I'm standing out here all alone
I need someone to take me home
She was standing next to me
There's room for you and room for me
Matt Costa, "Yellow Taxi"

I'm finally back on the internet. Sorry for the spells of disappearence. But I was without internet for a while. The Olympics kept me busy as well. I'm proud to say that I'm a fan of Michael Phelps's Facebook page. It's pretty much the greatest thing.

I landed in Bahstahn today. Since we don't actually have a house, we're living in an apartment until our house in California sells so we can buy one here. I'm adjusting to this East Coast time-difference frenzy. It's nice to see the Olympics ahead of time.

I finally developed my Interlochen pictures. And half are too dark. Because I am bad with disposable cameras. I left two at camp. D:

I am missing California tremendously. I'm excited to have some sort of rendezvous with William and Susan sometime soon, but I miss home.

I feel bad. Blogging hasn't been at the tops lately. But. I'm getting back on track.

I'm filling out my forms for school, which is tedious. I'm in Wellesley. Which is nice.

Oh bother. I'm so incredibly bland today. I need some sunshine.
I think tomorrow I might actually be back on track.

I fell in love again.

I fell in love again

I don't mind, I don't mind
I made a lot of mistakes

"Chicago", Sufjan Stevens

Contrary to popular belief I haven't died, but I was at heaven. Sure, cliche and all, but I just got back from Interlochen Arts Camp, which is basically the most spectacular place ever.

For all you Jonas Brothers fans, it's basically, Camp Rock. But with music, visual arts, dance, musical theater, rep. theater. And basically everything else.

For all you non-Jonas Brothers fans, it's spectacular.

Two reasons for picking the song today. One, I was trapped in Chicago because my flight back to San Francisco had been cancelled, and, two, Sufjan Stevens went to Interlochen Arts Academy, for oboe, so it feels like somehow we're connected. Hah.

If you don't fall in love with this song. There's something wrong. No lie, if Sufjan doesn't get to you with his amazing vocals, and breezy melodies, the instrumentals will. "Chicago" is a pleasant song which fits the relaxing day of just, dare I say, "chillaxing." Whether you're wrapping up the late summer days or getting back from camp and depressingly Facebook everyone else. It'll make your mood.

Pretty much. The lyrics are the most soothing things ever. It's a brilliant song, which chorus is like, that summer day with just enough breeze, sitting by a lake, or in the park, or it the city, just sitting. Probably people-watching if you're as creepy as me.

My life is "Chicago" right now. I'm depressingly home from camp. Glad to be back to luxuries I would never have had, but sadly reminiscing as I Facebook friends. I'm still stuck singing Guys and Dolls song, which by the way was so spectacular. Everything was amazing. I'm in love with the entire cast. The entire camp.

I remember the reason I was in love with playing clarinet. Ah! I'm in this bittersweet mood. Missing camp, but sitting and relaxing.

6 minutes and 4 seconds of melodic bliss.
I'm home. All things go.

just don't let the music fall.

Pull Shapes!
The Pipettes, "Pull Shapes"

For those of you who don't know, "Pull Shapes" is a term referred to dancing in the Britland. Haha. I know because in all these days I haven't been blogging, I've been doing my rounds on YouTube, dreaming of becoming a YouTube celebrity, while watching whatthebuck wonder why he wasn't invited to the biggest online dance battle. Which happens to be Adam Sevani + Mike Chu's Dance Crew (ACDC) and Miley Cyrus and Mandy's dance crew (M&M Cru). I'm a pop culture junkie. I keep up. Haha.

Also, I've developed a strong following to Tom McLean, or frezned. And often after watching, I'm leave with an Aussie accent as well. How interesting.

Okay, why haven't I been blogging? It's not like I have had NO NEWS, more like, I've been swamped with news.

And I'm not going to post any of it. D: There is a chunk of my life missing from the blog. What a shame.

But I'm getting back in the gig. Haha. Oh my! I have blown off my savings on Smosh merchandise. I feel so gluttonous. Haha. I think I'll give a shirt to Jovian though.

