i wonder if it's common practice for other blogs to randomly change their blog names once in a short while. because i did it first and then connie did it and we both do it now to a ridiculous degree. so i'll just go rename my blog now again.

i was so not playing with my rubik's cube. i was looking out the subway train window and wondering why the train was stopping at some stops and then skipping like four in a row, and thinking "uh oh, what if it doesn't stop at my stop". but it did, because mine was a big stop, and it was an express train or something, and it only stopped at the big stops, meaning that it stopped at my stop, because mine was a big stop, so it stopped at my stop. i want free food.
we missed you at fellowship last night, derek. dave was lost without you. =)
so today i am going to philadelphia to watch a professional lacrosse game... MEN's to be precise. it's going to be so cool!!! jackie [or is it jacky?] got box seats and we're going to go and watch it and eat free food and it's going to be cool. :) heh, anyways... yeah. it's a little too early in the morning to blog about anything interesting. so, i guess that's it. bye, y'all. i'll see YOU on the flip side.... [hahahaha.... *sigh*.. i crack myself up.] Friday, March 30, 2001
and you spelled "capitalized" wrong. anyway, i guess i can start trying not to claw at my face every time i see your ghetto typing -- maybe. i was out for about fifteen hours today, wow. so let's see what happened: i woke up at 5:30, i showered and changed and got my stuff that i'd packed the night before, i'm usually very good at preparing ahead of time, my mom drove me to the airport plaza academy bus stop at around 6:20, i got on the bus and rode for an hour or so to port authority in times square, i walked across underground to the A subway going uptown, i rode that for about half an hour until 175th street ( the port authority terminal was at 42nd ) and then i went to the george washington bus terminal, got on a bus going across the bridge back into new jersey, and rode it across and got off at the first stop. whee. so i had to go through new york to go somewhere in new jersey -- i find it a little annoying. on the subway ride in the morning, i turn around and this kid is blatantly staring at me, and when he sees me looking at him, his head just like snaps to the other side so he's now facing the opposite direction. it was a little weird. but yeah, okay. some new yorkers are very cool-looking.
model UN looked fun. i want to do security council. small committee, everyone talks quite a bit, people yell at each other, they actually make real decisions and talk about real things going on. not like the world trade organization talking about money, which one kid told me was the most boring thing in the world. and security council gets these crises that they have to deal with, which are usually pretty cool. everyone should do model UN. or no, not everyone -- hm. anyway, it was fun. china was really hostile.
OH YEA!!! u guyz i have the gymnastix state championships 2morrow.... im soooo nervous!!!! ahhhhh!!!!! OMG........ pray 4 me 2nite pleezzzzzzzzzzzzz
now look wut u started derek... shame on u...
lets see how much those 9 words annoyed derek... now not capitilized.. that's one what is "wut".... that's 2 you is "u"... 3 no comma b4 derek... 4 derek not capitilized... 5 lotsa periods afta derek... 6 shame not capitilized.... 7 u again.... 8 lotsa periods again.... 9 9 derek annoyances in 9 words... wow i am talented :) hehe
hey guys..
so i got about twelve hours of sleep last night. mmmm... it felt good. i went to bed around nine and i woke up.. around nine. i think you should all try that sometime. hehe.. =) i spent the majority of the day in my pajamas. i was just too darn lazy to change.. you know, what's the point if you're not even going anywhere? ;) guess what i watched? sleepless in seattle. what a good movie. *sigh* so romantic.. i love it. i'm in a mushy mood now. hehehe... i think we should have some sort of chick flick marathon. that would be cool. and then we can follow it up with a manly man movie marathon. [hey, alliteration!] hahaha.. yes, i am a nerd. i loved your paragraph, caitlin! and your "ghetto speak" is surprisingly good, too. =) yeah, so i guess that's all that happened today. it was kind of boring.. but relaxing. ah, yes, the joys of slacking. heh. alrighty then............. bye dudes
hello. as derek was complaining that i haven't blogged in awhile, i'm going to blog. hey guess what. i made a blog. i've never used html on here before. does it work? i don't know. if you want to be on my blog, give me a "holla" n i'll c wut i can do 4 u. ghetto speaky. right. anyway, our play is tonight. DAMN YANKEES. come see it. at Freehold Township HS. or if you can't come tonight cuz of fellowship or whatever else, come tomoddo afternoon at 100 for the understudy performance or tomoddo night at 800 for closing night. yeah. FTHS is da bomb. ba boom. 7th heaven made...my mom cry today. she always cries watching 7th heaven. i do too occasionally. this was an extremely random blog today. yeah, hope to see you at my school tomoddo!
good luck to everbody taking the SATs tomoddo. and i know that's like...no body cuz you all did so well the first time that there isn't a need to take them again. I, on the other hand...do. bye!
i kno rightz? dis writin is wack yo. i luv ghetto writin. ghetto writin iz da bomb diggidy. derek, Y u against itz yo. iz soo fun. =) ok enough of that. so i can't really write with perfect grammer or punctuation. it's just not my nature on the computer unless i'm typing a paper up or something. and even if i do write i paper, i get points off for spelling going to as "gonna" or no capitalizing my i's. but usually word does it automatically for you. so i guess it's hard for me. this is my normal writing right here. i'm sorry if it's not that great. hey caitlin, that was a pretty nice paragraph u typed up there. it's really....professional. well anywayz <~~oops. ok i'll stop. well i'll be back
Do you know what I think everyone should do? I think we should all write online as if we were writing an essay for English class. Yes, I mean perfect grammar, punctuation, and spelling. I suggest writing three or four drafts, and perhaps even having someone else revise our work as well, to eliminate all possible errors. Otherwise, no one will ever be able to understand the ideas that we're trying to convey, and our brilliant thoughts and valuable opinions will be lost forever in pages and pages of illegible nonsense. Therefore, not only must we eliminate all colloquial speech from our online writings, but also we must --
man, i can't write like that anymore. i find that both ghetto speak and acceptable english are difficult online for me [haha, stephanie..ghetto speak]. i found a topic for my research paper! see, these are the exciting things that go on in my life. Thursday, March 29, 2001
i dunno wut ure talkin abt ghetto writin iz so kewl n stuf n it shortenz time at mah comp bigg thanx 2 whoever invented it ......................... ghetto writin 2day n 4eva!
ps ahm makin fun of derek not da peeps dat type dis way (well maybee both) peace
oh my gosh, jessica -- i really really can't stand your typing. stop it, stop it. and so let's explain exactly what i don't like about ghetto typing, shall we. we shall. to me, it's all laziness. words that end in "ks" truncated and replaced with "x" at the end. words that end with "s" that get replaced with "z". the vowel "o" getting replaced with "u", the letter "y" being replaced by "ah", the combination "er" getting replaced by "a", and the word "what" being written as "what", "and" being replaced with "n". "ing" words without the last "g". and there's punctuation -- the lack of it. no commas, no apostrophes, capital letters inserted everywhere all the time for no reason. oh, i almost forgot the extra letters at the end of words like you forgot to lift your finger off the key. slang people make up that are shortened versions of other words, like "comp". and the overuse of periods like "............." gets to me. also, stupid stupid numbers. "for" replaced by "4", "to" being replaced by "2" -- and the worst is in places like "2day" and "2morrow" and "4eva" and "4get" and ugh. i'm getting more and more annoyed.
i guess i'll be back to blog about something that actually happened.
i don't like holmdel anymore...I STILL HAVE SCHOOL!!! =P this month my school has had no day-offs or half-days..oh man i really need a day off. oh if it were tomorrow -- i am currently swamped with so many projects/stories/tests all due tomorrow. it stinks when the end of the marking period rolls around..
elllie are you really going to go to holmdel prom?!? with someone else who doesn't go to holmdel?!? tell me how you're gonna pull that off. =P alright, i'm going to get back to work...so much for going to holmdel bball game/marlboro lip sync/monmouth reg. play. haha..
haha, i might go to the holmdel prom with someone that doesn't go to holmdel ... um, i'll explain the particulars once i'm sure that we're really going to do it. yes, ... forget i mentioned anything. in fact i have nothing good to say so you can forget i was ever here. technically i could just erase all of this and really *not* have ever been here, but that just wouldn't be any fun.

*sigh* i never realized the hilarity of that conversation until i read it again. and.. yes, it was quite amusing. hehehe.. :)
so apparently ms. hoheb really likes the way i do my homework. man. that was really awkard. REALLY awkward. did you guys all notice how i tried to avoid eye contact? hahaha. wow... funny stuff. i'm hoping that my comp book and binder will make up for my yucky test average. that would be nice. so, uh, i guess i should get back to homework. gotta go translate some latin!!! yeah! hehe, okay, bye! Tuesday, March 27, 2001
dude guys, that is tooo funny. especially because..oh nevermind. but still, very very funny. i am quite amused. and derek said his blog's slow. but i think, it's like the economy, and when things start doing really well, they eventually get to a point where they can't do any better, and thus must begin do worse [i.e. people blog more and more until they can't blog any more often and hence begin to blog LESS often] but if one looks at it objectively, things are still going pretty well; they just seem to be doing badly because one begins to grow accustomed an insanely good economy, and uses it as the standard. or one begins to get used to people blogging all the time, et cetera, et cetera.
i notice that i often make up these really long, drawn-out analogies that don't make sense to anyone but me. actually, i do it quite a lot. like that time i was trying to explain to christine how to breathe when running, and i was talking about the graphs of two lines intersecting, and well, nevermind.

