this spring break has kind of reminded me of the days i used to spend skipping class in high school. i have this nagging feeling that i'm not supposed to be here... all the kids are out of the house. it's just me and joey and a computer screen for messaging my more duty-driven friends while they're in class. Anyway... minus the time spent chillin' w/ troy, tony, and james.. it's been overwhelmingly dull.

and as much as i love home-cooked meals, showers minus the flip flops, and cats everywhere you look, I'm REALLY looking forward to getting back to school. I've gotten really addicted to the freedom of being able to sleep and eat whenever i want, to go wherever i want with whomever i want. as soon as i get back to school, i'm taking a long, guiltless nap. and then i'm going to call scott.

anyway.. on to more important matters: the pathetic lack of updates on this site.

not that i haven't had anything to say... I've been weaning myself from daily updates in an effort to keep my online life from turning into my primary way of life. Needless to say, this site is basically dead. and i'm not sad about it either. I still have facebook anyway.. which doesn't require me to write in html. facebook wins.

Shaun White is my hero. Plus he reminds me of Timmy.

i got tagged

2006-01-21T22:00:00.000-08:00

My 5 weird habits:

1. I jump in movies. Not like just in scary parts of zombie flicks.... if someone stands up too quickly i flip out. its a reflex... sue me.

2. ungodly doses of green tea

3. i sing. ALL THE TIME. for a long time i sang un-restrained in my dorm room. then i realized people could hear me through the walls...

4. lack of volume control when in an argument with Gregory Meyer.

5. i speak to my family in a mix of spanish, english, and poorly pronounced japanese

2006-01-05T16:26:00.000-08:00

Happy New Years!!
and happy birthday to my little brother who's now 16 years old!! hurry up and get your license, kid so you can drive me around!! ^_^

2005-12-28T14:55:00.001-08:00

long time no update.

happy christmas/new years to everybody!! Good haul this year... new sketchbook, pjs, Kingdom Hearts, and Robbie got me lots of microwavable soup for college. heh i love my practical family.

Also.. i found this group of japanese magic tricks online... The magician's name is Cyril, and he's half-french, half-japanese. freaky. i understand most of what he's saying. i think i'll be fluent in japanese if i keep watching Bleach every week. heh.. maybe not fluent... anyway... he has some pretty cool illusions. you dont need to know japanese to fully appreciate them tho. go have fun! (complements of Lut)

Burger Illusion
Shadow Illusion
Old Man Illusion
Card Illusion
Bottle Illusion
Glass Illusion

hello again

2005-12-08T14:52:00.000-08:00

What's this?... an update?

been a while. sorry for the lack of posts... life's just gotten a little crazy... i spend my weeks studying and my weekends partying... and when i'm not studying or partying i'm watching Read or Die (thank you thank you thank you, Chris!!).

GRRRR FINALS! I really shoulda spend last weekend cramming and finishing up all the essays i had due this week, but i basically wasted it doing fun stuff instead... ice skating friday, beowulf symposium and Cotillion (sp?) sat, and went to Mary and Jimmy's play on sunday night. w/e. here are a few pics from Cotillion.

heh this one's my favorite.

meh... see you guys after exams and such are over.

not pron

2005-11-30T10:54:00.000-08:00

not pron. no, really. not pron.

i told Trung i'd stay at UD if i could make it past level 10 on notpron... this super awesomeomely challenging puzzle thing online. my UD future looks bleak.

speaking of bleak.. which KIND OF sounds like bleach... eppie 60 will not air this week because Japan decided they'd rather see DR. DOLITTLE durring bleach's regularly timed showing. screw that.

i was, indeed, denied my A in english. and i DO blame the cowboys. I should probably finish the Aneid.

I'll just end with this site: Tricks to Teach your Body
Yes, I know it says Men's Health on it.. i got it form Lut who is, in fact, a man. man-ish anyway. I'm kind of curious if this one works for girls... i dont' know why it wouldn't...

"10. Unstitch your side!
If you're like most people, when you run, you exhale as your right foot hits the ground. This puts downward pressure on your liver (which lives on your right side), which then tugs at the diaphragm and creates a side stitch, according to The Doctors Book of Home Remedies for Men. The fix: Exhale as your left foot strikes the ground."

2005-11-21T20:03:00.000-08:00

i want an A in english...

EDIT: 21-24. dang. there goes my A!

[EDIT: I take it back. James Midkiff is NOT growing up. heh ^_^ ]

ugly, no?

2005-11-09T15:14:00.000-08:00

So i felt kind of obligated to post something new.. just so we could talk about something besides hair.

like ugly animals, maybe...

wtf IS that? Fine Japanese cuisine.. i'll tell you what.

I was catching up on the last few weeks of J-Walk articles (i had a lot of free time, okay...) and i came across this guy. I really just posted it because I thought it was funny, but if you're really interested in seeing the rest of the ugly animals.. here you go. have fun ^_^

p.s. the Plano East chuck made the top 10 ugly animals. that made me laugh.

and Tony is distracting:

Take The Quiz Yourself!

heh i got Ichigo first, but i decided i want to be Rukia.

it took me a while to get figure out this one:

Take The Quiz Yourself!

downright the sex, eh? what does THAT mean?

its seriously time for homework.

2005-11-06T20:05:00.000-08:00

goodbye 6 inches of hair

hell is

2005-11-03T10:22:00.000-08:00

Hell is three hours of titrations in Chem lab...

... and having to pee the entire time.

2005-10-28T09:44:00.000-07:00

2005-10-26T17:20:00.000-07:00

goodbye chemistry, hellooooo only 15 hours!

wow.. what am i going to do with those four extra hours a week? four more hours of sleep...? four more hours of eating? maybe i'll have time to do a reading in Understanding the bible.. or pass Biology?... oh this is so excellent! Another good decision for teh Kara!

Nashville tourney this weekend. see you guys 7:00 am monday morning. w00t!

2005-10-23T19:27:00.000-07:00

Okay.. quick post.. only pictures. i'll elaborate later, k?

heh... only 10 miles til Lubbock! go go go!

scott!! <3!

Austin.. wearing a towel...

J.J. is so hot... wish i got some pics of him awake.. hes uber awesome ^_^

troy hits chris in the throat.. blurry pic

badass troy

Summary: this weekend was frikin awesome... heh ask if you want details... particularly about that first picture...

2005-10-21T16:09:00.000-07:00

Rolling Bomber Special!

Holy Ahab! Rolling Bomber Special made my day. Its a japanese Power Rangers parody... go go go! Laughing is good for you. ^_^

oh man.. only like 6 hours! 6 hours til scott! heh.. Kara out!

2005-10-16T15:50:00.000-07:00

Heck yes! new Teen Girl Squad came out!

