I never expected to use these words, but anyways, I'm on a temporary hiatus. Actually, I've been on one since a few weeks ago but anyways, thought it was best to actually tell everyone.

(Otherwise, it just looks like I'm avoiding people.)

Anyways, may exams are up, so I have math and ITGS to study for. Not too bad for math, as long as I don't make any stupid mistakes. Like mixing two equations into a hybrid by accident. Or not rounding properly. Or going to far. Or...
Yeah.

For ITGS, I just need to memorize. Which I'm terrible at. I can't even remember my brithday...

Other than that, I won't have to worry until June when Bio and chem come up. (Bio is fine, but chem? D: I'm going to die.) So I'm rather busy right now. Math is in a week. (NOT ENOUGH TIME.)

Today, I had one of my laughing fits. The ones where I end up laughing for minutes (sometimes it lasts twenty minutes, sometimes an hour) without end. It isn't always too bad, but somethings it lasts a little too long and I don't breathe properly then. Which is a problem, because I have asthma. Put this together and I nearly faint sometimes. Other than that, my sides hurt a lot.

So, today I had another one of those attacks. Some of my friends who haven't experinced this yet I try to have these attacks only at home were very...concerned.

Me: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Friend: ....
Me:....I'm...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...
Friend: *looks around*
Me:...*gasp* I'm fine...HAHAHAHAHAHA....
Friend: What is wrong with you?
Me: HAHAHAHA.
Friend: That wasn't even funny!

And then my teacher...*sigh*

Me: I promise...*gasp*...I promise to...haha....to...not laughahahahahaha....
teacher: Damn.
Me: HA...
Witch: Yeah, it started again during lunch.
Me: HAHAHA.
Teacher: How long do you think this will go on?
Me: HAHAHA.
Witch: Remember last time? You had to call that other teacher to calm her down.
Me: Stop...HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Teacher: Oh. Right.

Teacher: Ok, so yesterday's mock exam...
Me: hahah...heheeehee...
Teacher: Will be taken up after we take up monday's...
Me: HEE...HAHAHA....he....
Teacher: Will someone shut her up?
Me: HAHAHAHA.
Classmates: SHUT UP KOMAL.
Classmates: YEAH, DO AS HE SAID.
CLASSMATES: SHUT UP ALREADY. QUIET.
Me:....D: 
Me: HAHAHA.

So basically, it would be silent and then you'd hear random laughter from the back of the room because no one could put up with me in this state. And my laughs weren't even quiet giggles. They were full out guffaws and giant laughs and loud. Luckily, I didn't turn red, tingle, or nearly faint, but still...

I'm such a freak. Even though I'm allergic to nearly everything (like my friends point out) and tend to visit doctors and such (so many absences last semseter...D:), the most serious thing would probably be these laughter attacks. Who faints from laughing?

Who gets laughing attacks? There is something wrong with that.

I also have a biology contest tomorrow. My first thought was that, hey, it's for grade 11's. This means grade 10 work, because they can't know when you might take grade 11 bio. So I sort of forgot about it until today.
(STUPID. IDIOT. GAH.)

Then, I look at the questions because of a friends suggestion and WTF? I was wrong, they are doing grade 11 and 12 (I think) course work. I could only answer one or two questions. Because I'm taking higher level bio, we've only covered cells and some of the body systems so far. Majority of these questions go into ecology and all sorts of things that I haven't learned yet. Like, what is a vestigial structure? 
UGH.

I should read the fine print next time. I really should. It's almost not worth it, except I said I would go, so now I have to. I'm going to spend the whole hour or so staring at the paper and grinning awkwardly. Maybe doodle in the corners.

On a side note, I finally used my deviantart account and posted a few drawings. Nothing amazing, but I like it. Like my Happy Monster's Formula. That was fun to make. =D I even posted a small comic. About life and how my friends and I fail so much sometimes...XD

My week in a nutshell...

( This will take more than a few nuts... )

I know that being sick isn't exactly fun, especially when you are really sick or just sick enough to have to stay home but not too sick that it isn't more than an annoyance. And I agree that no one really wants to be sick unless they are trying to avoid something.

Of course, I really don't ever get sick, so this is based on my sister.

When I was little, I used to purposely try to get sick, doing everything I could so I could actually have a sick day. All that got me was a cold that stayed with me all winter. In fact, whenever I did end up calling a sick day--besides regular doctor's/dentists/hospital appointments--it was only because my little sister was sick or my dad needed help moving the furniture.

Let me tell you right now, being the only one not sick isn't much fun either.

My whole family has suddenly come down with something. This something doesn't give them very good appetites either. I feel bad for them, I really do, but at the moment I am very selfishly angry.

They don't eat. I get that. But just because they can't eat doesn't mean that I can't.

I'm the only one in the house who isn't sick and can eat. Because everyone else can't eat, there is absolutely no cooking going on and I am surviving on left overs and soup.

THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY. I understand why they won't eat or cook, but I am not going to surive on shrimps, rice, and soup until they recover. IT ISN'T POSSIBLE. 

That felt good to release. Now, excuse me. They are all calling me again for something. D<

P.S. That being said, I need to find an angry icon. When I get to.

I cannot wait  until this week is over. There is absolutely nothing about this week, with the exception of yesterday's swm team dinner, that is making me evven like this week.

Therefore, I purpose we all go on strike and kill the week.

( Why? This is why. D< )

A little while ago, the neighbors across the street's house caught on fire. Their garage was burning and small part of the top floor, I think. Smoke billowed across the street, covering everything in a haze of gray with the occasional unveiling of the house, a peek that lasted for only a short time before hiding away again. Every now and then the orange fire would jump up, an explosion of light and then the flare would die down just as quickly. The top of the garage doors burnt away, leaving small black windows that let us peer into the darkness before the whole door disappeared. Red lights danced on the smoke, an eerie show that left me wondering which was the fire and which was the spotlights.

Luckily, I think they weren't home as the lights were off and I couldn't see anyone being led away or any paramedics coming. Though, if anyone was hurt, they weren't hurt badly as the ambulance left as quietly as it came.

It was kind of interesting to see how people milled around my driveway and lawn, watching the scene, before the police shooed them away. Then, after a little while, they would come back. I think I stayed there too long, though, as my lungs are burning a little. I'm sure I'll be fine soon enough.

(Though, this reminds me of the sledding accident I had recently, where my eyes went funky and turned the white snow yellow. I hit my head pretty hard then but thought it would be fine...)

I took some photos (Yes, I know, that was pretty selfish of me, but the play of light and shadows was just too good to give up. I had to take some. Of course, I was punished for that by having my  batteries die out on me just before a really good photo shot came. I'm so selfish and shameless, wishing that I had my battery full so I could take those photos. *sigh* I need to punish myself for that.)

Edit 1: Uh, where the hell did that icon come from? I had a different Hinata photo before and I have never even seen this one in my life. It's kind of creepy. Not the photo but how the photo is there...

YES, THAT'S RIGHT! I AM!

( Immortalized, am I? )</div>

So....an update on my life since last december (since I think it's been that long since I posted).

My computer:
         1) It doesn't like working properly.
         2) The internet is having an on and off relationship with it. 
         3) Apparently, this might be because it is having an affair with my printer. Both sides found out and are annoyed with it.
          4) Instead of killing the computer, they're killing my virtual memory, which means I can't always open my programs--not even Word, which I need for my write-ups.
           

Typical computer day:
Me: Turn on, turn on, it turned on!
Computer: Yes, but you shall have to wait a very long time for me to start up.
Me: D: WHY ARE YOU TAKING TWENTY MINUTES TO FULLY START-UP?
Computer: ...I'm trying to make the internet talk to me.
Me: ....ok, now that you are letting me on, while the internet work?
Internet: No.
Computer: Uh, it found out the printer.
Me: ....damn it.
Computer: Well, it wasn't my faul--
Me: Restarting now...let's see if it works.
Computer: How rude. I'm taking twenty more minutes.
Me: ....Ok, let's try again.

After going through this about ten times (I counted), the internet finally works. And then, after working for ten minutes (rather slowly), it finally decides to throw a jealous fit and stop working.

Then it murders the virtual memory again, which dies, and I'm back to the start.

Um, other quick things to add because I'm working in the library and it's closing and I'm getting kicked off the computer.
Two minute summary:
1) I had my exams this week. They went ok.
2) New semster! Which means I have Higher Level Bio and Chem. Joy.
3) Website project is finally finishing. I just have to get it tested a few more times within five days.
4) I've been practicing my cooking skills. Not quite ready though as I burned some cookies. D:
5) Reading a lot, writing a little, wish my computer would work properly so I could type up my stories.
6) Entered another writing contest, hopefully I'll win. Something.

And...time's up, so I have to go. Will update eventually. When my internet decides to let me.

My computer shall burn. Slowly.

ALL THAT WORK,,,,D<

I wrote my entire scipt, only to have the file turn corrupt and unable to open. My website work deleted itself.

This is not good at all. It's due today. I'm so screwed....D:

Apparently I'm going to have to face twenty cm of snow by the evening--and that is just today. Apparently THREE storm are going to hit Toronto. One today, tomorrow,and then Tuesday.

*sighs*

Oh well, I guess I can finally make a snowman. ^-^

Anyways, I still have school because the storm is hitting AFTER school. D: No snowday for me. However, it's hitting when I have a Rose Theatre shift, so my parents won't let me go and I'm missing the nutcracker.

Tomorrow, though, I'm seeing Aladdin, so all is well. ^-^ I wonder what it'll look like as a live performance.

AND MY LAYOUT HAS CHANGED. I credit...uh...I'll edit that in after I go check, which will be afterschool as my bus might leave without me. Anyways, it has HITMAN. &hearts;

And now I need to run.

So, after my three week kinda-haitus miss me?, I have returned. Those were very torturous weeks, with so many projects due that I barely had time to sleep.

( Birthday Presents )

So, the swim meet today was very hectic. We got on a bus, for an hour long ride to the meet place. Three of my friends and I started to play cards. There were just some minor problems.

Such as we didn't have a table.

Or a flat surface.

And we were in a moving bus.

Melon: Here, I'll be the deck. *holds out cards*
Short: I CAN'T REACH. MOVE CLOSER.
Coal: Uh, it would help if you moved to the seat in front of us.
Short: I CAN'T REACH THE CARD PILE EITHER.
Kuma: ...we need someone to be the table.
Melon: U.U
Coal: U.U
Kuma: NO. I REFUSE.
Short: Yay! *dumps cards on Kuma*

When we got there, it was rather crowded and we sat on the floor to eat lunch. We could barely hear the announcer over the whole "OMG! WIN HOMETEAM WIN!" and ended up just sitting near him and listening.

The warmups weren't really warm-ups for us. The different schools get different lanes. There were forty people in our team, so basically it went like this: Swim. Swim. Swim. Stop. Stop. Walk. Walk. Stop. Talk. OH-LOOK-THE-LINE-MOVED-A-LOT-SO-SWIM. Swim. Turn on wall. Stop.

My events were the 100m breastroke and 100m freestyle. I thought I was supposed to do 50. D<

I did terrible. D: For both events, it took me two minutes.
I was like half a lane behind everyone else.

And everyone else finished fifty meters in forty seconds. This means I need to cut my time by like forty seconds.

The relay was fun though. Especially because I jinxed my team.
Kuma: *struggles to put on goggles*
Hero: Here, I'll help tighten it. *takes off goggles and tightens it* And here we go...*puts it on Kuma*
SNAP. Goggles break.
Kuma: O.o
Hero: O.O
Kuma: My...
Hero: OMG. I DESTROYED YOUR GOGGLES. I'M SO SORRY. *HUG*
Kuma: Uh...it's ok?
Hero: I DESTROYED YOUR PRECIOUS GOGGLES. THIS IS AN EPIC DISASTER. *HUG*
Kuma: Really, they slip off anyways, so it's ok.
Hero: NOOO....WHY DID I DO THIS? *HUG*
Teammate #2: You really don't look sorry.
Hero: DDD:
Teammate #1: And stop hugging her. For serious.
Kuma: Hmm...look at the racers go. I wonder when we go on?
A girl from our swimteam: Let me go get my  goggles. I'm not in this race, so you can borrow it.
Hero: *SPAZZ*

The entire time we were spazzing, they did our race. Luckily, we were still able to go, but we had to go against the guys.
Teammate #2: HERO. DO IT.
Kuma:  YEAH! YOU CAN DO IT.
Hero: IT'S YOUR TURNS BEFORE ME. I'M LAST. STOP CHEERING ME AND CHEER TEAMMATE #1.
Teammate #1: *touches wall* GO HERO!
Hero: *looks at distance* There is no way I'm making up 25 meters and winning.
Kuma: YOU CAN DO IT. BELIEVE.
Teammate #1: Yeah, we know you can. Our team rests in your hands. You're our special secret.
Hero: Uh...There's no way I'm making up the fifty meters. Seriously.
Kuma: You will.
Teammate #1: Or else.
Teammate #2: *touches wall* NOW  WIN FOR US.

We sort of synched up and peer pressured her into going really fast. All for a good cause, of course.
We also got a cookie and played chinese poker in the back of the bus...XD

Edit: On a side note, why does the 'pessimistic' cat look so angry?
Edit : IT SNOWED. IT SNOWED A COUPLE OF CM. WHY DID IT DO THAT?

And I'm nervous and eating a cookie because tomorrow is the swim meet which I have been pacing around all week and...

I'M GOING TO BE THE ONE DROWNING IN THE POOL WHEN WE HAVE TO DO BUTTERFLY.

I'm like a meter or two behind everyone in practically every type of stroke. D: Which does not seem like much but it is a lot when you're the last one at the wall.

I'M TOTALLY GOING TO FAIL THIS.

I think I need another cookie. And a pocky.  Ignore how disorganized this is, my mind is just like it.

AND MY SWIM SUIT IS RIDICIOUSLY LOOSE. *is horrified* It looks like elephant skin or something.

On a positive note, my braces are off and I can finally eat without going, "OWW. MY JAW." anymore.

THE MEET. *___________________*

Simple things make me happy. It can be a small smile or a thank you, a 'good luck' or even letting me borrow an eraser. I've come to understand that big things don't always come and that taking the small things that come your way is better.
 
( Simple is as simple does )

Anyways, there was this festival today which was rather amusing because there were balloons and me getting lost in the bus again.

(Yes, like other times. Obviously I'm cursed and should pay better attention to this signs that warn me about this.)

( Hospitals and doctors )

I'M IN THE SWIMMING TEAM! YES!

(I'm rather surprised, though, because I've had zero excersise for a long time....)

And, I'm in the Bistro show too...D: This means I'm going to have to sing in front of everyone who buys a ticket.
...I think there is a mistake. I SHOULD NOT BE ON A STAGE. I TRIP. I CAUSE FIRES. I DESTROY WIRES.

Anyways, a quick update on the week. In terms of luck because I've noticed that the most.

Monday: Kuma: Hmmm...I think I'll take this bus home.
                Bus: ....*slows down*
                Kuma: YAY!
                Bus Driver: *waves*
                Kuma: *gets ready to get on*
                Bus: *speeds up*
                Kuma: WHAT? D<

Then, when I got on a bus....
             Kuma: I'll be home soon!
              Bus: *seems to contemplate that thought*
             Bus: *slows down for people to get on*
            Kuma: And then I'll eat and sleep....
            Bus: *won't move*
              Kuma: D<
The bus broke down. And the one after it. I'm cursed.

Tuesday:
Kuma: Eh? Why is my ear covered in...*touches ear* Blood?
Axel: What? BLOOD? I HAVE A BAND-AID!
Kuma: Oh, it's just my earring blood. My ears blood sometimes. It's allergic to earrings occasionally.
Axel: HERE. LET ME PUT ON THE BAND-AID.
Kuma: BUT IT'S DRY.
Axel: Kuma. Now.
Kuma: *takes off earring*
Axel: *puts on band-aid*
Kuma: Happy now?
Axel: Not yet. You didn't eat either.