::i know you're tired of being lonelyy so baby put it on me..::
haha..derek i see you've read the sony style magazine -- it's actually a good magazine! i think i've read every article in there..no matter how dorky that sounds. i don't know..i think i myself am leaning towards the purple MD player. ;) but yeah, i'm a bit confused over which one i would buy. i figure -- how about you get one, and i get the other one? then we can do an MD player swap thing if we want to. no? ok..yeah i thought it was a weird idea too. hm..well tomorrow i start terra-nova standarized tests. [think ctbs with a different name and additional science and history]. if you ask me, its a waste of time. it's supposed to determine whether or not students should belong in basic skills. i say that they should only test students in basic skills then..or something like that. at any rate, i'm pretty bitter because the rest of the school gets to sleep in until 9 30. we should at least get half days. or friday off. how about sophomore cut day..? well anyway, i think i'll be heading off to bed..did anyone see the pepsi britney spears commercial ? i thought it had pretty cool choreography. hm...i feel like dancing. or better yet, going to prom! [ok that was a stretch] after hearing ellie talk about the shoes and purse and possible prom dresses on saturday..well...yeah. alright, i'm out. =)
wow that wuz random. im bored. wut are we supposed 2 do 4 our chem lab..? i turned on the comp thinkin that i'd get it ova with 2day n then i realized that we dunt even have analysis questions... i guesss i wuzn't payin attention in class that day... *oops* i have ja rule stuck in my head... ::where would i be without uuuuu i only think bout uuuuuuu::
and oh, i almost forgot. this is so funny, i had to post it.
from the "people" section of time magazine, march twenty-sixth: "it's hard to tell if the pain prince charles appears to be experiencing is derived from listening to himself deejay or from the knowledge that this photo probably won't make him a huge hit with the ladies. the unlikely event occurred as charles was touring a new south london youth shelter. spotting a mixing deck and turntables, he said, 'oh, you've got a disco here.' soon the prince of wales was behind the wheels of steel, and with the aid of two rhythmic young urchins he set about mixing 'i don't smoke the reefer' by dj dee kline and 'little man' by the lost boys. the music was punctuated by such princely exclamations such as, 'dig that crazy rhythm!' and 'are you insane?' one of the youths remarked, 'you need big hands for scratching and a light touch ... his hands were massive.' at least that should help charles with the ladies." i can't imagine prince charles saying those things. haha, and his massive hands.
i fixed my cd player, wow. that cool white one that i love and really like because it was so inexpensive and has this cool quasi-equalizer sound thing and well. it wasn't spinning for some reason, and so i opened it up and turned it on -- and didn't notice the little sticker about warning against using it with the case off because of radiation from the laser -- and then i opened the little-big module thing with the motor and the laser and then i closed it again. i think there was something lodged in the motor, like a strip of wire or something, that was in something's way and not letting it spin. but anyway, it's fixed.
but i still want an md player. ellen showed me this issue of "sony style" that had the new products coming out in late spring and early summer, and they have this cool new mz-g750dpc bundle with a new player-recorder that's a cheaper version of the mz-r900, which i've wanted for a while. those are links to t-station. it's a cool site. but so the cheaper cost-reduced less good one comes in green and purple [!!!] and has a usb pclink cable, and they come with a pair of streetstyle headphones -- oh, and it has an am/fm radio tuner. on the other hand, the better more-expensive one has an lcd remote and an alarm clock and rechargeable batteries and cool text functions and sound settings and well. it's so hard to choose.

well after like a week of getting unaccustomed to doing homework at home, i realize that i have a euro worksheet and a euro test that spans three chapters that are both tomorrow (or due tomorrow). man ... i've worked like a total hour and fifteen minutes tonight and they really stunk. okay that's a lot when you're a senior and it's springtime (relatively) and my third quarter grades were still pretty good! unfortunately i have to kind of work at euro. when did i start blogging without writing my i's capitalized?
but enough complaining about school, since it seems to have sort of monopolized the board recently. i'm looking far far ahead to having my license and really looking forward to it. a friend of mine gave me something to hang from the rearview mirror already and my mom was like, "er, aren't you getting a little ahead of yourself?" i was also looking at keychains at the mall and thinking, "hmm, i guess i do have two and a half months until i technically need one so ..."
so. i'm assuming chemistry is a tough class at holmdel high school. i guess that means my school sucks since i found chemistry to be qutie easy last year...and you guys are a lot smarter than me. this week is going to suck. i have to stay at school until 1000 monday tuesday and wednesday, and the thursday friday and saturday is our play. Everyone come see our play, Damn Yankees! At Freehold Township High School. thursday at 730. friday at 800. saturday at 100 and 800. yeah. watch me clunk away on the keyboard. hmm. it's 1030 on my clock. and i'm not even halfway done with my paper that happens to be due tomoddo. and i'm wasting precious time blogging because...? because i don't feel like writing this paper. that's ok. i still have at least 1.5 hours before i feel it's getting too late to still be doing english. by 12, i should be moving on to my history, prepare for the yummy quiz. oh and math. ack. i heard it's very hard. my friend had to get her mom to do it, her mom's a math teacher. yeah. i'll just tell all you holmdel and mhss and other non freeholders about my boring life and everything that's ever happened in it. i hate living in freehold. did you know that if i lived in holmdel, i would be friends with all of you? or at least i'd know who you were. i feel very excluded. right. anyway, see you at the math meet tomoddo. or, see YOU. that made no sense. i like to blog. maybe i'll make my own blog and put some competition out with derek's. i'll see how it turns out.
and i come onto my blog after about an hour or so of making up chem things like practice problems in my comp book and homework, and the first thing i see is -- well. so anyway, tennis isn't that great. i think it was just these few weeks, though. i was actually not all that bad during tryouts, but the coach just somehow decided not to put me on his list. and hey richard, i heard roger beat you. um, so yeah. i still think i should be on the team, but i'll stop talking about it from now on. and anyway, studying chem is actually quite a difficult process. first you have to read the chapter over and over, and then find things you don't understand, and then you sit down and have a discussion-type thing where you ask each other questions. and then you go to the computer and watch videos of bad asian boy-band wannabes and dexter freebish's "leaving town" and well. i should be on the tennis team. model UN didn't work out, ugh. i guess i'll try for the next conference. at least i learned some things about it, and then some other things about planning activities and events and whatnot. i haven't even started to really look at my drivers ed manual yet. spring has sprung. well, not really.

you know you've had too much drivers ed when instead of mph, you write mpg. yea. this week's been really screwy. i felt like i wanted to chew up my chem and english book, flop down on my bed, and turn on Bohemian Rhapsody full blast. and i couldn't get this one darn word at the chinese dictionary contest. yes and the 2-4 class is getting quite annoying. we always end up working on something that i don't need any work on at that point. like today i needed to do groundstrokes, but we ended up doing 2nd serves and volleys. blah. four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
hey u guyz, it's jess tai. wuttuppp??? newayz, i type really ghetto so im sorry 4 all of u that cant make out wut im sayin... chem test on monday maybe i should actually get my lazy ass up n study.... *sigh* oh wellz. wuteva~ good job at ur scrimmage 2day gal trackies! heard u guyz won by a lot... 2 bad 4 ocean puhahhahaha. ok ill leave already cyazz~
so um, hi. i think i'm actually going to do some chem studying today at allison's house, wow. maybe they'll teach me how to study, so i can do that instead of the cramming act i always end up performing during my other classes on the day of the test. i need this grade, kind of. two minute before i go practice a little piano. and well, yeah. this weekend, i also have to find all my homeworks and underline all the things in my comp book and then just do a bunch of school-related things and so forth. it's so annoying. i'm going to leave now.
i have a track scrimmage today! i'm really really nervous... and i got ten hours of sleep last night. i think that's the first time i've slept that much since christmas break. and chemistry, chemistry...i find it slightly amusing that i don't even HAVE a binder..but i do have all the homeworks, i think. i'll have to check. and does she want the worksheets too, and the lesson packets? i think she's doing this to give us more grades because everyone is doing kind of crappy this marking period. or maybe not. oh well, i better go hydrate myself.
Friday, March 23, 2001
i love fifty mile-per-gallon winds. and yes, stephanie -- you pump your arms vigorously when you walk too, and you almost hit me when i passed you in the hall today. when i was speed-walking and i was like "woh" next to you, but um. yeah. well, not vigorously. i can't find the word. today when hoheb told us that she was going to be checking homework along with the comp books, i was thinking "oh no, oh no". but i did find every single homework in the massive pile of papers in my chem binder, except for maybe one. i'm not sure which one -- i might have to look again. and this last test is the one that decides on whether i get an A test average. it's like pressure, ugh. i hate this kind of pressure. it's like the "rise up to the occasion" type of situation, and sometimes i end up falling short of my mark, and it's really just kind of -- oh, i don't know. i can't believe i'm actually making plans to study chem over the weekend.
i've noticed that the people i hang out with rub off on me a lot. it's very weird. like the "mm" thing. you say that too much, derek. now i'm starting to say it. eeeeew... =)
i'm so tired. practice is so draining. and i pump my arms a lot when i run. i must look like an idiot.. hmm..hehehe. anyway, i felt like i was going to pass out. FUN. :) okay, i'm tired already. bye dudes.
so we had shortened practice today cause of the 50 mpg winds. playing in that kind of wind is really weird. coach said "this bites." i probably would have stayed and hit anyway, but i wanted to come home and finish all my work so i could concentrate on chem and drivers ed. funny the number of the only homework i was missing in my notebook for chem was the same number as the score i got on that last darn test. what are the odds of that happening? so these are the times that try men's souls, the summer slacker and the sunshine studier, will in this crisis shrink from the studying for this next chem test, but he that studies now, deserves a perfect score and an A for the year. now i seem to be missing homework number 100....
wowee. i'm home, the week is over -- at least the school week. let's see what i have starting tomorrow: chinese school or worship practice, tennis, mall, studying for chem maybe, church, more studying for chem, and maybe a little studying for drivers ed too. i haven't actually been to the red bank ymca since we got that family membership a month or two ago. mm. next monday, i have an english poetry presentation, a chem test that i can't screw up on, a drivers ed permit test on theory, what else. model UN, i might have to do that. i'm not too sure about it yet -- i might go by myself. we'll see. funny, i wonder why i'm so wired right now.
Thursday, March 22, 2001
stephanie, isn't it really depressing that our childhoods are over now? and that we're trying to remember them? everyone is getting so old. i really really really wish it were still third grade.
don't say "mm". that's my interjection. and this week is turning worse and worse and worse. i think it all started last monday. anyway, i probably shouldn't even be blogging right now -- i have to rush all this MUN thing. and i don't know. more tomorrow.
mm.. that sounds really good, caitlin. i, too, would like to run to my room and hide under the covers. =) i remember when i went to your house a really really really long time ago.. and you had a way-cool backyard. i'm remembering lots of trees.. yeah. i've got this fuzzy image of me looking out into your backyard from somewhere in the house.. hmm. i wish i could remember more of my childhood. that would be so cool.
today was kind of icky. i felt like i was swimming when i was walking home. the lower areas of the grass were completely filled with water and the wind was blowing really hard. and a pond magically appeared in my neighbor's backyard. bleh. i'm sick of rain. you know, pajamas are really comfy. and so is my bed. i propose skipping school tomorrow and staying in bed all day. that would be sweet. ;)
today was a strange day. once again, all of my commitments are catching up with me, and i feel like running to my room and hiding under my covers and not coming out for a week. yep, when the going gets tough, i ignore/run away from responsibility. and i'm a pushover. man, what's with me right now? i cannot deal with pressure at all..i don't think i'm going to be able to be an adult. i'll have move to the bahamas and sell jewelry on the beach or something. even having fun is stressful now, because you have to organize plans and call people and get rides and blah. i wish i were little and i could just sit in my treehouse with a blanket and read books all day. maybe i'll go live at walden pond.