2005-10-13T12:15:00.001-07:00

The Architecture in Helsinki concert was awesome! I wasn't even originally planning on going to see them..

i was gonna go with Lauren to the Clap Your Hands (and say yeah) concert, but the guys at the door of the Gypsy Tea Room are jerks. They wouldn't let me in 'cause i don't have a license (ugh... discrimination!). That and my University of Dallas ID looks really shady. seriously. i dont' know why i expected them to take an ID that was hole-punched seriously.

heh... here's Fishboy.. one of the starting bands...

heh.. fishboy. you can't really tell by the picture, but they all looked like they belonged in teh woods. which was fitting.. since they were playing at Trees. w/e. they weren't very good.

crappy pic.. my camera was running out of batteries so i took a pic of the band durring some downtime. Architecture in Helsinki were awesome, tho! Crazy Australians. I would pay another $12 just to listen to their accents.

roses

2005-10-12T15:36:00.002-07:00

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

haha as i walked back to my dorm with roses you shoulda heard all the girls
"I'm so jealous!"
"I wish I got roses..."
"ooooooooo who are they from?!"

I wonder....

<3!!!!

2005-10-11T21:16:00.000-07:00

so me!

josh goode, i heart you.

2005-10-04T09:27:00.000-07:00

Josh Goode, I heart you.

If you've never heard of Josh Goode Band, then you probably haven't been paying attention to anything i've said in the past 6 months. Go listen to "Desire led the Way". Right now.

and if that doesn't do anything for you, then too bad for you. You can check out this Microsoft special: Bill Gates Goes to College. It's pretty much just as pointless as Napoleon Dynamite was, only shorter.

EDIT: I decided I'd just tag on a couple of things to this post... i'm already advertising Josh, so i thought i'd brag about a couple other friends and their awesomeness, too..

Everbody should go read this short story by Chris Kofos because its my favorite long short story in the world (yes, i like it better than your last one).

and....

By: Scott Bowling

Look at that!! Kirei desu. Beautiful. ^_^

anyway... good job talented friends! I'm impressed.

2005-09-27T05:40:00.000-07:00

"Men occasionally stumble upon the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened."
- Winston Churchill

bio test kicked my butt. chem test = boarderline, and i just found out my mailbox sharee has been taking my mail this whole time. wtf, mates? i guess she didn't know she was sharing [a mail box]... even tho half the mail she picked up was addressed to "kara mcdermott" wonder who that is... so she's got my letters and important information and MY GUN (for KAOS this week.. i'm still alive!)... plus all the stuff andrew sent me... that sucks.

[EDIT: Thank God for Svns. And Lauren Bruces.]

2005-09-22T10:11:00.000-07:00

and that, friends... is why you should always wear sunscreen to your little sister's soccer game (which she kicked butt in btw).

The UTD match sucked. its one thing to lose when you're playing... its another to lose watching from the bench. *frustrated* you can't even really do anything about the losing :(....

and on top of that, the UTD girls were meanies! they got a list of our names and numbers and yelled stuff at us.. Sophia (our mexican)was about to go beat them all up... but another girl on our team held her back... and poked her in the eye on accident in the process. that was pretty exciting.

i love volleyball. and all the girls on the team. they make me happy!!

anyway... im going to go play some more FFR. Homework? uh.. maybe later.

EDIT: i just called my mom.. Apparently we're gonna be in a hurricane. i should read a newspaper or something sometime. dang... if the world's gonna end, it should just hurry up and do it! no more of this natural disaster crap.

2005-09-16T23:12:00.000-07:00

Heck yes!! FFVII Advent Children is FINALLY out!

pretty, huh?

I haven't actually sat down and watched the whole thing yet, but from what Lut says, i hear its amazing (Lut didn't even play ff7 and he thinks its a "damn good movie").

Heh.... here's the torrent... but it won't do you much good unless you know japanese. so here's the english subtitle file, too. when you save the files, save 'em in the same directory as a vid file, and if the subtitles still don't pop up you probably need to dl VOBSUB.

too much work for just a movie? pretty graphics and ff7... its so frikin worth it!

heh and Lut (he's where i got all my links) found this Final Fantasy VII: Last Order! It's set before the actual game takes place. Here's the subbed version for all of us who only speak english.

we lost our tourney, but i get to go home for a little bit this weekend ^_^!

Kara out!!

2005-09-14T05:33:00.000-07:00

..........aristeia...............

honesty

2005-09-12T10:02:00.000-07:00

i'm going to be honest with you really quick.. just really quick because i try my best to keep this site from being my "ranting" place... i try to make it more of an entertainment page than anything else (admittedly i haven't been doing a good job of updating interesting things lately...)

That being said... I don't really like it here. don't get me wrong.. the people here are SO nice.. and my teachers are cool... and my classes are interesting, but i can't say i'm enjoying this much.

if anybody were to ask me how college is i'd say "its fun" or "i like my classes" or something... but college is just like high school. just without the good friends to make the crapload of work worthwhile. and i am SO greatful that Tim and Bob stopped by yesterday to chill for a while. 'course.. now there's not much chance of that happening again but i really needed to see some familiar faces.

i get the impression my dad thinks he's sent me on some amazing extended vacation where the best events of my life are waiting to happen. i dont wanna make him think im miserable or anything but the majority of my time i spend thinking about going home.. or how i'm going to find a way to see my friends this weekend...

im sure it just takes time to get accustomed! im really just upset right now... about lots of things.. and my meal card is missing. i know who i WANT to blame.. but now, more than any time ever before. i know its my fault. i dont feel much like eating just yet anyway

and spanish class got cancelled... which means one glorious thing for Kara: nap time.

so i'm out.

cbs 11

2005-09-11T10:07:00.000-07:00

hey... you wanna play a game?

Where's Kara?

yes, that's how i dance. yes, i think it's funny. yes, i give you permission to laugh, too. just be thankful they didn't catch me head banging.

2005-09-07T07:40:00.000-07:00

back in buisness!

wow... you guys are still looking at this? well.. after the accidental template-deleting mishap i began a code re-writing adventure! it looks mostly the same as the old one.. only i had to use the code for a VERY old message board. please comment so i can get rid of all the old posts!

i'll update better later.. i know its been a while.

2005-08-19T22:14:00.000-07:00

"Time for you to go out to the places you will be from..."

volleyball starts tomorrow. I'll miss you.

2005-08-14T17:04:00.000-07:00

props to chris... the only person i know crazy enough to brave the plagues and two nights of thunderstorms with me

^_^

2005-08-12T05:02:00.002-07:00

Hey! Josh is here!

Other than that, not much to update on. Went to visit Chris' nephew when he (the nephew) was born... went to chinatown with James for what he promised would be a cultural experience... but we were mostly just immature about it. how can you be serious about canned white fungus?

so.. i'm going camping this weekend. if you can call it a "weekend of camping".. more like "day of camping" w/e.. i really wanted to go camping! i'm missing the JGB, Daphne Loves Derby, and Rocket Summer concerts to go, too. *shrugs* should be worth it, though.

i'm so addicted to AVOIDER... try to keep your cursor away from the theif!! its really quite challenging lol... that theif is FAST. doesn't help when your computer is laggy. bad compy.

annnnnd....

Alison's "last chance at childhood" party was awesome... reminded me how rediculously fun my childhood was, though my mom is upset that i dont remember most of it.

hmm.. and today = 4 months.

sucks for all of you who have to go to school!!!

kara out!!

2005-08-04T17:37:00.000-07:00

I wanna frikin' PSP.

I didn't before, but now I changed my mind. I spend a hour watching G4 because they promised they'd show the Advent Children trailer. A whole frikin' hour. And apparently nobody's coming up with new games anymore.. they're just transfering old games to new systems... which is good i guess, but i want new games.

*pouts*

so about that PSP.... yeah Advent Children comes out for PSP before anything else in the United States. which makes me angry. If they aren't careful I'll be forced to pirate a copy. heh. pirate.

oh and i found this: Just Letters. Its only fun when you try to outguess what people are trying to write.. so you steal their letters and they're like "aw crap" mwahahahaha i seriously need something nicer to do.

P.S.

1. Reply with just your name and I will write something I like about you.
2. I will then tell what song/movie/icon reminds me of you.
3. If I were to apply an o'clock to you, I'll tell you what it would be.
4. I will try to name a single word that best describes you.
5. I'll tell you the most memorable moment I've had with you.
6. I will tell you what animal you remind me of.
7. I'll then tell you something that I've always wondered about you.
8. Put this in your journal/xanga/blog

2005-07-29T19:47:00.000-07:00

I know i've exhausted this topic with most of you.. but i thought i'd document the Josh Goode Band experience here anyway... just so i remember it. but before i say ANYTHING else i just wanted to to warn you NOT TO SEE WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY. k.. let the pictures begin.

cheerleaders

heh

lights, camera, action!

Goode day, i must say. Got my IB scores.. not so bad. Im getting my diploma! Ironic, no.. I didn't graduate, but i got my IB diploma!... And housing assignments came in. Jerome Hall con Lauren Bruce. YAY YAY YAY! We have to go shopping!! Talk to you all later! til then...

rock on!

2005-07-26T18:58:00.000-07:00

fin.

2005-07-25T18:06:00.000-07:00

Well.. i dont want to bore you with details.. so i'll just post my 10 favoritest pictures of the NC trip.

cool musk ox

sad rhino

freaky bird

bored at the car museum

freaky doll at my grandmother's house

we found Herbie

at the drag races

cute cousins

smiley donuts

ah, yes. well.. that one's for Scott.

p.s. i've recently been introduced to dangerous weapons made with office supplies (thanks to Lut).. tis is kinda cool. And this too.

Singing in the Rain

This Mint Royale Ad has some guy breakdancing with junk. it's slightly weird, but *shrugs* worth a watch...

props to Lut. dunno what i'd do w/o his random links.

2005-07-24T17:29:00.000-07:00

heh... i wasn't looking forward to coming home much. i wont overwhelm you with pictures now, but there are some funny ones i'll post later.. just so i wont feel guilty about two rediculously long posts in a row.

home sweet home.. Joey's happy to see us at least. the pool, once crystal blue for a short time, returned to its usual murky green color in the week we weren't tending to it. which sucks. because its hot outside.

Kara out

p.s. i hate J.K. Rowling. i couldn't have cared if Harry himself got killed, but she had to kill off my two favorite characters (one in book 5, one in book 6). yes, i cried. hehe ^_^ not a bad book overall if i pretend my favorite character wasn't murdered, though.

schedule

2005-07-14T14:55:00.000-07:00

Alright, kids... I'm off to North Carolina.

What's in North Carolina, you ask? Grandparents. yep. not much else, really.. a farm, maybe.. and a family owned brick-making company... but NC's soon to be really cool 'cause I'll be there with my guitar and every video game i own. feel free to come visit ^_^

anyway.. i thought i'd leave you with a schedule of events so you'd have something to look forward to while i'm gone...

Steubie pics!!!

bus disaster....

All Saints has a long history of bus disasters... broken air conditioners, leaky roofs, smelly bathrooms, and bus fires aren't uncommon on the Steubie trip in particular... our bus disaster this year: driver went a lil' too close to the trees on the way out and half the kids on the bus got showered in glass.

crazy azns

boys

girls

Richard, Katie, Alison

seniors!

Kara & Richard

sam, kelly, and her new hair cut

scott and kara at concert

thats a lot of people!

steubie tradition...

...every bus ride home the girls usually give some poor boy a make-over. i think he looks pretty, though.

EDIT: p.s..... 8 days!!!! ^_^!!

2005-06-23T20:46:00.000-07:00

FREEDOM!!!!

Summer school is officially OVER!!! too bad though... the rest of the summer's going to be borrrring. no more wacky girl-fights on the bus or crazy semi-related physics stories... *sighs* no more high school. i miss you all already.

:( i dont get to go on the California road trip... i dont get to go to the beach.. i dont get to see Josh til like August....

i am, however, embarking on a road trip of sorts starting tomorrow morning... steubie's this weekend. Meet ya there, Scott!

i'll come back to you with lots of pictures. promise.

^^^ PBF strikes again!

2005-06-18T07:48:00.000-07:00

heh.. i think i owe you a Harry Potter post...

July 16th, fellow nerds... then book number six (Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince) comes out!!! haha. i think i'll go to one of those midnight parties on July 16th eve... that way i'll get to make use of my graduation gown and i'd feel like the money spent on it was semi-worthwhile. when book number four came out my best friend, Amanda (the star wars freak) and i went to one of those parties... she wanted to curl my hair so it would look like Hermione's... but the curling iron got caught in my hair and we had to cut it out... so i went as hermione with a bit of hair missing, stephen went as Voldemort and carried around a big snake all night, and kelly went dressed as a toilet.

yeah actually i dont want to go to one of those parties.

and in honor of Harry potter 6 comin' out... i thought you'd like to see this Harry Potter puppet pals. gave me a few laughs anyway!

Kara out.

oh wait! i forgot. Sven got his server up.. so if you're uber bored... go watch Bleach episodes 1-36. I promise they're good!! <3!!

kara out for real this time.

2005-06-05T10:01:00.000-07:00

...well that was fun! yesterday was probably the coolest day of summer so far.. i mean i've gone to lots of cool parties... and hung out with lots of cool people... but i had tons of fun at the car show last night... and not because i know anything about cars.. because i had uber awesome company. ugh i shoulda done the push-up contest.... coulda used that 50 bucks. i was considering buying a lot of stick-on tattoos for the tattoo contest.. but i figured people'd probably be able to tell they were fake. and i think the highlight of Tim's trip was the bikini contest hehe.. anyway... here are some pictures!

Josh

Timmy! awwww....

Mustang

Mustang burns out! i thought it was really cool til we watched the actual burn out contest.

bobby's car

Bobby in bobby's car

start of race

ready... set... GO!

Bobby wins!

Mean models.. bleh

stunt bikers...

pretty cars...

^^^ NOS!

AWWWW a little kid.. and a bike

bobby's dad's bike

blue blur... silver blur

i have to say Josh is a lot crazier after midnight than he is during the day haha. anyway... i think we should all do that again sometime!

hope everyone is having an awesome summer!!!
kara out.

p.s. Coments are back!! Clicky "Level up" just like how it used to be... only its not as cool as before. curse you, enetation!

2005-05-29T12:35:00.000-07:00

Ham? nope... human thigh. gross, huh? Thought you'd like it.... if you're a biology dork like me (or just sick) and want to view any other cross sections of human flesh check out this virtual human slicer. oh man.. i can't believe i'm going pre-med...

Thank Yevon for the internet. Without it I'd be absolutely lost in the Summer.

..speaking of Yevon.. i'm throughly unimpressed with FFX. I finally hit the Titus-Yuna "water scene" and it wasn't really worth the 40 hours i've put into the game. i think i'm taking a FFX break (bleh... too cheesy.. even for me!)

And for all of you who thought my Japanese obsession was over with....

I just discovered Bleach/the Japanese rock band Orange Range. good stuff. hey if you get uber bored CLICKY HERE TO WATCH BLEACH. my brother's working on uploading all the episodes to his server.. i'll let you know when he fixes it.. it'll be easier to dl from that than Bleach Portal.

and A-con is coming up... im me if you're going!

2005-05-27T07:56:00.000-07:00

^_^ Summer is HERE!!!!!! And after almost a year of avoiding Episode III trailers and spoilers... I kicked off my out-of-schoolness the Friday we got out by goin' to see Star Wars.

I'm sure you've read about Star Wars Episode III being released online even before it comes out in cinemas. Download it here!

[Edited: Alrite. Alrite. It's fake... I hope the FBI warning did give you a scare though... heh heh. Anyway, here's the Torrent for the REAL Episode III workprint that someone stole from LucasArts, in all it's final source glory... complete with running counters =P Just don't tell anybody I gave it to you.

umm... predictably, this leaked copy's gonna cut LucasArts profits by a bit... and i would hope that any real star wars fan would suck it up and borrow the 6 bucks from their mothers to go see it in the theater. In short... I encourage you to stop being a pirate and go watch the real thing.

p.s. I got bored:

...how is that a PRANK?

i finished the IB Spanish test early friday... so i was a dork and walked back to school... (i had nothing better do do...)

anyway... while i was sitting there i noticed that there were some red floating things in our school pond.. usually that's not a big deal. we're used to floating crap in our pond. you walk across the bridgeway and you can see old desks and street signs and backpacks at the bottom of that thing. yeah so i didn't think much of it till i walked upstairs to Bio.

from above, the red floaties turned out to be a bunch of swimming noodles taped together to spell out SENIORS 'O5.

at first i was confused... why is it RED? er.. and how did they get it there?

but i did some research... senior pranks have a history of being rediculously lame. and on a more global scale, our meagre pond floaties were probably one of the better ones.

1) it was leagal.. mostly.. i dont know the details honestly
2) it didn't cost the school a lot of money
3) it wasn't messy
4) it was funny... *shrugs* i liked it
5) it didn't involve toilet paper

anyway.. here are other senior pranks that i've found... and they make PESH's prank all the more admirable:

1) Waltham, Mass.: Two Mensa students apparently left their brains at home one day. They decided to spray paint a penis and a threat on the school wall... now they're facing 20 years in prison.

2) Memphis, Tenessee: Nineteen students get suspended for gunking up the school hallways with baby oil and ketchup... ew.

3) Girl parks her car in hallway. No tickets issued. "at least they didn't tp the building" said one school official.

4) "our senior prank is checking out several books at the last second and on the last day returning them so the librarian has to stay late to catalogue them all." - shall remain anonymous

farmboys drive their tractors to school... two high schoolers let the air out of school bus tires (and get arrested)... the "bring a cow up the stairs and they wont come down" stunt has been done a million times. honestly.. are there no good pranks left to play?

These Kids reaffirmed my faith. Filled the gym with paper cups filled with water... must have taken a long time anway.

I liked these:
- one class outlined of a body on the street and put cones and police tape around it.
- another covered the entire flag pole with tires
- a bunch of kids set three goats loose in their school labeled 1, 2, and 4. they're cool.
- Ursuline chicks (yes the kind from the Catholic school) sunbathed on the front lawn... hehe good one, Alison! i'd post pictures if you weren't so 'scantily clad'

so anyway.. props, Pranksters of the Pesh senior class of '05. Its better than i could ever do!

tehe alliteration...

2005-05-05T20:10:00.000-07:00

First order of buisness.. wow. wow wow wow wow wow...

Secondly... HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAMES! HOORAY FOR ADULTHOOD!

And lastly.. How to Keep an Idiot Busyit took me about 10 seconds to win. have fun, though. i think it should be called the 'how to keep a smart person busy'.. because whoever can't beat it is obviously thinking too much.

2005-05-01T11:00:00.000-07:00

aw... Josh is gone...

*sighs*

this weekend was good anyway... didn't get much accomplished (academically). mostly just partied. good news, though... I BEAT FF7!!! ^_^ what a great game! sad its over now... i only have like 10 more final fantasy games to work on now... then i can play them over again. does anybody know when Advent Children is coming out? *fidgets* i can't wait!

Friday: IB Banquet! Fun (but woulda been more fun if Josh had teleported here like he said he would)! Here are some pictures...

...holding hands?

Arrrr! Mr. Most Likely To Buy a Country and Ms. Best Personality

James + Helen = <3

awww they're so cute!...

the Indian Girls + Anna... you can hardly see Kavya! hehe she's there though

Saturday: couldn't decide what college to go to so i made one last spontaneous trip to the University of Dallas for the final decision. Being on campus brought back so many memories of the summer.. i think i'd be happier at UD. So that's where i decided ^_^. w00t! i have a school! So if all goes according to plan i'll be rooming with Lauren Bruce (i heart Lauren), and playin' volleyball, and goin' to Rome.. this is gonna rock!

Then the Volunteer Appreciation Picnic. Free food. Presents ^_^! I got this really awesome cross with sand and water from the Jordan river in it. Uber special. Although... Father Tom warned me not to break it because there could be Israeli pathogens... he was kidding im sure.

Sunday: Last RE class so i threw a party for my kids. more presents. more free food !

And then tonight is the senior dinner at church. good thing i don't get partied out!

senior dinner

I sure hope everybody (and by everybody i mean mostly Josh) is having fun on the band trip!! Watch out for jellyfish!

2005-04-22T18:39:00.000-07:00

...PBF is crazy...

yarrr!!

This week = good. Taks is the greatest invention ever... we should have it every day.
day 1 = Pagoda and chinese bbq con Filipe
day 2 = donuts, ddr, and avoidance of Halo with teh Joshzor
day 3 = fought with josh over the bongos (i lost.. have the rug burns to prove it.. "battle scars"), and much haloizing

ughhhhh i have to figure out what school im going to next year in the next 8 days. i'm tempted to copy-paste my "pros and cons" list so that you all can vote and i wont have to decide.. *shrugs* maybe later though becuase i have to study for my Econ final exam tomorrow (wish me luck!)

so while i was 'studying' i came across these...and these... people much l337er than i beating games uber fast. enjoy, fellow gamers!

yay prom pics!!

Pretty picture, eh?

hmm.. some people were feeling picture neglected

man iono if im allowed to say this.. but we look super cute!

