You guys!!! I'm so proud of you all!!! Congratulations! Please don't feel so bad, we'll miss you all too. even though you say high school was the best times of your life, I sincerely hope that your best days are yet to come. Live in hope, joy, and advei nture. Don't you dare come back without a story! Again...I'm very truly happy for you all. I love you guys so much!

ahem..

I GOT A LAPTOP!!! I'm typing on it right now...and it's so cool!!! My very own laptop...call me spoiled or what?!! I don't know...I was just really in need of a computer because mine had an 1.28 MB memmory (aka, takes 30 minutes to shut down). So I thought my parents would probably just buy me a random computer. I only mentioned that I really liked some of the laptops because they came with remote controls and were really cool looking. Lo and behold my amazing dad comes home with a laptop! He said it was his father's day present to me. - . - I was really giddy and stuff...but I also think it's my parents way of saying, "This is your graduation present; don't expect us to buy you a new one in two years." Oh well...
I feel really bad though...at the same time, what kind of 15 year-old has an laptop?! Well..I guess I'll be 16 in a month. *sigh...well, I know I'm really blessed to have great parents like them...

Well...lol...it's a bit late now, and I should get to bed.
/good luck on provincials, and finishing school, you guys! Go go go!!!

Okay...something has gone horribly wrong. a week ago, I'm laughing at Rachel and Jane for reading fiction about vampires.

Today...I can't stop reading this book. Has anyone read Twilight? It's not as...weird as it sounds. I thought it was weird that I'm like...reading a book about blood-drinking creatures etc, but now I can't even put this book down. Actually, to be completely evil (and a good friend), I encourage you to read this book. It's more like a romance story and it's pretty amazing. Basically, it's about this girl who moved in with her Dad in a small town. She expects a really boring time in this town, but obviously, that didn't happen. The story has a lot of...morals in it about choices etc, and I don't think they even emphasis on the vampire idea as much; it's kinda like a added on mystery. Somehow, it's so cool!

Speaking of books, I randomly took a book the other day out of my church's library. It's by my favorite author, Francine Rivers. Anyways, I think it's called 'Redeeming Love.' It's a story about a girl named Angel and she was sold into prostitution as a little girl (she's so adorable). She's like...really pretty and stuff, but she has grown to hate people that use her and does not trust anyone. So then this guy appears later on in the story and he is determined to show her what love really is.
I love this author's books because it's SO REAL and you NEVER EVER can really expect what happens. There's always a "battle" before the end, but the result is beautiful. The stories she writes twists you up into plots where there seems to be no way out, and then there always is a way. Beautiful, beautiful book.

So anyways; two really different, but awesome books. It's the end of the year though...but you can check them out during the summer.
Hope you all had a great Easter!

AHHH..SO MANY THINGS TO PACK.
...
...

...
I havn't started yet

Mind you, me and Yang are bringing the nerdiest stuff, like homework...books..*sigh.

do we HAVE to? Inner voice: yes we do. We'll not get anything done...but you know, it puts our parents at ease. Safety = homework...very true.

Apart from that, I'm starting to sink into the excitement. I won't go too crazy though...last year's bus ride to Edmonton deleted every bit of excitement in me. The plane ride this year will too. But I'll do whatever I can...Muahaha.

So...you all must be wondering about the title of this post.
Deborah and I have found a very interesting issue here. All my life, I've thought those Pecan tarts are pronounced 'Peecan,' until Deborah came to ask me about it today. So now...we both don't know whether if it's 'Peecan,' or 'Peecon.' Help!

*Sigh...Disney trip. 11 days...

Actually...the excitement of the trip hasn't caught up to me yet. I don't know...it happens every year. I'm not that excited about it though I play along with everyone else. Then...a couple days before the trip...BOOM!!! I guess a part of me just can't believe we're actually going to DISNEY? Yea...

