history was sooooooooo hilarious today. i got freaking pains in my stomach from laughing so hard. we were going over "jazz terms" which were words used during the jazz age: the 1920's. and sarmad, being the productive guy he is, made a story from some of them. before i type out his original one-of-a-kind script, here are the terms he used and their definitions:
- galloping ghost: nickname for a football player
- toots:girl
- hotsy totsy: pleasing
- smuggle buggy: a car in which boys try to seducde girls
- speakeasy: a bar during Prohibition
- main drag: the most important street in a town/city
- gold digger: person who marries someone for their money
- gyp: to cheat
- jalopy: old car
- mob: mafia gang family
- rub out: to murder
- rod: gun
when mrs. morse was going over the terms and she said "rod", i think either geoff or mayur made a crack about the perverse definition of rod. and sarmad says, "you guys shouldn't be talking about rods cuz you don't even have them." so as mrs.morse kept on going over the terms, sarmad kept on adding to his story. it all started when morse mentioned the "galloping ghost" and sarmad started making clicking noises with his tongue like a galloping horse. here's his script:
*horse galloping* (sarmad makes fast clicking noises)
*horse slows down* (sarmad makes slow clicking noises)
- dude: hey toots. You look hotsy totsy. So you wanna get into my smuggle buggy and go to the nearest speakeasy?
- toots (which sarmad actually spells tuts): Why don't you go hang out at the main drag?
- dude: cause a slut gold dug me. She gypped my jalopy [jalawpy].
(the brackets were put in by sarmad who can't pronounce jalopy correctly. at this point michelle cries out, "you can't say gold dug! it's gold digger. it's a noun not a verb!")
- tuts: I'll get the mob to rub you out
- dude: i'll take my rod out
now if you caught the double meaning of rod, the last sentence was freaking hilarious. first sarmad read the script to me, michelle, and jenna, and we're laughing soooo hard. then he reads it to mayur and mayur gets the class to quiet down so sarmad can read it to everyone. it's not as funny on paper, but it's hysterically funny hearing sarmad read it out loud. "hotsy totsy"...gotta love that word =D.

the most traumatic thing happend to me today. i was wearing my sunglasses outside and when i walked into the bathroom i took 'em off and hooked them onto the neck area of my shirt. i walk into the stall, close the door, turn around, and the sunglasses fall....right into the toilet. i was in utter shock. i was just staring at them inside the toilet. thank goodness there wasn't anything inside the toilet except water, but STILL it's a SCHOOL toilet. how clean can it be? not having pee inside is just about the same as having it inside. well, almost.
anyways, i was standing there just staring at my glasses thinking of a way to get them out. the first idea that popped into my mind was: chopsticks. then i realized i was at school, not home, and i had no way of getting chopsticks. then i thought: long stick. since i had no clue WHERE i was going to get a long stick i knew what i had to do: take 'em out with my hand. for a second i was considering flushing them down the toilet but i decided against that since 1) i happend to like those sunglasses, and 2) it probably wouldn't be good for the plumbing. so i held my breath (dont ask me why, i have no idea what help that did), stuck out my right hand, plunged it into the toilet, grabbed the glasses, and QUICK AS HECK pulled it out of there.
then i ran out of the stall and scrubbed my hands to death with about a pound of soap. and i also washed my sunglasses of course. that was the single most disgusting thing i've done in my life. i've dropped something in the toilet before, but that was the toilet at my HOUSE. and at my house we keep our toilets CLEAN. it was soooooo gross. when i came out of the bathroom i was freaking traumatized. i ate lunch with my left hand since my right hand was the hand i used to retrieve the sunglasses. even though i used karina's hand sanatizer i still felt like cutting off my right hand. it was sooooooooooooo disgusting. i felt like puking. gross gross gross gross.

i never knew standardized testing could be so hilarious. i finished the math section and i turned around to put my booklet down when i see this chinese fob guy sitting diagonally from me. he's sitting there reading a book and fanning himself with the MOST pathetic paper fan i've ever seen in my life. it could barely be classified as a fan. it was just a piece of paper folded four times. he scrunched together one side of the paper so that he could hold it. and i don't think the "fan" was even any use cuz he was holding it heck of far from his face and he was barely moving it. whatever wind was created barely ruffled the pages of the novel he was reading.
i got lu's attention and pointed to the guy. lu looks over and gives this heck of loud snicker. that got me going and we were CRACKING up into our arms. it was just sooo pathetic. and if you're thinkin, "geez, steph. you're so mean." im actually not. cuz that guy is one of lu's "fob acquaintances," and they're always cracking jokes at each other. since i couldn't laugh out loud, i had to keep it in and i was shaking so much. hahaha.
during history sarmad kept talking about this hot freshman logan girl at tennis MVAL's yesterday. he wouldn't shut up about her.
sarmad: dude there was this girl at logan that was hellla hot.
me: *raises eyebrows*
sarmad: if you were there, you would've thought she was hella hot. well, maybe not you, but she WAS hot.
me: okay...what ethnicity
sarmad: asian. i was sitting there trying to decide between math hw and staring at the hot girl. i chose the girl. so i sat there staring at her for like four hours. i was like *imitates drooling*
me: hahahahaha. attractive.
sarmad: she was pretty smart also. she had algebra II and she had an A in that class. i was like damn i wish i was a freshman.
me: how'd u know she had an A in algebra II?
sarmad: well i didn't just STARE at her for four hours. i talked to her too. otherwise she would be like, "what the f---- is wrong with that guy?"
me: hahahahaha
sarmad: yeah, so it was more like talking to her AND staring at her.
then in chemistry he starts talking about her AGAIN to slava. i hope every day of testing is this funny =D

