Dreaming about the twins

2011-09-18T08:05:00.002-04:00

Last night I had a dream that I saw Stephen and his twin together.
Apparently we were friends and so we went somewhere to make rings.
I got a clay one and put a sapphire in it. Afterwards I got this imprint that said "I *shapeofheart* *shapeofSLRcamera*" then Stephen who was right next to me said "no" and took my ring from me and erased the camera and said "hmm should I write you?" but then he didn't and erased the whole thing writing "I like you" and handed it back to me and asked "what about you?"
I didn't answer him right away and just placed my head on his shoulder.

Later I did ended up saying "I love you" to him.

And I woke up.

Isn't this twintastic?

2011-09-18T07:53:00.003-04:00

I wrote this a while back, but apparently mobile posts doesn't work anymore D:

What I wanted to say is that Stephen's twin brother lives in my dorm hall. I ran into him at the door once when I was heading out and he was heading in. He held the door open for me, Natalie, and Haylie. Since he made no recognition of knowing us, we thought it was weird. (Actually first time I saw him was after the first hall meeting, but I didn't wave or anything because I thought it was awkward that Stephen lived in my hall).

The next time I saw him was when Natalie, Haylie, and I were headed upstairs to pick up our homework so we could go to the study lounge. This time I asked "You're not Stephen right?"
His reply was "No, I'm his twin" Actually, I knew this earlier that day because I went to throw out my trash and decided to take the door in from the end of the hall so I could check out names, Stephen's name wasn't in the hall at all.

So yeah. Stephen's twin lives in my dorm hall. I have yet to ask him what his name is, and I wonder if Stephen told him about me... Gah. Why am I so weird with Stephen? (as in sending him those April Fools joke text!) F this lifeeeeee whyyyyy

Ordering stuff & more shopping

2011-07-04T20:10:00.003-04:00

Yesterday I got my Ravenclaw tie! I can now officially tie the Windsor knot. Before I could only do the 4 in hand, but didn't like it much.

Today I was able to order the HTC Inspire! :D I also ordered the case/ screen protector & Lilo&Stitch big wave edition. I am so excited!

I got a strapless bra for $12.99 at PINK along with a bag for an additional $5 & got 2 really nice shirts at Lacoste.

Stephen also replied back to my text! I always get so giddy when he does :)
I had a little conversation with Randell, it was nice. I kinda miss that guy (in a friend way only)

Independence day text to people

2011-07-04T19:57:00.003-04:00

When I asked how, this is what she responded "The hand gesture. It looks like you're hailin hitler a bit :x i dunno lol"

2011-06-19T14:45:00.001-04:00

Kayla. I don't mean to be offensive.. However. You look kinda like a nazi in your profile picture..... (text from Haylie)

Applied for a credit card today, I'm wayyyyyy too happy.

And I guess this is why I shouldn't crush on Stephen?

2011-05-02T22:24:00.002-04:00

Guess Stephen isn't a Harry Potter fan. He hasn't responded back. Lol oh well. It has been a while since we've texted back and forth like this.

Alright, I'm a liar. So sue me.

2011-05-02T08:22:00.007-04:00

I texted Stephen again along with a bunch of people at 4:22-4:24am saying: "Good luck on your finals! :D"

I did not expect this:
4:25AM Mon, May 2
From: Stephen

haha thx you too

---------
I think I woke the poor guy up. Either that or he was playing Halo xP I'm hoping the latter, but here's what I plan to send back at 9 or 9:30am:
"I'm sorry for waking you up Stephen! I didn't expect a response"
---------

12:52PM Mon, May 2
From: Stephen

You didnt wake me up haha dot worry about it

-Amelia

-------------
I never responded to this text. Before this text I texted her "Truce? I want my best friend back :(" or something along those lines. The reason why she was mad at me was because I told her I was going home for the April Fools weekend.

Dreaming

2011-04-17T09:38:00.002-04:00

I had so many dreams of Stephen last night. I can't remember them clearly, but I know in one I went to his house, his dad talked to my parents about us. There was another dream where we texted each other. Lol gosh. Why was he in those dreams?

I need to just stay inside as much as possible.

2011-04-02T13:03:00.003-04:00

I KEEP RUNNING INTO STEPHEN!
This morning when Haylie and I were heading to ehall for breakfast, we saw him! Hopefully he didn't see us. I didn't say hi or anything... hopefully he didn't notice me...
Then again, he probably didn't.

Made me laugh

2011-04-01T15:15:00.003-04:00

Huh.. I woke seeing it's friday then "april fools" so I thot it was saturday and went back to sleep lol

-Randell

I'll try not to text him anymore

2011-04-01T00:31:00.004-04:00

It's Friday, Friday gotta get down on Friday! (Now that I got that awful song stuck in your head...)
HAPPY FRIDAY!
Oh & April Fools day as well I suppose :D
haha yeah i wont b able to hang, got way too much stuff ii g2 take care of
It's fine. I don't think I would be able to do it either actually xP I can't keep a straight face to save my life & I got some new pranks lol

Btw sorry for spamming you so much. I'll stop.
haha np -Stephen's reply

---------------------------------------------------

I really must stop texting Stephen. I love texting him, I donno why. I guess it's because he's the first guy that I initiated a conversation with and all that... plus he's an islander! I mean LILO & STITCH much!? I freaking love that movie, and so yeah... xP

Spaztastic!

2011-03-30T16:14:00.003-04:00

Okay, so you guys remember that I texted Stephen last night? Thing is... when Haylie and I were on the bus coming back from our lunch in East Campus, Stephen and a girl (who's probably in his class?) came on to the same bus as us and sat RIGHT BEHIND US!

I started to spazz out when I got out of the bus. Haylie had no idea what is going on even though I was showing her texts on the bus. Apparently she forgot how Stephen looked.

I think that Stephen saw me, but I am not sure. I mean Haylie and I were going to get out of the bus when he and his classmate or even girlfriend!? came on the bus. Omgshomgshomgsh. I really hope that he doesn't reply back saying that he could go on with the joke so I can just say APRIL'S FOOL!

ACK! My heart was pounding throughout this whole text.

2011-03-29T23:26:00.005-04:00

11:05PM Tues, Mar 29: Hey Stephen, do you have any good April Fools day joke?
11:06PM Tues, Mar 29: messing with people with my twin is really all ive done b4, you?
11:10PM Tues, Mar 29: I haven't gone all out before. I've told people that I was going to move, I've sealed my parent's shampoo bottles with plastic wrap, and minor stuff like saying I didn't do hw. But I want to do something bigger this year xP
11:11PM Tues, Mar 29: haha you got this!
11:11PM Tues, Mar 29: Want to help me?
11:12PM Tues, Mar 29: depends what we do lol
11:13PM Tues, Mar 29: Alright first of all, are you free Friday around dinner time?
11:15PM Tues, Mar 29: idk things kinda pop up outta nowhere but ill let you know. what did you have in mind?
11:21PM Tues, Mar 29: Well. Thing is I haven't seen people in the group in the last couple of days and won't really see them until this Friday, my roommate and I were going to say that I was in a relationship. Thing is I wanted it to be even bigger prank by finding someone they know but haven't seen in a while. But... I could find another person if this is too awkward xP
11:23PM Tues, Mar 29: haha im just not sure ill have time, ill let you know
11:25PM Tues, Mar 29: Lol just let me know by Thursday xP (sorry for being extremely awkward).

