Summer's end...

Okay, so not much happened today or yesterday =(

All I did pretty much was work on my science project.

We are supposed to go out to eat later today, but I doubt we're going xD

There's just too much going on right now. -sigh-

Ummm.... on a further note I am getting a spotted kougra on the 1st =D

I don't really find that all important, but neopets is pretty much my third life.

I am jsut getting ready for school, on the 2nd.

I REALLY don't want summer to end.

Now I have to focus on school work -ick- xP

I talked with my dad about taking some tennis lessons before I join the school's varsity girls tennis team.

Usually freshman don't get picked onto the team unless they are REALLY good.

I am hoping to get some practice before the spring tryouts for the team.

Mmm... thats pretty much it.

xD

I'll type more tomorrow.

Highschool run

Hai. =D

I know I haven't updated for 3 days xD

So I PROMISE you that this post is going to be really super, duper long =D

Okay.... so on Tuesday I pretty much did nothing. - -; Um.... yeah I can't really remember what I did now. So sorry xP But yeah... um... I am pretty sure whatever I did had to do with neopets. Haha xD I am addicted. Um... oh I forgot to mention on Sunday's post that it was Llama's birthday. She didn't celebrate it with her friends or anything though. Which was not cool because I didn't get a chance to wish her happy birthday. Plus her cell phone wasn't turned on and I found out later on that she had left her cell phone at the dad's place for about 2 weeks. Heh, she's forgetful like that. SO to make it up, I bought her a birthday card. It meows =3 I should have made a video, but I didn't have time and my camera ate up the batteries.... yet again. Even when I changed them about two days ago. I hate my camera. Seriously need to get a new one. Anyways, since Llama wasn't answering her calls (called her about 20 times) I decided to wait and give her card to her on Thursday (which is today xP). You might be wondering why on Thursday, but I am getting to that xP

Wednesday.... hm... I pretty much did the same thing that I did on Tuesday. Found out later that I had to go to school on Thursday for some kind of meetingish thing. I was happy though because now I don't have to worry about getting lost in the highschool. -shudders- I'd also be able to meet all of my friends and figure out what classes we have together (which we have already done). So I just hung out on neopets a little then watched some Saved by the Bell episodes xD It's a good show. And then went to bed. Speaking of neopets, I am currently working on some game avatars. =D And also saving up for a royal pb for Akal. I am only 500k away from buying one. Ugh.. but now I have to try not spend it, which is going to be REALLY hard for me. Haha xD Just want that Royal pb bad. -rawr-

All the action happened today. It was a pretty fun day actually; tragically filled with some saddness atleast on my end. But I'll get to that later. So I had to wake up today at around 8:00 - -; I was too sleepy, but I made it to school around 9:30. It was a meeting only for students, so I had to say goodbye to my mommy -sniffles- xD Anyways, I had the hardest time finding the auditorium, so I just followed a couple of people. Finally made it into the auditorium. But because I came late, I had to sit in the back and pathetically watch my friends in the front. We had to listen to a boring speech and all. -yawn- Until the school's SCA came in. They were LOUD and all of them were seniors which makes them even worse. My ears were pretty much gone by the time I came out of that auditorium. They made everyone in the room stand up and sing a song about turkeys while dancing. It was the stupidest thing ever. I got lucky and didn't do it since I was in the back. I remember when all the 8th graders got to go visit the highschool they were going into next year, the SCA made us sing and dance a song about a flying squirrel or something - - I think I am going to have such a lovely time at this new school.

Turns out my homeroom teacher was my band teacher, so I finally had something good to be happy about. She's pretty nice. And FINALLY after 3 years I don't have the same homeroom as this idiot boy. And thankfully my locker isn't besides him anymore either. So my homeroom teacher took us to our lockers to check them out. Mine was #125. And it wouldn't open.... I am so going to be late to class when school starts.

My first class was Band, so I had to go back to homeroom. My friends were all in there except Julie who is too good for regular band that she gets to join a higher band class.

Then I had to go to Pre AP Geography. Ewww... hate that class. None of my friends are in there so I am a loner -sniffle-. I wonder how some of the kids got into that class because most of them are idiots. Plus the teacher said that the class is going to be the hardest of all. But I strongly don't think so. I don't think Pre AP Geography can beat the hardness of Honors Biology or Algebra 2 Trignometry. D:

After Geography it's off to French. I had to go outside into the trailers for this class. And to make matters worse it was on the other side of the school from Geography. not many friends in French either, all my other friends took Spanish. But the French teacher scheduled a trip to France around spring time which I think would be fun^^ I think the Spainish students are going to Spain xD

Algebra 2 Trignometry ends the A day. There were only 3 people other than me in the class. But one of my best friends is in the class with me so I am happy. The rest of the kids are going to be sophmores or juniors. Maybe even seniors, idk.

