Vampire Fish People

Doctor Who just gets more interesting with every new alien.

Friday, as the pictures show, was the homecoming parade. Obviously Anime and Manga club and GSA was in it so it was fun. I still laugh a little seeing the Proud 2 "bee" LGBT poster we made. C'mon you gotta admit it's cute, right? It would've been better if I wasn't getting hot and I didn't become exhausted afterwards. Wasn't my day when I didn't feel like doing anything in Algebra 2 or Spanish 3.

Best part was that a little later I finally got to see Steven when we picked him up from the airport! I'm so happy to finally see him. Stayed up with him last night watching part of the fifth season of Dexter which was awesome! I've never fully payed attention to the other seasons but I know enough from Wikipedia and I remember some parts of the last season. After that I was somehow pulled into adding horror movies he wanted to watch so he told me to add, of all things, The Human Centipede.

For anyone wondering what it is, don't even think about it. It is one of the most disturbing movies in the universe and I curse myself for looking up trailers to that when someone told me to. Ugh.. Just makes me shudder thinking about it.

I only stayed up to see the first thirty minutes which really began like a stereotypical horror film: Go out to see friends, get a flat tire, don't know how to change or fix it or you don't have the necessary tools, in the middle of nowhere (depending when it's taking place: no cell reception), go out to look for help, end up in a creepy person's home, story goes off on its own from there.

After that I passed out and went to bed before it got really messed up. So here's some morals for horror films:

1. Know how to fix a tire or how to change one

2. If you try to get help in a foreign country, know some basic phrases so you actually get help.

3. If you do seek for help nearby, do not go into a person's house to use their phone unless they look perfectly sane.

And that's all I have to say on that subject.

So now I'm back to my normal school week tomorrow. I seriously need to get some fabric selected for my Mad Hatter costume. God bless my mother have giant plastic tubs of assorted fabric.

OMG Dr. Phil!!

The only thing on TV on a Wednesday afternoon besides a recording of Doctor Who and that's Dr. Phil..

Had no school on Tuesday due to Furlough day and if you don't live in California, it pretty much means, "We're getting budget cuts and can't have school on this day. Have a nice day off." One of the sad things about living in California and it's that we're broke...

Anyway, bright side is that after a day off we get to go to school later for advisory day. And today was twin day and me and my friend Jamie dressed up as Italy and Romano from Hetalia. Tried to pull off a curl but since my hair is already curly it kinda fails... Even with hair gel. I tried to give myself spiky hair but it just made my hair a blobby mess of gel and goo... Fail big time.

I now love my dance teacher because she's considering doing the dance we're learning and taking all of her classes and doing a flash mob on campus. The only problem is getting people to learn the dance and get it perfect if we were to do a flash mob. I still love the idea and I'm hoping that we could be able to do a flash mob.

In GSA today we just discussed about making posters for the homecoming parade and that'll be done tomorrow during Food Fair which we couldn't sell energy drinks even though there are people selling our back up plan, root beer floats, and coffee. Oh well... hopefully we'll get things situated to do the next food fair.

Oh and we got to wrap up a kid in advisory in toilet paper and make them a mummy. Nice to finally be doing something fun for once in that class.

And I'm so glad to finally be getting a new seat tomorrow in Algebra 2 because I can finally have some focus without having the feeling to rip out my hair. Second time's a charmer cause I asked before to get a different seat but I couldn't be moved without putting a troublesome kid next to the kid I'm sitting next to. But the teacher decided to move me towards the front and trade places with another kid. Now I'll be in a nice happy place.

Ugh.. I just want it to be Friday cause then I get to see my stepbrother Steven for the first time in... I dunno a couple years? He's in the Air Force so cause he's busy so much he hasn't come to see us in the longest time but we still have contact. He's even coming with us to Costa Rica for New Years' too. So I'm gonna be super psyched to see him soon.

XOXO,

AAAGGGHHH! GET IT OUT OF MY BRAIN!

I'm talking about Taylor Swift. My Biology teacher decided to use a Taylor Swift CD as a device of torture to get us to work. Not so fun for my brain that's half destroyed now. The scary part was all a few guys singing along with the song You Belong With Me. Now I'm glad that I drained out her music with the Sitar Song.

I really don't like Taylor Swift that much. Her music is basically the same thing with different lyrics. A girl crying because she can't be with this one guy. I liked Teardrops on My Guitar before I found out what the song meant. Now it's just kinda..blah whatever.

