yay. I "finished" fixing my paper. I'm gonna let April look over it and tell me little things like grammar and capitalization etc, but not totally "oh this doesn't work this should be here and what do you mean by this" etc etc etc. I feel good about this essay, I worked on it a long time... And its only Saturday! I normally leave stuff like this til Sunday. And for once I actually did what I told myself to do! I wanted to do my essay today, and I /did/!! Yay! This is quite an accomplishment for me, sorry if it sounds weird ^^

Sounds like CHiBA was fun! I'm so used to weekly HiBA meetings being a lot of people, but the yokohama hiba in ninth grade (remember Jaz??) and what you just described sound cool too ^^ Small group of people, its nice... I like it when we do sharing time in HiBA in small groups, I feel more comfortable. Especially with people I know.

My cat has a new place to sit. On top of our monitor. ... it was really cute tho, looking up and seeing her little face... Then she perched on the corner, just... sat there with her eyes closed most of the time. Right now she's on the desk here, paws tucked under herself and partly sitting on my folder. She has no respect for me ^^

Last night I was talking to ricardo again, and kels came on, so I was talking to both of them. I was starting to get tired and as soon as I said that to him, he says "noooooooooooooo don't leave me!" and as I was telling kels that I had to go sleep but he wasn't letting me, Nuki came on... "oh no kels! Nuki came on! now I'll never leave..." but I was so tired I just told them all I was going and that was that. hehe. I miss Nuki!! =(

Haha now I should go. I have to take a shower (get the rest of this dye out of my hair) and take off my nail polish. Possibly read the Frederick Douglass book... =p

yeah! mikey kept saying it looked good today. He thinks I should do that every day... lol!! it was so funny tho. I walked into homeroom today (with only a little bit of eyeliner and lipstick) and people just stared at me... then some people said I looked cool and others said "lisa!! why... are you so goth??" Two types of reactions after the stare: "Wow Lisa! You look so cool!!" and "...lisa?? why are you in black? and goth?". Some people asked if this was going to be a new trend. "of /course/ not! what do you think??" Some asked if my hair was permanently dyed. "of /course/ not! What do you think??" (mikey thinks it should be permanent...) But at break April finished my make up, and I got the trenchcoat from Phil after PE. He's so nice ^^

Tell us how CHi-BA goes! :D I know you will, but i feel like responding to every paragraph that's written.

It is getting cold... was nice to have phil's coat. Otherwise I would have been cold!

that took a lot of prodding to get him to take you. and yes erin! I hope that someone takes you!

I love weekends. I hope lotsa ppl come online tonight again!

i think i write not much on a lot of topics and that results in a lot of returns being pushed... I think i need to write more about less stuff. kyahahahaha.

I'm gonna work on the blog banner now, so I will stop taking up blog space and I will do that... I can't decide what filter to use! I think i have an idea, but I'm just fiddling right now. If I finish that I might even just change the blog colors and stuff to go with it! whee!

sounds like you had fun shopping zoom! and you'll have to let me listen to Avril Lavigne sometime. (I gotta get my jarsofclay cds back too...)

I dunno if Lisa reads our blog. Hi if you do! :D She liked the present; yay! Hard work for good reward! :D

My mom just helped me dye my hair, paint my nails, and put on lipstick. For tomorrow. ^^ So now my hair is relatively black (we ran out of dye cuz I have so much hair) and my lips are slightly brighter red and my nails are black... and april is bringing black eyeliner to school for me. Then after school today I asked phil if I could borrow one of his trenchcoats ^^ asked him to bring it in the morning. He said he would, and he gave me a really weird look. bwahaha. Asked Neal to remind phil to bring it... i hope i hope i hope! It's gonna be so much fun. I just know Mary is gonna say "Wow Lisa... You're in black! *aheeheehee!* /why/ would you dress up in black? its so... not you!" lol... Don't worry zoom, I'll bring my camera.. then I can get my pics developed and show you ones of Kelly! :D and of many miscellanious things.

