School's calmed down and English is less of a hell than it was. It actually turns out we don't DO anything o_O seriously...he just goes off on talks and rants a lot. And our "essays" he doesn't even read them, he just checks them and says later we'll go back and edit them and what not. Problem with that is that I need help with essay writing NOW seeing as I'll be taking the SAT in the spring. My teacher also decided to make me his personal assistant; I came into class and all the seats were taken so he points to a desk by the door and near his door. During class I'm supposed to alphabetize, pass out, and hand back papers @.@ I even have a stupid piece of paper set up like a little secretary name plate on my desk. This guy has issues. Luckily I only have to do this until Friday and then it's someone else's turn (THANK GOODNESS!)
I went to my friend Amy's house for the first time Saturday, she's the bomb and her family is SO COOL. They're Korean and even though it's so different than Japanese I feel almost like I get a bit of a feel of what it's like to be an exchange student (lol jk Amy) it's so awesome! I was really nervous because I didn't want to make any foux pas on my first visit, Amy even had to remind me to take off my shoes in the house!! (that was embarrasing cause I already do that at my house) But her parents are so nice, her mom called me 'Tinkerbell' and her dad said "I'm Peter Pan!" I laughed so hard. That was the best sleepover I've had in a long time (aside from visiting Maygen of course :3) Amy got me addicted to Big Bang, a Korean boy band that RULESSS OMG G-D I <3 U! "Come on, Come on!" ahahaha I know you guys probably don't know what any of that means but still :D I tried Milkis for the first time and got addicted to those too, it's carbonated water, milk, sugar, and flavors (this may sound disgusting but it's TOTALLY NOT I thought it sounded bad to but it doesn't taste like it sounds at alllll omg it's amazing!!! I'm craving one now *__*) We ended up staying up until 5 watching いま、会いにゆきます (Ima, ai ni yukimasu...english= "I'm coming to see you now") which I TOTALLY recommend, it's so sweet and sad but good and I love it! And we watched clips from Big Bang concerts.
I like typing in Japanese :D
I'm getting tired now -_-; お休みなさい!( oyasumi nasai, good night!)

DIE, SCHOOL!

mood:
frustrated
I only have one AP class but already I'm stressing out like mad. AP US History (APUSH) seems really easy so far, but I know it will get harder. Chemistry is so relaxed, laid-back and awesome, my teacher rules. But my life in a WRECK (try as I much to hide how stressed I am, I have to vent) all because of Honors English 11.
First day of school: 3 essays, one on each book we had to read over the summer. The next day, the summer reading test (and somehow we were supposed to just KNOW that we had to know the publication dates of the books >.> f that) then our english teacher (who apperantly is legally allowed to smoke pot) gives us TONS of friggin busy work!!!! About six pages of "copy the sentance and correct the grammar" exercises which we never get past the first page. Then for homework over Labor Day weekend (in which I planned to relax and do some sewing pffft)
he gives us an outline sheet for each of our summer reading books, 30 vocab words with 2 sentances each to have done and memorized by Wednesday, and a 2 page essay on who we think the protagonist of Native Son is (I hate that book I hate that book omg I freaking hate that damn book...personally I don't think there is a protagonist >.>) mind you I don't have much homework in other classes yet but if this is how it's going to be at the beginning, I may have to simply give up any social/fun life, including my dance classes I just started.
I think one of the worst things about my teacher is that he singles people out. He had us write a "journal" on what we want to do differently this year than last year, and when we turned them in he started reading parts of them OUT LOUD. One girl's he read was about how she didn't want to argue with her parents as much and she was so embarrased, Thank God he didn't get to mine.
I want to get switched out, but there are no more schedule changes allowed anymore plus I don't think I'll have it any easier in any other Honors class. My brother told me he had 50 to 60 words a week when he was a junior, but still, this is insane. I know I need to prepare for the SAT but I don't want to be completely overwhelmed either.
My hand hurts now and if I keep typing about english you'll have a novel on your friends page.

