Missed me? I've been choking in schoolwork for the past few... days? Weeks would be more precise... Stuff has been happening non-school-wise though. Managed to improve my writing by a few miles, got a new (if small) Lego set, the Siderider 55, and a sword! A Wakizashi to be exact. So what's happening next in my life? I'm making a movie with a few people for German, going to see the new James Bond in theaters when it comes out, Boundless is resuming as you read this and... that's about it. Oh wait, thinking about composing a score to accompany the OST for Boundless. Speaking of which, the next few Episodes are going to be very cool. And that's what's coming. Anything I missed around here? -|IXI

Retreat? Sure. See y'all Sunday. <<DV>>

Yeah...Um...I did a stupid thing today. I was washing stuff that didn't fit into the dishwasher after lunch, and while washing, I forgot to do the huge knife last(The kind of knife that chops up a lot of food and whatnot), I threw it in the water, and when pulling it out, it slit my finger. OOhhh it hurt. And boy did it bleed a lot. It was weird. O.o And so I learnt a valuble lesson on doing the sharpy items last. So now I have a bandaid on, and my finger hurts awfully bad. So I probably wont be doing much drawing or typing until it feels better. I'll be lucky do write decently for school. And today, we have a lot of school. >> Mom's pushing us awfully hard lately.

Since part of the point of a blog is to provide updates on one's life ... I've been absent from a lot of things for the past few days. Saturday and Sunday were spent playing the VNOLG at length (Yes, the L is staying in there; I can justify it!), which is highly addictive and left me with a lot less time on BZP than usual. Sunday evening, I began to come down with a cold. Not altogether surprising, given that a host of people with whom I have class have been sick. Scratchy throat (swallowing and coughing and yawning were painful), somewhat runny nose, not too drastic. Monday I made a valiant attempt at going to school. It wasn't too bad at first, since I managed to stay awake and pay attention (with accompaniment of sniffs and coughs) through Biology. I survived through History to take the quiz and get assignment sheets and notes, after which I went to the nurse. It transpired that I had a fever of 99?, which isn't terrible, but the rest of me felt terrible. My voice was something of a croak and I felt generally awful. So I went home shortly thereafter (around noon) and spent most of the afternoon sleeping, punctuated around 2:30 by lunch, and when not sleeping lying on the couch half-awake. Hence my absense from BZP except for a brief interlude in the evening. Today I didn't even try going to school. I felt okay when I woke up (apart from my voice, which was still raspy and faint), but shortly thereafter began to feel sick again. The morning was spent lying on the couch reading The Fellowship of the Ring with all the symptoms of a bad cold, although better than yesterday. After noon, I progressively began to feel better. Even my voice is mostly back to normal, although I still have a runny nose and slight headache. I'm still tired, but I've been up and about (and doing homework) for a few hours. On the note of homework, the only reason I hate missing school is that I am going to die from missing two days of Advanced Algebra (which I have 8th period and subsequently missed yesterday). The class goes so fast I can sometimes barely keep up when I'm taking notes, so I can only hope I can catch up sufficiently. Everything else isn't nearly so bad, and I was quite pleased yesterday to learn that I got an A+ on my Biology test, which I was highly nervous about despite it being a lot easier than the Juniors made it out to be ... ... I'll leave you guys to debate whether or not this title contradicts itself. *sniff* – ToM

