It was when Nora first came to Oakwood. Of course, this story was told by Nora. I wasn't even there when she first came.

So, Nora was at lunch and Matthew (Elaine's husband) came to her and asked her, "What grade are you in?"

She told me she simply said "I am a teacher", but I wonder what Matthew's reaction was like.

2009-05-30T06:57:00.000-07:00

Kevin's mom was here. She was talking to Nora. Kevin looked scared, scaring me.

2009-05-29T16:28:00.000-07:00

Uhhhh

I have a problem.
I uploaded so many pictures that Ican't blog anymore pictures on this blog.
I will either erase some posts or get a new domain.

2009-05-29T16:24:00.000-07:00

I thought Katherine looked like Dora, but I didn't tell her for I thought she would get offensed.

But today, she said "I love Doraaa. She's so cute". Then I could finally tell her "Dora looks like you". I was going to suggest her that she should get a haircut so that she can look even more like Dora, but she moved away. I will ask her next time.

2009-05-29T16:23:00.001-07:00

People usually look more intelligent when they wear glasses but I found an exception.

"Do you wear glasses?" asked Katherine.
"Yeah", said Pete coldly.

2009-05-29T16:20:00.000-07:00

My great grandfather was in KKK.

So you have blood of KKK.

Yeah, but I am not KKK.

I see. Your great grandfather should have left you the thing KKK wears

Yeah, then I can sell them for good money.

Really?

No, I just made it up hahahah.

2009-05-29T16:13:00.000-07:00

The guy, Anna's group and Charlie's group made a trail for, sent everyone in the groups letters of appreciation. The funny thing is that Rebecca who wasn't even there got the letter only because she is in Charlie's group. She probably had no idea why a random guy was aprreciating her.

2009-05-29T16:10:00.000-07:00

"Ah I hate pictures" Hannah Emery said. If she and I were little closer, I could have made a joke, something like "Pictures hate you too".

2009-05-29T15:38:00.000-07:00

"You have holes on your pants" Ron said to me gently.
"Is that a joke?" I said.
"Yeah" he murmured.

I found his joke lame. I thought it'd be a type of joke that only elders would make. But I was wrong, Ryan made the same joke. I was disappointed deeply since the level of lamenees of his joke was, to me, poignant, considering he's much younger than Ron.

2009-05-29T15:34:00.000-07:00

I needed a frame for the secret poster I made, so I went up to the maintenance building with Ana Oreans, who sort of helped me making the poster. Well, we could have bought one but the cutomized frame costed at least 100 something dollars according to Ana, so we decided to build one.

Chris was a big help. I want to acknowledge him in the poster for making the frame for us, but the poster is already printed so I guess I can't.

2009-05-29T15:26:00.000-07:00

Geesu was showing what he, jinhcen and hochul have made (I don't know what to call it. It basically extends the range of the wave, emitted from the wireless modem).
Using their device, a regular laptop can catch a wireless signal from Raegan dormat the tennis court.

2009-05-29T15:20:00.000-07:00

It is either that Lindsey is strong or Mariah is light. I think the former is little more plausible though. Alex said Lindsey's a beast.

2009-05-29T15:18:00.001-07:00

That's Jooyeob drawn by Jongbum.

And hat's Jongbum drawn by Jooyeob. Both of them look uglier than they actually are.

2009-05-29T15:10:00.000-07:00

Dave was the only one who actually paid for a cinnamon bun yesterday. I gave out some and eventually removed all of them when I figured they are too doughy.

2009-05-29T14:51:00.000-07:00

I spotted a spider floating in the air. I wanted to run my arm over the spider so that it would fall but then I was afraid it would land on my arm. I am not pathologically afraid of spiders but you know they are not pleasant either.

2009-05-29T14:44:00.000-07:00

It's funny that Dylon and I exclusively borrowed existentialists' quotes, and that we are put next to each other due to alphabeticalism.

