Author: Sabrina /Jello
Author: Sabrina /I have a growing obsession with Jello since I got this Strawberry Banana kind.
Seriously, I don't know why, but I am totally in love with Jello right now. I have to go get more tomorrow or something.
Also, I can't eat it with a spoon anymore. I have to use a straw.
Again, I'm not sure why, but I loe sucking Jello up through straws. You have like these long little Jello-noodle-worms in your mouth if you do it right without letting any air in to break it. It's pretty incredible, and it makes the Jello last longer, too. It rations it out for you.
So yeah, Strawberry Banana jello is awesome. I iwsh there was a way to keep the Jello as a liquid to drink it. I love drinking the warm Jello mix before it solidifies, but I never drink much of it because then I won't have very much jello to eat with my straw.
I should get a flourescent bendy straw to eat it with.
HOLY FUCK I SHOULD GET A FUCKING FLOURESCENT BENDY STRAW I JUST REALIZED THAT THAT WOULD DOUBLE THE AWESOME
...And I just wrote an entire entry about Jello and straws. I could talk about all of the other shit that has happened recently, including my first time teaching a class, but no.
Jello is better.

Author: Sabrina /Sweet jesus, I was cringing all the way through this. Especially with the bag.
Headphones are a must for this, and closing your eyes can also help. Don't listen when people are around though, you'll undoubtedly look as awkward as I did. Just listen to the top one, the Virtual Haircut.
Get your Virtual Haircut here!

Time
Author: Sabrina /I tend to lose track of it.
I meant to write an entry like a week or so ago after my router went out, but then shit happened and I haven’t gotten around to it until now, at two in the morning. I’m dead tired, but I’m talking to Xoli, so I figure I can stay up a little longer.
So, like two weeks ago, my sister and I went to the mall on Sunday with our friends like we do every Sunday now, but I guess while we were gone the internet stopped working at the house.
My mom is a fucking idiot when it comes to technology, but she figured she could handle it by herself and decided not to call us on what to do about it. So instead of restarting the white router like she should have, she instead unplugged the main modem that Cox told us not to restart. The thing is, it turns out that she ended up calling Cox about the situation because she really apparently needed to be on the internet that badly, ad proceeded to thoroughly fuck over everything. So, after I spend like eight hours running around all day, I just want to get home and get on the internet, only to find out that mommy dearest had just fucked our internet up the ass. Inevitably, being tired, I was having an attitude about it, so she then rules all of this my fault somehow, and she then starts yelling at me about all of this stupid shit. I raged.
So, since then, a lot more of this shitty shit drama going on at my school is continuing, and I am just getting more and more fed up with the whole thing. It would take way too long to explain, but before this year, we have never had drama like this and it’s really pissing me off.
Uhhh… what else has happened…
Well, today I got mistaken for a little boy on XBox Live again. This time they thought I was gay, too, since I was talking about how I wanted to watch this porno with a guy with two dicks in it. This annoying guy who was playing with my friends Trivium and Plague (and me) was like, “Well if you’re watching something like that, then you must be gay.”
I was just like, “…I hope you don’t think I’m a boy.” And then he got to feel awkward for the rest of the campaign.
OH SPEAKING OF WHICH
THE LEFT 4 DEAD 2 DEMO
ADDICTING AS FUCK.
Holy hell, this game looks amazing. The cast’s pretty epic so far, Ellis is becoming a fast favorite for me. I thought he’d be my least favorite, with his accent and stuff, but he’s actually really funny. I also like how real he looks in the cutscenes. So far though, the new game looks awesome, the improvements in the gameplay, graphics, and AI are all looking promising so far, but it just doesn’t feel like the same game series as the first. Left 4 Dead 1 will always have a special place in my heart.
I also get to teach a class next Tuesday.
Our school really fucking sucks nowadays, and our middle schoolers in particular just cannot grasp the concept of project based learning. So, being an honors student and a veteran of the school, I have been nominated to teach the entire loud middle school pod pretty much how to learn. It’s gay, but I’m going to do it anyway since it’ll get me Junior Studies credit.
