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.
squareroot der.summ archives: 11/01/2000 - 11/30/2000 12/01/2000 - 12/31/2000 01/01/2001 - 01/31/2001 02/01/2001 - 02/28/2001 03/01/2001 - 03/31/2001 04/01/2001 - 04/30/2001 05/01/2001 - 05/31/2001 06/01/2001 - 06/30/2001 07/01/2001 - 07/31/2001 08/01/2001 - 08/31/2001 09/01/2001 - 09/30/2001 10/01/2001 - 10/31/2001 11/01/2001 - 11/30/2001 12/01/2001 - 12/31/2001 01/01/2002 - 01/31/2002 02/01/2002 - 02/28/2002 03/01/2002 - 03/31/2002 04/01/2002 - 04/30/2002 05/01/2002 - 05/31/2002 06/01/2002 - 06/30/2002 07/01/2002 - 07/31/2002 08/01/2002 - 08/31/2002 09/01/2002 - 09/30/2002 10/01/2002 - 10/31/2002 11/01/2002 - 11/30/2002 12/01/2002 - 12/31/2002 01/01/2003 - 01/31/2003 02/01/2003 - 02/28/2003 03/01/2003 - 03/31/2003 04/01/2003 - 04/30/2003 05/01/2003 - 05/31/2003 06/01/2003 - 06/30/2003 07/01/2003 - 07/31/2003 08/01/2003 - 08/31/2003 09/01/2003 - 09/30/2003 10/01/2003 - 10/31/2003 11/01/2003 - 11/30/2003 12/01/2003 - 12/31/2003 03/01/2004 - 03/31/2004 05/01/2004 - 05/31/2004

it's very cold in here. i think i'm missing out on, like, most of life because of work and hope road recording (oh ... hope road ... um ... probably nobody on this blog understands what i'm talking about ... but i'm too cold to type out an explanation). so, um, i'm going to go now.
Sunday, July 29, 2001
woh, it's almost twenty-four hours since the last blog. which was mine. which i think was the longest blog i've blogged in a while. which .. okay, nevermind. i slept too much today.
Saturday, July 28, 2001
da da da. okay, so i just got back from new york with eileen about half an hour ago. and there're no new messages in my inbox .. that's kind of stinky. we passed by this basketball thing today at around west third street and sixth avenue and there was this announcer and when this guy threw a hard pass to someone who wasn't there anymore, the guy said "_____ sees dead people!" which struck me as really funny and such a creative thing to say, but he probably heard it somewhere. you get it, right? a pass to no one, seeing dead people, allusion to "the sixth sense" .. okay. i kind of want to get shoes, but i'm not sure which store. they're all kind of expensive, but i think i might end up getting shoes which would cost around fifty dollars, whether in new york or somewhere around here.
so i was bargaining all today. on thirty-fourth street around h&m and gap and there, i saw a guy with a watch thing and i just decided out of nowhere to buy one -- it was a stupid decision -- and so i picked one that looked like the fossil watch with the digital seconds in the back of a normal watch with hands, and the dialogue pretty much went like this: "you want a watch, sir?" "um .. how much are they?" "they all different prices, you pick one and i tell you." "uh, what about this one .." "thirty dollars." "is ten dollars okay .. ?" "no .. but for you, twenty-five." "ten dollars .." "twenty, that's my final offer." "ten dollars?" ".. okay, fine." it was this middle-aged black guy, so you can imagine the scene. eileen was just next to me with this amused expression. i should've looked at the watch a little more closely, though .. i don't know why i seemed to be in a rush. but it says "nike" on behind the um, liquid crystal -- is that what they call it -- display thing with the seconds and the metal band is really long. it's one of those .. oh, i don't know how to describe it. metal links and it snaps with this clasp kind of thing, you have to slip your hand in and then snap it tight. except in this case, it doesn't go tight. just a little bit less loose. there was this market in soho -- no wait, actually it's noho -- where we went today .. it's pretty amusing the stuff you can find there. throughout different intervals in the afternoon, i had desires to buy a bongo drum, a pair of maracas made from gourds, a vintage coca-cola poster and/or little tin, a peruvian pipe-thing, a guitar and amp, an internal cell phone antenna, crepes with chocolate (mmm .. that was a thought that came back again and again), abercrombie and j.crew clothes, and i can't seem to remember what else. i don't know if the clothes were really from the clothing companies .. they seemed like it, and the guy told me that they were the stuff from previous years. hm. and there seems to be a lot more stuff that i can't remember i wanted. eileen wanted to get sunglasses, and we were in this little stand-booth-tent-thing where it said "one for ten dollars, two for fifteen dollars, three for twenty dollars" .. i told her to get two. but then she couldn't find a second one, so i picked a pair out for myself. even though i wear glasses. i wonder when i'll ever wear sunglasses. anyway, then i told her to bargain with the indian guy, and she wouldn't do it, so i told the guy "two for twelve dollars" and he scrunched up his face and did something with his eyes that looked like he was struggling inside with himself .. i just looked at him until he said "okay" and gave them to us. i took three little cup samples of dunkin donuts coolata and eileen told me that was mean, and then there was a t.g.i. fridays truck giving out something called "fruit blenders" which looked like some kind of fruit slush, and they turned out to have alcohol in them. which i didn't know at first. i had a little of one and immediately tasted the faint alcohol, and i saw the sign and it said "there's liquor inside!" and then eileen took my cup and just drank all the rest. later when we passed it again, she took an orange one and when i told her she shouldn't have, she said "this one doesn't have alcohol in it." i looked at the sign for the orange blender and it said "there's vodka in it!" if she'd gotten drunk, i don't know what i would've done. my mom got drunk once after drinking two little cupfuls of rum. we were in the airport at st. martin, and she said "i'm feeling sleepy" and then fell asleep a little bit after that. there was a fruit smoothie thing stand that was three dollars for a cup, and when i asked the guy and he told me and i made a face .. he said "okay, i give you double". which meant that i would drink a cup and he would refill it, so i took it. even though now i don't think i should've. i had two one-dollar bills and a twenty .. it was a little embarrassing borrowing money from eileen. but then again, she had quite a bit of the fruit thing, so. i'm not going to pay her back, haha. um, i missed my bus at eight because i waited outside the bus station with her until her mom came. driving in new york must be such a pain. i think i've started to develop a habit of buying honey-roasted peanuts from street vendors. since the next bus after eight was at ten, i rode the subway to penn station and barely made the train at eight thirty-seven. the next one was at nine thirty-seven. and there was a big fight on the train between parents of little kids and these teenager-college type kids. i think the younger people said something bad about the kids who were really extremely loud and annoying, and then the parents got angry and said something like "don't say bad things about my kids" and i think there was the f-word somewhere in there and then this girl got up and got in the face of this dad and said stuff with the f-word and the dad said some things with a lot of other curses and then she got louder and then this lady said some mean things with curses and the younger people left. and the kids were all there listening to their parents curse. fun. i think my dad's going to record "o brother, where art thou" from dvd onto video. i wonder what kind of record-proof thing they have. and i'm listening to "i am a man of constant sorrow" right now. anyway. yeah, um. okay, i think i'll go to sleep soon. Friday, July 27, 2001
oh, thanks mickel! hehe, i just downloaded it, and that's the one i was thinking of. actually, right after i wrote that blog, i read somebody's profile and the song was in it. yup.. it's a good song. the only funny part is when she sings "everywhere" she kind of goes "everywhere-UH." but it's kind of nice.. i like it. hehe :)
the title of this blog just reminded me of.. something.. i remember i read/saw something somewhere about little fat floating fairies that tell this guy what to do. okay.. i hope i didn't hallucinate that. haha.. i think it was from a show. or a book. but there was some guy .. with floating fairies. yes. i think i am going insane. :o)
uh, right .. let's all go see some ghetto performers. train and matchbox twenty sound like a good concert, though. and so i'm about to go out now, i haven't blogged in a while, maybe i'll do it later, okay. does anyone know if anything's happening in new york tomorrow?
hahaha let's go see the destiny's child and nelly and who ever else was on it concert. that should be good. i really like destiny's child, but their survivor cd is really really bad. don't get it. but yea, matchbox 20 and train should be really good too. hmmmmm
hey steph is the song like "and you're everywhere to me, and when i close my eyes it's u i see...i'm not alone" it's like poppy and she has a mandy-moorish voice? cuz i downloaded it a few days ago, it's good! by Michelle Branch, some new artist...yup...i'm so bored...oh yes i am - derek, did you come up with this blog title? it's so fruity and cotton-candyish!
i've been a bad, bad girl, i've been careless with a delicate man...something something... what i need is a good defense, 'cause i'm feeling like a cri-mi-na-al....
that's such a cool song. my cousin was obsessed with that song last year.. or was it two years ago? hum. hey, there's this song that i like, but i don't know the name and i don't know the singer.. yeah. it goes something like "and you're *everywhere* i go.. something something.." right.. does anyone know what i'm talking about? hehe.. :o) ooh.. let's see matchbox twenty. that sounds so cool.. expensive, but cool. :P la la la ... hey, i downloaded those ivy songs.. the girl's voice isn't what i would call "sweet".. more like airy. and she has a really heavy foreign accent. yup. :) this is a boring blog. =P okay, i go now. bye!
alrighty guys, I'm checking out ticketmaster...destiny's child, eve, and nelly are gonna be here August 8th and lawn seats are available for 23 bucks but i think it really comes out to be 30 whenu add up all the stuff or maybe not, i have no idea- and also matchbox 20 and train are gonna be here august 21! i really really wanna see that, so if i can pool together like at least 4 people we should definitely see it! ok if you wanna pay like 50 bucks we can get almost front row destiny's child tickets...and...lemme see...lawn is 23 bucks - matchbox 20 is 27 bucks for lawn seats...and they have no seats available for anything higher i don't think...oh yea btw they charge like almost 10 bucks for "convenience" so just at 10 to whatever nmbers i put up - so we should do this! it'll be fun! yea...i'm sposed to be at work right now...oh well...
oh wait, you're right -- ivy really is stupid. and so i'm going to change the title of the blog now to uh, what you said. but actually .. i need a description to go with it. so you have to write that, too. i can't believe i'm up so early.
um ... i only came to give my contribution for a title ... "actually ... digimon means digital monster ..." my brother's away message. but hey looks like you got one of your own.

you...guys.. are.. seeing.. blink 182..?!!! that is SOO cool. i've never ever ever been to a concert like that before. the first concert i went to was that new york philharmonic thing... and yes. that's it. it's so sad.. i want to go to a concert!!! take me, somebody. :o)
and blink 182 is not stupid.. i was watching their video diary on mtv and they are really cool..in that funny/goofball-ish way. so bleh :P teeny pink butterfly puff fairies? um, right. that's.. cute. :P perhaps i should not criticize, because i cannot think of anything better. but teeny pink butterfly puff fairies? it sounds so.. pink. and puffy. like.. a little girl's room. or care bears. hee hee.. that also sounds like it should be said. hee hee :) i'm going to camp in three days! and then i'm going to california right after that! on a plane by myself! exciting, eh? it's not often i get to do things by myself. haha..i'm so sheltered. oh well... :op i got to drive today.. only in my neighborhood, though.. that was fun. i'm not as inept at it as i had previously thought. not that i'm good.. i just don't suck. haha..right. i think it was the atmosphere and the situation of the driving school car that made me feel.. sucky. yeah, it was all psychological. yes.. :P i think there was a scene in breakfast at tiffany's/roman holiday (i don't remember which.. i get my audrey hepburn movies confused. wait, i think it might have been breakfast at tiffany's..hm, anyways.) where the lovers finally confess their feelings in the rain. most romantic.. and i think audrey hepburn was holding a cat. hum..my memory is failing me. okay. i am out.. good night to you all. sleep tight, and don't let the bed-bugs bite.
i just went outside with my brother and we listened to a new found glory from pnc - they were surprisingly loud for a not-clear night. damn, i wish i was there!! i'm so jealous jess/michelle. and oh yeah, blink is cool too. they're not stupid. ivy is stupid. ooh maybe they're playing now.
everyone go to www.thebandivy.com and in the "band" section, download their songs .. ! well, okay, there's only three of them. i like "undertow" -- it was on "roswell" once, i think. so was "worry about you", but that's not there for you to download. find it somewhere else. i want to get the cd, but i probably won't .. instead, i'll order ninety-nine-cent ones from half.com, and i don't want to tell you what they are until i get them. i might not even order them today.