Wednesday, March 21, 2001
yeah, steph, I thought today was an overall baaaad day too. but I'm thinking it's for the reason that you were hoping for. yeah, hm, I guess I shouldn't really have revealed that to all of you sophomores and people I don't know, but, WHATEVER. ;-)
so, ... it wasn't a great day which I said already but I blogged aaaaaall about the past five days of my life (most of which I haven't been online for some reason or another) so you can go read it! if it actually decides to work for you, that is. (yeah, yeah, and happy birthday derek, blah blah blah ;-).
happy birthday derek!
yeah. that's pretty much all i wanted to say. i lead a very boring life. actually, i'm supposed to be at school at the winter sports awards thing...and, well, i'm not there. because...i'm lazy. that's one reason anyway. so...i've had a lot on my mind lately. not that you'd really want to know. and i am very hyper. i know. you can't tell. oh well.
uuuuuuuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh............ today sucked. stupid chemistry test. grrr.. stupid rain. stupid school. stupid stupid stupid stupid. stupid.
i'm not feeling well. every little thing has either annoyed the heck out of me or made me cry. i'm hoping it's just pms. ANYWAY.. happy birthday, again, derek. i hope you had fun in new york today. =) can i be part of the adam's crush fan club???! i know, it's gonna be mostly boys, but you guys are just so good... "oooo-o-o-oh.. if love could choose sides, oooo-o-o-oh.. " and i don't know the rest of the words.... yeah! :P ok, so that probably wasn't the most interesting blog.. but, whatever. i needed to vent. thanks for your time. =) bye!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEREK!!!!
there, don't you feel all loved n stuff? So i spent all this time loggin in just to write that little message for you. Guess what, I'm downloading the karaoke version of Eden's Crush so now we can become an actual Adam's Crush and get screaming guy fans all over us with Conroy takin in all our fan calls as the head of our fanclub n all...so that's all, I guess i don't have much to say even tho i haven't blogged fer about a week. LaX just makes me too gosh-darn tired. Weep.
yea no tennis practice today. all you lacrosse and track people still have practice. i express my sympathy for you, unless of course you enjoy running around the hallways. then there's derek's birthday. happy birthday derek. i hope you didn't have to walk around new york today in this nasty rain. what nice weather for your birthday. and your blog is broken, or maybe i'm just impatient cause the last 2 blogs i've actually posted twice. it seems i have been faked out by the blogger. whoa now.
Tuesday, March 20, 2001
darnit i broke my racquet strings during practice. maybe there will be no practice tomorrow because of the rain they're predicting, and i'll be fine. my other racquet is probably 10 years old and it stinks. and i think i finished my chem and math hw together in a record (for me)................35 minutes! woohoo. and i just saw another funny sportscenter commercial. it was the one where they're talking about new jersey and all this good stuff that comes from new jersey, and then all of a sudden Bon Jovi starts playing "its my life" and its now or never, i aint gonna live forever. i just want to live while i'm alive. its my life. i think i've just inspired myself to not study for the latin quiz. ok i've just lost that inspiration.
so i blogged this nice, looong blog a few minutes ago.. but then, out of nowhere, i get kicked off-line before i can post it. well, isn't that just splendid? oh boy. it hurts to have to go through an ordeal like that.. *sniff* :)
post-it notes are cool. they remind me of "romy and michelle's high school reunion." did you guys ever see that? yeah, yeah, i know.. not exactly one of those "intelligent" movies, but it was funny! and stupid. but it was entertaining, nonetheless. =) heh, anyways, in the movie, one of the characters [i don't remember if it was romy or michelle... ] was pretending that she invented post-it notes. amusing, yes? i thought so. :) today was the first day of spring. it smelled like spring.. if you know what i mean. today was also kind of a weird day. not too bad, not too good. eh. it was very blah. blah blah blah. i suppose a blah day is better than a bad day. but a good day would have been nice. hey, did you know that it's supposed to snow on friday? weird.. tomorrow is derek's birthday. happy birthday, derek! [see, i had to wish you a happy birthday now, since you're skipping school tomorrow.....! man. i want to skip school. not that i'm jealous or anything... ;)] alrighties. that was a somewhat condensed version of my previous attempt at a blog. so... i guess i'm out of here. bye!
hey everyone, i haven't blogged here for a while. well today's been very unproductive for me. i think i'm losing my voice....it doesn't sound very pleasant. maybe it's cuz i've been singing to nsync all day. sorry to all those bsb lovers. but ya know....i just can't resist the charm of justin and JC *sign*. ok well back to reality. well i saw a picture of my studly self today. it was one of my GQ pics.....ask michelle(tai). not michelle yam.....hey dave...it's michelle yam from the blog! =) well anywayz....this is a short blog. i'll be back soon.....tah tah....toodles

so guess what? our first singles quit. i think he was mad at coach for something about following the rules, and then he lost to the new sophomore kid Mike. so the some us who were watching them play were in a state of shock when he slammed and half-annihilated his racquet on the court and stormed off cursing at coach. so that was not the most pleasant experience i ever had. so i guess some us will get more playing time. darn chem lab.
i want that MD player. ellen, show me the sony style catalog soon, so i can decide whether i want to wait or not. and i'm not a very inspirational person -- i didn't accomplish anything today. that stinks. tomorrow's another day. and what do you write on your post-it notes? i make stick figure flip-books with them. those are fun. i have a bunch of lists in text files on my computer, though. lists are fun. i have to finish those pillows sometime soon -- i'm thinking about before may or so. i have like seven or eight to do, ugh. and i never gave all these people birthday gifts, and i can't just give them something unthoughtful -- it's all about the right gift. i think i'll go to the mall this saturday. or sunday, i don't know. hm, i might not be in school wednesday. i'm going to visit two of those art and design schools in new york with caitlin, to see if i want to do a summer program -- which costs like thousands of dollars -- and well. whee, missing school. my mom last week asked me if i wanted to skip school on my birthday. mm, i don't know. school isn't all that bad. except for today, with that horrible terrible big bad chem test, which i probably completely messed up on. i think it's the hardest one i've taken so far -- i didn't even have time to check. i was like "um, don't know this one, crap, i'll come back to it later", and when i got to the end, there were like twenty questions blank. and then later, i was like "how could i have been so stupid, ugh" to myself. or not really, because i still didn't know the answer. i should've studied more. i did study. ranting is therapeutic. i think i'll run all the way around the meadowwoods tomorrow and come back up laurel and run to barnes and noble and immerse myself in some good book. or magazine. where, oh where, are my design magazines. and the AE catalog, i think i'm supposed to get one. maybe they cancelled me, it always happens. i'm know i'm ranting.
hm..ever since saturday night, i've been having this insanely full feeling. i think i ate too much. blehh that was really disgusting. =P
anyway, i think derek is rubbing off on me -- in a good way. starting yesterday, i've been making schedules on these blue post-it notes. technically, i've been making lists on post its for a while..but being the dork i am, they were the computer post it notes on the screen [my brother has been dling random program things lately..dork! =)]. and then i came to the sudden realization that i don't look at the screen all that often since somebody else is usaully in front of it. sooo, i opted for the post-it notes that are actually tangible. i just used a vocab word. oh my goodness i feel like a dork. and i think i'm getting kind of uptight and...anal retentive [which would explain the postit schedules]. hm..maybe i'm starting to get out of my sophomoritis. ok, i'm going to go now..argh i don't feel like myself. oh, and happy early birthday derek. pat me on the back because i remembered. hehe..just kidding. =) and..you're still writing those pillows?!
i was going to start my little four-hour thing today, my "plan for moral perfection" -- as some people were calling it. anyway, i got sidetracked because after i did about a hundred crunches for no reason when i got home, i ate ice cream and a cookie and then fell asleep when i went upstairs. so much for willpower. i was going to run today too. maybe tomorrow. tomorrow -- i'll be sure to make sure that i don't fall asleep. i think i have this weird tendency to get drowsy after i eat things. starting um, tomorrow, i won't be eating ice cream or cookies anymore. i think cookies are evil. ice cream is good, but i'll just have to stop eating it. tomorrow, i'm going to finish writing some of those pillows, play some guitar, go run, run to barnes and noble and look for some books or magazines, et cetera. i hope it won't be like today. my hair is sticking up.
so..i have nothing to say..i don't feel like boring everyone with the details of my day because everyone else basically did the same stuff as me. i couldn't do a workout today because i pulled my hamstrings wearing four inch heels to a party. my coach was not pleased. let's see..what else...i ate this really good shortbread cookie yesterday and i felt like i had to run about ten miles today to burn it off. it was extra-butter and everything. ugh. gross...i can't believe i ate it. but i ran seven instead of ten. one hundred calories a mile...i think i'm going to go see how many calories those cookies have.
haha, i blogged about a cookie. i'm not normally like this. Sunday, March 18, 2001
so apparently different hair cut places (barber shop sounds so old school) have different number systems for their razors, and now i look like i'm joining the marines. the guy was like, "usually wrestlers cut their hair like that. do you wrestle?" and i was like um do tennis players ever get buzz cuts? and i have a new baby cousin Anthony. and his parents had me feed him and he kinda spit his baby formula onto me. i have a knack for getting thrown up upon by little kids. so does derek (ski trip-you remember). my head feels cold.
i think my blog's broken. and what did i come here to say, i really don't remember. yesterday was kind of a weird day -- i was out maybe more than i've been in a while. chinese school, model UN, saw a movie at someone's house. the bergen county academy is really big and cool. it's like high tech, but with cooler people and smarter people. and like half of the people were asian, almost. i was surprised. if i lived there, i would want to go to that school. but um, yeah.
Saturday, March 17, 2001
hi everyone!!!! i haven't been online all week.... i feel sort of deprived. haha. i am so addicted to the internet. utterly [ udderly =) ] and pitifully addicted. *sigh* hahaha.. kind of amusing though.
so we had our first scrimmage today. it was in tom's river east. i was about to hurl myself out the bus window if we had to drive any longer. man. and then when we got there, there was some other game and we started late. so i ended up getting home at, like, 3:45. but, the greatest part was that JV actually won [yay!] and we went to mcdonalds afterwards [grease!!!!! i love fast food..] and another bonus was that i actually scored a goal.. haha. everyone else played really well too.. i think the score was, like, 6 - 1 or something. yay! =) so now i'm "doing homeowork." i sacrificed going to the mall for homework. man, i am such a nerd. heh. anyways, if this coming week is anything like this past week, i will have to hurt someone. ARGH. i did not get enough sleep this entire week and all the teachers seem to want to pile on the homework just when sports start. grr.. i was so mad. i felt like i was going to explode from stress. ungh.. i am tired...... bleh. so, i guess i should get to that homework stuff now. blah. bye guys.. Friday, March 16, 2001
hey, no one blogged. and so here i am, actually home on a friday night. i was feeling kind of sick today, or like really tired -- it must've been the week. it was so long. i had so many tests and essays and homework and tennis tryouts and so many things. i should find a shack somewhere like thoreau and run away to live in it. anyway, so since i didn't make the tennis team, now i have so much time on my hands. and so i've been thinking about what i should do with my free time. something productive. and this is what i came up with: starting next week or so, every weekday after school, i'll have an hour for physical exercise kind of thing, an hour for art-design stuff, an hour for writing things, and an hour for music. on saturdays, i guess i have chinese school and tennis, and i can go do some other things. on sundays, i have church and then maybe i'll go to the red bank YMCA to swim and use their weight room or something. it seems a little too ambitious, though. i wonder if it'll work. if it does, not making the tennis team might be the best thing that ever happened to me.
