This story could start on the first day of sophomore year, 1st hour trigonometry class. It could start on December 19th, 2003, approximately 3:10 pm on the walkway from circle drive to the student lot. It could start in my basement June 16th 2004. But I choose to start it on Wednesday, December 29th, 2004 in Amar's car on 75th street. We had just finished a day in Chicago experiencing so many wonderful moments that will never be forgotten and were on our way to the last stop of the day, Carrabas to eat dinner with Deanna and Vivek. We were at a red light between 75th and Cass waiting for it to turn green. Amar looks around with nerviousness. I ask, "whats wrong?" He says he'll tell me later. I look at his fretfulness. I guess, "your parents are behind us, arent they?"

I would consider that the beginning. The beginning of what, I'm not exactly sure right now but it was definitely a beginning I will never forget. After that night, Amar was in a very lost state and I know exactly how he felt. He was afraid, worried, unsure, and didnt know what to do. His parents didnt know we were dating and most likely didnt approve. But because Amar is a good person, I dont blame him for finally talking to his parents about dating. What followed was simple: he shouldnt date because there are so many risks and possibilities of things going wrong and somehow Amar, or I, or both of us could get hurt. Granted, they assumed a lot of things that would never happen but they are good parents and they just want to protect Amar. So, Amar and I broke up and became just friends.

Obviously, I didnt want to be just friends so I proposed an idea - we stay friends until we graduate, and then we try to go out again after I try and let your parents get to know me. It was a possibility, but I shouldnt have thought that somehow things would magically go my way. So a month passed by, then Turnabout was approaching fast. Amar's parents allowed him to go to the dance with me AS FRIENDS. The dance was indeed very wonderful and i truly enjoyed it. The afterdance was a bit different. Amar acted differently and something deep inside me just told me that something was wrong, something i didnt expect but something i knew from the get go. I didnt sleep well that night, then school came and took my mind off of it for a while. Then a 3-day weekend came. Probably the worst 3-day weekend i've ever had because that is when the idea hit me subconsciously. I was depressed the entire weekend and actually glad to come back to school. Then today, i had to confirm the dreadful thought that lingered and i asked Amar, "how do you feel about me?"

The answer hit me like a tornado. "i dunno how else to see you rather than being a good friend." Somehow, i already knew that thought was coming but i still cried and i still hurt inside and it felt extremely painful. And he told me his reasons and i listened but i hated how my life had turned out at that point and i cried. While its only been 3 hours since the shock, I've actually come to accept the situation because in reality, its been almost 2 months since i've battled this possibility and this heartbreak. Granted i still hurt, but i've thought and sadly enough i've convinced myself that this has actually happened for the best.

Why? For 6 months, i was able to spend my life as Amar's girlfriend which in itself just made me feel really good. I was able to experience what i've watched on tv or read in books. My life was the happiest it's ever been in those 6 months, even a year because it felt complete. I was doing well in school, in sports, i had a happy family, my friends, and finally, my boyfriend. My life was to say in the least, picture perfect. My last date with Amar was probably, if not the best, one of the best ones. I mean, how can you top ice skating in millenium park, seeing hank azaria at baja fresh, seeing all the animals and gardens at lincoln park zoo, and enjoying a peaceful ride on the train all on a winter day in Chicago that felt like it was spring. I regret that that was my last date with him but the more i try and think about it, the more it seems to be that everything happened for the better.

Of course, the break up was really hard but maybe it wasnt as hard as it could have been. Amar and i were separated because of outside influences, his parents, not because of a decision by either of us. We both were very special to each other and there was no hostility or hatred between us. So now, even after breaking up, we are still very good friends and hopefully the love that we had for each other just turned into love of friendship. And it hurts that i cant be considered his girlfriend anymore but life is about living and learning. Theres ups and downs, theres good and bad, and you cant always get what you want. This situation could be considered bad but it could also be considered good because of the friendship we still have.

I wanted to be Amar's girlfriend but the fact of the matter is, i cant always get what i want and therefore i should simply cherish what i have with all my heart or else whats the point in living? Life is full of disappointments and people get through these disappointments through how they live their life, through cherishing the great moments. My biggest regret is not remembering every single detail from every single date i went on with amar because i want to be able to cherish those moments forever. I dont know the future, but i do know that i will never be able to experience the same exact happiness i experienced with amar. Whatever happiness i do experience will just be different. And i dont even have the right to say that my happiness is over because i still have him as a friend and i would consider him one of my best friends just because of how much i can confide in him and trust him.

So the fact of the matter is, sure, i'm in pain and i was definitely hurt by this situation but in essence, i havent really lost anything. Its not like my memories of the time i had with Amar are gone and its not like my feelings are either. He was my first love and that will always be lingering somewhere in my heart. I will never forget him because he's jsut such an amazing person that forgetting him would only hurt me. My love for him cannot be romantic anymore but it can change and grow in the form of friendship. My only hope is that I will actually be able to be his friend throughout a majority of my life. While that wish is quite impossible, there is still a strong possibility of our friendship lasting at least a bit. While i cannot be considered amar's girlfriend anymore i would hope to still be a special person in his life through my friendship and through the times we've spent together.

While I'm sad and i could dwell, i choose to try and grow stronger. My life is like a book. The chapter with me and Amar as a couple is closing and soon i will begin the chapter with me and Amar as friends. While there are always hardships in the pages of the book, the end always has a good ending. I cant look at my life as something to regret or hate because theres always the future to look forward to. I need to be strong and see those last pages, last paragraphs, last words of the book of my life. This event was painful but it has allowed me to grow as a person. While i'm not entirely thankful it has happened, I know it has happened for a reason whatever that reason may be.

And that's the end of this story.

heh.. i'm here, i swear

Wow, i really need to update now that its summer, i have time, and there have been a lot of fun things that have happened that i dont think i want to forget.

I dont know if i could begin at the beginning of the summer considering its been a month into it already so i'll just go for some major events that've happened lately.

Okay, so there was michigan with jane on the 4th of july weekend. dang that was some good times. its not every day you get to go out onto a paddle boat, lose your life jacket and have to chase after it, then continue your trip halfway around the lake. And you cant forget, when you're legs feel like they're going to burn off, you have to paddle as fast as you can to get the boat as high onto the shore as possible. But still, it was fun (realizing how out of shape you are). Then we played some ff x-2 and beat that stupid tower calibration dealy (with the help of tyler of course). Oh, and priceless - tyler had played x-2 before and he had calibrated the towers as well, but he was saying how he never got anything from it either...
Mwah ~ I got something for just trying them all and not even beating them
Ty ~ huh? there were 9 of them, right?
Mwah ~ No, there were 10
Ty ~ ::jaw drops in shock::
oh the look was awesome! hmm, then there was loads of angel (seeing angel dance has to be one of the funniest things ever) and fireworks (i predicted the ending! There would be the grand finale then about a minute later, someone goes, "oh crap, we forgot this one" and they set off the last firework just to make people think that the show isnt over). Hmm, and then there was another realization that i'm out of shape when i almost died 3 times trying to bike around the lake and seeing for the first time a roadkill lizard. then there was the awesome game of taboo where i'm sure this will always be said around me but...
jane ~ guys stand up and pee into this
mwah ~ urinal
jane ~ girls use it too
mwah ~ bush
jane ~ ::blank stare:: (it was really toilet)
... yes, i realize, not everyone uses bushes... and no, my house does have toilets but... divine retribution - the toilet stopped up so tyler did have to go in the bushes the next morning. mwahahahahaha
then another taboo moment...
jane ~ tyler is a...
Mwha ~ geek, dork, loser
jane ~ no, when he doesnt do anything
Mwah ~ lazy bum!
tyler ~ i see your friends think highly of me...

ahh good stuff

hmm, then i came home the 6th, sort of sat around, and then the 7th rolled around and it was really cool. Went to chicago with some friends and I GOT BIT BY A DUCK!!! mwahahahaha! i dunno why i find that amusing, but it was. oh, and i slipped and almost fell on my ass because it rained and i was wearing flipflops. hmm, and the seagulls were dropping bombs onto jenna and jp (but they barely missed). hmm, and there was a random pink couch in the middle of this nice nature path and i suck at throwing pennies into fountains - does a wish still come true if you dont make it into the fountain but ... near it? Anywho, it was really a fun day (and yes, i left out much stuff)

then the 8th - stand up comedy day at saras. omg, robbin williams on golf. ingenius. that was by far my favorite skit of them all. but there were some funny ones, cant really remember them specifically... but ya, fun stuff. but my sara is leaving!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! :( oh, and there was some bowling and then more saving the world when i came home. and thats about that.

kinda old, but better late then never

2003-07-30T03:06:15Z

So saturday me, jane, liezel, tyler, jason, and jane's mom went to navy pier and ate some dinner which was a rip off, but what did you expect from navy pier. Then we went and saw weird al. omg, it was sooooooooo freaking funny!!! and it was like 50 concerts combined into one since he does so many parodies. then he had these random videos that were just awesome. There was one where you see all these classic horror movie clips that look so fake. like a huge spider walking on town or godzilla parading around or something really corny. then theres the beginning to the brady bunch. hahaha, i found it sooooooo amusing. Then there was one on dirt where the voice was like, "some speculate that dirt is really mud that is dried up and that dirt become mud when it gets wet. So the real question is, what came first? the dirt or the mud? Some people study dirt .... whatever." Ehehehe, it was just so funny!

And of course theres the song with all the corny and really bad pick up lines that was just freaking hilarious. Oh! and the interviews that totally bashed avril, justin, celine, and eminem. hahaha, "so how is britney?" "Oh they're big. They're really big" ahhh, good times.

Then after the concert i walked around for a bit not being able to hear...and then i got thirsty and i asked jane if there was a water fountain somewhere and she mentioned it to her mom and her mom insisted on buying me something to drink. oh yeah, her mom paid for everything and i felt really bad and me and liezel tried to give her $20 for dinner and she absolutely refused to take it. arg! oh well.

So we stayed for a couple more hours riding virtual rides. paid for 2 ride on the VR Voyager and really got 3! weeeeeee, that was fun! Then there was the 3-D ride that (dont tell janes mom) i thought was really stupid and a waste of money. seriously, no one ride that thing, its terrible. The screen was all fuzzy and blurry and wasnt really 3D and what not.

After that, it was chilling at janes house for a sleepover and falling alseep in the middle of a movie, but it was super fun!

Then monday and tuesday i had people over and we watched movies and what not. and thats about that. tomorrow i gotta wake up like 6 and go to work with my mom for an internship thing, my nephews are coming over, i have golf lessons, and i get to pick up the piggies!!! eeee, it will be very busy

omg, that was so fun!

2003-07-26T04:36:48Z

Okey, so jane's party today! I get there super early, i mean, really early. I beat all of you people!!! yeah, so 3ish is early to me. jane's like halfway in the process of baking the cakes and vacuuming the floor and what not. we wait and the cakes are finally frosted and then we put on the icing. lets just say, i have a new respect for cake decoraters because its freaking hard. we tried writing everyones names on the cake and the first name i wrote, which happened to be audi was more like swirls. it was very bad. but whatever, it was freaking funny seeing us screw up so much.

Then i curled janes hair and it was all curly!! And it was kinda my birthday present (a really cheap one) for today. dont worry, tomorrow's present will be better (BUT DONT TELL JANE I'M GETTING HER ONE TOMORROW!!) yeah, too bad the curls didnt stay very long. whatever.

Then people started coming and we hung out in the basement and played pinball and ate pizza and what not. Then it was outside for some capture the flag. ooooo, i'm sooooooo proud of myself. I actually ran to the other side 5 times people!!! 5 times!!! i'm usually the person that sticks around the jail and never steps a foot into the other side. So i gotta tell my funny tree moments...

Moment 1:

Theres this tree that i ran under cept for theres a dead branch right hanging in the path of running that doesnt have any leaves on it and is not visible at night. so you know what that means? Means i get to run smack dab into it with my face. yeah, it kinda hurt and i felt incredibly stupid. which is why i didnt tell anyone about it. made me feel better when like 3 other people ran into it though. i wasnt the only stupid one. tehe.

Moment 2:

Not really something that happened to me, but i saw it. So scott was on the other side and he had to quickly run through to get to our side. well, he ran through the trees and well, i saw an evergreen shake and no scott come out the other side. hahaha, turns out there was a line tied from the evergreen to the ground and he clotheslined himself and lost his glasses. i just find it very amusing.

Moment 3:

And last but not least. I had been to the other side searching through the bushes for this flag (i hope there wasnt poison ivy there...) Along comes kim and i make a dash for it. well, it would have been nice if i paid attention to where i went before i took off because running straight into a pine tree was not the smartest thing in the world. but i found it amusing, very amusing, and somehow i still didnt get tagged, at least i really dont think i did.

ahh, good times good times!

Celebrate good times!

