My midnight snack was always a bowl of Frosted Flakes. I got very cold after and started shivering afterwards, but I always chose cereal because it's my friend when I'm alone at night.

I came back from Dominican Republic and went grocery shopping. When I came back, although my old friend Frosty wasn't there, there were corn puffs, which I was excited to try, there was milk, there was a washed set of plastic spoons that I've used to eat cereal with ever since I can remember, and there was my cereal bowl that nobody else in my family uses.
But there was no milk pitcher.

I couldn't eat my cereal because I wouldn't have any place to store the milk after I've opened a new bag. How tragic.

An hour and a half later, I was so hungry that I had to go downstairs, open a bag of milk, and close it to the best of my ability with elastics that hold broccoli together. I eat my bowl of cereal now.

I wish that the pitcher that holds my life up will be lost, so I'll be forced to improvise, to depend upon others and God, to seek new answers, and to be imperfect.

I want to be hated, so I can learn how to love.
 

but for a whole different reason than some others.

I've been stuck in my room for so long, and my brain is doing weird things to me.
I thought, hey, I can take Tylennol 3 and I'll feel better!

Wrong... now I have a woozy headache that's ... duller, but also wider. And my stomach hurts, even though I ate onion rings to prevent my stomach from dying too much.

From what I remember, the next symptom I get from Tylennol 3 is constipation... uh oh.

Taylor Swift reminds me a lot of Hilary Duff. And these days, I actually listen to the lyrics whenever I listen to new music (and old music).

I've downloaded a whole bunch of Disney movies and soundtracks... they make me cry. =(
I think I cried in.... the Incredibles, Hercules, Mulan... (these are recently) and... while listening to random songs. I also discovered that I can plug in a second pair of speakers and have almost-surround sound. =D But I do'nt have another pair.

I've finally finished cleaning my room (the fact that my cleaning service day was today was a catalyst). I'm pretty sick of going to class. I can hardly pay attention and it frustrates me how slow they go and how uninteresting they make things. It used to be better earlier this year... maybe it's just my attitude.

My scrapbooks haven't been getting any entries in the past three weeks.

Jack Johnson seems to be obsessed with mango trees. Yumm... mango trees...
I'd love to live by the beach in the Caribbean. Sun, rain (and thunderstorms), beach, ocean, breeze, bicycles, trees (mango trees), guitar, straw hat, sailboat, flip flops, .... ahhhhh I'm going to go downstairs and get some pineapples and strawberries with sugar. Even though I have little money left.


On a more North American note, www.ripple.org donates a few cents per each click you make, and they have a considerable effect. All you have to do is click a few buttons.


My roommate doesn't flush the toilet. He smokes smelly stuff beside my room into the vent and it stinks up my room. His friends toss my toilet paper rolls on the washroom floor. His friends use my cups and dishes and not wash them. He turns the music up loud, almost constantly (more than 20 hours per day), he leaves the front door open which allows sneaky thieves to come and steal our food in the cupboards. He doesn't clean his toothpaste droppings in the sink.

But I decided to not do anything. I don't want to lose myself.

Twitter would be more useful if I had a phone. But I would rather not have a phone and have other things.

Must find housing for next year.
Should I go to calculus class...?

Oh.. I turned off the autostart for You Are My Sunshine. Sorry if it annoyed you.

hello, world! well, mostly stalkers, while the rest of the world keeps spinning.

i am thinking...





okay i give up. i am not writing another post >_>
haha sometimes i actually delete the post... but this time i think i shall post it so the whole world can know that i sat here for twenty minutes.
thinking...
and outputting blank.

hm.

my form of... or, actually, one form of many regrets come in guises such as this.
Sometimes I miss lots of my opportunities because I think. No, I'm not saying I'm the only one who does this... =P but when this missed opportunity is something that you wanted to do for someone else, it's like, GAH. dang.