Thursday, March 15, 2001
oh, i was kind of annoyed today. another year of not making the team -- i heard that someone said they were not ever going to pick up a racquet again if they didn't make it, and i was considering that for a while too. except i was kind of annoyed because i really felt that i deserved a spot on the team, ahead of maybe one or two people possibly. like i know that i could be better than them, but i guess it was just a [bad bad bad] judgement call by the coach. he gave us his "this is the worst part of doing this, thanks for coming" speech again, just like last year. i just laughed, and people looked at me. i often do the wrong inappropriate things at the worst times. and now it's an hour later since i started this blog. i hate doing this essay.
hmm this compsci stuff is getting quite annoying. i did like 25 problems this morning in class that were all asking "what is the output of this statement?" and by the end of the period i felt strangely lightheaded. so now i'm staring at about 6 or 7 more of those same problems. and they have all this loop stuff too, so for each problem you have to keep going through the loops, sometimes like 15 times. i'm starting to have my doubts about ap compsci, but i guess since i'm already in this class. ah, to be doing karel again...pick beeper, drop beeper...
whacking tennis balls is fun. and now i get to do that just about every day for 2 hours. so i have this story from yesterday, because i didn't have time to blog. when i was in the commons after practice, mr loughran called me over to talk to him, and then he tells us all to turn around and look at this freshman couple. and at the count of 3 we all go "AAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!" and it was fun. yea and it is important to know the difference between the 2 second rule and the rule of thumb for following distance, cause its the difference between an A or B on a quiz, or B or C, or C or D, or D or F, or F or F, or F or F, if you get them in the wrong order. in history today we were talking about school violence and we were sharing our hazing stories and mr bryer kept making us crack up. and then we learned that 2 holmdelian students were once caught bringing pipe bombs to school, and 3 other holmdelians were killed by a pipe bomb...how sad :(. so we have another drivers ed quiz tomorrow and now i have to go look up the medical terms "stent" and "myocardium."
i realized that the clock i use and the clock on the comp are pretty off from each other. like, 12 minutes? let's see...my clock says 3:44.
Wednesday, March 14, 2001
hmm. undulate was the word that popped up in my head. undulate- to move in a wave like motion. SAT vocab word. that's the exact definition. i memorized it in the summer...pretty impressive huh? for some strange reason, it left a deep impression in my mind...
late. gnite. oh wow! i was a whole hour off! ok, so i can't tell time. it's only 11:15. not 12:15... bye.
christine!!!! unda!!! i was thinking the exact same thing. and that's like the only latin word i remember, except for puella and puer and casa (but only because that's a spanish word). oh yeah, and sed, and poeta. and mons. mens et manus. that's the name of the MIT college brochure. and i knew what it meant. that was my exciting moment of the day. and the other was when i got to stand on a chair which was on a table in the commons to hang up my fashion show sign. mr. loughran kept telling me to come down, and i kept saying it wasn't straight and staying up there trying to fix it. so those were the only memorable parts of my day. oh wait, there was one other part: when i learned that it IS important to know the difference between the 2-second rule and the rule of thumb when driving. okay, now i'm just whining. that wasn't really all that memorable. at least, i hope i don't remember it, because if those are the kind of memories i have, my life must really suck.
i'm salivating just listening to dave describe his thin mints. i've been trying to eat healthy this past couple of weeks, but today i slipped and i had fries at lunch. *sigh* anyway, i was just reading his blog, with no intention of actually blogging because i'm so bogged down with work, when i saw the word "inundated"!
it kinda jumped out at me because in latin "unda" means "wave". so, i got pretty excited..that's all ir eally have to say. yup.
um, haha. tennis is so much fun. i'm definitely not being sarcastic. no, not at all. i wonder if i'm one of the people the coach is considering -- ugh. anyway, school's been normally normal, and i've been doing more this week than i usually do. whatever that means. i don't feel like blogging right now. how strange.
hahaha ... dave's blog about his keyboard made me crack up. and considering i'm sitting at a school computer and my friends are next to me and they have no idea what i'm doing ... yeah they think i'm pretty weird. man, the prospect of these next... five weeks of school are killing me! not because of work or anything but just out of sheer boredom. i always get home and laze around and feel like a big slob ... and always forget that i'm supposed to be doing something productive. actually i was running on the treadmill the other day (don't make fun of me) and it was a lot easier than it used to be, so i guess i have done *something* productive ... yes!
Tuesday, March 13, 2001
oo..girl scout cookies. i bought 4 boxes from my us history teacher's daughter. i know, i'm a suck up. =)
i was reading short stories today for school [very very disturbing stories..is this required among sophomores or something??] and i actually started reading herman melville's story..right. dang, that story is so long!!! after a while i just closed the book. it started out being pretty good though.. anyways, i don't really have much to say. did anyone read the asbury park press today? the headline for one of the stories is "from east to west: shore's asian population rises to more than 31,000" hm..interesting. and there's a picture of a little 3 year old girl who's from mccc. heh, and it confirms what we all already knew - holmdel has the largest asian population in monmouth county. haha..right. alrights, i'm out. maybe i'll have a more interesting blog tomorrow. =) read it..if you want.
So i just received today my box of girl scout cookies i ordered, and they are REALLY good. I downed a roll of thin mints by the end of the day...It's a good thing i bought only one or i would be SUPER fat and SUPER unhealthy. Also, it's good that they only sell them only once a year and they're not in stores. Otherwise i would be eating them all the time. I think they dip them in lard or fat or something to make them taste so good...the thin mints, the tagalongs...Yeah. I personally don't go for tagalongs anymore. the box only comes with 15 cookies while the thin mints come in 2 things of 19.
My keyboard has been doing some funny things ever since it got inundated with water from an icepack i left on my desk on friday. On saturday, whenever i would hit "y," it would go "ny" and whenever i hit "t," it would go "bt." That, however, went away on sunday. On sunday it would just throw a space whenever i hit "s" or "w," giving me "s " and "w ." That too went away. Yesterday my "esc" key wasn't working, nor was my spacebar. So it was kind of interesting when i was typing IMs without spaces in between them. I eventually capitalized the first letter of each new word; later i just decided to put a period between each word. Im using a school computer now so i don't know how my keyboard will be when i get back. Hopefully the spacebar/esc problem will have vanished like the rest and no new problems will arise.
hmm. i HATE history. i really do. it's my most hated class of all time. sorry. there is just nothing about it that even sparks my interest. yet i take AP history. and why, you ask? because i'm a dork. and i was just thinking after i read your blog, caitlin, of how boring my spanish class is. i have it last period of the day, and the teacher is just sooooooo boring. you can't imagine how much i want to bang my head on the table just to give her a clue. but, she's nice. in fact, she's *too* nice. so, i can't really say anything cuz then i'd feel bad. *suspiro* haha. a new way of sighing in a different language! cool!
anyway, today seemed SO much longer than the other days. i think it has to do with the amount of sleep i get. and my mood depends on it too. my friend told me i'm always in a bad mood. but i think i'm only in a bad mood when i don't get enough sleep. and i NEVER get ENOUGH sleep, which, as result, puts me in a bad mood. kinda like p => q and q => r. therefore, p => r. yes, i still remember my gee i'm a tree. though i did not like it. at all. so. i dont' think i've slept for more than 5.5 hours a night for the past 3 weeks or so. it feels really great to get burned out! especially when there's pit band practice until 900 three days a week. i love the way our schools put so much emphasis on homework and studying. (pst, btw, our play starts on thursday night, March 29, and runs until Saturday March 31!!) that's an SAT day. that day is gonna suck for me. mmm, wake up early to take a 3 hour test, rush over to my school to make the first show at 100, stay at school all afternoon, then play the second show of the day at 800. ah yes. i love my school. (!!) ok, that was a pretty good rant. i've noticed how sarcastic i've gotten lately. maybe it's because i'm starting to hang out with ellie more and more. Jay Kay!! Jay Kay!! .... yes, but it's true. i've become a lot more sarcastic than i used to be. and you know what else? i've become so incredibly lazy, i no longer know what to do with myself. i don't do anything anymore. so yesterday, i get home at 9:15. and then i'm on the phone at 9:20 and talk until 10:30. but only because my parents came home. and then i eat. and decide not to start my position paper until 11:00. so i finished my paper and wasted another 45 minutes doing i don't know what. and then i go to sleep. that's my day. i didn't do my math, i didn't do my spanish, i didn't do my english. yeah. i'm really lazy. and i practically quit all my extracurricular activities too. well, just sports, but that's what takes up all my time. so without sports, i have all this extra time to waste. and i really do waste it too. wow, that was a looong blog. i think it's because i'm bored. and that's because i'm not at track anymore, and you guys all are. or at tennis. or lacrosse. or something else. i need a life. Bye. (!!) Monday, March 12, 2001
speaking of herman melville's really long short story, i strongly urge all of you who have to read it to, well, read it. it's really creepy and disturbing, but in a good way. or wait, no, umm, that sounds weird. just make yourself get through it. it's worth it. me gusta la historia mucho porque es interesante y misteriosa, y creo que a todos va a gustarles. puedo explicarlo mejor en español. no, no es verdad, pero escribir en español es divertido. para mí. * suspiro * estoy muy cansada. pero, todavía tengo más tarea. tal vez voy a hacerlo durante mi periodo del almuerzo. sí, creo que eso es lo que voy a hacer. si no entienden ustedes este "blog," está bien, porque creo que el español está equivocado. buenas noches.
nor, by the way, am i "reamed." ... i did, however, write "est" for "et" one of those time, ... so that sounds stupid.
this is what babelfish.altavista.com has to say:
"hello. i am very reamed, then, i think of french ecriver. but i think that it is very generant for all the world... but... i inquiete not. i would write much, but i do not have anything to say. and, my grammar is very badly. is, i am in class and i am afraid. and, i wrote a little two hours ago. and, i am stupid. well! goodbye!" and, my grammar is also very badly. i can't find someone who knows my spanish homework.
i knew what you meant, but i was thinking, oh maybe he has a double meaning, and there were more perspectives, like in Herman Melville's really long short story "Benito Cereno."
no, you weren't even there. i was talking about something else. "leaving" doesn't mean the thing in the physical sense -- it's like, i don't know. tennis is stupid. i hate [love] it.
and yea sorry derek for leaving you like that in tennis, but now you know what happened. i probably should have double-checked with her. holmdel faculty has a knack for doing things like screwing their own students figuratively speaking.