errrg, my dad pisses me off. first he gets into an argument with me, THEN when my mom comes home he gets into an argument with her. is he so freaking bored all day that all he does is pick fights? that's a damn pathetic existence. i hate how whenever he argues with my mom he ALWAYS says something along the lines of, "it's for your benefit," or "it's for their benefit," or more generally, "it's for (insert name here)'s benefit." wth is that!!?? just once i would love to laugh in his face and tell him that it's not for ANYONE'S benefit. that it's just for his control-freak-benefit. im just getting soooo annoyed with him. i have to admit that it's amusing to see him yell his guts out over the tiniest possible thing, but even that gets old.
people tell me that im lucky i don't have a younger sibiling. i don't need a younger sibling. my dad takes the place of my younger sibling. i swear to goodness he's like a five-year-old kid. he's freaking tactless, immature, and unreasonable. the only difference is that he can control what i do. so basically i have a younger sibling that controls me. great. woohoo for me.
on a brighter note, im SO glad i went to junior prom. i know i said it was sort of disappointing cuz of the sucky DJ but despite that i still had fun. haha, yeah i know, i realize this like two days after the event. but me and my friends were talking about it today and that night really was amazingly fun. can't wait for pics to come out =D. k, this was a random paragraph. haha.

~JUNIOR PROM~ (warning: looooong entry)
junior prom was....sort of disappointing. why? cuz the dj SUCKED ASS. when people used to come back from dances and say that the dj sucked, i never beleived them cuz how can a dj suck? all they do is play songs. but NOW i know. the junior prom dj was soooooo horrible. collectively, i think he played about two hours of non-modern music. mainly 80s music. i have nothing against 80s music. i like it. but holy shit, he played it CONTINUOUSLY. it would've been ok if he played once in awhile but it got to the point where people didn't feel like dancing anymore cuz we were SICK of the RETARDED music. and the modern music that he DID play all sounded the same. they were all these rappers just shouting into the mike and not making sense. soooo much of the rap songs ALL sounded EXACTLY the same. i swear to goodness i wanted to kick the dj. AND in the beginning he played a slow song every third song. i was like wth!?!?! when he started to play like the fourth slow song people started booing him so he changed it. hahaha. that was funny.
so now that i've gotten that out of the way, here's a rundown of the night:
i convinced my parents to let me out of the house at six "so i could get ready at paula's house." so i ate some barbecue then ryan picked me up and headed over to paula's house to pick up her and joseph. wow, he looks very different but it was hecka cool to see him again. then us four headed to dinner at papillons. on the way, unfortunately, ryan found out that joseph watches family guy also. oh well, i knew family guy was gonna be brought up sooner or later so why not sooner. haha.
dinner was the BEST part of the night. all of us got along REALLY well despite how i hadn't seen joseph for seven years, joseph and ryan had just met, and ryan and paula didn't know each other really well. but it all turned out great. we started quizzing ryan on mcdonald menu prices. he nailed everything. pretty damn good. haha. me and joseph talked about "the good ol' days." haha. all the people we knew, who we still kept in touch with, and stuff like that. it was awesome. i loved Lea's Chrisitian School so much and it was cool to be able to see someone from way back then. haha, i just thought of something now: i wonder if joseph knew i used to like him back then. well, he knew then....i wonder if he remembers that. haha. elementary crushes are cute.
so after dinner we headed to prom. deto had waaay too much fun driving his parents' BMW. haha. joseph was in LOVE with the desert table. there was a chocolate fountain where you could dip in strawberries, carmel, and just about anything they had out. he kept on going back for more strawberries. can't blame him; chocolate covered starwberries are YUM!
i didn't mind that we were in the gym cuz the decorations were amazingly awesome. it was just the dj and dancing part that kinda sucked. and since what you mainly do at junior prom is dance, hence the disappointing part.
*(decoration descriptions taken from paula's xanga) they tied white drapes from the middle of the ceiling to the wall barriers that shaped the dance floor into a square with the DJ in the middle. Towards the far side of the gym they set up lights to reflect the colors pink, orange, yellow, and red off of the wall. Tables were set up inside the gym and also in the area by the soda machines (covered in tissue!! hahaha)*
there were some really memorable parts of the dance though:
~EVERYONE in the gym doing the electric slide to shania twain, "man i feel like a woman." i came into the gym in the middle of that song and i saw rows and rows and rows of juniors line dancing. hahahaha. there were soooooo many people dancing that me and chris (dring) didn't know how to get in. so me and chris are like walking around the entire block of people on the dance floor trying to find the right time to get into a row. finally reed saves us and pulls us into his row. fun stuff =D
~ Everyone singing to the song "get low". it was the uncensored version and people (especially geoff and deto) were heck of yelling out the cuss words. that was hilarious.
~ Geoff and Deto getting me in a freak sandwich. i dont know if that's really a happy-memorable thing. i think it's more of a scarred-for-life-memorable type thing. haha.
~ Seeing Nikki again! i missed that woman! i hate it when friends move away.
~ Hanging out with all my friends: elissa, amina, j.j. , yuri, geoff, deto, paula, joseph, slava, erica, mili, michelle, mayur, chris, megan, reed, carl, and everyone else i might've forgotten.
i remember at one point in the dance, one of geoff's friend said something about not being able to dance to this type of music and geoff said, "sure you can dance to this music. that's not a problem. you know what my problem is? i was born white. so if a white boy can dance to this, so can you." hahahaha. ah, geoff cracks me up.
so i guess junior prom was cool. it wasn't super fun cuz of the fact i wanted to kick the DJ. haha. it was great seeing all my friends all dressed up and spiffy looking, trying to dance to the lame music, talking, and attacking the dessert bar. hahaha. yay for me though, my sore throat and runny nose didn't bother me that much. woot! well, now it's time to catch up on all my hw. later days!

