I think some of you have Standardized Testing this week also, am I correct? How does your school do it? Mine only uses two days, and freshmen get out at 11:30 both days. Today my teacher gave us popcorn. =D
I really need to go clothes shopping. The weather's getting warmer, and some of my things I've outgrown/my sister really wants them. But I don't really want to buy a whole bunch of stuff because I need to save money for Deutschland and I wouldn't bring all my summer clothes with me anyway.
Eeek, I don't know how I'm supposed to fit half a year's worth of stuff into two suitcases with maximum weight 27 kg. Or something like that. Because not only do I need to bring clothes for warm weather, I also need to bring clothes for cold weather and things that I can't do without for half a year. =/ So I'm leaving things that I can buy there here at home, unless they are way cheaper here or something.
Oh, and we're already emptying our freezer so we can shut off one of our two refrigerators while no one is home.
Have a nice rest of the day, everyone! <3

PROM
omg. it's on saturday. my FIRST PROM EVER.
i got a dress yesterday. i'll post pics after prom.
i don't have a date, so me and my best friend maddie are buying eachother corsages.
but anyway, i got my dress at held over in the haight for $40. except it needs to be: taken in, shortened, and the straps need to be shortened.
and it really needs a lining, or i really need a slip, but i think i'm just going to be a slut and go without because i don't have time/money to go and deal with that. it's not THAT bad, i'm just worried for camera flashes. whatever.
and i got shoes. aka the greatest shoes EVER:

the gold part in the heel is a cut-out (!!!!)


this is my cat.

she just came and sat down when i was taking pictures.

i can't take a pic of my dress because it's getting altered. and whenever you try to explain dresses, they always end up sounding really ugly. always. so i'm not even going to try.
this is the one i REALLY WANTED, but not for $420.

mine is a little bit like it sorta, but no sequins :(
maybe one day i'll sew some on myself. one day when i learn to sew.
btw, srsly, where is sabrinarrrrr?

This weekend
I kind of like this weekend. My entire family went up to the mountain house except me since I had work, babysitting and the Day of Silence/Night of Noise. I got so pissed off at Day of Silence this year. Friday during the day was so fail-filled. I managed to -get jam all over my sweatshirt -miss my light rail by about thirty seconds (we pulled up to Winchester as it was leaving) -spill water on myself and -be late to the rally my friend volunteered me to MC. Night of Noise was fun, though.
I also found out I have 721.28 dollars more than I thought I did. That brings my total balance up to 721.28 dollars.

You know the world has deteriorated when...
Last night...
So last night was Senior Ball.
I was so late getting ready but it was all gooood. Ah i hate limos! It was so crowded on the way there, i wanted to tear my head off....it felt like the longest ride to SF ever in my LIFE! But we got there in 30 minutes all ready to partay.
I danced all night so my feet were BLACK by the end of the night.
The songs got hella boring for a while but i stayed on the dance floor, i mean what else is there to do but dance....even if the songs suck ass. But then they cleaned it up with some E-40 and all was good again.
I'll post some pix when i get them, i didnt take my camera because i was paranoid so i relied on other people's cameras to document the night.
Now i have to go finish my "senior thesis paper" so i can graduate.
Who schedules the most important senior paper to be due the monday after senior ball?
My retarded ugly ass english teacher...BOOO!

hey dudes.
idk i'm just so i thought i'd post.
but i'm going prom dress shopping tomorrow, and i'll DFEINIETLY have a dress to post tomorrow, because basically, prom is in ONE WEEK FROM TODAY, and i don't have a dress. or a date. but my best friend's brother is trying to get dates for me and her haha. idk how hard he's really trying....
here, i'll rip some photos of my friends off of facebook and tell you about them. i'm so dead if they ever find this, but idk how they would. except this is connected to my personal blog, but whatever:

clockwise starting with me: me, katie k, maria, amanda, vivian. all the boys chase amanda. this just isn't really a super good photo of her. she got asked to prom like three times.