2009-05-29T14:38:00.000-07:00

To me, they are like mother figures. I guess that's because they always cook. I want to test if a male could become a mother figure just by cooking in front of me few times. Then, should I call him a father figure as to he is a male or still a mother figure regarding the fact that fathers don't conventionally cook?

2009-05-29T14:32:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, I let Dylon use my camera for few hours. It was a hard decision and I regreted it to be honest. But at the same time, I could feel a sense of accomplishment. I realised I might be the first one, who rent him a valuable possession.

2009-05-29T14:28:00.000-07:00

"How could Anna be on that position fairly quickly?" I asked Lacey as innocently as I could. "Peter Bailey wanted her to" Lacey said plainly, and continued "Whatever Peter wants...."

"Peter Bailey gets", Dylon interrupted creepily. I had to laugh.

2009-05-29T14:03:00.000-07:00

Dried mucus from someone's nose was quite noticeably pasted on the paper about SI. I reflected for few seconds to deduce the message behind this seemingly barbaric and disgusting collage from the given premises.

One supposition I made was that someone very dedicated and artistic had tried to present the ominousness of SI by being disgusting. And the other one I had was that someone racist had done it in order to particularly degrade Koreans and Chineses, considering the dried mucus was pasted on only Chinese and Korean ones.

I pointed it out to Dan W, who was roaming around me. He said,
"You did it. You noticed it first so you did it", which was mean of him I thought.
"How did you know that?" I said without a hint of sacasm.

I figured his logic is not soundly. If it were universally true, anyone, who randomly finds a corpse, has to be the murderer. Newton had to be the one who created gravity only because he's the one who noticed it first and Maillard had to be the one who created Browning reaction only beacause he's the one who noticed it for the first time (this may seem like a nonsensical application of his logic, for creating gravity or browning reaction just cannot be done by normal people, but pasting dried muscus, to me, is disgusting enough to be infeasible as well so I guess it makes sense).

2009-05-29T13:42:00.000-07:00

I was mulling absently in the student lounge, anticipating to overhear some people talking about something funny and gossipy. Then, I got to hear John and Eli talking about Kip's hair.

"Yo... Doesn't Kip's new hair remind you of the fat kid in Lost, the tv show?" asked John Goldpaugh to no one specific in the lounge and added when no one answered, "Wait, has anyone watched it?"

I think one of the people there finally agreed with John. Then, Eli joined and started to reminisce about Kip's old hair out loud.

" His fluffy hair was so heavy and unique. He shouldn't have got that haircut. Ugh.." He sighed as he made an awkward hand gesture; he stretched his fingers as if to touch Kip's old big curly hair.

What was irritating me was not lethargy or sadness Eli might have been feeling due to Kip's hair, but some kind of curiosity; I despeartely wanted to know who that fat kid was. I tried to get an image of that 'fat kid' from Lost, so I googled "fat" and "lost"; unfortunately, the only images I got were pictures of once-fat people, who lost a lot of weight.

2009-05-29T13:37:00.000-07:00

I am 'working' on Ariana's yearbook. I want to write something awesome for her. Well, it may end up being a cheesy poem or something similar, but I figured it would be still better than mediocre and careless comments like "I will miss you" or "have a nice summer".

She took my yearbook, hopefully thinking the same.

2009-05-28T14:45:00.001-07:00

uhh

I realize I can't be blogging in my room and performing at Cabaret concurrently. That would be a miracle.

2009-05-27T16:44:00.001-07:00

I gotta practice something. I can't blog for now

2009-05-27T14:34:00.000-07:00

Few months ago, I spent few hours writing my senior page. I liked it a lot when I first wrote it, but now I find it somewhat awkward and little lame. It's just weird to see it among other senior pages full of pictures. Plus, there is a typo, punching me right in the face (on the second last paragraph, there's a word "rebel" but it has to be revel*).

Ariana said it's intense, trippy, and somewhat sad whereas Dave and Mandy found it hysterical and funny. And I think it's pathetically maudlin and postmodern, but I guess it's just that what I wrote is multifarious.