Another thing...I don't know if ANY of you get this. But out of all the trips in these years, it's the band trips that I look most forward to. So I can never sleep well the night before the trip. I'm not usually a 'dream' person, but EVERY time before the trip, I'd get a HUGE nightmare about me not waking up in time and getting there JUST as the bus/plane etc leaves. So even though I know I can pretty much wake up early with just one alarm clock, last year (to Edmonton) I was accompanied by 3 alarm clocks and a radio alarm thingy the night before I went. Worst fear of the year......:(

Lol...I laugh at myself every time I find myself sitting nice and cosy on the bus going to wherever we're heading for.

Umm...passports seem to be a really big worry now for most of my friends. Don't loose heart guys, hang in there! It's so bad that USA/Canada needs so much security against each other now...and my opinion is that it might still get worse. I just pray that despite all the mistrust and weirdness going on, we'd still be the happiest people in the happiest place. k?:). We should like...buy a cake once you all get your passports to celebrate all that hardwork...seriously. Oh no...it's Marisa's birthday too!...now we REALLY SHOULD.

Last thing: YANG!!!! Deborah spend ALL that hard work making an account for you on livejournal, so ya better start using it!!! I'm half joking about all those exclamation marks...but you get the point:P. Common people , we must turn Yang over to the dark side!!! Muahahahaha....
SHE.MUST.USE.LIVEJOURNAL

Okay...a BIT scary there...
USE LIVEJOURNAL!!!

MY DAD COMES TOMORROW
FROM...AFAR
BRINGING TWO TRUNKFULL OF GOODS

...



...



But they're not for me :(.

WHY ARE THEY NOT FOR ME?!!!
AT WHAT POINT DID HE FORGET ABOUT ME?

We'll leave that to the next episode, hopefully finding out SOME of those stuff are for me. If not, I can eat the trunk itself and will be satisfied.

Anyways...just sitting here really scary-looking and hyper. Well..not really. I'm trying to draw this Digimon Reading Log booklet for my buddy reader, who happens to be Jenny Shin's little brother. AWwwwwwwww....they're family's so cute. SO...so far it's OK, but the eye kinda looks weird. Guilmon is SO CUTE.

...

...

...

Don't ask about the name...I.just.know

So I have about an hour before I go to Yang's house and play Mario. Productive use of time, eh? But right now, I'm also sitting here doing math. Speaking of math...Mr.Sall is kind of bugging me these days. I know that "I have nothing in for math so far this year EXCEPT lg 0." But... I'm taking it unit by unit. So far I could choose to go into an obsession with math, finish it in ONE week, take the test AND BE DONE WITH IT!!! Why don't I do that? Well..you will never see me again if I did. He's becoming like 'Connolly: The more serious version.' He hunts me down in the SCIENCE ROOM AND THE LIBRARY. What math teacher in the whole entire earth goes there? And he asked me how am I doing. As a result, YANG jabs me hard in the back everyday and go, "FINISH YOUR MATH!!!"

Everyone should have a beautiful friend like that.
YANG CALLED ME A COW!!!
Yang: Why do cows wear bells?
Lulu: ?
Yang: Because their horns don't work.
Lulu: haha

Later....

Yang: Lulu, why do you play the bells? ( I Like to do percussion in the Maple Ridge Concert Band for fun)
Lulu: Huh?
Yang: I think it's because your horn doesn't work.

har har har. Actually, I found it funny.

Okay, I'm finding everything funny now. If I keep on writing, in about 2 minutes, I'll be measuring table legs with my compass and getting irritated as to why my name isn't "Chair." Okay..the compass thing is already happening, which means I better end this soon. Talk to you guys at school!

Lulu, you're weird.

Sorry it took me so long to post, guys. I was busy trying to get used to Canada again *wink.*

Well...here's a little bit about the trip.

