Crazy Thoughts

Mood: Not Sure
Playing: Take Me Away-Chase Coy
Today, during 5th period, we were taken out of the media center and sat in the quad. There was an announcement that anyone who had a sixth period class on the first floor of building J had to meet in the quad. My next class was lacrosse practice and we store our stuff in a teacher's room in the J building. I figured since my class wasn't really in the J building, we just stored our stuff in there, that I should just walk over there. Turns out no one was allowed in and lacrosse practice was canceled. We were all wondering what happened in the J building and we came up with thoughts like fire, student break down, flood, and structural problems. Turns out, one of our English teachers had a heart attack and died. I just find it so crazy and weird how you can wake up fine one day and feel perfectly healthy, but then you end up dieing that day. It's just so weird and I just don't feel like it was right. He was actually fairly young. He was only 46 and he died of a heart attack. It's crazy isn't it? Our school is actually offering counseling for anybody who was especially close to him, in case they need help. I also wonder what the students' reactions were, when they found him dead...I just want to send out my best wishes to his family and friends.
On a topic that fits my blog's personality better.
I was going to buy tickets today, but I learned it was sold out already. What? Sold out after only one day? That's crazy, but I'm glad that Andrew is doing well.
I learned about this today and I really wanted to go for both Andrew McMahon and Grill Em All, but then I realized that it passed! I really need to get back into the habit of checking the Jack's Mannequin website every single day...

Scott Pilgrim and Tons of Desserts

Mood: Relieved
Playing: Nothing Currently
Yesterday, I went to go see Scott Pilgrim VS the World with Alexandra, Rebecca, and Rebecca's friend, Erica. This was my first time meeting Erica and Alexandra met Erica and Rebecca for the first time too! Our group worked out surprisingly well. We started off the day with lunch and Pinkberry! We got an extra large plain yogurt with milk chocolate shavings, chocolate chips, raspberries, and strawberries to share! Here are some pictures of it.
Doesn't it look super yummy? The plain yogurt had a lemon-y flavor to it, which tasted surprisingly good! We sampled all the flavors and none of them had much flavor, so we got plain, since it was the cheapest.
We were running out of time and we still had like half the container left. We grabbed a top for it and shoved it into Rebecca's purse, that way we could bring it into the theater. Since we were sitting in a row of four, we put half the yogurt in the top, so it would be easier to share.
Look at the theater! It's so empty! We were the only ones in the theater for awhile, but then five other people joined us. I thought Scott Pilgrim was supposed to be super popular. This was my first Michael Cera movie and I really liked him. He was so awkward that it was funny.
Later on, Alexandra told me how she had never had a funnel cake before, so Erica bought one for Alexandra, Erica, and me to eat. Alexandra chose raspberry topping. Turns out she love raspberries. We almost got a caramel apple to share that day, but we decided we had enough desserts for the moment...
By the way, Drop Dead Cute is having a super cute giveaway and I think you should go and enter. I'm not sure whether you have to be a follower or not...

Gifts From Friends (Is This Considered a Haul?)

