Songs to Remember: 91 - Peaches (8-Bit w/ Organ) - Arron Krogh
I'm doing this post a bit early (well, earlier than I usually do em') 'cause something's been bothering me for the whole day.
I've been doing nothing all day (which I usually do). I've noticed I just sit around, watching YouTube videos, doing f***ing gaming s***, man, I'm even bored out of all these games now. Remembering what happened yesterday night, I feel like s***, that I'm alone and it ain't fun. Sitting around at home doesn't even compare to the fun stuff I got to do during the dance. Hell, it's probably the highlight of my 2nd year now.
I can see why people go to these events and stuff now for clubs; it's 'cause they stop the urge to have fun. And it is fun. So I'm like "Damn, this is boring". Oh, and pictures came today. Well, posted on Facebook. I turned out looking pretty rad in em'. Well, for the most part. And they were actually posted by that one girl, Sn, even when I didn't have her added. Facebook's like "Your friend Nt has been tagged in this photo" and there I was. Also, turns out I was right. Sn actually does fit her name, heh. She goes by a fairly unique nickname rather than her actual name, so it was pretty hard finding her. Turns out, she's a senior so, that assures me one thing: don't be on with her.
As for future dances, sure. I'll go to them, if they're relatively close and that people from my school go to them as well. Right now, I got work to do (which I'll most likely do tomorrow) aaaand I'm off to feel some more. As in, looking at Instagram posts filled with people's lives. Including TVXQ pictures. Lots and lots of TVXQ pictures. Thanks a lot Yn. Oh, and I also spoke to Yn after about a month. She was sitting across from me at a lab table for the test on Friday. Yeah. I'll see you tomorrow.

Friday, February 27, 2015 "When I Met This Dance to Eliminate."

Week: 28
Songs to Remember: Pretty - Infinite H, BAAAM - Dynamic Duo, Go Nowhere - Infinite H, Twilight - Free TEMPO, Mileage, Jung Yong Hwa
I just realized there's more to the purpose of this dance other than to just raise money for awareness for MNT. That teens can use this as a way for parents to say yes to go dancing and partying rather than studying. "Why aren't you spending the night studying? You should be studying" "But mom, I'm saving the children hereee"
Alright, so it's 3:39 PM right now, and, I'm getting a bit over-hyped here. I just need to calm down, wait for the experience, calm down, wait for the experience. Also, it's semi-formal. SEMI-F***ING-FORMAL, remind myself that. Nothing to worry 'bout. In the meantime, while just, wasting time before that 6:00 PM start to go time, I'll do the regular. World History, umm, went over notes again, took some notes, and, that was it. Very, very relaxing. English, we had a sub today aaaand we just got in our groups again and discussed some articles. Oh- and f***, I just remembered that we have a story to read over the weekend. Ehhhh.
So a miracle happened in Chemistry today right. I knew I was ready for the test, got everything I need (if I need it, which I did) on my notes-sheet. I was taking the test, then came across these questions. They were about finding the new boiling points/freezing points of some compounds and whatever. I was like "Huh, I don't remember how to do this". So I look on my notes-sheet and I'm like "Awww f***, I forgot to write it down last night". I decided to just do my best and guess the best. In my opinion, I'm a very good guesser, I pick the most logical looking answers. I guessed on them (about 4 of them. They were 3 points each. Ouch) and moved on to the free-response questions.
The free-response questions seemed fairly easy. I was hoping there wouldn't be any of those boiling/freezing point questions on the free-response, but of course, there were. I was like "F***, how am I gonna guess on this". But then I looked at the question and the numbers they gave me, and I sorta remembered the formula, and since the numbers they gave me were just like the questions about molarity, which I knew how to do, I assumed you just do the molarity and multiply by the constant for boiling/freezing. I went back to the multiple choice part where I guessed, did what I did, and see if my answer was one of the choices. And it was. I was like "Oh my god, is this the current-test clutch".
So yeah, I think I got those right. That was amazing though, that I figured out how to do them DURING the test (hopefully it was close to correct). Anyways, P.E is getting me sore arms and legs again. Math, we received our quizzes back today. 76/100. Ssssssss, oooh. Not bad, considering all the Trig class averages were like around 70, buuuut, could've been better. And finally, Chinese. Uhhhh, Vh was here today. We just went over some vocabulary for lesson 8, I finished work in class, aaand now here I am, 3:58 PM.
I'll make some last minute writing before I make me way. Makin' my way downtown, walkin' fast, faces pass, and I'm homebound. Alright, clothes somewhat fit (somwhat), 6:12 PM, don't wanna go too early, don't wanna arrive on time. Just wanna arrive at the right time. Which, is probably gonna be 6:45-ish, or so. I'll cotninue this post once I get back. God damn my mom put too much cologne on me.
7:00 PM to 10:00 PM is ALOT, longer than I expected. For some it goes by quickly, for me, damn. I don't think I ever danced in my life. Well, at least with others. Except that one time at that bootleg science camp in 5th grade, but that doesn't really count. Anyways, I got a lot of explaining to do.
Alright, so during the car ride, I felt my heart beating faster and I'm like "Drew, calm, the f***, down". As we were approaching the place, I was expecting it to be a lot bigger. I visualized it as like, having huge steps like that one place in Washington D.C. But nope, it was a very small complex, looked like a lirbary, really. Outside it was fairly cold. The parking lot was right in front, my parents dropped me off, and I went in. The atmosphere: it was fairly mellow, I thought that there would be more people, turns out there wasn't. By the way this is my initial reactions and stuff, I'll be covering post-dance stuff towards the end.
So I walk in, I'm looking for Cd, I'm looking for the ticket place, and I found the ticket place. That's not the only thing I found. As I was picking up my ticket (I signed up for the dance online), just to my left, I see Cd. I'm like "Well this was easier than I expected". So the ticket people found my name, got me my ticket, then marked a heart on my hand for authentication purposes, then u go over to Cd (who was like, the initial person letting people in to the dance room) and said "Hi, are you CD?" She replies "Yeah. Wait, *sigh*, you're Andrew!" I'm like "Yeah, heh" and she's like "OMG, I need to tell Jn! I'll catch up with you later!" and I'm like "Aight, heh". So I'm thinking "Alright, alright".
I sit down at an empty table (all the tables were empty pretty much), and just, absorbing the atmosphere. I'm sitting there and my old buddy (who I was not expecting to show up actually, kinda forgot about her, heh), Ct, well, another Ct (not the one at my school), comes up to me and she's like "Hey, you're Andrew!" and I'm like "Yeah" and she's like "Do you remember me?" I reply "Yeah, you're Crystal right?" So she's like "What school do you go to now?" and I'm like "*insert school name here*" or something. I don't remember what was said after that.
I was still sitting in the same place, I see that there's a DJ and there was like bootleg lights and stuff. I just reminded myself "Absorb the atmosphere". And I was. Then, some people from my school came and I was still sitting there. I see that they were getting food so I was like "Aight". There was a lot of stuff, lots of fatty chips and cookies, perfect for burning them calories when dancing, heh. So I'm there, I finish my cookie, a few people are dancing, Cd's just trying to hype people up to dance, and I'm seriously, just trying to absorb the atmosphere by walking around, looking around.
Seeing as I'm just wandering there, this dude comes over to me and he's like "Hey, wanna play 'Sorry!' with us?" and I'm like "Sure". I'm guessing this'll be more than just absorbing the atmosphere. I'm sitting there, at the table, about 5 other people there too, aaaand some people leave. This girl's like "Aight, aight, I'll come down to the dance floor in like 10 minutes, or when my song comes on". We do about 3 turns of Sorry! and then she and the rest go off to dance. So I'm like "Aight, that was it". Board games became out of the question for me, mostly becausr no one can hear eachother and it's dark. But then, uhhh, I'll just make her name, uh, Nt. Nt, the girl who's like, aight, and hugged me during the beginning year's Table Tennis P.E class when I was returning her jacket after she forgot it. She's an active member of the Interact club and Key club stuff, and being just naturally friendly in general, she was like "Hey Drew" and I was like "Heyyy".
She starts introducing me to her friends, who are probably other active club members, and uh, we decided to take a group picture, just people from our high school. After that, we went to take another group picture outside. Nt came over to me while I was still sitting in the chair and she's like "Come on Drew" and led me along with the group. We did the "arms around each other" stance as to prevent awkward arms. After the that, we went back in to take another picture, but by the professional group picture taker-er So, as we were gonna take the picture, I see the photographer. Yep, Jt. Well, this is just set out right for me, huh? She pretty much looks the same as I remember her. I went up to her after we were done taking the pics and said "Hey, are you Jt?" and she's like "Yeah. Oh my gosh, Drew! It's been so long, hey! What school do you go to now?" and I'm like "*Insert school name*" and she's like "Oh, *school name*. I thought you moved to like, Canada or something, LOL".
So yeah. I think this was time where we decided to dance. Again, Nt led me again with the group. I just, danced. Started with just, I don't know, moving my body. I never really "danced" before, so, I just tried to move according to the rhythm of the song. So I'm there right, this girl of the group's all like "Hi, what's your name?" and I'm like "Drew". She asks "Do you play League?" and I'm like "Yeah". She then proceeds to ask me for my League name. I then proceed to give her my League name. And I'm just like "That just happened. Is this a fake dance?" Anyways, we danced for a bit after that, took breaks, met some other people there like this one dude in the group, he was like something, something, can't remember, "Have you ever been to a dance before?" He's- he's not saying it disrespectfully, just wondering, by the way. I was like "Yeah".
We went in and out frequently for some reason, one person suggested we do Twister, and we did. For a bit. People started wandering other places and that was it for twister. Breaks consisted of either going to the ticket area/picture place/lobby and just stand around, for some reason. Other tines we'd go to the lone fan at the side and just dance there for the fresh breeze. Other tines, we'd go to the snack table and re-hydrate and all that. Surprisingly, there actually was a pitcher of fruit punch. I thought they only existed fictionally, but apparently they're real, heh. 'Cause you know, every dance has to have a punch bowl or something. As far as the dancing went, I just went with the flow. Literally. Just, moved my body to the music, and/or do what everyone else is doing. It's fairly easy to get into it. I also examined how the dancing was set and there were some (and by some, I mean a lot) of groups at first. It then became some more bigger crowds, still definite groups though. Towards the end, you could see a big crowd, some smaller groups (us), and really small groups.
The music choice was... interesting to say the least. With the songs that I sent in on their song suggestion forms, I thought there would be more EDM and the like. No, heh, boy was I wrong. Lots, and lots, of rap. Ranging from classics like Usher's "Yeah" (seriously, that thing is immortal) and Soulja Boy's "Crank That", to newers ones like " Jason Derulo's "Wiggle" and Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda" (that was requested by my Nt). That reminds me. When the song "Wiggle" came on, uhhh (I didn't get that girl's name. I'll just her Sn temporarily), An was like "Hey, *something something related to* Hello Venus' 'Wiggle' song!" and I was like "Oh, yeah!" and she was like "You listen to K-Pop too?" And I'm like "Yeah" and she's like, with her friends, "OMG he listens to K-Pop!" And I'm just like "Again? Really? This is seriously happening right now".
Umm, so yeah. I just danced, did whatever everyone else was doing and I gotta say, going from sitting calmly, breathing and absorbing the atmosphere, to really feeling the atmosphere for myself. Oh and as for dancing, whatever movements, as long as they're going along with the music, can be considered dancing really. I actually learned a lot more dances from this than I probably my ever will, heh. There were some birthday singing, some, ehh, "rap battles", dance battles, etc, etc. Our group didn't pay much attention to it. I noticed that our group people didn't really want to join the big crowd and would rather have others join us instead. Aight. But yeah, no EDM at all. Just straight bootleg songs.
I tried looking for Zi, as she did come, but I couldn't find her. Ehhh. Oh yeah, when I was sitting, I wanted to find out what time it was. It didn't occur to me that I had a phone at the time, heh. I looked around and I'm like "Why-why are there no clocks in here". Out in the lobby too, I was like "Okay, no clocks in her". Only did I find the big roman numeral clock at the top of the dance floor walk did I notice that it was only 8:30 PM, as I was dancing. I was like "Oh my god, this is gonna be forever". Yeah, I didn't think I was gonna be that sweaty 'cause I didn't expect to be dancing, heh. Thank god I only had on two layers only. My mom wanted me to wear a sweater over my striped dress shirt (no idea what you call them) and have the collar stick out to make it "fashionable enough". This one dude in our group, the dude who asked me if I had ever attended a dance before, had on like, 4 layers. I was like "Damn, that dude got f***ed".
No grinding, surprisingly. Well, not surprisingly. I just expected it when the bootleg songs came on that were fit for it, like, "Booty Meat Down" by Kstylis. God, I can't believed I danced to that song. Never in a million centuries, to the end of time, would I have thought I danced to that song. Also, the dancing here wasn't like one-on-one stuff or like a rave or anything. It was more of just an in-between really. I mean, you got groups. That was about it. And they did play the "Chacha Slide". It attracted a lot, and I mean a lot, of people to dance. Weird how that song can control so many hot and sweaty teens.
So yeah, not like a rave at all. Not like a one-on-one dance like in movies at all. A song comes on, your group dances to it, usually one person does a specific move specific to the song, others follow. Also, physical contact. I think there was more physical contact there that I have had, in those 3 hours, than I would ever have in like, 3 months. Lots of shoulder hugging or whatever it's called. Putting your arms around someone's shoulder and doing a group dance thing, or taking pictures. Also, I saw some people wearing heels. After experiencing dancing, I was like "How could you force yourselves to dance while wearing those, like, damn".
A lot of different people from different schools were here. A lot of different people. A lot of the girls from other schools were fairly tall, up at about my height level, some even taller. For our group, a majority of it was just girls. About, ehhh, 6 girls, 3 dudes (including me)? Very small group. Oh, and uh, as Nt and some other people were taking pictures, I see that one of those people was Ky, another old buddy of mine. Didn't expect him to be here though. He's fairly taller than me. Still looked the same as I remember him though. I went up to him when I got the chance and was like "Hey, are you Ky?" and he replies "Yeah" and I'm like "I'm Drew. You remember me?" He didn't at first. He was trying to remember the s*** we did in elementary school. I could barely remember s***. He also was thinking of Drew Nguyen instead of Drew Tran. I'm like "Nah, it's Tran". He recalled some stuff that he seemed to remember, I didn't though. I didn't remember the stuff that he remembered, probably was about somebody else. Oh wells.
After some more dancing, hey, it finally finished. Only after they announced that there was "15 minutes left". Like, by that point I was like "Dear god how do people survive raves then?" And then they turned on the lights and it became turn down for 10:00 PM. We lingered around for a couple minutes, taking some last minutes pictures. I also understand a little bit now of how taking group pictures work. I was in them, heh. Soon, Ky came back and (probably after consulting with Cd or something) he was like "Hey, so you are Drew, huh". He also described this one memory where he came to my house one time and played Pokémon. With that, I did remember that time when he went to my house once. Except, it wasn't Pokémon but Beyblade. Close enough. I was like "Oh yeah, I remember that". That was cool. I didn't remember that memory until now. He's like "You look different than I remember. Did you war glasses before?" I was like "Nope". Maybe that was what was throwing him off.
I was a bit saddened by how, after meeting with my old buddies and just having a quick Hi and Bye, after about, 5 years or so. But during the dancing, I reminded myself, "Drew. Come on now, don't bum yourself out, you're having fun so keep having it". I guess that was that. Seeing them again was alright enough, no need to drag on old strands. Near the end when I was about to leave, seeing as how there wasn't anything left to do, Sn was like "Hey, what school do you go to?" And I'm like "*Insert school name here*". She's like "Hey, she goes to *insert school name* too!" to her friends. She then asked "Are you a Sophomore?" And I'm like "Yeahh". And that was that. Nt leaves, apparently, and so did I.
I sat in the car, it was pretty silent, less traffic this time. By that time, I think I was too tired and sleepy to feel the energy anymore more. I was like "I got a lot to write about". And well, here it is. I gotta say, it wasn't what I expected. I think it was because of Nt's acceptance, with me tagging along and becoming part of the group, I was able to experience the real thing rather than just, watching the experience. So, I'd like to thank her for that. As for everything else, all I have to say is "Wiggle wiggle wiggle". To ger started dancing, just wiggle. Oh god, that reminded me how they playes the "Little Einsteins" rap mix whatever.
As I was walking out, I was like "See ya Jt" and she was like "Bye Drewww". Yeah, that was it. I think that all was descriptive enough, to my memoy. Met a lot of people though. The best part: after playing a League game with my buddies tonight at 12:01 AM, I looked at my notifications on League. She added me. See you tomorrow.

