I'm blogging for the first time in around...a billion years. Yes. I need a new layout because the colors suck ass. I'm not fond of it. Boo.
Xanga is soo effin' cool. Yes.
Today was the first day of AIMs testing. I ate Honey Gram crackers. Yay! It was pretty stupid, we had to write about how you are living on a new planet and stuff. I wrote that I moved to Mars and about the spacestation. It wasn't interesting or fun. Boo.
I only had Writing and Lit today and Math, and it wasn't as bad as I thought. I guess sitting around for around two hours isn't that bad.
In Choir we learned new dance moves for our Lion King medley. It was fun and I liked it. It amused my friends and I for the rest of the day. (Morely my friends than myself. It got old after a while.) We are singing a 10 minute song and dancing at the same time. I'm debating whether that will be fun or not.
No volleyball game until next week. KFMA day is on May 7th. (Jimmy Eat World, Sum 41, Taking Back Sunday, Billie Idol, Unwritten Law...sweet)
And there's a Troy's Bucket concert too on Friday I believe. I don't know if I'm going to go...

Okay, I'm gonna work on a layout or something.
Signing off,

Watching: Law and Order
Listening to: The TV

        Ahh...Watching Law and Order right now. How ironic, it's about the murder of Asians/Chinese. Anyhoo, today has been a looooooooong day. Lmao.
       Anyways, today I started out in P.E. in period one...EHHH...I had a football test. I was in a group of friends and we had to see if we can kick the football far, make a field goal, and throw with accuracy. I did okay, but my friends didn't do that well. Hehehe. Oh well. It was a little weird since I had two guys in my group and they were clearly much better than us. Haha.
       Seminar, I read for a half and hour and the walked the track with my teacher since she needs "exercise." Haha.
       SOCIAL STUDIES was clearly the best subject I had allllll day. Want to know why?? 'Cause we cracked COCONUTS today!!! It was freakin' awesome!! I got to use a rock and smash a coconut! Woo! Anyways, we couldn't use anything that was man made, and we had to use anything we found outside. I didn't know this, but the coconut shell is very sharp! Haha, I'm stupid. Anyways, yes, we sucessfully we able to take out the coconut milk and meat, but HALF of our milk leaked out of our container! IT SUCKED!
    Anyways, science..ehh...got a C+ on my lab report. It was my FIRST ONE! I can't believe she graded it like that!!! Anyways, I can't believe she graded sooo hard! But she said that if you got into the C range, I am in "good company" 'cause almost everyone in the 8th grade got into the C range. Pooop. Oh well.
     Okay, I've gotta go. Talk to you all later! I love ya'll! PLEASE LEAVE SOME  C-O-M-M-E-N-T-S!!! Thankie swankie!

Listening to: The taping of my keyboard.
Eating: EEGEES!
Feeling: Tired

         It's been a loooooooooooooooong day. It was mostly long in Ms. Burrows's class, but yeah, it was still loooooong. Oh well. At least I get the satisfaction of knowing that tomorrow I will be cracking a coconut with nothing but a stick and a rock like the Neanderthals of our time. Haha, it's gonna so funny. Can't wait. Lmao.
         I'm also dreading tomorrow however 'cause I have guitar that day which sucks 'cause I didn't practice worth of crap. Oopsie. I also had two weeks to practice. Double oopsie.
         Anyways, if you haven't noticed, I made a new layout for my xanga. Wooo. I also added 25 new songs compared to my old one, which had ONE song. Yep. The jukebox is filled with my all time favorites as well. I suggest Some Postman by the Presidents of the USA. Good song. I also have All I want for Christmas is you, which is a good song any time of the year. Lmao. Anyways, yep. My layout features the Vines too, which is possibly one of the best bands known to man. Yes, so I command you listen to them! My Ron layout was a little weird 'cause everyone who saw it thought that he was a girl. It's okay though, 'cause I'll always love him even if he has some girlish qualities. Hehe.
          Mmmmm....EEEGEES....possibly the best DRINK known to man. A slushly ice blended sensation that tastes soooooo good it might make you melt, even if it is an ice drink. For you Californians...I'm sorry, you are missing out on the best thing ever. It melts in your mouth and it's wonderful pineappley tastes makes you want to scream out "BOW DOWN TO EEGEES!" Haha, I'm hyper now. Sorry if it's freakin' you out. I'm cool, I'm cool. Calm, collected. Heehee.
Anyways, it's getting late, and I have to go. See ya'll later! Leave lots of comments!! (Emos) Fwhahahaha.

