Funny thing

You know how we call people "hot" in America? On Saturday I heard the dance teacher and a bunch of the moms/dancers talking about the emcee, calling him "hot" in Chinese! It was hilarious!
I mean, they're pretty much all married and most of them have kids (maybe all of them)!

Obnoxious Chinese Movie

There's this Chinese movie/legend about some dude whose goddess mom married a human so she was going to be punished by being trapped under a mountain for a really long time. So the dude decides to save her. I saw the cartoon movie when I was littler. Well, they've been showing a long "real people" version of the movie thats been "a bit" changed from the story. So a whole lot of people die for the stupid dude (I'm gonna call him Obnoxious for now), just so he could save his mom. I was all annoyed because I hated Obnoxious from the beginning and now all these people die for him and he's not even worth it! (btw he looks like a girl and he talks all dramatic and annoyingly and hes just really obnoxious! hence, my nickname for him) So I was all complaining about the stupid movie and guess what? All the people who died for him just came back to life! Do you know how stupid that is? URGH! It just bothers me SO much, especially that I can't complain about people dying for a worthless dude anymore!!!

Saturday

On Saturday there was a dress rehearsal for some show or something. So I was running in the hall and I turned a corner and I managed to fall and slide a foot or two so now on three spots on my left leg it hurts real bad. Typical me. :(

Another Thanksgiving Party

On Friday my parents had a party at my house. It was kinda a dud. This girl called Amy came. She told Michelle (my younger sister) and me that she was “Eleven. And a half. So technically twelve [shrug].” She was kinda weird. Her mom gave us gift cards from Target (lolz). And she wrote our names on in the house right in front of our faces which I assume means she didn’t know our names before she got to our house which is downright rude considering she’s friends with my parents. And then she gave Michelle’s gift card to me, and mine to Michelle! Michelle and I looked at them, looked at each other, and almost burst out laughing. Then at dinner Amy’s dad was all like “Kids shouldn’t be allowed in the dining room, they’ll spill juice all over the carpet and table! (in Chinese, of course)” It was so annoying and I WAS GOING TO SCREAM IN HIS FACE!


First of all, we weren’t even kids! We were all teenagers, except for Danny. And Danny really likes food so I don’t think he’s gonna spill his food anytime soon.

Second of all, we weren’t even drinking juice! We were drinking soda! (such a big difference!)

Third of all, the grown-ups took up the kitchen table so how do you expect us to sit there?

Lastly, IT WASN’T EVEN HIS HOUSE! SO HE SHOULDN’T STOP WORRYING ABOUT MY HOUSE AND START WORRYING WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF WE GOT OUR HANDS ON HIM!

He was so stupid and ugly and old and annoying and he was talking about “the kids (me, Dora, Penny, Anna, Danny)” like we weren’t even there, or like we couldn’t understand Chinese so it didn’t matter if he was practically shouting (hello, we ARE Chinese!), or like we were “below” him and the adults or something! I was gonna kick him out of the house if I wouldn’t have gotten grounded afterwards! I actually really hate Amy’s entire family! Well, Amy was ok but she was really weird and I don’t really like her that much either but I don’t really have anything against her.

And then my mom told us to eat this soup that Amy’s dad made!? We were like, “We ain’t eatin anythin’ that old guy made or touched!”

OMG THAT GUY WAS SO OBNOXIOUS!!!!!!!

Thanksgiving Party

I went to my friend Emily’s house for a Thanksgiving party on Thursday. We played Wii games, Hide-and-seek (in which I managed to knock over a table that had a vase full of rocks that we had to pick up-luckily nothing broke-and I knocked it over last year too), Truth-or-Dare, and Uno (which I didn’t play because I don’t really know how). Truth-or-dare was the best! Emily was dared to lick a bar of soap (Connie’s dad had a Trugh-or-Dare APP on his iPhone) so she went to her mom’s bathroom to get soap and her mom was in the bathroom. We heard her knocking on the door and she was all like, “I need a bar of soap! Can you give me a bar of soap? Mom, just open the door a little and hand it to me!” We were laughing SO hard. For the Open Dares, the person’s hair was done crazily by the other players, and the person had to walk through all the rooms that there were people in with the other players following. That was fun until I had to do it. When Connie went her mom was all like, “Connie what’s wrong with your hair? What did you do?” and she had this horrified expression of her face. :D

Good times, good times

My friend told me this and I thought it was really great so here goes:
Edward is on your left, Jacob on your right. Which side should you go towards?

The answer?

