this is me and chris hatfield, the guitarist from we are the fury, ar warped tour '07. we're going to get married. just fyi.

this is a starfish i made for biology last year, i never got it back. i want it. it's foam and paper machee.

this is katie w "pretending" to eat out of a garbage can.

this is me and sosha being redonkulous in journalism. aka the class of the century. yay, here's next year's editor-in-chief being completely unproductive and setting the worst example possible for the rest of the staff!

clockwise from left: vivian, maddie (my bff), crystal, katie w. they didn't know i was taking this pic, but katie and vivian's faces are amazing. hahahaha. vivian's extremely un-photogenic. this is one of many photos of her that she untagged herself in on facebook.

me and claire in journalism. we use macs, and this was in photobooth :))))

me and courtney on the plane to mexico over spring break.
yeah i'm going to go play around on polyvore.com
ps: shit, all the photos got cut off because i didn't use the official uploader thing. i'm too lazy to fix it now, maybe i will later...

Harry Potter and less exciting things
I'm a huge Harry Potter fanatic too in case there was any question. I feel kind of bad for Steve (the guy she is suing) because everyone hates him now. Nee-sa we should totally talk Potter sometime. Lena too.
I'm in my English 001A class and I am so bored. We are supposed to be writing our proposals for the research paper, but I don't want to. Doing work for this class is pointless because it is all busy work anyways. I already wrote the paper, why should I do the preliminary work for it now?
I guess that's all really.
Oh and I'm hungry because there is nothing in the whole world I can eat this week except fruit and I don't want any fruit. Boo.

Words.
In response to Lena: I don't know either why anyone deserves anything they get. We're all just people, but maybe what is the root of deserving is one's personal integrity: There's a point at going to far with everything, but the question is where that line will lie. Okay, I'm getting really overly philosophical here. Sorry everybody.
Also, if you EVER want to attempt making falafel, make sure you keep the frying oil on medium heat (or get help from someone who actually knows what they're doing). Today I was making some and saw the box said the oil needed to be '375 degrees'. For whatever reason, this connected with 'high heat' in my mind and when I started cooking the falafel I accidentally splattered it and so now I have burns all over my right hand. Damnit.
That's all, I'm starting to misspell random words unnecessarily.
-Michi
P.S. Where's Sabrina?

4/20 sucks, oh well, that's not actually what this is about
Dude, I was listening to some music in another tab; I opened this one and Nee-sa's song thing started playing, and I couldn't figure out why the song I was listening to sounded so weird for several minutes. Which is way too long.
Oh, I noticed that sweatshirt too! The one Rebecca was wearing.
I got up at 5:30 am this morning to go help out at the SJ Family Shelter. I think I cracked about fifty eggs into a bowl to make scrambled eggs.
Places like that always make me really depressed because I don't understand why some people are in there and I am not. Why do I have the things I need while they do not? What happened to them to make them get to this point? Why hasn't it happened to my family? None of us deserve what we have.
Lena
P.S. I think my "M" key is starting to stick. Possibly. I hope not. =(

i'm a harry potter fanatic.
this is sort of in response to rebecca, and just to generally state that i am a HUGE harry potter fan, if you didn't know.
SO. the thing rebecca was referring to was that j.k. rowling is sueing these guys that were trying to publish a harry potter encyclopedia called the harry potter lexicon. they already run a lexicon website, which she is fine with, but she thought that a published version of it would be copyright infringement.
anyway....i know everything there is to know about hp, so if you ever have a question or just want to talk about it, you can talk to me.
hahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
ps: rebecca, i did notice that you were wearing a da sweatshirt at the bowling meetup, but i didn't say anything because i didn't think it was the time or the place ;)
pps: EVERYONE. go and download "indie rokkers" by mgmt and "yours to keep" by the teddy bears. RIGHT NOW.