---------------------------------------------------

I cannot believe that this conversation actually took place! I really didn't expect Stephen to reply back to me because he never really has much. BAH! I had butterflies in my stomach.

Annoyed with friends

2011-02-15T21:58:00.002-05:00

Dennis is annoying, we all dislike him now.
Natalie and I kinda want to find a new group of friends because our group of friends aren't willing to hang out much anymore. They would deny lunch and dinner invitation because they are too busy (Lena) or too lazy (Gladys) yet both (Lena and Gladys) would be in their room watching tv or something.
Haylie on the other hand is so bi-polar with her feelings with her boyfriend. First she's mad at him and says she will talk to him. (and then when he comes over, she never does) plus they are like always in bed together (not doing anything but snuggling), but still... PDA. UGH.
I don't even have anything to say about Jessica. She's gone.

Natalie, Rebecca and I have been hanging together most of the time now. Haylie will hang out with us every now and then.

Day before Valentine's day. Being a flirt. Texting Stephen...

2011-02-13T19:06:00.004-05:00

9:27AM Sun, Feb 13
Since I didn't send one out on Friday, and I don't feel like sending one out tomorrow... HAPPY SUNNY (but windy) SUNDAY! :D

12:45PM Sun, Feb 13
haha thx and 2 u 2

1:19PM Sun, Feb 13
Bwhaha thanks Stephen :) hope you're well. It has been ages since we've seen you xP

1:23PM Sun, Feb 13
i know ahhhh

1:35PM Sun, Feb 13
Ahhh? Lol very nice xP

I feel like a creeper because this is what I sent Stephen...
7:01PM Sun, Feb 13
Funny how I said we haven't seen you in a while today and then we run into you at ehall.

11:02PM Sun, Feb 13
i know ironic ha!

Surprise 205 crush

2011-02-10T22:40:00.003-05:00

Haha I saw him right outside the library when I was heading back to my dorm at 10 tonight. He was wearing a gray sweater

Dinner plans

2011-02-10T19:40:00.001-05:00

Today's the SECOND time I've gone to eat dinner with Dennis. Just me and him. BAHHHH. It's not that awkward, but still somewhat awkward.

Isolations. Growing apart.

2011-02-10T11:15:00.006-05:00

Not that I mind eating alone on Tuesday and Thursday for lunch, but our "group" is slowly growing apart.

Haylie was sick (I totally forgot to mention this), she had a temperature of 103 degrees on the 3rd (Chinese New Years) and she was being very difficult. She was crying and complaining a lot.
She is still a bit sick now, but a whole lot better. She has gotten mean though. I dislike how she complains and calls out my name randomly. It's annoying.

Dennis is now in a frat. Let's see how this goes. He doesn't seem to be the frat boy type of guy, but let's see what time does to him.

Lena has a busy schedule, if she's not meeting with people in the NSA, she's meeting with her small or large group.

Gladys, hmm what to say about her? I think she's avoiding me? She made dinner plans, but sent them to Natalie on FB, and she texted Haylie? Whatever...

Jessica moved, and she's basically to far to hang out with us and stuff.

Natalie seems to be the only one who stayed the same (at least for now). I am still able to talk to her more than the others I guess?

BAHhalsjfieropi. On the plus side I am making friends with people in my classes and I am more involved with CKI.

Writing.

2011-02-10T11:11:00.002-05:00

I write when I want to. Why do I post these silly blog posts up? I post them up because I want to come back later to read about my past. When I am assigned to write something for a class, my tone of voice is different. It's more serious and proper. Right now I am not writing with that tone of voice in mind. I am just writing to get my feelings out. I am writing because I want to, not because I have to. I am writing for MYSELF.

I dislike when we get writing assignments that prompts us to write about ourselves. It's like comparing that paper to art. Art is a form of expression. You cannot GRADE art.

2011-02-08T22:44:00.002-05:00

Dennis got into a music frat o.O;;

Beginning of the month and rabbits

2011-02-01T09:22:00.002-05:00

It's the 1st of the month, so if you say "rabbit" three times, you'll have luck for the month! :D so... here's what I sent people in the group (except Jessica)

12:00am Tue, February 1
"Rabbit rabbit rabbit!"

From Stephen (the person who reply to these texts most of the time):
8:22AM Tue, February 1
"haha did u see a rabbit?"

9:21am Tue, February 1
"Ahaha no... It's the beginning of the month! xP"

9:22AM Tue, February 1
"lol right :P"

9:25am Tue, February 1
"That comment made my morning lol. How have [I actually wrote 'gave'] you been?"

9:26AM Tue, February 1
"Great! life is moving along smoothly"

9:27am Tue, February 1
":D yay!"

------------------------------------

I forgot to mention, Chinese New Year is in two days! It's on the 3rd this year and it's the year of the Rabbit. How fun is that?

------------------------------------

On another note...
My crushing life is a mess. Well, not on my side really, but it's totally bothering me because a bunch of my friends are shipping me with guys. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Natalie, Lena and Gladys (to some extent) thinks that Gilbert would be a cute couple. UGHHHH. He looks so old, he's scruffy and well... he's just not the type of guy I want to go out with...

Gladys and Haylie's mom thinks I would be cute with Dennis because we're both asian. OMG. Seriously? *facepalm* I mean he's nice and all, but BLECK.

I like to text Stephen, I mean it's fun, plus I'm always happy when I get his texts... that doesn't mean I like him does it? Well... I kinda do, but kinda don't. I don't know how to describe it.

WAHHHHHH I hate boy trouble. Why must I be so freaking nice and confuse the heck out of guys "/ I just don't like being mean. That's all :(

Switching major?

2011-01-28T08:54:00.002-05:00

Man. I am such a teacher's pet in my COB 204 (computer info. system) class xP

I really like the class and I am really considering to minor in CIS, if not majoring in it altogether.

Blizzard like conditions

2011-01-26T14:42:00.002-05:00

"Happy snow-filled Wednesday!!!!!! :D" I sent this text to Stephen. He hasn't responded yet. Lol probably won't?

He never did. I didn't send him a Happy Friday text xP

Flirt in training

2011-01-24T07:14:00.003-05:00

I sent this text to the group and decided to added Stephen too because I decided that I like to flirt xP "Happy (though not really) Monday! :D"

Worked in a group of 3 other people in my Econ class today. One of the guy is named John the other is Casey. John has really nice eyes and he lives in my hometown. He seems like a jock though. Casey on the other hand seems a bit shy and emotional type. He was wearing green though, but he spoke very softly and didn't seem smiley. There was a girl in my group, but I have no idea what her name is. John told me his name and I got a glance at Casey's paper.