blink has got to be the stupidest punk band out there. well, probably not, since they're so popular .. they've probably done some smart things. but they just seem so idiotic. i want to see barenaked ladies in concert. and ivy .. i'm planning to in september. their tour schedule isn't finalized, but they said they'll be in new york in september for a show or two. and so this morning, i got off the six train at eighty-sixth and lexington and it was pouring outside. i didn't have an umbrella and when i walked up the stairs into the rain i was kind of disoriented and walked a few blocks back and forth until i figured out that lexington must be between third and fifth and there's park and madison in between. something like that. so i was soaking wet when i got to the met, and there's sheila with her umbrella. we stood there for a while before our classes got there. haha, somehow it reminded me of some scene in some movie .. which is really vague, i know. but it seemed like one of those parts in a romantic movie at the end where the two people meet outside in the rain and hug each other and then the end credits start rolling. well, not really. i need to go eat dinner.
dudeeee me and mickle are going to blink 182 tonight! woohoo i'm excited hehe. just wanted to share my excitement with the rest of you, half of which probably don't care. wait, let me rephrase that. three-quarters of which probably don't care. more than that. but okay. hehe yay!!!
well, then. give me a funny title. i just came from the met and it was raining before and i need to read up on more art history and all the different stylistic periods and whatnot. i should check if my class is starting now.
the whole fun of getting a new blog title is seeing what it is and thinking it's funny. of course, neither this one or the last one was really that funny, so i guess the new blog titles have failed recently. i'm beginning to hate my job, because it's impossible, or not impossible, but a fighting-a-losing-battle type of thing. maybe i'll quit early. i mean, quit sooner than expected. i think i'll give in a two weeks' notice on monday.
i am. so tired. Wednesday, July 25, 2001
lah lah.
um, this is a confusing name now. it's the name of connie's blog! ah, whatever. at least it's not a fat week anymore. :o)
okay, so i changed the name of the blog. thirty dollars is stilll a little bit too much. i think the most i would pay is .. twenty-five. well, maybe thirty. and oh right, i forgot to tell you what size. i'm going to leave now and come back later. good-bye.
hah! i told you that the title was bad.. except i don't have any good ideas. hm, nevermind then. ;P
i saw legally blonde today with my mom. it was really good! you should all go see it.. it's not *as* stupid as you might think. go see it! hehe.. :o) yeah, i don't think my mom would ever have (or ever will) agree to letting me roam around new york city by myself.. you guys have so much freedom. oh, and derek, i checked AE for you, and the shorts you wanted were "on sale" for $29.99.. so i didn't get them. even if they were $25, i wouldn't have known your size.. so it was kind of a pointless mission. :) hm, anyway, i have to go now. i'm off to my doom.. it is WAY too hot out to be playing field hockey.. oh well. bye!
woohoo, i'm done again. and if you want the name changed, you give me a name. and a description. i'm thinking that i want to buy some photography books, and learn how to use the manual settings on my camera. and how to develop film and what-have-you. and then what else, i want to read architecture books. okay, my thought isn't very coherent right now .. i think i'll go back to class.
blogger is *definitely* not cool with netscape. killed my blog.
anyway, what i was going to say was, you guys are lucky, my parents would never have let me roam nyc by myself when i was an incoming junior. then again they probably wouldn't let me roam nyc alone now. then again if i did i'd probably get lost. that's why i sit at a desk. and change it, the week is no longer fat. change it change it change it.
that's quite an interesting mission you've set up for yourself, derek. hmm, it's 12 o clock. and i wake up at 6. i get no sleep. except on the train, where i fall over and onto people's shoulders. so today i went to the normal part of the met, and we did this kind of rush through the entire museum and see all the "masterpieces." we'd all prepared reports on specific pieces and so we all got to tell each other about the art. it was cool, because random people walking by were like, woah, those kids know what they're talking about. and um, wow, they had this frank lloyd wright room that was amazing. i wish we could have spent more time there. and this middle eastern indoor garden room thing with these huge comfy sofas and really pretty arabic lettering on the walls. and this chinese rock garden was really neat too. i think those were my three favorite things. anyway, so then i went by myself to 42nd and 2nd ave to the ford foundation building and took an entire roll of film for this architecture project i have. and i went inside and asked for floor plans but they couldn't give them to me, so i don't know what i'll do about that. derek, i didn't see you at all today. i feel bad that you don't like pratt.. i kind of feel like it's my fault, since i was the one who told you about it. but i'm having a good time, so.. anyway. haha, today sheila and i ended up sitting in the same train car coming into the city, except i think we were both asleep so we didn't notice until we got there. um, and that's funny to me because.. well, it's ironic. because everytime we plan on meeting and try really hard to find each other, and so we finally gave up and decided just to meet at pratt, and then we turned up in the same car.
wow, wasn't it hot today? at cross country, we got to stay in the woods the whole time, which was fun because we got to go on all these trails we don't normally run on. and um, that's it.ugh, tomorrow i'm not going to have time for lunch again because i have to go to grand central station to drop off film at this place that i heard does really nice black and white prints with white borders. Tuesday, July 24, 2001
sha la la la. i like starting on weird sound phrases. my last blog sounded like i was laughing in the beginning, but anyway. um, so today i had class until twelve .. it was art history in the morning at the cloisters, which is this big medieval building up north -- the last stop for the m-four bus -- where the met keeps most of their medieval art. it was okay, i guess. the guide was really sarcastic, which was really funny sometimes, the things she said. i saw a bunch of romanesque and gothic architecture, which i learned a bit about, and then there were stained-glass windows and stone effigies and frescoes and pillars with monkeys and wooden statues .. i think they're called something other than "statues". i have to look that up. anyway, then i got on a bus to go downtown and this asian girl in my class -- actually, the only asian girl in my class -- for some reason got on with me and we rode the bus together for like forty-five minutes. down from what, around one hundred ninetieth street. i got off around ninety-sixth street because i couldn't stand riding the bus for so long .. i ate lunch in central park. oh, and this girl lives in brooklyn and she goes not to an art school and she's going to be a senior and she takes humanities classes and wanted to have a portfolio for college and she might go to an art college and she agrees that the program isn't as great as she thought it would be. and she doesn't know of any places to go in new york city. basically, that's what i learned from talking to her for .. forty-five minutes. i rode the six train down to fifty-ninth street and got off and walked into a levis store and then into a gap store -- they had this t-shirt on a dummy mannequin thing and but they were sold out and while i was in the check-out line with two four-ninety-nine shirts this old rich-looking lady said something like "my, what a nice t-shirt color" and touched the shirt on the table. um, okay. i went to niketown and bought a shirt with my store credit, of which i have around seventeen dollars left -- anyone want to buy something at niketown, you can give me cash and i'll give you store credit, if it's around thirty dollars i'll even return the shirt i got today, anyone please? -- and then went to two gap stores looking for the t-shirt. the one at fifth and fifty-fourth was big, so i didn't go in .. they were probably sold-out. it's a really nice glass building, though. i'll have to go in sometime. the one at madison and fifty-fourth -- which is a block away, really close to the other one -- had what i wanted, so. the salesman guy was really um, enthusiastic about his work. and now i have a mission: to find the addresses and locations of every gap store in new york city and go to them collecting business cards.
oh, the nsync cd came out today. i passed by mtv in times square and all these stupid girls were screaming in front of the building with their n sync gear and singing the songs behind the police blockade .. i say "stupid" because nsync wasn't even scheduled to show up today there. mm.
aaw, that's so sad, derek... :( you can probably catch them next time though. don't worry :)
dude, jess, you know a lot of random people's birthdays. hahaha.. so after i came back from the library today and ate lunch, i went to target to pick up some stuff for my brother. i was supposed to get some deoderant, but, unfortunately, i did not know what kind he wanted. so, i was standing in the deoderant aisle of target for ten minutes, smelling all these different men's deoderants. it was quite and interesting experience. by the end, i was so overwhelmed from the variety (and partially from smelling too many deodorants) that i gave up and went with something called "fresh___" (i forget the whole name). i figured it's good when guys smell fresh, right? hmm, yes. and.. that was my deodorant story of the day. :o) alrighties, back to "a prayer for owen meany".. it's a pretty good book. you should all pick it up. bye! Monday, July 23, 2001
wah ha haha ha hoo hoo .. *crying* i picked up a copy of this new york guide today at grand central station -- which, by the way, happens to have this amazingly touching photo gallery going on, called "m-i-l-k" for "moments of intimacy laughter and kinship" -- and inside it i was reading about ivy's new album "long distance" -- which i really really want to get because of the songs from it i've heard that are really good -- and it says that they were in new york in july and i missed a show that was supposed to be a more "intimate acoustic" performance at some little club and then they were in a sam goody store for another performance and .. sigh. apparently, they'll be back in september. i have to catch them that time. i like all the music i've heard from them. they might be one of my favorite bands. like michelle says, i seem to go for the sweet voices. ahhhh, i can't believe i missed them. it was such a good opportunity ..
hey ellie, i think you talked to my mom when you were first at initia, right? anyway, that's what she told me... small world. hey derek, my birthday's in march too. march 6th. as is ann's brother, christine's brother, serena's brother, rick perosi, mrs raymond of indian hill, shaq, and a bunch of other people that you don't know. neil's birthday is march 7th i think or 5th or 3rd. i'm sure it's one of those. hehe. christina's hair is awesome! it's so.. red, but a really cool red. maybe i should do something to my hair, it's really boring. then again, like steph, i probably won't. oh well.
ellie, your hair looks really cool. and i still have to see what this "carmelized" thing looks like. and christina's hair looks really cool, too. i feel like dying my hair. haha, not that i would ever do it. but if i did ( and i won't ), i would try that loreal or whatever stuff with the comb thingy. it looks so cool! haha, actually, i'd probably get it professionally done.. i don't trust myself that much. and my brother wants to dye his hair blue. the hair which he is slowly growing into a mullet. okay, not really, but it's starting to look that way. *sigh*...
yo, i saw the coolest trailer yesterday.. for "spiderman"! i want to see it sooo badly. but it's coming out next year. i can't believe they're already marketing it.. i think they might still be making it. oh well. it still looks really really cool. and tobey (or is it toby?) maguire is spiderman. he is so cute. haha.. =P um, i think i have to go apply myself now. to.. something. okay, goodbye, goodbye.
okay, so anyway .. now i'm at this little "kiosk" thing at pratt on the second floor because i'm taking a break and we've been painting these weird color squares and since i'm done early he told me to go "read a book" but instead i'm here. and i should probably go back soon -- no one's online and this is boring. someone come to new york tomorrow at noon.
wow, your guys' lives ... really suck. ok, i'm just kidding. um, apologies to all the people i don't know on this blog, it was just a joke, don't hate me.
anyway, CONNIE YOU CARAMELIZED YOUR HAIR!!??!?!?!??! (i highlighted my hair recently.) so many people are like dying their hair this summer. ok that's basically the only thing i had to comment on for the last two weeks of blogs that i didn't read, except that i happen to like that winnie the pooh hundred days quote a lot, and it was on my last website, so don't make fun of it. ok, i got back from canada saturday night and ... canada is boring. well ... it's not that bad. well ... yes it is. ok, so it's pretty but boring, and we spent a lot of time driving around in a silver ford minivan which was exactly like about 200 other silver ford minivans that were all rented from the airports. we had some nice hotels and saw moose and pikas (which are exactly like squirrels) and mountain goats and bears and people in cowboy hats (at calgary which for some reason is like a cowboy CITY, really, they were advertising the "calgary stampede" which sadly we didn't get to go to) and lakes and mountains and rivers and waterfalls. for like an entire week. the bears were cool though ... we only saw little ones and they were really cute. and, i'm at work. i originally got hired by initia, which is the subsidiary company of yorktel, and then they moved me to yorktel because initia had nothing to do for me, and now initia wants me back because they have stuff for me to do, but so does yorktel, so they're kind of fighting over me, it feels cool!!! i think connie is making more money than me though.

