Diarrhea of the mouth much? Well, that's me. I guess all that chewed up food that I display while I jabber on looks like diarrhea anyway. Let's think about it this way: if keeping my mouth shut attracts...oh, say, 4 times more guys, and at the moment I have zero guys, so 4 * 0 = 0. Therefore, no change has occurred.
Timmreck test tomorrow, the Momster found out that I'm not technically "studying" for it, but I copied all the identities and helped a couple people with problems so what's the problem?
Time to sleep, I guess. Power to me tomorrow.
What I'm Reading: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith
MUAHAHAHAHAAH
What I'm mad about: Sonata Rabidus Sheet Music for FOUR FREAKING BUCKS from here: http://www.bhantoot.com/pdm/ What I'm slightly worried about (no really, only slightly): Timmy Test
In Mr. Timmreck's words, it's when a little itty bitty baby (such as ones we supposedly will conceive in the near future) is holding a toy, but then it's distracted by something like a butterfly or Curious George on TV or Uncle Fred and it just drops the toy. It's like one of those shock moments when you drop everything and scream. 'Cept less dramatic. Anyway, I'm not sure I remember why he was telling us about this...... ah! It was when he was like "oh I accidentally crossed things out when I was adding fractions or whatnot" and we were just like "too stunned to respond because we are bewailing our unfortunate position of being fail at everything and yet having a test around the corner". Which we do. I'd like it to be next week, but I'm not totally DYING over that it's this week. I think.
Nomnom cookie. Went to Kinokuniya yesterday-- on the way there saw a bunch of Hyde kids pushing each other around in a shopping cart outside of Safeway... I was just like ,"Lol, this is what Hyde kids do in there free time, Mom." No offense, Hyde kids. Julian claims that they were getting stuff for the Tech challenge. Ham sandwiches, perhaps? God knows you can't work on an empty stomach. Anyway, at Kinokuniya I saw the new (or maybe not and I'm just behind on times) a-gels. They're the ones that have white grips and colored bodies. So cool. Only I can't get them because I just got two nice and cheap Dr. Grips from Target and plus I already have too many pencils in my pencil bag. When there are too many I start to lose track, so no go. I also saw this little book that I had admired before but had the fortune to adulate over again: Kawaii Not. http://www.kawaiinot.com/ It's just a compilation of things from this webcomic. Very very very cute vectors (although they disagree) with witty words of wisdom. Sample:
You go, Meghan Murphy. This would be the perfect time to introduce ALBERT'S ADDICTING GAME: PLANTS VS ZOMBIES. Available free online here: Gamehouse Plants vs Zombies
Beautiful.
Lastly, a look at some beautiful yet affordable (the cost of two pizzas from school =_=) yarn that I plan on making into a beret from Selena when she gets it:
Tis the lovely Unicorn by Imagination Hand Painted Yarns, brought to you by knitpicks yarn . Only $4.99 a hank, 219 yards per hank, 50% Merino Wool, 25% Superfine Alpaca, and 25% Nylon. Delightful colors of which remind me of the regrettable unicorn wallpaper lining my bedroom. Available on the twenty fifth.

It just goes to show that even if I got a 100 on a Timmy test, I'm still horrible at maths. [dies] My mom was like, "You're soooo scatterbrained and you mess everything up blah blah blah and you have to do a problem for like 30 minutes." All I can say is, "The fruit doesn't fall far from the tree, Mom." In all honesty, she totally made a silly mistake too, but in the end it's me who feels like crap because it actually matters for me. Sad face. Maybe it's because I haven't been having egg recently. The rents totally forgot about it, until this morning. It's not panacea, it does take at least 3 days to work.
Found this awesome awesome website dedicated to colour (spelled properly and britishly!) and design. LOVE. http://www.colourlovers.com/ . It's amazing-- users can even name their own colours, provided no one else has claimed it. And most of the designs are lurvely and would be awesome as fabrics. Delivered the flag today, the "H" was coming off D:. Stupid appliques. I bet the cold weather makes the ironing phase nullify itself. God, it's a good thing the competition isn't in someplace really cold. All the stuff would fall off the flag and we would totally look communist.
Went hunting for cowl knitting patterns, found a couple nice, doable ones like
from Knitty. Haha, that's so cute. They have a "mellow" version of it so as to not stump hapless knitter-failures like moi. I need to start making a kind of to-do list so that I don't skip around on projects =_=. Hate having half-assed-baked-finished stuff lying around, looking forlorn, and just begging to be thrown away by the Momster.
On a brighter note, KIM YU-NA STRIKES AGAIN. She's so amazing, and her Bond routine is one of the best I've ever seen. Her performance scored the highest short program total of 44.70 points, and she's currently 5 points ahead of the second place, Mao Asada from Japan. Like I said, a-MAAAAzing. She got a new dress for her routine, too.
WIN.

