So I spent basically the entire weekend at Shrewsbury. Working.

wahoo
So I submitted my Penn essay, lost my car keys, owned Wall with a bagel, lost quarterfinals in states, and read a ton of manga all in one week.
Pretty fun times.
Yeah except the losing the car keys part. That wasn’t fun.
Yay I love work! Work = 4.5 hours, 1 hour of which I spent doing homework. I finished my weekend’s homework in one freaking hour. Yaaaaaay productivity.
I can play tennis now! Yay!
I just lost to Ramapo yesterday in three sets. Not a big deal, just that now my tennis season is basically over and if I had played more aggressively in the third set, we would’ve won. Not a big deal. I got as far as I did in states with Kathy as I did last year with Linda.
Not a big deal.

P.S. – 3 more days until Big Bang’s Japanese album!!! YAY NEW SONGS!!!
WTFBBQ
I fail at life. Let me write my college essay in peace. I need to freaking rewrite this freaking essay for Penn and I will be done with my LIFE. Hell yes.
In other news, I BSed the stanford letter to a future roommate for peer editing purposes in Whitten. Yes because I can write it in under twenty minutes and spend the 4 hours prior reading fanfiction. Which explains why I am up at this ungodly hour.
Oh, fanfiction. Thursday it was Soul Eater (BlackStar/Kid WOOO). Friday it was Reborn!. Saturday and Sunday it’s been Digimon.
omg.
daikeru ftw.
OTP for digimon. Encompassing all seasons. Taito is too canon.
…
I need to get a life.
…
8018 woooo!!!

P.S. – What sucks is how half of the fandom for digimon is shit because people who watched the 4kids know shit about spelling, grammar, character development, plot, and proofreading.
P.P.S. – OMG LIKE NINE DAYS LEFT UNTIL BB’S JAPAN ALBUM OMG SIX NEW SONGS OMG OMG OMG.
omfreakinggee!
I only have to rewrite another essay for Penn.
SCORE!
It’s awesome being fourth seed in a state doubles tournament. I get bragging rights. =D
Yay doubles! Yay!
…Yay!
I would be in an even better mood if my leg weren’t hurting like hell. Stupid weak joints.
Oh, and I would also be happier if I hadn’t gained six pounds in the past week…what the fuck. Blame my mom and cooking good tennis snacking food.
Soul Eater
It’s taken me like twenty million bajillion hours to finish this one essay. And I wrote the first two thirds of it in forty mintues. adflksdf.
I decided to rewrite my common app; now it’s no longer about forums, but about tennis! wooo! Now I just have to figure out a way to make me not sound whiny. Which I usually do. Damnit.
I started reading Soul Eater (holy SHIT) and it is fucking amazing. Actually I finished reading Soul Eater. I mean, I’m up-to-date. 52 (monthly) chapters in the span of two days. I win. At failing. T__T; Stupid college essays.
My favorite character HAS to be like…all of them. I really really really REALLY like Soul (because he looks fucking hot in a pinstripe suit), but Death the Kid is pretty cute with his OCD and all. Maka’s chill; she’s a little Mary Sue at times, but she’s awesome in general. Got the whole scythe/athleticism thing going on. Black Star…I have no idea. He’s actually turned into quite the likeable character, after I ignored his voice in the anime and just read the manga. And Tsubaki is pure win. Don’t dig girls, though. Hahahaha. Reference to ongoing joke with Greg Cheng.
But yes. When I first watched episode…one? in May with Rose, I was like wtf this anime kinda fails because it’s really random and these action scenes don’t all flow. w/e. I think now that I read the manga I realize that the entire manga doesn’t match, and I won’t get like half of the terms that they use until like five chapters later. Wait, I still don’t get the terms. Like, soul resonance? What the hell is that?! Who knows.
Too bad there’s like no fanfiction/doujinshi on these dearies. Probably because the fandom is TINY. I guess it’ll be one of those series that I’ll just read and not fangirl over.
…but Soul is seriously attractive for a transfigurating!scythe human boy. Stupid 2-D characters.

omg why
I have spent like 2304982304 hours on this optional essay for penn…and I am only 75% done. what the heck. I have done nothing else this weekend.
Nothing else except, say, win counties for us. Hahahaha. Well technically we weren’t the sole deciding point during counties, but who cares? Our doubles win at life. Beat Carly Graver and Stephanie Albrecht 4-6, 7-5, 6-4. I wasn’t expecting that we would win, but it was a pleasant surprise. I got to eat Chili’s afterwards with the team, which was a lot better time than years past.
I think this year I’m finally starting to enjoy tennis season. I mean, before, for the other three years, I was kinda just like ehhhh because all of the kids were basically super fake and had really stupid conversations so I was just like whatev. But this year I’ve relaxed like super much because I make fun of Caitlin the entire time and she throws grass at me. lawl. It is true. Then we have the whole crazy Russian accent thing going on, not to mention Kathycountry. I have to say our team is a whole lot more insane than it has been in years past.
I’m kind of happy I’m partners with Kathy. Otherwise I wouldn’t be able to crack as many stupid jokes during the match. I mean, if I were with Steph Huang, sure we might be a better doubles pair, but I would probably not have as much fun, because I would just be under pressure to win the entire time.
Come to think of it, last year I never went to three sets. We either won or we lost. lawl. This year HAS been fun.
I wish for luck tomorrow, because we’re going to need it. The Balsamo’s aren’t going to go down so easily. Neither is 1st doubles a second time.

DBSK? Big Bang?
Since there have been so many comments about DBSK sweeping all of the end of the year awards ever since their comeback like…three days ago, I guess I might as well address this issue instead of doing college essays (godDAMNIT).
From what I’ve read on allkpop.com and popseoul.com…
Big Bang fan: Go BB. DBSK is overrated. They’re pretty boys. They don’t even compose their own songs. Not my type of music.
DBSK fan: What the hell?! DBSK can actually sing! All Big Bang members are ugly as fuck. And DBSK has difficult choreography, while BB dances are too simple. The only thing BB has is catchy hits. That’s it; they have no vocal range, charisma, maturity, sense of fashion, unity, etc.
Neutral bystander: DBSK’s been around for five years, and casseopians are insane. VIPs, on the other hand, need to get their game on. netizens are hardcore.
imo Big Bang – might I say it? – is going to lose. It’s not even a freaking contest, but everyone’s making it into one. What I don’t like is how DBSK casseopians insist that just because DBSK is going to win, that automatically implies that Big Bang sucks at life and should go die in a ditch.
