I'm tired but I don't think I can fall asleep.

Last night I stayed up until 11:30 reading. It doesn't seem that late but it takes me a while to fall asleep so I might've gotten about six hours of sleep.

I had immense trouble functioning today. When people were talking in the morning... I couldn't understand the ENGLISH. Serious problem?

Cici, who didn't feel like looking at the camera.


Romeo again, but with flash on. I hope I didn't blind him...


We went downtown for Mother's Day, at least for lunch. They were fixing something up.

It seemed like there were no people there, which was kind of weird.

There was a church and we saw these priest guys coming over to the entrance.

My mom: "Look, it's a pope! Oh wait."

Alice called me and said she'd be out of the hospital like, tomorrow. But she can't come to school for another week or so. :|

Finished my Mother's Day card. (Should've done it yesterday, I know)

----------

The front has a bunch of random flowers on it.

Inside reads:

I didn't know what to put on the outside so I figured I'd just draw a bunch of flowers and hope for the best.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Thank you for everything you do, Mom.

Yup. Now I gotta get dressed because we're going out to eat.

I'm working on several different projects at the moment.

-Read my entire History textbook/"study" for SAT II Subject Test
-Finish History project (slideshow)
-Write MG Goldfrapp review
-Finish final project for MG, soundtrack to my life
-Work on French project due May 13
->Read story
->Fill out questions
->Draw comic strip summary
-Come up with something for Praetorian with brighter colors

At my current rate it should probably take a little more than ten days to read my whole textbook. :/ So much for doing it over the weekend... I gotta remember all this crap, too.

The layout idea/banner for Praetorian is probably the easiest thing to do at the moment, but for some reason I don't feel like really working on that. I just can't motivate myself...

I absolutely have to finish the slideshow by Monday.

The French project is second priority after that.

Music Genesis stuff can be delayed a little further.

Tireddddddddddddddd.

That's pretty much how I'm going to study for the SAT II. At least, the US History part. Like I need to study for the Literature part?

So I haven't started that yet... I was planning to do this over the weekend but I got sidetracked. So I'll probably just read the horrible text I dislike and try to make it interesting so I remember all of it.

Like that's going to happen. I hate History.

I went to visit Alice today. My mom stayed in the room with us while we talked... :S I was wondering if I should've brought her something, because everyone else seemed to have gotten her a present or gift. I always figured those things were for celebrations though, and this doesn't seem like something you celebrate.

She has very little respect for doctors. :| Personally I'm more of a don't-question-the-professionals type person, but she's a bit stubborn. Most of the time I was there she was talking about the food they feed her and how she doesn't like it... and then she was complaining about the people there.

They won't let her out until her vital signs are better. And who KNOWS how long that'll be?

-Sigh-

There are a lot of vending machines in that hospital for some reason. And there was this strange sign on the door...


Leninade!

We went to Nob Hill (which looks strangely like Whole Foods) and they had some yummy sodas.

I got a Raspberry Lime Rickey! :D

It has this awesome cotton candy aftertaste thing going on. Best soda everrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Only problem is that now I want another one. :|

The Whole Foods atmosphere confused me and I started looking for cheese Nut Thins, only to be sorely disappointed. Better Crocker products lined the shelves, out of their traditional environment.

The big generic brands are supposed to live in supermarkets that look like sterile 60's hospitals, not earth-tone organic-feel grocery stores.

Blah.

I was walking to Math this morning and some senior guys (all asian) were walking in front of me. Well, I started to move around them and then one of them pushed another, who ran into me and stomped on my foot. And I gave the customary cry of pain/shock. Well, the guys just kept walking on and laughing.

Normally this wouldn't be a big deal for me, but my foot hurt like HELL after that stupid guy crushed my toes and I had to limp around for a little while. And maybe I'm just in a bad mood right now, I don't know.

Asian guys are so rude here. If they bump you while walking past, they'll either just keep going and not even acknowledge that they've made a small disturbance, or they'll glare at you like it was YOUR fault and what are YOU doing walking ANYWHERE because obviously you haven't got shit for brains and you should just KILL yourself because you got a B in such and such class and aren't worth their valuable time.

I hate them. People often ask me why I've got such an aversion to them. Well that's it. Not including the fact that a good portion of them seem to have little to no hygiene and are breathing just so they can study for AP Bio or Calc and go to Stanford and sit at a computer letting their braincells slowly die and marry some poor not-so-great-with-hygiene girl and breed more of their kind.

Ugh.

I think I shall visit Alice on Friday...

This is shockingly funny.

Machine by the Violent Femmes sounds oddly relaxing to me.

Yes, there was some delay in getting these up. But they're here now, so, unless Nutang has some horrible inexplicable downtime, they are here for your viewing (dis)pleasure.

It's the offset pineapple.

I swear, it's like... the Mystery Spot only with fruit.

There was a dead dove outside on the patio that I had to bury...

Maybe it's gross and I know it's unsanitary but I just had to touch the feathers to see what they felt like. I mean, I'll probably never have another chance to... "pet" a dove. Sadly though, it wasn't that soft or fluffy. Perhaps rigor mortis set in on the feathers, too.

I was trying to draw what I've dubbed the "sexy eyebrow."

Dunno why but I have a weird thing for drawing eyes. Although I've probably mentioned that here before...

Marina made a face with the half-Cheerios.

It has one ear because apparently there wasn't another one we could use for the other ear.

We went to a dessert silent auction around Santa Cruz and there was this sign.

I read it and couldn't keep myself from bursting out laughing. Wording, people, watch your wording.

Today wasn't too bad. Alice wasn't here because she has... health problems. I'm thinking about going to visit her but I haven't got a set date yet.

In Lit. over half the class was missing because of AP testing so we just watched a movie. Then we had twenty minutes of free time to do whatever. I talked with Laura and AJ for a while, then Laura and I were discussing our jean sizes and how we have fat hips and such and AJ just had this embarrassed look on his face... It was funny. We were laughing at him and he was like "I'm just ignoring it..." but I said "Nah, he's listening, he just doesn't want to comment."

So yeah, nothing really exciting today. Oh, but I got a cherry limeade lollipop that was pretty good. Yeah...

Laugh...zors

I found this on adreen 's page and it's keeping me amused for now.
