WOOHOO! WINTER BREAK!! Even though I'll have to work on two projects...and get the swine flu vaccine on the 22nd...*sighs*
You know, the 17th and 18th of December was sort of interesting. In school, people were passing out these candy canes and everything. One guy had like sixty in his backpack. I took two from him-a cherry and a peppermint. I LOVE PEPPERMINT! It's sooo nice and minty. Anyway, out of the six periods (not including lunch), other than P.E. and drama, our schedule was totally different from normal. Science, math, and language arts was spent on a movie or video or something. Social studies was a pizza party; since it was the period before lunch, and I had taken on four slices of pizza, I ended up skipping my very delicious lunch-dumplings! It's still in my backpack right now. It's in a thermos...do you guys think it's still edible? I mean, it's in a thermos! P.E. was really, really normal, other than having my teacher wish us a Merry Christmas. We are in the football unit, and I suck so bad at it...it hurts when you catch the football. Sucks for me. And drama class was normal, except we got some papers back. My teacher takes a loong time to correct stuff like that. We took a test somewhere in the middle of November, and guess what? I got an A! I'm amazed, 'cause it wasn't easy at all. Well, maybe a little bit...
Yesterday at school, all my friends were giving out these really nice gifts. There was candy, candy canes, chocolate...I didn't give anything out 'cause I'm lazy. xD But my bestest friends and I are going to have a party on the 23rd! So I'll bring some sweets then. No chocolate, though, cause the friend who hosts the party is allergic to it.
As I said before, my mom wants me to take the swine flu shot on the 22nd. That sucks, because I hate shots. I mean, getting it isn't so bad, but when the doctors uncap the needle, I always watch. And I always see the light gleaming off the pointy needle, and I freak out. My friend is also getting the shot on the 21st, so I'm going to ask her whether it hurt more than the normal shots. I hope it doesn't. >.<
The traditional Christmas family party is this Saturday, the 26th. This time, the first time in years, the party's gonna be at my house. That means I haveta clean my room...:( *sigh* But otherwise, I'm looking forward to it.
What else is going to happen?? I guess that's it for my winter break. OH YEAH! I hope I get to go to badminton with my friends again or something...hmm...I'll ask my mom about it. I'm sure she'll agree. What mother doesn't want her child to exercise??
I just noticed something stupid. My school passes out these parent's calendars, and I keep the calendar and put it on a wall where I can easily see it. The calendar is the type of thing where they give you the holidays and school-related events. I also mark my own events on the dates. This time I marked an "Uh-OH!" on the 22nd because of the swine flu thing. There was a Board of Education Meeting on that same day, and it was posted on the calendar. I put "Uh-Oh!" right underneath those words. It looks like I'm dreading the meeting, when I'm not even going to attend. LOL!
I guess that's all that's happening. I wish everyone reading here a MERRY CHRISTMAS! Remember, get lots of presents! (Giving them would be good too.)
May your break be blessed.

I have two things I forgot to include~
First, I plan to make a digital art picture and send it to the KidzEra magazine. Now it's not decided yet; I still gotta talk to my parents. And I'm gonna talk to them AFTER I finish drawing my picture. I use TwistedBrush to draw, by the way, if anyone's curious. What do you guys think of this plan?
Second..well, I forgot. Umm....I think I can come up with something sooner or later....ugh....Geez! I seriously forgot! I have a horrible memory! I guess I'll edit this post again when I remember. xO
PS. My keyboard is being a jerk. Or maybe my fingers are. I always type the wrong keys. Is that the keyboard's fault or my fingers' fault? I think it's my fingers' fault. BAD FINGERS! O:
I'm done now. Or maybe not. If I remember the second thing, I'll edit this post ASAP. Have a great winter guys!~
EDIT AGAIN! Saturday, December 19th, 2009. 5:42 PM
I mentioned before that I used TwistedBrush, then realized that I already put that on the part of this blog that described me. I also had put something about my fear of needles in that same place, but like a total moron, I repeated that very unfortunate fact in my original post when I mentioned the swine flu vaccine. DUMB AJ! >:O And no, this isn't the second thing. It's just something I just realized. You can call me an idiot, 'cause I totally agree with you. Remember, if I ever remember the second thing, I'll re-edit this post! AGAIN! MWAHHAHAHAHahA! Have a great winter. :)

