June 03, 2002

Okay, today was supposed to be a happy day, but then I got some bad news afterschool today, so let's review how the whole day went in a really long and really sad story. XP

Today I got a couple people to sign my sig sheets and the turnout was pretty good I guess. There wasn't much to do today because it's almost the end of the school year and it's not enough time for teachers to grade major assignments and crap like that. Anyway, in ceramics class we worked on calligraphy writing and I wrote in Chinese. XP But I didn't even know what I wrote! Then in 4th period we worked on BizWorld stuff again and Edith, Domeatrice, Jasmine, & I worked on about six more braclets to add to our other five. Near the end of class Bobby "play" bought one of our bracelets to add to his group's collection of colorful bracelets. Oo;;;

Fifth period Kimiko and I worked on a chat paper and it's pretty darn long and I'll add it to the site sometime tomorrow when I'm in the mood and crap. Um... okay in 6th period we did stuff, oh yeah, we played review bingo and I didn't win but I don't care bingo's boring anyway. 7th period we finished watching the Edgar Allen Poe movie and it was kinda scary and I don't want to watch it again just because. I don't watch many horror or bloody movies, they're freaky.

Now for the bad news. I'm walking along looking for my ride after school and forgot that there was GATE class today, or so I thought, but it wouldn't hurt to spend a few minutes talking to Crystal R. So... I went to talk with her afterschool for about five minutes and Jerell just happened to be there and I asked Crystal about her home addy so I can mail her some drawings over the summer and I got it, and then she signed my sig sheets and so did Jerell. Then Jerell told me that he was moving to Japan after 7th grade and not that I showed it or anything but I was like really upset 'cause he wouldn't be back for a VERY long time. But then Jerell also asked if I could draw a pic for him before school's over and I agreed 'cause it would probably be the last thing I could do for him. <=(

After that sad meeting I went back to my "GATE" class to find nobody there, and I had to go really bad so I went for a couple min. and walked around school and it got hot (just 'cause I didn't take off my jacket, duh) so I decided to seek some shade in Ali's GATE class, the only one that was still going. They partied and offered some snacks to me but I wasn't hungry or anything (Jerell ruined my thoughts) and so I endured the party by drawing stuff. I started by drawing two cows, one mad and one laughing. Oo;; I don't know, the French cheese gave me the idea. ^^;

When I got home, I got started on the pic for Jerell (the idea was still fresh in my mind and I'll start hurting myself nowadays) and it's of Kirby surfing on his star board, Yoshi clinging to the star, Link looking all shocked/awed, and Butterfree just stopping before crashing into Kirby's star. ^^ It's kinda cute. And then I got started on a pic for Anthony P., whom I found out to be Crystal & Stephanie's cousin (wow, so many related students I know), which was a monkey and a GameCube controller hanging from a pole. I drew that for Traa before and I'll do it again just 'cause Jerell's pic wasn't enough to keep me occupied and busy from grabbing a knife and stabbing myself. ><;;;

Then we went to the Cougar Medallion Awards. Ali got two medals (she's the only 6th grade scrub with two medals), a Pres. Award, and a plaque for student of the year. Wow. O.O I got three medals and the Pres. award. ^_^ After that I told Jerell that I finished his pic and that if I didn't forget it I would give it to him tomorrow and... I think that's it.

Jerell........I'm going to kill him. XP He'll get to see all the new games before me... and he'll be gone for too long that I'll die before he even gets back to America. <=( Oh well... friends have to move away sometimes, seems like I'll have to live with it the same way I did in 5th grade, but it felt great to separate from those "friends" 'cause they were nuts. Oo;; I'm going to miss him and all... He had only one more year here to finish 8th grade and he's moving already...

June 04, 2002

Sigh.... <=( Still being plagued by yesterday's thoughts, especially since afterschool today, hoy. /_\;; I'm tired. But what happened earlier is pretty funny.

This morning in 1st period we got our yearbooks and laughed at the pics and I looked through to find downfalls and improvements in smiles. Before doing so, though, I had to go with Isabelle to get her yearbook from room 504 because they forgot to give it to her. Oo; Good thing she kept the receipt. Okay... um... I forgot what I was about to type. Anyway, in 2nd period we got to throw old ceramic pieces in the trash, and the guys had fun doing so. Fortunately, the 8th graders were out and having fun at a theme park so we didn't have to get any bother from them. ^_^ They're annoying this year.

4th period we did BizWorld stuff again and after that I got some of the guys and gals to sign my duckie/chickie and dragons and cats sig sheets, and turtle. ^^ Got to know how they are a little better and it'll do me some good for next year. Did the same in 5th period. Um........... okay I decided not to go to room 307 for the A club party with Kimiko because I had business to take care of in the lunch area. T_T Pathetic, I'm not doing stuff on time.

Anyway for a while I ate pizza and stuff and waited for the group to arrive. Uh... kinda strange but Christine mentioned Dennis but she couldn't tell me anything about what she had to say about him because Ashley was there and Christine didn't want Ashley to know anything about it, whatever it was so Christine was going to tell me about it tomorrow if she didn't forget. I kinda noticed as I was shaking my head and turning from left to right and vice versa that Jerell was looking up and at me a couple times. <=/ And then I remembered the pic I was supposed to give him this morning but forgot 'cause I went to take a walk with Jessica and Ashley and the rest!

Then after a while of being bored Jerell came along and walked in behind me and at the same time I got out his super-cute picture of Yoshi and Kirby and Link and Butterfree. ^_^ He put it on the front of his binder. =D I feel so special... XP Then he left and I went and got out another picture I saw in there, and it was a monkey hanging up-side-down and a GameCube controller tied to the pole and hanging. ~_^ That's just cute, isn't it? XP I gave it to Crystal to give to her cousin Anthony and then I went to the bathroom. Kieaira was in the bathroom and looked like she lost her brain for the moment. Oo;; It was kinda chaos in there. While all was going on I got Kieaira to sign my duckie. ^.^ Then I got back to the table we all normally sit at and found my seat taken and everything, so I sat on the stone bench structure next to our table. Actually, it was more like a "sit with your legs in front of you" position. It was so I could organize all my sig sheets and stuff without bending over so far and all.

Just when I had finished organizing and crap like that, Jerell and Robert come right up to me again and Jerell asks to sign the sig sheet again with a little note. This time he signed the orange kitty blob. ^^ That sig sheet seemed almost empty. XP Then we talked a little about how he'll try to contact me from Japan over the summer and then he left and I added just before he left, "You know I'll miss you!" but I was being sarcastic that time. ^^;;; Then with just the last few min. of lunch remaining I decided to go and have José and Ryan sign the sig sheets. José signed the duckie/chickie thing and then the bell rang. Then I kinda "shoved" the binder at Ryan and told him to sign it. ^^;; Kinda rude, but I don't want to be late or anything. It took him FOREVER to sign the damn thing (the dragon sig sheet). He can't walk and write at the same time and I've noticed 'cause people were bumping into him and all. T_T;; And finally after about two min. he finished and I dashed to class with just one minute of passing period remaining. -.-;;; So close... And they had lock-outs this week too. Oy I'm hurting myself already.

6th period we played a combo review game of Who Wants to be a Millionaire and Weakest Link and we sucked. XP 7th period Elaine and I were goofing off in a warzone of erasers, rubberbands, crayons, and beads. lol It was an old slavery war to me - black kids (Jimmie, Kenjon, & Daveon) against a lone white kid (Chris Ha.). lol It was funny though. Elaine and I were playing mad libs. ^_^ It was so funny what we put in there, something about Teletubbies, Jimmy being gay, crabs that sing, and other funny stuff. lol It was also chaos in this class. When we were finally dismissed, I decided to walk along on my own but then I saw Elaine ahead of me and walked with her to the front of the school. Then Jerell walked pass and I ran up to him and Elaine ran after me and all three of us chatted about stuff and Elaine saw her ride and stuff and started yelling a bunch of crap at me and I was like to Jerell, "She's weird." and Elaine gave me that expression that meant, "I'm going to hurt you." and she left. Jerell gave off a little "Heh."

