black friday mania.

i woke up around 8-ish in the morn' and everyone was gone, except for my sister. grr i was so mad, i wanted to be part of that crazy mess :/ dang my brother's like a total freak when it comes to these sales. i heard he rammed a cart into an old lady that tried taking our tv. wow...the things people do to get what they want. but his craziness paid off (: we got a new tv for thee living room. flat screen & everythang! i guess there's always next year though. heck, i think i'll go shopping tomorrow. i'm sure there are still a stores having weekend sales (:

so i had seafood for dinner tonight! (:
good stuff, not so good service though. every five minutes there'd be some chinese dude standing over me asking me 'switch plate? switch plate?' in a reaaally asiany accent. you'd think they'd leave you alone when you're in the middle of a spoonful of food, but noooo.
i think my uncle spent like 200-ish today?
ahhh, i'm freaking stuffed from all that dang seafood!

alright, i'm gonna rest up for some saturday shopping with pauline tomorrow [unless she bails on me >.<]

Mmmm,

I love waking up to the sweet smell of turkey roasting in the oven!
hah I slept like 17 hours straight last night. Jeez, me and my crazy naps.
my brother's been up and about all morning on a fry's blackfriday sales hunt. i'm thinking about going with him tonight/tomorrow morning, but man... those people can get PRETTY DARN scary. i doubt the little push & shove method will work with those crazed greedy peeps. but it'll be worth it if i get my ipod touch! (: So i'm bracing myself for all that food today. First a little turkey & thanksgiving goodies with the fam for lu-nner, then off to a family friend's casa who no doubt is gonna make us eat more stuff, then off to a huge family get together on my mom's side at some seafood place. the joy of thanksgiving, right?

it's raining! <3

stating the obvious, right? but i love it.
well, i'm not the type that likes to jump into puddles and catch a cold, but i just love that sweet smell of rain. It's finally feeling like winter. I love this time of the year when I get to wear my warm comfy pjs, wrap myself inside my blanket, and sip hot cocoa. Then there are those occasional days when it's just me and my sister & we talk about the craziest shiz. It's these moments that make me regret wanting to strangle her all those times.

It seems like everyone's in the 'i want to leave oxford' phase at the moment. I mean, i think about it alot too... but really guys? Some people probably would be better off at a different school, & it might even be better for all of us if they left... but as for the rest of us... we can at least TRY to stick it out a little longer, right?

hah.

So i got home at like 3:30-ish yesterday and decided to take a little nap... except my little nap turned out to go on 'til about 10? man, i love fridays! (: Ah freaking kelly. I WILL get you back.... someday...soon & you'll never expect it. MUAHAHA ! but i'm pretty sure you're gonna read this sooo .. just kidding! i still love you <321. My oh my PSAT's [pre? SUCK @SS TESTS] SUCK. Thank goodness it's done and over with (:

Shopping shopping shopping! Grr, I still need to my butt out there & buy you kids your gifts for the holidays, but I don't wanna go alone :/ Anyone wanna do their christmas shopping with me? & if you're in choir we can do our disco/christmas shopping, too. A two-in-one type of thing (: We'll try on like everything & be camwhores the whole day...& when we're done we can plop down for some ice cream or something.

Gaddang... after like two freaking weeks i'm finally in a good mood again.
Don't ruin it, please&thankyou.

restless.

It's one something AM & i still can't fall asleep, not cuz i have homework or anything. i hate that feeling you get when you're so tired that you can't even fall asleep anymore. i guess overtired is the word i'm looking for. I'm pretty sure i hear a flute playing right now, which is kinda sorta freaking the heck out of me. Then again, it's one something in the mornin'... i could be hallucinating. It kinda reminds me of those horror films where you hear that creepy music then some scary thing pops out of nowhere and kills you. I'm getting the chills just thinking about it. Gaddang i wish they'd stop...
Well, I better get to bed. Health quiz & english presentions tomorrow :0 On the other hand, it's finally fridaaay! Hopefully today goes well.

-night!<321 [or...morning?]