wow. what a small world. what a ridiculously small world. paula's date to junior prom (joey) is my friend from waaaaay back in elementary school. here's how i came about my revelation:
me: joey's not filipino?
paula: no. he's chinese.
me: is he really? i always had an image of a filipino boy in my mind.
paula: nope. his last name is chen. joseph chen.
me: chen. joseph chen. joseph chen? i knew a joseph chen in elementary school.
paula: do you think it's the same one?
me: well he was a year younger then me, and you said joey was a sophomore. what school does he go to?
paula: moreau.
me: which is in hayward. which is where my elementary school, lea's christian school, was.
then me and paula started getting all excited. haha. so later that night paula calls joey and finds out that he's the one and the same joseph i knew way back. i haven't seen that child is SEVEN years. i can't even BEGIN to imagine what he looks like, much less what his personality is like. i mean, the last time i talked to him he was in third grade and i was in fourth grade. wow. seven years. i am SO super excited for prom now. it's gonna be grrrrreat to see him again. cuz we were pretty good friends in elementary school. well, we were as good friends as little 9-10 year olds can be. it's not like we shared a deep and meaningful friendship, and it's not like i told him everything. but we were cool friends.
i find it funny that i just find out NOW that he's the joseph chen from elementary. cuz i remember paula and michelle mentioning him before. joey's so sweet, and joey this and joey that. joey joey joey. but i NEVER made the connection cuz first of all they never mentioned his last name, and even if they did i wouldn't have guessed it. he never went by joey. geez.....joey....when the heck did he pick up that name. it always used to be joseph. it'll be super awesome to see him again, but i can't help thinking it'll also be awkward. i mean what am i gonna say to him. what can in talk about? last i saw him, we were probably playing soccer or tag. haha.
i got into an argument with my dad last night about prom. what a jackass.
me: im going out to dinner with my friends before prom
dad: what? no you're not
me: yes i am
dad: i thought we were perefectly agreed that you were eating dinner at home on saturday.
me: but it's prom. i want to go out to eat.
dad: no ur staying at home for the barbecue.
me: but ariane (my cousin) probably isn't even coming. so what's the point of me going? (it's a barbecue with my family and my uncle's family)
dad: so? it's my birthday. you have to go.
me: it's your birthday?
dad: yes
me: oh
(my mistake there. i sooooooo totally forgot about his birthday. i knew it was next week but i thought we were celebrating NEXT week. we always celebrate the week of but not earlier. but i was smart enough to keep my mouth shut and not say that)
dad: just yesterday you were saying you were eating at home
me: no not yesterday
dad: YES YESTERDAY!
me: no....it was tuesday.
dad: fine, tuesday. you still agreed.
me: yeah, but me and my friends decided to go out to eat.
dad: you're not going. who says you have to go?
me: but i already told them
dad: so cancel then
me: i can't
mom: you don't have to go out to dinner. why don't you eat lunch with them.
me: that's not how it works. you go out to dinner THEN you go directly to prom.
dad: not everyone does that
me: YES everyone! that's how prom works. it's my PROM, how can i NOT go out to dinner.
dad: no. that's my final answer. i don't want you going out to dinner.
(then he said something along the lines of, "not yet. it's too early." or "not yet. you're too young." now after he said that i guessed what his underlying meaning was. my sister used to go out to dinner A LOT. not when she was a junior in high school but later on. college i think. but anyways, my parents didn't like her going out to eat so much so i guess they think they're going to prevent me from following in her footsteps of "lavish eating" by forbidding me to go out to dinner with my friends.)
dad: if you keep on arguing with me you're not even going to GO to prom.
me: but the tickets are already bought
dad: then throw them away
me: you can't throw them away! they're paid for!
dad: i don't care. throw them away.
and that's when i stopped arguing. i realized by then that i'd lost the fight. but i think i did pretty damn well. i went out with a bang. i don't know why he was getting SO pissy over it. i have ONE prom. he's going to have like forty more birthdays! whoop-de-freaking-doo. like he was getting SO mad. i didn't think my parents would object to it, so i went ahead and asked them. if i knew they were going to say no then i would've lied from the beginning! see, now i can't make up an excuse to leave my house early cuz then he'll know im lying. the latest i can leave my house is 6:30.
i should've never started off telling the truth. the truth NEVER WORKS! hahahaha. i didn't want to lie in the beginning not only cuz i didn't think they would say no but also because when you tell too many lies, you get tangled up and it's gonna bite you in the ass one day when you screw up ur cover story or something. damn. now i can't go out. blegh.
i woke up this morning with a runny nose in addition to my sore throat. yep, i can tell im on my way to a fast recovery before prom.
me: joey's not filipino?
paula: no. he's chinese.
me: is he really? i always had an image of a filipino boy in my mind.
paula: nope. his last name is chen. joseph chen.
me: chen. joseph chen. joseph chen? i knew a joseph chen in elementary school.

dad: so cancel then
me: i can't
mom: you don't have to go out to dinner. why don't you eat lunch with them.
me: that's not how it works. you go out to dinner THEN you go directly to prom.
dad: not everyone does that
me: YES everyone! that's how prom works. it's my PROM, how can i NOT go out to dinner.
dad: no. that's my final answer. i don't want you going out to dinner.
(then he said something along the lines of, "not yet. it's too early." or "not yet. you're too young." now after he said that i guessed what his underlying meaning was. my sister used to go out to dinner A LOT. not when she was a junior in high school but later on. college i think. but anyways, my parents didn't like her going out to eat so much so i guess they think they're going to prevent me from following in her footsteps of "lavish eating" by forbidding me to go out to dinner with my friends.)
dad: if you keep on arguing with me you're not even going to GO to prom.
me: but the tickets are already bought
dad: then throw them away
me: you can't throw them away! they're paid for!
dad: i don't care. throw them away.
and that's when i stopped arguing. i realized by then that i'd lost the fight. but i think i did pretty damn well. i went out with a bang. i don't know why he was getting SO pissy over it. i have ONE prom. he's going to have like forty more birthdays! whoop-de-freaking-doo. like he was getting SO mad. i didn't think my parents would object to it, so i went ahead and asked them. if i knew they were going to say no then i would've lied from the beginning! see, now i can't make up an excuse to leave my house early cuz then he'll know im lying. the latest i can leave my house is 6:30.
i should've never started off telling the truth. the truth NEVER WORKS! hahahaha. i didn't want to lie in the beginning not only cuz i didn't think they would say no but also because when you tell too many lies, you get tangled up and it's gonna bite you in the ass one day when you screw up ur cover story or something. damn. now i can't go out. blegh.
i woke up this morning with a runny nose in addition to my sore throat. yep, i can tell im on my way to a fast recovery before prom.
Thursday, April 22, 2004
ugh, i feel like i swallowed a needle. it's that scracthy sore throat feeling which makes you want to drink a gallon of water every minute. i woke up this morning and i was like, "oohhh crap. sore throat." i finished a bottle of water before fourth period. i feel so...parched. i picked a grrrreat time to get sick: two days before prom.
im actually getting kinda excited for prom =D. who would've thought?
oo! before i forget. my email address now is stephaniewu@gmail.com. i was really excited when i signed up cuz i got the address name i wanted: stephaniewu. when i signed up for hotmail "wustephanie" and "stephaniewu" and "stephwu" were taken. well, what can you expect, i already know of three people with my name. biters. so yah, that's my new email address and im gonna use it for everything. so whether the email is interact related, just for fun, or whatever email me at stephaniewu@gmail.com

