Songs to Remember: Danger (Mo-Blu-Mix) - BTS, 2015 K-Pop Mega Mashup - SHIMMIXES, Run - BTS
I yawned a lot today. There's only 2 reasons I yawn: either because I'm bored or because I'm tired. I couldn't have yawned because I was bored, things was new and interesting. I couldn't have yawned because I was tired, I was hyped and my heart was racing. The only explanation was because everything was so surreal, that my mind thought it was a dream and I was sleeping.
But right now, I'm actually tired, heh. It's 2:15 AM, woke up at 10:00 AM today, stayed up 'till now. Got to the theater at 12:00 PM, and for 12 hours, I really felt connections. I'll keep things brief for the sake of my health (and yes, my neck still hurts a bit, but it's lessened).
12:00 PM, I see Ln and Vh and some others riding that one dude's longboard. Cut to waiting and chilling out in the backroom with Cc and Kh and Vh and Ln and Ek and Lw. People were doing makeup, hair, some fuckers were playing League, watching League, doing work (don't know how ya'll could focus under all those distractions).
Towards 3:00 PM, we got our sushi delivered. Run-throughs went smoothly. Long, but smoothly. Again, more waiting, I soon changed into my outfit, which consisted of an olive green jacket, black t-shirt, and olive green pants. That was what I had in mind. I'm no uh, what do you call it, an expert in "fashion sense" so uh, the vice-president of KDT suggested I lose the jacket. I went along with it.
Our second run-through (last one before the real show) went smoothly as well. Some more waiting happened, and then it was 5:00 PM. Apparently my buddy Ec arrived. I went out to look for him, didn't see, Kh tells me Ek was looking for me. I head to the other side and bam, would you look at that. There's Ec, once again, heh. We snuck him backstage, he was wearing olive green pants so he blended well with KDT. Also a lot of people noticed him and were like "Hey, I didn't expect to see you here." They still remembered him.
Soon came 6:00 PM, where we were finalizing everything. There was more waiting, more clothes reworks, more everything. And a lot of pictures, and I mean, A LOT. 7:00 PM was the show starting time, but it wasn't our time to go on stage yet. And, we weren't the last act this time, we were like, the 4th out of like 10. The president of KDT called us outside for a meeting. We huddled up, explained to us how far we've gotten, whether we're a veteran KDT member, or just started out this year. All that work, all that dedication, builds up to this. The most important thing to remember, was to just have fun.
And that's what I did. I looked down at the ground when the curtains unveiled our act. I danced to BTS' "Danger," I danced to Taemin's "Danger," I ran to the right side of the stage, getting ready to stomp on out there again with my flashlight as a police officer. And for the fall at the end, I did fall. My heart skipped so many beats when I was looking at the ground at the beginning. Just hearing that beginning of BTS' "Danger," gives me chills.
For some, this event was for fun. Others, because it was like a job. But many felt this was something bigger. It got very emotional. Some of the board members of KDT felt like crying. One of them, Th, a prominent member, and senior, did cry. They've done this type of group dancing for years, they love every aspect of it. They've made connections with countless people. And now, this was their last big performance.
We did mess up on some parts. I know I messed up when I forgot how long Big Bang's "Bang Bang Bang" was when we were backup dancing for the Big Bang duos' singing act. And to be honest, an act wouldn't be perfect without mistakes. It makes it more genuine. Enough that this will be one Lunar Show to remember.
As the curtains closed on our act, we headed outside for another meeting. This time, we ran. Fast, out far enough from the theater so we could scream "KDT" in our group rally without having the audience hear us. This was so reminiscent of when the cast and I went to the play back in uh, November. Running, in the dark, at school, with people you know. There's just something about it that feels so free. Definitely a feeling you can't get anywhere else.
We head back to the theater to find that it was break time, aka, intermission. Ek and I met up with Ec again, and I happened to run into Ai, as well as Jk and DrewN. And yes, they did congratulate me, heh, on my 30 seconds of performance. Still, I appreciated it. We also met up with Dv, who Ec hasn't seen in like, who knows how long. We still play League together though.
After intermission, we helped the Big Bang duo's act, and after the final acts, was the curtain call. Aka, everyone on stage. It was just like those New Year's parties you see in movies and TV, only, this was way past New Year's, and it wasn't a movie. There were people taking pictures, pictures, pictures, I met up Ec again. We took pictures, Ek and I took pictures, Dv took 'em with us, Lw too, met up with Ai again, and Jt was there too, who was super hyped about my performance, heh. Man, oh man.
We stayed there for a while, the three of us, Ek, Ec, and I. We tried to spend every last bit together, 'cause we don't see Ec that often. I soon realized there weren't anybody really of KDT left in the theater, or in the backroom. I guessed that they were already on their way to this Chinese restaruant for dinner, so, said my good-byes (for now), and headed on over.
The place was small, only around 25 of us came, the rest had to leave, so. And, around like 6 were alumni, KDT alumni. The place was too small to make a giant table for 25, so, we ate in groups of 8 or so. For us, we only ordered 4 dishes, which got everyone to the point of not hungry, but could eat more. There was a lot of bonding too, and a lot of support. People get to know each other more. A lot more. Cc got so popular with everybody like, just meshes in.
We head into this cafe for a little bit, my phone was about to combust with 3% battery left. I used it to call my dad to pick me up, where it was around 11:30 PM. Came home, it was basically 12:00 AM, played Maplestory for a couple hours with Ec and Dv, and uh, here I am now, heh.
I could honestly say that I now know why people are so into this type of stuff. This, group, social, interactive, whatever. Clubs, Organizations, Things like Interact or Key Club. You get moments like this where shit only happens during that time. You get memorable moments like thi, where you're able to take a lot of selfies with people. You get to be be part of something bigger than you can imagine, and on a deeper level, well beyond comprehendable.
It makes a difference in lives, and it's definitely made one in mine. So that's why I'll be doing almost all the songs for VSA show coming up. That is why I'll be joining KDT again next year (Ek said she would too). That is why the people I'm getting to know now, the seniors, I won't be able to see again for a while. That is why I'll try to take advantage of things that only come once in a while. That is why I was lazy last year and attended barely any KDT practices, so that I could promise myself that I wouldn't quit KDT this year, to miss out on opportunities like this.
For those that marks this Lunar show as their last one, oh they'll be remembered. Having being om stage, performing for hundreds of people, you don't feel like a ghost. As somebody who has done this today, you feel immortal. It's 2:59 AM, I'll go to sleep now. See ya.

Practice was sorta shitty. We basically watched an hour of the fashion show act practicing. Because of that, they were late on schedule and we got stage time for only one rehearsal.
What's even shittier is that I gotta stay at school from 11:45 AM to 9:30 PM. And after that, we gotta go out to eat. So, yeah. But even shittier, is that I have this sharp pain in my neck, but only on my left side. It's weird 'cause it just appeared out of nowhere. I didn't have during practice, didn't have it during watching others practice, I only felt it when I got home. I noticed that whenever I tried to tilt my head in anyway to the left, it would hurt. Kinda like a cramp in your foot, in in the neck instead. Really want it to go away so I can like, move my head freely again.
Hopefully it won't interfere much with my dancing, umm, I noticed that sometimes when walking that it'll proc my left neck pain. So, yeah. I'm in bed, it's 1:27 AM, see ya.

