Common Cold

I am now resolving myself to be a dedicated blogger.
I think.
No, I know.
Hahah, that sounds funny if you say it out loud.
Anyways…
You know what’s really depressing?
I’m sick.
Ridiculously, symptom-fully sick.
I have the whole armada.
Stuffy and runny nose.
Wracking coughs.
Throbbing headache, bordering on migraine.
Occasional, random feverish bouts.
I think that’s it.
Oh, and a nasty sore throat.
It went away, though, after I used like a bazillion herbal things.
They taste funny.

Right.
The illness went around MIHS, and I think I’m part of the last wave to get sick.
Yesterday, I ran 2.2 miles without going anywhere.
Treadmill, in case you were wondering.
It took exactly thirty minutes and six seconds.
Thirty minutes of exercise daily is supposed to speed up the healing process.
I don’t see, or feel, any improvement.
The internet lies.
I’m going to have to eat it one of these days.

On a more pleasant (I think) topic, I managed to get a hold of a copy of Brisingr.
Or however you spell the title.
I think it means ‘fire’.
It’s the new, third book in the Eragon/Eldest set.
It’s pretty good, but not compelling.
They use too many long words in dialogue, which is annoying.
And do a little too much telling.
Creative, though.
I don’t think I ever finished reading Eldest.

Oh well!
I’m like, a quarter through Brisingr.

My hair has gotten longer!
I attempted to dye the roots platinum blond, so when it grows out there’ll be a cool streak.
I kind of messed up…
So now they’re just highlighted.
Not too bad, actually.
Except a lot of my hair is dark brown now.
A pretty good portion of it is light brown.
And streaks are gold.
Nice effect.
Not quite what I was going for.
It worked, anyways.
Oh well!

I feel nastily sick.
It’s hard to think with a headache.

I should probably go do my homework now.
You know, the world is in a sorry state when the hardest and longest portion of my homework is Spanish.
That’s just lame.
LA and SS are supposed to dominate!
They fail.
Oh well.
I’m going to stop procrastinating and wasting our (well, mostly mine) time now.
See you soon! :D

Math is Beautiful

Die!
Die!
Dieeeee!!!
Hahahahah!
HAHAHAH!
DIE.

-shiftyeyes-
-cough-
Yes.
Well...
I think I'm failing PreCalculus.
Okay, maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration.
I'm Asian-failing PreCalc.
Ugh.
Do you know how much of a shame this is?
I'm not even in PRISM anymore!
Ah!
I'm dying of mortification.
-sob-
I don't like math.
No.
I HATE math.
HAHAH.
I'm going to shred it to bits with a lawn mower one day.
-cacklesevilly-

....
Yeah.
Anyways, time to go do math homework.

Alcohol

I hope I didn't spell that wrong.
How pitiful would that be?

This idiot freshman Cheer girl showed up to a football game drunk, and is now facing expulsion.
Hahah, stupid girl.
I didn't see it myself--I heard it from one of my Physics partners.
She's not to bright, either.
Keeps copying my work.
Even though the answers are basically the same as the last two hundred experiments or so...
That's alright.
She's on Cheer too.
It's funny.
I guess Cheer breeds stupidity.
Or something like that.
At least my Physics partner is nice.
Actually, we're in groups of three.
The other girl is an XC person.
They're both freshmen, by the way.
Physics, I think, is all freshmen.
The other girl is amazinggg at running.
Freaky.
Oh well, I think practically everyone is amazing at running.
Hahah.

I'm making friends rather slowly.
I think I'm going to be more 'outspoken' in my freshman classes now.
It's a little dull, only knowing XC people.
Though I now know five people pretty well.

Hey!
You know what's really weird?
Okay, so James does this clicky thing with his wrist.
Well, in Spanish, two senior idiots were doing like, a 'click off' or something like that.
The poor Spanish teacher.
Nobody really pays attention to her.
It's funny.
Anyways, I'll be back with more random, boring things about my life soon.

Toodles!

Brain Damage

Note: I wrote this in school.

I feel so free! No guys to worry about, or people with heaps of unsolved problems. No silly, childish crushes, or miniature fiascos that make everyone freak out and panic. I can totally feel the thrill of freedom in this. (Justin's elation towards Lakeside--I understand completely!)
Math is a little dull...the pace is rather slow, even if the class is the 'fabled' honors PreCalculus. I can't wait for AP Calc...
Bwahaha, I'm eating candy in Physics. The teacher...doesn't like that, but he isn't going to catch me now, is he? I don't like energy. Or waves. Or energy and waves. That's the unit we're on now. I think we covered this in sixth grade. I feel stupid. Gawd. All my theories are wrong. I fail so much at Physics.
Ew. We had to play around with slinkies and coils to study waves. My hands smell like iron.
Omg! Guess what treat we have in Image! A guest speaker.
Joy.
They fail lots at the projector.
The stupid freshmen boys behind me are making shadow puppets.
I mean, it'd be alright if they were actual shapes...but they aren't.
Pah.
Did I mention how confusing block schedule is? It's weird, and I can never remember which classes are long and which ones are short.
By the end of October...I hope to finally have remembered the names of the people I talk to every day. Or...how about twice a week? That works.
I haven't quite figured out how to spell all my teachers' names. Shame on me, right? Oh well. Not like they care.
I can't believe it's only been two weeks of school--it feels like forever! I miss you guys so much. The next party excuse is Halloween, right? Oh yeah, and the Interlake v. MI football game at Interlake. (I missed the Newport one 'cause of piano and other stuff.)
The freshman class is really weird.
Apparently, there is such a thing as 'social status'.
It was really funny--I was talking to this slightly-annoying girl, Illana (excuse my spelling mistakes) and Laura, one of my XC mates, was like, "don't talk to her! Your social status will go downnnn."
It was very strange, as I wasn't aware I had a social status.
Interesting.
I shall study this further.

--finis.

About the social status stuff, I asked another one of my XC mates, Molly, about what it was, and she said people were generally very cliquey.
I think it's quite amusing, the way they make this stuff important--and exclude others. But so far, everyone I've met has been nothing short of extremely courteous, so I can't see anything strange....

--another clip

Argh! My Image classmates are giving me brain damage.
Fuck them.
On to a happier topic...
Our homecoming theme is 'American'.
Isn't that completely ridiculous?
Yeah, I know.
Laugh your guts out.
Have you guys found out your themes?
On that note, how were your first days of high school? And the homework load?

The Promised Land

No, not a Christian reference.
Jono updated!
About bloody time.
A good chapter, though.
Now for a couple more months to wait for the next...
-shiftyeyes-

Homecoming has nada to do with football.
(Well, I suppose you could connect it some way, but I'm not going to bother.)

Hey, our main XC coach ran in the olympic trials too!
She was 14 seconds off, or something.
.__.
Sounds terrible.
She teachers...World Cultures, an English/History 10 block.

Long distance is totally painful...
Very satisfying, however, when you finish.
If you ignore the head-pounding blood-rush, that is.

No, Artemis is simply a smart goddess of the hunt.
Why kill innocent animals, when you could kill perverted guys?

Get high like planes.
XD
It's soooo catchy.
"So What" by Pink is quite amusing, too.

Actually, I'm not too certain about the mascot.
You see, it's also an 'M' and 'I' overlapped, with the image of the island surrounding the 'I'.
And we are called the 'Islanders'.
But there's also another picture of an island, water, and an 'i' that form the image of a snail--it's on the district website.
Oh!
Perhaps the snail isn't MIHS', but MISD's.
That makes so much more sense.
Scratch the first thought, then.
We aren't snails.
We're tribal natives who live on islands and wear maroon and white.

Speaking of maroon...
I finally found maroon socks!
Be proud like heck.
Our colors are way better than yours.
>D
Whether you're at Sammamish (antique black/white), Newport (McDonald), Interlake (shades of blue) or Bellevue (blue/yellow).
Hee.
XD
Except for the fact that no stores sell maroon things .__.
I almost fell over in triumph when I found maroon socks (well, more like tights...) at Pink.
(Hahah. Take that, all you evil not-selling-maroon places.)
White is easy to find, though, and I got a white hairtye at Claire's.
They didn't have anything (in the whole, fucking store) that was maroon.
Seriously.
The closest thing was a dark, shiny red.
I was like, to the cashier, "Would you say this is a maroon, or more of a red?"
She thought for a minute, before telling me it was red.
-sigh-

