That's all! Bye journal (this one at least)!

I'm hungry
Smell flows upstairs
Where is my chicken?

I made a new batch of icons. This doesn't happen often, so come take a look if you're interested.  A few are some which I had made for myself personally, but I am no longer using them so I'm giving them away.
Enjoy, please comment if taking. Feel free to add text to blank icons. Credit is appreciated, not required.

First real album I ever owned was Green Day: American Idiot. I was around 13 or 14 years old, and back then, I thought it was the most incredible thing I had ever heard (it was also the first music I had listened to with cursing in it). Today,  American Idiot is laying at the bottom of my shelf with a cracked case collecting dust. It's something I almost never listen to, considering how much my musical taste has changed. Pop Punk to Gothic Rock ( or as I like to say, Green Day to Bauhaus) is quite a transformation, though I will never forget my first music "love".


 

Because I don't have anything interesting to post.
 

   

   The class all watched in anticipation. It was team Better Than Them Vs. team Better Than Better Than Them. Both were up against each other in one final, glorious battle to succeed with superior francophone skills. I of course, failed my mission. Having not studied the French words for "next to" I sent our beloved team, Better Than Them, to a certain death. Or at least humiliation in front of Ms. Bednarz.

After that glorious saga, came the moment of truth; the time of calorie consumption. As I sat at my table with my energy supply in front of me, fair Amanda and my sidekick of identical name, Abby (quite possibly my doppelganger) approached beneath the heavenly light of the royal and far away land, Cafeteria. 

After the dining, I proceeded to the world in which all times past and present, come forth into one land ruled over by the magnificent Mr. Hood, world-famous time traveler and messenger of war (as well as politics, industrialization and more recently, Nazism). 

Having survived Mr. Hood’s lectures of intoxication, I arrived at the strange and pungent chemical dump where chlorine binds with iodine, and pennies consist of, contrary to popular belief, more than copper. Here we were presented by the god "Mr. Diaz" with a boxed show depicting the adventure of fictional humanoids into the center of planet Earth. This phenomenon is known as "movie" and this event is called "The Core". 

Finally, I would reach the moment of climax. The planet of English tongue, ruled over by the queen, Ms.Sorgent, who (as her flying monkeys) had us put on a Shakespearean play for her amusement. It was a terrifying sight. Humans became lions, moons, and even worse, walls. The horror would soon be over however. Like a song from the heavens, a bell rang and the prisoners of Tracy High were at last, free.

Translation: My day at school today. Dramatized.

I die a little on the inside everytime I see things like THIS in MY local NEWSPAPER:

 

What, did the Chinese write that too? Using a really bad translator? 

Scanned from the morning newspaper for your viewing displeasure.

 Rain patters against the glass outside as I eat a Fun Dip candy in front of my glowing computer screen. Basically,  that's what's going on right now.

Alrighty, I want to know who's brilliant idea it was to put the goddamn trash can under the water sprout at school. Even if the trash floating to the top was funny...gross...but funny nonetheless. 

Say! You know what rainy days make me feel like? Drawing. Okay, okay, so everything makes me feel like drawing. But rain has a particular sort of inspiration that's particularly good when you are drawing gloomy or even romantic scenes. Note how I used "gloomy" and "romantic" together in that last sentence. Yep. That's basically my love situation right now.

OH MY FREAKING GOD, there was an EARTHQUAKE just NOW. And I mean two minutes ago! 

I was so scared! Iv'e never felt an earthquake before, and I was upstairs too. It was powerful! My bed was shifting left to right! I'm still shaken from it all (no pun intended). 

Apparently it happened in San Jose, an hour from where we live! It was mega strong there, strong enough to be felt pretty powerfully all the way here. Ahhh, somebody hug me!

Iv'e got nothing to post today. So behold:

 
A taco cat.

                Every once in a while, I get bad news poured on me and this is one of those times. Some of you may be aware of how bad the situation with houses here in the United States is (or is this just a California thing?). A lot of people are losing their homes.  We're next. :(

                So we can't pay for our house anymore (the fact that we live in an expensive neighborhood doesn't help), and the situation is especially bad here in my city. Since we're losing our house, we're getting ready to sell it. Mom's already made me start packing. If everything goes well, we might manage to rent a house until I finish High School. If everything doesn't go well...we'll be moving to Gilroy (a city where the situation is far better)as soon as next year. Which sucks.

