Sorry, it's been a while...

Haha sorry i haven't actually blogged in awhile (not that too many people would miss me, i only have two followers xD) I was too busy starting my freshman year of high school, sorry for any inconvenience... (that was a joke. haha.)

So anyway, i don't usually have time during the week to get on my laptop because of soccer (more latter) and homework. I was actually a wreck the first week because I was so stressed, I wasn't getting enough sleep, and I got sick, and people kinda make me nervous xP
But today I got online and saw I got an email notifying me that I got a comment on my Maximum Ride User Casting wall, from someone congratulating me on making the top five in the Nudge auditions. I only have one audition video up, so i was like whaaat?? And it wasn't even a Nudge monologue.. it was an Ella Monologue... (I mean, I have more audition videos, but I haven't put them on my computer yet.)

Also, on Wednesday, I had my first soccer game of the season. Probably the worst game I've ever attended. I can't say that I contributed to the loss, because my coach never put me in. I give away half my summer to her, and she doesn't even put me in. And it isn't because I'm a sucky player (I'm like fourth from the bottom...) it's mostly because this coach is new, so she didn't want to make cuts, but there weren't enough players for a JV and Varsity team, she just kept all the players and put em on one team. Not smart. There was like ten of us that never got to play. Including my friend, Kat, who was like a great starting midfielder last year. Still pretty pissed. But I'll get over it. If she lets me play. Eventually.

Likes and Dislikes?

Do likes and dislikes distinguish a person for what STEREOTYPE they fit under? (I'm starting to capitalize it.) Because if they do, I guess I'd fit under lots of different STEREOTYPES. I know, I've had STEREOTYPES on the brain for the past few days... actually, most of the summer. Because you know... high school and all. I kinda wonder if high school is REALLY like they portray in those "reality" tv shows. (you know which ones that cause me to put quotation marks around reality) Because in a town as small as mine, it's kinda hard to believe that my high school could be filled with so much drama. And if there is, I probably never got into it, because I never knew about it. Yeah, I'm pretty out of the loop.

But hey, I found this backpack online that I really want!!!



yeah, pokemon! I know, I am a dork n___0

Holt Camp

I know I just posted, but I forgot to tell you how my experience at Holt Camp was like!

First of all, if you don't know what it is, (your loss) it's a camp for kids that have been adopted from Asia. We do all the normal camp stuff, like swim, hang out, eat, do skits, stuff like that. But we also have two adoption sessions everyday for people to share their emotions and thoughts on adoption and being adoption without the fear of being judged. We also do morning rotations (hip hop dancing, Adoption, Games) and electives (I did creative media n_n).

I was in a cabin (not airconditioned xP) with eleven other girls, including the counselor. They were all really nice, except one didn't listen to Carmen (counselor) much, and one got mad at me for grabbing three hash browns (even though that was all i was eating) but I made some really good friends, and got to see some friends from last year, and I discovered I could do a really good old new jersey man accent xD

And Devany got her first dance with a guy. But he was a total player, he told her she was the fifth girl he had danced with that night but that she was special. *rolls eyes* So she ditched me to hang with him. Leaving me to dance awkwardly in a circle of quiet non-dancing people. I was pretty annoyed with her for the rest of the day. But I got over it, but then she seriously pissed me off on our trip back. I was in the shower at the hotel we were staying at (looong drive) and I got out, and was checking my facebook (after going a week without it) and she just blurts out: "I liked you better in the shower." while listening to her iPod. Yeah, my feelings were hurt, and I wished I had a witty comeback at the time. But whatever. I know that she's a Gemini, and she is probably one of the least compatible with my sign, Capricorn (yeah I know zodiac stuff.) She also got mad at me for no reason at camp, and tried apologizing (which I recognized) but she did it in a totally mean way... she said (something along the lines of)
"yeah, sorry I know I can be a bitch."
"What? I never called you a bitch?"
"But I know when I'm being a bitch... and......____________ (something I don't remember) I know when I'm being mean!"
"umm.... ok..."
" Why can't you just accept the apology?"
"well... I did?"
"no you didn't"
"well... umm.. you're kinda being mean now, apologizing..."
"whatever. forget it. I'll apologize later."

which made me mad at the time, but looking back i think it's hilarious how badly she apologizes. But it's ok, I get it. Being with a person for a week can get boring for a Gemini.... and they get bored pretty easy. Trouble is, Capricorns are sort of boring people, as the capricorn horoscope supposedly says. but whatever, she's just kinda stuck with the best friend title. if she doesn't like it, whatever.

I'm Back!

Stereotypes... one of those things that you believe in, or say you don't believe in to be "one of those people that don't care about what people think about me" kinda people. Truth is, stereotypes are unavoidable. Unless you live in a cave all by yourself I guess... Cliques, too. Just feeling kinda thinky cuz I start high school next Tuesday. Well I guess in a week now, cuz it's 12:03 in the morning. I know, I've been saying I'm excited, but now that it's really right around the corner, I'm a little nervous. I didn't get to go to orientation because I was at Holt Camp (aka, best camp EVER, i miss my cabin girls! also, it's kinda weird being surrounded by white people again. idk... maybe it's just me) but I have an appointment for like 12 something today. Hopefully I'm awake -___- but most of all, I MISS MY FRIENDS!!!! one of my BESTEST guy friends, William, has been in Vietnam ALL summer! He gets back like three days before school starts!!!!! D'x I haven't seen him at ALL this summer, and I miss him so much TT_TT

And first day back at soccer today, and I got punished along with the team because they left trash. 2 minutes of team pushups. may not sound really bad, but trust me, even the seniors were hurting a little. and there was this new girl that must've just shown up for tryouts (which I missed, but they're not making cuts) and not conditioning, cuz I've never seen her before in my life.... and I don't wanna sound rude, but she's not the best. She had her toe under the ball and was flicking it up, and she asked me, "Why does it keep going up like that?" -__- well, according to physics, if you use force while moving in an upward motion, that thing's probably gonna go up too. Just sayin'. But she has the coolest glasses, and seems pretty ok.

It's been a while... I feel like I haven't awkwardly blogged in a long time... i miss you.

Oh, I started watching Shane Dawson videos on YouTube, listening to nevershoutnever, and I know the first few words to a Justin Bieber song. Yes. How one can change in a single week of being gone.

Holt Camp

Today I'm leaving for Holt Camp with Devany! It's a camp for Asian Adoptees, and this may be the last year I go, cuz my dad says it's too far away. This year it's in New Jersey. Yeah, it's a trip for us, cuz we live in Ohio... but anyway, I'll be gone til next Saturday, so no posts for a week. I'll try to take pictures. Try not to miss me too much. (just kidding, haha)

Shirt Shopping

one of my favorite summer pastimes is to browse shirts. I know, lame. But i think it's pretty productive. I find ideas for some of my youtube videos, cool things to say in impossible circumstances, and a good laugh.

seriously though, I love these sites. (I'm still browsing, so I've only found a few good sites.):::::

bustedtees.com

nerdyshirts.com

rumplo.com

cafepress.com

snorgtees.com

they got some cool wordplay shirts (I LOVE wordplay), vintage shirts, identity shirts, and a whole bunch of nifty nuggets.
I seriously suggest you check it out.

Exciting Weekend

I've had a very eventful weekend. Probably the most social weekend I've had all summer. Friday I hung out with my friends Emma and Devany and Devany slept over. Then I went to a birthday party on Saturday, and I hung out with Emma and Devany and Peter today. We went to the pool and Taco Bell, and did henna and made smores. yumm.
But you know what annoys me? When people call you and invite you to a party or other shindig, and tell you that someone else canceled so you can go now. (true story -_-) The party I went to on Saturday. It was great, I had a fun time, but Maya (the girl who invited me) called me five hours before the party, and was like, "Oh yeah, sorry this is short notice, but Franny canceled, so I guess you can come now." Like gee. That makes me feel special. Like I'm second best, yeah. But I had a great time.
Did you know if you're with someone and they're not paying attention, you can lick their elbows and they won't even feel it. I'm serious, Maya told me that so I decided to test it, and I licked my friend, Louisa's elbow. I asked her if she felt it, and she said "felt what?" and Maya and me started cracking up. We kinda made a sport out of it for the rest of the party. I licked Lou's elbow 3 times without her noticing, Megan's once, Maya's once, and Devon's once. I only got my elbow licked once by Devon. it was so much fun. xD
