The weekend so far

I was going to watch Watchmen on Friday night with Horace and Greg but that ended up falling through…something about fear of not getting tickets in time. So we went to Chili’s at 6:30.

Er. THEY went to Chili’s at 6:30. I got there at like 7, due to me being paranoid and calling the cops on the poor lady who came to our house to pick up her kid from dancing lessons, which we didn’t even have on Friday. Oh, awkward and lack of communication. In any case, it made for a great story to tell. =DDDDD

After Chili’s (and much bickering over the bill), went to Horace’s house to watch a movie: Oceans Eleven. OKAY I don’t know why I fell asleep within the first fifteen minutes (it was a GOOD MOVIE, damn), but I did. So I ended up sleeping for the rest of the movie…then going home. Hah. Yeah. Um.

Basically the only thing I did after I got home on Friday was sleep. Sleep until 10am Saturday. Best sleep this year. Woke up, fed Mochi, went to the bank, went to get breakfast for myself (woot Holmdel Bagel shop), decided to go route 35 all the way to Shrewsbury…why? I don’t even know. It seemed like a good idea at the time. Regardless, took ten minutes more than I should have getting to work. Still managed to get to work on time.

Spent the majority of work texting and calling to tag along with Kev to go see Watchmen that night with Kevin Li and Mike Choie. Good time. Didn’t do like half of my homework, but whatever. Got home at 6:22, fed Mochi, checked Caltech (score!), zoomed upstairs to take the quickest shower of my life, left the house at 6:38. Baller.

Watched Watchmen (looooool no pun intended). It was pretty good, I guess…I think reading the comic beforehand kinda ruined it for me but kinda improved it for me at the same time. Like, I understood the comic a lot more (until the very end, where the movie kinda completely deviates from the comic), and it was all good. I still think Janey Slater should’ve been hotter. But she wasn’t. And the Nite Owl was a doof. Veidt looked like Mr. Kinch for the first half of the movie, then he affected a crazy accent from who-knows-where. Rorschach was awesome…but that’s because he is awesome. Like awesome awesome. Yes.

Yeah, the movie was such bad end. I think that sort of bad end only works in a comic book…sigh. It was kind of amusing to step back from the scene where the Nite Owl and Janey “make love” in the friggin owl!ship and realize…wow, the guy can only get an erection from wearing his costume. Needs to get a life.

I’d give it like…8.35/10. It was good, but not like OHHHH MY GADDDDDD like The Dark Knight was. Or Transformers, or Ironman. lol.

Anyway, I need to spent the next three hours working my butt off and finishing my damn Italian project. Which I haven’t started yet. Bahhhhhhhh.

Got into Cornell, too! =D I’m feeling kinda blagh right now because I’m probably going to turn into the person who, after not getting into their early, applies to a bunch of good colleges and gets into all of them, thereby taking away spots from other potentially good Holmdel kids. Goddamn.

productivity?! that’s independent of inflation!

I’ve been immensely productive within the past two hours because I’ve just been bangin’ out these econ outlines. Even though we’re only supposed to read the chapter. Alas, I have yet to write my PRS, study for Psych, rewrite (again) my UC essays, etc etc etc.

But who cares?! I’ve finished doing my seniors shirt and it looks awesomely pro. Just have to find those yellow ghetto pants I thought I used to have. Oh well I guess I could wear my basketball pants tomorrow lawlawlawl. Yay rapstar day lol. I need to learn how to tie a bandana. =P

Powderpuff! I think I’m most definitely starting for runningback; Serena, Paula and I are first string runningbacks together, so we’ll just rotate and stuff.

btw I’m absolutely pro at running; I just suck at catching so badly.

Got tackled really badly on Friday (what happened to flag football?) so at tennis on Saturday, serving hurt like a mofo. Oh well, it feels/seems/looks like a bruise; good thing it’s not tendonitis or anything.

Cut work to go to powderpuff. Badass. Well just kidding; I told Ally to cover for me and work an extra two hours.

Told Lucas and Ally at work yesterday about the history behind the nickname of Paco. Ally just lol’ed. Actually, I found Lucas on facebook! lol connections lol.

‘Kay back to work.

I have to wake up early tomorrow and get some baked goods from A&P/other place! =0 ‘Cause I forgot there was a lit mag bakesale tomorrow. Whoops. That’s…not a big deal. …Not really. kthx.

