I'm baaaaa~aaacckkkk!!!!

Sorry for the long wait, my faithful blog readers, but i have been uber busy and tired, so when i'm not working on something i'm trying to sleep, which doesn't leave any time for blogs.

But, tonight, i have done everything but Am Hist, which i am desterately trying to avoid, so i have *plenty* of time to blog. So here goes. I think i'm going to go in reverse chronological order.

Ye gods and daemons, John has started a blog, finally.

Had Quiz Bowl today, yay! It went well, methinks. We didn't do spectacularly, but we did well enough. St. Freds beat us, but that;s ok, they have (insert here, i have no idea how to spell his name. Beejal?). So, i think we ended in the top eight, which isnt too bad, but if we hadn't had those few sucky quesitons on that last game, we would have easily won and gotten at least a trophy. *sigh* Oh well. I saw whatshisname from L.E.G.O.S there. I'll think of his name in a minute. I know it, i really do. After the we were eliminated, Doc dropped me off at Wal-Mart so my brother could pick me up, because i wouldn't let him drive me back to my house since it would be more convenient for them to drop me off and go home. Well. More acurately, it was less trouble for my brother to pick me up than for them to drop me off at my house and then go home. At least they didn't get a flat tire this time. And the buzzer system was *in* the trunk, not on the side of the highway.

Don't ask.

In the car, my brother told me that something about Columbia, and i thought maybe the country had made some kind of declaration concerning the U.S. or something. Then he said it had burned up, and i was thinking, "wow, they must have said something bad. God struck them down with fire!!" and i'm picturing burning coffeebeans and cracked coffeecups, and the ghost of the columbian coffee guy (who died a few years ago) and i almost tell my brother, "burn *down*, not burn *up*."

Then i eventually figure out he means the shuttle. Wow. All seven crew members died. And it was only sixteen minutes from landing. Its terrible, but i'm not going to sprout an eulogy right at this moment.

By the way, Happy Chinese New Year!

I got a filing cabinet! Yay for me!!! It�s for my college stuff, apps and scholarships and all that, so now its all nice and neat in their own little folders. I think Courtney passed her neat-freak-ness on to me from the Student Council trip� -_-*

I need to find out the actual word for that so I can stop using neat-freak. Or at least use them interchangeably�

School is, wow, can you spell hectic? That American History project, while it isn�t particularly time consuming, at least not as much as some OTHER stuff I�ve had to do, it *is* yet *another* thing I have to add to my already expansive to-do list. At least I don�t have any more Scarlet Letter essays to write, but hey, I get to look forward to starting a term paper this Monday! Catch the sarcasm mixed with mounds of NON-enthusiasm, people. It�s really hard to miss.

But, Advanced (snicker) Art is going well. I�m liking the painting I�m doing, even tho I really want to turn it more anime style than real-life. I may get away with that, we�ll have to see. I�m really impressed with Jessica�s painting, and by extension, with oil paints, because neither one of us has ever worked with them before, and I really like the look she, an oil-paint amateur like myself, is getting with apparent ease.

Holy gods, I have a MockTrial meeting tomorrow�

I completely forgot.

�oops�

-_- *sigh*

Anyway. Where was I.

Alrighty, Student Council Convention.

It was lots of fun. Read the details I won�t go in to right this moment, which means probably never, because I am the aforementioned Very Busy Half-Asian Girl. (I think there is a need for a hyphen, just to expound that I am not a half-person, I just have one Asian parent)

As it is, I think I�ll just give some quotes from the trip, to be put in the Student Council Scrapbook. (note: if I ask any of you some ideas for the scrapbook, remind me that I have quotes for the specific purpose of putting them in the scrapbook and that I have the quotes archived on my blog so I will not have to dig through those scraps of paper in my purse)

�Tell me a unicorn joke.� -a (teenage, as in 16 or 17 year old) girl on the elevator

�Why does a mermaid wear seashells?� -volunteer girl from the audience telling a joke on the platform
�It�s clean!� someone trying to keep concerned people at ease.
�NO, WHY?!� alana
�because b is too small, and d�s fall right off.�
��ah ha ha ha ha� condescending smirks� river oaks council

�I�m wearing new underwear.� guy in the hallway, courtesy annA

�Bradley�s not my name. I just wear the nametag.� -guy, not Bradley, who worked at Marble Slab (delicious ice cream, by the way. I�d never been to one before.)

�Happy people don�t kill their husbands� - I understand that this is an actual line in the movie, however, I have not seen the movie, so this came off as a really random and ditzy thing to say in a campaigning speech. I don�t know, it sounded really funny to me. I was embarrassed for her, really I was. Her being the girl who said the quote.

��the Fro��

�It�s been fun, y�all.� -the current president of the MPSA SC

�ROCK ON!!!� -the unofficial nominator for one of the VP candidates. The candidate was disqualified because only presidential candidates can have nominating speeches. I thought that was humorous. Although her impersonations were indeed hilarious, she was very annoying. She seriously needed a padded room with fingerpaints.

�No, it was worse because I stayed up all night waiting for you to sneak out and you didn�t. I could have slept!� -woman (I assume sponsor?) to a student as we were leaving the convention, in the hallway.

�I�ll bust your cyst!� Alana to Mary outside Old Navy. They were kicking, growling, baring teeth, etc, and just play fighting in general. They were getting a LOT of strange looks.


Scenes:
At the dance, some guy came up to Kalena and started dancing with her, against her back. She just walked out from under him, and he actually fell sitting on the floor. It was funny, and I think I got it on camera. The guy kept on dancing, and Kalena had the weirdest look on her face, which made it hilarious. The guy then went to dance with alana and Ashley.

At the Devotion after the dance, some people were telling their favorite bible verses, but a lot of the couldn�t remember the exact location of the verses, which resulted in much bible-flinging. They just chunked the bible to whomever needed it next. So, some girl in the front row had it and a guy sitting in the row behind me and about three seats to my left wanted it. So the girl in the front row gets ready to throw it, but Mr. Secretary (who was at the end of our row) told her not to he would get it. Everyone else has their arms raised, ready to block any incoming holy projectiles. The girl is all, �Oh, its ok, I can make it,� and flings The Good Book. I hope to goodness she isn�t on any softball or basketball team unless its on the team against my school, because she was off about 45 degrees and three feet, and hit Anna, who was sitting on my right. Poor Anna. Assaulted by a Bible.

Mary stepped into an unpleasant, smelly mess in the mall. We saw her step in it, so we knew she hadn�t stepped into it outside the mall. We were wondering how a dog might have done that inside the mall, and laughing at Mary, though laughing sympathetically. The woman at the booth nearby was like, �well, we don�t have dogs, but we have babies�� It was vastly amusing.

I am going to try to recreate the Little Asian Girl that Could for everyone, so that might be here by tomorrow... or not...

till then, ja neh everyone!
