Yesterday, I did the most stupid, unexpected thing. I ran away from home. But don't worry, I'm totally fine. No one kidnapped me. Althought there was some guy who almost did. I won't say the details but anyway, I had a really bad fight with my family and stuff happened so I ran to my cousin's. But they weren't there and the my dad called there so I had no choice but to run to my friend who lives the closest, Adam.
At first, I was so scared to knock. But then I did. His brother opened the door. And he told me to come in. Then Adam sees me, and he's like hi. But I was crying. So we went to the living room and told him what happened, sobbing really badly of course. He was hugging me and everything though and it felt really comforting. After that, we went to my friend Sara and picked her up to go to Pizza Pizza where we spent a good hour talking. Then we went to Jay's and bought candies and pop. We went to Sara's after and played DDR and watched Holy Grail. Her mom said that I'm allowed to stay there for the night if I have to. But I don't know her family at all so I called my friend Luigi (who's supposedly mad at me) and asked if I can stay for the night. And he said yes. So Adam, Sara and her mom dropped me off there.
So apparently, everyone was looking for me. And my parents even called the cops. I feel so awful right now. I felt really upset yesterday but now I'm like upset AND scared of coming home since I'll definitely get hours of scolding and everything. Anyways, me and my friend didn't sleep at all. Maybe for only half an hour the most. We just watched TV and then got bored so we talked for hours then cooked breakfast (he made some for himself and I cooked for his family xD). Then we went up to his room and slept-ish. Like 2-minute sleeps. Then his mom wakes up and she tells us stuff about how some parents have a hard time showing their affection to their children... I really wish my friend's parents are mine. They're so nice and everything.
On a lighter note, we made the talent show guys! =D I have pictures too..
Yesterday (well, a few hours ago) was my friend Mike's birthday party. I was going to come early to his house (like around 11:00) but I had to work with my cousin. So anyways, we didn't know what to get him so we were like, "Hmm, should we get him a hamster?" or whatever. So after painstaking hours of thinking we just thought of giving him a basket full of random stuff. So since me and my cousin work at a popcorn store, we decided to give him popcorn. Then we went to Bulk N' Barn and got tons of Hershey's Nuggets. Then I had to run to the dollar store to find a basket, wrapper and ribbons. Then as we were wrapping it, people were looking at us lol. But it was fun because the present turned out really pretty. And we were like, "OMG! We're so creative." Oh, and we also made a card that has a tiny coupon that says, "This card entitles you to one (1) free $20.00 (or less) meal anytime we go out to eat." (my cousin's idea) And also, my lame attempt to draw MC Sniper (Mike's favourite rapper.)
So we got to his house and it was frikkin huge and nice! O_O His room was so big and full of anime posters and his shelf was full of Korean books and stuff (which isn't surprising because he IS Korean). But it was so cool watching him and his family speak Korean because I only see it in Korean dramas and I was like, "OMGOD. I feel like I'm living a k-drama!!" Anyways, I didn't get to play DDR. T_T But ah well.. I did get to sing on the karaoke though. It was so fun. It was like the first time I actually talked to the people and everything. Because when I go to parties, I usually just sit somewhere and be all anti-social. I was also like the 'camera-girl' person there and I just took hundreds of pictures (literally) with Mike's oh-so-slim and pretty camera. I hated myself for forgetting our own damn camera so I can have my "own" pictures. But ah well. I did use up all of the memory in Mike's camera. LOLZ. I guess I'm just a cam-whore like that.
Oh and also, when me and my cousin we're going to eat, Mike's mom hand fed us the BBQ. I don't know if its tradition or whatever but I felt so shy. No one's ever hand fed me before and I was telling her that its okay and that I can do it myself but she insisted. =p
Anyways, I just loved his place and his whole family. <3
And cant forget about his cousin Andy too. He just came here from Korea 3 months ago and he can't speak English very much but he was so fun. He was teaching us Korean and I was like, "kung-eh-ha-sam-ni-dah??" (thats just random. I really can't remember what he taught me) lolz. It was hard.
But yeah, sorry for not posting. I'll return comments tomorrow!
I'm so tired from the concert yesterday but I'm somewhat happy. I'll tell you more in the rest of the entry. Anyway, I skipped my first period today. LOL. I can't believe it. I really never ever skip but today I just couldn't get up so I decided to sleep in and miss History class. =p Oh well, I guess its all good. My teacher didn't really say anything about it. I don't think he even remembered that I wasn't there for first period when I saw him afterschool to hand in my assignment... Nothing really much happened today. But it is the last day before March Break so yeah, everyone else is pretty much really excited. =] Oh yeah, after the anime club, my friend Adam drove us home. It was really funny because everyone was scared and one of my friends was like, "Ahh! I'm gonna go wear two seatbelts!" Brandon said that and he really did....wear two seatbelts. I don't know what's so scary about it though. But I did find it really odd seeing him behind the wheel driving instead of his mom. It looked really hard. But maybe someday I get my license too...which is in 7 months. xD Hopefully.
So the concert yesterday was fun as usual. I love school concerts. I don't think our Guitar Orchestra did awesome though. We have this one arrangement and its like a medley of Light My Fire and Riders on the Storm by the 60s and early 70s rock band, The Doors. And its such, such an awesome arrangement by our teacher but we kinda failed it at the concert. Frankly, I think I did really well. And some parts of it we're awesome. But the beginning AND ending of the song was just horribly played...and those are the most important parts of a song. I was kinda happy though because they called my name because I'm in the region's Guitar Orchestra and I got to stand up and be acknowledged. Yay! Anyway, our concert band on the other hand did really well. I loved our performance.
And of course, can't forget about the awesome food at Kelseys after the concert. I didn't enjoy going there though but I did enjoy the food a whole lot. ♥
Aw boo. I'm so-oh-oh bored. Um, let's see.. This week is going to be busy. Maybe not too busy but still. In half an hour, I have Guitar Orchestra. Then afterwards, me and my friends have to run to my house and rehearse the marionette dance. The orchestra ends at 4:30 and I booked the room for 4:30-7:30. uh-oh.. We're gonna have to run really fast since we only have 3 hours to practice everything. *gulp* Afterwards, I have to finish an English essay so I have tomorrow to proof read and edit it. Tomorrow I have band class at lunch because there was no band last week because Mr. Brinson wasn't at school. So now you're taking half of my lunch too? And at night I have Honour Guitar rehearsal. And then thursday morning, I have Guitar sectionals. Nooo! I gotta wake up early.. I hate how I have Honour Guitar and Guitar Orchestra sectionals only once every other week. And they ALWAYS happen to be in the same week! So I get home around 9:00, sleep around 12:00 and wake up at 5:00. Oh geez. Very tiring. Oh, and I also have to stay for a while afterschool for sound check and everything because we have the March concert later at night! The good part is, we're going to Kelsey's after! Then I end my week with an Anime Club game day. = ] I'm just gonna go play tons of DDR even though I'm not as good as my friend Cassie or my cousin. I wish to be better sometime. I'm on standard already so if I just play a lot, I can do heavy mode in no time! Problem is, I don't have DDR at home. Booo.
Oh and I also have work on sunday. Boooo~ But yay for money! I don't get my paycheck yet though. Probably by next, next week. I don't even know if I'm working on March Break. Oooh. I hope I am. But then, we have to practice real hard for the talent show. The auditions are already after the march break! And we can only do the first song right now. :[ And there's 3 songs in the dance. Uh oh. Anyways, I made a mistake while working last week. The person ordered a mini bucket, which is $7, and he paid debit. But he didn't have enough money in it. And I didn't notice it until I re-checked the receipt! And I already gave it to the person! Noooo! Hopefully my boss doesn't notice or anything.
Well ah, I'm gonna end this now. Its too long. And I'm so cooold. Its March and the temperature is like -31C! WTF. LOL well cya! I have guitar orchestra now!
Today's a Snow Day-ish day. There's barely anyone at school because the buses are cancelled and there's a lot of snow so people just didn't want to come to school. I didnt, but I had to. This entry will hopefully inspire anyone who's about to leave highschool.
So anyways, my English teacher was sharing her experiences when she went to University. Her stories were horrifying. I really don't want to leave highschool yet since I don't think I'm prepared for all the stress and things that will happen but after hearing her story, it made me realize that I'm SO far from being prepared. So many things happened to her that I never even thought of happening to me. She said that going to University will be a great experience but you will have a very hard time coping with everything, you will meet the wrong friends, be in the wrong cliques, your grades will drop and you will just be absolutely crushed. She even said that so many students commit suicide in their first year because they just can't handle it anymore. Your professors won't care about you or your grades unlike your teachers in highschool and stuff. Its such a scary thought.
In highschool, you are so sheltered. You have so many people who are there for you: your friends, family, teachers, counsellors, everyone! But when you go to University, you leave your family, you're gonna be so far away from your friends, you won't know anyone and the teachers treat you like crap. My English teacher shared that she asked help from her professor once with the lesson and she went, "I don't have time for idiots like you. You won't become a teacher." And then she approached her again and asked if she knows anyone who can help her and the teacher said, "If I don't have time for you, why would they?"
There's just gonna be so much stress. Everything is gonna pile up on you: homeworks, projects, tests and other problems. I don't think I would be able to handle that. The only people I depend on right now are my friends, but when I leave highschool, everyone will go on different paths and you will just be so, so alone. I don't want that to happen... Well that won't until after 3-4 years. But its still scary. I don't think I'll be strong and mature enough. I can't even handle my own parents and friends when they bitch at me. How can I handle things all on my own when I leave highschool? How can you?
I wanna share this really funny thing I saw on a commercial once. So, this guy was doing his big test thingy. But he finished late. So when he hands it in, the professor wont accept it. And he went, "do you know who I am?" and the teacher said he has no idea. So he smiled and said "good". Takes his test paper and puts it in the middle of the pile. Clever eh?