2003-07-24T05:47:13Z

eeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ITS SOOOOO AMAZING!!!!!!! My mom got me a cell phone!!! see, my family doesnt have a cell phone. okay, i lied. my dad has a work cell phone thats huge, and nasty yellow, and not cool. plus i cant use it anywayz because its his work cell phone. so yeah. but today my mom got me cell phone. yay!! happy happy. and i have the love hina tune programmed on it! yay! me happy.

oh yeah, first golf lesson as well. my stance is kinda messed up. i dont bend at the waist enough, so i have an upright type of swing which causes me to use a lot of my upper body more. so the instructor made me bend more at the waist and i swear, i feel like the hunchback of notre dame. yeah, it was very awkward. oh well

I dunno how i pulled it off

2003-07-23T03:53:58Z

so i had people over again today, slightly different combination that included jane, nital, liezel, sean, and amar this time. We watched Just Married and i think no one actually paid attention, then we watched Die Another Day, and that was about it.

oooo, we had a milk incident today. Okay, if anyone knows anything about our milk, its that its usually expired, old, and really nasty. well, today we had a gallon of milk that was kinda full and the expiration date was Jul 25. should be perfectly fine. yeah, well it wasnt. we open it up and jane's like, hey, wats that white stuff? and i smell it cause usually that tells you if its good or bad. wow, it smelled super bad. Then jane smelled it and i think she was gonna lose her stomach or something. yeah, it was really gross. so we pour it out it flows out in chunks. what a wondrous site. But, we were desperately in need of milk since we had mac and cheese cooking. so me and nital run to bobaks while sean and jane are cooking the stuff. come back and things are just peachy.

Then amar came and we tried hiding on the side of the house and scare him when he got to the front door. yeah, i screwed that up big time. i thought, whoa, if he gets lost and he tries to call, the phone's inside the house. so, i went inside, come out, start walking to the side, and amar pulls into the driveway. yeah, go me! So that plan failed. whatever

okey, so i had people over watching movies 2 days in a row, i know my dad saw who was here and all and he's the strict one when it comes to guys. See, my dad used to tell EVERYONE that i couldnt date until i'm 35 and while i'm not dating, having guys as friends seems kinda odd to my parents i guess. so i thought i would feel their wrath, but currently, i havent at all. Hmm, i'm shocked there.

And i got my AP score!!!!!!! i'm soooooo happy!!! not because of the score, but just because i wanted to know what i got. i could care less what the score was. it was my first AP test, kerzee taught us jack, and i didnt know half of what was going on. like the Spider King person dude, yeah, had no clue who he was. Actually, i had never heard of him until stoll's review session. isnt that peachy. so yeah, i think someone messed up with my score, but watever, i'm not gonna push it.

and lastly, i didnt get a parking spot. i'm sooo pissed. now i gotta arrange rides and what not and ::gasp:: i might even have to take the bus, how great...whatever, i'll think about it later. maybe i'll complain to sweet and lichter and they'll work something out for me. tehehehehe

start off the week well

2003-07-22T03:50:33Z

So today was a laz around watching movies type of day. had some people over, namely jane, sara, sean, and oliver. We watched adaptation (which totally confused me), i love the 80's (x2), and top gun. So that was fun. I still havent heard the wrath of my parents since i had 2 guys over with no adults in the house. yeah, my parents dont trust me for some reason. I guess i'm just so slutty and throw myself at everyone around town. yup, thats gotta be it.

So then i kicked them outta the house and went to bowling. Bowled my 5 games, then left. Cept for theres supposed to be an inbetween stage where i mention that i paid....well, i think this convo sums up what happened when i got home...

warlike simulation?

2003-07-19T18:07:41Z

went to kim's b-day party yesterday and it was lazer (laser?) tagging. meh, still not my favorite game in the world, but whatever, gotta give it a shot sometime. Then we went to toys r us and made fun of the toys and what not. oliver sat in this little plastic bike thing and was being pushed around and this couple saw and said it was a kodak moment and then one of the workers walked out right in front of oliver but didnt see him. hahaha, it was funny cause all i heard was a crash boom, maybe oliver jumping ship? but thats about all that happened. bleh, i think today's gonna be a lazy day, lazy lazy! who wants to be lazy with me?

eeeeeee, and they have a mood thats sleepy! i just noticed! weeee, i'm sleepy all the time. but see, they could have just plain old tired, but they have sleepy!! that rocks

Oh yeah!!! for my brothers wedding, i suggested the reading that i wanted to do and melinda liked it!!! WOO!!! hehehe, she asked if it was from an anime though and said taht she didnt want to support a gorey anime...heh...thank goodness the band released a cd of it, so we dont have to mention the anime, tehehehehe.

Shopping is much better than golf

2003-07-18T00:37:20Z

Alright, so, i come home from golf, check my mail, and find an email from nikol saying that we'd go golfing with amy. okay. so i call nikol and she says that we should go soon, so i wait 30 minutes then i go pick up amy and we go to ziggy, get a large set of balls, hit them in like 5 minutes and leave cause we're so sick of it. Then it was off to Bennigans where the food was yuuuummmmmy!!!!! weee, it was good and i want more. after that we went shopping and i bought a belt, wallet, purse, and sunglasses. well, my mom is making me return the walled cause i guess she already had one like it that is uglier and i have to use instead, great....

and theres the purse...okay, i cant believe i actually bought this thing. its gonna take a lot of guts for me to carry it around, i mean, yeah, i like it but...its gutsy.

yeah...gutsy!

yay for great america!!

2003-07-17T14:52:42Z

so...nothings really happened recently that was really worth updating about.....or maybe i'm just lazy! anywayz, went to great america yesterday with a big ol' gang of people and it rocked!

so let's see, went on raging bull twice right to start out with. wooo! gotta love that ride! Then we went on viper and it got really hot, so we decided to go on a coooooool water ride. okay, we ended up shivering after we got off that, and it ruined my hair!!!!!!!! but whatever, it was fun. then it was off to lunch where the food looked just gross and i ended up eating fruit. weee, it was yummy though! ohhhhhh, and i had this retarded bottle thing where i could get cheap refills and i made amar carry it the whole time, then abbas carried it and now abbas currently has it. but hahahahahha, i didnt have to carry my own crap, it was fun. weeeeeeeee!

hmmmm then we went on other various rides like the water one again except for we got even more soaked than the first time and then it was off to superman. okey, the wait was A LOT longer than it was when i first went there. then the ride like broke down and we had to sit there for a while, grawr! and joe would not shut up. i wanted to smack him sooooooooooooooooooooo badly. constantly he would be asking, "was it scary? what'd it feel like? is if fast?" GAH!!!! it was sooooooooooooo annoying. then on the ride, wow, i'm sooooo glad i didnt sit next to him or else i swear i would have punched him. i think he said "oh my god" about 147 times and how could we forget the very foul language that fortunately, i couldnt quite hear clearly. But i thought the ride was fun, so bleh on him.

Then some people at dinner and went on viper while me and nikol ate a funnel cake. wee! it was yummy, yet messy. Then we waited for them at the demon and went on viper again and nikol, jane, sara, and amar left without even saying bye!!!!!!!! YOU PEOPLE SUCK!!!!!!!!! sooooo mean! Then the rest of us went on the carousel (sp?) and abbas was making very odd faces and body movements. i dont know if he was trying to be retarded or just kinda trying to make it seem like the horse was going super fast and throwing him back...in slow motion...yeah....anywayz! We finally left the park and came home. and that was that!