And, from there on, I can’t really remember anything else that happened over the past two weeks other than Halloween and stuff, but I just don’t feel like recapping those few days around Halloween because they were generally kind of shitty.
So yep. That’s about it. One of these days, I’ll get around to scanning some pictures and stuff and putting them on here. Eventually.
God, I just realized how fucking useless my posts are. xD

So after the shit-tastic weekend ended I finally thought I was done crying for Drac, I thought I'd finally come to terms with it all and being at school would help me move on.
Yet, just now, I just got done with an almost complete nervous breakdown with no warning. I wasn't listening to sad music or anything, I was finishing up my paper on Dark Energy, when BAM! Now I just got back from blowing my brains out through my nose, and figured that it's about time for an update.
So I pretty much hate life right now.
I'm not sure where this outburst came from, but I am just so fed up with like, everything right now. I just want to give up on my future and not give two shits about anything that's already happened. I am so angry with everything. Whenever people talk to me, the only thining I'm thinking is "Stop. Stop talking to me." I don't want to work, but I don't just want to sit around and do nothing, either. I can't get on XBox Live for more than a couple of minutes before I'm tired of it. I can't focus on my school work, but I cant even get distracted. I just sit there.
I'm tired, though.
Thats all I want to do, at all, all the time now. I just want to sleep. I'm so angry most of the time, but I just kind of sit around with my friends and try to let their insanity distract me. I laugh and stuff, then I come home and cry in random bursts.
I have to wait until my sister has long gone to sleep to take a shower and stuff, because I don't want her to hear me crying myself to sleep.
She just keeps telling me to get over it, he's gone, there's nothing else that can be done. I know that. I want to get over it, but I just can't. Every time I get too distracted for too long, this happens.
I am so tired of everything right now. Even doing easy shit is hard. I don't know what's wrong with me.
I hate myself for it, too. I'm being so dramatic over this whole thing and I know that I am, I know I need to get over it. I cant though, and it's making me sick. I feel so lame.
Also, my apostrophe button on my laptop is stuck. I have to pretty much fucking punch it to make it make just one damn '.
Music: Still Alive - Lisa Miskovsky (Mirror's Edge OST)
For some reason, this song was what triggered my restrained breakdown. It's not even a sad song.
Dracula
Author: Sabrina /
Our dog died today.
We've had him for as long as I can remember, since 1996, and he was always there in all of my childhood memories. He was the best dog I could have ever hoped for, and I don't know what our life would be like today if we had decided to go on a different walk that day. I wonder how different our life would have been if we hadn't gotten him.
All I know is that it would have been so much more boring, so much blander without him. He brought that childish, loving atmosphere to our home every day, even though most of the time it was covered up by his atmosphere of deadly smell. No, Drac wasn't a pretty dog, he wasn't smart and got into a lot of dumb situations, and he wasn't the most well behaved creature either, getting into whatever kind of mess or trouble he could while we were gone.
Still, Dracula was Dracula, and I still love him dearly. I'll always miss him.
We took him to the vet today after we saw how bad his legs were last night. He was finally done, he finally gave in to the pain. We knew he couldn't suffer anymore.
We actually, to put it bluntly, got to watch him die. We wanted to be right by his side the whole way through, petting him and praising him even though he lost his hearing months ago. He went out peacefully, with fresh-eaten Spam still in him, a sort of silly looking grin on his face as he was sedated. I watched him stop breathing.
It was heart breaking, but for the best. I know he's happier now than he was here at home, barely able to walk or stand and falling over everywhere. We did the right thing for him, even if it was probably one o fhte hardest things we have ever had to do as a family.
Rest in peace, Old Man.
AN UPDATE
Author: Sabrina /HAY GUISE GUESS WHAT I DO HAVE SWINE FLU.
SUPER SUPER COOL.
See my previous post for details, but I will tell you that although it did suck, it barely sucked moreso than any other flu.
