They are NOT taking commissions.
What?
The art department of my school is far too busy to create a poster for theatre company.

If you didn't know, I'm in Junior Theatre Company. Believe it or not, this mediocre actress was thrown into this class. Why? I think there weren't enough people for a full class. To put it quite simply, I'm an extra in this classroom scene. As I said, nobody is willing to do the poster. What does this innovative class do? They get the theatre kids to do it, and I was one of those kids. Although the workless block is quite enjoyable, I'd much rather feel productive. You might be wondering who my partner in crime is for the project. Well, I'll tell you; Her name is Nicole, and she's in Athena (that's basically a program that adds 10% more artistic goodess to your hardy school day). I'd tell you more, but I hear that her mother is quite paranoid when it comes to personal info and the internet.

You know what sucks? Practicing badminton with somebody who is really bad, and laughs at every mistake they make. I don't like that. I also don't like people who are very good at something, but have no personality . . . no friendly personality. Don't ask why this popped into my head, it just did.

I'd hate to be a b*itch, but I'd like to make some commentary on Nicoles working habits. Err. . . she's a free spririt? A couple classes ago, I wanted to sit down with her, and discuss what should be on the poster. Without a doubt, I want it done and over with, but not rushed; Quality work. I try to sit her down a coupld of times, but she runs off . . . playing games? I don't blame her, half he class was playing soccer. When I did get her to sit, she tells me she's bored. BORED! I realize that not everything is going to run according to plan, but she was BORED?! Bored when I asked her for ideas? ;______; I never felt so rejected in my life . . . asided from being told that McD's wasn't hiring.

I feel somewhat afraid to here what Nicole's reaction will be when she sees what I've done to the "character design".

1. I drew out a rough sketch of a body.
2. Nicole block in some clothes
3. I bring it home and clean it up . . . :D maybe a bit too much (love you, Nicole *sweat*)

Something else that just popped into my head: Fancy tools don't make for a fancy product. I was tallking to my friend, Angela. She said there was a girl in her class who was . . . cocky I'm guessing, because she had a nice camera. I'm not sure how good she was at photography, but the latest digicam will do you NO good if you don't know where to point it. It's knowledge that make these tools magic. It's 1am now. . . .

I might be half owl, or some shiz D;
hoot hoot ~ ♥

note to self: look over leadership handouts, and build on peolple skills >___>

Four whole days of school free fun, and I essentially did nothing but eat, sleep, and take dumps. I would have blogged some more, but I feel really tired, and I'm just not up for gazing into the computer while typing simultaneously. Not only that, but I feel this obligation to post up pictures along with my blog. If I don't have picture on my computer, I cannot update my blog. It seems so silly to me, because back when I was doing "ghetto" blogs on dA (or any other sites I've been on), I didn't think about the media I sandwiched into each entry. I focused a lot more on simply spilling out all of my thoughts.


PIZZA

What have I been doing over the long weekend? I've made pizza. My mom dropped on of them, which was far from awesome, but it was no big deal. I'm guessing the pizza wasn't close enough to the elements, because the crust didn't brown very much. Since I lost the pizza recipe I got from home ec. last year, I just googled a recipe. What I found was a recipe for a pizza crust, but no instructions as to how long I should bake it. So I went ahead and guess 450 degrees farenheight for 20 minutes. That would have been a bit too long. Later, I decided that 425 would be acceptable, and I should leave the pizza in for no longer that 15 minutes. It didn't look too golden, but it tasted like a winner.
SHOPPING

Asides from being a female, and slaving over the oven, I went shopping with my mom . . . which still sounds very much like a female thing to do. After weeks of begging, she finally brought me to Queensborough. I love shopping there, because you can always find awesome deals. And since the season is over, the sales are everywhere. Who cares about the Aritzia sale? I'd rather hunt for deals in an outlet (I say hunt, because there aren't always deals at this mall).
About the Aritzia sale, my mom checked it out and told me that everything looked like trash. This may be due to the fact that
a) Girls and see lais have trashed the place OR
b) Everything there literaly looks like crap

EXTRA: I've been to the Aritzia sale once or twice (without knowing that I was actually at an Aritzia sale). I used to go to Chinese school around Tinseltown, which is where the sale was held during that time. My mom said there was a sale, so I thought "YES! 'SALE', MY FAVOUTIRE WORD!". Deffinately, stuff was cheap, but not rock bottom. I was NOT willing to dish out $20 for a tank top. In my life time, I've been to 3 warehouse sales, and I've hated everyone of them. Unless you're one of the first people at the sale, you will not dig it.

Whoa, I got hecka side track. At QB mall, my mom told me to buy whatever I wanted (because she only had cash on her). I decided to pass the offer, and just get the two things that I liked. I grey sweater (v-neck), and a pastel pink button-down shirt. After that, we headed over to Quicksilver. I love shopping at their outlet, because everything is SUPER CHEAP :'D Sadly, I didn't like what they had on sale; Denim. Very ugly demin. My mother and I passed on that offer and trotted over to Aldo.

Mom: We should get you some flats
Me: Why?
Mom: Well, if you ever get a job interview, you should be dressed nicely. Me: . . . sure.
I have no idea why my mom so keen on getting me shoes. She was gonna get me sandals too, but like I said, she only had cash on her (left her credit at home). I felt really guilty about my mom buying all this stuff for me. My familly isn't insanely well off, and shopping nfor nice things never feels like a necesity. When we began to head home,
my mom told me: If you weren't and only child, I wouldn't be so keen on buying you all these things. Clothes, your new camera . . . I would have to think a lot more carefully about every purchase I made.
Thanks mom. You spoil me. :B

DINING OUT

On some other occasion, I went out for sushi with my mom and her friend, Wing.
Note: I CAN eat SALMON, but I might get really dry skin.
I ate at sushi garden. The place was CRAMMED! I'm going to guess that people eat there, because everything is so cheap. I hope they don't change their prices anytime soon. I don't think their sushi looks very nice, they aren't rolled very tightly.
I like avacado > < >ASHO & MICHLLE


I went out with Ash and her friend to that book store the LG hunter showed us. I had spent a total of 0 minutes and 0 seconds with my friends, so I thought I should do something today. Without saying, I bought nothing.


After browsing some books, Ash, Michell and I went over to DeSerres. It was cool to look at the different types of are supplies that are available. I kinda want to get one of those pencil sharpeners with a hole for sharpening the tip of the lead from your lead pencils.

Excessively retarded,
pk.

Not literally . . . or at least I don't hope so; Hopefully people aren't attracted to smelly turds. By 'shiz", I meant drama. Whether it be hearing about it, being part of it, or "solving the situation", you usually want a piece of it. I've personally given up on trying to pry into the minds of my friends. Maybe I'm better off not knowing every mildly intriguing detail of their life.

TABLET! FLAT LINE! WHAT DO I DO?!

A couple of days ago, I found that my Genius Tablet wasn't working. After testing the pen AND the mouse, I figured that something must have been wrong. "Maybe I have to refresh my computer", but that did nothing. Later, I guessed that some files had been deleted while cleaning out a virus, but reinstalling the program did nothing.

My computer detected the tablet. So, what was the problem?

I took the mouse that came with my tablet, and teared off the battery cover. Battery acid Q___Q That's when I realized it was a battery problem. I went to a nearby mall to pick some up. MY TABLET LIVES :D

Remember that "crazy bitch" look I mention some time ago, It still haunts me at the mall T____T HELL! IT HAUNTS ME IN THE WASHROOM MIRROR. Sometimes I wish my eyes were a different shape. Not so slanty :B

BADMINTON IS CANCELED

FLAMING B*ITCH TITS! D: Everyone wasn't feeling well. Everyone: Ash and Sern. Buttercup doesn't count. Ash called me when I was at the mall and said that she wasn't feeling well. Mother nature brought her gift, yenno? I'm guessing that she was cramping up, or something. When I get home from the mall, I contact Serena over MSN

Me: Do you still want to go to badminton
Sern: I don't want to walk
Me: My mom said she can drive
Sern: I think I ate something wrong
Me: So . . . I'll take that as a no.

EXCUSES (this seems like an okay transition >___>;; )

I never noticed that this bugged me: Excuses. We're all guilty of using them, but I think it's time that I started using them less often. By using them, your basically say "This isn't my fault". People who use excuses often are prone to getting poor grades (or they don't reach their full potential). Last year, I absolutely hated socials. I thought that the teacher wasn't fair BLAH BLAH BLAH, but that was before realized what poor effort I had put into this class.

Random: I can't help but stare at this old battery, and expect it to explode.

Many lessons can be learned through experiences in school, but many are taught directly through teachers. The one moral that I have stapled in my head comes from my science teacher, Mr. Jung. "You can't change other people, you can only change your perspective of them". I agree with this, but I am just too darn stubborn at times.
I've learned a fair number of life lessons, but they render useless unless practiced daily.

PLAN FOR TOMORROW:

•10:30 - Dentists appointment (so tedious to have braces)
•12:00 - Get home and eat something . . . lunch
•12:30 - go to Ash's house
•1:00 - Arrive at DPCC
akhgkajhgkjhakaj

I want to go to the mall after that, but I'll probably feel to tired to move T_______T That, and the mall is usually raided with teenagers on Saturdays. I don't want to be part of that anymore.

It finally came in! I just have to charge it and all that jazz.
Unfortunately, the spare battery it came with doesn't charge. Basically, it's USELESS. Not only that, but the wrist strap was missing. I contacted the seller, and their going to send them over :D I'm so impressed by this seller (From Ebay: dcempire)

I have no idea what a lens cleaning pen is, but it sounds nifty.

Guess what else came in today.
My report card. I only got 3 As, an obvious disappointment for my mom. She doesn't even bother to acknowledge the fact that I have the top mark in my science class, not that she can read English, but everything that spews out of her mouth during report card week runs along the lines of "Only 3As? You need to try harder. You're being lazy."

Oddly, my average mark only dropped by maybe 1-2%. I thought it would be a lot lower for some reason

Term one average:

86.875%

Term 2

85.75%

I clearly didn't do my best this term. The only things that kept my average relatively high were:
a) Science (95%)
b) Textiles (also 95%)

BTW, I could have gotten principals list last term. I used bad fabric for text. It brought my mark down to 76%!
Lesson: DON'T SAVE MONEY WHEN YOU'RE IN SCHOOL. THIS IS AN INVESTMENT FOR YOUR FUTURE.

Guess what she called me.

I was walking home from school with my friends Anita and Vania. Suddenly, I see Anil's sister walk around the corner. I don't know why I don't remember her walking home in my direction . . . ANYWAYS, she goes all crazy bitch tits on me, faces me, and says to her friends, "Look, it's the girl who looks like a nammer." She continues walking and says, "Piece of shit".

ME? NAMMER*?! PIECE OF SHIT?! Okay, maybe, BUT WAS SHE TALKING ABOUT HERSELF?! Do not tell me that I look like a nammer when you are the EXACT image of a nammer (but not vietamese). Drives me up the wall. I know that it's bad at times to judge things based on first impression, she seems to be the type of person who tries to impress by putting others down. The type of person who walk around with their posse, and attack meek little loners by the pack.

About those people, you guys don't look that cool from the side lines. Trust me; I used to be a bully. Yes, that's what you are when you gang up on somebody, a bully. From the sidelines, you don't see one frightened person, you can see TWO. The bullied and the bully.

Bullied: Too chicken to speak up.
Bully: Too chicken to speak up by themselves.

Anybody else smell ego inflation?

*Nammer: I only have something against the really cocky and loud ones. The ones who thing they're so gangster, and can't speak without swearing.

I'm still debating over whether or not I should be surpirsed by the fact that she threw such a rude comment at me. I can almost guarantee that whenever my name comes up in one of her conversations, she (and her brother) probably throw in some comment about how I think "I'm all that.", or they say "She's a chicken shit".

Somebody clearly knows how to hold a grudge. Ever heard of forgive and forget? If not, ever heard of just forgetting? Geez. Grow up, dude! It's almost been half a year, and you're are still being rude about it. Let's all grow some imaginary balls, mkay? :D and take this situation like a man . . . a very intellectual man . . . or hermaphrodite. Yenno, whatever works. No more crazybitchtits plz

Much love

BAWW! Why do delivery services always come so darn early in the morning?! My camera was brought to my house at roughly 10:45am today, but obviously, I was at school and my family was at work. Luckily, FedEx is going to swing by again tomorrow (preferably AFTER 3:00). Asides from the tragedy of not getting my package, I got dinged for customs T____T $20.82.

Seriously can't wait for it to come in, because I want to see how the video function works. IT RECORDS IN 720p :D That's WAAAAAAY better than what I have at the moment, which is the Canon MV940 (records in 320p?). Now all I need is something that records in 1080p =3= All my dreams will be answered. Well . . . with 1080p and a job.

GRRR! TIRED!

much love,
PK

I probably shouldn't be blogging right now, so I'll try to do this quick.

As I've said before, I want a job. No McDonald's seem to be hiring, and it seems like such a hassle to apply online. I'll do it, but I wish I could just hand in my resume D: I remember Buttercup saying that he did that, but I didn't get the chance, seeing as how no branch needed extra staff. I've been blowing all my money on clothes, shoes, and other stuff.

Remember those shoes I wanted from XXI? One pair doesn't fit, and I don't know if I can return it in store. I hope I can, because I don't want to waste money shipping it back to Ontario.

NOTE TO SELF: Buy flats and heels in size 6

Purolator kinda sucks. I checked the tracking thing on their website, and it said they tried to deliver my order, buy nobody was home. 5:16? I was home . . . with my mom. I'm pretty sure one of us would of heard knocking on the door. I was home since I got back from school, and I didn't hear ANYTHING. I thought they were supposed to leave a slip/notification as to where you're supposed to pick it up, once again, nothing. I had to call in, something I hate doing. Calling a company is something I can't stand.

PLEASE HIRE ME! I KNOW I SEEM LIKE A TERRIBLE PERSON, BUT I'M VERY BUSINESS ORIENTED :D HURR HURR HURR

School

I seriously messed up my textiles project today. I was supposed to serge the outer leg seam, but it got caught blah blah blah. Point is, I messed it up. Because of this, I had to bring it in 1cm on each side. And yenno what? It turned out to be a good thing, because the pants had a better fit afterwards C:

Okay, so the happy dies, because I have no idea where my socials text book is! I am not paying the school $80 seeing as how I've already dished over $7 for some sheet music I "lost". UGH! This is ridiculous. I'm just so used to getting free music that's printed out on recycled paper (didn't cost me a penny). Unfortunately, that was back in elementary. Now I'm in high school, and school fees are BLARGH.


I convinced my mom to get me a camera! YAY! I can stop using my Canon MV940! . . . I'll have to wait for it to come in through the mail first D: I got the Casio Exilim EX-s12. This has tempted me to buy a new SD card, and an extra battery. Why? I'm very paranoid about now having enought memory space, or battery life. VERY essential when worling in public >___>;;

Asides from the tech stuff, I went ahead and bought a bunch of rhinestones so that I can bling out my gadgets later. This also means that super glue will be needed. If I'm lucky, It doesn't cost too much.

Okay! I spend way to much time on this.

I had leadership today, and started discussing conflict (we're going to have to finish up next class, because there wasn't enough time). One of the activities we had to do, was to write down pet peeves, and how you would react to these things/situations. There were two groups, and I felt blatantly offended whenever I over heard a pet peeve that I was guilty of doing.

One of these PP included wearing coloured cons. I occasionally where them, which still means I WEAR THEM. I don't think that there anything wrong with wearing coloured cons, but I think certain cons look odd.

Another one which I felt attacked by: Wearing lots of makeup. I wear make up almost everyday (with the exception of days when I don't leave the house). Asides from foundation, I do the whole shebang every morning. I think there's a difference between wearing lots of makeup, and wearing lots of cake-y/matte makeup. What's even worse is when you can see a whitish film on a persons' face. I would like to try wearing less makeup, but I tried one day, and I got The Comment: Your eyes look smaller.
Okay. So it wasn't said, but it was definitely implied.

Certain members also claimed to dislike people who dress up for school. This, I did not feel offended by. I don't dress up, and my closet consists of pieces from the sales bin. I would rather have people putting on a fashion show than have students dress like strippers. I cannot stand seeing girls with their stomachs exposed to the public. That look desperately screams skank. Sorry, girls. The exposed stomach look just isn't that attractive, and probably would get you the WRONG type of attention.

One of my personal pet peeves: People who whine about work that is assigned. I hope I didn't offend Tyler, because he's guilty of whining D:
I feel like these people slow the class down with all their chattering. Okay! So we have to do 50 questions! Just shut up, sit down, and get your pencil on the paper. You'd think these people would have learned by the 9258971895 time, that whining usually won't convince your teacher or boss ANYTHING. So just suck it up, Buttercup, and get to work. Am I talking about somebody in specific? Yes, but I don't think I need to put down any names for my fellow classmates to know who.

Eyebrows

I think there should be boundaries as to how thin and how arched ones eyebrows should be. I think super thin eyebrows make people look like hookers (for the majority. Special people can pull it off . . . yet to see it.) By "super thin" I mean it looks as if they took a ball point pen, and painted it on with a SINGLE stroke. Not hot, ladies.
Even now, I still worry if my eyebrows I too thin or arched. Highly raised/arched brows aren't hot either. They make you look:
a) Angry
b) Surprised
c) like a psychopath (especially when you smile)

Men aren't the only shallow ones

I don't know where it came from, but most people say that men are the shallow ones between the two genders. I disagree. Men are the OPENLY shallow ones between the two genders. Just because humans are advanced creatures blah blah blah, it doesn't mean that we aren't still animals. Most, if not all, people will judge others based on looks; It's hardwired into our heads. Only after a pretty face will most people decide to know another person better in order to pursue a relationship. It seems rather scripted to hear people say that they want personality over good looks. Let's be honest, how likely are you to have interest in someones personality with nothing to judge upon? Not likely at all. I guess we just assume nice face = nice personality, eh?

This fueled the last little section.

much love