Go straight forward to Mike Newton.

THE OUTSIDERS

I have to write an essay for the outsiders on either:
What determines your path in life?
or
What is an outsider?
(I chose the first one)

ITS TAKING ME 4EVR! I CAN'T FOCUS AND I DON'T EVEN REALLY GET WHAT IM SUPPOSED 2 DO! I JUST CAN'T DO IT 2 GOOD! AND WHEN I FINALLY DID IT...it wasn't 2 good.

Chinese movies

Chinese movies are so sad. Everyone is always oh so dramatic and stupid. I'm like, no one talks or acts like that in real life! They go on and on and on and on and on when something happens and I'm like, shut up and suck it! Get over it you morons!
And they're always so long! My grandma's been watching this one since, what, MARCH, and she's STILL watching it! (wait never mind I think she gave up because it was so long)
No wait I just asked it ended about a month ago. But still! Thats like 7 months! Every day! NO ONE CARES ABOUT RANDOM PEOPLE'S COMPLETELY UNREALISTIC LIVES!!! STOP MAKING POINTLESS MOVIES!!!
And you know when in the movies all the people are like flying off the walls and stuff? So I saw one where this guy like jumped off a balcony and like floated down so he could fight this very violent and obnoxious princess girl. And my sister was chasing me around the house one day and I was preparing to slide down the staircase when my mom caught me and was like, NO NO NO IN THE MOVIES WHERE THEY JUMP OFF THE BUILDINGS ARE FAKE! IF YOU JUMP OFF THE STAIRS YOU'RE GOING TO DIE! (for some reason she thought I was trying to jump off the staircase or something)

CHINESE  MOVIES ARE SO OBNOXIOUS!

Geometry Part III

YAY! WE HAD A GEOMETRY QUIZ YESTERDAY AND I GOT A 96%! THAT'S PRETTY GOOD (FOR ME)!
OMG so yesterday my dad was all like, geometry is fun! And I was like, not if when you get something wrong you FAIL! And then he was like lecturing me on this math problem he couldn't solve during some competition (probably math counts or something) in high school and he "only figured it out in the last few years." And he showed me and it made NO SENSE at ALL! And he didn't win that competition by the way, he got second place. I was like, "shame on you, daddy! Second place isn't good enough! You have to get first! And even when you get first you have to do BETTER! Cause thats how asians are!" and he started laughing.
Too bad he doesn't understand that I am serious.

False Accusations

Today my friend (*cough cough "Topaz Girl"*) accused me of leaving a comment on her blog which "offended" her...(it was about Edward/Jake or something like that...because Twilight is oh so important!)

:P

I don't like false accusations because they're what assumers make!!!!

Email

I NEVER have time to check my dang email! I won't check it for 2 days and there are like 20 dang new messages! And I never get to finish checking and my dang inbox is always flooded and my parents won't even LET me go on Gmail and its SO annoying because they won't let me text either so, like, HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KEEP IN CONTACT WITH MY FRIENDS?

Assumers

I HATE ASSUMERS! Like people will just ASSUME that I did something, when I DIDN'T! Whenever I'm on the computer my parents ASSUME that I'm playing games but I AM NOT! I AM DOING MY HOMEWORK OR CHECKING MY DANG EMAIL (check "Email"). I hate it when people make false accusations (check "False Accusations")

Analyzing my Actions

Ok you know in Literature class when you have to analyze books and people's words and actions and stuff? I think I have been doing that WAY too much because I am finding myself analyzing my actions, my friend's actions, whatever people are saying.....
For example this one girl always makes stuff up (I think) to make herself seem all great so people will like her (how I analyzed her actions). She said she failed her test than later she said she got a C. I said, didn't you say you failed this morning? And she was like, no I meant I asian failed.
Really? Why didn't you say so. Because of course I believe you!!

Horror Movies Part II

OMG at my friend's sleepover, as I said, we were being dumb so we were watching horror movie trailers like Mirrors, Haunting in Connecticut, Drag me to H-E-double hockey sticks, etc.....and I am literally DYING! I can't open doors because I'm afraid of what's going to be behind it (The Strangers), I can't look into mirrors, especially at night (Mirrors), I can't look out the window (The Strangers), I'm NEVER going to adopt a child like I was planning to for when I grow up (Orphan), I can't go upstairs by myself (The Grudge), I can't go into the laundry room (The Grudge), I can't ride back to my house after tutoring because it's dark out (The Strangers and Drag me to H-E-double hockey sticks), I will NEVER take a job as a tax-helper or whatever the girl from Drag me to H-E-double hockey stick's job was (obviously Drag me to H-E-double hockey sticks), I will ONLY move into houses nobody has lived in before/new houses (Haunting in Connecticut, Paranormal Activity), I won't go into creepy abandoned or in-the-middle-of-nowhere places (The Last House on the Left, The Grudge, The Strangers)...the list goes ON and ON! I am freaked out ALL the time and I might want to go to the "hypnotizers" or whatever just so they can help me forget about it or something, because I seriously CANNOT stand this much longer!!!