Alright, clothes somewhat fit (somwhat), 6:12 PM, don't wanna go too early, don't wanna arrive on time. Just wanna arrive at the right time. Which, is probably gonna be 6:45-ish, or so. I'll cotninue this post once I get back. God damn my mom put too much cologne on me.
-----------------------------
Well. I am now definitely, thanful for that cologne. Hehe, yeah. The silence in the car right is really nice for reflecting what just happened, and I'm kinda glad it did, heh.7:00 PM to 10:00 PM is ALOT, longer than I expected. For some it goes by quickly, for me, damn. I don't think I ever danced in my life. Well, at least with others.

Ranging from classics like Usher's "Yeah" (seriously, that thing is immortal) and Soulja Boy's "Crank That", to newers ones like " Jason Derulo's "Wiggle" and Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda" (that was requested by my Nt). That reminds me. When the song "Wiggle" came on, uhhh (I didn't get that girl's name. I'll just her Sn temporarily), An was like "Hey, *something something related to* Hello Venus' 'Wiggle' song!" and I was like "Oh, yeah!" and she was like "You listen to K-Pop too?" And I'm like "Yeah" and she's like, with her friends, "OMG he listens to K-Pop!" And I'm just like "Again? Really? This is seriously happening right now".
Umm, so yeah. I just danced, did whatever everyone else was doing and I gotta say, going from sitting calmly, breathing and absorbing the atmosphere, to really feeling the atmosphere for myself. Oh and as for dancing, whatever movements, as long as they're going along with the music, can be considered dancing really. I actually learned a lot more dances from this than I probably my ever will, heh. There were some birthday singing, some, ehh, "rap battles", dance battles, etc, etc. Our group didn't pay much attention to it. I noticed that our group people didn't really want to join the big crowd and would rather have others join us instead. Aight. But yeah, no EDM at all. Just straight bootleg songs.
I tried looking for Zi, as she did come, but I couldn't find her. Ehhh. Oh yeah, when I was sitting, I wanted to find out what time it was. It didn't occur to me that I had a phone at the time, heh. I looked around and I'm like "Why-why are there no clocks in here". Out in the lobby too, I was like "Okay, no clocks in her". Only did I find the big roman numeral clock at the top of the dance floor walk did I notice that it was only 8:30 PM, as I was dancing. I was like "Oh my god, this is gonna be forever". Yeah, I didn't think I was gonna be that sweaty 'cause I didn't expect to be dancing, heh. Thank god I only had on two layers only. My mom wanted me to wear a sweater over my striped dress shirt (no idea what you call them) and have the collar stick out to make it "fashionable enough". This one dude in our group, the dude who asked me if I had ever attended a dance before, had on like, 4 layers. I was like "Damn, that dude got f***ed".
No grinding, surprisingly. Well, not surprisingly. I just expected it when the bootleg songs came on that were fit for it, like, "Booty Meat Down" by Kstylis. God, I can't believed I danced to that song. Never in a million centuries, to the end of time, would I have thought I danced to that song. Also, the dancing here wasn't like one-on-one stuff or like a rave or anything. It was more of just an in-between really. I mean, you got groups. That was about it. And they did play the "Chacha Slide". It attracted a lot, and I mean a lot, of people to dance. Weird how that song can control so many hot and sweaty teens.
So yeah, not like a rave at all. Not like a one-on-one dance like in movies at all. A song comes on, your group dances to it, usually one person does a specific move specific to the song, others follow. Also, physical contact. I think there was more physical contact there that I have had, in those 3 hours, than I would ever have in like, 3 months. Lots of shoulder hugging or whatever it's called. Putting your arms around someone's shoulder and doing a group dance thing, or taking pictures. Also, I saw some people wearing heels. After experiencing dancing, I was like "How could you force yourselves to dance while wearing those, like, damn".
A lot of different people from different schools were here. A lot of different people. A lot of the girls from other schools were fairly tall, up at about my height level, some even taller. For our group, a majority of it was just girls. About, ehhh, 6 girls, 3 dudes (including me)? Very small group. Oh, and uh, as Nt and some other people were taking pictures, I see that one of those people was Ky, another old buddy of mine. Didn't expect him to be here though. He's fairly taller than me. Still looked the same as I remember him though. I went up to him when I got the chance and was like "Hey, are you Ky?" and he replies "Yeah" and I'm like "I'm Drew. You remember me?" He didn't at first. He was trying to remember the s*** we did in elementary school. I could barely remember s***. He also was thinking of Drew Nguyen instead of Drew Tran. I'm like "Nah, it's Tran". He recalled some stuff that he seemed to remember, I didn't though. I didn't remember the stuff that he remembered, probably was about somebody else. Oh wells.
After some more dancing, hey, it finally finished. Only after they announced that there was "15 minutes left". Like, by that point I was like "Dear god how do people survive raves then?" And then they turned on the lights and it became turn down for 10:00 PM. We lingered around for a couple minutes, taking some last minutes pictures. I also understand a little bit now of how taking group pictures work. I was in them, heh. Soon, Ky came back and (probably after consulting with Cd or something) he was like "Hey, so you are Drew, huh". He also described this one memory where he came to my house one time and played Pokémon. With that, I did remember that time when he went to my house once. Except, it wasn't Pokémon but Beyblade. Close enough. I was like "Oh yeah, I remember that". That was cool. I didn't remember that memory until now. He's like "You look different than I remember. Did you war glasses before?" I was like "Nope". Maybe that was what was throwing him off.
I was a bit saddened by how, after meeting with my old buddies and just having a quick Hi and Bye, after about, 5 years or so. But during the dancing, I reminded myself, "Drew. Come on now, don't bum yourself out, you're having fun so keep having it". I guess that was that. Seeing them again was alright enough, no need to drag on old strands. Near the end when I was about to leave, seeing as how there wasn't anything left to do, Sn was like "Hey, what school do you go to?" And I'm like "*Insert school name here*". She's like "Hey, she goes to *insert school name* too!" to her friends. She then asked "Are you a Sophomore?" And I'm like "Yeahh". And that was that. Nt leaves, apparently, and so did I.
I sat in the car, it was pretty silent, less traffic this time. By that time, I think I was too tired and sleepy to feel the energy anymore more. I was like "I got a lot to write about". And well, here it is. I gotta say, it wasn't what I expected. I think it was because of Nt's acceptance, with me tagging along and becoming part of the group, I was able to experience the real thing rather than just, watching the experience. So, I'd like to thank her for that. As for everything else, all I have to say is "Wiggle wiggle wiggle". To ger started dancing, just wiggle. Oh god, that reminded me how they playes the "Little Einsteins" rap mix whatever.
As I was walking out, I was like "See ya Jt" and she was like "Bye Drewww". Yeah, that was it. I think that all was descriptive enough, to my memoy. Met a lot of people though. The best part: after playing a League game with my buddies tonight at 12:01 AM, I looked at my notifications on League. She added me. See you tomorrow.

Thursday, February 26, 2015 "Semi-formal."
Thursday, February 26, 2015
Week: 28
Songs to Remember: Rilla Go - DGNA
I'm hoping this is gonna be fun. It says semi-formal, so I'm going with the most semi-formal attire I can imagine: a button-up shirt with the lines across it, with, dress pants. Yeah I, I don't really own any of those fancy vests or anything like that. My question is, would a tie go good with this?
Alright, real talk, I'm just not gonna focus on s*** other than experiencing the atmosphere, taking pictures, and just have fun. Now, I didn't think 10:00 PM would be that late, but uhh, now that I think of it, yeah, it is. I don't know if I'll have the energy to write down a s*** ton of stuff when I get home, so I'm debating whether I'll write like, right as I get home and up until I leave for the event, or, just write it all out once I get home. I think I'll do the first, just so I can record both my initial feeling, and the after.
Anyway, classes today were fine. World History, we finished notes. English, we finished the movie. Damn was that a f***ing bad movie. I mean, come on, the girl could've gotten off that whale, man. I expected whale riding, and well, I recieved it. Whale, whale, whale, looks like the movie was bad after all. God, why didn't I think of that joke before today? But yeah, I didn't like it, many loop holes in the plot, thin plot, and just, f***ing SeaWorld, aight.
Chemistry test tomorrow. Today er just finished up notes. Uhhh, math test was today. I was doing well, up until the backside. Couplr questions I struggled with, tried to solve em' so I can graph em', got a lot of weird answers. After erasing and retrying, I looked at the problems more carefully and discovered I was doing em' wrong. Fixed em', got through those, the last two questions I was f***end on. Word problem, and a really long system of equations. Didn't finish em'. Attempted the word problem, had a slight undrrstanding, but, in the end, I discovered that the way I set it up, I made em' unsolvable. Shhhhh**.
Oh yeah, and P.E. We did cardio for today, and I did about 10 minutes on a pedal machine thing, then some jump-roping (hadn't done it in like, years), and hula hooping (not even sure that's the way it's spelled, also haven't done it in years). Also, we did weights yesterday, and I haven't lifted in, uhhh, I don't know, last year (not even a New Year's joke, actually last year)? Now I remember why I hated weights. The muscles in my arms tense up so much, it's becomes so difficult to straighten my arms now. Like, I could actually feel the hard muscle in my, under-elbow. Whatever it's called. The place on the other side of your elbow.
Chinese, hey, El wasn't here today. Neither was Vh. A lot of people were on field trips today for academies and such, so, I assumed a field trip. We just worked on Chromebooks all the time on our e-portfolios for lesson 7. And, just studying, no homework, probably one of the few times I'll ever have this again. Awe-some. So, I'm gonna need all the sleep I can get tonight. That is, after I watch more of Vash's let's plays. See you tomorrow.

Wednesday, February 25, 2015 "I Expected This."
Wednesday, February 25, 2015
Week: 28
Songs to Remember: Shower Later - Gary
I was expecting some more plot twists to come along. It only took about half-way for s*** to happen. And it did.
Gonna skip around a lot 'cause I wanna get to the good parts, and because I want to sleep. So, World History. We spent about 30 minutes doing part of a worksheet with like, predications and outcomes of countries after WWII. Basically it was Germany's fault. And, we'll continue it tomorrow. English. We continued watching the movie and surprisingly we didn't finish it today, we still got about 30 minutes left or so. Not sure if that includes the credits or not. I know this 'cause the teacher paused it and it shows the time bar at the bottom. I hate it when that happens when I'm watching a movie (not at a theater), 'cause then I'd know if that would be the ending of the movie or not, or something. Also, my teacher talked about CAHSEE testing soon.
She was like "Guess what" and we were like "What" and she was like "CAHSEE testing next month!" But then she was like "Don't worry, the English part of the CAHSEE is a joke really" and we were like "What". She said that we would have to fail ON PURPOSE, to fail the test. We'd have to be asleep to fail it. She added " Currentlyz after seeing all your guys' work, all of you will probably pass it without even trying. So, I won't need to really talk about it at all, I'll just remind you when the testing date is near". And I was like "Oh, well that's a load off my shoulders". She also said it was at like, an 8th grade level. So, it's gonna be pretty, pretty easy. In my mind, when they said that 90% of people who take it pass on their first try, I was like "Aight". Now that my teacher confirmed it, I was like "Aight. So this test was designed for chumps then". She even said that this test is an insult to our intelligence, heh.
Chemistry, sane boring stuff. Pop quiz today, but we get to use our notes. Fairly easy. Uhh, P.E. I forgot that we're switching every other day so it goes like "Monday: weights, Tuesday: cardio, Wednesday: weights.." and so on. A bit more confusing really, gotta keep track of that, what we're doing in each room, where we're going, what days we run a warm-up lap, etc. In shorter terms, I'd rather just have it be 3 weeks of cardio, then 3 weeks of weights. She said that she's making it like this for it not to be boring. Ehhhh. I could care less really now that I know that we just do stuff in a treadmill room instead of running laps around and around.
And umm, yeah. There's two rooms we're using, one is a cardio room, the other is the weights room. The cardio room is just treadmills, treadmill accessories, etc. The weights room is just bench presses, dumbbells, machines, weights accessories, etc. That's all there is to it. And so, after P.E, I do as I normally do and head on over to my usual spot. My buddy Drew comes over as the bell rings for lunch (the one that's kinda hyper and is always talking about creating an, uh, "African American genocide"), and converses with me. He mentions how he misses having Mr.M, his English teacher. He explained to me how he had him originally during the beginning of the year. I was like "Oh, you switched classes?" He was like "No, he got fired or something" and I was like "Wait, what?!" He explained how Mr.M was dumped by his girlfriend and like, got pretty depresses. He was quiet and depressed, and sat in his chair for a while. He was apparently fired or removed from the district 'cause he was caught drunk here, probably from drinking his sadness away. I asked if he said anything before he left and other Drew was like "Nope, didn't say anything, he just disappeared".
Damn, now that was f***ing shocking. I did not expect anything to happen to him. Mr. M was a cool dude. I believe that the district should give him another chance. He got dumped by his girlfriend, after having been married and divorced three times (don't mention it). Now he's been fired or s***, that's just gonna drive him harder into depression. When I had him last year, he never showed sadness, he only had two emotions only and that was either happy, or pissed off, and that's only when kids were talking two much or f***ing around. Damn, now how is it going to work with the students who are in the E-Tech academy? They need another teacher, now. Also, I tried looking up info on this, not one document had been published oine 'bout this. Thought it'd make news, apparently not.
Anyways, that's that. After lunch came 5th period. We had an easy lesson today, aaand we got to see our scores from the last quiz we took. Yep, 43/58. Ehhhhh. That's a really solid B-, barely a B, but ehhh, I'll take it. I thought I did a bit better, apparently not. There was one questions which I was thinking about answering "Not possible", but, with all the room space there was under the question, I expected no "Not possible"'s. But, apparently it was. Wow. And also, we got to see our grade average for the class. Mine? 84.9%. Yep, straight up B. NOT BAD. I'll take it. Way better than I thought I'd be now. But, it's probably just because of the homework turned in. You get a 60% probably if you just turn all homework in. Quizzes and tests, maybe B's in all of em' and end up with, a B.
So, Chinese class, where all s*** happens now really. I come in, expect there to be seat changes but no, there wasn't. Not yet. We sat down, passes up some homework, took the test, all multiple choice, no pinyin, thank you Confucius, aaand I get an 82/100. Not bad, I'll take it. After that, THEN we switch seats. Hehe, oh god. I see that one cute girl going to her new seat, I'm like "Oh please Confucius, just this once" and I reach in the bin, see that I got "7", and look for seat 7. Which, happened to be right there in front of me, right near the door to the right of the classroom. I look at my team members aaand, well, it wasn't bad. I thought it was aight, I said I'd take it. But of course, this was only half the seating part. The teacher had to switch people around to make it equal boys and girls in each group (for the most part). I see that that one cute girl, let's call her Vh, is sitting with an empty spot right next to her, in a group of just her and 2 other girls. That right there was the holy grail of seats. When the teacher asked me to move "over there", I was like "Oh my- is this happening right now?"
Right when I was about to sit in that spot, the teacher was like "Drew, no this spot". And I was like "Oh". So I go to sit that seat which was like a foot away from the empty seat next to Vh, I thought it was an alright spot, until I saw who was next to me to my right. Yeah. It was El. Ahehehe, now that's what I call a plot twist! But really, you could feel the temperature increase in this spot. Like damn, I had way too many layers. And so, the teacher moved some more people around, and I was like "Well, this is going to be a long 3 weeks". Just then, the teacher moves VH over to the seat behind me. And I'm just like "Well now, looks like this is going to be an even longer 3 weeks, heh". So now I have a nice spot, one that I had always requested, but at the cost of the unforgiving El next to me, heh. Well, I got what I wanted right? Ehhhhhhh.
We got out our books and did a short preview of the next lesson and after we all started packing up our stuff to leave, El just rushes over to the teacher, like "gotta go fast", and I'm like "Oh my- is she seriously going to ask the teacher to switch to another seat?" And whadya know, "Oh my- she f***ing did". See, now I REALLY know that I made the right decision to ask her back in November 'cause this s*** is ridiculous, heh, like come on. And damn, did she look f***ing relived to not be sitting next to me. Like, it's a f***ing temporary seat in a f***ing high school language class! Oh my- this is just too f***ing gold man, I wish I had a digital version of this so I can add it to my dank memes folder, heh. Too god damn ridiculous.
Also, while we were previewing the new lesson, the teacher was talking about how we'll be doing an activity that has to do with us going on "dates" with our partners (the ones sitting next to us) and keeping a list of activities done together, like walks in the park, picnics, etc. The last couple stuff she made up, but I'm not sure about the "dating" activity thing, I don't know if we'll actually do that activity or not. And yes, educational instructional, not actual. I bet El was probably thinking like "Oh f***, oh f***, oh f***, I need to get the f*** outta this seat" and just, gotta go fast to the teacher to beg yo change seats. Jesus, why do I even still mention her in my posts? She shouldn't even be part of the series anymore. But, I keep her in 'cause it's funny how she reacts to just me existing, heh.
Anyways, this one girl's gonna be sitting in the spot next to me now. Vh still sits in the back of me, along with this dude next to her to complete our group. Ehhhhhhh. Really wished VH would be to my right rather than right behind, buuuut, I asked for at least a group, I got it, I ain't complaining. And umm, yeah. Today was Wednesday, so I told my mom I'd stay after school 'till 3 for, reasons. My buddies had a swim meet at another school so they couldn't stay. I was expecting to do homework alone, but an old buddy of mine, or actually, one whom I don't talk to often but was my buddy (unconditionally) last year in P.E, came along and was like "Whatever". He didn't have band practice 'till 3:30 PM or so, so he just stayed with me, on his phone, looking at Twitch, watching Twitch play Pokemon, bidding on CS:GO, buying steam games, etc, as I'm doing homework. Company, it was fine.
I'm STILL expecting more s*** to happen this week. It's only Wednesday, tomorrow's Thursday, then it's it the event I've always been waiting for. Well, at least for a couple weeks or so. And uh, yeah, see you tomorrow.

When the teacher asked me to move "over there", I was like "Oh my- is this happening right now?"
Right when I was about to sit in that spot, the teacher was like "Drew, no this spot". And I was like "Oh". So I go to sit that seat which was like a foot away from the empty seat next to Vh, I thought it was an alright spot, until I saw who was next to me to my right. Yeah. It was El. Ahehehe, now that's what I call a plot twist! But really, you could feel the temperature increase in this spot. Like damn, I had way too many layers. And so, the teacher moved some more people around, and I was like "Well, this is going to be a long 3 weeks". Just then, the teacher moves VH over to the seat behind me. And I'm just like "Well now, looks like this is going to be an even longer 3 weeks, heh". So now I have a nice spot, one that I had always requested, but at the cost of the unforgiving El next to me, heh. Well, I got what I wanted right? Ehhhhhhh.
We got out our books and did a short preview of the next lesson and after we all started packing up our stuff to leave, El just rushes over to the teacher, like "gotta go fast", and I'm like "Oh my- is she seriously going to ask the teacher to switch to another seat?" And whadya know, "Oh my- she f***ing did". See, now I REALLY know that I made the right decision to ask her back in November 'cause this s*** is ridiculous, heh, like come on. And damn, did she look f***ing relived to not be sitting next to me. Like, it's a f***ing temporary seat in a f***ing high school language class! Oh my- this is just too f***ing gold man, I wish I had a digital version of this so I can add it to my dank memes folder, heh. Too god damn ridiculous.
Also, while we were previewing the new lesson, the teacher was talking about how we'll be doing an activity that has to do with us going on "dates" with our partners (the ones sitting next to us) and keeping a list of activities done together, like walks in the park, picnics, etc. The last couple stuff she made up, but I'm not sure about the "dating" activity thing, I don't know if we'll actually do that activity or not. And yes, educational instructional, not actual. I bet El was probably thinking like "Oh f***, oh f***, oh f***, I need to get the f*** outta this seat" and just, gotta go fast to the teacher to beg yo change seats. Jesus, why do I even still mention her in my posts? She shouldn't even be part of the series anymore. But, I keep her in 'cause it's funny how she reacts to just me existing, heh.
Anyways, this one girl's gonna be sitting in the spot next to me now. Vh still sits in the back of me, along with this dude next to her to complete our group. Ehhhhhhh. Really wished VH would be to my right rather than right behind, buuuut, I asked for at least a group, I got it, I ain't complaining. And umm, yeah. Today was Wednesday, so I told my mom I'd stay after school 'till 3 for, reasons. My buddies had a swim meet at another school so they couldn't stay. I was expecting to do homework alone, but an old buddy of mine, or actually, one whom I don't talk to often but was my buddy (unconditionally) last year in P.E, came along and was like "Whatever". He didn't have band practice 'till 3:30 PM or so, so he just stayed with me, on his phone, looking at Twitch, watching Twitch play Pokemon, bidding on CS:GO, buying steam games, etc, as I'm doing homework. Company, it was fine.
I'm STILL expecting more s*** to happen this week. It's only Wednesday, tomorrow's Thursday, then it's it the event I've always been waiting for. Well, at least for a couple weeks or so. And uh, yeah, see you tomorrow.

Week: 28
Songs to Remember: Twilight - Free TEMPO
Three things I'm concerned about: what to expect, what not to expect, and what to do. But my chemistry teacher today, he was all like "It's just high school. Learn to smile". And I'm just like "Ehhhhh".
Smiling when I'm not laughing or hearing something funny is not natural to me. To me it's more of a straight line, and uhh, yeah. I do smile, just, not naturally all the time. Anyways, we finished the movie "Life is Beautiful" in World History. Now, I gotta say, the movie got dark like exactly half-way through the movie. Half of it was joyful comedy, the rest was really, really dark. And yeah, like I said in my last post, there is an essence of some comedy to life the mood, but damn. And the ending was- well, unexpected to say the least.
Well, not necessarily the ending, but the part near the ending. If you don't want spoilers, skip this paragraph. Spoilers in three, two- f***ing why did they have to kill Guido, man. You couldn't have let him live too? And why didn't he fight back? He was alone with the Nazi soldier, he could have used like, a distraction (I mean, he's gotten into a lot of shenanigans shown in the first half of the film, as well as some trickery like with the hats), and like, fought the dude for the gun. But no, he didn't. I mean, I guess he didn't expect to be executed, but I mean, there was no one there. Oh, and what really concerned me, was that it was like, the night before the camp was rescued by the Americans. He couldn't have survived like, a bit longer? And I, oh man, I was really expecting Guido to pop out of that tank. Oh and that doctor riddle dude. I mean, Guido could'a had a deal with the guy, that he'd help him solve the riddle of he got him and his family out of there. Ah, whatever.
So, it was a good movie in my opinion. Funny, depressing, and Roberto Benigni's acting was fun. I give it a 9/10. But that's not the only movie I watched today (oh thank you based teacher). We're watching a movie now in English class. It's like the rest of the movies we've watched: we take notes. This time, we're watching "Whale Rider". I'm like "Ohhhhh nooooooo". As soon as I saw that it wasn't animated, it was to do with a family and theirson/daughter and swimming or ocean related, god. I just don't like those kinds of movies. My opinion so far agrees with IGN. 0/10, too much water.
Anyways, it's about this family, a stubborn grandpa, a daughter who I mistook for a boy (no offense, just the haircut), aaaand stubborn people. Also, half the movie's in another language. There's not even subtitles for that language. Also, they switch languages like it was fluent. One moment, they speak only New Zealand (Maori or something, I have no knowledge whatsoever on their language. Hawaiian?", the next, they're speaking fluent English, and for no reason too. Ah well, sure is better than group work *shudders*.
So Chemistry. Yeah. Very, pretty boring, not, gonna, lie. I gave the teacher dude my AP form for him to sign since I didn't get him to sign my green schedule paper. Umm, he said "Wise choice". And I was like "Aiiigghht". Yes, I do believe AP Bio will be better for me, and I'm hoping I most likely won't regret it. Anyways, P.E. I'm doing weights. During roll coll, I was like "Ay, it's that one girl from my uh, previous weights class". I was like "Okay plot gods, don't do me dirty again and have my roll coll spot be like, 10 spots away from her". And well, this time it worked. I am number 39, aaand she is number 38. Wow. Sooo, I'm guessing I'm supposed to make conversations, right? That's, why they've given me this chance? Aight, I'll see what I can do. And as always, if I talk about wanting to talk to someone beforehand on a post, I probably won't. I just gotta do it in the moment.
Math. Test on Thursday. And, Zi, appears to be sick. Still here, just sick. And apparently, she got me sick too. Thanks a lot Zi. Also, work right now in math, the lessons are fairly straight forward, no random complex s*** in there. Not yet at least. Chinese, uhhh, no test today. That's, nice. For the most part. And of course, the teacher tells us that we're changing seats. She tells us right after class ends. Yeah. When she told us that, everyone was like "Nooo" including Zi. And now, because I talked about how I was gonna talk to her about the note thing, I didn't. But, today, she didn't write a note thingy. Umm, I saw her writing some stuff, but it was just like, one or two words, of the vocabulary we were going over. So, maybe she just remembers stuff by writing it down once? I most likely was over thinking it yesterday. Going too deep, when it's just like "I'm actually just taking notes".
So, this week's going well so far. I'm still fearing for the worst, especially if we get to pick our own seats tomorrow, but I can't get a seat next to that one girl. And well, today was the last day I'll probably be sitting next to Zi. I mean, we'll still be like, walking from 5th to 6th, but you know. I just gotta remind myself: "There's nothing more about it". Or maybe, "Don't be on with her". Yeah, that's more like it. Also, ehh, Yue (almost forgot the name) apparently hangs out like, 10 feet away from where I hang out. She talks to her friends at a spot now, rather than walking around with, whoever. I'm expecting pictures this week. Including the dance. Anyways, see you tomorrow.

