*Yawn*

My weekends aren't long enough. The week back from a long vacation feels like an eternity. Doesn't help that along with piles of homework, I stay after school for another 2 and 1/2 hours to help build the set for the upcoming musical. I'm so tired I forget to do the fun stuff that I want to do like finish writing and finish reading The Hunger Games.

Speaking of while I'm on the topic, I am barely finished with The Hunger Games and I already love it so much! It has just everything I love in a book: suspense, action, romance and awesome characters. I hope to get it finished before the movie comes out.

For anyone who has no clue what this book is about, here's a plot synopsis:

In the ruins of a place known as North America, there exists a nation known as Panem. In this country, there is a great Capitol with twelve districts. Previously, there were thirteen but the thirteenth district led a rebellion against the Capitol and was destroyed. As punishment to keep the remaining districts in line, each of the twelve must send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games. The Hunger Games is a great game which pitches the twenty four competitors against each other in a battle of survival (on live TV) where the winner receives glory and fame forever. Our focus is on Katniss Everdeen, a sixteen-year-old girl from District Twelve who takes her sister's place in the games. As the story progresses, we read her struggles of survival in these horrid games and what she deems is right and wrong of her country.

A very suspenseful novel that keeps you wondering what's gonna happen next with characters you get attached to and love. Highly recommend it if you have nothing to read.

Now on top of reading The Hunger Games, I'm also starting to read Fahrenheit 451 for my English class as we begin to focus on Modernism. Hopefully it's as good as it sounds.

I've actually been thinking of a plot for my own original dystopia idea. Maybe after I finish this one story, I can start writing it out. I know it's gonna be a good story.

I may forget to update this blog for a while since starting next weekend the musical director wants people to come in during the weekend for rehearsal for God knows how long. So I will be too tired to remember to do stuff (Hopefully I won't forget any upcoming homework...)

Before I go I thought I'd share this to my manga artists out there. My darling friend Kelly told me to look up a guy named Mark Crilley who is a manga artist and has many videos on Youtube giving out tips on how to draw in the manga/anime style. Here's just one of his videos. Enjoy!

Unexpected Weekend

Whoa how long was I gone from Blogger? This new posting stuff looks funny... Well whatever.

Hell week has passed with long days of studying and NEW material being covered BEFORE Finals. Talk about disorganization huh? Luckily I got all my studying stuff and have been going over a little bit before tomorrow. We get half days so for the first time in six months I have to sit still in my classes for two whole hours. Luckily we get a brunch in between and by 12:30 it's lunch and we get to leave. Only have to deal with three days of mayhem and testing and then we're on break for a couple weeks.

For this Christmas vacation, likely chance says we're going to a friend's house again for a Christmas party. And come New Year's the family's going down to Costa Rica and we'll be spending a few days surrounded by jungle. Sadly the status of my step brother, Steven, coming is kinda low seeing as how he's been having trouble with his passport. But hopefully that'll get fixed and he'll be able to come. Nothing like spending a week surrounded by nature. It'll be a photographer's paradise.

So this has been a rather unusual weekend.

For starters my step dad found a kitten chilling at our house and fed it and eventually brought her into the house. He wanted to keep it and named her Butter. Why? I really have no clue. My step dad loves cats ever since we reunited with our cat Chip and he also is allergic. Not quite sure how that works. But now we have a new addition to the family who has given mixed feelings to our other four animals. Maggie wants to be friends but fails to remember that she's 140 pounds compared to a tiny kitten who's a few months old by our educated guess. Stella is ecstatic about a new friend and Butter seems pretty mellow around her. Chip has no clue she exists (poor old man), but Butter hissed at him so she doesn't like him. And as for the used to be baby of the bunch, Kline, is losing his mind. It's actually the first time anyone's heard him make a hiss. Butter appears healthy despite some fleas which we gave medication for and she loves everyone.