Songs to Remember: Danger (Mo-Blue-Mix) - BTS
"Just enjoy it, don't care about what other people think." That was what the KDT vet said to me after the 2nd real performance. I did enjoy performing, I just didn't enjoy the social aspect of it (which I say about a lot of things too). When considering what other people thought of me, I didn't care for once.
This special was a deep one. 4:20 AM (no meme intended) my mom woke up. Guess she thought I had to be at school by 5:00 AM, and not that we should leave the house by 5:00 AM. I checked to make sure I packed everything I needed. A belt (in case my jeans didn't fit for some reason), deodorant, an extra shirt, hairspray, and of course the KDT shirt. And my jeans.
Outside wasn't that cold, it's been colder. We got to school at around 5:05 AM, the drive took only 5 minutes 'cause well, nobody really drives at 5:00 AM on the streets. There were no cars at all, I went to go check to see if the theater was open. Nope, so I just went back into the car and waited 'till others arrived. It sucks 'cause the Chinese club officers (who are in charge of setting up and hosting the Lunar Show) strictly told us to arrive by 5:30 AM. "Not leave your house by 5:30 AM, be here by 5:30 AM." Yeah, it was 5:22 AM when more people showed up and the club officers weren't even there yet.
Only until around 5:40 AM did they come and open up the doors. Remind me to never come early again, showing up late is much better. Anyways, we went backstage to the uh, backroom? I'll call it the backroom. We set our stuff down, anywhere really, and just "chilled" there 'till like, whenever we had to go and rehearse. We only get 2 rehearsals (like, full show run-throughs) until we have to perform for real. Sounds pretty scary right? It was, it was. I didn't really know what to do during this time. Was it surreal? Hell yeah. It's early in the morning, you're in a bright room with a bunch of other people, some you know, some you don't know, some you come to know. People are eating, on their laptops, phones, changing to their costumes (in the restrooms of course, duh), practicing (musical instruments, singing, etc), doing makeup (considering that were around 30 people in KDT who are in day show, and out of those 30 people, there were only 4 guys, including me. So basically it was like a beauty salon), just setting shit up.
Cc was there, Ln was there, others, I weren't really that close with. Spoilers, I trekked with them for basically the whole thing. They got closer for sure. And, even though I was interacting with some, I still felt distant. Anyways, I was just on my phone, waiting. About 40% of the show was just waiting. When our KDT president/ veterans said that it would be tiring, I believed them, because performing 6 times is a real challenge. Now I thought it would be like, consecutively. I guess I didn't think that through enough, because there was an hour delay in-between our performances. Yep, 'cause the day show lasts the whole class period, there are a total of like, 8 acts I think, and uh, we were last on the list.
The real tire was standing, and waiting, and being sometimes bored because you've seen the same performances several times already, or the performances are just people singing (which, to me, isn't that exciting this time). So here's how all the hype went down. By that I mean, both how it went, and the decreasing in the amount of hype during each performance. As somebody who doesn't do this type of performing often, or like, at all really, the performers have to be near the side curtains, aka, "on deck," when the previous act to theirs is up, because when that act finishes and the curtains close, you have like, I don't know, 15 seconds, maybe? 20 at most? To get ready, get in position on the stage to have the curtains draw and start doing your dance or singing or act or whatever. Just something I learned. This is all behind the scenes shit I would have never have known had I not choose to perform in the Lunar Show (which, by the way, Ln reminded me of how she got me to uh, you know, stay in KDT and not bail, heh, like last year).
During the first rehearsal, it felt like it was like practice from yesterday, didn't feel much fear. Around the 6th act, for the 2nd rehearsal, I changed into our KDT outfit (which this time was our group t-shirt and any kind of blue jeans) so that I could be comfortable and get used to the feeling of dancing with these clothes. And yes, they were comfortable. The 2nd rehearsal was alright as well, was just a bit nervous because it was closer to the deadline of the actual performance. I still was working out the kinks of my dance, like, I gotta remember to jump at this part, not go TOO fast at these parts (because I'm used to more fast-paced songs, or, that I was going at my own pace). Before I knew it, it was 8:00 AM, when the show was starting. The side doors to the theater was open for people who needed to go outside for any reason (for example, using aerosols, fresh air, practice, etc).
I was outside with Ct and uh, it felt cold, yeah, I was wearing nothing but a baseball tee for a top and it was 8:00 AM, heh. There were people still walking to class outside and I felt sorta, "powerful," in a sense. Or more of a uh, what's a better word, ummm, special. There we go. I felt special 'cause I was going to be performing. I just wanted to shout "Hey, look at me! I'm going to be dancing with KDT for the Lunar Show Day Show!" This show is only one of the few times where I want the attention, heh.
Acts go on, we're in the backroom still, I'm just doing whatever by this point, umm, putting on moisturizer, fixing my hair, making sure my shoes are tied, making sure my belt doesn't come loose, all that. Oh yeah, gotta mention the acts. The first act is by "BEAT!" That's the name of their group, consisting of some officers of Chinese club, our KDT president and vice president, and others. They're pretty good. Oh and uh, their act is like, dancing, with, umbrellas. And, flags. Color guard, there we go. And rifle spinning. Not sure if that's the same thing, You get what I mean by now. The 2nd act was by this one girl, forgot what her performance was but it was a solo one. The 3rd (I think) was probably my favorite act (well, other than our own of course, heh). It was the Taikwondo club, and they do a solo sword dance performance, then a bit of comedy story-telling, then a choreograph fight (with weapons). I genuinely looked really cool, and I like the weapons, heh. They had, well, swords, kendo sticks, batons, and even sickles. Now tell me that's not cool.
The other acts were Hip Hop club's dance performance, a dude trio doing a Maroon 5 song cover with instruments, a girl duet singing Big Bang's "Bae Bae," a ribbon dance by this one group (which consisted of basically the same people as from "BEAT!"), and a trio who do an acapella cover mix of High School Musical songs. Sounds cool the first time, but uh, gets kinda ehhh after several more times seeing it. Alright, let's get back to the hype. So, it was nearing our time to get on stage, it was a little chaotic from what I remember, umm, never experienced any kind of sage performance like that before, so, that was literally what happens backstage, behind the scenes. People were still changing to their outfits, doing makeup. Soon enough, we were called to be on deck (we were the last act, after the HSM trio).
And before I knew it, the curtains close, lights go out, lights go back on inside for us to find our spots, I position my body and my footing the right way. They really don't give you much time to setup, you know, the MC's who do their cringe-worthy jokes are just their to stall for time, which was only enough for around 15 seconds. I have my head down, staring at the ground (what we're supposed to do for the opening), my left hand in my pocket. The MC's announce us, the lights go out, the curtains open up on us, the spotlights shine, and the music starts.
I swear, the opening to BTS's "Danger" will haunt me for the rest of my life. The opening builds so much hype, it makes my heart rate go up. The scariest part, that I remember from the whole act was the spin. Just like how my buddy Cc felt, after the initial spin and you feel like you're gonna collapse from the pressure. And boom, the drop starts (the song! I didn't fall, heh), I do my best, moved a bit too fast, but hey, not too bad. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to smile or not (during lunch I asked Jk if everybody else was smiling and he said no so I was good) so I just kept a straight face, looked into the distance, didn't wanna make any eye contact, heh.
Another scary part, where I get the most "viewership" by the audience, is in the Taemin's "Danger" dance, the 2nd one in our mix, where we gott stand still at first, and do coordinated shoulder shakes and leg movements only. And spins. After my parts end, I head to the left side, the nearest, and behind the curtain (which surprisingly, even though they look open, the audience can't actually see you unless you poke your head right out. Cool illusion). Damn. "Good job," said this one girl in KDT. "You too," I replied. Only towards the end did I come back out, only to fall (which was part of the performance, at the end of f(x)'s "Redlight," we all fall in a fireworks pattern as the lights cut out).
And damn, was it good. We were all excited, and it definitely an adrenaline rush. Being in the back, it's nice that if you mess up a bit, go off in timing, not many will notice (as people will be paying attention to performers in the front 90% of the time). The downside is that you can't really see yourself in recordings, and you don't get the spotlight. At least for me, I'm only in the first 2 songs, which lasted like, 20 seconds in total, and from them, there were 0 rotations where I move somewhat close to the front. Other songs had better rotations, these 2 were just like the openers. One song went for like, 45 seconds or something like that, like, that's crazy compared to the time I danced.
Sucks for me in my opinion, because it made me feel like I should've chose more songs to be a part of when we were first doing auditions back in like, September. When I met Ic during break (like, school break time), he was like "Hey I saw you perform. I was like 'Is that Drew? Omg that is Drew.' I tried to get out my phone to record you and send you a Snapchat with the caption 'tfw you perform in the lunar show,' but by the time I got it out, you were already done, heh." Yep, my performance time wasn't even enough for my ol' buddy from Chinese class to decipher that it was me performing, get out his phone, open up the Snapchat app, and record me.
I'm not mad like, "Aw man, they should've put me to the front and given me more dance time." No, it's more of, umm, I'd say regret, jealous- no, envy, ol' fucking envy, and timidness. My phone battery was dying during the entire thing, I got left with 4% after calling my mom to pick me up at 3:00 PM (as the supervisor was tired and didn't wanna stay 'till 5:00 PM), even after leaving it with battery-saver on. I was basically tagging along with Cc and Ln, didn't say much, only some comments sometimes, never a full-fledged convo. Everyone looked like they were having fun, stressful fun, and/or looked like they had something to do.
Cc said she heard her name being called out multiple times from the crowd. I never knew it until now but like, when the crowd cheers, you know you got people supporing you, so you have the reassurance of "I gotta do my best." It doesn't cause more fear like "Oh shit, they're relying on me to do well." No, it's the opposite, they want you to do well, and they're trying to help by encouraging you. After the 2nd real performance, Cc was brought outside because somebody wanted to see her. It was our old English 2A teacher. I don't rememeber Cc even interacting all that much with the teacher, but like, she was thoroughly impressed. She was like "Wow Cc, I didn't know you had that kind of talent!" Now it could just be bias but, you know, having a teacher, from a whole year-and-a-half ago come see you to say that they were impressed by your dance performance, it's like "Damn."
To wrap things up because this post has been going on for like an hour, we took pictures, umm, real pictures, funny pictures, pictures where we had our hands (or made it look like we had our hands, whichever) on eachother's asses (you knows those kinda pictures) and have one of the dudes push my hand so that while it was hovering over this one girl's ass, it made it as if I purposely slapped her ass, which was like "Gotta tell this to my buddies back home" but at the same time "Oh," with a little side of "I am so fucking sorry, that wasn't on purpose." And again, timidness. FUCKING SPEAK UP, YA CAN'T EVEN SAY SORRY IF THEY CAN'T HEAR YA, DREW.
And towards 5th/6th period, people were tired, the officers didn't really care anymore because it was 5th/6th period and most people have seen it all done the way it's supposed to be done already, so, acts trolled other acts. Pretty fun, I joined in too on one, which did show bravery. Also I think I dabbed a bit too much, but that won't be the case until shit starts circulating about "that guy who dabbed too much." And yes, I tried to make the dance trolls as cringey as possible, 'cause people are forced to watch, heh.
So yeah, 6th performances, many adventures unfolded, many more stories to be told, but only one big thing to come out of this: I, don't, dance (HIT IT OUT OF THE PARK). That HSM thing fucking got to me, heh. Well alright, after yawning all day and crashing on the couch, taking one of those godly naps, it's 1:38 AM. See ya.

The other acts were Hip Hop club's dance performance, a dude trio doing a Maroon 5 song cover with instruments, a girl duet singing Big Bang's "Bae Bae," a ribbon dance by this one group (which consisted of basically the same people as from "BEAT!"), and a trio who do an acapella cover mix of High School Musical songs. Sounds cool the first time, but uh, gets kinda ehhh after several more times seeing it. Alright, let's get back to the hype. So, it was nearing our time to get on stage, it was a little chaotic from what I remember, umm, never experienced any kind of sage performance like that before, so, that was literally what happens backstage, behind the scenes. People were still changing to their outfits, doing makeup. Soon enough, we were called to be on deck (we were the last act, after the HSM trio).
And before I knew it, the curtains close, lights go out, lights go back on inside for us to find our spots, I position my body and my footing the right way. They really don't give you much time to setup, you know, the MC's who do their cringe-worthy jokes are just their to stall for time, which was only enough for around 15 seconds. I have my head down, staring at the ground (what we're supposed to do for the opening), my left hand in my pocket. The MC's announce us, the lights go out, the curtains open up on us, the spotlights shine, and the music starts.
I swear, the opening to BTS's "Danger" will haunt me for the rest of my life. The opening builds so much hype, it makes my heart rate go up. The scariest part, that I remember from the whole act was the spin. Just like how my buddy Cc felt, after the initial spin and you feel like you're gonna collapse from the pressure. And boom, the drop starts (the song! I didn't fall, heh), I do my best, moved a bit too fast, but hey, not too bad. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to smile or not (during lunch I asked Jk if everybody else was smiling and he said no so I was good) so I just kept a straight face, looked into the distance, didn't wanna make any eye contact, heh.
Another scary part, where I get the most "viewership" by the audience, is in the Taemin's "Danger" dance, the 2nd one in our mix, where we gott stand still at first, and do coordinated shoulder shakes and leg movements only. And spins. After my parts end, I head to the left side, the nearest, and behind the curtain (which surprisingly, even though they look open, the audience can't actually see you unless you poke your head right out. Cool illusion). Damn. "Good job," said this one girl in KDT. "You too," I replied. Only towards the end did I come back out, only to fall (which was part of the performance, at the end of f(x)'s "Redlight," we all fall in a fireworks pattern as the lights cut out).
And damn, was it good. We were all excited, and it definitely an adrenaline rush. Being in the back, it's nice that if you mess up a bit, go off in timing, not many will notice (as people will be paying attention to performers in the front 90% of the time). The downside is that you can't really see yourself in recordings, and you don't get the spotlight. At least for me, I'm only in the first 2 songs, which lasted like, 20 seconds in total, and from them, there were 0 rotations where I move somewhat close to the front. Other songs had better rotations, these 2 were just like the openers. One song went for like, 45 seconds or something like that, like, that's crazy compared to the time I danced.
Sucks for me in my opinion, because it made me feel like I should've chose more songs to be a part of when we were first doing auditions back in like, September. When I met Ic during break (like, school break time), he was like "Hey I saw you perform. I was like 'Is that Drew? Omg that is Drew.' I tried to get out my phone to record you and send you a Snapchat with the caption 'tfw you perform in the lunar show,' but by the time I got it out, you were already done, heh." Yep, my performance time wasn't even enough for my ol' buddy from Chinese class to decipher that it was me performing, get out his phone, open up the Snapchat app, and record me.
I'm not mad like, "Aw man, they should've put me to the front and given me more dance time." No, it's more of, umm, I'd say regret, jealous- no, envy, ol' fucking envy, and timidness. My phone battery was dying during the entire thing, I got left with 4% after calling my mom to pick me up at 3:00 PM (as the supervisor was tired and didn't wanna stay 'till 5:00 PM), even after leaving it with battery-saver on. I was basically tagging along with Cc and Ln, didn't say much, only some comments sometimes, never a full-fledged convo. Everyone looked like they were having fun, stressful fun, and/or looked like they had something to do.
Cc said she heard her name being called out multiple times from the crowd. I never knew it until now but like, when the crowd cheers, you know you got people supporing you, so you have the reassurance of "I gotta do my best." It doesn't cause more fear like "Oh shit, they're relying on me to do well." No, it's the opposite, they want you to do well, and they're trying to help by encouraging you. After the 2nd real performance, Cc was brought outside because somebody wanted to see her. It was our old English 2A teacher. I don't rememeber Cc even interacting all that much with the teacher, but like, she was thoroughly impressed. She was like "Wow Cc, I didn't know you had that kind of talent!" Now it could just be bias but, you know, having a teacher, from a whole year-and-a-half ago come see you to say that they were impressed by your dance performance, it's like "Damn."
To wrap things up because this post has been going on for like an hour, we took pictures, umm, real pictures, funny pictures, pictures where we had our hands (or made it look like we had our hands, whichever) on eachother's asses (you knows those kinda pictures) and have one of the dudes push my hand so that while it was hovering over this one girl's ass, it made it as if I purposely slapped her ass, which was like "Gotta tell this to my buddies back home" but at the same time "Oh," with a little side of "I am so fucking sorry, that wasn't on purpose." And again, timidness. FUCKING SPEAK UP, YA CAN'T EVEN SAY SORRY IF THEY CAN'T HEAR YA, DREW.
And towards 5th/6th period, people were tired, the officers didn't really care anymore because it was 5th/6th period and most people have seen it all done the way it's supposed to be done already, so, acts trolled other acts. Pretty fun, I joined in too on one, which did show bravery. Also I think I dabbed a bit too much, but that won't be the case until shit starts circulating about "that guy who dabbed too much." And yes, I tried to make the dance trolls as cringey as possible, 'cause people are forced to watch, heh.
So yeah, 6th performances, many adventures unfolded, many more stories to be told, but only one big thing to come out of this: I, don't, dance (HIT IT OUT OF THE PARK). That HSM thing fucking got to me, heh. Well alright, after yawning all day and crashing on the couch, taking one of those godly naps, it's 1:38 AM. See ya.

