I know too many people...
2004-04-22 23:42:35
Argh... things are just being thrown at me now. -_-
One is that I just found out a girl whom I've become good friends with really wants to go to prom with me. Next, is that a girl whom I've always liked as a friend, has become a lot more appealing to me. Why must simple emotions be so... complicated.
Anyways, so prom has become even more nuts. There's all of a sudden half a dozen people who I'd like to ask. And a friend of mine is trying to help me through this. He's nice. And the reason why I can talk to him about this stuff is because he's gay, so his opinions are not biased. Oh well, maybe I just won't go. lol! j/k
A good friend of mine just gave me some of her drawings! Photocopies actually, but they're awesome. She has the exact three mangas of Kare Kano that I do (1,2 & 4), which I thought was just too funny. Anyways, she showed me her drawing, knowing I'd be the only one of her friends who'd appreciate it, and I said that the girl seemed very familiar. I yell out the name "Yukino Miyazawa" and she couldn't believe that I knew who the character was. lol So guess what, she's now slowly borrowing my DVD set of Kare Kano.
Parent-Teacher interview night was tonight. My parents were only able to talk to my math teacher, but that's ok because the majority of my marks are high except for Math. So they were able to attend the only meeting that was truly important. lol
I was volunteering at the interview night, so that meant lots of running around to classes. I couldn't believe how many people I knew! This is like a slap in teh face telling me that I'm not as isloated from teh world as I thought. Everytime I turned a corner, a friend, a friend's parent, friends of the family or something where there to greet me. Let's just say that I was slowing down my partner, whom she and I were supposed to be making rounds to check on all the teachers. ^_^'
With the many times I'm asleep by 10:30pm, 11:30pm feels so late. It's just about 11:38pm, and I feel like I've been up forever. This is such a strange world indeed.

The rain falls to comfort the souls below...
2004-04-21 20:50:03
Lately it's been raining quite a bit. And it's very unpredictable. I guess this is what people call April showers. ^_^ It rains a bit, you pull out your umbrella, and the rain stops. You put your umbrella away, and the rain starts up again. So the cycle continues... lol
I knew it! I definitely read too much into that phone call last night. We were all going out to lunch. About 7 of us got together to eat. Here I had hopes it would be just the two of us, but it's a good thing I spent most of the day convincing it was a group thing. This way my hopes wouldn't be that high. lol Anyways, whenever I'm with her, there's always someone else along. I can't find a moment where we're alone, until today. x_x The one time I see her by herself, the thought of asking her to prom didn't even pop into my head. I crossed paths with her when walking home. I only thought of it though after I walked away. Stupid, stupid, stupid... lol -_-
In other girl related news (yes, I know this is getting kinda personal, but I'm just giving the audience what it wants lol ~_^), I just met this really cute girl at Art Council. I've seen her there a few times before, but I never even knew her name. Today, we were both assigned to painting this railing for the drama club, and we chatted a bit. I mentionned that I thought it was funny that I had never seen her before at school, and she said she was in grade 11 (a year younger than me). It was hard to contain the shock on my face. I seriously thought she was a year older than me. To describe her, she's a very quiet girl and she's cute too. But she looks tough to approach. You know, not in the "stuck up" way, but in the "so beautiful you'd hate to waste her time" way. And it doesn't help that she's quiet (literally too because she speaks softly) because she's not openly involved, so it's like you're disrupting her if you just want to say hi. Anyways, we didn't go into any kind of deep conversation, but all I wanted to do was make her feel more comfortable, since she mentionned she doesn't know too many people in Art Council.

An exhausted body, and a strange phone call...
2004-04-21 04:56:28
First off, wondering why I'm awake at 4:27am? After watching the Leaf game, I fell asleep on the couch. Sure, I may have woken up at midnight, but of course I was too lazy to get off the couch and get ready for bed, just to go back to sleep. But I still got 6 hours of sleep. 10:00pm to 4:00am, sounds about right.
On that note, the Toronto Maple Leafs have won their series versus the Ottawa Senators! Many people think the Leafs should not have won, and I for one actually agree. If it was not for superb goaltending, they would have been easily defeated by a superior Ottawa team. My hat's off to Ed Belfour! ^_^
I felt so horrible last night! This guy was going door to door during the Leaf game, and when he got to our house, I was kinda rude. It didn't even occur to me that maybe he WASN'T selling something, and that he was ALSO missing the Leaf game! When I told him my parents WEREN'T home (which they were, but I said it to get rid of him), I had just realized what I did. I wanted to chase the poor guy down and apologize. What kind of insensitive fool am I?
So I got a surprsing phone call last night. You know that girl who I wanted to ask to prom? She called asking if I wanted to eat out with her tomorrow. Before you start thinking about anything, just realize we had planned to go out for lunch last week with a bunch of other friends too, but we had to postpone. I didn't bother to ask if anyone else was coming, since it wouldn't affect my decision. But I couldn't help but start wondering...

Even with the odds against them...
2004-04-19 23:03:00
The Montréal Canadiens have triumphed over the Boston Bruins to win the first round of the NHL playoffs!
How were the odds against them? First, the Habs had never come back from a 3-1 deficit in games in the playoffs before. Next, Boston had never lost three straight games against the Habs. Also, Boston had never lost when leading a series 3-1. But they were able to overcome all this. ^_^

Sorry, just had to add in that quote. lol I'm in the middle of switching between the hockey game (Calgary and Vancouver) and Futurama.
Very tiring day. I went jogging this morning, I walked to school, won the championship in our class' badminton tournament, walked home, walked my dog, and then slept on the couch until my mom got angry because I hadn't set the table in time for dinner.
Well, it's now 11:03pm and the Calgary-Vancouver game is halfway through the first period. Should I stick around and watch the entire game, and hope it doesn't pull a game 6 (went into triple overtime)? Maybe. It might make good conversation tomorrow finding out how many people went to bed before it ended. lol

New manga leaves an impression...
2004-04-18 23:16:45
I just bought the first volume of FLCL and Rurouni Kenshin. I guess I shouldn't have read one after the other, now I'm arguing with myself about which character I should be like, Kenshin or Naoto? Being a positive and helpful person, or sad and lonely boy. Not to be sarcastic, but it really is a tough choice. Why do this (choose a character whom I should try and mimic)? Dunno. It's just something about anime. Whatever I watch, I feel I should be just like that person. Shinji Ikari, Kenshin Himura, Ryu Soma, Soichiro Arima, Naoto... I may not make it so obvious in front of my friends, but I'd like to think that on a few occasions, I've had a bit of an identity crisis. lol
So I bought the first volumes of FLCL and Rurouni Kenshin this afternoon at this new comic book store. They're both pretty great. I admit though I barely understand anything from FLCL, but that's why I'm here now. I'll be spending the next little bit searching the internet for reviews, summaries and other information on the anime. This is how you learn about new animes you don't understand. ~_^
Nothing else too exciting happened. The Leafs lost in the 2nd overtime period versus Ottawa. Looks like another game 7. Though I missed a lot of the game because of the Spacey Awards. I also missed the first episode of Cybersix, bummer. I've got to learn not to forget about so many things. -_-