Saw Without a Paddle, the movie, starring Seth Green, Matthew Lillard, and Dax Shepard. It was an awesome movie! It was a really weird story and some parts are really gross (Gross as in nasty not perverted) but yeh, it was good all around.

Yeah, finally blogging. I changed the layout yet again. I like this one best. It seems that everytime I log onto Xanga, I change my layout. Heh.
         Anyways school starts next week. Whoopteedoo... I'm nervous 'cause I don't know what the bring and what not. I have a freakin' bottom locker too. DARN IT! I'm gonna get trampled now. Grand...I can't even close my locker too! I wish that I had told someone 'cause now I might be late to class trying to close my locker. Crap crap crap.
          Bleh...life sucks. Hehe, okay, that's finally out in the open.
          Anyways, I haven't been doing crap this summer. I went to the movies and the mall a lot, and I went to Oakland and stuff. Yay...I got back like, a week ago or something. I got hosted too...Yeh, that's cool I guess. Thanks Magic-host.org. I don't have a clue about the damn FTP though. It's really confusing and it sucks. It doesn't work! I tell you!! ARGH! Can ANYONE help me with the FTP?!
          Yay, I wrote a poem. Working on a song and story. Stupid song and story, but not stupid poem. I'm going to post the poem. Give your comments but no flamin' 'cause if you do you suck.

To think
You were actually different a year ago
Now you hide behind your fake mask
You pretend you are something else
I hate how you do things like that
Being yourself just isn't enough
You have to be noticed by the people who matter the most in any social group
The popular kids
You try hard to seek their acceptence
Unaware you are rejecting your real friends
Screaming and shouting out for no reason
Cursing out the tiniest things
When you mess up
You laugh it off
Trying to look cool
In my eyes you are a completely different person
What happened to that nice girl I knew a year ago?
The girl who used to be someone I could talk to
Someone who I could confide in
That girl has vanished and is replaced by someone I don't reconize
You try to be many things
But you come out looking like a poser

Yeh, that's the poem. Nice? Unnice? Heh. Give me your comments.
Ahhh, I love Skye Sweetnam. She's so freakin' awesome. She's such an awesome singer and she writes the best songs in the world. Tangled Up in Me is an awesome song, in which I command you all to listen. Go to her website, which is http://www.skyesweetnam.com Go to music and click on "Tangled Up in Me". Listen, Know, Love. I command you!

Hehehe, I picked a guitar layout. I LOVE blogring.net!! =D Anyways, I just came back from my little California trip, and I went to the mall, disneyland, that stuff. It was interesting.
The mall was interesting...some of Maisie's friends got banned from a lot of stores, and Jenaun scared the crap outta me. (Heehee, sorry if you're reading this) It was a very interesting experience, that's I'm not going to forget anytime soon.
Disneyland however was sooo funny. My parents and brother came for a change. We rode a few rides. Me and Mais rode all the rides they wanted...=/ Well anyways, after a while My family got tired, and decided to go while me and Mais stayed until the park closed 'cause Karen was gonna take us home. It was so funny, Mais and I rode Grizzy Peak and then there was this one part when the geyser is surposed to come up, and right when we were getting in front of the geyser, it shot up, and our whole raft had to go THROUGH the geyser! Maisie was freaking out and it was hysterically funny. Ahh, then we rode Hollywood Tower of Terror before we left for Disneyland, where we waited for like an hour for Karen 'cause she was taking sooo long. Then we kept on seeing Evan, Karen's friend. Finally, Karen got off work, and took us to Inn and Out, and then we went home. The next day we left. Hehehe. Anyways, I think I'll be seeing Maisie again in like a couple of weeks 'cause I'm taking another trip to San Fransisco and we're meeting up with her and her parents. Yeah, and my website looks so awesome right now

HOLY CRAP! LOL...well for one thing, it's been a while since I've blogged, and...

