Oooo... Have discovered Live365. Must listen. Must download "Last Impression" from Gundam Wing. Who needs food? Sleep is overrated. ^_^

Aww...kawaii. Temporary Hallowe'en template at usr/girl/punkin, formerly known as usr/bin/girl. Go check it out. And speaking of Hallowe'en, the school had the annual pumpkin carving contest today. Ours (grads) was a pumpkin....barfing into a toilet. Hmm... not very cheerful.

Perhaps a lamp. I have about 8 hours to decide what to dress up as for tomorrow. I would just go in grubs, but The Almighty Girv might make me change into my uniform, because I wouldn't really be dressed up as anything. Must think...

Ah...the bliss that is a pop-up ad free webpage. I can't wait for digitalrice to go back up again. The geocities ad, though small, is irritating. And the big camera ad always, always, always comes up. Argh! New template would be done by now, if I could only find a good picture for the title. Ah well.

Found! If you haven't watched Finding Forrester yet...well, watch it. It's good. I really like Sean Connery's apartment in the movie. ^_^ Very cosey.

I AM 35% GEEK.

"I probably work in computers, or a history deptartment at a college. I never really fit in with the "normal" crowd. But I have friends, and this is a good thing. Take the GEEK Test at Fuali.com!"

Actually, I'm still in high school and don't work yet, but the rest of it is true...

The following is an excerpt from an editorial letter from The Toronto Star. Cannot even describe how much this, well, annoys me (it angered me too, but I waited until I calmed down a bit until I wrote this). Basically, the newspaper published photographs of young children who were injured in the U.S. bombing of Afghanistan on the front page yesterday. Today, some numbnuts wrote the following which was published in the 'letters to the editor' section.

"What are you trying to do — shore up sympathy for those people over there in that country? Are you trying to put those Afghan civilians in the same category as the victims of the senseless violence of Sept. 11? That's ludicrous. Those kids are probably going to grow up to be so many more terrorist, fundamentalist extremists anyway, better to do away with 'em now. If we start sympathizing with those people then where would that leave us? ..... Might is right, and if the U.S. of A. says we should bomb 'em, then we should. This is no time for dissent and so-called "critical thinking," we're trying to protect our democracy.

Right. So as a Chinese Canadian teenager living in the city of Toronto, I will most definitely grow up to be a drug addict? Or a loud, rude Chinese woman, who spits on the floor and picks her teeth on the bus? Or maybe I will become a "fundamentalist, extremist" Protestant. Gotcha. I guess I can forget my plans for university. Heck, I might as well even quit high school. Why bother? "Better to do away with 'em now", right? (end sarcasm here).

Honestly, it boggles the mind. I can't believe that anyone could write such a callous, unfeeling... ignorant letter. But now that I think about it, there are probably more letters like that, since the Toronto Star only published one. Now that's a little scary.

w00t~! 500 hits. Whoop dee doo.

Grad Photos. Today. Am red and frizzy (and blotchy). Oh well. It's not like I'll look any better if I re-schedule for tomorrow. I don't care about my picture, as long as I can get one from all my friends.

Hee hee hee.

Skkkknnnxxx... *sound of Dagwood snoring*. I guess it's a good thing that that was my first dance. If I had gone to all the other ones, I would have been bored out of my mind. Music was mainly hip hop or dance, both of which I can only take in small doses. Although there was a period when the DJ played spiffy late 80's/early 90's songs: Vanilla Ice ^_^, Cindy Lauper, Blur, etc.

It was fun seeing all the grads dressed up as "rock" stars (actually mostly pop stars). Heggs, (my fellow Horrible Music Basher), Alli and Kathleen were Josie and the Pussycats. Monique, Ainsle and Anya dressed up as three, uh, hoes, minus a pimp, (there to service the stars, of course). I wore my Bon Jovi bandana (just to show people some real rock stars ^_^), but it was eventually decided that I was groupie/rabid fangirl. But the best dressed girls were, hands down, the two 80's groupies, complete with layers of tights and flouncy clothing, big hoop earrings, garish blue/green make-up and funky hair. I'm not even going to mention what some of the grade 9's wore (mostly painted on by the looks of it).

Rock star. SCS dance tomorrow (theme: Rock Star). I promised my friends that I would go this year, but I'm not sure it's worth the $10 ticket. I don't enjoy dancing, I won't know half the people there, and the music probably won't really appeal to me either. Plus it means I'll have to skip Agape for the fourth time in six weeks.

Happy 75th Birthday Pooh! Or, "HIPY PAPY BTHUTHDTH THUTHDA BTHUTHDY!" To Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Rabbit, Owl (WOL), Eeyore, Kanga, Roo, Trespassers Will and Poohsticks. I found a great Pooh site while looking for piccies: Just Pooh. Or click on the image below (incidentally, from just-pooh.com as well ^_^).

Thank you BlogBack. ^_^ Spiffy. Still playing with the colours (which doesn't seem to want to change to blue...). Heh, I know no really reads this, but it's my journal and I've always wanted a cool comment function. Whoop!

Ahahaha... Data? At least he didn't get The Iron Giant (A Big Hunk Of Metal Love). It just doesn't sound right for a girl.