oh, and i think i should read the news more often. apparently, some findings suggest that um, pork chops with a certain parasite may have killed mozart. you can read it here ..
mm. i don't even remember what the folleto said and if we were affected by the changes .. maybe it would be a good thing to know. but anyway, i still have to take driving lessons, ugh. and i just woke up again from another nap -- my head hurts, my teeth hurt. i didn't even go to church today because i overslept and my mom isn't home and i forgot to get a ride and then my head was hurting and my teeth hurt .. oh, right. i went to the dentist yesterday, and she decides that i need braces on my bottom teeth because apparently there's this one tooth that's not exactly straight with the others and then she wants to align the bottom a little better with the top. and then so the one year of braces she told me two years ago in eighth grade has gone .. way overtime. i'm guessing it's going to be another six months to a year -- but that's just me being hopeful. i wish i had fake teeth. or a better dentist .. i wonder if she's doing a competent job and she's been doing the right thing all along, or maybe she totally screwed up somewhere and hasn't told me. okay.
um, so i don't know if i'm riding the bus tomorrow. i didn't have a bus schedule before, but apparently now i know the times from checking online. and then i have to figure out about fares and or one-week passes and how i'm going to get to the building from the port authority bus station. i'll do it later and call you .. caitlin, yes, that's who i'm speaking to. and sheila, you went to nyack without me?! i doubt you even read this, but oh well. i was a little annoyed. i want to buy a crappy car and then supe it up. that would be cool, except i don't know how. i'm planning to learn sometime. along with sign language and being ambidextrous and how to draw and paint and photoshop and programming languages and math and vocab words. i think there's more. i have to make a list of the things i want to do .. there's no "march clump", is there? i think i'm probably the only person i know that was born in march. i used to live in texas .. i didn't wear a cowboy hat, though. i wonder if i even had an accent. it's all so long ago now. and then i want to go to hawaii now too, except i don't think i would want to with my parents. sometimes i wish i had a cool sibling to do things with.
oooh, a civic! that's so cool.. i don't think i'll be getting a car any time soon. you are a lucky duck, caitlin. :)
hey, i need to see pictures of this asian tyson beckford character. i'm hearing quite a lot about him.. hehehe.. :P oh, and to all of you people that were born this week: happy birthday! why do all the birthdays come in massive clumps? i think there's a clump in february and a clump in july. there might be some other clumps, but i don't remember them now. i'm really bad with birthdays.. blah blah blah.. why is everyone taking SAT classes?!?! it makes me feel stupidly unprepared. aaaagh. and most of the people taking those classes are already smarter than me.. therefore.. agh. i guess i'm pretty much screwed. the one thing i am doing it going through this psat prep book thing. and it's not even *that* good. i need to learn more vocabulary. ah, i just finished eating a caesar salad. yummy.. and it was ORIGINAL dressing, not the weird light stuff. calories, fat, and all the trimmings. yessss.. :P and now i'm thirsty. but i'm afraid to drink because of that..uh.. other experience. to drink, or not to drink? *sigh* what a dilemma. that reminds me of the ultra-condensed thing for "hamlet" that i read on that website thing. it went something like this: Hamlet: whine whine whine whine.. to be or not to be.. dies. hahahahaha.. i thought that was pretty funny. okay, i am done now. bye bye.
wow, it took me an insanely long time to finish reading all the blogs i missed. wow.
but, hi all of you guys! the one day that i was home is now over; i'm leaving for villanova in about 15 minutes. i heard you see dead bodies at this forum thingy. *shudder* i don't do too well around dead bodies. then again, does anybody? hawaii was incredible. i finally saw the developed pictures and...yeah, there are a lot of gay/stupid pictures that we took. such as, "hey eugene! i'm standing inside a crater (a ..small one?)! take a picture of me!!!" so theres a pic of a huge (in comparison to me) volcanic crater thingy and a little tiny spec inside that is me. i have a picture of me in a hole. wowee. i also got a henna tattoo thats supposed to stay on for a month. its a little design thingy of a hibiscus flower and some stuff around it. i can't really see it...its on the back of my shoulder. but, since my trip it has faded and now it looks like i have a weird and very intricate birthmark. nyack music camp was too much fun. oh, and i also learned a lot of stuff. i had to add that in...but, yeah. many cool cool people. i talked a lot to the counselors (18 19 20 somethings) for some reason. one of them was an asian texan who wore a cowboy hat!!! that was weird. he looked like an asian tyson beckford. we calculated that i sang ( we all ahd to sing) more in one day than eating. on certain days, i sang more than i slept. woh. haha.. ok, i have to leave now...like, LEAVE. i'll miss all of you guys again..i'll see you in a couple weeks! =) bye for now.
so i was watching the news last night and they were like, "big changes for subway riders, stay tuned for the details" and i was like, yo that's me! it's exciting. but derek and i already read the folleto about it, so i think it's all good. um.. derek are you and sheila taking the bus next week? oh, happy birthday to the thirty or so people grace keeps posting on here. oh! i think my parents might get me a civic! like a '98 EX or something. two door because they think it's less likely that i'll drive a lot of people around that way. they don't really want me giving people rides, at least not right away. which i understand - it's so distracting for me to drive with lots of people in the car. i get my license in a month and a half. i remember when i was like, i get my license in half a year! time flies, doesn't it? and i'm feeling really dumb right now. everyone i know is going to sat class. i had to reteach myself trig to work out these angles for a floor plan i had to do. why can't people just build rooms with right angles? and so basically, i realized that i've forgotten so much stuff from last year. and i have a bad bad feeling about the psats. hm, i think i'm kind of in a bad mood in general. because of a bunch of stupid stupid things. yuck.
oh.. and i saw snatch. what are you guys talking about? i mean, it was okay.. but not amazingly funny or anything. the plot reminded me of some cartoon. wow, just a bunch of bad coincidences and ironic plot twists. i don't think i laughed out loud once. maybe when the fat guy was getting out of the car. Saturday, July 21, 2001
hey guys, it's been like...over a month since i last blogged but i decided to do it so derek will get his lazy butt up and get me some lyrics. So....yea....i'm working, but then i have to start taking SAT classes i think like three days a week which means i work until...4:30 or something like that and then i leave work early (less money i can earn!) to drive an hour or so to classes while eating dinner in the car and then i get home around 10....and then get up at 6:30 the next day...ugh, not looking forward to this at all- and then my parents are all on my back about summer reading and cleaning my room yada yada yada . but on a lighter note, i'm goin rafting with janet and her boyzies tomorrow, yay! ok i'm done now, have a nice day.

mm, okay then. i don't know why, but really short blogs annoy me. i think it's because people are at the computer and have time to write a little something but they don't .. something like that. anyway, so i'm really tired from this whole day and i just came back from steph's house where we watched "lock stock and two smoking barrels" and part of "wayne's world two" and the second one was really stupid. we stopped it maybe not even halfway, but after the funny part with the cantonese dad and the fight. i'll probably look at this tomorrow and wonder why i'm writing so badly. but the first movie was really good .. i don't know whether i think it was better or "snatch" was better. probably "snatch" -- but only because it seemed better-made. they had more money to do it. my md is still working. i've been listening to it during classes sometimes and in between classes and more than once people've asked me what's that little thing in my hand. it's .. a remote control. and then today i was asleep for a while on the train in the morning, but apparently it was really late because for some reason it was taking a long time to get into the station .. i woke up a few times. haha .. one of the times when i woke up, caitlin was about to fall over. i think i just went back to sleep. hm. i didn't see sheila at all today. i kind of wanted to go to nyack tomorrow, to music camp -- mm. oh well.
i broke my mp3 player!!!!!!! ahhhhg@!!!!!!! actually i'm just exagerating...i just accidently snapped little piece off of it but still!!! my mp3 player!! agh!!!!!~!~~.................

i love how whenever i get online everyone else seems to be getting offline. maybe they all hate me. *sniff* or maybe it's just a funny coincidence. =)
anywho.. wow. that is an interesting experience, norman. not what i would call a good sign, you know what i mean? hehe.. maybe you should get more sleep. i'm not exactly what you would call a city person, either. it's too smelly and crowded and dirty and whatnot for my liking. but.. it's still really nice sometimes. like if you go there once in a while.. you know what'd be cool? living in a nice, big loft in the city. like those huge apartments you always see on sitcoms set in cities. why do people on television always have such nice apartments? when i grow up, i want a nice apartment/house. either would be fine..hehe. i want it to be nicely decorated and look all pretty. =) yes, that would be nice. okay, that was my second blog of the day. this is good... i'm cutting down. this boredom thing is really killing me, though. haha.. i can deal with it. i'm tough! ;)
i kind of wanted to see nickel creek in new york today. they're playing right now -- or i mean, since six and they have another performance i don't know when -- at this bottom line nightclub somewhere downtown. they call it a "nightclub" .. but i think it's just one of those clubs where they serve drinks to people sitting at round four-person tables. like the one in "ally mcbeal", which i've never seen before in my life. anyway, my writing seems kind of dead right now. i'm tired. the mexican restaurant was really dark and had these weird green and red lamps that were covered with screen-like things so they shone only up and down and through the holes and then there were skulls all over the walls .. brr. my phone rang today around six. too bad no one was there to hear its rendition of "look at us now" by sarina paris. it sounded kind of gay, though .. i should change the song to something i like better. something without a syncopated melody. and i should stop using the word "gay" as an insulting adjective -- someone might hear me and get angry and beat me up. like if i said it around the guy at the art store the other day .. he was really extremely um, gay-acting. caitlin and sheila, you guys have to see him sometime. oh, and i found a watch on the street .. it's kind of scuffed-up and has a broken cover, but it's pretty good. i'm thinking it was maybe forty dollars retail or more. timex i-something watch, has all these modes like timer and chronograph and time and can keep two separate times and um. i wonder if i should've left it there, lying in the middle of the street. i like used book stores. oh, and today i walked into a comic book store and read all these cool comics. like there're some american artists -- i think they call them "pencilers" -- who have the japanese manga influence and their art is really good. i think i might be turning into a comic fanboy. mm, maybe not.
norman, norman, norman.. what's with all these people fainting lately? so um, i can't believe you slept till eleven. i wake up at six every morning. but i don't really mind. except today coming home, i was by myself and i kept falling asleep and i almost missed my stop. but new york is awesome. the classes are cool too and all, but i love soho. and i am not a city person. mmm, we ate mexican for lunch today, and derek thought the restaurant was scary.
ouch norm, you sure you weren't on anything at the time? hehe just kidding... i LOVE disney songs!!! hahaha last summer at camp we always sang disney everywhere, it drove all the ra's crazy, it was so funny.. so finally they decided that if they couldn't beat us, they should join us. so they started singing along with us. yes, i think that was kind of pointless. but oh well, buhbye!
hmm......interesting day. i wake up at 11 and decide to bike to anthony's house and when i get there, i ring his doorbell and feel really light headed and i faint on his doorstep. with my face against his front door....i have nooo clue how long i've been standing there and where i even was once i regained consciousness. i think its because of the lack of sleep i had....well anywayz i bike back home and i hit a curb by accident and fall flat on my face into the pavement...now i'm bleeding in 5 different spots....maybe i'm not as healthy as i think. either that or i have a lack of coordination....*pondering* well anywayz.....my day was great.....how was everyone else's?
steph ~ of COURSE you forget to mention the part where we picked on you =) hehe. it's only because we love you! after srikar disappeared ("i wonder if he got arrested"), it started to lightning. hehe. and every time that happened, poor steph would look petrified (okay, exaggeration) and ask "did you see that?" and after awhile, as soon as we saw the flashes, alex and i would ask steph immediately..."did you SEE that?!?" hahahaa =)
but it was enlightening, even if we got eaten alive. oh! new experience last night! i don't think i've ever walked, much less run, with my friends on the highway...hehehe.. =). oh, and srikar was being loud in the car...singing disney songs.. =). jess ~ i know exactly what you mean. kid: "it's vacation!! SUMMER vacation! that means we should relax! c'mon!" asian parent: "NO. time to get ahead. do sat practice, play flute, play piano, go to library....don't get on internet till you are DONE!!!" of course, that's somewhat of an exaggeration...but still. i feel for ya jess, i go through the same thing. hehe. okay, i'm out. byebye!
how do you carmelize hair? is it like..highlighting? it sounds cool, anyways. hehe.. :)
i went to see the new york philharmonic at pnc last night (with grace, alex,and srikar).. we got there a half hour late and the seating was first-come-first-serve, so we had to sit on the lawn. but they gave us free lawn chairs.. =) hehe, anyways, the intermission thingy rolls around and srikar is searching frantically for the cd/tshirt- selling boy so he can buy a cd to be autographed. he gets the cd and runs all the way to the stage and hovers around there for a few minutes.. and then he disappears for the rest of the show. it turns out he found that the entire first row was empty, except for two other people.. so he sat there. hahaha.. yeah, and we thought he got arrested or something for bothering the conductor.. ;P at the end of the show, it started to.. lightning? i can't say that. well, there was lightning. haha, yeah. so, it was pretty freaky. ;) and then..it started to drizzle while we were walking back to the car.. and by the time we got back to grace's house we were experiencing some sort of torrential downpour. i thought my dad and i were going to get killed on our way home.. it seemed like we could only see about five feet in front of the car. hoo boy. hum, anyways... that was last night. nothing eventful has happened today. so.. i guess i'm done. over and out.
