current song: el tango de roxanne
Today is Margaret's birthday, and yesterday was Baylee's. Happy birthdays.
So yesterday was the dance off. It was quite interesting. Here's how my day went:
5:30 AM. Woke up gasping. I have no clue why. What the hell.
7:00 AM. Alarm went off. I remembered the dream I'd been having. Stupid dreams. Lately they've been horrid. After having fallen back asleep, I was woken up by my mom and dad, informing me that I need to get ready for tennis. They then realized that I can't go to tennis, because the maids were coming, rendering my mom unable to leave the house, and I sure as hell wasn't gonna walk home.
8:30 AM. Finished cleaning up my crap and settled in for an AC session with mom.
10:05 AM. Sara called to tell me she's picking me up. I gathered all my stuff and wandered outside to wait. Sara arrived and we drove to Danika's. Sara washed flower petals, and as other people started to arrive we practiced dancing.
1:30 PM. We all got sick of practicing, and by this time Sara's off at work, and so Sarah, Danika, Libby and I go to Ms. Brown's house for some quality movie-watching. We stop by McDonald's for lunch and are later joined by Chaffin (and brother) and Sonia (and boyfriend). We all watched Rocky Horror and I, the only one who had never seen it before (I think) was thoroughly amused. So, it seems, was everyone else. Joy. Sonia and Chris headed off, Sarah went to take a shower, and Chaffin dropped me off at home for dinner eating. I planned on taking a shower but instead spent the entire three hours that I'm at home doing laundry and taking a nap. Then we had turkey dinner. Yum. Then dad drove me to Danika's.
7:15 PM. I get to Danika's, change my shirt, we practice one more time, then go to Kaila's huge ass house for the dancing. Her backyard has gotta be, like, 10 acres or something. Not that I know how big an acre is. I admired the swing set, it was cool. I like swinging, I should do it more often. Only the seats don't fit me cause I'm too wide. Damn kid swings.
10:00 PM. People start threatening to leave without holding the dance off. What the hell? Like, Sara's maybe 10 minutes away and everyone's like, "Oh, I'm going to break curfew! Ohmigod!" Grrr. So the other team (team?) starts while Chaffin's changing and Sara isn't there yet, so they didn't even get to see it.
They started out with a DDR thing... ha. As if. It was so damn lame. Seriously. But it was kind of funny just because it was so lame, and Ian was just randomly jumping around at the end. Then they did some breakdancing stuff. Alex was quite impressive. The cheerleaders went up and did cheerleader moves and made fun of us somehow by wiggling against each other. But I felt bad for Eric because since he was the only guy there I think that's why he got stuck with a lot of the abuse. Taifur stuck a flower (a copy of the original) in his armpit, man. Speaking of Taifur, he was in every frickin' scene. The dance was composed of Taifur and his sidekicks, really. But, dude, Chris and Taifur were twirling around the glowsticks, which was really pretty, and Taifur, Alex, and Chris did some fighting which was quite impressive. And some of the cheerleading moves were nifty. Oh, and the best part was when Ned pulled out his underpants. That actually was really funny.
So Sara finally gets there after they finish and we scramble around getting our costumes on and everything. It was kind of annoying because they kept haranguing us through the whole thing. Some people were really rude. *glare* Well, whatever. Everybody seemed to think the minuet dance was stupid but they liked Tara (of course) and I think when Sara and Libby did their Irish dancing some people started getting impressed. You could just tell because some of the heckling gave way to ... I don't know, impressed noises. Sarah and Danika's was awesome, of course... but apparently one of the milkshakes found its way to Taifur. That's not cool. I don't think he drank any spam though, so it's ok. I liked the tango - it was just so fun to do. But someone called out something, and it wasn't even insulting, but it really bothered me. Struck a nerve, you might say. I should probably spend some quality time away from Bah. It just sucks. But I managed to keep a straight face during the whole thing (w00t) and kept up fairly well during Eric's indian dance. Oh man, it was so awesome. Eric did really well with everything, the geisha too. And then we did Tara's death scene and even though all the rose petals were on one side, I think it worked out, and even though I felt I had to clench my teeth around the glowstick so I couldn't get my mouth all the way open, I think it probably looked awesome. And then we finished with the time warp and a bunch of people laughed. Actually, we got quite a few laughs, it was awesome. That's how you know it was successful.
The juniors (eh, give or take a few kiddoes, they were all juniors) were declared the winners. Whatever. I think we all know who the true winners were. Haha. Eh, I kid. But our team did a really good job and I'm really proud of what we did - and what I did. It's a nice feeling, accomplishing something like that.
Afterwards we took stuff to cars and headed off to Sara's house - it was Danika, Eric, Sara, Libby, me, and the three Chaffins. We watched Sara's video of Abu Dhabi and talked. Danika fell asleep on the couch and the Chaffins left, but Sara and Eric and Libby and I all talked until 4:30 in the morning. It was amazing. And then Eric took Danika and Libby and I home. Libby lives too far away for her own good. And I now have a curfew of 1:00 AM. That works.