Oh, and here's a spiffy entry by Wil about some of his experiences with TNG: Life in the so-called Space Age.

Asian Barbie?. Link from aiyah.net. Here's what Winne, (a.k.a. Aiyah-chick) has to say:

"I actually have a few more ideas for them. I think there should be a mahjong doll with three other cohorts to round out a full table of mahjong players. They can have little mj tiles in a mj case and small chips as money to use. It should naturally come with the table with a smooth top so that the tiles can flow on top of it. The dolls should come squeak out "pong!" and other mj exclamations when squeezed. And don't forget the servant doll who should fetch them tea and snacks while they're playing."

Heh. How about a little sister version (like Skipper and Barbie) named Ming? Two acre bangs, lop-sided pigtails, a piano/viola music book in one hand, and a science textbook in the other?"

Grr...arrr..Part II. My headache is back with a vengeance. Welp, I'm going home to rub my head and work on the CLementimes until my eyes fall out.

Can't talk. Watching Survivor. Should eat. Oh well.

Grr...arrr... Imagine the monster guy at the end of Buffy. I come to school this morning and it's full of-- of-- people! In weird uniforms! And funny looking boys in kilts! SCS had the Prefect Breakfast this morning. Not only is the school filled with people (who are probably laughing at our carpeted gym or pink lockers), the lunchroom is filled with delicious, forbidden food! Grr...arr...

My Theme Song: Walking On Sunshine

"Your upbeat approach to life makes "Walking on Sunshine" the perfect anthem for you. We can see you dancing down the vegetable isle with your grocery cart, smiling at all the checkout clerks. We sure hope you've had your Wheaties to keep up with your perky pace all day long. This happy, horn-driven tune carries you to work every day. And even in those brief lapses when you're not fully on your game, "Walking On Sunshine" seems to put things in perspective and get you back to your super groove. "And don't it feel good?" Who cares that this tune was a one-hit wonder for Katrina and the Waves? Even that quality matches your one-of-a-kindness. You're walkin' on sunshine and spreading it wherever you go."

There's a profile of Utada Hikaru at Time "music goes global" (wasn't it always global?) section: Diva On Campus. It's funny how they compare her to Britney Spears (around the same age, bothe huge stars)... but I don't think Britney is considering neuroscience as her future career area.

An article about cantopop as well: Cantopop Kingdom. Andy Lau is 40?!

Shiny... Yearbooks last friday! After slaving over the grad section last year, I couldn't wait to see it. Shiny new plexiglass covers. Surprisingly, I was in quite a few pictures. Huh. And as usual, I look like a troll in most of them. :)

A Child's Mind
A little boy was in a relative's wedding. As he was coming down the aisle he would take two steps, stop, and turn to the crowd (alternating between bride's side and groom's side). While facing the crowd, he would put his hands up like claws and roar loudly.

So it went, step, step, ROAR, step, step, ROAR all the way down the aisle. As you can imagine, the crowd was near tears from laughing so hard by the time he reached the front. The little boy, however, was getting more and more distressed from all the laughing, and was near tears by the time he reached the pulpit. When asked what he was doing, the child sniffed and said, "I was just being the Ring Bear!"

Dooom...DOOOOOM! School tomorrow. And yes, today is Thanksgiving. Whoop-dee-doo. (Psst: in Canada, turkey day is about two months earlier than in the U.S. As it well should be ^_^).

New Comic! Well, not really new, but I forgot to check it all summer. As If.

t says: YAY we get yearbooks tomorrow! they are the best! I secretly wish that it won't rain (but it will) so i can skip field day and laugh at everyone else!! ahahahah!! you know, i don't even own any green cuz i look horrible in it!!! so what good is it dressing like the lucky charms guy!!! oh you know who that reminds me of? that guy in austin powers!! i don't remember his name though...

Umm...Riiiiight... (Yes, I mock thee!)

Mmmm... Dinner... Forget homework!

No QuizNet today. Too sick to go. Or at least, feeling to much like roadkill to go. I guess they'll have to find another typist.

Owwwiee... I've had a constant headache for the past two days. It doesn't help that this week is chock ful of tests and assignments. I mentioned it to Ming and she told me about a new virus related to meningitis that causes headaches. Great... I'll go off and be paranoid and neurotic for a couple of days now.

Calculus. Is. Evil. Eeeeeviiiiiil....

Just so you know... The current episode of Megatokyo is hilarious! Just looking at the first and last panels wil make you laugh your head off.

Pretty wedding. Flowers, lace, more flowers, more lace. My cousin looked so happy (see: grin plastered on face). Looooooong dinner. Around 4 hours (gak!). My brother caught the garter belt (Ha!). I froze to death (air conditioning in October is pointless). Mmmm... good food. Sorry if this all seems a little unemotional. The last time I had a conversation with my cousin was three years ago, about Terry Brooks books and Star Trek.

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! I think it's today. Go look at the moon and you'll be, like, "Wooo...it's BIG...!" Said that to my friend and she gave me a funny look. Feh. I heard that in Chinatown, there'll be a 2000 lb mooncake. Hee hee hee... FEED ME!
