Mom made me clean my room, so I was stuffing a lot of envelopes and papers into my Binder, and I just ended up just flipping through it and looking at it.

Second period English with Steven hahah. It's in my binder now.

Dad is adorable. We got into this big fight yesterday when it came up that I needed to go tutor Devin, and that it meant he would have to wait around for an hour or two, and today he bought me a box of ramen to apologize with LOL AWH. <3

So yesterday I caught the end of American Idol, and this guy, Adam Lambert, is amazing. Seriously, I love his voice so much. *______* So clearly I was happy when he moved on to the top 12. I HAVE REASON TO WATCH THE SHOW AGAIN. Oh, but I'm like 99% sure he's gay. Cuhs I was watching him sing and I was like "Oh hey I like this hair -- wait. CALEB HAS THE SAME HAIR. O___O" And in one of the clips they played THEY EVEN HAD THE SAME STYLED BAG AHH AHH. PLUS, EYELINER + BLACK NAILS AAAAAH. ;~~~;

I love Mom. I went through those two Chex Mix bags so fast, so when she went to Costco today, she picked me up this huge bag. Only ... I don't actually like the regular kind. But meh, I'll still eat it.

I got salad in the cafeteria (it was Cesar, finally), and I gave the lady my two quarters, and she clearly wasn't thinking straight because she gave me 60 cents back, and I sure as hell didn't feel guilty taking it since the school's been screwing me over with that damn Chinese Chicken Salad, which - I don't care what Alyssa says - is crap, by the way.

We finally went to try out that Tampopo place that Tiffany recommended a while back. It was a nice little place, and there were all these cute little touches here and there, but ultimately, we still think Umemura is the best. ♥

And since Tampopo is right next door to Marie Calendar's, it was just all too convenient to stop over and grab a pie. February is almost over, and we couldn't let it go without getting a couple more pies at half price! I wanted to try their Key Lime since Ken kept saying how good it was last time I told him we got pie, but they were out (which must mean it's really good!) and went for my favorite Lemon Meringue and this new pick, Coconut Cream. (:

In anatomy today, we were hitting each other's tendons and whatnot. It was actually a pretty fun lab; I was working with Chris and apparently we amuse easily.

Michelle and Elizabeth said I had pretty eyes. :`D I mean, they don't look this light normally; only when I'm being blinded by the sun ~ Or, you know. Camera flash.

Obama's speech; I'm seriously taking so much from USAP this year. There were all these parallels between Obama's speech and FDR's fireside chats and stuff. :`D

Sucker was huge.

No good. ;~; I think it's time to call Riju.

YEEEEEEEEAH SLUMDOG! 8/10! 8D

Andy's refereeing over at Rosebowl tomorrow, and one of Mom's students is taking him, so we went over to Ralphs to buy them some chips and etc as a sort of thank you. And then we bought even more stuff for ourselves ahaha. I picked out some Chex Mix after realizing my newfound obsession with it during our Chinese Club practices. And I wanted those lil` square brownies because they are my chiiiiildhood.

I ate most of Salma's gummy worms lawl.

We were putting together class data for penny ages in Stats, and Henrikson had these bingo markers and they were cool.

So I got the Notebook a few days ago, and I had nothing to say, so I drew a "name-picture" thing for Jasmyne and Tiffany. And then I took a picture of it cuhs I'm almost positive Moriah's gonna crap color it in again. xP

Tutored Devin after swim practice today; they're learning about geometry and triangles and stuff, and he totally wasn't listening when I was explaining.

First day of swim practice for school today; it felt good practicing again. Leo's hair is sooo fluffy and soft hahahaha. I kept petting it lol.

No school today, so we went to watch Slumdog Millionaire at the Galleria. (:

asdfjk;aldf such an amazing movie, omg. *_______* I'm still gushing about it to anyone who will listen.

We ate at California Pizza Kitchen where, ironically, none of us got pizza.

Meeting at the Y today; we got our new schedules and stuff. Aaaaaand I didn't get the Saturday hours again, asdf. I'm thinking next time I should just offer to lifeguard from 8-3pm, since it's really not too bad cuhs of the lessons. But there was a hole on Sunday so I jumped at the opportunity. And then a few minutes later Bobby comes shaking his head at me cuhs he wanted it too hahah. I feel a little bad cuhs I don't actually need it. I mean, sure I need to save up for Europe and college and stuff, but that's not really immediate, you know?

Mom, Dan, and I went to try a different ramen place (hahaha), and Tiffany recommended a place next to Marie Calendar's, but when we got over there, we found out there are two ramen restaurants on either side of Marie Calendar's. So I was like "Asdf whatever, we'll try this one today and go to the other one tomorrow lulz." So we went into the one called Kiraku. It was a cute place, the manager/waiter/whatever guy seemed really interested in the fact that we were Chinese. xD; We still thought Umemura was better though.

I told Tiffany later, and she said that the one she had recommended was Tampopo (the other one). xP

... =______=
Oh how I loathe thee.

Mom and I rushed over to Umemura's after I finished working.
The waitress already knows us; it's probably cuhs we left a nice tip last time (it's cuhs we didn't have the right change to leave a smaller tip LOL).

I am getting so fat. D:

It was, like, ridiculously pretty this morning. It was really sunny but it was still raining lightly, and I had my tempest skies and lullaby trees. nxn

But then it stopped raining. And then a while later it started pouring. And then it stopped again. And yeah, weather's pretty crazy in California.

Apparently today's Mr. Barth's birthday. xD; Kelsie brought cake.

We listened to George Brown talk about the Holocaust, and I have most of it recorded, and I don't want to sound critical or anything, but I just thought the way he talked about it seemed really impersonal, just because he had so many memories and stuff to talk about, so he just had to recite through it. But yeah, he seems like such a nice guy. Everyone mobbed him afterwards to get a picture and signature and stuff. I got a book, but I couldn't get a picture with him cuhs there were so many people, and he had to leave.

Steven accidentally ripped off part of my book cover (it was mostly falling off already, but I didn't tell him that hahah), so I drew a SteVAN on it (cuhs that's mostly how I say his name anyway), and he totally didn't get it and drew a rocket back at me on the other side hahaha. And then I made him put the SteVAN side on the binder.

Finally got my calculator back from Tammy. :`D

I asked Jen to get it from her when she saw her 2nd period, but apparently Tammy gave it to Lori, who gave it to Mr. Brack, which worked out pretty well since he's my 3rd period Calc teacher.

Mom made some Tong Yuen after I gushed over how good Grandma's were, and she taught me how to make them too! Mined turned out really ugly though, haha.

We went to the Black Box in first period so the lady could talk to us about George Brown, the Holocaust survivor, who is coming to talk to us on Friday. Basically, we were told how serious this was, that we owed him our absolute respect, and that anyone talking will be kicked out and given two days of detention, because that's how serious it is. Plus, it's his last time speaking about the Holocaust ever, and he chose our school for his last appearance, so that's kind of cool.

Went back to Umemura's tonight, hahah. It was goooooood. <3
