Mah Loife Lately
WELL, this Tuesday i joined the Cultural Society (possibly a dumb idea considering that I'm already doing way too much, but I wanted to join anyway. Plus this cute senior guy from my AP Bio class wanted me to join). I got there late, and I asked Mr. Hsi if I'd missed the whole thing and he said "Yes, but sign up for something!"
Turns out they're doing a cultural show in May and theyre planning it out now. They're doing different cultural dances and Chinese and Italian opera and Broadway stuff and all kinds of cool things. I had told Ketan (cute senior guy from Bio, and President of the club as it turned out) about my firetwirling before, and so i'm gonna do that (with glowsticks) in that show. 'S Polynesian, hence cultural. Plus it'll be really cool PLUS the regular talent show is always in winter, so there's be no way for me to practice at home. They're also doing a Bollyood skit (by "they" i mean it's mostly Indian-types) which reminded me of - what else? - Lagaan. I asked Ketan if he'd seen it and he had. In fact, he has heard the songs so many times that he's kind of sick of it because his parents play the soundtrack any time they drive anywhere. I think EVERY Indian person i know has seen Lagaan. A good thing is that you don't have to only be in skits that are your culture, ilke a black girl is gonna be in the Bollywood skit, and i might, too. I don't know if i'm gonna be the only one doing an act alone, but I guess I'll find out.
Oh yes also the Teacher Feature for the FR. I didn't have much time to do it, so i had hardly goten any done by Thursday afternoon. I was working on it at lunch, and when the period ended i told Deb to tell Lipsky that he could plunge a screwdriver into the Teacher Feature's heart. When I went back to the studio, there was a note from Lipsky on the computer saying that the feature was canceled for the week, so i went to ask him about it. Turns out that Deb had an underdeveloped sarcasm gland and actually HAD told him to plunge a screwdriver into its heart. he wasnt mad or anything - more sotries had come up so we didnt have time for the feature. Then at the taping later that day, he actually handed me a screwdriver. And then a hammer. Oh we are so weird at the FR. They made a commercial for Harvey by asking unsuspecting people if they had seen Harvey, or if they knew where Harvey was, or "If you were Harvey, where would you be?" One teacher actually answered, "Oh, Harvey is one of my very special friends. I see him all the time." I don't think she realizes how funny that was.
People are coming in to start working on the house on Monday so it will look nice to sell, so we had to start SERIOUS cleaning this weekend. Gardeners came to make the yards nice. It looks nice (even though they cut down this little tree i really liked). I packed up two boxes of stuff to put in the storage unit my mom's renting. I started working on it at about noon and didn't stop till after 6. I listened to the full soundtrack of Avenue Q, my Gavin DeGraw and Click Five CDs, and a CD of Animaniacs songs. Cleaned so much that back hurts, but im glad i got stuff done.
Fun fact! The waist of a My-Size Barbie is exactly the same size as my neck! Isn't that sick? I know this because I took the measurements of a My-Size Barbie. I did this because I am doing my research paper on the effect that Barbie has had on society. It's actually pretty cool to read about.
So I think that's all.
Oh, except that I accidentally locked my dad's keys in his car and we had to call triple A to come open it. That is such a typical me thing to do.
Ok so thats really all. Bye!