At the flagpole Jerell and I talked a bit again about him going to Japan and I was in shock. He's leaving on June 7, the day right after school's out. <=( And in the morning, too. Then he told me what he'll probably be doing while in Japan. He says his dad is there already and that his dad already bought all this digital stuff and a ton of video games. >=( I hate Jerell. Then Ashley D. walked pass me and gave me that "You know you like him." face but I don't like-like Jerell... I just like him as a friend. T_T I hope Ashley doesn't mention this to Kristine or I'll be taunted forever. OO;; Then Jerell said that he would be right back to go get a year book and after a while he came back and said it was closed. =( Poor dude. Ali the terror cookie finally appeared with Jelly Bean (that's Angelica) and I gave Jerell a quick hug and we left for home. <=)

All the way home I was looking at all the stupid little comments people wrote on my sig sheets. Some of them were really interesting like these (my comments are in pink):

"Hey Mary what's crackin? nuttin much here just being bored stay coo and stop pokeing me Love Ashley (L.)" Poking is a habit.
"A few words from Krissa: Be brave, smart, & love BSB" What does BSB have to do w/ school?!
"I hope your not as quiet next year! See you next year - Erik ... Wow is that a duck!" I'm not quiet, and that is a chicken chick!
"Hey Maryanne~ Kewl surfin chick! Ha ha <3 Ashley (M.)" It surfs. XP
"Trevor: (phone number hidden) Call me Baby" Hell no.
"Hey Meh Meh have a great sumer And send me lots of picturs and I send you mine. Lauren" Okai! =P I need to write more than type anyway.
"See u next year loaner. (Kristine)" Back to you, loaner. =D
"Howdy Ho Don't eat the yellow snow!!! Kieaira B." Have I heard that before?
"C ya in a long ass time - Jerell" Come back soon.
"Your a tight artist gurl, I hope you have a good summer. Jasmine" "Tight artist gurl"?
"See ya latter. hope you have a great summer keep on tracing. Robert" I don't trace.
"Have a super summer. Ryan" Super summer is more like slackin' off summer.
"Make me a new picture. Traa" I'm too lazy.
"Hey, hope you have a cool summer! Have fun in the sun! <3II Kimiko ~_^ P.S. You're a BUM!" You're a bum.
"Hey woman have a wonderful summer. Amber C. =9" I'm not a woman I'm a little girl.
"Jimmie K. great Drawer" Oo;;;
"Thanks for everything keep in touch, Im moving so i can't give e-mail, so i'll e-mail you. - Jerell R." Hurry up, plz. ^_^

Aren't those interesting? XP Jerell outta bring me a Japanese video game when he gets back!! =P But then... he probably won't be back for a while. =( Darn... Anyway, we got a surprise visit a while after we got home.

Kevin and Stephanie and Natalie came to our house for a visit after they finished school =D It's been a while since I actually talked to Kevin in person as well as Stephanie. We both got our yearbooks today and so we looked at eachother's yearbooks and recognized quite a few familiar faces. I showed Steph and Kev my new friends and who I hang out with, who I hate, who's the Twinkie, that sort of stuff. Then I told about Jerell and how he's leaving us to go to Japan and let us get bombed. ><; Well, not the bombing part 'cause that wasn't true, but the Japan move was true. They were pretty interested I guess. And then Kevin told me that he missed a lot because he had been absent for months. ><; Way to miss out on all the fun school has. Then we played video games (mario tennis) a few rounds of tennis and it was already time for them to go. We're meeting at the lake afterschool so it'll be a blast. Hoy, forgot to tell Jerell my other eMail addy incase the AOL one don't work... ><;;;

June 05, 2002

Ah, I'm kinda happy now. ^_^ This morning Izzy (Isabelle), Frizzy (Felisha), and Meh*Meh (that's me) went for a walk around the "back alleys" of the campus to give something to Mrs. Shelton. Then Izzy started telling me a couple tagalog words and she said Felisha was pangit. lol That means ugly. 3rd period we didn't have to do SSR, thank goodness!! We got to watch Clifford and sign yearbooks and autograph sheets and stuff. Felisha and Todd were flirting, or, more like throwing hard-cover books at eachother. lol On my way from 4th period to 5th I saw Jerell and I slapped him. lol I'm having fun today. 5th period we have a Pictionary game to play against Langhorne's class, and we're losing, 2 to 3. But we'll continue that tomorrow.

Morning's over. ^.^ On my way back over to the 300 wing I saw Jerell again (he's going to PE near the 500 wing) and this time he like, avoided me. lol But I said to him this time I wasn't going to slap him and he looked all relieved. lol I think I'm going to miss him, he's so much fun to bug. Then 6th period we had a post test on everything we learned that year from the Romans to the Enlightenment. T_T I hate tests. Then 7th period we were at war with everyone. We threw beads, erasers, and candy wrappers at eachother and we slapped eachother with any sweaters we had. Actually, I didn't think we needed sweaters, it was HOT!! Anyway, I kicked Sam in the face by accident and he's going to kill me tomorrow. Oo;;;

I threw Lauren's soda bottle around afterschool and she *chased* me off campus. T_T Now I'm home and my friends are here and I gotta go eat.

June 06, 2002

*cries* Okay, literally, I was crying when I typed this. <='( I think school ended too soon and the end of it was so happy at first because of summer vacation and no school, but now it seems like we left too soon and I already miss a lot of people and I'll miss all the fun and jokes for three months, and all the love and kindness of my closest friends and the stupidity of Chris Hans. (j/k) and the competition between me and the GATE students and Jerell himself. <=( *there goes another teardrop* As much I might've hated school work, I still love my friends...

Around 6:30 I started drawing a pic of Dynamic the dragon and colored it and everything. It took me 30 min. Then we left for school and I showed my Dynamic w/ pride by putting him on the front of my binder. This morning Izzy and I walked around and bugged Kristine, and Kristine managed to take a pic of me off guard and I freaked. Izzy got mad because I wasn't looking when she wanted a pic of me, and at the end of 1st period I drew hearts with Izzy's pink gel pen. On my way to second I saw Jerell and Stephanie and Stephanie walked into the art class before I could say anything and Jerell still had to go somewhere so I yelled out to him, "HEY JERELL!!" and he smiled and waved. ^_^ It wasn't in a flirty tone, I hate that tone, I did it in a whacky manner. 2nd period Lauren wrote a sweet poem and I edited her spelling and drew a picture to go with the poem. Robert talked to me and Lauren a lot this period, more than normal, and we shared candy pieces and stuff and Robert fixed my little paper origami star thing (that was such a sweet thing to do ^_^). Then 3rd period Adriana started poking me with the new star's vertexes and I looked through my sig sheets and started feeling like crying but I managed to hold them in.

4th period was normal and boring, and Chris Hen. nominated me one of the most politetest (is there a word?) people in the class and I got a peach flavored dum dum lollipop. ^.^ Aww... isn't that sweet? No, I mean the candy. j/k On my way to science class I met up w/ Jerell again and he had green silly string in his hair. lol I saw pink silly string in Louis' hair. lol 5th period our class won the Pictionary game and as soon as the bell rung I shot out the door (I never really knew anyone in 5th period anyway). On my way back over to the 300 wing Sam caught up and we walked together for the first few steps and then Sam got caught by Richard and I walked off w/out Sam. Um... near the end of the 400 wing I socked Jerell >=P. Okay, the tears have retreated thinking about these funny moments.