Lunch on Thursday

On Thursday my mom and some of her friends went to lunch so of course me, my sister, and my grandma HAD to come too. Well it was at this new chinese place and the food was all REALLY spicy and I was like burning up! And everyone was all like, omg the food is so good! They made us wait until the OWNER came so they could tell him to open another store near where we live! I was dying of boredem! And I loathed the waiter. He was like glaring at us! And my sister was standing there (ok I have to admit a bit obnoxiously) with her butt sticking out and he was glaring at her so hard and I was like cracking up.
And they had this plate of Jolly Ranchers and I took like six.

My friend's sleepover!

So I went to my friend's sleepover on Friday. It was awesome. We watched the proposal which was awesome (yeah...i watched it on Halloween too but it was SO amazing I didn't mind watching it again), and then we watched He's Just Not That Into You, which was......ehhhh. But there was this really funny part, where this woman like, smashes her mirror on the ground. So we're like cracking up and my friend's friend goes, "She's gonna break her broom if she cleans that up." And we're like, "Omg all you can think about is cleaning up the mess?" and then the woman leaves the room and comes back with a broom and starts cleaning up the mess and we were like cracking into pieces I tell you!!
Also Japanese candy is AMAZING!!!!

Horror Movies

I am freaking out! Ever since I watched the first 5 minutes of the Grudge and my friend told me about the movie The Strangers I've been going psycho! I was literally standing for 10 minutes two days ago deciding whether to go close the blinds or not. I didn't want to see this thing that happened in The Strangers but I was afraid something was going to jump out at me. Then I stood for 10 minutes trying to will myself to go upstairs to bed because of the Grudge. And three or four days ago I was standing for 10 minutes trying to will myself to go into the laundry room, which you can enter the attic from
I think I have issues.
I would like to forget all this. I am so dumb. I watched the trailer for Orphan and now I don't want to ever adopt anyone even though that was my plan since third grade.
Sigh.
I wish I could forget all the bad/scary images in my brain.

This girl named Crystal

Ok so I was at my violin teacher's studio class performance-thingie on Halloween in the afternoon and there's this 9 year old girl named Crystal who went last and OH MY GOD she was AMAZING! She was going into like 5th position! I only learned that LAST year! Well turns out Crystal has been on Sesame Street (you know, like when they got Yo Yo Ma to play) and stuff. She has her own manager. She's practically famous! So I ask her, "Did you meet anyone famous?" and she goes "No [shaking her head]. Oh wait, yeah, Michelle Obama."


SHE'S MET MICHELLE OBAMA! I AM SOOOOO JEALOUS! AND I KNEW RIGHT AWAY MY ASIAN MOM WOULD BE ALL LIKE, "OH MY GOD WHY AREN'T YOU AS GOOD AS HER? WHY CAN'T YOU HAVE GOOD POSTURE LIKE HER? WHY CAN'T YOU BE LIKE HER?"

I WAS READY TO DIE RIGHT THEN!

Social Studies Project

We're doing geography in social studies and my group is South Asia. I have India (yippee! jkjk). Other countries in my group are Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Sri Lanka. So we have to do a booth, like a travel agency thing, to show what we've learned about the countries and what makes them a region. So we were supposed to write 5 paragraphs on different subjects, one each and one altogether and guess what? My group didn't do them. I was the only one who did my paragraph correctly. One girl "left it at home" and this guy wrote his pararaph (that was obviously copy-and-pasted from a website) about the BAD things about our region's economy, when we're supposed to MAKE PEOPOLE WANT TO COME VISIT IT. So now I have to do all five paragraphs! And the rotten thing is, I have to research everything because I don't know about the other countries that the other kids had. And they didn't worry AT ALL today during class. They just tried to think of a jingle and a slogan and a gimmick, all minor things, while I WORKED MY BUTT OFF TRYING TO DO THE WORK OF FOUR PEOPLE AT ONCE! And so we were supposed to finish the stuff for homework and they go, "Jackie, you do the paragraphs and the ISN page!" and they said they'd do the easy things that they already did in class! So they have NO homework while I have to do the stinkin' work of FOUR STINKIN' PEOPLE!
*But i was smart and told this girl to do the ISN page, which she probably won't do. Oh well.

