  • Stop smiling

    It was Open House tonight at my school. While sitting outside the "art gallery" advertising, two policemen came by and told me to stop smiling. I know they were just kidding, but do I really smile that much nowadays?

    MacArthur, you're going dowwwwwn

  • Tagged

    I've been tagged, yo! This makes a nice blog filler =]

    Now I have to write 16 things about me. This feels a bit like MySpace.
    1. I love instant noodles and canned foods!!!!!!
    2. Ratatouille is my comfort movie.
    3. Dead spiders are more frightening to me than living ones.
    4. Sometimes I just sit and read parts of my thesaurus and/or dictionary.
    5. I have a weird addiction to scarves. SCAAAAARVES!
    6. I rarely drink water. Bad, I know =/
    7. There's a little thing called Satoyoshi's Syndrome going on for me. Number six probably has something to do with it.
    8. I can't stand the taste/smell of carrots and green beans cooked together.
    9. Baking is fun.
    10. I like when outfits are a little off but not tacky.
    11. I have three alarms to wake me up.
    12. I'm really a shy person, despite what my schoolmates say >_>
    13. The only Asian holiday I actually celebrate is Cambodian New Year.
    14. I've never been to a nail salon.
    15. I've never had a boyfriend.
    16. Aaaaaand...I always end up cutting my legs somehow, whenever I shave x[

    I have to tag 16 people? I'll be daring for once. I'm going to be a rebel and tag one person. lykezomg!!!11!!!1!1

  • Hurricane Ike

    Went out to buy a generator today and came home to find out electricity is back up...
    At least I'll be able to watch House tonight!
    Will update on everything later.
    Pictures and all

    OKAY!
    This has been on my mind for...ever since we had no electricity. Some people are making the situation here seem worse than what it really is. That sentence doesn't look/sound right (I've been a bit paranoid about what I type/write/say ever since Mrs. Roy became my English teacher. An awesome one, by the way ). I'm easily distracted.

    Here's what I wanted to say: People seem to be very reliant on electricity these days. If people here can't "live" without electricity, how would they cope in a less fortunate country? I've heard complaints of heat, in temperatures around 60°. Without air-conditioning, do people think it's warmer than it really is? If a cold front didn't come, would you have passed out from the "heat"?
    Instead of running around like headless chickens, everyone, I mean everyone, on our street has become...neighbors. Not the kind of neighbors that simply live next to each other, but real neighbors who even make breakfast for your three-year-old brother. I've seen these bonds that have formed on my street, and I hope that they stay.

    Just a few pictures...


    Our fence from the front yard


    Our fence from the backyard (not our house)


    At least the tree didn't fall on his house...


    water water water


    Hahaha


    "Water Volleyball"


    A romantic, candlelight dinner! Not really...

    No damage done to the house besides a few leaks in the ceiling.
    Today was spent getting a generator through a "connection". When we got home, the electricity was back up. Not long after, the power went back down for about two hours. During those two hours, my dad worked to get the generator working. The power decided to come back once the generator was finally set up. Hah. What frustrates me is that the power went out when House was playing! I didn't even get to see a little preview .

    My birthday was on Sunday. I guess you can say it was a birthday to remember .

  • Dear Abb- I mean, Julie

    Since when have I become a Magic-8-Ball?

    I've noticed that people are always coming to me for advice. Guh-wah?! Yep. Especially advice in relationships--a topic I know nothing about.

    Friend: "I like him, but I like him, too. What do you think I should do, lyke zomg?" (Ooh, that kinda rhymed!)
    Me: "Hey, have you seen that one movie where Jackie Chan was all like, HUZZAH?"
    Friend: "No."
    Me: "You should watch it sometime."

    I wish it would go something like that, but humans know when you're trying to change the subject.

    I'm there for a friend if they need someone waffles to talk to, but I'm not a Dear Abby column. I'll tell you what I think, but I won't tell you what to do.

    Another topic people come to me about is suicide! Blah! In those situations, I can do nothing but go Bible-y on them. Honestly, don't think about ending your life just because you went over your daily calorie intake by a few grams.

    A friend told me to not say anything. How could I not say anything if someone chose to talk to me in the first place? I just can't tell them to GTFO because I can't stand to see a friended go walking around miserable.

    I think I'll end this rant, now. I should go out and buy a real Magic-8-Ball.

    Friend: Does this outfit make me look fat?
    Me *shakes Magic-8-Ball*: Definitely

    Oy! I have a headache. The doctor told me to increase one of my medications, so if all this sounds foreign, lo siento! (A pun! Kind of...)


    Thanks a lot!