Speaking of which, Jovian wrote the nicest things ever in my yearbook. Plus a quip in Tagalog, which I have yet to translate! (But I will).

I'm teaching him Mandarin in return for Tagalog. Good deal, good deal. Haha. Hm. I've made a handful of videos which I have yet to post on YouTube. But I'll post sooner or later.

I'm back in the game, is anyone expecting?
Oh! New links. Ewan and Homie have a blog.

for some reason I can't explain.

I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sweep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own

I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes

"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
Coldplay, "Viva La Vida"

Woiwjefowiejf. I am the worst blogger ever. Ahh! Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! For my extreme inactivity.

Hm. So much has happened since the last post. So I'll get to it. Yes?

And I promise I'll get to it!

Finals, finals, finals, are tearing me down.

I really needed a new song.

I am now going to go do Biology homework.

Doing some Rwandan research before I got to art to work on my oil painting. :) Hooray! Hm. The Rwandan Genocide of 1994 is quite tragic. No scratch that, it's massively tragic. And Hotel Rwanda is such an amazing movie. I definitely cried. (As did Jake Sturgill). Joey had his mantears which was funny. :)

Hm. But, yes! If you haven't seen it, watch it! Like right now, right now. I'm serious. Hm. Speaking of Joey, he was incredibly sick today and wheeled out. I hope he feels better soon. :)

Watched Indiana Jones (again). Haha. I think since George Lucas and Steven Spielberg's job's or reputation didn't depend on it, they just put it random elements. (Spoiler Alert!) Such as the random prairie dogs, the "Grease"-like diner scene, the Tarzan thing with the monkeys, and that last Star Wars thing. Seriously, I thought John Williams would put the Star Wars theme in at the end instead of Raiders of the Lost Arc.

Hahah. :) But, yes. Spoiler's over.

Here is an overview of my day today.
Bonjour Jackie!

Matt Costa, "Mr. Pitiful"

Hooray! New layout! Oh my gosh. This one took forever to customize. I started with the basic "Lovely" layout which I scrounged from the internet, but I mingled with it a lot. Mostly with links and such. But. It took a while. Haha. Uh. Archives is still in progress, but the ol' ShoutBox is up. Hooray! :D

Hm. Today was a lazy Saturday. Just walking around, bike-riding and taking pictures. Hah. It's become quite usual.

I'm feeling happy, no elated, but also sad, and a bit cynical. I hope things smooth out. But it's one of those things that's just like, sad, and you can't really do anything.

Yesterday I went to the movies with Jake, James, and Joey. Haha. J-Squad! We saw, of course, the new Indiana Jones. It was nice. And James' alien comments made it funnier. Hah. I don't think it's one of my favorites, but I'd watch it again. :)

Friday was Jake and my one-month anniversary. Call me cliche, but it was pretty lovely to celebrate. :)

My dad's coming home from Bahstahn for the weekend. Hooray!

Ho hum. I don't have much to say today. :)

It kinda crept up and took me by surprise
And now there�??s a voice inside my heart that�??s got me wondering
Is this true, I want to hear it one more time.
Marié Digby, "Say It Again"

Oh my. I've found myself quite obsessed with Marié Digby. Her songs are so wonderfully mellow. I love it. Haha.

Hm. I'm writing this rapidly during an American Idol, and Dancing With the Stars commercial break. How intense of me. Haha.

:) Have I mentioned how wonderful Jake is? Because he's basically amazing. Haha. And my French teacher thinks so too. It was really odd, funny, and quirky all at once. We were talking about our best friends, (en francais, of course), and Chris mentioned Jake S., and Madame Rene was like, "Oh, like the Jake in my French 2 class?" and Khushbo was like, "No, that's Jackie's boyfriend." Haha. We then spent a portion of class discussing his amazingness. Hah. :)

Also! My friend Raffi has a blog. I've added her to my links. But, here it is, http://hellopandaa.blogspot.com. :D

Hm. I wish I could type more, but I'm getting paint on my keyboards from art this afternoon. My self-portrait is quite flawed. But I like how it's coming so far. :)

Oh my. American Idols' back on. Which David are you rooting for?

