eermmm...is this good?

in other words got back from disneyland and tired from all the fun
will make separate journal later after i am revived

just wanted to update my journal as yes, i have my new tablet pen. (go me!) and that i don't do it often enough.
i must attempt to change that if i ever want to make my journals decent sized instead of huge aft ramblings that never end.

checked up on glasses and got a new prescription and frame on Tuesday, both are slightly painful (and i'm slightly miffed when i was told i looked like a teacher or something silly like that; i don't like being told i look grown up when i sure as heck don't feel i am )
i really hoped my parents would cave and give me contacts already, but they were afraid they'll just damage my eyes even more (with my luck, they're probably right )

it's awesome what you find at odd little shops and yard sales: i got G1 keychains of Bumblebee and Huffer from a puzzle shop at a mall (along with a wibbly Dororo keychain) and found an Override at my church yard sale for 50cents (almost complete too, all that was missing was those Key accessories but it was unnecessary )
i haven't even watched TF:Cybertron (it took a while looking up just what transformer i bought) but who cares? i can honestly say i actually own transformers now! one more step towards fangirly geekdom!

our school had a drunk driving assembly/event that took up 2 days. first day (yesterday) had a simulated drunkdriving car crash that had several students as "victims" and then the calvary came and did procedures while practically the whole school had to stand outside and watch. pretty awkwierd for the most part but i must admit, it was cool to see the "jaws of life" being used, though i mentally winced when they used it to tear the car doors off and punch the windows out. poor car... i kept imagining it as a Transformer and felt more pity towards "it" than the "bodies/victims" of the crash.
so yeah, police cars, police bikes, a helicopter, ambulance, fire trucks, they pulled out all the stops and gave a somewhat impressive if a bit tedious show. and it's not without it's share of raised eyebrows also.
first of all, the "drunk" driver was going the right way while the "victim" driver was going the WRONG way (well he's dead now, so serves him right)
second of all, the passenger of the drunk driver's car was found on the hood of the car, yet the car's windshield was held intact despite cracks. (i know that i'm just being horribly nitpicky and such, but still it was funny )

the following day (today) was a little bit of a nervous day.
you see, earlier this week we've been having rumours of writing in the boy's bathroom saying "If You Don't Wanna Die, Don't Come to School on Friday May 15th " or something like that, either as a stupid prank or something sinister, i'm not sure as most of this came to me second hand (no i didn't go to the boy's bathroom to check it out myself)
at any rate, despite it's capability to have a number of meanings, lots of people got spooked and spooked bad to the point of ditching the day despite teacher reassurance that the police have stated that it's not a valid threat.
so here we go to finish up what happened yesterday and went to an assembly set up to be like a funeral. we listened to some of the participants' testimonies and "last words" before they died, and in the end there was more than one teary eye. (for some odd reason, i ended up giggling inappropriately instead. i've had some moments where i thought i was going to cry, but in the end nada. which is why i was surprised to find some of my friends crying, and it made me feel bad... )
the part where the kids got to reunite with their family was pretty touching though. one of those moments where you wish you had a camera or at least photographic memory, so you can see the looks of each family's faces and hold them forever...
i did feel a sense of relief after the assembly was over, not only for the fact that one of my friends had "died" and was now "not dead anymore", but nothing had happened.
of course later we get a school wide blackout that made me lose 4 hours worth of drawings i didn't save, but i'm more pissed off than worried about the uneasy coincidence.
(whoever the dickhead was who thought it funny to cut the damn power, i'll beat him, maul him mercilessly, and castrate him, the fragging slagging sonuvaglitch... )

sigh, at least i got to watch angels and demons today. (memo to me, do not order a king size drink without visiting the bathroom first and making sure the movie ain't too long! )
i seem to have a love/hate relationship with Hans Zimmer; why must he make such awesome music that makes me all tense and wound up in the moment? whyyyyy?
the movie was very enjoyable and the music makes your heart pound in just the right places, plus there's Ewan McGregor, which my friend enjoyed the most
there was also my inner spaz going all fangirly at all the art and sculptures that were shown throughout the film, like Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel
strange that there was a lot of movies i was intrigued to watch; when younger i was adamant that any movie i watch was Disney or it aint worth watching. huh, my how time changes...

in short: i'm a square... how dull.
soooo.... how've you been?

argh, bad things have a tendency of following me
as i was drawing on my tablet in the art room, i dropped the tablet pen and it clattered on the tile floor
well that's not so surprising as i drop stuff all the time
i lean down, pick it up, and resume my life
forgot to mention that i break stuff all the time too
turns out, you aren't supposed to drop tablet pens all willy nilly, and now i've gone and broke the darn thing
at first i thought, oh it's probably the tip cracked and wore down, i'll just replace it with the spares my teacher has
Ms. Lux, who is *the* kindest, most generous teacher EVER, gives me a spare pen tip, and i eagerly try it out
nada
apparently, i broke more than just the pen tip. and since there's no way to dissect and fix the darn thing, i just need to get a replacement pen
easy? not if you have an outdated model that Wacom doesn't support anymore
thankfully, while Intuos pens don't work, Bamboo Fun does
now i just gotta buy the pen...

(this is basically as complicated as my life gets. so dramatic isn't it? )

hopefully i'll be able to dig up a smallish priced replacement online, but in the meantime, no arts from me (i'll see if i'll submit scans, but i wouldn't hold my breath)
so sorry, especially to those i promised arts to! Please be patient as i go through, ahem, technical difficulties >__> ;;;

poli econ + college portfolio + angry mom + missing 16 gb usb + dope pills =
crappy day

i'm too exhausted to summon up the energy to blow up on someone and be angry
i just wanna sleep and sleep and just forget this day ever happened...

i think i scared some people by my mellowness actually...

gah, Korea lost against Japan in WBC finals, but hey, they lost beautifully with only 3-5 point difference. (so ha zoe! they fought a terrific fight! )
i'm not a sports person (i took softball in elementary though) so the whole time i was getting so lost with all the fumbles and fouls that i would accidentally cheer when it was the other team's point...
and it's funny cuz my mom, who's usually a very laidback person, was all cheering and jokingly boo the Japanese team
but hey, i'm proud of how Korea fans were so pumped up and supportive throughout the whole match (seriously, the crowd was like one huge mass of boomsticks and unanimous cheering. just where did all that energy come from?! ) and proud of the crazy awesome team we had (especially that guy that had his helmet broken in his face. Ouch! )
as for the japanese team, well, they were mighty impressive (even if some of them were blatantly arrogant and obnoxious )
oh well, next year we'll win!
Good Game!