Now for the good stuff:

gotta love when theres just those moments where you absolutely die of laughter. so, here we go....

The first one was when jane bought a diet coke and when she actually finished the coke, there was A LOT of ice left. okay, what is she gonna do with the ice?!?! weeee, throw it at people!!!!!!! hahahaha, so she chucks one at amar and he turns around and starts yelling at abbas's table, which wasnt the table jane was sitting at. hahahahahaha, it was sooooooo funny!!!!! jane was like, "stop laughing!" and she tried and she was almost crying cause she really couldnt. ehehehehe, fun stuff!

Then the second one was while me, nikol, and kristy were sitting at the exit of demon and waiting for everyone else to come out. NIkol decided to take off her socks and shoes and see how pruny and white her feet were. yeah, they were pretty ghostly. so she decides to take a pic and she's got the camera all aimed. then this guy walks around the corner, sees the camera in her hand, and you could totally tell he was thinking, "what is she gonna take a pic of?" so he looks down and he made the absolute FUNNIEST expression i have ever seen!! he was just like, WHAT THE?!?!?! and his eyes were wide open, it was great.

Hmm, and not as funny, but still pretty bizarre. after we got of the viper for the last time, abbas wanted to make a fool of himself. so, he rolled down the pavement. yeah....it was...gutsy. oliver was shouting out how he'd get 50 unknown diseases.

And i think i'm done cause i'm gonna be late for golf seeing as its 9:50 and i havent even started to get ready....

Be a kid again

2003-07-02T03:20:18Z

hmm, well my nephews spent all day playing video games, literally, ALL day. they got here at 12 and they're still playing. its quite funny, but kingdom hearts seems to be a popular choice, yaaa! go kingdom hearts!

then i went to golf, it sucked and this year is gonna bite but whatever not like i can quit cause my parents would slaughter me.

Came home and we all went to chuck e. cheeses. hehehe, that place is so small! i remember it being like the best place, then again, i was like 8. jimmy and steven went to play when me, my mom, my dad, and mike (arg, i'm so used to calling him mikey! but he's 15 now and no, i guess that wouldnt be cool) were eating pizza. steven came back about 5 minutes later with 30 tokens already gone and jimmy had 3 left. it was quite interesting.

then i went off and i played games with jimmy. he's so cute. we played this fire fighter videogame, then the time ran out and the game was over and jimmy was looking for tickets and he was so dissapointed when we didnt get any. then he kept mooching off all of my tokens and played two player games. but i didnt mind, it was fun to play with him. then we went to the machine that eats our tickets and it counts them and all that and i had a heck of a lot of really old tickets from the last time i had gone there. then jimmy gave me his tickets and so did steven and we put them all in the machine but we had like 5 different ticket slips and what not. so we went to the counter and the lady calculated it and the exact total was 1500, thats soooo insane! 1138 of it was mine, tehehe i used to play a lot... Jimmy was soooo selfless! I'm so proud of my little nephew. even though most of it was mine, i was gonna just give it to them anywayz, but they had lamps for 1500 tickets and jimmy was like, "lets use all of the tickets and get something big!" and i was like, "but it would only be one thing" and he was like, "thats okay" aww, it was so nice of him to sacrifice his tickets, but instead we got steven a disco light (black ball with a light inside and colored dots on the ball, yeah, that thing) for 1000 tickets and let jimmy have the remaining 500 where he got a yu-gi-oh writing pad, a lollipop, and a tick tack toe game. then jimmy did an even cuter thing. we were in the car and he said that he was gonna leave the writing pad at my house and every time he came over he would write in it as a diary. ehehehe, he's so cute and kind and all that good stuff! omg, he's smart too! he's using my shower and i showed him the light switch for the shower and he goes, "whats that?" and i told him it was a sky light, like a window, and he said, "oh, so like in the morning you dont have to turn on the light so that you dont burn up the fossil fuels?" and i was literally in shock cause he's only 9! yeah, he's my little geek! ehehehe, fun fun!

too funny!

2003-07-01T18:26:18Z

alright, i gotta update about this before i forget it. So my nephews came to the house today and they're gonna be spending a couple of days here. and one of them, my sister already warned me about and she said that sometimes he acts just so stupid for a 13 year old. okay, so he finally proved that to me in the basement.

now there's this huge poster on our wall from my birthday party that says, "Sweet Sixteen, Samantha" or something like that. so, my nephew, who's name is steven goes...

Steven: Who's Sa-man-thia
Me: Samantha?
Steven: oh yeah, that
Me: are you joking?
Mike: are you stupid?
Steven: huh?
Mike: do you know who sam is?
Steven: huh?
Jimmmy: Her ::points at me::
Steven: Oh, sammie!
Me: yeah...
Steven: oh, is that your nickname?
Me: what, samantha?
Steven: Yeah
Me: umm, no, thats my real name...

Omg!! seriously!!!!!! i never would have imagined that he wouldnt have known that... oh geez...

Just be lazy i say!

2003-06-30T00:22:31Z

weeee, lazed around aaaaaalllllll day today, and it was fun! Watched lotsa stuff including a walk to remember with my mom. even though mandy moore is in it and almost all of the movies with a singer in it kinda suck, this one was actually pretty good. it was a cute and sweet movie but sad. my mom cried a couple of times. wow, i remember the days when i was a little kid and i NEVER EVER saw my mom cry. kinda surprised me a bit, but whatever.

And i also finished Happy Lesson. yeah, it was okay, not the best out there. i mean, i didnt finish watching it and say, "holy cow, that was freaking awesome" no, more like, "is it finally finished?" Well, i can cross it off my list now, but i dont think i'm gonna burn it onto cds, i doubt i would want to watch it again. so yeah, thats about that.

Dresses are pretty

2003-06-29T03:08:21Z

So mom and i spent some quality time together. it even started this morning when we ganged up on my dad. actually, it was very unexpected. i came downstairs for what reason, i dont remember, but i i ran into my mom at the foot of the stairs. and yesterday my dad called me with his cell phone and was supposed to check up on me, since my parents were at a friends house. well, instead of just checking on me, he decided to say a buncha other stuff as well. so my mom this morning kinda apologized for him lecturing me on the phone and that it wasnt the time and the place. and i told her how i felt bad and started crying after i hung up, i know, i'm a sissy. so she made me and her go downstairs and she yelled at my dad and made him apologize and when he did a really really crappy job at it, she yelled at him for not meaning it. wow, my mom really stuck up for me and she was crying and saying how i was such a good kid and that i do so many things to please my parents and that she considers me her gift from god and everything and that she couldnt ask for more (i think i should have recorded that). but it was really shocking to me and all that stuff that she would say all of it.