So... yes. emotions are weird things... when I'm happy, I feel like I can do whatever that comes my way... and when I'm feeling sad, I just want to get away from it all, even if something/someone that I really love or like or enjoy is around. Yes...

SO.
I shall change my tone.
LET'S ALL BE HAPPY, EVERYONE. =)
No matter how much we fail, we can always hang on and live on, because God is like totally awesome.

So let's not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. =D
ahaha xP

you are my sunshine,
my only sunshine.
you make me happy
when skies are grey.
you'll never know, dear,
how much i love you.
please don't take my sunshine away.

it was such a beautiful day that I had to go outside and take pictures. I tried taking 9 exposures for a really huge HDR, but they all shift when i'm adjusting the dial. So this one is actually only from 3 bracketed exposures.

I thought it was so freaky when Sarah would chant the lyrics to songs... but here I go.

Into your hands, I commit again. All I am, for you, Lord.
You hold my world in the palm of your hand, and I am yours, forever.

Jesus, I believe in you. Jesus, I belong to you. You're the reason that I live, the reason that sing, with all I am.

I'll walk with you wherever you'll go. Through tears and joy, I'll trust in you.
and I will live in all your ways and your promises, forever.

Jesus, I believe in you. Jesus, I belong to you. You're the reason that I live, the reason that sing, with all I am.

I will worship you.

and for some reason, I hear Rachel's voice whenever I sing this song.

Goddddddddddddddddddddddddd
I missed you...

Global Awareness Week. Some person from Congo came and gave a speech. Kaitlin told me to think of a question while watching the presentation... and at the end, they asked people who had questions to come up to the front and ask questions. Kaitlin drags me up. I have no question. She asks, "for the students that want to do something, what could they do?" and he answers... "that's why I'm here!". He slightly misunderstood the question, but Kaitlin just gives up. Ahh, my turn...
"umm.... what... kind of food do you eat?"
"uhh... sorry?"
"I mean... what... like, do you eat... potatoes? do you plant your own food? where do you get your food? what do you eat?"
"ummm... **looks around, confused**"
"uhh... **scratches head**"
**everybody laughs**
"please clarify your question."
"I... um... what do you eat... normally? (feeling awkward, I kind of spin around on the spot)"
"well, we eat... rice, potatoes, hamburgers, chicken..."
"uh.. okay. (I start walking back to my seat, partly because Zuhaib pushed me, and then I realize that he is still staring at me like I'm some kind of freak and listing food that they eat.)"
"soup, lots of things."
"okay, go back to your seat."

Then after the assembly, random people I didn't know started talking to me in the halls about how funny my question was. >_<
Well... what a good way to make yourself known, Joseph. As the guy who asked a really stupid and weird question to the Congo man.

Mmmmm...
This looks simply delicious. I don't know what to do.
It's got instructions on how to bake it, so I'm going to tackle it and see how it turns out. =P but I doubt that I'll succeed at first... because I don't even know what a food processor is. xD My brain is thinking computers.

Ahhh la tarte semble trop delicieux. T.T

My Theory of Knowledge quiz.
"HUMANS IS SPECIAL" was already there, and the rest are all products of my creativity. =)

I went to the library today and took out three more books. =)
So right now I have Complete French Grammar Review, Artemis Fowl: Operation Opale (which is in French), tuesdays with Morrie, and what would Socrates say?, and Why Gender Matters. Interestingly, many books don't use proper capitalization in their titles these days, but I think it looks better that way. =P

I feel like I'm on top of things. I'm doing things I normally would not have time to do, but my workload has actually increased from last year, which suggests that I've learned to manage my time more effectively! Now... how do you add emoticons to this.... Okay, I give up. xD I can't find it. And wow, there are so many moods to choose from! *chooses peaceful*

Today will be the third day of the week on which I go to sleep before midnight. =)
Oh yes, my math test was okay. Actually, it was good. =) My chem test was extremely easy, my English presentation went pretty well, and this week's been just full of ... or... rather... hmm... wait a minute.
Stress, where'd you go?
