I’ve been a little sick this week, little sore throat. My Monday was insane, a lot of stuff happened, and Tuesday wasn’t much better.
The Ice Show was awesome, and I now have a pair of black and silver pom poms, a mini-skirt and jacket pinstripe suit, and a rather tricky set of choreography stuck in my head. I also saw my best friend then, which was so much fun. :-)
STAR testing is this week, which, while not painful, is rather annoying. But it means we’re out a little past noon for Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
I’m also debating creating a MySpace for MySelf. (yeah, my sense of humor sucks.) I’d like to be able to parody MySpace, though. I want to be able to put my orientation as “Northeast” for the heck of it. Hmmmm

Tour was absolutely, totally, fantabulous!!!!!! We won the Pacific Basin Music Festival choral section, too!!!!!! I found out a lot of interesting things about my fellow choir members and Hawaiian prices, and experienced Lush for the first time. It’s a fascinating store, but really expensive. It’s about $24 for 8 oz. of lotion. We got a lot of shopping and beach time in, which was fun. Crazy Shirts is a really cool, Hawaii only brand. I wish it were in CA, though.
My computer is totally fixed now! My Dad and I had to wipe my hard drive, again, and reinstall the Operating System, so I had to redo all my files, and mess around with iTunes, because all my songs somehow got duplicated. :-\
The Annual Ice Show at the ice rink I go to is next weekend! The theme’s Extra Extra, like the newspaper. I’m the Sports Section, as a Cheerleader, and the Business Section, in a weird pinstripe suit. My best friend’s coming, so I can hardly wait! :-)
Also, my blood brother made brownies. With ... brownie mix, eggs, butter imitation flavoring, lemon extract, pineapple extract, floor dust (the whole mix fell on the floor), lime powder, food coloring, soy nuts, and some other stuff. Very weird, but overall: 9/10

My birthday is very soon, as is my choir's trip to Hawaii! We're learning a bunch of new songs, and one's in Hawaiian and another in Maori (from

New Zealand

). Another's in Latin, and we'll probably be singing a Spanish song too.
My (blood) brother's birthday is tomorrow!
My computer's problem has been diagnosed. I have no WiFi capabilities due to a driver which has somehow gone missing. I can connect through a wire, but it's a pain, and easy to steal. My hard drive was practically wiped in an effort to fix this, so I'm still working to get my computer up and running regularly again. I've had to reinstall a bunch of programs.
My bro & I cleaned our room about 2 weeks ago, and I've got a pretty interesting story to tell about it.

HAPPY (belated) VALENTINE's DAY & WINTER BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, long time since I did one of these.
The Valentine's Concert was totally awesome, and ranks highly on my favorite days of my life, even if I was up until about 1:45 doing LA HW. The song selection and costumes need help in general, but it's over now, so maybe next year.
My high school held a "Super Hero Spirit Day" where some people dressed as, well, Superheroes (who would've thought?). I made some card board claws to go as X-23 (Wikipedia). A friend went as Rogue (same), and a guy in my PE class who wears glasses claimed he was Clark

Kent

. "Ooo, such a convincing disguise." Then another guy went as a joke from his Biology class last year. He was a crack up.
There's also an upcoming Super Smash Bros. Melee tournament coming up. That should be interesting.
Also, I applied to be an Intern-In-Training for CTC this summer. From what I've heard the program is going to be very different than previous years because of how few people applied. That, too, should be interesting.
Also, I just had about 8 inches whacked off of my hair a month ago (about). This reduction from about 2 feet to 16 inches feels really different. And my bangs were straightened. They're back to normal again, now.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tonight, I'm at my family's cabin in the Sierra Nevada mountains, bumming internet off someone nearby. My brother today gave thanks for his family, food, our aunt's dog, food, good grades, food, etc.
I pulled my first all-nighter Monday night, which was not fun at all. :-(
Also, my MEHAP class went to San Francisco, but I wasn't allowed to because of a math test. -_-.

I have a choir concert tomorrow, and all the music is from the Renaissance time period. Most of it is very pretty.
My LA class is doing a very interesting unit on (basic) psychology, which is interesting to study, if a little bit out of place seeming in a LA class.
I just recently found out about the concept of "Jewish Atheism." As I understand it, it's basically the belief that the events in the Torah (1st 5 books of the Old Testament to Christians) happened, but God had nothing to do with all the events. Very interesting concept.
Another interesting note - according to an article I discovered left on a desk from a class on Genocide, Hitler originated Yo' Mama jokes.

First off - I really like 4 day weekends. Currently, I'm at my aunt and uncle's place in Davis. They have a dog named Cheyenne. Very sweet little one. She's (most probably) an Australian Shepard - Rottweiler mix.
Big News this week! The Democratic Party (the one I side with) took control of the US House of Representatives and the Senate. We now have a female speaker of the House - Nancy Pelosi. She represents San Francisco, and is 3rd in line for the United States Presidency. And ... Donald Rumsfeld resigned! :-)

Largely the same situation as last week. I'm still online at Mom's work, with no internet on my own computer. :-\.
My brother (Rylan) has renamed my iTunes RiTunes, and my solitaire program "Moo!."
For Halloween, I dressed up as my Chemistry teacher from last year, Dr. Thornburg. She's obsessed with purple.
A few noteworthy costumes - my brother went out as Al Yankovic in his White & Nerdy music video (Google Video). 2 kids at school went as the Monty Python version of King Arthur and his servant, complete with coconuts. They even did the act though. Absolutely hilarious. One girl had an inflatable flamingo that she was "riding." A friend of mine (her website) went as Princess Zelda from the latest release - the Twilight Princess.
In MEHAP we've been watching Elizabeth (IMDb), a pretty good movie of the life of Queen Elizabeth I. It stars Cate Blanchett and Geoffery Rush; she played Galadriel in Lord of the Rings; he played Captain Barbossa in Pirates of the Caribbean. Elizabeth isn't the most historically accurate movie ever.

I made it one of my goals to have done by holiday break to get a blog online, but I'm a little annoyed that I'll have to update it ... at, shall we say, "strategic intervals." I'll shoot for once a week, if nothing interesting has happened, maybe less. If something really interesting happened, maybe more.
Thing is, at the moment, my computer's internet has been revoked, so it will be updated rarely until I'm back online. I apologize. I'm currently online at my mother's work.
School so far has been fun. Language Arts currently ranks as my least favorite class. MEHAP is hilarious, and a lot of fun. Just had a lab for my Biology Honors class, rather interesting - we were playing with the effect that pH has on the enzyme catalase.
MVHS's homecoming was this Friday. Personally, I don't get what's so great about a football game. Like, seriously. The theme was "On top of the World" btw - the sophomore (my class)'s float was pretty bad - we did the Roman Coliseum. so yea...