i've been trying to work out junior prom details and all. *sigh*. i didn't want it to be a big deal. i just wanted to go to the prom and nowhere else. no dinner and no pictures. but deto wants to do all that. he says if he's going to prom he might as well do everything. haha, funny thing happend last night. i called ryan to tell him i decided to go, and when his mom answered the phone i almost said, "may i please speak to deto?" but i stopped myself, and i said ryan instead.
i was bored during rehearsal today so tiffany did some fortune telling with a deck of cards. apparently the cards told her my crush likes someone else but he likes me too. geez, he likes TWO girls. what a player. bastard. haha, j/k. well im gonna go have some fun with gmail now =D.

~SPRING BANQUET~
me, slava, sarmad, duc, and michelle went to set up for my campaign an hour before people came. we put fliers on the ground, on windows, in elevators, on railings, over urinals, and just about everywhere else. then when people started showing up, i just went around talking to different little groups and handing out "vote for stephanie" sticky labels. then when dinner was served, i was a freaking nervous wreck. i was soooo nervous i could barely eat my salad. but i had ashley pray with me, and holy mother of pearl, when it was my turn to say my speech i wasn't nervous at all. everything just flowed like magic. yay for God =D.
blah blah blah, some speeches, a slideshow, some awards, and then they announced the winners, aaaaaaaaaaaand *drumroll* they announced my name for lt.governor. holla back, woot woot! hahahahaha. our table freaking EXPLODED. it was like a BOMB went off at our table. pretty damn amazing. and laura won for governor! so im really excited about that.
wow, i want to thank ALLLLLLLLLLLLLL my friends who helped out with the setup. and thanks to all my friends who encouraged me to go for the position and really supported and beleived in me. u guys rock socks. and to my friends who went to the spring banquet just to vote for me: thanks ever so much. especially to ashley who came even though she was as sick as a horse and had to leave after the votes were cast. what an amazing night =D.
im going to break my aim fast for exactly five minutes to tell some of my friends about my victory =D.

Saturday, April 17, 2004
i finished all the stuff i need for my campaign tomorrow. fliers, labels, posters, speech...yep, the works. i decided that if i dont get lt.governor i'll be sooooo sad. and i wont be sad cuz i didn't get the position, i'll be sad cuz i wasted sooooooooooooo much time preparing the campaign. alllll that time i spent on fliers, posters, and my speech i could've been studying for my ap test. holy mother, that's a lot of time. i told my sister this and she said, "think about how the runner-up for president feels. all those millions of dollars and months of campaigning across the U.S." yeah, sucks for those people. especially for al gore: he wasted money, time, AND he lost to a retarded guy like Bush. hahaha.
well, for the avid readers of my blog, you'll know whether or not i got lt.governor if i post on sunday. if i get the position, i'll post sunday night. and if i don't get it, then no post. i'll be watching alias and reminiscing over lost time. BUT i have to stay confident right now =D. so wish me luck tomorrow! i'm going to kick those twin butts. (yeah, there's twins running. one's running for gov, and the other for lt.governor).
back to the jacksonian era of politics. woohoo.

i went to sarmad's house last night to work on my flier. and yay! it's done! woot! we made three different layouts and narrowed it down to two. then i couldnt' decide so we decided to print out both. so i got my speech, fliers, and clothes taken care of. now i gotta take care of labels, poster, and hair (i guess).
i think i have a weak heart or something. i really think i do. cuz i was sitting at sarmad's computer editing my photo and i didn't even hear sarmad come in the room. im staring really intently at the screen and all of a sudden he goes "hey....". i assume he was about to say more after the "hey" but my yelp cut him off midsentence. plus, i almost fell out of the swively chair. yeah, it was a real classy moment for me =P
i just realized this morning that the ap us history test is may sixth. which means i have TWO weeks to study enough to get a 4 on the exam. damn, i didn't realize it was approaching so soon. mother effer. im feeling extremely screwed. SCREWED! k, back to studying.

matthew and jump stopped by to visit me yesterday. matt calls my house and says, "im outside." so i go outside to the front of our complex. when i get to the bottom of my stairs matthew and jump, freaking LEAP out at me. so that was my second heart attack for that week. i jumped back heeeeck of, but NOT ten feet. grrrr, stupid matthew. ONE time, just ONCE i used the code to get into the complex and it just so happens matthew sees the numbers i punch in. retard. stalker. goodness. so now he can get in to my complex whenever he wants, and scare the frigging CRAP out of me. damn.
but matthew had his stupid moments. he took my "i love jesus" lanyard and he wouldn't give it back. that is until i pointed out that he's not chrisitian and that he's wearing his buddhist temple t-shirt. hahahaha.
for matt: nice hair =P

