Merry Turkey-mas

My family went to a friends' house to have a big dinner with family and friends. We made a lot more turkey than we needed and we had a lot of other food too. Along with the turkey there was ham, mashed potatoes (with cheese!!), sweet potatoes, rolls, gravy, salad, my mom's mlince which is to die for (Croatian dish that's basically tortillas burned a little over a flame and then has turkey drippings in it. Pure bliss), and pie. Prior to dinner, all I had was a piece of fruit and some Coca-Cola. No joke. I really wanted to save up for the mass amounts of food to come and it worked. Had room for seconds and two pieces of pumpkin pie. And sadly watched the 49ers lose their game against the Ravens but whatever.

Like sane shoppers my family is, we took no participation in Black Friday. I really don't see a point because people are crazy to get items for cheap at a small stock. It's nothing but pure insanity. People are trampled to death because other people want to get in the store first and I just saw on the news a woman used pepper spray and injured ten people for an XBox 360 at half price. I mean seriously?? You're gonna injure/possibly kill people for a stupid electronic for your kid? How stupid can you get?! It completely amazes me how Black Friday is still in existence to this day. People start fights and some are trampled to death to get some item of their desire for a super low price.

If there's something that barely exists in the 21st century it's common sense.

So the day of giving thanks is over and now it's the season of jolly and holly and other things ending with olly (Reference to The Hogfather for those who don't get it). My mom got me and my sister to get out all the Christmas stuff and now the tree is up, decorated, and giving me a headache due to the tremendous amount of lights; most blinking in crazy fashions. We have new stockings, multiple decorations chilling around the house, and eleven small trees, one of which has a Purdue University theme, are scattered about the house. Even the palm tree in our house has green lights on it.

I don't really want too much for Christmas. I mean just some sort of materials for writing and drawing, shopping money, and love from my family and friends is all I will really need. Not going anywhere during the Christmas season but on New Year's my family will be going out to Costa Rica.

Oh God I just remembered I have school on Monday. No biggie though. My only assignment was to get some books on a current issue for a report and I did so everything's peachy keen. But everything will be crazy in the upcoming weeks due to finals coming up in just a few weeks. Thank God the play's over so I can finally get some proper sleep knowing I got my homework done on time.

XOXO,

Whole World Has Fallen To Ruins

And poor Chessur's off his tea..Hahaha..Sorry if the title made it seem like I was sad or something. Don't worry. I'm as happy as can be!

School week was a bit boring. Not much new happening. Jamie created a cosplay group and we hope to do all sorts of crazy stuff.

Me and Marina had our Halloween party yesterday which was a great success. Ate some good food, danced like monkeys and watched Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. Had a great time with my friends.

Nothing new I think is happening this week. Day of the Dead project in Spanish and usual stuff in all my other classes..Oh! It's also Jamie's birthday tomorrow. She's gonna have a party on Saturday. I'm making her a birthday card with a few anime characters on it. Then Sunday is Halloween which is also Trick-or-Treating night. Yes I am going to do that cause it's free candy every year. I'm gonna be a ghost. Not the most original but hey, I'm poor. Hahaha

XOXO,

Techno Twister Shin Dig Boi!

As the title of this post says, me and my sister had our little party today.

We had a lot of our friends come over and of course we played a few rounds of ghetto twister, which again is twister with electrical tape on the carpet. We had intellectual chats for whatever reason which is always fun. Got out my mom's belly dancing stuff and danced to Lady Gaga. Ate some quesidillas and drank two liters worth of Pepsi and ate all the cupcakes we made. Yep, that was a success. That's usually how all of our parties go. I still find it funny that a lot of people said I would have fun at some stupid football game hanging out with friends.

Back story on that...So apparently my school does this El Toro Bowl thing which is a major football game. And a nice majority of the school goes to said football game and a lot of people don't even pay attention they just hang out with friends. To be honest, I could do that anytime, anywhere but a football game? No..Sorry but football just bores me to death and I don't really want to sit out in the cold talking to friends when I could be at home watching the Rocky Horror Picture Show discussing with friends why this movie is just plain bizarre. Anyway...