2009-05-27T14:11:00.000-07:00

Seunghwan paparazzied some people on the spot he was standing. He succeeded in taking pictures of Izabela, Marisa and a tall middle school boy, but he couldn't photograph Bridget. I guess he was all of a dither when he saw Bridget; well, I think this suggests something.

After all, Marisa got mad at Seunghwan for photographing her, so Seunghwan, in a slightly servile tone, said, "I am so sorry." and asked "Are you mad at me?"

*I don't like when someone asks me if I am mad when I am really mad. I can never say I am mad, for I hate to admit that I am mad, but at the same time, I can't say that I am not mad, for the person will go on making me mad. I will ask Nora what the wisest response would be.

By the time Marisa was sort of yelling at him, I was feeling uneasy, for I thought Marisa would confiscate Mario. And I was so ready to blame Seunghwan if Marisa really took the camera. Fortunately, Marisa walked away very silently. Her silence revealed her upset feeling.

2009-05-27T13:59:00.000-07:00

"Look Look Look I look like an innocent child", Seunghwan said as he put his face on the door. I didn't see the point of his action and comment but he did look childish, not necessarily innocent. Oh... he may get mad at me if he sees this post. Am I too sarcastic..

2009-05-22T16:51:00.000-07:00

I don't really know why Nora took this picture, but she seemed happy after she successfully photographed Sungbum's earring.

"hahah, now you can see the diamond. See?", she said, pointing at the picture displayed on the screen. "I don't think that's a diamond", I was going to say, but I didn't want to oppose Nora by any means.

2009-05-22T16:48:00.000-07:00

By now, I am sure everyone is aware of their relationship but I wanted to have a photographic evidence. I am glad Nora caught this moment. Austin is looking up as if he's done something wrong.

2009-05-22T16:43:00.000-07:00

Gab, interestedly gazing at the monitor, probably wanted to play the video game Issac was playing. I guess the game was about classifying several different objects.

Nora took these pictures during afternoon pause.

2009-05-22T16:41:00.000-07:00

Smite of fury! I was hammering the wood as hard as I could as hard as I could as hard as I could.

2009-05-22T16:26:00.000-07:00

"That's interesting. I haven't seen Ari and Lindsey holding hands. Little uncouth" I thought.

After photographing them interestingly holding each other's hands, I showed the picture to them. Lindsey said "Oh, I like it blog it."

"No nono, blog the picture of me eating the animal cracker thing", Ari desperately shouted. "Why? What do you mean?" Lindsey asked Ari or me.

"Well, he took a picture of me earlier and I like that better. He doesn't blog the same person more than one time a day", Ari reasoned.

"So you like animal crackers more than you like Lindesy, don't you?" I asked Ari.
"Of course!", Ariana said without a tiny bit of hesitation.
"What?", Lindsey almost yelled, shocked.
"You are not edible!", Ariana logically defended her statement.

"That actually makes sense but Lindsey is technically edible", I told Ari the truth.

Chad stole a curious look at us as he passed by. I think "Lindsey is technically edible" was what caught his attention.

2009-05-22T16:16:00.000-07:00

Simon and Mandy. I didn't know they are friends. Well, all are friends in Quaker school, arent they.

A quite relevant funny story:
Jooyeob said "When I first came to Oakwood, I didn't really know how to pronounce Simon". "Then, how did you pronounce Simon?" I asked. "Seemon. I realize it must have sounded like semen". We both laughed.

2009-05-22T16:01:00.000-07:00

I was playing Scarbo from Gaspard de la nuit, composed by my hero, Maurice Ravel. When it was first played by Ricardo Viñes (Ravel couln't play Scarbo part after he composed it since he thought its difficulty was above his skill as a pianist), some deeply appreciate the originality of the piece while some harshly criticized its almost insolent novelty excessively violating classical standard. It is depressingly hard, but I like the thrill.

