So, today, Kim and I went to Wal-Mart.

On the way to my car, there's this employee collecting all the carts directly across from where my car is parked. Kim and I aren't talking but I have this feeling that we're both staring because the guy was GORGEOUS. Tall, short blond hair, skinny but still muscular, you know? So, without even looking at her (because I'm clearly still staring at him intently) I say, "Yeah. I see it, too."

So, we finally get to my car, and there's this cart next to it. I tell her to return it to him- yes, I return carts. I think everyone should- and we get in the car. So, I'm taking off my jacket before I drive because my car's AC doesn't work and still ogling him in the most obvious manner. So is Kim. The embarrassing part? He's checking us out, too! I made eye contact with him so many times! We sat in the car for a good 2 minutes before I even started my engine, and he would look at us every 15 seconds. Well, FINALLY, when I pulled out, I had to turn left but he was on my right. So, I'm pulling out and I crane my neck to the right to get a final glimpse of him- what normal girl wouldn't?- when I find he's already staring at Kim and me! Oh, dear lord. We looked away so quickly I think I got a whip-lash.

....and then we laughed so hard like the teenaged girls we are.

THANKSGIVING BREAK!!!

Today, Julie and I went Winter Clothes Shopping. I am SO ready for the cold... if, you know, San Diego ever decides to get cold. But, alas, it is still hot here. Observe.

Julie and I in Hollister.
Hollister guy: Are you looking for anything?
Me: Yes, actually. I'm looking for a sweater.
Hollister guy: We have lots of those. It's getting cold.
Me: Oh, yeah. Completely. It was like 80 degrees yesterday.

But, in the end, I bought 2 pairs of jeans, 2 sweaters, shirts, a pair of black Converses and a scarf.
:)

 And, on the way home, Julie and I were talking about what our cars' names. And, well, last week, Johnna named mine Alvin (from Alvin and the Chipmunks) because it's red. So, then Julie goes, "Oh, my car's named Theodore!"- she named her car months ago- "Now we need a Simon!" In the end, we called Kim and asked her if her car already had a name. It didn't, so we found our Simon.
:)

Quote of the Day
Talking on the phone with my dad.
Dad: Are you on the way home?
Me: Yeah, I just passed the house, but I need to drop Julie off at home.
Dad: Oh, okay. On the way home, stop by Burger King.
Me: Daddy, we don't have a Burger King around here.
Dad: Oh, uhh, go to Jack in the Box.
Me: And?
Dad: And get... pizza.
Me: You want me to get PIZZA at Jack in the Box?!?

That is a legit conversation. Julie was laughing so hard next to me.

The movie was better than I expected. Then again, I wasn't expecting much from this movie.

But, for the most part, I laughed. So much. I couldn't help BUT laugh. I mean, c'mon. The scene when Bella first walks into Biology and the fan is blowing her hair and Edward gets all wide-eyed and twitchy? How can anyone keep a straight face through that? He looked more comical than pained! OR, this line: It's called an adrenaline rush. You can google it.

Really?!?! Plus, the whole time, Edward looked as if he was constipated. And all that staring he did!! He still managed to look gorgeous. HOW DOES HE MANAGE THAT!?!?! This movie had it's moments, but I think it was because the scenes were completely irrelevant. It started off as a goofy, awkward movie and then BAM. The last 30 minutes are so dramatic. But overly so.

Ehhhhhhhh. I enjoyed it though.
:)

ALSO, I saw a clip of  the new HP trailer. And guess who I saw? TOM FELTON. He's still the love of my life. And he looks wayy more attractive this film around.
:)

So go watch the Cleveland Browns vs Buffalo Bills!
:)

Why do we need to do logrithims? Really. What purpose will that ever achieve? WHEN WILL WE USE THEM IN REAL LIFE?!? Never. We will always have a calculator or better yet, PLUG IT INTO A PROGRAM.

