DUDE I TOTALLY BURNED MY HANDS AND SINGED MY SCARF WHILE DOING RAKU FIRING IT WAS SO TOTALLY AWESOME

I am in SUCH a good mood right now. I've been listening to the Beatles "Love" album and its so darn good. I don't know if its because I haven't listened to much Beatles lately or just because it so wonderfully remastered, but man. Soooooo swell.

BIG NEWS GA ARIMASU!!! The architecture class I've wanted for some time now and wasn't able to get in decided to create another section! It's in an even better location, ie instead of on central campus its in the Art & Architecture building (on the 3rd floor with all the architecture studios!). Furthermore, we get the sweet architecture desks and have a better working environment. I am so stoked for the class, you all have no idea. I also really love this version of Lady Madonna. Anywho, yeah, if this class is anything that I hope it is I am going to have such a sweet semester. !!! It'll also help me officially decide if architecture is right for me, because who knows, I might end up hating this class or the amount of work. Yikes!

I also just finished my digital homework. We had to make 3 animals out of font characters. My animals are pretty good if I do say so myself...I'm realllly not worried about this class. Woo!


Here come old flattop he come grooving up slowly
He got joo-joo eyeball he one holy roller
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker he just do what he please

He wear no shoeshine he got toe-jam football
He got monkey finger he shoot coca-cola
He say "I know you, you know me"
One thing I can tell you is you got to be free
Come together right now over me

He bag production he got walrus gumboot
He got Ono sideboard he one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knee
Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease
Come together right now over me

He roller-coaster he got early warning
He got muddy water he one mojo filter
He say "One and one and one is three"
Got to be good-looking 'cause he's so hard to see
Come together right now over me

What a good song. I went through my Abby Road obsession back in middle school, but I should really get that out. Yes yes.


Is love all you need? Certainly love accounts for 99.99% but its that darn .01% that can really drive you nuts. Something so small can explode into something way too big if you let it. Self control, people, is what that .01% is - and how many people can say they have control over themselves or their love? Sigh.

Howdy.

College is nice. :)

I think about 99.4% of all the girls out on Halloween and the weekend before must have pneumonia. Or maybe frostbite...but I wonder where they might have gotten frostbite, its not as though any of them were wearing clothes. Hnmm. Candy is good though.

So... I have been doing very well in my classes, prior to what I originally thought. I unofficially have an A in my drawing class, which I found odd because I had thought my lala teacher wasn't so keen on my stuff, but apparently its quite the opposite. I also did very well on my ADP midterm, which I had thought I didn't do so hot on, so that was a relief. I might actually have all A's, but Anthro is still up in the air, we'll just have to see.

Ahhh I started this entry with the intention of writing something interesting, but I'm just too darn lazy. OH. I went to the showing of American Splendor at the Michigan Theater and that was way cool. After the movie the creator and his wife came out and did their thing. I had already seen them because in one of my classes earlier that day my teacher brought them in to talk about graphic novels which is what American Splendor is, a graphic novel (turned movie). It was cool!

I think I'm going to give blood in a couple weeks! Woo!

Annnd...yeah. How is everyone doing?

</end>

Ahhh, college. How lovely it is. My dorm is amazing, my roommate is amazing, my COMPUTER PACKAGE is amazing, and just life here is amazing. Meeting people is fun, roaming around Ann Arbor is interesting, and experiencing something different is refreshing. Awww.


I like college. It makes me happy, yes sir it does.



Aww.

OH so today I think I offended some dude's manlyhood. While waiting in line at Subway, the guy in front of me didn't have enough money for his food and so I gave him the $0.07 that he needed...not a "thank you" was given in return or even eye contact. Ugh, what is it with humanity? Sure, he was probably embarrassed about not having enough money but boo hiss. Moral of the story: don't ever be nice to anyone. Ever. They'll probably end up becoming ax-murderers and come back to "return the favor" and then where will we all be. Dead, that's right. You'll end up DEAD if you help people. And that's a bad thing, generally speaking.


Zak! Are you settled in yet?!?!?!

Why hello there, livejournal.

Summer thus far has been very entertaining. The end of school marked the beginning of said entertaining summer and really the entertaining-ness hasn't really stopped. Yay!

Upnorth with Anna and Jenny was really really fun and such a wonderful experience. Being independent with your friends is such a cool feeling. Yo ho for upnorth!

Uhhh...I now am working again at the shoe inn...which isn't really that bad. Ugh but it really makes the days go slower, but hey, money is nice.

Also I have my classes for next year which I am way excited about. They are all set in stone except for Japanese. Until the placement exam for placing into 2nd year Japanese has been taken I can't sign up for the class, so it's just a phantom class at present. But gahhh I will have 18 credits! Yikes! Plus that with the art school load this next semester is looking to be pretty intense. Oh college!

Hnmm. Ho hum. Well I think that's the end of my writing spree, so I hope ya'll enjoyed this lovely entry.

Today...oh today.


Today has been a day that is out of my comfort zone. This is mostly because of boys. Ugh I'm so awkward and I hate not thinking what to say and then later knowing exactly what I should have said and how. I suppose that will pass with time, but still in the moment it bothers me.

Also today I almost DIED walking around downtown Farmington. Honestly, being choked from behind while walking in a public place is NOT SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAPPEN. It scared the crap out of Anna and myself and ahfjdklsafdsa death to all.

Ahhhhhhh.

Howdy, ya'll!


Europe was absolutely amazing. Once I have some lengthy time to spare I'm going to post pictures and summarize like whoa. I took over 500 pictures but of course I'll only post a few of the good ones. Oh man...so wonderful, really, it was an experience I'm so glad I had.


Also, in many local newspapers' sports section, Farmington United's game from Monday was mentioned...annnnd...in every single one of them "Goal tender Susan Bopp saved 30 shots." was printed. The sports blurbs about other teams made no mention of their goalie. That made me feel warm and fuzzy inside. (plus I saved 30 shots. Woo!) :D

Ahhhh...Italy....Paris....ahhhhh...

Well kiddos!

I will be leaving for el Europe-o tomorrow afternoon. I'll be gone for all of spring break ('06 WHAT!!!!!!#`45361Q~). If I don't talk to you before I leave, I hope that each and EVERY one of you has an amazing break!

I'll have many a picture to post when I get back, oh yes I will. :D

Ciao!

So my right big toe is a wee bit black and blue. I hope it doesn't fall off...err...the nail, not the toe. Owie.

This week really is odd. I don't like the feeling, it's something that is really unnecessary, and yet it's there. I've pretty much gotten over what was majorly bugging me, but thoughts of it still linger. I'm also pretty sure it's affecting me at lacrosse, since I haven't been up to par recently, but I think now that this odd feeling is leaving I'll get better. Boo hiss.

So why is it that in the end of my senior year I'm getting roped into school events? Awhile ago I had to sign my name away stating that I'll show up to the spring pep rally to talk about lacrosse. I mean I'm captain and I love to talk about lacrosse, but I had to sign my name saying I'd be there...uh...that's sorta sketchy in my opinion. Plus it's a pep rally, come on. I'm also apparently going to be in the senior addition of the Blue and White. They do this senior interview thing for seniors who have specialized in a particular thing or something along those lines and I'll be in it for theater. Hey, why not. Oh school. IT'S ALMOST OVER GAH.

Speaking of which...16 days until Italy and Paris! Yikes!!! I need to get some non-American ish looking clothing. Annnybody want to go shopping with me? I think I at least need some non-tennis shoe shoes, but I have terrible times with shoes so yeah.

For your reading enjoyment, here's a handy dandy French phrase:
Appelez les pompiers! meaning: Call the fire brigade!

toooooeeeee

Ahhh today was a nice day. Hopefully this week will be the same.



19 days until Italy and Paris! Golly!!!

( TOXIC )

Well that was lovely. I should be in bed, seeing as it's after midnight and I have lots of things to do tomorrow (like go to the RED WINGS game!!!!!!)

Goodnight!

Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I'm going to die and my legs will be mushy and painful and boo.

Now comes the end of the 2006 Winter Olympics. I definitely loved the speed skating snow boarding, and figure skating. That biathlon, as strange as it was, was pretty entertaining as well.

I am, however, going to miss those warm and fuzzy Olympic commercials on CBC. Oh those whacky Canadians.



Flying Tomato!

I was just hit with a huge wave of marching band nostalgia. It was pretty intense, and it hit when 25 or 6 to 4 came on the radio. It made me realize how wonderful our show was last year - how different we were compared to most other bands. Yes, we lacked the flashy props and snazzy dance moves, but man, musically and physically we put on a good show. We were way lucky to be able to do such an energetic, musically entertaining show. Not a lame "theme" show that made the audience search for a connection between the pieces, but rather a straightforward "THIS IS THE BAND "CHICAGO'S" MUSIC," show that was performed well. I'm going to miss marching band, as I'm sure most seniors will, very much in the upcoming year.



My hair is curled! Like, way curled, and it makes me happy.


Oh Alan Shore.

Here's the Positive

and the Negative.

Tell me what you think! I might even learn something...




Ahhhhhhhhhh hurray for almost break. I also think I'm in love with the Olympic speed skating. Oh deary.

"!" for actually doing swell on calc quizzes! And for watching Monty Python and the Holy Grail in AP 12.


IT'S ONLY WEDENSDAY. Honestly.

"You know you would tap that."



What a MAN phrase. Honestly.

OK YA'LL


Here's where the shizzat is at:


How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying

7:30 p.m.

Thursday (Jan 26th), Friday (Jan 27th), and Saturday (Jan 28th).

Farmington High School.


BE THERE.
You honestly have nothing better to do. Admit it.

You'll just LOVE the costumes.

Exactly 1 year ago I was violently ill and throwing up the entire day. The good that came of that, however, was that I figured the year could only get better. I'd have to say that I'm not so sure it was. 2005 seemed liked a year filled with pain and, for lack of a better word, death. But with the bad comes the good, so I suppose 2005 evened itself out with good and bad. I can only hope that 2006, the much anticipated year for us seniors, will own up to what we want it to be. Time will only tell.

( OMG onto the 2005-2006 bandwagon!! )

Yay for Arthur the sexy samurai pirate. YES! And HYD, of course.

In the year 2006 I resolve to: Ride a mechanical bull in drag. Get your resolution here

Guys, I think I can do it. YES!


Happy New Years Eve, ya'll.

I just saw Memoirs of a Geisha! It was quite prettiful, if I do say so myself. Verrry pretty. Nobu!!

And skating was quite loverly, although now my legs are wooshy.


Of course, my christmas was lovely too, lots of family and food. Good good stuff.



AHHHH I SAW THE LAST EPISODE OF HANA YORI DANGO. I must say, it was fantastic. So the Anna and Jenny will see it, that they must. Hence the new icon. Ohhhh yes, the icon. :D

Waiiii Domyouji Tsukasa.

That is all.