11:24am Mon, Jan 24
"happy though not really monday 2 u too!"
Was the reply I got back from Stephen ;)
I'm just going to leave it at that since I know that he won't text back after I say "thanks!"

Complain complain complain

2011-01-23T15:29:00.004-05:00

I really really feel like ranting, but I wasn't sure if I really wanted to blog about this or not. I've decided to blog about it in the end. If not I am just going to have these thoughts in my head all day. It's better to just release them now than later.

Yesterday my roommate Haylie went out with Lena and Gladys, while Natalie, Dennis, Rebecca and I stayed in watching Lilo & Stitch and then Coraline. She didn't come home until nearly 2. She said it was bad (then again, the first time she went out it didn't work out well. I don't see why she went again) She said it was because she was mad at her boyfriend. I think that's only half of the problem. She gave into peer pressure from Gladys (I shall rant about this gal later. She bothers me as well...) Haylie also complains about not being able to go to the better dining hall and that "it's too early" when I woke her up at 10:30 so we (Natalie, Dennis and us) could go eat breakfast, so we rescheduled until noon, but she took her time and we nearly missed the bus so Natalie told Dennis that we were going to eat at the closer dining hall.
While walking Haylie proceeded to talk about last night, when I told her that it she should've hung out with us and all that, she said "shut up Kayla". Well geez woman. I was trying to be a good friend, but heck if you don't want me to offer advice, you won't get any. Oh yeah she also said she couldn't sleep well because I kept waking her up. GOSHDANGIT. I was only trying to wake her up because I didn't want her left behind when we head to breakfast.
I mean all in all she's a good kid, but she doesn't have a spine. She isn't able to stand up for herself because she could be easily persuaded. I don't like that aspect of people "/

Hmm... I think it's also time for me to complain about Gladys.

I don't see her as the greatest person in the world, she's bossy, cold and a disaster waiting to happen. She's inconsiderate and pretty much thinks about herself most of the time.
Why am I friends with her? Well... she lives in my dorm floor. She's friend with most of my friends too. (Wow, that was really cold wasn't it)?

Is my subconscious trying to tell me something?

2011-01-22T08:07:00.002-05:00

I had a dream today that I knew Stephen more and that he invited me over to his house, we were somewhat a couple...

------------------------------------------

Do I seriously like this guy again? BAH! He's confusing me so much. I don't want to like him, but he is somewhat likeable. I barely talk to him more, so I don't text him as much. The problem with that is, now I randomly get texts from him and it makes me smile! GRAW.

"happy friday! feel like i owe u for all ur messages haha"

Text I got from Stephen today. He makes me smile.

I replied
"Thank you Stephen :D Happy Friday to you too! Enjoy your weekend. (are you excited for the basketball game tomorrow, are you excited?)"
but he didn't send anything back, so I just continued on with my life.

Erm, I guess I should say hi to you the second time I see you in one day...

2011-01-15T19:29:00.002-05:00

I saw Stephen twice today at the dining hall (e). Once during breakfast, I avoided him then, then saw him again during dinner. That time I said hi because he saw me when I was entering.

Owing money

2011-01-14T19:00:00.002-05:00

Any of you guys not a fan of owing people money or when people owe you money?
I dislike owing people things in general. I also am not a huge fan of people owing me things. That's why I tend to be reserve when friends want to trade clothes or books or even music.

Haylie's birthday was in November and we got her the Beauty & the Beast blueray dvd (it costed around $25 with tax) I was the one who paid for that gift and the others needed to pay me back... Natalie was the only one who paid me back. The others (Dennis, Jessica, Gladys and Lena) didn't. Now the 2 people left are Gladys and Lena.

Gladys has quite a bossy personality, when I mentioned that she owed me $4 today, she's starting defending herself saying "well you guys owe me money too for someone's birthday". There were only 5 birthdays so far: Natalie, Lena, Dennis, Haylie and mines. The gift for Lena and Haylie, I paid, the one for Dennis, Natalie paid.

Whatever.

Personal bubble

2011-01-07T19:43:00.003-05:00

My winter break is ending in 2 days. I am heading back to my university Sunday morning. I really don't know how to exactly express my feelings. I know I have to go back there & I REALLY want to go back there because I hate being at home. I am almost always stuck inside and I have to hear arguments that my family has with the neighbors. I really don't like the neighbors much anymore. The older people get, the more difficult it is to deal with them (ouch).
Anyway, I miss my friends back at my university more than I miss the friends I have here. Is that a bad thing? I mean the friends I've met here I've known for ages. The ones I've met at my university, I've only known for a few months... but it seems like I've known them for ages. I actually don't mind hanging out with them. Hang outs I have with friends here during breaks are alright, but I don't know. The feeling just isn't the same.
I kind of have a feeling I will miss home, but I really miss the campus and freedom I get there.
I don't have to hear "what are you doing?, are you hungry? are you hot or cold?" and I don't have to be touched.

I have this personal bubble. It's surrounding the outer layers of my skin. It's invisible, but it's there. I dislike people invading my bubble. I dislike being touch. This bubble + my personality protects me from people. Sure, if I let my defenses down and I feel comfortable enough around you, I will give you a hug, but that's it. klajsdiaispue

What five words do you see?

2011-01-04T09:28:00.002-05:00

What five words do you see?

“Our psychological state allows us to see only what we want/need/feel to see at a particular time.”

This is what I saw:
Naked
Secret
Hate
Leave
Crush

--------------------------------------------

I can't quite explain to you guys why I saw that... the words I saw made it seem like I was in an undercover relationship and my lover has left me after a one night stand or something... Er. Sorry to say, but that didn't happen.

Real life Stephanie Plum characters?

2011-01-03T10:29:00.003-05:00

Ahaha. It seems like I just saw a real life Morelli and Grandma Mazur.
Basically I saw a cop pulling over a older woman on the road. He was standing near the driver door and she had her windows rolled down.

1/29/11:
Yesterday I watched Criminal Minds with Gladys and the guy who played Derek Morgan (Shemar Moore) is the perfect Ranger in my mind. He's so freaking hot.

4/2/11:
I think that David Boreanaz would be a good Morelli (he's of Italian decent for heaven's sake! It's perfect!)

Love

2011-01-02T08:01:00.003-05:00

Alright, so I feel like doing one of those blogs that I haven't done in eons. You know that one that goes deep into thinking and just allow me to talk about my opinions rather than some stupid little thing that one of my friends did or what my crush did.

----------------------------------------------------

So, what is love? I think it's different for everyone we know. I mean so far I have 3 kinds of love in mind.