wanna hear my calculator story? ok so i brought my books to orchestra because i wanted to finish some hw there, and somehow my calculator and pens and pencils and white-out and ruler and highliter fell out of my bag. and i didn't notice till i got home. so thats my calculator story, though i lost a lot more than that. yea and the nurse messed up my blue physical re-certification form. i handed it in 2 weeks ago and today the coach says i'm not cleared. ok then...so i go play basketball with a bunch of other guys that either blew it off or got screwed too by the nurse figuratively speaking. then one of the guys can drive so we say, hey why don't we go play at holmdel park. so we go and play some doubles and come back and i go ask the nurse about my form. she looks through her files...and lo and behold theres my form. and she says whoops i guess i forgot to put your name in. so i go talk to the coach and clear it up, and i wonder if i should finish my history paper today, b/c i have my rough draft done already. so i can look at it three ways: 1) crap! i lost a day to impress coach. or 2) yes! one less day to make a fool out of myself in front of coach. or 3) at least i didn't have to share 3 courts with 20 people. so i want to get one of those hybrid cars if i ever get one.
and i have no idea what you just typed. i'm too lazy to copy it and go find that translator site too. so anyway, tennis is like reality tv. it seems as though as soon as we get on the court, everyone is "every guy for himself, watch out, make sure you don't lose, no matter what you have to do". it's like "survivor". i thought all these people were my friends, and they just left me as soon as we started these stupid tryouts. how -- how nice. i guess you can really figure out what people are like. everyone's serious, yes, but you don't have to be mean and selfish and -- well. science league was like that, and i got out of it. but maybe i should've stayed. tennis, i don't know if i'll still be there for tryouts on wednesday. it's giving me such a headache: my mom came and just suddenly picked me up today to go to a doctor to have a sports physical because i think the other check-up date was over a year and the other doctor wouldn't sign it and the nurse wouldn't take it, and then i missed two class periods. my strings broke today during this doubles match against eric and dave grabosky, and well. i was playing really badly anyway. i can't believe how much i suck. it's pretty amazing, actually. i -- oh whatever, this is a stupid blog. i'm going to eat some coffee ice cream.
bonjour. je suis tres alésée, alors, je pense de ecriver en francais. mais je pense qu'il soit tres generant pour tout la monde ... mais ... je ne m'inquiete pas. j'ecrirais beaucoup, mais je n'ai rien dire. et, ma grammaire est tres mal. est, je suis en classe et j'ai peur. et, j'ai ecrit un peu il y a deux heures. et, je suis stupide. bien! au revoir!
i love being a senior. i didn't even consider doing any hw last weekend (as in yesterday and the day before). and my math teacher isn't here today but i just typed that whole story on my site so i don't feel like typing it again. so my whole math class is just like ... hanging out ... doing nothing. actually they're all deciding who's going to win in the ncaa tournament and, as sporty and athletic as i truly am, i don't have that many opinions on it so i'm just blogging instead.
hey i've been playing pokemon silver recently. i had like nine hours from friday-sunday alone. man i love being a senior ... sorry guys :-) Sunday, March 11, 2001
haha ellen, mrs liebert...she's psycho. And that jeremy tout....he has SUCH a big head. Whoa, im mean. Well, i too have a calculator anecdote to share. i was on a trip to ellis island and the such with my us hist class, and i was sitting next to this guy. I had my backpack with me and a graphing calculator was in it. He asked to play with it so i let him. I fell asleep until the end of the ride and when i got back home, i realized that i didn't have it. When i asked him about it, he was like "yea i must have left it on the bus." What an idiot.
I wasted so much time today. I'm the ultimate time waster. I actually have no idea where the time went. I got home from church and i did...somehting and then BAM it was like 4. I don't even know what happend during those 3? hours. It was like a time warp or something. So i start researching for this dual compare/contrast book review thing, i start writing it...(well i put the header on)...and BAM it was 6:30. So here i am with hw still; ive decided to put it off to tomorrow morning. My stupid school system has the bus arriving at school 40 mins b4 the actual time homeroom begins. It's actually quite amazing how fast i can get work done in there. Ok well i'll be off now.
ah yes, i lost my calculator on friday too..so for my chem quiz my teacher made me give her my shoe for collateral [sp?]. i felt like an idiot wearing one shoe. but then after 5 minutes or so, the guy with the big head [literally and in every other way] jeremy tout decides to debate on "my behalf" that if there was a fire drill, i would be caught inside and unable to escape to safety. dork. he does this for a few minutes, my off kilter chem teacher gets mad because she doesn't like to be "accused of endangering the safety of a student" and then literally throws my shoe back at me. grr. hey, i didn't say one word about the shoe. in fact i didn't really mind. stupid stupid guy with big head; now my chem teacher doesn't like me anymore [not like she did in the first place..].
ANYWAY..so that was my lil story about my lost calculator. hm, i think that's all i have to say..erm..random comments: steph, i'm sure your hair looks beautiful. napster's not shut down?! i didn't try yet.connie, i will come to your play. =P research paper..arghh i'm going to have to do one soon. i want to start model UN in my school. i want to have a nice stomach and then get my belly button pierced [i'm in a rebel mood..will be gone by tomorrow] i feel like having/going to a girly sleepover. allisnot got me in the mood for that. =) alright, i'm out.
hi everyone! i haven't been here in the longest time... well, i guess three days is not that long. okay, so i have a slightly off-kilter perception of time.. or something. and i feel stupid for spelling "wreak" "reek." i am so stupid... yeah. i try to sound smart, but it doesn't always work. my plan has been THWARTED! [hey, who here had gettis?] ;)
hmm... so i was really weird and pissy today. i think it's from the lack of sleep. four hours is really not enough. who woulda thunkit? hehe. anywho, i went to get a haircut today, and i started freaking out because i thought it was too short and i was pissing everyone off. yeah. not my best day. stupid pissy moods... blegh. =) the play was really really good!! michelle was so cute! i love conrad in his bathrobe and cowboy boots. so sexy! well, maybe not. i had a good laugh there.. actually i was, like, convulsing with laughter every.. five minutes? yeah, i think that was it. i laugh too much. it must be really annoying.. hahaha. =) tennis. ah, what an interesting sport. if any of you have seen me play tennis, i'm sure you would feel a lot better about yourselves. :) yes. i don't even know if you should consider what i do "playing tennis." hahaha.. i stink, man! yeah!!!! i take pride in my stinkiness. :) so practice started on thursday. i have no muscle.. anywhere.. in my body. man oh man. especially in the abodominal/lower back area. those crunches really killed me. hahaha.. apparently we are going to be training real hard this week! yay! hmm.. i am quite hungry. i think we might be having dinner soon. ok then.. bye bye :)
um, my calculator's gone. i was really worried at first, you can ask michelle about it, and i was saying things about like how i never got around to officially naming it, and how i took all those standardized tests with it, like well. and maybe five minutes ago, i remembered that i let someone borrow it on friday during geometry. lesson learned here: never let people borrow your things. or it could be that i'm stupidly forgetful. anyway. the play [yes] was really good..! i was amazed by how talented some people are -- i wish i could sing and dance and act and do all that without looking dumb and nervous. i was in a play once, like in second grade. it was some educational shakespeare thing put on by the gifted-and-talented program people, and i was some page for a queen or something. and um, hm. i should get to work on an essay that i haven't started. this [coming] week looks to be a painful one.
well, i didn't get to see the play. it's too bad, cuz i wanted to. no body asked me to go=( but it's ok, you guys can all come to see our play on the 29-31 of march. yeah. i'll be there. in the pit. with my keyboard. mmm...i have absolutely nothign to write about. it's sunday, almost sunday night. and i have not done any homework. that sucks. considering i have to read 60 pages of boring historical essays on who knows what and write a position paper on something but i dunno what. by tuesday. and find some kind of literary criticism on a character in macbeth. except our smart english teacher forgot to assign us characters. the man in the iron mask is on tv right now. leo dcap looks like a girl. esp with the long hair. and yes, i'm done. bye.
herro everyone, well i thought the play was really good. michelle, you're really good. everything is really good. =) i wish i can act. but i can't. i wish i can sing, but i can't. all i can do is sit back and enjoy other ppl do a good job. yea! well anywayz it was good. so derek.....napster did not close down. now i have a use for my mp3 player. hehe the 270 some odd bux did not go to waste! well i hardly use it anywayz. i'm so cautious with it and i don't bring it to school anymore cuz i don't wanna lose it or anything. it's sooooo precious. hehe. well anywayz, everyone's talking about tennis. i can't play tennis even if my life depended on it. maybe i should try some time. but then again the last time i did it didn't seem to go very smoothly. well basketball is the bane of my existence. ok not really, i don't really play much anymore but yea. well i'm working on this research paper due tomorrow. bleh! a month of research and i have 3 1/2 some odd pages to show for it. and i kinda plagiarized a little. but i'm not really sure cuz i wrote it and then i looked something up on the web and i found the same thing. weird. hopefully they won't find it. i'm gonna fail!! o well. alrighty, no more current news as of now. i'll be back
one boy, one special boy...=P michelle was so awesome in the musical!! aw yeah, i'm so proud *sniff*. soo..i saw bye bye birdie [apparently] and i was very much impressed. michelle had been giving me all these previews of the musical by saying, "it stinks! don't go!" but it was good. conrad..yeah. wasn't he the one who stripped in the play this year? ..i thought so.
anyways, let me tell you all about tennis, the bane of MY existance. heh..just kidding just kidding. i'm sure the both of you will do fine at the tryouts..although ocean guys are really good. oh yes, the lampa brothers. i remember having a lil thing for jr some summer ago. i am one twisted twisted little girl. whatEVER. well, today..was rather weird. i went to my old church [in like..many many years] and was basically smothered by people who remembered me that i didn't remember and the kids i grew up with who were like, "um..so you come now?" then again, it wasn't exactly at the most "get to know you better now" time to do it...i felt quite out of my shoes today. yeah..and now eugene wants the computer. older sibling monopolizing all forms of entertainment. or whatever you would call a computer. wow, i said "whatever" a lot in this blog. whatEVER. alright, i'm out. =) [oh yes..HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHELLE!!!] Saturday, March 10, 2001
wow i saw gone in 60 seconds yesterday. it was a really cool movie. i think i'll codename my car Superfly when i get one, if i get one. guess who i saw in chinese school today? dave wei! the guy behind the dave wei blogs! i was totally blown away. and i had a tennis tournament tonight. the first guy i played i beat 6-0 6-0. then i got to play abel lampa, that super good kid from ocean, who wasn't even playing singles last year, which shows how scary the ocean team is. and he smoshed me 6-0 6-1 with his super-smoshing serve. so i have this darn piano evaluation tomorrow morning. and that darn orchestra concert tomorrow afternoon. and i have to start my history essay.
um, right. okay, so tennis is fast becoming the bane of my existence. i love it when there's no pressure and i'm playing really well, and i hate it when it starts to get serious and i have to play for real and play hard. like today, i knew before i even got there that i was going to do really bad[ly] -- and yes, i most certainly did. my backhand is non-existent, my serve was really off today, my second serve [ or lack of ] was always long or too soft, and well. my forehand was okay. and i lost to this girl who kept bashing away at everything i hit her, and bashing away very accurately. i think all her shots were a foot or less from the outside lines. i think i was really bad. i think i should give up tennis. i think a lot.
and monday's tryouts. how fun, how fun, how fun. * sigh * Friday, March 09, 2001
so i heard they got pinned. oooooooohhhhhhh yeaaaa. did he pin her something something? oooooooohhhhhhhhh oooooh. i don't know the rest. i'd like to see the play but i had this makeup tennis lesson scheduled tonight and there wasn't any other time. oooooh yeeaaaa. then john gets up in the back of the chem room and starts dancing and singing and it was rather odd and amusing. uuuhhhhh huuuuhh. going steady! goin steady! goin steady! it wont last. not a chance. i have these pics. i want to post. on that page. at my site. yea and this whole. blog is sup. posed to be typed. to the tune. of that really. odd song from. bye bye birdie. with the girls. with really scratchy voices. maybe someone will tape it and then i can watch it at home. does anyone want to come to my house to watch bye bye birdie? oh well. bye bye....bye....birdie....bye.