6th period we had free time and I didn't really do anything but look at Felisha pathetically. T_T She doesn't know how to dribble a basketball with one hand. Then 7th, the greatest period of 'em all... we also had free time and I tried to push Bianca off the rolling chair. ^^;; I had little success. I ate my dum dum in that class and it tasted good and as soon as I finished it and the stick was left I asked Bianca if she wanted some. lol Nah. Jimmie was screaming mad all period, people got American red/white/blue popsicles (I didn't =( ) and we all had a good time and the principal came of the loud speakers and said, "This will be the last bell ring of the year!" and we all cheered and jumped and hugged... It was such a relief! Speaking of hugging...

Here are the people I hugged on my way off campus: Bianca C. (she's my language arts bud), Jonathon S. (my neighbor XP), Alyssa G. (the monkey lover), Sam V. (he almost kicked me w/ his jumping), Jimmie K. (class clown in la class), Robert W. (my only blonde guy friend XP). As I exited the side gates Robert seemed to "cling" to me (or is that flirting?) and asking me where I'm going afterschool and I said I'm going to be lazy and staying home. And then he asked for my phone number and I warned him I am constantly blocking the phone line. He never done that to me before, we usually just taunted eachother. Then it seemed like out of no where Jerell just "jumped" to my side (I literally freaked Oo;;) and gave me folded paper and told me to read it in two days I think. I not sure. I gave Jerell my drawing of Dynamic (or Dyno, for short) that I drew this morning. All three of us walked to the front of the office and we waited there for a minute or two for the rest of the people and Robert decided to be pervertous instead of sweet and ran his index finger across my little rainbow of hearts on my shirt and then he touched my ass!!! Oo;;; Pervert. I'm not calling him. >=) Then I saw Crystal and I hugged her and she gave me a little note in a Hello Kitty envelope and guess who it was addressed to? Meh*Meh!! ^.^ Somebody remembered my other name... Then I um.. forgot what I was about to type. Oh yeah, then I hugged Jerell tightly and now that I think of it I think I choked him. Oo;;; That hug lasted longer than all the other ones, just 'cause I'll miss him most from this year and 'cause we ended up being close friends in a matter of a week (or like, three/four days). Then I left and hugged Ashley L., one of the many Ashleys I know, and then walked towards a tree that was so beautifully decorated with toilet paper T_T and found Eric and a dust devil and then finally Ali came. T_T I was going to hug um... Ryan (I forgot his name for a moment) 'cause I forgot to hug him and José back near the office (I saw them when Crystal came, but I forgot they were there when I hugged Jerell) but my mom was here and if she found I spent almost 15 minutes hugging people she'd start yelling at me again. Oo;; Hey this is a really long paragraph, isn't it? XP

Down at my lil' sissy's elementary school Ali and I played catcher-and-pitcher (I was catcher) and we threw a hacky sack at eachother to sharpen my sis' pitching skills. Then the weather started getting hot and we hunted for bugs under the tree bark in the shade of a maple tree. Then I decided to open up Crystal's note and I thought it was so memorable. ^_^ She wrote it short and simple and told of how the entire year went (and a little more detailed about the Valentine's Day card) and I think I'll remember those days as if they happened an hour ago. <=) I'm going to write to her over the summer. ^_^ I know I wasn't supposed to read it until two days later but I was so curious! I read Jerell's letter. <=) It was short and interesting...

His closing kinda puzzled me for a moment... I wasn't really sure at first what his "YBfa, Jerell" meant but then... I figured it out pretty quickly. For those who don't know, YBFA means "Your best friend always". I'm hoping he didn't mean for it to be "Your boy friend always". Oo;; Okay, the rest of the day I was watching Harry Potter & the Sorcerer's Stone and it's a good movie, I finally watched it. Then I looked through the yearbook and I kinda cried a few tears but I've recovered and I think I'll call people tomorrow. lol Sorry, Ali's running to the TV 'cause Powerpuff Girls' on. lol Um... that's all that's happened. Ha, I think I'm going to cry a storm...

Okay, I stopped. Oh dear, it's flooded... Anyway, we went to Ali's batting practice and I started on a carwash poster to help raise money for the team's fundraiser. Then cute lil' Alexandria (or Alex for short) asked why I bring the school yearbook everywhere and I don't bring it everywhere, I get bored easily. ^_^;; And she wondered who the letters I got were from and I told her about the *three* pairs of twins in our grade level and about Jerell's going to Japan and how upset I got about the whole thing today. XP

When I got home around 7 I showered and stumbled into my room and found Stephanie R. was on and I went on my s/n and talked to Stephanie a bit and then she and Crystal switched and I was talking to Crystal for a while, and I told her about the carwash poster (the shiny smiling car, lol!!! it looked so funny) and how many times I read Jerell's letter, it was about 9 times and then we questioned eachother about how our first few hours of summer vacation were. ^_^ I'm kinda liking it, but looking at Jerell's letter reminds me that he won't be here in August for 8th grade and that he'll be gone tomorrow. <='( But then... we started talking about the carwash poster again. lol

June 07, 2002

Eh... still upset about yesterday again. >=( Jerell left this morning. Um... I woke up at 7:30 but I stayed in bed 'til 9 and looking through letters and yearbooks and later I wrote a letter to Ashley L. with a monkey drawing. <=) Little cheery, but what the heck...

I got kicked out of the house to wash my shoes. ><;;; After I finished washing my shoes the water was brown, ugly, yicky, etc. Yickety yick. XP Then we had to fold clothes and Sarah decided to be a big bother and crap, she started crying and Ali picked her up and threw her across the room. lol It took us two hours to fold all the clothes, 'cause we were too busy cracking up at Sarah being thrown. lol Okay, that's mean, but Sarah was happy after being thrown. ^_^ We're wierdos. XP

After those chores were done I played some Yoshi's Story and I got bored and looked through the yearbook again. I felt like crying... again. =( I need to put that damn thing down. Now I'm on the computer 'cause I ended up picking up Jerell's letter and reading it for the 11th time since I got it yesterday. XP I'm going to eMail him something really stupid but that's 'cause I'm bored... hey I should eMail Kristine that I'm bored too.... >=P Oh wait, I forgot some of Jerell's eMail addies don't work yet so I guess I'll have to wait 'til he eMail's me, that's a better idea. Only problem is, I can get very impatient, but I'll try to keep my head on my neck this time. Kristine, I'm poking you via eMail!!!! >=D

June 08, 2002

I'm feeling a little better. <=) Ali's softball team had a carwash to do and we were supposed to be there at 8 this morning but I woke up at 8:30 so mom and Sarah decided that we'll catch up as soon as I'm ready and crap. At the gas station I was holding up a poster that advertised the carwash and I don't remember how many cars came. ><;;

Then I went to Krissa and Christine's house to talk a bit about the tennis organizations and such and to visit cute lil' Ki. ^_^ He's so cute... a little piggish but still cute. ^_^ Then K & C talked about how they missed their friends and classmates and I felt like crying again but I held it in. ^^;; I showed Krissa Crystal's and Jerell's letters and Krissa wasn't interested in Crystal's letter but in Jerell's letter... and she said that YBFA meant "Your boy friend always". I knew she would say that. But really, it does mean "Your best friend always".

And I'm home and I finished making the letter holder out of my sis' construction paper, and the results aren't too bad. ^_^ I stuck Jerell's and Crystal's letters in it and hung it next to my door. It looks cute. ^_^ Now I gotta go check on my NeoPets, I haven't gone in a while and they're probably hungry.