Family (parents)- This type of love seems more of an obligation (ouch, that word seems a bit too much. I should find a thesaurus). They are always there for me. When there were monsters in the dark, when I felt useless, they were always there. They encourage me to be who I am and do what I can. I love them because of their support.
Friends- They make me who I am. They are who I hang out with, who I laugh with, who I share crush stories (or any kind of stories for the matter) with. They're like the siblings I've never had (I'm an only child).
Crush, boyfriend, fiancé, husband-This type of love I haven't had much experience with yet. I've only gone to the crush stage (pretty pathetic, I know). But this love causes too much problems and stupidity.
1) Butterflies (or knots) in the stomach feeling: It's a weird feeling I must admit. It feels terrible, but then again you feel happy about it.
2) That tinge of jealousy you get when they don't text you back or see you when you see them. Or when they're with the opposite gender.
3) The idiotic smile you have on your face when you think about them (must I go into further details?)
4) Excuses you make up to talk to them.
5) Not being able to focus on your life because all you can do is think about them.
6) Daydreaming

That's really all I have to say about "love" for now.

Girl Language

2011-01-02T08:00:00.000-05:00

When I said sorry, believe me I feel it.
When you see me starting to cry, hold me and tell me everything’s gonna be alright.
When I ignore you, give me your attention.
When I’m quiet, ask me what’s wrong.
When I push or hit you, grab me and don’t let go.
When I’m mad and I walked away from you, follow me.
If I didn’t text you, it’s because I’m waiting for you to text me.
When I say I love you, Don’t doubt. I mean it.

Christmas text

2010-12-25T07:45:00.005-05:00

Starting at 12:02am I got "Merry Christmas!" texts from people:
Haylie, Anna, Amelia, Samantha, girl from my h.s., Angelica

So when I woke up I texted:

Merry Christmas! Wishing you all one filled with much joy, laughter and snow! (if they are calling for snow where you're living) :D

I sent that text to 30 people (7 people in 'the group' because Stephen was included, 7 people in my class, 6 people in my dorm hall, and Amelia, Emily, Hazel, Angelica, Alison, Anna, Alicia, Samantha, and two other people from high school as a morning text).

I got replies from:

a junior study buddy in my math class 7:36 "U too! ♥"
girl across from my dorm room 7:37 "Thank you, you too! :)"
Alison 7:47 "Merry Christmas to u too hon!!! And yes I want snow!!!"
Natalie 8:13 "Thanks Kayla! You have a great christmas too XD"
Jessica 8:17 "Merry Christmas to you too, Kayla!"
Emily 9:32 "Thanks so much kay! I hope your day is filled with magic (and magic combs)"
Stephen 10:03 "merry xmas 2 you too !"
Hazel 11:27 "Merry christmas y'all!!! Have a snow-filled, present-filled day/ weekend off!! :)"
Junior who took macroeconomics 12:26pm "Merry Christmas to you too! Hope it's amazing for you as well : )"
Gilbert 1:16 "Lol. you too Kayla! i hope you get lots of awesome gifts and enjoy time with family!"
Girl from my h.s. who had like 4 classes with me last year (texted me earlier) 1:41 "Thanks kayla enjoy :)"
Girl from my dorm wing 2:04 "Thank you and merry christmas to you too!"
Gladys 2:37 "Merry Christmas!"
Dennis 3:15 "Merry Christmas! I'd send you a picture of my family's tree, but it's a bit undecorated at the moment..."
Alicia 4:03 "Happy holidays ((: meow"
Lena 4:05 "Thanks Kayla! Merry Christmas!"

Unsettling feeling in the stomach, but you know what? I can still be optimistic

2010-12-21T13:40:00.002-05:00

My grades were crummy
Chinese B-
GISAT and GBUS C+
Math D+
GECON D

But you know what? If I try REALLY REALLY hard Spring semester... I can still be an accounting major.

Crummy finals grades. Goodbye major.

2010-12-16T08:48:00.003-05:00

Well... I cannot get into the college of business any longer. My final grade for my math was a 64.5
That's a D. I probably failed my Macroeconomics and well this is all very disappointing.
I now have to think of a different major. Great...
Even the snow outside isn't making me feel any better.

2010-12-16T07:58:00.001-05:00

"GOOD MORNING SUNSHINE!!! good luck with your examm"

-Haylie's text to me at 1:02am this morning

I want to go home NOW.

2010-12-15T19:21:00.004-05:00

I finished my GBUS exam today. It didn't go as well as I hoped. There were 100 questions and I had 2 hours to complete it. That apparently was not enough time for me. I had at least 15 questions left unanswered when I had 5 minutes left. So... I did what I would usually do. I just clicked on random answers and even with that I didn't have enough time to answer them all. Why oh why must I skip around?

My friends are starting to go home one by one. First was Haylie, then Lena left this afternoon and Gladys is leaving tonight.
The only people left are Natalie, Dennis and Jessica.
Not a huge fan of Jessica, but Natalie and Dennis are cool.
I just really want to go home. I don't want to do any more exams. I suck at them. I just want to go to sleep right now. I want to wake up early to work on my exam, but I am worried that it won't work out.

They are also calling for a winter advisory tomorrow. Fabulous...
Gosh I am so sleepy. I plan to just go to bed right after I say goodbye to Gladys since she said she was going to drop by when she's leaving.

Oooh so ironic -________-;

2010-12-14T14:39:00.002-05:00

Have I complained about my wing-mates being loud in this blog before?
Oh. I haven't... well I will now.
Most of them are utterly obnoxious sometimes.
You can just forget about them being considerate about the quite hours we normally have (let alone the 24 hours quite hours we have this entire week starting on Friday the 10th) and then yesterday one of them *coughWhitneycough* posted this up on her FB: "Dear everyone in Albertforth Hall, SHUT THE HELL UP. Apparently no one knows what "24-hour quiet hours" means. Thanks."

Right...
You see Haylie and I have 8am on MWF. Sometimes we attempt to go to bed at a decent time to wake up in the morning and not feel grumpy. Problem is... WE'D HEAR ROARING LAUGHTER THROUGH OUR DOORS AND WALLS. It has happened numerous times and I've gone to them at least 2 or 3 times asking them be quiet. Haylie on the otherhand did it once or twice.
One night we were reading stuff on "Damn you autocorrect" and we were told to be quiet by Whitney. We were told to quiet down TWICE that day. WTF? Once was earlier that day when The group (Haylie, Dennis, Lena, Jessica, Gladys and Natalie) threw me a surprise in my dorm right for my birthday. Streamers and balloons were EVERYWHERE. Then Bella asked us to close our door because she had to write a paper.

Only reason I am writing about this is because of the irony of Whitney saying what she said on FB.

So long Intro Calc and Macroeconomics! You're outta my life! (for now...)