hmmmm........around 4 AM in the morning....nothing to do....bored.....can't sleep....i just decided to blog. o yea and serena....i'm going to kaplan SAT prep course with michelle(tai). so yea..there we go....anywayz....i took a diagnostic test today at kaplans......3 1/2 hours!! i was about to fall asleep if my proctor wasn't so strict. he literally yelled out the time and stuff. it was a small room too. i dunno why someone has to yell. well no one's on....i have nothing to do tomorrow....waiting for the weekend....and for the weekend after this weekend cuz i might get a cell phone then. yay! finally...well anywayz i'm done for now...talk to ya'll lata...buh byez

yeah steph! i saw that episode of becoming too! that was girl was SO LUCKY. she got EVERYTHING! wow. free stuff is really nice. except she looked a lil ... not like britney in her remake video. it was weird. oh well. guess what. so i rescheduled my road test for 300 the day of the first day of VBS (ok i know there must have been an easier, more coherent way of saying that) and then i called the driving school to schedule my refresher course. and i told them my test was at 300. and they were like, why is it so late?? and i told them i was volunteering at a camp in the mornings that week. and they were like, we can get you home by 830. i was like...oh... so they're coming to pick me up at bright and early 630 that morning so i can drive around and practice k-turning and // parking for an hour and drive on over to eatontown, fail (or luckily pass) my test, drive on back to freehold, register my license (hopefully) and go back to church...all hopefully somtime before 845-900. which i highly highly doubt. so...this could be a problem.
i'm carmelizing my hair on thursday. caramelizing? taming of the shrew is not that bad of a book. that's probably because i've already seen ten things i hate about you. bye now.
okay, derek, i'll lee you aloe.
hum. anyways.. you should lighten up, man. it's probably not that bad.. and even if it is, it sounds pretty funny to me. =) i think the librarian that i help out at shrewsbury is half deaf. haha.. i think she even said so herself. if you try to get her attention, you kind of have to yell. it's quite amusing sometimes.. but sometimes it's not. but most of the time it is. :o) hit me baby, one more time.. that reminds me of this episode of "becoming" that i saw a few weeks ago. this girl 'became' britney spears. she got so much free stuff!! i was so jealous. hehe.. she got a whole counter of make up and nail polish stuff and baskets full of clothes and shoes. and she got to keep the stuff she wore in the video. man! i want free stuff. :oP
haha "baby one more time", derek? you're a funny dude, you know that? haha steph, bet your summary on ordinary people can't beat mine in incoherence... and i think i spelled that wrong. oh well. my parents want me to do all this work... ugh. what's with chinese parents and "you have so much free time in the summer, you can do so much more sat tests, play so much more piano...." etc. boy oh boy exciting stuff.
Monday, July 16, 2001
i'm .. so. tired. lee me aloe. so i've decided that my art teachers aren't actually very good at what they do. my foundation art teacher is this fat old man who also teaches drawing and painting, and today we started work on a color wheel. which is really hard to make. especially when you draw all the colors on the wheel into the middle brown. of course, caitlin and sheila get to make their index card dummies and actually learn how to sketch -- with a model that comes over and teaches them while posing -- and then they actually have a "cool" teacher. or so caitlin says. okay, and then there's my graphic design teacher, who's this old man who seems to be way past his prime. as in, he's a little deaf and computer-illiterate and shows us all these ads from thirty years ago and tells us stupid jokes and wants us to make things on the computer without showing us how. he also doesn't seem to know how to teach very well. it's just him going on and on about something we're not interested in. "look at this company name, it's called 'broccoli' because they make paper, get it? and look, they wrote 'broccoli' in green because broccoli is green." i mean, okay -- it's so stupid. i don't think he'll get any better. i think the highlight of my day was when i discovered i could program the ringer music on my cell phone .. now it plays "baby one more time". mm.
hello hello hello..
well, today was semi-productive. i actually did more sat work. that was fun. and i actually wrote that summary thing on "ordinary people." it is *really* bad. i seem to have lost all my writing skill, if it can be called that.. haha. i also managed to finish recording this md.. that was fun, too. you know, downloading songs can be very fun when you're bored as anything. it was fun day. fun fun silly willy. woo... :) as you can all see, i lead a very exciting and thrilling life. i bet you all wish you were me. ;) i want to see "legally blonde." yeah, i didn't want to see it at first, but i do now. it seems like a good girly movie. hehe.. i also want to see "america's sweethearts." and i'm sure there were other movies, too, but i can't think of them right now. :P sometimes i wish we could still have school, but not the learning/homework/work part of it. i miss seeing everyone everyday. *sigh* .. :) Sunday, July 15, 2001
hey people, I think this blogger thing hates me, I have such bad luck trying to blog. Most people attempt to make websites and like conquer the world and stuff, I just hope I can get this stupid thing to work for me! Yeah, I'm computer illiterate. I haven't talked to all you guys in a long time! I miss you all! I would call but I'm always online so the main line is always used (no cable for me :-( ) anyhow, if anyone wants to call me (yeah right) call 335-1995, no one ever uses that line! So, I went to Soho over the weekend, I would just rejoice if I ever got into NYU! NYC is the best place on earth! I love NYC, i saw this really kewl bag there made outta telephone cords, it was kewl... yeah, I'm rambling, I'm tired, just wanted to see if I could successfully blog... bye
hey, dudes. i saw "final fantasy" yesterday with frank, tim, andrew, eric, and howard. the graphics and stuff were pretty cool, but i don't think the movie had anything to do with those final fantasy games, except the title and computer stuff. and i went swimming at my cousin's house today, but i got out after like 30 minutes cause the water felt like 40 degrees. gahh i have nothing to blog about. "when dinosaurs roamed america" is on right now on the discovery channel. oh i remember an interesting little anecdote. yesterday we went to this metlife place cause my brother won this art competition, and we ended up in this tiny little lecture room. and this thing was run by asians, so you can probably guess what it was like. the judges didn't even come to speak, and the guy who handed out the awards was like, (in chinese) "we had to make 2 firsts and 2 seconds and 2 thirds for this group b/c the art was so good we couldn't decide." and then "we had 3 firsts in this category so we could send more people to the national competition." and my brother's prize for winning his age group was a Snoopy doll and a little certificate with tiny print. i have 7 cousins all under the age of 10 over at my house right now, which is insane.
it's hard not to wonder away. so art homework was easy .. all i had to do was make the outline of circles for a color wheel i'm going to have to make tomorrow. using paints i bought on friday. which i got for forty percent off, whee. anyway, i don't know why i'm here when i'm not exactly in a blogging mood -- ugh, i don't have time to work on my website. i'll be back later.
for all you html people out there...
okay, attempting to make a site, key word "attempting". so anyways, any of you computer geniuses out there... is there any way to take a picture and put it as a background? except i don't want it to tile.. you know, can you use some sort of html command to make the pic fit the comp screen without having 2to change the pic's actual size? if you kno, pleassseeee tell me, i'll love you forever! or tell me if it's even possible...
aaaagh. my head hurts. and i don't know why. :(
hum, anyways, i just got back from dc. it was alright.. we've been there so many times already. so....we went to the zoo to see the pandas. it was amazingly hot and every twenty feet or so they had this huge sprinkler thing that you could stand under. yeah. and then the pandas were really cute.. the keepers coated the insides of these garbage cans for them to "strengthen their foraging skills" or something to that effect.. and the pandas basically came out, knocked the cans over, stuck their heads in the cans and stayed that way for about fifteen minutes. well, it was kind of cute. :P i think the heat was getting to me.. and the fact that there were about a million people there probably didn't help much.. =P hehe, anywho.. we went to, like, five or six different malls. i thought that was sort of weird... yeah. ;) we also ate at this supposedly very famous italian restaurant.. on the menu, they had a list of all the famous people that have been there. haha.. it was pretty impressive. i think they had cyndi lauper.. and al gore.. and some other random celebrities that i do not remember at the moment. the food was pretty good.. very authentic italian.. i felt like i was going to explode afterwards. it was kind of sickening. haha.. right. =) ooh, it sounds like pratt is really fun. that's good... and by the way, how exactly did sheila faint? it's usually not a good thing to faint... hehe :) oh yeah, i saw "kiss of the dragon".. that was an interesting movie.. hahaha.. quite violent, i must say. massive amounts of blood were used for this film. :) yeah, so that was my weekend. hope you had fun with yours. bye! =)
wow, you guys sound like your having fun at pratt.. color wheel football, never heard of that, cool though! and making a model out of index cards.. that's pretty neat/funky. cool stuff though, very cool. so yes, everyone's been making these cool websites, so it has inspired me to attempt my own. which i must say, is going extremely extremely slow.... man, the complications of life, what can i say?
Saturday, July 14, 2001
i um, yeah .. i was pretty tired today too. i overslept and missed basketball. and then i was really out of it at the so-called "picnic" we had at holmdel park today. um, caitlin -- if you see this, call me. i'm going to call you tomorrow anyway about the weekly passes for the train. and hm, i actually want to make a index card model too. it sounds really fun .. well, a little bit. all i have to do is draw a circle divided into parts so i can make a color wheel. color theory is so complicated. there's a grey scale which is a line and then a color wheel which is a circle and you put those together to make a cylinder except then it's not actually a cylinder because they converge into a point at top and bottom (white and black) so it's pointy on both ends and looks like a football fat in the middle but then the distance from the outside to the center axis isn't always the same because of intensity and so it's a lopsided football with yellow further away than purple and since yellow is a lighter color the color wheel in the middle of this three-dimensional shape is also turned on its side with yellow up and purple down and .. yeah. that was all in what, ten minutes. and then the guy was talking about pigment and colors and paint mediums. he asked me a question (like when teachers "interact" with the class during a lecture) and it was "how do you make purple?" i was thinking about the word "make" and thinking that it meant "create" and i was thinking about pigments and how to get those and flowers and rocks and grinding them up to get color .. i was confused. so i said i didn't know. and now everyone probably thinks i'm stupid because red and blue make purple. well -- it should be a good thing if everyone thinks i'm an idiot. it'll be good to be underestimated. my graphic design teacher's this old man who seems to be oblivious to everything .. especially his incredibly stupid jokes that no one laughs at. there's always this awkward silence, or someone laughs at how dumb it is. blatant idiocy is always a funny thing. but so i think i'm expected to create my graphic design assignments on the computer, except i can't really use the programs well and he's not teaching them and um. how do you make something really nice when all you know are basic things with the computer? i don't think it's possible. i'm going to make sketches with colored pencils. okay, this is boring .. i'll be back later.
wow.. i am really tired. i think i can't handle commuting very well.. or running, or something. so far, i've really liked pratt even though we only had one real class. derek and sheila had two real classes i think, but my architecture instructor forgot to show up. so i went home early yesterday. and man, it takes about an hour and thirty minutes to get from pratt to hazlet train station (at least). drawing naked people.. was umm.. actually, fine. it was the first time i'd ever done it. but after like the first drawing, you get used to it. it was really funny watching some of the boys in the room (the model was a naked girl) not knowing what to do - shielding their eyes, tapping pencils, looking around the room at everyone but the model, drawing chairs and tables instead of the model.
so for my one class - i have to make a model person thing (you know those dummy wood models of the human form? it has to look like that) out of index cards, tape, and staples. it's taking quite a while. i better go work on it some more. i've done the chest, waist, hips, and head. so i still have to make arms, legs, shoulders, elbows, knees, hands, feet, neck. ughhhhhh, how do i make the neck?
norman, thats so cute, the 'if you live to be a hundred, i wanna live to be one hundred minus one day!' its winnie the pooh! he is sooo cool. so how has everyone's week? Norman: (i should have \put this with your other message) where are you taking SAT classes? i blogged 2 days ago, cept when i clicke don post/publish, it didn
t show up, so i didn't feel like rewriting it, but now i don't remember what i wanted to say. later daze Friday, July 13, 2001
umm.....i don't appreciate people taking quotes from my profile and making a mockery of my....DEREK! hehe but it was all in good fun. i know i'm kinda slow. but i haven't seen my profile in a while so i didn't know what derek was talking about. anywayz...i luv you too gracee! and o yea i haven't blogged in a while but i saw bbmak on "all my children" for all those soap opera people out there. they sang "still on your side". they were really good, i like how they harmonized it. so i did nothing all day(again). summer's becoming a dud. SAT classes start next week. yes! and the instructor/trainer guy acts too much like Mr. Bird! for those who had them or will have them, you'll see what i mean. and for those who WILL have them for honors precalc....may god have mercy on your souls. =) well i'm not much of a blogger so thats all i have to say for now......bye bye!