fun, fun fun. so we had this meeting after school for tennis today, and i've found out that yes -- most athletes are pretty stupid. not like track and cross-country, because those aren't really sports. but all those upperclassmen tennis guys, the really stupid ones [ the word i would probably use is "dense" ] probably have the combined IQ of my knee. don't tell them i said that. and well, they were all making fun of people and saying "if you don't play tennis, just leave, right now, go". the coach is pretty stupid too -- what, if you were on the team last year, you don't have to try out? i guess i shouldn't expect too much out of people like this. now i understand the "dumb jock" stereotype.
and anyway, i think i might take down my picture gallery. i'll just slowly make it until it has at least fifty pictures, and then i'll put it up -- there have to be some that people like. i spent so much time on each individual page for each picture, too. man. and yes, "crazy for this girl" -- some idiots can't tell the acoustic version from the real version. i must've listened to maybe fifty different files of the real one with "acoustic" in the title, and so. it's retarded. the acoustic one is the z100 one, i think, and it has this weird accordion thing in the beginning. sounds like a european restaurant. ellen, you should move to holmdel.
hey everyone, well i visited derek's site and it decided not to work. there's always an error or a picture doesn't load or something. your site is broken derek. unless my computer is screwed up. i dunno well it was boring today. i got home and i started reading all these blogs. and i wondered to myself, "why can't my life be as interesting as theirs, i wanna do track(not really though), i wanna bomb threat at my school(well that wouldn't be really fun)." i need something to spice up my life. any suggestions? well napster closes down in a day or two or so i read in this blog. i don't know where i'm gonna get all my songs now!! you're right derek.... my mp3 player is gonna be useless and i just got it too! erg! i'll find a way.......hopefully. or u nice ppl can just send me some songs =). alrighty well i'm gonna start my downloading marathon. ttyl buh byez
guess what everybody? today was the first day of spring track... it was really fun. sometimes i love track/running. i usually hate it. but today i really liked it. probably because i've been running and i am somewhat physically fit at the moment. but it was soo nice to be back with all the cross country girls whom i haven't run with in months.. just running with a group of girls was nice, actually. i think i have a runner's high right now, so don't mind me if this sounds really weird or anything. how did everyone else's first day of sports go?
i'm pretty upset about napster. ashley folchetti told me today it had already shut down, but thankfully, i got home today and it was still up and running. and i downloaded the "acoustic" version of crazy for this girl, and..well..it was the same as the regular version. so that was a disappointment. oh yeah, and after school today, i had to put up these stupid class ring posters with all these extremely cheesy phrases on them. like this one had a picture of a hand with a school ring on it and the ring was all chained to the hand and locked on with a padlock, and this little caption that says: "don't worry, it's insured." or something along those lines. and there's this other one with this kid in an ice cube, and the caption says: "there are better ways to preserve high school memories" or something. ugh, i hate those posters so much. and everyone thinks that class rings are being sold by our class, and that we're making money from them, which we aren't. grrr...i think my runner's high is gone now. and dude, that really really sucks about your school. but at least they caught the person before anything..happened.
hola! i never want to do work again. ah well ... i have sixteen days left of school until spring break. less, i think, b/c senior cut day is coming up (wow I just spelled it "comming" and then erased it) and also i have this random day off. so during spring break i can find out where i got into college!!! this is just the most fun year ever! ah, it's not so bad, except my english class, which is seven minutes longer than all of my other classes and makes me so bored i just want to jump out the window. well all i'm really doing right now is procrastinating from reading my physics ... but that thing about ellen's school is really scary :-(!
once again, i will say that my school is screwed up. incredibly and extremely screwed up. for a moment today i was actually scared of going to school tomorrow..should i be scared of going to school? probably not. so in 4th period or so, my friend comes up to me and says, "um..my friend just told me that her friend is saying he's going to bring in a bomb and gun to school tomorrow." i figured it was just some stupid rumor..i thought it would just be a scare like last week...but then throughout the day i kept hearing the same thing from other people and teachers. of course, all of my teachers refused to go tell the administration for a really long time - um, yes they have no common sense. i mean, in the past week there have been two freakin shootings where everyone dismissed threats as a joke. my french class was pretty much really mad...my teacher said, "oh well." for a moment some people were considering staying home tomorrow...but then someone did tell, the police came, took the kid, and charges are being filed or whatever.
ugh..these days everything is just really messed up. everything. including @home and the pictures derek put up - i look really messed up in all of them. thats messed up too. gee, i'm in a really optomistic mood, aren't i? Wednesday, March 07, 2001
no, it's "wreak". and yes, that storm sure smelled. i downloaded the acoustic version of nine days' "absolutely (story of a girl)", and it really sounds like "..i absolutely love her.. when she smells." i was laughing for a while over that one. and i've been [ getting steph to ] downloading all the rare acoustic versions of my favorite songs -- napster's closing in two days! at least, that's what i saw on yahoo news or something. they don't say anything in the main chatroom about it, so. and today i added nine more pictures to my site, making that a grand total of what -- thirteen pictures, wow. they take so long to make. and nos christine says that she looks "absolutely horrid" in all of the ones with her, well. i don't know, my website is getting annoying now. and i'm kind of worrying about tennis -- should i do it or not. will i suck. will i suck very badly. will i. i want a vacation.
hmm.. that "storm" seemed to reek a lot of havoc. [is that spelled right? it doesn't look right.. doh.] anyway.. yeah. we had school yesterday. that was fun. especially the part about waiting for the bus for twenty or so minutes. Oh yeah. ;)
i didn't really do anything productive and interesting today, except maybe for trying to download all these songs for a certain someone *ahem* derek *ahem*. yes, that took up a lot of time. mainly because i have a lot of trouble dealing with computers and machines. it is very sad. and i learned today that 'acoustic' is spelled with one 'c.' yes, i am a GENIUS. it took me quite a while to figure that out. meanwhile, i was wasting precious time searching for 'accoustic' songs. go me! [there were actually a few songs that were 'accoustic'... i guess i'm not the only weirdo out here..] yeah, so that was my afternoon. it's going to be one of my last afternoons of freedom this school year.. spring sports start tomorrow. yay! hehe. can't you feel the excitement in the air??? ;) yes, i think i'm done now. bye bye all.
so. i wake up this morning at 6:42, approximately 13 minutes before my bus is supposed to come. and so at 6:50 i'm standing by my door waiting for my bus after 8 minutes of getting out of bed, brushing my teeth and all that good stuff...and eating! i didn't even make my lunch... anyway, i'm standing there at 650. and then it's 700. and then it's 705. and then it's 710. and, well, i'm still standing there by the door waiting for the bus that never came. and i look out, and i thought i saw tire tracks on my driveway, since i get a van that actually comes up my driveway. so i decided to go outside and check it out, to make sure i didn't miss the bus or anything. yeah, so i didn't realize my driveway was covered in ice that actually only looks like snow, so i almost broke my neck. that was fun. then i walked back inside and my dad just came downstairs and was like, "you're still here??" so, i turned on the tv to channel 12 news and looked at the scrolling list of school closings. lo and behold...Central Regional HS District...2 hour delay...Farmingdale...2 hour delay...Freehold Regional HS District...2 hour delay...Howell Twp Schools...2 hour delay. yes. i had a two hour delay. but of course i didn't know that, even after i checked online last night at 1100 and they hadn't said anything. so naturally i was pissed for wasting all that precious sleep time in the morning. but then i got over it and watched tv until....now. yeah. i watched adventures with marykate and ashley. then watched Two of A Kind with Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen...again. then i watched Superman, Adventures of Lois and Clark. and now ER is on. what a great morning. and besides that, i got to make my lunch after all. so. yeah, my bus isn't coming for another 45 minutes. and it seems like all you people have a full day today, since there's no one online but victor and paige, and zi...and all my school ppl of course. lucky us. yay freehold.
So i got up yesterday and checked the radio to see if there was a delayed opening in my school. I didn't think i heard my school (i was half-asleep) so i got up to take a shower and what not. After grabbing some food, i went out to wait for my bus....it never came. Then i hear from some middle schoolers came out to wait for their bus but quickly went home because one of their moms said there was a delayed opening. When i got back home tho, i got a call that said there was NO delayed opening so my mom had to drive to school. There i learned that apparently, the people in charge had ordered a delayed opening but then decided to cancel it WITHOUT telling the bus companies. So the bus companies still thought there was a delay. Ok so to fix the mess, they decided to have a delayed opening for the kids who took a bus while the rest of the students *should* still be in school. And to fix the havoc wreaked upon attendence, they decided to go "attendence will not be taken until the last period of the day," and "please accept students into class with or without a pass." The chaos that followed was rather amusing. People were just strolling in at their leisure...Eugene and Ellen decided not to go to school until 10. Also, people were just walking around the halls and as some ppl got to school, others were leaving b/c attendence wasn't to be taken until last period. Ok i think im gonna end my illegal blog from school here and go do my history essay.