2010-12-14T09:23:00.006-05:00

I am now done with two finals. Both were disgusting. I did not study enough, and if I did, I wasn't studying the right thing.
In my math exam on the very last page I wrote a little note to my teacher. Haha. I was just prolonging time because I didn't want to work on the problems I did not know. I also didn't want to leave before Chris (I don't know if that's his name or not, so I am just going to call him that). He took a while though, so I left. Sad to say I won't see him anymore... unless he's going to be in one of my classes for spring semester (though I highly doubt that) if he is, I really would like to take the initiative to talk to him. I mean he's not super cute, but he's not bad looking at all. He looks cute when he smiles and c'mon he looks like he's mixed American and Korean. That's just adorable. The only friend here that has seen him is Natalie that day when we were getting dinner. This is funny because she said she was proud of me for calling a guy "cute" but I am sure that I have told her that I thought that Stephen was adorable before. Oh yeah about Stephen... he's really not that attractive... the facial hair needs to be shaved, his body doesn't really seem to fit his face... and WOW. I am a horrible person. I am judging a person based on their exterior!
Goodness. And what's with me moving on to the topic of boys? ARGH. Wasn't I talking about my exam before this? Goshdangit.

I only have my GBUS and GISAT exams left. I do not have any today (YAY!!!!!!! *does a happy dance*)
I was up since 5:30 this morning (again). I really need to stop doing that... but I can't! When I sleep in I think that I am just wasting study time. Then when I wake up I don't do anything until like 7 because at 6-6:30 I am online going on the SV site, checking my email, FB, doing the daily clicks... then I go SHOOT! I should study, then I start studying and then I get tired by around 8-ish so I head back up the room and then I started just listening to music, got freebies on neopets and starting typing out stuff on this blog.

On another note: Gladys, Natalie and I were discussing Haylie's bf problem yesterday and Gladys said she shouldn't dump him, but she should talk to him. Oh & Haylie is going home today.

That's all I am going to blog about now. I am going to head down to the tv lounge and study like a good student... *cough*

Snow and Finals do NOT mix.

2010-12-13T06:37:00.002-05:00

Remember I was talking about how pretty the snow was yesterday?
I was too excited I wasn't able to sleep until sometime around midnight and now it has come back to bite me in the butt.

This morning I wanted to wake up at 5, but didn't wake up until 5:20. I went to shower and then when I got back and checked my phone. This is what I got: "University is opening at 10 a.m. on Monday, Dec. 13, 2010 due to weather check out the University site for revised exam schedule"
and I did... guess what?

"Exams originally scheduled from 8 - 10 a.m. this morning are rescheduled for 8:30 - 10:30 p.m. this evening, Monday, Dec. 13, 2010. All other exams will be held at their originally scheduled time and location."

FML.

Little things that are making me smile before exams tomorrow

2010-12-12T20:29:00.004-05:00

We made eye contact and I smiled lol. Then after he got his pasta I was still in line for chicken fingers and fries and he walked by right in front of me and smiled :D well, technecially he bumped into my left sholder, I apoligized (because I'm like that) he smiled then said it's alright.

sad thing is I am breaking out and I was wearing a dorky hat to keep my ears warm. Oh and I am not going to see him after tomorrow because we're taking our math finals tomorrow :(

The weather outside is also making me happy :D (it's snowing/raining!)

Gosh. I feel kajslkfjasiedaiw. I woke up at 6:30am this morning and I don't feel accomplished at all. GRAW.

Roommate and her bf problem

2010-12-12T08:23:00.003-05:00

Yesterday Haylie and I had a serious conversation about her boyfriend. She was in need of someone to talk to. She is really unhappy with him because:

Friday night he bought her to a 21st birthday of someone they both know, but then he went off to drink and left her by herself.
For her birthday he got her a spoon that he stole from Ihop (he didn't get her anything else & they did hang out over Thanksgiving break at the mall. He didn't ask if she wanted anything there).
She said she doesn't like the way he treats her friends (usually when he sees us around campus he makes a face. Natalie told me and Haylie that she once saw Haylie's boyfriend coming out of a class and she said "Hi!" and the look on his face made it seem like he never met her in his life).
He lied about not having a girlfriend before Haylie. He only told her that on Friday night when he was drunk.
He keeps apologizing and saying that she deserves better (she knows that).
He tells her he wants to hang out with her only when he's drunk.
He calls her name and then say JK! I don't mean it afterwards (eg. geek, because she wasn't drinking).
He plays smacking her in the arm (while looking like a retard doing it too). She feels like in some way he's kind of "hitting her" indirectly.

So now she is annoyed, confused and angry with this situation. She is thinking about dumping him, but then that would just make everything awkward because she is in Marching band with him and they are both going to the London and Paris trip over winter break.

Sadly I really don't know what to tell her. I know she should dump him because the relationship is making her sad. How she goes about doing that... I really have no idea.

Final day of Fall Semester 2010 classes and a couple of rants.

2010-12-10T08:37:00.008-05:00

Today I woke up at my normal MWF scheduled time (6:30am) because my professor said there would be open hours in the classroom for anyone interested. When I went to the class not a single soul was there. It was 8am and already (the time of my class) and I wasn't willing to be the only there in the classroom so I went back to my dorm (which was only 2 minutes away) haha.

I am going going to take 4 final exams instead of my 5. I am not taking my Chinese final because when I went to class yesterday (for the review session) only 2 other people were there. Only one was going to take it because he wants to boost up his grade to a B-. The review session seemed a tad bit hard, so I decided not to ruin my B- and disregard the final because it's optional.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jessica's roommate does not want to live with her anymore because she would wake up at like 3am in the morning (due to her sleep walk) and stand at her roommate's bedside. Not to be mean or anything, but Jessica is pretty darn creepy. I would probably request a roommate change too if that were to happen. Jessica and her roommate had problems before then too. This news was broken by our RA to Jessica on Wednesday. She started crying afterwards. Yesterday she told me it wasn't because she was sad, but because she was frustrated and pissed. (Note to self: never piss off Jessica)

``````````````````````````````````````````

Gladys is getting more and more irritated by Jessica's actions. She once invited all of us to dinner and then just went to dinner without us all. Second, she gave Dennis his birthday card without everyone being there. Final strike happened yesterday when Gladys and Jessica had class in the same building and Gladys asked Jessica if she wanted to walk back to the dorm with Gladys once they were done with class (they were done around the same time) and Jessica said sure. At 1:20 Gladys got out. She waited for half an hour to get a phone call from Jessica saying that she was already back at the dorm and that she got out of class at 1:15. Jessica did not send a text to Gladys at all and kept Glady waiting all that time waiting for nothing.

------------------------------------------------

Stephen was the only one in my group of college friends that replied back to my weekly Friday text (I haven't been sending it to him lately because I did not see the point since he didn't reply to it once or twice -haha, then again most people don't reply to it except for Jessica and Natalie every now and then-) but since he sent me that text on Monday, I thought I should send him this text as well:
"Happy Friday & final day of classes!

G'luck on all your finals! :D (I won't send a text Monday in case it'll be distracting to anyone studying)."

His response:
"Thx u 2 kayla!"

I am so confused with this. I mean I'm not really crushing on him anymore. He's not even that attractive... it's just kinda cool to get a text back from a guy that I've liked before. Oh gosh. I am such an attention wh0**... "/

Fall Semester ends soon and Winter break is just around the corner

2010-12-07T23:38:00.002-05:00

I cannot believe that I've been in college for about a full semester already! My finals are next week. I am a tad bit worried to tell you the truth. I really have no idea how my grades are going to be. I plan to study all weekend and organize my notes. I am so glad that my GBUS professor was nice enough to reschedule my exam for me since I was going to have to take 3 on Monday.

Random text and spotting

2010-12-07T22:52:00.005-05:00

Yesterday I got a text from Stephen yesterday (apparently I was the only that got it). It said something along the line of "2 weeks left!"
I guess he texted me because I went cold turkey on texting him (except I did text him on my birthday because he leveled up to a gold belt in his Tae Kwan Do class).

Oddly today when Natalie and I went to Dennis' concert she saw both Gilbert and Stephen (doubt they saw us though). I think the both left before we did too. But yeah...
Natalie likes to tease me about Gilbert and Stephen. Haha oh goodness. I should also mention that I kinda think a guy in my math class is cute. He looks like he's a korean/ american mix. He's tall and I really don't know much about him except for the fact that his name is Chris... or at least I think it's Chris? LOL

A little rant about attachment

2010-11-25T20:25:00.002-05:00

It may just be because we're older than her, Angelica looks up to us (Amelia and my group of friends) and feel the need to hang out with us.
It's not like she's a terrible kid, but seeing how she's not really our age and that our group of friends are now college students who haven't seen each other since the summer, she really shouldn't be texting us inquiring about a hang out.
For one thing, I wasn't able to see Emily until yesterday. I saw Angelica and Amelia on 10/29.
Amelia is my best friend...
Angelica is an underclassmen I talk to on occasions. The college I am currently attending is her 3rd choice after UVA and PSU. However, she might be forced to go to GMU because of the cost. It's not going to be hard for her to get into most of the colleges she's applying to either, but I am worried now! What if she does end up going to my university? OH GOSH. We'd be hanging out more than I want to. I already have a group of friend at my college & I am quite happy with that group of friend thank you very much. lakslkdnajsnilduoai (sorry for the keyboard slam, but it's just bothering me and I had to get it out).

Hanging out with Friends vs. Sleep (part: unknown)

2010-11-07T15:10:00.003-05:00

This has been happening way too often for my own good. I am lacking so much sleep!
I mean I know I should sleep and all that, but seriously. I just end up taking mini-naps during the late night hang outs.
On Friday/Saturday night I didn't sleep until 4-ish am and then yesterday I didn't sleep until 4:30am, but it was daylight savings, so It was basically like 5am.
Goodness. I need sleep.

Friday text with Stephen. I think this is the most I've talked to him.

2010-11-06T21:23:00.004-04:00

Me (6:31am mass message to the group): HAPPY FRIDAY! Just 2 more weeks until Thanksgiving break! :D
Stephen (11:59am): haha happy friday!
Me (12:01pm): :D How was your week? We haven't seen you in a while xP
Stephen (12:01pm): it was great! lots of work and little relaxing time! haha

Stephen (12:10pm): lol wuts the doc on?
Me (12:12pm): Water, the title of the documentary is called "Poisoned Water" and it's on the PBS website.
Stephen (12:12pm): Haha, well u have fun with that.

Scheduling for the day

2010-10-27T07:38:00.002-04:00

Today I am going to feel overwhelmed. I am quite sure about that.
My plan today is to go to my 8am
Head over to the computer lab to take the Tech level I test at 9am (unsure of when I'll finish, perhaps I'll skip lunch if I have to)
At 1:15 I'll head over to the GECON office hours to inquire about my Midterm that I bombed.
At around 2 I'll go to the GISAT office hours to ask questions about homework.
At 4:20 I'll head to MATH class.
When I come back it'll probably be time for dinner.
After dinner I should come back, complete the GISAT homework, start and hopefully complete my GECON homework, and then study for my CHINESE exam tomorrow.

College life: CKI

2010-10-26T22:46:00.002-04:00

I joined CKI! Sadly, I am never able to attend the meetings because I have class when they meet: Monday nights.

The good thing is I paid my dues and I already have 6.5 out of 20 hours knocked out.
5.5 due to volunteering for an Elementary School Harvest Festival (10/23)
and 1 hour for writing a letter to my pen pal :D

College life update: Stress and Time management

2010-10-26T22:25:00.006-04:00

So today I had my first college meltdown. I was in seriously need of a hug from my parents.
I had gotten my take-home midterm score back for my GECON class. It was a 63. I could have sworn I did better, but then again... BAH! I dislike that class a lot. After getting that grade I went to my Chinese class (oh what joy- I don't like that class either. Something about the teacher bothers me. Oh right: he doesn't seem to give a dang about the class). After Chinese class I gave my mom a call (she already knew about the grade because I told her before I went to Chinese) and she told dad. They both knew I was upset because I said that I was disappointed in myself for not trying hard enough. I was already starting to tear up and then mommy handed the phone to daddy. He told me not to worry about it much because I was still getting used to the whole college life and all. That made me tear up more. I said thanks and then hung up because I knew I was going to start bawling if I didn't hang up. It was already hard to stop my tears from flowing down my face.

I went back into my room thinking I was alone, but then realized that Haylie was in bed. All I really wanted to do was to cry so I turned on my laptop and was going to put on music, but then suddenly my phone rang. It was a call from Emily. Even though I was trying hard to control my voice, I still sounded broken. I talked to her for a bit, and then I eventually broke down. I was sitting in the lounge and Gladys and Bella saw me crying. Now the people I know who knew about my crying frenzy are Haylie, Gladys, Bella and Lena.

I also got my midterm for my GISAT class back today: 65.5, but this one I wasn't as disappointed. I really do like this class and it's my fault for no studying as much for this class. Ii try hard for the lab though, I go to office hours for this class more often then any other classes so I am hoping my teacher understands that I am trying.

That's all I have to rant about. I should probably go wash my face and brush up now because I need to finish reading chapter 5 for my GISAT class.

An update on the college life: Friends and others

2010-10-25T09:50:00.009-04:00

What can I say? I've been neglecting this blog (once again).
I am finally in college now and I donno. I guess it's somewhat what I expected and something else. I don't manage my time all too well. I met some (not so) great people here:

"The group" (for the most part I like them)
Haylie: My roommate. We get along pretty well. She's into Disney :) [Marketing major]

Dennis: The guy who was friends with Haylie but now part of "the group". She says bananas 'ba-nana'. He seems a bit hard to read at first, but not so hard anymore. [Music major]