Jabber Jabber...
HEYA~! Winter break is coming soon <33 YESSHH!!!! I can't believe it! I've been looking forward to it~ But before it comes, some important stuff will be due....-_- Like this science experiment thing...and my school elective, drama, will be hosting a play. I'm not very confident. We were given these stories about Roman/Greek/Forgot gods, and we had to write out the script. There are people in my group that tick me off. They want to have their own way, and when they say "I don't want to practice" I just stand there, not knowing what to say. I really want them to have it. GAAAHHH! Maybe I'll make myself sick when the performance comes...>.<
Enough complaints. I got an A+ on a math test recently, hallelujah. I took my VERY FIRST POP QUIZ IN SCIENCE CLASS THIS YEAR! xD It's not very hard, and it's super short. But you know what I hate about short quizzes? If you get one wrong, it'll cost you, like, 15% off your score. :( That can't be right~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Today was Minimum Day. I got dismissed from school an hour early, hallelujah. There was also an annual Scholastic book fair going on that started on the 7th. I got a total of five books and one stationary (a multi-pen), which cost me, like, 35 bucks? The books weren't too bad, I guess. One was the first book in the "Icemark Chronicles" or something: "The Cry of the Icemark". It's not a bad book at all. And considering how many pages it has (472) and cost only $6.30, it's a really good deal (for me, anyways). ^^
My very good friend's b-day party is coming up! There'll be all sorts of activities. She's going to teach us how to knit. We're going to play games. We're even gonna do a Secret Santa game! I'm sooo looking forward to it. Speaking of parties, my family's going to have an annual reunion again, like the Thanksgiving one. This time-well, guess what it's going to celebrate? C_r_s_m_s. Since last time during the Thanksgiving party my only same-aged cousin couldn't go, this time I hope it'll all work out. I look forward to a very exciting Winter Break...
Happy Early Christmas, everybody! ^^

THANKSGIVING BREAK! WOOHOO!!!!
YESSHHH IT'S THANKSGIVING BREAK! See, this is the type of thing that keeps me alive. Even though it actually started yesterday, I only had time to post today. :3
Yesterday a bunch of my friends and I all went to BBC, or Bay Badminton Court, to play for a few hours. I happen to be somewhat experienced in badminton. It's a really great sport, and it gets your muscles going, and it's super fun. I went with a girl, age 11 (since I happen to be extremely private, I'll give them nicknames. This one's "Omg"), a girl aged 10 (TammPam), another girl aged 10 (Crimson) and a boy, TammPam's brother, aged 7 (Annoie). Of course our parents came along too. The time we spent on the court was almost nothing; we were having so much fun. I think I've improved-I can slam the birdie or shuttle almost all the way across out of bounds to the other side. But now my arms and neck are aching. :( Not a surprise, though.
After badminton we all went out to eat lunch together at a Chinese place. It was sooo yummy! There was macaroni in soup with peas and ham. There were rice noodles on a plate dathered (okay, I feel like I should make this word "dathered" even though it doesn't exist. This adjective/adverb/whatever refers to something being soaked in something, usually involved with cooking or sauces) in this brown, soy-like sauce that gave the noodles a real twist. There were juicy, hot fried chicken wings (sorry vegetarians >_<) and eggs. There were pieces of French Toast with something like butter in between. Yes, my friends, that was truly the meal for someone like me.
After THAT, we went to TamPam's and Annoie's house, which is an apartment room. Here I must stop for a minute. I called Annoie, Annoie, because he IS annoying. He happens to be spoiled and wants his own way, and during games, he doesn't hesitate to say that he's a "professional" and the others "suck" and "I WANNA PLAY THIS!" and doesn't falter in breaking some rules. But other than that, it was very fun in their apartment. We played WiiSports on their Wii, and I made a Mii account. We also went down to the garage (with parental permission and supervision, of course) and fooled around with TammPam's bike and played with one of those big-gish, soft balls made out of rubbery material (forgot what they were called). We played kickball, kickback, and more. We played until 7:40 and that's when our parents came to pick us up. Now THAT'S one way to spend a day in Thanksgiving break.
Today nothing special is happening. Tomorrow is our traditional family party with our cousins, uncles and aunts. But today, we're just kicking back and relaxing. Maybe we'll (my family) eat dinner at my grandmother's house. But other than that, it's the complete opposite of yesterday. Which is good because, as I said before, my arms and neck are aching.

