I'm too lazy to fix up the colours right now, so I'm just gonna leave 'em (meh).
Anyways...
Yay for PA Days! Okay, so my PA Day was actually pretty crappy since people were busy doing stuff, and we had a deficiency in rides too. Ah well, the important thing is I got lots of rest and did a lot of nothing (as usual).
Since Friday was a PA Day, me, Sean, Lo, Jason, and Henry decided to go down to STC to do a little Christmas shopping. Somehow we only ended up doing serious shopping at the local dollar stores, where we all purchased a lot of food and a small package of a dozen pills that expanded into shaped sponged in hot water. Besides the dollar stores, we tried doing some teddy bear shopping at Wal-Mart and some other teddy bear store there, but naturally, we didn't really buy anything. However, we did come across a super cool teddy bear that vibrated and sang Happy Birthday when you pushed the button! I am soooo buying that if they have it at the Wal-Mart at Markville.
The rest of that night was pretty much spent watching Jason and Sean get apple sauce on themselves and watching Pirates of the Caribbean for the first time. Cool movie.
So the next day (PA Day), we had intended to have a big get-together and do some music stuff, which we ended up not really doing. In fact, we pretty much sat there and watched The New Guy on tv, and did absolutely nothing else. So much for work!
That same day, I went to my very last piano lesson. It had to end eventually anyways, and I wasn't making any progress anymore anyways. I've been taking lessons ever since I was 5 and a half, so that means I've been playing piano for about 12 1/2 years! Been there for the good, and the bad, but eventually I finished my ARCT exam, and that was pretty much the peak of my piano years.
Most people quit piano once they hit around grade 4, which I understand, because the middle grades are the toughest in terms of learning new techniques and tricks. However, once I hit grade 10 and ARCT, piano was actually much more enjoyable and almost (almost!) worth the time to practice because the music sounds so good and interesting to play. It's absolutely exhilerating to play Liszt's Tarantella racing at 200 bpm!... But then I realize how crappy I actually am still when I make a mistake, but oh well hehe.
I'm gonna miss playing piano seriously, and I really doubt I'll touch the piano often after I'm done my accompaniment for Mimi's exam thing. Ah, so many memories...
It's Saturday morning now. The sun's shining, and the grounds and rooftops are covered in a soft layer of white. I'm actually in a slightly mellow mood now (as in feeling a LITTLE more content than usual). I hope my day just gets better. After sitting around and reflecting for a bit, I realized there's only one thing I want for Christmas...
Aight, that's all for now.

Yeah, my colours are all screwed up. I don't even know if other people see the same colours as me right now, but whatever. I've been trying to screw around with my template for like an hour now, to no avail. Oh well, I'll fix it up some other time.

I got curious today, so I decided to look up pictures of Ayumi Hamasaki, one of my favourite J-Pop/Rock artists. I was just like "WOW!!!" and "OH MY GOD! *sigh*"
Oh my, she's soooooooo hot!
Lo and some of the other guys on the channel seemed to get the idea that she was fake, and not as good as Hilary Duff. I don't know what they smoking, but I know she's soooo hot!!!
I really think it's her eyes, and her smile, and her hair, and everything else, haha!
Yeah, I'm kinda going crazy. =)
Aight, that's all for now. LoL!

We played kind of crappy at Chapters today. A lot of people said it was good, a lot of people said it was cute (at some points), Toria's mom told Toria to marry me (yay!), and just about all of Church Street thought it was terrible. We play so much better during practice, what a shame that we lost it all when we played at Chapters. Monday Morning Blues Band played surprisingly well, since, as I recall, they were not quite so hot 2-3 weeks ago. Anyways, everybody tried their best, and despite the crappiness, life goes on. Good job all.
Aight, that's all for now.