Let's see... I'll start with Wednesday. Two days ago I got a haircut. At first I wasn't sure if I liked it or not. (Before, it was just below my ears.) But I like how it looks now. Not too short, but I like it. I don't have a very good past with haircuts. For several years, everywhere I got a haircut, they either cut it shorter than I was comfortable with, or I just didn't like it in one way or another. But I like this haircut. Ok, on to yesterday... A family in our church gave us free guest passes to an amusement park in Missouri called Silver Dollar City. And we went yesterday along with practically our whole church. It's been about 7 years since I last went to an amusement park. I went to Six Flags in Wisconsin once before. I got to go off with one of my friends and go on rides and stuff. There are two major rollercoasters, and I went on them about 6 times each! It was so fun! There were many other rides as well that I went on, but those two rollercoasters were my favorite! I've never been on the back of a rollercoaster before this, but yesterday I did just to know what it was like. I'm never doing that again! I found out that if you sit in the very back of a rollercoaster, there's more pressure and afterwards you feel dizzy and sick. The front is much better. And for me it's more fun! So if you want to feel fast, scared, like you won't survive, or any combination of the three, ride in the front. But if you want to feel compressed with pressure and almost black out then feel sick and dizzy afterwards, ride in the back. According to my experiences anyway. My feet were killing me afterwards from all the walking. When we got home, I couldn't wait to get to bed. Fortunately it was a Friday night, so I got to sleep in. I woke up at 10:30 today! In fact, I went to bed at 10:30 last night. Whoa, I slept for 12 hours! Also, there was a huge storm last night. B) In case you wanted to know.

OK, after yet another brief break, I'm back! Been busy the past few days... Wednesday: Went to a dermatologist appointment, then to a shopping centre. Bought LEGO Star Wars II (will review soon, with screenshots) Thursday: While my sister was at a cricket thing, was dragged around more shops. Bought Brutaka, while Lai bought Axonn. He now owes me AU$6.00. At this very second, I'm looking at some screenshots of Windows Vista, and it looks amazing! -DLAKII'S COMPLETELY BORING BABBLE- Normally I'm not interested in companies, business and the like, but there is one case that sparks my interest: Coles Myer, an Australian retail chain. It's just fought off a foreign takeover, and now it has insane plans. Apparently, two of its shops, K-Mart and Coles, are merging into simply "Coles", and will have everything under one roof! How convenient, but it would be even better if they would expand the LEGO aisles. Other than that, I like the sound of it! Looks like the future of shopping is starting now! And now. And now. And now. And now. And now. And now. (Get it? The future is always starting.) -Dlakii: He Who Sounds Really Stupid

I hate being ripped off. Especially when it's by the phone company. That's right, I got a large phone bill last week. It appears that I called a certain phone number 89 times.... in less than 2 hours! (The entire amount of the bill was €62.01.) So I called them a couple of times and they said that they made no mistakes. And when I asked if I could get the money back that I paid too much (they took the money off my banking account the day after I got the bill). And they said no. And I don't accept that, so I'm going to make work out of it. Not sure how though. Even worse than the fact that they ripped me off, (at least, it felt that way) is that I have no money at all right now and I have to go to another town 3 times a week. And now I can't go, thanks to the people at the phone company. So I'm in quite a sucky situation right now financially. Change of subject. I might add a content block with links to downloadable songs, but I think I'll need to make sure if it's okay to do it though. So, soon you might be able to listen to songs by X-Japan, The TRAX, Era, BoA, Lee Hyori etc. Too bad we can't link to the video site which cannot be named anymore, because I could've linked you all up with some nice music videos. Ah well, crud happens. And October 9th is my birthday. Sung Yu-Ri

Yes, the title does have something to do with this blog entry from a few months ago. Last day of Term 3 today! Now for a holiday full of comics, BZP, LEGO, and other things that make life vaguely interesting. At least the last day was remotely fun; Science was the only class we were set work in today. In English, we had a miniature party; in SOSE, our teacher gave us some interesting lateral thinking puzzles. Off the subject of school, I've already got plans for the weekend. Lai and I are going to have a big lightsaber fight all around the (incredibly puny) street, with a friend acting as a referee. Hopefully I won't accidentally bang his fingers, causing him to attack me viciously and running back home, as usually happens. Ah, anyway, to business- Random People: TO BUSINESS!!! Random People: Sorry, we thought you were proposing a toast. Anyway, in regards to those items on eBay, they were quite expensive, so I found some slightly cheaper identical items elsewhere. Also, I found a Galactic Marine minifig on eBay, which looks suspiciously like a minifig I found in DudeNuva's Brickshelf. Ending random raving... -Dlakii DATE: Friday 15 September 2006, 9:24 PM AEST

Ok, so maybe I didn't make another entry....Blame my sister who enjoys staying on for hours, and my dad who likes to turn off computers by 9. Well, I got my supplies at Hobby Lobby...Two watercolored pencils colors that I needed, a ink pen, and a sketch book. I was going to get some Prismacolor Art Markers (Only a few) and a few other things, but when dad told me he wasn’t helping me pay for my supplies, I had to take out some things so I was able to afford it. >> So that was good to get over with. Going to Books-A-Million was fun as always, I found that they had #3 and #4 of Bionicle Legends, I was going to get both, but if I wanted to get a drawing book, I only chose one, which of course was BL3. I looked around for that book I found earlier, which was this HUGE Manga book, and was only $12 bucks. But I could find it. ;_; But I found another really good one(Helping with action poses and things like that) for $13. Then I discover that dad was not going to pay me for some work I did (Or currently), so I was rather short on money. So I had to put back the Bionicle book, sorry Mr. Greg. But my dad was really annoying, when he asked what I was going to get, he was like. "You’re going to buy a Bionicle book? Can't you find something better?" I explained that even if they are small and made for younger viewers, they are still really great to read and fun, and then of course I get my money out of them since I read them more than once, and my brother and his two friends reads the ones I buy also. But still, he thought it was a waste....*Sigh* On a lighter note, when I got home and started playing with my Manga Book and such, I made the coolest two doodle pages. I will finish it up and show it here, it looks awesome. I can tell I am improving with art. *Yays* Also, I'd like to say that Nikira's picture for the contest is SO GOOD. It has high hopes for winning. I just hope some of the art I like is spread out so I can vote for some (Like Turakii's, ~Po~'s, tRoF, UTM, etc). And I hope I don't get stuck in a voting area with another good artist. Ahh, I have math to work on. *Stares* this lesson doesn’t look so hard. Yet.

Math is finally finished! ....I am still a lesson behind. >> When will mom notice that I am just naturally slow at math? I do much better with math if I do a lesson in two days instead of just one. But anyhow, I am really happy right now. I FINALLY get to go to Hobby Lobby and Books-A-Million. And I finally have a fair amount of money, so I am going to get some needed art supplies, a how-to-draw book(Found a cool one last time I went to BAM) and a few Bionicle books I have been meaning to get. Wow, AC has been going well....Noted that my entry was fine, and now that most are on the first page, I am looking at the ones I missed. And so far there all really good, I can't wait to see what Zy's and Nikira's look like. Well, I need to leave now. (Weee!) But I will probably make another entry about how the shopping went.

...They have to deal with school and their social life. I have to deal with school and a lack thereof. It seems that with every passing moment, I get further and further from the people I used to call my friends, and closer and closer to complete and total loneliness. It's not like the school I go to helps either. I go to a school for kids with "problems." By "problems," I mean violence, drugs, you name it. This school goes from middle school to high school. I used to have some problems that I pretty much am in control of now. They were the worst during the summer following my seventh grade year, and thus I have been at my current school ever since. So basically, I knew my "friends" from 3rd to 7th grade, and then POOF! we all started drifting apart. If you are up for anologies, it was like a meteor hit the crust of our friendship, but I was the only one that broke off and started moving away. But yeah, my school doesn't have anything social. No sports teams, no proms, not even a simple party. And I mean, these kids, even if they did have proms and stuff, would probably be doing all kinds of drugs and whatnot, and I'm not down with that. I see my friends sometimes at my church (I can say that, right? It's a location.). It's always, "Hi john" or "how are you john?". If you really cared how I was, you would have called me a couple times or something. I'm coming to realize that I can't just sit at a computer all day like I was directly plugged into the CPU. I need a social life. The more I realize that, the more depressed I get. I want a friend that I can count on when I need help. I want a friend who will look up to me and who I can help. I want a friend who encourages the rest of us to do stupid stuff just for the heck of it. I want a friend who has troubles with his family and that the rest of us could help. I want a friend who can be a computer whiz and who can program just about anything. I want friends who are kind to me, and thus I show mutual respect to them. And I want these friends to never leave my side no matter what kind of hardship that we as a group or we as individuals go through. But alas, for me, this is all just a hope, a wish, an intangible dream. I am seemingly doomed to a lifetime of solitude. ~Giganuva Upsilon

