-confetti-

White[-ish brown-ish] [post]Christmas!

SNOW!!!
I'm...dreaming of a whiiiiite....Christmas!!!!
[*I was]
Snowfall is beginning to get on my nerves just a 'lil... x] while shoveling the driveway, [anyone else have to do that? Not fun, right?] It's clean one night, and when my wrestling coach calls, yeah, looks like I can make it. Wake up the next day, or even worse, couple hours later and BOOM.
"Where'd all this [insert expletive of choice] SNOW come from?!?" *sobs*
But hey, Christmas was good, right? Xbox360 over here for my littlest brother, which is cool, I guess... I got some more practical stuff...^^ Sports duffel...sweatshirt...FAT 2 gig USB! With designs! And the cap is attatched, which is a lifesaver for me.. allways losing small things like that.

What'd you guys get? ^^

"Life needs a man to be fierce-and fiercely devoted. The wounds he will take throughout his life will cause him to lose heart if all he has been trained to be is soft."
~John Eldridge
My wrestling coach is one of the coaches/teachers for some off-campus wrestling club. This is a quote posted on their website!
*I think I'm too 'soft' a guy... especially with this extened break...fat and lazy...^^ Find the will to work, the will to move, the will to pump iron, whatever. Discipline. But it's sooo easy to procrastinate! Heh. Like Christmas/B-day presents, like working and working out.
*You guys hear about Israel/Palestine? Clicked a news ticker and... reading, watching the msnbc slideshow... damn, I'm thinking. How different a life those Gaza strip ppls live, right? 'Fierce'. Compared to meh.

""My son is gone, my son is gone," wailed Said Masri, a 57-year-old shopkeeper, as he sat in the middle of a Gaza City street, slapping his face and covering his head with dust from a bombed-out security compound nearby. He said he had sent his 9-year-old son out to purchase cigarettes minutes before the airstrikes began and could not find him. "May I burn like the cigarettes, may Israel burn," Masri moaned. "

There's also that LA 'rampage' stuff. And just... damn... the news can get depressing. x] The kids are a 'lil... sober, right now...x]
*hugs* From Preston, 'cause he's realizing just how much he misses y'all...xD Partly from this gaza pic slideshow I'm scanning and also having watched Wall.E for like third time... [second, 'cause I went w/ my brothers, third 'cause my mom rented it, wanted to watch it]. For anyone who hasn't, it's a sweet movie...'cute...x] I'm a guy, what am I supposed to say?

'Fierce' and 'fiercely devoted'...Huh. But can you love 'fiercely,' or is being fierce just about glaring and being macho? *muses* 'MANLY'....xD Oh wow... I remember Mr. Black having the perfect voice... describing, what, Romans? The Roman value of MANLINESS. And how what's-his-name from the Aneid was totally MANLY. [or a jerk]
SLUSH/ICE!
Anyways... happy post.... holidayssss !!!!!!! ^^
See some of you soon, 'aight?

77 merry christmas/happy holidays, ‚s and ƒs
e for everyone, i hope ^^
Y you all :3

School tomorrow?

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I hope not.

[Edit]
NO SCHOOL TMRW!

gLoMp!

:D
Bonnie needs to change the little thingy-ma-bob that pops up in the box!
Break is here!
(Well, for me at least. You guys have a coupla of days to go. Do a snow dance! I did one, and it worked :) )
So what is everyone planning to do for break?
Stay here?
Not stay here?
(Lol.)
Family coming?
Anything planned?
Who here celebrates? (I hope everyone celebrates New Year's, at least. :l )

Tralalah!
I am seriously like, bored out of my mind.
I'm at my dad's in Bellevue (...Eastgate, I think it's called...) && I've been stuck in the freaking house for 4 days.
-___-
My dad has like, no driving skills.
Serio.
I can't wait to get my hands on that steering wheel >D
I've got a countdown!
Only 297 days before I'm 15!
Bwahahah!
People-on-streets beware, I'm going to raise your insurance prices XPPP

I'm being such a dyslexic psycho. I think I spelled that wrong.
...
I'm doing stuff like "I physiced by finish homework" (really, I said that) and when I type I keep doing stuff like "whell" instead of "wheel" -___-
And I keep flipping the first letters of words!
Yesterday I did it TWICE.
I was like, "here Derek, I'll open the bereal cox for you" and later in the day, I said "I pinished fracticing piano already!"
-___-

-phail-
-phailphailphails.-
:l
.__.;
Sorry about the faces overload in the post, I'm a little whee~ right now.

Right-o.
So back again, what are you guys doing for winter break?
Toodles!

Amanders has a question for you!

WHAT HAVE YOU ALL BEEN DOING
in this LOVELY

SNOW?!

:D

harhar i accidentally posted this on my other blog and then deleted it. :P

[ ]day

Blergh.
Break is over.
Yeah, but we had a snow day!
But ['least over here] IT DIDN'T SNOW.
xD Total irony! Not really a snowday, then.
All the schools close and nothing much happens ^^
So:

What do you think? [Good-day] [Bad-day]?
and
How'd you spend today? [wednes-day] ['snow-day']?