Monday, February 23, 2015 "Off and On Notes."
Monday, February 23, 2015
Week: 28
Songs to Remember: Twilight - Free Tempo, Fire - JJCC
To prove how off I was today, I thought it was March. That one post on Facebook with the image macros of that one scene from "Hot Fuzz" where the kid's like "February 22". People commented that it was the 22nd. For some reason, that convinced me that February has only 22 days. Yeah, I don't. I'm off. Hard.
Fortunately, I wasn't that off in 1st period because the movie we were watching actually kept my attention. I had completely forgotten that we were watching a movie last, last week. The movie'a called "Life is Beautiful" by the way. At first I thought it was, pretty funny. It's an Italian movie, subbed, better than the dub. A summary so far, uhh, a really clever and cheerful dude travels with his buddy, he meets this one girl, does crazy shenanigans in impressing her, fast forward several years, they get married and have a kid. Then, Nazis invade France, the family's taken to a concentration camp, and the dad is trying to cover it all up for his son, just, everything.
He tells his son that this is all a game, and that the first person to reach 1000 points will get a cool toy tank. There was comedy during the beginning of this part, then it got dark, still a bit of comedy within the dad and son's relationship, but under really dark circumstances. I mean, this one scene, where they first show the dad carrying an anvil and he's like "Oh, this is too much. I must rest, I can't go on. I'm just gonna lay here" and his buddy at the camp was all like "What are you doing? If you stop, they'll sentence you to death" and like, you could see the dad's face and emotions how tired and sad he was. But when he heard that he would be killed if he stopped, he carried on. Like, he isn't worried about his life, he's worried about his son's future. Really, really good actor, and damn is this f***ing movie making them feels on the bus go 'round and 'round.
Oh god, English class. It really is my least favorite right now, mostly because of clueless group work. But first, we had to take a quiz. The teacher said "Everybody get out tour cellphones!" Now this made me jump a bit, heh. It scared me for a second 'cause I thought I was going off HARD. But no, she did say cellphones. And it was unexpected, and loud. We had to download this app, "Socrative: Student Edition". You could do like, live quizzes and stuff by the teacher. Of course, the quizzes were on the stories we had to read over break. Luckily it was true/false questions, and only 10 of em'. I was hoping for multiple choice, but it was instead true/false, and that was even better, heh. I mean, I remember what I read, I just need a reminder on what I memorized. But yeah, the quiz was easy. I missed only 1 out of 10 questions like an off-person, but not bad. My classmate next to me didn't have his phone today, so the teacher asked if I could share mine with him.
This dude never really does his English homework, he really just does like, part of it and then asks the dude behind me to copy off of. I've talked about him before I think. Anyways, he tells me "Aww s***, I didn't do the reading!" And I'm like "Don't worry, it'll be like multiple choice or something". So I finish taking the quiz, I hand my phone over to him, he finishes, he tells me "I guesses on all of em' and I got 8/10!" And I'm like, trying to act enthusiastic but not too enthusiastic 'cause the teacher's like, right there. So I'm like "Haha, wow". Then, while we were working in our groups on discussions for those stories, the teacher came over, went to the dude, and was like "Not doing the work won't get you anywhere. You WILL suffer for it" or something like that. But damn, did I get chills off of that. Just straight up, bam. Very, very scary.
So I wanted to turn in that Honors English application form by this week or something, so I went to the counseling office, stood in line, and tried to make an appointment. I was like "Hi, I'd like to make an appointment". She said "Reason?" I replied "For to receive a transcript" and she was like "You could just go over there and request one" and I was like "Oh, aight, thank you". My friend Hd just came out the door, she's like "Oh, you're getting your transcript too? I'll wait for ya". I go in, sign up on the sheet, it says "Unofficial Transcript Requests", I have no idea how I'm gonna receive it or when, oh well, leave with my friend. I ask her "Ay, so what are you doing for P.E?" And she's like "Table Tennis/Badminton of course" and she's like "How 'bout you?" And I'm like "Yeah, Table Tennis/Badminton". Oh how I hoped that was true.
Chemistry, very, very boring now. Seriously, I don't talk to anyone in there. Besides this one dude who keeps coming to me and wants me to watch videos on YouTube on his Chromebook or show me Clash of Clans. And sometimes with my lab table members. So, we did a lab today. Very short lab. Do some math problems, find amount of salt needed for a concentration, made salt water, the teacher came around with a "Filipino Christmas Tree" (which was just a ping pong paddle with some wiring and a red, green, and white lightbulb. Basically a thingy that lights up when the wires are placed in ion waters and stuff), and did a little demonstration for each lab table. Very fun, but very boring in doing the actual lab. But, we are doing an ice cream lab eventually so that'll be nice. And uh, yeah, I, just kinda do whatever now in Chem. Yn doesn't really make contact anymore. She goes another route now, going left instead of right. And no, I'm not gonna sing The Fray's "How to Save a Life" because that s*** is f***ing depressing and reminds me of my past buddies at my old old school. Which I'm hopefully gonna see some at this Friday's charity dance. Thing. Those dances where the money goes to a good cause. Those.
I was expecting to not change today, but of course, we were. Upperclassmen (that's us) all had to go to the gym to pick our new classes. The teachers started off pretty pissrd 'cause of so many people that weren't dressed. I mean, it was a weeklong break, people forgot, today we were expecting to not change because we weren't going to be exercising really, aaaand you make us change so, people who usually do didn't bring em' today 'cause they expected no clothing changes today. But, s*** happens. They announced the classes, and because of how the Table Tennis class went, there will probably be some changes on who gets accepted into that class. And there was. They called down people for Table Tennis only first, and only people who had an A as their last grade. They strictly said "Not an A-, an A". Welp, a B+ isn't really considered an A to them. And the teacher, I expected her to check each student card handed to her, so I was pretty afraid to give her my B+ card and hope she didn't notice.
She then called down all the "A-" students only. Well- I mean- oh come on. M card says 89%, just give me that extra percent already. Oh and I forgot to mention, they called down all the Seniors and Juniors FIRST, for Table Tennis. If they want people to show up consistently, why are they letting dudes with C+'s in there, just 'cause they're a Senior or Junior? They didn't specify any grades for them, just, any Seniors and Juniors. Come on now. Then after that, were Sophomores with A's, then A-'s, then, THEN, they were done. Basically a s*** ton of people with A-'s came down, filled up with 37 cards. Yeah, f***ing stupid. After that, they were like "Okay, the rest of you, uhh, B+ people". 'Course there wasn't really a rush anymore, so I just chose Weights/Cardio, along with some of my buddies who couldn't get into Table Tennis 'cause we all had B+'s. Then after that, the teachers were like "Alright, the rest of you with cards, come on down, you're with me for Rugball". Now, there really isn't a choice here actually. They're offering Rugball, Table Tennis/Badminton, and Weights/Cardio. It's not much of a choice anymore, considering you basically get picks into which class by your previous grade, and if you don't like your new class, you'll do bad, and therefore, get stuck in an endless loop. Besides, they always offer Rugball, mostly for the overcompetitive people and the chumps who don't dress or show up. And even if they do ball hard in Rugball, they do s*** on the test and end up in it again.
Yeah, I was, ehh, sorta off in math. The teacher took 10 minutes explaining how fun the coding was when she tried it, and also liked how she us progress through the coding course and see each of our silly little code drawings. She described one of the challenges in the course where you had to create a dinner plate of food and she saw a drumstick made out of an eclipse and rectangle, and in my head, I was like "Ay! That's me!" I made a bootleg drumstick, along with a bootleg pile of mashed potatoes and 2 meatballs. It was supposed to be spaghetti, but I gave up. And so, during that 10 minute talk, I was able to get back on and was able to understand part of the lesson, for the most part. When we were correcting the homework, I looked backa at the one from 2 weeks ago, and it finally clicked in my head. You know that feeling when you realize "Oh s***" and you know how to do it? Yeah, I had that little moment. Also, test on Thursday.
So, I'm in Chinese class. I was very, off. During brunch time, I asked my buddy if we changed seats last week. He said "No, we didn't change any seats". And I'm like "Yeah, I'm off" Honestly, I remember a scene where I was in a different seat. It probably was a dream or something. Anyways, I'm sitting there, Zi's acting tired and stuff when I know she has the spirit of a thousand eagles. Our group member dude behind us. I feel pretty bad for him 'cause he's by himself, like I was in that one group. Group, 4 I think. Group 4, the 2nd one.
We didnt really do much today. The teacher told us what she did over break, Chinese new year, etc. She also had some people share what they did as well. Zi, she just told me she woke up early each day for Badminton try-outs. Yeah, she made em'. After the sharing, the teacher passed out some Chinese New Year candies, those soft ones with like, coconut, uhh, etc. I only know the coconut one. Then, we went over the reading and stuff for this lesson, vocab, etc. Along with other lessons as review too. I noticed today, that Zi is always writing. She writes, very small. I mean, very small. Like, it looks printed, and spaced out. She spaces here letters very widely. In my honest opinion they look like tiny blocks, just saying. Not hating whatsoever, just that I find it unique how her writing is the 2nd smallest I've seen (the first being that one dude in my Chem class).
As I was saying, I would always find Zi writing, and previously, I've seen her writing stuff on a small piece of paper, rolling it up or something, and lighting a blunt. Just, just kidding, heh. She writes on it, the paper's like inches in diameter, rolls it up or crumples it, then, throws it away or something. Today she did that exact thing, she wrote on a small piece of paper, crumpled it up, ripped it a bit, then while the teacher was still doing the reading stuff, she undisturbingly went to go throw it away in the trash. Also I have photographic memory when it comes to s*** like this so for me, it's very vivid and that scares me. Now, what she's doing intrigues me. Like, I sometimes do that. Not the crumpling part and throwing it away, but I sometimes write down s*** I'd like to remember, maybe a joke or something stupid someone said that I'd like to write here.
After thinking for a bit, it could be like a spiritual thing, where she writes down negative stuff from her day and gets rid of it, by crumpling up the paper, written on it are the negative things, and throw it away. Or maybe she writes down what's happened to her throughout the day, then, to signify that there's more to come, she throws it away, or- I don't know, aight. I'm leaning towards the first one, I don't know, maybe it's a hobby, oorrrr, something Key Club/Interact club members do or something. She is in Key Club/Interact Club, and a majority (if not all) members of that club are high spirited/lost the ability to not smile. I don't know. Nothing weird really, honestly. Just intriguing. Maybe I'll ask her about it tomorrow when she's doing that. It'd be pretty cool to talk about that in one of my posts.
This got me thinking about that Facebook page "Humans of New York", where that dude takes pictures of people with a quote from an interview with them. It'd be pretty cool to replicated what he did, here where I live. Inspiration coming? Yes. Talk about it? That's, for another time. I just realized I wrote for about an hour and a half straight. Now that's what I mean when something interests me and can keep my attention, I could go on and on. Also, one last thing. I saw a dude sag his oanta today as I was walking to the locker rooms. He had an Arizona in his back pocket, so, that amplified his sag to maximum levels. But seriously, stop that, heh.
God this was write. I'll see you nerds tomorrow. That's, that's just a joking term I use with my buddies over Curse Voice and Skype. No offense intended. And now, see you tomorrow.