Hope cHi-BA goes well tomorrow zoom! Hope that God blesses your time with people! And I hope that Jordan writes to you.

I have to do hw now... its 11:35... oops. *innocent look* I didn't waste my whole afternoon and evening talking to friends and working on the blog banner and doing "black" stuff! Not me... *laughs at herself*

Good job finishing your course Erin! That's awesome ^^ I didn't like World History. But then again, I don't like any history... US history is starting to get really annoying tho. Glad you finished tho! gambatte with the rest of your work, hope it goes quickly so you can grad with us! :D

oooh my goodness I just spent so much freakin time on this... let's hope it prints right! (this is lisa's bday present I'm talking about) *sigh* I hope I hope I hope...
Let's see. I /highly/ doubt Lisa will be reading this before tomorrow, if she has any sense at all.. So I'll tell you what Jaz and I got her. We bought a little sketch book cuz she loves to draw stuff, and we thought about putting pics of neal on the front. So I emailed neal and told him to send me all the pics he had of himself to me, and he did. Demo, making the cover... I changed ideas. So I have the front as this spongy effect gray/black with "LISA" in blue spongy effect and cool lighting effects, and there are two possibilities for the back. One is the same background with "Happy Birthday, Love, Jasmine and Lisa" in blue with lighting, and the other is a pic of Neal from the side with "risa, otanjyoubiomedetougozaimasu. ai to risa" in hiragana/kanji on it. ^^ I'm gonna print it off onto sticker paper and then with Jaz decide which back cover to use... so now I must print. This sticker paper is expensive so I hope I don't screw up.
*while printing* looks like things are going ok... its slow because I put it on "best" quality. *sigh* parents will get mad that I'm up this late doing /graphics/... Good art takes time tho! sheesh... I'm more frustrated with myself, dunno why.

eee im tired... grr. arg. Yes last printing! looks good. I shall pack up then and go to bed now... night!

I finally finished a report on the Cold War... which means I'm over with World History (which was actually one of my 10th grade courses.:P ) I'm happy~ that's one less course to worry about. :D hahahaha (I'm laughing to much) what else did I do today... umm... I went to ballet! I had aches and pains all over my body. I must be getting old or something! sometimes I'm in a lot of pain! grr. I may be going into Tokyo on Saturday. a mother/daughter outing. hehe^^ we haven't gone to Tokyo together for a long time so I hope it works out. Should be fun. and then the 4th is a national holiday! I'm trying to find someone to hang out with. don't wanna waste a completely good national holiday right?! lol. well...

I hope this works... its almost 11 and I'm just starting. :P I didn't do hw after school and I went to HiBA, so now I'm a little stuck ^^ :P oh well, I'll do math later. bwahahaa.... I have the weekend to catch up... arg this is not a good mindset. oh well... LOL!

I love Photoshop! Getting into it again...

Senior pics came! At least the Matsu prints... So I got to see the pics April took, the ones where I was in some of them... They turned out nicely! And I got to see Jay's, Mikey's, and Ricardo's! All nice. =D I am gonna take senior pics with Brent me thinks...

Ricardo came to HiBA tonight! yay. and when I pointed that out to him, he claimed it was because I wasn't gonna be online tonight, and he came because of me! *grin* he's... interesting...

and now I'm sire to David too. Jon's bro ^^ lol!

I don't wanna do my homework... Editing a paper and math. Not much, but I don't wanna do it... I wanna work on my website and the banner...

Ricardo put his head on my shoulder today and April jumped up and started whacking him...

Should I make my journal here?

oh! my friend Jillian made a blog! She saw me updating in study hall and I explained what it was to her, and today she was having trouble doing stuff so I helped her with it... its jilly-pat.blogspot.com. only one entry up ^^ lol, but she's a great girl and I think it'd be fun to read her journal when she starts posting regularly.

hehe Jaz, we must do these with our siblings later. When we graduate... ^^ Blog is so nice!! Maybe I'll do this with my whole family... and another with Brent. :) Or email... that works too, lol...