No real snowmen and snow forts, right? Though some random guys did bring a sled the last time us Newport-ers were at school... three guys flying/tumbling down this huge faintly snowy hill, and one of 'em even tried to 'snowboard'... 'epic failll'...xD One of those 'AFV' moments... and I think some guy even crashed into a [parked] car...x]
Here's the stupid part... the hill was right above the parking lot, and [moving] cars literally had to stop this one time as one of the sled-ers slid to a stop in the middle of a crosswalk ^^

Tip: WARNING: DO NOT use a sled as a snowboard, as any minor bump or just plain speeding up may cause falling off, headache, bruises, and public humiliation... a plain good laugh with friends...^^ I wanna try that someday...

HEY! BONNIE HAS A QUESTION FOR YOU!

Has the Goose dropped the Egg?

(This is the part you reply with random anecdotes or wise adages. MICHAEL!)

Name: Mitch? I think that's what it is...at least last time I checked...
Location: Seattle, where it's cold and not very sunny...and we only have like 2 seasons...
What's your favorite winter-song? Let It Snow and Joy to the World
What are you going to do over break? Going to Cancun... it's gonna be so warm and nice... I've never been to Mexico before, but after this trip I'll have been to every country in North America =D. Awesomeeee
What do you want for THE [politically correct] HOLIDAYS? What I WANT is an electronic drumset. My neighbors have been complaining about me playing in the evening, so I've had to practice earlier. But I realized how amazing it would be to have an electronic one. I could play along with my music without turning the music up loud and I could play whenever I wanted for as long as I wanted, cuz I wouldn't be worrying about waking up anyone. But those are really expensive =\ and I don't think my rents would buy me one and I'm super broke. GOW2 though? haha
AND,
HOW ARE THE KIDS? School is killing them... and some people are def. annoying them... and they just wish Break would hurry up and come =D. Happy Holidays everyone!

I'M WRITING A DICTIONARY/THESAURUS.

I is excited. xDDDD

[Read my blog if you don't understand... haha.]

I have a piano recital tonight.
*hyperventilate*
No time to type anything else ~

Twilight was actually good, if you don't compare it to the books, that is.
When Edward got on the screen I was like "Oh god." But it grows on you... he's not THAT bad by teh end of it haha.
But seriously, I was going to cry when I saw Jacob DDD:
Like no joke, you should have seen Stephanie & her friends (they were laughing at me xD)...
I was like DYING. Taylor Lautner looks freakish in it ):
He still does look attractive. He just looked extremely attractive in that one scene where all his HAIR (ugh) was up in the hood (lol!) when they were @ La Push beach. But. With the hair, it's like omgomgomg tell me this isn't happening x.x'
And Carlisle was... a lot paler than I expected hahaha.
But anywhoo! Back to piano. >.>

Love You Forever

Love You Forever
by Robert Munsch

A mother held her new baby and very slowly rocked him back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. And while she held him, she sang:

I'll love you forever,

I'll like you for always,

As long as I'm living

my baby you'll be.

The baby grew. He grew and he grew and he grew. He grew until he was two years old, and he ran all around the house. He pulled all the books off the shelves. He pulled all the food out of the refrigerator and he took his mother's watch and flushed it down the toilet. Sometimes his mother would say, "this kid is driving me CRAZY!"
But at night time, when that two-year-old was quiet, she opened the door to his room, crawled across the floor, looked up over the side of his bed; and if he was really asleep she picked him up and rocked him back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. While she rocked him she sang:

I'll love you forever,

I'll like you for always,

As long as I'm living

my baby you'll be.

The little boy grew. He grew and he grew and he grew. He grew until he was nine years old. And he never wanted to come in for dinner, he never wanted to take a bath, and when grandma visited he always said bad words. Sometimes his mother wanted to sell him to the zoo!
But at night time, when he was asleep, the mother quietly opened the door to his room, crawled across the floor and looked up over the side of the bed. If he was really asleep, she picked up that nine-year-old boy and rocked him back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. And while she rocked him she sang:

I'll love you forever,

I'll like you for always,

As long as I'm living

my baby you'll be.

The boy grew. He grew and he grew and he grew. He grew until he was a teenager. He had strange friends and he wore strange clothes and he listened to strange music. Sometimes the mother felt like she was in a zoo!
But at night time, when that teenager was asleep, the mother opened the door to his room, crawled across the floor and looked up over the side of the bed. If he was really asleep she picked up that great big boy and rocked him back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. While she rocked him she sang:

I'll love you forever,

I'll like you for always,

As long as I'm living

my baby you'll be.

That teenager grew. He grew and he grew and he grew. He grew until he was a grown-up man. He left home and got a house across town. But sometimes on dark nights the mother got into her car and drove across town. If all the lights in her son's house were out, she opened his bedroom window, crawled across the floor, and looked up over the side of his bed. If that great big man was really asleep she picked him up and rocked him back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. And while she rocked him she sang:

I'll love you forever,

I'll like you for always,

As long as I'm living

my baby you'll be.