Oh god, English class. It really is my least favorite right now, mostly because of clueless group work. But first, we had to take a quiz. The teacher said "Everybody get out tour cellphones!" Now this made me jump a bit, heh. It scared me for a second 'cause I thought I was going off HARD. But no, she did say cellphones. And it was unexpected, and loud. We had to download this app, "Socrative: Student Edition". You could do like, live quizzes and stuff by the teacher. Of course, the quizzes were on the stories we had to read over break. Luckily it was true/false questions, and only 10 of em'. I was hoping for multiple choice, but it was instead true/false, and that was even better, heh. I mean, I remember what I read, I just need a reminder on what I memorized. But yeah, the quiz was easy. I missed only 1 out of 10 questions like an off-person, but not bad. My classmate next to me didn't have his phone today, so the teacher asked if I could share mine with him.
This dude never really does his English homework, he really just does like, part of it and then asks the dude behind me to copy off of. I've talked about him before I think. Anyways, he tells me "Aww s***, I didn't do the reading!" And I'm like "Don't worry, it'll be like multiple choice or something". So I finish taking the quiz, I hand my phone over to him, he finishes, he tells me "I guesses on all of em' and I got 8/10!" And I'm like, trying to act enthusiastic but not too enthusiastic 'cause the teacher's like, right there. So I'm like "Haha, wow". Then, while we were working in our groups on discussions for those stories, the teacher came over, went to the dude, and was like "Not doing the work won't get you anywhere. You WILL suffer for it" or something like that. But damn, did I get chills off of that. Just straight up, bam. Very, very scary.
So I wanted to turn in that Honors English application form by this week or something, so I went to the counseling office, stood in line, and tried to make an appointment. I was like "Hi, I'd like to make an appointment". She said "Reason?" I replied "For to receive a transcript" and she was like "You could just go over there and request one" and I was like "Oh, aight, thank you". My friend Hd just came out the door, she's like "Oh, you're getting your transcript too? I'll wait for ya". I go in, sign up on the sheet, it says "Unofficial Transcript Requests", I have no idea how I'm gonna receive it or when, oh well, leave with my friend. I ask her "Ay, so what are you doing for P.E?" And she's like "Table Tennis/Badminton of course" and she's like "How 'bout you?" And I'm like "Yeah, Table Tennis/Badminton". Oh how I hoped that was true.
Chemistry, very, very boring now. Seriously, I don't talk to anyone in there. Besides this one dude who keeps coming to me and wants me to watch videos on YouTube on his Chromebook or show me Clash of Clans. And sometimes with my lab table members. So, we did a lab today. Very short lab. Do some math problems, find amount of salt needed for a concentration, made salt water, the teacher came around with a "Filipino Christmas Tree" (which was just a ping pong paddle with some wiring and a red, green, and white lightbulb. Basically a thingy that lights up when the wires are placed in ion waters and stuff), and did a little demonstration for each lab table. Very fun, but very boring in doing the actual lab. But, we are doing an ice cream lab eventually so that'll be nice. And uh, yeah, I, just kinda do whatever now in Chem. Yn doesn't really make contact anymore. She goes another route now, going left instead of right. And no, I'm not gonna sing The Fray's "How to Save a Life" because that s*** is f***ing depressing and reminds me of my past buddies at my old old school. Which I'm hopefully gonna see some at this Friday's charity dance. Thing. Those dances where the money goes to a good cause. Those.
I was expecting to not change today, but of course, we were. Upperclassmen (that's us) all had to go to the gym to pick our new classes. The teachers started off pretty pissrd 'cause of so many people that weren't dressed. I mean, it was a weeklong break, people forgot, today we were expecting to not change because we weren't going to be exercising really, aaaand you make us change so, people who usually do didn't bring em' today 'cause they expected no clothing changes today. But, s*** happens. They announced the classes, and because of how the Table Tennis class went, there will probably be some changes on who gets accepted into that class. And there was. They called down people for Table Tennis only first, and only people who had an A as their last grade. They strictly said "Not an A-, an A". Welp, a B+ isn't really considered an A to them. And the teacher, I expected her to check each student card handed to her, so I was pretty afraid to give her my B+ card and hope she didn't notice.
She then called down all the "A-" students only. Well- I mean- oh come on. M card says 89%, just give me that extra percent already. Oh and I forgot to mention, they called down all the Seniors and Juniors FIRST, for Table Tennis. If they want people to show up consistently, why are they letting dudes with C+'s in there, just 'cause they're a Senior or Junior? They didn't specify any grades for them, just, any Seniors and Juniors. Come on now. Then after that, were Sophomores with A's, then A-'s, then, THEN, they were done. Basically a s*** ton of people with A-'s came down, filled up with 37 cards. Yeah, f***ing stupid. After that, they were like "Okay, the rest of you, uhh, B+ people". 'Course there wasn't really a rush anymore, so I just chose Weights/Cardio, along with some of my buddies who couldn't get into Table Tennis 'cause we all had B+'s. Then after that, the teachers were like "Alright, the rest of you with cards, come on down, you're with me for Rugball". Now, there really isn't a choice here actually. They're offering Rugball, Table Tennis/Badminton, and Weights/Cardio. It's not much of a choice anymore, considering you basically get picks into which class by your previous grade, and if you don't like your new class, you'll do bad, and therefore, get stuck in an endless loop. Besides, they always offer Rugball, mostly for the overcompetitive people and the chumps who don't dress or show up. And even if they do ball hard in Rugball, they do s*** on the test and end up in it again.
Yeah, I was, ehh, sorta off in math. The teacher took 10 minutes explaining how fun the coding was when she tried it, and also liked how she us progress through the coding course and see each of our silly little code drawings. She described one of the challenges in the course where you had to create a dinner plate of food and she saw a drumstick made out of an eclipse and rectangle, and in my head, I was like "Ay! That's me!" I made a bootleg drumstick, along with a bootleg pile of mashed potatoes and 2 meatballs. It was supposed to be spaghetti, but I gave up. And so, during that 10 minute talk, I was able to get back on and was able to understand part of the lesson, for the most part. When we were correcting the homework, I looked backa at the one from 2 weeks ago, and it finally clicked in my head. You know that feeling when you realize "Oh s***" and you know how to do it? Yeah, I had that little moment. Also, test on Thursday.
So, I'm in Chinese class. I was very, off. During brunch time, I asked my buddy if we changed seats last week. He said "No, we didn't change any seats". And I'm like "Yeah, I'm off" Honestly, I remember a scene where I was in a different seat. It probably was a dream or something. Anyways, I'm sitting there, Zi's acting tired and stuff when I know she has the spirit of a thousand eagles. Our group member dude behind us. I feel pretty bad for him 'cause he's by himself, like I was in that one group. Group, 4 I think. Group 4, the 2nd one.
We didnt really do much today. The teacher told us what she did over break, Chinese new year, etc. She also had some people share what they did as well. Zi, she just told me she woke up early each day for Badminton try-outs. Yeah, she made em'. After the sharing, the teacher passed out some Chinese New Year candies, those soft ones with like, coconut, uhh, etc. I only know the coconut one. Then, we went over the reading and stuff for this lesson, vocab, etc. Along with other lessons as review too. I noticed today, that Zi is always writing. She writes, very small. I mean, very small. Like, it looks printed, and spaced out. She spaces here letters very widely. In my honest opinion they look like tiny blocks, just saying. Not hating whatsoever, just that I find it unique how her writing is the 2nd smallest I've seen (the first being that one dude in my Chem class).
As I was saying, I would always find Zi writing, and previously, I've seen her writing stuff on a small piece of paper, rolling it up or something, and lighting a blunt. Just, just kidding, heh. She writes on it, the paper's like inches in diameter, rolls it up or crumples it, then, throws it away or something. Today she did that exact thing, she wrote on a small piece of paper, crumpled it up, ripped it a bit, then while the teacher was still doing the reading stuff, she undisturbingly went to go throw it away in the trash. Also I have photographic memory when it comes to s*** like this so for me, it's very vivid and that scares me. Now, what she's doing intrigues me. Like, I sometimes do that. Not the crumpling part and throwing it away, but I sometimes write down s*** I'd like to remember, maybe a joke or something stupid someone said that I'd like to write here.
After thinking for a bit, it could be like a spiritual thing, where she writes down negative stuff from her day and gets rid of it, by crumpling up the paper, written on it are the negative things, and throw it away. Or maybe she writes down what's happened to her throughout the day, then, to signify that there's more to come, she throws it away, or- I don't know, aight. I'm leaning towards the first one, I don't know, maybe it's a hobby, oorrrr, something Key Club/Interact club members do or something. She is in Key Club/Interact Club, and a majority (if not all) members of that club are high spirited/lost the ability to not smile. I don't know. Nothing weird really, honestly. Just intriguing. Maybe I'll ask her about it tomorrow when she's doing that. It'd be pretty cool to talk about that in one of my posts.
This got me thinking about that Facebook page "Humans of New York", where that dude takes pictures of people with a quote from an interview with them. It'd be pretty cool to replicated what he did, here where I live. Inspiration coming? Yes. Talk about it? That's, for another time. I just realized I wrote for about an hour and a half straight. Now that's what I mean when something interests me and can keep my attention, I could go on and on. Also, one last thing. I saw a dude sag his oanta today as I was walking to the locker rooms. He had an Arizona in his back pocket, so, that amplified his sag to maximum levels. But seriously, stop that, heh.
God this was write. I'll see you nerds tomorrow. That's, that's just a joking term I use with my buddies over Curse Voice and Skype. No offense intended. And now, see you tomorrow.

Sunday, February 22, 2015 "Coded as Work."
Sunday, February 22, 2015
Week: 27
Songs to Remember: Free Tempo - Twilight
How can I not recognize that it was the 22nd today. Oh right, I'm a mess and when I'm a mess, I get lost in time. I prove it whenever I have to check the date on my phone when typing in these dates.
Well, I was expecting to just say "F*** it" to the whole extra credit assignment with the coding. But then I went to check it out on the site, and it was pretty easy at first. Like, I watched through a 5 minute video, and they try to to explain it like, very, very slowly. Basically for people's first times on the internet. Like, come on.
I did the exercises, called "Challenges", but weren't really much of a a challenge at all really. Most if it was just copying a function over and over again, changing values for stuff like, height, color, etc. As for hints, they just put the line of code for you to copy down. So, there was that. I thought I could do em' all, and I could've, but as I went from exercise to exercise, project to project, I was like "My god, how long does this go on?" A lot, of lot of exercises and projects. Not difficult, just tedious. When I read that it was going to be a 15 hour course, I thought that skipping all the videos would make it just an hour or something. No, turns out, skipping all the videos would make it about 7 hours for all the exercises and projects. *sigh* fortunately, on the handout, it said this ain't due until March something, so, I could still continue it hopefully.
So there was that. I, made another account on the Trove sub-reddit to submit another creation because I was expecting my other creation to not get accepted until like a week later or something. Nope, today I received a comment and it got mod approved. Well, there we go. I'm actually trying to stop myself from gaining interest in Trove. I mean, it's going to be a long grind to do what I want to achieve in Trove, which is to "collect em' all", including all the weapon styles, equipment styles, block recipes, deco recipes, making my perfect cornerstone, maxing all the classes, and achieving mastery rank 100. And, I'm only rank 45 right now. Yeah, it's going to be very tedious. And slow as well. And considering I can't create structure submissions because of some god-forsake reason that the devs make file importing so god damn wonky, I can't receive credits fast and easily as others. 500 credits vs. 20,000 per weapon to dungeon, I'd rather make a dungeon.
I even moved the sub-reddits on my Reddit Now app from the front to the back of my subscriptions list so I won't get reminded of all the features and updates going on. I don't know, maybe I'll go back on Warframe or something. I'm also really considering to attempt to create another game, only because I can't find a good, free one that fits what I want to play right now and isn't a ghost community. All in the point of keeping my attention and a purpose for recreation.
Umm, and yeah, school tomorrow. I'm sure it's going to be very, very groggy. Especially me. I know I'll be spending quite a while sitting in front of my heater while slowly changing. And let's not forget the cold air in the morning. I'm still cold even with a blanket on, like, come on now. And regarding work, yes I will make arrangements for Tuesday. Yes, that means I will have to schedule an appointment with my counselor to take off some instructional time to have someone print out my transcript. Thanks education system.
But really, much of a hassle for an unofficial copy of my grades? I'll see you tomorrow.

Saturday, February 21, 2015 "Cards Against Productivity."
Saturday, February 21, 2015
Week: 27
Songs to Remember:
Started off with finishing (and starting) my math work (woohoo!), Leaguez then Trove, League again, and ending it off with Cards Against Humanity (online that is).
So yeah, I actually managed to start and finish my work before the afternoon. Pretty, pretty good. I realized as soon as I looked at what I wrote for the number of problems was that it was "odds" instead of "all" (do all odd numbered questions/do all of em'). A buddy of mine asked for the homework about a few days ago. I told him "1-49 all" when it's actually "1-49 odds". Yeah, sorry about that, hehe. Well at least he'll have extra practice on it, heh.
Uhh, Skyped with my cousin, messaged my buddy Ek on Snapchat (did I have a name for her? Well, now I do), and Curse Voiced with my buddies. We did League, took a break, League again, then Cards Against Humanity. Online of course. Apparently Kayle isn't that boring than I thought it was going to be. I used the Rather Wing Kayle skin I got for the Riot good behavior thing. Sound effects are pretty cool.
Umm, so yeah. Looking forward to this week, but on the other hand, unless I get my s*** done and turned in, I'll be having some weight on my shoulders. More than what I should already have by the way. Until then, see you tomorrow. By that I mean tomorrow.

I really got nothing to say right now. Played Trove and League all day; let's just say I don't feel like playing Blitzcrank ever again. If you want somebody to do well, don't badger on them, making them do worse, and flame them on that too. See you tomorrow.

