about time for a post....methinks

I havn't updated xanga in such a long time, and now xanga's completely had a makeover, lol.

So, my birthday's coming up i sort of don't want to become a new number for age. I'm so used to being 17.

And, I was thinking what i really really wanted, and i believe it would be....a kotatsu. lol i told my parents that I wanted a kotatsu for my graduation present. They were like...wtf, you're so strange. But i suppose if i can actually locate one in the US, i could jus thave my parents pay for it. I just hope i won't have to ship it from japan cuz then it would be costly. lol so keep your eyes open. If you see a kotatsu lying around, GET IT FOR ME.

So, i'm back; and School's started

bah...i'm back from china. i had a fantabulous time, although, one scenario kept playing over and over again

it went something like this:

"wow, juliana is sooooo skinny!"

"and emily is skinny, too, but she's perfect, not too skinny"

"the oldest one is........not skinny"

AND all the clothes i tried on had to be XXL and they even have these 'asian sizes' where an XL would be the same as a S here....and the pants were so skinny!!

but aside from just how very fat i felt, i had a great time

anyhoo so school started, i'm very tired, and i havn't gotten used to the whole school-ness yet

i can't see to sleep at the right time, or stuff like that, i'm so out of it

My Daily Horoscope (for today):

Aquarius

January 20 - February 17

You have a much-deserved reputation as a social maverick, and it will come into play today, dear Aquarius. Tired of the world as it is and ready for change, others look to you for your intriguing vision of the future. Even if you often feel that you're wasting your breath, feel free to talk about your ideas today. Others will be excited by what they hear, and this will be exciting for you in turn.

i felt REEEEaLY stupid when i had to look up the word, 'maverick', haha maybe that's why my SAT verbal was so bad....

Summer's almost over. How to i know? stores have began their yearly campaign for school supplies already, AND ppl that live in the south are beginning to talk about going back to school. i'm so glad i don't live in the south, they start school WAY too early. i'll miss everyone....i swear :)

i am so excited for my china trip. this whole weekend we spent shopping, i think so far we've spent like 2K. what bugs me the most is that it's all 2K worth of stuff that isn't for me...haha julie's done packing already, and she walks around the house with her suitcase, which is like half the size of her. but on the other hand, i feel like such a bad person because i'm leaving before we finish :'(

yesterday we found a 3 inch cockroach, it was disgusting. he was named Egbert. we trapped him in a plastic box, but it was very scary cuz his monstrously long antennas kept poking out and we thought he was going to escape. the hideous thing was so creepy cuz it could understand human speech. damn english-speaking-growth-hormone-ingesting cockroaches

_____________________________________________________________

you know what bugs me? roadkill. i always get very depressed when i see one. no animal deserves to die that way, no matter how evil the squirrel was. (ps i just rewatched the new charlie and the chocolate factory, i think that movie proves my point that squirrels can be very vicious and evil...::meaningful look::)

_____________________________________________________________

you know what i love? birthdays. it's such a great day. birthdays are a celebration for ppl, it's like when a person wishes another 'happy birthday' ithey're saying, 'i'm glad you're around'. that's why i love birthdays, i feel like whenever i say 'happy birthday' to someone, i'm telling them how much i appreciate their being around and that i got to know that person. that's why i try to always remember ppl's birthdays, whenever i say 'happy birthday' to someone, i feel better about myself, and i hope that the birthday person feels happier about themselves as well

_____________________________________________________________

lol, i was thinking a lot about roadkill and birthdays on Sunday, mainly cuz recently so many ppl celebrated their birthdays, and i saw a road kill that day..

what i have just discovered: i love using these horizontal lines, hehehe

Summer Sux

*important*

i got a cell, call me cuz i'm bored

              lol so i have cingular and i have the cingular 'in' plan or whatever, only problem is, NO ONE HAS CINGULAR

*not important*

bah, i don't like this weather.

today was pretty eventful..not

i spilled ketchup all over myself, because that's what sammis do

ambushed stan who was obviously being 'the man', overlooking her kingdom of tiny lil azns

disappeared for an hour and had a deep convo regarding my 'not-normalness'

defended the cuteness of all that is BUBBLE (haha sometimes i just like saying the word 'bubble' it's such a CUTE word)

watched as one thing broke after the other (i didn't do anything i swear)

felt and acted like a hobo, a smelly, sweaty hobo

nearly fell asleep while sitting, VERY uncomfortable

i started to feel bad about something...then got annoyed at myself for starting to feel bad

wanted to wring murphy's neck, AP scores came out, and i feel that he caused an unnecesary amount of stress, and depression in me

and then, i realized, TODAY WAS SUCH A WASTE, i suddenly feel like jumping some fences