this.song.RUULLLEESSSS omg i love it so much and the dance, omg the dance is SOOOOO fun!! *squeeeeeeeee* XD
my brother is moving out to go live at college this weekend. im really going to miss him. ._. and to think we always fought. i got him an apartment-warming gift, i hope he likes it; a poster of the Joker from Dark Knight and it says "Why So Serious"
he got a new laptop so he gave me his old one, im so happy! but then the day I first had it I was putting my music on it and it shut down...>.> it needs a new battery and AC charger, it's all messed up. I break too many things! =O
I'm still going back and forth about going to Nekocon. I want to go but I REFUSE repeat REFUSE to stay in ONE hotel room with 8 PEOPLE there is no friggin way. i would go crazy seriously. it's not that i dont love my buddies, but that's just to many in one room for me. hmm... what else....
ah! I bought a dress from someone on egl_comm_sales and it should get here next week maybe?
you guys may kill me because it's MOMO's Handicrafts but hey, it was cute, cheap, my style and measurements; all the requirements of a lolita on a budget (at least by my standards) and i did a lot of review reading before i bought it, people said if you order directly from MOMO's that it's suicide trying to get your item, that it takes months, but that their quality is getting a lot better and people are satisfied with the work.
in the wonderful happiness that i finally have a OP with good sleeves (detatchable) send me on a sewing frenzy and I sewed my first headbow. I tried to follow the directions to make the Alice Headbow from Eng. GLB 1, but it was WAY too confusing so I just sewed a rectangle, put lact on, and gathered it in the middle. Unfortunatly, the measurements given in the turtorial I used are soo big for my head....talk about head eating bow, it's more like head DEVOURING bow O_o Ashia said i look like minny mouse -_-;
my dad went and bought me this 850 some page SAT practice book >.> (I say it makes a good door-stop) he really wants me to do well but he's making me worry more about taking it.
signing off!

Pizza Hut...WTF?

pissed off

Srsly! >=O
We wanted to get pizza for dinner and we would all MUCH rather have Pie Works, but it's more expensive so we went to pizza hut like normal. My first "arg" was that they had taken the salad bar away....no more free go-get-it-as-you-please ranch for my pizza. While we were waiting for the food, the jukebox started playing RAP MUSIC O_O the juke box in there will automatically play music and my mom and I had pretty much decided they program the most annoying songs so that you put your money in to change to song, lol. Then while we were eating some song "The Ballad of the Green Barret" came on and I was lmao'ing. My dad told my mom that if she could tell him the name of the singer he would stand on the table and yodell, so I ran over to the machine and read the name out laughing (he didn't yodel >.>)
So, what has me so mad? Normally they have this deal where if you get one large pizza you get a medium for $8, saving monies. We ordered a large and a medium along with 4 adult drinks and a childs drink. Our bill total? $50!!!!!!! >:O for the love of! We could have eaten Pie Works (much better taste, quality, and no where near as much grease) for cheeper!!!
I'm ticked.

First day in Tampa
Jul. 6th, 2008 | 06:29 pm
mood:
moody
I'm here finally! It was a loooooooooooong car ride though, adding in all the pit stops and what not it took us about 13 hours >.> Luckily I slept most of the time. We stopped in St. Augustine for about and hour to look at the fort and what not, so of course I have pics.
I'm not used to Florida humidity, it's worse than home by far. On top of that I didn't drink anything because I didn't want to make us stop for bathroom breaks more often than absolutly neccesary. After hanging around the Fort for a while, I ended up a little dehydrated...it wasn't fun then.
But for a 13 hour car ride with 3 boys and a dog...I think I'm ready to take on anything life throws at me :)......except that cellphone Maygen just threw at my back.... (thanks Maygen)
I never knew laying around made you so sleepy 0.0 I slept a lot and then when we got to Tampa, I fell asleep. Maybe I'm no longer a Gaara and have become a Stark? HELL YEA!....wait...no...hmmm :/
Today I decided to go out in Lolita (my lil panda one)...bad idea lol. Maygen's family isn't used to my crazy ways hehehe her mom reminded me we were going to the grocery store, not church. Her dad....scared me...."What is that?! What are you wearing?" etc And then her youngest brother asked "why is she wearing a dress?" and the other said "why are you dressed like that?" but I got the same usual stares from complete strangers so it was worth it :D
To be honest, it made me really depressed. I couldn't smile really and now...I'm worried to wear Lolita around any of the family other than Maygen. It just made me super uncomfortable and sad...lolita usually helps me feel better about my self but today it just made me want to go back home....I've been feeling kinda homesick ever since.
anyway, We had to rush back home though because we were going house hunting...kinda tiring and once again, I kept falling asleep in the car. But boy, Maygen was right about storms. It's been raining all night and all the time I keep seeing lightning and it's really weird seeing as I haven't seen rain in months.
Tonight was Maygen's brother's birthday so we went to a Chinese buffet
I don't know how many times I'll be able to be on, Maygen says the daily storms tend to knock out the internet a lot.
Bye for now!

music: Anataboshi: Milky Way
After a while I took my niece into the frog maze thing, that was fun and she knew the way for the most part which was cute to watch. She and her mom went to play in the kids room and my mom, brother and I stayed with the puzzles trying to solve every single one (except that one stupid one >.>) Ashia and I agreed it would be awesome if I went into the maze to one of the dead ends and just started dancing randomly....so I did! ^^ I did some Berryz Koubou and MoMusu dances and part of Anataboshi. Unfortunatly no kids came in the maze during that time, so I didn't get any stares >.> *attention whore* <----lol
About 2 hours later we went out to the see all the animals and pet them, omg I could have petted the Ferrets, Guinea Pigs, and Alpacas all day *_* the Alpacas were so funny, one kept getting close to me and I would go to pet him but he would put his face right near minea and I would get scared and do this stupid little girly scream x3 lolz. But after the Meir Cats (sp?) I was tired of being outside and wanted to go home. We stayed there about another hour I guess or more and my niece hadn't had a nap so she was cranky and I think we all wanted to go home, but we stayed there until it closed. When I got home, I fell asleep xP
OMFG there's a cute lil squirrel outside the window!!! *squeeee* he's hanging onto the wire of the fence with his front paws like he's trying not to fly away cause it's windy :3 kawaii <3
I cut the rant to save some space on your friends page.