What I hope my parents have forgotten: AMC 10 tomorrow morning
I GOT 100 ON TIMMRECK TEST. THE ONLY ONE, DAMMIT. TAKE THAT, BOYS. Granted, it wasn't the raw score, but since my last score was an 84, I'm not complaining. And lay off, Chris Ying. I'll get there someday.
Thinking about making Selina a beret she wanted.
I think I like this one, from the purlbee.com, the best because it is a pattern that can easily incorporate a wide variety of fingering yarns. Plus, the yarn colorway you see here comes in so many other nice varieties.
Short post today, finished TKAM notes... love the book, it's so touching in the end. Despite the ham. Lol.
What I'm Reading: knitting patterns How I'm feeling: TRIUMPHANT and a little bit SMUG
It's true that when people are high, they often don't remember the things they did or said. Or perhaps they suffered from memory loss. Whatever the reason, I can't remember what happened during break at choir, except that I laughed lots and my friends should pay me for gifting them with more time in their life via laughter. It all happened when I ate those graham crackers... and then I was off about flab and ab and toothpaste. Did you ever realize that ab was in flab? That means that somewhere down there, over the rainbow, there are abs under your flab(s). Like hidden treasure. I had a dream a couple nights ago, when I had abs. I was like, "Whoah, what are these things?" and someone else said, "Dude, those are abs." I poked them. They were strangely non-flabby. Then I was like [WIN]. I also chucked the last graham cracker into the bushes in an effort at rehab. Hopefully they are good composts, unlike corrugated cardboard. Remember- Cardboard no, delicious yes.
I would like very much to make myself a tidy little messenger bag via http://wkdesigner.wordpress.com/2009/08/17/push-the-envelope/. The only thing that sucks about it is that I gotta print out or pdf the pattern or something or draw it myself. And it's not very visual, but oh well. jcarolinecreative.com is also having huge fabric clearance and I so want to get my hands on:
Patty Young's Black Blossoms from Flora and Fauna by Michael Miller
$6.50 /yrd
&
Alexander Henry Fashion for Home's Green Viceroy
$8.00 /yrd
The viceroy is in canvas, so it would be on the outside, and the Black Blossom is for the lining. Hopefully I can get them before they sell out D:
Teh Roolez: Scribble rants have two parts: (a) scribble(s), and a rant. GO!

FINISHED THE ROBOTICS FLAG :D
it's supposed to be a gear with flaming wings, picasso style? lol phail
I like this side better, just cuz of the digital display which was sooo much easier to cut than anything else, and the prezzels :"]
At first I was totally afraid that people wouldn't like it, but the my mom was all like, "If they don't like it they can effing make it themselves." And I saw the truth. Win.
Yay, America has 5 gold's and Sean White pwned the competition during snowboarding again.

MOMO :D I <3 filminthefridge's simple design and quilting
Someone HAS to get me the two Glee music CD's. I spend all my time on Youtube listening to the whole playlist and singing at the top of my lungs. And since I totally sound better in the bathroom, and I can't take the laptop in there, I kinda want it on my 'pod. She works hard, ever day of her life... Somebody toooooo looooooove!
Yeah, nutcase much?
Okay, I missed a couple days of blogging D: too busy with party-ish stuff, you know? Let's look at the highlights.
Friday:
OLYMPICS :D. Opening ceremony was okay, but since I'm that spontaneous person that is easily impressed by loud noises and bright colors that move fast, I thought the Beijing one was cooler. But this one was nice and soothing and I liked it that all the nations' names were said in French first so I could repeat it like some monkey hear, monkey say. It went on pretty long, until like 12 am or so. The sad thing was, this Olympian from Georgia (with a name I cannot pronounce, much less spell) totally died in the morning during luge practice. The video was shocking-- he rounded the last corner at breakneck speeds (145 kmph, or 95 something mph) and he flew out of the sled as it hit the wall, and he flew over the padded wall and straight into the unprotected steel beams. All the doctors and all the EMT's couldn't pull the guy back to life again (sorry, was thinking Humpty Dumpty). I also made the best brownies ever (they were from the awesome Ghirardelli mixes) and they are soooooooooo goooood. Mmmmmmmm...
Saturday: Went RANCHO RUNNIN' with Paigie, Vickie Dickie Dum Dum, and Selina Darlin'. We were only going to do 4 miles, as DK suggested, but then we went on this endless trail that just kept going up 'n up 'n up 'n up (yeah, obviously didn't run the whole thing). Plus, the uphill trails were muddy and slushy and horse-shitty. When we finally reached the ridge that would lead back down, it had been one and a half hours (we started at 10:30 am) and me and Paigie broke out with an NSYNC duet. Then we coasted the whole way down, and I totally beat Vickie and Selina to the opening (THE RACE ENDS HERE). Awesome. Then her dad took us to Ciceros for pizza. We ordered like, two larges and finished them in twenty minutes [ravenous]. It was okay because all that running had created NEGATIVE CALORIES. We were just getting some back. Then I went home, showed Vickie my dangerous shoes, showered and pretended to nap while secretly reading She Went All the Way by Meg Cabot. I really love Meg's stuff. She only tried the "girl needs to be popular, girl becomes popular and gets jock pop bf, girl realizes she loves old best guy friend, girl knows that popularity isn't everything" once, and it was in a pretty innovative way, to. I am SICK and TIREd of those stories. Authors also tend to mess school systems up, saying that their little valedictorian seniors who were super smart had GEOMETRY. Or CALCULUS. They get the physics part right, at least. Had Chinese New Years party at uncle's, went home and slept.
Today: HELLA SORE. Spent the morning cleaning the house up for tonight, realized I had choir which would take up a whole chunk of my time, walked like a gangsta or a cowboy cuz of the soreness. Augh, still can't squat. Blah blah, went to choir, came home to Huo Guo (Hotpot sounds nasty) party, ate, played Brawl and Kart with Andy and David and Sheray, now this. Oh, and lovely Glee. (It's my liiiife, it's now or neverrr, I AIN'T GONNA LIVE FOREVERRRR)
Ow, I cracked me pore back (bad attempt at Irish accent?).
How wuz yore week'nd's?