Gilroy is this distant land in California, which is known for being the capital city of...GARLIC. Do you know how much I HATE garlic? The taste is vile, the smell is horrid, and I'll be moving to a city that worships it. Iv'e been to Gilroy a few times, and the air stinks of garlic. I complained to dad about this, and his response was "well, this place stinks like cow poop". Which is true...the city we live in is surrounded by cow farms, but I've grown to like that animal smell. Garlic I will never get used to. God damn. At least I'll be safe from vampires. -.-;

I'm so sad. :(

I cried when I heard the news.

I'll be leaving all of my friends.

My teachers

And my school, which I doubt will ever be replaced.

I'll have to start all over again, when I've worked so hard to get where I am. 

I've lived here all my life. And now I must say goodbye? 

*tear*

Every once in a while, I run into something very strange on YouTube. But this is just exceptionally weird. This is a Japanese video that teaches what to do when you are being robbed by engish-speaking men. Combined with a language lesson and some kind of bizarre workout. What? You really, really got to see for yourself:

 
I know I couldn't stop laughing.

And now, a moment of silence to those who died on this day in 2001.
******************************************************************************* 

So I still have my review on Paris, France and the two musical( The Lion King and The Phantom of the Opera) reviews to post. But I'm not going to. *evil laugh*

I'm not going to kill myself over the keyboard to type and post something super long that nobody's going to read. So; unless anyone specifically would like to read about my experience in Paris or at the two shows, I'm not posting them up. So...request what you'd like, and I'l post it up for you lovely people.

What's been going on? Well I'm back in school, I dumped my boyfriend and Iv'e been sick as a dog from some apparent food poisoning. Yup, it's all good in the bat cave.

BAD SELF-PORTRAIT TIME!


Oh yes, I look so good in blur. Somebody get me a proffesional quality camera for Christmas.

Holy...just, wow. I was gone that long? No, Iv'e been back from Europe for weeks now. XP So why haven't I posted anything? Because I'm writing up a huge review of my trip, which will be the next post. Sorry for abandoning you all!

Well folks, tommorow I'll be leaving to the United Kingdom on my London/Paris trip. I'll be back in about two weeks with plenty of photos and cool stuff to share, okay? See ya all later!
Au Revoir!

So a while ago I posted a journal entry ranting about how pirates and penguins are everywhere and how annoying it's getting:

"Hey, anyone else notice how penguins are like, taking over the world? same goes for the abundant pirates. For all we know, Penguin Pirates ( now that's a curious mental image) are assembling their armies in some distant and magical land- such as Tahiti -and are preparing for world domination at this very moment. I can imagine them now...goosestepping down our streets as they pollute our shopping areas with cute merchandise of all sorts. The very thought of it frightens me so...."

Then I saw this joke in the latest Nick magazine ( click for bigger!):



(sorry if that took a while to load)You can thank me for scanning the thing later. But OH THE IRONY.

Anyways, I'm free from school! That's right folks, I'm on break and that makes me happy.

           Well I haven't gone to school since Tuesday since Iv'e been sick with some kind of virus or something. I wonder how my poor Anthony's doing. Basically, Iv'e been laying around the house and watching re-runs of old sitcoms and chilling documentaries on the History Channel. 

            I finally managed to get a new iPod nano after my first one got stolen ( refer to post, "Stupid Hitler" which was a while back). 

Our tickets for British Airways are here! Basically, I'm all set and ready to go on my London/Paris trip, and all that stands between that and now are two weeks of patient waiting. Europe, here I come.

UGHHH....alergies..*sniff*. And another thing, FINALS. That's right folks, only two more weeks left of school which means tests, essays and all that stuff we just love so much. -.-

Random thought coming up; it needs to be Halloween.  I'm sure all my fellow Goths out there agree, am I right? Anyways...I'm thinking I could get the club at school to all dress up on Halloween and go trick-or-treating together, because quite frankly, one looks stupid dressing up alone. Not that I...really care...

Hey, anyone else notice how penguins are like, taking over the world? same goes for the abundant pirates. For all we know, Penguin Pirates ( now that's a curious mental image) are assembling their armies in some distant and magical land- such as Tahiti -and are preparing for world domination at this very moment. I can imagine them now...goosestepping down our streets as they pollute our shopping areas with cute merchandise of all sorts. The very thought of it frightens me so....

 So I'm back up after what..two weeks without posting? It's been a boring month. 

What has happened:

I finally went on my first date with Anthony. Saw Spider Man 3.

My passport to travel to Europe next month is ready!

I was chosen by my art teacher ( I'm her favorite *fangy smile*) to design the logo for A+'s walkathon/run.

I ate at our new local Chili's

My dog farted ( and it smelled SOOO BAD!!!)

It was my dad's birthday.

I gave Anthony a Pokemon card which he wanted very much.

...............That's basically it.