AHHHH. Today, I bombed my precalc test. And not "bombed" in a good way either. More in like a Oh-there-goes-my-grade way. I didn't do about 5 problems, and that enough it to get me a C... but what if I got other problems wrong, too, that I thought I did correct? I get a D.
:(

As if that wasn't bad enough, 6th period rolls around, and I get a D on my Christian and Byzantine art history test. Who's a failure? ME. My grade dropped 4 percent.
:(

ARGHHHHHHHHHH.

When it takes me 2 hours to read 24 pages of Islamic art for Art History class instead of one hour because I keep falling asleep.

I fell asleep so many times.
:(

Seriously.

So, after the chemistry lesson today, Ms. Markham made this slush thing that looked like snow out of ethanol alcohol and calcium sulfate, I think. She was showing Tommy, Max and Julie how, if you light it on fire, if stays ablaze and that it's commonly used in campfires. So, there was this huge graduated cylinder filled with this slush, and a metal scooper that she used to scoop out a small amount and place it on the concrete. (We were on a slope walkway outside.) So, she lights the small amount on fire, and it looks like snow on fire. Well, Ms. Markham leaves, so it's me, Tommy, Max and Julie outside, when Tommy goes, "Put some more on it!"

This is where the drama begins....

Julie grabs the metal scooper and tries to add more slush to the pile. Sadly, slush on the metal scooper catches on fire, and Julie, clearly not thinking straight OR AT ALL, gets this notion in her mind that if she places the metal scooper back inside the graduated cylinder full of the slush, it will extinguish the fire.

NOT.

The moment she does that, Max, Tommy and I are like, "Oh, shit! What did you just do?!!?" And, Julie- bless her- doesn't realize what she's done until our reaction.

THE WHOLE CYLINDER CATCHES ON FIRE. And, there was A LOT of the solution. We call for Ms. Markham, and she comes out. She tries to smother the fire in the cylinder by turning it over, but it doesn't work because the cylinder erupts into BIGGER flames. Instead, all the slush was dumped on the concrete. And the thing is, the reason why this was so NOT GOOD, is because it was an alcohol fire, which can't be put out by water and Ms. Markham didn't want to use the fire extinguisher for this.

It was put out in the end, but seriously, it was really fun, if not really dangerous.
:)

Quote of the Day.
*After seeing two bees flying near each other.*

Me: Hey, do bees have sex?
Allison: Of course they have sex! All animals have sex. Well, except maybe fish.
Me: Are you sure? What if they sting each other? 
Julie: Wait... There are queen bees! She makes all the babies.
Me: How? Is it like a different species? How do you have a queen bee?
Allison: Well, all the bees are born, and one is born massively huge and has ovaries!
Julie: Actually, all the other bees conspire against the queen bee and then takes over!
Me: And that just suddenly enables the bee to reproduce?!? Really now.
Julie: YES.

My spanish teacher is crazy. End of story.

For a project, I have to create a fashion magazine... ALL IN SPANISH!

WHYYYYYYYYYYY?? I have no clue. So, Julie and I are partners on this project. I guess you can call us co-editors. Oh, witty! So, our idea was to go to the mall and just dress up and then take photos. Our model? Johnna, of course!

So, basically, we were taking photos in the dressing room... and it felt really weird. We were trying not to do it when the employees are around so there was lots of improvising going around when they came to check up on us.. Like when I had to take a photo of Johhna's feet because she was wearing leather sandals and the guy walked in.... and she was hopping around. Yeahh, strange.

But, we finished! And then had lunch at the Macaroni Grill. Delish.
:)

And it's everything I want in one! It's an HP.
:)

I'm so stoked, especially since it comes with a webcam thing. How cool is that?!? Veryyyyyy. Plus, everything is so shiny! I LOVE shiny things!

Eeeeeeeek.

But, I barely have time to even sleep. I completely regret taking 4 AP classes.  So, instead, I'll post these Quote of the Day.


Walking towards the parking lot
Julie: *on the phone with Courtney* He gave you a patch because he can't go to Homecoming with you?
Me: A what? A nicotine patch?
Allison: *at the same moment* Eye-patch!
Julie: NO. Why am I friends with you!?? Eye patch? Nicotine patch? The two most random things ever.