Friday the-Oops. That was yesterday.
It's been a while since my last post. First, I want to thank a friend(PwintphyuX3) for following my post and posting all these wonderful comments. Let's give her an applause! *clap clap clap* I'll be commenting on your posts as well, as thanks....
Well, a lot's happened. I've gotten my friend's b-day present for the party SOMEWHERE IN DECEMBER. Hehe. I also got an A on a project for social studies. And I've been getting a lot of spam in my e-mail. 7 of the same emails about something I won't mention!!
Yesterday was Friday the 13th. *shiver* Some people may believe in it, but some may not. I believe in it, but only for fun. Besides, it did seem a bit unlucky for me, because I got assigned a bit more homework than usual....-sigh sigh sigh-
School has been OK. Nothing hard or troublesome happened. I've been having these hilarious dreams. I guess I'll tell one to you:
There was this Christmas party at school, during a certain period, and my strict P.E. teacher was in charge. She shouts very easily. The party was a game that could only be played by people with masks on. You know, those masks that only cover your eyes? But no one brought a mask, and my teacher was going around row by row, scolding and shouting at us. "WHY DIDN'T YOU BRING YOUR MASK?" She was coming nearer to where I was, and since I didn't have a mask, I turned to the girl I imagined behind me who had glasses and, since I have glasses, I whispered, "Hey, wanna switch glasses?" She agreed and we switched. When my teacher saw me, she broke into a huge smile directed towards me and the girl behind me. "Great masks! Go ahead and join the game." While I was dreaming it didn't seem very strange, but when I woke up, which wasn't too long after, I regained my common sense.
That was the best dream ever, huh? LOL. Um...back to school! Some grades were established. A=Math, A+=science, A=P.E. I'm confident of an A in social studies. I'm also confident in an A- at least in language arts. Wish me luck~~~

A Really Nice Night
I know it's late, and I already posted, but I just HAVE to add this in. I just had dinner and it was one of those cooking-boxes-with-fire-and-requires-fuel-that-has-a-pot-on-it-and-the-fire-cooks-food-that-is-in-the-pot. It was reallly delicious-no rice today, like we usually have it. Just plain chicken and beef (sorry vegetarians) and vegetables and white rice noodles...and it's all nice, fresh, hot...and dosed in delicious oily hot tasty soup, tinged with slight, numerous, varied flavours...it was wonderful. But the best part was the talk. The men of my family (it's weird typing that phrase) are always so entertaining, and I often join in the conversation. The topics are really random, from about Bill Gates (good things, of course) to evolution to how we should, instead of saying "Oh God", say "Oh Science" or "Oh Aj"...whoever you believe in, if you are not religious...
Today it was totally random. And it was soo funny; I laughed so hard tears came to my eyes, and I even had to step out to the living room right next door to relax. I came out because of two topics. One was about how much hair my brother had. I shouted, "I HAVE WAY MORE HAIR!" and my whole family just burst out laughing...including me. It's nice to be who I am and still be appreciated. The other time was when we were talking about hair, and my dad remarked that my brother has finer hair than me. I asked whether we could clarify that, like a ruler or something. I was just joking, but then he said "Yeah we could, I have it downstairs right now." And I couldn't help but just thrust my head forward with a "SERIOUSLY!?" Then I burst out laughing, and my laughing made my family laugh with me. I excused myself and buried myself into the couch, trying to get a grip. I don't know why I laughed, but it felt good. I hope more dinners are like that.