We got to the Shanghai international airport and then directly flew to Chengdu (sorry about the names, can't help them). Chengdu is the capital of the Sichuan province in China, best know for a) REALLY spicy foods and b) Pandas!!! Yep, it's the ONLY place in the whole Universe that is Panda-livable, Panda-eatable (Er...no, I don't think so), and bamboo growable; Pandas anywhere else are from Sichuan anyways and need to be kept at an exact temperature in a Zoo. We are expected to live at my Grandpa's cousin's apartment, with an exception of two days in the countryside. Most of our trip was already planned for us, so we didn't even get any free time. :( We all like Chinese food, right? Well, by the beginning of the second week, I was SO fed up with Chinese food that I don't even want to eat anymore. It's usually a combo of 8-10 plates if you are eating with a table of 8-14. And the plates just keep on comin' and comin' and comin'. But some of the highlights of historic sights and places I went to were the E-Mei mountain, where I got to take pictures with MONKEYS! And feed them etc. SOOO cute and cudly. Fattest monkeys I've ever seen though...kinda scary really. Then we took a trip to visit the world's largest Buddha statue with a height of 71 meters. It was said that when China was at war some years ago, the bodies were flowing down the River the Buddha faced. So when farmers walked by the next morning, they discovered that the Buddha's eyes were shut close because of the un-holy scene it saw before its eyes. The eyes were not opened until very recently when the government sent people to reconstrust it. Mystical and believable? Well...it was seen by the public, so it's not the question of whether is DID happen or not. Though the un-holy scene story was only a theory made by poeple. I question the fact as to why does the Buddha need humans to re-open its eyes if he can close it himself? The river it faced today is a beautiful clear-blue river with trees on the other side and everything. So that remains a mystery to me and...well, everyone else. Though, if you guys agree with me, I don't think this really steps into the realm of Religion as much as it is said to be; it's like the Bermuda triangle, something that CAN BE explained, just never in our own theory. Good stuff to see though. I met this guy there named Ray: big, hairy, and looks like a Santa Claus that has been fired. Who he REALLY is will surprise you just as much as it surprised me. He's a geologist and scientist at Youngstown State University in Ohio, here in China to do a research with a group of students. He sent me this picture of us with the Big Buddha upon my request. He sent me a e-mail the other day. And oh my Gosh, get a load of THIS:

Below is a whimsical biographical sketch about me that does have a lot of truth in it, but some of the information is there for comedy purposes. In short my degrees are all in Geology (BA, MSc and PhD). I used to specialize in metamorphic rocks. I then worked for NASA developing synthetic soils to grow plants during long-duration space missions. Lately all my time is dedicated to improving science education. I am hoping to bring teachers to China next summer and to start school partnerships between schools in my city and China.

Please keep in touch,
Ray

Biographical Sketch

Raymond E. Beiersdorfer, a.k.a. Dr. Ray a.k.a. Slick, is a Professor of Geological and Environmental Sciences at Youngstown State University in Ohio, but as a participant in the Federal Witness Protection Program, he still thinks he's Ian Hunter of Mott the Hoople. He has received the YSU Distinguished Professorship Awards in Scholarship (1997, 2003) and Teaching (1998). He also won the YSU University Scholars Provost Award for Teaching in 1997 and the National Science Teachers Association Ohaus Award for College Science Teaching in 1995. In addition to his Ph.D., which he did not earn from Oxford, Harvard, Yale, or Stanford, he has a license to practice jocularity from the Chuckle Institute for the Humor Impaired. He has served 14 years at Youngstown State University where he has mentored dozens of students, all of whom unfortunately are now under indictment. Professor Beiersdorfer has admittedly contributed to the destruction of scores of trees and shrubbery by publishing more than a dozen journal articles or chapters in the geological and science education literature. The quality of these publications reflects his life-long commitment to mediocrity and his professional motto: "Go for the Bronze!" He has been a Convenor, Field Trip Leader and Invited Speaker for the International Geological Correlation Program Project 294: Very-low grade metamorphism. He has worked for NASA investigating the geochemistry of synthetic soils for use in long duration space missions and Lunar and Martian Outposts. Despite the fact that he is a terrible singer, his most recent DVD “Geology Rocks!” has received enthusiastic praise at conferences and living rooms nationwide. His performance art work generates enormous local media coverage. In 2005, he made his theatrical debut in The Exonerated, starring as Gary Gauger, a middle-aged hippie wrongfully convicted of killing his parents. His name was mentioned on the International Space Station. His worldview is free of supernatural and mystical elements, in other words, he is a bright.He is currently the principal investigator for the 1.5 Million Dollar OPFERST project to provide high quality professional development to N.E. Ohio Science Teachers. Coincidentally Opferst also means sacrificial altar in German.Dr. Beiersdorfer hoped to spend his first sabbatical attending Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus's Clown College. Instead he was the Research and Education Fellow at the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Studies (CIRES) at the University of Colorado at Boulder. His appointment to this distinguished fellowship really shocked his parents who expected him to have his own talk show by now.

THIS guy has the time to write me e-mails. - . -
I don't even have time to reply... - . -

Anywhos, moving on.

We went to Nang Tong that weekend where all my Dad's side of the family lived. It was the first time my grandparents on both sides met. FIRST. I was a bit surprised there. So we had the biggest family reunion, pretty much, and we left the next day. Our next stop was just to visit my Dad's nursery in Chang Zhou. We only stayed for one day in a hotel and me and my friend Lucy got to share rooms. We took a taxi by ourselves to the mall. I was really proud of her beause ME, I could NEVER do that. I'd worry about a million things like how scary the Taxi driver looks etc. Oh yea...and we dragged my dad out at 10:00pm to sing Kareoke; sometimes Lucy can be a BIT...over-excited.

Our last stop was at Nang Jing, Which is where I basically lived before I came to Canada. I got sick here for about two days and ate NOTHING except a few bites of noodles. I couldn't get up from bed cuz I just don't know what's gonna happen if I do. Luckily, It got better really quickly and I was able to finally have some time of my own and go shopping and read etc. TV shows are good here, though they have "Cats and Dogs" on here EVERY single day.

So we staying in Nang Jing for a week and then went back to Shanghai to come back here. So here I am after three long weeks.
I really missed Canada, you guys. It's so good to be back. I think I missed Yang a little bit more than Dudu. Though Yang was the one who nearly had a seisure when she saw me for the first time at church. I guess I've...changed a bit, though not enough for her to be down on the ground trying to laugh and cry and talk and breath at the same time.

Anywhos...that's quite a bit of writing. You guys need to teach me how to use this livejournal thing. I don't know how to put parts of a post into categories, and I don't know how to upload pictures to put on either. Many other things I don't know...so take pity on me and teach me. Many thanks!

This is my last post before I leave for China. And packing is such a mess right now. We get up at 3:30am to go and we havn't even packed. *sigh...well. I don't know...I'm pulled two ways. I'll really miss Canada and you guys. You know...you can't really find that Christmas feeling in Asia. I'll be on msn at...umm....interesting times, so I won't be completely cut off for two weeks. Tell everyone you think I know that I wish them a merry christmas...and take good care of Yang for me (She has special needs). Like...ahh....she tends to kick me too hard. Well..that's about all I can muster up in this hour. I wish you such a wonderful Christmas. And...as you know, you guys are all on my naughty list. So I'll be bringing back stuff if I see something I know you'll like. Which is definately not...manga...right?:P Don't worry, they've got English stuff over there. Have fun caroling on Friday!!!

All the love,
Lulu

Pondering whether I should write anything, but here I am. Well..not much has gone on this weekend. I held a party for the kids at Sunday school and it was quite a blast...you never forget a child's laughter at Christmas. We played a twisted version of hot potatoes, and this one boy had two or three questions about the prizes EVERY time we stopped. I kept on having to reminding myself to think, "How cute!" OR else I'd completely loose it. Then I went to Yang's house and a couple things happened there. We were eating on the table and she suddenly said, "There is tofu in most of us." I kinda dropped my chopsticks and glared down at those bits of tofus in my plate before she pointed out "mos t of u s" Then after like...5 minutes, she goes, "I have to go pee!" And hops over to the fridge and opens it to look inside. <.< Yea..we found out in was funny after awhile. Then we did hard core games of trying to trip each other over. Well...she won...of course. Oh yea peoples...if you want to by Yang a present for Christmas...buy her cherry flavored candy canes, she likes them:D. Wait...duhh...

Anyhoos...I'm so excited for the concert this Tuesday. Well..the choir hasn't exactly pulled everything together yet, but we'll manage. The Band is SO ready!!! Er...except..us French Horns. Well...MAYBE the flutes can also laugh at the clarinets in the beginning of "Old Brenton Carol." I've been to the MRSS concert..war seems to be brewing against THSS all over the place. Their Senior band's really pulling it together. The grade 8s 7s 6s this year all look like they're parents MADE them join band or something. Hardly any brass and NO F HORN. Like...a billion flute players etc.