Too cool for lyrics.
The Scrantones, "The Office Theme Song"

So. Here I am, grubbing on Frosted Flakes, reading teen fluff chick-lits, and watching The Office. And listening to feel-good music. You know, the kind of songs that everyone knows and owns, and is like a universal dance tune? Like, I don't know, "I Want Candy". Haha. A whole bunch of things happened this week. I'm not sure why I'm mentioning them, but I am, despite some of their insignificance.

ONE. Blogger made this thing where you can set what date you want to post something. So I wrote a letter to future Jackie. Haha. I'm a lame-o. Also, it solves my summer issues considering I won't have access to a computer for the majority of the summmer. So, I'll write little things. I guess. Haha. So people won't think I died, or something.

TWO. It got hot. And not just because I'm here. Just kidding. But, seriously, heat wave. It was 102 degrees on Thursday. And it's, like rising. I envy my Pennsylvanian friends. Actually I don't. Because I love California, a lot. But, it's hot. So hot, that it shouldn't be this hot. Like, gross hot. I'll go swimming. but, yes. HOT. HOT. HOT.

THREE. Death Cab For Cutie came out with thei new CD, Narrow Stairs. I haven't gotten it yet. I'm waiting for James to get it. Haha. Just kidding. I'll somehow get it legally, however. Because I want it. Haha. :D They're playing at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley. Whoo! And Hana Pestle opening for them. Hooray!

FOUR. People came up to me about my bloog. SO, I'm mentioning them. Haha. I made a pun aout Vanessa Frick's name. It's "frickin'" amazing. Haha. I'm lame. Ah. Brittany, Allie, and J. :) Whoo.

FIVE. 2 more people got blogs. I'm not saying that it's like "my thing" or whatever, because it's not. Haha. But i think it's cool. It's like this little extended network. Haha. I'll link soon. Hooray for the blogging society!

SIX. Spring Spirit Week failed. I'm not saying it's anyone's fault. And yet, I am. Hah. I feel like such a jerk to say it, but it's totally his fault. He didn't even dress up! GUH.

SEVEN. @#!$ I missed Thursday's dinner. Which was really frustrating, considering I was all ready to go, and I was pysched, and Jake, Khushbo, James and Amanda were going to be there. BOO. But my mom and sister were stuck at the doctor's office, and didn't get home until like an hour after predicted. BOO. BOO. It was extremely frustrating. But I hope everyone had fun.

EIGHT. Kyle VanSchaack and I hugged and he was like, "I head you're moving. I'm sorry." It was nice. COnsidering that I haven't really talked to him in the longest time. I don't know. I haven't really actually dedicated a lot of time talking about moving. Or have I? Wow, I'm so selfish. Hm. Do I want to move? Obviously, no. Am I excited? Well of course. It's funny, in Bio, we were talking about how the East Coast, is like a totally different world. And I'm anxious, scared, excited, sad, happy that I don't have to deal with the Trimester, and shattered all at the same time. Hm. I have to register for classes soon. It's so weired. I sent my audition in for the Wind Ensemble a few days ago. I hope it's alright. It's like a mega downsize, though. The student body is less than half of what I'm used to. And like, hallways and buses! Ah. They seem so insignificant. But yeah, it's different. I'm not going to like. I'm anxious too, like am I going to be that "cool Californian kid?" Or. Like. You know, the New Kid. Ahh. I sound so shallow. I've been reading to many chick-lits. Haha. But yeah. I usually don't worry about that kind of thing. And yet I am. Haha. Wow. I really do sound like teen fluff. Maybe I should just send my entire blog to like, Scholastic and get it published. Haha. Wow. I need a life.

NINE. Had a philosophical conversation with Emma. About, colors. Like, what if my green is really your purple? But we still call it green, so we'd never know. Interesting.

Oh my. I finished my bowl of Frosted Flakes. I better go fetch some food. Hah. Sorry for boring you.

Wow. I actually was verbose today.

gotta love the BPM.