oh, and i forgot this from last night:

she was not on "teh" floor, and i so didn't say "why are you on the floor" .. because she wasn't on the floor. i just saw her slouching in a seat with a guy standing over her with his hand behind her head and i was wondering something like "woh, what happened to you" -- it must've shown on my face. or at least the half-amused "what the heck" look, probably. anyway, i got home maybe ten minutes ago. i might be back soon.
hahahaha, that's hilarious. the whole thing, everythign is! the fainting, teh why are you on teh floor, the excel. yes, i'm bored. and i'm going to go because i'm at work too and i shouldnt' be online. esp when everyone can see my computer. bye!
yeah, and sheila told us that when you came over to her car where she had fainted (she had fainted on the train and when she woke up told them to call derek) that you said "... why are you lying on the floor?" !!!!!!! i laughed for quite a while over that one. and then i said "i would've killed him if i was in that situation and he said that to me."
so anyway i'm at work and one of my bosses just came over and i quickly returned to excel. unfortunately nothing was open in excel so i think she's on to me. and it's especially bad because i took off work yesterday to go to new york and they actually kind of needed me for the first time ever yesterday. um ... oops. oh, by the way, i was relocated to a nearby company where they actually needed some help, which is why i actually have work to do now ... Thursday, July 12, 2001
"goregous", hm. i think dave and i had this funny thing about the word "gore" a long time ago. or maybe it was "maul" or "maim" or "bore" or something like that. anyway, you can't plagiarize yourself .. ! i saw what you did, grace -- tsk. haha, i could always go in and edit your blog and well, hm. pratt today was okay. orientation, et cetera, drawing naked people "to get a feel for the flowing lines blah blah" something like that, buying a whole lot of art supplies, getting a pencil box for six dollars and thinking i shouldn't have bought it, so forth. oh .. and sheila made me get called over the public announcement system on the train, "will the passenger by the name of derek tsai please come to the last car" -- and then "medic needed for a sick passenger" with the whole train waiting. haha, she was a celebrity. i think they thought i was her boyfriend or something, it was a recurring feeling. i think i'll go to sleep .. not a blogging moment.
yay! i can't wait to hear how pratt was from caitlin...poor her, she comes from pratt and has to go immediately to xc practice... =) dedicated!
steph, your story scared me enough to make me never bring drinks near a keyboard again...i think my brother would murder me if i split anything on here... dave...honestly? i have no clue why your name was in parentheses...maybe...maybe i thought of you and realized i forgot to type your name! oh geez, i have no clue..i'm sorryyy! jess, shirley has them. =) i have three goregous friends. yesterday i went to the sandy hook beach with alyssa and pete and her mom, her brother, and keira! keira is adorable, i could play with her forever. =) and we listened to a concert at the beach...it was fun. and we brought fried chicken and mashed potatoes with us!! alyssa tried pushing me in the water with jeans on, so i tried throwing her in...then we made a truce and decided to gang up on pete and throw HIM in =)... then we went to alex's house, soaking wet and sandy...haha...then the four of us went to temptations and had ice cream.....ohh yummyy! i had gummy bears as a topping!...except they were frozen by the time i got to them...okay, that's it, i think. of course you could read a longer version of this on my site =) here byebye!
oh yeah steph that happened to me too...i have a blog on my keyboard woes somewhere in derek's archives...
yay! it's fixed, so i have my internet back. I was gone to california for a week, and when i came back my computer wouldn't boot. My mom's co-worker figured out it was the modem and when he took it out, my comp was working fine...except i couldn't go online. Now Dell's next-day-repair should have fixed this really quickly, but um...yada yada yada my modem seemed to have had quite an adventure getting to the local dell technician. So i came on blogger and there was a MILLION blogs. I attempted skimming through them all and i must have dazed out b/c i was reading some of the blogs uh...upside down. Like i was starting at the bottom paragraphs and reading up...yes.
Ok richard, yeah i am going to drew un for gov school next sunday. I hope it'll be cool with interesting people. See i was hoping to live off salad or something along that line b/c people can't really mess up a salad. They are not that hard to make. But to my dismay, i've been told that they apparently can...Oh, and grace why is my name in parenthesis? Ellie i am older than you ;-)
cool steph, i like clicky keyboards, i makes me feel like i'm typing faster. :) grace, who has the flute pix??? i wanna see! how are they? anyone know where to go for driving lessons? serena~ i couldn't find that song on imesh, hm. ellie, you will never be too old to blog. it's one of those ageless fun things that you can do. okay now that sounded extremely corny. oh i'm home by the way. pratt people, have fun and don't be nervous! i need to get a physical. you guys started xc really early. or you probably start this time every year. gymnastics doesn't start until last week of august or the week before that i think. i don't remember. oh well. i need to get a new floor routine choreographed next week, fun stuff dudes. okay so i'm gonna go call some people, cyas! oh yea, grace, what's the addy of your webpage again? i wanna see it! hehe
Wednesday, July 11, 2001
yay! it's fixed! yeah, so i was drinking some iced tea while i was on the computer and i go to grab the mouse and, boom, the can falls over and spills brisk iced tea all over my keyboard. it was quite the shock. i try to clean it up and in the process, i manage to completely confuse everyone that i'm talking to online because i keep pressing wrong keys. and then after all the tea is gone, i realize that my keyboard is leaking. and then, the keys go completely haywire and i can't even type a simple sentence. that was really frustrating. after that happens, the keyboard begins to emit a strange and alarming buzzing noise. for fear of an explosion, i unplug the keyboard, and am forced to get offline, since all i could have done was sit there. *sigh* it was a jarring experience, yes. well, i guess i can't really say that the keyboard got fixed. it's currently sitting on my kitchen counter.. and i don't think it's ever going to get better. *sob* :) right now, i'm using this really clickity keyboard that my dad dug up from the storage room. it makes fairly loud clicky noises when i type. hoo boy... =P
that was my exciting story of the day. i'm sure that you were all absolutely enthralled... right. :) good luck to you pratters! don't be nervous/scared.. it'll only make it worse. hehe.. have fun, dudes. =)
wow, hi. mm .. i'm feeling some anxiety about tomorrow. caitlin, if you see this and i haven't called you yet -- call me. we have to figure out plans for tomorrow. anyway, i don't know why i'm blogging if i can't think of anything to say. i've been downloading songs by letters to cleo, and i really like that girl's voice. i think i might buy the cd. hm, i forget what cds i was going to buy last time from half.com .. okay. this is a pretty pointless blog. people, visit my site and sign the guestbook and then tell me what you think. please?
so i know this is gonna sounds stupid, and incredibly teeny bopper ish, but hey i am one aren't i? i've been listening to this really good song, its called 'love should be a crime' and its by.... well, you'll find out if you dl it... i kno i kno, why am i listening to that? i duno... i heard it somewhere and i dled it and i thought it was really good and i got addicted to it. my favorite part is at the end actually... its
And if you call that love Then all it was Was a pocketful of nothing But a suicidal love If you call that love Then love should be a crime Right...ok.. steph you may know already, seeing as i pointed it out one time. im so jealous of all you people going to nyc everyday. that is gonna be so awesome, instead i am stuck in a classroom learning the SATs for another 5 weeks... im not even sure if its gonna help my score a lot. i hope it does or else ive wasted a perfectly rare summer of my fleeting childhood. these things become more and more precious as time rolls along, and i've only realized that recently. Derek, i really like your website, i like that when you put your mouse over the pictures, it becomes less blurry. I still can't tell what the pictures are of yet. Could you maybe make some of the links work? that would be super coo! um i think thats it for now, talk to you all later
ta-da, i think my new site works. netscape or IE .. i think they should both work. i've laid out what my sections are going to be -- with the help of someone who told me to make a "shoutz outz" page and i almost went nuts -- and so all i have to do now is fill them. it's going to be fun, i hope. i actually like how this is looking. wow, my hair is so long in that big picture .. i look like a girl with short hair. and glasses. tell me what you think about this whole site thing -- i need criticism.
last night, i had this dream that i got mugged. kind of. not exactly mugged, more like...robbed. it was scary. this guy stole my purse. and then he said that it was his! (i know, that doesn't really make sense). and i was so angry because no one believed me that it was mine. and then i think i pulled it out of his hands and ran away.
Tuesday, July 10, 2001
yes derek..my parents recognized you, you should be happy, they only recognize maybe about...11 of my friends. so yes, they told me as soon as they got home.
jess, i know!! hawaiian people are goregous....let's move to hawaii...oh the pictures came in ~ flute pix! =) ellie, there is no way you are too old for this blog. no way. steph, trust me, i know what smile you're talking about. the biiiig dimple smile that's without the teeth. and yes, you definitely look like your mommy =). yuck, i have to get up by 8 tomorrow, sat class has everyone taking the exams together on wednesdays...see you all later! OH! xc practice was great. perfect. i feel so much better, so cleansed =)
uh, i have a funny feeling that i know what "later daze" has to do with, serena. ::groans:: uuuuuuuugh. hee hee =)
yo, practically everyone in hawaii is japanese. it's so weird.. like, every few blocks you find a japanese sightseeing company. one of the things that sticks out in my memory from hawaii is this breakfast place we ate at almost everyday. they had the best pancakes. haha.. yeah, not something you would associate with hawaii. :P people always say i look like my mom, too, grace. i know how it is.. :) you look do look like your mom. and your dad is so funny.. he always has that smile on. hehehe.. =) i'm actually attempting to do some SAT stuff. ::shudders:: i'm not as dedicated as all you kumon, etc. people, though. hehe :) this blog is so random.
wow, i think i'm really pushing the age limit for this blog. i am just too old.
exciting events of my life: got my college netID working, although there's nothing there at the moment (i can't find out my e-mail address yet, but i hope it's something cool. or, as cool as something that is based on your first and last names can be. i hope they don't have "eleanor" in it, just because of spelling problems ... i bet enough people are going to spell "cheung" wrong as it is ...). ordered a cd from cdnow, my first in i think an entire year, and (ellen can make fun of me for this) it's a trance cd ... clubber's guide to ibiza for 2001 if anyone's interested. leaving for canada on saturday morning, i'm not too excited about that. my brother's coming home friday afternoon. our new deck is finished (deck like ... outdoors ... type ... deck ... not ... cards?). my life is just too full ... sorry ... i've never seen grace's mom or had to deal with the exhaustions of a HHS junior's schedule ....
teehee. oh right, grace, we saw your parents at that malaysian restaurant. i wonder if your mom recognized me. and i've never seen your dad, so. i thought the restaurant was pretty good. everything seemed to be spicy, and i drank a lot of water. but i do that anyway at all restaurants. that phrase "a whole nother story" seems like you're inserting the word "whole" into the word "another". like in "snatch" when they used the f-word in just about every sentence and even inserted into the middle of words. or wait, maybe that's what you guys meant. oh and serena, i told you to buy it at sam goody, not the wiz. tell me what "later daze" means. um, if you guys are going to the met during the summer, i'll be in new york a lot and maybe we can meet up in the afternoon one day after getting out of art class. even though supposedly it's an intensive-extensive -- i don't know which -- course and i'll be bogged down with homework probably. i looked at the schedule and it says i have an assignment due every other day. how lovely. i'm going to go take a shower.
i can kind of see the resemblance grace... esp when your mom does your makeup (haha omg i look like an indian!) hehe jk, but yea, you guys do look alike. steph, im sure your driving isn't THAT bad... but we'll see when we get you on the road... teehee. i have to take driving lessons when i get back to the states.. it's a kind of scary thought. hm oh wells. steph and cait~ where do you guys take lessons? i have no idea where to go or what to do, i'm so very clueless. ellen, if you read this, have fun in hawaii! it's gorgeous there isn't it? omgosh, all japanese girls who live in hawaii are gorgeous, my friend mari lives there, she's soooo pretty. man, maybe i should move to hawaii. but then again, i'm not japanese, so no that might not work hehe. serena~ the whole listen to jokes and not understand when people are laughing.. i totally know what you mean! jeez, i thought i knew semi-passable mandarin, but here in taiwan.. i'm so lost when people have conversations. oh wells. it's so funny, whenever we go out and we see an american person, me and my lil bro jon are like "look look american!" just cause it's so rare... we actually played an american search game on a bus one time when we were really bored. see who can spot the most americans during the bus ride. yes those quality taiwan times.. heh. oh and i never saw snatch, i didn't understand serena's description either, so it's okay. grace let's rent it some time :) oh yes, and i'm pretty sure it's "a whole nother story" caitlin... but it definitely does look funny. but "a whole other story" sounds really weird when you say it out. or maybe we're just so used to saying it fast that it just kind of blurs into a whole nother story. hm tough call tough call. oh yea, and everyone who's going, have fun at pratt! wow my foot fell asleep while writing this blog, i think this breaks my longest blog record. but then again, i usually don't write very long blogs. and now i'm just rambling. i leave for new jersey tomorrow morning, taiwan time. yay! see you guys soon!
yo...everyone says i look like my mom...is there THAT big of a resemblance?...i think when my mom and i both get 'decked out' for an occasion we tend to look similar...or yeah, very similar... =) i love my mommy. good night! xc practice...well..tonight, being that it's already the 10th...
