I randomly remembered seeing this meme in [info]the_demon_yuber's journal a long time ago. I told myself I was going to try it eventually, but I kind of forgot >.> So, I'm going to revive it now =D

1. Post about something that made you happy today, even if it’s just a small thing.
2. Do this every day for a week without fail.
3. Tag 8 of your friends to do the same. (Just take it if you want it XD)


Let's see... it's kind of early this morning, but I had that baked frozen pizza you get at HEB (grocery store) which I REALLY REALLY love. I don't know why, but I think I like that pizza more than brand names ^^;;; PLUS it's one of the few foods that taste better cold... as odd as that sounds XD


Not related to the meme since this was done yesterday, my mom and I had a lot of fun making sushi yesterday. She couldn't wrap the seaweed around the stuff tightly after trying like 5 times, and then I came and apparently got it right on the first time? It was really quite funny lol.

When you've got a library card! *shot* Yes I watched a LOT of PBS when I was little and some in high school Cyberchase *COUGH* But anyways, as you've probably already guessed, I've been going to the library a lot now, and it's not because I've rekindled my love for reading (although I hope to do that this summer too XD). I've started volunteering AT the library! Long story short, job searching sucks and failed, volunteering three times a week at the library to stay sane and not bored XD It's not as boring as most people say. Although I'm just shelving books, I lose track of time while I'm working. My parents give me rides there and back because I haven't gotten my full license yet, but they actually have to tap me on the shoulder and go, "Hey. You've already volunteered over your prescribed two hours" lol. I got assigned to the kids section, but it was an absolute mess when I got there. With a lot of hard work over the past two days though, I've cleaned it up, realphabetized, and... stuff. YAY! Being a librarian seems like a lot of fun. I don't think I'd want to do it as my main job, but you meet a lot of nice people, learn how to alphabetize without singing your ABCs every time you pick up a book, etc.

Today I also got a new haircut. It's summer and the long hair I had wasn't really helping me, so I cut it particularly shorter today. It's much closer to my old length than I've let it become all year, but still long enough so that it didn't look like I had an afro or look like a porcupine on the head. I might post a before and after later if I can find a before picture, as I totally wasn't planning on getting it that short until I sat down in the barber chair.

We renewed our cell phone plan today for 2 years, which is much more feasible now that I'm sure I'm staying in Texas. Thus... *throws confetti* NEW PHONE! I loved my old one, but (1) I filled it with too many text messages and (2) it kept freezing on me for some time; thus, I think it was about right for a new one.

Finally beat Super Mario Galaxy. Bowser was unexpectedly easy... then again I found the game as a whole unexpectedly easy lol. My brother very unbashfully disagrees with me, saying Super Mario Galaxy is WAY harder than Super Mario 64, despite him only playing the two easiest dungeons. *shrugs* Maybe I was just too young to understand Super Mario 64's mechanics... which means Zelda Ocarina of Time was technically ridiculously easy because I could play that? NAH they're just different types of games. Can't really compare them like that lol.

I'm getting SO excited about Trinity <3 I got an email about joining the journalism department, which I'm totally gonna jump on. My journalism teacher told me that I still could, and I definitely want to continue. Newspaper class was so much fun ^_^

Oh and I need to find a new place to use my laptop. The table I'm using curves, and it's hurting my arm. Okay random end to this entry because I'm hungry. BYE! *waves*

I've kind of come to a realization when it comes to my movie tastes. I don't mind violence and scary movies. I can usually watch those without wimping out, but when a movie hits moral values (lying, cheating, and how that all comes back to slap you in the face)... that's when I don't want to watch anymore o_o I know all movies have to have some sort of conflict before the resolution, but I don't really like that climatical climax where everything is spat back into the face of the protagonist, even though I know everything will probably be all right. Yeah just food for thought lol.

Super Mario Galaxy is EXTREMELY fun! I thought I probably wouldn't like it too much because not only do I suck at platformers, but I also sucked at Super Mario 64, but I love it. The difficulty isn't too hard, and most missions aren't too easy either. Almost every galaxy so far has had its own sort of special "gimmick" for lack of a better word, and it's fun figuring that out. I'm in the Bedroom Dome right now and have around 50 stars collected. I can't wait to play some more ^_^

Bah, why do I not want to work on Xeno Star anymore? I was so motivated for the past two weeks and now I'm just like "BLAH!" I have been practicing viola a lot though!

The water was out this morning. It was really weird cause I had to use bottled water to brush my teeth and stuff. The water's back now, but it has this white thing running through it and isn't as clear as it used to be. I guess that's okay since we don't drink it, but it's still kind of weird.

