Tomorrow is my first day of school! Oh noes! :O

Classes start at eight - L&S 180B, Language and Power. I’m actually on the waitlist for it, first though, but the course description was really interesting… So I’m keeping my fingers crossed that ONE PERSON will drop the class. That can’t be too hard to hope for, right?

I’ll also have PE (taekwondo), Math 55 (Discrete Math, whatever that is) and CS61B (lab) tommorrow. Whee.

I didn’t blog yesterday since there wasn’t much time, flew in, unpacked, had dinner at Silver Dragon and left for Kelly’s birthday party. It was fun. I have pictures, but I’m too lazy to upload at the moment. Everything looks yellow tinged though, since I have masking tape over my flash. Without the tape, we’re all too pasty looking when the flash fires.

I’m excited for class to start! I really am. I’m a loser, yes. But I can’t help it. I’m interested in all my classes this sem (well, I think I am anyway) except math 55. Even then, ‘discrete math’ makes me curious. But I’m pretty scared of it, being not much of a math whiz. Maybe it’ll be something I really like in some odd way, like geometry. Maybe. I can hope!

Thats me! Dad and mom in the background. I think I posted a picture with that hat on several days ago, well there it is in action! :O Today we aren’t skiing, we’ve been packing and are leaving in about an hour. I’m off to get more stuff to pack from my mom in a sec.

We get back to Seattle later tonight and are spending two nights there before we return to the Bay Area. Some market thing there (seattle) that we went to last time (I forgot what it was called) had lots of neat stuff, including a pretty pretty fairy princess hairtie that I got for my cousin. Except I’m thinking of keeping it now. But where in the heck will I wear a bright blue hair tie with ribbons, strips of soft tulle and rhinestones hanging off it and halfway down my back? Its neat, but I’m a tad bit too old to get away with it. Well, maybe not!

I woke up this morning, and my back hurt. As I skiied more, my legs started to hurt a little, as does my left arm. The kind of ache you get after getting a shot. -_-;;

I haven’t really ached for the last few days. It all caught up today though.

We did a lot of downhill stuff. My insteps hurt a little, but they’re okay now.

Dinner was awesome - lamb and grilled brie. Note that that followed wine and cheese. And an afternoon of loafing around and poking at things. My blog died somehow and I also fixed Scripttease.net, my shared site with Angel. I have some things I need to post there, but I’m being a lazy bum atm. And I’m about to go to sleep.

We’re leaving for Seattle tomorrow. Back to civilization and cellphone reception! (And I probably won’t post again till monday. I have no internet in Seattle. And I get back to the Bay Area late Sunday then am off to a friends party, which will probably end in the wee hours of Monday morning.)

Har har! The hotel I’m at now has wireless. I’m enjoying this greatly. Its much nicer than the last one (which is saying something, since the last one was pretty neat too). And its one has WIRELESS. OMG. Wireless. *dies* The life w/o internet and without cellphone reception is pretty weird. And confusing.

Anyway, I’ll post pictures later, because my camera died earlier and I have to charge it before I can transfer pictures.

I’ve been cross country skiing for the last… three days. We did 10km this morning, 8km yesterday, and I don’t remember how much the first day. I am not made for this sort of physical activity! Granted, none of my leg muscles hurt or anything, but my left forearm hurts. Is that not bizzare?

Thats about it… the interesting part of the post would be the pictures… but those are coming in a bit still.

I’m in Washington, with no regular internet access and no cellphone reception whatsoever. I promise to write a weeks worth of updates on my laptop (I’m on a “library” computer atm, its at least 8 years old) and post them when I get back.

Toodles for now! Pray that I don’t fall too hard into a snowbank!

Yes, I broke my New Years resolution right after I made it.

Not really! Ha! I’m  slightly  quite hyper right now since I just got everything to work. GoDaddy.com finally transferred my domain last night, and I was being an idiot and not reinstalling properly. I finally got it to work though! Hurrah! And everything works. All my skins, all my images… etc. Well, I think they all do. I’m off to hunt for broken links now. Toodles~

As part of my New Years Resolution… (or, rather, as my only one) I’m trying to blog daily. Har har. Catherine is trying to blog every few days, Z’ohki is trying to blog everyday… (I’d love to exchange links, btw! ) Rayne (hi, I don’t think we’ve ever met [commented? lol] before, but hi!) wishes she could, but doesn’t have enough time. Anyone else interested?

