Birthdays

I haven't been to a birthday party in like forever. So when P. invited me to her birthday, I totally forgot to get her a gift. I was luckily reminded by one of my friends to get her one ^ ^;;. Imagine how embarrassing it is to show up without a gift? Well... I don't want to find out xD. Yesterday, I went shopping at the stores near by my house. I first went to this Korean shopping thing. They had some cute stuff, but it was mostly decorative silverware. I can't give silverware to my friend on her birthday. That'd be so lame :P. So I went to the store next door. I'd have to say it's the perfect gift store too. They have a bunch of cute figurines, little knick knacks, pretty tea sets, and many other things. I loved looking at all the little things there ♥w♥. Everything was so fragile there too that I was afraid that I'd brake something ^ ^;;. Good thing I didn't :D. I eventually ended up buying this cute little pink ceramic round box with pretty flowers on top :3. P. likes pink, so I thought it was a good choice, color wise. The coolest part was that the person actually gift wraps it for you! ^ ^ that's one less thing to worry about. The gift wrapping was so pretty too ^ ^! It was this white colored wrapping paper, with a flower pattern. And there was a pink ribbon tied up in the coolest way. It only cost me 10 bucks too. So I was very satisfied with my gift :3. I think I might get all my gifts there xD. I wonder if P. will like it though. I hope she does ^ ^;;. Wait! I forgot to get a birthday card OTL. Gosh..I really don't want to go out again >.>. It's a real pain in the butt to choose. ...Not because I'm lazy. It's because I'm not lazy. My dad always gets annoyed when we go card shopping because I always have to read all the cards, and find the perfect one. So it takes me quite awhile to buy a card. Sigh~ nobody ever bothers to read the cards anyways. Thus, all my work is wasted TT^TT. I think I'll just skip out on the card if that's the case.
^ ^ I can't wait until P.'s birthday comes though. I haven't seen her all summer! Which is terrible >3<, just terrible. So I miss that woman xD. When I see her though, she'll probably freak. She's been so hyped up about the happenings of K. and I. And I'll probably be tackled by her when she sees me xD.
Can't wait :)

A Trip to Rin-chan's House~

Today, I went to go and visit my lovely friend, Rin-chan. It was more of a homework visit. Rin-chan doesn't have the books that we need to finish the English homework. Thus, I went over to her house so we could work on it together. ^ ^;; except I only had half of the books we needed, and Rin-chan thought it was very stupid of me to not have all of the books. But it's not my fault xD. I thought she said we only needed two certain books, and I did. Good thing is that we were able to finish the homework anyways :D. With a little help from Nyu-san, and the internet ^ ^;;. It was so much fun going to Rin-chan's house though. I love going there because I get yummy free food ^w^. Yea, I'm a freeloader~ ;D. Lolz, but besides the free food, I liked going there because it's fun hanging out with Rin-chan. ^ ^ We have like telepathic powers, and understand what one another means when we say stupid stuff, so there's no need for annoying explanation. Anyways, we had lots of laughter and snacking involved in my visit ^ ^. When we called Nu-san, we put her on speaker phone. It was funny because she sounded like a guy, and we couldn't understand a single word she said xD. I don't like calling Nyu-san for homework help because she always gives me weird and vague answers. 

For example:

I'll ask her "What is the theme of blank story?"  <--story not really called "blank" xD

She'll respond as "Poverty." 

I'll be like "How was poverty related?" 

Nyu-san would then reply "It just is." 

Which in return makes me ask "...but how?" 

"They had no money." She'll then say.

And I'll be like " >.O but what does that have to do with the theme/life lesson of the story?"

Eventually, Nyu-san would get annoyed at my "stupid" questions, and redirect me to someone else who she believes could help me. Nyu-san is a very weird lady, who likes to beat around the bush. Anyways, since Nyu-san is so bad at helping with homework, me and Rin-chan went onto the incredibly helpful internet for answers :D. But unfortunately all the websites that tell you answers like "what is the conflict" or "what is the theme" for books cost money in order for you to see the complete answers. TT~TT so we had make stuff up from vague text online. I mean we're supposed to be doing this ourselves, but we're lazy :P. Rofl xD jk. I mean we can't come up with the answers ourselves very easily (because the book we had to read was stupid and difficult). However, with the help of the vague websites and the work of two awesome minds, we were able to come up with the answers. So we actually finished some work like we were supposed to :D. But mostly because I was able to keep us on track...>.> well it was more of a group effort xD. We had to remind each other continuously. Ah ha xD it was fun goofing off with her though. I've been cooped up in my house for so long that I forgot what it was like to socialize with other people other then my family ^ ^;;. We laughed at all sorts of things like trains, teddy bears, hiding knives in layers of fat, and etc.