Then me and my mom went shopping for dresses for jesse's wedding. haha, i ended up buying 3 dresses for dances and stuff, but one of them is really perfect for my brother's wedding. so yeah, i'm set dress-wise. now i just gotta get the shoes and the purse and the jewelry. hehehe, but thats for another day.

oh, and we stopped by Victoria Secret as well and i got more heavenly perfume. yay! i was like really close to running out, but now i got the big bottle. but its so expensive! freaking $55. yeah, kinda insane, but oh well, it was actually the best value. and then i got the buy one get one free shower gel in the same scent. weee, i wont be stinky anymore! tehehehehe

and best buy is my savior. so yesterday i was done to one cd label. not good. but best buy saved me and now i have 101 cd labels. the saga continues!

My glasses are fixed as well. we went to the glass place and the lady gave me a new nose piece, free of charge and in 5 minutes. shortest time i've ever been at that place ever. it usually takes like 20 minutes just to get our names called.

so lots accomplished and it was a fun day.

oh yeah. the absolute cutest dress is at von maur! its white and has an a-symmetrical skirt with black embroidered flowers and rinestones along the edge of the skirt and along the top. its sooo pretty! i thought it was adorable. and its only $34, on sale and all. but its too short for me, so yeah, someone go buy it so i can see you in it at hc or something! eeee, i wanted to buy it just to give to someone! oh well, my mom wouldnt let me cause she didnt know if anyone would have really wanted it, but she thought it was cute too!

OH!! and there were really really really vibrant rainbows today! my mom and i saw two complete ones. it was sooo gorgeous. one area had these really dark grey storm clouds and right in the middle of them were these rainbows that were soooo bright and no one could have missed them. it was so pretty and my mom and i made wishes and everything. it was really nifty cause i hadnt seen one in so long.

i gotta be more consistent....

2003-06-27T21:44:52Z

alrighty, here we go

monday:

hmm, did nothing until my mom came home and we went out for dinner and dropped off my brother's tuxedo rental at gingiss. oo, they had a hiring now sign in their window and so i got an application and turned it in and stuff, but they still havent called me or anything, grrr, but oh well.

then we went to new china buffet to eat and they have boba!!!!!!!! i got a pineapple shake with tapioca balls. it was yummy! and i brought it to bowling where we were smoked out cause all of these graduated seniors started smoking cigars and stuff next to us. it was gross! but i was able to annoy litte brian with the little foot dance that we learned from nikol and liezel. it was so funny when he'd try it, get it for about a second and then mess up and stomp his foot. haha, little kids upset make me laugh.

Tuesday:

woke up early, got ready, and went to drop off my application at gingiss but i got there at 10:30 and it opened at 11, smart me. so i went to tj maxx and old navy and looked around for a bit and returned when it was open to drop it off. and the manager wasnt there even though the lady said he would be. whatever

after that, i came home and then went hiking for a couple of hours. ooo, it was fun! i caught a buncha little minnow fish and picked up a snake! haha, but i was at this one part and i was trying to catch fish and i was failing miserably and i started walking by all the river plants and stuff and this snake popped its head out like a foot from my feet. wow, i ran out screaming. it was funny though. it was pretty long, according to jane. not like anaconda long, but longer than the ones we saw so far. oo, and i bumped my head on the bridge, smart, ehh? and never wear sandals when going hiking. its a bad idea. not even the sandals that are like shoes cause i kept twisting my ankles and it wasnt fun.

wednesday:

hmm......i cant remember.... wow, mind blank. oooo!! i stayed home and watched lotsa anime! thats about all i can remember

thursday:

eeee, fun fun! i finished card captor sakura. it was so cute, especially the end of it. then i went to nikol's house where me, nikol, sara, nital, and sean watched the neverending story. ah! its so good! hehehe, the background is funny cause its so old, like 84 or something, but i loved it! i gotta get the soundtrack too, it was really fun. then we played card games. hehehe, nikol's funny. we were playing egyptian rat screw, and you gotta be quick, ya know? and here's nikol, slowly flipping her cards over. haha, and she was admiring the pretty cards. gotta love ff 8 cards! hehehe

then we went back to sara's house, without nikol, and watched the grape part in when harry met sally and then started watching empire records. its actually a kewl movie. oo, and sara's mom brought home chinese appetizers that we ate in silence. i found it soooo funny how we were practically dead silent. i started laughing about it in the middle of eating a pot sticker and i think sara's mom thought i was laughing because of the taste of the food cause she started saying that where i eat might be different. but i was really laughing at how we were so quiet!! its insane! we were like goofing off and talking nonstop earlier, then we're at the table eating and its totally different. oh well.

and i watched tokyo babylon and rg veda. i didnt really like rg veda, i was kinda lost for the most part. tokyo babylon wasnt that bad. it prolly would have made a good series if it was more than 2 ep long cause of all the different stories that could have happened. but oh well, subaru was in it and he looked completely different then how he did in x, but thats okay

Friday:

woke up pretty early and started making cd labels for x. wow, the tarot card for yuuto is really disturbing, but i ended up using it anyways so that i would put him on one of the cds. but its really kinda freaky. oh well. i like two of the cd covers. i found a nice pic of subaru and his friend with one good eye (i dun remember the name) and then i really liked the one with sorata. eee, its so cute!

and thats about it.

oooooo!!!!! there was an icky spider in my shower and i'm afraid to go back in............eeep!

oy! freaky

2003-06-23T13:41:29Z

i forgot i had a scary dream last night. i remember my brother being in a hospital bed and he wasnt awake and the doctors were using those defribulator things (i dunno, they're like one two clear! and theres a shock, yeah, i made up the name) and my brother wasnt waking up and the doctor told us that we would know in 90 minutes if he would be a live or not. so we sit outside in the waiting room for a while and my mom comes and she's all tear eyed and red faced and the doctor comes and shakes his head and it was so sad! (and i felt bad cause i said bye to my brother friday night and all even though he was leaving sunday but i wouldnt be home.) but then my brother walked into the waiting room and i was just confused because it was a different one of him. cause there was still the one in the hospital bed and then there was this healthy one. it was creepy, then i thank goodness i woke up.

okay, recap!

2003-06-23T13:25:07Z

Thursday:

Woke up, watched some anime, then i had to get ready. Drove my mom to the car dealership cause her car was on recall, came back, then we went to the airport and dropped melinda off. Then i came home and went to sara's house to paint boxes, which we really never used, but it was fun. i had red paint all over my hands and feet and yeah, it was interesting. Then me and carolyn had a stuffed animal fight while anuja and sara were building a table, anuja left and me and carolyn came and helped. hahaha, two of the pieces wouldnt go in and we sat there for 10 minutes hammering it in to realize that we had the wrong pegs. hehehe, go us! Anywayz, i managed to stick my finger in something reeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaally nasty. i dunno what it was but it was slimy, wet, and brown. grooooooss! Then we set up the sound system thing (as we were carrying the box, i was sooooo close to step on a knife that was lying on its side, sharp side pointed up. ay! that would have been super bad)

Then thats about that and i came home and sat around and what not watching anime and junk.