I don't know why the whole world went into an uproar about it, the only people who died from it were those with poor health.
There was a little baby jumping spider on my laptop, and it was very cute. c:
Also, my Hunter cosplay pictures are in the previous post, for anyone I give this link to.
And AAAAH I have the worst muscle twitch in my arm right now. It's driving me up a wall.
Summary of a Week.
Author: Sabrina /So I am prety much going to, well, summarize what happened over last week on here.
Very few people read this, and even fewer actually care, but I like to kind of record this stuff.
So, I can't quite recall what happened the weekend after I put my "youtube" post up, but I do remember going to Chinatown and getting the most amazing Orange Chicken I've ever eaten. Seriously, Sam Wu's Barbecue has the best Orange Chicken ever; I'm never going to Panda Express again. I also got a nifty little chinese phone charm, so now my phone isn't quite as boring looking as it used to be. I also got a tiger-thing... I can't really eplain it. Once my sister gets an adapter for the new crazy camera she's using, she'll have to send me the pictures she took of it so I can post them up.
My tiger-thing is awesome.
The rest of the week was pretty shitty at school as usual, but Friday sucked major dick.
The only good thing that happened that day was Mr. Ruehle actually making coherent sense for once; Administration probably had a talk with him. But then things just kept getting worse in all of my classes, and when lunch finally rolled around Lina and I discovered that we had our lunch stolen. Not all of ti, but most of it had been taken; they even had the nerve to roll up our bag of Lays when they were done with them and shove it behind the computer at our desk. Real fucking cool.
Then, this really annoyting wigger-fuck dude who everyone hates, and I mean everyone, accused my sister of stealing stuff out of our lunchbox! What a fucking retard, and then he had the nerve to go on framing her with a bunch of fake bullshit! I was so pissed for the rest of the day, I swear to fucking god.
The only thing that made up for it was dying my hair the same day; It's this really cool maroon color that shines red in the sunlight. It's really badass, but it's washing out pretty fast because my hair hates dyes.
Then over this whole weekend, I somehoe managed to contract a spontaneous flu. Not the Swine Flu, but I definitely felt like I was dead. I had a sore throat on Saturday that I payed no mind to, but then I woke up on Sunday.
I was literally dead all Sunday. I didnt eat all day, and the longest I stayed awake was two hours before I'd relocate myself to another part of my house and fall asleep there. I felt really miserable all day, and my sister telling me to suck it up and that I was a drama queen didn't help any either. I've never felt worse in my life than I did yesterday; it was worse than when I got food poisoning, and I wasn't even throwing up. I was just like, bluh.
I feel better today though, my body's fighting it off and I hope I can go to school tomorrow and take my math test. I still feel really dizzy when I stand up though, and I've had this pounding headache all day. My body doesn't particularly like food now either, but I'm still incredibly glad that I'm not throwing up.
Also.
I told myself I wouldn't do it, but I am anyway.
I keep getting asked by my Live friends (as opposed to the dead ones - I have tons of those too) to show them my Hunter cosplay, but I told myself that I wouldn't put up pictures of that until I have at least one decent photo of what I look like on here first.
First impressions are everything, and now whenever I log on the handful of my friends I send this link to are going to be like, "Oh, it's that Hunter Girl." I don't like my name being associated casually with hoodlum ninja zombies.
I'm a happy one though. :D
I found this one on someone else's blog, putting underneath it "The best Hunter at AV 2009" I felt pretty cool.
I look like I'm grinning in this one for some reason; also found on someone else's AV '09 picture site.
Poor Zoey. xD
This last one has a bit of a story. I found this picture on another AV '09 blog post, and when I saw the first half of it I was like "It's the awesome Vegeta Cosplayer! Fuck yeah!" and then I scrolled down to the bottom of the image. The picture would have been so much cooler...
...If I wasn't laying in the immediate foreground.
I honestly have no idea why I was just laying there, in the middle of the Cashman Center, being dead (or possibly asleep?).
So yeah. I was sick as a dog yesterday, am getting better today, and will probably still be feeling kind of crappy tomorrow. I have so much to look forward to.
I can't even listen to too much music beause it hurts my ears, or look at the computer/TV for too long before it starts to burn my eyes. Being sick sucks.
-----------------------
Also, to Kaela,
Dude, your posts don't suck! But we do miss having you around to joke with and stuff. Lately, we've been talking and we're just like, "Damn, making fun of Kellie just isn't the same without Kaela around. Neither is making Dirty Hill jokes."
And if you do think your life is boring now, it's because YOU GREW UP WITHOUT US. D8<>
Just kidding, just kidding. xD
But yeah, we totally miss you and you need to contact us as soon as possible when you come back down to Vegas for another visit.
Also, your latest post inspired me to draw a little Orca for you; once I figure out my scanner all over again I'll put it up here.
I GOT ODDA TINGS TO BE DOIN'.
Youtube.
Author: Sabrina /Youtube is a place of many wondrous things, and many terrible things.
I had a conversation with my friend Kaela over the phone two nights ago about all of the shit I've found on Youtube, and here's the compilation I decided to make of al of the weird stuff I've found.
I amjority of it will be video game based, but expect a lot of random, weird, and awesome other things too.
First off, the best glitch ever.
I want this to seriously happen to my body when I die.
Second, and this is another gameplay bit froam a game from the F.E.A.R. franchise. This is seriously the most awesome thing ever, and you;ll know what I mean when you see it.
I want that guy to be my best friend. <3
Alright, this one has an explaination. This is c acommon sight in Morocco, because these goats are used to harvest a certain kind of nut within the little fruits of these trees. They'll eat the fruits and digest everything but the seed within it, which they shit out. Their shit's harvested, they get the nuts, clean them really fucking good, and make usable products from them such as baby oil
Ladies and gentleman, sixteen pygmy Moroccan goats that meow like kittens in a tree.
Okay, if you haven't seen this, this is probably the coolest stop-motion video ever made using Legos, as well as one of the coolest homages to old style (NES) video games ever.
1500 hours were soent making this wonderful 8-bit trip.
Back in the day, when anyone could work as a video game voice actor.
"Whats Umbrella?"
Really?
REALLY?
Onion News Network loves Sony.
I wish these guys actually worked for a news station that aired on TV.
Does anybody remember The Wiggles? Or thier song "Point you Fingers and Do the Twist"?
It just got worse.
This is the only reason I fear death; these things are probably waiting to drag me to hell.
Alpacas.
What. The. FUCK.
The Camra Flash Experiemtn pretty much explains itself in the video. This is the first awesome thing I've put on here.
I want to be a part of something like this someday.
THE TURKISH DANCERS
No homo.
Also, it gets really awesome once the gyu with the red shirt jumps in.
Goldeneye 007.
Video games sure were cool back in the day.
I love this guy. He's got a fucking LIST of insults.
"NICE CIRCLE JERK YOU FUCKING SOCCER FAGGOTS"
Elevators.
He is the master of them.
Alright, this is another one with an explaination. In foreign countries (this one is Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu), they sell livestock such as these chick en masse, not bothering to sort them by species. So, to tell the different types of chickens apart since they all look the same as chicks, they use safe vegetable dyes to change the chicks' colors to make them more easily identifiable.
It's still really cool looking though.
This.
Words cannot describe it.
...And I'm pretty sure that's about it for now. My computer's starting to go super slow between my tabs and whatnot, so I'll just conclude this post with something of equal oddity to the video seen above.
Actually, I don't have anything to say at the moment that's weirder than that.
Bye.
Ichthyophobia, Vietnamese Nazis, and SUPER FUN CALCULUS WITH MR. RUEHLE
Author: Sabrina /So first off, I wanted to say that my sister and our friend Xoli finally put the name to my biggest fear: Ichthyophobia.
If you already googled it before you read this, yes.
I am terrified of fish.
Not sharks or little fish, but if they're bigger than two feet they scare the shit out of me. I have night terrors all the time about fish.