Tuesday, March 06, 2001
and what did i do today. so i came home and it was snowing, and i just decided for no reason to take that disposable camera with the broken flash and go outside and take pictures. i took like two of them in my neighborhood, and then i walked over to the back of the shopping center and took pictures of different machine things. like those meters on the side of the buildings, signs that said "no stopping or standing", a dumpster, this electricity box, and so. anyway, i wonder how they'll turn out. i took a picture of my microwave too. that one might not come out, though.
yeah, so that was a pretty bad call by the new jersey people yesterday. what was it, like a declared state of emergency or something? i don't think i saw snow on the roads at all. maybe there was ice. and today, it was snowing the whole day, and well -- it should've been another snow day. but i guess not having to go past june fifteenth or whenever-it-is is a good thing. even though a snow day would've been nice. and now i'm already looking into summer things and other activities. i think it's part of my "applying myself" project whatever thing -- i have to start working hard. i wonder if i should do tennis. it doesn't seem to fit into my future plans. and well, i want to do some kind of design summer program or maybe get a summer job. * sigh *
umm ok. i remember yesterday talking to steph online and i said we were waiting for "the call" about school. i had no idea there was a song called "the call" and i had no idea anyone else was calling it "the call" and that you were all singing it. so that's really weird. hmm...must be a glitch in the Matrix...
yeah. and i thought of bsb when steph said call also. actually, she said it at the retreat, "i'm gonna wait for the call" and i thought of bsb then too. yes. i love the backstreet boys. i'm going to marry them. ahem. so, i'm really hungry. and i really don't have anything to say at the moment, but i was extremely bored and didn't know what to do, so i came here. oh yeah, i've never seen gladiator either. so i decided to skip that whole part derek wrote about it...i don't like spoilers.
yeah. today was pretty gay. it never once stopped snowing, yet we had school. there was a grand total of three flakes yesterday and we had a snow day. some blizzard. the whole half inch out there. though i thought it was pretty interesting when i noticed my entire lawn had frozen over and was covered in a sheet of thin ice. actually, i think it makes more sense to say, "thin sheet of ice." but anyway, that was cool. it made my day. waiting for the bus, on the other hand, didn't.
hey, we were singing "the call" at the retreat... haha, we are SO cool. go backstreet! BOO YAH! ;)
you know what happened today? i asked grace a question and she helped me answer it and she felt good for helping me and i felt good for helping her feel good and feeling good is good. yay! yeah, so that probably confused everyone, but that's okay. bottom line: grace and i feel good. yay! =) ANYWHO .. cheetos are yummy. mm... even when they're really stale. okay, so maybe not that yummy. but they are pretty yummy when you're really hungry. haha .. that sounds funny. :P now i have "the call" stuck in my head..."listen baby i'm sorry, just wanna tell you don't worry, i will be late, don't stay up and wait for meeee....." that's one cool song. [hm.. i'm thinking i might have mixed up the lyrics there.. oh well] i need to stop talking about the backstreet boys. sorry guys =) you know what's fun? walking through snow. it makes such a nice crunchy sound. yes, i know, i am weird. but it does. however, the novelty wears off after trudging through it for about five minutes. i have a very short attention span. this is turning into a very weird and semi-boring blog. maybe i should stop.. hehe. okay, i'll go now. maybe i'll come back later when i have something interesting to blog about. bye .... =) oh, i just remembered.. something very awkward happened after school today. so a bunch of people [myself included] were talking to mr. touma after school. all of a sudden alyssa points out that mr. touma and john coyle are wearing, like, the exact same thing. i start cracking up and alyssa won't let me tell him why. so now he probably thinks i'm a mean person who likes to laugh at other people. oh well.... it was funny though. =) okay, now i'm really going. bye!
hey, i thought of BSB when steph said that too! ok...so some difficulties with my page, but i thik all the little screws and nuts and bolts and screwdrivers and...hammers and wrenches and....ok i'm not good with tools...but anyway, it's pretty much worked out, and I added a few more pictures to Al's section so just keep checkin back every so often over the next few days cuz I'll be adding pictures until the novelty wears off- wow that was a long sentence- ok, that's all. buh bye.
let me tell you about the call that changed my destiny ...
actually there was no call that changed my destiny, it's just that i was reading some old post where stephanie put "the call" in quotes so of course i thought of les bsb. (je me sens de parler en francais. mais je ne suis pas trop bien ... at it ...nevermind.) anyway, i'm at school with no work to do and nothing to do and nothing to ... do ... so i was thinking of playing with my site a little but i was too lazy to dl the ftp program and save it in my file and everything like that. so i decided to come here and blog instead. grr, there's so much more snow today than yesterday, and i really want to go sledding, but here i am stuck in school instead. maybe i'll go after school? but ... i dunno. and i've never seen gladiator :-( oh, if you want to know a couple of things i learned during retreat, they're 1. derek whines a lot 2. ellen is the loudest girl ever 3. don't listen to ghost stories 4. don't have james tell the ghost stories that you heard b/c he'll tell them retarded 5. ice cream and cole slaw simply don't go together. oh, and 6. i have no milk. all right ... i should stop doing illegal things on my school computers and just go.

i just watched the behind the music on vanilla ice. man, he had a tough life. and did you know that he has this new hardcore album coming out? and that he made a remix of ice ice baby with korn? i love behind the music. it's so interesting and dramatic. "his music career was over forever. or was it? yes, it was." okay, that's from snl, but still.
on a more serious note, there was another school shooting. in california. this freshman killed two other kids and wounded a bunch of other people. people said he was smiling while he was doing it, and that he looked sadistic and evil. why are people so horrible? can you believe i've actually had nightmares about school shootings at holmdel? wow..i'm really depressed now. but anyway, bohemian rhapsody is so cool, of course. at allison's party, during dinner, my table dared me to go up and dance to it by myself, and i almost did it. and then i didn't. i'm not THAT outgoing. and back to music, you guys should download something by the get up kids. like "mass pike." or "action & action." actually, all their songs are good, but i'm trying to think of good introductory ones. i always try to get people to listen to them, but so far only carly has listened. and she likes them! so you all will too.
Yeah! Bohemian Rhapsody!! I was spending my day singing it in front of my comp while I did history homework. ok not really, but i need to practice some more if i want to do something with some other people for this special thing which you are not going to know about because it might not happen and then we would be terribly embarrassed. yea so i hope we don't have school tomorrow. it just seems that after all this hype about the storm, we better get a snow day. there were supposed to be 30-40 mph winds right? i just checked my nifty little Weatherbug on my computer and it had the winds at 0 mph at Raritan HS. if nothing happens, then i hope those weathermen/women feel really debased and ashamed and embarrassed. i'm so mean. yea.
FINALLY, done updating my page. http://www.geocities.com/doiderduh. I'm pretty sure that's the right link, whatever. And I actually did some tests for SAT's, it's just so sad. BLAH. I wonder what it's like to hate someone. I don't think I've ever really hated someone, except for like one person. But still, I wonder what it's like to really really really hate someone with a passion, enough to want to hurt them really bad. More than I'd like to hurt people I hate. DOo Doo DOo...so just visit my page, ok?
hi everyone, i'm back. guess what i'm listening to? bohemian rhapsody!!!!! YEAH!! "mama mia, mama mia, mama mia let him go..." this is the funniest song. boo yah. :)
i like 'gladiator.' i should get the video or DVD or something. it is very latin related. hahaha. i've noticed it only takes me about ten seconds [of blogging] before i start talking about latin. i am so weird. and dorky. yay! hmm..it'd be nice if there wasn't any school tomorrow. except i would actually want to do something with people. i sort of wanted to do 'movie club' today.. but i guess it never happened. i probably should have tried harder to organize something.... man, i am really bad at that. hm. i need to work on my organization skills. i did nothing today. i spent, like, half an hour just laying on the couch in my family room and staring at the ceiling. of course i was thinking about stuff, but i was not being very productive. darn. oh well... at least i got to make up for the weekend, sleep-wise. ok, i guess i'm done. bye bye everyone..
look, it's snowing now. so i was watching "gladiator" last night -- it was such a sad movie. i hate it when people get killed. like all of maximus's friends, his family, his little servant guy, proximo. those people who you actually get to know a little and like, it's so sad when they get killed. anyway, it was a really good movie. i especially liked those little segments of film spliced in with the fast-moving clouds or with the wind blowing through the field. anyway. those were cool.
i just slept for about three hours. it was fun. and now it looks like it's snowing, and it looks like it'll be a big big blizzard and we won't have school tomorrow! okay, not really. you can't really tell. i have this history thing that i have to check over. but hm, that's probably the only homework i have. homework is stinky. i never do it at home if i don't have to. and since everyone's making a list of things they learned, i'll do it too. let's see. a) showers are bad if they face each other. i came out of the shower in the morning, and all the freshmen guys were standing around in the bathroom yelling at each other. and then there was this other time where i heard them all screaming things like "don't look at me!" and et cetera. and what kind of architect puts showers facing each other?! b) never try to do "whose line is it anyway" in front of other people for the first time with your friends. the three-headed [ or actually, five ] monster one was a total failure. i don't think we could've sang a song with it. and ellen, good job on insulting that little kid. the cheerleading one was pretty good, though -- except for what i read today about how, yeah. c) snow-tubing is disgusting and not fun. the whole bottom of that thing was like a big hay manure pile, eew. and at the bottom of each slope-track-thing there was a big puddle of, as norman puts it, "scummy water". don't claw at the snow to try to slow yourself down, either. d) don't go to sleep before lights out, because you might wake up with naked guys in front of your bed. that was, well -- i have no idea what really happened. they were just there. e) oh, and don't put a whole huge glob chocolate pudding in your mouth and then start laughing. f) and i don't know what else. i think i'll go make a links page for my site. please please, oh please, no school tomorrow..
hello everybody, well it's a dull day, i don't even know why there is a snow day not that i don't like snow days but in order to have snow days, there's one thing that is required. SNOW!! there seems to be absolutely none on the ground right now. what a waste of a snow day as connie said b4. well the retreat was fun. i was yelling at you derek cause i didn't wanna go first into the scummy water. ewww. it was nasty. not something i would call an adrenaline rush but it was still fun. o wow, i sound really critical right now. ok i'll stop, gotta catch up on some work. ttyl buh byez
no school! yay! *sigh* i was so happy when i got "the call." i was literally screaming with joy. i would have been jumping, but i was a little too tired. and i just found out that my latin teacher rescheduled the test for wednesday if we didn't have school monday.... so i don't have to study! yay! [at least i think that's what she said.. maybe i should ask some more latin peoples..] anyway, today is a good day. i slept until 11 and it felt nice. very extrememly wonderfully nice. ahhh.. i LOVE snow days.
improv was .. interesting. hilarious, too. i especially liked the arm thing with the cheerleading. you guys rock! =) i have lost my train of thought. la la la... hm. i want to do something fun. any ideas? ok homies, i'm out. gotta bounce, peace y'all. [ya like mah ghetto speak, yo? yeeeea, werd up.] :)
Yes. No school today. Even though i'm thinking it was somewhat of a waste of a snow day. because we only get four built in, and if some reason, we go over that, i will shoot someone in the butt. anyway, i didn't find out school was closed until so late last night, stupid school system. I had to know early, cuz, well, i had to decide whether or not i should do my hw. and, i'm having a really hard time typing. i keep spelling everything wrong, not that you'd be able to see me now, but yes. snow camp, was...fun. i think. i'm not really sure. it seemed somewhat uneventful, but that's ok. i usually come back with a feeling of like, wow! but i think i was too exhausted this time. anyway. yes, I, like ellen, also learned many things at snow camp. 1) i will never put my arms around someone so much shorter than me when doing improve for fear of...ahem, hurting them. 2) don't let grace tell you scary stories at night. especially scary stories about cabins when you happen to be sleeping in one. 3) "tips on how to avoid rape" 4) don't play basketball for four hours straight unless you know you're physically capable of doing it, which i'm not. it's excruciatingly painful. 5) the freshmen boys are very cool. yes, it's true, i mean it, from the bottom of my heart... 6) don't leave your cd player in the car for 2 days...the batteries will freeze and will no longer work. 7) don't put on ellie's shirt, unless it's too big for her. cuz then it will be too small for you. 8) talent shows actually require some degree of talent, which our improv group did not have.
yeap, it was all good. ok, i'm sore. and i'm bored. you know what? i should've taken more pictures at the retreat. i took like, two. and i still have 6 left, and i don't know what to do with them. i've had this camera since before christmas....oh well. yes, i finally blogged after several weeks of not blogging. go me. bye!
and look, i'm back too. i don't know what to say now, though. um, norman and ellie were all yelling at me when we were snow-tubing, which is a disgusting and lame form of recreation. i had a cabin full of loud freshmen. and my improv act didn't really get off the ground. oh well. hm. i'm feeling tired. okay, nevermind -- i'll be back later.