Shugo Chara... *headdesk* lol. It's so magical girl (and kind of reminds me of Sailor Moon) but I like it XDDDDDDDDDDD Oh well. At least I found a new anime to watch! I was kind of running out of subbed Hello! Morning episodes >.>

Lol this morning I woke up at 10:30 and got a text from my best friend 15 minutes later asking me what did I plan to do for Father's Day. When I told her, I was still trying to figure it out, she was over 10 minutes later saying she'd help me bake a cake!

I had never baked anything before, nor was I in the kitchen that often, so a lot of that morning involved scavenging around for bowls, stirring spoons, and other items of the sort. Halfway through mixing, we were like "OMG WE DON'T HAVE ICING!" so we speed stirred, put the batter in the fridge, and ran to the Dollar General on the other side of the field XD At the same time, we bought some chips to much on after we got back.

When we got back, I was sweating horribly (yes I am THAT out of shape apparently lol) so I turned the AC on blast and stuff before we stuck the batter in the oven. Our genius plan while we waited 35 minutes for the cake to bake? Eat hot dogs and chips and watch Pokemon the First Movie! Neither of us had watched that in a long time, but we used to be really really REALLY x7 big Pokemon nerds so we were pretty excited and dorked out. 35 minutes is basically enough time to watch the Pikachu's Vacation short episode. So cuuuuuute! And weird... BUT CUTE! Now that we're older, we had a lot of commentary on stuff that didn't make sense, but hey, IT'S POKEMON! IT DOESN'T HAVE TO MAKE SENSE lol.

Timer goes off, scrambling ensues. We realize that we didn't remember to open the oven vent!? Luckily nothing turned black and the cake seemed fine. It rose into a nice dome-ish shape. YAY FOR RISING! After it cooled for it a bit, it was then time to add the chocolate icing <3 We grabbed a spoon and Char just dumped a HUMONGOUS glob on there. I was like "DAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG!" I think that was enough for most of the cake after we spread it. My dad didn't come home this afternoon, so we couldn't yell "SURPRISE!" together, but not to worry! It's sitting in my fridge, waiting for my dad to return tonight.

Afterwards, we started talking about games including Final Fantasy. We saw some weird tech demo on FF7 and freaked out only to find out it was an over-hyped rumor T_T Then I showed her FF8 and Xenogears, both of which she hadn't played, and she became excited about those games lol. She really wants to expand Xeno Star to cover Gears now XD I also lent her my copy of Persona 4 and she's REALLY enjoying it. Yay for best friends! They are so awesome! (But none as awesome as mine <3)

I hope my mom doesn't get mad at me for baking a cake O_o ... BYES!

My NOSB trip to Laguna Madre got canceled. Not that big of a deal. It just means I'll be here this weekend and have extra time to read my driving manual and probably get some more Sonic Unleashed time squeezed in between RP tags and working on Xeno Star.

First off, I seriously find something new I like about Hello! Project every day! Originally when I watched the Elder Club graduation, I skipped over every song I didn't really care about including Melon Kinebi, Tanpopo, and Pucchimoni. Today though, I went back to listen to those three groups. I had read that not only Mini Moni but also Tanpopo and Pucchimoni was going to be revived. So, I started reading about the latter two and sampling their songs. I actually really like their songs! They weren't as plentiful as Mini Moni in songs but between Tanpopo/Pucchimoni/Mini Moni, a lot of different sides of JPop and Hello! Project were shown. Melon Kinebi I just happened to also watch just for kicks lol (they're not bad either).

In Sonic Unleashed, I'm slowly but surely getting all the medals. I think I'm at 80-something sun medals and 60-something moon medals. I still have a ways to go obviously. I'm kind of curious to see if I'll ever be able to get S ranks in Eggmanland (especially in Day stage. Dang that one's hard! In all other speed courses, I got S ranks after practicing a bit tries. Shamar gave me quite a bit of trouble until I realized I had missed about half the shortcuts, but it took me a lot of practice just to get a B rank on Eggmanland. Let's see if I can make it! ^_^

RPs are going very well! [info]damned CCS party finally got un-threadlocked and moving again. Only problem is that nightshift is almost over. Even with the indefinite extension, I'm not sure how much else we'll be able to do. I am happy that she found a stirring spoon to use as a twirling self-defense stick though XD [info]parameter_rpg is picking up again despite what the timeline shows. Everyone's just been back-dating a lot (particularly the Turks, and that's most of our active players) so let's hope we continue to revive ^_^ [info]realityshifted is really nice. I love the chats and everyone's so friendly. Plus, I get to just toss Wyatt in whenever I want. Basically it's "I'm bored." "Wanna have an angel guy drop in?" "SURE!" It's nice to have such a laid back RP =D