Well, that mother, she got older. She got older and older and older. One day she called up her son and said, "You'd better come see me because I'm very old and sick." So her son came to see her. When he came in the door she tried to sing the song. She sang:

I'll love you forever,

I'll like you for always...

But she couldn't finish because she was too old and sick. The son went to his mother. He picked her up and rocked her back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. And he sang this song:

I'll love you forever,

I'll like you for always,

As long as I'm living

my Mommy you'll be.

When the son came home that night, he stood for a long time at the top of the stairs. Then he went into the room where his very new baby daughter was sleeping. He picked her up in his arms and very slowly rocked her back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. And while he rocked her he sang:

I'll love you forever,

I'll like you for always,

As long as I'm living

my baby you'll be.

Today is awesome because it is snowing.

Name: What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.
Location: Never Never Land.
What's your favorite winter-song? Silver Bells, Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree, Jingle Bell Rock, Let It Snow, umm...David Archuleta's songs because his album was released in winter....so they count, right?
What are you going to do over break? I am going to celebrate the holidays. Hopefully Ani or someone will have a partay! And we can make gingerbread houses and roast chestnuts on an open fire and rock around the Christmas tree and deck the halls with boughs of holly and have ourselves a merry little Christmas.
What do you want for THE [politically correct] HOLIDAYS? From Santa: Tanks, jeans, scarves, shoes, stamps, arts+crafts stuff, The Tales of Beedle the Bard or any book I might read, socks, pencils/erasers, munneh, a new phone maybe? Or at least a new plan. Any gift cards for Bellevue Square, a WEBCAM!!! From you: A Christmas carol, unless you're Jewish or something else, and socks. Because I highly doubt my mom/Santa will spend money on any more socks.
Also, I would love to host a ice skating party. If I do, you should come! I'll dazzle everyone with my incredible figure skating abilities while everyone else hobbles around like baby birds on the slick ice :P
AND,
HOW ARE THE KIDS?
Excited to perform at the nursing home. Most of them have agreed to dance, but the few rebellious ones absolutely refuse and it's getting tiring trying to convince them. La...uren, particularly, is too stubborn for her own good. If she can play piano and accompany us while we're singing, then great! But if she can't play the music, she might as well make herself useful and dance with us.

Decembre

C'est la 12e mois de l'annee!

It's the 12th month of the year!

Name: Mike-al

Location: The North Pole

Favorite Winter Song: Jingle Bells!

Over the Break: I wish I could go somewhere like Hawaii, but I guess not... Probably just gonna chill at my house, maybe hang out with some friends. Christmas party get-together, anyone? 

What I want for Christmas: Believe it or not, I'm actually undecided right now. Any suggestions?

*coughcoughahugfrombonniemaybecoughcough*

The Kids: 

They're cool. Super super excited about the break. But they're kinda worried about the Ap World packet and the test that's coming. There's also the speech, but I'm pretty sure that shouldn't be too big of a deal.  Michael had to tell a story in his French class today, and I thought it was pretty interesting.

Short summary:

So there's this guy named Rick, and he really likes this girl named Jackie. But, she doesn't know he exists cuz he's never talked to her. One day, Jackie's best friend, Sarah, tells Rick that Jackie is really into guys who are good at ping-pong. And that's a serious problem. Why? Because Rick has NEVER played ping-pong. So, he decided to go to his school's ping-pong club. He started to play a game against another boy... and he lost. Rick couldn't even hit the ball once. Rick's friend, Mick, was there too. He saw Rick play the game of ping-pong, and he couldn't stop laughing. Mick told Rick that if he wanted to impress Jackie, he had some serious work to do. But, Mick decided to help with Rick's training. After about 2 weeks, Rick was ready to head back to the ping-pong club. He started another match, against the same boy who he'd lost to. This time, Rick won! Jackie saw Ricks victory, and she was filled with surprise. She asked Rick to teach her some of his ping-pong skizzles.  They became good friends, and after a few months Rick mustered up the courage to ask Jackie out. THE END.

Booyah.

I know, it's such a touching story *sniff* (go Rick!)

I know you're all very impressed by Michael's complex, not-last-minute story.

Piano lesson's been moved to Tuesday! That means Friday nights are now open! Izz niiice! (Borat style)

My December soundoff

Name: Dennis aka Dentist lol.
This one guy in robotics was like "I have to go to a dentist apointment now" and I was like whattt? why would you need to go to a dennis appointment so yea .

Location:In a grave (dead from lack of sleep)

What's your favorite winter-song? Sliegh ride ftw! lol I love that song its such a classic (what's up with these fonts they keep screwing up?)

What are you going to do over break? IM GOING TO HAWAIIII YEAAAA lol Im ditching mitch because we were all originally all going to cancun but now I'm going to hawaii with like Andrew sun and alot of other ppl. Mitch is going to cancun with Helen. He's going with Eva and Diana also (you prob dun know them) Sooo annoying so yea. Good luck surviving mitch =D

What do you want for THE [politically correct] HOLIDAYS? I want...Eve Online =D
lol and a happy holiday for everyone

AND, HOW ARE THE KIDS? They are dieing from being over stressed and homeworked. The teachers should really learn how to co-ordinate their assignments its killing me. (plus I get home at like 930 every day from swimming, that might be a factor also)
oh the kids also got slaughtered yesterday at the swim meet 106-74 (I got last in a varsity relay =D) It wasn't my fault i swear

*claps*

Name?
Yes. I have one.

