The Wonderful Week

Hello dudes and dudettes. Did you know that spell check actually identifies dudette as a word? Apparently it's in the dictionary now. I didn't know that =O. Anyway, here is the post!

I've heard a lot of things lately in school:
"Are you ready for the SAT?"
"OMG! THE TEST IS NEXT PERIOD!?!?!?"
"Hi Junie-oba." (This one is getting unusually common. Oba means big brother in Korean and the younger sister is supposed to call her older brother this.)
"Hahaha, LSU lost. Ryan is probably crying in the corner right now..."
"That's what she said."
"Tu madre."
"Votre mère."
But above all, I heard this the most:
"Did you see the Twilight movie?" or some sort of statement pertaining to the new Twilight movie. I heard it was pretty bad too. Apparently the guy playing Edward had 30 expressions on his face in each take and he also played Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter. So enjoy this little clip I found =D


This week was also a song inspired week. I finished the song "Gaining My Wings" and now I'm already writing a new one. Hm, maybe I really could make an album if I wanted to... Or maybe if I got some other band to play one of them. That would be awesome =D. The new song is also a somewhat mushy love song that I would have never wrote on my own. Ugh, but it's currently called "Three Words of Affection" and I may or may not change the title.

That's all for this post. We are nearing our 200th post yay!!! I can't believe this went on that long. Well cya folks and don't forget to come back tomorrow for an awesome post from the Caroline.

Random Question: What would the speed of lightning be if it didn't zig zag so much?

Narration

If I were to look back on the last night and today, my mind would try to shove my focus away.
So, here is something else first. It is true that my mother says some weird things to me. Yesterday at dinner, the conversation went something like this (again, in Chinese):
mother: So, do you have some sort of prom boy-girl thing in high school?
me: A what?
mother: A prom party thing.
me: Oh, yeah. I don't want to go this year, but I will next year.
mother: There won't be no one to take you, will there?
me: No... Also, people can go in groups.
mother: Okay.
me: How did you know about this?
mother: Well, [someone who works at the company] had this picture and he looked really formal in a tux and someone said "Hey, Kyle, is this your prom picture?"
That night, I tried to talk to someone, and deliver some sense into his brain. Well, that did not go so well, as he managed to severely insult my friend and me in one sentence. But I still hope that things get better for him, even though it seems like that will never happen. And after doing and saying those things, he doesn't even seem to deserve it, which I cannot say about almost every other person I know.
So, my mother was taking me to school as usual. Today, she decided to emphasize the worldly aspects of college. "You should definitely try to get into a really good school" and "you can even go to London if you want. Not that I am telling you to move to London."
Before 2nd period, Jack and I do not have a class, so we got Chanyang to get Ryan to come out into the hallway. Jack and I took turns hugging him, trying our best to make him feel better. The four of us talked a bit, and it was really pleasant. Good luck, and good luck to the rest of Chiles Brain Bowl! You're gonna rock Gainesville!
I realized the quiz in history was actually a test. Hm.
It was our pre-intern's last day in English. She seemed sad to leave, but I suppose that is what happens.
So I'm pretty sure we deftly raped that lab without actually finishing the write-up. Oh right. Also, you see, there are many guys in that class. So one of them said something about this blog. I said something like, how did you know about it? This other guy was just like... >.> and <.<>.> and <.<, back and forth. Like in his mind, "Wow, I just witnessed a stalking!"
I tried to tell Keenan to give them some alone time but he gave them about 30 second's worth and decided that was very generous. There seems to be a lot of touching at the hill.
Vicky asked me something weird and actually, I was already worried about that, but oh well. Today's conversacion dirigida in Spanish was about the request of a computer over the phone. This guy in math today raised his arms in elation when he realized that he bested me on the last last math test by 8%. I thought that was kind of cool.
My mind has been on so many things at once that I forgot to make a certain phone call when I got home. I am now listening to the album Day & Age by the Killers yet again. Thank you, Lacey, yet again! Well, that was my day. I hope yours was better!
Sincerely,
Kejing

Okay, is Heroes really in danger of being pulled of air? Because it’s really freaking me out. I mean, what am I supposed to do between the hours of 9:00 and 10:00 on Monday nights? Nothing. Nothing but watch Heroes, and if that’s taken away I’m in serious danger of becoming some crazy person who just sits and stares at a blank TV screen because they have nothing better to do and have nowhere else to go.

I’ve dedicated myself to Heroes much more than almost all other series I’ve gotten into. I’m a big fan of multi-tasking, some TV shows where just made to be watched while simultaneously talking on the phone, downloading music, and making dinner. But not Heroes. All homework is off limits, human contact is strictly limited to commercial breaks. And after all this dedication, you’d think they at least feel some sense of obligation towards me too. Unfortunately the cold-blooded fiends running NBC don’t care, they don’t care about me or the show’s millions of other fans.

At least I still have Liz Lemon, and Heroes for now.

