D’aww, juniors doing scheduling. My advice: don’t take AP Physics (unless you seriously love the subject (and you probably don’t, unless you do WA for fun)) and take orchestra! ♥ (smh Latin V, smh.) Oh, and do singleton gov if you think you might actually be interested in the subject. Only take singleton Lit if you genuinely enjoy reading, otherwise it will be somewhat...

Why am I so awkward? Rather, why do I think I’m so awkward?
February 10, 2012
So today was actually one of the best days in recent history. It started out horribly: a run in my tights, spilling nail polish remover, being late, being cold, random nausea, Ms. Defense Attorney. But MY TEAM. I LOVE YOU GUYS. Our last minute prep and edits, changing the order to the praise of the 3A southerners. MASH. Roaming around Richmond in the cold, eating half of a huge sandwich and...

i was gonna skip tomorrow
but then i remembered exxon mobil is sending reps to see how @singtothesky and i are doing on our proj because we asked them to donate a gallon of crude oil to us.
EXCEPT LOL ALL WE HAVE DONE SO FAR IS MAKE MEDIUM. our bacteria are still in white powder form, in a glass container in drawer.
YEAH BASICALLY. And we don’t really know what...

Realizing that it’s not really an awkward story, it’s just that I’m extremely awkward…

So I thought it was kind of super cute when the whole orchestra started counting out loud together in the Mendelssohn Octet today. :3 (This should be kind of fun. Celloland~)

HAHAHA OLD YEARBOOKS. <3
My room and my closet cannot both be clean at the same time. That would defy…entropy or something.

Realizations:
1. I have had orchestra 5th period for the past 6 years of my life. 2. I am the only eldest child in my immediate family. My siblings are obviously younger, my parents are both youngest, and all of my grandparents are younger except one only child.
Baking:
Today: 1 9x13 lemon bars, 2 9x5 loaves vanilla/coffee marble cake, 1 9x9 peppermint bark Tomorrow: 1 9x9...

word of the day
infundibuliform: funnel-shaped (Catch-22, 25)
But really, Catch-22 is somewhat obnoxious because I have to look up too many words.

So NOW I think of good ideas for the college essays I’ve already submitted. This actually makes me exceedingly sad. T_T
@nananax5, @traumerai: I’ll leave this one up just for you guys. :P

day 2
6 hours with a displaced @anonsenseoctopus, sort of knowing things. A straight view of the crunchcrunch person and so much more laughter because of last night’s awk conversation. (I promise we’re not a creepers or madly in love. xD) Lunch with 7 people in one booth. Everyone at SRO has Pocky/Pepero. Yay competent pianists. Boo obnoxious lighting assistants.
Enchiladas, rice and...
day 1
7 hours with (a possibly displaced, or not) @anonsenseoctopus, pretending we know things. A straight view of the crunchcrunch person. Talking with people I wish I were more familiar with, lunch with underclassmen. Seeing people I haven’t seen for a long time yet have, people I wish I had kept in touch with. Wondering what would have happened if I hadn’t gone to TJ. Counting. Or...

"The Yellow Slicker" - Stuart Dischell

On this fourth day in a row of rain There is a sameness to the streets broken only by the odd Brightly painted house—the way those who pass by In tan or black trench coats look back at the girl Wearing a yellow slicker.

Sometime I miss middle school so much it hurts. Partially cause it was easy. Partially for other reasons.
@oopslackadaisical, where are youu?
Norwegian Wood or Kafka on the Shore? I ought to watch that movie, but derp. Can’t exactly do that and write about it before Nov. 1st I think. Or Oct. 29th if we want to IHOP. All the posters are super pretty though. Someone come with me to the U.S. release in January (as long as it’s not dubbed). -__- And I want to go buy a copy of the book...

ayaka to make a comeback with her own label next... →
So much good news I don’t even. ♥
In the interest of all that is fantastic and punny, her comeback single should be titled “ただいま (Tadaima).”

That awkward moment when you’re reading a manga about people who are trying to study but are distracted by reading manga, when you should be studying.
People who are good at everything = SMH.

Ugh, my feelings.
So I saw it coming from far away. In my heart, I know these four will be better off without their dead weight, even if sales numbers reflect otherwise (and they will). And I can’t really blame the other two, even if I’m bitter about it. It’s my vain wish that they’ll at least acknowledge the problem, not just ignore it. It’s my vain wish for...

Wait, can we please have HC week all over again? It hasn’t registered yet that it was the very last one ever. Thursday was the last time I would be yelling in those stands; Friday was the last time I would see everyone decked out in red/white/blue/togas, and we were the ones wearing the togas. Friday was the very last 2012 MEX I’d ever see or do, the last bit of TJ trivia I would...

HWESAS
So I was looking through my 5th grade yearbook (lost my 6th grade yearbook in my basement)… and counted 35 kids who are currently at TJ. This is assuming that I have not forgotten anyone and that the >2 who dropped and 1 who got into MIT do not count. 35 kids. Out of <480 446. That’s a little under 8% of our graduating class. Is that normal? And geez, have I been stuck...

first rotation
So senior year is pretty nice and all, but I seriously miss junior year at times. I dislike not having trailer classes and having to run up and down the stairs between almost every class and how my cold/hot classes are not divided nicely.
AP Lit: I’m quite upset that I don’t have Mr. Green. Of the three Lit classes, I get the one not taught by him. But Mrs. Lebryk-Chao is really...

summer '11
I was going to publish this last night, but I forgot. derp.
I DON’T WANT TO GO TO SCHOOL.
- I’ve seen/heard of a number of non-TJ classmates working in service jobs. And I think that is I would like to do next summer (along with traveling Asia with @nananax5). I’ve been offered a return to where I worked this summer, and that might be a good thing, but it’s not exactly...

Dear KQ/GY,
I’m so glad you guys haven’t changed at all. Or at least, we’ve been able to keep pace with each other as we’ve changed. I had an instant of nervousness before meeting you after a year or so, but that was dispelled easily when the first thing you asked me was, “you like Kpop, don’t you?”
K, you’re still the airhead, enthusiast, and child. G,...

Updates on this extended family…
- Eldest cousin: now married to said girlfriend…which I didn’t learn until a couple weeks later, and living in their own place. They’re still kind of bumbling around, trying to figure out American customs (such as eating lunch at the office, not at home) and figuring out my now cousin-in-law’s scholarship business with GMU. The most...
Greatest gpoy in the world.
I had more stuff written here, but as I told @pentatonicadenza, I didn’t feel like posting it. (I only feel slightly bad about not posting enough. Except that if I did, it would be a lot of complaining and fangirling, and that’s not necessarily fun.) In short: college apps/why I am so useless? I did finish the WA though, and Hemingway and another 1/5...

Ah, I kind of hate filling out forms.
1. What is your name? Shoot, which name did I put last time… 2. What is your middle name? Officially, I have none; in the school system, I do. 3. Do you have a preferred name? I just have a name, yo…and then a bunch of others. :3 I mean, some people prefer one and some people another. You could call me Jimmy for all I care, as long as I...

writingadvice:
Write every day. Write something. Every day.
Easier said than done, right? Here are some suggestions for making it happen:
1. Commit to writing for at least two hours every day. (Why? Because 1½ to 2 hours is the maximum that most of us can endure mentally and physically before needing a break.) So write for at least 90 minutes without getting up from your chair. Seriously. No...