La Cueva Prom
PESH Prom (its the 'everyone's pictures' site... good luck finding me ^_^) password = PESH

2005-04-10T11:14:00.000-07:00

Prom = well worth the wait!!

I would post pictures and things but i look pretty bad in all the ones that are on my digital camera.. im hoping the ones on kelly's REAL camera turned out good. Anyway we had tons of fun! I think my favorite part was afterhours 'cause i was really lucky and won lots of fake $ and a door prize.

the night started off with lots of pictures.. went to Stacy's, got in limo, bobby almost fell out of limo (while it was driving.. Timmy's fault), went to Maggianos (mmmmm). The dance was a lot fancier that La Cueva's... there were roses everywhere and free (non-alcoholic) frozen drinks. So that was really fun.. got to see everybody all dressed up.. they were so pretty!!

won a photo-buletin-board-thing at after hours.. that was pretty cool. So many people i know won scholarships (including teh James and Michael Wilson, but they weren't there to pick it up!). Troy a $500 scholarship! ^_^

went to Josh's.. played Donkey Konga.. fell asleep to the Donkey Konga theme song (and was later woken up by phones going off, camera flashes, lights going on, and lots of poking). finally fell asleep again after everybody left to get donuts... ^_^! hehe

well i gotta go to church. hope everyone had a fun, un-drunken weekend!

2005-04-05T21:34:00.000-07:00

okay... well this post will be like a.. er.. sample post since i dont have the time or energy to write a fully intense blog tonight.. too exhausted

FRIDAY: Didn't get to go to Scott's concert (which is only fair because i didn't get to go to Josh's either the night before).. still nice to see him anyway.. even if it was only for ten minutes. i wish i had something to give him.

SATURDAY: up early. plane ride. lunch w/ erin and jason. homework. hair. make-up. dress. PROM! I'll post pictures later but it was super awesome!! Uber stoked for Plano East Prom too!

SUNDAY: still proming! nap. church. breakfast. homework. Green chile and chicken burritos! Plane ride home.

MONDAY: blah

TUESDAY: birthday... short list of thanks yous!!

Scotty: Thanks for the guitar pics! lol and the hugs!!!
Justin: ^_^ cracker-jacks!
Philip: (even tho u dun want me mentioning you)lol lots! Starbucks in the morning... yummy desert at lunch, japanese gum, fortune cookies, good-smelly hawaiian candle!
James: jawsome inside-joke-filled card... j00r anime version of you... ^_^ ^_^ ^_^
Josh: <3!! mmmm Reeses Peanut Butter Cups.. and prettiful cards! lol i let you get away with so much inuendo i'd never put up with from anyone else!

and then we went out for chinese food... came home & opened presents.. i got a chastity ring (been asking for one for a few years) annnnnnnndddddd....

2005-03-24T21:02:00.000-08:00

i felt jealous, so i adopted my own penguin.

its kind of lame because all you can do its poke her til she falls into the water... but i dont regret spending the 10 seconds it took to get her.

Easter is in two days
Duck Week is next week (thats my favorite week of the school year)
Kristin's birthday is in one week
Scott comes to Dallas next weekend ^_^
La Cueva Prom is in One week one day
Plano East prom is in two weeks one day

its like having a million holidays smashed into one month. i'm so excited!!!

hmm i find out if i made it into middlebury tomorrow... *stomach churns* that makes me nervous. i mean i dont expect to get in, but a huge part of me wants to go there.. even though its cold. Wish me luck!!

Bored? Play the Stink-o-man game. I can't get past level 2 and i feel like a major n00b. go on now, show me up!

2005-03-20T08:23:00.000-08:00

HEY GUYS!!! I'M IN THE NEWSPAPER!!!... Dallas Morning News.. sports section.. Picture of Don Nelson.. look up and to the left and there i (wearing navy blue) am with my dad (he's wearing orange & white)! haha not the most flattering picture, i'll admit.. but i'm still in the newspaper! YAY!

hmmm this weekend was uber eventful even though i didn't get to hang out with Jamie or James...

You guys cannot fathom how rediculously sore i am from football friday. I suck at that game so bad.. i'm thinking of paying someone a dollar just to teach me how to not run like a girl.

k so after football it was off to Josh's... got Madden tutorials... and i STILL suck at it. :( Josh's mom made me goooood pizza and we talked about prom for a really long time. apparently i'm really lucky to have made the cut for this prom group. everyone wants in! anyway.. we played some Anime RPG which was far more complicated than the games i normally play (but it was still awesome!), i went home and crashed.

saturday: avoided phone calls from someone who wanted me to babysit 'cause i wanted to chill with Jamie or James... then mom's all like "DO PHYSICS!!! AHHHH!!". my dad took me to the Mavs game anyway. i heart basketball. im most definitely playing in college.

i know this post is getting annoyingly long, but i dunno where else to post this... couple nights ago i was studying for bio, doing my tok project, and everything else under the sun, and so i just ate popsicles all night to keep myself awake... half of the jokes were about computer mice (and those jokes are LAME) but i'll post the ones i liked best:

5) Why do cars like this joke? Because they never TIRE of hearing it.
4) How do you split the ocean in two? With a sea-saw. (*rolls eyes*)
3) Where do bees wait? At a buzz-stop!
2) What is the saddest bird around? A blue jay.
1) (this is my personal favorite) What do you call a fly without wings? A walk!!!

AHAHHAHAHAHAH okay time to go to church.

*sighs* spring break is winding down, kids. I totally dont want to go back to school.. i've been bogged down with schoolwork all break and im not ready to pile more crap on top of my correspondence. CURSE YOU, PHYSICS!

so my vacation was cold. i appologize for the lack of kara shots... but i wasn't about to go stand in the snow to pose for a picture, thanks.

^^ I wanted you guys to feel how i do when i look down into what used to be the sky...

^^ This was our hotel... kinda looks like a scene from The Shining or something, don't it?

^^ Taken from inside the car.. kinda a cool picture i think.

^^ Its blizardizing on us... sooo coooold. The day before was so nice.. i thought i could go outside in a t-shirt and jeans... nope. i didn't even get to go skiing!! :( apparently they dont' do that in storms.

As for the rest of break... Group IV bio project, TOK project, Economics (i finished!!!), and FF7 (still not finished...).

Mal's house last night was pretty fun... reminisced about middle school while playing Pokemon Yellow.

And now i gotta go teach. See you guys monday?

~~South Padre~~...Vermont.. here I come.

yay for spring break!!! i feel like im going backwards... everyone is rushing south for the nice, warm beaches and i'm heading north.. for the bitterly cold colleges. the cold is only worth it when there's snow.. and Vermont, lucky for me, is sludging in like two feet of snow. -2 degrees on tuesday. I'll be thinking about you, Josh when im walking like a snow zombie under all those layers of down. *glares menacingly*

so today i packed, cleaned, homework-ized, and chilled with Josh. - ^_^ - ^_^ - ^_^ -

we went to see Hitch which was one of the funniest movies i've seen in a long time then back to his place for some Donkey Konga* :) haha and i got to discuss prom with Josh's mom.. i really can't wait! it should be a blast.

anyway... have a nice, warm Spring break, kids. and i'll bring back lots of pictures of real snow.

i leave you with a funny kitten. i love kittens. ^_^

2005-03-01T19:47:00.001-08:00

ugh. if there were an "i flip you off" button on this compy, i'd have used it today.