Songs to Remember: Best of 2014 K-Pop Mega Mashup - SHIMMIXES
When was the last time I was in the bed by 9:00 PM (it's 9:28 PM)? That's right, I can't even remember either. And when was the last time I had to wake up earlier than 6:00 AM? Again, nothing really.
Alrighty, definitely getting chills just starting off this post. Let's get to it 'cause I wanna get in all the sleep I need (seriously). Psychology was notes again. For Fun Friday tomorrow (which is Thursday but we don't have school on Friday as it's a teacher in service day), the class is gonna be watching Dora the Explorer. Not even kidding. Also there's a test on Tuesday already (which will be combined with tests from other classes as well).
English was just some discussion and then a big practice quiz, using questions that were pretty fucking, hard, heh. It wasnt "choose the correct answer," it was "choose the BEST answer." I'm like "Are you serious, this shit is so opinionated." You can argue any of the choices to be the best to be honest. Regardless, it was practice, and uh, barely anyone really finished before the period was over. I also gave DrewN his secret Santa gift finally. I wrapped it up last night. It was "Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition" for the PS4, which I put in that ChocoPie box, stuffed with bags of air from that Amazon shipping box for my flashlight. To add some aesthetics, I attempted to draw Cory on the paper. Attempted.
Biology was next and we basically got some more free time to work on assignments and shit. No labs so far anymore. I'm talking about like, at the lab tables. It's been just online programs for a while now. There's stuff due tomorrow, but since I'm in Lunar Show, it means it's due on Monday for me, heh. Could I have finished it and turned it in today? Probably, if wasn't lazy. And yes, I did use Lunar Show practice as a self-excuse. Math was actually simple for once, the lesson today was just simple plug-it-in and use a calculate formula. Easy. Also, test on Tuesday.
Lunch was alright, and I've said this before but I really mean it this time. We've all been busy so far so there hasn't been much spare time for game nights. DrewN opened the present I got him during this time and uh, he looked pretty disappointed at first when he noticed the ChocoPie box was still "unopened" (I re-glued it). It wasn't until he opened it and saw what was really inside that he was pretty satisfied with it, heb. I was actually afraid that he had already gotten the game and he'd end up with a 2nd copy, heh. Luckily he didn't. Unluckily, his brother took the PS4 with home to Santa Cruz currently, so, he's gotta wait to play it.
Also forgot to mention, I did ask Lt to go watch the Lunar Show on Saturday. I even told her I'm inviting her cousin, 'cause like, guess she depends on him a bunch. Yeah, she wasn't really interested, heh. So, now I got 2 tickets, which, fortunately, a few cast members don't have. So, Jk or Ag or DrewN could go if they wanted to. Ek and I are in the show, so, we're going regardless. And yes, I still have 2 extra tickets for my parents. Anyways, US History was just notes, notes, and notes. Nothing else to explain. Chinese, I actually forgot there was a test today. Luckily it was online, and I could've used Google translate, the one built into the Chrome browser, but I didn't. Probably got a C+ to be honest.
Afterschool was practice, the one before dayshow. We still got some practice performances tomorrow early in the morning, but still. We grouped up in front of the theater and went as a group (well, group(s)) to this one place that sells milk tea. And yes, I did get one. We got back and waited for about, 20 minutes. Apparently we had to get back by 3:15 PM and not 2:45 PM. Well then, heh. So Cc (I think that's the name) just sat and watched the other performances, along with Kh and other KDT members, dudes, buddies, characters.
We watched until it was our time to get ready for a practice performances, where uh, I was sorta nervous. Getting into the mood didn't really work, it just sped up my dancing and that wasn't good. I was a teent bit ahead again, so, gotta slow down. My strategy is to just follow the music, just follow the music, and go a bit slower. Also, smile, Drew, you fucking boring-ass person, heh. Think of some bootleg joke that always gets you or something. Some smile's better than no smile.
So yeah. Hype for the first special of 2016? Yeah? Drew in "The Hot and Cold Performance?" Where it's hot because I'll be hot (and the performance) as well as getting cold chills from just thinking about performing? Sounds hype enough. Well, alright, time to go to bed for reals. Sleep, actually. Gonna be pretty difficult with this KDT group chat sending notifications every 15 seconds. See ya.

Songs to Remember: Danger - BTS
Considering the events in 100% Chance of Bad that made it such a good series, just the first half so far of The Days has already surpassed it for the title of best series.
I mean, the previews to the characters and cast that would appear now in this series, leading up to party episodes, to meeting up with past characters again from the old series', and now look, I'ma be performing in my first act on stage. In front, of, more people than I've talked to in the 1st and 2nd series combined. I know, crazy right?
Anyways, lets get on with it. Psychology was notes again, so that was nice. English wasn't so nice 'cause there was another pop-quiz. And yes, I did mess up again. The prompt was pretty vague, and also I thought it was from the book, but it was instead the article we had to read last night. Hopefully it turns out okay though. We uh, discussed colleges, for some reason, and uh, kinda forgot the rest. Good news, I do like my seat. I'm surrounded by, well, characters that weren't ever really "real" characters, but so far with discussions of the book and like, random comments, they've definitely made a presence. I'm talking about these 2 people who sit beside me to my left and right. And, those others who sit near me.
I asked Lt about Lunar Show. She said she was probably gonna have to see it 3 times on Thursday as pretty much all her classes are signed up to go see it. Gonna have to talk to her again about going to the real night show. Okay, Biology, was just a lecture. Nice. Also the teacher did tell bootleg stories again too, so. Math, it was actually, well no. The questions were, wait. No, we did a new lesson, and it was pretty easy. Time-consuming, but easy. So, there's that. Also work was short so that was alright too.
Lunch was the same as usual, just the cast and I, no Am today. US History, we had a pop quiz (which was, fairly easy) and got Chromebooks to research stuff for a worksheet. In Chinese, we got new seats. And uh, we're actually on the 4th week, no wonder our teams felt like, so long. It was because instead of the usual 3 weeks per group, it was going on to 4. Weird. Anyways, my new seat (which we had to pick Chinese characters and head to the specific tables instead of picking numbers) is next to uh, Mt, ya know, the girl who is in my math class Sophomore year, and this year, and is in KDT. Ya'll know. We also have this one dude, umm, you probably don't know him, aaand this one girl who is/was friends with uh. You know what, never mind, heh.
Yes, I have been lazy with my work, going as far as procrastinating stuff to the point where at the last minute I plan to do it, it extends longer than I would've liked, and I end up just saying "Fuck it" and not do it at all. But, what I've not been lazy in is KDT practice. It was at the theater where we practiced outside until we had our chance to practice using the stage. Was I scared? Nah. At first, yeah, because the KDT veteran was like "Don't be scared." And I'm like "I'm scarin'" it was actually just got because of the light shining down, and I had a jacket on because I wanted to get the feel of wearing a jacket as my outfit includes it. Overall, wasn't that bad of a practice run. Did I mess up? Nooo. Did I go a bit too fast at one point? Yeaahhh. Am I glad to be in the back? Now, it's just whatever. I would like to be somewhere near the front, being up front is a bit too much for me, but hey, it doesn't matter where I stand, I'm in it, dancing. If I were to be there and just stand, it wouldn't look very nice would it. So, I gotta perform, even if it means people won't see me much as I'm in the back, but having to perform to match shows that it does matter.
I've been going on rambling about some philosophical shit, aka, shit people don't understand because of my lame explanations. It's 1:27 AM, gonna need to get some work in tomorrow before I gotta wake up at 5 in the morning on Thursday for game time. And so, see ya.