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!!!
paula invited me to her easter mass today at holy spirit so i went. it was pretty awesome. it felt good to be in church again. i think the last time i was actually attended a church service was about five years ago in sixth grade. ever since i left my christian school i never went to church again since my family isn't religious and all. and even though im christian, and not catholic, i still went to holy spirit today. cuz although catholicsm and christian practices are a lil' different the belief is the same, and i really wanted to go to easter mass, SOMEWHERE. and i was really happy cuz my mom came with me =D. yay!
catholic services are a lil different cuz they have that whole thing where you go up to the front and they put that white thing in your mouth. im sure there's a name for it but i can't think of it now. so yeah, that was different. didn't know what it stood for exactly so i stayed seated. the priests are dressed differently, and the way the priests conduct the sermons are different. cuz during the service after the priest/minister said something the people would repeat it or they would say something like "Lord hear our prayer." something along those lines. i'd never done that before so that was new. but i really enjoyed the content of the sermon and the singing. so yah, that was my first time at an easter sunday mass and my first time at a catholic service. thanks a whoooooollleeeeeee bunch for inviting me paula =D.
hope everyone had a good easter! and God bless =D

i went to the candlelighting vigil ceremony yesterday at 7pm. it was in the front of the school where the flagpole is. travis's mom didn't show up, so his sister read the mom's speech. it must be really hard on her. well, the vigil was as nice as something of that nature could be. there was music, speeches by people who knew travis, and of course candles. there were a bunch of marines there and stuff also. there's really no words to describe the night. how do you really describe an event where you honor someone killed in Iraq? you really can't. but i can say this: it was great to see so many people there to honor travis.
on my way to the candlelighting, i lost my yellow ribbon. damn, i need a new one now. i also got the crap scared out of me by sarmad on my way to the vigil. i went to borrow his camera, and when i was halfway across the parking lot i hear someone say "HEY!". i turn around, see sarmad standing in the shadow of the fence and i literally jump back like ten feet. it was funny cuz my scream hecka startled him. my scream even startled myself cuz it was suuuuuch a slow reaction. it's like he says "hey!", i turn around, see him, stare for like two seconds, then freak out. i think that's what it feels like to have a heart attack. holy mother, i felt my heart like jump out of my chest. it was freaking hilarious though. haha. well, gtg work on my lt. gov. speech.

i was xanga surfing and i found this entry about christianity and homosexuality:
Would you rather be gay or a transvestite your choice to have an operation or not?
At first I was totally for it even though i know that God does not agree with same sex marriage. then i thought why should christians be in everyone business if they're gay they're gay thats between them and God and if Christians try to protest and do crazy stuff to stop gay marriage it's only going to give Christians a bad name. We are supposed to be loving. Then talking to my dad he was saying it's a sin and it's just like any other temptation God gives us, but why does it have to be so sad, i feel like if they are so attracted to the same sex and try their whole life not to be they'll live a horrible sad life without someone to share it with in the way of a partner.
i don't agree with same sex relationship but i don't believe in forcing others to have the same beliefs as i do. it's sucks cause i have friends that are gay, i don't judge them but it's hard to think what they are doing is wrong. most of life is trying to find the right partner and if you tell them what they are lookin for is all wrong, but when in reality the only person who knows what they want is themselves well God but to fight that attraction. dude i don't know what if someone told me that God said it's not right to be straight and everyone should be gay? how would straight people deal with trying to fight their natural attraction to the opposite sex? i gotta read more about this.
and the next day she had this entry:
"That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other. and the men, instead of having normal sexual relationships with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men and, as a result, suffered within themselves the penalty they so richly deserved." Romans 1:26-27
"Do not practice homosexuality; it is a destesable sin." Leviticus 18:22
"Don't you know that those who do wrong will have no share in the Kingdom of God? THose who indulge in sexual sin who are idol worshipers, adulterers, male prostitutes, homosexuals, theives, greedy people, drunkards, abusers, and swindlers - none of these will have a share in the Kingdom of God." 1 Corinthians 6:9-10
I hate to say that someone else is living a life that is wrong, but what these verses tell me is that homosexuality is wrong. I agree with Jorge and that God can only judge people. But what are Christians supposed to do? Support Gay relationships or just stay neutral? or should we think only Christians should not be Gay if they have no religion then it doens't matter? if being homosexual is just a temptation from God, that is a tough one to deal with. i don't think i'd be able to handle it.
"No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted he also will provide a way out so you can stand up under it." 1 Corinthians 10:13
What about people who think that they are gay but really aren't? my dad told me about with one guy who was an outcast and no one really liked him so he thought that if he was gay he'd be accepted since gays are kinda "outcasts" or supposedly more accepting of people who are different. But he found out that the gay community was the exact same as the rest of the world. so what if gays are just looking for acceptance and use the lifestyle to feel part of something.
so this is my personal opinion: i totally agree with that girl's views. being a Christian i don't beleive in gay marriages because God made man and woman to be together. but i also won't discriminate and i'll welcome anyone who's gay. looking at it from a more political perspective, there should be a law banning gay marriages because afterall this IS America where we have freedom of speech, press, and all that other good stuff. America is a place where people come to NOT be persecuted for their beleifs. banning gay marriages goes against that and it also goes against the separation of church and state. a certain religious beleif shouldn't be imposed on an entire nation. so that's my two cents. gtg eat lunch now.