Oh my, oh my. Haha. I watched Charlie Wilson's War yesterday. Despite the nudity, obscenities, and references to cocaine, it was a lovely movie. And I thought it was quite well done. :D

Hm. Mother's Day was pleasant, we went to Strizzi's and ate food. My mom doesn't really believe in that holiday, if it makes sense. But we celebrate nonetheless. Haha.

Oh! I keep forgetting. But I guess, what should I call them? Shout-outs? Well I promised Sneha and Raffi I'd mention them. So I'm mentioning them. Haha. "Sneeehaaah!" Wow. I need a life.

Anyways. Guh. College tension in the house. As always. Boo. I've come accustomed to it. It's funny, I thought it'd be over after she got into Hahvahd. But, now it's housing issues. :) But it'll settle down. After a few episodes of Greek, everything'll be fine. Haha.

Ah. French class is so odd. Like we're learning, yes. But, it's like on life lessions and random rants. Haha. :D Oh well. I enjoy it. It's, ah, exuberantly entertaining, to say the least.

Hm. I feel bad. I insulted one of my best friends today. :(

Hm. Oh, some people, who shall remain unnamed, think that it's my responsibility to take care of their job regarding ASB just because I've been covering so far! Ah. The one day I couldn't help. :(

And I think my sister and I were the only twins today on Twin Day. Haha. Tomorrow's Sport's Day.

Ah, ah, ah.

Hm. I'm a bit tired. Hah. Ah! I'm glad we got our Latin America project done and over with. It was really exciting though, haha, like 20 minutes into our project, we ran out of things to do, so we improved for 55 minutes. Ah. It was fun though. We had random Maracca dance-offs and I got hit with an oar. It was quite fun though.

Ah. My weekend is, interesting. So far at least. I'm just grubbing around home for today, tomorrow finishing work, and perhaps the movies.

Hah.

I'm watching these silly videos, reading five other people's blogs, and sipping a Capri Sun.

Ahh. Hooray for the spread of blogging! :D Ah. Today was alright. The week's been simple to say the least. I'm so very psyched for our Latin America project! It's coming along nicely. :D Which, is, like, great. Haha.

I'm pumped. Hm. Powderpuff is coming! I'm pumped for that as well. Haha. Jake was back today, which was quite delightful. Although it was oddly cold. Haha. Good weather come back! :D

Hm. We watched the oddest video on grouses and their mating patterns today in Biology. They like spin around and like, make foghorn noises. It's quite odd.

And to quote Josh, "Taste the rainbow."

Hm. I need to stop being lazy.

I'm talking to Jackie in the midst of blogging. And it's tough to multi-task. Ooh! Now I'm talking to Khushbo. :)

So. Today was nice. :) Jake was sick, but I hope he feels better. Haha. Heart to heart conversations. And I missed Josh's call. :(

I'm pretty pysched for our Latin American projects. I would totally post exactly what we're doing, but then the ideas would be swiped. Haha.

I will later though. Let's just say I've got more video editing to do. Hah. :)

I like videos.

Haha. Today, after school, Ayla and I put up posters for her campaign, and we like ran into the boys' bathrooms. It was a pretty big adrenaline rush. Haha.

Wow, I'm really lazy. I have a lot I could talk about. But I'm too lazy to type.

Ah. I'm in a good mood. I'm missing a lot of phone calls though, my phone is having a spazzism disorder, so when I accept calls, it hangs up. :(

Oh well. School was pleasant. Nice weather. Haha. Hm.

I wish I had more to say. But I keep forgetting all the clever things I was fabricating in my head right before I got on.

Today was wonderful. Scratch that. Today was spectacular. :) And hooray! Testing's over. :D Haha. Everything is lovely. :)

State testing is just tedious, although the down time is lovely to play a game of dots, eat bagels, and work on ASB posters Ahha. Still, I like the schedule change, somewhat. Hah.

I definitely can't stop right now. Ahhh. I'm beaming. I really am. Haha. I'm so incredibly happy. Jake just said a pick-up line [on Myspace], which made my day. Ahh. He makes me smile.

Haha. Have I mentioned Josh Gudgel? He's my influence and inspiration. http://tostandinhisshoes.blogspot.com

Hm. My life is quite bland at the moment. I don't have much to talk about. Hah. Today after band though, the Cluffs and I definitely sang Mika songs over and over. We should be panhandlers.

And Janelle and I finally recorded Smosh's Boxman Dance. About a month late for their contest, but still. :D

Tracked down old friend's on Facebook. I must say Josh has gotten taller.

Oh my gosh! I know a lot of Joshes. Haha.

Ah. Life's good.

Kimya Dawson, "My Rollercoaster"

Augh. Here I am. Procrastinating on a French project, still slightly jetlagged from the flight, but happily back in California. I've got a lot to tell. Haha.

Well. For one thing, life is treating me spectacularly. And Josh, who's basically wonderful started a blog as well. :) Hooray for influencing bloggers! http://tostandinhisshoes.blogspot.com/ I'll add the link later. Haha. My friends make me smile.Jake makes me happy. And it's nice to be back in California, as wonderful as Boston is. We've got state testing here this week, which normally means little to no homework. But apparently all my teachers are thinking the opposite. So, that's a negative, but otherwise, life's pretty swell.

Ah. So, I've learned that I sleep better on planes. If I haven't mentioned it before. I'm an insomniac. I basically don't sleep, but I have random hibernation spells. Haha. But, it partially may be because there's nothing else to do. But I sleep pretty comfortably. Haha.

Anyways, that's aside the point, visting the schools, basically changed my opinions on all the areas we were visiting, all in positive directions. Which basically makes the choosing of which school I want to go to, quite difficult.

So. All the schools are multi-leveled, and have indoor pools. As well as dark rooms and TV stations. Me, being big on TV and Video Production, the arts, science, and music. Cared about that. Haha. And the schools all have, like, crew or sailing, which would be an alternative to water polo. :\

I realized though, that this move is like, trading. Haha. If that made any sense. In general, I'm bitter, if not bummed about the entire thing. Considering it's during my high school years and I'll be leaving all my friends. :\

But, I'm trading California for Massachusett's. In N' Out's for Dunkin' Donuts. Water polo for Crew or Sailing. Famous Grapes for Famous chowders. Beaches for Shores. Powell Street for Newbury Street. San Francisco for Boston. Gah. So many parallels. But still oh so different.

Haha, when I had been touring the schools I had been wearing my bright blue skinny jeans. Skinny jeans aren't as big. It's mainly polos. Which I noticed. Oh! Spanish is by far the smallest language at schools there. Which I found interesting, considering here, it's majority.

Uh. I have a lot to say. I definitely know I'd say it all better verbally and all. Hahah. Huh.

I better get back to work. I just remembered I have 0 Block tomorrow.

Taste the rainbow.

John Mellencamp, "Jack and Diane"

I'm going to be honest, all the New England chowder I've been eating has been starting to show. Haha. Ah. Looked at several houses today.

It was quite tedious and tiring, but I got to look at old historic houses, which was nice. Not that I would like to live in one. Which isn't in California. Hah. I admit, although I haven't really shown it, I'm still quite, angsty? I don't think that's the right word, but bitter about the move. I know I'll just have to cope, but it's quite different.

Haha. Definitely got back to my dad's apartment and watched vh1's 100 Greatest Songs of the 80's, it was relaxing. So far I like Wellesley, the city, which is just a T-ride away from the actual city part of Boston. Weston is slightly overrated. It's considered, like, the "Bel-Air" of Boston, but it's kind of like you took a time machine back to colonial times and it's an overgrown plantation. Haha. It was built in 1713. It's pretty old. Ah, as for Acton. It's really nothing special.

I always will love Boston though. :) But I think I'd love to not move more. Heh.

Tomorrow looking at open houses. Monday we're going to schools.
Everything's happening too quickly, I wish I had some time to savor. :I

Later: I promised Jackie I'd mention her. Hello twin!

Pardon me if I'm talking fast and stumbling all over my words
I heard you were leavin' town I thought I'd be the one to know first
If you have a minute let me talk to you and see what's going on
Don't say it's nothing when it's gotta be something that's gone wrong
Now let me explain but I don't know what to say cause I don't know what the hell happened
I come in the house to try to work it out and all you're doing is packing
Close your suitcase let me think straight
Damn what could be the reason?
Baby talk me I'm almost outta time
Avant, "4 Minutes"

If you haven't already gotten the message, I'm in Boston (or Bahstahn Hah.) until Monday. So. Yeah. Haha. Looking at houses, schools, and for my sister's admitee weekend at Harvard.

Haha. It was quite fun, when we dropped off my sister, people thought I was a pre-frosh, so I mingled and prentended to go to Harvard. It was quite wonderful. I also bought a shirt that reads "Hahvahd" instead of "Harvard." It's basically wonderful.

Ahh. The flight yesterday was long. And early. But I'm here. Haha. Today, I basically looked at a million houses and three schools. Okay, that was an exaggeration. But still. Haha. I'm tired. And I miss my friends. Especially Jake. Haha. :).

Well. Yes. I'm trying to see if I'll ever develop an accent. Considering Jake S. thinks I do a really good Irish accent. Haha.

Mhm. Listening to old Avant songs as I'm in this quite cramped apartment. But, it's alright. The time difference is a bit annoying, considering I can't really talk to anyone. Haha. The song is like the opposite of the mood. I'm content. Not over-ecstatic, but I'm alright. :)

Well. Everyone in New England is on Spring Break right now. So. I'm getting tours of the schools on Monday. And basically trying to finish make-up work, going to Newbury Street, which is like the Powell Street of Boston, and getting baked beans for Kirsten. :)

Ah. So, two peanuts were walking down the street and one was assaulted

PEANUT.

Bahah. That makes me laugh. :)
Have a wonderful day.

I can't sleep, function or eat when I'm not with someone.
Late last fall, she ended it all and moved to who-knows-where
Just like that, she vanished and packed and never even called.
Motion City Soundtrack, "It Had To Be You"

I have a boyfriend. Wait. Let me say that again. For Daniel, because I know he'll do a double take. Hah. Jake makes me happy. :)

Nom. Com. was all right. It was nice to do the Macarena again. Considering I haven't done it, since, I don't know, All-State? Hah. JP would have been proud.

Um. More later, I have to pack. I'm heading to Boston until Monday. :(

Still, I'm all smiles.

I've seen so much.

Do you feel like a chain store?
Practically floored
One of many zeros
Kicked around bored
Your ears are full but your empty
Holding out your heart
To people who never really
Care how you are.
Blur, "Coffee & TV"

My weekend was surprisingly busy.

Friday: I had the fashion show. Which was wonderful, like I said last night. And the auction was quite spectacular. :D
Saturday: Erika's Cotillion. Where there was like 300+ people, and it was just fun in general. And "stealing" pink swords from the bar with Bianca was basically the highlight of the night. Haha.
Sunday: Went to the city and mingled with Harvard folk.

Hah. So, we were invited to go talk with Harvard grads today and other Harvard acceptees. Which was quite wonderful. Haha. People thought that I went to Harvard. It was funny. But, yeah. Some schools are crazy. Like Lowell had 9 kids get accepted to Harvard, and Medler had 13. Silly schools. But it was really cool talking with other people, even though I'm not going. Hah. Free food! :) It was still nice to mingle.

So, as I procrastinate on homework, and watch Cleveland's Next Top Model, which is basically this parody of ANTM on YouTube, I'm typing up this blog. I love how I just stated the obvious. Haha. Anyways.

Cleveland's Next Top Model, episode 1. Enjoy. There's already three, but I might as well get you started. :)

you wanna be on top?

Oh my goodness. The fashion show and auction was basically amazing. The show had a really good turnout, I'd say a little over 200 people came. Haha. I "rawred." It was so wonderful. The auction though, was basically fantastic. :D Haha. I myself got into an auction frenzy and "won" the pair of jeans that I was modeling. They're bright turquoise pants for Luxirie by LRG. I got a pair of 70$ jeans for 20$. :D Good bargain. I was surprised that the Lacoste wear went for only 15$. It deserved more. Haha.

