CARA'S BLOG
Feb 7, 2003. I lost the old layout (and everything else on it) because of some computer glitch. So I quickly put together a crappy new one that isn't suck-my-arse simply because HK is the feature however, putting the layout crisis aside, please remember to be respectful. Read this. Cara's Blog is a subsite of Ching-Ching. 20m.com. As for linking, I never considered having buttons for a blog (I don't even have a catch name!) but I'll link you on here if you contact me. Linking me is attempted at your own risk. Last warning: People IRL [In Real Life] do read this as well as other people across Cyberland. However, I try to keep everyone's privacy by changing names and places most of the time, when it might hurt someone's feelings. HAHA, it is fun to name people :D

No Title
Can't think of a title for the randomness that is today. Here is my school scrap.

Science: Had a sub. Finally finished key terms, only to be loaded with another book assignment.
Geometry: Finished the first assignment. Homework: finish the rest of the assignments. Due Thursday.
English: Watched Anne Frank movie. Finished taking notes in French book.
Band: Practiced music. Reminded self to bring home instrument to practice. Alto-clarinet will be back tomorrow.
History: Easy test. Drew poster. Be silly.
French: More "How to Ask Questions?" exercises.

My day was uneventful. I walked around with a sticker on my cheek that said "Superstar". I wore my new shirt and pants, which attracted a few compliments. Compliments are nice. Lunch was the same as always, except for this interestly dumb debate Katie and I had with Jillian.

*Rebekah asks us to vote for our favorite sport from her five or six choices.*
*Tennis wasn't on there, but I went ahead with "Dance" because of DanceDanceRevolution*
*Katie was telling everyone to vote for Dance*
Jillian: Why do you care so much about dance winning?
Katie: (sarcastically) Maybe because it is my favorite sport.
Jillian: Dance isn't a sport.
Katie: Yeah, it is.
Me: A sport is a physical recreational activity. Dance is a sport.
Jillian: No, it's not.
Katie: You MOVE when you dance. If dance isn't a sport, then neither is vollyball. What makes vollyball a sport?
Jillian: Well, because it's done at the SCHOOL.
Me: [Insert sport here] isn't done at the school, but it is a sport.
Well, after that, Jillian was sullen and Katie was annoyed. An hour or two later, everyone is getting along again. The bumpy ride of friendship.

Today I have to do the homework above, some of the things I wrote down before, and take a shower. I'm also joining more fanlistings and hatelistings. I quite the Anime Fusion guild. Yay!

Maniac Monday!
In my town, every Monday they play a song called Manic Monday. Manic is derived from mania, which you will recognize as the root word of maniac. The perfect way to describe myself. Or so many think. The reason for choosing this blog title is because (1) I had it stuck in my head ALL day (2) numerous people told me that I was insane.

Today certainly started out weird. I woke up instaneously, which in itself is remarkable, but the reason I woke is because my mom was shouting for me to get up because it was 7:25. Twenty-five after seven is usually when we leave! So, I dressed in a hurry, and rushed out the door. I made it to school on time due to mom's wonderfully fast driving. So here's today overview of school subjects.

Science: We discussed air masses and air fronts. Interesting, but I only gave the teacher have my attention. I doodled a nice border around today in my school planner. No homework because I finished most of it in class and did the rest (copying Shane's, of course) in Geometry class before the bell. Wrong? Nah.
Geometry: Tried to understand homework, but only had a revelation twenty minutes before the bell. Therefore did not complete much. Had a semi-captivating whispered conversation with Erin about computer viruses.
English: Wrote a journal entry about my weekend. Watched Anne Frank movie, which I found touching, though I was strangely hurt by the fact they emphasized Peter liking Margot. Odd. Have missing assignment I will complete tonight for full credit because my English teacher knows I turn in my work.
Band: Practiced all of the pieces. My home alto-clarinet is still not back from the shop. Decided not to practice due the amount of things I have to accomplish today.
History: Have a test tomorrow. Spent the class hour reviewing using worksheets and Question/Answer discussions with the class. Not particularly enthralling, but I paid attention. Received a R-Ticket.
French: Got test grade back; good grade, 41/42. Did some exercises using information-gathering questions. Homework: finish up notes.

As for the rest of the school day, it was mostly forgotten. I know I thought certain people at my lunch table are hypocrites because they make fun of people who eat a lot when they themselves eat as much, if not more. Like, huh? After school, Katie and I acted a bit crazy. Ross P reminded me about four times that he "always knew I was insane". So what if I have stickers on my face? That I have my R-Gold Card (awarded to me today!) attached to the V of my V-neck? That I was being silly? WHAT?! I don't mean being called crazy, but after the first three times it gets old.