June 09, 2002

I am like, struggling to keep myself happy this month, oy. /_\;; I am still dragging that yearbook around and this morning we went to some place to help at a snack bar to raise money for my sis. T_T All I did was sit back and relax in the van again, playing Pokémon Stadium and Zelda and Mario Party, and Sarah started crying when she lost a mini game. Then I played Mario Tennis on my own since little bratty half-pint wouldn't shut the f*ck up. Then back to Pokémon Stadium and I beat Erika and Koga finally and got the PokéBall Cup from the Prime tournament. ^^

Then we went to some lake and then Sports Chalet to get Ali a new softball glove, which cost about $70. Oo;; Daddy could've got me two Game Boy games with that. T_T Then we got back to the fields and served snacks and more and I hung out in the van again and looking through the yearbook and the usual was about to happen... wahhhh. XP 'Specially when I came across page 38. Oo;;

June 10, 2002

This morning we went to school to deal with the school transfer. I should've gone to Bethune, gawd. >=( And when we got to the school we found that the person who was supposed to deal with the registries and crap wasn't there and we ended up w/ coming back tomorrow. And then we went shopping at a Chinese market and got Yan Yans and Pockys. <=) We also got some other stuff, too but I don't know how to spell it in English.

Then we got home and I started playing Zelda64. Um... I beat my old horseback archery score. It was 1880 points but now it's 1960 points. O.O Wow, it'll be way too hard for my sisters to beat. In fact, they've never beaten my scores. ^_^ I feel so proud... XP Then I got on the Internet for a while, found out I can't log into NeoPets anymore, god dangit I hate my computer. T_T

Then I drew stuff in front of the TV and I forgot what I drew... oh wait, I finished up coloring my sig pics and set them in plastic sheets for my display binder. ^_^ They all look nice I guess. Then I drew Aru Leo and it looks a whole hell a lot better than my old Aru Leo drawings. I made him get big ears. ^^;; I counted all the pics in my binder... there are a total of 103 pics that have been fully-colored!! O.O Whoa... actually, make that 104 w/ the Aru Leo pic. Then I drew a pink unicorn and it looked nice and I stuck it on the fridge. ^_^ It's right next to my little sister's "unicorns". Ah, the competition.

After we ate we went outside and practiced a few sports. I decided to goof off with the tee stand and the plastic baseballs and when I batted my parents thought I had a better swing than Ali. Oo;; They said it came naturally 'cause I didn't drop my shoulders when I swung. Oo;; Don't know what that means, really. Then Ali got mad. lol I batted for a while and then I played basketball and then soccer and I had to help clean up the sports stuff. ^.^ I wanted to stay outside longer 'cause it's June and June beetles come out here at night out of nowhere and we would catch them. ^_^

June beetle-catching is a cool pastime that we used to do with friends while we were still in elementary school. Stephanie and Kevin and James, and Krissa and Christine would be over at our house ('cause we had the biggest back yard) and we would have nets and jars and we swiped the bugs and watched them crawl around in the jars. We did an experiment with them; June beetles only come out at night, so at sleep overs we would wake up in the morning and look at our jars of beetles. Some of them survived while others were very still and all, and when we set them free we would watch them fly or burry into the ground. O.O This was kinda gross too... but I never knew what they were doing back then (this was years ago by the way) but some of the beetles were directly on top of eachother and the one on top clinged to the one on the bottom and back then I thought they were trying to build a ladder so that the beetle at the very top could push the lid off the jar, but now I know that they were actually mating!! Oo;;;; Whoops, how should I know when I was only 9?

After showering I went on the computer and made a homie sprite of Jerell, Izzy, Bianca, Ashley D., Alex, Ryan, Jonathon, Jessica, & Robert. These sprites look cute (and finally, I make boys!! ^_^). They're at Itsy Bitsy.Ahahahaha... okay, I'm not good at making sprites, that's for sure. ^_^;; Well, I'm going on gURL now. Uh oh... that yearbook is right next to the keyboard... <=(

June 11, 2002

Gawd, we went back to the school for the transfer thingy and they were at their lunch break. T_T;;; Ali should've waken up earlier, dangit. Then we went to Wal-Mart and then to Albertsons to look for Father's Day cards and we found some of the weirdest we've seen yet. ^_^

Then the rest of the day seemed to go by quickly. I watched Harry Potter again and Quest for Camelot, just 'cause I was really bored. Then we dropped Ali off at practice. While she was gone, I was at home trying to think up of ideas to draw 'cause I felt like drawing. =/ I couldn't think of anything so I called people; I called Lauren, but no answer, Izzy's kept ringing, Felisha's didn't answer, and I gave up on Robert. T_T Oh well... I did come up with an idea though, looking at the two letters from Crystal and Jerell. I drew myself reading them. =) The pic looks pretty cute. I just added Dino to it. ^_^ Even cuter. I'll try to ink it sometime soon.

Grr... now that I mention the letters I am hurting myself with thoughts. T_T Jerell hasn't responded, I'm getting anxious, Lauren, Felisha, nor Izzy aren't answering the phone, Robert's going to be a bug, Josh doesn't really talk to me anymore, Kristine isn't responding to my eMails... sheesh. Nobody's responding. =( Seems like only Ashley L. Crystal and Stephanie, and Krissa and Christine are the only ones that are still eMailing me right now. Um... I wonder if Ashley and Crystal and Stephanie got my mail...

June 12, 2002

Hoy, I'm tired and I'm bored. /_\;;; This morning we finally dropped off the transfer slips and when we got home I found that Lauren called. Then a few minutes after I found out she called again and as soon as Ali handed me the phone Ali started throwing toy fish at me. T_T Lauren talked about her cap in her teeth falling out and at first I kept mistaking her saying that her teeth were falling out, but that was because I can't here nor concentrate on hearing when my sisters are throwing fish at me. T_T Then I could hear her little brother in the background and it was quite funny hearing Lauren and Aaron yapping and arguing on the phone. ^_^

Then I got to drawing and I finished another fully-colored picture. =) It was the one where I drew myself reading the letters. The second for summer vacation, I feel so proud. ^_^ I'm thinking about making another pic but I'm not sure of what. =/ I'm going to need the phone again...

Here's where the gray part comes in. I try to play Pokémon Stadium to try and beat Blaine but my little ugly sister kept bugging me and she made me press all these wrong buttons and I lost the battle just before Blaine. >=( That b*tch. I didn't feel like doing it over for the 4th time, so instead I played Mario Tennis. The temperature was already hot so I wasn't even in the mood to start with when I was playing Mario Tennis either. I tried to have Shy Guy beat the Planet Cup but have a hard time using him these days and it's hard enough when you're already mad and trying to concentrate when some idiot sister tries to get on your nerves. >=( I beat it after about an hour. T_T Then I played Zelda64 again and was just goofing off...

As soon as I got bored of that I switched the video games off and actually watched TV for once. ^_^ Guess what? THE POWERPUFF GIRLS WERE ON!!! XP Powerpuff Girls rock... anyway, it was the episode that Blossom was Liberty Bell, Bubbles was the bunny thing (can't you tell I forgot the name?), and Buttercup was Mage or something like that. That's one of my fav. episodes. ^_^

Then we dropped Ali off to practice and came home and we won't pic her up 'til about 7. ^_^ Leaves me w/ peace and quiet for an hour. Now, I am going on the Internet and if I have time before Ali comes home I'll see if I can call someone... I cannot STAND talking on the phone when Ali's around, she's a bug with her fishy attack. T_T I called Robert, trying to think up of ideas for my third fully-colored pic. He had nothing in mind and so I was on my own and I started drawing Dynamic again, in his mighty form. I finished drawing it and I'm going to color it tomorrow.