2009-05-22T15:38:00.000-07:00

Stephen brought me his favorite hot sauce in return for the Srircha hot sauce I've been providing him for the last few days. It was slightly hotter than Sriracha one, and its scent was very unique. I liked it.

Funnily, the discrepancy between sterotypical color of hot sauce and the orignial color of Stephen's hot sauce perplexed Daewoong. He askeded me "is it wasabi?"

2009-05-22T15:27:00.000-07:00

To me, it was odd to see Minji hugging Lucia. At first, I couldn't find any common area between them! But then, I figured they were in the soccer team together. Well, it was still odd, since Robby, who's in my tennis team, doesn't hug me.

Anyways, Lucia got sad since I did not notice that her hair got shorter. She said "Ari cut it". I told Lucia that the reason why it's not so noticeable is all due to Ariana and said "I could have given you mohawk to make it much more noticeable".

2009-05-22T14:55:00.000-07:00

Due to the back light, pictures came out so dark. So I had to use the flash to make Ari's face appear brighter. I found this picture creepy but she liked it. She's eating a piece of animal cracker Anna F gave her.

2009-05-22T14:42:00.000-07:00

Peter is on diet although he eats as much as he usually eats. His goal is losing 8 pounds by summer but I assume that he'd rather gain weight. One of the reasons for my supposition is that he got 800 on Math 2c; although it may seem totally irrelevant, people indeed tend to eat more after accomplishing something.

2009-05-22T14:37:00.000-07:00

JP was gathering money from seniors, who ordered special senior class t-shirts.

I wasn't going to buy that because I didn't really like the printing but I ended up getting it, because:

"Loui, Iam so disappointed by you. You and E.Pat are the only people who didn't get one so far" JP complained.
"Oh.. shoot, I don't want to be spotlighted with Erin!" I said.

2009-05-22T14:31:00.000-07:00

Seunghwan took this picture, slightly aggravating Jongchan.
"What the hell!" Jongchan said.
Seunghwan said "You look cynical" as he laughed, trying to trivialize Jongchan's unexpected little outburst.

2009-05-22T14:20:00.000-07:00

"Do Korean international airports check if you have Swine Flu?" Jinchen asked.
"No" I said, not knowing why not. "Do Chinese ones do?" I asked.

"Yes, I have to go through some steps. And if they find out that I have it, I will get secluded for a week" Jinchen explained; then he added as if it's something really interesting "in a nice hotel".

"Oh then you should just get infected so that you can go there", Hochul, all of a sudden, broke his silence, not realizing how silly his comment was, but I found it funny.

But what's funnier was Jinchen's reply; he said
"As long as the internet works".

2009-05-22T14:01:00.000-07:00

I found this doll on the ground.

"whose doll do you think it is?" I asked Hochul.
"I think it's Julian's" Hochul said.
"I don't think Julian would carry a doll with him. He's not that kind of person. I think your supposition is extravagently based on the fact that the doll is a white guy, wearing black."

He nodded and said I am probably right. He added ,"Wait. I think it's Minji's". So, I recommended him;"Oh really? then I will hand it to you so that you can hand it to Minji. You will get some credit from her''

"Why would I want any credit from her?", asked Hochul.
"I don't know. I am just letting you be the nice one" I said.
"OHhhh, yeah it wouldn't hurt. Thanks", he said excitedly.

The only reason I gave the doll to him was that I did not want to carry it. I knew it wasn't Minji's.

2009-05-21T18:11:00.000-07:00

They were playing a video game called 'Guilty Gear'. I as well used to play that game hysterically and obsessively so Robby, for the first time, won the sympathy from me.

My favorite character was the guy who would hit his enemy with his magical pool balls.

2009-05-21T17:52:00.000-07:00

Bridget was distributing the tickets for the distribution meal, designed to distribute meal unfairly and unequally (just kidding). The purpose of the distribution meal was to make students and faculties experience starvation for few hours, but no one seemed to be that hungry. I suppose some ate something secretly in the bathroom as Marisa suggested.

Next time Oakwood holds the distribution meal, they should do it without previous warning to make it work better. I am graduating so I won't be victimized.

2009-05-21T17:50:00.000-07:00

"That's either Kelsey or Justin" I said to Hochul. "I thought that was Justin", Hochul said.
"Yeah, it looks more like Justin actually".

2009-05-21T17:48:00.000-07:00

Oakwood basball team is awesome. They had Chinese Buffet outing on the distribution meal day. The memebers of the baseball team were therefore even more encouraged to get as hungry as possible for the buffet.

2009-05-21T17:38:00.000-07:00

This is probably the fourth or fifth picture of Amanda I took. Since she's a perfectionist sometimes, I have to photograph her until she's satisfied with the picture. Hochul looks very awkward and uncomfortable, and that's the look I'd have when someone holds me as well. Mandy is trying to acclimatize me to American touching culture, and it seems to work so far.

2009-05-21T17:33:00.000-07:00

"Look, I put a pin thingee for a diaper on my pants, since the button got popped up" she said proudly. I looked at it, thinking it's not something she should be really proud of. I found it funny.
"That's cool", I said, not meaning it.

2009-05-21T17:28:00.000-07:00

That is the most ideal seat in Marisa's classroom. I can lean my head very comfortably there. The 90-degree angle created by the book shelf and the wall is the true amenity.

2009-05-21T17:25:00.000-07:00

"Do you want me to sing for you?" Seunghwan asked me.
"Yeah, um.... Timeless by SG Wanna Be", I inevitably told him to sing a Korean mainstream song, for I knew that he wouldn't know any of the songs I like.

He started to sing.

2009-05-21T17:08:00.000-07:00

"I look like a dork in red pants" Ari said.
"You do look dorky", I agreed. I was surprised by myself who quickly adjectivized a noun. "You are mean", she spoke through her nose as she pinched my elbow.

"I just agreed with you, and in accordance with conventional societal protocol, agreeing with someone usually implicates that one wants to be in harmony with someone. What are you pinching me for? I just exposed my wholehearted amicableness. Is it a sarcastic way of expressing our friendship in great harmony?" I was going to say, but I could not convert that into English quickly enough in my head. Thinking in Korean is sometimes a liability.

2009-05-21T17:05:00.000-07:00

Harrison probably took this picture. I can see Jamie Lee's right ankle folded in a seemingly painful shape.

2009-05-21T16:55:00.000-07:00

Hanah looks little strange in the picture. It's because Harry photographed this I suppose. She's holding her baby egg, presenting her potential motherhood.

Nora taught me (although I kind of already knew before she taught me) that an egg in literature is usually a motif to symbolize reproduction or new life. After her lecture, I find people, desperately protecting or intentionally breaking their eggs, witty and awkward.

2009-05-21T16:38:00.000-07:00

From the look of Ari's tangled headphones, I recollected the image of Lain's room from a Japanese animation called Lain.

Lain is a very weird and intentionally incomprehensible animation. Even Dylon said he didn't really understand it, especially the thing about Lain's sister who went crazy for no reason.

2009-05-21T16:32:00.000-07:00

"You guys don't even hang out. It's funny how you guys are in the picture together. To be optimistic, that actually makes this picture extraordinary", I pointed out what they were presumably already aware of.

"No! We hung out in the.... in pingpong!" Harry and Hochul said with one accord.
"Yeah, right" I said as unsarcastically and naturally as I could, for I thought it'd be redundant to be sarcastic when saying "Yeah, right", considering the context of "yeah right" already contains much sarcasm.

2009-05-21T16:28:00.000-07:00

Sterling was one of the last people we interviewed. I postulated that he'd like =), for he's a boy but my supposition was wrong. He said he likes :) His girly sunglasses could have had some influence on his unmanly inclination.

2009-05-21T16:20:00.000-07:00

Venom's sunglasses made me think of 80's moms. How nostalgic. I wasn't even alive in 80's.

