new additions...

x. added cancer ribbons to my profile
x. added my friend basia to the "friends" section

the first row of cancer ribbons (the dark purple and pink colored ones) are the kinds of cancer that have affected me personally. dark purple is for pancreatic cancer, and my dad died from that. the pink one is breast cancer, and my aunt had that (but she's a survivor =D). the second row are the general cancer ribbons. anyway...

woo hoo!! went shopping today. mom had to pick up our plane tickets (guys... it's official... december 11... I'M GONNA CRY) and i didn't want to go with her at first, but i ended up going cause i discovered a gift voucher i had to lush at garden city, and i talked mom into taking me there after going to the travel agency =D so i took my ipod with me and listened to my tunes while mom got the tickets, and then off to garden city we went.

i ended up buying some bangles and earrings from diva... you know, the bangles were a total rip-off, lol, but i got a diva card! WOO HOO!!! *feels special* and then i went to lush to use my gift voucher and got a bath bomb, then priceline where i FINALLY FOUND BLACK EYELINER, and then to the news agency to pick up this month's GIRLFRIEND magazine (cause ro got me the DOLLY one yesterday =D). and then we went home. haha.

you know all the stuff that i said in my last post? about the girls from my school and stuff. today at garden city i realized... it wasn't just the girls at my school. i don't like teenage girls in general. and yes, i know that's hypocritical cause i'm a teenage girl and all (and i KNOW i do all these things i'm about to talk about) but sometimes, they really piss me off. i mean, girls are such bitches. everywhere they go, drama follows. if they don't like you, prepare to be labeled a slut/whore/bitch/skank/ho. if you have more guy friends than girl friends, you're a colossal flirt who will end up having no girl friends. if you're there for a girl when her friends ditch her, you're her best friend, but when they come back, it's like, who are you?

in my whole life, i've only been able to count on... *counts in head* two girls entirely. there have been plenty of girls that were there for me, then ditched me, and then came crawling back to me. and if they haven't done that, they've then changed so much because of other people that i don't want to know them anymore. but there have only been two that have never left me, and never treated me like i was shit. that's why i love luisa soooooooooooooooo much... she's never let me down. xoxoxox lu!! =P

and yes, i'm being a hypocrite, but this is my site, so once again, if you don't like it, click that "x" and leave cause no one's making you stay. kthanksBYE.

haha. no one's visiting this site or my poetry xanga. this is what i get for deep, introspective posts - or as deep as i get without people from school catching on who i'm talking about specifically sometimes. *shakes head*

go visit her site!!! =D

mmmmm. i'm drinking lemon cordial with soda water, and it is like, the best drink ever. mmmmm. it's YUM. like, nectar of the gods. go try some. NOW. haha.

i was talking to chiara today, and she was like "who are you going to miss the most?" and like, my first ten names were all guys, and she was like "why are they all... guys?" and i thought about it, and i was like "you know what? it's cause the girls at school are total BITCHES." i know i'm not one to talk, but like... there are some TOTAL BITCHES there, but they also have the nicest guys. but it's not like i hate all the girls at my school... i don't even hate most of them really. i just can't be stuffed putting up with their drama and their "he-said-she-said-he-said" crap. but the ones i am close too... they're the best girls in the world. they rock my world more than the guys do, lol. it's just that there are so much fewer awesome girls than guys... *in my opinion* anyway

and yes, i know i'm being a hypocrite, but this is my blog, so if you don't like it click that red x at the top right hand corner of your screen. got it? kthanksbye.

man, i wish i could just rewind the clock to like... year eight, maybe. best year of my life. or even term three? not really term two because a certain someone broke my heart and we didn't speak for like, two months. that took a LOT of willpower, not talking to him... but like... he hurt me so bad... but we worked it all out in the end, thank god. but term three... that was awesome. i never wanted it to end, but it did, and now term four sucks shit.

god, i feel like crap. and i pretty much know why but i'm not gonna elaborate cause i know people from school read this thing, and i dont' want everyone to know. if you ask me i might tell you. if not, well, better luck next time.

i love my chilean counterpart. she can make me laugh when like, no one else can. read...