June 13, 2002

Thank God it's not Friday. ^.^;; Um... my mom cut my hair this morning, about two inches got cut off and about 3 inches got cut off of my bangs. It looks okay.. and then she curled the ends inward and it looks BETTER. =P No more split ends for a while. ^_^ I'm happy... then I read some old video game magazines and crap and I thought they sucked... all it had was Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil Code Veronica thing, shit, I don't like Resident Evil. Those mags must be OLD....

Anyway, after spending about an hour reading those, I decided to go and watch Pokémon (it was the one about Gligarman). T_T I saw that ep already. Then the Powerpuff Girls came on (I learned that the Powerpuff Girls come on @ 4:30 here). The first ep was about a rainy day and the girls couldn't go crime-fighting and so they "acted" as bad guys and the mayor and themselves, it was comedy. lol Blossom wore a bucket on her head and Bubbles and Buttercup played a Pitfall I think and it was on a platform that looked like the N64. lol It was cute. Then we dropped off Ali to practice.

On our way back from dropping Ali off we went to Food 4 Less (T_T) and got stuff... we're having tacos for dinner. Ow... I think I'm sensitive to hot sauce. Oo;;; I was looking back through the yearbook as we got home... darn, I need to find a place for the yearbook so that I won't touch it for at least a week. /_\;; It's too painful to look at right now...

Then I had to shower 'cause of that hot sauce incident and it still doesn't feel good... and now my hair's out of its curls. /_\;; I need to put that yearbook away, it is right next to me right now and I feel like picking it up and looking through it again. =( Okay, I need to go check mah eMail right now... and some other stuff. Hoy, I feel miserable.

Oh, and as soon as I got on the Internet Izzy and Crystal were on. ^_^ I talked to Izzy about stuff and she got hungry and obviously, if she was hungry she'd go and eat something. T_T Crystal told me Jerell was okay and I was relieved. ^_^ He eMailed Stephanie. ^_^ Then Crystal told me that she got my letter and the three super-cute pics I drew, and then I told her about my drawing of the spider w/ big feet and the dragon, Dynamic. Now I am going back on and I'm going to probably talk to Stephanie hopefully before dinner.

June 14, 2002

It's been a week and two days since school went out. /_\;;; And I'm really bored. Ali and Sarah are throwing fish at me, I can't find anything to do, the time goes by too slow these days... sheesh...

Anyway, I had a little fun w/ Ashley L. this morning. I eMailed her my 13-stanza poem and I eMailed it to Izzy, Crystal, Stephanie... and some other people. Anyway, Ashley was telling me about the site w/ personal quotes and crap firehotquotes.com and I managed to find one I liked. I stuck it in my AOL member directory list. Ashley has like... three of them. Oo;; Then I had to get off, and after all the fun I was having, too.

I watched the Powerpuff Girls, and I forgot what it was about. I think it was the one w/ the magician zombie person and the Powerpuff Girls getting scared and then Blossom is thought to have been killed. It was cute tho. I forgot what the second ep. was about.

I need something new to do... anyway, I got mail earlier this afternoon from Crystal and Stephanie, they sent their mail in sep. envelopes. I read Stephanie's first and then Crystal's. Both letters were interesting ('specially Stephanie's Oo;;) so I replied to the both of them today in seperate papers but same envelope. It took me an hour to finish writing the letters and adding little drawings in them. Oo;; What can you expect when you're trying to teach your little sister how to play Pokémon Stadium @ the same time?! After dinner I drew some stuff on the envelope and it should be ready to send by tomorrow... and that's all that's happened so far.

Oh and I'm thinking of moving the journal part of this site into its own seperate directory. It's getting pretty big and it just seems like another part of this junkish site w/ the same layout and CSS format. T_T I want it to have its own background format.

June 15, 2002

Gawd, it just HAD to be really hot today, did it?! This morning I uploaded all the new pics for my site. =P I love how they turned out. I made one of all the spirits and I might make one for Phae... but I'm not sure yet. ^^;;; We got Yoshi's Story the game today 'cause they're running out with the arrival of GameCube's games, pushing out the old N64 games. Then I stuck the letters to Crystal and Stephanie in the mailbox. Damn, it was HOT this morning!! O.O;;

Then I went to play Yoshi's Story for about two hours. Oo;;; My highest score on Story Mode was like... really high. Then it got hot and so I stopped playing and started drawing stuff to get some ideas of what I want to draw on my blank t-shirt. I think I'll draw a pink silhouette of Dyno on my white shirt and Pastel on my other blue shirt. ^_^ I hope to draw those on, soon... Then I looked through the yearbook and when I got to Jerell's pic I thought in my head, "Glad you're okay." or something like that, I can't remember. ^^;;;; Then I shut it and laughed 'cause Jonathon's pic got messed up when the pages stuck together. lol

Anyway, when I got online I started talking to Izzy. We talked about... pets, and then... fish. I told her about my old pet fishes, and how my sisters throw toy and snack fish at me. lol Then we started talking about siblings and how annoying mine were and how Izzy sometimes wanted a little bro or sis. Then we started talking about some other stuff... um... how Izzy was clumsy and that sort of thing. lol I gotta go insult her more...

June 16, 2002

Father's Day... and all these special holidays are horrid days to me. T_T Um... was at my cousin's house the entire day and found out that we're going to have another baby cousin. Oo;; We already got 3 baby peeps in the circle of families. Oo;;;;;;;;;;;; Anyway, went swimming in their backyard, and it was boring. /_\;; My eyes also hurt from swimming underwater w/ my eyes open and no goggles. I hate goggles. They're uncomfortable. Ali couldn't swim 'cause she had a huge scrape down her leg. >< Issa yucky sight.

Then we watched Jurassic Park III and I think it sucked. The dudes were only chased 'cause they had raptor eggs. T_T Pathetic, really. I like the previous parts. The first ones are usually the best. ^_^ Then... I went somewhere. I went to draw something on the envelope of the letter I'm sending to Lauren maybe tomorrow or Tuesday. There's a penguin and a chicken on it. ^_^ Then I started on another fully-colored picture, which still needs the blue in the skies. Issa picture of Neony flying from the ground-view. I'm trying so many different angles for the summer... =) The pic looks okay, there's a flock of birds in the background and they're in formation, and the sun... looks like a yellow circle and I think I messed up on the rays. It looks good so far, I'm going to finish it tomorrow.

Showed my relatives the yearbook, pointed out some of the friends I have... and I think that's it. <=/ I dunno, I don't have much today. Only I didn't really feel like talking today or anything 'cause I brought all the letters I've gotten since school went out and I read them like four or six times each. Oo;; I had a total of 4 letters btw. Um... reminded me of Jerell... I need to write to Lauren... I think that's it. =/ I had a lot on my mind that I just didn't really feel like talking at all today.

June 17, 2002

This morning I went and uploaded my new site, Itsy Bitsy, and it's tight I guess. =/ Then I had to fold clothes and get nagged about how to put them away. T_T When I got online Ashley L. was on and she wanted me to come over but I told her I couldn't go because we were supposed to go to Costco, but instead we didn't because my mom overslepted her nap time and Ali's practice was in a few hours which didn't leave much time to go shopping.

Then I watched Yu-Gi-Oh!, Pokémon, and Powerpuff Girls. The Yu-Gi-Oh! ep. was the one where Kaibo had the three Blue Eyes White Dragon and he ripped the Grandfather's treasured card and Yugi won the duel with the puzzle card thing and defeated Kaibo. Um... the Pokémon one was about the Scizors and how that one lavender-haired dude used his laptop to predict everyone's strategies. The Powerpuff Girls one was about the prank calls and how Him, Mojo JoJo, and Fuzzy acted as the Powerpuff Girls themselves and beat the prank call people. lol It was funny.