2005-02-27T18:00:00.000-08:00

^^^ I think i should have given up PBF for Lent. Okay starting NOW i give it up. its bad that i come home from church every sunday to see what new, perverted comic they've come up with. *sighs* i'll sure miss it tho.

really awesome weekend...
Friday = babysitting + beatles music + big bunny. Kids watch some really weird stuff on the internet. don't worry though.. i introduced 'em to my good friend, Homestar Runner.

Saturday = homework + Josh's Party + Anchorman. Josh's party was soooo fun!! I miss hanging out with those people all the time. Stacy's super sweet, and Mal's always fun to laugh with... hmm so at the party we went to Whirlyball.. ddred and laser tagged. Steve Swanson works there now (steve was my bestest friend in elementary school, and my first crush <3!! hehe). so it was good to talk to him again. Hung out at josh's... actually pet Josh's dog which was a first. i think it was because i fed her some pizza crust... hmm and we played video games.. and reminisced about our childhood. Saw 10 things i hate about you.. which was super good. went home, watched anchorman, laughed, and crashed.

Sunday = teach class + homework + Cara's house + church. Nothing too exciting.. guitar jamming session at Cara's house.. we spent an hour making fun of our Group IV project and counted it as "project discussion" in our log book. at least we killed another hour. 6 more to go.

and if any of you dont want to write your TOK paper, i have an uber trippy time killer. try the treasure box game. okay, now go have adventures!

***edit***
anyone could ask me any number of questions and i'd answer them 100% truthfully right now, but i thought i'd post this anyway:

You can ask me ANY SEVEN questions (or up to seven, you can do fewer if you're like me and can't think), no matter how personal, inappropriate or random. I promise to answer the questions 99.9% truthfully. Repost this and see what people want to ask you!

2005-02-25T21:58:00.000-08:00

Happy Birthday Joshua!! hehe and Fran too!!!!

sorry.. last post for today, i promise.. just had a few things to wrap up...

!!! I think that one should be for you, James. ^_^

annnd i'd just like to say that Josh Pritchard is awesomely awesome and thank you times ten million!! I was totally gung-ho about trying to stay slim enough to fit in my prom dress.. but.. then i saw buttery-carmel chocolates and decided i can get the dress tailored later. I'm sure Josh would understand ^_^ Its so awesome tho.. 'cause i have a hugging teddy bear!! and i needed a hug today <3! w00t for hugzors!

p.s. I love Alison Goh with all my <3. This CD brings back so many memories... i still know the dance moves to basically every boy band song on there (but dont tell anybody...).

2005-02-14T16:37:00.000-08:00

happy valentines day!!!

It took me like three tries to understand what the card was saying... Props to Chris (he sent me the valentine[s]). (if u wanna see really awesome old school valentines... i hope Chris doesn't mind if i linky them here. Really the numbers go 1-36, so u can just switch 'em out to see 'em all. i dun feel like linking every single one of them. lo siento.)

bought my prom dress for $50 today. Considering the only other one i saw and liked was 600 bucks i'd say i did pretty well. its red!! lol and strapless.. which is dangerous but w/e.

oh.. and.. *blushes*.. i didn't send you that song... that would be my brother's doing. I was recording songs: this is true.. but.. wouldn't... have... sent it.. and.. im.. really.. sorry. and the Link Valentine is from Chris/Kelly.. i wouldn't have sent that either. as cute as it was...

pweeeeze delete the song... at least until my band and i get a good recording in...

*wallows in embarassment*

v day gift ideas

2005-02-13T08:14:00.000-08:00

O.K. a friend of mine inspired me. In honor of Valentine's day I'm going to post my "cheap but meaningful" romantic gift ideas!!

Nothing says "I heart you" like a homemade gift... and there's tons of stuff u can make without spending ur life's savings...

1. A Scrapbook - it depends on what kinda a person ur making it for... but pixers, movie tickets, cartoons, glitter... should make for a pretty nice present

2. Duct Tape Rose - Chris Kofos made one for me for my b-day.. i have to say those are super awesome.. and they dont die.

3. Mixed CD - classic. put all "your songs" on it.. but i wanna make some suggestions. If you're going for happy and fun I recommend "Glory of Love", "So happy together", "Don't wanna miss a Thing" or "That Thing You Do" cover by NFG.
-"I saw her standing there" by the beatles is a pretty cute song... but anythign by the beatles will probably do
-if you're going for romantic and sweet "I'll Catch You" by the Get Up Kids is the ultimate. Also try Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes"

4. Message in a Bottle - along with a message u could put little candies in or something.. make it pretty ^_^.. there are a lot of possibilities for that one.
-you might wanna make ur message in a bottle a poem or love letter...
-ugh.. when u write love letters... dun use the "your eyes are diamonds" metaphor unless u talk like that in real life.. and not many of you do.

5. Dollar Art is cute... I personally think the Box would be cool. i'm sure u can think of a million things to put in it.. tic-tacs or something? lol uhh or u could always try the valentine dollar.

6. Make a Message Puzzle... I found this one online, but i think you could make ur own easily.

7. Magic 'I Love You' Bean. This one you'd actually have to buy... but i just thought it was awesome.

thats all i got, kids. have an awesome valentines day!!

2005-02-12T23:11:00.000-08:00

Hmmmm... its been a while since i updated. So first of all... I guess I owe everyone a happy Lent, and happy new years too for those of you who are Chinese-ish.

quite an exciting day... oh wait.. before i start on that...

got a blue chocobo [finally]!! yeah there's my valentines day present to Scott. tehe im pretty sure taking a picture of your tv screen has to be the opitome of dorkiness. *shrugs*

so ff7 all morning.. logged 8 hours so far this weekend which is a sad thing, really. then i went to take pixers of Esteban because he had his Valentines formal today. ne way... he and Kelsey were cute.

then.. ate at Kathy's Wok... made Kimmy a cute b-day card, and went to the bowling party (which was totally awesome). high score: 112 ^_^

*Kimmy opens presents*

^^^^ Look how pretty Kendall is! Alright well.. this update is slowly evolving into an essay. better hit the sack before i start rambling...

2005-02-06T19:51:00.000-08:00

^^^
Spent most of the weekend working on my guitar project for physics. requirements: 1) at least one string 2) play a scale 3) have a theme. so kara made a real guitar. go figure. i think it turned out superly awesome, tho!! ^_^ its boarding on looking-like-a-bird-house. w/e its prettyful.

on the topic of guitars...
They're called The Scruples and they're Jawsome. not awesome.. awsome with a J because they're that cool.. and they're azn. its just some 13 year old kid on his guitar and 7 year old brother screaming into the compy. it was good for a few laughs today, i admit.

anyway.. my favorite song by them is the Naked Song. Possible lyrics:

"being naked's really fine
you ask me why i'll tell you what
IIIIIIII loooooveee beingnakedonetwothreefour!"

iono you tell me what you think hes saying. little kids blurr their words like they're talking spanish or something.

and if you really hate 7 year olds and guitars... this German fork lift safety video should entertain you.. or at least expand your cultural horizons a bit.

oh yeah and the Superbowl happened today. i didn't catch much of it but im sure its worth mentioning.