Location?
Home. Away from school. Yay.

What's your favorite winter-song?
I don't have a favorite. Don't ask me for one.

What are you going to do over break?
Eat. Sleep. Visit people!

What do you want for THE [politically correct] holidays?
Politically correct? What? I dislike political correctness. It's all silly euphemisms for labels and groups and identities that do not require euphemisms! It's just like calling a blind person "visually handicapped." Pfft! A lot of blind people never had vision to begin with! Insensitive mislabeling much? Also handicapped denotes that blindness is some sort of obstacle they must overcome. Are they advocating to get all blind people eye surgery?

*cough*

I would like money because I will be broke after I splurge on christmas shopping and I already feel broke even though i am not because I bought all that candy to make me feel better about the finals which are finally over.
I would also like some spray paint so I can practice graffiti lettering.
And a new camera that has shake neutralizing functions and more memory capacity. Some people failed at taking pictures. It was one of the few pictures I was ever in and it was blurry! Oh wait... that wasn't this year. I still want a better camera though.

How are the kids?
Relieved. Very. Two more quarters to go.

Better In Time

It's been the longest winter without you
I didn't know where to turn to
See somehow I can't forget you
After all that we've been through

Going coming thought I heard a knock
Who's there no one
Thinking that I deserve it
Now I realize that I really didn't know
If you didn't notice you meant everything
Quickly I'm learning to love again
All I know is I'm gon' be ok

Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too
It'll all get better in time
Even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to
It'll all get better in time

I couldn't turn on the TV
Without something there to remind me
Was it all that easy
To just put aside your feelings

If I'm dreaming don't wanna laugh
Hurt my feelings but that's the path
I'll be living
And I know that time will heal it
If you didn't notice boy you meant everything
Quickly I'm learning to love again
All I know is I'm gon' be ok

Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too
It'll all get better in time
Even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to
It'll all get better in time

Since there's no more you and me
It's time I let you go
So I can be free
And live my life how it should be
No matter how hard it is I'll be fine without you
Yes I will

Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too
It'll all get better in time
Even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to
It'll all get better in time

Another soundoff?

Moo. Too lazy~

Mitch is freaking out over college stuff... Cai is being hecka bored. And Andia is trying to get herself to hate guys (that that will ever happen). I <3 my kids.

I know right? D8


Name: Nuz Nuzzy Nuzai.
Location: On the Cobra Starship.
What's your favorite Winter-song: All of them. Seriously. I love christmas songs xDD
What are you going to do over the break? Going to Vancouver for a week! More family = more prezzies! Yay!
What do you want for the [politically-correct but not as exciting-sounding] HOLIDAYS?! Giftcards. XD Seriously, I'm so easy to shop for. iTunes, Barnes & Noble, Bell-Square...giftcards are loooove <3
How are the kids?!
MINDLESS
LIKE A CHILD?!
Sorry, had to do that. Song lyrics xD

In the meadow we can build a snowman...

Name: Ivy !(:
Location: Way up in the clouds.
What's your favorite winter-song? Winter Wonderland. <3
What are you going to do over the break? I'm probably going to Las Vegas for a bit (timeshare), and then coming home and wishing for snow. I guess I'll hang out with the friends who are... well, in town, I guess. And then I'll need to catch up on some sleep. I'll just bask in the amazing-ness of holiday season. It's the best time of the year to me. I love all the happiness and how everyone is walking around in scarves/hats smiling with rosy cold cheeks. :) It's something that makes me smile and warms my heart.
What do you want for the [politically-correct but not as exciting-sounding] HOLIDAYS?! Hm. I'm not asking for much. I wanted unlimited texting reallyreally badly, but I guess I won't really need it as much anymore, eh? >.> Nothing much. Skinny jeans to go with my Uggs. That's really it. I'm not so hot with lots of gifts, because I'm a relatively picky person. How about a raincheck to go shopping with my mom later during sales? That sounds good.
How are the kids?! Not very happy with herself. She's ready to just curl up in her bed and sleep for two days straight. She knows she did the right thing, and there are no regrets. Yet, she watches him hurt. And she can't stand it. She's dying here, as she sees the pain she's causing him. It's pretty sad, actually. Next time you see her you should slap her. But anyway. Um, she's hoping time will make it better. The highlight of her day was to talk to him, for just those ten seconds, to treasure them, and have a glimmer of hope. It seems he's not as devastated as he was before. She's thankful for that. She's wishing for time to be merciful. She's missing him, and feeling relatively retarded (but no, she doesn't regret), but she knows it's part of the process. On the other hand, she's relatively scared about the whole synthesis essay and AP World Unit Two exam to be on the same day. And she has a piano lesson tonight, but she's still procrastinating. How upsetting. But she hasn't got much of the essay done because she was very dead yesterday. So she knows she needs to focus a ton. And tomorrow she has an orthodontist appointment & class office meeting. In other words, she's screwed. She'd better not fail at life! But she's excited for the English group project because she has a good group :) She's with Mitch and Michael Lee! Oh, and she would like to tell everybody at Interlake to go to the Winter Dance! (Although she's not quite sure she can make it herself. But it is her duty as Vice President to encourage people to go.) She's freakishly excited for the holidays. She wants snow. She wants to put on a jacket because she's cold. She's sorry for the novel she just wrote.