Today the four of us went shopping for random cold-weather clothing things and stuff. I got a hat! Er, beanie. And that’s it in the picture! We were in Sportmart for SO long. And they had a discount, like $25 off for every $100 you spend. Our cashier was also prize-winningly dumb. She didn’t understand the math of adding and subtracting. Urgh. We sorted it out eventually.
Got home, cooked and ate dinner… And here I am! Attempting to learn Canon in D on the guitar. Oh, and I must mention that I got the guitar I wanted from Costco for myself for Christmas. I used my turking money to pay for it.I’m moving hosts and transferring my domain soon, so if things go down for a couple days or anything, I didn’t die. I just uh… Well, needed some space. A faster domain transfer, actually. ^^

Once again, I haven’t updated in a long time. -_-;;

Summer break is pretty boring. I basically spend the day trying to sneak online and trying to read Hanakimi. More on that some other time, for now, its a cutesy manga.

Christmas was okay, the coolest thing I got was a deck of black tiger cards (google it) from my brother. He also got me (but it arrived yesterday) a PHP book. I’m going to learn php! I will. I kind of wanted to learn Python, but in the end, I couldn’t decide. Anthony preferred PHP so we’re going with that. He’s way ahead of me though. Not totally unexpected, I guess.

Tomorrow is New Year’s eve. We (parents + brother) are having dinner at Lulu’s. I’m looking at their online version of the New Years Eve menu and trying to decide on what I want… Seared Sonoma Foie Gras or Wild Mushroom Pizzetti? Pear and Hazelnut Tart or Persimmon Custard Cake?
I also have to figure out what to wear. Urrrgh.

Anthony’s in China now. I miss him. I’m not going to see him again till school starts. He was online for a bit earlier, but I think he’s been disconnected.

I can’t wait for school to startttt.

And anthony’s back for a bit.

So, I’ve come up with one New Years Resolution so far: To blog (almost) everyday. If anyone wants to join me on this, comment and I’ll make a little webring or something (I blog [almost] everyday!). It’ll be fun!

My logic in doing this, I’ve got a blog, I’m paying for it, and its always fun to read back on old entries. Plus when I want to know when something happened, my blog is incredibly useful for doing so. Thus… the resolution. ^^

My house is being invaded!!!!111

Well, not quite. So the mice from the previous post have been caught, four of them anyway. They’re mildly cute and mildly horrendous and gross. They’re small, gray and very soft looking. But they have pointy noses and beady eyes. And god knows how dirty they are, thus gross. Times like this (and all the rest of my life, actually) I wish I had a snake. Like a big tame one that I can hug. And it’ll eat mice for me. Tee hee. Okay, so what I really do want is a ball python, but mom won’t let me get one, since I already have ete: and… well, onto the next story…

I was walking through my living room yesterday, from the front hallway to the dining room (which is actually a TV room now) and, see, my living room has this medium thickness, very even beige carpet… Its almost like walking on a big piece of soft felt - you can’t tell the hairs apart unless you stab at them with your finger. Anyway, I was walking along and I saw this little gray blob, I thought it might be an uber-small mouse, but as I looked closer I noticed it wasn’t, it was a lizard!
I caught it in a bottle, brought it with me when I went to buy crickets for ete: this morning and the people at the pet store tole me its a blue bellied lizard. After much Googling, I’ve figured it out it eats bugs (ants and crickets will do), no veggies, likes warm temperatures (probably what it was doing in my house, its cold outside) but isn’t great at getting along with people. I’m not sure if I’m going to keep him yet. I feel pretty bad about letting him go, since he’s so small and he must’ve snuck in here because its warm and its all cold and rainy outside. :/ But on the other hand - I don’t know if I can afford crickets for two lizards.

If anyone is feeling nice and wants to give me a christmas pressie/feed ete:… *points toward her Paypal button* I spend $10.50 a week on his crickets, but anything helps.

& I’ll post pictures of the new lizard later.