2009-05-21T16:04:00.000-07:00

Because Peter is the authority, Bridget and I decided that we should make Peter's vote count more. "What about two?" I asked. "That's good", she compromised.

Peter said "I think I like the one with the dots" as he pointed at his own eyes, disappointing me deeply.

But my heart stabbed by disappointment soon got healed as I realized my hypothesis that old people like :) was quite convincing and interesting. So I smiled stupidly.

2009-05-21T15:56:00.000-07:00

Bridget said she and I should ask Jeremy what he thinks, for he is a student dean.
"Jeremy, which smiley face is cuter?" Bridget asked.
"Ummmmm, this one. The one with the dots" he said after he hesitated.

"Ughhh" I mourned and asked Stephen "Stephen, what do you think?"
" I like that one as well" he confessed, not knowing that I had the hot sauce he likes.
"But, I have the hot sauce you are fond of", I blackmailed him.
After few seconds, he said "I like the one with bars. Hahahah".

2009-05-21T15:41:00.000-07:00

We went to Turner to ask scientists what they prefer. We first went to see Bill but he was absent (later he said =) is cuter), so we asked Ron.

"Ron. Which smiley face is cuter?", as soon as we went into his classroom Bridget asked Ron before I even tried to succinctly introduce the fundamental purpose of our survey, ignoring the traditional procedure of conducting a survey. Well, I was impressed that it was much more efficient to cut the introduction though.

"Oh, I like this one", Ron said pointing at Bridget's smiley face.
I told him how scientists do not have an artistic vision.

Later, I told Bridget, "Maybe, old people like :)".

2009-05-21T15:39:00.000-07:00

Zoya said :) is cuter, which disappointed me a lot. "Your preference is wrong" I said. I don't know if one's preference can be wrong though; it's a weird notion.

2009-05-21T14:56:00.000-07:00

Bridget and I asked people which is cuter between :) and =). I confidently told her that =) is definitely cuter, but she argued =) is creepy while :) is friendly and lovely.

She was sure that :) will get more vote so I gave her a deriding and sarcastic smile resembling :) I don't think she noticed it though.

2009-05-20T18:28:00.001-07:00

I got back from tennis match at about 8:40 pm and I have some hwk to do.

2009-05-19T16:32:00.000-07:00

Jooyeob said both nutella and sriracha hot sauce were featured in a magazine. I proudly told him that I am the man who knows what's delicious.

Many thoughtlessly say "Ew, Nutella is so fattening!" and eat peanutbutter at ease, but the calories of nutella and peanutbutter are indeed about the same.

2009-05-19T16:27:00.000-07:00

"If you see my girl friend, take as many pictures as you can", Daewoong insisted.
"What if my camera breaks?" I made a classic joke.

If Daewoong were little more clever, he could've said, "oh it could happen. It can certainly break due to my girl friend's beauty".

2009-05-19T16:25:00.000-07:00

JP tried to smother Bogle, a sophomore. I wasn't there. Mariah probably photographed it. It's very unquakerly.

2009-05-19T16:19:00.000-07:00

Alex jumped on JP's back and Elaine intruded herself into the picture. That's basically what happened.

Elaine said she looks like the guy in The Scream painted by Edvard Munch.

2009-05-19T16:18:00.000-07:00

Mariah took this picture. Seunghwan's face looks little unusual.
Click the picture to enlarge.

2009-05-19T16:14:00.001-07:00

Zach did come as Greg warned me ( Greg actually didn't warn me at all). He kept saying something as he smiled but whatever he said was pretty much unfathomable, for he was inarticulately murmuring. It was good to see him again and I am not being sarcastic. He's a good guy.

2009-05-19T16:12:00.000-07:00

That's Katherine's baby egg. I like her protection mechanism.

2009-05-19T16:05:00.001-07:00

When I walk into the meeting room to play the piano, I step in as loudly as possible to emphasize my presence and hint whoever that's inside that I am going in, since it apparently gets very uncouth if I encounter people making out.

Frankly I sometimes sneak in stealthily, anticipating the opposite.