moo
August 6 and August 14 look like good nights to see On the Spot. Michelle Miracle, Sarah Kirwin, and Carl Anderson are all good players. I've heard good things about Shelley from my parents. Eric Farone (who owns Bovine) is of course an awesome host, as is Carl Wedell. Though I don't know about this "Rick R" character. *snicker*
i almost love this town when i'm by your side
So tonight, rather than cavorting with my nerdy friends, as I've been doing lately, I went with my parents to see ACE. Best. Improv. Ever. Seriously, they're awesome. The group consists of three people (an American, a Canadian, and an Englishman) and they're just... good. You must all see them. So funny.
Tomorrow I'm hanging out with Greg. It should be fun. If the dance-off group wants me, they'll have to call my cell or something to get ahold of me. Maybe I should advise them of this fact.
A few days ago I got my housing info from Boulder, including the names and mailing addresses of my roommates. One of them lives in Europe or something, maybe on a U.S. military base; her state abbreviation is AE. The other one lives in Broomfield, so nothing too out of the ordinary there. Just another fellow Coloradan.
I think I'm going to give up on the gmail account. Just use it for automated stuff and a website mailing address and my subscriptions to xanga and newsletters and whatnot. It's too difficult to get all my friends to change their address books. And then Justin (Claire's Justin) posted a link on how evil and diabolical google's mail is. Whatever.
I'm too tired to think right now. Bah.

I'm so tired... I haven't slept a wink
Well, Eric hasn't, anyway.
It's been an interesting week. Buffy is gone, so when I returned home (at 12:50 in the am) Kasha let out a solitary disgruntled bark before shuffling off to bed, and my parents were presumably undisturbed.
This is another reason to love the laptop; instead of hogging me mum's computer, I can just type away on my own before I go to bed. And in the comfort of my very own room!
Mosque today was cool. I'm glad I went. It was Sara, Eric, Chaffin, Danika, and I. There was much moving about and praying and such. I liked it, even if I didn't follow it too well. The arabic was very pretty even though I didn't understand it.
Our dance... will be awesome.
Tonight we watched Star Trek VI, supposedly "the best" star trek movie, though I liked IV, and the next gen movies are fun too. Like the one where they go back in time, that's a good one. I like the drunk inventor of warp speed. But it was good. Gotta love Shatner, he's so bad it's good. Just like the libertarian candidate.
Ian gave me a ride home. Props to Ian. And apparently he remembers Melissa Jackson, little sister to my best friend in fifth and sixth grades. She was, apparently, in his same grade. It all makes sense.
Carram board, or however you spell it, is awesome. I must learn how to play it better.

