As If

Currently three minutes past nine in the nighttime. Hm, I just realized something, but immediately forgot it... Wait, behold! I remember. "Heart of Greed" is over! :( I never even got to watch the last episodes! Man, that sucks. I would ask my mom how it ended, because I am so very sure that she watched all of them, but then I don't feel like asking at the moment. I recognize that it is very bad that television has become such a source of obsession for me lately. I really ought to read The Scarlet Letter or something instead. Anything pertaining to the world of education pertaining to a high school whose colors just so happen to be orange and blue, to whom it may seem a most peculiar combination of hues. It's not even ten yet, and I already have a slight headache and I am extremely sleepy. Not surprising, though, since I fell asleep at nearly two last night! Up until midnight or so studying (but to no avail, after my day today), then my sister and I engaged ourselves

ToMerlino & CraigWestphal

Man, those guys are my heroes today! And probably for the rest of the week! Oh, goodness! I get so very excited when I think of either of them! More for the former than the latter, because the former is much younger, and he's way cool! Not saying that the latter isn't, 'cause he did buy both a minivan AND a '72 Camino, whatever that is (I at least know that it is a car...). Okay, so here's a brief for you, but knowing me, you'll probably end up reading about the two (or more...) for an excruciatingly long time! Today, I watched "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" before dinner, as usual. I didn't catch the very beginning of it, but I started watching as he went for $16,000. Good thing he hadn't used any of his lifelines yet, because on that one question, he had to use poll the audience AND phone-a-friend (because the poll was so very close). So he called his friend and got the right answer, which was D. And then he went on and on, and he had used a

To "Conversate"

Second...no, third blog for today. (Don't ask unless you already know.) I don't feel like I've said enough today, I guess. Or, well, at certain points, it's been enough, but then more comes to me. I am currently talking with (I realized today that there's a difference between "talking to" and "talking with"... think about it) somebody I haven't spoken to in a while. Man, that didn't make very much sense. At least, not to me. And I'm eating something from yesterday morning, and it tastes kind of sour, so I'm debating with myself about whether or not I should continue eating it. I just looked down at it, and I decided to not continue. So when I finish this paragraph, I shall get up and bring it to the kitchen. Eh, let's end here. Now consuming a green plum, or, as it says on the sticker, pluot. For those of you who don't know, a pluot and plum are approximately the same thing. It's good. There are also reddish pluots, as

Chimpanzees, Brush fires, and Interrogations

It is half past three in the afternoon, and I am so extremely sleepy, but I shall not nap! Because I am going to blog, and then study for whatever it is I feel like studying afterward. This morning, I uncharacteristically got up before nine (8:44, to be exact) because I had to go to the zoo for an anthro assignment. I was kind of looking forward to it last night, because I actually get to sit down, observe people, and write observations down! (I'd always wanted to do that, just to see how people would react.) So I woke up, read a few pages of Lang&Lit for Deca (surprise, surprise), ate breakfast, and then left home for the zoo with my mother and sister a little past ten. We got there just before eleven and lined up for a short while to get tickets, which were $12 each. (My mom says that when we used to go, they were half the price for adult tickets!) Anyway, it was so gay (I haven't used that word to describe a situation in a while), because there weren't even that many

If I Say a Thousand Times

It is currently 7:23 in the P.M. and it is hot. Today was a highly uneventful day, and though I didn't get much done, I can't exactly say that I didn't do anything. I practiced playing a particular song on the piano; I am glad to say that I have almost accomplished the song, yay. And then I made some calls and took care of a few things. Of course, I still have that whole mound of homework awaiting my efforts... But I'll tend to that another day. Oh, I guess later tonight I'll read the Lang&Lit guide for Deca. My mom and I went to Alhambra to get something today. Well, we didn't get it, because we weren't even sure of the product I was supposed to get. On the way, we passed by our old home... Where we lived over a decade ago. Gee, it's been really long... Anyway, as we were driving past, I saw our landlady and I said, Oh, let's go visit her! On our way home we passed by there again, but she wasn't outside anymore. Man, whenever we pass by that

Surprised Much?

Are you surprised? You've seen all that I have done And what I have not I know what you expected You gave me your advice and I listened Now look how everything has turned out Just the way you wanted it to Surprised much? I'm back! Well, I didn't really feel like doing anything else. Well, that's a fallacy. I do. I continued my "letter" to someone who is most likely not going to read it until like, months later anyway. During the ten minutes I was writing that, I had an urge to visit my journal, but then I ended up coming to the computer because my sister told me that I had two IMs. Not that that really matters right now, because it's not like anybody's replying to my responses. Much. Gosh, I came back for this?! I stop my important life activities for this? Okay, then. Whatever. It's approximately 10:20 in the P.M. at the moment. And I am feeling rather sleepy. My eyelids are like, dropping over my eyes. Or whatever the phrase is. Or isn't. Wha

Truth and Promises

Currently 4:56, post meridian, I think it stands for. It's only afternoon, and I'm already sleepy! Been so all day, actually. I seriously dislike having to awake so early in the morning during the summer. Catch up on sleep. Ha. Well, at least I've been "exercising", which, obviously, is very beneficial. It's cool. Let's see... Today I finished reading one packet for Deca! The economics resource guide on the economy of Mexico. (This year's topic is Latin America.) Granted, it is only 13 pages, the shortest guide of them all... But hey, I figured since I'm learning econ, why not, right? For two and a half hours, I was at the library, first reading and then "napping". It's so cool sleeping there. Then again, one cannot to any extent effectively attempt to deny the number of people who do sleep on those couches. I don't like to think about it. It makes me uncomfortable, haha. "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2"! I want to