School starts again on Monday...won't have a major party until next month with our Halloween party where of course we go out and trick or treat in some awesome costumes. And yes I do love to trick or treat still and I probably will never grow out of it cause who doesn't like dressing up and getting free candy every year?

Well..Night me lovelies!

Anime/Manga Club

Weekend's gone which means school's up and running once again.

Went to the mall this weekend with Jamie. We spent most of our time reading manga in Border's where I just so happen to have gotten a nosebleed. It was a bit funny cause my friend came out of the manga section for tissues and when she asked a couple guys for tissues they stared at her for a bit and pointed her towards some napkins. Very funny moment there.

Today being Tuesday, it officially makes it Anime/Manga Club day! It's just full of awesomeness. An entire thirty minutes of lunch devoted to talking to psycho otakus about our favorite anime and manga. Makes one happy Eliza! And the pocky helps the cause as well.

Can't wait for Saturday. That's me and my sister's Techo Twister Shin Dig(name created by some of her friends). True to its name, it's a party with techno music and the game Twister..well Ghetto Twister that is. Instead of using the mat thingamabob, we use colorful electrical tape and tape it to the carpet and the person who's supposed to use the spinner turns evil and doesn't use the spinner and calls out whatever color and body part. It's gonna be crazy cause we got orange as an extra color.

That's it for now, so I'm gonna eat some of my mom's cooking for the first time in a few days and watch some T.V.

Ciao, me lovelies!

XOXO,

Labor Day Weekend

Well with Labor Day weekend drawing to a close that means school is starting back up tomorrow.

Me and my family went out with some friends on their boat today. Nothing too special to report. I'm just psyched to get to see Jamie and Akane again. That's pretty much the only thing that makes me want to crawl out of bed at 6:40 in the morning to go to school: Seeing my friends. Sucks that I don't have any classes with them so I have to make friends along the way. Oh well, it's good to make new friends right?

XOXO,

WTF (Wednesday Thursday Friday)

So it's Friday..Finally! Me and my sister's computer still isn't working so we have to use our mom's computer for the time being. Anyway...

So today we got our lockers..sort of. Marina hasn't gotten her locker for whatever weird reason and I got my locker but the combination doesn't work. I thought I wasn't jotting down my combination right cause it's so weird and confusing so I asked two upperclassmen to help me open up my locker and it still wouldn't open. So I went to the office to talk to someone about it and guess what? The office was loaded with other kids with the exact same problem. 180 other students to be exact. It apparently has something to do with the new computer system or something that's messing everything up. Of course me and Marina still can use one of the assistant principal's office to store our crap until we can get the locker situation worked out. Oh well...it's the weekend and I don't feel like worrying so much about that now.

We had some friends over for a big dinner with lasagna, garlic bread, salad, atomic pie, the whole she-bang. And then we played a little game of Settlers (requires loads of strategy). And for tomorrow..Family reunion! So my house is gonna be filled with people and food. Lots of my mom's cooking.

Well, that's it for now. Gonna do some online role playing with my friend Kelly. G'night.

XOXO,
Liz

Weekend La~

First week of school is over! I thought Friday would never come. I ended the school day with making a couple of new friends: A Japanese foreign exchange student named Akane and an awesome anime and Kingdom Hearts fan girl named Jamie. Best day of my life!

After having some neighbors over for a nice big dinner, me and my sister went out to the first school dance with our new friends. To be honest, that dance was not that great. All of the music was horrible and the D.J kept mixing up everything so you couldn't hear just one song. And looking like you're having sex with clothes on is in no way, shape or form equivalent to dancing. So I kinda spent most of my time outside with Jamie talking about anime. But it was nice to get to know some new friends and do something other than sit at home all afternoon and night.

XOXO,