Songs to Remember: Under Cover of Darkness - The Strokes
Getting something submitted to the Trove devs is a lot harder than I thought. Even when everyone else's submissions on the sub-reddit (believe me, there are a lot of em', and I'm not being biased either) are s****y, this mod still approves them. It's like "You get mod approved, you get mod approved, everybody gets mod approved! Except you, Drew. I'm not done with you yet".
My submissions has the pictures, screenshots, design, and structure following the rules and is unique (I looked through the database for stuff that looked like mine. Found nothing), yet this one moderator is going ham on me and making me do these fixes on the thing. I know this is not something to cry about, I'm just writing this down so that I remember the feeling. Even after 3 full edits, the mod still ain't happy, so he tells me that he'll have other mods look at it. I'm like "Oooohhh myyyy gawwwwd" (in Jerry Trainor's Spencer voice). This means I'll have to wait even longer to get my other submissions posted, since they allow only one at a time.
Yeah, so, this Trove game's been getting boring. By that, I mean, I having nothing else to do but grind on it. I did however, finish reading these 2 stories that my English teacher gave us all to read over the break. The first was this Chinese story called "The Kling-Kling Women". Spoilers, "Kling-Kling" is the sound of bells. It was an alright story, lots of uh, feminism stereotypes and stuff in it. The next story, a Vietnamese story, I forgot what it was called, but there was a character named Thom, who's best friends with this other girl (who is the main character). Not as boring as the other story due to there being more dialogue, but much more depressing. Like seriously, why bum us out on break.
So, as I was bored, I wanted to tell the whole world. So I went on Skype and posted "There's nothing to do" to our (my buddies' and mine) Skype group. I was having second thoughts about posting it 'cause my best buddy's gonna get all an*l about it, but I posted it anyway. Yep, he goes "That's because you never choose to do anything. You joined KDT and VSA but you never went. There's a ton of things to do, you just choose not to do em'". And I just went offline after that. God, one moment, we're joking about hent*i, the next he's being an*l about me saying "There's nothing to do". Sometimes I just don't know why.
But whatever, I'm gonna be having the time of my life next week (Yeah, that's the spirit, Drew). Turns out the dance is on Friday. Oh. Well. No preparation then, I guess i just gotta get home, change, and NOT be like "Walk into the club like 'What up, I got social anxiety and I wanna go home'". Yeah. Umm, Chinese New Year. I stayed home. What year is it? Apparently it's the year of the goat/sheep. I read this one article about the Chinese zodiac and the beliefs for people born in each year. For mine, the Tiger, I am supposed to be "Strong, courageous, a born leader and sometimes like to ride solo". Well, the last part is usually true. The rest, ehhhh. I'll find them true someday, heh. And with my classmates (Sophomore class, class of 2017), most of them are born in 1999, the year of the rabbit. I read the beliefs and it said "Protective, loyal, anti-conflict, well-liked and popular with a large circle of people".
Well. Isn't that just accurate? Heh, that is scary accurate. Seriously, all of those people ARE popular, and with their "large circle of people", or in my terms, social circle. How do I know they're popular? Well, likes. Seriously, they get over 100 on each post and that's with people at our school, not random people. And yes, even the hi's and hello's at school and random hugs, that too. I am not popular, like, I can't even believe that my teachers know my name, heh. I never raise my hand to answer a question, mostly because I'm very tired each morning. Unless I feel pumped up, ready to go ham, I won't.
And umm, tomorrow I'll need some new ink to print out my editorial to attach to my Honors English paper, Monday, I gotta make a counselor appointment for Tuesday morning to get a copy of my transcript (because apparently, websites charge you for having them e-mail it to you, and the school doesn't give us online access to our transcripts either, even for unofficial copies for s*** like Honors applications). And Friday, for fun party time. And new seats, most likely, or so, for Chinese. Also, we had new seats in Chemistry, don't know if I told about this or not. I am now sitting at the very frontz right in the middle. Next to me is a person I do not talk to. She said hi once, I said hi once, and, that's about it. And I think I told about the popcorn lab. I think.
Alright, I think it's time for me to drown in my own thoughts, that's enough for today, see you tomorrow.

And yes, even the hi's and hello's at school and random hugs, that too. I am not popular, like, I can't even believe that my teachers know my name, heh. I never raise my hand to answer a question, mostly because I'm very tired each morning. Unless I feel pumped up, ready to go ham, I won't.
And umm, tomorrow I'll need some new ink to print out my editorial to attach to my Honors English paper, Monday, I gotta make a counselor appointment for Tuesday morning to get a copy of my transcript (because apparently, websites charge you for having them e-mail it to you, and the school doesn't give us online access to our transcripts either, even for unofficial copies for s*** like Honors applications). And Friday, for fun party time. And new seats, most likely, or so, for Chinese. Also, we had new seats in Chemistry, don't know if I told about this or not. I am now sitting at the very frontz right in the middle. Next to me is a person I do not talk to. She said hi once, I said hi once, and, that's about it. And I think I told about the popcorn lab. I think.
Alright, I think it's time for me to drown in my own thoughts, that's enough for today, see you tomorrow.

Wednesday, February 18, 2015 "Panic! At My E-Mail."
Wednesday, February 18, 2015
Week: 27
Songs to Remember: Best of 2014 K-Pop Mega Mash-Up - SHIMMIXES
I was being sorta lazy today. Alright, very lazy. I say I don't have anything to do, I get bored, I end up refreshing my YouTube and social media feed for new stuff to pop-up, aaand I have yet to do my last 2 (an optional 3rd one) works. I still got time right? That's what they want me to think, f***ing time.
So while I was creating a new submission (soon to be) for Trove (again), my mom asked me if I could set up that tablet I got for Christmas so she could use it. I haven't turned it on since, well, Christmas, so there were still updates and notifications and stuff still on it. I see an e-mail notification at the top and I remember "Oh yeah, I used my e-mail to set this thing up". So I go check it out and I see "E is now following your blog..." And I'm like "Huh what? A notification about this?" I never receive notifications about these posts ever. I check it out and it's an e-mail notification that somebody followed my blog. Cool, a confirmed soul that is willingly to bear my struggles with me, hehe.
It read "E is now following your post! Click here to follow E back!" or something like that. At first I thought it was cool, but then I checked out her profile (yes, E is a she), but the avatar site or whatever was like "This user's profile has been deleted" or something like that. So then I'm thinking "Hmmm" and I came up with the thought "Wait, is this Em, my buddy?" They both have the same name, and I remember that I (stupidly) put this site URL on my Facebook profile in the "About" section. I put it there for when people are stalking/interested in me and snoop around much enough to find the link. Yeah, I don't know why either.
So then I was thinking "Alright, it's just Em, nothing to worry about. I trust her and she's free to read it all if she wants". But then I tried to find out more about E's profile. By the way, E shares the same name as El AND Em. So I go back on to that profile thing and I look at the URL again. It had something like "Chinesepro2015" in it. So then the thought came to my mind "Oh no, what if it's El?" El is part Chinese and so it took me a few seconds to put two and two together and came up with the conclusion, "Awww s***, it must be El. She made the profile, saw everything, then deleted it".
I commenced freakout for a bit. I was hurriedly erasing the URL from my Facebook. I thought that this would be a thing that only I'd know about, and well, some unfortunate internet strangers who stumble upon this thing, and my cousin a bit (he knows I have a "diary", but not what I write. He barely remembers anything about it though). Now, El knows about it. But, with my IT skills, I made a search on the web for this "E" person, for some reason. I searched up "E is now following your blog" and whadya know. E is actually just a spambot, tricking people into following her, or, it.
SO, that was a huge relief. Heh, what a coincidence, that E is the same name as El and Em. By the way, it wasn't just "E", if I said the name, it would be, well, the names of both El and Em. Trying to keep people anonymous here. And so, I just went back to what I was doing. I was still in shock for a bit after that, hehe. Very, very scary. Well, at least my secret's safe for now. For about, ehh, 2 more years. Will I post it publicly for everyone to read (publicly in my social circle)? Ehh, I'll decide when the time comes. Still waiting for more plot-twists, heh. Just, I just hope this laziness doesn't hold me back.
So yeah, I just played League with my buddies all day. Really, really hate nemesis draft. Also, uhh happy Chinese New Year! Or is it "Merry"? Or is it- ah whatever. Year of the Tiger for life, fam. I was born in the year of the tiger. No I don't talk like that, heh. See you tomorrow.

Song to Remember: Tueaday - ILOVEMAKKONEN, Stars on 45 (12" Mix) - Stars on 45
Ay, ay, ay. Good to see you, come on in, let's go,Yeah, let's go. Alright, alright OK, uh, alright, OK Alright, OK.
It's 12:42 AM. I'm having another one of those late night thoughts again, *sigh*. I regret looking through social media and refreshing pages to see if new stuff would pop up. Then I'm like "Yeah, you see all these people, Drew? These people made all that stuff. Those new posts on social media are made by them, and the reason there are even posts is because people make em'. So if you want to see new stuff on your Instagram feed, make new stuff." And I'm not talking about god damn submissions for Trove, god damnit. You've spent this whole f***ing day working, voxel by voxel on a f***ing video game and procrastinating on both break work, and sociality. Come on now, Drew.
Yeah, I'm feeling depressed again. Aww man. Well, at least it'll hopefully go away the next morning. Whenever I'm sad or mad, I like to stay that way. I enjoy that feeling during that moment. Then I go to sleep, wake up, and I'm like just like "Ehhhh, I'm too tired to be mad or sad again". So there ya go. But when I really feel sad, it usually lingers on. Most of this sadness deals with me and people. Me, because I want to change myself, but s*** like procrastination, motivation, confidence, consequences, and past experiences are holding me back. And people, because I'm missing out on what they're doing. I wish I could do things they could, but hell, I'm me.
Procrastination: it's a biggie. Yet it still happens. What contributes to that is motivation. I don't feel motivated sometimes. There always seems to be a reward at the end, but really, there isn't. I work hard, play hard, work hard play hard (and not in a David Guetta fashion either), and my reward? More work. It doesn't stop. When I want to build confidence, my past comes back to haunt me. I'm like "Ah Drew, remember that one time where you-" No. See this is something I'd like to stop. I learn from my mistakes, take advantage of my experiences, but they still hold me back. They remind me of s*** I don't want to happen again, and in the process of not doing them, I end up doing em'.
Seeing people going places with their friends, ordering s*** at restaurants, doing f**ing high school musicals, seeing puberty done right (seriously, it's scary good), strabge connections that are apparently happening (still can't believe em'), interactions, interactions, god damn Starbucks runs, sports, buddies, old buddies, memories, social media, thoughts, and actions, makes me sad. You know, this sounds already like another post I've already made, where I build up my thoughts, then make a big sigh at the end. Then come to a conclusion, say "See you tomorrow", and then go to sleep. *sigh*, I just don't get it. I just want to know the answers to "What", "Why", "How", and "When".
I just realized this is a good way to release stress. I just write down all my thoughts, how I'm feeling, whats happening, and then just put it aside to make way for new stuff, a clean slate. It's like when people write what they're angry about on a piece of paper, then crumpling it up and throwing it away. I guess for me, I got nobody to really show and express my thoughts and energy, so I'm stuck building it all up, then releasing it all here. Well, besides my cousin and some buddies. But really, my s***'s been kept up to myself only.
Well, time to continue that stress release cycle posting. I seriously can't wait for that dance. An excuse for me to f*** s*** up, hehe, now that's the spirit, Drew. Keep it up. Or if you've just started, create that mindset. See you tomorrow.

Week: 27
Songs to Remember: Shower Later - Gary
I can't believe that I can't retain my energy throughout the day and only when I have no work to do (at night at least) do I procrastinate my sleep.
Staying inside really sucks. For the first day, it's fun. After a couple days, and you see people having the time of their lives (as usual) on Facrbook, you realize that s*** isn't getting done. Also, this one girl (freshman btw) has already went through 4 dudes already. Just in this school-year (so far). Dated is what I mean, just to clarify. Yeah, confirmed through ask.fm. I tell ya, people be dissociating more they are associating, and most of the time, it's with the wrong people.
Fun though, for the first couple weeks. Or so. But I wouldn't know, just assuming. This post is not going where I expected it to go. Anyways, I met a dude in Trove, went in my cornerstone and just looked around and s***. Proceeded to show me his house, then began chatting for a bit. I was really hoping he'd stop so I could get back to building my s***. Proceeds to ask if I have a Skype. My face when I'm Skyping with cousin. I was like "Alright". Sent him a contact request, sees his profile picture, has a swag cap on or something, reminds me of a dude I met on Cod a while back (CallofVets was his name). Yeah, seemed like the average dude. Thank goodness he was not any older. Did not want to talk to a dude with over 30 years under his belt, Skyping with a 16 year-old over a children's game.
I really need to stay safer over the interwebs. At least I got a relaxing movie night today with my cousin, watching Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (he chose the re-make). By movie night, I mean we both have the video up and press play at the same time. All I gotta say is: you lose! Good day sir! See you tomorrow.

Week: 26
Songs to Remember: Get By - Delta Heavy
At least I got a piece of work done today. That makes up for the loss of time in doing Trove and League, hehe.
So I waited about a half hour at the hair salon (barber shop, etc). It was pretty crowded. While waiting, I was listening to them play "Somebody I Used to Know" by Gotye. I was like "Oh my god, seriously? The day after Valentine's Day? TOO SOON". Bootleg. Anyways, got my hair a bit shorter than I'd like, but at least I got the week for it to grow back a bit.
Besides Trove, getting a haircut, and r-watching Barely Political's "Facebook Parenting: Continued" parody, I played a couple League games with my buddies. Played as Zyra support in one game with my Vayne lane buddy. We won. I distanced the lane opponents with my plants, try couldn't farm, we snowballed, etc. Zyra's pretty fun. I never really get to play her 'cause I don't have her as a champion. And, next game, I played as Zilean (still waiting for that re-kit) with my lane buddy Vayne again. The other team was a troll comp, going 5-man smite and a revive/smite Karthus with no ADC. Yeah, we won.
The next game, we were up against a real team, and just out of curiosity (and because of a dude's name on the other team. His name was "Score"), I checked out his ranking. Platinum II in solo queue, that's fair. Diamond II in 5v5, ehhh, not bad. CHALLENGER 1 in 3v3. Okay. But like seriously, I was like "Dudes, this dude's CHALLENGER LEVEL". Holy s***, did we try. Hard. We ultimately lost though. We had more kills, won most team fights, but lost. All because of grouping, aaaand a Fizz. This dude on our team kept wandering around and getting caught. Our Katharina was 14-1 at one point, but it didn't matter because our Fizz lost to a Brand. Ah well. The Score dude carried hard on their team, the rest of them were like Bronze level. I did good though, got a lot of training off that.
I did say that this blog thingy would be part gaming. Well, here it is. And, I'm hopefully gonna get to catch up on some Running Man during this week. Woohoo! Aaaand get started on making a s****y JavaScript program. Function update, see you tomorrow.