A Little Bit of Something
So school ended like usual, and this time I remembered to bring my gym uniform home. xD But I still have to turn in that dumb "absent" all-teacher-signing slip...I'm soooo late.
But after school, something funny sorta happened. As soon as I got home, I went straight to Microsoft Word and started typing some sort of news article. Here we go:
The Dark Side of Being Nice
By AjGirl
***
Ever heard of karma? You know, you do a good thing, something good happens to you, and if you do a bad thing, vice versa? Well, don’t have your whole life depend on karma, because it doesn’t always work.
Unknown grader Aj Girl, age unknown, and her mother were driving around in a car on Friday, October 6th at around 4 PM. Mrs. Girl was a very nice person who drove pretty well, and when another car came up from behind to meet her, she let it drive past her. Now, she had just arrived at her destination, and she had already picked out the perfect parking place: no meters, plenty of space, very close to the “37” dessert café. And it was just ahead of her; she only needed to drive a few more yards, and she was there.
Aj was staring out of a side window, daydreaming, when her mother suddenly let out a yelp. “My parking! They stole my parking!” Aj’s head immediately snapped to face the very car her mother had let past, right in front of them-and slowly sliding into the parking space her mother had planned to go into. There was absolute silence.
“It took a while for my head to adjust,” Aj recalls. “I didn’t get what was going on. All I knew was that it was something bad that had happened; I mean, NO ONE would shout ‘They stole my parking!’ for no reason, right?” she adds.
That is right, Aj, something WAS wrong. Her mother had showed the same generous attitude that she usually showed-and paid the price. But luckily, Mrs. Girl had a sense of humor; her shock didn’t last long. In fact, by the time the Super Minor News kid reporters had reached her, she was laughing.
“It’s not really a big deal, and I can’t say that it was wrong,” she admitted. “But maybe I should stop being so nice. After all,” she adds, “it wouldn’t be fun if EVERYONE were nice, right?”
This case has been defined by the involved persons as minor, and has been filed into our “It’s Nothing, But It’s Interesting” folders.
--Aj Girl
Haha. Isn't it awesome? Comment if you like it :P (By the way, my real name and person info has been changed to "unknown" and "Aj Girl". I'm personal, deal with it :P)
Something else happened to that was minor! My dad was bidding on eBay, and he had 2 more minutes before a bid was decided. He was watching the computer carefully when I bumped into him, and, being the interested girl I am, I decided to watch. So there we were, staring intently at the screen, and all of a sudden I said "Do you think you'll win?" and started a conversation. In fact, we were so occupied, we forgot to watch the screen, and when one minute ticked away, we realized the bid had gone up! So we quickly rebid, but 20 seconds before the auction ended, the bidding price went up waaay past what my dad was willing to spend. So we gave up and guessed what price would win. I guessed 126, and my dad guessed 124. (that's in dollars, folks) As the seconds ticked away, the numbers changed: 118, 120, 122...Come on, a little more!...and as the last second showed up, the number changed to 125. It won. Sheesh, it just HAD to be a number that wasn't guessed, huh?

It's a new week!!
First I need to thank everyone who came here to read my posts, even though I can't think of a good reason why someone would come. >< I will do my best to make this a blog <33 ^^^^^^
Lately I've been sick =o= I've been sick on Thur all the way to Sun (the weekend! D:) and I'm still a bit sick today, but I'm growing better. Hopefully. Too bad that wasn't the swine flu, otherwise I'd already be H1N1-resistant. Everyone stay strong! Wash your hands frequently and don't eat nasty stuff. The swine flu is nothing!
Homework is seriously piling up on me, but I'm slacking off. Mr. Talsky's project (my teacher) was already due today and I turned it in...Mr. Lesausky's assignments are long, and I still have yet to finish them. And there's a short story for Ms. Woodard...and blah...But of course I always have time for my computer. Just so many people are on! At least I know one person who's always on, without fail. It's fun talking to 'em. :) To tell the truth, I hate being alone. It's so scary...
Today I had a super weird dream. I dreamed that I was a voodoo doll and I was being held by a huuge human hand. There was a needle in me, but I didn't feel anything. I felt pretty dead inside. My head felt heavy-that sort of dead. It was scary. Like I wasn't even a person. Like, I'm not who I am...as if I'm someone else, somewhere else. (Quoted from "The Invisible Detective", not a bad book indeed)

