It's finally winter break, but it took a whole lot to get us here. The past like 3 weeks have been pretty relentless. here's what i haven't written about:
wednesday:
it was the freshman winter dance! and, it was FREEZING and rainy -.-
me, kevin and brandon worked the entrance table, we had to get the 9th graders' i.d.'s and all that. it wasnt fun sitting in front of the cafeteria door and having that cold wind blast us. the rest of the dance was pretty sweet though
other than this one 9th grader coming up to me and first not knowing whether he wants to even enter or not, and when he does, he keeps complaining to me that he's not having fun AND that he can't get a teacher to dance with him. oh, and that he wanted me to get everyone to dance and to dance myself.
seriously, what the FUCK am i supposed to do?? and why did he keep bugging ME??
it wasn't all bad, though, there were tons of fun parts. i had fun messing around with the rest of the link crew people, but what REALLY stood out had to be Kevin's bboying.
there was this circle of 9th grade breakers, and kevin kept looking over there and getting mad, so me, amy, and i think brandon dragged him over there and pushed him into the circle..
that's when kevin went in, and did a set that just totally killed everyone! the whole crowd went "OHHH!"
kevin truly saved the dance. after he left, everyone started to dance.
then a pretty funny thing happened-- this girl came out of nowhere and dragged me out onto the dance floor with jaddis and marifel's help. ahhh i didn't really do that kind of dancing, she was grinding or whatever its called lol so i just sort of did my best to stick with her. jenn came out of nowhere and put my hand on her hip and yeah. it was prettty embarassing, ALL the 9th graders and link crew stopped to watch. oh, and kevin was yelling "THATS MY BOYYYY!!"
she did the same thing to kevin, too! haha i have both of us dancing with her on video. not that i ever want to see myself dancing like that again! ahahha, well, yes i do, especially with a girl i like =]
she was nice though!
Thursday:
i cut my hair! its VERY short now. well, for me it is. aha. you can really see my jaw and everything. i kept my bangs just as long, just cut the side hair out and thinned it out.
i also bought this black and gray striped cardigan. i really do like striped things.
finally, today!
Friday:
Morning:
I woke up, and my ears were freeezingggg. i thought getting my haircut was a dream at first. haha
I met up with jakrin and celine at denny's, freeloaded some pancakes and RAN straight to school.
1st period:
i was late, but it didnt matter. only like 4 people were in class.
i kicked brandon's ass in dissidia: FF. except, when he switched to onion knight. but then i quickly adapted to that fighting style and omnislashed him to death with cloud =3
2nd period:
i spent all day working on jakrin's present for secret santa.
Lunch:
it was so lonely. it was just me, brandon and edy.
3rd period:
lever had food, but i didnt eat.. i brought edy though, and he complained about the horrid smell, which was normal to me by then
jakrin, celine and kevin showed up! and we traded gifts! jakrin made me a robot out of wood and i made jakrin a shonen jump comic with some fake yugioh cards included =3
then i got beat by richard in chess =.=
oh! genesis gave me a clue regarding my secret admirer! he said the note had come from someone who sits to the left of me! he had seen the girl drop the paper on craig's desk, and since it said it was for me, craig passed it to me.
weird though, because craig said it was from the girl who sits ACROSS from me, who then said it was from "the left" idk if she meant mine or hers. w/e though. its not like i can do anything about it anyway.
After school:
kevin gave damien a basket of fruit, except, hidden in one of the bananna peels was a clay model of a penis.
pretty hilarious, watching him open it =]
Hope my break goes well, and yours too. =]

Link Crew and an Aria on a Rainy Day [12/15/08]
what a week. well, what a past TWO weeks. its been almost continuous!
Last time since i've written:
Saturday:
the HIPP conference for music... there goes my saturday -.- we were there from 9am to 4:30pm!
adrian asks this question that totally destroys cathers' presentation! lmfao.
then he started passing out tests for everyone to do -.-
Sunday:
Whatta day... Airsoft in the morning in the canyons, then RIGHT after, with the exception of a quick shower and change of clothes, I went to a banquet with kevin and his brother thrown by his church.
oh mannnn there were so many pretty korean girls, hahaa. all too old though xDDD
the funny thing is, the girl in front of me kept smiling and staring at me which, normally, i don't think twice about. but then it got weird.
she stared at me while i was outside, then a million times when i was sitting, [i even told kevin and we laughed, counting each time she did it]
it was horrible!! i mean, not that she was staring at me, but the fact that she was with her boyfriend, AND she had her baby with her! she couldnt have been more than 3 or 4 years older than me though.
anyway, i just felt really bad for the boyfriend. i mean, there was a moment where she leaned over to kiss him on the cheek and she stared at me while she did it! then before she left, as she went out the door i tell kevin, "watch shes gonna do it again" and wouldnt you know it, she turns and looks at me one more time before leaving. she even smiled. it was pretty funny
okay and finally, today!
1st period: lame. they gave the parts to new people. the new cast SUCKS.
2nd period: yip gave us some much needed time for our project, however he assigned ANOTHER one. -.-
Lunch: we went to the link crew meeting, and helped with the freshman winter dance. we had to pass out flyers for it, and make announcements for it in classes. it was cool though, i saw alvin and summer in one of them.
lmao, on the way to one of the classes my "neighbor" calls me over. it turns out he's helping with the yearbook! he asked me if i could be in a picture for it, and i did. lmao. i opened up my umbrella and pretended to shiverr. i looked so lame, i hope they dont put it up. xDD
We had to stay and help with link crew during 3rd period.
3rd period: We were still helping with link crew! brandon and i sorta, well, more like sat and watched everyone make posters.
i drew a tree, which jenn took a picture of and said she was gonna tag me on it on myspace.