And another unexpected event happens to be the death of the North Korean leader Kim Jong Il. How's that for shocking? A reporter apparently claimed that he died from "overwork" after "dedicating his life to the people" AKA a possibly stress-induced heart attack. Nothing like falling out of power via heart attack, eh? So from what I saw South Korea placed an "emergency alert" and now that Kim's dead who knows what'll happen? Let's just keep our fingers crossed that North Korea will be one less power crazed country to worry about.

Well time to get back to reading Homestuck. Best comic ever!

XOXO,

I want it to be Thanksgiving already..

So a three day weekend has passed and the next vacation won't be until next week when he have the entire week off for Thanksgiving.

Thursday went by ending with a bunch of homework, of all days before a three day weekend.. By the end of this week we have to finish talking about the industrial revolution and finish reading Julius Caesar. And drama had their Chile's night which was sooo filling. Nothing like a bacon cheeseburger to end my night.

With Veteran's day off and nothing to do, I decided to have my movie party. Got help from my step dad to set up an old VCR he had cause I seriously wanted to watch The Thief and the Cobbler. Look it up cause it's an awesome animated movie. Along with that we also watched The Producers (2005 version) and Hetalia: Paint it White! My friend Jamie got it on that day and was able to come over so we could watch it. Everyone got their fill of Hetalia for the day making a bunch of happy otaku girls.

Weekend went by uneventfully with really nothing to do. God, I don't even remember yesterday. Oh yeah... I helped finish building the set for the school play that's coming out this Thursday. The set looks just great and made Mrs Brown so happy. It looks like my great grandmother's house and we love it! My sister and I even got a hug too she was so happy.

I feel kinda bad she can't be all bubbly like that in my first period class because she has to put up with a bunch of obnoxious kids who can't shut up. She had to give a girl a referral to the office because she lost all of her participation points for the day. Sounds harsh but I can't blame Mrs Brown if I was in her position. I'd be losing my mind. Heh, actually I'm losing my mind because I have to be in the same room with these people. It really annoys me when people just stop caring about their grades and would rather fail than try at all. And it sucks cause it happens in Algebra 2 as well. I swear I'm gonna lose my mind the next time I hear someone say "When are we gonna ever use this later in life?" Is it really THAT difficult to just do the stupid homework? You need three years to graduate so deal with it! Math is used for pretty much EVERYTHING. Without math, the human race wouldn't exist right now and neither would all the technology we use. So just use the brain God gave you and think before you say crap like that.

I just irritated when people think they know everything when they don't and it annoys me and I'm sure a lot of other people too. Not just in academics but in the music we listen too as well. Like Lady Gaga and Marilyn Manson. I just get so mad when people bash on music artists for the stuff they create. If no one has seen Lady Gaga's music video to Judas, you can imagine how many people would go berserk to someone portraying themselves as Mary Magdalene. I gotta admit that when it first came out, I was really shocked that Lady Gaga went that far with her music career but hey, it grew on me. I like her music and that song because it's about FORGIVENESS. Take a few minutes to let the song go through your head and you'll understand. It has nothing to do with her bashing religion, or being stupid and a slut which she isn't. People, she went to Julliard for God's sake! Lady Gaga is actually a smart person. She's just different because she wants to be an idol that says "It's okay to be yourself" and that's what she is doing and is proud of it.

It's the same thing with Marilyn Manson. He's a unique guy and I just feel like bashing someone's head in every time someone blames him for contributing to violence and murders which he DOES NOT. My friend Maribeth loves Marilyn Manson (She even has a sweater that she was wearing when she hugged him) I have not seen any violent behavior out of that girl. Marilyn Manson grew up in a rather messed up childhood which led to a rebel phase when he was in high school. He makes music so kids who're like him feel that there's one in society where they will be accepted instead of feeling like they're freaks. It's all going back to being yourself and proud of who you are.

Wow... I did not expect this rant to come out..

XOXO,

Chinese food. Yum

Another weekend of homework, relaxation and movies.. and now Chinese food. It's the reason I've been liking broccoli for years... Though this time I got more broccoli than beef so I'm full.