The morning of my B days start with English. I don't like that class at all. It's small and icky. Plus none of my friends are in it either, except for Carol.

After English it's Flex Period. Flex is kind of like study hall, well not really. But it's based upon that idea. I just have no idea how to explain Flex Period to you guys as for I don't even understand it. So I won't even try.

I have to go to Biology after Flex Period. The only freshman in my Biology class are me, Syd and Emily. Which is good, because the trio once again unites^^ The rest of the people are sophmores/juniors/seniors. The biology teacher scares me. She isn't cool at all. If you read my post about the science project I had to do over the summer you and me are on the same track. Emily says that we got the owrst teacher for biology because she's harsh and everything. I don't think she likes either of us, but it doesn't matter since it's only going to be us and the rest of the peeps.

I had the HARDEST time finding the P.E. room. Normally P.E. would be in a gym, but I had to actually go to a room for this class. -ugh- It took me a while to find it, but I finally did. None of my friends were in this class either.

After checking out are classes, we got to go to the cafeteria where we ate some pizza. The SCA made us play this really dumb game. They treated all of us like babies. Ewww... I hate people who do that. And then I went home. So, that was pretty much my morning.

My afternoon was a little saddening. I had to go to the doctor because my mom wanted to know why I wasn't growing. I am not even 5 feet yet and I am going to highschool. The doctor said that I probably wasn't going to grow much either that or I am a late bloomer. So now I have to get a blood test taken to see if I am ever going to grow taller or not. And my mom wants me to take this x-ray of my hand bone as well to check my growthness in the next few years. I am either not going to grow or I am going to grow, but at a slower pace then others. I am determined to grow about 6 feet by the time I get out of highschool. And NOTHING is going to stop me from becoming that tall, NOTHING.

Ugh.... off to shopping

All I did today was go to my new high school D:

I had to get some library books for my over-summer project.

After I got those, I came home and read a good 1 hour of the books I got xD

They were all on solar energy D:

It was super boring....

I spent some time on neopets and went onto jellyneo.

Jellyneo had a new site event so I signed up for it.

It's called Where are the JN Staffers?!?!

Yeah, spent a good time on that... still need to rescue 18 more staffers D:

Then my mom took me to the mall so we can buy some clothes for school.

She wanted me to wear all those fancy disgusting stuff, but I am more into those simple shirts.

You know, the ones that don't have any design on them and are just a plain, simple color?

So after a bit of complication with my mom, I bought 3 Aeropostale shirts and one of their jackets.

I REALLY like the shirts for boys in Aeropostale. But my mom won't let me get them because they aren't for girls. D:

I mean she has this fit even if I am looking at boys clothes.

Haha xD

When I grow up, I am definately going to wear those shirts.

Cats have 4 ears now?!?!

Today was pretty simple.

I finished to layout for my research project write-up.

Then I was on neopets and after that I watched TV.

Pretty easy going^^

I also came upon this page about a cat with 4 ears!

It was SO cool.

And the cat is très adorable^^

Here's the picture:

Awww... his name is Yoda.

Isn't that cute?

The end.

Today was boring.

The end.

The Piano Versions

I woke up today humming From Yesterday by 30 Seconds to Mars^^ So I went to youtube to listen to it. Then I had a brilliant idea, what if I could play it on the piano? I checked out some of the piano versions of From Yesterday. This on is above and beyond:

Yeah, it's beautiful^^ I wanted to check out some other songs as well. I came across Viva La Vida and got the sheet music for it =D Yay! Now i have something to do. I also found a really good piano version of Never Too Late by Three Days Grace. Sadly there isn't any sheet music for it D: Anyways, Here it is:

Well, thats it xD I pretty much did this all day.

Click Five --->

While I was 'attemting' to clean out my room (well not really xD) I found a Click Five CD. I had forgotten about it and never opened it xD My best friend Kat had given it to me because she had accidentally bought another copy of the same CD. I really didn't look at it because Click Five sounded like a dumb band to me and I wasn't very interested in them anyways. That happened about 2 or 3 years ago xP
So, today I happened to stumble upon the CD and having nothing to do, I listened to it. Click Five is an amazing band. All their songs are great. They aren't like other bands where they put like 2 or 3 singles in a CD and then all the rest of the songs are trash. Every song on the CD was good. =D

My favourite song from them are Resign and Pop Princess. None of those songs have a music video. But Jenny is equally amazing^^

These guys really know how to play =D

The average neopian day =D

I didn't do much today except neopets. I was on the AC skimming the boards to see if I could get lent an avatar pet. But no one wanted to lend me -sniffles- so I tried my luck with the pound surfing. Sometimes I come across a good pet a two and I trade them for a painted kougra of some sort. Anyways, I came across a pink pet =D (what luck!) and I actually adopted him. It was such surprise too. I usually miss all the good pets in the pound.