Anyway now that my part of silliness is over..

It's Breast Cancer Awareness week here which means another week of dressing up all ridiculous and no one questioning it. It's all mainly wear pink so it's not as interesting as homecoming week but whatever. Homecoming dance this week since last week the football players and people like that wouldn't have had the chance to go. I won't go cause it's a casual dance like the Back to School dance..so that probably means it'll look like an orgy again. Not exactly fun for people who want to actually dance. But hey, me and my sister are having a party on Saturday so it doesn't really matter.

So that's all for this mini update. Stay cool everyone!

XOXO,

RAIN!

Finally David Bowie answers my prayers for rain! Being from Indiana, I'm used to it raining about every other day. Being in California, now I'm limited to rain at a certain time of year. Well today was the day it has decided to actually rain and not sprinkle. So I'm very happy for that.

Last week in school, it was the school's homecoming week which was pretty cool. The only interesting days were twin day, camouflage day, and mismatch day. The other days were represent your class and school colors so..yeah. Mismatch day was a lot of fun cause it gives you a reason to dress ridiculous and no one questions it. I got to wear knee high rainbow socks with blue converse which made me really happy.

Had a field trip to a wetland place of sorts (don't remember name hahaha..). It was really cool other than seeing a decapitated rat in the middle of a trail. Dissected an owl pellet (sorta) and got to see some freaky stuff through a microscope. Loved that so much more than I probably would have back at school. It was the day of the homecoming parade which I heard wasn't any good and everyone was forced to watch it. Guess it's a good thing I went on that field trip. Didn't go to the homecoming game cause I have no attention span for high school football. That and if you boo you get in trouble and if the entire crowd boos the entire team forfeits..which is a really pointless rule. Also I went to a birthday party.

Birthday party was for our friend Jenn's sister, Giselle. Me and my mom brought salsa, mango salsa, and guacamole...all magically disappeared probably within the first hour we came in with it. The cake was chocolate with raspberry sauce and it was awesome. Got to meet this two adorable kids named Kuliano and Nyala...and yes those are their names..Kuliano's a boy and Nyala's a girl...Now I regret not kidnapping them cause they were so cute!!

Aah..nothing like spending your Sunday inside watching the rain fall and watching football...that is unless you're like my friend Raven who's ticked cause she can't watch the Simpsons. Saw the Eagles game and the 49ers game and am about to watch the Colts game. WOOT!

XOXO,

It's Todd Now...Sweeney Todd

So just last night I watched, obviously as the title states, the 2007 version of Sweeney Todd for the first time ever. Why? Cause nothing else is on Thursday nights and my sister pointed it out for me to see. I have to say other than a very sad ending, it was a very good movie. Johnny Depp makes a very handsome, singing, psycho barber from Fleet Street. Tim Burton never ceases to amaze.

Today was very boring at school. I blame the fact that Jamie wasn't here today and she has to be at the New York Comic Con as an early birthday present. But the bright side is that she's gonna try to get autographs from M. Night Shyamalan, Cary Elwes and Yuri Lowenthal.

These October days have been pretty cold lately. I don't think Halloween's gonna be real fun on trick-or-treating night. And yes, at age fourteen I still go trick-or-treating, cause it's free candy every year and I love candy! Going as a ghost and yes that means I'm getting a bed sheet with holes in it and throwing over my head...cause I can and I will.

I have to say the only bad part about October is that nothing good is on T.V or in the movie theaters. Horror's not really my style with the exception of some stuff like M. Night Shyamalan films and, of course, Tim Burton. But other than their movies everything else is just crap in my opinion. And plus my mom doesn't like me seeing that crap anyway so...yeah...heheheh...

School's been a little blah...the only class I don't like is my Geometry class...only cause very little people pay attention and choose to not care about their education. Then again it's like that in my English class. It's the only thing I can't stand about school is those who choose to act like morons and not care about their future lives. It's distracting and no one gets anything done which ticks me off cause I actually want to learn. Oh well, still able to get good grades in all of my classes so nothing bad is going on.

Homecoming week next week...blah once more...I'm not much into school spirit for whatever reason...I think it's cause high school football bores me to sleep. I only have attention span for football if it's on T.V. and I'm in the comfort of either my or a friend's house..I dunno what it is but football live doesn't do well with me..anyway...I may do some days if they're fun for me...laaa..

XOXO,
