THE JENNELLE SMILE It was her kindergarten picture day. she didn't know how to smile, so her mom told her to "just show teeth". and yes folks, that's what stanks did. she literally showed her teeth. that's stanks for ya.


AHHHHH so with everything that's going on, i'm in "stress mode". there are all these thingsss: F.A.N.T.A.S.T.I.C.S, FYC, homework, UPCOMING TESTS...ahhhhhh! i don't seem to manage my time well. i'm always on the phone with JD, when i know i got this assignment due. ahhh. that's just me though. but yeah, since i'm gonna be REALLY busy the next few days, expect my next entry saturday night. ahh poo-ee.

GREETINGS EARTHLING as you can see, I FIXED MY WEBCAM. woohoo. but yeah, fixing it somewhat inspired me to change this layout. how? i don't know..it just did. ANYWAYS, SENIORITIS is kicking in. i SOOO don't give a crap about my CALCULUS class, and i see myself spending way tooo much time on my bed. *sigh* i mean, if i was going to an actual university, i'd kick myself in the ass to work harder. Since it's not the case, my motto is "who careeeeessssssss". ahhhh. someone help me change.

grammys were yesterday. i've heard around that people thought it was "boring and sucked". i personally liked it. JOHN MAYER, NORAH JONES, THE SYMPHONNY, COLDPLAY, NSYNC, and other folks had dope performaces.

i finally changed of webcam pics. ahh

FINALLY, FRESH AIR! i've finally breathed fresh air yesterday. ok ok, maybe i'm overexaggerating a tad bit, but i had a good time. the day started with plans to go bowling. i headed to jd's house and waited for the other's to show. stanks and jeff come. and later jovs and yabs show up. as it came closer to 6pm (meeting time), we decided to go bowling after.

after the meeting, plans changed once again. instead of bowling, TERRIFIC TUESDAYS at CINEMA SAVERS for those $1 movies. DIE ANOTHER DAY was gonna show at 9:45, but we decided it was too late. AGAIN PLANS CHANGED, so we went to jd's house to watch a movie.

everyone did their thang and got food. we rented THE LEPRECHAUN .. watched part of SMALLVILLE. it was nice being with MOST of the friends(grant, stine, and rach are in SD), just chillen, not having to worry about what hw i need to do and whatnot. sadly, i had to leave early, so i missed out on all the fun.

when i got home, i watched the lakers/rockets game. it was pretty goood.

a nice day if i do say so myself.

REALIZATION another day at home. my prediction is that i'll mainly be staying home this week, until justine and rach come back from san diego. i've stood back and analyzed different situations, and the outcome is sad. i don't think people realize how much their actions can affect someone. though this power lies in their hands, they just don't realize they're disregarding SOMEONE'S feelings.

separation is best right now

*NEW SECTION* THOUGHTS is the new section i've added. In it, i'll post up my thoughts about different topics. the topic currently in there is REALITY TV.

HAPPY BELATED VALENTNE'S DAY so yesterday was valentine's day. today, they decided THAT DAY was the best day to pass out the SENIOR SWEATERS and SHIRTS. arghh. so practically all the seniors spent their lunch time in line to get them. luckily, i got mine, and rushed home.

i picked up JD at school and we went to buy our tickets for DAREDEVIL later that night (more on that later). we went downtown and ate dinner at THE OLD SPAGHETTI FACTORY. it sucked cause we got stuck at a table which was HIGH, and the seats that were low...PLUS the table was long. i felt so far away from him. haha. anyways...we stuffed our faces and went back to the movie theater.