Week: 24
Songs to Remember: Temperature Difference - Moonshine
It's hard coming back to a school day from a weekend because during that time while I'm relaxing, I kinda fade out of reality. As in, I get into the game I'm playing, I don't worry too much about anything.
And yeah, it is doing detrimental effects to me. Academically of course. Currently I got a C in both Psychology and English, a D- in Biology (don't ask why), a B in Math (for now), and A's in both US History and Chinese. I'd kinda want that all to be the other way around, to be honest. There have been times where I've been lazy and I mean really lazy. This has got to be one of those times. And Lunar Show practices this whole week, performing for 8 hours on Thursday, practice even more on Friday, and my first real (to my standards) show performance on Saturday. I still am going to go these events, mostly because I have to or else I'll get like bad rep among everybody there, and I'll be know as a TRAITOR.
Anyways, Psychology was just simple notes. The teacher said that Thursday is going to be a "Fun Friday" sorta thing so I won't be missing anything during Lunar Day show. English, we watched more of the movie. Then we discussed some more, and the rest, is history. Like really, I don't remember, heh. Lt and I, oh boy is it really uh, no words to describe it. She's just a person to me now, kinda growing the distance in what I consider a "friend." Also because our conversations are just pretty boring, I got no interest in them, and because she pisses me off sometimes with what she says. Or confuses me. Last night, she gave my Kik name to somebody (or she made another account) and that person set their name the same as hers, same picture (mostly) as well, and started talking about some bad shit. And that was some bad shit. Bad shit. So, with shit like that, I don't know if wanna like, associate myself around her anymore. It's weird, 'cause this is like, one of the few times I do this, to someone who made a really big impact on the series, ya know.
Biology, umm, was pretty bad. Quiz, only 5 questions, 4 multiple choice, one math problem, all fairly simple. I got a 2/5. Yeah, fuck me, heh. Good news, all we did was present our, well, presentation to some other people in groups and just, yeah, that was it. By we I mean Ct and I, the girl sitting next to me. Math was kinda shit again, I barely have an outline on how to do these word problems. And I'm not the only one either, the girl sitting next to me barely knows how to do them either. So, hopefully the teacher cuts us some slack when we get fucked on the test for this chapter, heh. Lunch was liveky this time. Am was here again, they still talked about Badminton, but not too much.
US History. Oh boy. The winner was annohnced. The teacher said the winning team had a nice game, wasn't confusing or caused trouble (with just that statement I knew it wasn't my group, but I still held onto hope), and gameplay was fun and smooth. Drum roll... And it's team 6. We were team 4. And yes, team 6 was the one with the card game board game we played. I wonder if our group had any influence on them winning, I mean, we did give them an almost perfect score, heh. I wasn't that sad though, their game was truly fun. What I didn't like, was that I know that, for a fact, only like one person from their group did the board design and rules, and it was that one guy who knows card game basics.
So, I didn't get my free assignment, my freelo 30 points. So, I had to do it tonight, took me about 10 minutes. What I'm actually pussed about is that I worked like, for a whole week each day, cutting, measuring, gluing, repeat, for something only worth 70-something points, and not even winning. If I had known we weren't gonna win, I'd have literally just did a linear board, like another group did. Would've had less stress, more time to, I don't know, work on my lightsaber, or, play League or whatever. Finally, Chinese, where we just do work in class, write sentences on the board, hear other groups share their Blendspace presentations. Not bad.
After school, I had to go to the theater to listen to a 20-minute presentation by Chinese Club (the ones responsible for managing Lunar Show) about rules. Like, no eating in the backstage area, no aerosol cans indoors, that sorta shit. And yes, there were a lot of people, and yes, Ek and Lw was there too for comfort, as Ek is in Lunar Show. Tomorrow is gonna be the first day of real rehearsals, also one of the few times I'll have to perfect and nd work out any mistakes I'm doing in my dance. Oh and uh, just to.mention for future reference, I did get to level 60 on my Xenon in Mapletory Reboot. Alright, that's about it, see ya.

And Lunar Show practices this whole week, performing for 8 hours on Thursday, practice even more on Friday, and my first real (to my standards) show performance on Saturday. I still am going to go these events, mostly because I have to or else I'll get like bad rep among everybody there, and I'll be know as a TRAITOR.
Anyways, Psychology was just simple notes. The teacher said that Thursday is going to be a "Fun Friday" sorta thing so I won't be missing anything during Lunar Day show. English, we watched more of the movie. Then we discussed some more, and the rest, is history. Like really, I don't remember, heh. Lt and I, oh boy is it really uh, no words to describe it. She's just a person to me now, kinda growing the distance in what I consider a "friend." Also because our conversations are just pretty boring, I got no interest in them, and because she pisses me off sometimes with what she says. Or confuses me. Last night, she gave my Kik name to somebody (or she made another account) and that person set their name the same as hers, same picture (mostly) as well, and started talking about some bad shit. And that was some bad shit. Bad shit. So, with shit like that, I don't know if wanna like, associate myself around her anymore. It's weird, 'cause this is like, one of the few times I do this, to someone who made a really big impact on the series, ya know.
Biology, umm, was pretty bad. Quiz, only 5 questions, 4 multiple choice, one math problem, all fairly simple. I got a 2/5. Yeah, fuck me, heh. Good news, all we did was present our, well, presentation to some other people in groups and just, yeah, that was it. By we I mean Ct and I, the girl sitting next to me. Math was kinda shit again, I barely have an outline on how to do these word problems. And I'm not the only one either, the girl sitting next to me barely knows how to do them either. So, hopefully the teacher cuts us some slack when we get fucked on the test for this chapter, heh. Lunch was liveky this time. Am was here again, they still talked about Badminton, but not too much.
US History. Oh boy. The winner was annohnced. The teacher said the winning team had a nice game, wasn't confusing or caused trouble (with just that statement I knew it wasn't my group, but I still held onto hope), and gameplay was fun and smooth. Drum roll... And it's team 6. We were team 4. And yes, team 6 was the one with the card game board game we played. I wonder if our group had any influence on them winning, I mean, we did give them an almost perfect score, heh. I wasn't that sad though, their game was truly fun. What I didn't like, was that I know that, for a fact, only like one person from their group did the board design and rules, and it was that one guy who knows card game basics.
So, I didn't get my free assignment, my freelo 30 points. So, I had to do it tonight, took me about 10 minutes. What I'm actually pussed about is that I worked like, for a whole week each day, cutting, measuring, gluing, repeat, for something only worth 70-something points, and not even winning. If I had known we weren't gonna win, I'd have literally just did a linear board, like another group did. Would've had less stress, more time to, I don't know, work on my lightsaber, or, play League or whatever. Finally, Chinese, where we just do work in class, write sentences on the board, hear other groups share their Blendspace presentations. Not bad.
After school, I had to go to the theater to listen to a 20-minute presentation by Chinese Club (the ones responsible for managing Lunar Show) about rules. Like, no eating in the backstage area, no aerosol cans indoors, that sorta shit. And yes, there were a lot of people, and yes, Ek and Lw was there too for comfort, as Ek is in Lunar Show. Tomorrow is gonna be the first day of real rehearsals, also one of the few times I'll have to perfect and nd work out any mistakes I'm doing in my dance. Oh and uh, just to.mention for future reference, I did get to level 60 on my Xenon in Mapletory Reboot. Alright, that's about it, see ya.

Songs to Remember: 2015 K-Pop Mashup - SHIMMIXES
After a day of basically just playing League and Maplestory, I can say that I'm pretty relaxed. And tired.
I noticed that in my family line, no one has really achieved anything major in terms of uh, academics. I mean, one of my cousins did not go to college and just straight up went into a business job. Another one is majoring in art at a mid-tier college. My parents aren't working or have ever worked at a high-tier place or job. The expectations are high, but actually average to below average when compared to others. So that kind gives me a bit of relief, ya know. Like, "Hey, if you tried your best, your hardest, that's just fine." I don't have to work my ass off and cause high mental damage and stress levels just to get into something like UCLA, or the like. By that I mean, UC's.
All that matters to me is myself, and uh, it doesn't really matter anyway the college you get into. As long as you do fine to your standards, and try your best, it'll be all good. So yeah, just a thought I had. Was an alright day, gonna be dreadful for this upcoming season. Alright, see ya.

Saturday, January 23, 2016 "What Recap."
Saturday, January 23, 2016
Week: 23
Songs to Remember: Keep - Aritus
I remembered a song today that listened to about a year ago. More like, 8 months really. Somewhere in 2015 alright? It was the song "BABYBABYの夢" by Tanuki. I went back to listen to it on the ArtzieMusic YouTube channel and guess what? Today is the 1-year anniversary of it being on YouTube. Yep, January 23, 2015. Coincidence, I think not.
Pretty cool how my mind like, remembered the same song that I listened to a year back (almost a year). Anyways, gonna recap some shit that happened over the days. Umm, nothing much happened on Thursday. Friday, we had, well, fun Friday for Psychology, and yeah, it was actually fun. There were board games setup for groups of people and we basically just played them for the whole period. Our new chapter's on cognition so, they did involve thinking.
For English, we discussed our book, did a quiz where we write about connections. The teacher only gave out the page numbers (not chapter number) so I just went by my memory. The day before that, Thursday, he said that we had to read chapter 4. I didn't check schoolloop for the actual assignment, so uh, didn't see that we had to read both 4 and 5. So, wrote about the wrong chapter for the quiz, but hey, hopefully it's convincing enough that he'll let it slide. We also watched more of the film adaption of "Beloved." Yeah, I'd definitely nominate it for best action/drama/horror/comedy of the year so far.
Nothing else was really interesting, really. Oh I remember, US History. So, our board game was pretty fragile and contained a lot of pieces to setup. The teacher had us box our game and hand it to another group to playtest, and then pass it on to another group. So, every time it's handed over, the team has to repackage our game, then another group opens it up. Yeah, pieces probably fell out (PVA glue doesn't cut it). There was a couple games that were really innovative. One had a card-game type of playstyle which I REALLY liked. I didn't want to rate theirs too well because uh, yeah, I kinda wanted to win, heh.
The teacher didn't announce the winner and will on Monday, so I'm taking the chance that my group won and not do the 30-point assignment. That's it for academics, next was KDT practice, which is just us doing run-throughs. It was, okay I guess. I didn't perform as well as I liked, so, I'll probably improve next week, for sure considering I gotta spend 2 hours each day, plus more. So now, uh, the weekend. Played some Blade and Soul, I eventually got a black screen and crash. Downloaded Maplestory and played on the Reboot server with a Xenon. Fumbled around and modified my lightsaber again today, went to a buffet, and that's about it.
Will probably talk about events tomorrow, for now, gotta go. See ya.

You're probably wondering if I'm tired right now considering it's 1:27 AM. The answer is yes, I am tired. A LOT of fuckih tired.
Spent the whole day working on the fucking game board pieces and board, gluing, cutting, gluing cutting. I don't wanna get into detail about anything, the whole day was just chill, nothing too exciting. Also it appears Vl is uh, her first period is right next to mine. It's confirmed even more considering next door for first period is my World History teacher from last year. 1st period for her is World History, which Sophomores take.
Anyways, so tired that I just chose not to do math work. I wanted to but I like to put my health over academics, you get what I'm saying. So, whatever. See ya.

Songs to Remember:
Well, I for one am certainly tired, and I didn't really do a hint of assigned work, besides the board game project of course.
The assignments I got right now aren't exactly due tomorrow, most of them are due next week or Friday, sooo, I'm storing them for the weekend so I got more time to work on the board game, and damn is it fucking boring and tedious, heh. Cutting and gluing, cutting and gluing, measuring in between, so goddamn tedious. I'm about 50% finished now, just gotta finish some more buildings, some of the litter perimeter, put them obstacles and objectives on the board spaces, and then finishing touches. Aesthetically, ours is fucking amazing. Gameplay wise, it's unique, but kinda boring in my opinion.
Alright, lets get on with it. Psychology, pretty straightforward notes. We corrected our own FRQ's today. I have myself a 9/22, only because I didn't know it was worth so much, and, because I didn't exactly study hard enough. It's okay though, other people did shit too so. I'm guessing it was because it's a test on the day after the 3-day weekend. English, we discuss the book. Biology, we get time to work on shit by yourselves. Yay. Math, now the material right now is hard as shit. Like, nobody understands, there is so many steps to remember, too many variations in word problems, just a fucking mess. Lunch, now that was normal. US History, the atmosphere was nice today with everybody working on each other's crossword puzzles. I was like "You know what? This is one of my favorite classes." Partly because of the teacher but, you get what I mean.
And finally Chinese, which was pretty smooth. Lots of reading, heh. Afterschool was 2 hours of KDT practice. Or should I say, 1 and a half hours of waiting and 30 minutes of real practice for me. All in all, still got a heaping ton of work to do on the project that's due Friday. I'm meeting up with my group members tomorrow afterschool so we can see what we have so far for our board game. And uh, test, err, quiz, err, "quest," tomorrow for English. Mmm who doesn't love quests. Anyways, see ya.