Semi...was...AWESOME! Well, to be honest, it wasn't as good as I expected it to be, partially because I didn't know what to expect. It was still amazing though; I had so much fun, and I actually contributed to it!
Getting to semi was a long journey that thoroughly pissed me off! I started off at McCowan and Raymerville, and it took me like 25 minutes just to get down to McCowan and Steeles, when it should only take like 5-10 minutes. Every goddamn traffic light I came to JUST TURNED RED! Like geez! And to top that off, some lights I had to wait twice because the stupid cars in front were so slow and there were so many of them. I eventually got to semi in 50 minutes...that took way too long.
Semi started off pretty late. It was supposed to begin at 7, but I don't think we actually started eating until around 8. However, the food was quite good, especially considering it was banquet style. The pasta was tasty, the chicken was tender and moist, and the pizza was pretty good too. The only bad part was the ceaser salad, which was quite watery for some reason and not very ceaser-y (how typical that the green stuff is the most disappointing!). The dessert was a scoop of ice cream with chocolate sauce, which I found was perfect to finish off the meal!
During dinner, Drew took some of the complimentary mints (that I helped wrap and prepare earlier) and threw them into my 7up, creating this really fizzy, sweet, thick, concoction that I still drank for some reason, lol. In fact, the other 3 mints in the package were thrown into the drink too and that's when the mint really began to reek! That wasn't the most disgusting thing I consumed that night. Liz had decided she had no appetite to finish (or start) her own ice cream dessert, so she just swirled it around until it was a thick liquid of vanilla and strawberry sauce (it's really not a pretty sight). She wasn't done though; why not make it more interesting by pouring 7up into it? The pop was poured in and the whole dessert began to bubble! She dared me to drink it...so I did. Delicious! Not surprising I guess, considering it was composed of generally yummy ummy ingrediants anyways. Thank Liz, haha.
The dance started off with a slow song, which I found kind of odd, but whatever. Most of our group was still kind of disorganized and sitting around, waiting for the real music to start. I thought that the DJ would start the dance off with something more upbeat like Heaven, which he did play eventually, but whatever. Dancing was fun, and to my surprise, everybody was dancing! Even all the guys in our group were dancing, which was neat since they usually kind of just stood around during banquet. It started getting rowdy and Terence cracked out the glowsticks, and everybody was like "ooooh! glowwwwy!" Okay, so they didn't say that, but they were pretty excited to see those big yellow streaks flying everywhere. Unfortunately, the glowsticks they were selling were kind of designed stupid because they had a small ring-thing at the top of the stick that kept getting in the way, and it caused all of us to keep screwing up when we tried to string. Yeah...that was kind of embarassing, none of us (Me, Terence, Drew, and Sean) could really get a strong act going, and kept tangling! Oh well, I'm kind of glad we all tried, and it was part of our plan to look like idiots anyways, haha.
This DJ was pretty good. He played a lot of music that was suitable for a dance and there were actually sections of trance here and there. Naturally, there were some songs that seemed out of place, but I guess that can't be helped. During one of the trance songs, Jason and Joey were having some kind of dance off against Serena and Joyce, creating a hilarious spectacle of romping back and forth at each other! The girls started losing their creativity, and the guys won as the song came to an end. Girls losing a dance off to guys, what a shame =P.
Finally, semi was almost over and I decided to go home before the entrance was crowded with three hundred other people trying to leave. It took me 30 minutes to drive Chris home taking a longer route, AND to drive myself home. I guess part of it was my driving a little over the limit (so what if I was driving 100 in a 50 zone?). When I got to Finch and Warden, I wanted to make a left turn to drive home Chris, when suddenly there's this bigass firetruck honking at me incessantly! Figuring that he wanted to turn left, I quickly swerved out of the turning lane and went straight instead. That wasn't so bad, if it was urgent, I could just take another route to drive Chris home...HOWEVER, the truck didn't turn! IT WAS GOING STRAIGHT, IN THE SAME DIRECTION I WAS GOING! Why it was in the turning lane? I don't know. Why it was honking at me? To piss me off! I know I shouldn't jump to conclusions, but I bet the stupid people in the stupid fire truck just turned on the siren so they could hog the road, because I ended up behind the fire truck to turn left onto Kennedy, but the stupid truck wasn't turning left, AGAIN, AND it was taking up two lanes by driving right along the line! I swear that there was no fire to put out, and the soul purpose of the existence of that truck was just to piss me off! Haha, anyways, I made it home in good time.
That was Friday, then came Saturday. I didn't do much in the morning or afternoon. Some friends came over around dinner time and I ended up watching anime with Patricia until midnight. We watched a really cool anime movie called "Spirit Away" or something along those lines, and it was really really good, just like most anime! Yeah, that was fun, and she lent me some more anime for me to watch, yay.
Sunday was really boring. Woke up, played computer, kind of did calculus homework, and that was about it. I was supposed to meet up with "calc club" to do a little bit of preparation for the test tomorrow, but I couldn't go. Oh well, I'm going to fail that test anyways.
What a weekend! Anyways, here's some pictures from semi. You'll need an imagestation account to view them.