Friday:

Woke up, watched some anime, got ready (notice a trend in my routine these days?) Then jane came over at 10 and we went to yorktown to shop for sara's b-day present. went to spencers and saw some stuff, then we went to too cool. omg, that store rocks!!! I sooooo wanna live there. its like anime heaven! weeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!! I looked at all the books and i was like, i've seen that, i'm gonna see that, blah blah blah for the majority of the stuff. it was fun. then they had a lot of kewl playing cards like fruits basket, rurouni kenshin, chobits, weiss kreuz, and all that good stuff. i wanted to buy them all!!!! but i ended up just buying a pretty ff 8 one. tehehehehehe, squall is very nice looking. ooo, and i bought a keychaing that had tidus on it. it was fun.

then we walked around the mall some more seeing if there was anything that caught our eye for sara, but instead we went into stores that seemed like they would have something anime related, mwahahahaha. like a book store that said they had anime dvd and manga. ehehehee, i saw the manga for a buncha stuff, it was fun. then we went to suncoast that had anime and mange. haha, they had a book on how to draw anime that i was so tempted to buy but didnt cause i had yet to buy sara's gift.

so we stopped at gadzooks cause its a fun store, and we found two shirts that we figured sara would like. theres one thats like a bakery shop store and it said, "the hottest buns in town" tehehe, and theres another one that was for a wiener place and it say, "we got them! You love them!" tehehehe, sooooo sara! Then we went back to spencers and bought sara a dragon ring, a dragon box, and the funniest card. it was the birthday riddle card which said, what goes in hard and stiff and comes out soft and sticky? hahahahahaha, sara was like, I dont wanna know. but the answer is BUBBLE GUM!!! ahahahaha, gotta love it.

then we came home and i sat around for a bit and finally headed over to her house at quarter to 6 and helped her decorate and stuff. then the party started and it was super fun. i loved the ping pong!!! i swear, i'm gonna steal that table when she isnt looking (heh heh...good luck going up the stairs and out the door...) then we had stuffed animal fights and everything. and there was olives!!! YAY! sara bought olives just for me!! weeeeeee, they were really yummy since i hadnt eaten any in so long. mmmmmm refound yumminess. ooo, and the cherry tomatos were really yummy too! gah, so much yummy stuff! wee, but i'd say that the party was a success and for my birthday, i'm just gonna raid sara's basement cause my party sucked sooooo badly!!

Weekend:

eeeeee, woke up late!!! ya, late being at 6. heh, but it was worth it cause i went to michigan with jane, sara, stephanie, and carolyn. it was super fun! we got there, and we were like, ahhhhhhh, its so cold! then like an hour later we were burning up. we walked along the rocks twice, first when we got there and then again to watch the sunset. they were freaking scary at first, a little less the second time. and when i mean the rocks, there was the harbor for boats and then they could go out to the huge lake, well, from the harbor to the lake there are like these HUGE rock walls that you had to pass between. basically they seemed like HUGE (and i mean huge) slabs of concrete that were just tossed there. so they were all slanted and crooked and not too good to climb on if you dont trust your feet. unlike jane who strolled acrossed them. me and sara did crab walks, it was fun. hehehehe, but we got better, i swear!

so after the rock climbing and what not, we went back to the boat and whipped on out bathing suits and went to go swim in the water, except the water was super cold, well to me at least and basically we walked in, dunked ourselves, and walked out. haha, then i sat there trying to get a tan for a bit while sara was talking about skin cancer and stuff. and i dont care who you are, ALWAYS WEAR SUNSCREEN!!! cause if you get burnt, it hurts. i managed to have my legs bright pinkish red by the end of the day with my face and shoulders the same color. it stings! but i still dont think i have a tan.....heh....my stubborness shines!

anyways, then we went tubing(sp?) it was super fun!! so i went with jane and we were flying all over the place and what not. the entire time i was yelling about my legs stinging and my arms burning (from rubbing and smacking the tube) it hurt, but it was fun. then me and jane actually flipped over! hahaha, it was funny, but freaking COLD! jane smacked her face pretty good though since she kinda flew over me and had more of an impact with the water. so i rode home with carolyn and jane tricked us!!! she told mr. wott that we wanted to go faster when we really didnt say anything. so, we flew very high in the air, jane claims 3 feet one time. amazing.

then we got back to the boat and went to the club house to shower and what not, get sparkly clean and stuff. after that we returned to the rocks to watch the pretty sunset (hahaha, we sat on the rocks for like 3 hours and when the sun was finally setting, it took it about 3 minutes to go from touching the horizon to not being able to see it anymore). then after that we built a bon fire, actually, i shouldnt say we cause i did absolutely nothing in helping, hehehehe. then everyone was setting off fireworks and stuff. it was funny. theni wanted to fall asleep on the log and we finally went back to the boat to sleep. hehe, me and sara were gone within 10 minutes and i guess carolyn was yelling at us to see if we were awake, yeah, didnt hear a thing. then i heard something and opened my eyes and i see carolyn's dad standing in front of me and he told me to go back to sleep only so that he could return with the little boat at 8 o'clock honking its horn and telling us to wake up. wow, soooo interesting! so we woke up and got dressed and ate breakfast and returned and got in our bathing suits and went tubing and sunbathing again (cept for i used sara's shirt to cover my legs and try to get my back tan, that failed and i ended up getting the back of my arms burned. IT HURTS!!!!!). then we ate lunch, sat around, went for boat rides, ate ice cream at oinks, and came home. weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee it was so fun!!! no parents to nag at you, no worries, just hanging out with friends. lotsa funness! and i managed to change colors!! i dunno, either i'm tan or i'm burnt, not too sure which one, but at least i'm a shade different.

and thats basically my weekend summed up in lengthy paragraphs, weeeee. now i get to watch my pretty anime!

oh yeah!!! sara was looking at the clouds and she saw a woman in it! and then the woman's head kinda disappeared and we saw an even smaller woman, it was so kewl!

oop, i forgot

2003-06-19T16:30:05Z

Pay day was yesterday. well, actually, more like me paying back some of my debts was yesterday. but still, i'm less in debt, tehehehe

Ay! Update!