I feel like such a nerd right now
I just found out JK Rowling is suing some guy I used to know from the Harry Potter Nerd World for something. I don't feel like reading all the stuff online to figure out what is going on so I am listening to a MuggleCast where they are going to talk about it. This is some embarrassing nostalgia.
yeeeeee!
my computer's fixed!
i can type "n"s, "b"s, "?"s, and use the arrow keys now!
prom is in two weeks.
i don't have a date.
i don't have a dress.
help me.

Amazing!
So today was crazy.
I am hella tired. I woke up hella early, went to SF, then straight to Campbell and got home *pfft* dead.BUT I AM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW!!
I guess my brain has just been able to chillout today, well, from 4pm on...
Like:
*I listened to placebo for about an hour without freaking out over anything...amazing.
*I read a bad A Wolf At The Table review in a magazine and it just made me even more excited to read it.
*I enjoyed some starbucks even though i spilt a good amount of it on my pants
*Oh and I watched the video from the Blaqk Audio listening party over here for the 1st time since it was 1st posted in August. I love how 9 months later, i finally get giddy over it. Its like a Lucy-Sandy-Blaqk Audio hugfest.
I may try to get my Mika poster, my Jeffree Star print that my teacher made for me, and some abandoned afi posters up on my wall tomorrow.
This is getting too random and long. Im just able to think, so im happy and when im happy i blab. So the end.

Passover starts tomorrow
I'm not enthused. Tomorrow I have to sit in a car for two hours in order to stand around awkwardly for a few hours then sit around awkwardly for a few hours. We are going to my aunt and uncle's house, but the other side of their family is going to be there too. That means everyone there will know (and be related to) everyone else except me (and my family). That probably doesn't make sense, but I can't seem to explain it well.
Passover is quite difficult when you are a vegetarian who doesn't eat eggs or drink milk. I'll probably starve. At least Passover waited until after my birthday this year, I actually got cake on my birthday.
Edit: If you start to post something, decide not to and exit out, the post is saved as a draft and everyone who is signed up as an author can still read it. I just figured this out and figured I'd mention it.

I am the WORST at speaking in front of people and i have a presentation 4th period.
I dont feel hella nervous in my head but my body is reacting like CRAZY. My stomach hurts and i need to pee...but i really dont.
Wish me luck! I hope i dont pass out or cry.
Who knew gun control can be so stressful!

journalism internships.
i'm currently on the waiting list for a summer program at northwestern university, but the chances that they'll take me off are slim. they're only expecting one or two openings. last year they didn't get any.
so, i've moved on, and i'm applying to intern at the daily cal. if that doesn't work out, the contra costa times has a pretty lame teen writers section, but hey, it's something. if THAT doesn't work, there's a local-er paper i interned at in 2007, and they loved me there, so i know they'd take me back if i wanted to work for them again.
the process of writing cover letters, filling out applications, getting rec letters, putting together resumes...i'm so over it.
what's going to happen to me when i'm applying for college? i'm going to die, and then i'm going to have to go to dvc (community college ;) )

Intro
I hadn't meant for this to take so long, so I feel kinda guilty. I feel this very often.
I didn't want to procrastinate, because it's one of the things I hate doing the most, but I just could not think of what I should write. I'm shy! I'm awkward! I don't know what to say!
Okay. Um, I have a mother, a father, two brothers, and a sister, but no pets.
I'm a freshman in high school, and I prefer not to be known there. I like anonymity.
The only places I feel I belong are in a classroom, in my house by myself, or with my friends. I feel out of place almost everywhere else.
Speaking of friends, I don't have a best one. At school I have three or four close (ish) ones. None of them are friends with each other, and all of them have other friends. As a result, during lunch break I either sit by one of them and their group and awkwardly stay mostly silent, or I sit by myself.
I know a couple kids in my classes a little, but we don't talk that much outside of class, so I don't really think we are friends.
The rest of my friends live in Germany. I think I may have more friends over there than here. I'm not sure.
Oh yeah, and if you didn't know, I come from Germany. I usually refer to it as Deutschland. So if I ever use that, now you know what it means.
I moved to California when I was two years old, though. On average, my family goes back (usually during the summer) about every two years. Since we moved here in 1994, I have been there in 1996, 1997, 1998, 2000, 2002, 2005, and 2006. I think. Maybe not in '97. What useless info that you didn't want to know.
This summer my family is going back there again, for eight and a half weeks. We are mostly in the west and south of the country, and this time we're visiting friends that live in the east too. Like, way east. Their city is half German and half Polish. We're also going to France for almost two weeks this year. Yay!
The rest of my family will leave the end of August, but I will stay there. (!) I'm going to spend the first semester of my 10th grade year going to school in Deutschland. I'm reeeeeeeeally excited.
I'm assuming I'll still be allowed to post in here while I'm away, but if I'm not, let me know...
Okay, enough about me. I never talk about me. It feels weird!
I'd better go to bed or I will feel guilty about staying up too late.
Lena
P.S. I have a tendency for run-on sentences. I swear I try to fix most of them!