Saturday, February 14, 2015 "Inside Valentine's Day."
Saturday, February 14, 2015
Week: 26
Songs to Remember: Relation Break - Dandi, Pretty - Infinite H, Go Nowhere - Infinite H, It Girl - Homme, Just Ain't Gonna Work Out - Mayer Hawthorne
I had a thought about what I did for El for Valentine's last year. Then I remembered "Oh right, we weren't even in a class together!"
So sadly, the dude that works at the barber shop I go to wasn't working today, soo, that means I'm getting my hair cut tomorrow. Okay. And now, for current events. Back to you Drew.
Thank you, Drew. So I spent Valentine's day indoors. As in, stayed home. All day. Playing (grinding) on the same game over and over again, all day, everyday. Of course not without checks on social media. And yeah, pictures of people at the Winter Ball. And, some bootleg ass Valentine's day cards. "I've got my ion you". F***ing killed me. "I still prefer "I think you're Fedorable" with Fedora tipping.
I've encountered a lot of new songs this past week. Nicely fills up my playlists. My dad was playing this one song, it was an oldie song, and with the use of the SoundHound app, I found out it was "I Wonder Why" by Dion and the Belmonts. Keep in my mind my dad was born in '52. Still, I like the music. Better than most of the music being produced today. 2014 in my opinion was a horrible year for music. Daniel Kim's "Pop Danthology 2014" didn't turn out great in all honesty. And after listening to that oldie song, I remembered this one song from the commercial trailer of this one movie at my grandmother's house years ago. Yeah, dates pretty far back. After writing this, I recognized how specific it was, hehe.
I remembered a distinct line from the trailer. I also remembered how I saw the book during 6th grade from the classroom library. So yeah, based on a book. The distinct line was "Are you freaking mental (menial)?" said by a dude. I've tried searching for the trailer and movie for so long and I never found it. Until today. From the trailer, I specifically remember the dude pronouncing it "Are you freaking menjal?" rather than "Are you freaking mental?" I've searched "menjal" (or a variant spelling) all this time and never "mental" this whole time. It just never occurred to me until today, okay? Searched it up, whadya know, I found the movie.
"Flipped" is the movie name. I remember a dude riding a bike with an oldie song playing and yep, there it was in the trailer, in the first couple seconds. Finally found the song. "Pretty Little Angel Eye" by Curtis Lee. But seriously, watch the trailer. The dude pronounces "mental" like "menjal". If it weren't for this, I would've found this sooner. Well, at least that's one thing off my shoulder. And Valentine's day. I remembered about this one song I had in my music collection but forgot the name. Remembered the lyrics though. "Just Ain't Gonna Work Out" by Mayer Hawthorne. I just have a good memory. But, that's only if something interests me or keeps my attention. Melodies, they count.
Also, 2010! The movie came out in 2010. 5 years, and I still remember s***. And it'll only keep on coming, especially next next week when I'll hopefully get to meet up with an old somebody I used to know, whom I never made contact with for about, 6 years now. Yes, plenty of pictures will be taken. Lots of stories will be told. And yes, lots of s*** will be written about. So, I hope you've had an interesting Valentine's day. Valentine's is actually a cool day to observe sociality. See how people interact. Well, 'course I've already sorta seems those interactions yesterday at school, but uh, you know what I'm talking 'bout. See you tomorrow.

Still, I like the music. Better than most of the music being produced today. 2014 in my opinion was a horrible year for music. Daniel Kim's "Pop Danthology 2014" didn't turn out great in all honesty. And after listening to that oldie song, I remembered this one song from the commercial trailer of this one movie at my grandmother's house years ago. Yeah, dates pretty far back. After writing this, I recognized how specific it was, hehe.
I remembered a distinct line from the trailer. I also remembered how I saw the book during 6th grade from the classroom library. So yeah, based on a book. The distinct line was "Are you freaking mental (menial)?" said by a dude. I've tried searching for the trailer and movie for so long and I never found it. Until today. From the trailer, I specifically remember the dude pronouncing it "Are you freaking menjal?" rather than "Are you freaking mental?" I've searched "menjal" (or a variant spelling) all this time and never "mental" this whole time. It just never occurred to me until today, okay? Searched it up, whadya know, I found the movie.
"Flipped" is the movie name. I remember a dude riding a bike with an oldie song playing and yep, there it was in the trailer, in the first couple seconds. Finally found the song. "Pretty Little Angel Eye" by Curtis Lee. But seriously, watch the trailer. The dude pronounces "mental" like "menjal". If it weren't for this, I would've found this sooner. Well, at least that's one thing off my shoulder. And Valentine's day. I remembered about this one song I had in my music collection but forgot the name. Remembered the lyrics though. "Just Ain't Gonna Work Out" by Mayer Hawthorne. I just have a good memory. But, that's only if something interests me or keeps my attention. Melodies, they count.
Also, 2010! The movie came out in 2010. 5 years, and I still remember s***. And it'll only keep on coming, especially next next week when I'll hopefully get to meet up with an old somebody I used to know, whom I never made contact with for about, 6 years now. Yes, plenty of pictures will be taken. Lots of stories will be told. And yes, lots of s*** will be written about. So, I hope you've had an interesting Valentine's day. Valentine's is actually a cool day to observe sociality. See how people interact. Well, 'course I've already sorta seems those interactions yesterday at school, but uh, you know what I'm talking 'bout. See you tomorrow.

Songs to Remember: Relation Break - Dandi
Let's hope I finish doing this post before I fall asleep from all the pictures and songs.
World History, no quiz, heyyyy. We watched this one Italian movie called "Life is Beautiful". Pretty funny movie. Subbed. Made in 1997. Still funny 18 years later. Very relaxing.
English, I panicked and thought I had read those 2 stories as homework when I read the assignment on the board. Nope, it's actually supposed to be over break. And thank goodness for the morning relaxation. The teacher signed us up to see the India show, which I didn't know was going on. It's basically like the Lunar show, but just Indian culture this time. Basically performances and singing and dances. Literally, just singing and dancing. The performances were, okay. The only problem was the music and editing. Fort of all, the transitions were made in like, what, movie maker? They didnt use full songs, they made a mash-up track and every single time, the transition would be an abrupt pause, follows by a random sound effect (most likely included in montage parody starter files). There was a quote by like, one dude, a song quote, a f***ing airhorn effect, like, what? If they wanted to do clear defining transitions, they could've done something else.
Also, the music was god damn blasting. The person who made the mash-up didn't bother to check the volumes for each clip. One song they've got it at rave level, another would be barely audible. Also, there was a song clip where it was recorded LIVE. You could hear like, audience cheers and shouts in it. And despite the loud music, I was actually falling asleep towards the middle of it. The songs were so god damn long, and I'm already used to music as my white noise, so I was trying to keep myself awake.
Chemistry, we did a Kool-Aid lab. Very fun, very tasty. Each kab table had a flavor, there was grape, fruit punch, grape, fruit punch, grape, Tang (which is supposed to be like, Astronaut flavored), and Peach Mango, which my lab members and I chose. Umm, we got to taste a lot of Kool-Aid. I never really got to taste Kool-Aid. The last time I remember tasting Kool-Aid was several years ago, and it was pretty sour.
P.E. Yeah, dude carried hard. If it weren't for him, his partner wouldn't even get to table 5. But we did though. Again. Too bad this last 2-day tourney didn't count. Also, we received our grades finally. P.E teachers don't bother posting on school-loop, sooo. B+. Yeah. Looking forward for another attempt in Table Tennis next next week.
HD and I made a stronger bond this past week, or so. Umm, by that I mean we talked more than we've ever before. I don't, know why, buuuut, alright, I'll take it. And today, yeah there was a lot of P.D.A. Lots of holding hands. Lots of pairs. Lots of balloon, chocolates, teddy bears. I don't know mind the celebrations, uhhh, but keep the smooching down to a minimum please. I was walking to 5th period at the L building and on my way, came across 3 pairs in a row, making out like there's no tomorrow. I was "God, god, GOD". Y'all need to get a room, or corner. Back of the L building works too.
But again, I get relaxation and that's nice. A short lesson, confusing, but short, problems won't and don't take too long. I was busy fighting foreign particles from entering my nostrils than paying attention so I didn't really get to pay much attention. Stupid flowers and their deadly particles. Anyways, after the lesson, we went on the Chromebooks to do a practice test for a test we're supposed to take next year, where it's done electronically. But god is it difficult when I gotta type out my equations. Also, what's a school break without an assignment due over it? This time, it's optional. The teacher wants us to watch a 15 hour Khan Academy lesson on coding JavaScript. Then we gotta use it to make something related to math.
I was just like, when I heard Javasript, I was like "Money. In. The. Bag". I actually already know a bit of JavaScript, I've done a bit of my own codes, I've tried making games in Unity using JavaScript, aaand, JavaScript's the easiest to code (whereas stuff like C++). I was like "Yo, gimme them 10 points". I was thinking like a simple calculator, or maybe a circle generator or something. The video's gonna be 15 hours though, I was like "What is this, are they starting from like the very basic basic of the basics or what? It does not take 15 hours to learn the basics of it. About an hour for the basics, another hour for terms and stuff, and the rest for like, actual codes.
Chinese, start on our 800 word essays. I'm really just gonna write the main stuff first, then when I run out of s*** I wanna say, I just ramble on and make stuff up. I am a master of doing quantity over quality BS essays. I could make paragraphs upon paragraphs of just straight up random points that look like they're making sense, but in actuality, I don't know what the f*** on talking about. Most of it involves big words and lots of synonyms. But really, it's an English essay for Chinese class. It's not like it's gonna be graded by J.M Rowling or anything.
And oh, Valentine's Day. Today I realized that today was Friday the 13th. Now that's cool. Val engine's Dday is tomorrow. I'm thinking of getting my haircut tomorrow. Also thinking of making people's days better on social media. Oh- I almost forgot. Winterball. It was today. I didn't go. My buddies didn't go. We were hyped up for it, but it didn't really happen. I saw a few pictures posted on Facebook just now. I'm prepared for the flood tomorrow. And by god, I swear if those bootleg Valentine's day cards get any more bootleg, I'ma have to choke a b*****. God I am tired. Ahhhhhgh. See you tomorrow.

