Where is my Yin?

Tue, 20 Oct 2009 04:14:26 GMT

Before I begin, I promise to visit everyone's journals later. I've been ridicolously busy for these last few days--it's like everyone decided to pile up the homework this year.
I barely had time to watch the two DTB episodes that are out.

SPAZZINESS. ~~Spoilers.~~

BIG THING:
YIN? WHAT? NO. THOSE HINTS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO MEAN ANYTHING ABOUT HER DISAPPEARING.

WHAT HAPPENED TO MY HEI/YIN FLUFF? I WAS EXPECTING SOME, DAMMIT.

Angsty fluff does not count. ~~It's cute that Hei has turned into a scruffy alcholic bum over this and she is the first thought on his mind, but WHAT?~~

WHY WOULD SHE LEAVE HIM? AFTER THE WHOLE 'DON'T LEAVE ME' BIT?

And I'm abusing capslock, again.

-I like Suou and her squirrel. They amuse me--especially the squirrel's antics. XD I want a Pei.
-Shion is smarter than I expected. At first, at the end of episode one, I thought 'Aww, he still loves his sister'. ~~Ignores the fact that he is a contractor.~~ Then I saw all the people chasing 'Shion' and realized he used her as bait.
-APRIL DIED. IT'S ALREADY THE SECOND EPISODE AND SHE DIED? I LIKED HER.
-July is all alone. D: He's like an orphan.
-August died too. Sure, he appeared for only two episodes, but he seemed cool. Especially his powers. Maybe he'll come back? ~~He is a magician.~~
-Nice how they show the changes in Hei--the bags around his eyes, the stubble, the wild hair. I miss the nice-looking Hei ~~(reruns!)~~ but the new hair is kinda nice. If only he kept the mask on and showed a profile.
-That guy-who-got-kissed looks kind of like Hei, so I confused them during episode two. *sigh*
-Wait, this means that Hei is working for CIA? I need the backstory now.
-Yin's apparent death explains why she's shown for a microsecond in the opening and ending.
-Backstory brings her death and angsty fluff...Not sure If I want this or not anymore.
-CAMERA! Forgot to mention that. I love that camera!
-Tamera--wow, everything fell apart at once.
-WHAT SORT OF A MAN IS NAKI FOR DITCHING SUOU? SHE'S THE ONE BEING CHASED. ~~Sure, Tamera is gone, but she's not in danger right now!~~
-KISSER-GUY IS AWESOME. I love him already
-IThat preview for episode three makes me happy and sad. I mean, if he actually died, maybe he'd find Yin?

My favourite clip so far, though, is when that boy...can't remember his name, but the one who's contract makes him kiss other guys (I can already see the yaoi fans. XD
...that is, if he is a boy like I suspect.)
Anyways, I love the 'I'm into chicks'. XD It's like he's aware of the yaoi fans.
(And why does he kiss so long anyways? I can understand the guy's if that's his contract requirements but still...
AND THE HANDY-DANDY WATERBOTTLE. He probably carries them everywhere. XD)

Feels nice to post that. I felt the urge to spazz after watching both episodes and I can't wait till tomorrow to do so.

It's coming, it's coming...

Wed, 16 Sep 2009 23:31:41 GMT

Well, it's been a few months since I posted, but before I get to anything:

DARKER THAN BLACK HAS A SECOND SEASON.

I NEED NOTHING ELSE.
~~Well, maybe some good grades and a direction and unversity acceptance, but I digress.~~

This means that next year, there might be some more cosplayers. Even a Yin one. ~~And more stuff to buy.~~

Now back to my year so far:

My classes: a) Chemistry--with Mrs.Clayton, the best teacher on the planet. I will pass this time. YES I WILL. D<
                       b) English--with Mrs. Burton, a scary teacher that apparently is soft. Sure. I doubt I'll be able to get a good mark because I'm terrible at essays.
                      c) Lunch. Third period, for the first time in a few years. WHY? Everyone else is having fourth, so it's only a handful of people at lunch. D< And lunch at this time is too early. When it's fourth, at least I only have one period left. Now I have half a day. D:
                      d) French. I might pass this, as long as I pick up my volcabulary. Which I'm working on, so I might be able to do that. Then the only problem is remembering the words when I write.
                      e) Biology--Mr. Crawford talks in an almost monotone, quiet voice that makes me feel sleeping. Not good.

We went on a field trip to count trees today. Not too bad, because one of my friends kept dropping her stick and tripping and running into spiderwebs and trees.
(I shouldn't be laughing, but her reactions to everything was hilarious! Her eyes bugged out sometimes, and for the oddest reasons. Like Mr. Crawford pointing at a tree's bark.)
Nearly got lost in the forest (COMPASS POWER! They really are handy) and I didn't get to go as deep in as I liked. I should have ran straight in after a while.
I got to touch a deer's antler, a beaver pelt, and a raccoon pelt. They were so soft!

Then I got an allergic reaction and have spent the rest of the day wheezing.

Anyways, I have to work on my extended essay, which I should finish this week so I can submit it next week....

BRING ON THE MARKS.

Wed, 08 Jul 2009 00:25:45 GMT

I haven't updated in a while...

Anyways, my May exams went ok for math (it seemed almost too easy) and I bombed the ITGS one. I wasn't prepared enough (my fault, completely. I spent too much time in one area) and then got a fever the second day of it. *sigh*

However, we got our marks yesterday, and I TOTALLY ACED.

I GOT A 7 IN MATH AND 6 IN ITGS.

OH YEAH, SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET A SURPRISE. MAYBE TWO.

It's awesome, even though I know my mark is obvious inflated and the rest of the world who took the exams must have bombed even more than I did. Because there is no way I got a 6 in ITGS otherwise.
(Well, there could be a miracle or some divine intervention....)