THE BLINK 182 CONCERT! THE MOMENT YOU HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR!
Haha, just kidding. But seriously, I'm going to give you FULL details about the conert! Okay, so we arrive at the concert a little late, around 7:15. But then again, everyone was coming at the same time I was. It was really nerve racking, but it was cool. We get in line, and then we watched people getting frisked by security. It was weird. They didn't frisk me or my mom though, so it was all good. We didn't go into the stadium right away, because I really wanted a shirt, so we waiting in line for practically a half and hour. It was really frustrating, but it was really worth it. I got my shirt. ^_^ and then we headed to the staduim. We sat for a little while, and finally the lights went off and everyone started cheering and screaming. I was amoung them. =) My mom just watched me. Hehe, I felt bad 'cause I dragged her down there to see them. I think she enjoyed it. Anyways, blink 182 opened up with one of my favorite songs, Feeling This. It was soooo awesome. One word to describe it is: "WOW!" They are such great preformers, and Tom is so funny, and Mark has his awesome pink bass, and they both sang really well. Travis has SO much energy. I could watch him drum ALL day!! Anyways, they preformed ALL of their hits: Dammit, Feeling This, I Miss You, All the Small Things, The Rock Show, First Day, Obvious, Down. It was so intense. At this one part of their show, they asked every to take out their cell phones and not their lighters and wave them. Suddenly, the staduim was filled with cell phone lights. It was so awesome. I kept on screaming. It was so awesome. During this one song, the band <b> Phantom Planet </b> came on they were in their underwear. They brought a kiddie pool onstage, filled it up with something, then jumped in while blink preformed. Then they MOONED us! IT WAS SOOOO FRICKEN COOL!! I loved it!! Then during Down, the stadium went dark and Travis started playing his drums on the other side of the stadium! Then he came back to the stage and they closed to show with Dammit. It was amazing,
But that was only half of the show! No Doubt came on and oh my gawd I swear it was so awesome. I loved it! Gwen Stephani had so much energy and she danced and she sang everything. It was so awesome. They opened up with I'm Just A Girl. It was so awesome. I didn't get to see the rest of the show though because my mom wanted to leave early so we could beat the crowd. We were in luck too because just as we left a TON of people came out of the stadium. I got a blink 182 trucker's hat too. =D They bands were so great! I COULDN'T BELIEVE I WAS ACTUALLY THERE! It was one of the best expieriences in my entire life and I love both of the bands. HEHEHE. IT WAS THE BEST!

Isn't this a beautiful layout? I love it! I'm going to be keeping it for a long time!
        Well Standfords are over, but now I'm taking the AIMS. We don't get gum sadly, and our school is running out of snacks. *Cries loudly and yells at parents to get snacks* I don't get it. I thought that the tests are surposed to be fun! I took the Math section today. Having a small mind, I thought it was a little difficult, so I guessed on some of them. Sad, sad, sad.
        Yesterday I watched the Haunted Mansion with my family, and it freaked me out. I thought it was good though. It's so sad. It's like a story of Romeo and Juliet. *Cries loudly in big sobs* I loved it though. It was very cute and very scary.
         It's kind of good being at school. The weekend lasted almost forever. On Saturday, I had a long day because I had to go to a Bat Mitzvah service at like 10 in the morning, so I had to wake up at 8, which I didn't really enjoy, then I had to sit through like two and a hald hours of Jewish prayers, then I had to sit home for like 5 hours and do nothing. FINALLY I went to the party that lasted until 11:30. I danced the night away at the party. Yay! The theme was New York, so it was pretty darn cool. I love Bat Mitzvahs.
            The one thing I noticed about Xanga is that like none of my guy friends have it! I think Maisie and all my CA friends have guy friends who have an Xanga. Same with Angela's friends. My friends don't have Xanga. They haven't even HEARD of Xanga. Lol. It's sad, I know. Xanga is really cool! They should get it. I bet they would think that it's like "gay" or something and they would just make fun of the people who have it. Ho hum. Well I have to go now. Bye!

Hola kids.

I'm quite angry/disgusted with a certain someone who has been getting on my nerves for the past few years or so. *Narrows eyes and glares at the person* They talk to much...THEY STEAL EVERYTHING FROM ME! EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Grr...makes me mad. That dirty, rotten, no good, piece of shittakie mushrooms.
          Today was a waste of a day. My parents went to a groundbreaking ceremony and then a show, so they left at 12, then came home at 5 where we then went to dinner at El Corral. Fun fun. Then while they were gone, I did my essay and stuff and then I went on the laptop to write my story. Boring day.
           Standford 9 testing is next week and I'm not sure whether to look forward to it or not since I'm not very fond of testing.   Same with the AIMS. I don't understand the point of big tests like these when they don't count or anything. It's kind of stupid of you ask me. However there are many pros. I mean you don't have much homework, you don't have to do much thinking. You get food AND gum...Woot.
          Dum dee dum dee dum... Hmm....Evening of the Arts is soon....I wonder if I vould learn Norah Jone's Don't Know Why by then. *Starts to daydream about performance and making everyone go "Wooow!"* Probably not. It's in two weeks and I won't be ready. Who knows? Maybe I can surprise myself.
        Tah tee dum.... I love the new Avril Lavigne song "Don't Tell Me." It's soo good. I don't really like Avril Lavigne, but I love her music. Too bad in this case the musicion isn't as good as the music. *Shakes head sadly*
           Well kiddies, I'm outta here. Laters!