About 2 minutes after I get a neomail saying that I interrupted a lend. They wanted the pink pet back, but being the heart-warming person that I am, I said no. I got the pet fairly and there is no reason whatsoever that I should give him back to the previous owner. The person begged, but I kept declining until she offered to trade one of her pets for the pink pet back. I said only if you can somehow manage to get a custom painted kougra then I'll trade. She agreed to that and told me all the colors she could buy. But none of them were appealing and I had already gotten an offer of a pink kougra onto the pet. I told her no, and then some the people she was lending to said they would trade get a painted kougra for me if I would give the pet back. I said fine, but only for a Desert PB. The person agreed to it.

While I was talking with that person, the previous owner neomails me saying that the pet means a lot to her and all that talk xP

The person that made me an offer of a Desert Kougra soon declined saying the previous owner is going to quit neopets. D: How sad. I found it pretty funny actually. But hey, I am still keeping the pet. The pound is a fair game, so the pet is rightfully mine. =)

Let me quote all the neomails for you guys, it'll be easier to under stand =D

-xxx-

First neomail: "I was trying to transfer Jaymes to someone, but they didn't get her fast enough. Can you please pound again at a certain time? Thanks."

My reply: "Sorry, but I am keeping the pet."

1st neomailer's reply: "Do you need proof or anything? Please, I understand that you would like her, but do you want another one of my pets? Any of my other pets? Can you maybe get the avatar and then give her back? Please?"

My reply: "I won't trade Jaymes unless you have a painted kougra. Which is exactly what I am planning to do with Jaymes once I get the avatar. Sorry, but Jaymes is my pet now."

1st neomailer's reply: "I will paint a kougra for you! Please don't trade her."

My reply: "Hmm... alright. Although I got an offer from someone that is willing to trade Jaymes for a pink pet. Can you beat that?"

1st neomailer's reply: "Would you like a starry, split, speckled, christmas, or glowing kougra? that's all i have enough for. I also have a bunch of avi items i could lend to you. Please?"

My reply: "I am sorry but none of those offers beat a custom pink pet that I got offered for. Unless you have a better offer, I won't be trading Jaymes to you."

1st neomailer's reply: "How about my Koi? Or Island tuskaninny? Please?"

My reply: "No. I am sorry. But I'll compromise with you. If you can offer me a custom desert pet then I will trade Jaymes to you. If not then I'll just accept the offer of a custom pink pet."

1st neomailer's reply: "I only have 200k. I guess I can't. =( Thanks for trying to compromise though. Please make sure that you're giving Jaymes to a good owner though. That's all I ask."

My reply: "I can promise you that. I am not that heartless. I just want you to learn a lesson about what can happen to pets in the pound. If you really cared for him, you'd have used the transfer option."

1st neomailer's reply: "I did care for HER. And I wanted to lend people, but nobody, not even I, had transfer. Thanks for the "lesson.""

My reply: "You're welcome. This is life and you've just got to learn how to bounce back."

1st neomailer's reply: "Whatever. This is why most people can't trust any other people in neopia."

My reply: "No. This is why people should understand that when you pound a pet, you are risking losing it."

And she didn't reply back.

2nd neomail: "Hello, we were doing a chain pound with your new Pink tuskanninny and we woudl really appreciate it if the owner, flowerdaisy329 could have her back."

My reply: "I already told flowerdaisy that I will be keeping the pet. Sorry."

2nd neomailer's reply: "Princeaqua.
If I may address you as that.
I don't think you understand.
"It's not your fault. I'm just really mad because she won't give me Jaymes back. He was my favorite pet, I'm even offering her any of my other pets. I'm sorry you didn't get to get the avatar.
-Flowerdaisy wrote that. Wouldn't you be upset if your prized neopet went intot he pound and somebody got him? "

My reply: "Sorry, but no."

3rd neomail: "Look, I know you already told my friend you werent going to give Jaymes2203 back, but pleaseee pleaseee do. Lilly was transfering him to me for the avvie. Do you want proof? We can provide screenies. I know the pound is a fair game, but its going to be all my fault if I cant get Jaymes back."

My reply: "Sorry, but no."