Death and Kevin's PSP [12/09/08]
I'm right now taking a break from working on an extremely labor intensive and tedious photoshop project. i would have loved to work on it early on in the day, say 1 o'clock on account of my first actual early day in about 3 weeks, but stuff got in the way.
heres what you missed since my last post:
12/08:
My mom's birthday. we had pizza and watched Stepbrothers. Hilarious.
This day was also the day of the blood drive. -.-
I spent all of 2nd, lunch and half of 3rd waiting for my turn to give blood...
all for nothing! T~T
they couldn't find a vein! i mean, how is that possible? ughhhh. it was really embarassing.
hopefully, ill have better luck this spring.
Today:
1st Period:
I play Reverend Hale in the Crucible. Well, its more like a script reading. I've been waiting for forever to read!
2nd Period:
Someone stole my flash drive, thus destroying my entire Photo Gallery project which I've worked on for almost a week.
err, more like I left it there and someone just took it. -.- whatta bad week so far.
Lunch:
CSF meeting, which ended up ending short. everyone but the officers got kicked out. i'm supposed to be one, you know. i spent lunch playing Metal Gear on my cell phone and reading Love Hina. It's the first time I read it, I dont really get it.
3rd Period:
Typical grotesque 3rd period... except a couple of things.
The first thing, so sad. Kevin's PSP is now in a better place. It was dropped from a measly 2 feet and the screen totally split in half. Fantastic timing, seeing as how Dissidia Final Fantasy is coming out next week...
R.I.P Kevin's PSP.
The other thing that was really interesting, was, while my back was turned, examining Kevin's cadaver of a PSP, someone put a note on my desk.
I turn around, and suddenly there's this note from my "Secret Admirer". I won't tell you what it said, but it sounded really nice. At first I thought maybe Craig, the guy who sits next to me, was in on it like it was a prank, but the writing is definitely a girl's. I'm still unsure if it was a prank or not.
I asked around if they had seen who passed it, but I don't understand. See if you can:
I ask Craig if he saw who passed it, cause he sits next to me. So he points across from us, where all the asian girls sit, but it seemed to me like he was pointing at this one girl [not asian].
so i ask her, after class if she was the one who passed it, and i guess she said yes. it wasn't from her, but she passed it. she said it might have come from to the left side. but there arent any girls from that side. lmfao. then after i ask her about it again she denies even having passed it in the first place
then i ask amy, since she sits across from me and sees everything in the direction i'm in if she saw anything and she said no!
how could she not see anything???
the whole class seems in on keeping it a secret from me who passed it.
i know its probably no big deal but i think its kind of exciting.
i wonder who it is??
Home:
So I'm totally looking forward to starting on the project, the christmas design for lever's door, when right when I walk into the kitchen where the computer is, my sister and some kinda tall korean girl has some weird t-shirt making set up going.
it was really awkward, so i tried to get some pizza and hide out in my room until she left.
the thing is, it took a REALLY long time. i even fell asleep for 3 hours.
i heard voices in my room i think, in my sleep, so im a little worried they came in and saw my horrible mess of a room, along with me drooling on my pillow or something.
waiting for her to leave took a huge chunk out of my work time.
anyways thats where i am now, working on this tiring project. and thats where im about to go back after finishing this.
still, i wonder who the girl from 3rd period is?