RIP Drama
Who in the world totally doesn't hate drama?
Okay, enough random. Today, we were shown a presentation about HIV/AIDS at school. The 'assembly' as they called it brought all the freshmen together to watch the hour long drama-rife story about why condoms are good and how polyurethane is better than latex or vice-versa. Wow.
I need to draw again. Does anybody have any ideas as to what I could draw? I'm willing to do free commissions of pretty much anything, feel free to comment on this blog or PM me on the boards if you have ideas; it would be much appreciated.
Wish I had something interesting to say; sorry that I don't!

Also: What's the matter with half sheets of paper for homework? I tried to turn one in to my French teacher today and she took one look and said, out loud, "You've GOT to be KIDDING me." Booooooo.

First Post by Rebecca
A bit about me:
My name is Rebecca, my friends call me Becky, but I wish they wouldn't. I have a typical family, mom, dad, little sister, little brother, dog. I also have my best friend on earth, Kate, who has been my best friend since we were six. We have nothing really in common anymore, but that doesn't seem to matter.
Friends that aren't Kate get a little more difficult. I had a really tight-knit group of friends last year, me and two other girls (one of whom was named Rebecca, which is why people call me Becky) were live-for-you/die-for-you friends. At the beginning of this year, everything fell apart. We aren't friends anymore, and I don't really know why. Now I have a sort of group of friends who I hang out with when I'm at school, but it's not the same.
I'm a junior in high school, but I'm enrolled in the Middle College program. Middle College is basically a program which lets me take classes at West Valley Community College and they count for both high school and college credits. I have to take high school English and history twice a week, but those classes are held at West Valley. I love the program for the most part, but I really dislike 75% of the people and tolerate the other 25%. It's still better than high school.
I love to read. My favourite books are Harry Potter, the Kushiel's Legacy series, Fight Club, East of Eden, The Outsiders, The Lord of the Flies and more that I won't name. I also love movies and going to the movies (being the only person in a theater in the middle of the day during the work week is wonderful).
There's more, but my internet will turn off in one minute so this will have to do.

reality tv is.....REAL.
anyone seen commercials for the new mtv show the paper?
...because that's what my newspaper staff is going through right now.
we're applying for editorial staff positions for next year.
i want to be editor-in-cheif SO bad. i think i have a pretty good shot at it, too, but i don't want to get my hopes up just to be dissapointed.
i had my interview tonight (we go in at night to work on the paper during deadline week...like in the show :) ).
i think it went well, but i kind of blabbed on about stuff...it was obvious i was nervous, i think they'll give me a break on that. hopefully.
i keep replaying it over and over in my head, trying to decode anything i may have missed during the interview...trying to see what they were thinking as far as nee-sa = e-i-c.
our newpaper advisor hasn't told us yet when she'll pick the positions by, but i think it should be before the end of this week.
but anyway, yeah. it's weird to see that mtv show, because, seriously, that's exactly how it is. at least my staff is. we have tabooed "staff-cest" relationships and we're all super competitive. you always see those shows and you think it's all edited to make it out to be something it's not.
however, the paper is all for real ;)
go and watch it on mtv.com, fer serious.