Another good week of school has passed. Played some entertaining Jeopardy in anime club and played the Dating Game in Drama club and stayed after school for set building for the play. Wasn't really that great since only about six people showed up and no one knew how to use the buzz saw which is kinda surprising to me. Doesn't help much that the director can be quite stubborn... But anyway I hope more people come and we get stuff done in time for the play which is in less than three weeks.

Academic wise the new quarter's going good. So far it's all A's and I'm doing great in my classes. Started tap dancing in dance class and I feel like just bursting out in dancing to great jazz music. My English class began reading Julius Caesar. Yep. Shakespeare.

And this past week was Anti-Drug week so people dressed up. And people will be dressing up on Monday for, you guessed it, Halloween. I'm really excited to show people my Mad Hatter costume and to see others as well.

Y'know I kinda wonder what happened to the purpose of Halloween. I mean it's a holiday where you dress up as generally something scary. Yet I see girls in short skirts and revealing tops and a lot of women's costumes that look that way. If that's scary then it's pretty scary indeed. Hahaha.

I love thinking back to what I was years before when I went out trick or treating. Lemme see... As far back as I can remember, I was Blossom from the Powerpuff girls when I was four. Heh. The costume came with the huge eyes that I didn't wear but I wore the wig/hair and dress. I don't remember who I was when I was five but I'm pretty sure I was a princess. That was my trend for a couple years to go as some sort of princess. My mom made my own princess dress when I was six with a tiara and everything. When I was seven I cut my hair short and I got my mom to make me a Snow White costume using a doll's dress for reference. I was a tiger at age eight with cool make up. At age nine, I was a pirate. Ten, the grim reaper (or Death). Eleven, (failed) Marluxia from Kingdom Hearts. Twelve, Captain Jack Sparrow. Thirteen, (another fail) Xigbar. And last year I was a ghost. And of course this year, the Mad Hatter.

Yes I still go trick or treating. Who says you're too old to get free candy on a yearly basis? And who doesn't like candy? Huh? In the past couple years, I got a Kool-Aid from one year and one of my friends got a can of peas in another year. Yes, a can of peas. No rocks so far. Hahaha.

So now I'm gonna go back to my relaxing weekend and trying to get through all four hours of Cleopatra.

XOXO,

Liz

It finally works!!

I mean the Home Access that allows me to see my grades. It's been down for about a week or so, so some people aren't able to log in. But luckily it now works so I finally get to see my report card! I got all A's and one B that's from Advanced English. I'm really proud that I'm doing well especially in Algebra 2. It's much more easier than I thought it would be... Let's just hope that won't be jinxed cause that'd be really really terrible.

So this past weekend I went to my friend Jamie's sixteenth birthday party and had a lot of fun. We played (violent) ping pong, made pizzas, and walked to Starbucks.... Some of us were cosplaying at the time which was quite fun but luckily we got no weird stares or anything. After getting Starbucks we went back for present time and cake. And let me say this: It's not everyday you get Happy Birthday sung in four languages on your birthday. That's why I love my friends. While being sung in English, it was also sung in French, Spanish and Swedish. And God was that the best chocolate cake ever!

So for this week.... Crap I just remembered I need a shirt for Wednesday to make a shirt for GSA. Well other than that I made an Anime Jeopardy! game to be played tomorrow and hopefully this Thursday for drama we figure out what to do for tech stuff. Oh, and it's Anti-Drug week so people dress up and stuff again.

XOXO,

Liz

Most stressful week of the year...

Ever have one of those weeks at school where everything starts piling up and you feel like ripping out your hair or just wanting five minutes to shut your eyes? Yeah.. It's been one of those weeks. Just homework on top of homework and by the time I'm done, I'm so tired and all I want to do is just crash and never wake up.