Monday, July 09, 2001
Gracee you really look like your mom! After derek told me it was your mom i was able to see the connection. All of 'them people' for lack of a better term, were speaking mandarin. it was really depressing cuz i only understood random things like, 4 cups of cold water, and whenever someone said something funny, i didn't get it... i should learn mandarin. Anyone who watches Snatch, sorry for giving away that little part, but you won't even remember and expect that coming when you watch the movie, I should have bought the DVD at Wiz when derek told me to, cuz i think i will now, but i have to wait to watch it again.
P.S. If i told you guys why i wrote later daze, steph would groan and say ugggggggh, then derek would roll his eyes Later Daze
ooh, three blogs in one day. i must be really bored. :)
thanks for you concern, caitlin. :) oh, it was nothing really. i was just spazzing out and overreacting.. cuz i'm like that. haha.. yes. :P is "a whole nother story" even an expression? i could have sworn it was "a whole other story" .. haha.. a whole nother story. that does sound funny. nother nother nother.. almost as funny as the angry cheese warrior ninjas. did i get that right? it feels like i left out a random word in there. hahaha.. :) wow. you guys are going to pratt soon, eh? that's so exciting. have fun! :0)
awww, steph, what happened? you can't be THAT bad at driving... i love driving, or at least the convenience of it. and i'm getting a little better. aaaaaaahhh, pratt starts this thursday...
okay, here's a random question: when you're expressing rage, surprise, or angst, and you want to type a screaming sort of word, do you write agh (with the letters repeated for emphasis) or ahhh?.. because i write "ahh" and i think that people might think i mean "ah" as in, "ah, lying in my hammock while sipping lemonade is so very relaxing." but the GH thing is too weird and annoying for me, but maybe i should use it anyway because it IS more precise and all. like stephanie wrote "aaaaaagh" in her last blog. i don't know... obsessing over semantics is big fun. do you guys read william safire? i think he calls himself a semanticist or something. he has this weekly article in the new york times magazine called "on words" and it's pretty interesting/amusing. i think maybe i'll read one of his books. but back to um... pratt starting thursday. i am so excited, yay! i went to visit cornell last week. oh my god, it's beautiful. why didn't anyone tell me it's so nice? and they have one of the top architecture departments in the country. except i would need a portfolio of my work to submit, and since i don't take art at school that could be a problem. so that's why i'm doubly excited to be taking classes at pratt. and also, i'll get to see if i really want to be an architect or not. i hope i like it, because i cannot see myself being anything else right now. i agree with gsp that it's mean to make fun of fat people. can't you find something else wrong with them, like their personal hygiene or their personality or the funny way that they walk? something less sensitive, because weight is such a delicate issue. speaking of weight, man am i getting fat. yikes. and if any of you see me, i would REALLY appreciate it if you don't say something like, "wow caitlin, you're right - you are putting on some weight." because it's okay for me to say it, but it's a whole nother story (hahahahaha - what a funny expression - it works when you're speaking, but when you write it out... hahahaha... you see that it's not real words...hahahahaha) um, it's a-whole-nother story when someone else says it to me. wow, that "a whole nother story" thing really cracks me up. is that a real expression, or am i just delusional? because you can't say, "a whole other story" - that just doesn't flow.. wow, i'm having too much fun right now. cross country starts tomorrow.. and i am not a freshman anymore! okay, so i wasn't a freshman last year either. but the novelty still hasn't worn off. and derek, i got you your book. you owe me fifty cents.
aaaaaagh. i feel like crap. crap crap crap crap crap. okay, maybe i'm being a little dramatic, but what i feel is probably somewhere close to crap. ugh. i think i must be mentally challenged when it comes to driving. and.. i think i'm overreacting. aaaargh.
sorry about that, folks. i needed to vent somehow. thanks for listening. :)
1. hi ellen!
2. guidance is so annoying, i've called a million times and no one will pick up..i'm going to call ONE more time...that's it. grr... 3. serena, derk, and steph (and dave wei)...did you guys see my parents at some restaurant?...hm. 4. no derk, serena didn't give anything away, i didn't understand most of her summary. 5. it's mean to make fun of fat people. 6. anyone want to go to the metropolitan museum of art sometime this summer? it'll be like another whole day nyc trip..
hi, ellen. you might not see this, but mm .. haha, we saw "snatch" yesterday at steph's house. i think it might be my favorite movie now. but then again, i haven't seen many. british movies are funny, though. i want to see "reservoir dogs" sometime. and serena, you just gave away so much of the movie for someone who might not've seen the movie. oh well. i think it was a machine gun, though. i just walked past the kitchen and i think my cousin's trying to eat ice cream out of the carton. she's so fat. and um, that "garan lady" called me back this morning and left a message, so i called her back about half-an-hour later and after i explained things to her, she told me that she couldn't do anything because schedules still needed to be fixed and she didn't know how to use the computer and so i should call back in august sometime. um, okay. i think my cousin's trying to sneak some ice cream again. i'll just walk by and see what she's doing. okay, she took out the ice cream that she put away last time i walked past -- maybe she thought i was her mom -- and now she has a little cup and a spoon and i'm guessing she's going to start eating ice cream. how lovely. really fat people are annoying. that girl in the last box is in a tub, and it's from an evian ad. i have no idea who she is. what's "daze"?
Snatch is defitnitely a funny movie! I still can't get over that 'throw the milk out the window, milk lands on another car's windshield and car crashes, trunk pops up, boris pops out, 3rd car hits boris, boris gets shot gun! LOL We gotta see that other guy richie movie! So I'm watching Wimbledon right now, and its in the 5th set overtime, its a really good match, you should watch it! it's on channel 4. I noticed this weird thing on my schedule. the first marking period seems to be fine, but in the 2 3 and 4th, i have 2 englishes and no histories... anyway ill just go with the first marking period schedule. have fun on the parkway steph! later Daze
hi ellen!!! =)
"snatch" has to be one of the coolest/funniest movies ever.. =) it is so cool. anyone who hasn't seen it yet should rent it. woo.. that's good stuff. :) i just called guidance.. and they referred me to that garren lady.. and she called me back and muttered something about getting someone to call me back. i'm not too sure what she said, because as she was saying it, this other phone was ringing very loudly and annoyingly in the background. i am now slightly confused and bewildered. hum. why do i have the feeling that nothing is going to come of this? *sigh* oh well.. :P aaah! my last driving lesson is today. and that means.. i'm probably going to be going on the parkway..? i'm not too sure, though. it's going to be freaky. haha, yes, very freaky.. okay. i'm done. bye all..
yo. sup guys. =) haha...yeah, i'm online in hawaii! how screwed up is that?! ok, well considering me, not that screwed up. anyway, there's no one online to talk to (i'm here at ashley's frozen yogurt)...i think its 2 in nj? oh well. its amazing here. simple as that.
anyway, how is everyone? derk, did you start pratt yet? nice site by the way. who's the girl in the last box? uh..ok. i should leave soon..i have no idea how long i was online. but its all good. yeah...so i came by to catch up on blogging, to find a lot of holmdel woes. hm..i hope i got my schedule. anyway, i'll see you guys all in a month. maybe i'll stop by here tomorrow night too. wow, i'm a dork. Sunday, July 08, 2001
grace sea-ying pan! my website's url is http://discobagel.tripod.com. but i changed the name, its not monkey like bagels anymore. i named it after Karthik's famous expression. you'll see when you go there. and i'll link to your site from mine, k?
i just came back from watching AI. that movie is a little crazy. just a little. its gets spooky and funny at the same time. and now i can tell mr lewis next year that a robot may not be able to make soup, but it can make coffee, but he probably already knows.
oh and richard...richard li! are you reading this? yes i hope so, i would like the url of your webpage...monkeys like bagels so i can link it from my site, okeydokey? =)
hey, i have my webpage halfway-revamped! go see it here!! ... or wait, that's my personal updates section...the actual whole webpage is at this place ...
i know there's a lot of people i'm missing still in the friends section, but i'm working, i'm working!! i'm a little excited, i learned about the html color samplers and a bunch of stuff like that, so i played around with it all yesterday...go see it!! and sign the guestbook =). see you guys later...pasta for dinner! whee! Saturday, July 07, 2001
aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! nooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i lost my bloooooooooggggggggg!!!!!!!!!!!!! my blooooogggggg!! stupid computer with insufficent RAM. internet explorer just had to freeze when i was trying to open another window. i think i'm going to go running tomorrow. and watch AI. anyone want to hear about my latest movie theater experience? i went to watch Atlantis with Neil, and it happened to be this little girl's birthday. there were like 30-something kids there. i think her name was Kate, or Katie, or Cate, or Catie, or Katherine, or Kathryn. anyway, we got to sing happy birthday to her with the whole audience. then neil and i wanted to run away b/c we thought the little kids were going to be real annoying, but they were actually quiet. this one kids said something really random, around the lines of "Why is that guy eating?", but i forget exactly what it was. i'll remember sooner or later. in the movie there was this guy whose name i think was Mole, and we were like "Yeah! 6.02 times 10 to the 23rd!"
helloooooo..
i just came back from watching "A.I." hmm.. it's an .. interesting movie. yeah. that's all i'll say. :P haley joel osment is so cute! and jude law is so cool! haha.. he was cool in "gattaca," too. yuuup. anywho, it took them a while to get the movie ready.. and we were sitting there.. for forty minutes.. just sitting there. i thought i was going to go nuts. but, they gave us these little red ticket thingies that'll let us into another movie for free. yeah! free stuff rocks.. :) funny, i don't really have much to say today. haha.. okay, bye!
grace- you didn't visit me at the library! what is this? anyway, out instructor lady sara, says that when we see friends or someone familiar, we're not suppose to interact with them, we're suppose to tell them that we take this volunteering thing extremely seriously and would like to be left alone- something to that effect, i think its pretty stupid, but hey...derek- im suppose to call you, but i seem to have misplaced ur phone number yet again- you'd think i kno it by heart by now, but u always write it on this useless piece of scrap paper that i always see the need to toss in the garbage- and ur phone number just goes along with it- so anyway we wanted to do something this sunday, like in the afternoon, WOULD ANYONE ELSE WANT TO DO ANYTHING? responses from those still in nj would be nice. steph- i went to woodbridge mall when i was looking for a sweet 16 dress, and i did pay a visit to the AE- wow! i just rememered something i need to do...
hmm wow. i really feel like i'm lacking conversation with you people considering the last 10 or so blogs are all about holmdel incoming juniors' schedules. maybe i'll give you my two cents. from what i hear, amitrani is the world's worst physics teacher and you won't learn anythign at all, whereas keller is very cool. not that i would know, since i don't go to holmdel. but i'm under the impression that amitrani really is that bad. you holmdelians start everything so early. and i mean like...you got your schedules already -- we get them like 2 days before school starts. xc practice started already for you...i think we start around very end of july or beginning of august. or end of august actually. yeah. i think all fall sports start end of august. except for cheerleading...their tryouts started last year. er...i think before school was out.
so i got home last night... i got bio sat scores and my report card. disappointing and surprising, respectively. right. i'm really bored now. i dont' know what to do. and everyone lives so far away! or...they're just...really far away... ok. i have no life. i need to get a life. and find some friends that i can actually hang out with. oh, i think i'm goign to get a job. that dunkin donuts thing fell through...stinking collegians. all coming back to work. but i think i just might end up doing receptionist work like ellie. but i dunno, i guess i'll have to see how things work out. my eyes are tearing uncontrollably. very uncontrollably. off to the tissue box.
wow is amitrani really that bad? i haven't even seen my schedule yet and i'm almost scared to get it now... after all of this "spirited discussion" on the topic of schedules. hm the whole you can pick a day to miss gym is pretty nifty actually. i'd pick aerobics every time. haha, i wonder if the teacher would catch on... mr. reckage probably wouldn't allow that, knowing him. oh well, teehee, i want to go home and see my schedule and chem sat scores, oh the agonizing suspense of it all...