YouTube Video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BvjBO7DzjA
It's a really good parody of "You Want A Piece of Me" by Britney Spears.
XDD
Though his singing could improve...
It's called "You Want A Piece of Meat"
XDDDD
This guy is talented, like.
(All his vids are black/white, idk why...)
He makes great vids XD
He stresses his totally Asian accent and does this funny thing when he 'raps' XDD

Oh yeah. One of my XC coaches happen to be my English 10 teacher...
It's a little weird. :/
But he's insanely awesome.
^ ^

Right. To comments.
I know! I love the -kaching!- XD
Yep, only two.
(Hahahahahah.)
Go to homecoming, Anita.
.__.
Long distance is painful, but I kinda enjoy it now...
-scratches head-

Myth of Artemis

You see, Artemis is my favorite Greek Goddess. She’s insanely awesome, yeah?
My admiration only grew today after hearing some of the myths.
A teacher popped into my English 10 class and told us his favorite myth.
This is how it goes…
Artemis, the twin sister of Apollo, is the Goddess of the Hunt.
Under clear days with heavy, full moons, she would bathe, nude, in a lake behind a mountain.
She’d wait for men to gather around to watch her.
Then she’d turn them into elk and hunt them down.
And shoot and kill them.

Doesn’t that sound fun?



Alright, to respond to comments.
I like the first and second, but I'm not sure... .__.;
Paper Planes by MIA is a really funny song XD
"All I wanna do is -bangbangbang- and a -kaching- and take your money."
And it's sung with a funny accent (lol!)

Yeahh. Newport will be like, filled with stupid people, yes?
But more asians.
And asians are supposed to be smart.
Stress on supposed.
Yeah, I've got to take Image/Health.
Well, it's not required, but I don't want to take it next year...

I know! Pity the raccoon, yes?
But hey, we're only torturing mental raccoons.
I am mental god.
My mental raccoon doesn't mind.
(I killed it.)

We don't get animal mascots...
Well, technically we do.
We have island-residing humans as mascots.
Humans are animals, yes?
(XDD)

Homecoming isn't about football...is it?
No it isn't.
-shiftyeyes-
Football is boring-as-hell, like.
They have ugly clothes.

Yesterday I went to my first meet!
I ran two miles in 18 minutes.
(Don't laugh. I'm proud of myself.)
Newport wasn't there, but Interlake, Sammamish and Bellevue were.
I saw Robin W., Derek T., Erin B., Alyssa (I dunno her last name .__.) and Summer H.
Summer is really, really fast o__O
And one of the freshman girls (something Benster...her older bro's also fast) ran a 12 min. two miles.
Isn't that crazy?
But I improved my two-mile time by 5 minutes.
(Be totally proud of me.)

I wonder if BSD homecoming will be delayed 'cause of school.
Anyways...
We get a pre-homecoming parade!
(Except I have piano on friday, so I can't go -.-)
What do you guys do?

High School Cont.







Huh. Which picture should I use as a profile pic? I currently like the first one the most...


Lol, I like Lucinda's theory XD
And I agree with Pei's. ('Cept I used a different method of explaining...)

Anyways, here's what I wrote in Image yesterday out of sheer boredom.

High School Day 2
Bloody hell, the immaturity of my Image (health) class classmates rivals that of the non-PRISM Odle guys.
Ew, like.
All my other classes are pretty good, though.
(It might have something to do with the fact that most of them are not freshmen.)
They've all got attention spans briefer than the memories of goldfish! -headdesk- How am I supposed to learn anything?
And the teacher is like, "be quiet please" and doesn't follow through with threats.
She has like, zero authority.
And I have crap classmates.
You know, I'm really glad I'm in a ton of honors classes.
At least the people there are happy to be there.
-shiftyeyes-
So I'm reading an article about depression right now, and it's six straight pages of repetative crap.
Ugh, like.
Everyone else is really slow, so now I'm writing. (Ho-hum.)
Has the BSD strike ended yet? They don't seem to be doing much--except messing up your schedules.
LOL, the teacher was like, "we're going to start with smoking."
Presentations are lame-oh. These people can't read. Seriously, like.
And they have crap handwriting.
I'm falling asleep out of boredom...
Can't imagine block schedule.
Hurts just thinking about it.
Ew.


There you go.
The state of freshmen.
For those of you going to Newport, that's your life.
-laughsevilly-

You know what?
I think I'm on the Interlake roster.
So if they're like, taking roll, don't tell them I'm skipping.
Well, I suppose you could...
That'd be really funny XD

School's been pretty nice.
I've made lots (well, a sufficient amount--at least for my lame-o name-remembering skills) of friends at XC, and met two new people in classes.
Andy Wingerson is in my pre-Calc class. ('Tis cool.)
Anyways, that's about all the interesting stuff I have to say.
Oh yeah--there's a Bellevue/MI home game (for us) tomorrow.
Apparently, we always lose.
(Lol.)
I didn't see games with Interlake or Newport on the calendar, but I might have merely missed it.
If you check your calendars and see a game over at one of your schools, be sure to tell me! We could totally go together. ^ ^

First Day of High School

Huh.
Doesn't feel much different.
The main thing is the whole I-don't-know-a-single-person-and-I-get-lost-in-the-hallways part.
I got assigned an essay T__T
It was about...

Task: Please respond to the following questions with well-reasoned and-supported arguments.

Question 1: Doctors took a raccoon and shaved away some of its fur. They dyed what was left all black. Then they bleached a single stripe all white down the center of its back. Then, with surgery, they put in its body a sac of super smelly yucky stuff. When they were all done, the animal looked like a skunk.
After the operation, was this animal a skunk or a raccoon?

Question 2: Doctors took a coffeepot. They sawed off the handle, sealed the top, took off the top knob, closed the spout, and sawed it off. They also sawed off the base and attached a flat piece of metal. Then, they attached a little stick, cut a window in it, and filled the metal container with birdfood.
When they were done, it looked like a birdfeeder. After the operation, was this a coffeepot or a birdfeeder?

Isn't that depressing?
.__.;
The first one, at least.

Physics is easy (well, it starts off easy, at least...)
I can't believe you guys don't have school.
>.>
Catch will be painful, like. Very much so.
Good luck, anyways!
=D

Oh yeah, homecoming!
I have a piano masterclass during the MI homecoming parade, so I can't do -.-;;;
Oh well! Piano ranks over non-academics any day.
(Gawd I'm such a nerd.)
I'm going to homecoming with Dong!
(I think...I'm not too certain.)
(Trying to convince him to go to Interlake's .__.)
And Ivy/I will go to MI homecoming without dates (ha, hahah.)
What are you people's homecoming plans?


P.S. What's the Newport mascot? I know Interlake is Saint Bernards (or something...)

BSD Teacher Strike

Is like, nawt fair much?
I have to go to school at 8 AM tomorrow.
I know, BSD is like that normally.
But you guys don't have to wait until 3:30 PM to get out -.-;
I wonder when the teachers will finally be happy?
Anyways, I should probably go to sleep soon.
-shiftyeyes-
I have until the end of 'Disturbia' (on YouTube) to finish this blog post.
How often do you guys pop in online?
'Cause sometimes there are tons of comments after one day, and others there aren't any comments in...a long time.
Hey, is the strike HS only, or all?
You guys could do something fun tomorrow!
-twitches-
Lol.

Homecoming.
Newport and Interlake are on the same day...
Ho-hum.
I'm going wherever Ivy is XD
Mercer High's is the Saturday before. (18th)
Ivy=crazy
She says she wants to take a limo to homecoming.
Homecoming.
Limo.
Those are like, incompatible words.
But she says the normal ones are about $40 to rent, so I suppose if there were four people that'd be okay.
Though it's still a bit crazy.
I mean, a limo for homecoming.
-frowns-
Oh well.
We'll see.
I feel silly.
I don't know if I want a homecoming date or not.
I could be Ivy's date!
XD
That's only if she doesn't get asked, though.
(lol)
Ho-hum.
I feel old.
Age-ed.
Yeah, well the song ended.
That means it's time for me to end...my very boring post-of-the-day.
Whoohoo!
Buhbye =D