Mood: Calm
Playing: Swim-Jack's Mannequin
Lately, I have been listening to a lot more Andrew McMahon music to prepare myself for my speech! That means I'm listening to strictly Andrew music and nothing else! Anyways, over summer my friends visited all these different countries and they all brought me back cool stuff. This summer I didn't go anywhere, which is weird, because my family goes to a foreign country every year. This summer we couldn't though because of visiting family, lacrosse camp, and my brother leaving for college with Rip Rip. I just wanted to show you all the cool stuff my friends gave ma and I was wondering, is this considered a haul? Hauls are usually things you bought yourself, but these were gifts. Comment on this post on whether or not you think this is a haul, please!
Rebecca brought back things I've been wanting for a long time from her trip to Taiwan! She always knows what I like, it seems. I love Hi-Chew and she brought me back five flavors I've never seen before! She got the Pudding one for me because my nickname is Pudding or Pudding Head. I was actually planning on calling my blog Pudding Head, but then I realized the people at school would tease me for it. Rebecca also brought back a name stamp for me with Hello Kitty on it because I love Hello Kitty(No surprise, hkittygirl!) I've been looking for some bows to replace the Hot Topic ones I bought, so I was so happy when Rebecca brought back these ones! It'll help put some color into my wardrobe! I also love how she brought back a button for me. I love buttons, but I can't leave them on my backpack because they either fall off or get stolen.
Tina brought back this cute hair thing I've been wanting for awhile. She told me they were only $1 in Japan, while in the USA, they cost $8 and they're not even half as fluffy...She also got me a cute flan cell phone charm with a Korilakkuma on it. I've been wanting a flan plushie for so long, so I'm so glad she brought this back for me from Japan.
Clare knows how I love candy, especially foreign candy. I have a bad sweet tooth, which I either got from Madeline or my dad...It's really tasty! It has like a nutty honey middle and a fluffy outside. The inside is so chewy and I really like it. She got it while visiting family in the Philippines.
Marika went on a trip to Japan too and she meant to get me stickers, but she forgot. She felt bad, so she got me stickers from a local San-X store. I told her not to worry, but she still got them for me! I love how the Japanese in general are always so helpful, sweet, and so polite! Unlike, other people...
Tiffany got me so much cute stuff! She got me three pens, two hair things, and a super pretty cell phone charm. I can't tell whether the stuff is from China or Taiwan. She didn't tell me. So far, I'm guessing she got it for me at the Night Market in Taiwan, which I really want to go to! I can't get myself to bring the pens to school because I'm afraid it might get stolen and I can't replace them. I find it absolutely horrid that I can't feel comfortable bringing things to school out of fear of getting it stolen. Oh yeah, Tina, Tiffany, and Rebecca all brought me cell phone charms back, but I didn't picture them here because you can see them at our Cell Phone Charm Exchange.

Edit-THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HELPING ME REACH 50 FOLLOWERS! That's beyond cool and amazing! I just want to thank you for everything!

Adventures, Drinks, and My Rambling! FUN STUFF HERE

Mood: Annoyed
Playing: Dark Blue-Jack's Mannequin
I don't really have anything to blog about at the moment because I haven't finished uploading and editing photos. I'm so lazy sometimes...I will get to it soon, I hope. I'm blogging right now because I know school is going to get busy and I won't have time to blog later on. I'm hoping that if I blog a lot now, you will forgive me for my lack of posts in the future. I'm really scared that I will have tons and tons of homework because I constantly hear about it from all the people older than me. I really want/need to make the lacrosse team. I want to make the lacrosse team because I have never done a team sport, or a sport, before in my life and it looks like tons of fun! I also need to make the team because I was walking around with a lacrosse stick for two days and tons of guys, who never really notice me, are all like, "Whoa! You play lacrosse? That's really cool!" That's such a lame reason, I know, but the real reason is, if I don't make the team, it will be beyond embarrassing for me...I hate being embarrassed and feeling stupid because I love the feeling of being on top of the world. I'm going to upload some photos I've been meaning to show you.
I took my frog, Mr. Pung from my trip to China, to Rodeo Drive with me on the day I performed for History Day. We ate at this expensive place, but the shrimp was so good! Imagine me taking Mr. Pung into high end stores like Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Dior, Burberry, Dolce&Gabbana, Ralph Lauren, etc. No one allowed me to take pictures of him in the stores. It kind of pissed me off because they say it's for "copyright issues," but it always feel like a "I DON'T LIKE THE LOOKS OF YOU" to me. I don't know, maybe it's just me!
I was playing around with my old American Girl doll clothing and I was dressing up Megumi in the clothing. The clothing is too long on Megumi and too tight around her chubby waist! This was the only dress that looked good on her. It makes her look so tall, doesn't it? She's wearing a dress from the Felicity/Elizabeth collection, which is ending soon. American Girl always gets rid of my favorite ones. They got rid of Samantha, who I thought had the most amazing dresses. These American Girl dolls from long ago have the most amazing clothing and I envy them...
This is a picture from summer time, when I went to this random Asian place. I got my favorite drink from them, Honeydew Milk. I want some so bad right now...I should go get some soon! I usually don't like honeydews...Are there any food you usually don't like, but you love it one way?