Best cure for stressful weeks? A nice hot shower. Just taking one is so refreshing and it clears up your head from all that stress. Thankfully the week's over and I'm only left with some crazy Algebra 2 homework I can easily get help on.

So other than some stressing homework, all of the dance classes got to perform in the "flash mob" today. I put quotes around flash mob because you know how it's supposed to be a big surprise and stuff so no one else can know but those performing? Yeaaaah some people forgot or didn't know that. And it became an event on Facebook too. But other than that it went really well.

And now it's all over and I can take a weekend to relax and probably finally get to finish Gurren Lagann and catch up on other animes.

XOXO,

Liz

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.

XOXO,

Liz

Even more getting used to things

So last Friday was our first school dance which went pretty good. I had quite a few friends go and we all had tons of fun dancing. It wasn't as scary as other dances so thank God. Turns out that when the teachers said they would see if people were dancing dirty to a certain extent, they were serious about it. So about every few minutes a teacher would shine a flashlight on a group of kids. It wasn't so bad cause everyone would just freeze if they were doing something they weren't supposed to. Was okay for me and my friends since we don't do stuff like that. Overall, really good dance.

Saturday went by like normal and Sunday we drove up to San Francisco for Marina to visit her boyfriend. We went out for tacos and Italian sweets and did a little bit of roaming around Pier 39; mostly looking at sea lions which were funny and plain adorable. Really good day.

And now a new week of school has commenced. Just the same old usual school work and irritation of people who don't care for their education. And anime club will have its first meeting next Tuesday and we'll be deciding on president and vice president and what not. Fun had by all.

XOXO,
Liz

He's a Family Guy

Yep. Instead of loading up on anime I've been obsessed with Family Guy.

So second day of school went so much better. I didn't feel like I was gonna pass out on the spot. I still need some folders for my Algebra binder and a couple book covers though I really don't see why I need book covers cause it's just a waste of paper. And it's not like they keep books from being damaged. Sure as heck didn't keep my Geometry book from getting water damage. Anyway, got some homework which wasn't too bad. As of now I need some stuff signed for Chemistry and a 35 dollar lab donation. I find it ridiculous that a lot of these science and art classes need to ask students for money just to have the necessary supplies. My art class required 50 bucks for the entire school year and each student only had 2 bucks for supplies. So I don't know why the school has to ask the parents for money just to be able to do anything in our classes but whatever...Wonder when the school will be able to make a couple smart decisions.

And so my weekend is slowly ending with finishing another James Patterson book, writing a little, and finishing my homework. Going to a belated baby shower today. I say belated in the fact that the doctors said the baby had some form of dwarfism and and he wasn't going to live but it turns out that the baby was really tiny and one birth later, he's been doing his best to gain weight and getting healthy. And so today we're going to throw a baby shower.

And I'm still debating with whether or not I wanna go to this Friday's school dance.

XOXO,
Liz

Nyanyanyanyanyanyanyanyanya

Go to nyan.cat and watch.

Quick first week back at school. My English class is reading Romeo and Juliet, I'm doing a speaking final and starting a poster project in Spanish, painting a collage in Art, doing nothing in P.E, working with bacteria in Biology, and working with surface area and volume in Geometry. Very, very hectic first week back.

Bright side is that it's Friday and that means weekend time to relax. My family's going to a friend's house later tonight for a (belated) Cinco de Mayo party. It's a bit crazy how a lot of people in California make a big deal about it compared to Indiana who's like, "Whatever". Heh..

I think this weekend I'll be doing what I normally do: draw, write, text friends, and watch T.V. Oh, and add on thinking of ideas for summer. My friend, Jamie, will be gone all summer doing job stuff and going to her sister's wedding so I'll be left here with everyone else and I'm still thinking of ideas and stuff cause other than going to Yosemite and my uncle coming over I'm doing nothing else. Sigh.. Oh well. Still got a few weeks. And I have another week till my birthday party which will be the most insane birthday party ever. Hahahaha.