Exia-Near came along for the visit as well :D. He got to meet all of Rin-chan's excellently house trained stuff animals ^w^~. Um..I don't know any of their names, so I can't really tell you who they are. But they have nice personalities.... for um stuff animals that is xD.

Read from right to left like in manga

 Exia-Near had a nice one on one conversation with Rin-chan's Hello Kitty ^ ^. . . . well maybe it was that nice of a conversation. lol xD. Exia-Near needs to learn not to say such offensive things ^ ^;;. I guess I didn't train him properly. Well, he does only get to associate with his family as well. His family is my group of stuff animals xD.

[for those of you who cannot read the text in the speech bubble clearly, it says
Exia-Near: *looks at Hello Kitty* And I thought I was the big one... O_O
Hello Kitty: *angry* Excuse me?! >:( 
~end of conversation~]
Um..^ ^;; idk if you can understand the joke but I shall explain.
Exia in the anime he comes from is this really huge robot thing, so since Hello Kitty is "larger" then him, he says that thought aloud. And Hello Kitty is offended because she feels like he's calling her fat.

So at 5:23 p.m. I left for home, and started walking with the feeling of a happy afternoon left in the air. (that sentence made no sense, but just go with it xD). When halfway home (I live a block away from Rin-chan), my phone started ringing -truthfully I was hoping it was K.- it was Rin-chan. I picked up my phone and said the normal greeting of "Hello?" And Rin-chan was going on about how I forgot my pencils. So I turned around to go back to her house. However, I heard a door open and close nearby, and turned to the noise out of habit. To my surprise it was a very cute boy walking out of his house ^ ^~. I watched him walk off to some unknown land, while Rin-chan went on about something (I kind of unconsciously tuned her out). But sigh~ my heart is already taken by K. ;) ~ ..Which reminds me, I gotta go check my inbox to see if he replied to my email. Hm..I'll do that later. Ah > < sorry for getting off topic. xD Anyways, after staring at the cute boy walk away, I meet up with Rin-chan at the front of her apartment building. When I got there she handed me my pencils. And, shockingly she only handed me one pencil. . .  I was like: -____- <-- yea I had that expression on xD. It was just one little pencil, and she called me for that xD. Oh, well. It's the thought that counts, right? ^ ^. Lolz, xD I told her about the cute boy, and we joke about the idea of me going out with him and the idea of a "boy next door" kind of thing. But the guy looked slightly older then me by like 2~3 years xD. Which isn't much, but still. And I feel kind of bad now ^ ^;;. I have this feeling that I'm like cheating on K. for looking at other guys. . . hm. . .but it's not like I'm really serious about the person, so it's okay right? Gah! >~< Idk. Oh well. Nothing is gonna happen because of it, so whatever.

^ ^ So to conclude this entry, I'll say.... SEE YA LATERS!! :D ~       (or is it "blog to ya laters"? xD)

Summer Homework

I don't get it. Why does a school give you a summer vacation, and then ruin it with stupid summer homework? Can't I just enjoy my summer care free? I mean seriously, weren't they ever a kid TT~TT ? Sigh~ I hear the homework is for us to not get stupid over the summer and/or for the teacher to see what's are level of intellect. I still don't like that >.> . So far I finished the math packet I got. However, I have yet to finish my English, Social Studies, and Science homework. I feel so bad about that :( especially since vacation is almost over. If I don't finish it now, I'll be dead xD. I tried to work on my science essay, but I accidently fell asleep while reading the book ^ ^;;. I only got up to 6 pages, and I was knocked out. I did get lots of notes from those 6 pages though! ....But I guess that still makes it kind of fail that I only read 6 pages >.>. Does, it help if I say I stayed up until 1:30 a.m watching my little siblings ^ ^;; ? My dad needed a little vacation from us mischievous children (when you're a single dad with four children you definitely need a break here and there). So being the oldest child, I had to be in charge and watch the little devils. xD However, apparently when "awesome big sis, Emiko" babysits, the kids get to play all night. That's what Za. said at least ^ ^;;. Am I really that laid back? Don't get me wrong. I tried to put them to sleep. It's just I'm a people pleaser xD. So when they asked for a "bedtime toy" and cartoons, I said "Okay, as long as you sleep." ^ ^;; and that didn't work out so well. Eventually, I got them to sleep though. Anyways, back to the point, I did so little on my essay because I stayed up late ^ ^. So now I'm innocent. (...was I ever guilty to begin with? o.o) Sigh~ I feel so bad though. I'm such a procrastinator. Knowing me I'll probably work on it until the day before xD. I'm trying not too. I'll most likely try and do the essay tomorrow. This time I'll do my work on the table instead of the floor. My dad started laughing at me when he saw me sleeping on the floor, hugging my book. I would do what some people do, and finish all the work in a group of friends. But with my friends, I find that more distracting. I've tried it once, and it didn't work out. We only spent like 5 minutes of what we're supposed to do, and started goofing off. So I mostly go solo on my work. All in all, I understand why I get homework over the vacation, and I find it kind of reasonable I guess. But that doesn't mean I have to enjoy doing the work > <.