so i called guidance yesterday, and spoke with some secretary lady and after finding out that mr. kowalchyk -- i must've spelled that wrong, i'm almost positive that i did -- was out and would be out until august except for maybe calling in and with a slight chance of even coming in, i talked to the lady about my schedule and she looked at it and then i asked if i could maybe talk to the new guidance director .. i think her name is mrs. garan. the lady said okay, she's in the middle of a call and i can leave my name and number and she'll call me back. i haven't gotten a call yet. i'll try again monday, and if i don't get to speak to her or if she says she can't do anything, i have a secret weapon. i'll whine to my dad. haha. actually, i'll just explain everything and throw the potato into his hands. hot potato, hot potato ..
argh. i tried to call guidance today and nobody was there. argh argh argh. this is getting very frustrating. if i don't get this changed, i will be very mad. has anyone actually gotten it changed yet? anyone? ack. i don't know what i'm doing anymore.
anywho, i went to the mall today. woodbridge, to be exact. they are having HUGE end-of-season sales everywhere. it was quite overwhelming. and i think woodbridge has the biggest american eagle i have ever seen... it was great.. although i didn't buy anything there, but it was still great. :P they had a huge tv thing by the shoes playing american eagle music video things. maybe not music videos, but they were showing videos of their models frolicking around in fields with music in the background. and they were selling ten dollar shoes. that was pretty nifty. hahaha.. nifty indeed. derek, i think you need to find a new color scheme. seriously.. ;) aren't you getting tired of the whole yellow-green look? haha.. i'm only kidding. but.. yeah. like grace said, it is quite green. =) i feel so disgusting right now. i ate fast food chinese today with fried chicken. uuuuuuuuugh. this is so sick... :P blah, anyway.. i think i'm going to go do something else now. byebye...
so about all this dropping physics thing....i had talked to a lot of people who had either amitrani or keller (you'll have either one twice in a row if you follow the hphysics apphysics trail) and most of them thought that it was worth more to only have keller for one year than to have amitrani for two years....so i guess that's my perspective for all you who are thinking about it...serena, derek, etc..and i really wanted ap env sci, so that's what i opted for...and hphysics sr year...i feel like i'm reiterating myself....
anyway, serena, i decided that i might go and visit you on saturday around 10ish or 11ish at the library...kapeesh? =) haha...kevin tang volunteers there too, and i bump into him a lot (i believe he's in taiwan with the rest of the world right now, though) and he said that he had to be careful when talking to me because apparently you're not "supposed to"..is there any validity in that? =) anyway, derk, your website is quite green. when i saw it i thought of lemons and limes...you have any ideas for my webpage, tell me, because i'm updating it and possibly revamping it =). xc in four days...*shudder*..
um, i think that since you don't have your lab period with gym, you're allowed to skip gym once a week. and then i think you're allowed to pick whichever day you want to miss. this is what i'm thinking because i kind of remember it happening to someone who had lunch during the chem lab period this year. i mean last year. anyway, i just came back from getting a haircut at some chinese lady's house and spending a really really long time at the chinese supermarket .. i'll come back later. wow, my last blog didn't flow at all. my cousins eat like chinese people.
im blogging! 2 days in a row, wow, this can really be addictive. i was considering dropping physics too, but something just occurred to me, thanks to derek, that never occurred to me before, can't i take physics for 2 weeks or something? and if i hate it, then drop it, instead of dropping it now without knowing? wow i can't believe that never occurred to me. just what i was thinking derek: 23 year old millionaire- interesting. hehe. JESS- how's taiwan, or wherever it is that you went? bring back some fobby stuff for me! i've never been to taiwan! um... i think thats it, talk to you later
hey steph, then you only have 2nd period free/lunch 3 days a week, right? cause you have ap chem labs and honors physics labs... man that's harsh, you have to take gym everyday??? i feel for you, girl. but then again, maybe i'm just a lazy bum. hehe. ;)
Thursday, July 05, 2001
and so i was reading some blogs just now and i think i might do that "drop physics this year and take it senior year" thing too, if i really hate amitrani. i could just take ap compsci instead, and it would probably be okay. i mean, compsci is useful too. i wish phsyics was a sophomore class. i went to hawaii once, like when i was six. i don't remember anything, except we lived in some college dorm and they didn't have a tv. twenty-three-year-old millionaire, interesting. i haven't been doing anything productive lately. i was about to go eat now, but then my aunt and cousin are sleeping upstairs and my dad's drooling on the couch, so. maybe i'll go eat anyway.
hi, i started another website. except i probably still won't get around to finishing it. it's really green, and here it is. [ netscape / IE ]. i still haven't figured out that problem with the font size differences between the two browsers, so. it's really annoying.
alright... so all of you have gone to eat dinner, and im stuck here... maybe i shoudl eat too. im so depressed about latin... how could they split us up like that? now im gonna be in the stupid class, and and... oh... *sigh*... i also don't know how i am going to handle this workload... im already having so much trouble with precalc... im sooo bad at it. ive never had a math where i just dont understand it. i guess depression leads to food, so here i go. bye
hey ya'll <-- isnt that cool?! hehe... anyway i haven't blogged in ages (sorry derek) so im a little rusty at this. hey is connie on this blog? just wondering... cuz that would be cool if she was/is, then maybe i would blog more often. um what was i gonna say? ooh right my schedule. I'm gonna type it so its like in a column cuz this couting thing is getting annoying so...
1. ap chem 2. gym 3. h english 3 4. ap latin 5. h physics 6. lunch 7. h precalc 8. h ush2/ mod did u look at that?! english and latin next to eachother... im gonna need to become a coffee addict.. im gonna be sooo asleep! so what have ya'll <-- there it is again! ; been doin lately? i have SAT classes 5 days a week with Allison, Ann, and bunch of other asians. its from 9-11 in the morn and then on tuesday and wednesdays me al ann all take precalc classes from 6 at nite to 8. its kinda depressing right? school in the summer, and then on Sat from 10-1 i volunteer at holmdel library. drop by some time and ill give u a sticker! so thats my schedule til aug 17th if u wanted to know... so how was everyones 4th of July? mine was ok, had a bbq with family, met one of my cousins, 23 year old, friend from childhood, graduated from princeton, genuis, millionaire, extremely nice, easy to talk to, pretty cute, guy friends. the bad part? hes 23... yea... hopefully ill meet someone like that in the future...So i was wondering if some people wanted to get together this wknd... go to the mall, see a movie, go ICESKATING?" I WANNA I WANNA! ok... so yea...im going stircrazy... complete boredom over here. so i'll post this blog now, and yea maybe someone will read it and respond? maybe?
okay, so here is my scedule: AP chem/chen, free-lunch, physics/amitrani, latin, history/[mrs.] bryer, english/gothelf, precalc/bird, gym. my schedule is so messed up! hey, i'm in a bunch of classes with richard. hmm.. anyway.. my schedule is so messed up! and i was supposed to call guidance today, but i went home and took a .. three-hour nap as soon as i was done volunteering. aaagh! so much time wasted! freaking..out..must..regain..control..... ugh. i guess i'm okay.. just overreacting a bit. haha.. =)
so, what is it exactly that you do, ellie? receptionist-type job? i wanted to get a job. but maybe next summer. i want to work somewhere cool, like temptations. i want to work at temptations! that would be such a nice place to work. if you haven't been there, it's this really nice ice cream parlor that's really homy and stuff. i want to work there! but i heard the waiting list is very, very long. hahaha.. oh well. maybe next summer. :P hum.. a lot of people are away now. hope you're having fun, ellen/jess/eric/connie/[and whoever else i forgot]! hawaii is soooo nice. i want to go back there. but.. i don't think i will any time soon.. because that was back in the day when my dad got all-expenses-paid vacations from the university he taught at. man, that was NICE. hahaha.. oh well. i've had my share of traveling for now, i suppose. but i love traveling.. it's so fun. hehe.. when i grow up, i want to go all over the world. yay! hee hee =) that's all for now, folks. later dudes..
wow. i am finally blogging =). it took me awhile to figure out how to do this, and derek had to send me about 4 or 5 reinvitations to blogger for me to do this...thanks d.rex! =). i love my schedule (since this seems to be the topic of discussion)...but it's very different from everyone else's..so i don't know anyone that's going to be in my classes...here goes: 1. h.eng/gothelf....2. precalc/schwartz....3. h.french4/newteacher....4. ap psych/sanecki....5. lunch....6. h.history/bryer....7. AND 8. ap environmental sci/cole....
okay, here's my question...they never wrote in any of the marking periods "family living", so how do i know which phys.ed. period i have? i guess i'll call and ask....as you can see, i don't have honors physics..i didn't want amitrani for two years in a row, i'd rather have keller for one year, so i dropped h.physics to take it with the juniors when i'm a senior. hmph. xc practice starts on july 10th for girls...wheeee....back to the foilage, hills, mosquitos, and fun fun fun! maybe this year, for ONCE...coughcough...we can play hunter hunted...cuz we didn't get to last year. i'm out. =)
ahhh my schedule is messed up!!! well, ok it's not. (well, not yet. i get my schedule in august) hehe, but i wanted to join in the messed up schedule woes. =P
anyway, this will probably be one of the last blogs you'll read from me in..a month? tomorrow morning (or is it later today?) i'm leaving for hawaii! i'm super excited. i can't wait to try surfing and bumming on the beach and everything else that comes along. i might see a delirious concert (coincidence that they're on the same island as us). i hope i meet some cool people. and if not, i'll spend my time writing postcards/letters back home. well, i'll do that no matter what. i really want to keep in touch with all you guys. =) after hawaii, i'll be pretty tied up. from vacation i get back the 16th (morning), i'm leaving the 16th for music camp, coming back the 21st, leaving the 22nd for a forum on medicine (?) and finally coming back the 30th. whew. but after that, i'll be sure to go visit derk caitlin sheila up at pratt for a day or two. while you guys are busy learning, i'll wander around the city like it seems we always do. hehe...yup. well, i'll miss reading all the blogs and i'll miss all you guys. good luck with your schedules, first days at art school, unprogressing receptionist work (or anything else), xc practices, volunteering, rent sing alongs, and everything else. have fun everyone!! Wednesday, July 04, 2001
aaah why is my schedule so different? 1st--ap chem, 2nd--breakfast/lab, 3rd--h physics, 4--ap latin, 5--h history, 6th--physed, 7th--h precalc, 8th--h english. gahh why did they have to split up our latin class??!!! we already lost jonny lee!! why must they torture us like this? mean guidance people. hrm.
wah, all my archives are gone. i'll have to do that weird resetting thing to get them all back again. and i just looked at ellie's raw blog by clicking on "edit" and saw all the non-breaking spaces she inserts. like in between sentences, she doesn't even put one normal space .. she puts two non-breaking spaces using the html code for the space. i just hit the spacebar and put one extra using and um, well. this was a pretty pointless thing to say, because you probably all don't know what i'm talking about ..
yo derek, you just spelled nbsp; wrong. um, everyone else can ignore that.
anyway, i haven't blogged in like two weeks, which is crazy, especially since at work i have nothing to do but browse online. so i guess i forgot about the blog :-O my bad. (i don't really usually use faces like that, only the traditional smily or winky faces, but what the heck, it seemed appropriate.) so would you guys be interested in what i've been doing these past two weeks? if you are you can read on ... if not ... just stop here i guess. let's see ... work has not progressed any, so i've been coming in and leaving at pretty irregular times, only working like five hours a day or so. so i didn't earn as much money as victor did (who comes in from 9-5 like a freak ;-) but what the heck, it's just like staying at home, only in an office. oh the other day i was driving to holmdel park (actually i think it was tuesday, and that would be yesterday, now wouldn't it) and i saw the xc team practicing running up a hill on longstreet (the street off which holmdel park is) ... yeah i know i saw jon lee ... so i'm pretty sure it was them. actually i really don't remember what day it was anymore. i feel really old all the time ... yesterday i had an orthodontist appointment (like the final check before i go to college) and i was looking around the room at the other ppl with braces and i was like ... i'm the only one that drove here. it's a really freaky feeling. wow my life sounds so uninteresting but to tell you the truth i've been having a really great summer :-) all you sophomores/juniors should call me and i'll come to your houses and we can hang out!!! the only thing i think i've missed so far is that i haven't gone to the beach yet ... but then again i don't really like the beach so maybe that's fortunate. all right, enough boring updates, later!
mm, no one seems to respond to what i say. good music, good exercises? anyway, so finally people are talking about their schedules -- i think maybe it's because the school sent them out .. ? anyway, i wouldn't know because i haven't gotten mine because apparently i won't get it until i resolve this missing book thing. i think it's my vocab book, which right now is on the ground near my feet. i don't think we did anything other really than tower records .. at least not for me. they were stopping at every single stand that was selling knock-off purses and bags and then they spent a really long time in this outdoor market thing in soho and went into all these super-expensive or strange urban clothing stores. oh, and then we went to chinatown and walked for blocks in the wrong direction. and they ate ice cream at sbarro, which was kind of a stupid thing to me .. it's like going to taiwan and eating mcdonalds all the time. which i used to do. you're right, i did spell nbsp; wrong.
my schedule sucks. or at least right now i feel like it does. i have fourth period lunch, and i really really wish i had 5th or 6th. and they split up my latin class! i'm so depressed about that. and let's see, what else. do any of you have physics first? or are all of you doubling up. yes, i think you are. but anyway, here is my schedule i think: first - physics, second - gym, third - spanish, fourth - lunch, fifth - latin, sixth - history, 7th - precalculus, eighth - english, ninth - SRC! how come i wrote out all the numbers except for 7th? maybe i don't know how to spell 7th. m-cat, what's up? last night i was at carly's house, and i was like, dude let's go visit michelle! but we didn't. we had a dance party in her room instead. and then we went to the dearborn parking lot and watched hazlet fireworks. and then i drove home. i've been driving a lot lately. so wait, who went to ny? and what did you do, besides go to tower records? moma?