December Soundoff--Theresa

Yes, break is over.
Dude! First soundoff ('cept Ani, of course) unless somebody finishes before me.
-twitches-
Right.
Anyways...

Name: Theresa. :)
Location: Home.
Favorite Winter Song: Jingle Bells (fsho, man.)
Over Break: I'm going to California for the whole 2 weeks to visit my cousins and go skiing, hopefully. Tahoe on XMas day! (Only day left with room x.x;)
Christmas List: I actually really want a pair of boots. I'm going to try and pull the 'Christmas gift!' thing on my parents, and hope one of them agrees to pay for the $130 boots ;P
How Are The Kids?: I really don't like this question, because it's a question mark then a colon, and it's ugly. ... Right. Anyways, the kids are fine. Theresa's suffering from growing pains (I mean like, what the heck? Where is this coming from?) but is otherwise happier (er!) than a clam. What now. She just got her hair cut (finally) too, so she's a bit high. Not that it looks good any more, now that she washed it. How lame. She has evil (well, not really) plans to write a hugee list of resolutions this year, and not go through with any. That iss the point of resolutions, isn't it?
She also knows that it isn't politically correct to color her post in alternating red and green, but doesn't care because the colors look pretty together. What is hannakah (okay, she sucks at spelling) colored, anyways? Holidays, she thinks, must be shades of blue. She doesn't know why. But that's like, Interlake colored. And she's not Interlake-oriented. So she can't do that. Maybe if she throws in a dash of neon orange it will throw them off. Perhaps.
Not quite neon, but I'm sure this will do. Anita's gingerbread house idea sounds amazing...Theresa's cousins probably won't like it. They're meaniebutts who play Halo 3 all day long and laugh at her and crack perverted jokes about the randomest things. Oh well, she loves them anyways. Kind of.
Winter speaks of candy canes (which Theresa doesn't actually like that much, except sharpening them into points is kind of fun), ice skating, skiing (of course, and snowboarding is not a part of winter because it's evil D<), hot chocolate, cinnamon, twinkling and colorful lights, and the scent of freshly chopped trees. You see, Christians are truly the source of global warming because their vicious tree-chopping is causing deforestation and an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in the air blahblahblah...
Huh, never thought about it that way before. That's a good point. The moral of the story is to buy synthetic, plastic trees, and tree-scented perfume to pull off the beauty of a real tree, without any of the planet-damaging effects. Beautiful plan, isn't it? And if you want it to be reallyyy realistic, buy a really cheap plastic tree so it sheds all over your carpet, just like a real one :)
Okay, Theresa is done. Happy Holidays! Well, that's actually in three weeks, but early is better than late, isn't it? Of course.
Toodles.

Not a creature was stirring

EXCEPT ANITA BECAUSE SHE IS MOST DEFINITELY NOTTT A MOUSE.

Finally, a soundoff that's actually on the first day of the month! First in a while..

Name:
Location:
What's your favorite winter-song?
What are you going to do over break?
What do you want for THE [politically correct] HOLIDAYS?
AND, HOW ARE THE KIDS?

Name: Ay, en, eye, tee, ayy. =D Anita!
Location: sinking into the depths of misery. THE AP WORLD EXAM IS ONLY IN *counts on fingers* SIX MONTHS. Less than that? more than that? something like that. *nervous twitch*
What's your favorite winter-song? Anita lufflufflufffffsss THE TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS. And likes I'll Be Home for Christmas. *scratches head* That's all Christmas songs. I like Santa Claus is coming to Town.
Darn, that's also Christmas-y. Uh, Jingle Bells? =D
What are you going to do over break?: Uh...Sleep. Ackshually probly not. What a waste of time xP
Read books [remind me to raid the library the week before]
MAKE GINGERBREAD HOUSES *hops up and down*
Probably have an Asian party with some random people. *nods* And bother Emily and everything. We're not ackshually going anywhere though =/
What do you want for THE [politically correct] HOLIDAYS?: all I want for Christmas is my two front teethhh
'Cept they already fell out, so I'll settle for my back ones.
I also want ice cream, a penguin, and a box of fairy dust.
AND I WANT FUZZY STICKERS. FUZZY STICKERS = AMAZING. Adorable pencils = super amazing.
Except for Christmas I usually get underwear and washcloths. That's really depressing. And utilitarian. At least i don't get like, nail clippers or tissues. =D
AND, HOW ARE THE KIDS?
MY KIDS ARE REALLY HAPPY BECAUSE THEIR GRADES ARE NOT FAILING.
One of them really wants to strangle her English teacher, but the oldest one has thus far managed to restrain her. It's quite a struggle, though.
The youngest guy wants it to snow. Reallyreallyreally badly. The youngest daughter wantsa MAKE GINGERBREAD HOUSES while the second youngest guy just wants to squeeze icing all over everyone else and eat all their candy.
One of the girls is constantly singing Christmas carols right now. It's interesting. Alsoalso, they're all partying 'cuz there's
barely
any
homework
hah.
And therefore, at least one of them should be being productive, but all they wanna do is lie around and make jokes at each other =]


Just a thought; I have finished like 8 of my 239 New Year's Resolutions for 2008 xPPP
Maybe I'll be better next yearrr? x]

HAPPY [HOLIDAYS] TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!
:]

Update, because there hasn't been one in a while.

