3 Awsome Things (July)
Hair Dye: (n) A special sort of substance that changes the color of one's hair. For the best results, I suggest that one bleaches one's hair first, unless one is blond, in which case one's hair is already light enough for the dye to have an effect.
Yeah, my hair has purple streaks now. This actually happened a couple weeks ago thanks to a certain Kenneth Lee. I'll have to find a picture that captures the amazingness of my hair...
Hmmm...

3 Awesome Things (June)
Summer is technically here now, but alas, Marin weather hath been a tad moody this past season. Only this morning 'twas foggy and cold in Mill Valley and San Anselmo, however the day cleared up and the sun broke through the clouds for the afternoon. 'Twas lovely indeed.
Penguin: (n) An upright web-footed seabird with contrasting black and white feathers that cannot fly but uses its flipper-shaped wings for swimming. Native to: cold regions of the southern hemisphere (1)
Penguins are just cute and cuddly and they can't fly but they do their flying in the water man. Have you ever seen a penguin swim? Neither have I, but I've seen videos and it's awesome!! I know penguins don't really go with summer, but that's okay. They still rock some socks.
Balloon: (n) 1. A small colored bag made of thin rubber or plastic that is inflated with air or helium and used as a toy or decoration 2. An extremely large bag filled with a lighter-than-air gas and used as a form of air transport, carrying passengers or equipment in a suspended basket or gondola 3. A glass with a large rounded bowl, used for drinking brandy (1)
Balloons are colorful and if you inhale the helium your voice goes all high and you sound like a chipmunk would sound if chipmunks could talk... And then there are those clowns that can take a balloon and turn it into a dog. That's perty nifty if you ask me. Though clowns are kinda scary... (o.0)
So this woman doesn't look like a clown but she's still freaky, so sorry about that... and the annoying add... just mute your computer or something. Look, now you can make monkeys out of balloons!! YAAY!!!

Those Crazy Chinese People...
ANYHOO, as most Chinese restaurants do, they gave us fortune cookies after our meal. Mine was something like "Big changes await you," but my sister's cookie was empty. EMPTY. I always thought it was supposed to be a bad omen or something, like "YOU DID NOT GET FORTUNE THEREFORE YOU WILL DIE IN SEVEN DAYS" type thing.
So I asked the waitress, "What does it mean when your cookie is empty?"
She replies: "Oh, it doesn't mean anything. Fortune cookies are just for fun."
.........
I feel disillusioned. Betrayed. Like all my hopes have been crushed... My faith in the world is gone.

Good Family Fun... In Nepal
Omg. Mind boggling, ain't it? Because I'm Texan.
Anyhoo, pictures and stories to come once I get home, since my sister wants to go to bed now and she's making fun of my blogger-osity. I hope to see my amigos soon! If I don't die.

ouch groan WAFFLES!
I heard about Strobe 3 Strobes ago (this was the fifth Strobe) but I could never go for random and evil reasons, but this time I went!! So my life is complete for now.
Things I gained: a dance with 9 different boys (at least 3 of them were creepers though), a bead from some random girl's bracelet that got caught on my shirt, several glowsticks that got stolen or lost somehow, and then one of the boys I danced with called me the best dancer there that night! In case that boy happens to be reading this (unlikely), THANK YOU!! Now I know I don't look like a flailing chicken when I dance, because I was never sure...
The theme for the dance was wardrobe malfunction, so naturally there were a bunch of girls wearing underwear-like, shiny spandex with fishnets. Thank you, so much. I really wanted to see that. At least it was dark and there were plenty of distracting lights (^o^)v
In line, my sister met someone and they became best buddies at the dance so the new friend is at my house right now. On the way home she managed to convince my mom to go to Safeway to buy toaster strudel and chocolate-chip waffles, so I had waffles. WOOT WOOT!!
So I'm going to bed now. I feel kinda like a loser for blogging right after a dance, but oh well. Now you know I do actually have a life... sometimes... <(o.O;)>

3 Awesome Things (April)
Spring is a happy time of year, mainly because my birthday is in spring, but also because everything is green and there are colorful flowers in the hills and people wear white and only weirdies wear black and it's all so colorful and happy! Some people get allergies, and that's not fun, but that's what allergy medicine is for!! WOOHOO!! Okay, here's some Vivaldi for you:
Sunshowers are often associated with weddings between different types of animals, from elves to foxes and bears. For some reason, in America sunshowers mean that the devil is beating his wife... (3) Pleasant thought, isn't it?
I also heard somewhere that if you walk out into a sunshower and you look at your reflection in a mirror, you can see your future. I haven't gotten around to trying that yet, but when I do I'll keep you posted.
Pencil: (n) A thin cylindrical instrument used for drawing or writing. It consists of a rod of graphite or some other erasable marking material inside a wooden or metal shaft. (1)
Pencils are amazing because they come in all different colors and you can do a lot with them (artistically speaking). I use them for drawing and writing, which is what they are mostly used for. I like mechanical pencils the best; you don't have to sharpen them, they aren't all icky and scratchy like regular pencils, and they come in all sorts of pretty colors!! Regular pencils are cool too...