XOXO,
Liz

*explosion*

FINALLY! It's Spring Break! And yes California's weird cause they have their spring breaks in late April instead of late March. I've really needed a vacation after STAR testing stupidity.

Our last two days of testing were pretty easy. Just Math and Biology. No biggie. Though it was pointless to have school today when we just had two days of tiring block schedule and testing. And teachers giving homework over vacation? I mean what the heck's with that? We all deserve a break from thinking hard and trying to get good grades. Give our brains a rest. The only homework I got was from English, Geometry, and Spanish. English and Geometry were done in class. Spanish, I have to do a video so of course I gotta do it over break.

Biology, we started watching a video called The Miracle of Life. Yes the same video they show in high school of a baby being born. Fun stuff. We haven't gotten to the part where the baby's been born due to a short class but we gotta continue it when we get back. Not gonna look forward to that but am looking forward to the people around me squealing like girls. Hahahaha.

So for my Easter weekend/spring break I have no idea what I'll be doing. My mom did say something about going out to Monterey Beach or something. But other than that nothing I can really think of now.

XOXO,
Liz

EXTREME COUPONING!

This has been a good weekend. I of course went to the dance on Friday and totally regretted it. There was grinding and stuff but it was to a big extent where everyone was doing it. The music was total crap and I wasn't in a real big dancey mood. So after about an hour and thirty minutes me and like four of my friends decided to call our parents and go home. And I want two dollars and fifty cents back cause I was only there for half the time.

Saturday we all went out to Half Moon Bay at a beach close-ish to Santa Cruz. I still kinda have sand in my hair from that little trip. Didn't go swimming cause the wind made it WAY too cold to go into the water. So we just chilled, went exploring and ran after a few seagulls. While Marina went to hang out with her friends, me, my parents and my grandma went up to Santa Cruz to a restaurant called Crow's Nest for a late lunch/early dinner. Had Crabcake Benedict which was awesome! Got a nice little food baby from that. Hahahaha.

And as for today... Just another lazy Sunday. Been watching TV, texting and Facebooking. The usual stuff I do. Watched Mega Shark vs. Crocosauraus. Well most of it. Stopped at the last fifteen minutes. It's bad in a way that's funny and intentional to look like crap. Hahahaha.

Now explanation of title. So there's seriously a TV show called Extreme Couponing. It's basically crazy ladies who spend a lot of money via coupons on surplus amounts of food. I'm not the only one thinking it's ridiculous to stock food like a nuclear winter's about to happen, right?

XOXO,
Liz

Birthday Party Weekend

Rest of my week has been pretty good. Nice weather and strawberry fruit pops all the way.

My school's drama class is doing their own production of the musical Guys & Dolls. My sister's an extra in the musical as a Hot Box girl. She got in by making seven aprons for one of the Hot Box scenes. Me and my family went on opening night on Thursday. Best three hours ever. Very funny and very cute. Loved it all.

The musical still going through till tonight. They did the musical yesterday and are doing it twice today with the last one being part of closing night. So my sister has barely been home all week. They practice like there's no tomorrow and come opening night they give it their all. It must've been worth it though.

Yesterday was another Food Fair and the anime club once again sold Pocky. We didn't sell it all mainly cause we had a lot more than we did at the last food fair. We got to cosplay again. Had a lot of fun.

So I was left home alone cause my mom and step dad just celebrated their one year wedding anniversary. And yes they got married on the first of April. No joke at all. There actually almost wasn't gonna be a wedding cause they got married at the courthouse and the judge went home for the day. But luckily the judge came in time and they were married.

So for today and tomorrow we're going to birthday parties galore. We have two today and one tomorrow. So our weekend's a bit packed. Still wanna go to Barnes & Noble to get ANGEL.

XOXO,
Liz

And now for something completely different

Nice little weekend of nothing. I'm just dying for Spring Break to come already. Most people I know have had theirs and/or starting theirs. My school's weird and Spring Break is combined with Easter weekend. So we don't have another vacation until the end of April. It kinda sucks.

