  • Salutations!

    I went to the Impulse (my school's dance group) show today, which was pretty entertaining!  It was actually an accidental process; I meant to watch the show on Friday with my mom, but I called her and she told me to go see the matinĂ©e show because she had to study for an exam, so I stayed around school and attended, taking pictures with Phuc's camera during the performance.  I was excited to see Phap, which was probably the only person I knew closely enough to squeal a "Omg, you were great out there!" to after her performance.  Phap was actually my first friend at Monterey Trail; I met Danielle first, but I bonded with Phap before, when I sat next to her in Honors English 9.  Happily, since I came with Phuc but he needed to tend to the booth upstairs so I was sitting by myself, Phap sat next to me after she was done performing. 

    I'm tartling on her name right now, but one of the girls has the cutest expression when she dances.  *kept trying to get a picture but she too fast*  COINCIDENTALLY, THE PREMIERE OF "SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE" IS TODAY.  Awesome?  I think so.

    My SAT scores from .. whenever I took it .. came in today, and I got a
    1960!  :D   I am unfortunately very fail at keeping up with things, so
    for a long time I didn't know what score was bad and what score was
    good.  I have a bit of an idea now, but at least Phuc tells me that
    it's good, so I believe him.  So yay.

    Regarding American Idol -- because what kind of American Idol devotee doesn't blog about AI after the finale? -- I fell asleep during the last half hour of the finale.  LMAO.  Phuc thankfully called me towards the end, and I woke up to David Cook singing with fireworks shooting behind him.  I was very, "I GUESS HE'S THE WINNER, K."  lul

    I swear to God, Cat Deeley from So You Think You Can Dance has lifeless eyes as a host, but it's the strangest thing because I absolutely loved her when she was a guest on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, WITH brightness and shimmering in her eyes.  What is up with her as a host?  She is harassing my cheerfulness with her eyes.

    There's a lot of people at my school that I wish I were close friends with, yet I'm not.  The people at MTHS are just way cool. 

    *still needs to sign up for crc classes gg*  I'm extremely worried about my "C" in Mr. Williams class, especially since he has never posted grades except for a random "C" on my progress report, despite doing all of the homework and doing quite efficiently on practice tests and in-class essays and the like.  That fool needs to post grades up.

    meow

    Bye for now!

  • Hai!

    I'm excited because Ms. Tran really liked the mock yearbook that Phuc and I made for her class today.  I love Ms. Tran, and it's exciting that at least elements of our theme are definitely going to be in next year's MTHS yearbook. :)

    And I'm probably not going to shop for pants at Old Navy again anytime soon.  I'm sure I'll return eventually, because the prices in that entire clearance section are overwhelmingly sexy fairly attractive, but I had my first experience -- D: -- with my pants tearing in public yesterday.  I got a pair of light gray jeans (which I later learned is quite out of style, lmao) and on the first day I wore them, I sat down after turning in my Physics test and the seam on the thigh just DIED.  On the first day of wearing them!  Luckily, with the ever-subtle shield that is JACKET, Phuc was the only one that noticed, mostly because I told him. 

    When I came into Old Navy today to return the pants, prepared with a lengthy demand for them to accept the return, the customer service lady had an attitude like it was a common experience with returned clothing.  Suspicion?!  At least that trauma wasn't the trademark Omg-Everyone-Can-See-My-Booty tear.  Thank God.  And despite the lack of quality in the jeans I purchased, I really like the shirt I bought. x]

    Also, Ducky, my kitty that I could've sworn was just really fat, had three babies a few days back.  Here's a spazzed out photo of less-than-a-day old kittens:

    One of the littluns unfortunately didn't make it through the heat and passed on last
    evening, but the other two are looking healthy and extremely spazzy. 
    I'm a little worried about one because it has some trouble finding pink
    sources of milk, but if it's made it through the last four days like
    that, I'm sure it'll manage until we can start feeding it some kitten
    food. 

    The other kitty, the one who seems to ALWAYS be attached to Ducky's nips, looks suspiciously
    like Taco.  I can't hardly imagine seven-month-old Taco mounting Ducky,
    but then again I still think that everyone in high school's a virgin,
    so who am I to say anything?  Ducky's a lot nicer than Ed, so she
    always lets me pet her babies and lets me see them.  Sometimes she even
    rolls back a little so that I have a better view.  This is her first
    litter, so I'm happy with how content she looks when she's nursing her
    children.