Lucy likes to talk in third person
Lucy is going crazy.
So i have 2 months of High School left.
Let me warn those of you who arent there yet...when you are in the last two months of your senior year you will want to kill yourself. Like, bottom line. And its not just me feeling this way.
Like i want to leave right NOW. But i already payed for Grad Night and a prom dress so i need to stay. haha
Senior "Ball" is so much more drama than it needs to be.
Ok so we are taking a limo to prom, its gonna be in SF. But the people who booked the limo are planning on having the limo hella hours after prom. And its like, "no! i wanna go HOME!" or atleast go and eat with the people i like and in the East Bay...i dont wanna be in SF until 3am with you idiots" Why must my friends have such retarded friends! Im probably gonna have my sister pick me and po up in SF so we wont have to depend on them for a ride home.
I havnt been online as much, or atleast talking. I dont even let people at school talk to me right now.I have 2 research papers due in a few weeks and a little presentation on Friday. The presentaion should be a piece of cake but my brainn wont let me think about its ince its already so burnt out trying to figure out what im gonna do with the research papers. I dont know what im gonna DO on friday...its gonna suck.
And i may fail Calculus...and he hates me. I have a D+ now and he gave me a D+ on my report card, ok thats my grade. BUT other people have F's...F's! and he gave them C-'s on thier report cards! LAME!!
So thats whats going on in my life right now. ^-^
And i need a good chicken recipe for a culinary scholorship competition. Which is hard since i dont eat chicken and you guys dont either. haha But omg, i dont know what im gonna do.
So if your mom knows a good chicken dinner...send it over.

Michi 101
I really don't know how to start this, I guess. Well, there's the first thing about me: I can be pretty shy/awkward at times; most of those times I am able to overcome that and be somewhat social.
I don't have many friends 'round these parts, (my best friend Jay lives in Montreal) but Kelsey (my best school friend) is great. I can really trust her not to judge me most times, and we've been tight since grade 7. She rocks!
Obviously, one of my favorite bands is AFI, but I love pretty much all music, to the point where I make it a career. I don't have a band per sé, but Jay and I definitely want to start one. I play drums and guitar (though I'm WAY amateur at that second one) and sing in the choir at school. I love listening to nearly every kind of music, the only BIG exceptions being most country, most rap, and 'crunk'.
This is getting hella long now... I also speak French though not fluently; I think my teacher eats souls aside from her teaching.
Anything else anyone wants to know can ask but otherwise the word 'I' has already been said too many times.
-Michi --> http://willdrumforvinyl.blogspot.com
P.S. I seem to have a love affair with the application of 'P.S.'
P.P.S. That goes for parentheses too.

the firts official post about NEE-SA
if you ever feel like you want to, you can read my other blog n-i-s-u-h.blogspot.com.
just so you know.
so. i'm a junior in high school...school sucks right now. i only have nine weeks left, though, so that's good.
i love journalism more than anything. i'm currently a staff writer for my school's paper, the mirador, and next year i'm going to have an editorial position, either as editor-in-chief, managing editor, or opinion editor.
i would do anything for that paper. it's like my life. although, i don't think i really come off as the "school paper" freak when you first meet me.
i want to be an e-i-c more than anything though.
i have a really tight-knit group of best friends. unlike lucy's crew, we do not have a name ;)
my very best friend, maddie, has been my best friend since seventh grade. we becam friends with best friends vivian and maria freshman year, and then katie 1, katie 2, and amanda showed up. we would totally do anything for eachother. we're all really different on the outside, but it's like we have a such a deep understanding of eachother, that it doesn't matter.
i've liked the same guy for a while, and we've had little "things" now and then, but it's going nowhere, although i just can't move on. you know how it is.
i don't have a date for prom.
i "do" art, but i never put it on the internet. sorry. i'm just too lazy. i think when i make my ap portfolio next year, i might start putting things on the internet for people to see because i have to take digital pictures anyway to make slides to send with my portfolio. i like painting with acrylics and certain forms of printmaking the most. right now we're learning how to make our own slik screens, which is awesome.
i'm an only child, my parents are divorced, i'm vegetarian, i have a cat, my favorite color is ultramarine blue, i used to have long hair, i can almost fluently speak french, i play guitar, i'm not allergic to anything, i sunburn easily, i can drive, and i'm a girl scout.
okay, this is way long.