By the Jawas, I. Hate. Sinuses. >> Besides that, nothing much happened besides awesome church....Ok not totally awesome as I was really tired. But I did have 'kitchen Sunday school'. Which is, you don't go in your class before the sermon and go in the kitchen, eats lots of donuts and anything else you can find in the cabinets. And talk about random things with your fellow friends....Or the random men that come walking getting coffee. Then, I helped with children’s church and during the class as my mom was introducing herself. A little boy pointed to me and another helper and asked, "Who is the brown haired and orange haired girl?" Guess who is the orange haired girl? Ahhh, I just love my church...And then that’s the truth when you see your pastor at the Chinese restaurant, and he claims my dad is some random badguy and he is from the CIS, and he stalking our family. (Reminder, he was not serious) ....Yeah, he is a very interesting pastor. Oh and his name is Mr. Bob Turakii, to bad we have no Larry's at our church. XD Ah yes, good job on getting Blog of the Week Takatu. *claps* ....Yes, I do have art to update. Yes, I will scan it soon....Matters if I don't go to prayer group or not. (All the little boys are nagging me to come) .....Mmmh, what happened to Jack and Barbossa? I need to talk to them sometime.

Distant Past And Pleasant Memories... And Europe!
HahliLavender posted a blog entry in Lavender Blog
Earlier tonight I was looking through our old photos because I was bored. Many of the photos were taken before I was born, but most of them brought back memories. a while later my whole family ended up looking through photos, laughing at 80's hair-do's and remembering times gone past. While looking through these, I found pictures of Paris and Venice my great aunt and uncle took when they were on a vacation there. I thought some of them were pretty cool, so I scanned them for you to see. Arc de Triomphe Parade Venice I don't know how long ago they were taken, but those are great pictures! ,4^ -
I swear, my class was not that titchy last year when we were Freshmen. Really, we weren't! Half of their class are so small... (No offense to any Freshmen who may be reading this.) And meanwhile, I have to get used to the fact that the Sophomores are now Juniors and the Juniors are the Seniors. When people don't change much over the summer, it's immensely difficult to picture them being a grade higher. ... And yes, that includes myself. Being a Sophomore is weird. Mainly in having a class below us after being the youngest for a year. And that half of my friends were Sophomores last year and are now Juniors. There are three new girls in my class, but a bunch of old students left (thankfully including almost everyone I didn't like). Otherwise, this year looks to be interesting in terms of classes. (Note that everything today was only about 15 minutes due to Orientation day schedule.) Latin remains my favorite – we still have Dr. Jones and our class is mostly the same, minus people who left the school, one who dropped the subject, and a couple who take it at a different time due to their schedules. But when we walked into the room, we almost all took exactly the same seats as we had last year, and it was as if we had never left. Sort of freaky, but much fun, as we started translating various Roman tombstone inscriptions that Dr. Jones had assembled for us. And which I continued after class, even though he said we didn't have to do them for homework. The Biology teacher isn't evil like I thought he was, although he is strict, which was the only side of him I saw last year (not having a class with him). As Biology is one of my favorite subjects, this is good. Our textbook is huge, though. French III was good – our class is loads smaller than it was last year, which is fine by me. But what was best was that I learned that we're covering all the rest of French grammar this year – the rest of the subjunctive and an overview of the passé simple, which are the two things I don't know. I want to drop French after this year so I have room in my schedule for Art (completely full right now because of two languages), but my mom doesn't want me to. Nn. The final class of note was Advanced Algebra – a combination of Algebra 2 and Pre-Calculus in one year, although our textbook is labelled only the latter. And is also intimidatingly huge. We also got calculators of the TI-84 variety, which are swell. The teacher had something of an "Everything you know is wrong" introduction to it, although "Everything you know is actually something else" might be more accurate. As in that multiplying binomials is exactly the same as multiplying two two-digit numbers. He then proceeded to give us a sheet of complicated Algebra problems for homework without the slightest instruction of how to do them. Fun. ^^ English II and World History II lacked anything of note, although I maintain that Catcher in the Rye is the worst book I've ever read. Bleh. I have a new teacher for History; I'd much rather have had the one from last year (but she's retiring this year, so her classes are split with the new teacher). The day finished with most of the Sophomore class removing to the fields, where we played what was described as "the laziest game of soccer ever." Which meant it was fun, as some of us just stood around and were interference. I also almost literally ran into various 11th-grade friends at the end of the day, which was quite fun. Quote of the day: Leigh Ann: *holds up one of Ali's crutches to her face* "This has the exact spacing of a Tiki mask." Brook: "You are, like, the only person who would say that." – ToM