Songs to Remember: Fantasy Girl - Can-do
Well the amount of work I get surely isn't allowing me much time to work on the board game, as it's due Friday. I'm tired out from all the work so I'll just be brief for today.
Psychology, test, even though I did sorta study, I didn't really go in-depth. So, 27/50 for the multiple choice. Ouch. That's expected though, and I don't blame myself, this chapter was fucking long that the teacher didn't have enough time to lecture the 2nd part of the chapter and that we had to study it on our own. The study guide for the chapter was 96 questions, yes, 96. Both fill-in-blank and multiple choice. Only an insane person would do all of them legitly, or somebody who just really likes Psychology. English, we got our essays back. I got average on the rubrik, except for transition words which I got a 1 for, but I did get a 5 on active voice. And uh, we talked a bit about chapter 2 of Beloved.
Biology was just us working individually (or with other people) on a worksheet, ya know. Math was pretty brutal, word problems are convoluted as fuck, and there aren't enough examples to cover at least 50% of 'em in our book. Lunch was the usual again, we go, we sit, we eat. In silence for sometime, before somebody talks about badminton or badminton team gossip, or random shit occasionally. Or current events. Am was here today too.
My highlight of the day was probably US History. We got an extra day to work with our team on our board game, or just do work. The thing is, it was pretty sudden, and so we didn't have Chromebooks and didn't have our gameboard supplies. It was alright though, it was actually good. One of our team members wasn't here today, so Tr and Ky just talked about like prom, makeup, etc. It was refreshing to be honest to hear new things in a conversation. I mean it's not like everyday I hear girls talk about makeup and prom. It was insightful. And uh, new. So yeah.
Chinese was calm. We practiced reading the book, reviewed, reviewed, reviewed, and reviewed some more. Hopefully nothing too active tomorrow, heh. Also, KDT practice tomorrow, in which I don't have to actually dance 'till 3:45 PM, which is an hour and 45 minutes afterschool. I could use that time to do work, which is probably online and requires a PC, or work on the board game. But, nope, so I'll probably just browse Reddit or something in the meantime. Anyways, gonna go to bed, which I already am in. It:s 12:50 AM, see ya.

Don't know if I've mentioned this before but I did get a 60/70 on my latest math quiz and a 77/100 on my latest essay, so with that I'm comfortable with, I'll take it. As for the upcoming weeks, not so comfortable with.
First of all, it was primarily just lightsabers work today. Pieces were fitted, then glued, then spray painted (partially). The blade retention screw was also drilled amd added. My dad did pretty much all the work, I'm guessing he wanted to do it all as so that I don't mess things up. I mean I appreciate it but like, I won't learn from just watching, I gotta learn from experience. Anyways, the saber's almost complete, tomorrow I'll be at school and my dad's gonna spray paint the rest of it. By tonight I'll be able to assemble the whole thing and add some final touches. As for my other project, the board game, it's at a standstill right now, didn't really do any work for that today. But tomorrow, gonna have to set aside some time to finish at most, 50% of the pieces.
Why? Because the deadline's Friday. And my plate's pretty much filled for the next 2 weeks. I got a Psychology test tomorrow so that's great. KDT practice afterschool on Wednesday, finish the board game on Thursday and meet up with my group members on Thursday (possibly) to go over what we have, Friday's when my partner's and I's Bio PowerPoint is due, 3-day weekend is which is nice, but then it's KDT practice everyday, like, hardcore. Not even kidding, I gotta be at school at 6:00 AM on Friday.
And I was debating whether to even write all this because I literally just finished work (for like, 4 classes) about 30 minutes ago. I had the GameGrumps' Sonic '06 play through on autoplay from parts 24 to 38. That's how long I spent on work. Tomorrow I'll have to finish work quick to get shit done on, I think I wrote this already. Yeah, I did. Alright, well uh, yeah, busy, busy, busy. See ya.

A lot of work cutting. And sanding. And watching my dad cut because I don't know how to use a hacksaw. And vice. But, the saber so far is turning out pretty well.
I tested fitting the parts together with ducttape and it seemed alright, a bit better than I expected. All I need to do now is spray paint my pieces, then glue them together, then finally thread a hole for the blade retention screw, then bam, done with that. I showed my cousin the hilt I got so far and uh, looks like he's gone shopping online for PVC and flashlights. Now, the other project, I've made like half a building so far, and it's just so so tedious. I gotta like rush through and cut, cut, cut foamboard after foamboard in order to finish this, because on Tuesday and so on I'll have like practice everyday afterschool because of KDT. To add onto that, schoolwork. So, kinda in a pickle.
And I'm sorta in one right now already, 'cause there's a test tomorrow for Psychology, and 3 assignments I gotta start and finish, and we all know I'm probably gonna do them all at night. Oh well. Anyways, it's 12:27 AM, gonna head to bed. See ya.

My room is a fire hazard right now with all the scraps of paper, knick knacks, tape, glue, foam board, monopoly box, boxes, and a whole bunch of other things.
So these projects are going a LOT harder than I expected. First of all, finding a screw insert at Home Depot was like, nearly impossible, as well as explaining to my dad what I wanted to do with the screw and PVC. It wasn't until we got home after 2 hours from shopping at Wal-Mart, Michael's, and Home Depot that my dad went back to Home Depot to look for it. He came back with a drillbit and a button-head screw and so we're choosing to just thread a hole through the PVC itself instead of gluing a screw insert into it and then using a screw. I know, right, thinking back now, I probably should've just ordered the screws online.
After that, I wasn't going to be able to finish these 2 projects today, not by a long shot. Doing math and resizing and editing the board I designed on GIMP so I can print it out onto 12 sheets of paper, wait for the sheets to print, then use an x-acto knife to cut them out, tape them to eachother, then glue it onto the board and making cuts and glue ripped pieces back together. That took around 2 hours or something. The hardest part today was probably cutting foamboard. Geez, that was so tedious, having to cut twice to make sure it goes through the 2 sides of cardstock, in a straight line (attempt to, really), and then gluing them together. With gorilla glue, which doesn't really work unless your doing like heavy work. This is just foamboard so it's sorta a nuisance more than help. Tape actually did more work than gorilla glue.
That was the shit that happened from 11:30 AM to now, which is 12:45 AM. Good news is, that was actually good stress. Bad stress if like, math work, where the outcome is just whatever. This however, I'm actually looking forward to finishing it all and be like "Wow, I made that." So even though it was a lot of work, I was productive. So yeah, tomorrow I'll hopefully, HOPEFULLY, finish at least one. Then get started on a bit of work, because I haven't started any work yet (homework). So, see ya.

My room is a fire hazard right now with all the scraps of paper, knick knacks, tape, glue, foam board, monopoly box, boxes, and a whole bunch of other things.

Songs to Remember: I Know What You Did Last Summer - Shawn Mendes
No I did not forget to write, I was just having a bit too much fun prepping for the projects I'll be working on tomorrow and Sunday. Because, my blade and my Amazon packages did arrive, today.
Psychology was pretty bad, umm, our group performed pretty shit, heh, and unprofessional/un-rehearsed. Another group used props, which was kinda cool, but their singing was worth than ours in my opinion. Then there was this other group who did practice their shit, and had a good singer. So, yeah.
English was pretty interesting, we discussed these parts in the first part of "Beloved" and uh, watched a clip from the movie (starring Oprah). Let's just say it's not for kids, heh. Biology was just another Chromebook work day, nothing special. Math, yeah it was nothing special. Lunch, Ek's feeling a bit better, but, yeah, still the same. US History, we actually went to go watch the Indian Show (that's literally what it's called) in the theater. It's like the Lunar Show preview where you get to see small parts of acts from the full show, as a sneak peak, to see if you wanna go. Only it's not the Lunar Show, it's the Indian Show.
My favorite part was when there was this act of just one dude jamming on the drums for 2 minutes straight. That was, that was it. The only reason he was in the show was because he was Indian. Anyways, Chinese we had a quiz, vocab quiz, which I did completely forget about until Jk reminded me during lunch. And then finally KDT after school where we rehearsed our acts. Pretty fun.
And so, I came home to both my packages in my room (and yes, my parents did go through 'em. Like, really). I fumbled around a bit with the parts, I didn't like how I gotta do some work on the saber, like, how the tip doesn't fit into it, because I guess the tip was made for thin-walled sabers and mine's was thick-walled. Even though I did remember I bought the one for the thick-walled, it says so right there on the site. But, no matter, don't wanna send it back to receive it 4 days afterwards, and pay shipping charges for something so small.
But yeah, overall I'm looking forward to making this thing. Also, it's 12:51 AM. See ya.

Songs to Remember: $ave Dat One For Me (Lil Dicky// Fetty Wap// Great Good Fine OK) - The White Panda
God damn is it gonna be DIY Fridays. Just kidding, I'll start on the projects on Saturday. Also, apparently an address (I guess) can be a symbol in fucking books.
Psychology was, oh. I was about to say that it was just notes and thought about the amount of times I've said that so far for this year. Anyways, we had Chromebooks and worked in our groups on writing our song and whatnot. Well, most of us. I took the time to read that 20-page article (spoilers, the quiz wasn't today either). Good timing right? But holy shit was it long. I was literally, not even kidding, getting sleepy from reading. It was just so fucking boring. And so, group members worked on the song, they didn't seem to mind that I wasn't really contributing, I don't think they noticed. We'll be performing our song tomorrow too by the way, and the song's "Focus" by Arianna Grande.
English, uh, was just us getting our new books for the next 6 weeks, and more time to talk to Lt, see if I could make things interesting. And you know what happens? She plays Hearthstone while we were doing so (getting our books). It didn't really matter, I couldn't think of anything, nor did I care at that time, I was just, bored, heh. For the upcoming Winter Ball, I'm not even fucking sure if I am going, I don't think my buddies are going, I got Lunar Show that day too so it'll be quite the special if I do. And uh, Lt's probably gonna be busy that day too. But, doesn't hurt to try.
Biology was another chill day (chill? Did I just say that right now? And day?). We had Chromebooks, worked on our project (which is apparently in partners so, a little bit less off my workload). Math was just more practice, each problem takes quite a while to do, and we're approaching the next hardest part of the lesson: word problems. I'm like "Aww, just fuck me over fam." Lunch, Ek hasn't been feeling well today either so she's out, the rest of us just went to Chinese Club, then to our usual place. US History, now I got shit done in there alright. Told my group members my plan, showed 'em the miniatures we'll be using, and uh, they looked pleased. I'm pleased to actually in my plan. And uh, I guess I'm going with remaking "Lockdown" pathways onto the board. Will it be lots of work? Oh yeah, but I got lots of motivation right now so it'll be fine.
And finally Chinese, where we had the Chromebooks to work on uh, I guess a mini project where we do sentences on a PowerPoint, nothing too special. Got it finished 90% of the way, I actually forgot to uh, prep the thing just now. Just remembered about it. Damn, heh. Well, it's not due 'till Saturday so. And uh, yeah. KDT practice tomorrow but I got down the moves and positioning so I'm comfortable. And, I don't gotta practice 'till 4:00 PM, after they finish the 2nd round of people.
Also the first few parts I ordered online didn't arrive today, even though Amazon did say they would arrive at 8:00 PM today. Well, I mean I guess mailmen wouldn't wanna work at 8:00 PM so, makes sense. If my blade comes in tomorrow too, god damn is it gonna be full-on DIY this weekend. Still, is, but would be a bit less. I also gotta ship for a lot of materials, err, art supplies, for both my saber and the miniature buildings for the board. Gonna be pretty work-heavy, but I got the motivation. And, Inglorious Bastards helped out a lot too. In distracting me from my math work, but hey, it was some entertainung distractions. And damn, movie's still epic even on my 2nd re-watch of it.
Well alright, time to review some last-minute shit and go to sleep. See ya.