Basically. It was fantastic. My sister got a pair of Luxirie overalls as well. And the prom dresses sold for, like, 10$. The turnout was really good. And I'm sure that we definitely raised over 2000$ for the American Cancer Society. Hooray!

Gah. Yesterday was basically fantastic. :) I say "basically" a lot don't I?

Ah. Today I'm going to a party at Poppy Ridge. Hah. There's like 200 people coming, it's like a debu. I'm quite excited because I get to wear a wonderful dress. Although I hope some of my friend's were invited. Otherwise, it'll be like all seniors and juniors plus me. Haha.

Smile, you're on candid camera.

well I've been good.

I'm not surprised that you still call
I'm not surprised
I'm more surprised that i don't answer
pick up the phone to call you back
pick up the phone to call you back
ain't it funny how things work out like that.
Tristan Prettyman, "Madly"

Today was mundane.
Well it was actually wonderfully blissful. But I'm basically caught in this trap of posting after I do my homework. Which makes me bland. So, "Sorry!" in advance. :)

Baha. In Social Science today, Stephanie H. and I made this wonderful poem for the scandals of Russia and the Republics. Haha. It's called "Krazy Kremlin." And yes, the "K" in "Krazy" is for artistic license. Haha.

Is this the real world, or is this just fantasy?
Dioxin poisoning, missing bodies, and hemophiliacs, oh dear,
Who knew such scandalous troubles could be so near?
It�??s not just nuclear fallout that causes all this,
Welcome to Russia, how scandalous.

Travel to Siberia; bring a jacket, it�??s cold.
Here lay the Romanovs, where their lives took a fold.
But where is Anastasia? Where could she be?
Is she dead or alive, with brother Alexei?

Once a handsome face, but slowly deformed,
Viktor�??s pretty face, was finally adjourned.
Dioxin was the culprit, but who had planted it?
Could it be his opponents? That would surely fit.

Hahah. We're silly.
Wait scratch that, James is silly. Because he says things about people that aren't true to make me feel better. And yet I still love him. :) Haha.

Fashion show tomorrow! Hooray. :D I'm quite excited as both a model and buyer. Hah. :D

that's all I need to know.

I'm selfish. I really am. I know he knows that I like him. And I'm pretty sure he knows that I know. Why that's selfish, I don't even know. But I know I'm a selfish person. Which makes me feel bad.

Life is mundane. Not in a negative way, but it's just same ol' same ol'. It might just be because it's 10:57 PM and my hair is wet and giving me a headache, or the fact that I'm out of croissants from Costco, or the fact that I'm too lazy to continue any research on Phenylketonuria, my genetic disorder assigned for Biology.

Went to the first forty-five minutes of the tennis match today. It was quite great. Despite the fact that we weren't allowed to cheer. :I

Gah. So in Social Science, we're learning about Russia. Which is basically my new favorite unit. Seriously, I think it's because basically I've never actually learned about Russia, but it's really interesting.

Guh. Not much to write regarding today or tomorrow. Angry parent is about to lecture me on doing something other than homework.

Why am I so selfish?
Yes, I'm happy.
But, still.

Later: Gah! Sorry for the extremely bland and mundane verbatim. I feel silly now, being so cranky,

when boy meets girl.

When the moon hits you eye like a big pizza pie
That's amore
When the world seems to shine like you've had too much wine
That's amore
Bells will ring ting-a-ling-a-ling, ting-a-ling-a-ling
And you'll sing "Vita bella"
Hearts will play tippy-tippy-tay, tippy-tippy-tay
Like a gay tarantella
Dean Martin, "That's Amore"

Ahh. Today was spectacular. Seriously. :D Me, Jake, Khushbo, Homie, Drew, Bahram, Christine, Daniel, and Stan/Otis were downtown. It was basically amazing.

Where do I even begin?