2003-06-19T14:51:29Z

Sunday:

So sunday was the wedding shower at Carriage Greens. I thought i was gonna have to wake up early and golf but when i walked into my room to get ready, my mom told me that mr. daar was gonna golf. you know what that means? I didnt have to golf!! WOO HOO!! so, got to sleep some more

then we headed to the shower and all, hung out there for a bit before jane, liezel, and nital came. Phew, if they came any later, i think i would have died. Andrew Daar was there. AY! He scares me. i swear, all he did was follow us around THE ENTIRE TIME!!! Okay, yeah, i'm sure most of you have no clue who i'm talking about. hmm, if i needed to find someone like him at hshs.....yeah, me and jane concluded that it would be like phil gwhatever and liezel even said that he kinda reminded her of Chris Johnson. okay, i'll admit, he's not as bad as chris cause he's more normal than that. but still, he's creepy. oooo, i always compared him to the geeky guy in digimon, i dunno if any of you ever watched that show. but yeah, moving on.

so we ate lunch, i liked the mashed potatoes, they were yummy. then these little people came. hahahaha, they were soooooooooo funny!! okay, they werent literally little people. more like people dressed up in costumes who danced and sang and hit on other people, like liezel!! hahahahaha, that was soooo freaking funny. So they were playing love shack and the guy stood there, slowly moving towards liezel as she slowly leaned to the side. hahaha! (see the icon?)

hmm, then there were some other stuff that happened. Ewwwwwwww, there was slow dancing and ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww grosssss!!!!! andrew asked me to dance! EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW, i wanted to barf. okay, maybe not that much, but i said no and told him that i just dont dance. yeah, no freaking way i'm going up there when there are 5 married couples up there. nope, nuh uh. i dont think so! But he finally left and i could sit there without him breathing down my neck, good god i never want to see him again.

and thats about all that happened at the shower

Monday:

Hmm, hung around for a bit and did absolutely nothing. oh, my grandparents went home in the morning and my uncle came and visited for the rest of the day. then i went bowling and thats about that.

Tuesday:

Went downtown to shop and get food for a couple of hours. then went to sara's house and cleaned and stuff. hahahaha, i think i screamed more at sara's house than anywhere else. lets see, water fight, attack of the moths, mcdonald's cup, carolyn pinching me, something crawling up my leg, and thats about it. yeah, hopefully no one called the police, tehehehehe.

Then i went home and sat around watching card captors and what not. yeah, so uneventful

Wednesday:

Okay, i literally sat around and did squat.

ya...thats about it

geez, where to start?

2003-06-15T14:31:38Z

Okay, so much has happened!! Friday night Jesse, Melinda, Melinda's mom, and Melinda's best friend, Jen, camne home and we just hung out watching movies and eating pizza. We ordered the depp dish from Giordanos and all and Jen's only been in chicago like once before this and so she took pictures of the pizza and all cause they dont have them in California. She's so cute, everything she see's, she's like, "wow, its so big!" haha, like the houses and the stores (old navy, tj maxx, etc) and then one comment i thought was really cute was when she was like, "everyone has christmas trees in their yards" tehehehehehe, sooo funny!! But she seems really nice. She gave me these little scent things to go in my car and make it smell pretty, yay! I kinda feel bad for her though cause she basically only knows melinda, but when melinda starts talking to her other friends, Jen kinda just sits there. gah, the feeling sucks. but its okey.

And then saturday rolled around, ay!! i woke up at 6 o'clock. what the heck?!?! first day off of school and i wake up at 6. great... but whatever. Then my uncle, aunt, and cousins came. They have the cutest doggies!!! They have two little palmeranians (sp?) and they're just adorable. One of them's name is "Mr. Man" hahahaha, he responds to it too. i find that amusing. But anyways, my brother was sleeping in the basement and he said that when they walked in, he doesnt know who it was, but someone was pounding their feet on the floor, like they were trying to be king kong, althought not on purpose. haha, so that woke him up. Then me and him went shopping cause he wanted sandals and it was like 9:30 and practically none of the stores were open. haha, forgot about that factor.

BUt he found a pair of sketcher sandals at Shoe Carnival and then i got 3 pairs of BLACK FLIP FLOPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! can you believe it?!?! Now no more fashion crisis (except for i have no fashion sense anyways, but still!) wwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, me soooooo happy!!! So i got the regular black pair, then i got a black pair thats platform, and then i got a pair thats sooo asian. It has the wood look with black flowers and yeah, i'm set! haha

Then we came home and ate lunch and my uncle was telling all these stories. And one of them was particularly funny.

~"Did you hear about the last time i came up here and rode a horse?"

-"no"

~"Well as i was riding it, i fell off, but my foot was still caught on the stirrup and the horse just kept running and running"

-"omg, thats terrible. How'd it stop?"

~"The guy came from walmart and pulled the plug"

HAHAHAHA, you have to admit thats pretty funny!!

Alright, moving on. Me and Jesse then went to the driving range at Ziggy and Melinda and Jen went shopping, then we came back home, picked up Melinda's mom and drove to palatine to go see melinda's childhood friend and sat in her house for an hour or so.

Then we went to the city, ate at Hi Rickys and i ate the filipino pancit or something and it was yummy. After that we went to my brother's friend Jav's place cause he was having his birthday party, an engagement party, and his fiance's graduation party. Geez, i didnt know anyone considering they were all like 30 and they had their toddler children. Yeah...so i just sat around doing basically nothing for a good 4 hours. that was ... great.

But the absolute weirdest thing happened. This guy just kinda sits down next to me and was all like, "help me out here, what is this party" and i explained it to him and he was asking who was who and all this stuff and i just answered his questions. He said he was just walking by and wanted to see what was going on (oh yeah, the party was at jav's apartment building, but it was in the party room). Then he asked how old i was and if i was goona go out later. and i was like, i dont think so. and he asked if i had a card, an illegal id, and i was like, no, and he said he thought everyone did, and yeah, it was odd. then my brother sat down next to me and melinda, who was on the other couch called me over to sit next to her. Let's just say, that guy was kinda creepy and melinda and them were all saying that he was hitting on me. See, the really really really sad part of the story is, i didnt even notice. good god i'm such a retard. whatever. But Jay, my brother's friend, was funny. He was like, "So, what happened to Chester?" and i go, "Who's that?" and he goes, "the molester" hahahaha, reminds me of when sara wanted the name Chester. Wonder if she'd still want it after hearing that. hahahahaha

So then i got home at around 12:30 and all, woke up at 5:30 (yes, 5:30) cause i thought i was gonna go golfing, which i really didnt want to. Walked into my room and my mom asked if i still was and i said yeah, and she goes, okay, cause so is henry daar and i thought. WOOOOO!!!!!! I DONT HAVE TO GOLF!!! Cause while my brother was at the party, he invited this guy that was going to the shower to go golfing because he thought that henry wasnt gonna golf. but now that he is, i dont have to golf!! WOOO!!!

and then i was able to go back to sleep and wake up at 9 when my sister and nephews walk into the house screaming and what not. today'll be interesting, to say the least.