Songs to Remember: Highway - Mr.Mr
Just when I thought the atmosphere was at a good point, my parents go on over to our tenant to ask them to vacate somewhere else. My dad's been wanting them to move ever since they were late multiple times on the rent. This time, my dad was sorta giving leeway to them and said they could stay 'till they find another place (which by the way, would probably take around less than 10 minutes to find). My mom got mad at my dad, with him being the one that wanted them to move in the first place, for letting them take it easy, and uh, yeah. Complications were met, no mention of splitting so that's good in my book. We're still going with that plan right? Of course.
You know how yesterday I said I didn't want any more projects (well, ones I'd wanna do anyway)? I got just what I wanted today, a project. And of course, not just by myself, but, wait for it, a group project. Woooo. Yeah, I'm kidding. It's the same one we've done before, we gotta change the lyrics of a song, act parts of it out. This time, it's 3 large groups, about 10 people each. We divided ourselves into 2 sides, the performers and the singers. And yeah, I was selected as one of the singers from my past performance, heh.
English, even though last night's work was to read a 20-page article (which I rushed through in the morning), we were expected to have a quiz. Nope, even though it said so online, we didn't, we did a bootleg pointless survey on our AP classes. Wooo. For the whole period too. Biology, we had Chromebooks to work on our, you guessed it, slideshow project. With Excel. And graphs. Wooo. Also I have an F currently in Bio, didn't know why 'till today when I checked my grades in detail. "Notes were not your own." Well I mean come on, I'd write about the same anyways if I were to take them, there'd be no point in double of the same notes.
Math was just practice on graphing double-derivatives. Woooo, heh. Lunch was the same as well, Ek wasn't here today since she's sick. US History, we got started on making our own cross-words, which I did in Geography so, nothing new to me. And finally Chinese where we just read from the book and had people present their research summaries.
As for work, I got some projects to work on. Lots. First of all, the board game. I forgot to mention this, but the reward for the team with the best board game doesn't have to do next week's weekend assignment. That thing's worth 30 points, so the team that wins gets it for FREE. I'm like "Uh, FREELO." I was super into this board game making, but then it felt like wasted effort since I didn't care about the reward (which has always been like, food). Nope, it's free points, less workload, I'll take it. Plus, now I have a reason to make this board game personal, and that is by basing it off of the map... wait, I already said this idea ,heh. Alright, you get the idea. Also I thought I was gonna draw it all until I remembered I have GIMP. Rasterization, here we come.
The rest is probably gonna be over the weekend, 3-day weekend though so that's nice. Don't wanna slack off 'cause I'ma get shit on on Monday if I do. Anyways, see ya.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that SHIMMIXES finally uploaded the 2015 K-Pop Mashup. Was excited, very excited, upon listening to it there were only a few sections that I enjoyed/well-blended together. Was it sorta dissapointing? Yeah, but hey, maybe if I listen to it some more, I'll grow to like it. Anyways, see ya.

Songs to Remember: Fantasy Girl -Cando
Hey, what's going on. These past couple weeks, well, now that I think about it, a week and a day since Christmas break, I haven't been feeling the best, I've gotten, lazier. I do agree, I've felt better in the past.
So, Psychology. Umm, more bootleg activities, concerning partners, but nothing too bootleg. At least there hasn't been a group project or some shit like that lately. Oh and uh, just notes. English has been a lot of discussion lately, probably because we're sorta transitioning to a different book since we're done with "The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail." It was okay, to be honest I did not spend any time to read the book, at all, besides, being forced to, or, glancing at the pages. Or during the essay. All I did was read the summary several times, which was probably enough, heh.
Yeah, discussion, and today it was on race. These 2 people in class spoke for like 5 minutes straight each, I was like "...Go on." Probably the longest uh, opinion I've ever heard in a class. But it was good, good time to think. Uh, as for Lt and I news, god am I like, BORED, heh. I cannot stress enough the same topics everyday, even if it is for just 10 minutes. In the beginning she mentioned shit I didn't expect, and that was exciting, because it was a surprise. Now, I know what to expect, a bit too predictable, sooo, just getting kinda tired of it. Still either too lazy or don't know what to do about it.
Biology, whew man. Quiz, easy, 6 multiple choice questions, I didn't study, but I got a 4/6. Shit score really, and it was fucking easy, but whatever. There was a lecture, the teacher told us stories of how she was in High school and liked the "bad boys." Wasn't even exaggerating, she dated a dude who couldn't get through California Hills High school (known to have a pretty bad reputation, heh) and worked 2 jobs- McDonalds and Golfland. She said she's heard he still works at Golfland to this day. And uh, yeah, we turned in our notes (which was work), I was going to take notes yesterday night, but it looked as if the notes I was gonna take were gonna be the same as the ones I took from last week's lecture. So, I labeled those as my notes.
Spoiler alert, I looked at my grades, currently have an F in Biology. Due to the 0 I got for the notes. I'm like "Really? Really?" And yes, the grades have been reset already. Anyways, math was just a quiz, was not too hard, all of it was just stuff we've done before and practiced. Lunch, DrewN went to have a private lunch with his girl buddy, Am was here today though and joined the cast and I at the lockers. And holy fuck, it was pretty silent except for the occasional badminton talk. Like, damn, at that time, I was thinking like "Can't wait to write about how this shit's silent as fuck." And well, here I am. We just need another game night like old times and it'll be revitalized.
US History, we finally got a chance to work in our groups for our board game. I have yet to start drawing or anything for the board, I do have it planned (aesthetically that is) and found my old Warhammer 40k Tau Fire Warriors to use as the game pieces. I visualized the board to be like the map "Lockdown" from MW3. I'll be attempting to build the buildings out of foamboard this weekend. And speaking of projects, I ordered my lightsaber supplies today, the hilt pieces will be arriving in 2 days, the saber part, hopefully this week. If not, next week, because it's shipped from Idaho. So yeah, pretty excited for that, it's gonna be a fun little project, stress-relieving, and it'll provide bonding with my dad, 'cause ya know, powertools, machining, uh, drills, and cutting PVC pipes. And I've barely done all those things in my life.
Finally Chinese, where we just read from the book, practice writing words on the board, hmm, yeah. Not much work today, mostly 'cause today there was a quiz for math and I finished math work yesterday. That's all the news. And just for a statement of emotion, I haven;t been feeling well, emotionally, physically is just whatever, heh. Not depressed, not that level, just, I kinda want to be maybe, I don't know, some time in the past. Like, my real friends, my real, real friends, the ones who can relate to me the most. Talking about Ec and like, those of us in which we all hung out at that one tree in middle school. Man, those were the days.
But here's a reason to feel better- I got a DIY lightsaber coming soon. My cousin and I are gonna talk a whole bunch of shit about it once he hears that I've ordered the parts. And hey, building a fucking lightsaber, it's an idea, I don't have much experience with powertools, I love designing, being creative on something I can get into, it's new, gives a me a learning experience, chance to express myself, and, just, it's fucking Star Wars. Alright Drew? Alright, see ya.

Lunch, DrewN went to have a private lunch with his girl buddy, Am was here today though and joined the cast and I at the lockers. And holy fuck, it was pretty silent except for the occasional badminton talk. Like, damn, at that time, I was thinking like "Can't wait to write about how this shit's silent as fuck." And well, here I am. We just need another game night like old times and it'll be revitalized.
US History, we finally got a chance to work in our groups for our board game. I have yet to start drawing or anything for the board, I do have it planned (aesthetically that is) and found my old Warhammer 40k Tau Fire Warriors to use as the game pieces. I visualized the board to be like the map "Lockdown" from MW3. I'll be attempting to build the buildings out of foamboard this weekend. And speaking of projects, I ordered my lightsaber supplies today, the hilt pieces will be arriving in 2 days, the saber part, hopefully this week. If not, next week, because it's shipped from Idaho. So yeah, pretty excited for that, it's gonna be a fun little project, stress-relieving, and it'll provide bonding with my dad, 'cause ya know, powertools, machining, uh, drills, and cutting PVC pipes. And I've barely done all those things in my life.
Finally Chinese, where we just read from the book, practice writing words on the board, hmm, yeah. Not much work today, mostly 'cause today there was a quiz for math and I finished math work yesterday. That's all the news. And just for a statement of emotion, I haven;t been feeling well, emotionally, physically is just whatever, heh. Not depressed, not that level, just, I kinda want to be maybe, I don't know, some time in the past. Like, my real friends, my real, real friends, the ones who can relate to me the most. Talking about Ec and like, those of us in which we all hung out at that one tree in middle school. Man, those were the days.
But here's a reason to feel better- I got a DIY lightsaber coming soon. My cousin and I are gonna talk a whole bunch of shit about it once he hears that I've ordered the parts. And hey, building a fucking lightsaber, it's an idea, I don't have much experience with powertools, I love designing, being creative on something I can get into, it's new, gives a me a learning experience, chance to express myself, and, just, it's fucking Star Wars. Alright Drew? Alright, see ya.

Songs to Remember: Highway - MR.MR
I continually think it's Tuesday and that tomorrow is Wednesday. And I continue to write 2015 before I realize it right after.
So a lot of thing happened, mostly non-concerning school, just outside stuff, or stuff that happens from the comfort of my PC screen. Like, the death of David Bowie for example. Yep, I was here for David Bowie's death. And watch, my English teacher's gonna play one of his songs tomorrow, most likely.
Psychology was just notes, nothing all that special, English was an in-class essay, and, a vocab quiz. Which, I sorta knew but took the risk and didn't study. At home that is. In class I saw people studying and so I figured there was. I got a good system for memorizing 10 vocabulary words, just imagine the person who would say it. And yes, I did get a 100% on the quiz. The essay was probably much different, umm, not my best work, but, ehhh, I'd say it was at least a B. B-.
Lt doesn't really talk about Hearthstone anymore, still plays it though, just doesn't say much about it. What she does say more about is her internship at a dentist's office. She hands me a list and tells me to choose the dentist I go to. I recently switched so I don't really know now, but I saw that my old dentist's name was on there. She was like "Oh I was actually going to choose that place. Be in an office with Chinese men." I'm just like "*sigh*... yeah."
Biology was just a boring free-response practice test, nothing special. Math was the same. Lunch was the same, just more badminton talk, US History, we watched a documentary on the Navajo code talkers, and yes, dark lighting, a video that doesn't really capture my attention, silence with ambient sounds, closing my eyes, yes, it was the perfect mood for sleeping.
And finally Chinese where we just practice reading the book and writing words, nothing abnormal. So uh, tomorrow I'll have to work on my group's board for our board game, I'm just not gonna come up with too many ideas, just wanna get it done with enough effort that my group members are okay with it, and because my creativity's already poured into figuring out the dimensions and measurements for a lightsaber I'll be eventually building. I'm already caught up in looking at custom lightsaber videos, godamn hype.
And no, I didn't play Bloodborne today, was too preoccupied looking at materials online for my lightsaber. I think once I built it, I'll be satisfied, the hype will die down 'till it's over. Or, 'till the next Star Wars movie comes out. Anyways, quizzes tomorrow for both Bio and math so, there's that. It's 12:15 AM, just finished with work (but not studying). I'll see you tomorrow.
Oh and I also came across my old buddy's Facebook. He interacted with me in 6th grade, he was in another class but, ya know. Didn't see him after 6th grade, at all. I saw a picture of a dude who looked like him, wearing the same red jacket I remember him wearing back in 6th grade. Looked him up out of curiosity and bam, there he was. And, apparently he now has some ballin' hair. Man did he go through some phases. Anyways, see ya.