School's Out!
Jun. 11th, 2008 | 03:59 pm
music: Koi no Fuga : W
Tuesday my mom french braided my hair (since it was about 100 degrees again) And I kept it up like that all day and night, until laaate that night. I wanted to see what my hair looked like crimped but not frizzed. So I took some pics of befores and afters
I currently owe my mom about $30 ._.; we went to Michael's the other day (I love that store I want to LIVE there o_o) and bought supplies to make "NC EGL" team shirts for me and minty_alice and Andrea. The supplies all together costed about $30 and I also bought 3 pairs of flipflops to decorate for the summer in honor of my top 3 fave anime men (link to those below) which made the total cost about $13. I only had $20 at the time and she paid for it for me, in return, I'm a stablehand ^^; as soon as the weather gets a little cooler, I get to clean Snicker's stall, clean all our tack, brush all 4 horses clean, and anything else she finds that she needs done. It's not hard work, and I'm very happy that it's work with the horses, I just wish it wasn't so hot outside. I payed off a little of what I originally owed yesterday by spending 2 hours helping mom stack haybales into the back of the truck in 100 degree weather and unload them, as well as being her driver today (look out, I'm on the road!) and anything else needed.
I'm not trying to suck up to her, but maybe if I do this even after my debt it payed, she'll help me buy some lolita stuff? I can always dream...
bye for now!

Today was Loliday!
Jun. 8th, 2008 | 11:46 pm

After watching the Belmont with my mom (poor Big Brown, we were pulling for him, hope he's OK) we were going to eat and I changed back into Lolita, but my mom looked at me funny and said "We're not going anywhere fancy or anything..." I told her it was Loliday and she just kinda sighed and went on, she puts up with all sorts of crazy stuff from me :P sometimes I swear my mom is a Saint.
I got a big surprise after supper at McD's, we went to Blockbuster and I saw
We got home late, and I had to go feed the horses in the dark. Normally I wouldn't have a problem, but when I opened the tackroom/feed room door, right where the feed bins are was a BIG wandering spider. I HATE SPIDERS I am very afraid of them!!! Approximate measurments of this ugly thing are: body 1.5"x1/4" and legs: around 2" or 2.5" 0.0 I freaked. I found myself too scared to move, so I got out my cell phone and called my best friend in Tampa for backup (I was too ashamed to call my own house -_-;) she told me to throw something at it, so I took a dirt clod and threw it at the spider, the dirt clod hit beside it and broke, which scared me, and the spider didn't move 0.0 so Maygen suggested the fact that water and spiders dont mix. I had a little cup of water to use on the horse's food, so I threw water against the wall and the spider moved, making me scream. It took about 3 little splashes of water to get the evil beast down where I couldn't see it and it wouldn't creep me out as much. I stayed on the phone with Maygen for a little bit, which was a good thing because about 2 minutes later, the light in the tack room went out. In the tackroom, alone, at night, in the pitch black dark....with a spider O_O not cool at all. See, my mom's filly knows how to turn light switches on and off, and she chose the one of the room I was in >.> (thanks Sierra for scaring the beJebus out of me) Once I got the light back on and the horses had their food I was still talking to Maygen, and my mom came down to the barn (I had taken a lot longer than normal) to make sure I was OK. (thanks again mommy!!!)
All in all, a crazy night full of happy and absolute scared-ness ^^;
Happy Lolita Day, everyone!!

