I've Never Seen the Lion King

I've decided to title all these entries with "I've nevers..." until I run out of ones to write. And yes, these are all true. So, it's basically panic time since my AP is this Thursday. After that though, I'll try to work on some nifty vector brushes for you guys. I wish I had Adobe Illustrator, but even if I did get it, my computer would probably die since I already have tons of other programs downloaded.

The Loucks games were on Friday and Saturday, and our track team had to help out with everything so I had to be there all day. Ah, I'm so jealous of all of the amazing runners; the best female 400 meter runner in the country was there, too! Anyway, it was mostly fun, especially at the end of yesterday when everyone was just tabletopping each other. Friday -it was pouring and I ended up getting soaked, trying to stay dry under dysfunctional umbrellas that turned up every ten seconds. And I guess it wasn't very smart going out and drinking a Caramel Frappucino after, since I got a killer stomachache after. Haha.

I'll leave you guys with this dirty-minded quote from Chemistry class, when this guy is playing with these balls in a molecular formula structural kit, or whatever it's called.

Teacher: Don't play with those. Play with your own.

I'm going out golfing in five minutes, so I'll return comments later.

I've Never Had Macaroni and Cheese

Since when did writing about what I like to do and my social life count towards my semester grade? Give me five supplemental homework problems about the day's lesson, and I'll happily do them, but don't ever give me a "write about yourself" assignment, before I blow my top. Honestly, do you really give two shits about "getting to know me better"? That is, unless you just love reading about the fake memories of my birthday party that I supposedly had in 2nd grade and my (non-existent) pets. What is it with English teachers and assignments like these?

Ninth grade, my Honors English teacher made us write a poem about ourselves and our name, which I clearly recall doing in elementary school. I'm sorry, but what I didn't recall is enrolling in a 5th grade class. Seventh grade English involved making scrapbooks with family trees and our childhood memories, and might I add that I never completed it. I'm afraid I must've missed the memo that English would double as a "let me stalk your life" class for teachers.

So, my tongue has been irritating me for two days. Does anyone remember Warheads candies? I got a ton of candy from a party on Friday, and I've been living off of it all weekend. Anyway, excuse me now as I go scribble out some stuff on this English 'web' of myself.

What Comes After O?

AP! Bad jokes aside, I'm back from Japan! I actually got back Tuesday night at 10 PM, and I ended up going to sleep at 3 AM after having to finish unpacking and finishing the homework, which I so unsuccessfully managed to do while on vacation. Try staying awake at school after major jet lag and three hours of sleep the night before. Updates-wise, I added two new sets of stocks, of pictures that I took in Japan! These photos were taken on my radical new camera (bought in Japan) -the Casio Exilim S10, in blue. Oh, and thanks to Jabed for helping me turn off the comment moderation in FanUpdate!

Japan was amazingly fun, minus the... 20 hour long plane ride. It was a 4 hour long ride from New York to Vancouver, then an 11 hour long ride from Vancouver to Hong Kong, and then 5 hours long from Hong Kong to Japan. We went to so many places, I barely remember all of them. First, I think, was the Imperial Palace, and then the Meiji Shrine, where my sister and I met these two French tourists as well. Can you say, bonjour beau? Anyway, then there was another shrine... Tsurugaoka Hachimangu, I think, and Odawara Castle, and the Fuji-Hakone National Park. Shopping was uber fun in the Ginza and Shinjuku district, although always time-constrained since we had to get back to our bus on time. After Japan -it was off to Hong Kong for three days, where we literally shopped all day -from 10 in the morning to 10 at night. I swear, and I would say that the shopping there was even better than in New York!

I have my World History AP coming up in two weeks (hence the title), so I'll be in a major cramming session. At least after that, one class will be 'done,' and then I have to worry about finals and Regents. Why is it that New York is the only state with Regents exams? I suppose I should stop procrastinating right now, and I get back to my homework.

Sayonara For A Week

I've finally opened back up! I've been working on the site at school as well, although it's such a pain since I edit it from my cPanel File Manager, which acts up constantly on the school's IE. Anyway, I'm going to be doing a major revamp with the graphics, tutorials, downloads -the works. After the downtime, I decided to open up with a new name. I don't even know where I got the idea for 'Lethal Kiss', but I think 'Elysium' is pretty fierce, so that's all that matters at the moment. On another hand, I've switched to FanUpdate for blogging; I'm not sure of its effectiveness, but it's pretty spiffy at the moment. I didn't want to be bothered with Wordpress again, and this is ten times more compact that Wordpress.

Some of you might be wondering, "where did the rest of the content go?" Well if you haven't realized, I have taken down all my content with celebrities on them. All images found are from Stock Exchange, or from my own camera. Minus the myspace layouts, but I'm working on that. I'm going to try to focus on tutorials and resources, and less on graphics like blends. Dressups will be up soon, though.

I will be in Japan for spring break! I was seriously considering spending some more time on the site after I got back, but I figured that if I didn't open by the end of this week, you'd all either throw rocks at me, or just leave me. I'm ecstatic about Japan, but not so much about this -the Japanese Killer Giant Hornet. Okay, I added the 'killer' part in the name, but it still apparently kills about 50 people a year. Well, maybe if I do get stung, I won't have to finish the buttload of homework I have to do over the break.

Alrighty, I'll stop boring you guys. Next update will hopefully be more interesting, since I've already gotten everything out of the way in this one. Tell me what you think of the new site and what you want to see more of. Hope everyone has a good spring break. I won't be back until Tuesday, April 29. By the way, does anyone know how to turn off comment moderation in FanUpdate?
