☼ Find Me, Fix Me

 Random title, I know, but at least it's creative. Better than "Monday, March 30, 2009," which is what I probably would have put. But it's good to get creative once in a while, even if it's not that creative...

Last Saturday, this lady that came to our house party/gathering thing gave us four cartons of Taiwanese crackers. So random, I know. The cookies are in these things that look like a bigger-by-a-lot version of milk cartons...and there's so many of them..."Them" as in cookies. Maybe the correct terminology would be "crackers"...I don't really know...

Anyways, there are two cartons of almond-flavored cookie-crackers, a tea-flavored one, and a black sesame one...The almond ones are so addictive. I don't even know why...I could probably eat two packs (there are packs inside the carton) in one sitting. And there are at least ten in each pack. Granted, they're not that big (smaller than a pack of cards surface-area-wise), but I'd probably get really fat off it. Come to think of it, I don't think I've read the nutrition facts/label -_-" I should probably check sometime soon.

Speaking of nutrition facts, we're currently on our nutrition chapter/unit in health. Calories, proteins, carbs, fats, and the like. The new food pyramid. Which, by the way, you can find at http://mypyramid.gov/

Today in health class (which is first hour blocked, though today it wasn't since it was an A day), my teacher, Ms. Spencer, was trying to give a powerpoint/lesson when we found ourselves very sidetracked and searching pictures of "the tree man" and "mermaid girl" on Google images. Weird I know. You should search it. It's quite disgusting. The "tree man" is so-called since his skin cells reproduce very very quickly and are hardened, having the appearance of bark, like one would see on a tree. The skin cells are supposedly super-regenerative, so if it were to be cut off, it'd probably grow back pretty soon. And "mermaid girl" is basically a young girl (like a toddler) who's legs are connected in such a way that it looks like a mermaid's tail. Yeah, you could say that we weren't very productive in that class.

Now that we're/I'm on the topic of school, second hour was also pretty blow-off also. Second hour, by the way, is Chemistry. Overall just a blow-off class. I never study for it, and I always forget to do the homework, so I end up doing it on the bus/before school starts. Yeah, stupid me. Oh well, I was in the top five in grade for all the honors chemistry classes she teaches. ANyways, today we played a review game, in which my team (consisting of nancy, carter, and I) hadn't gotten a single question wrong. But apparently we did, somehow, when Ms. Gable tallied up the scores...oh well, it's just one less point of extra credit.

And Nancy had an interesting casting for a remake of a drama called "Hana Kimi" (spelling error probably), which, I'm guessing, is Japanese...I've never seen it before though. Nancy is someone named Mitzuki. I'm this one guy (yes, a dude) who apparently can see spirits and whenever he talks/prophesies, everyones starts freaking out? lol I don't really know. It's not supposed to be a bad role though, according to Nancy. And she was thinking of putting Allen as a character that is the younger brother of Eric's character. I forgot what the names of their characters are though. But Eric's character is aparently very Eric-like at the beginning of the series/drama but then opens up, blossoms (which is what "Hana Kimi" is supposed to mean) in the end, and ends up with Mitzuki. According to Nancy, Angie and Jennifer had started doing the castings, but she started doing it after...or something like that. Funny thing is, Jennifer is the only white person on the casting. And Shareen is supposedly casted as this really preppy/catty girl with like a posse. Someting like that lol.

Third hour, which is language arts, was also uneventful. We turned in our research papers, which I just know I EPIC FAILED. And then ate and hung out. Except for me. I just did my math homework/review packet since I didn't do it at home. lol

Lunch...eh...same as always.

Fourth hour, which is orchestra, something weird happened. Except I wasn't paying attention, so I had no clue what was going on. Oh well, I usually prefer my heads up in the clouds than up in people's faces. I amost fell asleep in that class though. lol the cellos. and I hate it when people don't play their accidentals.

Fifth hour....ap euro...talked about reading, basically. Dadaism. lol such a funny word and concept. I don't think I'll ever understand modern art. I mean, I can somewhat adequately grasp the individual concepts of surrealism, cubism, dadaism, and impressionism, but it seems like there are no rules at all (which there probably isn't). Maybe it's just me, but even if everything can be art in the eyes of some, I can never see a canvas with one solid color on it as art. If you want to read more about my view on this (art), there's a whole paragraph on it on facebook notes. The (really really long) one with the twenty-five random facts.

 

Sixth hour. Spanish II. Wow. Weird. All I have to say.

Actually, no, I have more to say about that. I was sent to the guidance office, since my counselor (Smith) wanted to see me for something. I thought it was kind of weird, but hey, I got to get out of a uber boring class (seriously, I could shoot my head off in that class and still manage to be bored). Okay, so I get there, and Mr. Smith, my counselor tells me to sign in. After that, we walk to his office, and I see Ms. Parish and Ms. Kemp there. And what did they (mostly my counselor) want to talk about? My quietness. Or shyness. Whatever. I was like noooo...wtf is this...Apparently, my mother had told my counselor how she was worried that I was too quiet (which is quite annoying - she even asked to see if my teachers could make me stand in front of the class to answer questions. FML) and then my counselor, in turn, contacted every single one of my teachers to ask what they thought of my "quietness." By then, I was thinking still thinking wtf....Unfortunately, they probably think there's something wrong with me now, since I idn't really say much. They don't seem to believe that I choose to be quiet. I choose not get too involved with other people, whether it's in a school/classroom environment or in a social environment. More so in a social environment, but still, I like to keep to myself most times. Sometimes it's good to be reserved. And sometimes I feel loneliness is a wonderful thing. Peace. Quiet. Gives time for (self-)reflection. But of course, often times, too much of one thing is not very beneficial. I also realized how many times my counselo said "at that point." It was somewhat fascinating that he said it with absolutely anything. For example, "you can eat an orange, at that point..." he didn't really say that, but it was pretty annoying.

After that interesting little "meeting," I went with Ms. Parish to her office to get a list of summer learning activities and other summer programs.

Interesting experience....I guess at least I got out of doing really boring crap in Spanish.

Seventh hour, which is pre-calc, was also pretty lax, since we had a super easy quiz/test.

I didn't have any homework tonight :)

I know, you're all thinking "you're so freaking lucky!!!"

I actually have to finish up notes for ap euro, since I didn't finish it yesterday...Since I was retarded and wasted my time watching Extreme Makeover Home Edition.

After dinner today, I watched Dancing With the Stars. Man, that old guy needs to go. I know it sounds mean, but he got a 10 last time. In all. Which is quite sad. Yet he didn't get eliminated because of fans' votes! He got like a 12 in all this time....

Oh, and to explain the "Karoshi" part of the title..."Karoshi" apparently means "death by overwork," which is rather ironic for me today, since today was really chill for me. (Yeah, I know, be jealous ;D jk). And there's a game on MindJolt (which is an application on facebook lol) called "Karoshi: Suicide Businessman" or something along those lines. ANd the objective of the game is to kill yoursel. There are 50 levels, with a "boss" at the end. I beat the game twice already. Without any help. Without cheats/cheating. I'm proud of myself. I'm an expert suicide-r! lol

Yet I'm rather sure that if I die, it'd probably be karoshi.