Songs to Remember: So Mack - Vasco & Geragida
It's only been a week after we got back from holiday break and hey whadya know, we got an in-class essay tomorrow. Is it time to get my grade fucked over already?
It may appear so. It's 1:03 AM and I'm doing last-minute, really last-minute notes, which we're allowed to use on it. Why didn't I do it earlier? Well I uh, had to play a bit of Bloodborne first, we all know that. I was planning on just straight doing work in the afternoon so that it lessen the work for the upcoming week, but uh, that got moved to after 8:00 PM. And then that got moved to, well, now.
I also got the inspiration to plan out on making a lightsaber out of PVC, a polycarbonate blade, and a flashlight. It's actually pretty simple, my cousin got into the idea as well. Still in the planning stages though, but uh, so far it seems very plausible.
But enough of this, gonna get back to trying to keep myself from drowning. In words. English. So, see ya.

Songs to Remember: Come On Come On - Smash Mouth
I got things to do and I've been thinking about a lot of things. And it seems pretty weird to be thinking about the things you've recently thought about.
So today's just been full of uh, thinking. Shit's been sorta boring with the cast but, I think it's 'cause we don't really do parties (or "game nights") anymore. I don't know, until someone mentions it, it's just, us sitting at the lockers and just talk about 40% random things, 60% badminton.
Anyways, Psychology wasn't all that bad. The teacher had these samples in cups and covered them. We were to smell them and guess what they were, 18 in total. Out of those 18. I only got 1 right, and yes, there were some pretty bad smells. But that wasn't the fun part, the fun part was that we got to watch Goof Mythical Morning in class, the smell test episode. I was "Daaamn, who else can say they watched GMM in class?"
English was just people doing the rest of their presentations, and then we just discussed some shit, which was how the in-class essay's gonna be on Monday. I'm like "Really? Really? You tell us this now?" Would've been nice to know a bit before, 'cause now instead of that little bit of break I wanted, gotta squeeze in that bit of studying now. Also just something fun I forgot to mention, when the teacher played "Girls" by The Beastie Boys 2 days ago, I looked up the music video for it. There was no official one, but there was a fanmade one, made by dudes in a film class back in 2007. 2 million views though. I looked in the description and it said that it was at this one High school, the same one my cousin goes to. What are the odds right?
Continuing on, Lt and I have just been whatever, she talks a lot about random stuff, but even then, that shit doesn't really interest me. She also talks a lot about taking classes at this community college. A lot of people do it though, advanced people, who wanna get in that extra class credit. Still, that shit doesn't hold my attention.
Biology was a lecture with some bonus stories. The teacher told us these bootleg stories of her role as a mom and this other story about how her best friend in college's girlfriend got examined in the wrong hole by a gynecologist. Yeah, umm, very interesting, heh. Probably 20 minutes of her telling stories, which I love. Math was the same as usual, nothing new. Umm, my mom apparently forgot to pack my lunch, I didn't even notice actually. And so she texted me, drove over during lunchtime to give me it. That's something new I guess.
US History was just more, I'd say, ways to burn time. These past couple days we just used the Chromebooks to research and write about what we researched. WW2 of course. Would've rather preferred to work with our group members on our board game, due in 2 weeks, but whatever. Also there was this one girl's birthday today so the teacher sprayed her with silly string. That's new right?
And finally Chinese, where we just read. From the book. I was actually doing work as we were reading, Chinese work that is. After school was 2 hours of practice. We practiced both of my dances, one that I'm not in, and a part where I play a police officer and use a flashlight as my gun. It's like an intro thing to our act and our theme is like, criminals/rebels-ish. So, yeah. They also moved me around a bit for the dances 'cause I never really got a spot as I didn't attend that one Saturday practice. Jt was there as well this time, so that was nice. You know, Jt, the dude who was my partner in yearbook during 7th grade? Yeah.
So, when I went home, it got a bit better. The atmosphere I mean, just a bit lighter. I had this idea where I would invite my parents to see the Lunar Show and see me perform. They don't really know what goes on in my classes, my schoolwork. Or, why I always tell my mom to pick me up at 5:00 PM on some days. It'll also give 'em something to be proud of too, like "Wow, my son is performing on stage for all these people." I'm sure it'll make the atmosphere much more positive in the house, and between my parents and me. I wanna say it's kinda like a plan to reunite us all, and I'll be like "Aww, it's just like the movies!"
Besides that, I've also planned out that I got some work for this weekend so, Sunday is work day it is, heh. Well, there was my thinking. This series has gotten pretty dark, well, that's not the right word, more like, black and white. That's the best description of it is right now. All it needs is some color. Well, see ya.

Songs to Remember: Roses - The Chainsmokers
Considering it's 12:14 AM and I just wanna go to sleep, I'll just talk a little bit about things.
School was about the same, nothing really stood out today besides me presenting with my partner in English, relating Star Wars Episode V to Maxims of Emerson. My dad has been quiet for the past couple days, he's mostly in his room, doesn't really talk to my mom or me, he's usually really loud. He's also stopped waking up early in the morning to ride in the car with me to school.
There's been only one instance of this before, but that was years ago. I thought it was maybe something I said that caused this, but today I overheard my dad try to talk to my mom, joking or about something, just in a light manner. Or something. She just said she didn't want to talk because she didn't want to a conversation to lead to an argument and bring stress to everybody. Basically, unless theres something urgent or whatever he needed to say, there's no reason to say anything. So, my dad just sent back to his room.
And I can sorta see where some of this stemmed from. Like, the hardest my parents have argued was when discussing about the family that's renting a room at our home. They were sorta late on payments so my dad wants to kick 'em out, but my mom thought there was no reason to, that they didn't mean any harm or weren't disruptive or whatever. That led to moments of silence for a few days, umm, then shit sorta got back to normal. Did you know we used to eat dinner together? We did. We all sat at the dinner table and ate at the same time. It changed when I got to High school though. I started staying up later, partly due to starting my work a bit later when I got home, something similar to that. So, my mom moved my shower time to 6:00 PM from 10:00 PM.
That sorta stretched to 7:00 PM now, I eat dinner till around 7:45 PM, but by that time, my mom's already finished with hers, she eats sitting on the couch watching TV, my dad eats dinner at an earlier time of around 6:00 PM or so. Things have changed a lot these past years, and I do blame tranistions and stress to be the cause of this, I really do.
Well, the only positive outcome of all this would have to be the peace and quiet in the day. And, I can be a bit more independent now. I have to manage my own time, and in my opinion, it's pretty offy right now. But anyways, I'm going to sleep, see ya.

Songs to Remember: Girls - Beastie Boys
Gonna make this a quick one because I am just sleepy right now, as usual.
Psychology was just plain notes, English was just doing a bit of vocabulary review, as well as going over a bit on our responses from our final. Also, the teacher apparently knows this one singer, Joanna Newsom. Like, know knows her, and said he could have her come to class if we wanted (it's the same girl who sang the song he played back during 1st semester). We were like "Hell yeah" 'cause like c'mon, who wouldn't want to meet a talented artist. She has like 1 million views so far on her latest song "Sapokanikan."
Anyways, talks with Lt (between passing periods) has been uh, well, different at most, I guess. For Biology, we basically did nothing. There were Chromebooks so we could do last night's assignment, because the teacher knows we didn't do it. I didn't do it. In class I did do it though, but even as I was rushing through, I was like "Damn, the only reason this is an hour long is because we gotta measure fucking lizard appendages."
Math was the usual, nothing special. And yes, it did rain all day. Lunch was nothing special, US History was just more planning for our board game, and Chinese was just going over the vocabulary and reading the book. Overall, nothing major due tomorrow, or yet, so it's all fine. Umm, so yeah, see ya.

So the president of KDT posted an announcement, talking about what the songs are for the Lunar show Day show. As in, those performances during school hours and teachers can sign their classes up to go see a sort of sneak-peak for the Lunar Show, usually it's on the same night as the day. I was like "Aww FUCK." Totally forgot about the day show. Looks I'll have to perform 3 times in a row, on consecutive days.
But that's near the end of January. Right now I'm recovering from Christmas break still. I do have things planned so nothing to worry about, no need to get stressed. So yeah, let's get to it. Psychology, we had a bootleg "Fun Friday" on a Tuesday as sort of an intro to our chapter on "perception." I'd rather have a lecture instead because usually these kinda activities aren't that "fun" or exciting, and they weren't.
We changed seats today in English, of course. Umm, thought I had a nice seat next to DrewN, apparently I was sitting where he was supposed to be sitting. I actually just moved over to the left one seat, Lt moved to basically behind her seat from before, before. Not that great of a seat I got, in my opinion, could definitely be better. But anyhow, we just uh, did our vocabulary quiz, written, and, yeah. Also we discussed how our generation has been the most depressed ever (with statistical evidence to prove it) and talked about how our goal, our generation, is just, fame. Then the teacher talked about how people sell out on the internet for money and virality We asked if he would, he said nah, but we all know he would, heh.
Today's Lt convo's better than yesterday, that's for sure. But still, it's just kinda whatever. Biology, lecture, nice. Homework though, approximately 1 hour, and yes, I have yet to do it. But, it's like an interactive PC site app thing, so. Also the teacher told this one bootleg story involving this hot girl at her college and how she was able to get such good grades. Now from just the context, I was thinking "Oh shit, things are gonna get thrilling." So the teacher's friend was able to become the boyfriend of her. He was able to stay at her apartment, and ya know what he saw? The girl just recorded the lecture and played it over and over non-stop, continuously for days. Yep, that was her method. Was definitely not how all of us thought the story was gonna turn out, heh. Anyways, math, pretty much the same. Lunch, went to the writing club with DrewN and Am, then went to the lockers.
US History, we got a project. Group, project. We gotta construct a board game based on WW2. Sounds pretty cool, didn't really like how we had to work in groups of fucking 4 though. That, was before Ky was like "Ay, we should partner up." And so, I got into a group with her, this one other girl who's in my English class and was in my 6th grade class, and this one other girl. Ky and I had the same idea for the game- to have it be about escaping a fucking concentration camp, heh. Go to jail card? More like, go to the gas chambers card.
Well, that was our original idea. The instructions are to have it be at least 50% focused on the US. Ah well, we're still brainstorming ideas. We're gonna incorporate gas chambers somewhere though, and camps. For Chinese, just went over the vocab, that was it. Also the teacher told lots of stories too. And so, that was it. It rained a lot today, and so was yesterday. Tomorrow too probably. And the next day. And the next day. And the next day. But anyways, see ya.