2009-05-19T15:55:00.000-07:00

"Why did you come here?" I asked him as nicely and friendly as I could for I knew the context of the question may sound really indifferent and almost hostile.

"To see Federbush (I probably misspelt it)", he said.
"(wow, that's strange) But he's not even here", I said, little ridiculed.
"He's coming from Connecticut. He should be here soon", he said.

"Why is he coming here?", I asked him; I didn't really try to be hospitable this time.
"Oh, since he was gonna come for the play but then he got sick so he's coming today", he said.

Well, that barely answered my question, but I didn't ask any more questions, for he could get offended. "Hm, that's good", I said. It was quite awkward.

Ari put butter and Sriracha hot sauce on her toast. I frowned at her to implicate that it might not be a very good idea. Later, she said she liked it. She has a weird taste.

He doesn't have good reviews so far.

"He's playing cr*p, making me mad" -Chuck, the dininghall guy-

* I suppose that's why food was especially bad today.

"The DJ's there. He's playing bad rap music. That's why I left" -Eli-

"I like to dance, but this music is....." -Sierra-
"It's just too loud" -Changmin-

But some seemed to appreciate DJ detour. I saw Keith, Manos, Bruno and some other boys haning around him.

Peter left his phone on the bench in the meeting room, so I put it in my pocket so that I could give it to him later. His phone wasn't really good.

Someone called Peter's phone so I picked it up, expecting it'd be Peter.
I:Peter, I am Louis.
Nora: Where are you?
I: Peter?
Nora: (she said something but I couldn't hear it)
I: Sean Sweeney?
Nora: (Again I couldn't hear anything)
I: Oh is it Nora (I just guessed but it happened to be Nora for real)?
Nora: Where are you?
I: Oh, Iam going to Turner.
Nora: Okay, Peter's going to meet you there.

Still, I don't know why Nora called me. Why Nora?

Najah said her mother loves Sriracha hot sauce.

While Najah was telling me how her mom like Sriracha hotsauce, something else was going on in my mind; i was very nervous. I had to avoid her today, since I didn't have 3 dollars I had to pay for Samoa Girlscout cookies she gave me the other day. Fortunately, she didn't remember.

The truly sad thing is that Kyu ate most of my cookies.

Something connotes a lot of things.

I gave chickens leftover bread crumbles from my robotics project. I know robotics, chickens, and bread crumbles have no relevance; it is indeed a random combination. It was Ana's idea.

I am going to play the piano. I will retrun at least by 11 and finish blogging.

I thought you might like this. A Snapple fact-ish fact. I don't know if it's a fact though.

As long as this comment is not supported by proper statistics -but how would I believe the statistics pasted on the middle school building wall?-, it's inevitably a simple allegation without proof.

If it's not a common knowledge universally known or something obviously wrong and ludicrous, you can say whatever you want, anything amazing. Then, your acquaintances, friends, or anyone but strangers- since it'd be weird- would say "Wow, I didn't know that". No one really questions alleged ''facts'', which aren't technically facts.

Dylon is building something unknown but explained. He explained what he was building to me but I could not comprehend his notion. Caroline was observing Dylon as if interested, probably thinking the same.

Some one pushed it to the edge. This must signify something. Is it a symbolic declaration that she, he, or it - I don't know if a mailbox fairy has gender so I called it it- would confiscate my mac and cheese? I don't know if I have to defend it or let it go.

I asked him for gum; not asking him for a piece of gum was my intention although I knew simply gum sounded awkward. He said I could have his gum. I appreciated him and took 5 pieces. He cleared his throat audibly so that I could hear. I interpreted it as an implication that he did not want more than one piece of gum taken. I understand ed that, but I still wanted more than just one piece of gum for I wanted to save one for the speech that was going to take place in about 4hours -chewing a piece of gum makes one not fall asleep-; plus, I did not specify how many pieces I was going to take away from him, so he shouldn't have postulated that I was going to take just one piece. I could take as many as I wanted to.

But I am a person, who is not psychopathically devoid of conscience. I gave three pieces back and hid one in my pocket, a peccadillo. The piece of gum left in my pocket constantly made me uncomfortable but the rich flavor I could taste from the other piece in my mouth and a sense of anticipation that I would get to chew a piece of gum during the presumbably uninteresting speech counterbalanced my guilty conscience.

Maybe, if I started to chew a piece of gum before my conscience was even in its effect, I probably did not have to retrun 3 pieces of gum to Sam. I was thoughtless.

I was sleeping, but Ari woke me up.

"Go back to sleep so that I can photograph you sleeping"
"NO, I can't just go back to sleep"
"Fine, just close your eyes"

I obeyed her. I am realizing how obedient I am. I alway do whatever she tells me to do.
It is very apparent that I am fake-sleeping.

After he lightly touched Lucia's shoulder, John knelt down and told her how much he enjoyed The Side Show. I should write something about it, but I can't. I am afraid.

I like their performance more than the play itself. I especially loved Matthew's one plus one scene. I think he's pretty talented. His voice is indeed mesmerizing.

I baked cinnamon twists this morning again. I almost enjoy baking them. I tried a Nutella topped cinnamon twist, but it was overly sweet. I ate two. Sierra ate one. I gave the last one to Jongbum.

I went to a prom, held by Kingstone High School or something, as a photrographer. It was specifically to photograph Zoya and Andrew, her boyfriend, so I came back as soon as I took some pictures of them. I just lied.

Anyway,

the fact that Andrew was wearing sunglasses in the late afternoon raised my curiosity. But then, I realized he was presumably afraid of losing sight due to Zoya's lively effulgence and glowing beauty.

Oh how cute they are. I told Zoya that Andrew looks like Brad Pitt (at a glance) and she got so happy. I don't even know Andrew, which is funny.

I like grape fruits. Fortunately, Mandy had a container that's perfect for a grape fruit, so I got to bring one back from the dining hall yesterday.

I love its sourness and bitterness. Taste of life.

I like to collect free stuff. A yellow cup in the picture is one of the Wendy's cups I stole from the baseball game at the stadium, a bag of chips is from Earth Share day (I also still have Earth share day water and oreo, but I forgot to photogrpah them), and steel wire I found on the floor in the main building.

Justin's addicted to NDS as I used to be. Today, everyone blamed Peter for something, but I haven't yet figured what ''something'' is.

My mac and cheese's still in my mail box. It traveled around the mail boxes, but it came back.

I memorized its path, roughly:

Mine->Rebecca's-> Bruno's ->Rebecca's -> Mine-> Rebecca's-> Mine-> Rebecca's->Mine*->Anna Budetti's-> Mine-> Ivy's ->Mine

*it moved back and forth multiple times in just one day. Someone was definitely being stubborn.

I will keep it there till I graduate. Let me see what happens.

Julian Mundy made that poster. How awesome! Sterling looks like Alex Knauss.

I learned sound travels 4 times faster in water than in air. It may just be a Placebo effect, but I think I can hear the sound echoing faster when it's rainy.

I have never paid attention to any of the posters in Turner, but today I looked into them carefully simply because I was bored. I found a cool name, Annie Jump Cannon. Amazingly, she's an astronomer.

Hochul was playing a role-playing game called Devil May Cry. He sighed and frowned whenever he got killed by his enemies. I don't know why he has to play such games that make him sigh and get stressed, but I can understand him I think.

Seemingly, he's enjoying a conceptual danger which he can never encounter in his real life. And life without any danger is indeed not really appreciable, for everyday would be so tedious and banal that we wouldn't feel that we are actually alive; that's why we have movies to watch, video games to play, music to listen and books to read, containing artificial conflicts and jeopardy which our lives are certainly deprived of.

"UGhhhh I didn't have to be here. No one's here to take attendance", said someone.
"That's true" I agreed.

We didn't cut that meeting even though we were potentially capable of doing so. We were good.