We had scrap paper and I made a huge Bleach chibi drawing page of silly-ness, including the Schiffer Swiffer, the Ulquana, the Spoon of no return, and "Raising the Bar, even in Hueco Munedo!" unfortunatly they take up the papers -_-;
When I got home I decided not to be a pyro and eat a PBJ sandwich instead of anything that required cooking. And gosh I have been so thirsty today! Freakin 95 degrees and humidity you have to use a chainsaw to cut through >.>
But WHOOOOHOOOO I don't have an exam tomorrow, so I can just stay home and do whatever the heck I feel like!! I plan on sleeping in, feeding the horses, eating a nice brunch, then just laying around and reading ^^ I'll definatly throw dancing in there also, cause we all know I can't go one day without dancing! =D
It kinda sucks though, cause two of my friends also have no exam tomorrow, and I think they're going to the mall but I probably won't be able to go, not only because I'm broke, but also because my mom doesn't like the mall, and says its very dangerous (which I can understand) but still, I haven't been since Christmas *begs mommy*
Ugh my allergies are driving me crazy tonight. I accidently fell asleep for about an hour after supper and when I woke up my nose was running, eyes are itchy and sore, the whole 9 yards of allergies. That's what I get for hugging my horse -_-; I couldn't help it, she was being so sweet and cuddly, I just had to hug her (I'm allergic to horses, yet we have 4 and I ride xD yay allergy meds!)
I really need to clean my room, but I just feel like being lazy tonight. ^u^ Plus I really want to prepare something awesome for International Lolita Day this satuday, I'd like to sew a skirt to wear and find a cute cutsew but I can't drive and can't....really...sew.. >.> last time I tried to sew a simple circle skirt It came out really uneven and bleh and...yea I can't sew...ahehe....^_^; but I finished putting a zipper in my bunny back pack and I made two sets of lace cuffs ^^ *proud* If I can just find a little blue cutsew (can't believe I don't have one O_o its my fave color!) I could wear my teddy JSK tucked in so it looks like a skirt, my blue cuffs, white socks and my white shoes ^^ and Bunnykins of course :3
Das ist alles, Tschues! ^o^

Exam Tag Eins

blah
music: Cinderella Complex: High-King
Had my Algebra II exam today, it was ok, there were only a few I had to guess on and still finished about 30 minutes early. It feels good to be out of school early, we have halfdays all exam days, so we get out about noon. Needless to say I was very hungry by the time I got home and decided to heat up a frozen pizza...
I never had such a hard time fixing a pizza until today. I had the oven-preheated and when I got ready to put the pizza in I saw that there was a cookie pan in the oven already o_O all I could figure was my dad made something for breakfast and forgot to take out the pan? who knows. So I got the stupid pan out and ran it over to the sink, poured cold water on it, and the kitchen went all steamy (lol the Shauna's open 24 hours, room for everyone xDDD thank you animazement) and in the confusion of trying to put my pizza in and clean the other pan, I forgot to set the timer for the pizza o_o A few minutes later I realized the timer wasn't going.
me: Umm...Ashia...?
ashia: what?
me: how long ago did I put the pizza in the oven? *slouching in shame*
ashia: *laughing* just look at it and see if it looks done
me: does it look done? I don't know
ashia: you're asking the person who made a pizza explode?
I opened the door and decided to leave it in for a few minutes. Thank goodness the house didn't burn down and the pizza was still cooked and edible.
I also got my class ring finally today, after a problem with delivery to my school they mailed it to me (months after everyone else's) I like it, it's nice and tiny and fits me very nicely. I got my school mascot and a horse, my school name, my name, and my birthstone. Unfortunatly it doesn't have my class graduating date o_O wonder where that went...instead there's my initials carved inside. hmm must've filled it out wrong.
Furthermore, there are videos and pictures on the internet of supposedly Natsuyaki Miyabi and Inoo Kei embracing and kissing.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=hKInWoq6
http://youtube.com/watch?v=3at4kwkV9HQ
Doing so is in violation with Miyabi's H!P contract. The videos looked a little convencing but this picture makes me think it may not be Miyabi:
http://www.hello-online.org/hello/image
http://www.hello-online.org/hello/image
something about the face looks like a younger miyabi...then again im probably in denile because I don't want one of my favorite members and the best singer in Berryz Koubou to get banned (she's also in Buono)

There's nothing like the satisfaction of knowing you've done something good, especially with your friends. Yesterday the anime club at my school (of which I am a part of...duh >.>) cleaned up the courtyard that's in the middle of our school. It took 3 hours and 8 people to get a little over 1/2 of it done. We had a lot of fun, blaring Japanese music and singing along while we pulled weeds and constantly made "hoe" jokes.
Afterwards, we met up at McDonalds and crammed in the playplace (I wish I had pictures of that!!!) with my niece. The only bad thing was that there was this kid in there who was about 5 and he kicked me several times, spit in my friend's face, pinched me and another of my friends, and kicked another of us o_O needless to say we told his parents and he got spanked...*devilish grin* I'm 16 and I still tattle hehehe....
It was totally an awesome day with the girls.
When I got home I took a shower and we were going out to eat, so I wanted to look kinda different today, so this is what I wore (I like wearing different stuff like this, it's wild and crazy and comfortable!) [sorry my room's a mess!!! >.<]
I loved my hair
Earlier last week I bought my Ulquiorra Espada boots and painted them, so I put the whole outfit together (getting the wig this week) and took silly pics.
I have a fake eyeball...lol

Couldn't keep a straight face...