    I'm personally earnestly excited to have children one day.  Out of my friends in San Jose, I was remarkably the only "typical girl," the girl that daydreamed about the details of her wedding and her children.  I've planned out the Sunday dresses that I want on my daughter, all the embarrassing nicknames that I'll give my son so I can tell his future girlfriend about them.  But I just die a little inside because I also know about how I'm going to cry when my child goes off to kindergarten, and how I'll bawl when my son tells me not to call him by anymore embarrassing nicknames because he's "not a baby anymore."  I'm going to be such a teary mother.  I'm going to be crying more than she is whenever she falls down and gets a boo-boo.  I can't imagine my child being anything other than a complete angel.  No poop, screaming, or me-me-me twosies!  At least definitely not in my daydreams!

    So people never have sex, yet I'm going to have a baby one day.
    let'sforgetthatpartlol

    *shot*

    IMO, Ruben Studdard abruptly jumping in at the extreme last second of the AI finale was silly.
    And IMO, the politicians are totally saying "peas and carrots" when they rabble in the South Park episode "Two Days Before the Day After Tomorrow."

    Bye for now!

  • *spaz*

    So I'm finally at the age where even I can no longer hide from the apparentness that EVERYONE'S DOING IT.

    AND IT'S GROSS!
    D:

    I had the epiphany that I'm not a little kid anymore when I realized I'm at the age that I double-protect the school toilet seats in fear of contracting herpes and syphilis and all sorts of gonorrhea!  Since then, I uncomfortably overhear things about the intimate lives of my classmates ("we did it in the baseball field, in his sister's bed, omgz totallyyyyyyy").  I mean, I was nothing less than the most mature person ever in my Sexual Education lessons in middle school and freshman year (so maybe i giggled at some penis diagrams, and epididymis is just a funny word to say), and I even managed to struggle through explaining to Lisa what a clitoris is, but I just get so antsy and uncomfortable when it's about personal experiences. 

    On all accounts, I can't imagine anyone having anything less than two layers of clothing on, much less think of any of my classmates being anything less than the PUREST SOULS EVER.  I MAY BE WRONG, BUT STILL.  I CAN DREAM.  ;_;  Just turn away from that girl whose boobies are just TOTALLY OUT THERE.  Just turn away, Christa! 

    Though I usually never can.  It's like those things where something is just so shocking and gruesome (though i suppose "gruesome" isn't the right word, lol) that no matter how much you want to turn away, you simply can't.  I like to tell myself that's why guys turn heads at girls with voluptuous chests: "What a hideous sight!  I must look!"

    I'm (mostly) fine with what people do in their private lives, and I understand when they want to tell their closest, most trustworthy friends about it (even though i'm still uncomfortable with it when you tell me, but at least i can pretend i'm mature), but when you're showing cell phone pictures of your waxed cootchie to your classmates and CHRISTA ACCIDENTALLY SEES AND BECOMES TERRIBLY TRAUMATIZED FOR LIFE, I think that's crossing a few lines!

    I was talking about this with my AP English group the other day, and Phuc possibly every other day, but it's become a more major topic in my everyday going-ons as Phuc and I are enduring our first experience with a friend (more of an acquaintance for me, but still) becoming a teenage mother, and more and more people seem to grow affectionate of discussing the intimate details of their private lives with each other while within my space bubble. 

    Regardless, as far as I'm concerned, everyone's a virgin and all boys look like Ken dolls! D:

    Go Ken, go spread your inspiring penis-less influence on my male classmates so that I don't have to accidentally overhear their loud stories about "TOTALLY GIVING IT TO HER" that make me hide under Phuc's jacket anymore! D:

    Anguished, I am now off to continue procrastinating on my homework.

    Bye for now!
    ;_;

  • *explosion*

    Well, it doesn't look like I'll have my usual summer of ultra bumminess!  Michelle and my counselor Mr. Nguyen gave me advice on taking summer classes at CRC (thanks michelle!), so I'm probably going to take a science class over the summer.  Phuc and I have also been applying for jobs, so I might finally not be broke all the time!  *secretly really wants to bum over summer though*  I'm feeling a lot more sure in majoring in Nursing for college, after all that research in Intermediate Computers and such.  I followed through with researching Holy Names, and it suuuuucks, so I traded it out of my college choices with UCLA.  Lol.