Ohhhh Snap!

'Tis a "snaptastic" post today! You'll notice that each of the topics have a nice little snap related title. =D Enjoy!

Cold Snap!
The weather has been wrecking havoc what with its mild afternoons and freezing morning gusts- what gives?! THIS IS FLORIDA. -.-
It would be nice if it actually snowed here like it did in 1993; at least then we would claim to remember seeing snow in the godforsaken town that gets colder my freezer but is as about as snow filled as my oven (which brings me to....)

Ginger Snap!
Ever since this cold weather has begun, I have had the strong urge to bake holiday treats! I'm contemplating making a really nice little confections basket for each of my teachers for the holidays with seasonal treats like Peppermint Bark, Hot Cocoa Mix, Peppermint Taffy, Christmas Cookies, and other things. Sure, it's a little "brown-noser" thing to do, but hey- I'm not denying it.

Triple Finger Snap!
DRAMA: I've mentioned it before, I'll mention it again! As I've talked about in weeks prior, I'd like to get a little more involved with our drama department. Well, I see a perfect opportunity with Seussical! I'm really excited about it, though the chance of me actually getting a part is very slim. Oh well, a guy dream, can't he?

Snapfully yours,

Wellllll this last week is turning out to be extremely well balanced between the good things that happen to me and the bad. But thats pretty good considering that i had surgery for the first time ever which is a huge negative.

I don't want to give Walmart free advertising but I just can not help it. The movie sale that they are having is so great!!! I have gotten. . . . . a lot of movies in the past two weeks. That's right it's not a number that I care to share with the public because I have actually considered the fact that I may have an addiction. The movies in the five dollar bin with green stickers are two dollars. TWO DOLLARS! I actually ended up getting a number of scary movies that I am not even one hundred percent sure that I would ever be able to watch. But what a bargain!!!

It seems like since we have so little school left before Christmas holidays, and because this is the time of year when all of our lives seem a little brighter because of that break coming up. . . the teachers are PILING ON THE TESTS. Ugh. I just do not appreciate it at all. Trashcat is not amused.

I actually have put off writing this post for the longest time because I keep telling myself that something exciting has to happen to me. It . . . hasn't? So maybe something will happen to me next week. If not I will make something up for you guys.

Story

A little story...make what you will out of it.

It seemed like such a simple decision. "The time is now to choose. You can save your best friend, your parents, and that young gentleman you've had your eye on for quite some time. Then there is the option of saving the other billions of people of Earth." It was obvious the choice one should choose.

But then again, how could she part with the people that meant the most to her? And for what, a couple of strangers? Well, it was a little more than a couple of strangers. Was she selfish? Wouldn't anyone else in her position feel the same?

She racked her brain for an answer. How could she choose? This seemed like the classic superhero situation. Save a bus of people or your girlfriend. Somehow they always both end up being saved anyway. Things aren't always like the comic books. In fact, things are rarely like the comic books. If they were, Superman would come and fix the whole situation. She would not be here making the decision.

And how had she arrived to this point? None of that really matters now.

It was now or never. She had to make a choice. She walked her loved ones into a large chamber. Surely they would forgive her. It had to be this way. She joined them in the chamber and shut the door. She watched though the small glass as the world outside began to explode. The screams of the world were faint, but the tears of the four she had brought with her were deafening.

No, life is like the comic books. Those people wouldn't be coming back.

And why were her loved ones crying? Did they not realized she had just sacrificed the world for them?

So yea, it was basically the strangest conversation I've had in a while. And I don't know how to get the font back to normal, so we're stuck with this. For those of you who are wondering, "Taylor" is Taylor G. (I won't say last names for confidentiality reasons) but you guys should know who I am talking about. He's in my chemistry class. That conversation was incredibly random, and I still have no clue what he was talking about, so I plan on clearing things up with him tomorrow during science.

Strange conversation #2:

So I was driving these two boys home from school, Colten and Sam. Here is part of our conversation from the trip:

Me: So what are you guys doing on your first night of Thanksgiving break? (the two boys were hanging out at Sam's house)

Sam: Well, we'll probably get naked, and see what happens from there. Anything ensuing will probably just be a result of attraction and flirtation.

Yeah, it was awkward...

Strange conversation #3:

There's this awesome european kid that goes to our school, and he is hilarious. I was talking to him about this girl that he likes, and then he turned the tables on me and inquired about the kid I am crushing on:

Conor: So how are things with you and your boy?

Me: pretty awesome, I guess

Conor: how? why? I need details! Elaborate! Who, what, when, where?

(So I told him some recent events)

Conor: I have to meet this kid! When can I meet him? He must meet my approval!

-yeah, he's kinda obsessed with my love life for some odd reason...

So those are three interesting conversations I've had within the past few days...Join us tomorrow for a riveting post from Bri!

And listen to "Writing on the Walls" by Underoath!