CRAAAAASH and then fall... o(_ _o)
Yeah. I have visitors from Malaysia and Sweden. How awesome is that?! There's this cool thing on google that lets you track what countries people visit your site from. It's called Google Analytics. It's perty nifty, I must say. Beware, it also makes you sad. Yesterday I had 3 visits... <(T_T)> But since I made this blog I've had 67 visits from 34 different people! YAY!! Don't worry, this thinger doesn't give me personal info, only your name, address, IP address, first language, personal tastes and all the websites you've ever visited in your life. Just kidding :P It only gives me what city you live in, so it wouldn't be very practical for me to stalk you.
Anyhoo, I have to go do some math homework. YAY!! o(_ _o) = falls down (theoretically speaking).

Be Careful Out in Cyberspace
Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy
I think that this is a major issue today because no one realizes just how public the internet is. Anything you put on the internet can be found by your friends, your teachers, your employers, anybody really, and what you put on the internet can stay there forever. It is so easy for someone to record an IM conversation without you even knowing it by simply copy-pasting it to Word, and people can take pictures of their computer screens with the press of a button. So next time you or your friend decides to put suggestive pictures on the internet, remember that anyone can see it and that it can be found years into the future. Do you want your grandchildren to see pictures of you when you were drunk and guzzling beer with a see-through white shirt on? I wouldn't think so.
So please, think about it. Cyberspace is dangerous, and everybody knows that. But with the onset of Facebook and blogging, nothing is safe. Remember that a simple photo can really screw you over.
Three Awesome Things (March)
1: Waffle (noun) A thick light pancake, crisp on the outside, that is baked in a waffle iron to give a pattern of indentations on both sides (1)
A good waffle has a crispy layer of goodness on the outside while still having a layer of fluffy delight beneath. These beauties taste delicious with maple syrup or butter and sugar. They taste best when warm and fresh out of the toaster/oven. Since they can be addicting (I know out of personal experience), I suggest buying organic healthy ones. They still taste scrumptious, and you don't feel guilty about the DELICIOUS AWESOME-NESS of a waffle.
2: Rainbow (noun) An arc of light separated into bands of color that appears when the Sun's rays are refracted and reflected by drops of mist or rain. The colors of the rainbow are conventionally said to be red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet (1)
(2)
3: Emo Kid (noun) I've looked this up and apparently there are two types of emo kids, fake emo kids and true emo kids. A true emo kid pretty much does whatever the hell they want because they want to, but are very in touch with their feelings. They like good music, good lyrics, poetry, and they like finding the deeper meanings of the world. A fake emo kid is a Hot-Topic baby: one who doesn't have any HUGE problems but has emotional difficulties (most often due to spoiling by the parental unit) and so creates problems. Fake emos like to draw attention to these created problems by practicing how to write suicide notes, cutting themselves, and other such rebellious actions.
Both types dress similarly, the only difference is where the clothes come from. Most emo kids wear tight, dark jeans, studded accessories, thick-rimmed glasses (usually black), band t-shirts in dark colors, and they usually style their hair in this flippy hair-do (3) that's usually dyed black. Fake emo kids will dress in mostly Hot-Topic brand clothing (hence the nickname of Hot-Topic baby). Real emo kids will get their clothes from wherever the hell they feel like.
Then there are ninja emo kids: emo kids that don't immediately look like emo kids, but you find out later that they are suicidal and need serious help. While they are harder to spot, once you get to know them you'll discover their true identity.
Summary: Fake emo kids = Hot-Topic babies, looking to be "cool"
Real emo kids look the same, but are looking to be themselves
Now, all emo kids are sensitive, emotional, and dramatic and extremely fun to mess with (I know from personal experience). Next time you see one, try waving or hugging them. They'll glare at you, the you'll laugh, and then they'll be confused as you walk away. Pure, awkward fun.
((If you are not a young, impressionable child, I suggest going to YouTube and searching for the username "adamandandrewmusic" and taking a look at their video "Emo Kid." But if you or your parents will get mad at naughty words, I suggest you stay away. FAR away. It's funny though.))

And so it begins...
You are reading this, which means one of two things: you're bored (as in EXTREMELY bored), or you know me and are reading this out of loyalty (even though you might not want to...). Or perhaps you just want to because you can. Well, thank you for reading my first post. I have a few promises for you:
ONE: I will not be one of those girls who talks about herself in such a way that it's boring and kind of stupid. [disclaimer: this blog is obviously about me, so you'll have to deal with some of that, but this will NOT be a public diary. I do keep a diary, but no one is allowed to read that until I'm dead.] **
TWO: I will be positive at all times, mainly because college admissions, future employers, and other random people will be reading this. I always want to give a good impression! [Besides, pessimism gets on my nerves.]
THREE: This will be a blog of stories, advice, pictures, videos, and other random things that I hope you will find amusing enough to read. I can't guarantee that you'll understand it all, though...
FOUR: There is no four, but four lines can make a square or a parallelogram, and those are cool...
** Here's a good video you should watch:
