helloooo!! so basically, i'm supposed to be watching arthur right now. i know, i'm a total loser and i really need to get rid of this arthur infatuation. it's like everday i come home and go on the computer or watch murder she wrote with my mom and then at 4, i always get off the computer and watch arthur. and then, when arthur is over, i do my homework and study and usually i finish before 6.

so today, channel 11 is being lame so i decided to update my xanga instead. anyway, i guess i'll start off with lyf retreat! it was actually a really good experience. much better than i thought. i guess lately i've been a little... negative towards lyf. but lyf retreat was really good and kinda changed what i thought about it. i looveedd my small group (haha tutupoo, sheekata, woomsheewa, hakachee and um i forget karen's name) even though they were extremely ADD at times.. but thats okay :). the speaker was alright. i mean, i really liked his message just the way he presented it wasn't exactly thrilling? but who am i to say. he was a nice guy and i feel sorta bad cause there's this huge culture rift. you know? the games were interesting... i think we would have been better off playing capture the flag or dodgeball or something. i mean, its not like you have to do the real capture the flag. you could add some twists to it! thats how you get games like gold rush or something. and same with dodgeball! do you know how many different versions there are of dodgeball? anyway, overall it was really good. i'm glad i was a peer leader but i didn't feel like i did much since my group was already really close. i guess it made the job easier? i'm not sure. the skits were funny. my group and pat's group wanted to rebel and fight the system so we sorta combined haha. and i totally thought we could make a poem too but i guess not. its okaky though. ours came out pretty good. too bad there aren't too many avid arthur watchers cause if there were, everyone would get it. if you didn't understand it, WATCH MORE ARTHUR. my favorite though would have to be christine cho's group. but her group always has the best skits. yep. overall lyf retreat was really good.

this weekend i watched 'because i said so' with mandy moore... yeah, it sucked. it was not good at all. the mom reallllly annoyed me. i'm so glad my mom is not like her. and i worked on a history project with ouda which was interesting. we came up with a few ideas only to find out we couldn't do it today. but that's alright. its a good thing we didn't get too far. and then church yesterday. that was okay. sunday school was miserable. sometimes i think i ask for it, but seriously. boys are stupid. throw rocks at them. they took my shoes yesterday and i had no idea where they were so to get them back i had be like "do you know where those shoes have been?" and they were all like eww so then i got them back. obviously those shoes have been no where. i never wear them. mmm then the hums came over and i feel really bad when people come over my house cause the only things to do are: watch tv, go on the computer, or play video games. there is NOTHING exciting about where i live.

mm OH so i got a job! i work at ginger tree, which is a chinese takeout restaurant. why does everyone laugh when i tell them? i mean, i know why dave sumaya laughs. its cause he thinks i'm a silly asian and i'm working at a silly asian restaurant.. but then others laugh because they're like "i can't imagine you working in such an unhappy place..." i mean, its not THAT unhappy... it only is when that mean woman is working. but the manager's wife is sooo nice. and so is the manager! haha he tried to speak cantonese with me.. it was really bad i didnt understand him at all. the food is good. well actually, iv'e only tried the general tso's chicken and egg drop soup haha. the hours aren't so bad. i only work from 5-8 or 5-7:30 3 days a week.

letsee. school is alright. my favorite class right now is gym cause i'm doing archery. all we do is like sit there when we're not shooting so i have to do homework. and i hang out with cool people. haha actually they're really weird. but i hang out with this senior named mike, and a junior named eric. i knew mike from last year in gym so it wasn't just random. he's really cool except he's a creeep. he's working at witches woods and his makeup is soo creeepy!! and eric, wow i admire that kid so much. he's training to join the army and he's not one of those people that are doing just because they want a scholarship or something, no, he really wants to fight in iraq. not too many people are willing to do that. i think it's really cool but at the same time i'm scared for him. he's gonna finish his senior year and then go to iraq the summer right after. yeah. i also like gym cause we have pretty intense conversations that get heated. but only when ally's there though. but i still love her. yep. i love gym class.

okay well i better go do my homeworkkk. haha wow i'm pretty bad at making short entries. btw, does anyone know any good books to read? preferably historical fiction (about girls in the 1800s) or historical fiction/fantasy, or romantic comedy. thanks!

hahahaha ok so i've been procrastinating for like the past few hours by looking back on my old entries. this xanga  is more than 3 years old!! and so i didn't delete ANY of my old entries. i was just looking back on them and man, i was such a dork. why didn't anyone tell me how dorky i was?!?!? what a loser! i updated like every day! wow i had like no life back then. but it was exciting to just reminisce about the "good ol' days" (or not so good...) but you know what i mean jellybean. haha ok i really need to get started on homework. i have an algebra quiz tomorrow on exponents and i hate them.