So school started for me, and guess what? Everything but the logistic side went smooth. By the logistic side I mean my bookbag, which fell apart, no kiddin'. And my bike, which rear tire went flat on the very first day. Hmm, entry idea... Yes, this is about bikes. Since we Dutch are the bicycle nation of the world, I suppose I can write an entire entry about bikes! And not the very good parts! No, this is about all the perhaps-not-memorable moments I had with my bike: #1: I was on my way home, I had the wind in my back, so I picked up quite some speed and this fairly long street. Under normal circumstances, the above are quite normal, I pay attention to the road and everything on it. And I don't really look at all the pretty birds which chirp and kuckoo their throats out. So it was quite obvious I didn't see the one coming that would fly right into my front wheel... Yes that actually did happen, and it was not pleasant, it was messy, and I somersaulted. Which is what also happened with... #2: Terschelling (hah try that!), a small island of the coast of Harlingen. I went mountainbiking there in the summer two years back. I like to think of myself as an experienced road user. So I went off road... And I met a tree... Well actually, the right side of my handlebar met the tree, which was enough to make for a second somersault. #3: Valenti and I are maniacs, something you might already know. So we went for a small trip through the neighbourhood on our mountainbikes. Narrow alley + not so narrow handlebar = handlebar hitting wall and flipping into my chest with great speed. #4: Has something to do with my privates so lets not go there. And that's all I can think of at the moment. I might remember more, at some time in a distant future. Well, g'day to everyone. -|IXI

The past week was... I don't know how to descrbe it, um... busy, boring, fun and tireing. We actually went to Vriginia, (I thought it was Tennessee.) We were right on the boarder of the two states though. We went for my great aunt and uncle's 50th aniversery. We stayed at a Holiday Inn to sleep, and durring the day we were at our cousin's house. They're my mom's cousins and their children, so my 2nd & 3rd cousins. Most of them are older than me, and they way they occasionally acted felt okward, but usualy it was fun just to watch them talk to each other. It was like watching TV. And before we left we lit a bonfire! ,4^

Lets just say my first day of school sucked. The thing that I am kinda mad at about my school, is that they didn't give me an updated version of my schedule. So my first hour of school was basically going to the wrong class at the wrong room a the wrong time. So as I was walking around in circles, I decided to go down to the Student Account offices and be up in their face and stuff, and got me my updated schedule, which comes in brand new flavors of new class hours, locations, and even different teachers. So I missed my first class today as I was chasing my tail, but I made it to my second class. -Omi

Back to school, Back to school. To prove to my dad that I'm not a fool. I got my lunch pack; My shoes tied tight! I hope I don't get in a fight! Oh back to school, Back to school. Today is my first day at Holyoke Community College (which is in Massachusetts). Not my first time being at a college, since I was at The New England Institute of Art. Today I have English and Theatre! And if anyone can guess the movie I quoted the song from, you get 50 awesome points. -Omi