YAY!!!!!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

School is finally out and i can swim in days full of anime, except, not now cause i have relatives over. oh well

So last night i got shafted, had to sleep on the ugly green couch. oh well, whatever. The next week'll be interesting. My grandpa loves to just talk and talk and he was telling us little things about marriage and what not and he said...

"when i first married her, i thought she was so sweet that i could eat her. The next month, i wish i had"

"We've been married 57 years. Thats why i look so bad"

hehe, i'm sure there were a lot more but i cant really remember. But anywayz, the next week is going to be soooo busy, i prolly cant even sit down and relax (okay, no, i lied, i took a nap already, tehehehe). But at least theres nooooooooo schooooooool until next year. And as drew wrote in my year book in 8th grade...

Spring has spring,
fall has fell,
3 more months,
and we're back in hell.

SO my friends, the countdown begins. What are you gonna do all summer? I know i'm gonna invade peoples' houses and eat their food, watch their movies, and all that good stuff, weeeeeee

WOOO!!!!!

I FIGURED IT OUT!!!!!!!!!

Okay, so like a while ago nikol was singing walk the dinosaur or something like that and theres a part that goes, "boom boom aka laka boom boom" or something similar to that. and i swore i had heard that before, so i downloaded the song and since it was from like the 80's it was really really slow and not the same as what i remembered.

then i thought that maybe it was from a ddr song and i went through like all of my songs and i never heard it. so i could never figure it out.

and just recently i started listening to gigi d'agostino again and i had been listening to it for a week or so, but not really listening. i mean, it was playing but i wasnt taking in what they were saying. but then i was finally actually listening and they were singing the boom boom thing!! and i was like, hmm...that sounds familiar and i rememebered that i couldnt figure out where i was hearing it from. WEEEEEEEEEEEE, i can actually sleep now!!! woo hooo, hahaha, not like it was preventing me from sleeping, but whatever

oooo, and we were watching titanic today in health and it was the sinking part and the orchestra was playing music that was cheerful and they finished a song and one guy goes, lets play orpheus. so they started playing and it sounded sooooo familiar to me and like lyrics popped into my head that went along with the tune and i realized that its the same music as Spectacular Spectacular from Moulin Rouge. hahaha, i actually learned something, amaaaaazing!!

and now i'm just chilling at home, quite happy with my discoveries and all. I found out that i got an a on my euro paper, despite the fact that its kinda not the assignment she asked for, but oh well. Today was prolly the last day i'll see Kampa and mrs. kerzee gave me a hug despite the fact that she only gave everyone else a handshake (well, i got a handshake as well) She was nice as a person, okay as a teacher. But yeah, i might actually miss some of my teachers. I saw Camasta as well and i checked out my grade, and oddly enough she didnt even have to look up my grade to tell me what it was and i thanked her and she was all like, "its been such a pleasure to have you in class, thank you" and i feel kinda bad for just saying basically bye to all my teachers and not that i enjoyed it (which i actually did sometimes, shocking, i know)

But tomorrow is the last day of finals and i have spanish to look for, fortunately i'm gonna have Mrs Piccoli next year, so i wont feel bad, yay!

And i also checked out my schedule yesterday and i am set! I have a physics honors class and gym last!!! WOOOO!!! Gym is last!!! so i dont have to worry about looking like crap after running in circles, phew.

dreams

2003-06-10T02:43:50Z

I had some odd dreams sunday morning. Okay, so the first was me shopping at this really expensive store. then there was this rack of shoes that were for sale and i found this pair of sandals that were cute. So i tried them on and they were sooooooooooooo comfy! it was as if i was putting my foot into a velvety pillow or something like that. And they were BLACK!!! BLACK I SAY!!! so they were a must have, plus they were platforms, so thats not bad at all either. Okay, so they used to cost $68 but then they were reduced to $22. Well, my mom was there and she always likes a good deal even though she still questioned me if i wanted to buy them cause i guess $22 for a pair of sandals is expensive to her.

And i was so happy that i got black sandals, and i got black flp flops as well. but then i realized that it was a dream and i was all sad again. rawr!! why cant dreams come true?!?!

okay, then i had another dream that same morning and i was at this major school meeting that was in the auditorium or something and all our parents were there as well. But then we hear this scratching noise on the door and we look and this asian family walks in and my dad and i look at each other and snicker at how asians are always late (cause my mom can NEVER seem to get ready on time). But then i woke up to the same scratching like 5 minutes later and i look and my mom is combing the tassles that are at the end of my floor rug...okay...i dunno why she was doing that...but sure...

oh yeah, and just to let you know, i wrote my rebellious paper (even though i wrote another one that followed the assignment just in case) and i was asking people if they knew whay historians ask what if questions and no one seemed to know why, but since most of the people i asked were peers and they just said "cause they're stupid" i didnt think that was the best reasons to support me. So i just randomly ask mr. kampa (which i realized today that i ask him waaaaay to many questions). So mr. kampa starts to take a sip out of his water and i go, "Why do historians ask what if questions" and then at that moment he did that sorta i'm-gonna-start-laughing-and-backwash sorta thing and he almost drooled and bent over and all that stuff. kinda hard to explain. So i just kinda look at him funny and he replies "The reason i started laughing was because i have been trying to figure that out for the past 50 years myself"

So i feel a whole lot better to not know the answer to the simple question and dont feel bad at all for writing that paper, which mrs kerzee said i could do my speech on since i seem to want to do it. yay! i get to reject the assignment!

I was thinking...

Well, i'm reading this article about the battle of midway and how historian's speculate how things would be different if such and such did not happen or such and such did happen that would basically change the course of what truly did happen. And i have to read this article to write a paper in euro and kinda of write how things would be different if something else happened. And i was thinking, why do historians think about that kind of stuff? I mean, it happened in the past, so its not going to really matter why things would be different and its not like we can travel into the past so we can never actually change what happened. I think the more important question would be, what would happen if this happened vs this happening pertaining to the future, because then the what if question could impact the future greatly. But see, wondering about the past isnt going to change anything, unless i'm completely missing the point or something.

So i was thinking, what if i rebelled against this paper and wrote that speculating about what ifs in the past doesnt help but rather people should speculate about what ifs for the future so that the best possible solution could be reached and that mistakes wont be created that would go down in history. No, its rather kind of the opposite. If the right decision was chosen to start out with because of the what if question, then historians wouldnt have to go back and ask themselves what if for the past. I have no clue if any of this makes sense, but then again, i'm sick, light-headed, and prolly irrational at this point.

But i still think it would have been pretty daring of me to write such a paper and prepare a speech on such a paper. But see, if i had a 95 avg for both quarters in that class, i certainly would have gone for it because then i could get a 0 on the paper and speech and i would still get an A. However, all my slacking off and failing tests has brought my avg down to a 91 or something and i cant possibly write such a daring paper. Alas, my silly thoughts have brought me to no good, but it would have been a very interesting idea.