Okay
Revert to normal colors, fonts, privacy setting....

What did you buy for Black Friday?
We got...

• 3 scarves from Fuego...
• 2 pants and 2 tanks...
• a dress...
• a Columbia jacket for daddy...
• some memory stick from Costco

I have a violin recital today. I know Anita and Pei do to! (But maybe their's is over by now...)

I'm nervous. Kinda. Maybe I'm just hyperventilating a little cuz the belt on my shirt is a little bit constricting. Not that I'm fat or anything, but it looks better when everything is tucked into place, even if it is a little bit uncomfortable.

I watched Bolt and Australia and Get Smart (which was hilarious) this weekend. Yay for movies!

Benny and Ivy, I hope you're having fun watching Twilight!

Pei and Ani, good luck on your recitals!

Helen, Dennis, Eric, Katie, Michael, Mitchell, Larry, and Teresa...Frankenstein essay? I haven't started...but nothing's due tomorrow right? ^^ And history test? Haven't started studying that either...I tend to overindulge in free time during breaks.

Anita--CALL/EMAIL/IM ME. Nursing home. BLAH.

See you guys soon!

:D

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE.

ILY <3

well, most of u....


Amanders teh Seal is out [to eat turkey]--!

Twilight Gathering

"*Gobblegobblegobble*
Excited for Turkey day?
;)"
LOL, these labels are ADORABLE.
:DD
I'm not exactly excited...turkey is nasty...I think we're going to buy an already-cooked chicken from Costco or something, and pretend that it's Turkey. LOL!

Anyways, here's news for you guys:
Twilight, December 6th, 4:30 PM at Lincoln Square?
I'm sure a lot of you are planning to see Twilight soon, but it'd be a great opportunity. :D
Anyone interested? And if you are, feel free to invite non-ms PRISMies too, so we get to know each other more, I suppose.

CRAPCRAPCRAP it's the 7th, not the 6th!!
Sunday, not Saturday!
Pleaseplease comment if you read this!

Umm...!

Haha.
Bonnie messed around with the colors
cuz she felt like it...
(it was random)

Gonna leave this up for like...a little while.
Then I'll revert back to the old colors.

Just thought you guys should know, so that you won't start freaking out about the layout. lol x]

X_X

According to my dad, I'm grounded for the rest of the year.
Because:
-My Chemistry test score...
-Not having ANY curiosity within school subjects
-Doing all my homework "mechanically" without thought
-Not having interest in asking questions
-Wasting too much time
-Not being focused.

They're thinking of taking my iPod away too.
Holy shit.
[Excuse the language, but I find it appropriate here.]
I think I'm so freaked that I can't even type in capitals and use exclamation marks.

Wow, today was probably the shittiest day ever.
No joke.
At the moment I also have another huge problem to deal with. And I want to get that over with.
And I could like, seriously, just get out of this house and walk to understand what the hell is going on in life.
But, I won't, because it's pitch black and I'd prolly freeze to death.
And I wouldn't get my work done.
And a circle would be created.

What a great way to end the day.
Just fucking great.

Noviembre

... means 'November' in Spanish just in case...=]
Now, Don't that sound beautiful and poetic and eternal. Something about fall season, leaves turning and fluttering to the ground, trees bursting into to color like fire, about waiting and cloudiness and autumn chill through pattering rain on a great blanket of leaves smothering the ground.

Anyways... *dotdotdot* SOUNDOFFFFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
xD
A guys needs a break every once in a while...^^
Anyways.


Name: Cao Cao
I remember.... back in Mr. Black's class... [ahhh... the good 'old days] xD

Where we were Reading Three Kingdoms, quotes from Three Kingdoms, and Mr. Black was like "For the last time! It's pronounced 'Tsao-Tsao', not 'COW-COW'... and of course, most of us kept saying 'Cow' cuz either we were too stupid, having too much fun, or 'cow' just got stuck in our heads...^^

Favorite type of Weather: Hmm....x] Sunny but a touch of bleak fall cloud-ness...warm enough so that you're not shivering, but just enough chill snuck in so you can hug someone "cuz you're warm", tell someone that as an excuse to get close. Yeahhh. Meh...

OHMIGOD CREEPY MESSAGE IS STALKING ME.