Stephen: Random guy I asked to join our group one random night when we went to Skyline after dark for some frozen yogurt/ coffee. He was eating a toco or burrito. He's good looking (erm, I had a slight crush on him. Not sure if I still do. I still kinda think Harvey is more adorable) OH! He's a twin. What is it with me liking twins? My freshmen year crush in hs was a twin, crush last year was a twin and slight crush this year is a twin too. I probably have a twindar. Our group jokes about his 'small hands', he's part Samoan, works out a lot (became a white belt in Tae Kwan Do recently), probably a player but intelligent (apparently he didn't show up to most of his psych class but during a test he got a 98% on a test). [Bio-something major]

Lena: She's so happy! She's my walking and gym buddy. She was one of the first person I talked to in my orientation group. [Nursing major]

Jessica: She looks completely normal, a nerd extremist with a good fashion sense at most, but words that come out of her mouth! Good golly! She's more perverted than Nedin (and that's saying a lot) She's also very hard to read (at least in my opinion). I am also not so sure if I can fully trust her or not. She hangs out with someone whom I do no really get along with (see 'others') and it seems like she's an insider every now and then. [Geography major]

Gladys: She's Lena roommate, smart, invited us (Haylie, Dennis, Natalie, and I) to her hometown for the weekend before. She took us around to different eateries and

Natalie: Musically inclined (and pretty darn good at the keyboard/piano), into antique, unique hairstyles (on guys), had her heart broken by Pauleen and Cole. Valedictorian in her high school. She's cool.

"Others"
Pauleen: Highly energetic asian that I cannot stand. Met her through Dennis. At first she seemed like she had good intentions. She had personality traits similar to mines (she's happy, asian, does the hand to cheeks thing when excited), but then she started to do things that became rather annoying: invading personal spaces, telling Natalie that she was going to end up with Cole (who she knew liked Natalie), putting a cupcake that Gladys made upside-down on top of a nice red car and she can be quite weird... like over dinner one time she said she played the "x-ray" game with her friend before (it's basically a game where you apparently pretend to see beyond someone's clothing). Yes. I agree. Very freaky.

Cole: Don't know much about this kid except for the fact that he's an idiot. First he told Haylie that he liked Natalie, and then when he met Pauleen apparently they hung out when they were walking back to their halls and she went into his room and slept with him (just sleeping) but still. Haylie, Galdys and I had an investigation the day after Pauleen told Natalie that she liked Cole and he was going to pick her and he said that he wanted to pick Natalie. Weird thing was... about a day or two after he and Pauleen started going out. What went wrong? I suppose he's just a player or just an idiot that doesn't know how to turn down a girl. Or perhaps he does have feelings for her. Who knows.

Bella: Girl who lives on my wing. She has quite a distinctive knock. She's nice enough, but calling everyone a "bitch" ain't all too cool. She's sweet though. She saw me crying today (I'll talk about this in a separate post... perhaps) and asked if I was alright and then she gave me 2 packages (each) of tuna and chicken salad.

Whitney: Theater kid, but she's nice. I barely see her though. She seems sad and depressed sometimes "/

G'morning!

Dalai Lama’s 18 rules for living

2010-08-21T09:06:00.001-04:00

At the start of the new millennium the Dalai Lama apparently issued eighteen rules for living.

1. Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk.
2. When you lose, don’t lose the lesson.
3. Follow the three Rs:
1. Respect for self
2. Respect for others
3. Responsibility for all your actions.
4. Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.
5. Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly.
6. Don’t let a little dispute injure a great friendship.
7. When you realize you’ve made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.
8. Spend some time alone every day.
9. Open your arms to change, but don’t let go of your values.
10. Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.
11. Live a good, honourable life. Then when you get older and think back, you’ll be able to enjoy it a second time.
12. A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life.
13. In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current situation. Don’t bring up the past.
14. Share your knowledge. It’s a way to achieve immortality.
15. Be gentle with the earth.
16. Once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before.
17. Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.
18. Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.

2010-08-05T12:54:00.000-04:00

I tweeted this instead...

@techwaffle Hey Jon. Have you been to an orthopedist? I saw this article and saw (Back pain with associated leg pain & Numbness...
@techwaffle or tingling in the legs) near the middle of the article: http://bit.ly/cJd83Z
Check it out and see if it relates?
Get well soon!

To send or not to send?

2010-08-04T14:14:00.001-04:00

I feel like a creeper...

@techwaffle Just get some rest and try to avoid the computer? Perhaps even pay a visit to a chiropractor. Get well soon!

2010-08-02T14:06:00.002-04:00

I saw this tweet: techwaffle I just realized that I wore the same shirt as I did for my last Weekly Bone epi. Wardrobe fail, lol

and so I replied saying...

@techwaffle You said that "it's a nice shirt" & was "fantabulous, fantabulous" in the last Weekly Bone, so you could say it was intentional?

2010-07-31T17:27:00.003-04:00

So I was feeling spontaneous and thought about tweeting to Jon... so I did.

@techwaffle I just wanted to drop by to say your videos are amazing. You've never fail to make me laugh. Have a fantastic weekend! :D

The response I got?
@lemontwista* thanks :D. Have a great weekend yourself ^^

2010-07-27T17:04:00.001-04:00

Amelia: LOL I NEED TO REACH 50 BY 1AM
Me: watch there be a rollback
Amelia: I will effin MURDER a baby
Me: I LOL'D

2010-07-24T15:12:00.001-04:00

We keep seeing him at the mall...

Muted

2010-07-20T18:55:00.002-04:00

I really do think that not talking a lot has gotten quite beneficial. I mean I really don't like talking much now. Alright, so I'm not a mute, but I don't like to interact much with the people around me much anymore (or at least to my aunts and uncle and several of my friends).

I know it's not good to keep things inside, but I really don't want to rant much and the stuff talked about are so useless that I don't see the point in commenting. It's tiring, sure. However, I feel that talking less is better. I may not be a red head, but when I blow a fuse, I tend to EXPLODE.

Blogging is good, I should do so more often.
I should also get back to reading again & I "should" start on my summer assignment.

I think I'm going to pick reading over the assignment (so after I turn this off, I shall go read).

Canned Tuna

2010-07-20T18:41:00.004-04:00

This time I know that I will be able to post a "normal" post. I haven't done so in ages & I am very sorry to my readers... if I have any.

What's up with my title? It's quite weird, wouldn't you agree?
You guys know that I'm weird, so yeah, it's expected. I wanted a creative title and while I was texting Emily today I told her I felt like I was a canned tuna because I was in the backseat of a van with no air conditioning and smushed to the side due to two twin side mattresses being my seat buddies.

I also felt this title to be appropriate because this morning I was telling my mom that I really cannot wait until I move out to college. The reason not being my parent's fault. I will miss them dearly. The problem lies with my aunts and uncle. They are driving me insane. I don't feel free being trap in the house anymore. I used to be able to deal with it like a baby bird in a cage, but I'm not a baby bird anymore, I've grown. I have bigger wings that needs to expand.

So that moves on to my rant about my "family"
My uncle has lost his mind. Seriously I cannot stand him much longer. He's the baby of the family, so he basically acts like it. He's not a man at all. He relies on everyone to do his work for him. He's selfish, temperamental and needs to lay of the drinking (because I think that's one of the main reason -beside him being laid off for a year now-). He selfish because he spends money like he's a millionaire. That self righteousness has got to go. Being tempermental does no good to anyone. What is he a teenager? He slams doors, mumbles and then refuses to eat if things don't go his way. Say what now? Yeah you heard me. That's what I'm suppose to be doing, not a 53 (or 54) year old MAN.
The aunts shouldn't be afraid of this. They shouldn't even put up with it, however they do and it annoys the heck outta me. They talk to me and tell me that he needs "this and that" done and that I should teach him how to use the computer without the yelling because "he's afraid to ask" me because he's "afraid" of my yelling. What the eff is wrong with that picture? UGH.

In serious need of an update. A REAL blog post.

2010-07-15T12:26:00.004-04:00

To freely express myself once more.
I haven't had an actually blog in the longest time.
All the ones I've posted up in the last couple of months were just short girly rants that I don't want to forget.

I have a month an several days left before I am moving out.
I had my college orientation on Monday. I enjoyed it very much. There's just something about the breath of freedom. I cannot express how good it feels. I am finally able to spread my wings and escape this place. I mean it's not such a bad place, but it's not all so great anymore. People are crazy.

Anyway, I have got to force myself to complete this post. I have a lot to talk about, but I haven't gotten any of my thoughts down & I really want to kick myself because of that @-@;

How to organize my thoughts?
1) College
-Thoughts
-Dorm
-Classes
-Overall "feel"
~~~~~~~
I can't believe I am going off to college now. I mean WOW. I made it through high school! It's real & I am actually attend my top college. I am over excited. I am moving forward in my life.
I love my school, I love where it's located and I love the overall feeling I get from it: happiness with a sprinkle of freedom.
I got my schedule & guess what? I'll be taking Chinese! (Finally) I mean I've always wanted to take Chinese, but now I can really take it :D I will enjoy Fridays very much (I have only one early morning class & that's it!)
Hmm what else have I got to say about college? Nothing I have to say at the moment.