(For those non-IB people, a 7 is as close to 100% as you can get and a 6 is in the high 90's.)

I'm not doing quite as good in Biology or Chemistry, but I have time to study them and improve that.

(I also have that dratted EE and World Lit paper to work on over the summer. *sigh*)

I've been taking grade 11 physics in summer school and it is kind of boring so far. I drew a sink, I was that bored. It's improving, a little. The school it's held in is so big--there are three floors with confusing hallways that lead to dead ends, stairs, and each other. I've gotten lost several times. You can go on one of the lower roofs, which is awesome and I'm doing that tomorrow. As soon as I find the doors, that is. There are murals on the walls everywhere (even Mario!) and their manga selection is bigger than my school's and in some parts, more updated than the public library..
(I can catch up in xxxHolic, Tsubasa, and Kare Kano. Finally.)

Other than that, not a very fun summer so far. I can't wait to see the shakespeare plays they have at the theatre--they have A Midsummer's Night Dream and this comedy where all 35 of shakespeares plays are performed in 2 hours by 3 actors.

That is going to be fun.

I'm back!

Tue, 19 May 2009 13:19:10 GMT

Finally, my exams are over. The math was a lot easier than I expected, but I totally screwed up on my ITGS one. I think I should have memorized more.

It also didn't help that during paper two, the one with the three essays and 9 other questions, I got a fever. I had it in the morning, it semi-cooled down during the exam. I was able to concentrate enough to actually write, but I don't think I put enough info in. D:

Then I got sick for the whole weekend. I either slept or spent the day in a comatose condition. I even had a fever. And a cough that will not go away even now.

AND WHY WOULD SOMEONE WANT TO DRINK GATORADE? IT TASTES HORRIBLE. IT'S LIKE DILUTED DRINKS. EXCEPT WORSE.

Our cousins are coming over for a visit--I think this will be the second time I've met them. I think it's safe to say that I've actually met nearly all of my cousins twice at most.

Next weekend, though, will be awesome.

ANIME NORTH WILL BE THEN. WITH COSTUMES AND EVENTS AND LITTLE BUTTONS OF ADORABLE CHARACTERS AND STUFF.
I'LL EVEN GET A MOKONA PLUSHIE. AGAIN. THE BLACK ONE THIS TIME.

Yeah, I'm very excited about this. I'm cosplaying as Kero--working on my wings right now--and I'm having a special guest come for the day too, so I'm happy.

Ohh...I need to go and recharge my camera's batteries...

Phantom of laughter...

Thu, 30 Apr 2009 02:19:52 GMT

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

Breathe in, Breathe out

Wed, 22 Apr 2009 03:24:23 GMT

Uh, thanks for all the comments last time. It made me feel much better. ^-^

(Though, then came the respiratory system and I crashed back into the mid-ground.)

I was going to reward everyone with a small video of me from the bistro show (if you're lucky, you would hear me sing) or a small thing from our culture fest that has my voice in it so people could finally hear my voice.

Unfortunately, I have no idea how to do either. ~~I take a technology course and I'm still as clueless as ever. HELP?~~

And uh, new layout! ^-^ Isn't it pretty? I also changed nearly all of my icons. (I want more than 15 icons but I don't want to pay either...D:)

Tomorrow is our culture fest. Originally, I was going to be a Emperor (CROSS-DRESSING FTW!), but the heads were frightened of the idea and decide no cross-dressers. Even if we don't have enough guys. D<

Instead I'm going to be a Vietnam Empress, dressed in a pretty white dress(?) with some ribbons on my hair. I'm also going to be wearing make-up for the first time on a none-halloween occasion. I barely even know what is going to be put on me.

As fun as that is, I'm terrified of tomorrow.

And not because of stage fright.

The dress is a little small, so besides me barely fitting in, if I so much as try to breath I will die. I can only take small breaths (is that what a pregnant woman feels like?) and I can't move my arms at all. It actually physically pains me to bend my wrist. My arms fall asleep and all blood is cut off from my hands. That's how bad it is.
Luckily, I just have to wear it for two hours straight.

So, if I mysteriously die, you know why now.

The Usher's Hand Manual

Thu, 26 Mar 2009 03:36:26 GMT

My week in a nutshell...

A) Working at the Rose Theatre is fun, because there are so many free shows I get to see but at other times...it is exhausting. Well, not exhausting per say. It's more of an headache thing. That and having a lot of free time with nothing that you can do at all.

It wasn't that bad this shift. There were the most adorable little kids singing and dancing. Two of them--3 and 4 years old--dressed up like lions and danced to the Lion King.

Other things that happened:

1) I became that lady. You know the one--when you were little and running around causing havoc and chaos, she was there. When you were trying to find something fun to do due to boredom, she magically popped up. When you were even considering touching the display, she was the one who grabbed your hands. She's the one who keeps the rules followed, everything in order, and the little kids bored and scared.

2) Luckily, there was that dad. The kind that yells before that lady and makes her appear to be the good guy.

3) This mean that only half of the kids cringed and ran away when they saw me. The other hallf managed to control their reactions and only walk away, smiling. The half that ran got yelled at by the guy in charge, which meant more for my half.

4) Kids are scary with their speed and hiding capablities. If they want to sneak out, they will find a way. When you are the only one in charge of a huge theatre and sitting in one corner, distracted by the dancing going on, it is very easy to not notice things. There were four kids in one corner, I take my eyes off for a second, and suddenly they were crawling all over the place. On kid climbing up the stairs closest to me, the other to the one furthest, another crawling between the seats, another by the door, and somehow they multipled into ten.

It was frightening.

5) The worst thing about trying to keep an eye out for trouble is that the boss comes in when there is too much trouble. The manager came like three-four times, but each time he appeared either there were too many kids doing things so I missed some or it was oddly peaceful and I was doing nothing.