After school, I had piano lessons. Remind to practice! Sure, I'm definitely insane then, if I'm asking my computer moniter to beep until I practice my music. Yeaaaaaah, sure. I'm supposed to be cleaning my room, but I had to put my weatherpixie pack up, then I answered an email to my grandmother. Haha :) My computer isn't doing anything stupid yet, as it usually does when I install new crap. I got Microsoft Office from my parents for Valentine's Day, which is great, because I finally got PowerPoint! Best of all, I'm going to buy a headset microphone for my computer since the current one isn't working. My computer is always asking me to train the microphone, which I can't because it is BROKEN. Yet I can't make my computer register that. So..., plan B is too buy a microphone and do what it says. [edit]Yay! I fixed the COMPUTER, so I don't need to buy the microphone![/edit]Another good thing about this is that I was reminded I need to buy POP3/Forwarding for my Yahoo email. My issue is that it costs $20/year JUST for that. I think I get 5MB extra space in my emails too, but that's it. Is it worth it? I mean, no, of course not. But I have a lot of "strings" attached with that email, I'm not just going ta throw it away! And if I do this, I can attach my Palm to Outlook too. So, a win/win and lose $20 per year situation.

Here's what I have written on my TODO list for Monday/all week. Swiped from my planner.

1. Geometry homework (you guessed it, I didn't start yesterday)
2. Missing English assignment (uh..I could've sworn I turned that in!)
3. Study for History test.
4. Do Science Key Terms (how long have I put this off for? two weeks?)
5. Buy yahoo upgrade/headset microphone (easily said, harder to find $$$)
6. Make the Fearlisting page (I couldn't believe no one made one yet!)
7. Make Ivy Fanlisting (Must start!!)
8. Goes with the above: finish Ivy the character fanart! (put off for MONTHS)
9. Return Tita Anabels & Tito Abe's books (but make sure you copy those scripts out of the JS and HTML books)
10. While returning books, pick up TEEN People magazines. (Who knows, maybe I'll get in touch with my "teen girl" side. Or find Orlando's life-size mug)
11. Clean ROOOM!!!! (come on now, this isn't THAT hard)
12. Get some metal paper clamps & hair ties.
13. Bring a mini-mirror to school so I can look at my ugly face. (and check for crap in my teeth)
14. Oh, and bring a compass so you don't have to bother any of the math teachers about it.
15. Stop drawing up so many lists, God!!

Speaking of lists, guess how many items I have on my Amazon wishlist ALONE? That's right, 108 items! Most of them are books & Celine CDs though. Mom claims it is always GIMME GIMME with me. That's true, I'm very materialistic. I love THINGS, owning things that are mine, mine, mine. But I'm not selfish. I have no qualms about giving things. At least I don't go crazy about HAVING the things I want, I just want them. I'm not going to go to extraordinary lenths to get money or stuff. I just like stuff. I love Hello Kitty and little girl things. For instance, today I bought a Hello Kitty plushie (dressed in a cute hoodie and a snowflake in place of her customary bow) and a lacy umbrella. How adorable! Today I crossed off book light from my wishlist, seeing as my parents saw fit to buy me one. I love it, though for some reason I couldn't figure out how to work it. Guess what? You have to SLIDE the button, not press it. And to further prove I am not a selfish little girl who refuses to grow up, I bought my whole family gifts. With my mom's money. But I promised to pay her pack, so all is well.

You know, I can't stop blogging. I guess I'm just in the mood today. For my blog, I still have to come up with some more blogg stuffz. I wish I could have smiles, but I can't because I'd have to write html to do it. I do this manual y'all. I did manage to find a nice calendar script. :) I had to put it at the bottom though, because the script makes anything UNDER it go "bye bye". Ah well, it is still a nice script. I had a better one before, but that site seems to have been blasted into oblivion. Oh.. and I added my Neopet schedule to it too. I'm going to quite anime fusion because there is NO POINT in continuing it. I'm a disappointment as a guild leader of a dead guild. WAAAH!! But TSP is thriving....*sigh* weird. Well, I'd better go do all that crap now. Oh, and maybe I'll join more fanlistings. Who the heck knows?

Edit: Today is my day for computer accomplishments! Not only did I make my computer stop asking for that stupid microphone, I made the before-broken-now-fixed wireless mouse work! It is back to the way of the wired for me! SQUEE!