Then I went on the comp. again and read through all the journal entries I recorded. T_T I was bored and a call for Ali's practice could've been expected and if I went on the Internet I'd be blocking them. On our way to Ali's practice I played Pokémon Silver and when we got to the fields we find out that Ali forgot to bring her gear!! ><;; That's convenient. We go home to see if dad could bring the gear to her and he was already on his way and so we went home. I was looking through the yearbook again as we went home just because I wasn't feeling like doing anything else and because I want it to be like the school year in which classmates would see each other everyday and such, so I've been looking through the yearbook everyday or two. <=) It's comforting just looking at familiar faces.

When we got home my mom checked the mail and our report cards were here. I was kinda disappointed on mine. T_T The + on my A for ceramics class wasn't there like last quarter and I had two A-s. T_T They were for my worst subjects, PE and Pre-Algebra. Oh well... at least they're As. <=) I didn't do too well in PE because I was absent for some of the days and I can't really make up PE work anyway and in Pre-Algebra I was struggling on the tests with A- and B+s. /_\;; Ack, who needs assigments? Me. ><;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

Anyway, I'm going on the Internet to check my mail now... time to eMail Crystal about the report card stuff.

June 18, 2002

Got yelled at this morning. T_T It was for waking up late, not cleaning up our room (that was Ali's fricken fault), and being late for everything. That's Ali's and Sarah's fault too. I play video games and my mom kicks me off and we can't play the entire day. T_T Ali was nagging and bothering me the whole time while we were shopping this morning, too. /_\;; When we got home, it got worse 'cause when we worked on mosaic designs w/ beads on bottles and boxes, Sarah got upset because she couldn't glue any of her pieces onto her bottle. >=( She cried like a snobby baby. It took nearly an hour to get her to obey and even Ali got fired up. And she was mumbling and blabbering insults and we got her back VERY badly. >=D She deserved it.

In the afternoon we watched Powerpuff Girls again. lol It was cute, the mayor wanted to be the hero of the town and not be lazy, and he went in some balloon and had this boxing glove-shooting thing called the "Equalizer" and he hit practically everyone in the city. lol The powerpuff girls then show up and try to top him and while the mayor tries to hit them with the Equalizer he shoots the thing into an army base area thing and it hits a missile-launch button and four missiles are up in the air. Buttercup tears the cover off one, Bubbles "screamed" at it and it... retreated to space, and Blossom rode one like a cowgirl. And then there was the 4th missile about to hit a dog and the girls stop the missle from hitting the ground near the dog, but the mayor hits it with the Equalizer. lol The town's blown up and the girls are black. lol The next ep. was when the green gang people are thrown into school and they cause trouble. The teacher won't listen to the girls and the gang causes trouble and at recess the gang throws balls at the kids. The powerpuff girls are then told by the teacher to play dodgeball w/ the gang and the gang's defeated. lol

Then... we had to drop off Ali to practice. T_T

June 19, 2002

Hoy, there was nothing to do today. /_\;;; I finished the picture of the toilet w/ EV in it and Ali holds a toilet plunger. lol It was pretty funny. We were banned from video games this morning again, and so I was on the Internet updating and chatting w/ Ashley. T_T Then Lauren called unexpectedly and she called about our report card grades. She wasn't sure if it was supposed to say what grade level we'd be in next year. It didn't say anything about that on mine, and I think they let the parents choose the grade level, but I'm not really sure. =/ That conversation was a little long and pointless. She also wanted my mailing addy so that she could send me a monkey sticker. ^.^

Anyway, now I'm on the computer updating stuff again, and this time I moved the journal to ANOTHER new site, Meh*Meh's Journal (this is that site, btw). And... I think that's all that's happened. Dude, I hate my hair... the bangs are too short to stay up and they seem heavier than the rest of my hair... /_\;; I can't draw w/ my hair in the way. Ummm... since I don't really have anything to do I'm going to look through the yearbook again... that's what I usually do if I don't have anything to do anyway... my little sister broke the rule and she's playing video games, Ali's on the phone so I can't use the Internet, and I'm stuck here doing nothing... so I'm going to get something to drink. *heads for the kitchen*

June 20, 2002

Is it just the 20th?! Damn, time goes by slow!!! 'Kay... this morning we got kicked out of the house to wash two-buckets full of socks. T_T Then I had to fold white clothes, and then fix the socks after they dried... and then we watched Yu-Gi-Oh!, Pokémon, and Powerpuff Girls on Kids WB, those shows are cool. ^_^ Then... we went to Ali's batting practice w/ lasted about 15 min. T_T I decided to look through my binder of drawings while I was there, and Sarah brought her dinosaur book thing and so I looked for some inspiration and looked closer at the realism in the pictures. O.O Then when we got home I played Yoshi's Story and FINALLY unlocked the stage, Frustration. T_T Wow, aren't I pathetic.

Then I went on w/ Yoshi's Story and started beating records and everything on the Trial Mode (most of my scores are usually 4500 - 5800 pts.), just to see if Sarah or Ali could try to beat them. >=) Isso fun seeing them fail at every attempt. lol I feel dominant... Then I played Mario Tennis, being Birdo at the Pirahna Challenge mode, and getting a score of 44/50. =/ Not bad... Then I decided to give Yoshi a couple stars on the Exhibition history chart thing, beating Shy Guy and Daisy. >=P Hahahahahaha... I'm accomplishing!!! XP

Then when I turned it off the Teen Choice Awards was on and I was like... bleh. T_T I don't really like the awards shows, they're too long and they're pretty boring if you're not one of the nominated people. XP Then after showering I'm on the Internet. Lauren eMailed me unexpectedly, w/ huge font letters and a lime background. Oo;; Anyway... I replied her w/ a novel!!!! XP And now I'm going to upload this entry onto Tripod....

Holy cow!!! >=( I can't log into Lycos eMail!!! F*CK THAT SH*T!!!!!!!!! T_T It did that yesterday... oh well. /_\ I'll try later. I f*cken hate AOL. AND I hate my crappy computer. T_T Okay, gotta go.

June 21, 2002

Oh yay, I get to deal w/ the boredom of hell...

Um.... didn't do too much today. Lauren called this morning about the eMail she sent me and the letter delay. /_\;;; She can't even find a stamp!! XP Anyway we talked for a few long minutes and then I had to go and so... yeah. And then Ali started blabbering her mouth off about how she wanted to draw Yue from Cardcaptors so badly and so I went on the Internet to look for a decent pic of Yue for reference. It took me 3 hours... and I still couldn't find anything. Eventually I got called off by mom to go and fold more clothes. /_\;;;;;;;;; And then Ali took over the computer, but I didn't feel like doing any more searching... but I saved a lot of manga images I'm going to send to Crystal and Stephanie sometime when I can...

So I played Yoshi's Story. I continued to bash all of Sarah's scores on the Trial Mode. lol It was fun... lol then mom gave me mail from the mailbox... from no other better people than Crystal and Stephanie. ^_^ I decided to write back to them right away, starting with Crystal's letter this time. Um... the whole letter is about 1 1/2 pages long. Oo;; I wrote her a novel on food. XP Anyway, I still have to write to Stephanie and I'm going to draw them stuff later and then I'll send it all off on Monday, if not Tuesday.

Then we went shopping... I saw a lot of people tonight. O.O It was quite... unusual. First I saw Ashley D. near the crafts section in Wal-Mart. Then I saw Megan in the snacks section. Then I saw some other people and... yeah. Then I'm on the Internet at home and I'm talking to Izzy and looking for more CCS stuff. Now I gotta go to bed.