Songs to Remember: Pretty - Infinite H, Relation Break - DanDi
I actually finished my work before 11:00 PM today. Well, at least 90% of it. But hey, this means I might be able to go to sleep before 1:00 AM, who knows.
Ahh yes, posts for the next couple days or so will be good ones. After that, I'll have to see how the week's gonna go. Please based teacher, not much work for the break. Aaaand stop with this spaceman thing, it's getting on my nerves! Sorry, was just thinking about that quote. Very fun quote. Anyways, lots of stories.
Alrughty, World History. Writing about political comics still, yay. At least there weren't any featuring Stalin in a dress today. There's a quiz tomorrow, we're most likely gonna be able to use our notes on it so, that's nice. In my honest opinion, I do feel like I barely know anything or what's going on right now in World History. I mean, I know people, basic topics, but dates and names of pacts and treaties are not my forte. History, really bores me. On the other hand, some stuff interests me. I just don't wanna keep on discussing Nazi's and morbid genocides all the time, like, come on. And have you heard about this recent discovery of a copy of the original Magna Carts? Worth millions. Now that's some ballin' s***, heh.
Oh god, I'm dreading English a lot right now. We finished watching Brave today. Wasn't, very, "brave", in my opinion. Seriously, when I first saw like, pictures of the movie, like, years back, I thought it was gonna be like an action-y rendition of little red riding hood. Scottish version. But no, it's just a bear fight. Like, really? Problems in the movie were solvable, buuuut the solutions were done in such complicated ways. By the way, spoilers in the next paragraph.
When the Merida tries to convince her dad that the bear is Elena, he doesn't believe her, goes charging towards Elena with a mob. I mean, he finds her wife missing, her dress laying on the floor, what does he expect? The bear ate her? She ran off naked? And what's with Mor'Du anyway? Was he just waiting in slumber in the ruins, orrrr, what? And why does it take so much to kill him? How many hit points does he freaking have? Anyways, my favorite part was probably when the triplets were getting the key back. Also, how did they get changed back? The phrase was more for the mom than the boys, sooo... I mean, I never read the book. Was it based off a book? What isn't based off a book nowadays?
And yeah. We got the Honors English sign-up forms today. Requires a copy of a graded piece of work, an unofficial transcript, and teacher recommendation. And why oh why do they not make transcripts easier to obtain. Ordering one online costs money! Why would this need to cost money? God, it's like the f***ing Evolve DLC. Anyways, we're assigned packets to read over break, and uh, we're probably gonna go back to our groups tomorrow to discuss and s***. I really hate groups..
Chem was actually fairly usual today. Mr. Sales taught us a life lesson today, whether we "wanted to or not". We were talking about molarities, sulfactants, and separating hydrogen bonds and s*** and so he tells us about high school relationships, how about 90% of the time they usually fizzle out. One person gets bored, they don't see a connection anymore, no more spark, so they decide to end the relationship. He says that since we're hormonal teenagers, the best way would be by calling to break up to avoid confrontation. Now to further avoid it, you gotta use big, confusing words to have the other person be oblivious that you're breaking up with them. So, you would use the word "dissociate", which just means to separate. When you're breaking up with someone, just say "I would like to dissociate our relationship" and hang up. That way, they won't know you're breaking up with them until they search up the word, and then they find out, it's late, and there's no confrontation.
That's not the only fun thing that happened. Mr. Sales got out some mice in a little cage and put it next to this, ehh, "delinquent", in class. He kinda freaked out, I'm guessing he's not a big fan of mice. So to prank him, the teacher got a fake plastic one and surprised him with it. He screamed, hit the ground, people laughed, teacher laughed, I laughed, all in good, he was like "Don't do that!", teacher's like "That was worth the whole day". Also, we're doing a Kool-Aid lab tomorrow. Testing ions and electrolytes and all that. Did you know, Cup Noodle contains electrolytes? About 1/4 of your daily sodium in one Cup Noodle. The more things you learn everyday.
I guess tomorrow we still got some time for more Table Tennis. My partner and I are kinda struggling to not throw our games. We're currently stuck between table 6 and table 5 (again). There's this one particular pair that we keep facing at table 5. We always lose to them because one of em' continues to serve illegally. He doesn't toss the ball 6 inches, he just hits it in his hand close to the table so it barely goes over the net. I'd call him out on it, but the thing is, if we're able to beat them while they're playing unfairly, it'd show how bad they are, that they lost even while breaking the rules. And, one of them is actually carrying the other dude. If it was 1v1 with me and that dude, yeah I wouldn't hold back. Smash every single ball in his general vicinity.
Math, hey, it's another quiz. This time, I actually think I did a smidgen better than the other one. The first few questions were kinda tricky. I had to put a lot of thinking power in those ones. But, good thing I didn't spend too long on em'. I looked that the clock and thought "Hey, I have enough time". Good thing I checked to make sure there was a back-side. There was. The dreaded back-side. Good thing it was really just graphs and nothing too long. Also, having a dude talk to you while trying to converse with a girl is serious cockblock. Like, come on man. Even I know not to go for anything more, I still want to establish some good foundations for later on.
Chinese, oh, why are all you subject hating me right now. Today I was so tired and sleepy. The teacher just explained on what we have to do for this justification essay where we gotta give our opinion and side on a topic. She said the teachers will use it not only to test students for English speaking, but that they'll use the info for to better our education or something. I'm like "Ay, I don't even care about these topics, I'm just writing it just to get it done". The topics range from like "Should all students be given electronic devices, should peer to peer teaching be accepted, is online teaching good, etc". Mostly it just felt with online vs. outside education. So, lots of writing. And yawning. It's due on Sunday for me, hopefully there won't be much procrastination. Aaaand, too late.
And now, the news. Uhhh, Winter Balk tomorrow night. Still, the vision of me experiencing the night outside a social gathering of people of I know, I still want that to happen. Hopefully it'll be done at the dance next next week. Not really gonna dance, just, walk around, enjoy the atmosphere, think, relax, document, aaand hopefully find my old friends. I mean, *ahem* "some people that I used to know".
I know I'm forgetting somthi- oh okay. Uhhh, gonna go get my AP enrollment paper signed tomorrow for AP Psych and AP Bio. I figured, I could just go in-between break and lunch. After break, and before lunch. Then, get the unnecessary s*** for Honors English, turn all that s*** in, aaand I'll be dandy. Umm, I think I still have a couple hours missing for community service. Just to make sure, I'll do some Key Club or Interact next year. All Interact or Key club really does is just hold sales, volunteer in parks or social events, or organize the many, many, many, many many many many many charity dinners. God, might as well dress up in a suit and tie everyday then. As long as I got my suit and tie, I'ma leave it all on the floor tonigh- sorry. I don't even like the song anyways.
Umm, I got a huge haul of new music. Gonna update the music list soon. Enough. Hopefully. Aaaand, that's that. I know I forgot something- oh right! Here's another story. So my buddy, he's pretty smart, and yesterday, he found a box of girl scout cookies in his locker with a note that said that "For you, b****!" A person put it in the wrong locker probably. He was like "Aww s***, how'd they get in my locker? Did I leave it unlocked? Ah whatever, I benefited from it anyways". And that's how I tasted my first thin mints. God, I can see why there's a craze on them. So much sugar in em. I was told that my chem teacher was offered some girl scout cookies by a little girl at the supermarket. He shouted "Poison!" The girl probably cried.
Today, my buddy received another note in his locker. The note said that she apologized and that it was meant for someone else. Apparently, him and that soneone else have the same locker combination, and were close to eachother. The same locket combo?! Damn lock company, ya gotta step your game up. What are the odds of a person opening up a locker close to another locker with the exact same lock combo? Now that's some cool as probability right there.
And, I'm done. So, off the beddy-bye. Umm, lots of work to do. Uh, Valentine's day post tomorrow. Beware the social media. Always remember to dissociate whenever needed. Alright, that's it. See you tomorrow.

Just to make sure, I'll do some Key Club or Interact next year. All Interact or Key club really does is just hold sales, volunteer in parks or social events, or organize the many, many, many, many many many many many charity dinners. God, might as well dress up in a suit and tie everyday then. As long as I got my suit and tie, I'ma leave it all on the floor tonigh- sorry. I don't even like the song anyways.
Umm, I got a huge haul of new music. Gonna update the music list soon. Enough. Hopefully. Aaaand, that's that. I know I forgot something- oh right! Here's another story. So my buddy, he's pretty smart, and yesterday, he found a box of girl scout cookies in his locker with a note that said that "For you, b****!" A person put it in the wrong locker probably. He was like "Aww s***, how'd they get in my locker? Did I leave it unlocked? Ah whatever, I benefited from it anyways". And that's how I tasted my first thin mints. God, I can see why there's a craze on them. So much sugar in em. I was told that my chem teacher was offered some girl scout cookies by a little girl at the supermarket. He shouted "Poison!" The girl probably cried.
Today, my buddy received another note in his locker. The note said that she apologized and that it was meant for someone else. Apparently, him and that soneone else have the same locker combination, and were close to eachother. The same locket combo?! Damn lock company, ya gotta step your game up. What are the odds of a person opening up a locker close to another locker with the exact same lock combo? Now that's some cool as probability right there.
And, I'm done. So, off the beddy-bye. Umm, lots of work to do. Uh, Valentine's day post tomorrow. Beware the social media. Always remember to dissociate whenever needed. Alright, that's it. See you tomorrow.

Week: 26
Songs to Remember: Pretty - Infinite H, Tuesday - ILoveMakkonen
They really should enroll students from P.E into band. A particular amount of them show great appreciation towards making music using the locker room lockers, especially if they like to vent their anger through their music.
Alright, so fortunately, this will be a real post, unfortunately for me, I'm tired. Let's see how this goes.
World History, real uh, real s****y. Stop with this group stuff please. And please, no one wants to see political comic featuring Hitler and marrying Stalin who's wearing a dress. Seriously, we all can't un-see that now. Uhhh, English. We're watching a movie now, so, that's awesome. It's a Pixar movie this time, aaaaand it's Brave. Not a very successful one, buuuut, it's still alright. Talks about ezpectations for men and women, blah blah, the usual. I've never seen it before, only pictures of the movie, never watched a single bit of it before. We're only about 1/3 of the way in and I already hate the mother. Also, the main character seriously needs to be more specific. Asking for something that will change her fate is wayyy too general. Like, come on, she's lucky she wasn't dealing with a Genie or else she'd be f***ed.
Chemistry, is, going meh right now. Again, not really exciting anymore. Oh, right. We did a lab yesterday involving popcorn, and thank the lord it didn't involve too much counting. Measuring masses of oil, cups, and popcorn kernels was sure fun alright. But hey, we got to pop popcorn with a beaker and a hot-plate. So that was fun. Today was just book-work. I got a 74/90 on that one test we took about a week ago (insert song here). Kinda shocked by that, but then I remembered that most of the multiple choice questions were worth 2 and 3 points each. So, yeah.
P.E, we're doing a small doubles tournament now since we finished the singles tourney. I ended up at the 5th table again by the way. *sigh*, it's gonna be curse won't it? Anyways, of course, my partner was going to be none other than that one dude. Uhhh, did I have a name for him? Ag? Sure, let's call him that. He's a senior, remind you. Uhhh, tomorrow will be the last day to play pretty much. Friday, we won't have the small gym to play, so we'll probably just walk around the track. Oh, and the new choices for the next 6 weeks of P.E are rugball, weights & cardio, and 1/2 Table Tennis 1/2 Badminton. You already know I'm choosing that Table Tennis/Badminton mix.
Oh right, Winter Ball's on Friday. Oh, and also, "Ski break" next week. Is it Spring break? I don't think so. Teachers call it "ski break" for some reason. I am not in the loop, I'll tell ya. So, math was fun. Okay. Really. We just started on homework in class. Class time is the best time to do work. Uhhh, Chinese. Fun. I guess. I think this'll be the last time we'll be in our groups or something. Actually, I think we'll be in our groups for another couple weeks or so. Ehhh, at least let me get that one seat. Please.
And as it is Wednesday, I guess this'll be routine now; studying and doing work afterschool with some of my buddies. Sitting at a table after school is actually scarier than you'd expect. Just like what my Chem teacher said, "It's always the ghetto people". Sooo, that was that. Now onto the updates. Oh, I almost forgot some gold. Story gold. Uber gold. Alright, here it goes. So I was changing in the locker rooms after Table Tennis, we're one of the first few classes to get released so not many people in the locker room. There are two doors for the boys' locker room, one on the far left, and one on the right (which is near everything pretty much).
The door on the far left was wide open, the door on the right was closed and locked from thr outside. There was loud (and violent sounding) knocks on the door. No one bothered to open it, and the knocks became much louder, a bit of shouting outside I was hearing. Finally, some dude opened the door, this one dude came barging in, looking like he wants to murder his pet hamster. As he's walking to his locker as he was making music for all of us to enjoy by banging the lockers, his buddies come in, from the far left door. His buddies were like "Ay, you could've just came on through here, hehe. Your locker's right there, why would you come in through that door?" The dude was like "I'm mad" and just casually jams out on his locker like he was doing a guitar solo.
Now that was some f***ing gold material. Ahh, some people, you always gotta have people to balance out the world. And besides, the left door isn't actually far at all, it's more of like, ehh, 20 feet. The doors are 20 feet apart. So, yeah. But seriously, get this dude an electric triangle so he could jam out somewhere else.
And now for the biggie stuff. So yesterday I saw on Facebook a profile picture change, posted by none other than my old buddy (now you're just somebody that I used to know, insert here) Cd. Right? Hopefully that was the abbreviation. It was just another one of those high quality pictures of herself along with an overlay for some event for hosted by the club she's in, the Interact or Key club, don't really remember which one, nor do I care, nor is there really a difference. Also, there was an event posted with her in the "going" list. It was this dance hostted by the district for the club. Apparently there are districts, apparently there's a lot more, and yes, I do compare it to dictatorial armies when looking at the sheer numbers. But hey. Just kidding. Anyhow, the event is this dance thing at this place, there's food, board games, you can dance if you want to, you can leave your friends behi- okay I'll stop.
It's basically a charity dance thing, the money's going eliminating hunger or something for children. It's going to be held in this one place in my old town, soo, not too far. Cd's gonna be there, possibly (and most likely) my other old buddies, I mean, *ahem*, some buddies that I used to knoooow, would be there too. I decided I'd go, partly because I'll hopefully get to meet up with my old buddies after 6 years, aaand (since I've never been to a dance before) examine, just look around, take pictures, eat, just feel the atmosphere of a dance. Who knows, maybe I'll get lucky and somebody from a f***ing teen movie asks me to dance. The event's gonna be on Friday, February 27, starting at 7:00 PM and to 10:00 PM. I'm up all night to get lucky, I'm up all night to get lucky, I'm up all ni- alright, that's the last one for this post I swear.
Hopefully it'll be a fun time. I'm gonna be spending 3 hours so, that's quite a while. Oh and I asked Zi, since she's part of Key Club, if she was going. Yeah, she's going. I, really don't want to get farther than I am right now (not very far, but, better than strangers) and I don't want nothing more right now. So, if I see her there, I'll be like "Ay" and take a few pictures. Which reminds me, am I really gonna wear flannel to a dance? And secondly, all this time, since I was born, I though plaid shirts were just called plaid. No. They're called "flannel". People said it yesterday when it was lumberjack day for our school's spirit week. Apparently wearing flannel makes you a lumberjack. Today was zombie day. Tomorrow's gonna be, uhhh, Throwback day. Yeah, gonna see a lot of people in their middle school clothing, also, ponytails. Zi, zi where's her middle school hoodie 1/3 of the time. 1/3 being the hoodie, 1/3 being a purple jacket, and the other 1/3 being whatever else. I wonder how long it takes people to decide what to where.
I just realized this whole week, upcoming weeks and up-upcoming week will be full of events. Winter Balk's on Friday, Valentine's day on Saturday, "ski break" next week (woot), new P.E class next-next week, dance next-next week, February this month, and quiz tomorrow. Let's not forget about a test next week. Test-s.
A lot of dances, partocularly, occasions for dance. Bands a make her dance, bands a make her da- I'm sorry. I never listened to the song though, nor do I k ow what it means. I mean, just today I listened to the song "Tuesday" for the first time (and not just snippets from vines). Catchy. I can see why people hate it. Anyways, I want to go beddy-bye. See you tomorrow.