I'm worried he thinks I'm a slacker. D:

6) Parents tend to ooh and awww a lot. Especially when it is their kid on stage and doing something aww-worthy. There was like a chorus of those sounds around me--in sync too. Very scary. However, then these parents would feed their kids inside the theatre, which isn't allowed, and increased my work. I ended up having to turn scary. Especially when the angry moms wanted to stay in and eat.

And that's enough for now. I might add more to this list of things that occur at the theatre. Oh, here's one.

8) It's a given that a show will either start late or end late. Most likely, both. When it does, this just means that when you promised your parents to be home by ten, you'll be home by eleven if you're lucky and if you're luckier, they won't be in a paticularly angry and vindictive mood.

I did see The Hunchback of Notre Dame, though. It was interesting--a fusion of an old black and white movie from the pre-sound era (they edited it a little so only the words they wanted came), dancers, and singers. There was a rock group that played some music and a cast that sang songs every now and then to add emotion--a gambit that worked very well after the first rough and boring start--and dancing to just make some spice. I liked it after the beginning. The singing and dancing finally had some purpose.

B) Another thing that happened was a friend's birthday party. It was fun but very interesting. Two of my guy friends, Pickle and Monster, ended up singing girl songs with these high pitched voices. Occasionally, their voices would crack because they had to put some effort to making that noise, but it was amazing. It was one of those Karoke games and they hit every pitch perfectly.

That scared me--when did they practice that?--and made me envious. They could sing better than me. D<

I ended up eating my lunch near a cactus--ow--and Monster had to sit in front of a large window. He kept thinking he would fall out. Of course, it didn't help everyone was plotting that while he was eating. He also made a call me sign to the guy from the building across and A-Cubed, his girlfriend, pushed him towards the cactus. Which made the cactus fall on me. D:

(And, uh, those pricks? They might be small but they hurt. Oh, do they hurt.)

AND I FINALLY PLAYED KH2 AGAIN. I played it once before and now...I MADE IT PAST THE FIRST PART. Kingdom of Hearts is amazing, I have to admit. I passed the whole Twlight part and made a sad face when Roxas disappeared into Sora. D: It was sad and I was worried I killed Axel for a moment.

I rather don't see why all my friends hate Riku. He doesn't seem that hate-worthy. Oh well.

The worst part about finishing that section was that I found out I made it to the opening. Yeah. All that hard work and me cringing everytime someone appeared, ready to fight, got me only to the beginning. Hopefully I can find away to play some more...^-^ I want to make it to the Lion King part, which is apparently really far away.

C) I'm working on another story, an original this time. I really like the idea I'm doing though I have no idea what to do with some of the characters. Actually, for that matter, I have no idea who some of the characters are. XD

I've also watched a few episodes of Gossip girl--I can't say I hate it because it amuses me how they think. I'm putting that and Hero's on the backburner--I'm intimadated by them. So many episodes, I wonder if I really should watch it all...
Instead, I'll be watching to Mei-chan no Shinjutsi or Mei-chan's butler. It's supposedly hilarious. I'll watch the first episode tomorrow...*is excited*
<strike>I'm contemplating watching Darker Than Black...</strike>

My computer, I've discovered, has some sort of Trojan Virus. I'll check again which one it is later. D: Anyways, I tried using anti-virus software, only to have my internet die. Now I got rid of it and my internet works, only I can't send emails. Isn't that strange?
And this is my first virus too...D:

And then there was one

Sat, 14 Mar 2009 14:42:21 GMT

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.

Dead awake....

Wed, 04 Mar 2009 04:57:58 GMT

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.

Anyways, I need to get back to my Math IA, where I shall soon be sleeping and dreaming of math and like our teacher keeps saying, I will be screaming equations out in my sleep. D: I don't look forward to that. Right now I'm avoiding the ending a little because my head feels light and dizzy--probably due to the little sleep I got yesterday as I studied for a bio test and a chem quiz. And I won't be sleeping tomorrow as I have a whole report to wrap up and cut down the words until it is at least three quarters of what I wrote. I also won't get any on thursday as I have to help out with a school concert and do a lab.

D:

I miss my bed.

Anyways, before I end up falling asleep as I work, I need to finish most of this IA. I still have lunch, luckily.

Positive news: Yesterday's swim team dinner was fun. We went to the Mandarin, my first time visiting it ever. Really.

I ended up walking to it after school, which was a bad idea because besides breaking my back, my legs froze. I nearly got lost too, as usual, but apparently that would have been really my fault. The restuarant was at the end of a long road and I nearly turned off wondering if I was going in the right direction when I saw a green roof and assumed it was the restuarant.
(The ad's did this to me. I'm very lucky I was right.)

Ironically, I got lost in the restuarant while looking for the bathroom. There were too many rooms and the funny thing is that I kept passing the corridor for the rest room everytime I was getting desert.

(Which was good. The only problem was that the people refilling the food realized I was having difficulties with the cheesecake slices--which is just because the cheesecake was sticking together--and decided it was their life mission to help me whenever I was trying to get food.

That sort of made it awkward when I kept trying to grab something and they appeared there before me. And they kept smiling while they did it, which made it hard for me to refuse them.)

Two of our team members had an eating contest, one of them tried mussles and sushi for the first time. They both used chopsticks for the first time and it was fun to watch them try. Especially the one who ate sushi and kept looking like he was about to throw up.

(I would have taken it more seriously except he kept going back to get more food, so I suspect it was all just a ruse to get my friend to stop shovelling seafood onto his plate.

It didn't quite stop her from doing it to everyone else's. XD)

I ended up catching the bus home, luckily, instead of walking to the school again and catching a bus. Do not question why I did not take it or the shorter route to the Mandarin in the first place.

Now, time to go back to the IA....D:

And the results are....

Sat, 28 Feb 2009 20:07:48 GMT

Well, I've been trying to upload my pictures but my computer for some reason does not recongize my camera.

Which is wierd. Very wierd. I'm having my friend do it for me now, so hopefully I will get my pictures up by then. *is annoyed*

On to more positive news.

IN OUR SWIM MEET, MY SCHOOL WAS PLACED FIVE OUT OF THE FIFTY SCHOOLS THAT WENT. THAT IS JUST AWESOME.

Of course, I didn't place quite as high, 24, out of something, but still....^-^ I didn't do too badly. I just didn't seem to improve my timing that much. I had a few friends get to the finals, though some got disqualified. D: The judge thought they quick-started or something like that but we can't argue about it.

At least five of our teammates are going to the ontario wide meet. *is jealous* I hope they do good. We're having a team dinner on Monday, so that'll be good.

My bio class is going to New Brunswick to a marine lab. It's a week long and I'm going to try to convince my dad to let me go. Hopefully, he'll agree.

If not, he better not complain when I go get material for my costume to Anime North. I'm going as Kero, from Cardcaptors. I wonder if I should make it completely myself or get a tailor to help....hmm...

Finally, my friend who moved to New Jersey sent me an awesome drawing. It's so cute and amazing.

It's a lot smaller but anyways, here it is. My friends and I are sending her an envelope filled with letters and drawings from us as a suprise. I was going to put some food in there too, but I don't think that's allowed...D:

Anyways, I have to do an Math IA, my ITGS work, and finish off three gift!fics.

In a moment, everything can change...

Sat, 14 Feb 2009 00:13:57 GMT

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...

GUESS WHO'S AN AUTHOR?

Fri, 06 Feb 2009 03:24:54 GMT

YES, THAT'S RIGHT! I AM!

Or rather, I'm going to be a published poet, but I'm not really sure what the term for that is. Anyways, I entered a contest a couple of months ago and submitted a poem in it. I didn't really expect anything and then last Friday, my friend told me I would get a letter.

The fortune-teller she is, it happened and TADAH! I'M GOING INTO A BOOK! INTO A REAL BOOK WHICH I HAD TO SNEAK MONEY OUT TO BUY. AND I'M GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT TILL MAY TO GET IT BUT WHO CARES?

A BOOK.

I'M IN A BOOK.

WHAT COULD BE MORE AWESOME?

I didn't post this before because I was afraid I'll jinx myself and lose the reply envelope. Which I nearly did, but yay! I sent it.

<strike>Did I mention I'm going to be in a book?</strike>

The only unawesome thing about this is that it costs $14.95 to put my name and such in it, so I can't do that. I hope they put my name at least, instead of just writing "A student" or something.

I'M SO EXCITED, ANYWAYS.

P.S. I'm going to Anime North in May and I hope I have enough money for the convention. I really want to buy a huge Mokona Plushie. Though, I'm planning on dressing up as either Kero from Cardcaptors or Kanda from D.Grayman. Either I'm a lion with wings or I'm a guy (who I've seen done often). I'm kinda leaning towards Kero because on the second day there's a Clamp Photoshoot, but...hmm...Which one is better?
P.P.S. Here's the poem.

Disappointment
A heavy, sinking feeling
Chest tight,
(Breath, breath, breath)
Throat closed,
(Air, no air, where's the air?)
Eyes burning, tears glimmer
(Don't cry, stand strong, don't cry)
"I'm fine" you say--you lie
Stomach falls, a bottomless pit
Where's the ground? Gravity is gone,
A weightless feeling
(Where are my wings?)
Reality sinks in, a bitter taste
Something bursts,
(Another dream broken, another dream lost)
A ticking sound fills your ears,
At first muffled, filters in,
Then louder and louder
The ticking is a clock,
The seconds fly by,
And the sands of time continue to flow
(Breathing starts again)

Isn't it AWESOME?
(Well, not really, but I'm allowed to think so.)

(Luckily, I had a week to contain this excitement.)

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.

Wed, 07 Jan 2009 11:52:23 GMT

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:

Let it snow...

Fri, 19 Dec 2008 12:01:29 GMT

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.

Birthday Presents = Love--> CAMERA!

Sat, 13 Dec 2008 01:51:55 GMT

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.

And my computer is acting up on me. The keyboard makes it hard to type, the internet is running three times slower, and I had to rewrite this sentence four times because WHY ARE THE WORDS NOT POPPING INTO PLACE?

D<

Anyways, my birthday was awesome and the wierdest thing I have ever seen. For the first hour, we were playing tag by hitting people with the fragments of a popped balloon. It was fun but very, very sad to look at. However, I have the honour of never being tagged, so it redeemed itself. My two friends are frightened of little children, which was too bad for them because my sister had her friends over for her birthday.

~~(That's it. I'm moving to the library. This is so damn ANNOYING. D< I like proper spelling.)~~

There was a little kid who just kept attacking them, using paper bags and pillows. XD It was hilarious watching them cower. Later, though, every single guest got their revenge on me--no idea why they choose me--and covered my face with cake.

Presents were cool, I got a gamecube which I'm having the hardest time setting up.
Witch: What's that?
Me: I don't know...*opens it* It''s a--
Mulk: Yeah, I gave you one of my old gamecubes.
Witch: IT'S A CUBE.
Me: A REAL CUBE!
Witch: A 3-D NOT RECTANGLE.
Me: A CUBE.
Witch: I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A NAME.
Me: ME TOO!
Mulk: It's sad how fascinated you are.
Witch: Quiet, we have to watch it for a moment.

Me: Hmm...what are these cords for...
Sis: Well, I think they go there. *points*
Me: Let's check. *tries* THEY WON'T FIT!
Sis: NOOOO....YOU LIE!
Me: How did you know?
Sis: WHAT? D<

Me: See these three cords, the red, the yellow, and the white?
Sis: Yeah?
Me: I don't get it. What do we do?
Sis: Don't they get plugged in?
Me: Not the wall socket, different shapes!
Sis: Hey, look there, at the tv back!
Me: They fit there! Now, where to put it...
Sis: ....
Me: ....
Sis: ....
Me: DON'T CUT THE RED ONE.
Sis: What?
Me: I was bored.
Sis: Wait, I see colours! A red, a yellow, and a white!
Me: Cool. I see green
Sis: On the TV.
Me: ohh....let's try it!

We plugged it in, turned it on, and it still isn't working. I'll try again later.

I also got a digital camera! Which means I have no excuse to not send photos anymore. IT IS JUST AWESOME. A Canon Rebel. =D

And..I got a game called how to survive life. I'm sure it will be useful. Or fun to laugh at.

So that's all. ^-^

The sad thing is my parents forgot my birthday--it was the monday after the party--and didn't remember it until two days later. D:

Oh, I had a swim meet and I cut seven seconds off my freestyle and 6 seconds off my breast stroke. *is awesome* Everything is now below two minutes.

I just have to cut down ten more seconds.

Yesterday, there was a winter concert and I dressed up like a Christmas tree. I have a picture, will upload it later when I go to the library to use the computer. It was fun, I saw a 'pink' little red-riding hood, little boys dressed up like nut crackers, and I heard "The House of the Rising Sun."
I had to preform a little and lost my place once.
Character: And so we want you to come hear, my dear, and give this place a very loud cheer.
Me: ....
Character: ...
Me: ....
Character: *whispers* Dude, your line.
Me: Uh...
Character: akdfawieruapwiojenkfnsma
Me: What?
Chracter: ahfowiehjfvnsljaen
Me: Uh, have a good night?
Character: AND NOW, PRESENTING, THE SENIOR BAND.
Me: Oohh....

And I was an old Mr. Christmas Tree. Little kids called me that. XD

I also got into the Rose Theatre, so besides volunteering there, I will getting free tickets shows...Like The Tempest. Or Chantal--a singer--Kreviazuk....(~~Ok, name spelled wrong),~~ Still, this is just awesome, they once had Cats preform there....

In my ITGS class,we're taking apart computers and calculators...XD THIS IS JUST SO FUN. We use screwdrivers and all srots of things to take it apart. I think we are supposed to do this so we know the insides of these things, but it's just fun....
We also played 'educational activities' again. Like a board game that promotes our creative thinking, a game on making paper chains that had term words, and of course, learng foriegn customs such as one that involves excessive touching and anoher that involved interrupting--from real countries. VERY educational. And fun.

Tommorrow, I will be making balloon animals for kids.....This is going to be stressful....

The little train that couldn't

Thu, 20 Nov 2008 03:51:05 GMT

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 last place goes to...

Wed, 19 Nov 2008 04:40:57 GMT

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

Fri, 07 Nov 2008 04:36:44 GMT

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.

And especially when it comes with my friends. I am relatively new to friendships, in a sense, because for years what I thought was 'friendship' is actually 'classmates' or 'I-know-her-but-not-really'.

(And this might be because of my really really trusting nature and the abilty to think that the world is safer than it is, that the random person I'm helping is really nice and might not be a criminal waiting to be caught. I talk to the crossing guard after school on the way home and that for me was friendship.)

Anyways, I'm really happy today, because one of my friends told me to be careful on the way home and that he was serious and that if I was attacked (because I was leaving for home at like 9ish and catching a bus too), I should attack someone.

Yes, it is just a piece of advice, but we aren't that close and I thought he was annoyed by me. And then he told me that and I had a goofy grin the whole way home. I guess we are closer friends than I expected.

(I'm really insecure, BTW. Just in case you couldn't tell.)

And another one of my friends, in this card game, remembered it was my turn, and actually stopped the game for me. ^-^
I think this smile of mine won't be coming of for a while.

Edit: I just reread it and realized how lame this all sounded.
....
Especially the last one.

Edit: I've also discovered there is a heaven and will be forcing a friend to make some more cupcakes.
A lot more cupcakes.

Edit: 'Little Brother' is an amusing book. However, I can't say the same for City of Bones and City of Ashes.

What's that burning?

Wed, 05 Nov 2008 00:44:10 GMT

Last week, I panicked completely about singing in a bistro show (kinda like a talent show, except cooler). On Friday, I sat at the third closest row to the stage, in the little performers' section, and panicked some more.

Only to find out towards the end, they didn't notice me and skipped my name.

*______________________________________*

I was reallly, really, really looking forward to it. I mean, I panicked and imagined half the audience laughing and was trying to figure out how to weasel out of it, but I didn't really want to miss my turn.

TT__________________TT

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This Thursday we have a concert in our school and I am attempting to make cookies.

Notice the word attempt.

(Attempt, verb, to try to perform, make, or achieve.
As in, something Kuma reaches when she tries something because she never quite makes it past this stage.)

On the ingrediants was butter, which was something I am utterly disgusted by.
This meant enlisting my sister's help.

Me in the kitchen is bad enough, but my sister and me in the kitchen together--this is just trouble.

Sis: I'm melting the butter so it's easier to beat.
Me: Sure. Don't melt it too much.
Sis: Uh...is liquid butter too much?
Me: ....

Me: I have to melt chocolate, how long do you think it'll take?
Sis: Three minutes.
Me: Hmm...I thought two...
Sis: Just do it for five and we'll stop.
Me: Ok!
Sis: ....do you smell something burning?
Me: Oh...I think two minutes would have been enough.

Sis: It says flour is needed.
Me: ....we have two different kinds. Which one would be better?
Sis: ...
Me: ...
Me: I think I'll use the normal one. *pours it in*
Mom: Hey, you should have used the other one...it makes better cookies...
Me: What does this one do?
Mom: ..it makes it tougher. Like whole wheat.
Me: DAMN.