June 22, 2002

Got home...LATE . So... we woke up @ around 6 this morning and it would've been 5:30 had my alarm clock not been so f*cken stupid. >=( Um... Ali had a softball triple crown tournament and I think they played three games, and I think they won two of them. =/ I dunno, I wasn't watching. For the first game tho I was drawing stuff (I drew Suppi!! XP) for Crystal and Stephanie and I finished Stephanie's letter. My dad was crazy enough to bring out the portable tv and let us play n64 on it, and then little kiddies started forming a theater as they watched the magnificent Meh*Meh continue to smash high-scores on Yoshi's Story Trial Mode, as well as the little Miss Shower-Once-A-Week Sarah did her usual boring stuff on the game. T_T Even John (I think that's his name...), I think that's Amber L.'s brother, decided to watch w/ us. XP

Anyway, we even played Mario Tennis... me against all the visitor people!!!! XP One-at-a-time, actually, 'cause Sarah forgot two more controllers. T_T If she didn't forget those controllers we could've had a showdown of four people @ once!!! ^_^ Anyway, first John and I played a little tennis against eachother, me being Birdo, as usual. =P First he played as Donkey Kong, then... someone, and then Yoshi. lol He lost BADLY!!! Then I kinda "toyed" with the little kiddy competitors and turned lazy and let them have the edge at first, but then I beat them down... >=P Yea I know, I am so mean. Hahaha that was fun... then John wanted to play a 6-set game against me and at the 2nd set, we had to stop because of the battery. /_\ Why so soon... anyway, after that the kiddies went home and John left and then Sarah decided to be a bum and I got started on writing chapter 6 of Phaedra's Spirits. I finished writing and editing the chapter, and now I gotta go type it on the computer. ^_^

Between my little activities John comes by again and asks if I saw this one kid get a huge cut across his head from the swings. I was like, "No... what happened?!" And he told me that the kid was spinning the swings and stuff and the chain got him just above his forehead. Oo;; Oww... but John said that when the people looked at his head he said they saw a more bruise-like thingy. <=/ K... that's confusing. Oo;; And another time he asks if I have a napkin. XP

And then I had to chase Sarah from behind the trees and she was being annoying for the rest of the day. /_\;;;;; When the games ended for that day we finally got back on the road for home and we stopped by for take-out dinner and then dad stopped at Best Buy to get some camera stuff and came back from the store after what seemed like a decade had passed. T_T When I got home I immediately showered 'cause my hair was nappy from the wind today and I felt like I was covered in grass and bugs. XP

Anyway, tomorrow we're going back to the fields maybe all day depending on if CAHW wins their games. =/ So... I gotta go to bed early. Um... tomorrow I gotta decorate the envelope for Crystal and Stephanie. And right now I gotta go eMail Stephanie something that had to do w/ her letter...

June 23, 2002

Hoy, I need a new alarm clock. /_\;; Mine is killing my time... Um... went to Ali's 2nd-day softball tournament again, same park. -_- I brought my Game Boy and Pokémon Silver along w/ my binder this time, and most of the 1st game, which our team won, I played the Game Boy or used the cam. Then between that game and the 2nd I continued to play the Game Boy, and I also went to go get my binder out of the van so I could draw, and to keep the binder cool from heat. ^_^ I almost got run over by John and Michael while they were on their scooters. XP Um... when I got my binder out and started drawing Spinel-Sun, the little kiddies, Alex, Julia, Cora, and some other little boy I don't know, wanted me to draw little Suppi for them. ^_^ Suppi's cute.... um... I let them color the pics w/ my colored pencils. =P

Then I let them use my paper and write stuff and draw stuff and what they did was really really really cute for their age. The little boy drew a red yoshi!! ^.^ And Julia wrote a letter to her mom. =D Nice... and then the game was over, our team lost the third game but won the first two, and we took 2nd. <=P At least we qualified for the tournament in Colorado... thas right, we're going to Colorado in July!! XP I don't really wanna go, but the sight-seeing and crap... hell yeah! ^_^ So... now I'm home and stuff and... I think I'll add my new Pokémon team later...

June 24, 2002

Grrr... it was TOO HOT today and the heat is creeping into the house and frustrating us all damn. /_\;;; Um... I was on the computer almost the entire afternoon, about 3 hours again. XP I couldn't send Crystal's and Stephanie's letter because my dad forgot to give me the stamp. ^^;;; While I was on the Internet I was looking for stuff... I forgot. XP

And when I first got on I checked my eMail, as usual, and I got bored and checked the status of all the eMail I sent, and... most of them haven't been read yet. ><;; Then I came upon the eMail that I sent to Jerell and... its status was VERY disappointing. <=( He deleted it. I dunno if he read it or not but he deleted it. I dunno if he deletes all the mail he receives (I know I don't, I'm too lazy to do that) so I eMailed Crystal and Stephanie about it and I don't know how long it'll take to get a reply but I'm going to try not to be annoying and bug them w/ questions and I'm going to try not to go mad and stab another person w/ a sharpened pencil. Oo;; Um... Lauren hasn't been on lately either.

Between hours I was also playing on my Game Boy Pokémon Silver, as usual, training my new team. They're all at levels 42-43 right now, still training them. I don't cheat, so... it takes longer. XP And now I'm going to beg my dad for a stamp of $0.34 so I can send the letter off already. >_<;;;

June 25, 2002

Very tired and I feel miserable. /_\;;; My neck hurts badly and my back was aching last night. ><;; Anyway, last night before bed I talked to Crystal about my physical and mental pains. Damn, my neck HURTS!!!!! She was lol about my physical pain coming from a plastic teeball bat and she seemed shocked when I told her about Jerell deleting my eMail. O.O

Earlier I was checking stuff and I forgot what else, but I also decided to re-design the Gallery of Phaedran Arts and spread all the content into their own sub-sites the way I seperated the journal and the sprites. Um... after three hours I've finished the layout and a few pages, but I haven't moved anything to their own sites yet. I'm going to try to get to that tomorrow, but the computer needs some cooling down now. Fortunately, it's windy and sunny today so I think I'm going to get some rest from the new Poochie's Pad works and I'm going to go eat now and maybe go out and shoot some hoops, and then come back in and continue the work. I've been on all afternoon slouching (I need a desk chair...) and my neck REALLY hurts now so I gotta go.

June 26, 2002

Woohoo, Mommy made me happy today!!! XP Anyway, this morning I woke up around 10 and I found out Lauren called me while I was sleeping, and I didn't get the chance to call her back at the moment because of my normal morning routine, but after that she called and she talked about her letter-sending problems, and then after that she played on her new piano (and damn, she plays REALLY good!!!). I was really really really impressed. Then I had to go because mom had to go pay bills and go buy water.

After paying bills and buying water, we went to Big!Lots to look for a "new home" gift for Kevin and Stephanie's family, and while we were at Big!Lots, Ali got a new USA cap and I got... can you believe it? A huge, cute, red lobster doll!!! =^.^= It is so freakin cute, I begged for it!! XP My mommy let me have it!! ^_^ There was also a watermelon doll, an apple doll, and a palmtree and a fish doll, but I liked the lobster best. ^.^ Then we went to Rite-Aid and Ali and I were looking for temporary hair-streakers and we found them, but they were like, $6 (that's how much the lobster was) and I wanted pink and Ali wanted blue, and we couldn't agree on one color unfortunately, but we didn't need the streaks at the moment 'cause Crazy Hair day isn't until next April or May. T_T;; Oh well... then we bought six boxes of ice cream and went home.

Mom left us home so she could go to Wal-Mart, and when she got back Ali got a water-can to hold her water and Gatorade and stuff... and then Lauren called again and this time she needed an idea for drawing something realistic, and I said draw a devil and she decided to draw the angel, and I guess that's okay. I timed her and it took like... five or six minutes. She's going to send me the angel. ^_^ Then we had to go drop Ali off @ practice.