can't think of a title :(
Well, it's conference week, which means every day of this week is minimum day. Now normally I would throw out confetti and shout "hooray", but to me, for two days of the week, minimum day is USELESS. that's because i'm in drama, and we're having a play-5 Japanese Ghost Stories. You can see it if you want-$3 per person, $10 per family. 7:00 PM at A.P. Giannini Middle School in SF. It'll be so coolios. Anyway, we have to have after school rehearsals RIGHT after school ends for tomorrow and the day after. (wonder if that sentence made sense?) and i'm so tired, and i'm sooooo lazy, but I'll do my best to make a post. sorry about the spelling; i'm just EXHAUSTED.
well, for my 2nd-3rd periods in school today, my teachers were absent, and there were subs. that's the biggest proof that it's flu season day. NOT H1N1, but might be. dunno. there was no info.
umm...well, since school ended an hour early, i left the building and went to the spot where my mom always picks me up (through car). But then i realized-oh snap, my mom didn't know it was conference week! i forgot to remind her! i considered going into the building, but it was already closed down to outsiders (it was 2:50 then; class ends at 2:25). i considered walking home, but it was too dangerous. I ended up staying and waiting for a few minutes, doing some h/w, and finally giving up and wandering over to Polly Ann's across the block. All the customers were gone, and it was 3:07. I bought a sprite (i was both hungry and thirsty, so i figured soda would do me good) and a box of appleheads (i love appleheads!!!) and wandered off back. then in front of APG, not too far from my mom's and my meeting place, i found my friend Chelsea just sitting there, waiting. I went over and said hi, and she said hi, and we starting talking about goodness knows what. finally, i realized she had a cell (it was around 3:20). i asked whether i could use it and she said yes, so i used it to call my mom. when she said "OH i'm so sorry, i'll be there" i could barely hold back my frustration, even though i feel ashamed of it now. so i just hung up after saying bye, then gave the cell back to chelsea. and then i began to curse. (in a good way. i censored my words :3) later my mom drove over and picked me up, and as for apologies, she drove me over to Baskin Robbins and i got my faaavorite treat-a Reese's medium 31 below. it's so awesome; i love it <33333!!!1
i guess that's what happened today. im sooo tired; i feel like collapsing. thanks for reading. night :)

Late Post!
Being on at 11:34 PM is not something to be proud of...whew...*sweat drops*
Well, I'm gonna log soon, but something awesome really happened today...
Usually on weekends I sack myself in front of my computer. But lately my computer has been having problems, and after many days and trials, my dad fixed it. Yay! *confetti* (It used to crash every ten minutes but now it doesn't <3 ) So as a celebration, at around 6:30 we went out to Moonstar buffet in Daly City. (It was a quick decision; my dad announced it five minutes before I dressed. It was a biiig surprise)
So then we arrived at Moonstar at around 7:09 PM, but there were huuge crowds of people there! What was there, a reunion? (No offense meant; reunions are awesome.) So my family and I ended up waiting 45 MINUTES. That's crazy, guys!! We finally got to eat at 8, and hopefully we all know that Moonstar stops serving food at 8:30.
Before we got to our table, the receptionist had to stuff four blue tickets into the black check pad thingamajiggy. Now I had no idea what those were. I guessed that it was a certificate for leaving the restaurant, to prove you were there for a reason. My dad guessed that it was a coupon. As if! All it had was six random numbers on it. Each ticket had a different number. Our tickets ranged from 066500 to 066504. We figured it was nothing, and ignored it.
So at 8:30 or so there is an announcement. "Raffle is gonna start soon!" And then we realized the blue tickets were meant for a raffle. Who cared, though? We NEVER win raffles. We're not a lottery-gambling family, I'm happy to say. So we just continued eating while the announcer called out random numbers. "066207." "066389." And then..."066502."
WAIT A SECOND. My brother and I were the only ones at the table with the tickets, and as my brother was playing his DS, I took charge and glanced at the tickets on my table. 066500....066501...066...502!!!
Well that got me going. I shook my brother hard and stuffed the ticket into his face. "We won! We actually won! Where's mom? Where's dad?" He put down his DS (credit to him, the gamer) and grabbed the ticket. In the distance, I could see my dad coming up. He had a big smile on his face, but before I could tell him "WE WON" he said, "I know! I know!" How's that for a memory?
So my dad and I zoomed over to the front desk with the ticket. Once we got there, we just stood, unsure what to do. Then I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned around. There was a lady dressed pretty neatly next to a crate full of bags of candy. "Did you win?" I nodded and handed the ticket over. She examined it, ripped it, put it down, and gave me one of the bags of candy. "Congratulations!"
Well, that got me going. It was my first winning raffle. Back at home, my brother and I split the candy. I got lollipops, bubblegum, M&M's, Hershey's Milk Chocolate, and more. I stuffed it all in a reaally cool metal plaid-ish box my friend gave me for my b-day. That was my Box of Sweets (BOS for short). And now, when I open it and look at it and see all the lollipops, Jolly Ranchers (I added those in; I had them for another b-day present), Butterfingers, well, I just felt happy inside. That event made my day!! THANK YOU MOONSTAR BUFFET!