Eeeeeep!!

He won!!
:)

This is history right here, baby.

.... if we were allowed to have glowsticks at the show. We had to throw them away at the door.
:(

Yes, this was an Asian-fest. Yes, we are awesome.

Every Avenue.
The Maine.
Mayday Parade.
All Time Low.

My feet hurt. They've been stepped on and abused. Extensively.

Fat girls (not that I have anything against them, but these were competely rude) kept elbowing in the stomach, the shoulder, the back, just to get a better view. Which, you know, is normal, I know. But not when they do it ON PURPOSE. They did it because I wouldn't bugde from my spot, so I had like 2 girls who weighed about 200 pounds each conspire with each other and shove at once. I was making eye contact with them when they did it!!! And then they laughed. But I still didn't budge, so after that, they would step on my feet, shove, and elbow. Everywhere.

Butttt, other than that, it was fun. I got to take a photo with the guitarist of Every Avenue.
:)

Derek and Dylan are sitting on the ground when I walk into the nanny's room. Derek is looking at a toy catalog.

Derek: Vivian, for Christmas, I want this telescope, this PS2, this etc, etc.
Me: Do you know what I want for Christmas?
Dylan: A girlfriend? 'Cause you're lesbian!
Me: :o *speechless*

Sigh. This is what I get for singing I Kissed a Girl at home.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! I just finished baking and frosting 130 cupcakes for tomorrow. For 5 hours.

AND, I JUST PLANNED A PROPOSAL FOR THIS MAN I BARELY KNOW WHO JUST HAPPENS TO BE MY NANNY'S FRIEND. Yes, I'm amazing. I think it's a cute idea. He's taking her to The Melting Pot- a restaurant of dessert- and place the ring on top of a cupcake or something. Something.

Yesterday was Linly's sleepover. Kevin, Quinn, and Rebecca came, too. Well, Johnna came, but she didn't get there til 11 :(

It was nice. It was refreshing, you know? Just sitting and chatting and catching up with friends that you don't have a chance to do at school. Linly's so silly. :)

Basically, all we did was sit around and then we thought it'd be a good idea to tell scary stories. Note to self: Rebeccca can't tell a scary story to save her life. Even though the stories weren't that scary, Linly and I did a lot of screaming. A LOT. And when Johnna came and we watched The Ring, we did even more screaming. I shrieked. And you know what's funny? I hate scary movies. The last ones I watched were The Ring in 2004 and part of The Grudge. I haven't seen a scary movie since then, and I FCKIN HATE THE RING!!!!!!!!!!!! The well scene? I screamed every time.

Still.....
:)

Yesterday in chemistry was ridiculously fun. We had a lab on the molar mass of butane that involved submerging butane underwater. The main point? After the lab calculations, our goal was to set the butane on fire. So, we had Leigh come over and hold a lighted lighter over the water as we released the butane. Well, Julie released the butane, and for like 3 seconds, nothing happened. We were like, "Aww, man!" And then suddenly, BOOM. The whole area went up in flames. Seeing as how it was us four girls, we all screamed. Everyone turned to look at us. And then we broke out in laughter. Ms. Markham came over and told us not to do that anymore unless she was there. The hair on Leigh's arm and knuckles were a bit singed....

Oh, and Norway knows my name! Haha, oh man. Shoot me now. I'm so lame.

BUT, today, my day sucked. So much. I've been forgetful, frustrated, completely stupid for not solving simple 4x4 and 5x5 matrices.

:( 

AND MY CAR HAS A SEMI FLAT TIRE BECAUSE I DROVE OVER A NAIL THAT IS NOW EMBEDDED INTO MY FRONT RIGHT TIRE!!!

30- 10!! Chargers won!

I had so much fun tonight. My voice is gone. I sound like an old lady who's been smoking for years when I attempt to talk. It's all scratchy and hoarse.

But, I booed and screamed the whole gameeee. Loudly. Even while reading my art history homework. (Yes, I brought some of my homework.)
:)

It was totally worth putting off 3 hours of homework til now.