I AM UP-TO-DATE WITH EYESHIELD 21. I DON’T EVEN KNOW ANYMORE. xD; college essay-writing + overload of homework = sleep late + overload of comics. But wow Hiruma seriously owns my life. He’s my favorite character by FAR in the series, and he’s the worse drawn (next to Kurita, but Kurita’s fat so he can’t be drawn any other way).

I started reading P2! Let’s Play Pingpong! just because the main character is SOOOO CUTE!!!!! XD XD XD XD XD XDDD yay for shounen manga that’s shorter than 2039423 volumes! Yay 56 chapters! Yay!

Mitigating factor: it’s in TRADITIONAL Chinese! woot!

Lee Hyori is soooooooooo HOT!!!: http://popseoul.com/2008/11/22/lee-hyori-does-london/#more-34695

I am totally straight and all of you stalker readers out there know it.

omfg I really have to finish these UC essays. They’re killing me. I mean I spent like four days on one and I have totally only finished…half of it. Ugh wtf. I have SUCH bad procrastination with this app T__T I guess I’ll just make the first essay super pro and then the second one like eh. Probably going to go with the 750 word limit for one and 250 for the other.

We got a kitten!!!!!!! Read the rest of this entry »

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!!!

in a fangirling mood

So I decided that I would finish all of my homework today, that way I could just focus all of tomorrow on college essays: mainly, writing my optional for upenn and editing/rewording/rewriting all of my other common app etc. essays. ‘Twill be good times.

But what I ended up doing today instead of doing homework was fangirling….like omg lawlawlawlawl. I still have like three radio shows left to watch, but I learned that Seung Ri is apparently the most mature of the group laaawl what a loner.

Ha. Caitlin is so silly. Not like the black song.

School is going okay. I’m glad to see I’m not failing Physics. Although apparently I will fail math, because 90-40 = 60. It’s okay; I can use a calculator next time laaawl. I also got silly mistakes, but 93 overall, which is fine by me.

…I want to watch all of the KM Idol series (4 eps on big bang). It’s okay. I’ll wait. For um…time. Maybe like two weeks, then I’ll be fine.

I downloaded Cherry Filter and they are AMAZING. Korean alternative rock band, strong female vocals (NOTHING like Paramore), emotion pouring out through every chord and every beat. Wow I can’t believe how old this group is; like 6 years old? Still going strong. Gotta love them.

Work is going good. I actually LOVE working at shrewsbury. It like makes my day.

Okay no more because I’m talking on gchat. laaawl.

fairly subtraction

I’ve actually been able to do a lot of work for the past three days, partially due to my internet at home completely blowing out so I completed one (ONE!) college essay for penn, which I’ve firmly decided to be my early decision. Chances are I’m not going to get in, but it’s good to hope anyway. I mean I really really REALLY want to go to Wharton 1. because environmental analysis and management sounds really awesome, 2. because it’s an Ivy League, 3. because of future career much, 4. because I don’t want to worry about the rest of senior year.

AP English Summer Assignment Words to the Wise:

Start Now! Set up a reading and writing schedule so that your work is done in
advance. Schedule this time on your calendar, and plan to finish your work early.

whoops.

Oh well, thank goodness I’ve only the Growing Up essay left to write. Oh, and one of the psych books, but whatever. Not bad for starting last week.

whoops college essays whoops.

I’ve toned down on the big bang a little bit, but Rose has definitely caught the big bang craze like no other; she’s watched more vids than I have. T__T GD’s D.I.S.C.O pt. 2 was released today; it’s cool, but not as cool as TOP’s. Which obviously proves the significance of my tag.

Ahh only two more free days! T__T Where has this summer gone?! lawlawlawlawlawl.

Oh geez; I also need to make up a design for the ciaociao shirt. Hm. Have to do that before school starts.

Tennis is working its way back slowly into my muscles.

Haha I feel like I’m going to enjoy working at Shrewsbury mucho. Just need to know where everything is. =D

zzz posting

Wow I can’t believe I’ve spent the last five million months not…updating this. Whatever, I guess now’s a better time than before. Well, not really. I’ve been in the habit of keeping a “journal” since like…february, which is probably one, if not of the many, reasons that I haven’t posted. Whatever. Let’s talk about my life.