I am happy. There is no school tomorrow. I was kinda worried at first too, b/c the snow didn't seem to be sticking and i had this interview project due tomorrow....or today. It's a group project and my group was planning on doing it all today. But hearing how we probly weren't gonna have school, we decided not to meet. So time goes on and its like 7:30 and theres not much snow on the groud. So i was like "uh....yeah...maybe we should get that project done." It still woulda been ok except for the fact that no one could really meet anymore. So i came up with this plan to have the person ask the question through speakerphone so itll *seem* like hes there. then i go to call the next person for the next interview question and in the end itll be like everyone was present at the time of the interview. Everything seemed like it would be fine then, so i started the interview. My interviewee was my grandma and she couldn't speak english so i had my mom translate. It wasn't until then did i realize that my mom can't really speak english that well either...and then i couldn't get the full meaning of what my grandma was saying with my chinese...so we stopped the interview and spend the next hour or so writing down answers to the questions. In the end i just had my grandma say whatever she wanted and i just translated to what suited my purposes...i was like "just say whatever u want as long as u keep saying stuff." I was real annoyed too...my school system acted all indecisive and didn't close school until like 11:30....even with a statewide emergency situation. How weird. Otherwise i coulda done the project for real tomorrow...er...today.
yo, sup mah dawgs. *ghetto hand slap thingy* yes, i am too cool. =)
well snow camp...hm. i discovered many things. shall i make a list? ok. 1) i am more immature than the junior high girls. score. 2) my voice cracks a lot in the morning. 3) i will never never never again do any form of stand up or improv comedy. and don't have someone shorter than you to do that hand thingy they do in "whose line.." because when they clap, they will clap your.......yes. 4) "we're dynamite, we're dynamite, we're rick tick tick tick boom! dynamite. boom boom dynamite" "_____is so hot, you're gonna make that shot" my cheerleading side is quite horrible. 5) tips on how to avoid rape. yes, im sure there are more, but i happen to be kind of brain dead at this moment. i have this weird dazed/spaced out feeling where i know i'm not acting like myself. or anything like it. but, to close things up..snow camp was really fun..i wish i could have talked more to a few people, but it was fun. i give two thumbs up. super! alright, i'm out..i should leave before i lose all of myself. Sunday, March 04, 2001
YAY! no school! whooopee! *little dance* i think i'll sleep until 12 tomorrow. oh goodness. i can't wait. oh i got pictures back..it's so cool seeing everyone dressed up and everything. i just realized that i have beautiful friends. and i'm not just saying that cuz you guys are all my friends. seriously, all my friends are beautiful people. just look at these pictures. yeah. anyway, i'm gonna go and do something 'productive'. ha, yeah right. peace out. i'm gonna bounce? (i'm practicing my ebonics)
oh michelle! you are quite the man's lady! or however you say it. and people make fun of others to make up for their own insecurities. i heard/read that somewhere. don't listen to them, michelle! they're just a bunch of silly boys. with cooties. ew, cooties. :P
snow camp was fun. yay! i hope there's no school tomorrow. i REALLY REALLY hope that there is no school tomorrow. really. hmmm..i have nothing to say. so i guess i'll go. bye everyone! Saturday, March 03, 2001
i am soooooo borrrreeeedddddddd!!!!! i need to go out and stock up on food and rent some movies- i can't wait til Meet the Parents comes out on video- I went to Alex's house w/ eric and I felt so....overpowered by the guys...i just couldn't handle all that manly manliness...and they made fun of how we girls can never go to the bathroom alone and how we talk about really stupid stuff during lunch...i felt like I was being ganged up on...just so sad, so sad
I feel so lonely. am i the only one not at snow camp? this blog is so empty. i can hear my echo: BLOG?!. Echo: BLOOOOOGG?!! it's a theme of doubleness, also found in Nathaniel Hawthorne's short story, "My Kinsman, Major Molineux." i changed the theme of my website. the old one was somewhere along the lines of "fruity" and "um yea." the new one is "cool" and hopefully pretty high on the crazometer. do you want to be an agent?

caitlin, you are so cool. cub scouts and mufasa in one blog. amazing. and you're becoming so cultivated too. with the reading and the journal and whatnot. wooooow. hehe =)
i got pictures back! they're pretty good.... i have this really funny one of derek and caitlin dancing. caitlin has this nice big smile on her face and then you look at derek who looks absolutely disgusted with something. it is actually quite hilarious. hehehe. and in every picture i have of alex, he looks like a devil or something cuz his eyes are red. it's really freaky. everyone was so pissy today!! what is up with that? i think the whole school has PMS or something... *sigh* come on people! [that was very hufnagel-esque..] cheer up! the whole world is not going to come to an end just because of science league.. or whatever you're stressing out over. i can't say that i've been in a good mood all day though. i feel like i'm drowning. like i'm in a sea of.. . oh, i don't know. it's kind of like the suffocated feeling. eergh. i don't want to study for math.... blargh. but, i have to. my average is an 89. yeah, yeah, i know. it's pretty high. but it's so close to an A and you know. it's the overachiever in me. i can't help myself. okay, i guess i'll go study now. uuugh. yeah, i'm leaving. bye bye..
hey now! what's with all this negative energy? chem league sounds pretty...harsh. don't worry michelle - you didn't make me mad at you today (i know that's been on your mind). or anytime, now that i think about it. umm, richard, your irregular polygon theory is intriguing. i think they call it a circle of life because of the whole life cycle thing, like in the lion king: the lions eat the antelope, the antelope eat the grass - when the lions die, they become the grass...well, not really, but i think that's what mufasa said.
hmm..what did i want to say? i know there was something. i have a journal now. i really like it. and i'm reading this book too. this cool old book. so cheer up everyone, peace out cub scouts!
Ok it took me like 20 minutes to log onto here...today pretty much sucked a big ass- derek, you're right, this whole freaking SL thing is just screwed up, but to just clear things up, I had no idea you didn't know there was a test, I only didn't tell you because I thought you already knew and you would freak out and start studying for like 10 hours or something. CUz yea, it's happened before, and that kind of thing really annoys me...I wasn't trying to eliminate "competition" or anything-which by the way, it's a total joke, it doesn't even mean anything. And then yea...so I probably made a million people mad at me today. I can't really find myself caring too much, but I guess I feel a tiny bit guilty. Whatever. My life really sucks.
Hey, we were talking about circles before english today because that's what our math project was on. and suddenly i had a thought about that "circle of life" thing. people say a circle is the only thing that has no end, but if you really think about it, all closed polygons have no end. if you gave someone a triangle he wouldn't be able to tell you where it ended or where it began. if you gave someone an irregular polygon he/she wouldn't be able to either. so why do they call it a "circle" of life? using circles implies that life is smooth and perfect, but life is never like that. it always has a few bumps, so it instead should be called the "dodecagon of life" or "irregular polygon" of life. right? just a thought. I wish they would hurry up and put up the tennis nets at school.
an "a class" blog. fifty-four dollar lunch. cheerleading pictures. you guys are so um, interesting. you know what would be cool? pictures of the fifty-four dollar lunch -- in a cheerleading outfit. yeah, anyway. is "fromage" cheese? i remember it was that cheese yogurt stuff that supposedly all those french people ate everyday as a dessert. well. the snails were good.
what a fun week. [ to be interpreted as a sarcastic remark. ] especially yesterday and today, when i found out about science league and how the test-off was today. yeah, so. i decided to not take it and just quit the thing because a) everyone is so nasty about it when it comes to that and other school competition things -- it's like "yeah, i'll keep it a secret", b) i couldn't possibly know anything without studying, and c) it's kind of stupid. chemistry is boring. i don't want to be a chemist. i think i'm going to keep on trying to get a model UN thing started. i want to kick the crap out of other schools and -- well, i'll talk about it some other time.
amazing! hi norman, hi steeny. welcome to the "A" class blog. its the in-crowd of blogger; the one place that is able to satisfy all your blogging needs. ok, i feel gay now. ANYWAYS...it never ceases to amaze me of how many blogs pop up nowadays. and i am here once again, joining all the blogging fun..because you know, thats the cool thing to do. but yes, i just came back from school..kind of uneventful and blah-ish. i guess you heard from dave about the ghettoness lately? teachers in drug rings? bomb scare? right. oo such controversy! at least this week is almost over. but but but, retreat is coming up! yes. i mean, yes!!
ellie i want to see your cheerleading pictures. i really really really want to see them........i bet you look so nice!! =P oh, and everyone getting in shape for spring sports..wow, i admire you. since lacrosse is coming NEXT year, i have given up my little "get in shape" schedule. i am proud to say that i now exert myself oh...2 hours a week. ugh...i'm getting really bleh ish. but i want to try tae bo!! [i..dunno why] oh, i'm finally going on my first class trip in highschool! its really gay, but its a trip! we're seeing a play form of cyrano de bergerac [sp?] in..uh..new brunswick..and then eating at le fromagerie. my friends and i have calculated that the play costs approximately $2, transportation about $4, so the lunch is $54. haha..is it bad to say that i'm going just so that i can eat a good lunch? oh wells. alrights, i'm out. i'm going to go..do...something productive...mm hm. michelle, i like plumb. i wonder if they ever got a new recording contract.
haha, poor norman ... oh, and ... hi. I'm at school and for some reason the blogging impulse overcame me. so I resisted blogging at my site again (b/c I have been quite often these past couple days) and decided to join in on the fun here. wow, I really have nothing interesting to say.
although a friend of mine did hit a parked car today ... it was really the parked car person's fault b/c they weren't supposed to be in the senior parking lot, but then again, it was my friend who was driving the moving vehicle that hit the unmoving one. well, you know what I mean. I feel so unsports-ly, I can't run at all :-( well, I can run, but not for long distances or longer than, say, four minutes at a time :-( then again I suppose my forte was never exactly sports so I have nothing to complain about, I'm just keeping up the tradition. although I *did* get a bunch of cheerleading pictures back yesterday!!! thank goodness I hadn't seen them until after the end of the season. it was so weird actually seeing myself in a cheerleading outfit doing cheers (well, still-life cheers) that I think I would've quit if I'd seen them before ... |