Tuesday, July 03, 2001
aaaaaaaaaargh. stupid schedule. what do i do? do i try to switch everything around so i can have lunch at a decent hour? or no? aaagh. what do i do???
hmm, anyway, i just got back from red bank and the fireworks. they were fun for the first five minutes, but then my head started to hurt. i don't think staring directly into bright, bright lights is too good for your eyes. but the rest of the night was fun.. i ate at this nice thai restaurant with my mom. i really like how that place is decorated.. it's got all these cute little lamps hanging from the ceiling and the rest of the place is really.. thai. haha, yeah. anyway.. after that, we walked around and wandered into this store where they have a bunch of ceramic things and you glaze them yourself. it was really fun.. i did this little gift-box-type thing. yup... it was such a beautiful night to be outside. the wind was blowing kind of gently.. and it just felt really good. the only problem was that there were about.. oh, ten thousand people there. yeah.. maybe not *that* many, but a lot. it took us FOREVER to get out of the parking lot. ick. but, on the whole, it was fun. fun fun fun.. :) man, i need to go to bed. g'night everyone!
it sounds like someone's bombing our town. i really don't like fireworks. when i was little and we lived in texas really close to a theme park called fiesta texas and we had season tickets, it was really annoying how we would go once every week or so and watch the fireworks and laser show. they always played "pretty woman" and some "america" song, really countryish and patriotic. but i guess my parents never got tired of it, because they're out there right now with my grandma and piano teacher -- watching the fireworks somewhere. probably either red bank or hazlet.
so today we went uptown to niketown at fifty-sixth street so i could return my defective backpack -- which they ended up giving me thirty dollars store credit for, even though i only paid twenty at marshalls -- and then we looked around in there and in tower records for a while. three of us bought cds .. they were all really good. i love discovering new music. i think i'll be spending a lot of time in tower records during my spare time in new york. anyway, "wait" by seven mary three is a good song. or well, i kind of like the chorus but not so much the other parts. i think i'm cheating right now by copying and pasting this out of an e-mail i wrote before. but i'm feeling lazy, so okay. well, tomorrow i'm going to call the school again and ask them to switch my schedule around by opening up the class by kicking someone out who can have their schedule changed without having their classes affected. and then i got a letter the other day that says i supposedly have books or athletic equipment -- no, because i didn't play a sport -- not returned, so i have to call and ask which ones i still have out. which is really annoying. but i hope, i hope that i can get the schedule all worked out soon. i'm a little worried. i think i'm fat. hopefully i'll lose some of this fat by the end of summer. i don't like running. what are some other good aerobic exercises that i can do to lose fat, i guess maybe around my stomach and waist, preferably some kind of indoor activity -- ? it's so annoying when i can pinch a piece of skin between my fingers. you guys, tell me all the good exercises you know. i really think this is bad how i'm copying from an e-mail, but oh well. she won't mind. (she probably won't even know ..)
today was my first day of xc practice, and i almost collapsed on the start hill. i had a blast. my group was supposed to do a varsity course and then front and back woods, but i was so behind that coach only had me do a varsity course and then back down longstreet. when i was calling my mom to pick me up from school, i was so tired i kept pressing the wrong buttons and i had to try 4 times to get it right. and now i'm sitting here listening to rhapsody in blue.
hey dave, what are you gonna be doing at drew? i have something else fun you can do there. in the dorms the cleaning ladies leave out huge boxes of soap and cups and towels in the lounges. and what we did was pretty much grab all the soap and we kept it in our room, so we formed the "Soap Familio". we were really messed up, ok? and we had a mob war with the "Cup Familio", and we beat them and took their cups and towels. we had a monopoly on all the toiletry stuff, and it was pretty fun. i think at my high point i had 265 of those little soap bars. yes, we had lots of free time. i want to play violin, or viola. and dave, bring lots of peptol bismol, unless you're totally immune to cafeteria food. have fun.
i just got back from the doctor's office. i saw my first real live set of triplets there... they were sooo cute!! they were all wearing matching outfits with blue plaid shirts and navy pants with little white shoes.. and they all had the chubbiest cheeks. oh, such cute kids. =) i think they were either ten or sixteen months old. haha.. no, those numbers are no where close to each other.. but, yeah. i don't remember the exact age. they were absolutely adorable. hehe ;)
i think i'm going to red bank to watch the fireworks tonight. that should be fun.. i haven't done the fireworks thing in years. and red bank is a really cool place. i used to take piano lessons there. yeah, yamaha!! haha.. i remember i had this teacher named richard. he was cool.. one thing i remember about him was that he never left his piano bench. or maybe i just never saw him leave it. anyway, he just seemed kind of like a permanent fixture of the room. hahaha.. and i also have a vague recollection of going fruit shopping with my mom in red bank. hmm.. it's funny what you remember from your childhood. i wish i could remember more interesting things. then i could amuse you all with funny anecdotes from my childhood. and now i am just rambling on and on .. alrighty, i think i'll stop now. :) i don't think anybody is home right now. you're all in new york now, aren't you? *sigh* my mom will never let me go anywhere without a parent. blah blah blah. i think she's being a bit overprotective. but, whatever. i guess i'll have to deal with it. not a big deal. anyway, tell me how your day was.. i am quite interested. =) Monday, July 02, 2001
Hey peoples! wuts up? I'm at ellen's (pkjzh) house right now... we're playing "...Baby One more time" and singing to it on the acoustic guitar... can we say abnormal? hehe, any how, we're going to NYC tomorrow! yay! it's my first time going w/o a parent! yippee! freedom! So, wuts up everyone? How's my pyrophobic brainiac C-fish doing? haha, you and carly hafta come over real soon so we came film the series! haha, have fun fun at Cornell! when you come back, we'll finish out Rent singalong. anyway, i'm flattered that you let me blog. cause somehow i'm so afraid that the love will reveal what you're made of. bye!
this is so annoying. something's wrong with my mouse, because every time i click on the title bar of a window it thinks that i'm double-clicking and so it resizes the window from full-screen mode. which just erased my whole blog. oh well, it wasn't all that important -- i was just saying how i saw these shorts online and got ellen to buy them at a store because i didn't think i would be going to the mall anytime soon but then i actually went to the mall today and saw the shorts and they were the wrong material. like some kind of plasticky polyester swishy thing. wrong shorts, ugh. the ones i want are still thirty-eight dollars .. i'll just have to wait until they're cheaper. it might take a while. i hope they won't be all gone by the time they go on sale. but i did get this t-shirt that was amusing because it said "blue team 01" and it was a green t-shirt. i like funny-stupid shirts or ones that make me seem like something i'm not, like ones that say i run track or i wrestle or i surf or i skydive. i saw these shirts that had surfing-beach themes, and i liked them, but they're not on sale. i'm cheap.
oh, and something else that's getting shorter and shorter are all these blogs. that was grammatically incorrect. should i change it to "somethings" or um .. i don't know how to fix it. anyway, i don't think i've really blogged recently. maybe this'll make up for it. i'm really just ranting now. today was a nice day. i don't like birds.
woh, killer birds. that's kinda freaky. and the ear thing, too. what is wrong with all of us?! hehe =)
i want to do something.... aaaaagh. something. anything. i'm getting bored of going online, reading, and watching tv all day. uuugh. my attention span seems to be getting shorter and shorter and shorter.. and yes. *sigh* i need to do something...
hey you guys, i can't hear out of my right ear... ahhh! it's so messed up, it feels like it has water in it except it doesn't.... i feel soo... off balanced. it's the weirdest thing hehe.
duuuude. maybe i should organize a bird hunting team over here. talk abot killer birds. i live in like...the teachers dorm thats kinda JUST off campus. theres a lil walkway by a big field thas about 350 meters long that leads directly to the school so we dont have to walk around in a circle and go through the front. only thing about wlaking this is that if ur walking alone, this stupid crow will fly directly at ur head...yelling at the top of its lungs. dude...scares the crap outta me. my dad told me that its been like that for a long time. it attacks u if ur alone...but if theres 2 or more people..then u should be fine. anywayz...he told me that if i was walking alone...that i should take a stick...or a piece of broken branch and hold it so its sticking out the top of my head or just hold it up above my head. it looks stupid...but it actually works! hehe. guess it scares the bird. a couple times i brought my tennis racquet and tried smacking the bird as it flew by my head but it kept swerving out of the way...hmph...oh well...anywayz...i probably wont be able to go online anymore for 3 days. this thursday friday saturday i think. july 4, 5, 6. my dad is taking me on a trip with some other people and we are gonig to be going to a place in taiwan where its supposedly really beautiful. and i think i heard something about staying in a 5 star hotel. i had dinner in a 5 star hotel lsat night...didnt have to pay for anything cuz it was pad for by another school. my dad said it was about 400 american dollars a table....and we had 3 tables. thats more 10,000 taiwan money i think. oh well. yea...keep e-mailing me though...(none of u have cept maybe 1 or 2 people) but anawyz....im outzZ
mmm...it's really late.. i'm tired. i think i should go to sleep. why did i come here to blog? derek, chill out about the pratt thing. there's an art store somewhere near us, i forget where, that has all that stuff on the list. and plus, we only need the stuff on the first page for the first day - the long list is for later and we can get that stuff at the pratt store in the city easily. so don't worry. and even if they DO evaluate our drawing skills, who cares? it's just for fun after all... yawn.... i am sleeeeeepy. g'night guys.
Sunday, July 01, 2001
oh my goodness.. i just cleaned my room. which is odd, especially for me. i did one of those complete-reorganization things..and i am exhausted. woo.... =) it feels good, though. cleaning is surprisingly relaxing - i should do it more often. hahaha.. yes. i am weird. :)
ick. i've got green marker all over my hands, and i don't know where it's from. strange.. anyways.. squirrel hunting, richard? that is TOO cool. hahaha.. =) i remember when i was at brookdale something-or-other camp, there was this groundhog dude that was always there. he had a name.. but i forget what it was. yeah, i don't know what made me think of that. maybe it's the whole wildlife thing. haha.. yeah. and there's this dead groundhog in the middle of my street. fairly disturbing. every time i leave the house, it seems to have moved a little. i think it was on its stomach last night.. and then when i came back from church, it was on its back. yes, i'm sure you all wanted to know this. i think i'll shut up now. :) *sigh* i'm tired. and somewhat bored. hum, maybe i'll go waste time somewhere else. la la la... okie, bye!
wow, i didn't blog yesterday. i think i fell asleep on the couch after coming home from the thirty-hour famine and then i woke up at around midnight and went upstairs and brushed my teeth and washed my face and then i fell asleep again but only for a little while before i went back downstairs to sleep on the futon. i woke up at maybe around seven today, and then my ride never came at eight-forty or so to pick me up to go to church. people should be more responsible. funny, that word seems a little weird to me right now. like it doesn't look like a real word. anyway, so i'm going to eat something and clean the house. i think it'll make my mom really happy if i vacuum all downstairs .. not that there's anything wrong with it. i'll be back.