3rd neomailer's reply: "Hey. Do you have the Quadrupus avatar?"

My reply: "No"

3rd neomailer's reply: "Would you like the Quadrupus avatar?"

My reply: "Yes. But I know what you are going to say, and it's going to be a no. I am not going to trade Jaymes for your quad. Instead I am planning to trade him for a painted kougra I don't have."

3rd neomailer's reply: "Darn. Haha.
Well, what painted kougra do you need?"

My reply: "A desert kougra. But I have another offer of a pink kougra on Jaymes. So if I don't get any better offers thean a pink kougra I'll be trading Jaymes."

3rd neomailer's reply: "Kay. Can you hold the offer on Jaymes for a week, at the most for me please? I need to find a Desert PB. xD"

My reply: "Alright. If you do get the desert pb, I'll trade. Please understand that I've made a kougra aleady waiting to be painted desert, so you'll have to send the paintbrush over to me instead. And hopefully you have all understood that pound lending is scary, so I'll transfer, in September, Jaymes to the previous owner."

3rd neomailer's reply: "Okay.
Pound isnt scary."

My reply: "Alright. Then it's a deal."

3rd neomailer's reply: "Nevermind.
Shes quitting Neopets.
Deals off."

So, I trot off and go check up the previous owner's lookup here is what it said: "QUITTING NEO! WHY? BECAUSE ALTHOUGH THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WHO CAN BE TRUSTED, THERE'S SOME WHO THINK THAT THEY GIVE LESSONS, WHEN THE ONLY LESSON THEY GIVE IS THAT NOBODY IN NEOPIA SHOULD BE TRUSTED. THANK YOU AQUA!"

That made me ROFL xD So I neomail her saying this:

" QUITTING NEO! WHY? BECAUSE ALTHOUGH THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WHO CAN BE TRUSTED, THERE'S SOME WHO THINK THAT THEY GIVE LESSONS, WHEN THE ONLY LESSON THEY GIVE IS THAT NOBODY IN NEOPIA SHOULD BE TRUSTED. THANK YOU AQUA!
What I said to her in the neomail: You're welcome! "

She replys with: "It's good to see that somebody is happy. I'm sure glad I've made your day perfect."

-xxx-

This was just such an amazing experience I just HAD to put it on my blog. Made me laugh a lot. People on neopets need to understand that if they love a pet so much they wouldn't be heart-less enough to pound it even if it can get you an avatar.

-sigh-

When are people going to learn?

So, anyways, I shall be enjoying my new avatar ^^

Mr. Pengu

Yeah, you heard me! Penguin Palooza! xD

This here is my penguin, Mr. Pengu (unique, huh?) and he's a hat. Yes a hat. I wear him on my head pretty much everyday just for the fun of it. Got him at Hershey Park. =3

Um... thats it xP Don't really have anything to update. D:

---> Better mood???

I am in a slightly better mood today. Both my parents are gone and left me home so I have the whole house to myself and can pretty much do whatever I want xD

So the first thing I did today was check the new rankings for tennis. It's true... Roger Federer is #2 now.... Rafa Nadal is #1. Congrats to him, but I still think Roger is a way better player. Rafa just uses his strength and in a couple of years it's going to be gone. I spent some time on neopets, then completed my earth science project research for the day. After that I ate some lunch, called my friends who didn't pick up - -

So I waited for them to call back and tried to turn on the tv, but the cable was gone or something was wrong with it so I gave that up. Messed around on the computer and checked my emails and what not.

I finally got a call back from the sea horse, but the llama hasn't called back yet. I've been meaning to talk the them both about next year's scheduling.

I only have one class with the sea horse and thats band. D:
Ahh... well I guess thats better than nothing. I got a call from Syd saying she saw our band teacher and said hi to him. She said he has longer hair... which I can't picture him in at all. I guess people change. Syd also told me she doesn't have any classes with the llama or Julie. Which is heartbreaking....

So thats pretty much how my day's been so far xD Nothing exciting yet!

The boringest day of my life D:

Ugh... today was super boring. I didn't even want to update at all because of it. D: So today all I did was work, work and work. I have this stupid earth science project I have to do OVER SUMMER BREAK because I am skipping earth science and taking biology this year. And since I am skipping earth science, I have to pay up for it by doing a freaking project.

My other friends Syd and Llama are taking biology this year today. Except Llama's teacher is different than mine and Syd's so she doesn't have to do the project over summer break. Instead, she'll be relaxing and enjoying the break while we work on our dumb projects. I wish my teacher could seriously get a brain and think about what she is doing. She's ruining our vacation with school work. You know, that should be agaisnt the law. It really should. Kids need to have some time off, or they'll explode. Well, it isn't just kids, it's everyone. Everyone needs a break no matter what. The stress will get to each and everyone of us until we all go KA-BOOM.