MOVING ON NOW.
Okay, so yesterday was probably the most epic day of our school year for many reasons. The one that stood out to me the most, though, was a certain something this buttfuck annoying kid said. I'm not even joking when I say this kid is buttfuck annoying, every time he talks it's like you're getting a huge dick shoved up your ass with no lube.
He's pretty much the epitome of annoying 12 year old kids on XBox Live, but with like, ADHD and way worse. No joke, this is the only human being in existance who I would seriously kill without any regrets. Not like I would, but I swear to god.
When the zombie apocalypse happens, I call dibs on shooting his little zombiefuck face into a million peices with a shotgun.
So anyways, this kid is also really, really dumb, and just sits around all day and bugs the shit out of everyone. Early yesterday morning, he was doing his usual round of coming and trying to fit in with my group of weird friends, and somehow our ages got brought up in the conversation.
He says, "Wait, Jake, how old are you?" Jake is one of my friends, but he's more like a brother.
Jake, being fed up with him, decided to tease him a little bit by saying "I'm older than time itself. It's the truth, I fought in the Vietnam War and everything."
And this STUPID, RETARDED, ASSWIPE LITTLE DUMBFUCK REPLIES,
"Well, if you fought in the Vietnam War, show me the guns you used to kill the Nazis!"
DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRR.
DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUuuuuuuuuUUUUUUUUUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuRRRRRRRrr1>/
What has America's youth and education come to?
Moving on again to today, for another super-fun time with the math class no one understands!
If you want to read my original rant, it's in the post below.
Today, for not reason, my Algebra 2/Trigonometry teacher decided it would be an awesome job to try and teach us some of his COLLEGE 5 CALCULUS FOR 45 MINUTES OF A ONE HOUR CLASS.
It started as a semi-normal class, with review from yesterday's assignment and a brief look at today's lesson, which was ???
Just as he began to explain the lesson, he suddenly gets reminded of something he learned in College Calculus 5, and thought it would be a great idea to show us!
...for 45 minutes of the one hour class. I just repeated that.
So he whips out these insane graphing calculators and is like, "PRESS 123128765486374T523987641238647192418624713 BUTTONS AND YOU WILL HAVE A GRAPH, FIVE POINTS, A LINE, AND COORDINATES WHICH ARE ALL WRONG ACCORDING TO THE BOOK."
Yes, that's right, after the whole thing he showed us the wrong thing to do. We didn't even get the answer right.
Then, he says, "here's your assignment for today guys- oh class is over."
SO I got mindfucked again with a calculus level beyond my possible level of comprehension, and now I have to teach myself another lesson when I get home tonight.
I'm so tired...
Music: Preparation - Pandora Hearts OST
MATH CLASS WITH MR. RUEHLE IS SUPER FUN GUYS.
Author: Sabrina /Alright, so this is a rant I wrote up last Tuesday after an especially baffling and awkward math class with one of the new teachers who decided to come and fuck everything up in our school.
Unless you're epileptic, watch the video before completing the rant, as I put it there to purposely fit into the mood I'm trying to convey here.
----------
My name is Sabrina G. I am good at math.
TOO BAD MY MATH TEACHER PRACTICALLY SKULLFUCKED ME TODAY.
OH MY FUCKING GOD.
I have always been a good math person, usually at the top of my class (or close) with Honors. Last year, the year before, the year before that… I’ve always been good at math, with Algebra being my strong point.
BUT THIS CLASS IAM IN I SWEAR TO GOD--
It’s going to be the death of me! I’m in Algebra 2 Honors/Trigonometry Honors, which I would be able to handle with ease. If I read the book we’re given, the concepts are crystal clear to me, but I swear to god my teacher is mindraping me. He’s just so out there, it’s hard to describe.
He just rambled about completely irrelevant things! One second he’s on the Domain and range and graphing linear equations (Geometry review), then he’s talking about some machine with f(X) and Coors beer, then he just jumps back into the middle of his Domain and Range lecture!
