Oh-Six

Prom was hella fun. Except we were eating dinner for two hours and then realized, "Oh hey, we only have 2 hours left to do shit." The food wasn't all that great though. In fact, I liked the salad more than the chicken. Eric looked pretty damn good in a white tux. XD It was awesome. Robin had the exact same tux and we were in the same limo! God. Everyone was so pretty! The Mark Hopkins Hotel is niiiiice.

And then the after party was just kinda weird. I was one of the few people who was sober (yes, that's right. Living is a good thing) and just spectating all these drunk people was really awkward. It was fun to watch though. It's just kinda… Strange. I don't really care if people drink because it's their decision, but I guess I was surprised by how retarded large crowds of teenagers are when they're drunk.

I'm pretty tired. I'll finish this when I wake up.

Countdown

PROM IS TODAY, AHHHHHH!!!

Can you tell I'm freaking out?

I don't remember freaking out this much freshman year. But then again, it wasn't my prom and I didn't have to worry much about preparation because I just wore the dress I had for my 8th grade graduation dance (which is ugly, now that I look at it) and Michelle did my hair (which was pretty painful, but it was pretty) and Elise did my make-up.

This is my To-Do list:

Clear memory card
Batteries in camera
Clean self emaculately
Shave
Pluck eyebrows
Lotion
Clean glasses
Brush teeth like crazy
Go to Michelle's
Get hair and nails done
Go to Nadia's
Get make-up done
Pick up boutonniere (Mine and Wendy's)
Remind Annie to pick up boutonniere
Get home and dress up
Foundation on tan lines
Put phone in purse
Money $$$
Leave house at around 6:10 to Mara's

In the purse:
Camera
Cell phone
Money
Batteries
Foundation

Don't forget:
Necklace
Boutonniere

I hope nothing minor-that-could-ruin-it sort of something happens. Like chipping a nail. Any other day, I wouldn't give a goddamn. But after I took extra extreme care to keep everything orderly and nice… Oooh man, I'll be so pissed.

. . .PROM IS TODAY!!!

I need to sleep. 

Casar

So, I'm going to Japan from July 17th to August 10th.

I remembered my uncle Yoshitaka is getting married this summer.

He's getting married on July 2nd.

AUGH, NOOOO!! ;_; I wanna go to his wedding… I've never been to one and it's uncle Yoshitaka! Damnit… Just extend it to July 19th…

PROM IS TOMORROW, HOLY SHIT, AHHHH!!! 

Last…

People are graduating left and right. Prom is this weekend. Oh my god… So unreal.

Congratulations to Shane for graduating today!

Damn, I went shopping for hella stuff and spent like $60. Well, I lent $30 to Annie. But I'm tired.

I'm almost all ready for prom. Oh my god, it's on Sunday… I'm freaking out. 

Kablam.

I'm talking to two people who are the people I hate talking to most, at the same time. I'm just about ready to shoot myself. Why do I have this stupid inability to block people and tell them to shove off?! Seriously, I'm getting so irritated…

And now, this other guy is dumping his problems on me.

I don't mind helping people with their issues. I really don't, in fact, I like knowing that they're coming to me for assistance. But when they do it constantly and refuse to return the favor… Ugh.

MOTHER@!%@^#&%&@##!!

*Smacks head against desk and stays there* I'll be fine, just gimme a minute…

Nande nannimo kawattenaino? Mou owari no hazu nano ni… Dou natten dayo…

———— 

1 month! :D Just knowing that makes my day. Shane fell asleep on the phone again. XD Haha, it's funny and adorable. The poor boy had such a busy day.

Speaking of sleep, I'm getting really sleepy…

 Today was a weird day. First, I wore the deer shirt today. 

 Yeah, this one. We had a debate about it during brunch in art. I don't know if it's deer, reindeer, or caribou, which have been the guesses so far. Then Mrs. Warner says, "It's an elk orgy. See, that one and that one have their butts touching and that one is on the other one…" And we all laughed and then Serena was pointing another elk out and poked my boob. I immediately slapped her arm really hard. XD Woops… But c'mon… Don't touch my boobs… (BOBS1!!/1)

I love this shirt. It makes me laugh. XD

The slideshow for this year sucked. The beginning was really awesome, so we got our hopes up. But no… It was pretty lame. The worst slideshow I've seen out of the 3 slideshows I've seen. (They didn't make one freshman year) Afterschool, Wendy and I walked to the floral shop on 4th and pre-ordered boutonnieres. I don't know anything about things like that, so I picked out a creamy white with blue ribbon. (White tux!! XDD Jesus, it cracks me up) I called Erik about the corsage and it was kinda awkward. "I ordered your boutonniere. You better be getting me a corsage." Well, I didn't say that, but yeah. As we were walking to the shop, 3 punk skater dudes were standing in front of the old music store and as we passed by, one of them was like, "Hey baby". We just kept walking, but what the fuck. Some people are so rude.

Wendy and I ran into Emily and her boyfriend, Josh. It was nice talking to her. I miss talking to her cuz she's a funny person.

It's almost time to graduate and say goodbye to all the people I grew up with… That's the part that's killing me. I know I'll keep in touch with my close friends, but what about just regular friends that are fun to be around? There's a lot of people that I'm gonna miss.

I don't wanna grow up. D:

Daruma-san~ Daruma-san…

This morning, I woke up, feeling so so so tired. I don't know why. And ugh, I hate retainers.

Man, I never knew the Physics Olympics were so boring.

We went to see it since it's being held at our school this year and so, in AP Bio, we just went to see. Though, not much happened. Y was working on her art final… Jesus, she does everything quite literally, last minute. It really makes me nervous. Annie came and we talked about the plan for prom and then Y started talking about how the Mona Lisa sucks and it shouldn't be a famous painting and then Annie chipped in and said they're so boring and blah blah. I knew I would go on a rant about art, so I just left the fools. XD Betty understands art. We talked about it and she's like, "Yeah, it might not be the most exciting thing ever, but you still gotta appreciate it because it takes so much time and effort." I heart Betty.

So we saw Don Juan (Er, Josh) and started talking to him. Man, he is tall. I haven't seen him in a while. We also saw… Chris… B-something, Lacy's prom date. He didn't seem very enthused about going to prom with Lacy, but Josh explained that he's always like that. o_o Funky. So we walked around the quad with Josh and Jason and talked about crack dealers at TL. XD God, that school's just weird.

Then we talked about how SR's ghetto and shitty, but I really don't think so. We're actually pretty goddamn rich and our school is huge. The education's not quite the best, worst in the county, but that's not saying much. The bar is set pretty high around here. We're the ghetto-ist school in the county. But again, that's not saying much because it's like the second most expensive county to live in the nation or something like that. It really irks me when people complain about our school when it comes to being poor because my god, have you seen other schools outside of this county?! Seriously, quit yer bitching, we have it HELLA good.

Who am I talking to?

I hate Spanish. The only reason I'm even going anymore is because I can't afford anymore unexcused absences.

Y was still working on her final during lunch. I ended up doing quite a bit on her influenced piece of art. XD She's like, "This is the best piece I didn't even do!" I read the report and I was quite flattered. :) She wrote about the AP Art show, but she didn't really write about the other AP Art kids. ;_; I was so very flattered.

Erik (Eric? Gah) is so stupid. Oh, I found out he got a white tux. XDD Ahahaha! I can't believe he actually got it. Erik, Robin, and Tyler and I were talking about prom. And then I was like, "Aw shit, I gotta buy you a boutonniere." and he said, "What's that?" so I explained, "You know, guys buy girls corsages, girls buy guys boutonnieres." And he goes and says, "Oh, do I have to buy you a corsage?" I slapped him, Robin smacked him, and Tyler hit him really hard and we all yelled at him for being an idiot. -_-; Jesus.

Robin said that we might go to Marcus' party after prom if he has one, but that's kinda weird. Well, maybe that's just me. I don't get into the whole high school party scene. Ehhh. And Alex/Omar is going in the limo with us?! Wtf. This will be interesting.

Shane's graduating this Friday… Duuuude… Crazy. He fell asleep on the phone again, even though he said he'd stay up until I finished my homework. XD I knew he would fall asleep. Awwww…

Music: FLOW - Party Crazy

Payne’s Gray

D: My dad just asked me, "So when are you gonna learn how to cook?" Man… It really does feel absolutely pathetic to not know how to cook when your dad is a chef.

Today was the LAST A-day, EVER. I didn't realize it until Simey (aka, Mr. Simenstad) said, "Okay kids, this is one of the rare days that I read you guys the bulletin" and then I thought about it… The days just fly by and before we know it, we'll be out of high school…

Simenstad is so weird. Anabel and Mayra were talking about something and he always eavesdrop on conversations and all of a sudden, he says, "Who's a slut?!" and the class just jumped and was silent for a moment.

I was late to art today cuz I was printing out and organizing my art gallery review in the morning because of someone, but I won't name who. XD But it's okay. I'm never marked tardy in that class because supposedly, "Mrs. Warner loves [me]". I'm really behind on that Hokusai chair, though. D: I can't help it, the frikkin acrylic paints don't go on top of primer very well.

Y dragged me to Mr. Campos' room during brunch and we had a long conversation about The Beatles and online blogs. I don't even have him, but I wish I did. My Spanish teacher is so boring and such a freak. But because I spent my whole lunch there, I was hungry. So I went into art for third period, all hungry, and I ask if Serena has food for me (cuz I lurve her XD) and lo and behold! She actually got me a Squirt soda and shared her large Sweet Tarts with me! Wow, she's kinda weird, but dayum, that's so nice of her.

Then Y took me to Payless/Ross to buy a purse for prom. Haha, I don't care for brand names, if it looks good and it's cheap, I will be happy. And we found the metallic blue purse that we hid last week. :D It was still in the same spot too. XD We checked Ross just to see if there was anything new, but there wasn't. Then Y started picking out shirts for me to try on and then we looked at shorts and then went searching for… Well, never mind. I tried them on and I really want that orange shirt, but grrr… I'm SO broke. So we went back to Payless and I bought the purse. The price tag said $10.99, but it was $3.25!! Oh my god, so happy. XD

Then I went home to do Spanish homework and Government homework, but haha, I kept getting distracted. I watched The Caine Mutiny on TV because Meli told me it's on OnDemand and we're reading it in English. They missed out on a lot of parts, but it was pretty good. My dad watched it with me because he loves old war movies and he liked it. :D I kept asking him, "Is that Humphrey Bogart? Is that guy Bogart? Is that him?" but I was wrong every time. XD

Assessments… Blargh.

Music: Orange Range - Nettai Night

Tsuzuki (cont.)

So, Y and I were discussing how we’re gonna do our art finals. Y is doing a piece influenced by my portfolio and searched for a bunch of pictures from Vietnam to paint together like how I paint together different components of Japan… You won’t really get it if you don’t know how the other AP Artists work.

AZIANSHRIMP07: who says i will even paint this
AZIANSHRIMP07: i might print it out and collage it
AZIANSHRIMP07: XDDD
AZIANSHRIMP07: <bum!
AzianDragonRyu89: …Loser
AzianDragonRyu89: That’d be like a Jaclyn/Momo piece
AzianDragonRyu89: :O
AZIANSHRIMP07: …i know:)
AZIANSHRIMP07: nad if i spray paint it and add flower patterns and stick clay on it shaped like boobs it’d be an ap art collaboration piece
AzianDragonRyu89: Yeah, wow, that’d be so weird
AZIANSHRIMP07: i would hate it

Huh. We really do all have such a different style. It’s kinda weird. We’re all weird.

Man. Those emo entries really bug me. But I don’t delete posts, so it bugs me even more. XD I’m turning into Luciole. (Are you going to add that to my abnormally huge friend fee?)

I told people about this blog. I’m always hesitant about telling people because then I change what I sorts of things I talk about. But bah, screw it. To quote Betty, “Wuteva bitch, I do what I want!” Or maybe she’s quoting someone else. Uhh…

So, hello new viewers.

I think I’ll translate another Orange Range song.

Natural Pop
by Orange Range

Hashiritaku naru mugamuchuu de
Asa mo yoru mo YEAH (YEAH)
Sakebitaku naru hara no soko kara
Sora ni muke YEAH

Nayami fuan wa moeru GOMI no hi de
Shinjiru kimochi dake wa sute’naide
Nihon chikyuu uchuu saidaikyuu no egao ga
Kimi no horeta riyuu
Chiisaku naru koto wa nai
Ookiku kamaeru koto mo nai
Fuku wo kinai ikimono ga
Igai ni ichiban oshare na no kamo shirenai

Mappadaka ni natta tte hazukashikunai
Nani mo kakusazu sarakedaseba ii’n ja nai
Mawari no me ki ni shita tte PLUS ni wa naranai
Me and you de LOVE LOVE shitokeba sore de
Ii’n ja nai

Hashiritaku naru mugamuchuu de

Sakebitaku naru hara no soko kara

Kenka shita tte naita tte ki ni suru koto nai

Translation:

Losing yourself in wanting to run
In the morning and at night YEAH (YEAH)
Feeling like yelling out, from over in the wilderness
Face the sky YEAH

Problems, anxiety, on combustible trash day
Just please, don’t throw out the feelings I believe in
The smile of Japan, the Earth, the universe, the greatest rank are
The reasons I fell in love
There is no such thing as becoming small
There is no reason to become concerned about being big
Living things that don’t wear clothes
Regardless, may be the most fashionable ones

Even if you become naked, it’s not embarrassing
Without hiding anything, you should go on and confess
It won’t become a PLUS if you care about the eyes that surround you
Me and you, if we just LOVE and LOVE
It should be alright

Losing yourself in wanting to run
In the morning and at night YEAH (YEAH)
Feeling like yelling out, from over in the wilderness
Face the sky YEAH

Even if we fight, or cry, there is nothing to worry about
ZIG ZAG situations are good every once in a while
Don’t worry about writing expectations without letting the world know
As long as it doesn’t bother strangers, it should be alright

Be happy with what you have, we’re all human anyway
Having rags and scraps is more human-like
Don’t grow stronger or suffer pains by yourself
Your smiling face is a reminder
Smile… Smile…
Now that you realize it, you’re more like yourself!

It’s a very pretty song. Well… I’ve only listened to the Takagi Masakatsu “girls” remix version. But the piano makes it really pretty…

Hmmm… Egao… Waratte. Hmmm…

Egao

What the fuck, my WordPress sounds so depressing. I sound so incredibly emo! Argh. At least my Diary-X was filled with a range of entries.

I want my Diary-X baaaack… ;_;

Recording, Recording, Recording

Weird. All I want to do is blog. (Ew, I hate that word. Blog.) I have an art final due tomorrow, but… I used to update Diary-X daily and now… I have been barely writing about my life. I miss it. I guess it's because I don't really talk about what's on my mind, so I always turned to Nagareteru-Taki to write about it, even if no one reads it. I don't really care about viewers because I mostly write it for my own purposes. But those of you who do read, which is like Danielle and maybe Betty, hi! XD

What has been happening lately… Not much. School's coming to an end and it's kinda scary. No more high school, no more of these people I grew up with. ;_; I'm gonna miss them. I've been very lethargic about school. Ughhh… I need to do homework… But I don't want to… Prom is next week… Wow.

I'm really worried about the AP Bio final and English final. Finals… Agh, mothertruck.

Someone said I seemed like a studious person who always does schoolwork. Maybe I was prior to senior year. But this year… Hell no. I've gotten so incredibly lazy about work ethic.

I should finish my art critique and then… Play video games. I haven't played any games for a long time. Nico still has the blasted PS2. The little whore…

At least the rain has stopped a little.

Jinsei wa doko ikundarou. Jishin ga aru ka nai ka wakannakunatta. Donna hito ni naritai kana… Ima wa donna hito nano kana…