Later: 
Kuma:  OMG. I LOST MY EARRING. NOOOO!

Wednesday:
Kuma: The bus is late...I wonder what time it is. *checks watch*
Bus: *is taking it's time*
Kuma: I CAN SEE YOU. HURRY UP. THERE ARE NO RED LIGHTS OR PEOPLE.
Bus: *slows down*
Kuma: BUT...
Lights: *turns red*
Kuma: I hate you.
Bus: *arrives*
Kuma: I love you. *gets on bus*

On the bus:

Kuma: My hand feels light...*looks at wrist* There's...
Bus: *drives away from stop*
Kuma: I think something is missing.

Ten minutes later:
Kuma: MY WATCH. IT'S AT THE STOP. DAMN.

Thursday:

Kuma: MEH.
Kitty: What's wrong?
Kuma: I forgot my pencil case. And my homework. AND MY AWESOME LANYARD WITH TEH BUTTONS.
Kitty: ...well...if you're lucky, no one will notice.
Kuma: Yeah. Most teachers don't check for the lanyard....

Period 1
English Teacher: ALL OF YOU WITHOUT LANYARDS, COME IN THE CENTER.
Kuma: Damn.
English Teacher: Now, sing and dance to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Other Lanyard forgettor #1: Ok! *starts to dance*
Kuma: That's Itsy Bitsy Spider.
#1: Oh? Then what about this?
Kuma: That's I'm a little Teapot.
Kuma's friend, Debbles the pebbles: HERE'S HOW YOU DANCE!
Lanyard forgettors: *starts to dance and sing really badly*
English Teacher: Next time, you will all have to dress up and sing to a Celion Dion song.

Friday:

Kuma: Eh? What is this? MY CHOCOLATE?
Mulk: ...No?
Kuma: D:
Witch: Well...it was just there...and we wanted to....
Kuma: T_T
Mulk: WE DIDN'T EAT ALL OF IT!
Kuma: *stares at tiny crumble left* *_________________*
Witch: We should run now.
Mulk: Yeah, and I should tell you, we also took your other chocolate. And crackers.

Kuma: BURN. WHEN I GET YOU, ALL OF YOU SHALL--
Teacher: Stop yelling. Because of that, you are helping me with some errands.
Kuma: BUT...
Teacher: Hurry up.

Monday (GOOD LUCK. FINALLY.):
Kuma: Hey...I'm in the Bistro show.
Kitty: Me too. Isn't that awesome?
Kuma: ...NOO. IT'S HORRIBLE. WHY ME?
Kitty: You auditioned?
Kuma: BUT IT WAS FOR TIKA. I DIDN'T WANT TO SUFFER HER WRATH.
Kitty: But you got in!
Kuma: ME AND SINGING IS BAD. YOU KNOW THAT.
Kitty: Eh....oh yes....our practices....

Kuma: *looks at computer table* My earrring....woe....
Mulk: Yes, the earring. *snickers*
Kuma: GROWL. *goes to turn on computer* Hey, is that--*pushes mouse off table*
Mulk: There she goes again, destroying everything in sight.
Kuma: THE MOUSE. COME BACK.
Girl in class: MICE? THEY INVADED ALREADY?
Kuma: *goes undertable to get mouse* COME ON, MOUSE!
Girl in class: MICE. RUN FOR YOUR LIVES.
Other girl in class: Uh...there are computer mice you know.
Kuma: TADAH! I GOT IT.
Girl in class: Oh...yeah...computer class....ha ha...
Kuma: *looks under keyboard* MY EARRING.

And then there was today. When I got into swimming. I'M FEELING BETTER ALREADY. Oh, and my halloween layout. ^-^

And the singing is on halloween....D: *self destructs*

I've promised this for a while now and finally, after several months, I'm going to do it. Pictures of the mural my anime club is working on, as well as, sadly, pictures of me.

(Is it too late to worm out of the last one?)

First, the less scarring one, our anime club mural. Bet you can't guess which one's I've done (or at least, for some, helped with).


( Pictures of you, pictures of me )