Let me give you an example;
Domain
1
2
3
Range
4
6
8
He made a graph like that (except with circles, and the domain and range were next to each other) and basically explained the relationships between the domain and range. He drew a straight line across from the 1 to 4, 2 to 6, and 3 to 8, and told us why he went straight across and how that translated into coordinate pairs.
Then, he drew another line, this time from 1 to 6, and told us this was not possible to add this pair to the three already listed. Before we could ask why, he said,
“I know you guys are wondering why I can’t do this and what difference it makes…” Then he paused for a really long time, looked at us, and continued, “Well if I plug 2 into a calculator and square it, I would expect to get 4, and same with -2 because multiplying two negatives makes a positive. If I put 2 squared into the calculator and got 6, then I would have to throw the calculator out, wouldn’t I?”
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!
WHAT FUCKING RELEVANCE DOES THAT HAVE TO THE CURRENT SITUATION AT ALL?!
THAT WAS HIS FUCKING EXPLAINATION! THAT WAS IT!
He just laughed at himself and just started rambling again!
I mean, of course I knew what he was talking about, that’s kind of basic ( 2x2=4, -2x(-2)=4, sqrt4=2), but what did that have to do with him putting the line to the 6 from the 1?! I was trying so hard not to burst into laughter and tears at the same time. He then asked us if we had heard of the f(x) formula and how to plug it into the f(x)=3x-4 kind of equation, with f meaning to plug in the (x) as a real number into the equation on the other side of the = sign. Yeah, I got it once I read the book, but oh my god.
Then he starts giving us this random rant about Coors beer and draws this weird vat diagram that had to do in some way with the f(x)=3x-4 equation, but he drew like five lines into one side of it and listed the five main ingredients for beer and tells us that they have to make it Coors and not Bud and if they have an unstable “equation” for the beer than they might not sell as well.
Once again, what relevance does this actually have to what we are talking about? Like, what did that have to do with anything at all?
Because of his lack of explanations of rudimentary absolute values (which I understand now, but didn’t when we were quizzed because he sucks at explaining), I now have a C+ in a class I’m supposed to have an A+ in. I don’t want to have an A, I have to. I’ve had complete straight A’s in High School so far and this is what I’m relying on for scholarships since my family is poor. I am aiming to get into somewhere like Georgia Tech or something; I’m going to major in chemical engineering. I’m not letting one weird teacher drag me down.

Also, last Saturday was International Talk Like a Pirate day. I forgot to mention it.
There's a zombie on your lawn.
Author: Sabrina /Indeed.
And there's a baby cockroach underneath my laptop.
I'm sitting on the floor and I tried to kill it, but then it ran under there and I haven't seen it since.
So that birthday party yesterday was just a fuckload of fun. Of course, within fifteen minutes of my sister's and m arrival, the kids are already melting down (see my previous post on the full details of this party), wanting shit from each other and tripping one another with toy car doors as they run in nonstop circles around the house screaming their lungs off.
There was a baby who looked like a monkey that wouldn't stop throwing up that got dumped on Lina and I to handle, and Lina has this, like, morbid fear of throwing up. So after carrying it around a bit, Lina and I kind of put it on this blanket and played with it. It was so excited that it was flailing around in joy. Even though it looked like a monkey, it had this cuteness that just grew on you. I like babies, just not kids.
Babies kind of remind me of zombies, and that's why I actually think zombies are cute too. I'd actually prefer to have a zombie over a baby. I think the slow-dumb zombies from the Resident Evil are the cutest, because they're very baby-like. They're stupid, and it gives them this cuteness-factor, along with their determination. There's nothing more determined than a zombie, but they're only determined because they're too stupid to factor in anything other than being hungry.
Like babies, eh? But babies cry instead of groan when they're hungry, and they can actually register pain. Zombies are better than babies. I can get away for killing zombies when they wake me up in the middle of the night, but I don't think I could get away with killing a baby that woke me up in the middle of the night.
I just found a dead rollie-pollie in the bathroom. ):
I like rollie-pollies.