For the past couple of…days, I’ve been sleeping at 2am because I’ve been catching up on manga to the max. But I really do have to start working on this college application shit. I’ve gotten one essay done, but I haven’t done the…twenty million other essays I have left. Grrr stupid creativity intellectual crap or whatever. But yeah…I think I’ll write something about Andrew Carnegie for the person that inspires me. Because really seriously, he does inspire me. So yeah. Gooooood story.

Maybe I didn’t come back to this for a while because I was so preoccupied sending emails to Horace? Haha because ranting to Horace is the bestttttt thing ever. Well not really. Ugh I wish I was in a foreign country. Well, twelve days left until Japan, eh? =D Also twelve days left until Big Bang’s new album holyyyyyy shit I am SO EXCITED. Like I can’t even contain my excitement. *anticipation*

Possibly the other reason I didn’t update was ’cause I didn’t read anyone else’s blogs for a while…and today I just got around to reading sam’s and kevhsu’s (whom I didn’t even know had a blog but whatever). Haha why do I associate so well with guys? Who knows. Like I have my share of female friends, too, but…well whatever. It must be because I have no attraction towards anyone in Holmdel our grade so I don’t communicate well with people who HAVE to like someone otherwise they will DIE. Well, not really. omfg Big Bang.

Let’s see, what have I done today?

I FINALLY freaking finished my stupid gay-ass website for Management…which is the stupidest, gay-ass class EVER. Well, it’s not that bad; it’s just like…common sense to the max. Like, “How do you make a decision? HERE ARE SOME STEPS FOR DECISION MAKING GUYS. AND DID YOU KNOW THAT PLANNING IS REALLY IMPORTANT?! LOL” no shit sherlock. Although now I have a paper due next Monday (the 28th) on Purgatory and Paradise in Dante’s Divine Comedy. Which, by the way, is REALLY interesting. Like Christian theology and all that shizz. It’s stuff that like, I’ve always wanted to read and understand, just that it’s kind of awkward asking anyone about how it works. Good thing there’s good ol’ Boethius and his Consolation of Philosophy! Which is such a gay book. Ugh. But wow Dante is totally the man. So crazy symbolism and stuff.

I was planning on writing about how Purgatorio and Paradiso both have strong images of flight and wings, considering that Dante Alighieri is, literally, the “wing bearer.” However, I have yet to finish Paradiso; I still have 28 cantos left zzz. I also have to start reviewing for the damn final, which will be a bitch. I can just feel the bitchiness already, and it’s still 10 days away. Gaugh.

Hopefully I’ll start writing in this more instead of…reading manga 24/7. Because seriously, that’s all I do anymore. It sucks, because it’s not even productive. At least this blog would kind of…emphasize my productivity or writing skills or SOMETHING so at least I could get STARTED with my stupid, freaking ESSAYS. Actually, I think it’s the psychology behind opening Microsoft Word. It’s a bitch, and every time I see it I don’t feel like working anymore. THEREFORE I’ll probably just write all my college essays on this blog lawwwwwwwwlllllllllll. No it isn’t a lawl moment, but that’s okay.

brb while I go do stuff and come back and maybe HOPEFULLY write a Carnegie essay. I mean, ’cause we’ve already written like 2039409329423 essays on history, so this’ll probably be a piece of cake. Mmm cake. Mmm mocha chocolate cream cake. Mmm.

Aughhh I was just kidding about brb because I have to rant about how I kind of miss Holmdel right now. Like I KNOW no one is THERE right now. Well, at least the people that I NORMALLY (and I emphasize normally as in like three or four people) hang out with. “My bests <3″ as the facebook photo albums put it. Haaaaah I am totally jk. But I really do miss being with people around whom I can…act like completely normal and fangirl about Big Bang and bitch about college and schoolwork and stuff. I mean okay, I do all of that stuff in emails to Horace and the occasional AIM chat with Gerg, but it’s not the same unless it’s in person! Hmmm I really kind of want to go back and start painting again. Because seriously, painting murals for Westrol is GOOD TIMES. It’s so simple, ’cause there are only like three colors we use, unlike the bitch bitch Italian mural which took Niti and I like twenty million years to finish!!! lawlawlawlawlawl whatever. Ugh I also miss hanging out with Frank and her…very random ferkalehnsing which is so amusing because she doesn’t realize when I’m making fun of her. Which is all good and well.

There’s no need to have private posts on here unless it’s about fangirling T_T
