Oh yea, I got my computer back last weekend. Whew! It's fixed!
Life was dull without it.
Schedule might start killing me soon. Tennis practice starting, games soon. Engineering is gonna start to probably take over all my after school time. And second semester means APs! What a load of fun.
But there's one thing that's very awesome: I don't have Saturday tutor anymore!! YAYYY!!!
You don't understand how happy I am. I used to trudge along my Saturdays like a living zombie. Wake up at 8 for Engineering, leave at 12 to go to Peer9 and rule with an iron first, and then after Peer9 leave immediately for tutor until like 9:30. Afterwards, I usually hung out with the guys, but it's 9:30, come on. What can I possibly do?
But now, my reign of terror at peer9 is over, and brian is the new president! you know what that means? I don't need to go anymore! yayyy (though no more free hours =[).
But that only means that I get to stay later for Engineering. But, no tutor! NO SEVEN HOUR TUTOR OF DEATH AND DESTRUCTION. MY SATURDAYS ARE FREE AGAIN!!
I usually hate hanging out in the parking lot, which seems to happen often. However, I am excited to hang out in the library parking lot. I've never done it before, because tutor started before I ever had the chance to. Saturdays are free! nah nah nah!!
Man, you don't ever really miss something `til you don't have it anymore. It's true.
Especially when it's a whole day of freedom like that. =)=)=)

Most Expensive Music Video of All Time
For the longest time the winner was "Scream" by Michael Jackson, coming in at 7 million dollars. The nearest predecessor was Puff Daddy's "Victory" at 2.7 million. Michael Jackson beat him about by almost 3 times.
That of course, was until Madonna came along and made "Die Another Day", the theme song to the James Bond movie called, obviously, "Die Another Day". It was a pretty cool video, with an awesome action scene and lots of bouncing JAMBAS.
I thought that was it... until today. And you'll never guess what it is. It's $13 million. A whole thirteen million, almost two times Michael Jackson's amount. And the craziest thing is, there's no special effects in this video at all. And its the first American music video ever to be filmed entirely in the People's Republic of China.
What is it you ask?
Why, 30 Seconds to Mars: "From Yesterday".
I know. I'm amazed too.

You only live once.
I'm going to go crazy and do everything I can to make my high school years worth remembering.
Screw everyone else.

If only all parents were lawyers..
I'm going to lose regardless, but I'd feel a lot better about if if their arguments actually had any merit to them.
Note to self: Find better ways to vent anger when stress ball just doesn't cut it.
Note to self: Get stress ball back from Brian's house.
When angry, count to four. When very angry, swear

Since losing my computer to that tragic soda spill...
I've been using my time more productively. In fact, the only time when I haven't been using my time productively would be when I get my sister's computer. For example, right now.
I find posting productive, but not the other things I do. I was planning on doing some crazy Shalom hw yesterday (there's certainly no shortage of that), but instead I burned a good 3-4 hours on my sister's computer.
I think not having my laptop is actually turning out better for my life. Except that its obscenely inconvenient of course, with finals and projects coming around. I really do need a computer sometimes. What a dilemma.
What's the middle ground?
On another interesting but otherwise irrelevant note, Brawl got pushed back to March 9 today. What a letdown.
Our bodies were built for comfort, not for speed.

Ray Bradbury
Sucks.
His writing style sucks, it makes no sense, it has no clear point, and I hate reading him.
Every year I come back to him and think "Hey, let's give him another chance. I'm sure I'll like him this time around." And every year it FAILS.
I like Shakesphere a lot better than him. At least Shakesphere actually has stuff he writes about.
Bradbury just makes up a bunch of nonsense.
That which does not kill you, can only make you stronger.
That which does not kill you, will probably severely maim and cause permanent disability.

I think...
That I'm turning meaner lately.
And more tempermental. The stress ball should help, along with lots of sleep. I hope.
Sometimes I wonder what life would be like if I didn't quit Cross Country for year-round tennis. I'd probably be a lot more fit, that's for sure. And skinnier....
I have learned something over the course of high school so far. That is this: Absence is best.
And I think I will try and find the balance between just saying what I think (which doesn't happen nearly as often as one might expect), and keeping quiet if I have nothing relevant to add. What a fickle subject.
You can't change the past, but you can ruin the present by worrying about the future.

Christmas (presents)
I gave people presents for Christmas this year.
Or more specifically, Alex, Brian, and I went shopping together. It happened maybe a week or so before Christmas, I think the weekend before the last week of school before break.
It was a very novel experience, being my first time and all. I have never gotten presents for anyone, ever. Don't really know why, I'm just not into that sort of stuff I guess. Not that kind of person. Well, this year I did it.
We went to the mall and came up with brilliant ideas for presents for people. I won't list them, because some of them weren't used and maybe next year, who knows =)
Anyway, we only got things for close friends to keep things cuter. It was about halfway through and 80 dollars down (each; we split the bill) that we realized that
1. We had to get cheaper shit.
2. We had too many close friends.
Seriously, maybe like a $20-40 present might not seem to cost a lot when you split it 3 ways, it adds up. Fast.
Anyway, here's a list of the booty. The ones I paid for anyway. Each present was uniquely chosen to match the receiver. PERSONALLY chosen. =)
Abe- Big Stuffed Mushroom
Daniel- Stuffed Mushroom
Chris- Kon Stuffed Doll / Life 101
Edward- Nuns Having Fun calendar / 98 Things a Woman Should Do In Her Lifetime
Hank- Yoshi Car Decoration / Yoshi slippers
Jon Tso- Big pair of Scooby-Doo pajama bottoms
Wallis- Black G-UNIT Jacket
Chien- Superman $$ Hoodie with full hood zipper
Jerry- Playboy robes and boxer
Vincent- Two pairs of Playboy boxers
Ryan- Chippendales Calendar
Claire- Box of Sees Candy
I don't think I forgot anyone... I hope.
Oh yea, I read The Princess Bride the book. It was pretty god.
But still, (and I don't think I ever said this before in my life. I predict it will be a LONG LONG time before I say it again) I prefer the movie over the book.
The movie just has that flair to it, its beautiful.
Oh yea, and I forgot to end my last post with a random insightful profound quote about life or other humorous thing. I'll edit that in right now.
Oh no! I've forgotten it for like 4 posts already. CHANGES MUST BE MADE!!!
Nothing in life is always wrong. Even a broken clock works twice a day.

New Years Resolutions
Here is the list, without the reasons and long rambling behind it. You can find those elsewhere[x].
Every new year people make resolutions to change aspects of themselves they believe are negative. The majority of people revert back to how they were before and feel like failures. This year I challenge you to a new resolution. I challenge you to just be yourself.
- Work out.
- Make varsity tennis.
- Get my damn black belt already.
- Avoid major incidents that may cause unncessary stress and "I hate my life" moments while crying face down in my pillow.
- Get a better SAT II score.
- Work harder in Engineering.
- Get a 5 on AP Calc BC Test.
- Stop being tempermental.
- Live Life.
- Get a job.
- Stop being a BGH.
- Attend a concert and ROCK OUT.