Birthdays
Author: Sabrina /I’m really tired today.
What’s strange about it is that last night I got more sleep than I have for the past three days, yet for some reason I’m the most tired today.
I have an idea of how I’m going to go about updating this blog; I’m not going to say what happened today, because I have a tendency to write my blog posts during U.S. History, but I’m going to post early and tell when happened yesterday. That’s because if I try to explain everything that happened within the same day, my posts turn into these huge walls of text because everything is still fresh in my mind. So, to avoid that (not like anybody really cares anyway xD), I’ll write the day’s events the next day in the morning so I can summarize it better.
So pretty much yesterday was spent pretending to be doing work and filling out my National Honors Society application. I didn’t fill out the first application to them because I didn’t want to do it (and I was too busy with HONORS WORK HURR DURR), but they and my school really want me to go into it and they won’t leave me alone until I do. After I left school, My mom, sister and I ran around to Toys R Us and Target to get a gift for some little kid’s birthday party that we were somewhat forced to go to.
“Oh, he’ll be just heartbroken if you girls don’t go!”
We have to go to that today, right after we get out of school. I’m already in a terribly bad mood, and it’s just the beginning of the day. Dealing with little kids screaming at a birthday party is the last way I want to spend my Friday afternoon right after I get out from a long day of school. I have to change my goddamn shirt in school before I go, too, because I’m wearing a Left 4 Dead shirt with that dismembered hand from the cover on it. I have to change into nicer clothes so that maybe the little boys’ friends’ parents will like us and we’ll have more jobs.
But I have to change out of my goddamn awesome Left 4 Dead shirt.
After we got the kid his gifts, we wet and ate at Romano’s Macaroni Grill, and I got this amazing fettuccine alfredo. No joke, it was really good. It was all really good, actually, because I had this amazing bread and calamari beforehand that I almost filled up on because it was so good. Calamari’s the shit.
I also didn’t do my Algebra homework. I was way too tired. So tired, in fact, that I didn’t even get on Xbox Live.
The one thing that’s keeping me going is the fact that I’m going to finally get on Curious again today! I swear to god, that little turd’s birthday party is fucking up all of my plans for this afternoon. I swear to god, I’ll have a post on there tonight. Just not as early as I thought I would because of the fucking party.
I won’t back out of it though, and I’ll really try to act decently and not get too mad at the kids.
I really hate kids though.
Also, pomegranate seeds are delicious.

Author: Sabrina /I woke up yesterday with a post-dislocated jaw.
I didn't even realize it had happened until I ate and my jaw started makign this disgusting grinding noise because it wasnt hooked in right. I stretched my mouth around for a while and then it popped back into place.
I'm glad it did, because the noise was right at my jaw joint underneath my left ear. Every time I chewed, it made this nasty noise right in my fucking eardrum.
If I had to edure it while I ate my AMAZING spam sandwich, I would've been really angry.
I really hate my school this year.
I have so much work at once that I had to take a Leave of Absence from Curious until tomorrow. I felt really bad about making my friends on there wait for my sorry ass to get done with my school work before we keep going in our little role play thread we've started. It really dissappointed me, because I like all of the people on there, they're all literate, and I'm actually pretty proud of the character I made to role play with.
I will post my rant about my math class on here once I find this one song to make a reactionface video to pretty much explain what I looked like during this class.
I also haven't gotten enough sleep for awhile now, about four hours per night thanks to homework. Yes, I do get on XBox Live for a couple of hours every day when I get home from school but more than anything it's to help relive some of the day's stress by killing some zombies. It really keeps me sane, especially being able to talk with all of my cool friends on there.
Even though I've never actually met them, they're really awesome. I always get a few laughs out of how crazy and rude and weird we all get on there. It's a great thing to come home to after my ridiculous school, even if half the time there are twelve year old screaming nonstop or people asking me if I'm actually a girl, or to get nasty with them or show them my boobs on a webcam (which I don't have).