A nothing kinda day [12/1/08]
so its been a while since ive blogged! but i guess i should fill whoever itis reading this in and all.
basically, alot of shits, cool shits, have happened but most of it i cant tell you about.
its nothing illegal, mostly,
but today i can tell you about:
1st period:
i took my usual nap, and during that time, i guess my backpack was wide open. at that time, as edy tried to point out jack's cholo shoes [theyre cortez's. YOU would think that's weird if you knew jack.] anyways, as he did this, the girl that sits next to me thought he pointed to my backpack, which was open. the other girl next to me then got the awesome idea to drop a tampon in there for fun, and to the approval of the ENTIRE class, [while my head was down] she did.
at the end of the period, as im packing up i notice a longish unopened package. i pick it up, thinking maybe i brought candy or something and forgot when suddenly the girl says, "oh, i must have dropped my tampon."
then during mr. mendelsohn's lecture i throw it and yell, "OH MY GOD"
and mr. mendelsohn stops, asks me if im alright.
i get so embarassed i just stick my head down for awhile.
2nd period:
im falling sorta behind in yips class. dumb camera. if it wasnt for sharon id be sooo screwed =3
i told kevin about jack's cortezes and he said something so extreme we both forgot.
lunch:
everyone clowned on jack and his cortezes! i hope he doesnt feel bad about it. >.>
3rd period:
we talked about brock lesner, and it was hilarious. its always hilarious =]
i was listening to my mp3 player and Every Heart by BoA came on, and i started singing it to Amy across from me and she just got mad and called me a loser =P
well, she flashed the "L" sign, so it could also be love, right?
lmao, i don't think so either =]
4th period:
i got alot done! i schooled adrian at the top 70 for biology. i really have no hope for the team.
but we have such cool people. we all clowned on evelyn's mom.
etc.
it rained last week. im beginning to like the rain! but only when i have an umbrella.

is life really that hard?
sigh.
something bad happens, and thats what i'd do. then i'd think, "what can i do?" then, of those things, i pick what do, then do it.
disregard lethargy, disregard emotion, disregard context.
if logically, pragmatically, it makes sense, its what you should do, and just follow through.
decide on a course, and follow through
its a sort of code i've tried to live by, i remember i got it off a japanese cartoon.
it was about giant fighting robots. and there was this boy, who was a pilot of one of them. he was in the middle of a war conflicted on what to do next. so what does his perfect pink haired girlfriend tell him? decide on a course and follow through. i was captivated ever since.
life is just so simple, now. i am lazy, but an essay is due. so what needs to be done? an essay. what do i do? the essay.
disregard emotion. disregard lethargy, escapism, and rationalizations, which are dangerous.
all there is is the task.
beware of rationalization-- the ultimate nemesis of the pragmatist-- rationalizations are sweet delusions that you allow to trick you into picking the most convenient yet unbeneficial way. then you find yourself in a hole, maybe because you wanted to be in one, for fun, or drama's sake, i dont know. that sickens me.
then there's the subject of complicated decisions.
just simplify.
are you in love? are you in love with two people?
you just ask yourself, considering the consequences, or not considering the consequences, what do you want?
then you just do it.
if you can't do it, then don't.
it's. so. easy.
i'm not sick-- but i don't understand-- or maybe i am sick-- i don't understand how people can so easily be overwhelmed or be so easy to rationalize.
its the quintissential way to live life, the way you want to.
what do you want? what do you need? what is the logical path, the utilitarian path, what is the most good you can do? the most logical choice of action, that benefits you the most.
what needs to be done for these things to happen?
then just do them. one step at a time.
you and i are the main characters to our lives, but we are nothing in the world. no one will care what you are going through, or why you are falling behind--
you can stop, rationalize complacency in mediocracy or even less than that-- die nobly, a martyr in your own eyes
but the world still sees you are mediocre and accomplished nothing.
there will be no consideration of how unfortunate and dramatic your life was, there will be no dramatic music, no scene of you, standing nobly at a cliff's edge while the wind blows at your back and the leaves swirl around you-- all there will be is you left behind.
what is best for you?
decide on a course and follow through.