So we recently lost a great actress of the Golden Age. Elizabeth Taylor. I only saw one film of hers Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?. It was a little weird cause I wasn't paying any attention and the movie was confusing in the first place. I added a few of her movies to our Netflix. We're watching Cleopatra. I really wonder how people back then were able to sit through a four hour movie. Was there like an intermission every hour so people could pee? Really amazes you when you see how they used actual sets and actual thousands of people instead of the green/blue screens and the CGI used now in films like Avatar. That's how movies were done back then.

Back to school tomorrow once again. Back in the same old rut I'm usually stuck in.

XOXO,
Liz

IT'S A TRAP!

Watching Stars Wars. I'm not the only one who thinks that it's funny that the first three movies have better technology than the last three movies, right? Here's what I think the theory is with that situation. The Empire lost the budget to have nice things because most of it was spent on an enormous droid army (was mostly destroyed and then shut down during third movie) and a Death Star and a half (both destroyed).

So just another lazy weekend. Drawing, writing, starting on second season of Scrubs. The usual. I started writing a new story based off the events of the earthquake and tsunami disaster about two sisters who move to the U.S to live with their Aunt and start a new life after losing their parents. I may post the first few chapters if I can.

Looks like whole world is falling to ruins. Radiation problems in Japan, the whole Gadhafi thing in Libya. Still wish some people would come to their senses and stop acting like power crazed psychos for once in their lives. World could just do so much better without them. Oh well. Who said the world was perfect? No one.

Oh get this. So apparently California was supposed to get this big earthquake yesterday cause the full moon would make the tides all crazy and stuff. You can tell how full of themselves whoever made this up is. I think this would've been figured out earlier like a hurricane we would have time to get out of here. But since earthquakes can't be predicted like hurricanes, there you have it. And even if that happened then we must be in heaven. Hahaha.

Back to school tomorrow. Nothing else happening in my life.

Another weekend gone

So the rest of my school week was like normal. Homework, running, and thinking. Yep. Just the basics. Nothing uber special. Well on Friday my Spanish class watched the videos we made for our oral presentation. Me and my group's video was pretty good though no one really paid any attention to it other than the Cantina Band blasting during the menu and credits of the DVD.

Weekend went by like normal. Yesterday we went out to Uncle Billy and Aunt Ashley's for dinner and a game of Taboo! I'm not really great trying to make people guess what the word is but am okay with guessing. My mind works in strange ways. Hahahaha. As for today we just stayed home and Marina brought over her new friend Meghan for dinner. We had ribs and they were delicious. Did some writing while my parents watched Unstoppable. Only came down when during the last five minutes of the movie. And now they're watching The Town and already I'm scared out of my mind. They also got The Social Network too.

XOXO,
Liz

Just Keep Swimming

Had a really good week. It was homecoming week which was a little bleh. Bleh meaning boring and not oh so interesting. I got sick on Tuesday so I couldn't show my fake head wound to a lot of people. I'm doing much better now. Just spent that day at home with my sister (also got sick) and watched RuPaul's Drag Race. Went back to school the next day feeling good. Nothing like a swig of Pepto to get rid of an upset stomach.

Nothing else uber interesting this week. Been working on a watercolor painting of what I think the Jabberwocky looks like. As of now it's a nice pretty orange mess. Hahaha. Been super bored in P.E as usual and... that's about it.

Oh and we had a rally on Friday that messed around with our schedule and everyone had to see it. It was okay but I was on the verge of falling asleep. Each class did a skit with the themes they had for homecoming. Everyone had Pixar movies. Freshmen were The Incredibles, sophomores were Monsters Inc., juniors were Finding Nemo, and the seniors, of course, had Toy Story.

Freshmen skit was okay. One guy fake punched another kid in the face which was some nice comic relief. Sophomore skit didn't really catch my attention. Junior skit was funny at one part and then it died cause their CD decided not to work and they didn't try to fix it. The senior skit was the only thing that really caught my attention cause it's Toy Story. What can I say?