I used to be really skittish and nervous about that kind of stuff, but now it just goes in one ear and out the other. I've been hit on enough times on there (and even in real life sometimes) to make my senses kind of numb about it. I'm getting pretty good at brushing people off. xD
I am writing this while I should be writing a reflection and bibliography for my U.S. History project, but I have another week to get that done, so it's not urgent. I could go back to Curious, but I'd hate to go back and then be like, "OH I GOT ORE HOMEWORK BYE FOR ANOTHER TWO DAYS AGAIN" because that'd just be retarded. I'll just keep myself from it and focus more on what I'm supposed to be doing (this not included) until I have some free time on Friday night.
OH WAIT
NEVERMIND.
I forgot that I'm booked for babysitting from the second I get out of school on Friday until like 10 p.m, then I'm booked again for most of Saturday afternoon until midnight. Joy joy, I just fucking love kids. They don't waste my time with their uselessness at all.
If any of their parentsever find this, then I won't have to worry about it anymore.
I mean, the kids are cute and everything and I know both of the families really well, but my weekend is supposed to be my weekend. We were going to have our friend Bonnie come over for a couple of days, because we haven't seen her since Anime Vegas.
But no, we have to fucking babysit. I guess I'm making money though, so it's a good thing, but I'm only making half of what I should because I'm tag-sitting with my sister.
That means that the parents divide the pay they would give to one babysitter in half for us.
So we onyl make half of what we should for taking care of their little brats.
If whoever is reading this hasn't noticed yet, I'm in a bad mood today because I have a lot of homework to do and I didn't get enough sleep.
One more thing I want to try before I go though is to post an image on here.
I'm used to BBCode, which is pretty much [img]insert image url here[/img] but I'm pretty sure this site uses embed or HTML or something.
Let's tryyyyy...
This!
If it works, then this image is the first corporate picture released from Okamiden: Chisaki Taiyou (lit. Okami Two: Little Sun), the long-awaited sequel to the PS2/Wii game Okami.
Okami is, by the way, my favorite game of all time. More than DMC, more and any Resident Evil, and surprisingly way more than Left 4 Dead. Okami took the cake for me, and I'm really excited for this DS sequel.
That's a wrap, and my rant shall come later~!

And so I start again.
Author: Sabrina /Aha, I finally got around to making this!
I had some spare time in school today after finishing a rough draft on the Algonquian tribes of modern-day Massachusetts, and I've been wanting to make a blog to correspond with my friend Kaela's blog. My sister should be making one soon sometime too...
Anyways, I have had two Livejournal accounts before this, but I rarely posted on them. When I did, they were usually just me gushing over new video games I got or talking about my current statues with my now ex-boyfriend. I'm pretty sure my last post there was, like, five months ago. I just figured I'd try to keep this one updated regularly by just writing down the little happenings in my nerdy life on a regular basis so I don't forget them, but I have a feeling there's going to be a lot of rants on here as well.
I also made this in hopes of finally taking some pictures of myself and uploading them on here, because a few of my closer XBox Live friends (that's you guys, Bimmer, Lewie, Plague, and Nickolai) have been asking me to get a Facebook or something so they can see what I look like.
I refuse to do so because Facebook and Myspace suck, so I figure that this'll be enough to get them to stop bugging me about it.
However, the only picture I have of myself a the moment is a picture I found on someone else's blog of me in my Hunter cosplay for Anime Vegas '09, and I'm not putting that up until people see what I look like normally. Looking like a hoodlum ninja zombie is not the best way to make first impressions.
Also, I have a rant that I wrote up earlier today regarding my ridiculous Algrbra2/Trigonometry Honors class that I'll probably post up here later tonight or tomorrow depending on how I feel after another day in that class.
But... yeah. I'm not quite sure what else to put in here, so I guess I'll call this first post a wrap!
Adios~!
AH CRAP
Okay, so now I'm editing this like an hour after I posted it because I just wanted to mention that I had a MOTHERFUCKING SPAM SANDWICH FOR LUNCH TODAY AND IT WAS DELICIOUS.