Me: Look! Sugar!
Sis: How much is needed?
Me: One and a half cups.
Sis: *pours it in*
Me: Oh wait, it was supposed to be half a cup.
Sis: ...
Me:...I'll add more ingrediants.

Me: Look, we're done!
Sis: There's a big mess.
Me: *looks around* Yes...
Mom: Hello.
Me: >.>
Mom: ..why are nearly all of my spoons and bowls out, my counter covered in chocolate, and--you will clean it.
Sis: Sure, right Kuma--
Mom: ...
Sis: ...She's gone, isn't she.
Mom: *nods*
Sis: D<

Anyways, I will know how ~~good~~ bad they taste in about three hours, when they are down refrigrating and I can actually start baking them.

ASKDLJSLD; YES.

Sun, 26 Oct 2008 04:05:06 GMT

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.)

Anyways, I went to the hospital again yesterday and now we're setting up a date for me to take a few scans. My favourite part of the long day was finding out about a new doctor I have to visit.

Kuma: Who's this? *points at name*
Sticker-lady: Oh, that's your new doctor. You have to visit him for a while.
Kuma: Ok...but...uh...who is he? Where is he?
Sticker-lady: Well...he's...Hmmm...
Kuma: Is he new?
Sticker-lady: No, he's been....here for a while, I think.
Kuma: ...
Sticker-lady:...
Kuma: You have no idea who he is, do you?
Sticker-lady: No. D:

So we spent an hour finding him only to realize they spelled his name wrong and that's why we couldn't find him. And I had a fun lunch at the hospital. (As long as you eat at the restaurants at the ground floor, the food is great.)

And, it's been completely confirmed that my mother's throat cancer is gone. ^-^ Therefore, her hair is no longer thinning like it used to...and she only has to visit for yearly check-ups. I'm ridicioulsy happy about this because it has been years since she's started treatment and I've been trying to calm down this welling in me and wow and I am planning on giving her a huge gift. Or something. And make better birthday/mother's day gifts. We're planning on taking her out and ASKDJALSDK;, IT'S GONE. Which means no more hospital visits where I am told, "Mom is just going for a check-up. Nothing to worry about." And no more, "Oh, my hair? It's just age." And now there are just pills and that is fine because I can deal with pills. They are something I understand. I have a whole drawer full of them. I think I need to go hug my mom again.

And a meme because, I JUST LOVE THIS ONE. And it's good to share joy.

if you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now, (even if we don't speak often or ever) please post a comment with a COMPLETELY MADE UP AND fictional memory of you and me.

it can be anything you want - good or bad - but it has to be fake.

when you're finished, post this little paragraph in your LJ and see what your friends come up with

I've been wanting to try this out for a while. XD
*is excited*

Oh my....

Wed, 22 Oct 2008 02:41:21 GMT

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*

So, this is me

Thu, 09 Oct 2008 02:34:11 GMT

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).

And now, because I've delayed this for too long, here is me.

Run while you can.

Me, hot and sweaty after a run.

*runs away*

Kuma's Kingdom of Doom, Part Three

Mon, 06 Oct 2008 02:18:04 GMT

Well, it's been a while since I updated, so, here is another one of my entries of doom. Obviously, this is a sign I'm bottling things up and therefore should release my writing urges more often.

Preferably with the stories I'm writing.

1. ITGS--Where there are movies with acting so bad, it's actually good.
          a) Our teacher spent hours arguing with yet another teacher over the pronounciation of an acronym called 'PIPEDA
          b) Students: ...
          c) Our Teacher: It's prounonced "PEE-PI-DE-A"
          d) Random Teacher: NO, IT'S PROUNONCED "PEE-HIP-A
          e) Students: Uh, can we--
           f) R. T.: LOOK. SEE WHAT YOU'RE DOING? THEY CAN'T PRONOUNCE IT RIGHT.
          g) O. T.: No, I'M SHOWING THE RIGHT WAY.
           h) R.T.: They'll be laughing stocks in the real world.
          i) Students: When we will we even pronounce--
           j) R.T.: THESE POOR STUDENTS. *grabs one* You poor child. Shall I show you the right way?
           k) O. T.: Stop taking my students! They are pronouncing it right!
           l) Student #1: Er...You know, you both are pronouncing two different things.
           m) R.T. : WHAT? ARE YOU SAYING I'M--
           n) O. T.: Yeah, you are wrong, aren't you? *looks smug*
           o) Student #2: What he's saying is that you're both wrong, There is a 'PIPEDA' and a 'PHIPA'.
           p) R.T.: ....u.u
           q) O.T. : ....u.u
           r) O.T.: Uh...I knew that.

          The movie itself was amusing. Commentary is in italics.
          a) Scenario #x: There are two doctors. They discover *le gasp* their room has been broken into.
          b) Student #1: Yeah, welcome to the real world.
          c) Doctor #1: Yeah, so I was, like, doing this, and I totally didn't like the meeting.
          d) Doctor #2: Really? I thought that you were so into this whole idea.
          e) Doctor #1: *opens door* Well no--*sees room*
          f) Doctor #1: .....
           g) Doctor #2: ....
          h) Doctor #1: ....
          i) Doctor #2: >.>
          k) Doctor #1: O.o OH MY GAWD! WHAT HAPPENED HERE?
          l) Student #2: Well, lady, if you see the messy papers and stuff, I'm guessing you have cleaned up in a year.
         m) Doctor #1: WE'VE BEEN ROBBED.
         n) Student #3: Yeah, I guess it wasn't obvious at first. Unlocked doors and open drawers are normal things to find.
         o) Doctor #1: WHAT SHOULD I DO? THERE WERE PATIENT RECORDS AND--Oh look at the time. I have a patient to look after.
         p) Doctor #2: But what about--
         q) Doctor #1: Look after it, please? I'm very distraught and can't do things properly myself.
         r) Student #1: I can totally see that. Why don't you lie down?
         s) Security guard: So, are you telling me that you have no idea if you locked the doors?
           t) Student #3: Wow, I really trust them enough to put my life in their hands.
         u) Our teacher: Uh, I know the acting is horrible. But...uh...think of it as a break?