So, basically we like just walked to Robeks, multiple times to say hi to Marc, haha. And discussed Jake's manorexia and Daniel's love life. It's basically wonderful. Haha. When we went in front of the Bankhead there were like posters set up for us to draw on. We basically wrote our names on them and I made one that said "Yes." like the Prius commercials.

We hung out at Starbucks for quite a while, and Christine and I, like, had to find out the song for the blog, hence, "That's Amore." We generally sat in Starbucks and discussed mancrushes, such as Bahram and Stan. Who I still don't know. Haha. And how Justin has a mancrush on Clayton. :)

Hah. Ahh. It was hot though today. Like nice weather. But I liked it inside too. :) Drew kept thinking that Jake and I were going out, which made me laugh. Ahh. I love going downtown. :D

Basically. I still like him. And I think he knows. But I know he doesn't like me back. But I'm content.

Oh! I have good news. My parents are letting me stay until August. Even though we'll fly over, to register for school and stuff. But that's exciting. It makes me happy. :)

So, I wrapped up my day with a wonderful AIM conversation with Jackie, and I'm blissful. It's basically wonderful.

"Lucky fella."

Later: I got the monthly archives up. :) Hooray!

you're still on my mind.

I met her at a backyard
Blockparty by the bar.
And she kept lookin' at me
Like she knew who I was.
She was buzzin' all over me.
She was buzzin' all over me.
She was buzzin' all over me
Like she fell in love.
Shwayze, "Buzzin'"

Am I lame? I just love spending time with him. :)

But, anyways, yesterday, was basically fantastic. :) Ahh. Courtney's party was so wonderful. Like, the most fun I've had in a while. Basically, we just went to the park, played tag, hot lava monster, ghosts in the graveyard, Honey, I Love You, and capture the flag. Ah. Apples to apples was quite wonderful. And Charlotte's work in a brothel. Hah. Just kidding.

But, yeah. It was so wonderful. :) Haha. Riley and I have basically mastered the "crawl" in Honey, I Love You, I think he does it a lot better though. Hah. And Jimmy was going crazy with his manhandling. For shame. :) Ah! I love these kids. I accidentally gave Emily H. a bloody nose. :( I have a big head. But, it was basically a wonderful night. I love parks.

Basically, he doesn't like me back, although James says he does. Hah. I'm content. I guess. :)

I watched Coyote Ugly with my sister last night. I miss the simple fun we used to have. Like playing tag.

I'm a happy kid. :)

this is a happy end.

I'm a new soul
I came to this strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit 'bout how to give and take
But since I came here, felt the joy and the fear
Finding myself making every possible mistake
Yael Naïm, "New Soul"

Ahh. I'm so incredibly giddy right now.
First off, it's my 100th post! Hooray! I'm still pretty happy that I've been keeping up with this. And thanks to everyone who's been reading! :D

Second, I basically had the most amazing conversation with Khushbo about Anastastia Romanov, dream dates, Across The Universe, and intellectual happenings. Hah. It's fantastic. So, I have two theories on Anastasia Romanov. If you haven't heard the mystery, Wikipedia it! It's actually really fascinating.

So, my first theory is, is that Anna Anderson is Anastasia Romanov, but with the execution, she endured emotional trauma, and formed a new personality to destroy the past, Franziska Schanzkowska, a polish worker, and essentially had Multiple Personality Disorder (I read a book on it.) Of course, she committed suicide from tension within her mind. That own case of trauma reawakened her true personality which is Anna Anderson, or Anastasia Romonav.

My second theory, is Anastasia's mother Alexandra, a French woman who was scorned from the Church had an affair with the monk who "cured" Alexi's hemophilia. She had a love-child, who eventually grew up to be Anna Anderson. Since the mitochondrion DNA follows the matriarchal line, Anna Anderson's DNA matched, but she wouldn't have been in the grave because she's a love-child!

Ah. Bizarre, I know, but I'm a nerd.

Third, I'm basically giddy on love. He makes my day. :) That's all I'll say.

The Battle of the Sexes rally is tomorrow! Go girls! Hooray!

Yomp. Happy 100th post everyone! :)