Once Upon a Broken Heart

Currently 7:30 in the evening, and I just watched the first toss-up for "Wheel of Fortune". Today's "Jeopardy" was so close! Well, it didn't end up being so, but...yeah. That Daniel guy was so awesome. I love how atrevido he is, risking $12,000 for one question! He lost about sixteen grand during the final round though, so...whatever. I'm boring myself already. How you changed my world you'll never know I'm different now, you helped me grow You came into my life sent from above When I lost all hope you showed me love Two: I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am? I was talking to my friend earlier and telling her what I did today: ribbons221 : walked to the bus stop at 6:45, waited about ten minutes, got on the bus, studied on the bus for my anthro test, got to school at 7:25, went to the nearby bookstore on the way and bought my anthro book,

If You're Not the One

I just learned what CSI stands for: crime scene investigation. I'm watching it right now. I seem to have developed a fondness for shows like this. And quite a dislike for so-called "reality shows". Seriously. How "real" can they be anyway? I'm currently torn between "CSI" and "Grey's Anatomy". Sarah Dessen likes "Grey's Anatomy" and "Gilmore Girls", among several other shows. Does "Gilmore Girls" ever even air anymore? I miss that show... I LOVED that show! So much better than "Gossip Girl" or "One Tree Hill". Why am I talking about this, again? No school tomorrow. Yay! I have been walking around so much this week. It's good, though. Exercise is good. Today one of my friends point out that girls say "exercise" whereas guys say "work out". True. Hmm, this episode of CSI is pretty interesting... So I shall direct my attention to that and continue after it ends

A Midsummer's Night

At last! The computer is working. Well, it's always worked. It's just that we finally switched the keyboard and mouse with those from our old computer. (We were just too lazy to do it this whole time, until our cousin came over today to help us resolve this dilemma.) It is currently thirty-seven past nine in the nighttime (that rhymed! again!). For the past few weeks, I have been having constant episodes of self-diagnosed slight insomnia, and last night about half past midnight I figured out that on nights that I blog or write, I fall asleep so much better! And like I've said once before, it doesn't help that most days, I wake up in the middle of the night due to a case of havingtogoeatfoodtoresolvehypoglycemia. And...yeah. Hmm. This week has been rather crazy. The craziest, busiest week of the summer so far. So far! Goodness. Taking the bus is something that I'm getting more and more accustomed to day by day, which is only right, because if after a certain number o

Commercials

I am going to say the first thing currently on my mind: My right index finger hurts! While cleaning up my room today... Actually, I had already finished cleaning by that time (although at the moment, there're still a few things that need to be picked up and put away); my sister and I were sorting through our sticker box. There was a small container with a few stickers in it, so I attempted to open it using that finger. And I had cut my nails only a few days ago! It began hurting a few hours afterward. And then tying waterballoons a while after didn't help, either. We decided to do the water balloon fight today at four, and it took us an hour and a half to actually make them. The first balloon took me almost ten minutes to tie! And...yeah. It was fun. Haha, today I whimsically CLEANED my room. Well, the desk, more of. I used alcohol to wipe down the desk by my bed. And then we cleaned the window, as well. Just because our mom has been bugging us to clean our room for the past tw

Very Here and Extremely Bored

Currently 11:23 A.M., at the East Los Angeles Skills Center because I felt like coming here. Initially. I am never coming again! At least, not for a few weeeks. It's so boring; there's absolutely nothing interesting to do, no interesting people from last summer to reconnect with. Not really like I want to reconnect with them, though. Anyway, I've been helping the teacher with stuff for the past few hours, and now I am done. Been done for a while, really. I am incredibly sleepy right now, because I fell asleep last night at 12:40 or so, and then I woke up at 4:20 and couldn't fall back asleep! Then I lay in bed awake for like, over an hour, thinking of all the things I need to do today and tomorrow. I seriously need to find my student ID from ninth grade. Evidently, I lost it a few days ago. Possibly a few weeks ago. Who knows? See, this year's student ID, I lost while walking along the street, most likely. Last year's, apparently, I've lost at home. I've

My Love Will Get You Home

No, it really won't. I just thought I'd utilize that, since it's kind of stuck in my head. Last night I went to sleep at midnight-ish. I couldn't fall asleep for the longest time, though! I kept tossing and turning, and by 1 A.M., I decided to just turn on the lamp and write something to make myself fall asleep. After about half an hour of writing some nonsensical lines and paragraphs, I finally turned off the lamp and fell asleep a few minutes thereafter. Then at 5:47 I awoke and instead of getting myself to fall back asleep, I began to write. What was it...? No, wait. I got my yearbook out from under my bed, read all the comments written in it, and then began to write a letter to myself to be read by none other than myself in the future, whenever that may turn out to be. I did that only because a certain yearbook signer suggested it. At first I had no clue how to begin it, because it's not everyday that I write a letter to myself. About two minutes into it, I got