i watched ten minutes of a reality t.v show and i was so disgusted i turned it off. the show is called The Swan. it's about these people who undergo plastic surgery to make themselves "prettier". i say prettier in quotes because what defines "pretty" is all relative. so anyways, these two women undergo plastic surgery: lyposuction, breast implants, and everything else from fixing their legs to their face. and after they undergo surgery they have about one month to get into shape for the beauty pageant. and depending on who looks better and who's "improved" more since pre-surgery, that one person gets to advance to the beauty competition. and woohoo, they're suddenly fuflilled.
that show is a piece of CRAP. it promotes low self-esteem and it fosters the already infectious ideas of "i'm not pretty enough", "i dont have the right weight", and blah blah blah. i absolutely hate reality t.v. (yes all reality tv from road rules/real world to the bachelor. the only reality tv i actually don't mind is american idol. i dont watch it because i dont like it that much but it's an all right show). but The Swan really pushes it. *gag*
anyways, it was nice to see people wearing yellow ribbons in support of American troops in Iraq (me included). in no way do i support the war, but i DO support the troops. and i guess, since travis layfield died in Iraq, people at WHS have become more aware of what's going on and how real everything is. well i know i have. it's sad. how you graduate high school, and are just embarking on your life and suddenly you're killed in action. i knew that the death toll for Americans in Iraq was close to five hundred, but i never thought it would hit so close to home. i didn't know travis layfield and i dont know his brother, who's a junior at WHS. so it's not like it's that close to me, but it's as close as i want it to get. it's really a sad event.
what also makes me sad is that today there were yellow balloons everywhere and we were all wearing yellow ribbons, but what about in may? in may we'll still be in the war and there'll still be people dying but i doubt that there will be very many people wearing yellow ribbons by the end of school. i don't want to be a hypocrite because i might not be donning that yellow ribbon either. i think i'll just put one on my backpack (and hope it doesn't get broken off or mutilated) and leave it there for the rest of the year. yes, that'll be nice.
so, this whole travis layfield thing has been all over the news. this morning our principal was talking to reporters from channel seven and who knows what other channels. while i was passing from third to fourth period there were channel five news reporters in the front of the school. and a whole bunch of people were going up to them, since those reporters can't exactly come on campus during school hours. i thought that was retarded. not the reporters thing, cuz they're doing their job, but it's retarded how people went up to them just so they could get a chance to be on television. ugh, that makes me sick.
well i'll be praying for that family. hope they get through all of it all right. im going to go eat grapes now because 1)i'm having a fruit obsession currently, and 2)i like grapes.
that show is a piece of CRAP. it promotes low self-esteem and it fosters the already infectious ideas of "i'm not pretty enough", "i dont have the right weight", and blah blah blah. i absolutely hate reality t.v. (yes all reality tv from road rules/real world to the bachelor. the only reality tv i actually don't mind is american idol. i dont watch it because i dont like it that much but it's an all right show). but The Swan really pushes it. *gag*
anyways, it was nice to see people wearing yellow ribbons in support of American troops in Iraq (me included). in no way do i support the war, but i DO support the troops. and i guess, since travis layfield died in Iraq, people at WHS have become more aware of what's going on and how real everything is. well i know i have. it's sad. how you graduate high school, and are just embarking on your life and suddenly you're killed in action. i knew that the death toll for Americans in Iraq was close to five hundred, but i never thought it would hit so close to home. i didn't know travis layfield and i dont know his brother, who's a junior at WHS. so it's not like it's that close to me, but it's as close as i want it to get. it's really a sad event.

I love The Joy Luck Club. that is my all-time favorite book and im so overjoyed we're reading it in english. this is one of my favorite lines:
"For a long time now the woman had wanted to give her daughter the single swan feather and tell her, 'This feather may look worthless, but it comes from afar and carries with it all my good intentions.' And she waited, year after year, for the day she could tell her daughter this in perfect American English."
ah, that quote is so sad.
anyways, im really excited cuz i found the absolute perfect outfit for the spring banquet. and guess where i found out? in my closet! it's amazing how many clothes my sister has. haha.
it looks like im going to junior prom =D. should be fun...now that all my friends decided to go. yay! i know it's in the gym, but i'll have a good time with all my lovely friends. one more day till' spring break. even though i'll be busy as freaking heck, at least i'll get nine hours of sleep every day.
after rehearsals today i was talking with ash and ryan, and ash showed me deto's seventh grade id card. omg...he looks like he's freaking five. hahahaha. dude, we all looked SO young in seventh grade. he was sooo cute. i remember deto at centerville. he was as short as i was. haha. ah, the junior high years. dang we were young. well talk later, hw now.