dog from HELL
Hoo boy. Well the layout SHOULD have been changed Monday, but blogger was being a butthole and refused to publish itself. How sad. Eh. If I had been less lazy I would have come on to post something before now anyways.
I've now decided that Sara is awesome. That's right, AWESOME!
I think some of my recent confusion stems from... eh, I dunno, it's just one of those "things" I get. I get restless at times and bored, so I idolize people or situations, and it's just a way to get away from the present. Did that make any sense? No, of course it didn't, why do I even ask. At any rate, I've decided that Greg is cool and I'll call him sometime. We should go see a movie. Fahrenheit 911, perhaps?
Speaking of which, I blame my inability to participate in the movie going festivities on the dog we are currently watching over, Buffy (AKA Evildog). Buffy has been quite an annoyance to our family. I've decided that when I get older, I'm getting a cat. Dammit. A cat.
Buffy, oh lovely doggie that she is, has:

Buffy, oh lovely doggie that she is, has:
- not eaten her food, making us worry
- sat next to me on the couch, making me uncomfortable
- raided my bathroom garbage for - ewness - dirty pads, strewing them about the house and forcing me to pick up the bloody remains and carry them back to the trashcan (ewewewewew... but it gives me much pleasure to gross you, the reader, out similarly)
- pulled the butter off the table and started eating it
- gotten diarrhea
- peed in the house three times in two different places
- farted up a storm in mom's office upstairs
- tried to mount Kasha
Oh goody. Her owner comes to pick her up tomorrow. I can't wait!
Now don't get me wrong, she's a sweet dog and as bad as she is, she's just a dog, she can't help it if she's evil. But still.

restless much?
Another layout. I'm tired of the stick man and the layout was too big, it ran off the edge of the screen when it wasn't meant to.
Now I have kitty. I drew him, he's my welcoming neko. We'll see how long he lives here.
Now I have kitty. I drew him, he's my welcoming neko. We'll see how long he lives here.
got to admit it's getting better
So I had a good time at Book Club. I'ma have to make Dr. Pepper cake ASP.
Bah, I need to learn dance moves. It's fun though.
I hung out with Greg on Saturday. The highlight of the evening was playing Halo. I finally figured out how to get past the point I was stuck at. Turns out you have to flip some switch so you don't just fall off the edge. No wonder that gap was so big.
I wanna play Halo now.
Meh. I'm so bored these days.
This laptop is awesome. I'm going to have much fun at Boulder. Speaking of which, I think I've decided on my class schedule. The school of engineering wants you to take, like, fifty billion classes (ok, 5) and it's too much. I wanted to take both Spanish and Japanese but it'd be way too much. And I'm gonna skip the science until next summer or something. I should get a bunch of credits from IB and AP anyway. It's just for the four year guarantee, which I don't care about anyway. So, yeah, but as it is I should have, like, four classes (one of them only meets once a week), which is pretty neat. I'm liking it. It's 14 credit hours, too, which I think is pretty respectable; the average is supposed to be 16 to graduate in 4 years, and if I'm going to take classes over the summer than that's that. I'd like to take it easy for once.
So here are my desired classes:
CSCI 1300 - Comp Sci I: Programming
CSCI 2830 - Sp Tps-Intro Comp Sci
APPM 2350 - Calculus 3 for Engineers
JPNS 1010 - Beginning Japanese I
Should be fun. The Calc 3 should be an easy A (at least, I hope so), the Japanese shall be fun and profitable, the programming course will probably be C++ and therefore easy, and the special topics thing will be, if nothing else, not very time consuming either.
Bah. That's all, I guess.

current song: Travis - Quicksand
I'm in a better mood now.
"Updating... 70% done"
Apparently this summer I'm doing my own laundry. This is good, I need the practice of doing it regularly.
Yesterday Nikki and I hung out and all was good.
I've now seen Shrek 2 three times.
I've finished part one. Now to read the play.
"Updating... 74% done"
My tennis lesson today was cancelled due to inclement weather.
I wonder what CD I should buy next?
I still want new glasses, but I guess I don't care as much anymore.
My watchband has lost one of its gemstones. How sad. I hope I can fix it.
I like rainy mornings like this. I hope the weather stays this way.

My laptop is downloading Asheron's Call. It's taking quite a while to update.

le sigh
Bah. I haven't talked to him in a week, but I kinda miss him. I kinda feel guilty. I'm not sure I appreciate him enough. I don't appreciate any of them enough.
Book club on Friday, which is cool. I'm not as excited as I thought I'd be. I just kind of feel like I don't belong anymore. Almost as if I used to, but I've done stuff that's, I don't know, forbidden, and I've pushed myself out somehow. I hate this feeling.
I especially feel bad about him, because I don't think I ever tried as much as I thought I did, and certainly not as much as I should have. It drives me crazy sometimes when I think about how crazy I was about him and how little, really, I did to make things work. I always thought he didn't do anything, but he did. Too late now, though.
And I feel bad about the current situation, because sometimes he makes me so happy, but sometimes I just feel so restless and bored, and I shouldn't, and then I feel guilty.
They both deserve better than me, I guess. Hopefully in college I'll work some stuff out so I can not only find the guy I want, but do my part.
Man, I still need to read and return Cyrano. I'm so terrible at returning stuff I've borrowed.
Well, that's enough depression. Maybe it's the rain, even though I love it. Sometimes I wonder if I love it because it makes me depressed. Sometimes depression is good, because, if nothing else, it's a strong emotion.
Time to do some reading.

hallelujah, I love her so
So, my chipotle craving went unanswered last night and I am not displeased.
Instead of going out to chipotle... we went to Red Lobster. Yum. Where, as a change of pace, I ordered something other than the cajun chicken garlic alfredo linguine with a caesar salad and mom's mashed potatoes... I ordered the shrimp trio, which came with cajun shrimp garlic alfredo linguine, as well as fried shrimp and shrimp scampi and a potato. (Which I gave to mom, as she had automatically ordered mashed potatoes already. haha.) And I still got my caesar salad. Next time, though, I'll either get the regular old cajun chicken pasta, or I'll go for lemon pepper and popcorn shrimp. I love lemon pepper. They're awesome.
But enough rambling about dinner! The real excitement of last evening's outing came before dinner (gasp). We went to microcenter and purchased... a laptop! *sings* Happy graduation to me, happy graduation to me..
It's quite cool. It was sitting right next to the uber-light, (uber-expensive), uber-small laptop daddy was interested in. For less than half the price. It's originally $1050 (already decent) with a $150 instant rebate and a $100 mail in rebate, which I'm going to have to do. I don't care. It's cool! And now it works, with a better wireless connection than my crappy desktop!
Oh, I take it back. I love my desktop to death. But it'll have to stay here at home while I'm away in college. I hope it doesn't miss me too much.

hahahahahah - *choke*
Oh, I'm such a terrible person. I didn't really think it had been that long since I last posted.
Ah, well.
So, this week. Tennis. I'm taking tennis lessons this week and next. Yes, tennis lessons have been going... well, I suppose. My serve sucks; whilst the sisters go and bounce the ball around my teacher pulls me aside so I can work on my tossing. Bah. I never claimed to be good at sports. Or hand eye coordination. As prom indicated, I'm sure.
Monday was fun, Srav's party was quite enjoyable. I managed to give away all of my buttons, except for one, which I wore myself and now plan on giving to Nikki when I see her. She's back from her trip now. Hoorah. Apparently she went down to LA (didn't you? for part of it?) and ate crawfish. They're cute little buggers aren't they? Tasty, I mean, tasty little buggers.
I want chipotle. Both times I talked to Josh, he tried to torment me by mentioning chipotle. And the second time he wasn't even going. Said he was just to annoy me. Hmph.
Wednesday I saw Harry Potter, hoorah. And I wasn't all by myself after all. And I managed to get rid of that cd. I'll have to buy it meself some time. Twas fun. Oh, and, we went into Kohl's, how d'you like that?
So yeah. And on Monday, and Thursday, me and me mum went to the Aurora Mall as well, among other things. Monday we went to Country Buffet for lunch (ah, the joys of eating nothing but a plateful of mac n cheese and twelve different desserts) and then mom insisted on going to the Arc thrift store and buying a bunch of crud. There was some good stuff too... I bought a candle. Then was the mall, where we spent, like, 45 minutes or an hour at Claire's, or something, and bought maybe 12 pairs of earrings, and a bunch of italian charms, and a couple necklaces, and some DQ dual lip gloss which is quite lovely (it's butterscotch on one side and vanilla on the other! yum!). Then we went to Helzberg Diamonds... and miracle of miracles, mum was actually talked into buying herself a ring! It cost $300, and it's opal and quite lovely. There were 3 in white gold, 2 my mom wanted to look at, and she ended up getting the one I liked better. That made me happy. I don't know why. And then on Thursday we ate lunch at atlanta bread company (yum) then headed off to the mall, where we entered through jc penny's but were detained by the ring section (aaargh... why must my mother be obsessed with shiny things?), junior girl's clothing section ("Do you think this extra large will fit?" I am so not made for extra small clothing), and swimsuit section (too expensive though, we'll go to target at some point). We then went to a clothing store (I got two shirts), icing (the "fancy" version of claire's, where we purchased yet more stuff), the oriental gifts store (mum bought a ring, and i bought orange windchimes and an umbrella for my room), the store right next to it (I got a tiger on a rope! wheee! and a dead butterfly), and then to Helzberg's to pick up her ring. Phew. Then, after all this, we decided to drop by border's. After spending the whole afternoon there looking at books (I looked at a learn japanese book before finding Life of Pi and starting to read it), we finally returned home... to decide to go out to dinner at... Michelle's! They're really good. No big parties tonight, but there was a smaller party of about ten or so, so they got the second biggest ice cream dessert, the "Mount Olympus". Hooray. Next time I am determined to get the belgian waffles with the ice cream on top.
Bah. Too much writing.
Ah, well.

Then we went to Helzberg Diamonds... and miracle of miracles, mum was actually talked into buying herself a ring! It cost $300, and it's opal and quite lovely. There were 3 in white gold, 2 my mom wanted to look at, and she ended up getting the one I liked better. That made me happy. I don't know why. And then on Thursday we ate lunch at atlanta bread company (yum) then headed off to the mall, where we entered through jc penny's but were detained by the ring section (aaargh... why must my mother be obsessed with shiny things?), junior girl's clothing section ("Do you think this extra large will fit?" I am so not made for extra small clothing), and swimsuit section (too expensive though, we'll go to target at some point). We then went to a clothing store (I got two shirts), icing (the "fancy" version of claire's, where we purchased yet more stuff), the oriental gifts store (mum bought a ring, and i bought orange windchimes and an umbrella for my room), the store right next to it (I got a tiger on a rope! wheee! and a dead butterfly), and then to Helzberg's to pick up her ring. Phew. Then, after all this, we decided to drop by border's. After spending the whole afternoon there looking at books (I looked at a learn japanese book before finding Life of Pi and starting to read it), we finally returned home... to decide to go out to dinner at... Michelle's! They're really good. No big parties tonight, but there was a smaller party of about ten or so, so they got the second biggest ice cream dessert, the "Mount Olympus". Hooray. Next time I am determined to get the belgian waffles with the ice cream on top.
Bah. Too much writing.

new layout, anyone?
I think it's been far too long with that past layout. It's not like I hate it or anything, but it's been up for, what, 3 months? That's insane. I'm not even sure how I stood it for that long. Most layouts last a month, max. Or am I hallucinating? Do I usually keep up layouts for this long? Whatever.
Tomorrow = Srav's party. Woot! Though I feel bad, I'm missing out on a surprise birthday party. I'm sure it'll be great though. Happy birthday to the surprisee!
Apparently Greg's parents thought he was dead, or something, because he didn't tell them he was home when he got back from work, and they didn't think to check the garage or basement, and instead called our house asking if we'd heard from him.
I finally watched PotC! With my daddy, no less. ^.^