You see, I am in SUCH A GREAT MOOD today! =D
(sarcasm for all you people who a gullible)

So, my dad took it into consideration that I should be researching more about my topic. So he made me read a book called Electrical and Electronic Principles and Technology. How utterly boring.

It took me a good 1 hour to finish 5 chapters. I just skimmed the pages. Didn't understand a word I was reading.

After that I spent my time trying to play neopets, but my dad kept interupting with all these new ideas that popped into his head about the project and he chose te exact time I was trying to do something else. So I stopped and got off the computer.

I wish he could understand that I really don't care much about the project. If it were to my liking, like a project to do with clouds, leaves, plants, animals and etc... I might take an interest into it. But no. The project just had to be about Photovoltaic cells. Ick. -sticks tongue-

I really don't mind learning about a new topic at all, but I never even had a say to this project. D: He just picked out what to do and went along with it. It's actually HIS idea not mine. Never agreed to it or disagreed. But I would have disagreed in a blink if I had any say.

It doesn't matter now anyways. What's done is done. Next time a project comes along I'll work on it alone without any help. And hopefully it may be to my liking.

Today wasn't a totally boring day. I got some time to read a new book I bought called First Test by Tamora Pierce. Finished it as well at night. Now I am hoping to buy the second book, Page. Maybe tomorrow will be better. :/

My Playlist

So, I have no idea what to type about today. My day was utterly boring. We decided not to go to the fair today either. Well... we didn't decide, I think my parents forgot again. But I didn't really want to go anyways.

Um... so after 30 minutes of thinking, I decided to show you guys my top 25 songs. They aren't in any order of any sort. So #1 on my playlist isn't my favourite song of all time. Clicky on the itunes picture to take a look at some of my favourite songs --->

So, my favourite song of all time is Animal I Have Become by Three Days Grace. It's so moving, and it shows the good and bad side of people, plus the guitar solo is awesome =D
Second favourite song is Never Too Late by Three Days Grace. The song tells others not to give up no matter what kind of situation you're in. I think this is Three Days Grace's most moving song ever. But thats my opinion.
Third fav. is I Hate Everything About You by Three Days Grace. Love how they came up with the lyrics. Such a sad song. =(
4th is Just Like You by Three Days Grace. Wow... so much power in one song. It really shows true feelings.
5th is Home by Three Days Grace (are you getting the hint that Three Days Grace is my ultimate favourite band of all time? xP)
6th is Pain by Three Days Grace. I am just left left -speechless- after I hear this.
Riot by Three Days Grace is my #7 song on the list. He sounds pretty angry in this one. I wonder what motivated him to write this song?
8th is The Diary of Jane by Breaking Benjamin. I have no idea whatsoever what this song is about or what it means, but I can listen to this song nonstop for days.
9th is Capricorn (A Brand New Name) by 30 Seconds to Mars. I have no idea what the song means or what it's about, but it just sounds so good. My favourite song from 30 Seconds to Mars.
Then it's A Beautiful Lie by 30 Seconds to Mars. This song is sooooo great. Poor polar bears... -sniffles- if we don't do something they are all going to die.
The Kill by 30 Seconds to Mars is 11th in this list. I love how he screams in the end.
The Fantasy is 12th. I don't how to say this, but this song talks about our imagination and to live it to the fullest because one day you may not be able to imagine at all again.
Oblivion by 30 Seconds to Mars is 13th. I am not sure what this song is about either D: But it sure sounds good =D
14th is Untouched by The Veronicas. It just has such a good beat and the melody is beautiful. Plus the sisters both have such pretty voices.
And last, but not least for 15th on the list is Viva La Vida by Coldplay. I just love how in the song it brings you back to the olden times where kings used to reign and there were knights in shining armor. The song is amazing, too good to be true. Although the music video just scares me to death. o_0

Davinci

I hope you all know that Davinci was my cat. I think I explained that in a previous post. So instead of all my cloud pictures, I decided it would be cooler if I posted Davinci's pictures for you guys. It took a while trying to find them on my camera, but I think I got them all.

I didn't want to post all my cloud pictures because there are over 200 and I really don't have the time to upload them onto my computer xD If you're wondering what my cat is doing in that picture, it was for my birthday party. I thought he looked extremely cute with the birthday hat on. I don't think he liked it very much. Haha xD

He looks a bit annoyed in the picture, but he truely was the most perfect cat anyone could possibly want. He was extremely nice and always smelled like a mother cat. (If you didn't know he was a boy, at first glance you'd probably think he was a she-cat ready to kit. Yeah... he was pretty fat, but in a good way). He was pretty handsome and was 2 and a half when he died.