chem was freaking hilarious today. collin (lambert) kept on bouncing up and down whenever he looked at chris (hong). i was like wth. then collin started saying "ooompa loompa..." i started laughing my ass off. i swear to goodness chris looks EXACTLY like an oompa loompa with his green hair and all. hahahaha. and then collin looks at chris's shirt:
Collin: who would let their kid out of the house with that shirt
*Chris's shirt said 7-Eleven with a picture of a sub sandwich*
Me: hahahahahaha.
Chris: shut up
Me: i mean, nice shirt. personally, i would never let my kid leave the house with that, but nice shirt.
Collin: hahahahaha
Chris: *looks at me* i thought u were nice
Me: I am but Collin corrupted me
damn, those sophomores crack me up. then mrs.raymond comes by right when collin is singing the ooompa loompa song and that gets her started also. hahaha.
so me and chris are working on our graph when chris tells me to look over at rishi. rishi is bending over the lab table and his boxers are showing, and chris is like, "should i give him a wedgie?" i dared him to cuz i didn't think he actually would. well he did it and he pulled rishi's boxers like halfway up his back. it was soooooooooo hilarious. hahahaha. rishi was like "wtf!?!? you mofo!" hahahaha. and he's like walking around the class trying to fix his shorts. omg, sophomores are immature but god i love them. it's hilarious. there's has not been one quiet moment since i've sat in the back of the class cuz the entire back row is me, slava, chris, collin, and mariam. it's funny stuff.
so i was talking to my sis last night and she reminded me that i needed to find a job. well, being as busy as i am, i have NO time to even LOOK for a job. and she's all, "i think you bit off more than you can chew. you took on a little too many activities this year." being the defiant person i am, i'm like, "no! i can handle this." she thinks i shouldn't run for lt. gov. cuz that takes out like two days of my spring break to work on my campaign. but i dont wanna drop out of the race for a position NEXT YEAR just for two free days THIS YEAR.
so i made her bet with her. well not technically a bet cuz we didnt' bet anyTHING. but after i told her that i could handle it (even though im stressed as hell) she said, "fine. by the end of the year you should have a 4.0, the position of lt. gov., and a job lined up." so i said o.k. and WATCH i will. i need goals to keep myself going and motivated. i think those are three pretty damn good goals. and crossing my fingers i hope that my SAT score (it comes out on the ninth) is above my last score.
so to help myself achieve my goals im cutting myself off from aim until ap tests are over. cuz today is EXACTLY one month before my first ap test. so no aim until after i test, and that includes friday & saturday nights. im gonna go on aim now and block all the people on my buddy list that i talk to. that way if i sign on, i can't talk to anyone. if anyone needs to talk to me, you can CALL me. i DO answer my house phone, and i DO use it. haha.
im also plannig out my spring break day by day, hour by hour. it's GOING TO WORK. i know it is. there are five extra credit opportunities in history, and me, sarmad, and wendy are going to do ALL of them in ONE day. hahaha. even though the places we have to visit are in oakland, sf, fremont, and selinas it WILL work. haha. maybe not the salinas extra credit but everything else MUST be done in one day. im so busy i dont have time to visit those places over a few days cuz i still got play practice and ap study groups. we're honors students, we can do it =D.
damn, hella long entry. but im still gonna continue. haha. every day when i get home im drawing out a hw schedule. i'm gonna allot a specific amount of time for what i have to do each day. reed got me into that but i stopped that recently cuz i thought i could do without it. apparently i have no self-control cuz i stopped making schedules and i started going on aim. now im becoming schedule obsessive. muahahahaha.
does anyone want to have a daily or every other day ap history study group? i really need it, and i know everyone with mrs. morse especially needs it. haha. just CALL me (since im banned from aim) if you wanna. oo, and for all you wallach kiddies, we need to have a movie day for all those extra credit movies. holla! gtg on aim and block all my buddies now.

the rate at which gossip/word spreads in high school is freaking amazing. i was talking about junior prom with steph cheung and she says, "i heard that you have a guy/crush at some other school. you guys met like on some interact thing." i was like whoa. and it gets even funnier cuz she heard it from someone who heard it from someone. so who she heard it from wasn't even someone i told. hahahaha. it's not that i mind that steph knows cuz she's cool and all. actually, i dont care who knows but i just find it funny that word spread like that. man, gotta love high school.
i was talking about our junior prom theme with jenn. it's "almost paradise". wth is with that "almost." might as well say "almost paradise cuz it's in the ugly gym." why not just make it "paradise." i dont get that "almost." the "almost" just kills the mood. haha.
i just realized that after spring banquet there's only two more months of school. that's gonna pass by crazy fast what with ap tests and last unicorn performances in may. come and watch the play! i know it's no les mis or irvington performance, but you should support the whs theatre anyways and come out to see it. wow, junior year has passed by freaking fast. since my hardest year of high school is coming to a close end, i figured that i might as well kill myself (theoretically not literally) for the next couple months. i'll study my ass off, and load myself with stress then i can just chill afterwards. i think it's a good plan =D.

me and my mum (<---i've always wanted to use that word. it's cool) dropped off my dad at the airport today. he's gonna be gone to china for ten days. im gonna freaking starve for ten days. no fooood to eat. ahhhhhh. yeah my mom can cook, sorta, but it's not like my dad's cooking. yuuuuuum. i'll be eating hum dum food for the next ten days.
since my grandma's been visiting china for the past six months, my dad flew over to pick her up. yeah it sounds weird, but since my grandma has high blood pressure (or was it sugar? dont remember) she didn't wanna come home alone. so my dad's gonna be over in China eating good food and visiting friends/relatives. ah, i wish i could go. i wanna go see my cousins, aunts/uncles, and aunts/uncles that aren't really blood related but i call them aunt and uncle anyways. haha. and i want to eat good food and buy cheap stuff too =D
my stress is overcrowding me. school, interact, last unicorn, school, interact, last unicorn, school, interact, last unicorn, school, interact, last unicorn, school, interact, last unicorn, school, interact, last unicorn, school, interact, last unicorn, school, interact, last unicorn, school, interact, last unicorn, school, interact, last unicorn, school, interact, last unicorn, school, interact, last unicorn.
yeah, you get the cycle. even practice for unicorn is getting annoying. at the last practice i was sitting in the sun waiting for my cue when a shoe comes flying into my side. i think it broke like all my ribs. holy crap. i turn around and there's corey walking down the amphitheatre with one shoe on. him and haley were like raping each other on the amphitheater steps and his shoe came flying off. it didn't fly forever though. it got stopped by my body. what a lucky shoe.
im trying to get all my campaign stuff for the spring banquet together. i gotta buy some labels. anyways, i thought this was funny. it was (milpitas) christine's away message:
FRIENDS
Me and You are Friends...
You Fight, I Fight...
Your Hurt, I Hurt...
You Cry, I Cry...
You're Happy, I'm Happy...
You Jump Off a Bridge...
I'm Gonna Miss Your Dumb Ass.
hahahaha. it's funny how it starts off all sentimental then at the end there's an abrupt change in tone. haha =D. well no charmed/alias tonight so i guess im doing hw. woot.