Soccer's like the scariest freaking sport ever man! Well, after football and hockey that is. 13 goals, thanks to tyler. [well ibraham scored one of them] I felt like a goal post, the way that ball kept hitting me. It's scaaary how into it some people get when they hit the field. You see a whole different side to them. I'm sure I looked pretty hilarious out there, but I still had fun (: Kelly's one tough cookie man. She dived right in there while i stood there trying to dodge that thing from knocking me out. & Annah, well, she's the craziest kid ever man, talking about boobs and laughing our butts off while we spend 1234567890 minutes setting up the field and stalling to avoid those stinkin' fitness cards. As for the rest of the day? It wasn't great, but it went better than I thought it would. Levoit just had to give us a lecture on grades and crap during cluster... man i really need to get my grades before semester ends. Then off to the writing conference with Erickson. It actually wasn't as horrific as I thought it was going to be. Ahhh, I gotta stop overthinking things & learn to just go with the flow.

So yoshi and I finally had a real conversation again after like a million years. I absolutely love her! & you definitely deserve better than... that. He's not worth this girl, and you know it.

&& the little project pauline & I are working on is pretty close to finished.
i'd say we're about three-fourths of the way through?
i think we might actually finish it this time.
yeee! : D

Thanks to those stinkin' fires, i've been trapped inside the house all daaay long. Gaaddang i was looking forward to going out & about with mah girrls this weekend too! I guess there's always next weekend though. I really feel bad for all those people that lost their homes. :/ I can't imagine stepping out of my house and just a few hours later, it's burned down in ashes and debris. But today wasn't totally horrible...actually it wasn't horrible at all. I got some time to myself to just relax. It seems like it's been years since i've been able to do that. For the last couple of hours i've just been sitting on my bed listening to some good old music & singing along at the top of my lungs. I love that feeling... just being able to forget the rest of the world and not worry about anything for a few hours. My sister was the only one home and probably thought I was going crazy or something with all that screeching, but whatever.

I've been doing some thinking and i don't even know why i'm letting whatever it is that's getting to me... get to me. I think it's about time I go back to my old ways of dealing with this kinda stuff & just not care about it anymore.

Man, i swear christmas is coming earlier each year. All that christmas stuff was already in stores before halloween. Soon we'll be decorating trees in summer. I need to start my christmas shopping like... SOON. I'm thinking of going down to dtla sometime... anyone wanna come with?

new quarter, new goals.

Sometimes i wish we could just go through life without making those stupid mistakes along the way. True, it's the only real way to learn... so i guess stupid isn't really the word i'm looking for. But why does the process have to be so unpleasant? & being the stupid and gullible person that i am, I tend to let myself make these mistakes quite a few times before i finally learn. I guess i'm just a slow learner in life.aaah, am i on my way of making another one? eeeesh, so many decisions to make these days.

Anyway, my quarter grades are just... wow. I really need to work on that this upcoming quarter. Every time grades come out i end up saying this, but this time i hope i actually pull it off. The other day Erickson was talking about "really concentrating on homework and not just flipping back and forth from aim" & immediately a few people turned and looked at me. I guess i do spend too much time on aim. My new goal is to seriously start cutting off my time on aim BUT i don't think that'll last very long :/ That little red icon thingy is just so tempting to click on... >.<>

confused.

you know, just when i thought i had finally figured things out...BAM!
& now, well now...i'm just confused all over again.
it's so weird how things can shift from one case to a totally different thing with one conversation. a TOTALLY different thing. thanks for telling me NOW of all times you could've before...
bad timing much?
then i have those friends that have always been there for me to talk and vent to, and it sucks so much that i can't tell them about this.
it's like i'm back at square one, and i hate it.

the odyssey.

I understand the purpose of learning our history, but why the heeeo do we need to learn Greek Mythology? There's a reason why they're called myths - no one knows if these things really happened... & yet, poor kids like us are forced to learn about this dude that [might have?] existed? Weird twisted poems, nasty marriages within the family, & a bunch of stuff i can care less about. gaaaddang >.<>

So i have a busy busy schedule ahead of me [well kinda sorta]
This friday, MORP! too bad i'm can't make it though...
An almost full day reserved for some D.A.D.A.A bonding time; bowling & movie night. No boys & definitely no worries. Boy oh boy do we have some catching up to do.
Saturday - HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO LAUREN MARI REED. party hardy & a slumber without sleep [hopefully i can go]
Sunday? - shopping with kelly & people (:

Hopefully this packed weekend will keep my mind off of things for a while.
