My life in a nutshell:
I live for music, and yet somehow I'm not living for music -- if you somehow understand this, then you already know me halfway, but the other half won't be as easy, considering I, myself, am still trying to figure out who I am.
And I have no idea if I'm making one of the biggest mistakes in my life right now.
Merry Christmas to everyone! I hope you had a wonderful holiday. (: I, for one, had a good, okay, not so bad, could be better, Christmas. xD I had gotten a lot of things on my wish list, so that made me happy. Except, I still need to buy alllllll my presents for everyone, because seeing everyone go into a shopping rush makes me uninspired to shop. -_____- So I'm doing after Christmas shopping. xD Anyways, nothing special happened today. We just went down to Boston to eat with my grandparents (hence, the photo of the Boston skyline).
I've been busier than I had hoped for the past week or so. So many things to do, and not enough time! A lot of it to prepare for the upcoming cali trip, but now it's starting to settle down. Only to go back to chaos soon, because I'll be departing for California in a little more than twenty-four hours! (:
Tomorrow, I'm spending my time with Brenda & Meeshy, and possibly Jiaj. They're sleeping over before I leave, and we're going to have a "party" and eat thai food. :3 It's going to be so much fun, hahah. Then at 3:30AM, I'm leaving them to go to the high school, and then leave for Cali. So it'll be a while again before I post. xD
Everyone have a great new years! I know I will. (:
I have liked the same guy for every year of my high school life so far.
I'll like him for at least a couple of months, and then grow out of it,
only to come back to liking him again when I find another attractive thing about him.
It's funny, because I'm sure almost every girl in our group of friends has liked him at least once.
(I just counted six girls I know fersure that liked him, including me. Hah.)
He's such a dork, but that's what attracts me. ♥
HOLY SHUCKEN FIT.
I can distinctly hear a voice in my head, similar to those at the airports calling your flight number to board the plane: "Your flight will depart in twenty-five days to Los Angeles, California, on December 27, 2009 at 7:20AM." Wasn't it just yesterday that I posted an entry saying only fifty more days until departure? Where the hell did time run off to? It's crazy how fast time goes by.
Seriously. It's nucking futs.
Anyways, no need to read beyond this point. This is only for myself in the future, just in case I want to look back on it -- the itinerary for CA! I told myself that I would post this, but I have pushed it back and now I really do need to do this. Don't ask me why; I just need to.

Wow. That took a while. But forealz, so damn excited!
Wahhh, one of my closest friends, Michelle aka Meeshy (;D), is turning eighteen, and I need to think of something special for her birthday. We're going out to Boston for the day with some other close friends, but I don't know what to do for her birthday present. |: I want to do something creative and memorable for her, but I can't think of many ideas. xD We have a close group of four friends -- me, her, my sister, and another friend, Brenda. For Brenda's 18th birthday back in July, us three made a scrapbook, and each filled out a page of it, putting pictures, and writing a nice little note, leaving the rest of the book to be finished by her as she desires. And then we each got her individual gifts. It wasn't anything great, but it was a special moment for all of us, because we put our time into making it. xD
Now that it's Meeshy's birthday, I also want to do something special. The only idea I can think of is using a star jar, and putting some memories on little notes in there, and little stars too. I was thinking about giving her some straws so that she could make some stars too, and also each of us get individual gifts, but I don't know if that will be good enough? ;ALKJD;FKLAJSDKLJF RAWR. I DON'T KNOW. I LACK THE CREATIVE JUICES NOWADAYS. If you have any more gift suggestions, please let me know! Hahah.
Aaaaaand, my first SATs are this Saturday. I'm kind of nervous, and I haven't started studying yet. T: Damn my procrastination. Must. Study. Soon! I'm so scared I'm going to do poorly on it, and my parents will be disappointed in me. I hate it when people are disappointed in me.

I admire this person. It's near the end of 2009, and only now am I trying to be a better person. I've donated money to charities and bought a hat & gloves for a little girl. It makes me feel good about myself that I am helping someone. (:
