Un. com. for. table.

Just finished my very first journalism assignment of the year. And it's probably the biggest journalism fail everrrr. It was just an article on my journalism teacher, but boy was that way harder than I thought it would be! I already learned a couple things:
1. Actually WRITE quotes down directly or you end up just fudging all the quotes.
2. Try and take notes that are actually discernible and coherent when you view them a few days later.
3. Making/asking your own questions is actually quite helpful when it comes down to the quotes actually being relevant to your angle, rather than being about her liking pasta or sneaking out with her boyfriend in high school.

But yeah. Something about journalism/joining the newspaper makes me nervous and stressed. Heck, almost everything about sophomore year makes me nervous. I'm not sure what it is but thinking about being actually on the paper and expected to conduct interviews and turn out articles on deadlines hella scares me. I wish I could be one of those people who is fearless regardless of the unknown-ness of their situation, but I'm really not. I hate the feeling of having to deal with new situations, or rising to new and different expectations. My whole life I've been scared of doing new things on my own, straying from my comfort zone. It's just all very...uncomfortable.

Speaking of uncomfortable, this advertisement I saw made me VERY uncomfortable. Or more like.."WTF??!"

Ok...ayyyy?

Maybe I'm a nerd, but I think this has to be one of the coolest things ever:

It's a CAKE. Ain't it awesome?! :D :D. If only I could actually have enough baking skizzles to pull that out. We'll see ;)

*sigh. Another summer come and gone, and nothing substantial enough to hold onto than a few memories and some pictures. Hopefully, years from now I'll be able to look back at this summer and remember all of the time I've spent with everyone. This summer was...a summer of buying a Bio SAT prep book, taking pages of notes, then losing the workbook and buying a new one. This summer was days of biking to drink PMT and eating fries. This summer was spending all my money on candy at Ralph's, swinging lanyards, stoichometry, and cross-dressing. This summer was missing CTY, mosquito bites, and bad luck in Hawaii. This was a summer of azn-photobooth pictures, eating pretzels, and standing around awkwardly. This summer was...watching my brother walk around the house in only boxers(one day he was wearing two pairs on top of each other, God knows why), trying to keep my room neat and failling, playing Nancy Drew computer games and getting signficantly scared (GOD I KNOW IM A CHICKEN, ALRIGHT?). This summer was sleeping in til 11, not practicing piano, watching George Lopez and The Nanny, hearing endless lectures about my future.. and dreading school.

But, as all other good things, it must come to an end I guess. :-/ I only wish I could've enjoyed it more, but..ah, well there you go. Thanks to everyone who made it so awesome :D

Ugh I can't even enjoy our 8:15 school start time cuz I have to pick up my schedule. Watch me walk into the wrong classroom and stand there for 10 minutes awkwardly, or sit down, before I figure it out. T___T

Hey Loser

HAHA alright, after getting just getting back from my trip to Missouri to send off my brother, and being internet-less the whole time, I finally got to check it out "The Awkward Flagpole" and I nearly LOL'ed because I'm pretty sure that Lisa and I are like one mind or are constantly sending telepathic waves with one another. one of those. I would comment on her posts about my reaction to them, but this is just too EPIC. because..

1)I love David Choi too! Well, I've been pretty much hooked to music after his song "Won't Even Start" was played at the ending credits of Wongfu's Video "In Da Club" [If you haven't seen it, be sure to check it out because its HILARIOUS. Part 1 can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXOxOB-xjpA ] Ahaha I also love Wongfu's various spins of "Won't Even Start" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPAT1nwnq9o specially the Jonas Montana version LOL

2)I watch "The Nanny" pretty darn obsessively too! And I find it kinda cute that although Fran has a voice that would make you want to run into a wall, Maxwell Sheffield still fancies her. I like that dude because in more ways than one, he kinda reminds of my very own good ol' asian daddy in that he's kinda focused on business and a little socially awkward. That's probably where I got it from ._.

3) on the boy thing.. LOLOLOLROFLMAO XD man, I wish I could've been there. I probably would've pissed in my pants from laughing.

Aha well all that set aside, these couple of days were a pretty big stage in my life. Oh man, that sounds corny. Basically, my brother left for college for Washington University in St. Louis and it affected me way more than I thought it would.I kinda thought up of a sorta letter? if you can even call it that on the plane ride back home. Mm.. well get ready from some pretty damn cheesy sentimental shit.


Hey loser,

So we're officially leaving you today. Well, actually more like you're leaving us. It kind of surprises me how hard it is for me to let go, although I thought having my daily life without you there would be absolutely wonderful :) haha no, but now I'm kinda scared of what like my life is going to be like now that you're going to be gone most of the time. Like, I'm actually really, really scared.
It probably hasn't hit me yet that like you're not going to be there when I get home. That you won't be in your room doing the retarded things that you do, or take eons in the bathroom, or even take such long showers that all the warm water is gone so that the rest of the family have to freeze our butts off trying to get clean in cold water. We're definitely going to save money on rice, well food in general, now that you're not going to be here to eat the scary huge amounts that you do. And now, on Saturday and Sunday mornings, I'm going to run into your room to jump on your "happy spot" to wake you up and then realize that I can't hear you scream in pain. schadenfreude :D or when i walk past your room, I'm not gonna see you concentrating on your homework and the way your tongue pokes out the corner of your mouth. No more of your hilarious hair routines that you perform every morning that officially make you a japanese/korean wannabe, or how we would watch cartoon movies when we were little. And now I realize that even though we saw Aladdin and Kiki's Delivery Service a billion times (I'm pretty sure that's an understatement), you still sat with me and watched it until all the lines were permanently etched in that tiny pea-brain of yours. I'm going to miss you getting all silly about dirty specks on your precious shoes that make me wanna slap you upside your stupid head.
But yeah, I'm going to miss you - in more ways that I can imagine. In ways that I guess I'm really scared to have to face really soon. And it seems kinda silly for me to be so scared even though you're pretty much a phone call or text away, but I can't believe you are going to college. Honestly, I can't believe you got in. Aha just playing. Rihanna and Neyo are right. "I hate how much I love you." Honest.

Bye weirdo,
Your Awesome (:D) Sister