*works on her hw...* I took an hour long nap today! I get home and after relaxing a little I did some hw, then let myself go to sleep... *Lisa! Supper!* "eh?" (gets up and looks sleepy when she gets downstairs) *oh, were you sleeping? (to mom) give her about five minutes,she'll be awake then...* and he was right. :)

Do I write too much about nothing? I feel like I write too much... I love this thing tho! hehe... I need another blog. whooha. it's not like people comment on my journal entries all that much anyway, wouldn't make too much of a difference I don't think... Hm. doshiyo!!!

whee! I am sire to "kazu"!! not Kaz, but one of the homeschoolers... I am a mosquito. I hope other ppl become my victims ^^ this is a fun game!

hehe I didn't finish my math but i tried... I got "past" the annoying problems... anyway. So its 10:35 and I need to go to bed, but after I put my essay up on brinkster so I can print it at school for other ppl to edit. I'm not gonna print here at home; its too noisy.

Now I have one class less of homework! I have PE instead of Bible. I'll still go nuts tho...

I'm seriously considering starting a personal blog here... putting up past entries from lj in an archives page on brinkster maybe. This is so much easier to update... I like it better. And you can customize your page look! Ne, I should do that... But people can't /comment/ on this tho... gar. oh well...

Dad came back from the States! He walked in and had a huge smile on his face ^^ He missed us... but he had a good time there. Spent time with his Dad and siblings and aunt and uncle... lots of family time. And he brought me Reese's Bites! peanut butter balls with chocolate around the outside. yum! lol...

haha I have to go do the essay-on-brinkster thing now!

honto zumi....i don't know what's wrong with me!? I'm getting plenty of sleep so I really don't have an excuse for being tired. but I've just been drowsy for the past few weeks. I can fall asleep like anytime of the day. maybe it's lack of exercise or something. I never feel completely awake.
well I'm just kinda taking a break from my school work atm. wrote an email... can't believe how long it's been since I actually sat down and typed a long email like that!!! hmmm... lisa just signed on but dissapeared. this CD i'm listening to is weird... but I like it^^ hehe. ok... I'm just writing really random stuff here. hamster! yes I need a hamster... or a mouse maybe. mice are nice cuz they don't bite. but they get cancer really easy. (speaking from experience here)
I'm probably boring everyone to death so I shall leave it here for now. (^.^)

hehe today I walk into study hall, put my bag down, and one of the senior guys in my study hall (and math class too) says "you know, I've decided I'm gonna marry you." (i start laughing) *ok!* "nah I was just kidding. ... I'm gonna marry my dog. Her name is Chizu." how weird is that... first April and Ricardo are fighting over me, then I'm Ricardo's secret girlfriend (and his woman), and then this guy outta the blue says he's gonna marry me... oh and before, jay... "lisa, will you go out with me?" (blank look) *ok...* "hehe just kidding..." lol! this is really weird...

Erin gambatte in your school work! I know how sucky school is... only Zoom is past this... iina. only less than two years now! yay!

ooo so many people stayed up so late last night. One girl didn't even go to sleep at all, and a lot of people got one or two hours of sleep (I got four or five)... But in English class we were going over some of the questions we had for homework. Miss Long asks Phil to share his answers... so he read one, and when she asked him to explain he said "I dont know. I'm only half concious right now... seriously I'm at like 50%..." and the whole class started laughing. Tyler has been falling asleep in every class now... and he went to bed at 1 ish. Demo, he's not used to staying up that late like everyone else is... I know how he feels though. Do that too many times and you'll be falling asleep in class too. *rolls eyes*

aha.... I have to go now. get a hamster and name it... name it... tommy! :D no. name it TOAST. ^^ tooooast....

(I can't believe we've been dancing together since we were 4!! lol!) omg... it went on forever. I was having major trouble keeping my eyes open. actually the friend I can with had fallen asleep... some of those dances. it's just like a repitition of the same thing over and over again!! neal... I forgot his b-day. I'll have to mail him later.