THE MOVIE: verry dissapointing. from the trailer, you get a feeling that the movie is quite good. PFT! the intro to the movie was long, the action came late, and you think of ths question: is the movie supposed to be funny? but yeah, the action was kool. other than that, don't waste your money.

when we came out, THIS LONGGG LINE for another DAREDEVIL showing was all we saw. amazingly, that is the first time i've EVER seen a line out the door. too bad they wasted their money. =P

JD BOUGHT BE AN ULTIMATE BUCKET OF CAKE BATTER ICECREAM!!!!! AHHHHHH!!! =D

wednesday: ok. so nothing really happened. senioritis kicks in. i go to sleep hecka early....10ish

today: soooooo today was a long day. i went home the usual time and picked up rach and stine at like, 2ish. there we just killed time till our FYC support group started. after, we killed time and went to STARBUCKS. saw alvin there and studied for a test. later, my friend erwin showed up to do his hw. after, at 6:00pm, we went to FANTASTICS practice(fantastics is like a "battle of the classes". each class(c/o '03, '04, '05, '06) would create a skit around a central theme: boardgames. there are also games. its gonna be held at the civic center downtown. its pretty fun.

anyyyways, we practiced. its a dope dance. then a headache arises. it gets worse when i drive home. i HAVE PLENTY OF HW, AND this headache. RARRRRR!!!!! please bless me. rid me of this painnnnnnnnnnnnn

YES DUFFY indeed, the time has come. YES DUFFY from RW/RR BATTLE OF THE SEXES was voted off last night due to the fact that his partner ERIC had to be the MACHO MAN and collect all the rings. SHOOOT. it wasn't even YES' fault. they had plenty of time to complete the task. i guess it might also have to do with the fact that they had som miscommunication. YES gave a nice "farewell speech". *SIGH* all 3 of your girlfriends will be missing you (me, rach, stanks). we'll always love you. after all, you are "our boyfriend". hah. bit corny, but shoot, YES has that affect on me.

i got my report card. WOOOHOO! here's how it goes:

CALCULUS AB..........C-
ART 1.......................A
US GOVERNMENT....A
ENGLISH 4................A
PHYSICS..................B+

i thought i had a D in calc. phew. i'm soo glad. yes, i don't put much effort into that class...but hopefully it'll change. physics sucked. the final was what messed me up. we took it two times, and averaged the score. i didn't finish the 1st one, so it was bad. B+ is good though. i'm happy.

woohoooo!!!! DRINKS ARE ON THE HOUSE!!!! =P

REMINISCING so life has been the same old way its always been lately. nothing bad, just regular life. when i had a talk with my childhood friend JOSEPH..it struck something: i really miss my childhood friends..i didn't go to my "home school" (highschool). i went to silver creek, while all my other friends(except a few) that i grew up with went to yb, or san jose high.

i remember saying to all my friends, "WE'LL KEEP IN TOUCH...WE'LL BE FRIENDS FOREVER," disregarding the fact that we've been told that friends who separate in high school DON'T keep in touch.

even though it hurts to say this...it is true. even though you try, its hard. one of my best friends (fouzhan, who i know is reading this), went to a different high school. i knew her since 1st grade. it's sooo crazy. she brought the goof outta me. JFK is what we called ourselves (justine, fouzhan, and karen). haha. i remember our jokes...our fun..it's soo crazy. we were so close.

justine lives right across the street. fouzhan lives on the otherside of justine's block. the only time i talk to fouzhan is online. a few times we saw each other, but that was a while ago. she just lives 1 block away. is it my fault our friendship is the same? yes..i'd say it was my fault...but it wasn't intentional. we just drifted apart.

something i discovered: we all want to go to UCSC. fouzhan is getting in with her good grades. justine applied. but i didn't. i'm just gonna transfer. it crazy. it was nothing we planned, just a mutual choice. although i don't see her, i love fouzhan. her presense would light up a room. her energy. my mom asks me why she doesn't come over anymore....i wonder too.

but i DO know why. i'm scared what we had in the past no longer exists. i'm scared we'll reunite and discover that the friendship we had changed...that we grew apart...that we aren't the same as we were when we were young..that we're not JFK. i DON'T want to come to that realization..but maybe i'll have to someday.

i miss the old days...when life was just about chinese jump rope, thether ball, AIR TAG, NATION, the games that we'd play at reccess, the FUN...the friendships.

all are now just memories..memories that i hold on to.