May seem absolutely silly, but NEVER EVER freeze a can of Sprite past 12 hours. Infact, make that 9 hours with CHECKING on the Sprite ever hour. PLEASE, you are doing this to save the world. For those who feel their curiosity creeping up, I'll tell you that THE SPRITE will NOT come out of your fridge as THE SPRITE. It would be an object you have NEVER seen before. And if you are really stupid, like me, you'll put that "Sprite" under a lamp and try to thaw it out. And if you are REALLY stupid, you will leave that light bulb ON, TOUCHING the "Sprite" and go upstairs to watch TV. Then, you will come down and find the light bulb looking like it wants to explode. If your sense and IQ is about a 2.7, you will see all of these signs and simply laugh like an idiot :(. If you are smart, like me, you would COMPLETELY freak out when the light bulb went "BOOM!" Then you will find that your intelligence seems to have improved quite a bit. Lastly, if you are REALLY REALLY smart, you would decide to OPEN that can of Sprite, hereupon finding yourself a momment later covered in Sprite Pewk. Really, not that bad. You see, I figured that normal people would assume that this just ISN'T their day and throw their source of bad luck right HERE And NOW, right? Right. So somehow, why did the NORMAL me decide to wrap it in tissue paper and sit it on my table and DRINK from it? No idea... But it was indeed a very mischevious can of Sprite and decided to let all it's goodness be let out in "whale" style.

Let's put it this way, who is the Sprite between a person covered in almost exactly 355ml of sprite OR a smirking empty Sprite can that eventually got stepped on and FINALLY thrown into the trash? *sigh...the world's 8th wonder...


Oh, by the way, this is from a long time ago; but never EVER microwave an hard-boiled egg. You oviously don't want to know what happens.

Yang: u r being impossible

Lulu: that's impossible!

Yang: heh, with u, anything's possible

Lulu: I'm NEVER impossible, only YOU think it's impossible, you're the one who thinks everything is possibly impossibly possible and want everyone to be impossible, but YOU are not a possible person which means you are a possibly impossible human being!

Yang: .......................................................................................

Yang: sry not into logic

Lulu: Yea, but only YOU think it's unlogical, you're the one who thinks everything is logically unlogicaly logical and want everyone to be logical, but YOU are not a logical person which means you are a logically unlogical human being!

Yang: ...

Lulu: that's right! logically, it's unlogical.

Yang: uh-huh, and i am just mentally un-functional today

Lulu: and everybody knows I'm the only one that can create such an logically unlogical thing.

Yang: yea, with ur impossibly possible brain

Lulu: Aww...don't think that way:(. See...only you think you're mentally un-functional today, you're the one who thinks everything is mentally functionally unfunctionally functional and want everyone to be mentally unfunctional, but YOU are not an mentally un-functional person which means you are a mentally un-functionally functioning human being:).

Lulu: Yea, and have fun explaining that to your mother in Chinese

Yang:........

Okay, for background information, Connolly has this so-called "special" grade 10 Socials class. The point of this class is that he gets to treat us like experiment rats and change the whole entire course to Connolly style (aka, no homework/lots of useless, but funny, talking/ big projects that range from 5-10 LGs).

The reward? Well, he asked the government for a couple thousand dollars to take us all on free fieldtrips, one of them being SFU. So basically he designed this huge scavenger hunt that takes us around the whole school and set us loose "like animals." I was in a team with Jane, Rachel, and Ashley. It was SO COLD, and we were completely lost. We found ourselves on some roof with a big tube puffing black smoke trying to look for this turquoise pyramid. Numerous times it felt like the Da Vince Code (especially because I just finished reading it). And all these painting that were all these people we're suppose to identify. And then we went into this museum with all these really cool and scary indian things, especially this one bear sculpture that freaked me out because it had no eyes :S. We tried cheating by asking the people questions. There's this one guy we asked that was like, "HUH?!" to almost everything we said. And we're like, "Don't you go to this school?" And he got all pissed off and like, "duhh!!!!" And so we repeated our question to him and he completely didn't know what we were talking about. We're trying to find the name of one of the THREE coffee shops in the school for goodness sakes:P. So we ditched him and went to this map and this other girl offered to help. Then we went into this lecture hall and were supposed to estimate the number of chairs in there. Daryle used the "Sn" formula on the number of chairs in rows and columns and got an EXACT number. and we're all like, "HUUUUH???" And this whole time Connolly stalked us and kept on talking in the cell phone that was supposed to be Thomas Haney's. And he randomly slaped Jane really hard on the arm. After that, everyone pulled back when he walked around:P. And this Doctor asked each of us what we are interested in. Alison said she likes "Childhood Studies" and Connoly asked her if that's why she hangs around Jack Park. So mean..:P.

Anywho's...it was an exciting day and I got to miss school. Jane and Rachel and me kept on saying we missed you guys back home. Hey, maybe with a bit of sarcasm, but it was from the heart. *sob*

Omg omg omg...My DAD IS IN CHINA!!! And...he's stuck in a hotel in Shan Hai....- . -. Poor him, his parents are there, his brothers and sisters, but NOOOOO; couldn't get connected, lost his cell phone ya see. Go him. So my mom went absolutely over to the dark side when we didn't get a phone call from him in three days, and was in a bad mood all weekend. Then my dad phoned yesterday to report the hobo condition he's in right now and she became an angel in no time. :D. Anywhos he e-mailed me without me reminding him first time in history!!! *heart* I don't even mind if 99% of it was about how I MUST do awesome in school in my "critical years" and how he needs a load of files sent over for his business. I'm just glad he thought to e-mail :D!!!

I'm looking at the requirements for SATS off of Sue's book and I came upon this word that has been in her msn for the longest time:

Harbinger: A sign of something yet to come.

This is the result for wikipedia:
Throughout history and literature, harbingers and omens figure prominently, and are responsible for major decisions which have altered the course of both.
The actual mechanism of harbingers appears to be a quirk of human psychology. There are two general categories of symbolic prescience, both of which are subject to an individual's awareness of laws of Probability. Whether one is cognizant of the direction events in their life are headed, the subconscious keeps account of what is likely to happen in one's future. Depending on how aware a person is of these subtle instincts, their anticipation of imminent events will vary.

An aware person will be able to explicitly imagine specific events, while someone who is less aware, or in denial, will not sense, or will ignore, the anticipatory signals their subconscious sends to prepare them in how they will respond to unfolding events.

Someone who is less than fully aware, but more than blindly ignorant, may encounter some sort of symbolic image which embodies the course of events their subconscious is trying to make them anticipate. Such an encounter may enhance the person's understanding, or in some other way make it easier for them to understand and accept the probability of unfolding events in their life. Subjectively, the person will have felt they had no previous intuition of events unfolding as the "sign" indicated. Should events then unfold accordingly, the person may be predisposed to believe in omens.

This first example relies on the harbinger encapsulating probable future events in the mind of someone who is not fully aware of what will probably happen. It does not necessarily resign the person to believing the future must happen accordingly, and important decisions are not based upon nascent foreknowledge. Also, it is likely that the person has experienced several unfulfilled harbingers, in which chance does not favour the occurrence of the "foretold" events. The mind may not record when signs fail to tell the future, leaving an artificial form of faith caused by selective memory of only those signs which could be seen to foretell events.

The second example of a harbinger occurs when an individual's faith in signs causes them to believe that a future event has been foretold. Here, the future is considered unchangeable, and person makes important decisions based upon what they believe the harbinger has revealed it to be. In this case, the harbinger becomes a catalyst for the formation of a self-fulfilling prophecy. The laws of probability do not change in this instance, except that the individual alters the circumstances which make the occurrence of the foretold events more likely. Should the anticipated events occur, this is taken as proof of the validity of the sign.

Religious interpretation
In the Biblical sense, Prophecy, when describing the foretelling of an event, is to be subjected to scrutiny of the Scriptures, and may not be considered to be prophecy until the foretold events occur. Biblical prophecy is also distinct from harbingers, in the sense that the foretelling comes by the spoken word (often attributed directly to God), and not in the manifestation of signs.


[edit] Notable believers
Famous people who believed in harbingers:

Abraham Lincoln
Shirley MacLaine
Hilary Swank
the Magi



I find this a bit foreboding...especially because it happens in our everyday lives and we don't know. I thought it was so cool though, especially if anyone's going into psychology.

OMG OMG OMG...Kay. Me and Yang wants to volunteer for that santa photo thing at Valley Fair Mall and be ELVES!!! ELVES!!! I'm so excited. Guy wouldn't phone me back though...hmpf. You guys be sure to come visit if I got the role?

Arts & Science Engineering certificate......*shiver*
scary combination right there.

Asian culinary arts certificate.....ooooooooooooohhh.

Stupid Emily Carr....has all my favorite courses other then music, UBC the exact opposite.

What is the Associate of Arts Degree? Is that like...drawing..or everything else included, like music?

Ooooohh...Criminology sounds like fun.wait.eww..law.

Music music music music music......MUSIC.

*sigh...music.

Is there a possibility to sneak into two seperate universities? That would be awesome...if any two of these university can slam together, that would be even better. Too many things to taaaaakkkkeee. And I'm only in planning 10....hmm....screw this. I wanna get work done, I have forever to think about this anyways. So how's everyone's report card?

Woo...long weekend. Yay. Homework.

Alright...I WANT *in my only-child, stubborn, senseless, stupid, selfish tone (Which NONE of you can use because you all have SIBLINGS Muahahaha*:

-There to be MORE then 24hours a day so I can get Science and Socials and French DONE.
-The day to be warmer (sheesh, I thought global warming should help).
-My HEAD to stop hurting
-Nicole to be back from Guatamaula (too lazy to check spelling)
-Beethoven to come down from heaven and TELL ME HOW THE HECK HE COMPOSED THIS SONG!!!
-Yang to TALK TO ME AND TELL ME WHEN THE REMEMBERANCE DAY CEREMONY STARTS tomorrow before I go over there and put picolo music on surround sound while she's in bed!
-My passport picture to look at least a LITTLE bit more attracting then some prisoner from some Tahiti tribe (seriously...the airport officers will arrest me on the spot).
-Ms.Birce to NOT gooooooooooooooo.
-Me to stop sucking because of stage fright

Alright...I think I'm done:P.

Anyhoos...the only thing that is cheering me up right now is this awesome piece that my piano teacher just gave me by Beethoven. IT's WICKEDLY fast and I don't know if I can do it, but I absolutely FELL IN LOVE with it. I MADE her play the whole piece for me and it's like a ten minute song *guilty face.* MAN...I know Beethoven was kinda crazy in his Social life, but whoever he fell in love with must've been a complete idiot too. I mean, he composed SONGS for her. I wish poeple will write songs for me :(.

Oh...and this song that Yang sent me from Fullmetal Alchemist called "Brother" ~~~~*starry eyes* I can die in music...

Well..awesome ceremony today (seems like I'm the only one that screw up). DEBBIE...AWESOME SCREAM. I had comment from all of my friends about that scream all day. So cool! I wished the ceremony was longer though..it was quite pushed together for time, and short. In the past years we'd have soldiers that come and talk awhile, I thought that was neat. The speakers were good and I LOVED that music video. Taz...nevermind. 'Remember' was okay...though Mrs.Samouilhan told me she was crying. Anyhoos, I gotta go do bit of room-cleaning, then off to bed! See ya guys. Love ya lots. Have a...decent...LOOOONNNGGGG weekend!!!