2) Friends
-Old
-New
Lately I've been hanging out with Amelia & Emily a lot.

3) Home
-Tension
-Leaving

Ugh. I am in no mood to blog. I give up. Perhaps I'll edit this later.

Amelia's birthday!

2010-07-15T12:25:00.001-04:00

What I wrote at 1:23am:
Happy Birthday missy! :D gosh I cannot believe that you're 18 now. You're old enough to vote and you are able to buy a lucky birthday lottery ticket ;) like I told you in the video, DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT SMOKING. But you won't, I've known you too long. I can't believe that I won't see you in school any longer. That will be kind of weird... so let's keep in touch via SocialVibe (GET ON WOMAN!), FB (oh but of course), owl talk, twitter, etc. promise?! :D much ♥ to you today (see? I woke up at this time to type out this message bwhaha).

2010-07-12T06:49:00.001-04:00

You are too much of a morning person. Im like wanting to bite a baby's head off

Well. Isn't that adorable?

2010-06-06T18:51:00.004-04:00

Harvey just called me about 2 minutes ago asking if we had a Key Club meeting tomorrow. I thought that was adorable because he could have asked someone else, and he could have just sent a text, but instead he called :D
I sent him a text:

Me: Thank you for being such a dedicated Key Clubber! :D
Harvey: Lol no prob! Thats exactly y i ran for office :) thanks! And you did a great job this year, i was really impressed with you much you contributed to the club, it will b hard to fill in those shoes! Enjoy college! :)
Me: D'aww. Thank you! If you need any help next year just give us old officers a call. We'll be happy to lend a hand.
Harvey: Lol well im sure ull be getting a lot of calls :)
Me: Lol

Found

2010-05-15T18:37:00.000-04:00

Girls are like
apples on trees. The best
ones are at the top of the tree.
The boys don't want to reach for
the good ones because they are afraid
of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they
just get the rotten apples from the ground
that aren't as good, but easy. So the apples
at the top think something is wrong with
them, when in reality, they're amazing.
They just have to wait for the right
boy to come along, the one
who's brave enough
to climb
all the way
to the top
of the tree.

Just cute.

2010-05-11T17:18:00.003-04:00

Walking past the orchestra room to my locker, I usually past by Harvey. Usually he doesn't see me (or is distracted) I, on the other hand, avoid looking to my left. I either look to the ground or I look straight ahead. Today, Harvey passed by me and called my name.
"Kayla"
Not a hi or hey Kayla. Just "Kayla". Haha what the heck?

Quote

2010-05-07T21:13:00.003-04:00

"Don't get run over Kayla" -Harvey said to me when I was walking to my math class and a guy nearly ran over me.

I got my waterbottle from SocialVibe today! (also got 3 stickers, a snap bracelet and a pen!)

Sunday before the big IB testing storm, oh so Glee-ful

2010-05-02T17:46:00.004-04:00

I've been watching Glee since yesterday night.
It's actually really addicting.

I don't know who I have a crush on anymore. Nate asked someone out to the prom with him and Harvey is just plain friendly to everyone. Just the adorable type.
Got a call from him during the Key Club inductions because he didn't remember what he should have worn.
Today I got a text from him: "Hey there is no meeting tomorrow right? Cuz for some reason i have written that there is..."
Hah. Adorable. He's a dedicated member. Pretty glad that he's going to be treasurer for that club next year.

:(

2010-04-24T17:34:00.002-04:00

I really don't feel well. I really want to just break down and cry. I don't want to talk. Perhaps I just want to go for a jog. I really don't know who I can talk to. I feel really angry and annoyed right now. Family isn't making it any better.
Graduating, and then college. Gosh. When can I escape this realm? It hurts. Who can I talk to?

WIN!

2010-04-23T21:03:00.002-04:00

I am one of the 10 winners of the aluminium SV water bottles! :D

"Hi all,

Congrats to everyone and thank you for your efforts to help make the world a better place for all living things by cutting down on plastic. Small actions like this have enormous impact when we all do our part – thanks for pitching in!"

How many times have he asked that question to me?

2010-04-20T20:12:00.003-04:00

Today in the morning I saw Harvey so I congratulated his win for treasurer of Key Club.
He then asked me what grade level I was in (seriously. This is at least the 2nd time he has asked me this. The last time he asked me this was in January & I think he did ask in December as well).
He then said that he wanted to have someone with experience lead next year & then I stated that the upcoming VP and President have been an officer of Key Club before & if they have no idea what's going on... well they would have connection with us (the current senior officers).

Such a weird kid. I mean do I look that young? Why do freshmen always mistaken me to being younger than I really am? "/ (I mean it's not a bad thing, but it's just... interesting).

Trust

2010-04-19T21:59:00.002-04:00

I find it really hard to trust people now. Whatever I say, is passed on to another ear. That happened when I mentioned that I was done with the lit. mag. One of my and Amelia's so-called friend rattled on us to our sponsor.

I really should have this as a warning to keep things I want to say in my head a bit more.