Songs to Remember: Oeo - XIA
So the president of KDT posted an announcement, talking about what the songs are for the Lunar show Day show. As in, those performances during school hours and teachers can sign their classes up to go see a sort of sneak-peak for the Lunar Show, usually it's on the same night as the day. I was like "Aww FUCK." Totally forgot about the day show. Looks I'll have to perform 3 times in a row, on consecutive days.
But that's near the end of January. Right now I'm recovering from Christmas break still. I do have things planned so nothing to worry about, no need to get stressed. So yeah, let's get to it. Psychology, we had a bootleg "Fun Friday" on a Tuesday as sort of an intro to our chapter on "perception." I'd rather have a lecture instead because usually these kinda activities aren't that "fun" or exciting, and they weren't.
We changed seats today in English, of course. Umm, thought I had a nice seat next to DrewN, apparently I was sitting where he was supposed to be sitting. I actually just moved over to the left one seat, Lt moved to basically behind her seat from before, before. Not that great of a seat I got, in my opinion, could definitely be better. But anyhow, we just uh, did our vocabulary quiz, written, and, yeah. Also we discussed how our generation has been the most depressed ever (with statistical evidence to prove it) and talked about how our goal, our generation, is just, fame. Then the teacher talked about how people sell out on the internet for money and virality We asked if he would, he said nah, but we all know he would, heh.

Songs to Remember: So Bad - Moonshine
I fucking forgot to hit publish on the post I worked on last night. Just goes to show I'm out of it and not ready to go back to work, heh.
Well, in the morning I definitely felt robotic. Just, walking to 1st period, sitting in my seat, walking to my next class, etc. As in, having done this for 2 and a half years already, I just notice it's starting to seem monotonous. Like, what else am I supposed to think while walking to class? I notice my surroundings, I notice I'm walking to class, and I'm like "Yep, walking to class."
Psychology was a nice break, to be expected. We just went over our final, going over the questions and FRQ. Apparently I got a 77/88, which is pretty good, a bit too good. And yes, it was too good, because when I looked at my original test, there were 100 questions. Yep, teacher curved it for everybody 'cause the highest score on the multiple choice was an 89. I was like "Oh. Not bad though." As for the FRQ, it was out of 10 and 7 for the 2nd one. I got a 7 on the first one, which was not bad, but a fucking 1, heh, on the 2nd one.
And yeah, many, many people got absolutely shit on for the 2nd one, including me. So, the teacher only took the highest score out of our 2 FRQ's. Whew. Not bad though. That was it for Psychology, English was another break. And yeah, there were new seats, we'll be changing tomorrow. But today was just us getting back what we wrote for that final. Pretty much got C's for it all, multiple choice was most likely curved as well. Still, ended up with a B for the semester so, I'll fucking take it.
Lt and I, ehhhhh. That's exactly I feel about it. I mean, her cousin was like "I ship you guys." in Chinese class today, and like yeah, thanks, but come on, help a brother out here. Oh and I was also wearing my new jacket today. Very warm, was expecting to be even warmer but it fucking sprinkled in the morning, so.
Biology. I usually, somehow, always am the first one to come in the classroom for Biology, and it's fucking weird, or, "awkward," with just me and the teacher. More "awkward" when I'm seated at the front. I ask her how her break was, ya know. I don't know, I don't really do one-on-one talks with my teachers. Just wanna get in, do whatever there is to do, get out, do work at home, show up the next day. Anyways, we just worked on our new "BILL." Aka, Biology interactive learning log. Aka, notebook. Aka, semi-coloring book with doodles.
Math, was just math. We did change seats though, unfortunately, heh. I didn't like how it was literally, random. Like, in order from when we walk through the door. I'm now sitting next to this one girl who was in my 8th grade Social Studies class. Yeah, I know her. However, I am sitting in front of DrewN, who sits behind me.
Lunch, finally met up with the cast after the break, still same old, same old. US History, still the same seats, as expected. We just browsed the textbook, looking up dates for events during WW2. I actually read, heh, shit was interesting. Kinda weird how I actually like, literally, read the textbook word for word. On the important sections, of course.
Aaand Chinese. Yeah, new seats. Didn't really know what I was expecting when I picked a single-digit number. Got number 7, right next to this one girl whom Lt's cousin always talked to. And I'm also in front of Jk, who is next to this one girl. Alright, alright, let's see how the series continues.
Alrighty, 10:34 PM, thankfully, not much work, DUE TOMORROW. Friday? Next week? Yeah. But tomorrow, not really. So, just enough time to start farming Bloodgems in Chalice Dungeons. See ya.

Songs to Remember: Sweet Illusion - Every Single Day
Fuck man, ya see, I typed 2015 instead of 2016 and looked back at my post from yesterday. Yep, wrote 2015 for that one too.
Alright, well today's been very relaxing, the last bit I'll get for a long time. Why? It's 'cause by the end of this month, I gotta perform and practice in KDT. That means staying after school for that extra 2 hours, I gotta do that twice this week, Monday and Friday. didn't learn about it 'till yesterday. I was like "You fucking serious, the first day we get back from break, can't even get a warmup day."
Other than that, uh, oh yeah, finally checked my full SAT score. Looking through the sections, I didn't do too bad, pretty good actually. Except for the uh,passage reading part, got kinda shit for that, and for good reasons too, okay. Like, how am I supposed to know what Reagon's thoughts were when discussing kitchen appliances with Putin. Get the fuck outta here.
As for grades, yes, they were finally updated. B, B+, C-, A-, A in that order. Not bad, but cutting it fucking close with that C-, heh. Holy, I got a 41/57, which was probably curved because I'm sure most people did shit on the test. If not, then I got lucky as hell 'cause I didn't study, heh. Umm, other than that, not bad, I'll take it. But damn, 71.5% though for Bio, way too close.
Other than grades, uhh, I just played Bloodborne with my cousin, we co-oped a lot of the game actually, steamrolled through 3 bosses, mostly 'cause I was over-leveled when it came to Vicar Amylia, Blood-starved Beast, and the Hemwick Witch. Umm, Lt messaged me again, finally, today. Some time during Christmas break, she told me how she got an embarrassing present from her cousin. I asked her what it was and she didn't want to tell me 'cause she didn't want to "ruin that innocent mind" of mine's.
Uh huh. I told her that I'd tell her what I got if she told me. After 24 hours, she messaged me asking if there was any English work and what I got, proposing "Giftcards? Condom? A girlfriend, perhaps?" Like, what the FUCK? I mean we're friends but I don't think we're that THAT close yet. She's just lucky that it's me and not somebody else, otherwise, they'd be fucking offended to hell or just plain weirded out.
I don't even know what she's hinting here, I mean it was a pretty bold uh, joking-ish, statement. Before I talked to Lt, I thought she'd be like other girls I see. No, no, she's clearly different. Going out of my way to make contact with her, still not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing. But anyways, it's 10:35 PM, gonna head to bed and watch Gamegrumps 'till I get sleepy. See ya.

Songs to Remember: Jealous Magnets (Disclosure ft. Lorde // Nick Jonas) - The White Panda
I did not play Bloodborne all day actually. I stopped after getting killed over and over again by a stupid fake staircase and enemy-filled maze rooms. Gonna attempt to go back on tomorrow morning when I get the urge to.
Oh yeah, I was gonna talk about how I'm just relaxing for now, as much as I can before the rapture begins again on Monday, but I just remembered that I had a fucking amazing dream last night. I only remember specific parts of it all, mainly me looking like Anakin Skywalker and killing Count Dooku with a "constructed" caged lightsaber. I was also trying to hide 2 droids with Rei and Mace Windu. I was also in a room after the Ludwig bossfight, filled with lots of bath and bodyworks stuff, along with a multitude of hair dye so I can disguise myself from the Empire. Fucking amazing dream.
Anyways, uhhh, just gonna relax some more in bed, it's 11:27 PM and uh, yeah, see ya, skyped with my cousin all day, see ya.

It's gonna be a fun time writing 15 instead of 16 for the dates on my papers and then having to erase them.
Well, uh, it's January 1st. It's also very cold, 44 degrees Fahrenheit, gonna be even colder in the morning. My day consisted of sitting in a bus for 6 hours, nothing much else to say, dad drove me and my mom home, unpacked shit, plugged my PC and PS4 back with all the wiring, had lunch and a late dinner. And played some more Bloodborne where I proceeded to kill Ludwig (Valtr summon was amazing). What more can I say?
And as for future reference, I currently like Bloodborne, Fallout, Star Wars, and some other games and shit. This is for when I'm like "Hmm, wonder what 17 year-old me liked." Well, here you go, future me. This one's for you. Anyways, it's only 11:22 PM, but I'm really tired, so see ya.

Songs to Remember:
It's about time I started typing up something for the New Year's post. And well, here it is. I'm sitting here in front of my PC, eating Pocky, bootleg rectangular Choco Pies. and Guava candy.
You know with all these snacks I had for this past week, you'd think I'd have like movie marathons or catch up on Running Man. Nope, instead I just had the Gamegrumps' Bloodborne playthrough playlist on autoplay 'till I fell asleep. It was (and kinda still is) probably my addiction to Bloodborne. Now that I think about the game, I probably could've just went with like an hour or 2 hours a day so I can have it last longer 'till Dark Souls 3. I think I'm about 70% done with the game (in terms of bosses).
So. My real day consisted of me waking up, going downstairs with my PC and playing Bloodborne 'till it was time for breakfast, around 12:00 PM, then continue playing 'till it was lunchtime, Continue playing some more, shower around 6:00 PM, play some more 'till it was dinner time, get in the last few minutes 'till everybody was basically in their bedrooms, like 8;30 PM, call it quits for the day, go on my PC in this room 'till, 1:00 AM or something.
Did it for like, 5 days straight or something. Anyways, now is the time to talk about New Year's again and shit. Umm, ya know, it's a new year, it's gonna be a couple days of celebration and then people don't mind it ever again 'till, 364 days later. I don't wanna be so pessimistic all the time but, shit, all the hype today and tomorrow, and then we all forget it as we're writing an essay or going to work. You get what I mean?
And it's different than other holidays 'cause this one's about the upcoming events and episodes over a period of time. Christmas or Halloween, they just worry about a single day. Days. Christmas is a bit on the iffy side but, ya know. I'm just trying to express my feelings, right now, thinking about New Year's, into words, so when I read this later I can be like "Oh, so that's how I felt at the time."
And so, thar's, pretty much what I can say for right now. Uh, I looked at the cast group chat for once,apparently Ag's back, and it was 660 messages. I'll have to wake up pretty early in the morning, gotta pack my shit, finish up all this food, and get the rest of my sleep on the fucking bus. Alrighty, see ya.