I'm bored. I'm tired. I have nothing to say, but I just felt like blogging anyways.
Lately, I've had like a thousand things on my mind...actually, only like 2 or 3 things, constantly coming back. Not that these thoughts are bad (hmm...!), but it's kinda distracting from work and stuff. Anyways, semi is coming in 2 days. I get to drive the new car to semi! Oh yeah, I haven't really talked about the new car yet.
Yep, we got a new car--a brand new Accord! ...Another, brand new accord. I've lost count, but I think this is like the 4th or 5th accord that we've had, in a row. But I can't complain, this car is SO AWESOME to drive! Like WoW! I could feel such a big power difference going from the crappy 4 cylinders to the new 6 cylinders! I'll take anybody's car on a drag race right now! I love driving the new car.
Anyways, I'm exhausted and injured after like half and hour of stringing, but it's still fun.
Kitty and the Twins are having some kind of birthday gathering on saturday, sorry I can't come ><.
Aight, that's all for now.

I was sitting in the library during spare one day, and I had no work to do, so I just started doodling on a piece of paper. Seeing as how I couldn't decide what to doodle, I decided to give myself some parameters...I would draw everything in 10 seconds! The idea was pretty stupid, and so were the drawings. In fact, they were so horrible that I decided to make more drawings because the pictures made me laugh so hard. After a while, I had a small collection of drawings and now they are all posted in an imagestation photo album.
My 10 Second Art
Mind you, since my pictures are stored in imagestation, you'll have to register an account at www.imagestation.com to view them. Just do it, it takes like 10 seconds. Literally.
So anyways, me and Lo decided to take the simple concept of drawing things in 10 seconds to the next level! We began a competition: 10 seconds, and a theme. I won't say much about these pictures, except that they were so funny that my stomach began to hurt from laughing so much while we were drawing these.
10 Second Art Competition
Visit my albums and leave comments. I want to see who you think won in each battle!
Aight, that's all for now!

I HATE YOU WINTER!!! WHY DO YOU SUCK SO MUCH???
Brrr...snow! Blasted snow! Sure, it looks pretty and all, but what's the point when I can't even look up because the stupid snow is incessantly blowing into my face! Honestly, the only thing winter is good for is to look at...through a window in a nice warm abode like I'm in right now. It wasn't actually that cold when I was walking home, but it was so freaking windy, and I couldn't look up to see where I was going. As a result, it took longer than usual, and many places around my face began to burn. I found my hair to be in a rather comical condition, however; I looked in the mirror when I got home and I had this layer of white fluff covering my whole head, and it kind of reminded me of Mr. Mitchell's hair, hehe.
Tomorrow is another calculus test, meaning tonight is cram night and everybody is studying their calculus notes like mad! However, tonight, me, Mok, Terence, Lo, and Drew decided to have a calculus study session to review over all the crap. It was going pretty good for about an hour and a half, but then we started wandering around and doing other stuff...so much for studying. Mok was trying to show us the website of one of his friends in grade 9 and the first site he went to just happened to be pornography! Way to go, Mok. We also spent a lot of time glowstringing while I tried to play trance on the piano (remix to a remix of heaven, lol). As soon as the pizza arrived, we broke down for dinner while watching Friends, followed by watching survivor and more glowstringing! When my parents got home, we got back to work again, haha. Despite all the time we wasted doing anything else but studying, I'd say it was a pretty productive 5 hours, and pretty damn fun for a study session! Here's a picture of our little calculus squadron:
Team Calc!
Semi-formal is next week, and I got rejected when I asked someone. Oh well, I kind of expected it anyways.
Aight, that's all for now.

My stupid alarm clock radio didn't go off today. I forgot to change the time to am last night because we had a blackout or something and I had to set back the time. As a result, my brother had to wake me up 10 minutes before we had to leave the house to the You@Waterloo open house.
I didn't really care that much about going, but I guess I'm glad I went. Me and Lo sat through 2 info sessions for arts accounting, and I was able to get some answers about the difference between math accounting and arts accounting. I kind of dozed off during the first academic session but came back everytime my head flung backwards. It probably didn't help that I was kind of day dreaming during the section they were discussing one of the specific accounting programs I was interested in, but I was completely out of it for like half an hour before I realized the last 3 or 4 slides were probably important...oh well!
The people hosting the sessions weren't really able to give me accurate information about the difference between arts accounting and math accounting; I had to visit the math booth at the SLC where this chinese guy straight up told me that math accounting was better...well duh. He was kinda weird though, with his noise-making while flipping pages...he was actually saying "Flip, flip, ding! No wait, that's not it. Flip, ding! There we go!" He was hilarious and very helpful though, so s'all good.
Me and Lo had went to the arts session while Drew, Terence, and Mok went to the Engineering session. I don't know which one was better, but I know I got a free bottle of water and they didn't! It even had a label saying "Accounting and Financial Management", which was covering another label that said "Canadian Essence"...hmmm, no wonder the water tasted familiar!
Wow this entry was pretty boring! Oh well, at least I put something...I'll put something more interesting next time.
Aight, that's all for now.

Aye, I need to blog more often. Anyways, I haven't blogged in so long, mostly because everytime I have something worth blogging it's because I did something really stressful or something pissed me off, but then I don't blog it because I'm too stressed out or pissed off ^^. I'll just say a bit of whatever I remember...
*By the way, if you just want to see pictures, the links are at the end of this blog...*
I completely waste away last weekend. Well, it wasn't exactly the whole weekend, but it was one of those cram periods where I really should of been working. Instead, I spent my whole saturday watching anime! Yep, 13 hours straight of Chobits! It does sound pretty insane and stupid, but Chobits is like the BEST show in the world!!! Anime is so much better than whatever garbage shows we have in Canada; it's so much more interesting and realistic...okay, not realistic all around, but it has many more themes and ideas that actually apply to us in real life. *Sigh* Such a good series, hehe.
After watching all of Chobits, I needed more anime! So I started downloading episodes of my favourite anime: Mamotte Shugogetten. After a week of downloading, it was on my computer...2gb, downloading at approximately 3-4kb/s on average I guess...That took way too freaking long to download, Bit-Torrent SUCKS! But I didn't have a choice, because Mamotte Shugogetten is so rare and NOBODY has ever heard of it! At least I finally got all the subbed episodes available, and was quite entertained during them. Sucks that the people didn't do subs for all the episodes, because now there is a missing chunk at the beginning of the series, and a missing chunk at the end, so the story would've been weird if I didn't read about some of the characters ahead. A week of downloading, finished watching in 1 afternoon ><.
Since I wasted away last weekend watching anime, I had pretty much part of sunday night, monday night, and late tuesday night to start/finish my whole data project and computers programming assignment! As a result, I'm REALLY freaking tired now! I had stayed up late everyday this week because I also spent a lot of time making my Halloween costume, which was completely retarded in the end...what a waste of time. I don't want to talk about my actual assignments actually, so I'll get to Halloween.
Halloween was so much fun! My costume looked completely retarded, because my duck idea was no longer a duck since the fabric for the legs wasn't long enough and the mask for the beak looked ridiculously bad! I'm kind of glad I dressed up though, although a lot of people made fun of my costume and all, oh well! This is my last year in high school, I gotta have as much fun as possible; this will probably be my last chance to be this silly at school! I think more people should dress up for Halloween; I was beginning to wonder if it was the right day as I drove to school in my costume, because if it wasn't...ohhhhh boy, haha.
Halloween dinner was good. As usual, I ordered the most stuff, and I spent the most money...am I the only one that likes to endulge every once in a while? Ah well, I enjoyed it a lot =)! Lo's house was a lot of fun too, although most of the time was spent taking pictures of each other in our ridiculous costumes (that I wasn't wearing anymore). Other than that, some time was spent carving pumpkins too, while I tried to learn the guitar melody for Hellsong. We started watching Bend it Like Beckham later on, but it was getting late so everyone left about halfway through. Anyways, onto pictures!

I completely waste away last weekend. Well, it wasn't exactly the whole weekend, but it was one of those cram periods where I really should of been working. Instead, I spent my whole saturday watching anime! Yep, 13 hours straight of Chobits! It does sound pretty insane and stupid, but Chobits is like the BEST show in the world!!! Anime is so much better than whatever garbage shows we have in Canada; it's so much more interesting and realistic...okay, not realistic all around, but it has many more themes and ideas that actually apply to us in real life. *Sigh* Such a good series, hehe.
After watching all of Chobits, I needed more anime! So I started downloading episodes of my favourite anime: Mamotte Shugogetten. After a week of downloading, it was on my computer...2gb, downloading at approximately 3-4kb/s on average I guess...That took way too freaking long to download, Bit-Torrent SUCKS! But I didn't have a choice, because Mamotte Shugogetten is so rare and NOBODY has ever heard of it! At least I finally got all the subbed episodes available, and was quite entertained during them. Sucks that the people didn't do subs for all the episodes, because now there is a missing chunk at the beginning of the series, and a missing chunk at the end, so the story would've been weird if I didn't read about some of the characters ahead. A week of downloading, finished watching in 1 afternoon ><.
Since I wasted away last weekend watching anime, I had pretty much part of sunday night, monday night, and late tuesday night to start/finish my whole data project and computers programming assignment! As a result, I'm REALLY freaking tired now! I had stayed up late everyday this week because I also spent a lot of time making my Halloween costume, which was completely retarded in the end...what a waste of time. I don't want to talk about my actual assignments actually, so I'll get to Halloween.