ap prep group today afternoon. morse kept on calling the people with mr. jones "jonesies". it was hecka weird. haha. the study session was only enlivened when for some reason a Friends episode got brought up. no clue how that came about. but we were talking about the episode where ross buys a couch and he's trying to get it up his apartment stairs. "pivot. pivot. pivot! PIVOT!!!!!!" hahahaha. i couldn't get that out of my head.
i was reading my articles from the Hatchet issue that came out on friday, and i really really really really LOVE my DDR article. but it seriously could happen. DDR a sport at mission? very likely. haha. in case no one knows "snoopy wuhoo" is me. took me awhile to think up that nickname for our fun issue. and yay! interact is in the newspaper! i dont know if that'll increase our member participation but hopefully it will. *crosses fingers.* ah, that article brings back good memories. what a wonderful night on SF Bay =D.
ah, random funny thought: (this is going to show how productive us AP French IV kiddies are). on april first, called poisson d'avril, in french madame kamei was passing around colored goldfish. she gave us french iv kids a huge tupperware container full of goldfish. so while i was eating them i was tossing them into the air for reed to catch them. he's pretty good. then we decided to both toss and catch at the same time. hahhaha. that had to be one of the funniest things you could imagine. cuz sometimes we'd throw them hecka low or waaaay off course from the other person's mouth. it took us at least twenty tries before we both tossed and caught the goldfish at the same time. it's stuff like that that's preparing me for the AP test. haha.
ah! my sis has to be at med school (she chose drexel) on july 27th. agh. that's so soon. *sigh*.
what else is there to sigh about? i can't see les mis at msjhs!!!!!!! ahhhhhhh. i heard it was soooo freaking good. but when me and wendy called on monday to get tickets they were ALL sold out. wendy got a message yesterday saying that two spots freed up for friday night, but when she tried calling them back no one answered! erks. but now wendy's seeing it tonight cuz her spanish teacher got her an extra ticket! ahhh! im so jealous. i wanna see that play. damn. well, gtg do hw now.

damn, some people in this world have major connipitions. some guy named jetasu, er w/e his name is, started leaving random comments at my blog. i dont really mind that it's some random person cuz it IS an online blog so people ONLINE do read it. but he SO freaking rude. at one of my earlier entries he put this: "So kill your self. Do the world a favor. You're not happy, fine, kill yourself. People like you should not be allowed to have blogs."
okay, people like him should not be allowed to leave comments. if i had a lower self-esteem i might kill myself thanks to that jackass. thank goodness i don't though. in an earlier blog entry he put he hated how i typed "you" as "u" and "cool" as "kewl" and "people" as "ppl". well it's people like him that think everything should be one way. it's people like him that don't allow other people to do their own thing because they're so quick to stereotype and judge. it's people like him that make me understand why Holden would never want to grow up. he represents all the "F---- You's" written on all the walls. that guy's the reason why HOlden wants to keep the kids from falling off the cliff.
and people like that make me mad. they dont make me mad because i feel insulted. they make me mad because it is so completely rude to insult people you don't even know. the world's a hard place enough without people making it harder. aren't there enough societal pressures and stereotypes without the "jetasus" making it worse? i don't know. im not going to do anything cuz that would be stooping to his level. dont get me wrong, im not the nicest person there is nor am i the saintliest. but it honestly AMAZES me how rude some people in this world really are. tell me, is it SO hard to keep nasty comments to yourself? is it so hard to not judge people you dont know? is it really that hard? cuz i find it pretty damn simple.
Sandeep: my dad bought a hunting knife for protection..
Me: hahahaha
Sandeep: so it wouldnt hurt to stab this guy a few times
Sandeep: maybe put him in a trashcan
Me: hahahahhaha
Sandeep: :-D
he has no idea who i am and yet he IMs me and starts saying all this bull. it's just so hard for me to imagine doing that. he doesn't know anything about my life. he prefers to stick with his image of me being a blonde ditz, or something of the sort. he doesn't know the classes i take, the stuff i've been through in life. cuz a person is made up of more than what they put in their blog, which i've had for only a year. i'm shaped by my life experiences and he doesn't know any of it. so i guess i don't hold it against him even though i would luv to give him a swift kick to his head. makes me mad, that there are ppl out there like that. but what can you do yenno? not much.
he says he's nice to ppl who deserve it. that shows how much he knows about me doesn't it? cuz everything i do with interact is just bullshit isn't it? well, if he's not going to be nice to me, i think i'll live. i kinda feel bad for him though. i wonder why? it seems sad to me to go around insulting random people you find online cuz you think their blog sucks. to hurl insults at people cuz maybe it makes yourself feel better. it's a sad existence. this entry was long enough. i need some food. yum =D.

i am now going to tell a stupid story about myself. i was putting away the catfood in the corner when i saw a FAT mosquito. and i mean it was FAT. heecccka big. it's not like im scared of insects, cuz im not. i'm just prone to getting stung by mosquitos and i didnt' feel like having a fat bite that would constantly itch. so i promptly dropped the cat food and i backed away from the mosquito, tripping over three pairs of shoes, and falling onto the sofa backwards. while i was trying to get over the sofa, i was also trying to kick off my shoes, but it wasn't working. so im lying on the sofa, shrieking, kicking my legs in the air and failing my arms. i finally get both shoes off and i flip over the sofa successfully. not exactly gracefully but nevertheless successfully. so i get up, turn around, and find my mom and sister staring at me.
mom: what is it, what is it!?!?
me: there was a really big mosquito
mom: thats it!? i thought u were having a seizure
haha. so that was a fun experience =P

hmmm. i was starting to think that the letter i got from D.C. was a total hoax, since so many other of my friends got it and they threw it away. but then i read nicy's comment:
hey steph! its my nicy! mymy we havent talked since forever!! newho! i jus wanted to say that i got that same letter as you did and i actually went to NYLC!! it was one of the best trips ive ever gone to!! i met soo many ppl and made soo many friendships from ppl all over the US..if you do go..you also get to be invited to GYLC where you meet ppl from all over the world and visit DC and NYC!! i wanted to do that but im broke and my parents wanted to save $$ for college =/ so i really encourage you to go! you can tell them that it'll look good on ur college app..well good luck on convincing ur parents!

hmmm...sounds good =D. i guess that shows it's not fake. i didnt' think it was originally cuz it didn't LOOK like a fake. i mean, it was a legitimate leadership thing. so i guess i'll fill out the scholarship application and see what happens.
IM BACK IN A TERMITE-FREE HOME!!! WOOT WOOT! yay! im excited.