Name: Larryy
Location: Desk
Mood: A mood of serenity with my soul having been escalated from the physical world in the midst of music and eternal bliss. no but seriously, bored out of my mind trying to do FRIDAY's hw (not procrastinating)

What is your favorite type of weather?
well i like light showers with wind. in other words when it is "spitting" because you're not being drenched but it's really cleansing and it's highly refreshing. too bad spitting has a negative connotation.

What books are you currently reading?
Frankenstein, which is actually quite interesting
Eragon series (aren't you proud of me Venny? xP)
dumb AP world Bulliet book and the Zumdahl for chem DDD8

What are you thankful for?
having the best friends in the world :]

How are the kids?
well. they've been very high recently, having nearly depleted their supply of halloween candy
they are overusing sarcasm because one of my old acquaintances named DOMINIC keeps using various sarcastic terms, notably 'Maurice,' and setting a bad example.
moreover, they're ecstatic about the trip to taiwan. of course, they're not in high school; they dont know true stress yet. not that many tests in middle school.
they also hold this amazing grudge against a student in their orchestra class named Leo who, according to them, has an inflated ego as well as an arrogant view of his cello skills and academic ability
they also think the fact that acting mature and pretending to have kids is amusing and somewhat ridiculous. obviously this is complete folly; just look at the success of this blog =]

Ishmael

Note: I posted it on my blog but I thought it was pretty important to think about, so I'm posting it here, too.

“Given an expanding food supply, any population will expand. This is true of any species, including the human. The Takers [us, you] have been proving this here for ten thousand years. For ten thousand years they’ve been steadily increasing food production to feed an increased population, and every time they’ve done this, the population has increased still more.”
“Why increase food production?”
“To feed the millions who’re starving.”
“And as you feed them will you extract a promise that they will not reproduce?”
“Well…no, that’s not part of the plan.”
“So what will happen if you feed the starving millions?”
“They’ll reproduce and our population will increase.”
“Without fail. This is an experiment that has been performed in your culture annually for ten thousand years, with completely predictable results. Increasing food production to feed an increased population results in yet another increase in population.”
--
“You’ve seen the ads for sending food to starving peoples around the world?”
“Yes.”
“Have you ever seen ads for sending contraceptives?”
“No.”
“Mother Culture talks out of both sides of her mouth on this issue. When you say to her population explosion she replies global population ctonrol, but when you say to her famine she replies increased food production.”
--
“An increase in food production in Nebraska doesn’t necessarily produce a population increase in Nebraska. It may produce a population increase somewhere in India or Africa.”
“Are you suggesting that First World farmers are fueling the Third World population explosion?”
“Ultimately, who else is there to fuel it?”
--
“You need to take a step back from the problem in order to see it in global perspective. At present there are five and a half billion of you here, and, though millions of you are starving, you’re producing enough food to feed six billion. And because you’re producing enough food for six billion, it’s a biological certainty that in three or four years there will be six billion of you. By that time, however (even though millions of you will still be starving), you’ll be producing enough food for six and a half billion—which means that in another three or four years there will be six and a half billion. But by that time you’ll be producing enough food for seven billion (even though millions of you will still be starving), which again means that in another three or four years there will be seven billion of you. In order to halt this process, you must face the fact that increasing food production doesn’t feed your hungry, it only fuels your population explosion.”

Frightening, isn’t it?
Basically we have to let all these people starve to death, or we have to extract agreements for them not to reproduce. Or for them to reproduce at a constant rate. And we ourselves must follow this rule as well.
This was taken from the book Ishmael by Daniel Quinn.

October Soundoff!

So I wrote a post yesterday at 4:30. And it was a depressing post, but I was writing it anyway. Ya know, for the soundoff. But then, my mom came home. AT FOUR THIRTY. So I had to shut the computer off really fast (I "pulled" the cord out). And of course, the post went away, right? Uh... No. Wrong. I just found it. T.T

"Name: Pie
Location: My little hell hole. It's dark and dreary there (though I believe there's a Wii in the back corner)
Mood: Frustrated. Depressed. Clingy-feeling. Hopeless. Faked. Huggable."

But that was yesterday! So now I have to finish it. -.- I mean, if I hadn't found it, I would've totally skipped it. Feh. So lazy nowadays.

What is your favorite type of weather?
Snow! Or 68 degrees F 'cause it's awesome short-sleeve weather.

How are the kids?
Cairo, the older one, is bored with life. He is bored with school, is bored with Chinese, is bored with violin, is bored (and annoyed) with walking up so many stairs (approx. 48 stair-steps first thing in the morning). He's also bored with regular, plain, milk chocolate. He wants something... darker.
Andria (short for Alexandria), the younger one, on the other hand, is BOY CRAZY! I think she likes this random guy. Like, like him a lot. Silly girl. (she says he is awesomely cute, funny, smart, happiful, huggable, and all that.) I'm waiting for the day when Cairo turns into one of those overprotective brothers (totally not likely).

Presidential Election

Obama won!
It must be pandemonium at Daniel W.'s house.

[For Anita's sake (NOT THAT ANITA IS REPUBLICAN. SHE JUST REQUESTED THAT IT BE FAIR TO THE NON-DEMOCRATS. =D And also Anita didna like either candidate, so there.), and for the sake of being politically correct...]
Obama got more votes than McCain
McCain got less votes than Obama
McCain did not win
Obama did not lose
The evening ended with a victory for Senator, soon-to-be-President Barack Obama with 338 electoral votes and 155 electoral votes for Senator John McCain.

Thoughts?

The 11th month of the year

Booya! Almost holiday season!

Name: Michael/Mike/Dookie

Favorite type of weather: Sunny and warm, but not too warm so you can go outside and play but not end up sweating a lot. A warm or cool breeze wouldn't be bad either.

Books I'm currently reading: Frankenstein, The BIBLE, Harry Potter 6 (slow I know, but I'm trying).

Thankful for: Pretty much everything I have; family, friends, my posessions (not to sound greedy, but I still am thankful that I have them).

*coughcoughandbonniecoughcough*

The kids: Doing great. They were keeping up with the presidential election and just found out that Obama won! They are very excited, and so am I! Goin' out for some fried chicken tonight (lol jk)! That was pretty much the most exciting news today *coughcoughotherthanbonniehuggingmecoughcough*. Been discovering some new music through Dominic. ...uhh... Yeah, thats pretty much it.

the kids are high off too much candy
the kids are pressured from badminton, ywhen it raisearbook, and fps.
the kids are thinking about dropping out of fps cuz theyre going to france and dont wanna pay for individual stuff D:
*sigh*
the kids are living a normal life, in general

Turkeys 'gobble,' right? Is that why they're so pudgy?

Name: Anitahhhhh
Location: Somewhere cold? Like, really, really cold? Without heating? ...'cept not Antarctica, even though that'd be super awesome =D
Mood: Sneezy, happy, and sleepy.
...Oh! and Dopey and Grumpy and Bashful and Doc too x] Of course.
Favorite kind of weather: Sun! warm sun. Like, April/May sun...except not really April sun because it barely suns in April. [I think that should be the verb. 'Suns,' like rains! Except for it's sunning instead of raining. Yeah? Yep.] With a low wind chill factor pleaseee. And Anita especially likes it when the sky is perfectly blue without any clouds because you can just STARESTARESTARE at the sky and all you can see is blue and you can get dizzy and high off the sky. Mmmhmmm. THAT RHYMES
Books: Anita is reading Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger [is required]. The narrator is definitely psychotic. And profane. And strange. And kinda scary. But I know people who are like this, which is even scarier xP
And then Heartbeat. =] It's a very beat up old book because I used to carry it to and from Canada every time we went to visit my cousins, but it's a good book. And has a good list of adjectives =D

Anita is thankful for: Pretty things. Sunrises in the morning while we freeze outside playing soccer when it's still dark. Warm fuzzy feelings. Ice cream! 0.7mm lead. 0.5mm lead. Expo markers. Sharpies. USB sticks. My computer *pats computer*. AP World history textbook EW HOW NERDYY.
Caramel popcorn. Fair trade chocolate. Smiles. Magic wands and butterfly wings. And the internet. Moose. Meese? Mooses. ...yeah. Penguins, definitely! Persimmons =]
People. ...repetitive-ish but yes, you guys. *patpat* *throws candy*
Big warm sweatshirts that make sure she doesna die of frostbite outside when we have to wear shorts and tshirts for PE. Velcro shoes. Cell phone charms. Tortellini. Hot steam when you boil dumplings so that you can stick your hands over the pot and warm them. Highlighters. Printers. And purple hippos.

How ARE the kids?
Super-ultra-extremely-uber-mucho BORED
by the slowness of her classes at Newport. Really. The middle daughter sits in English with sophomores whose lives revolve around some random computer game that's called warcraft...or something? yeah. She realizes that they may not have anything better to do with their lives, but rreallyyyy.
And, their idea of an essay is something like: "I think that Holden's narration is trustworthy because he is always trustworthy in the book. Holden is trustworthy because he does what he says he would do. This shows that Holden is trustworthy. Also, Holden told everyone why he didn't go to the fencing competition. This shows that Holden tells the truth, so he is truthworthy. In conclusions, I think that I can trust Holden because he always does the right thing."
...
...
[Wow, truthworthy isn't even a word]
...
...
-_________-"""
Maybe she just got stuck with the slowest sophomores at Newport. Who knows!
The oldest daughter is extremely confused because her daddy recently 'fixed' her computer. This meant reblocking of many internet sites, switch to Firefox [ahmgah! nowai.], addition of Adobe reader thingy, but deletion of the adobe flash thing, which allowed her to listen to music on the internet. Now it is quite impossible. And since she does not own any songs [oh! except, like, two...] , and isna allowed to use the radio, she is reduced to playing songs over and over and over in her head.
The oldest guy ackshually likes soccer, the sport that his class is doing in PE, which is really strange. Maybe it's because he doesn't mind pain. Meanwhile, though, his alter-ego-twin-person is whining because PEOPLE ARE BRUTAL and he is bruised. The oldest brother pays his alter-ego not ttoo much mind, though.
The youngest guy is bouncing off walls. He's influencing his younger sister. That's probably not a good thing. But they're happy kids, so whateverrrr.