Hehe..it's Halloween. It's been a pretty interesting week so far...Band and Choir doing Christmas songs on Halloween :P. I found it rather...irritating today in choir; "Hark the harald *Kevin dressed up as a women* angels sing, *There's a witch across the room* glory to the - *Jo's halloween necklace is flashing.*" - . - sigh.... Overall, it was pretty fun. Debbie...you were so cute! Hey, that Japanese-ish style uniform costume isn't a costume at all when I was in kindergarten for me. Lol...yea, I was in a private elementary school in China and so I had to wear the uniform (with MINI skirts and all) for about...a month. Then (This is SERIOUS), I purposedly went into the boys bathroom (don't ask why) and my teacher got into this huge fight with my parents and we left:P. She was a jerk anyways...always blamed me for everything. I was a year yonger then everybody else too (4 years old). Another thing, the pac-man trio today was SO CUTE!!! Their skit in the contest was halarious, if any of you went. Anyways, I'm not going out tonight, but if any of you are: Have fun and BE SAFE!!!

Oh yea...and DON'T come to school with a lot of candy and immatureness, Kapish?

So..I've been going online and reading quotes as a passion lately...(I know...TWO weeks before cut-off). Anyhoos...here are some awesome ones I've found:



"Love is a snowmobile racing across the tundra and then suddenly it flips over, pinning you underneath. At night, the ice weasels come."
~Matt Groening

........this one scares me to death...clearly this guy hasn't had a good life. This quote came from a book called, "Life in Hell"............my point prooven.



"Never say that marriage has more of joy than pain."
~Euripides, Alcestis, 438 B.C.


Hmm...kinda the opposite of everything we've ever though of eh?



"There is much pleasure to be gained from useless knowledge."
~Bertrand Russell

*cough...video games...*cough...

"Suicide hotline...please hold"
"If you're not living life on the edge, you're taking up too much space"
"The internet's a great way to get on the net"

"If you give a person a fish, they'll fish for a day. But if you train a person to fish, they'll fish for a lifetime."

Haha...as opposed to that proverb,"Give a man a fish and he'll not go hungry for a day, teach a man to fish and he will not go hungry for life." Never thought about the sad fate of this man just to satisfy his hunger...
~ Dan Quayle, former U.S. Vice President

"It's time for the human race to enter the solar system!"
- Dan Quayle, former U.S. Vice President on the concept of a manned mission to Mars

"Chemistry is a class you take in high school or college, where you figure out two plus two is 10, or something."
- Dennis Rodman, NBA Basketball player, on Chicago Bull's team

"The streets are safe in Philadelphia. It's only the people who make them unsafe."
- Frank Rizzo, ex-police chief and mayor of Philadelphia.

"If it weren't for electricity we'd all be watching television by candlelight."
- George Gobel

"I have a God-given talent. I got it from my dad."
- Julian Wakefield, Missouri basketball player

Since no one has given me one of those famous "evil nudges" on livejournal, I've decided I'll nudge myself. Nothing much going on right now, wondering if I should take my dog out for her walk or just let her explode. Ah well....too lazy. I'm too lazy to make breakfast, my parents deserted me and I hope they come back before the car insurance bills come and I find I have to pay for it or something. So...I went to a party last night and Kevin/Eireann/Meraka were there. Interesting combination...interesting discussed topics too. So I tried phoning Sean in the middle just to get away for awhile (and well, because I miss him:D). I forgot, however, that Kevin's cell phone can save phone numbers (duhhhh), so my deepest/most sincere apologies if he comes to bother you, Sean. Kay..some of the topics we discussed were like...:O:O:O:O. If I had thought someone like Sean could lead me over to the dark side, I was DEAD WRONG. THESE THREE....ohhhhhh Gosh.......could be as open as POSSIBLE about...STUFF. Especially because Kevin's...still a guy...at least physically, MAN...okay...I'll stop letting the after-effects get to me. Overall though..it was okay. now..TODAY...(I think Deborah is the only one who will know the significance of this sentence). Robbie(Sicong) wants me to go watch a movie with him and Yanga. ROBBIE, Deborah, ROBBIE. ARGGG....so...before the moon rises, PLEASE PLEASE help me think of excuses. I love him as a friend, but to SIT beside the theatre with him and Yanga...and hearing the laugh is going to knock all that Guy-loving side out of me. This is S.O.S....I'll never be the same AGAIN!

Okay...that was a bit of an exageration. A bit.


Oh well...let's forget the pain and sorrow for awhile.
Happy October 14th!!!! :D:D:D (Should we explain to them about this, Sean, or shall we let it stay with us to the grave?)