He had the softest tummy ever. I used to use him as a pillow, he didn't mind it at all. And when I had pizza, he'd lick all the pizza sauce from my fingers. He was crazzzzyyyyyyyy. xP

Haha xD Doesn't he look marvelous in the picture? ----------------------------------->

He was very sweet and always was welcome to a back rub or some cuddle time. He usually cuddled with my mom instead of me. I think I scared him when I accidentally rolled over him while I was sleeping. Since then he never came to sleep with me.

I forgot to mention, he killed 2 mice, 1 snake, and 1 bird in his lifetime. For a fat cat, thats actually a good record. I remember how he jumped on the bird and squished it to death with his weight. Poor birdy. D: He died in the paws of a cat. I played the bird a song on the piano for his funeral. I can't remember what happened to the bird though. I think he was either eaten by my cat or my dad threw him away. Poor, poor birdy.....

Okay, enough talk now. Here are all the pictures I took of my cat on the camera. I have more on my cell phone, but I can't figure out how to connect it to my computer. So for now, this is it. Click the pictures to see the full picture in view and you can hover over each picture to read what the picture is about. =3

Enjoy the pictures^^

Oh... and I forgot to mention that I didn't go to the fair today. D: Instead we went out to eat. -yum-

Boredom

Meowness.

K.

So right now I am REALLY bored.

We're supposed to go to the fair in about 30 minutes, but I think my parents forgot D:

I am not sad about it though because I really didn't want to go

(well... only for the cotton candy xP)

I know I promised you guys yesterday for those cloud pictures.

Right now I am importing them from my camera.

Mind you, there are 215 photos on my camera right now.

It's going to take a while xP

Uh... my camera is beeping because it's battery is gone. D:

It's annoying me because I can't think straight with all that beeping.

It's all good now^^

I stuffed my camera in my drawer.

Currently I've imported 111 pictures from my camera onto my computer.

I promise to post with the pictures later in the day.

And write a longer post xD

XXIX Olympics - Tennis

So I just found out that Roger Federer was beaten by James Blake today. D:

I thought his loss deserved another update for today.

You can scratch out what I said in my first post.

-pokes August 12th-

But hey he's young and everyone makes mistakes.

Not to mention though he's made millions of mistakes this year.

He lost twice this year to Nadal, I think?

Didn't count.

I still think he deserves the gold medal.

He makes tennis look so easy that even a caveman can do it.

Ha xD

Yeah, but think about what it's like to go out there and play with all those people watching you?

I would freak if I was him.

I mean I single mistake would be a crusher for me.

I don't know how any of the tennis players can stand it.

It just shows that you need to be confident about what you're doing and give it everything you've got.

Even if you lose.

So now that I've described the feeling of playing tennis out in the open, I just can't wait to play it.

I mean the surge of excitement and everything else that comes with the tennis package is worth everything even if I'd have to play with millions of people watching me.

Did I forget to mention that the new rankings are going to be posted on August 18th?

4 more days.

Even if Roger comes 2 best in the world he'll be back to 1st in no time. =D

I just know it.

So even if Roger is #1 in the world or #80 he should know that he'll still be my favourite tennis player of all time! =3

The Forge of Vulcan

Okie, here is another update. So in my previous post I was talking about my school band.

Anyways, I stumbled onto a video of my band playing The Forge of Vulcan on youtube.

Turns out one of the kids recorded us playing.

Here's our video:

Don't we sound good? xP

We played The Forge of Vulcan in one of our spring concerts I think. I can't remember now.

If you look closely you can see Syd. She's the tallest one xP And then you can see Julie holding the baboon. Sarah's somewhere in the first row (she's a flutist). I am in the wayyyy back where no one can see me. Yeah, I am hiding behind Syd. There's also Ryan holding his sax and Amanda our clarinet section leader. =D

I'd name more, but I can't make out anyone else D:

New lay!

Finally finished the new blog layout. Took me about 2 - 3 hours to finish it. It would have taken me longer if I hadn't used the base template on the origional layout I had up. The color scheme is only aqua and white (thats my favourite color combo ^^), but it looks exceptionally nice. The kitty outline took me an hour to finish. It would have been sooner except I was using MS Paint. This was my first time pixalizing a layout (does it look good?). I thought the moon and the stars would make a nice detail addition.