What Just Happened?
Okay, so, my school day went regularly today. I mean, everything was normal. I've got some homework on the weekends, blah, etc., etc...
After my last period I was helping my teacher out. She's a new teacher and is really a mess, so I usually tidy up the room before going out. My mom expects me late.
Well, a female janitor came in to empty the recycle bin and she remarks, "I wish someone would help me too." And I don't know why, but I said, "I have time" because I did. So I ended up helping her carry some recycle bins, taking the school elevator (first time in my life O.o) and sorting out the stuff that should go into the trash can that were in the recycle bin, etc., etc. And then here's the amazing part.
I speak a tiiinny bit of Mandarin, and some more of Cantonese. The janitor and I went outside at one point, and we saw an old Chinese man in dirty clothes rummaging through a compost bin. The janitor told me she always gave him some food since he was always looking for it, so she and I went out to give it to him. Well, he just waved his hand in a "hi" gesture over and over. Apparently he didn't speak English. I tried Cantonese. "Do you want this?" and pointed to a milk carton in my hand. He just waved, so I tried something else: Mandarin. "Do you want this?" (That's one of the only phrases I know." He immediately started off on a chatter in Mandarin about blah, blah, I can't understand. He pointed to the sky, and I realized he must be taking food for the birds. He also said something about "cows" and I think that was related to milk. So I just nodded politely and smiled, and I said "Good bye" and went back in with the janitor. Shortly after I ran to my locker and all the way back to my mom, who was patiently waiting.
Now here's how I feel. I feel sort of proud about the incident with the man. At the same time, I'm worried. I mean, what if the janitor asks me to do it again? Today was only an exception. I really made my mom wait (30 minutes-wow) and to be honest, I would rather not do it. I don't feel ill of anyone, but I don't want to go through that again, if you get my drift. Good thing it's the weekend.

I'm a Newbie~
Um, I'm a newbie at this. Just created a blog less than 10 minutes ago...so, yeah. If you have any advice, gimme! :3
Well, today I had school (duh). Um...I guess it was OK. My classes were pretty average, yeah, yeah. I guess I'll put a little timeline:
>SCIENCE-Pretty good. Finished some stuff. Got a 100% grade on an assignment
>SOCIAL STUDIES-Normal, as usual. Didn't really learn much today, but it was interesting.
>MATH-Pretty good, which is normal. Math is my best subject :P
>LANGUAGE ARTS-We had a substitute today. I forgot his name (sorry, sub) but he was nice. The whole class sorta slacked off, though. We did the classic DO NOW and the rest of the time was ours. I spent the time drawing on binder paper with my table mates, who are reaaaaallllllyyyyyyyy nice :)
>P.E.-On the bad side, but only slightly. We did frisbees today (the hard ones). I got slammed on the knee and my head was nearly knocked off by three frisbees. Not a very happy thing, but luckily I didn't get hurt too badly. Afterwards, someone lost a frisbee and my teacher kept us in a few minutes lecturing us. Luckily I dressed into my clothes at the speed of light and I wasn't late for my next period.
>ELECTIVE (DRAMA)-I'm going to refer to my elective as "Drama" now. Um...a play is coming up next Thurs-Fri, and I'm looking forward to it. I'm pretty confident my class'll do fine. Today we just went through our scene again; got most of it before the bell rang.
What else was there? Oh yeah. Today was Minimum Day, which means the whole school got out an hour early. And next week is conference week, which also means I'm busting out an hour early. Intriguing...I guess there's gonna be a lot to do.
Since I want to put everything in one post, I'm going to ramble off about a few things about myself.
I'm not exactly the quiet type. Yeah, now that I think about it, I'm sorta loud. I'm friendly to the shy ones and the friendly ones, and I'm mean to the mean ones. It's that simple. You bite, I bite back. You speak, I speak back. Aj see, Aj do.
Um, speaking of "Aj", that's going to be my nickname on this blog. (So call me that.) I don't know why I chose "Aj", but it sounds short, sweet, and it's easy to remember, which is a must for me, the one-who-forgets-everything-she-experiences. I'm also lazy, and I love to sleep, but I still get good grades. I'm a strict A student and I really care about my report card. But I'm sort of easygoing, I guess. I mean, if someone asks for help, I usually help them. And if they say something like "Oh that's sorta dumb, why do you care about good grades?" I'll just say "Dunno." I guess I'm not sensitive.
Umm, I love to type and write stories on Microsoft Word. This is my first blog online, and I'm really unexperienced. Oh, great. I just repeated what I said in the first paragraph. UGH. *slaps self in face* Don't I have anything else to say?
I guess this is it. My next posts shouldn't be too long. I'll probably ramble about my day, and put what I dreamed, etc., etc. But hey. A post is a post, right?
Peace.