homecoming game [10/25/08]
today was pretty good. i needed it to be good-- yesterday wasn't a very good day. my blue glasses broke!!
but today, it started out pretty average.
at lunch though, i bought my ticket for homecoming [yes im going!] and all that
on the way home from school, kevin and I were walking, and suddenly this lady comes out of her house and yells to these two old people in a car:
"TELL YOUR DAUGHTER TO STOP SUCKING DICK IN THE STREET OR ILL CALL THE COPSS!!!!"
the two old people just shrugged.
then we bumped into amy, who made us wait for her mom with her. i'm really too nice to her, she doesn't deserve it =P
then in front of my apartment, with TK, lauren, kevin, and uhh some guy, we thought of funny things to do with corn.
but the highlight of the day had to be the homecoming game!
it was so close! we were tied almost the whole game... for once the crowd was loud and cheering their hearts out for verdugo, just like the good old days.
but grant scored a touchdown really late in the game... it really broke all our hearts, but we didn't give up hope--
well, my group didnt anyway. a bunch of people in front of us started to leave and i just got mad and yelled, with my voice almost totally gone, "Why are you leaving!?? There's still time on the clock left!" and then I yelled, "Don't give up!!"
and then behind me, martin yelled it too. and suddenly we started chanting, "Don't give up! Don't give up!" and then the band joined in, the rest of the crowd joined in.
for a few beautiful seconds the crowd and the football team were almost fighting together, everyone was doing their part for the school
it was just so nice seeing everyone, standing up and hoping for the same nice thing to happen, just a simple wish that verdugo wins-- i was sorta tearing up really. it had been so long since the school showed that kind of spirit. i was just really happy to be part of something like that
thats why it didnt matter to me so much that we lost. it was the most fun game i've been to, even from the ones we've won. the players played their hearts out, and the cheerleaders and fans cheered their hearts out-- i've totally lost my voice and proud of it.
i still got that dons pride =]
oh jeez, homecoming tomorrow.. i wonder how it'll be?? TK brought me a blazer that fits, he saved my life. i really wouldnt be caught dead in that monkey suit with the giant shoulder pads my cousin let me borrow. i'd look like a little kid pretending to be a grownup..

AcaDeca Field Trip
So today was AcaDeca's field trip to the Civic Center in Bakersfield.
It was awesome! It was a day of doing absolutely nothing, I loved it.
The whole point in going there was to watch a live orchestra of these songs we've been studying for the competition-- and seriously, they were all 1000 times better live than on the CD.
Except for the brand new cha cha, which the singer sort of ruined, and aria.
aria is an opera song, it's so sad, and thought provoking. even though i didnt find it as good live, i was still really fixated by it. i was so into the song.
but brandon and kevin poking each other and writing lewd things brought me crashing back to earth. sadly i was sitting between them XD
but without them it would have been soooo boring. we were the rowdiest and coolest group there no doubt =]
today i also submitted my scary story to mr. reimer. i hope i did well! i was suprised he remembered me. i was in yesterday to ask him about the word limit. i hate word limits....
and shit, homecoming is coming up. ahhhhh should i go??? its ALOT of money!! =/

i'm an obama.... papa?
i really love discussing politics in class.
especially when that ONE guy who has the WORST arguments in the world speaks up.
it gives me a chance to practice my rhetoric with. really. i mean, i really have to give him credit though, for having a different opinion in a sea of people with opposite opinions, and going toe to toe with the sub on politics.
also i have to condemn the sub for calling mr. mccain a "bad soldier" and all that. the man is a hero, and personally i was completely insulted, myself, when he said "sure, being a POW 'sucks'"
being a POW sucks.
i'm 100% for obama but disrespect like that is completely unnecessary. the man was tortured for what? four years? and when he gets his chance to go home, he refuses and demands that the prisoners captured before him be sent home first. it really is incredible, and i have the utmost respect for him
that's why i have to applaud mr. mccain for talking down all the lather mouthed hicks he's fired up with accusations of obama being a terrorist and what not .
when i see REAL people on t.v. say, on the microphone, in front of thousands of people in a tent or MILLIONS on a t.v. say something completely ridiculous like, "im afraid of obama because he is an arab", it depresses and sickens me. i despise ignorant people like that.
i dont understand how people can be so uninformed, or so content to fatten themselves up with unfounded and ridiculous assumptions. its something so alien to me; that people can hear one thing and accept it, unquestioningly. its also a little bit scary.

today, after third at the student store, i was telling a friend how i couldn't go to homecoming on a count of i don't have a date
so another friend [jokingly] started asking random people if they wanted to go with me.
it was pretty crude, really. it was funny though, i guess.
also, i'm getting annoyed with all these vulgarities and boyish displays of manliness, but i guess thats part of being a teenage boy?
still, i'd like to go a day without hearing "fuck" or "cock", or someone laughing at adjectives like "big" or "long" or "little", or getting slapped or something while everyone else is trying to be serious.
i mean, i definitely don't want anyone to change who they are but when its at the point where i'm doing something like giving advice or asking if they did the homework or something and i just get "fuck you, you fucking cock" or "fucking bitch do you wanna fight?" or "you my bitch" its just a bit too much. i mean, can we not talk like normal people without extreme vulgarity like that? is it just not possible anymore?
i get its a joke and everything, but it makes it hard to talk to people, and it just isnt pleasant. it makes it hard for me to enjoy conversation.
although i think on some level i must just deserve it though.
