Family Reunion and Spoons

Title's pretty self explanatory. I had a family reunion with a lot of members on my step dad's side of the family. We had a big dinner with loads of barbecue goodies. And my sister made a rocket ship cake for the occasion. A green one to be exact. After dinner, we played a nice friendly game of spoons. In case you aren't familiar with the game, it's a card game in which you are to match four of a kind (Ex: Say you have the card 5, you match it with the symbols[spades, diamonds, etc.]). And if you match all four cards, you have to grab a spoon and then everyone else dives for a spoon. And when I say dive, I literally mean DIVE. And there's also one less spoons then there are people. Also, I may suggest not wearing any fancy nail stuff and cutting your nails prior to playing spoons cause there is a possibility of getting a flesh wound.

Don't think I have much to do for the rest of the weekend. Start school again on Monday and then it's Labor Day weekend and Demyx month A.K.A September. 2010 PLEASE SLOW DOWN!

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,

Neverending Heat

Recently we've been getting this massive heat wave and it's no fun at all with the entire campus outside including the cafeteria. P.E has been a real pain as well with me not being the most athletic person in the world plus the heat of about one hundred degrees Fahrenheit equals one exhausted Eliza. No fun at all. Starting to get all of my textbooks with no locker to put them in so that's been insane as well. Luckily, this morning my step dad got to talk to one of the assistant principals and now me and my sister can put our stuff in his office if we don't really need it. Hopefully by Friday we get our actual lockers.


That's all I really have to say..just a little update.

XOXO,

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,

Sleepy..

I hate Thursdays. You wake up and think the week's gonna be over and it isn't. So then you have to go through two more days of school/work before you can take a two day breather. Anyway...

Third day of school has come and gone. I hate that freshmen and new kids don't get their lockers right away so they have to carry all their crap around for three days until Friday. Good thing they don't give us our textbooks right away..But I hate that they give us a load of homework on like the second day. What twisted school does that anyway? Well anyway, it's finally gonna be Friday tomorrow and that also means it's the Back To School Dance! Gonna go only probably for a little bit since it's from eight to eleven and I'll probably pass out even though that probably impossible with the possibility of music blasting in my ears...

So that's it for now and now I'm gonna talk to some of my peeps and watch some anime. Night everyone!

XOXO,
Liz

Back to the Books

I hate the first day of school cause it's really awkward and silent. And the teachers have to go through all the rules and regulations and all that stuff that makes you fall asleep and drool on your desk. Well..at least that was my day.

All my teachers are nice and not insane which is a good thing. I'm really happy that my English teacher has only lived here for a few weeks and he moved in from Chicago. I'm gonna love my English class I know it. I'm really happy that there's fifteen minutes of the day devoted to brunch. What I really love is that on Wednesdays they start school at 9 a.m and we have a whole 30 minutes with a teacher talking about college. So that's gonna be fun as well.

And..yeah that's pretty much my first day as a high school freshman. Yeah, not the most interesting first day of school ever but it's enough for me to type this up. G'night!

XOXO,

The Closing of Summer Vacation

So it's been a month since me and my sister moved to California. So far our days have been just sitting at home watching Deadly Women and RuPaul's Drag Race on T.V., reading, eating, and stalking people on Facebook. And we'd always do something with our parents on the weekends. Sadly, those days are coming to an end and tomorrow me and my sister start the new school year at our new high school. Marina will be starting her junior year and I'm starting my freshman year. We have new clothes and supplies for the year ready. Now all the madness will begin tomorrow morning. At least here in Cali I won't have to worry about snow days messing up the date for the end of the year. Yeah, I'm gonna miss the snow.

So that's it for this post, so I'm gonna do some Youtube roaming for the rest of the night and go to bed.

Night!

XOXO,

Softball and Salsa Dancing

Okay I gotta remember that my blog is ridiculously bright, colorful, and orange. Anywho...

Yesterday, I went out with Marina and my mom to a softball tournament for charity with a couple friends. I've never been to one and I've seen how intense this game can be (crap, I've lost the game). The last game was a bit sad though cause the winning team won seventeen to I think four. Yeah...That was a fun day though.

And today, me and Marina went out with the same friends that took us to the softball tournament to downtown San Jose for a jazz music festival. It was really fun cause we got to dance until our feet felt like they were gonna fall off. There were two stages: Blues and Salsa. We spent most of our time at the Salsa stage cause our friend, Jenn, had a cousin that was in one of the bands. They were really great and I don't remember a moment that me and my sister weren't dancing. We wandered to the Blues stage but it wasn't really that fun with everyone just sitting in lawn chairs. So we went home after that.

Let's see..I believe other than me reading a lot of James Patterson books recently there really isn't much going on. Think I'll go to bed now before I pass out on the keyboard and type up some random gibberish that doesn't make any sense. G'night!

XOXO,

Six Days and Counting

In about a week, I'll be starting my freshman year in high school. I just went to my freshman orientation today and got my schedule and school picture too. My picture didn't go as great as I thought it would but whatever. None of my school pictures are really great anyway. There really isn't much for me and my sister to buy at the store for school supplies since my step-dad has a nice load of stuff in his office.

My high school is very nice. The hallways and cafeteria are outside and we have brunch. Plus, on Wednesdays we start school at nine instead of eight. I'm not quite sure why but that's something new they're doing. It's only about a fifteen minute walk from my house so we won't be riding crowded buses anymore. No wonder there aren't any behavioral problems at this place; Everyone's flipping happy.

Well, that's all I have to write for now. Gonna go and watch some D.Gray-man. Good night!

XOXO,
Liz

La~

So yesterday, me and my sister went out with some friends a couple streets down from where we live. Went out to the lake on their boat. Me and my sister went tubing and I kinda screamed the entire time cause I'm a bit pathetic like that. Oh, and Marina tried to wake board but unfortunately, she did a bit of a face plant. Then, we stayed at their house, trying to beat their son, Ryan, at Little Big Planet, and making a very delicious blueberry pie. Parents came over for dinner and we all had some awesome pizza and of course the blueberry pie.

Today was the usual sit at home and watch T.V kind of day. Well, until after we ate dinner. Me, Marina, and our mom went out to the mall to do a bit of back to school shopping. And we kinda wandered around the mall looking for more places to shop and just to see what's in the mall. And then we came home listening to 80's music. Yeah, that's pretty much been our Friday. Don't really have much planned this weekend. Gotta remember to ask my mom to go to the library so I can return a couple books. Gonna spend the rest of the night probably watching stuff on Youtube. Night!

Love and Kisses,
Liz

August (ALREADY?!)

Where the heck did summer go? Did I just finish school one day and am magically in California starting high school the next? Sheesh..

So happy August (kinda..) everyone! Or as some of my Kingdom Hearts crazed fans of friends like to say: Happy Axel Month! Okay that random stuff is over. Just felt like typing up a new post so that I did.

See you guys when something that's actually eventful happens.

Love and Kisses,
Liz