Happy Easter!! ^ ^

Happy Easter!! ~
Today, I went on my first easter egg hunt in the last 4 or 5 years. I went to the zoo to do the egg hunt. I thought it'd be pretty cool since it was at the zoo. I went with my family (dad, 2 lil' brothers, and sister). To tell you the truth, it sucked xD. I stood in line waiting for about an hour. Not to mention, it was hot and humid. The sun was blazing on my head, and trust me that's not to fun when your hair is black (dark colors absorb more heat). Plus the smell of animal poop was everywhere. So when I finally made it into the egg hunt area, I was only able to get 4 eggs! Plus, the "hunt" in easter egg hunt got lost somewhere. When you go to these easter events, they just toss the eggs all over the floor and you just pick them up. -.- there's no hunt. What ever happened to hiding the eggs? Sigh~ people must have gotten lazy over the years. The candy sucked too. But I guess that 20 minute experience was fun... >.> ok no not really. And after the egg hunt, we went walking around the zoo. Animals are nice and all, but exercising is my least favorite thing. So running to catch up with your little brothers around a smelly zoo when it's hot is not a pleasant idea.
Well, I hope your easter was a lot better than mine. :)
Again, Happy Easter!

Extra Credit Homework?

My English teacher can be pretty weird and a little zoned out sometimes. ^ ^;; She gave us extra credit homework to do over spring break. It was to go to some kind of website, and do book 3 of the ELA test from last year. But you want to know something odd? It's really really quite odd. When I went to the website she told us to go to, there was no book 3! > < It was so stupid. I spent half an hour looking for that stupid book 3!! Ugh! I don't think it exist...you know the book 3. I don't think it exists >.>. My English teacher probably just made a mistake. Everyone does (me for example! ^ ^ ...wait should I say that so enthusiastically?). Sigh~ but I vaguely remember her saying that she'll give us extra credit for whatever work we did from that website. So, I think I'm still going to do the extra credit. I could use the extra credit. I have a 95 in English, so I really want to raise it. Lolz, my friends couldn't find book 3 so they gave up. I guess they didn't have the motivation to want to do the work anyways, so they gave up real easily. One of my friends made a big deal about printing it, and it's really annoying when you tell someone you don't know but they keep questioning you for an answer.  I was like "I don't know if we have to print it!?!?" And she was like "... but I think I heard her say we needed to print it" I then told her "Well, that's nice...print it then. Ink is, well you know, expensive... so I'm not going to print it xD" But my friend tends to like to follow the rules a lot and questions everything -and I mean everything - that does not go with that rule. So she goes and says "I'm going to print it." I was just sitting there thinking, "ok..." it's like she expects that stating that she's going to print will make me want to print it xD. People are weird. We're not even sure if what we're doing is the correct work, so no way am I going to waste my ink. Ink is so damn expensive nowadays! Sigh~ so I'm going to save my ink for important stuff...like when I need to photocopy pages from manga ... lolz xD yea I'm weird like that. Thus! I cannot waste my ink on printing out a 10+ page test that I don't even know if I'm going to get extra credit for. Lolz I find using my ink for photocopying manga pages than printing out extra credit homework. No wonder some people call me weird (ok not some, everyone I know calls me that). And I don't do much with the manga pages. I just put them in my binder and look at them. Ok.. not really. xD that's kind of a waste. So I sometimes trace the manga pages and maybe change the wording in the bubbles. I suck at drawing, so I trace pictures. I'm a professional tracer (not something I can really brag about). But it's not as boring as it sounds. I sometimes creatively trace multiple pictures on the same piece of paper, combining them into one ^ ^ ... >.> which isn't anything new or original. I bet a lot of people do that. I'm planning on studying photoshop and illustrator over the summer so I can make epic computerized pictures! :D hm...but I'm a real procrastinator and a pretty lazy person, so I don't know how my learning of photoshop and illustrator will go...
So, do you have any wacko teachers who give you non-existing work?
And do you plan far into the future and probably never end up doing it?
that's all for today!