Overall I was just thinking the entire time, "Can I eat yet?" There was a lot of dancing but people just looked like they couldn't dance. Yes, I'm picky when it comes to people dancing. I'm just waiting for something super impressive and cool to happen and when nothing does I go, "That was it?" So yeah, I'm a picky person. Hahaha.

Sooo.... nothing really happening this weekend that I can think of. Think my parents are going out to a shooting range later today. And... That's all she wrote. Hahaha.

XOXO,
Liz

Bon Appetit!

I watched Julie and Julia today so hence the title. Love that movie. Amy Adams is just so adorable.

So I've been having a good January. Mainly school stuff. I've been so obsessed with my art class because we're doing a dot paint project. I think it's called pointillism... Yeah that's it. Hahaha. My school had its food fair which is just a way for clubs to raise money by selling food like Jamba Juice and what not. Of course Anime club participated in said event and we sold Pocky. Both chocolate and strawberry. And we sold it all. It was gone in about ten minutes after lunch started. Food Fair is like Black Friday with food. You don't come in time you're not gonna get food.

Weekend's good. Hung out at home yesterday and did the same today. Bit disappointed that da Bears aren't going to the Super Bowl but oh well. Got the Packers. Can't wait for Febuary 6th. My family's hosting a Super Bowl party and my friend and her family broke the thirty mark of how many people are coming. Hahaha.

XOXO,
Liz

Zombie-O's!

Omigod. Ten days with no new post? I've turned into such a lazy bum.

So in that nice ten day span, not much has been going on. Mainly school and what not. Me and my sister have been getting rides from our mom in the morning and walking home in the afternoon. We don't do carpool anymore since he decided to pull something really stupid and get his parking permit taken away. And he's a bit of a reckless driver for that matter. We don't really feel safe with him after the two accidents near the school that happened in less than a week. Yeah I don't feel like dying cause my carpool's a maniac. So that was a nice little highlight of last week.

Last Friday was my uncle Billy's wedding. Got pulled out of school early so that was a plus. And we got Micky D's for a late lunch. So unhealthy but so good. Billy got married at a courthouse and then we went out to this really awesome Italian place for dinner. Oh God. Best chocolate cake ever!! I scarfed it down it was so good.

And there was MLKJ weekend. Not much eventful other than me being a clutz and hurting myself via hitting my hand against a wall. On Monday Jamie came over and we did some stuff for cosplay club and I showed her an anime that she really loves now. Yes you can love an anime in a span of less than an hour.

School. Anime club day. We're gonna be in the school's Food Fair selling Pocky. So that's gonna be a nice nightmare scenario. Hahahaha. We made posters and they look like messes. And messes as in drawings just everywhere. That's what happens when you give psycho teenage girls two pieces of poster paper and a dozen Sharpies. We go berserk. So that's as eventful as my day gets being back in school. See you peeps later!

XOXO,
Liz

Does he have a tampon in his mouth?

Explanation of post title: My mom was cleaning the garage today and the cat went in the garage and came inside with a unused tampon in his mouth like it was a cigar.

My family hosted our second breakfast for dinner party. We had about 40-ish people in the house. Lots of kids. I met a girl named Aubrey who loves Pokémon. Made me super happy. Played with the kids a lot. Mainly the tickle monster which involves covering yourself with a blanket and attacking little children. Yeah, that was fun.

Nothing else really happened much. We've been getting a bit of rain lately. In fact we had a storm last night and it made the power go out. It came back luckily. And also we've spent our day watching Sunday football. Like any usual Sunday afternoon.

My parents bought a ping-pong table and some rackets and balls. We actually colored the six ping-pong balls we had. I made mine into a Poké ball and that was fun. Kline seems to have a nice interest in ping-pong. That's gonna be a fun YouTube video.

XOXO,
Liz