Why I dont like my math teacher

I am scared of my math teacher. Because of her I now hate the color purple and the number 2. Why? She always writes in purple and I failed both my chapter 2 test last year and my chapter 2 quiz this year. I used to be so good at math and I never had to study much but it all changed and now I'm struggling to keep a B! The first time I got a B i cried and now I'm relieved to get a B because I've gotten much worse grades. My friend and I's mantra before getting a quiz or test or lab back is: Please let me have gotten at least a B. Please let me have gotten at least a B. Please let me have gotten at least a B!
I even had 4 dreams about math already! Last year I had a test and I dreamed that I got a 96 on it and was showing everyone (I didn't really get a 96. I got an 85 or something like that). I had two dreams about homework: in one, we were supposed to "finish the page" or something like that and I only did the bottom half of the first page because I didn't know we were supposed to finish the entire exercises and she was yelling at me. The other was that in my agenda I wrote "Problems # 1-14, 23-13" or something like that and I didn't know how we were supposed to do 21-13 so I didn't do it and I was freaking out and thinking, ok I have math last today so I'll do it during lunch. and I knew she was going to yell at me. I don't remember the last one because I had that one second.
So therefore concludes my rant about my math teacher.

Extracurricular Activities

My mom wants me to join either Math Counts or Newspaper Club and I don't want to join either! I joined pit so maybe I wouldn't have to but nooooo, "I made you quit karate so you could do extracurricular activities!" and now I have to join one. And they had math counts today and I didn't go and my grandma was yelling at me cuz she told me to go to the meeting today.
Well guess what? I ain't going to no stupid Math Count meeting. I am doing newspaper club because I am scared of the math teacher and I just can't stand having to spend an extra hour or two with her. iI just can't.

Geometry Part II

I was happily doing my geometry homework and then there was a problem I didn't know so I asked my dad and he was like yelling at me because "this is so easy! why can't you do it? you're not fully understanding it!" it sucks having genius asian parents. even my math teacher says she feels bad for me after we asians told her about the "five gazillion different ways to do a problem (according to my friend" our asian parents try to explain to us!
also i have a B in geometry. on my progress report the teacher said "needs to improve effort at this time."
grrr. grrrr.

Halloween

Halloween was SO awesome! I went to a get-together at my friend's house. A total of 10 people showed up. Costumes consisted of:

• robber
• emo-girl-thing-that-was-just-attacked? not too sure actually
• baby
• cat
• girl
• minnie mouse
• blueberry (it was awesome!)
• cat
• vampire-goth-girl-thing? also not too sure
• person who just won the lottery (me!)---i was originally a devil fairy that just won the lottery but the wings were annoying and kept smacking other people and i didn't feel like wearing the horns or devil tail so i just carried around my giant wad of LIFE money.

We were going to watch The Grudge but we got too scared after five minutes and decided to watch The Proposal instead. Which was really funny and made everything good again! :D

When we went trick-or-treating there were some really annoying houses. For example one had a sign that said "Sorry no more candy" and another had a sign that said "We're eating right now" and there were a lot of houses that had empty bowls and signs saying "Please take one (smiley face)" so we rang the doorbell a lot and ran away.

When we got back from trick-or-treating cuz it was pouring like crazy we finished watching The Proposal and then watched Project Runway until we all got picked up.

IT WAS AWESOME!

Lunch

The lunch food is so bad. I mean, I'll look at it to try to decide what to get and I'll lose my appetite. Like, no joke. I can't finish my lunch and I'm always half-starved by the end of the day. And don't even get me started on the lunch ladies! They're SO annoying! Last year there was this lunch lady named Suzie or something and when you said you didn't want the disgusting cinnamon apples or pears or something she'd roll her eyes at you like, "God these bratty spoiled kids are so obnoxious!" Also they NEVER tell you to bring in money and/or if you're owing money! Last year I couldn't get lunch at all one day because I owed too much money and they didn't tell me! Also today I found out I owed over a dollar...and only because I asked! And today there was a fight during lunch and the lunch ladies and/or chaperones didn't even do anything! They went to get the vice principal instead of trying to stop the fight...like the vice principal could have done anything either.
Therefore they should ban lunch ladies and build robot ones instead that would cook food you would actually EAT!