<3 <3 <3!!! kara out ^_^

2005-01-31T17:50:00.000-08:00

*edit*

awww... thats me and Jason at our 5th grade graduation! And yes, I'm the one wearing a dress. ^_^

hmmm well there's really not much to update

homework, internal assesments, correspondence, spanish tutoring... no sleep... thats about it.

i just felt obligated to share IB's contribution to the world of skateboarding videos. nice one, Wylee (and props to Chris for sending me the linky)

oh.. and *cyber pancakes* for scott

byes!!

*** Another edit just for Chris***
TECHNICALLY I'm not allowed to say that it's IB's contribution since Wylee isn't in IB.. but Chris is... whatever. It's now officially renamed "Chris and Wylee's Contribution to the World of Skateboarding Videos".. am i all politically correct now?

2005-01-29T06:52:00.000-08:00

*does a little dance* prom's gonna be so fun! haha its definitely a break from IBness that i'm looking forward to. i wish i could dedicate a weekend to beating ff7 because i really miss Cloud... i hope he doesn't feel too ignored. after 100 hours of playing i think we've really bonded.

i'd just like to say that Biren Patel makes all of our lives a little less stressful and we should all worship him and his spikey eye brows for that.

2005-01-16T09:26:00.000-08:00

dontclimbonbudha: i bet i could just sit on her and beat her that way
Uber Freak Sk8r: lol, you calling yourself fat?
dontclimbonbudha: no... ?
dontclimbonbudha: taller
Uber Freak Sk8r: Oh, lol, k
dontclimbonbudha: ?
dontclimbonbudha: lol
dontclimbonbudha: iono!
dontclimbonbudha: are YOU calling me fat?

i love boys...

and i love Final Fantasy A+

and I love this comic.

but most of all, i love YOUUUU! Have a nice day!! <3!

2005-01-15T05:58:00.000-08:00

Just a few updates.. nothing uber profound...

dissected a heart yesterday.. not the kind that's been sitting in preserving juices in a lab freezer for a month, but the freshly plucked type. its like the bloodiest thing i've ever done...

going to prom = check
get a date = check
get a dress = i have like 3 months to find one... not too worried. this is gonna be soooo fun tho!!!

first gig = Sunday.
nervous = very yes.

lol even though its not a REAL gig ima consider my resolution accomplished. im putting on a 'concert' for the 3rd and 4th graders at church... they like me. it can't go too bad i guess.

studying my brains out = now
spanish club movie night at Kavy's = 6:30 Sunday
Prolife rally/concert/DDRING at Main Event= 8:00 Sunday

scary college interview = Monday in Sherman (Austin College).... you know what i've been wondering? what would colleges think of me if they googled my name? *blushes* i'd be rejected for being such an idiot on this site... or maybe they'd accept me 'cause they felt sorry for me?

Salsa dancing lessons = February 2nd. w00t!

Austin College Presidential Scholarship Essay = due in 7 hours.

Better get crack'n.

2005-01-09T07:02:00.000-08:00

Hey look! Its Eirik Glambek Boe!!! <3 <3 <3 X 10!!

Hmm got two new cds yesterday. Kings of Convenience: Riot in an Empty Street (^^^^see above picture), and Deathcab's Transatlanticism. Both are worth the buy, I think. Deathcab just for "License and Registration" and KoC for "I'd Rather Dance With You". This song is seriously catchy... anyway.. everyone should go have a listen.. the music video is pretty cool.

Thank God for little brothers. Friday he walked to Blockbuster in the cold with me to rent movies. Ju-On was a million times better than the Grudge. Not scary at all but it actually has more of a plot and everything makes more sense.. if you see Ju-On 2 and 3 u'll understand the whole story which is like genius. plussss all the azn guys are really cute!! except that bald one. but he didn't even look azn.

anyway... im starting to see the difference between people who protect you from what you're afraid of... and the ones who distract you from what you're afraid of. either way its good for a while because you're not so scared... but when you loose 'em u gotta deal with a whole different kind of nightmare. GAHHH NO MORE THINKING FOR YOU!

Kara out!

yucky day

2005-01-04T16:16:00.000-08:00

blahh yucky day. dreary weather. dreary school. dreary regulars kids. its a good thing i like physics or i would be dying in that class. all they do is stare........ I like IB where i can fade into the background but still get respect when its due. All I did in Physics really was listen to how some girl with a broken nose was excited about getting a nose job. I asked a lot of questions about earthquakes too. maybe thats why everyone kept staring?

in other news... :(

Anyway... to brighten the dreariness....

hope this makes you smile.

Finals are over and school's outtttttt!!! Spent friday/saturday partying like woah. I'm glad Josh ended up coming... if he didn't i would have probably gone crazy. Everyone else missed out on the All-Nighterness. I missed Shananana and The Goh, but it was awesome anyway... scavenger hung (only got kicked outta one resturaunt)... pizza, but not very much of it.. ice skating and broom ball.. bowling.. lasertag/whirlyball/DDR... quite a good time. Went home. FF7 for 8 hours. sleep.

...closer than any picture should ever be taken of Katie and me...

Melody rides a pony...

*catches their breaths* Whirlyball was probably the highlight of the night... When they shut down laser tag, Josh and Stephen were the main entertainers... they had an audience of like 30 people haha.

awwwwwwww....

If ya wanna see the full chronicles of the All Nighter clicky here!

ib xmas

2004-12-14T03:29:00.000-08:00

An IB kid knows its time for Christmas break when...

1) He hears the intro to "We Three Kings" and is filled with the overwhelming urge to break out in Mrs. Walls' "por" useage song.

(pray for pay for thank for use por
for the sake of in exchange for
in favor of yet to do
use por and the morning, at night too)

yeah i still remember it. i almost used the wrong words at church on Sunday. That was such a traumatic experience.. its been engrained in my head. And i still dunno when to use por or para. Darn you spanish!!

2) He realizes he can make quite stylish ornaments out of the coke cans collected on his desk after weeks of studying.

3. He looks forward to drowning his stress in eggnog (only after finals tho).

4. He has dreams in which Mr. Fharquar is really Santa Clause. Mr. Fharquar is so cool! I dun think hes old enough to be Santa tho :(.

5. He beings a quest to correct the grammar of lame christmas songs only to be completely overwhelmed with the lack of flow and real word usage. (if you have ever heard the "hickory dock" song you know what i'm talking about).

6. He cold probably graph the sin of the bags under his eyes if he really wanted to.

7. TOK class begins a two day argument about the probability of two snowflakes being alike. Mrs. Lilley talks about teleportation.

8. In decorating you absentmindedly being to classify your christmas tree... euchariotic, plantae,... well its definitely a gymnosperm...