shrug
So, I didn't go to Matt's party. *shrugs* Eh. Apparently poor Shivani didn't know where the invite was, or something, but she posted this in the middle of my nap. My mum didn't wake me up until, like, half an hour before we had to leave for improvness (which was, by the way, quite excellent). Y'know, I probably wouldn't have been able to go to the party anyway, if it started at five and we had to leave at six. Either that or I would have had to skip the improv... in which case I probably would have gone to see Harry Potter. Meh. Whatever.
Oh, and I don't appear to be going to Sonia's party tomorrow either since my parents won't be available for transportation until it's already over. How sad. Maybe I can mooch off someone... but I'm not really planning on it. *shrugs*
I appear to be shrugging a lot. Is this significant? Eh.
Time to stop squinting and go to bed.

another celebratory get together?
Ok, ok, after this, off to bed.
I may or may not go to Matt's party tomorrow. I should go through our pile of cards to see if there are any good "happy birthday" ones... cause I don't think he'd expect a present (if he's inviting tons of people to his party) but a card would definitely be nice. Am I wrong here? I wouldn't need a present would I?
Oh, and, I'd also need to know when it is and where it is. Heh. There weren't any invitations left by the time I left yesterday's IB barbeque. Shivani said she'd type it up for me... but I forgot where she said she'd type it... on her blog, or my blog, or in email, or... Bah, I'm confused.
Back to the good old days of 3, 4, 5 posts in a day. Yeesh. I hope not. That'd be taxing.

summer plans
current song: N.E.R.D. - Rock Star
Who's cool. Oh yeah. I am now technically, officially, literally, metaphorically, and totally done - yes, DONE - with high school. I'm getting a C in photo. I'm probably getting a C in math. At least, I hope so... 'cause I'm definitely not getting a B. But it's done. I've rescued my shoe. I got my PIN for IB. So... no more. No more!
So this should be a fun summer. I better get together with some of my IB (and non-IB) peeps, yo. Otherwise things could get violent. With the help of my trusty knife-wielding homicidal adorable best friend...
The plan:

The plan:
- Book club. W00t.
- Tennis lessons / playing tennis with the father.
- I think I'm learning Japanese, I think I'm learning Japanese...
- Artness: picture taking, webpage format making, drawing, painting, artistic cake-baking...
- Maybe I can FINALLY learn to play an instrument. That'd be cool.
- Hanging out with friends. I plan to call everyone who left their phone number in my yearbook... at least once. Yes, that includes Nick. Heh.
- Learning perl or something, so that I can make my nifty blogpage.
- Buying as much music as possible while I still have parents to mooch off of. ^.^
More to come later? Well whatever.

bah
Oof. I'm tired. Should have gone to bed.
That Strokes album was only one of six cds I bought yesterday (two days ago?). One of them, however, I'm contemplating giving away. Meh.
Too many graduation parties. Although apparently I'm lucky since I'm only being invited to one per day. Bah!
Thursday: crawfish-eroo. Hooray. Though their deaths were quite anticlimactic. Boo! Meh. Hackeysack and the glowing frisbee were fun.
Friday: hmph. We left early, apparently before all the cool people arrived. There was frisbee, yet again. Hooray for Richard Simmons.
Saturday: staying up till wee hours made daddy mad, so now I have a curfew of 11. Nemo and Russell Crowe made the evening... interesting. The veggie contest was, if not particularly pleasant (gah, I hate vegetables...), quite entertaining.
Sunday: I ate a bratwerst. I'll just pretend there wasn't any cow in it. The cheese was good, as was the little sisters' giant cookie. Highlights included Bush quotes and yet more hackeysack.
Ah, joy. Not to mention Nikki's lurvly graduation on Saturday, as well. Tomorrow should also be fun. (Not to mention Saturday, and, what, Monday?)
And, yes, I am still a terrible child who has not done her photo and math homework. I feel really bad about the math. I'm scared. Bah.