Fonts?
Hi guys,
What about using different fonts (color, size, whatever) for everyone? It would make it a lot easier to keep each other apart and not get confused.

oh yeah, i forgot to add...
in the beginning stages of the blog, it'd be great if everyone can sign off with their real name, just so we can get a feel of who's who.
i should be writing my english paper.

INTRO to Lucia
(edit:why does it say i posted this 2 hours ago?)
So, like Nee-Sa said, i guess we dont really know too much of our non DF lives.
So i'll give a an into to me. IM Lucy! Well, my name is Lucia (Lucy-ah)..some people dont even know that! But it doesnt matter because i dont like people calling me that anyways.
i live in a land similar to Katie's in Horton hear a Who.
My best friend's name is PO! Shes the craziest person you will ever meet.... and chinese.

Most of you probably know a lot of this since i basically say everything in conversation if not on myspace.
I have a lovely crew called the East bay Cabronabilly's. (which some of you have met) and they have my back GOOD.
I got my drums in 2003 and DyedREDTwice started with me and my sister in our garage where we played rancid, afi, and white stipes covers. haha It built on from there. We got Rob in 2006 and that is who we are now. Still DyedREDTwice, the vocals on our ep should be finished next month so when it comes out i'll holla at you fools.
Placebo own my heart.
My favorite author is Augusten Burroughs. Read him, you'll love it.
I make some kickass cookies and have nice original recipes for vegan chocolate chip cookies and what i like to call "Cakies".
You guys know me as an Adam Carson freak, and some of you know my other obsessions but lets share: Stefan Olsdal own me. "MIKA! MIKA MIKA MIKA!" There you go...thats me. Bobby Crosby! He is why i can watch the A's lose....so damn sexy. But only in a baseball uniform.
Since i was born my brother has been trying to teach me to be fabulous, which ended up in me now walking, talking and having the ego of a gay man.
I hate sluts and whores.
I get sad when i find out people are Straight Edge. I cant help it. Im NOT a bad influence though, i swear. Even though while one of my friends was straight edge for years until she started hanging out with me more....she didnt HAVE to take the vodka!
I am hella close to my brothers and sister. We are like puppies, we form a little ball on a couch like little newborn puppies when theres 2 other couches. haha
My parents are amazing. They taught us to do whatever we want in life and dont give a fuck what others think....even family members.
I like chilling, i love the mall. She when we hang out..its either at a house or a mall....or a park.
The way to my heart is a big fat handbag.
my fave lyric of my senior year, also my senior quote:
"im in a race and it's killing time, i dont need yours i'll keep it with mine. Cant you see these skies are breaking, cuz im in a race and im doing fine...thank you."
i dont know what to put. The best way to get to know me is to spend time together. IM hard to trasfer on the internet......which is why this is what you get most of the time "ahhhhhh! ^-^!!!!!"

Okay, so Hi.
The Purpose of this Blog
so.
of course we all talk all the time on the boards, but those threads are only intended to be discussion about df-related stuff.
and i mean...we all know eachother, but i still feel like i don't know anything about anyone's life outside the despair faction.
so this blog is to post things about yourself that we might not already know.
post pics, updates on your life, random thoughts...anything you like, really. let us know what's going on in your life.
of course, this blog does not exclude df-related topics...it's pretty much open to anything. however, suggestions on meetups, etc, should be kept on the boards for obvious reasons.
just try to avoid using this blog as a discussion board to "chat"....it'll pollute the blog.
happy posting,
Nee-Sa
