Well, hiiii guys. Heheheehehe. So I have only done one entry thus far, and that was in...June. Oh my. What a fail. Harharhar. Anyways, I will post something now, because I have lots of homework to do, so of course I will blog instead. After all, procrastination wins every time.
So, what to talk about. I have lots of things on my mind, but I'll just ramble. First of all, for all the people stressing over prom, I just want to remind you that it isn't a big deal! Whatever happens, you're all beautiful and loved so none of that matters. Yeah. That said...
Something else that doesn't matter? The SATs. Because, a standardized multiple choice test? Whatttt? Of course that doesn't measure your intelligence. I know we all get worried over this stuff; after all, I'm no exception to the average high schooler worried about college lalala. But when you're 60 years old and looking back on life, I'm sure you aren't going to be thinking, "Oh, all I can remember from my childhood is that time when I didn't get that writing multiple-choice question right on the SAT. Darn." Hehe. Well, I hope you won't at least, since that would mean you were a boring person with nothing else to think about. No offense, of course!
Here's a nice tip for you clumsy people like me who might accidentally knock over a glass of water on your computer in the future. If you do so, and it begins to sizzle and steam, that is bad. Turn off your computer immediately and unplug everything. Then take out the battery (at least for laptops) and flip the computer into an upside-down V and dry it as much as possible with a towel or something. Then let it dry for about 24 hours and do not turn it on for at least a day. Then, if it turns on, you got lucky and saved! If not, well, sorry. Hahahahaha. Just so you know. Not that it happened to me or anything...and not that my computer screen is now upside down and that when I press the "g" key, every window closes and the display freezes...ahem.
I read a funny story just now that this wonderful person named Allen Park showed me. It's delightful. So is he! http://www.woltermanns.com/misc/cookies_Adams.htm Check it out-- it's worth it! I loved it. It reminds you that it's the little things in life that count. And that if you just observe what's happening around you, you'll find out that life is filled with moments. Which reminds me...
So I went over to Nevada/Arizona/California/Utah over Christmas break. As in, the Grand Canyon and Bryce Canyon and Zion Canyon and Death Valley. Hahahahahaha. Oh right, and Las Vegas. But yeah. While I was in these places, I wrote down random little things that happened, and it really makes life more enjoyable when you notice these sorts of things. Here's a few snapshots of what I wrote:
December 25, 2010- 7 pm~ We were walking, lost, in Caesar's Palace. Las Vegas. We passed a sphinx statue. You know. The top is a naked woman, lion's body, all that goodness. A man in a black coat, wielding a matching beard, walks by it, pauses, reaches out with his hand, and squeezes...its nose. Not what you'd expect from Sin City, eh?
December 25, 2010- 9 pm~ we were walking down The Strip from the buffet to our hotel. The sky was dark, but the street was lit by all the hotels. Christmas music boomed from speakers. A man walked by carrying a toy poodle dressed in a red santa suit, hat and all. I urgently tapped my mom's shoulder, "Look!" and as he walked by, we both saw that the dog was wearing half-moon spectacles!
December 26, 2010- 7 pm~ drove back from Death Valley. saw some stars. spent most of the car ride with head craned backwards on the backseat in a painful position, a poor substitute for lying in the grass. strange how I see the most stars when I'm trapped in a car. deja vu from last time we were in Death Valley. Lines of car window are literally bars of a prison. Suddenly Las Vegas comes into view and literally eats the stars in the span of 1 second.
December 26, 2010- 10 pm~ driving back to Trump hotel. too many lights and ads related to naked women. sail past a complex of shops. one store is "Adult Entertainment Superstore." The one next to it is selling bridal gowns. So classy.
Yupppp. They might not be the most interesting entries, but I really liked doing it since it was a quick way to capture moments from the trip. And I would do it all the time, but I use the whole "I don't have time" excuse to be lazy. Hahahaha.
And I saw the sunrise for the first time on the trip! It was on Christmas morning in Bryce Canyon. See? I took pictures. Oh wait...I was going to post a picture except then I remembered it's on my computer. The broken one. Argh!
And I can't figure out how to move pictures around the entry. Or else I would be putting random pictures all over this thing to make it look more interesting. But they all just stay at the top of the page.
Hmmmmm.................................
I had something very important to say, but I forgot! Oh well. That's all for now then!
Oh and I like to say "c'est la vie" since I think it sounds sophisticated, and it's really the only French phrase I know. Hahahae.
Tata for now! Cheerio! Hasta luego! Ciao!
Smile! You're beautiful and loved.