Xeno Star's Episode II section is slowly coming together. Assuming the E.S. and Battle Essentials rewrites won't take as long, I'm getting pretty close to completion! Marie says she's still interested in helping, but she seems really busy as of late with her job. Not that I blame her of course! I want one of those myself XD But yeah other than that, I think the other three staff members are basically retired. MOMO is going on with her life. Link has dropped off the face of the planet. Chin Soon is managing his own site which has basically become the hub for all European Koei games (VERY impressive. I still can't believe he once worked as part of my staff XD)

And finally the slice of life which has been missing from my journal as of late! I got a really nice phone call from my best friends today. We've been texting a lot over the summer, but we haven't talked or hung out at all. Our schedules never really lined up. Anyways, we just started talking about how we weren't going to the same school and how we're going to be so sad without each other, despite having schools literally across the street from each other XD To those college students and high school graduates, do you ever miss your high school friends? Do you lose contact if you don't go to the same school? Man that would suck if I lost contact with them (Dang it I wish the song didn't switch to Hare Ame Nochi Suki. It's making me all sad >.>)

Biggest post I've made in a long time huh? See you later! ^^;;;

So for the last few days, I've been playing Sonic Unleashed on the Wii! Spyro was decent, but the game was messed up and kept freezing so I traded it in for Sonic. I haven't played Sonic since my Gamegear days (which is when I was about 4... which is before I had N64. God I'm old XD), but I thought I'd give it a chance.

Turns out, it was a good bet! I absolutely LOVE Sonic Unleashed. I think I'm on the final dungeon already, so the main arc is rather short, but there's tons to do on the side. It's so different to play Sonic in 3D. I really really like it! My mom, on the other hand, said she felt sick watching me play lol. Like most Sonic games, half of it is built on speed courses. However, the other half has turned it into an action RPG-ish game where Sonic becomes a Werehog (hedgehog + werewolf = werehog) and you fight a bunch of enemies. There's also a lot of platforming which I've heard people compared to Tomb Raider/Prince of Persia etc. It's really quite fun, but it took me a long time to get used to the Wii engine for that portion. Fighting involves moving the controller and nunchuck around, but for those that hate the Wii controler + nunchuck combo, classic and GameCube controller options are available as well! I also scream a lot at the TV when I'm playing this game because I really suck at platformer games. It's really rather funny to me and I can only imagine how strange my parents must think I am when they see me screaming at the TV XD Okay well screaming is probably an exaggeration but you guys get the point lol. Towns are kind of lazily done, but it doesn't detract from the gameplay value IMO. For anyone with a Wii/PS2, I recommend you try out this game if this sounds interesting =D Obviously, I haven't played the completely different 360/PS3 versions but I'm sure that one's fun too!

Taking another trip with NOSB this weekend to Laguna Madre (spelling?) but I will be back midday Sunday. For those that I have numbers of, I'll probably text you guys if I ever get bored (i.e. waiting a gagillion years at Joe's Crab Shack for food to arrive >.>). Bye for now!

Is my favorite photography pose lol. So yes, I graduated last Saturday. I don't have much to say now that it's so far away. I'm still looking for work but worst case scenario, I'll be volunteering at the public library. I finally got another game for the Wii: Spyro Dawn of the Dragon. I loved the first 3 Spyros on PS1 so I decided to give this one a shot! Uhhhh kind of a bad idea XD I dunno maybe it'll grow on me but right now, I'm so confused on the controls. That and I have a habit of playing with the nunchuk up and and locks Spyro in "guard mode" >.>

My journal is now friends only. JUST KIDDING XD Basically I thought of dorks because orchestra people are called "Orch Dorks" and I just got back from orchestra banquet. It was AMAZINGLY fun. I danced so much. I'm glad I went to prom. I think that loosened me up and has helped me conquer my fear of dancing in public. Of course, this made me completely sweaty afterwards, but that was easily remedied by a nice shower once I got home. Now I'm SQUEAKY CLEAN! *points to current song* Shabondama. Get it? Shabondama? (Shabondama = soap bubbles XD)

Sorry that was corny ^^;;; Anyways I got there around 5, which is an hour early, to help set up as an officer. Low and behold, I was the only one there until about 5:30. At this point though, I didn't really care. In fact, I EXPECTED to be the only one there, so I just helped my orchestra teacher and the parents set up while the other officers were... MIA? The school's REALLY hot during non-school days cause the AC's off. Of course, the only place the AC was on was the cafeteria we had the banquet in, and in there it was freezing. I was appreciative of the blasting AC during the dance, but before, as I was announcing superlatives, I was totally shivering. XD I got a lot of superlatives and I'm really happy for those ^_^ The last three years, I won "Best Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior. However, this year, the "Best Senior" went to another person, and I couldn't agree more that that person deserved it more than I did. Bravo mystery man X, bravo! (What? I'm not gonna announce the name online XD). Afterwards, we had a slideshow and a dance (oh and dinner somewhere mixed in... *isn't going to take the time to rewrite all this* lol). Like I said, the dancing was amazing fun!