9. He can't wait to build snow nerds:

dontclimbonbudha: i wanna make a snow nerd!
LilacAngel2005: oooo
LilacAngel2005: yes
LilacAngel2005: good idea
dontclimbonbudha: lol
dontclimbonbudha: we can borrow vishy's glasses for it
LilacAngel2005: lol
LilacAngel2005: ya
dontclimbonbudha: and Yale always has stylish scarfs
dontclimbonbudha: tho i doubt he'd let a snownerd borrow it
LilacAngel2005: and paras's retainer
LilacAngel2005: ewwwww
LilacAngel2005: ya
dontclimbonbudha: LOL
dontclimbonbudha: omg
dontclimbonbudha: lol lol lol lol

thats it for now. feel free to add ur own since im sure everyone else is far more innovative than i am.

2004-12-13T04:42:00.000-08:00

i'm thinking life needs its own strategery guide.

2004-12-12T07:25:00.000-08:00

nick came over on friday ^_^! he brought me his old FF7 Strategy Guide.. (yeah i know i'm cheating). I thought i was almost done.. then i see all the stuff i missed and all the ultimate weapons i can't get unless i start over from like 10 hours ago.. o well! i can win without it! I just can't defeat emerald monster 'cause he takes me out in like three swipes... this angers me.

Rumor has it Advent Children is coming out a few months earlier than expected. This makes me HAPPY. GAHHH look at those graphics!! *melts* A bit of advice before you watch the trailer... turn the volume down. it was taken in a movie theater in like Japan or something. The audio quality is.. well not good. Dang tho look at Vincent.. ooo and TIFA. I just wish i knew what they were saying.

the wall

2004-12-08T03:10:00.000-08:00

do i miss him? more than i can say
do i regret everything i said? i knew i would
do i think i did the right thing? yes.. but that doesn't stop me from still loving him.

its the only way i coulda let him go... and yeah the next few months are gonna be hell but at least he can be happy now. maybe both of us can? really there wasn't a method to our little fight, just me being stuffed with false anger by my little sister... and then exploding at him. i didn't mean i never wanted to talk to him again.. it just came out like that..somehow...

sorry, Cara i tried to suck it up, i really did. i tried to be just like you. I have to complain... that's just me.

the only terrible moments are the ones right before i fall asleep. Durring the day i can distract myself with my slinky bracelet or pump my blood full of caffine, and in my dreams, things are still the same with us. But before i fall asleep i have to think everything over, and i don't want to. i've just been avoiding sleep because im a dork like that. not doing hw either.

well if you're one of like two people who have been in my room recently, i had this massive collage on my wall... with pictures i've drawn, paintings, movie shots of Squall and Rinoa. I made it over the summer when i was terrified of forgetting everything. Not the video game lol. I forget things easily.. and there were people who i lost who i never wanted to lose (at least in my mind).

So movie ticket stubs and notes and comics my friends drew me were up there.. along with some poems guys wrote me from last year.. some pictures of them, some random plane tickets and crayon masterpieces drawn on macaroni grill table cloths...

I got mad and tore it down this morning..and when i say this morning i mean 2:00. And it felt good to destroy something so beautiful. Josh and Phillip.. Adam, Michael, Matt, Jonathan, Bobby... everyone's gone. Zach's gone. And i know i'll forget them all, but i think that's the way i want it.

2004-12-07T17:42:00.000-08:00

haha and one time we went to LanShark and they all thought i was a lesbian. i didn't even play anything back then, but it was cool to just hang out with you.

2004-12-06T16:23:00.000-08:00

haha remember that one time that Ignacio threatened to shit on our cars if we weren't friends anymore? that was funny. and i still don't have a car.

2004-12-05T22:54:00.000-08:00

once i was really angry at you and i said some horrible things
and then you drove all the way to my house to deliver a letter
and i believed everything it said.

w00t!!! you made it to 18!!!! YAY ADULTHOOD!!!

you are the most awesome grown up i know!!! the kind that still watches cartoons and plays video games and laughs and lame jokes!! yup. i know you're only a few hours into adulthood but i pray you stay the same crazy guy you are through college and whatever comes after.

less than 6 months til we graduate...man we're getting old. In honor of Scott's b-day i took 18 crazy pictures at school. Unfortunately with SATII's tomorrow i'm spending my hours studying my eyes out instead of battling blogger bot to post all the hilarity...

but tomorrow... thats when the fun begins! too bad Scott doesn't know ne of the people.. then the pics woulda been ten times funnier. maybe eleven times.

2004-11-21T18:18:00.000-08:00

ok... maybe i watched one too many chick flicks this weekend... i used to hate them. now im like obsessed. Tony recommended "Dream of a Warrior".. which was awesome since i love koreans and i love love stories. a little hard to follow at points.. and random.. but ultimately pretty cute. and im not sure if 13 going on 30 counts but that was a cheesy/sweet movie. i had a couple of good laughs...

weekends = lonely. i babysat on friday and freaked myself out watching scary movies all night. the kid i babysit for is really cute tho... he can only say like 3 words.. "pweeze," "gig'em" and "jesus" lol. i turned on an 80's station and he danced.. awww!! hehe he never cries or gets mad or anything.. i think if all kids were like that everyone would have like 20.

tehe got this off of a friend's site.. "no.. i'm not obsessed with stuffed animals trapped in glass jars..."

memoir

2004-11-20T01:56:00.000-08:00

...did you know i still miss you?

2004-11-15T16:56:00.000-08:00

Tehe homecoming pics are INNNNN!!! I'm including them with pics of the Harvest Ball and some random pics but i'm sure u guys dont mind. hey i'm in one or two of these pics.. sooo if you wanna go have a laugh...

"Homecoming" 2003

aww bobby's so cute! i heart you!!

2004-11-14T13:22:00.000-08:00

Disregard my last post. I choose to be a Romantic because its more fun this way... that and i dont wanna give my ring back!

OK... good weekend!! Hehe on Friday, Scott came from Houston with some drum kids so we hung out friday. Definitely the highlight of my weekend... met some new really cool kids.. re-united with some Houston Steubies... and realized i can't throw a football even after Josh Pritchard's patient attempts to teach me. Yup and I feel special 'cause Scott's coming back in January AND April. w00t! Hopefully Bobby'll come meet him next time. I was getting all excited 'cause Emilina told us there was going to be a drum battle (like in "Drumline"!!!) after the game... never happened. I say St. Thomas won.. because they were the only ones who showed up. HA! Stupid BL.

Saturday I tried to read Madame Bovary. did some chores. then partied with Laura and Catholic Mike. I totally Pwned everyone at laser tag... only because it was free-for-all and i sniped everyone from upstairs (is that cheating??). Stared at the strobe light a while.. was indirrectly involved in a plot to cover Laura's face in frosting.. good times. Weasel tried to teach me how to waltz.. but i quickly grew uncomfortable... too much bubble violating. The only bad part about the party was i had to drive by Laura Evan's house. yeah ima jealous bitch.

In other news... i decided to fix the picture problem by taking an easy way out...

What i should do is just use the Blogger photo hosting program but im too lazy to figure it out. soooo what you guys get to do is click on my Tripod photo albums if you wanna see pics..

if ya wanna see more football game pics...

Scott Comes to Visit