A cat, some stars and a moon. Wouldn't that make a beautiful children story?

The layout was inspired by my very own cat, Davinci, who died on January 9th 2008. He had liver cancer D: and died at the age of 2. Maybe I can get a good picture of him to post on here, but it might take a while since I would have to transfer my pics from my cell phone to my computer and what not.

Oh! And I can also post the billions of cloud pictures I took with my camera

Clouds are my favourite things to take pictures of. They are just so fluffy^^ And they come in millions of different shapes.

So today I found out that we are going to a fair tomorrow. I hope it'll be fun and worthwhile. I am not sure if I am taking any of my friends with me, I probably won't since it's too short of a notice.

Maybe there will be cotton candy. -dreams-

Yum.... now i really can't wait to go to the fair tomorrow. =D

I was thinking about everything that happened last year in middle school. Mostly in band class, which was so much fun. I had probably the two best music teachers in the world. Although we came in 4th place in the Hershey Park tournament. Ahh... but it was alright.

I was surprised that we weren't yelled. It usually doesn't take much to make my teachers angry. But they are really fun and act like kids sometimes.

So anyways, about those middle school memories.... I really don't know how these nicknames came up, but it was all in band class.

-shudders-

I remember Julie was the first one to get a nickname and then Syd. Anyways, Syd was the chicken, Julie was the baboon, Sarah was the cow and I was the millipede. D:

Yes a millipede. I wasn't even an animal.

Yeah, but Julie got her nickname because she plays the bassoon in band class and while my teacher was directing he accidentally called her a baboon and so the name stuck. (Get it, bassoon and baboon?)

I really can't remember how Syd got her nickname, but I'll try and see if it comes back to me while I am typing this up. This all happened in Resource, whilst I wasn't there. I think I was making up a science test I missed, but Julie told me what happened later on.

So Syd and Julie come down from Spectrum and they went to talk with our music teachers. Yeah and then Julie says something funny about Syd and Syd runs away somewhere. Then our music teacher was like "Puck, puck, chicken, puck, puck" and thats how Syd got her nickname.

You kinda had to be there to get it. I don't even think anyone can understand what I am typing right now xD

Um.... can't remember how Sarah was nickknamed cow. I think it just came up one day. And then Syd, Julie and Sarah came up with the nickname millipede in P.E. We were running around in circles in the gym while that happened xP

The story isn't finished yet! xP

So after a while the nicknames kind of stuck and then Solo Ensemble came up. So Sarah, Julie, Syd and me became a quartet. We played this really old piece. xD But anyways, we got a gold medal for our performance in Solo Ensemble. So in band our teachers were going over the schedule of what peices we are going to play for our concert when they announced (oh so suddenly) that 2 ensembles that played in Solo Ensemble are going to be playing in the concert.

They picked my quartet groupie =D

Yeah, and then everyone started calling us the Animal Quartet. Although technically I am an insect, but who's going to notice?

The lovely art of anime

I was re-reading yesterday's post. Somethings in the post were exaggerated; not too much, but a little. Ehh.. I have a teen mind and am doing what teenagers do best: exaggerate. It's funny how something happens and your mind takes it another way. Or your mind is so fixed on the way you want to believe something has happened that it changes your view points and the way you encounter the 'happening'. I am not going to change anything from my previous post since it truely is what I think. =3

So, I am making my 100th attempt to draw anime, which I completely fail at. D:

I just can't draw the face or the eyes. I don't understand how people can make such beautiful anime pictures. They just take my breath away when I look at them. I've tried almost every guide there is on deviantart, but I still can't get it. I am so used to the whole idea of 'practice makes perfect' that I thought after drawing things over again and again you would get the hang of it. I was wrong. Drawing comes from the heart and mind, not from practice.

I have no imagination at all, so I fail at drawing or coming up with ideas. I love art. It's a way to express yourself, but I really can't find a way to express myself. It's quite sad.


I had this wonderful character design for my neopet, Storm (if you want to look me up on neopets my username is princeaqua). I got the idea from reading the manga, Loveless. I want Storm to look like the character Seimei Ayoagi. Seimei just has that mysterious kind of feeling and he isn't afraid to make mistakes. Loveless is beautifully drawn and has a spectacular plot. Hopefully I can master Seimei's look and personality for Storm (and then I will have to learn how to color on photoshop... ick xP).

Loveless is an interesting manga. Seimei seems to be the bad guy in the story to me xP

Poor Storm, relinquished after a bad guy. He'll blow a fuse, even though he is an imaginary pixel. I just want to finish Storm's petpage and make it colorful. Maybe even try to enter him into the beauty contest, although that'll take a while. Akal already won top in species and overall (two beautiful trophies in his cabinet!).