2) TOK--All you need is to shout. Really. That's shows you've been thinking carefully.
           a) We had presentations based on this movie we saw called Twelve Angry Men
           b) The characters are Angry Father (obvious, eh?) and I am Leader
           c) Angry Father: WHY DID NO ONE LISTEN TO ME?
           d) I am Leader: Well, it might have to do with the fact that you're yelling.
           e) A.F.: I AM NOT YELLING. I WAS RIGHT, YOU KNOW! THEY SHOULD LISTEN TO REASON BECAUSE I WAS RIGHT.
           f) I.A.L: You could have been, but they proved you wrong.
           g) A.F. THEY SHOULD HAVE LOOKED. THEY SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT.
           h) I.A.L.: Dude, this is the reason you lost. They thought. They used the facts.
           i) A.F.: SCREW THEIR FACTS. MINE ARE RIGHT. AFTER ALL, I AM MORE INTELL--
           j) I.A.L.: Don't even go there. And yelling doesn't help.
           k) A.F.: IT MAKES THEM LISTEN.
           l) I.A.L.: And scares them. Don't forget that.
           m) A.F. AND SCARES THE HELL OUT OF THEM. THEN THEY'LL--You tricked me.
           n) I.A.L.: Killing isn't a good thing, you know.
           o) A.F. WHY YOU--*buzz* Oh, I'm done. Yay! (Bipolar XD)
           p) It is creepier when the angry father was acted out by this girl who just took his lines coolly, like:
                  --> A.F.: Yeah. So...I wasn't listened to, huh?
                 --> I.A.L: Uh...yeah...where did your anger go?
                  --> A.F.: Into the economy. My lama stocks are falling.
            q) and when Kitty tried to be the A.F....XD
            r) Kitty: I...I...I WAS RIGHT!
            s) I.A.L.: Uh...yeah...you were....Could you yell that a tad bit louder? I don't think the class heard you.
            t) Kitty: I WAS RIGHT!
            u) I.A.L.: You sure you don't want to switch? I could always do your part.
            v) Kitty: I-I WAS R-R-RIGHT!....I HAD...GOOD EVI-EVIDENCE.
            w) I.A.L.: Hey, Kitty, the teacher just said--
            x) Kitty: ......THE KID WAS...GUILTY!
            y) I.A.L.: Uh...Kitty? He said we could do it next time. You're taking too long.

3) Math Teacher et moi--Time to scar
               a) Those who have read Godchild, I am referring to cain's brother, the one who used ot have a goat. For everyone else, just take a guess at the character by the questions I'm asking.
               b) Kuma: Hello, Mr. A, I have a few questions for you.
              c) Mr. A: You aren't here to borrow something, are you?
               d) Kuma: Do I look like that kind of person?
                e) Mr. A: ....I don't have food either.
               f) Kuma: NO. Now, when you were little, did you have a pet goat?
               h) Mr. A: ...yes. *is not sure where this is leading*
                i) Kuma: Right. Was his name Snark?
               j) Friend-with-Kuma: Snark. *laughs*
               k) Mr.A: Is your friend ok? *watches friend clutch stomach*
               m) Kuma: Is that a yes or no?
                n) Mr.A: ...yes? NO! I mean no.
                o) Kuma: Did you have long hair? *looks at head* Actually, did you even have hair?
                 p) Mr.A: No, not long. But ot about the hair thing. I did have more hair.
               q) Kuma: *notices baldness* Yeah. Were you bald even when you were young? I mean, you are twenty-something so...
                r) Mr.A: *laughs* No, I did have hair.
                s) Kuma: Right. Did your father feed you Snark?
                t) Mr. A: I didn't have a--
                u) Friend-with-Kuma: Obviously, he is suffering trauma right now.
                v) Mr. A: Ha, no. He did feed-
                w) Kuma: Aha...so that must have been stressing for you. There, there, just two more questions.
                x) Mr. A: Actually, I have to go no--
                y) Friend-of-Kuma: Did you wear dresses when you were little?
                z) Mr. A: ........................................
                aa) Kuma: .............
                bb) Friend-of-Kuma: ....................
                 cc) Kuma: So, is that a yes?
                dd) Mr.A: NO. I DID NOT.
                ee) Kuma: He's in denial.
                 ff) Friend-of-Kuma: Obviously, he's in denial.
                 gg) Mr.A: Dressess were not--
                 hh) Kuma: Oh yeah, that reminds me. How do you do this math question?
                 ii) Mr. A.: ....U.U
                jj) Kuma: What?

4) At photography club, honesty is a policy best-not followed

Oh, and we have a mini Hater's Club in photography. They just hate on things. Our leader is Ned, which is a mixture of Nicole and the head. We don't hate Ned, we just make fun of her loser!tendencies and her lack of usefulness in things.