Time to do EVERYTHING
I've procrastinated everything I'm supposed to for tomorrow for today. Yet, I'm pushing it by sitting here and updating my website. Aren't I stupid? Maybe this my subconcious telling me that I need to list all of the things I have to do today in my blog so that I can easily use it as reference. Yes, that is it.

1. Practice my piano & clarinet = all the music until fluent.
2. Homework

  • Science: Key Terms Page 107
  • Start (and hopefully finish) that huge Geometry assignment so I don't have to worry about it.
    3. Clean my room :3
    4. Finish the things in my TODO notebook:
    5. Play 150 calories on DDR
    6. Think of something to do about the Anime Fusion guild.

    Looking at it, it doesn't look so bad. That's good :3 I had better get a move on then. Maybe if I work at it, I can finish before nightfall. Then I come back and rant or something. Well, if I do anything on here worth mentioning, it will be listed below.

    * Added a new wishlist - ThinkGeek.com. I'm not that much of a hardcore geek, but I am rather geeky, wouldn't you say?
    * Another wishlist! Hottopic.com -- it's weird, I wouldn't wear half of what they sell for the world, but some of it I really want :D


    I'm back! I practiced my piano at least :) weatherpixie.com is missing, therefore I deleted my weather pixie for now. I hate broken images. And well... I've decided to join hatelistings. But I'm not going to join those ridiculous hatelistings for things like slash and stupid things like that. Some hatelistings are great; others suck monkey balls. I'm going to work on my fanlisting section, though I can't seem to find my list of fanlistings to join. That's ok, I'll just go to thefanlistings.org and thehatelistings.org to look at some :)

    Trendy new look
    I've made the blog look more like the average manual blog. Two columns with layers of tidbits & click-a-bles. Best of all, I'm even doing more BLOGG-y type things, like making a new wishlist. It is fun to make them on Amazon. I have a comprehensive list on my website, but I've decided to make an Amazon one just for fun. I'm picking the same type of things, but in much more limited quantities. For instance, instead of trying to put ALL of the mangas I don't have on the list, I only put down the first three and/or the first season on DVD. :3 It would be annoying and pointless to list all of what I'm choosing here, but I will note that I want a Nintendo 64 and some games to replace the one that was stolen from our lakehouse last Thanksgiving. As for the wishlist, it is even MORE pointless, considering the fact I am not ^allowed^ to post my address. I suppose I could give the address to my family, so they can see stuff and order it, THEN send it to me. But I'm being selfish. XD ... I want to get all of the old Final Fantasy stuff, because I never got around to checking it out. Now I want to start at the beginning, so I'm putting every FF game (in succession) on my wishlist. LOL, considering how large the fanbase for FF is, I'm probably going to be sucked in really fast.

    I haven't blogged in more than a week due to two facts I can deny no longer. One, I am the ultimate lazybutt and therefore cannot blog for more than two consecutive days. Two, I am a moron who doesn't save her documents and therefore loses all of her data every few months. So you see how hard it is to blog often. Closer to home, I've been busy. It is insane how someone has blatantly slow as I manage to be busy with something is shocking. Still, once I'm riled, I am one wild crazy chick. I'm going to go into a mini-rant somewhere between here and there, so you are forewarned. Also, this is basically what I have put in my handwritten diary.

    "Rudith" was being really rude at the dance yesterday. So, "Zenon" and I (being put off by her weird dancing, apparently an attempt and sexy dancing) and her rude behavior, wondered why she dances with her stomach jutting out when it is VERY unflattering. Most times, I would not pay heed to this, being a supporter of anti-discrimination due to looks. Though, "Rudith" often makes fun of fat people and and wonders why they don't lose weight, when she herself shouldn't talk. Being annoyed at her, "Zenon" and I complained amongst ourselves and I (being wild you know) imitated her stomach thrusts. Which, of course, send "Zenon" into peals of laughter. Getting past all of that, here is why "Rudith" was really mean yesterday. First of all, when the slow dances started, she (and her cronies, "Oinker" and "Giggy") proceeded in declaring certain girls sluts. Um...I don't know how, probably something stupid like how big the poor girls boobs were or something. Secondly, she made some really mean and perverse comment about someone. It was horrible. "Rudith" and some others weren't the only irritations at the dance. I cut my finger on glass AND was bumped three feet by "JoJo" (which Zenon found really funny) and Katie had red vinegar spilt all over her. But...as annoying as all of these things were, we kind of just laughed everything off. Laughing so much was great :) Still, I think I ate too much because I had a stomach ache this morning! The woes of a teenage drama queen indeed.