So... back to Loveless (sorry, I can get off topic sometimes), anyways Seimei is my favourite character from the manga. He's just so calm and content and he has that kind of evil look in his eyes. Beware Ritsuka!!! xP I can't wait for Loveless #8 to come out. I want to know if Ritsuka will ever get to meet his brother (thats Seimei by the way).

So anyways, back to Storm's character layout. Storm will have electric blue eyes and a darker hair color then Seimei in the picture. I am looking for dark blue maybe? I'll figure out the color scheme once I figure out how to work Photoshop.

I was talking with one of my other friends yesterday. We don't have any classes together this year D: It's not a shocker because half the classes I took were different then hers. Plus we never had any classes together even when we were in middle school except for 1 year in gym xD The classes I took this year are Pre AP Geography, Pre AP Language Arts, Honors Biology, Algebra 2 Trignometry, Band, and French 2. With such a heap load of classes I am thinking twice about joining the Freshman basketball team this year. Don't think I will since I have an odd feeling that we'll have a super load of homework. D:

-sigh- I am going to miss my freedom years. Now it's all going to be about work, work, work, keeping a 4.0 GPA, and even more work. I will, infact, join the tennis team in Spring. I can't wait -hypervalates-

My spectacular life --->

Ugh... I don't even know where to begin.

So today I found out that one of my best friends is going to be in only 3 of my highschool classes. It's hard enough to be a freshman, but going to school without a good friend on your side makes it even tougher. I know I should be thankful for the 3 classes I have with her. I just feel like I might not be able to talk with her as much as I did before. I was so used to her being in pretty much every one of my classes in middle school. It hurts to see her go.

I haven't talked with any of my other friends about classes yet. I am too afraid. I don't want to lose them.

So summer has really been boring. I took a 3 day trip this week. We had to drive all the way up to Connecticut. It was 10 hours and was ridiculously boring. We spent 2 out of the 3 days driving and only 1 day with my cousins. Which was really stupid because if we could have waited until Thanksgiving to see them then we'd have had more time to be with them. Ehh... but my mom insisted and my dad agreed so they both dragged me along.

Don't worry, my life isn't THAT bad. It's just that the little things that mean the most to me never seem to work. I haven't even had time this summer to meet my friends. Which isn't really anybodys fault. I just didn't think about the fact that I might never talk with them again. I usually IM with my friends, but it's different when you meet them. Me and my friends have made millions of plans, but either my dad doesn't want to take me anywhere because he is tired (and it's not his fault at all, it's his work) or my mom just says no because she doesn't want to anger my dad. I seriously get lectures about how I should make plans ahead of time (which I do) and about why I don't realize that my dad is over worked and that I he can't take me to meet my friends because he is too tired. I've stopped even telling my parents about my plans, because it's useless.

I know my parents are tired with work and they get stressed out. It hurts me to see them like that. This year has been rough on all of us. Beginning with my cat dying. I guess I should just wait until things get easier for my parents. I don't want to stress them out and make them worry about me. I could always work something out with my friends.

My mom and dad have and are still all about 'school'. It's fine with me. I am a regular A, B student, but now they won't even let me meet any of my friends. My mom compares me with all the other students she thinks are really 'smart'. And my dad gives me lectures on math, physics, electrical engineering and all the boring stuff out there. They don't realize that I have my own dreams. That I am not interested in math or engineering. I would rather take my intelligence and help all the animals in the world instead of people.

Or even another dream of mine, become a professional tennis player. It may or may not happen, but hopefully if I can dream it, I can make it happen, right? So, all you people, look out for me in the future.

I am aiming to make my highschool tennis team. Tryouts are in next Spring. Hopefully I can get my parents to sign me up into a tennis class starting this school year. I will probably be able to squeeze tennis lessons into my not-so-busy schedule. Maybe I can get my parents to cancel piano lessons or even move them. =D (Just realized this is my first smiley I used. I usually use gazillion smilies everytime I type. I guess this was some very serious business I was typing about to not use a smiley xP <--- there it is again).

I want to be commited to something other then studies. I had fallen in love with tennis for the very first time when I saw Roger Federer play. He makes it seem so easy. Just simple strokes. I want to become better then him. I want to be number 1 in the tennis league, even if I am a girl. I want to play tennis in the Olympics (which by the way have started!) and represent my country.

Wow... so many "wants" o_0 I wonder if I can accomplish all of them?

Oh, and on a last note, we all know that Roger Federer is going to win gold for tennis is this year's Olympics =3