I'm coming up on my last few days of high school. Man I'm gonna miss everything about high school: the friends, orchestra, the other organizations, getting locked in the cafeteria XD. High schoolers never really appreciate how nice high school is until the end of their senior years I think. That's what I've noticed about my fellow students recently.

Ridiculously nostalgic like an old man,

Okay this might seem dysfunctional but that's only cause this post culminates my thoughts over the last few days.

First off, I joined the Dreamwidth bandwagon XD My Dreamwidth is buono. I still dunno what I want to do with it.

Rant T_T )

I've been listening to some more Hello! Project including Berryz Kobo's new single. The song itself is alright, but the video is kind of disturbing me. It seems like the Berryz girls are all hitting on the bus attendant in the music video? O_o Morning Musume's B-side track 3, 2, 1 Breakin' Out is pretty decent. I've been listening to it on repeat since last Friday. I also got my All-State CD this year. It sounds freaking AWESOME if I do say so myself XD I'm gonna miss the All-State experience. No other music experience will ever come close to how much I've enjoyed it.

Last Saturday, I went with my National Ocean Science Bowl team (or NOSB team) to Sea World, a theme park. Unfortunately, while we were there, it started raining REALLY REALLY hard. I came home, and the next day, I started feeling sick. I think it got worse today. I'm gonna call it a night early after dinner. Byes!

Dear Governor Perry,

I do not need to take the fitness gram to know that I am not physically fit XD

Thanks,
Joe

Lol so yes, we took the fitness gram Thursday which involved the pacer Test, trunk lift, push ups, sit ups, and shoulder stretches. Afterwards, my legs turned to jelly, and Ashley and I were like "AHH PAIN" as we were going up the stairs ^^;;;; Unfortunately, another side effect is feeling ridiculously sore for the next 48 hours >.>

Evening With Strings, what I've been out for for most of the week, was fun. Basically, once a year, every orchestra student in the district from elementary to high school comes together one night and plays a song together. This year, it was Phantom of the Opera. I kept messing up here and there, but the nice thing about having that many people is that it covers it up when you make a mistake XD It was also kind of sad for me, cause it's gonna be my last year. I got the plaque and stuff for being a 4-year orchestra member in high school. *tear* Last up is the Senior Solo and Farewell Concert, but AP exams and prom are before that. I'm gonna need tissues for that last concert, as corny as that sounds XD

UIL Academic regionals tomorrow. See you guys soon!

Last night, I went to my school's annual Battle of the Bands to help volunteer and sell hot dogs through my local orchestra! At first, I was planning on coming home at like 8-ish after volunteering for like 2 hours but that didn't happen lol. When I went after school, the orchestra president (who was the organizer for the orchestra hot dog booth) was spazzing out because she didn't have enough people. Then after she grabbed a couple people, she had too many people. It's all very confusing really lol. So basically what happened was I stayed after school and stayed until 9:40-ish when we finished cleaning up and stuff. The president had to leave early and was like, "Joe, can you stay the whole time and watch everything?" *dies* There goes that 8:00 PM plan XD We sold out of all our hot dogs and we made about a 60 dollar profit. That's pretty good for our fundraising history. Oh and the power cords sucked lol. I think it kept getting overloaded so the hot dog cooker turned off without us noticing. So it basically took us 45 minutes just to get the cooker working lol.

Thursday night, I had to scramble to try and get my English project finished. I had finished my precis and everything, but I had yet to actually figure out the logistics of how I planned on presenting the Dalai Lama's position. My teacher liked my presentation so... hopefully I get a good grade XD

Hello Project Elder Club graduation concert videos are up. It's so... nostalgic. I'm so glad Otome Gumi and Sakura Gumi came back together for one more song (Ai no Sono and Hare Ame Nochi Suki respectively). I really liked those two subgroups. Sakura Gumi wasn't the same without Aibon, but at the same time, that let the other Sakura Gumi members really show how much their voices have matured like Kamei! Ice Cream Musume also debuted live at that concert with Koi Suru... something something. I'm sorry I can't remember the Japanese. Their debut song will always be Lian Ai Deng Chang for me lol. Go youtube "Hello! Pro Award 2009" to watch the concert ^^

Finally, Buono! newest single "My Boy" is available for listening! I really like it. The music video is very cute, although IMO the dancing leaves much to be desired. If you watch the entire video, you facepalm at the end, but everyone should go listen to it!

