Lent starts tomorrow and what am I giving up...I'm not even sure if the above was a statement or a question now. So tired! Well I devoured a bag of peanut m&m's in three days and I'm always stuffing my face with junk food so obviously I need to give up junk food. It's a miracle that I'm not overweight, yet.
That's my biggest fear. Being overweight. Not trying to sound narcissistic or whatever but I've been skinny my whole life and whenever I see an obese person and I start thinking that I will end up like that one day, I freak out. Not that I have anything against obese people...I love everyone O_O It's just one of those weird things about me, like how some people are deathly afraid of snakes or water. Yea, I'm afraid of getting fat...and bugs. Hate bugs.
But as I was saying about peanut M&M's, does anyone remember the Crispy M&M's they used to have? Well I've been craving them for a while and looked everywhere for them but found out that they have stopped selling them in the United States. -shock- When I wikipedia'd it I was about to have a heart attack (again, obesity also 'causes heart attacks). They do, however, still sell them in Australia?!?! So not fair...American's like crispy M&M's too. Anyone willing to ship over some for me?
As for school, I don't know and really don't care if they caught the crackhead that started the fire in the trashcan in the bathroom. I am surprised that they haven't said anything else about it though. Oh wells. And my friend told me yesterday that they have stopped calculating the GPA for people who is not in the top 20. That made me want to sing and dance. Of course I didn't sing and dance in the middle of the hall and make a fool of myself. If I wasn't so concerned about my "reputation" I would've done it though. -scoff- I'm being sarcastic...in case you didn't catch that in my tone.
Heck I don't even know what this post is about and I'm just rambling again, as usual.
To sum this up, I'm giving up junk food for lent and I'm afraid of getting fat.
I also apologize if I offended anyone with my ramble on obesity. I'm not trying to be mean or anything.

I would've thought that kids in high school would use more common sense, but I've been wrong a few times these days. Especially today. So all was nice and dandy, I just had lunch and am sitting in Economics listening to my teacher laugh at his own jokes (only a select few are funny) when the fire alarm goes off. Everyone evacuates the building and no one thought much of it. Then we were told to go further back away from the school and so after about 15 minutes we hear fire trucks. 30 minutes pass and then we're rounded up and led to the football stadium and after some people started talking about what happened I figured that it was something stupid.
And how correct I was. Turns out some kid was smoking weed in the bathroom and then threw it in the trashcan after he was finished. He could've at least watered it a bit or flushed it down the toilet. But no, he had to throw it right in with all the paper towels.
What I think is ridiculous is that, it was only the trashcan that was on fire and we had seven firetrucks, three ambulances, and even a helicopter.
And I almost had my fingers bitten off by a daschund at work today, lovely pets aren't they? Daschunds supposedly have very short tempers.

I'm not dead, yet.I never have anything interesting to blog about, I just ramble a lot as if I rarely have people listen while I speak. Which is partly true since all my friends love talking...but whatever.
So Valentines is coming up and as always I'm not spending the day with anyone. I actually have work that day haha. But I hope everyone enjoys spending time with their boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse. I shall be hanging out with some dogs (I work at a vet).
I am starting to get excited and scared now that college is only a few months away. My friend and I went to visit a university that we both applied to on Wednesday and I on the drive there I was just thinking how different everything will be. I won't be able to see my parent's face everyday, or drive my brother places (which I probably won't miss), or sleep in my own comfortable room. When I go to college, I'll really be independent and won't have anyone to keep me on track. All this is overwhelming yet it's the first step to being an adult.
But, if I do get into my first choice school then I'd be with my sister, if not the worst is living in a ghetto apartment with my friend. Seriously, we also went apartment hunting Wednesday after the campus tour and just across the street from the complex the houses all around were boarded up because they got broken into so many times. And the apartment is like a few minutes walk to campus. I was thinking that if I did live there, that few minutes walk everyday can change my life. I may be kidnapped or killed in those few minutes!!
So hopefully I get accepted into my first or second choice school, so I won't have to go there. And truthfully, I don't want to room with my friend, however much I love her, I can't stand her boyfriend.

Happy Chinese (Lunar) New Year! This year is the Ox year and wow, time has seriously passed by real fast. It felt like last year that it was the year of the Sheep but it's already been 5 years. Or I just slept 5 years away, I'm not sure.Anyways, I've been really out of it these past few days so just a few minutes ago I searched Google for some jokes and wow...I love jokes, even the retarded ones. Reading them made me smile -inserts smile-
And another awesome thing happened, Gackt, the most awesomest man alive on this earth, has a new single out and I just happened to stumble on it and wow. Even if he is getting old and can't dance to save his own life, his voice is just amazing.
Last night I went to my friends birthday party/sleepover and watched Enchanted. It was a cute movie, I love how it parodies a lot of the disney movies. Well, I'm off to sleep. School tomorrow.

I have not been this happy in a while now. I just finished and submitted my college application essays and do not have to worry about them anymore. Now, I just need to sit and await the letters...But I've been stressing and procrastinating myself to death over the essays and I nearly cried after finishing the first one. I think I will go cry now.
Will edit later, I'm so tired right now. I need a nice hot shower and my bed.
Edit:: So I turned in everything I needed to on the deadline and I come home from school to find that...the deadline was pushed back to Wednesday (21st) and it makes me so mad!! If they had put up the announcement before, I could have had time to request Recommendation Letters from teachers. But no, they had to put it up afterwards and now I hate them!!
And my girlfriends and I had an interesting and amusing conversation about abstinence and sex in the car. I don't think I've ever laughed that loud or that much in front of them since the 4 years I've known them.

I finally received an e-mail from A&M that they received my application that I sent almost 2 weeks ago. But, UT and possibly the other schools still have not received my transcript yet which I sent out 3 weeks ago. On top of that, I still have not finished the two required essays to finish my application. All of that is making me very nervous and I think I'll end up going to UH (not that it's a bad school).I can't wait until all this college application stuff is over. Just one more semester of highschool than I'm free...until college. I don't see how everyone looks forward to going to college, I'm perfectly fine staying here in my little bubble.
Or maybe I'm just scared of meeting new people or going to a college where I will not know anyone at all, where I won't have any friends. But I think what I'm worried about the most is rooming with a stranger...it'd be so awkward using the bathroom O.O
Anyways, came back from the retreat Saturday afternoon and that night I went to Jandy's house and played truth/dare jenga and mafia with mostly her brother's frineds. Came home and read then slept. I was so tired from the lack of sleeping we did at retreat!
And I'm freezing my butt off right now and I don't know why my house is so freaking cold. School starts tomorrow and that is making me very annoyed and hard to please right now.

It's the start of a New Year and I'm not too excited...as usual. I'm leaving for a church retreat in about 2 hours and I still haven't finished packing! Anyways, last night, New Years Eve I didn't get drunk or partied hard like some people did since it's not my style. All I did was have dinner at Kaster's, my best friends house, then he and I walked to Lee's, my neighbors house. We (Kaster, Lee, and I) grew up together and have known each other for 11 years and my dad still gets them confused...which is sad.
And so we were at Lee's house and I watched them play Wii Brawl and then afterwards watched 30 Rock, then Kaster leaves to go watch fireworks with a girl that he's dating so it was just Lee and I. Before I would've thought it was awkward since he's not talkative, but I guess this year I've gotten used to it. Then two other friends from junior high comes over and we played Apples to Apples, watched the ball drop in New York, walked around the neighborhood and then I went home.
overall it was nothing exciting but I'm not one of those people that needs much excitement I guess. I prefer calm to crazy.
Well I have to go finish packing. I won't be back till Saturday but don't miss me too much Amber :P