    AP testing's over, and it wasn't as horrible as AP World History was last year.  I feel.. competent about my US History test, and I feel pretty good about my AP English test as a whole.  Next year, I'll be in AP Composition, AP Statistics, and Honors Spanish 3 (MTHS screwed me over when it didn't fit in my schedule this year and didn't tell me! D:). 

    I'm gonna be in Theater again, since I have nothing much to trade it with, and the class would be good for public speaking practice that I've been lacking throughout junior year. o.o;  The octave of my voice has gone higher since Phuc has made me perpetually happy and gleeful, so Miz Townsend finds my voice whiney lmaoo, so I need to try a lot harder to use my diaphragm.  I actually did really well in that class when I took it freshman and sophomore year -- I was even chosen to perform my monologue at the Sacramento State Lenaea festival, albeit a mediocre score -- but the IDEA of having to perform in front of all those people and having to memorize all those scenes and monologues again is really unappealing. o__o and omg i hated improv warm-ups

    i should do physics hw

    lol okay bye

    P.S. Happy belated Mother's Day! :o

  • GIGGITY?

    <Edit> SANDRA IS EPIC WIN? </Edit>
    Lol.  So I signed up for the SAT Subject Tests this morning before school, and during fifth period, Michelle Lam told Phuc and I that the Lit test was everything that hard and difficult wishes that it could possibly be, and all the online peoples agree, but I already paid for my tests so I can't change them unless I pay a fee! D:  *emos out*  Apparently it's great if you're in AP Literature (lmao *junior*), so I'm fairly emo about having to take that test, because my parents aren't willing to pay the fee.  D;  I guess I'll have to kick booty on U.S. History and Physics, gross; I only need two subject tests to go to a UC, at least.  I'm really hoping now that I did well (or at least tolerable) on the SAT Reasoning test so that I can use my fee waiver to retake my Subject Tests senior year. >_>  Granted, UC Davis, Berkeley, and Stanford (lol what a long shot) are the only schools on my list I need the subject tests for, but UCDAVISFIRSTCHOICE?!  I also really need to research Holy Names, because it's really growing on me. >.>;

    On a far happier note, I LOVE MY SEA MONKEYS.  They're not born yet though, lol.  I put their eggs into the aquarium today, and I'm just so stoked about them.  :D   When I realized I couldn't change my tests, I ran to my sea-monkeys and stared at the little red eggs floating the water and felt a lot better.  I researched sea-monkeys, and apparently it looks like they're seizing when they give birth. o_o *a little scared*

    Also, those three months of no time with Phuc during tennis is really making me appreciate any time that I'm able to fit in with him now. :]  Our date yesterday totally spoiled me, and today I came over and we made fried rice then took a nap, lool.  wee!  It'd be really cool if we didn't break up. :x   I hope we stay together during college!

    UGH I NO WANNA TAKE NO AP TEST

    *runs away to study ap us history*

  • Happppehhhh birthdayyyy Joeveeee! :]

    Lmao, I celebrated on my side by coincidentally scheduling Phuc and I's first date together today.  I mean, we've been dating for two and a half years, and we've been out together and stuff, but today was our first grown-up kind of date where we went to a restaurant and had dinner. :3  Phuc has an awesome summary up in our couple blog (lmao mebbe we're lame, wut) ovah here: [link].  It was so much fuuun!  :]  Phuc even let me go shopping afterwards; I LOVE SHOPPING. x]  Omg I got Sea Monkeys!  They're hopefully gonna hatch in three days!  *stoked*

    I took the SATs last Saturday, and it was like "whooooa i have no time to eat my bagel!"  I probably thought about that more than the test itself, because besides a couple of snags, it didn't feel too hard.  *lol if i have score of 300 or something omg wut knock on wood*

    Also, last weekend was opening weekend for Seussical!  I must say, it all went wonderful, although I sure felt tired when I got home at like 10 at night. :]  Phuc's doing lights and I've been relocated from my regular Stage Manager job for spotlighting, so we get to fit in quality time whenever we have breaks from our cues.  FUN?!  YES!  :D

    I've surprisingly been studying for the AP US History test, although very lightly, and I TOTALLY didn't realize that the test was this Friday until just this morning. ;-; I don't feel very prepared.  I can whip up information about like, the yellow press and containment and shat, which is more prepared than I was for AP World History last year, but I still need to study more. ;-;

    LOLK
    *runs away*