         a) About thirty kids showed up on the first day.
         b) Ned, the head, started to talk
          c) Kuma: Wow, big turnout. She's going to have to speak loudly for once.
          d) Hater's club member#1: Yeah, actually, I don't think she can.
         e) Hater's club member #2: We are such losers. How did she become head again?
         f) Kuma: ...laziness. Who wants to hunt down money?
         g) Ned: Guys? I'm trying to speak here, you know. About how we need them and such.
          h) H.C.M #1: You know, I don't think they'll stay here long.
          i) Kuma: I bet by next week more than half will be gone.
          j) H.C.M. #2: Actually, I bet that by the end of the period we'll get rid of at least five people.
         k) Kuma: You're on.
          l) Ned: You do know that we can hear you, you know?
          m) H.C.M.#2: Uh...we totally trust that you'll stay. Really. H.C.M.#1, you owe me ten bucks. Told you we'd get in trouble.
         n) Ten minutes later:
          o) Kuma: That's a lot of people.
          p) Teacher: Yeah, actually, there are too many. I'm getting rid of some.
          q) H.C.M#1: How? Force?
           r) Teacher: Nah, I'm going to ask for money. Lots of it.
          s) Kuma: ...for what?
           t) Teacher: Ok, we need....chemicals and photo paper
           u) H.C.M.#2: Don't forget lights and film.
           v) Teacher: and....uh....camera rentals.
           w) Ned: What are you guys talking about?
           x) Teacher: They need to pay us five--
           y) H.C.M.#1: TEN.
           z) Teacher: Ten dollars to stay. For equpiment such as chemicals and camera rentals.
          aa) Ned:  We own the cameras.
           bb) Teacher: ....>.>
           cc) Ned: You made this up right now, didn't you?
           dd) Teacher: Wow, isn't that nice, they are breaking into cliques already. Go, take control, ned!
           ee) Kuma: *snort* If they listen to you.

5) English--Skipping means hiding from the teacher, not running away from her:
          a) Teacher: Hmm...where's Sleepy?
          b) Random student: Sick?
          c) Teacher: *get's an angry glint in her eyes* I think I know.
           d) Random Student: ...did you stalk him or something?
          e) Teacher: ....
          f) R.S.: ....
           g) Teacher: I wish I could still give detentions. No, I'm not following him around.
           h) R.S.: Right.
           i) Teacher: I just know...I KNOW HE'S SKIPPING CLASS.
           j) R.S.: What makes you think that?
          k) Teacher: He was skipping yesterday. He totally ran away from me when I saw him during third period yesterday! I SAW IT.
          l) R.S.: Oh, look, he's coming in now. Guess he's not skipping.
          m) Teacher: Damn. I mean, it's a good thing Sleepy came. ~~SKIPPER.~~
           n) Sleepy: I slept in.
           o) Teacher: Oh? I believe you. And will make you realize skipping is bad.
           p) Sleepy: *during presentation* And thank y--
           q) R.S.: AND FURTHERMORE, WE ALSO HAVE THESE EXAMPLES OF ALLUSIONS.
            r) Teacher: Must. Protect. Sleepy. WHY DID YOU INTERRUPT HIM?

(My teacher, a bi-polar person when it comes to Sleepy. One moment ticked off, the next protective.)

6) Random Conversations:
            Lucky: Hmm...what a list of people to choose from.
            Kuma: Yeah, so many philosphers. I think I'll do Lao Zi.
            Lucky: Oh, I'll do...Confucious!
            Kuma: He's taken already.
            Lucky: What? Not fair! Fine, I'll do...this dude.
             Kuma: *peers at paper* Buddha?
            Lucky: Yep. Buddha. He's easy.
            Kuma: Very. I think you'll do good.
            Lucky: ....
             Kuma: .......
             Lucky: Who's Buddha?

~~Evil math conversation.~~

              Witch: Kuma, stop carrying all of your books. All that crap...
             Kuma: WHAT? THIS IS NOT JUNK!  THESE ARE--
              Witch: Kuma, you are nothing.
              Kuma: What?
             Witch: In Calculas (~~which should die a thousand deaths~~), we learned that crap over more crap is the same as one over more.
              Kuma: Right. Uh, where is this going?
                Witch: One over more's recipriocal is negative more. Which doesn't exist. therefore, Kuma doesn't exist in the 1/3world.
                Kuma: O.o
                 Witch: *looks proud*
                Kuma: But...But...I DO EXIST! IN THIS WORLD! AND I-I-
                Witch: You're not normal either.
                 Kuma: Eh?
               Witch: If your recipirocal doesn't exist, neither does the 'normal'. Therefore, Kuma isn't normal.
                    Kuma: NORMAL IS OVER-RATED.
                Witch: *pets* There, there. Here's some chocolate.
                Kuma: *chews happily*
                 Witch: You weren't normal in the first place.

Side news: I've finally designed a name tag, chair tag, and am now working on the brochure for Habitat for Humanity, a charity orginization. I'll post it later this week with my own pictures (yes, I finally took my picture. Be prepared for horro) and pictures of the anime mural we worked on last year.

AND TOMORROW MY FRIENDS AND I ARE SUMMONING SPIRITS AND READING FORTUNES.
I can already see where this will go. XD

Meh.

Fri, 26 Sep 2008 03:41:42 GMT

I just remembered today why I hated my asthma attacks. They leave me chest sore and tight for hours....
D:

It's even worse when I hyperventilate and have an attack at the same time.

It's rather ridiculous the reason it started today. During lunch time, I just started to laugh...and laugh...and laugh...

I just couldn't stop laughing. I tried but every little glance, touch, or comment made me burst into laughter and tears. This has happened before, but as I didnt' have it for a while, I forgot what happens next.

Anyways, I just kept laughing, into math class as well. The teacher looked at me, wondering what was wrong with me, when the laughter changed from giggles to harsh breathing. It was all I could to do breathe. My fingers started to tingle and turn red, as was my ears (judging by how I felt). My arms began to turn numb and three of my fingers were practically paralyzed. If a teacher who didn't know how to deal with this hadn't come in, I might have fainted.

I'm pretty sure I was getting close to that state as I just couldn't stop trying to get air in and my body was turning number and shaking and I was feeling cold. My head was pounding and I just couldn't think straight.

Luckily, we stopped it before it reached the point of fainting. I ended up missing most of math because of this too...D: (and we started a new unit.)

Now, I need to take my puffer again. God, does my chest hurt.