I've been working on my English project this weekend mostly where you analyze a famous philosopher and present his/her theories to the class. I chose the 14th and current Dalai Lama. His philosophies are so ideal, it's really pretty inspiring. It's just... I'm kind of pessimistic about people in general. It just doesn't seem like everyone would strive for the ultimate compassion he advocates, and because of that, those who do would be kind of stomped upon. Other than that, I'm supposed to take on the persona of the Dalai Lama, so I went to Blockbuster and rented this documentary on the Dalai Lama. What I found though was that it helped me more in understanding his philosophies as opposed to understanding his demeanor. I don't know if I'll be a good Dalai Lama for a day in English but I'll try my best lol. After all, I need a good grade after that 50 on the reading quiz anyways (yikes XP).

On a side note, I think I need a new Hello Project icon. I mean Konkon is awesome, but the way I cropped her seems odd with one eye only half cut off XD Also, I listen to Hare Ame Nochi Suki WAAAAAAAAAAY too much... considering I can probably sing the whole song by myself now and start in the right key without a reference pitch lol.

Well... my Latin teacher gave us back a buttload of papers today which is good. We never get papers back XD My friend and I just find her grading odd though. Sometimes, she'll write translation corrections on them or none at all, but somehow she always docks points off. Whenever we have questions on the translation, we ask her and she goes, "Hmm I'm not really sure. I'll tell you guys another time." Then we get it back with a correction on that section and we get a 90 for that? o_O Oh well. I guess it's not that bad so I'll just have to suck it up and get a good grade on the test.

Buono's new single comes out April 29th. I'm listening to the TV preview for the ending of Shugo Chara and I like it. It's different but it still has a distinct style which is Buono~

I think that's about it at the moment. See you guys soon!

So yes, my mom (and thus indirectly me) have watched a lot of movies this week. Well okay two movies TECHNICALLY isn't a lot, but for my standards, it is XD

The first movie we watched was Slumdog Millionaire. At first, I thought it was just gonna be one of those movies only the academy liked, but after I finished it, I was going "GO GO GO!" and "DON'T TRUST HIM!" and "OMG LATIKA HURRY UP!" It had really good pacing, the story was interesting, and I loved it so much. Plus, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire is already a fun game show to watch XD I HIGHLY recommend it to you guys, especially if you like star-crossed lovers and childhood loves and love at first sight stories~

The second movie I watched was Seven Pounds. I kind of sort of liked it, but the whole idea behind the movie TOTALLY bothered me. Furthermore, the ending sucked. It might float your boat. It didn't float mine =/

I can't wait until Buono's new single comes out ^_^ Talk to you guys later!

Aibon, please stop getting into scandals. I love hearing you sing but if you keep doing this, no agency is going to accept you. K thanks~

I watched Twilght, the movie, the other day and it's okay. I found it enjoyable to watch, but the main two actors bothered me. I know this is gonna sound harsh, but it didn't seem like they knew how to act. It was so weird watching them with like such a flat demeanor most of the time. Other than that though, I liked how it didn't dwell too long. Even though it's obvious from the outset from all the rabid fans, they don't spend an eternity on the "Oh right we're vampires!" thing. It just moved from one thing to another at a good pace IMO.

Gotta go finish my essay now. Bye guys!

Dang it! It's a Bad Bad World's made me like SO sad every time I've seen it: the first time it showed on TV, the two or three times it's been rerunned, and just now when I wrapped up my Charmed Season 6 rewatch T_T

Spring Break ends today. For the first holiday in who knows how long, I have been SO FREAKING productive XD I've finished most of my English assignments up to April, worked on getting back into RPs cleaned my room, practiced my viola, reorganized my school stuff, made icons, and the list goes on and on but I won't bore you with it lol.

Oh and v-u-den's pretty good. So far, I'm only listening to Hitorijime on repeat since I absolutely adore that song, but I'll move on to the other songs soon and relay my full opinion of the group ^_^

Today's update was kind of short, but I think I'm starting to swing back into blogging after that interim period I had with little activity for the past few months. Thanks for coming and I hope to see you again soon!

(Brownie points for the person that can identify where "Thanks for coming and I hope to see you again soon!" is from XD)