Ali wouldn't be home 'til 7 so when I got back around 5:30 I called Lauren back and at that time she was baking cookies (sugar cookies... yummy...) and telling me her little brother wouldn't stop trying to steal cookies off the trays it sounded funny they were arguing in the background. lol And we talked about cookies and things and then we started talking about drawings and what we did with them. Then Lauren asked "What did you do to the dragon picture you showed me on the last day of school?" and I kinda got confused 'cause at first I didn't remember the pic, but then I remembered and said, "I gave it to Jerell." and then Lauren was starting to use that flirty tone and I got annoyed. T_T People are taking things the wrong way these days... and then my dad came home and he had to use the phone, and so I had to hang up on Lauren.

But then I got back to work on Poochie's Pad and the rest of the subsites, and I completed SunShine and Rahna Forest and all the pages to Poochie's Pad have been completed. I uploaded all the stuff and Poochie's Pad is now on the Internet. While I was uploading, Izzy and Crystal were on the Internet as well and I was talking to both of them and Izzy wanted to know if my site was updated and I said "Yes" and I told Crystal about my new layout and ideas for the site's new looks and stuff and I complained that my site now looks like shit because all the stuff's gone from the main site to their own little sites. And then I told them both about my lobster doll, which I named Lucky, and how I'm going to use Lucky the lobster as a shield to protect me from Ali's evil smirking fish attacks. XP The conversations were filled with lols and it was so funny. Crystal turned the chat into a battle stadium announcement and omg it was so funny. lol I should draw a picture of that. lol Anyway, that's all the cute and funny stuff that's been going on, and I gotta go to bed now. Tomorrow I'm going to work on my new sub-site, Spoot Central. This is the colorful site where I moved my art and lits (writings).

I woke up late again. ><;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; Lauren's phone call ended up being my alarm, and I talked to her for about 30 minutes... T_T And then I had to go and do my morning routine again, as usual. And then I don't remember what happened.

But what was cool was I finally got the chance to draw on my white shirt!! ^_^ I wasn't really sure what to draw, but I finally had an idea and I drew Squeaker and a giant cherry!!! XP It looked tight when I finished, with the shading, the shadowing, and the shining. ^.^ I'm going to wear that to Krissa's and Christine's birthday party. =P And maybe on the first day of school... On the bottom of the shirt it says, "Does size matter?" lol Squeaker looks pissed at the cherry 'cause the cherry's about twice his size, and you know how naturally, cherries are much smaller than squirrels. lol I still have three pink shirts and a blue shirt to draw on, but I'll wait on that. Ali got started on her shirt, and she already inked "Asian Pride" on the front, with a penguin sitting on the Asian word. lol But we don't have the right ink colors to color her shirt, so she stopped and we both aggreed that we will try to earn $5 each to buy another set of markers. ^_^ We have money, but I got like, 20-dollar bills and Ali has a 10. Oo;;;;

Then I went on the computer around 3 and started working on the art galleries of Spoot Central. =P It's coming out okay so far. I already finished four art galleries and I have two more to go. ^_^ Then I went on the Internet to go and rinse out my account on Tripod, and... it's a lot more organized. XP I talked to Izzy while I was on, and I ate cookies and went "drunk" like Suppi again. XP While I was on I looked for the scripts of the Cardcaptors episodes that I missed (damn I missed A LOT) and then I got off because Ali wanted to go on. Anyway, I gotta go eat now.

I got a surprise awakening alarm this morning again. ><;;; I DEFINITELY need a new alarm clock. Anyway, this morning I found out we were going to the lake with Kevin, Stephanie, James, Natalie, Anthony & Danielle, and Paula (I dunno who she is, but Ali does) and so I got dressed quickly and woke Ali up, and then helped make snacks and mom left to Albertsons to get some missing things and while Ali, Sarah, and I waited we played Mario Party. ^.^ When mom came, though, we went and practically shot like streaks from room to room, fixing things, boiling taquitos, baking bread, boiling corn... etc. Ali and I put a ton of soda cans in the ice chest... and yep. XP

When we got to the lake, we pretty much started off the day in the water. =| I didn't really feel like going that deep, but... I ended up doing so because Sarah was floating around in the floating ring thing and so I had to watch. After a short while I stopped because my boardshorts seemed to be bothering me (the last time I used them they didn't...). After a while of watching w/ amusement Anthony and Paula and some other person who's name is also Anthony Oo;;; came and Stephanie and Ali decided to make sand castles (it's a past time between our families) and I helped make the moat around the castle using the lake water. ^_^ I so clever... XP While I constructed the moat, Ali and Steph and Danielle went scouting for twigs and sticks and leaves, and when they got back they also found a huge seagull feather and stuck it on the top of the castle. lol It's the flag.

Then after a while I got a little bored and road the scooter near the cement near the bathrooms and parking lots and picnic areas, and then Ali came and took the scooter. After that we plucked these weird-looking spikey green things... like several handfuls, and then we ran over to the water where everyone else was swimming, and we threw the green things at them and oh it was so funny, the little Anthony got hit twice! lol The guys have a reason to be afraid of Ali 'cause she hurts. lol After that I filmed stuff on the cam and then I took a break and sat and watched the ppl swimming. I didn't feel regret, it was funny watching. lol

And then we all went home, 'cept Kevin and Stephanie and James, who got dropped off @ our house because they were supposed to go to a youth thing at their church, and going straight home was pointless with the time they had. Anyway, I was busy zipping through the rooms at home trying to fix things back up again, drying clothes, putting food away, etc. Then we played Resident Evil 2 and it was really interesting but scary, 'cause James wanted to play it and it was freaky. Oo;;; XP Oo;;; Ali was all squeezing Lucky (the new lobster) with anxiety when the skin-less eye-less zombie appeared. lol I was inking my owl picture I started last night so it wasn't a big problem, but still, I'm not playing RE2 nor is Ali. Then it turned out James, Kevin, and Stephanie were tired from the lake and didn't feel like going to the youth thing so they stayed with us for the rest of the day and their mom went with Natalie to the thing.

Most of the rest of the day we were playing video games. First it was Resident Evil 2, then... Tekken 2, and I decided to play Zelda64 w/ Sarah to show her how to beat Volvagia (so easy! XP). Then Steph, me and Sarah played Mario Party and I won, as usual, and then we went looking for Mario Tennis which Sarah misplaced, and we found it after a long few minutes. Then James, Steph, Kev, and I were playing it and I was winning all matches. What was pretty funny though was that on the doubles matches, Steph wanted to be on my team but Kev ended up putting me on his team (I dunno... maybe it's because I'm the most skilled?) and Steph kinda got pissed. lol Anyhoo, I whooped them all. lol

Then they had to go and we all went to drop them off at home, and while we were taking them back in this huge 12-seat vanpool, I dunno what was going on in the seats behind me (Steph and Kev were in the seats behind mine and Ali's, James was in the very back), but there was a lot of giggling and laughing. =/ Freaky. And then I saw James grab Steph's arm and make it touch Ali's lol. Then while I was facing forward, I don't know if James controlled him that time but Kevin (who's the one who sat right behind me) slapped my head. ><;;; Then Kev and James started singing along with the songs on the radio and omg it was so funny Ali and I and Steph we were trying to block the sound of their voices. lol Ali was yapping about it being a good thing they're not in choir. lol

Then we got home and Steph and Kev got slapped with Lucky. lol I brought him on the trip, too. lol I told James never to sing again. lol I was j/k though. Then we went home and when we got home I finally showered and I feel much better now. ^.^ I gotta go 'cause it was 12:15am PST when I typed this, so ciao!