haha... careers rocked today. which is weird, cause usually the class... doesn't rock, lol. but luisa brought her camera and we went crazy with it, lol... we even got mr. calleja to be in a few pictures (don't ask me why =P) and we generally acted like total idiots... which is cool. =D lu promised she'd burn the pics onto a cd, and then i'll post them up so you can see me and my friends =P

lol and in careers today, kenny called me a bitch (as a joke)... so i asked will to be my new boyfriend...

kenny: shut up, bitch.
me: kenny! you're so meeeeean
kenny: well you're a bitch.
me: i'm dumping you! will!! can you be my new boyfriend??
will: yeah sure... kenny i've got a gf now!! and she's your ex!!
ivan: ooh, kenny called manda a bitch and she dumped him, and now she's shacking up with his cousin! DRAMA!!!!!!

haha. good times =D

yesterday, i got hit with a football in the chest... one of those hardcore athletes in yr 11 kicked it, and i got winded >.< i couldn't breathe, and then i started laughing cause it was so ridiculously hilarious, and then i started crying cause it hurt so much... so there i was, not breathing/crying/laughing (or more like attempting to laugh) and will was like "manda... manda?? are you crying? ...you are! *panic* SOMEONE, HELP!! MANDA'S DOING GIRL STUFF AND I DUNNO WHAT TO DO!!!!"

that kid is priceless. he's my superman (and i'm his lois). haha

by the way... i got hosted!! ebony kindly agreed to host me, so i'll be working on my new site (with lots of help from the lovely roanne, lol). i'll be posting here until that site is up though, and then you can all relink!

anyway, i'm off to burn all my pictures from frayne day, dinner dance, etc onto a cd for my friends. later!

2005-11-11T16:30:00.000-08:00

i know i promised pictures from my job seeker's seminar... but... there was absolutely no time to take any!! =( so i will give you a rundown on what i wore instead =P

x. white fitting button-up top by miss shop
x. chocolate brown pinstripes by tokito
x. black strappy heels by bonbons

all very fashionable. lol. luke and josh wanted to send me to a bottle shop to buy some alcohol cause they both swore i had got the over-18 businesswoman look down =P

i caught the bus to get there! woo hoo! i'm usually not allowed to take public transport (parental thing... don't ask me why. cause i don't know, lol) and i had to fight tooth and nail to be allowed to, but in the end i got permission. i met luke and josh at angelo st. market's and we walked to our stop, and we got off at st. george's terrace, cut through london court, stopped by mcdonald's, met karly and shaun at the train station, and off we went. lol.

the seminar was pretty interesting... at one stage we had to do some role play thing and he picked me to play the bitchy secretary, and i got to yell at people and call them idiots, lol. me and kenny got picked for "most participated" and we have to attend some luncheon now. it's weird. lol.

but yes... we had council elections today... and... *drumroll*

JACK WENT FOR COUNCIL!!!!!! =D

i am so proud of that kid, you can't even imagine. i found out in the morning, and that, like, just made my day. (i'm such a freak lol). but yes... i voted for him (naturally...) and he was my first preference!! i hope he feels special... HE SHOULD!! =P but he'll get in, easy, cause he's popular and he would do a fantabulous job alongside my chilean counterpart luisa... lol.

i'll shut up now. =D

// edit @ 4:46 //

muahaha. i couldn't resist. i promised pictures... and so, pictures of me and roanne's stickers! we were incredibly bored one day... which resulted in...

STICKERS!!!

yes... that's both of our arms, covered in stickers. lol. the white jacket is mine, the dark blue is roanne's... you can see how incredibly crazy we went with stickers (when we got back to roanne's house, jo was just like "what? are stickers the cool thing now? do you realize how incredibly stupid that looks?" lol)

lol... you can see my "piano" sticker (i tagged a piano, lol) my "boy junkie" one (cause i am a boy junkie! lol) and "char siew bao" (my favorite chinese food) and my "cocktail" one (alcoholic drink!!) and "like sex" cause i think sex is a cool word. =D

lol... roanne and i decided to be STDs... so i became chlamydia and she became pubic lice. i then became an "individual" while she became "special"... and then... we were drugs... so i was XTEECEE!!!! haha. you KNOW we're cool.

and now... roanne's sticker! her alcoholic drink was fruit punch, her netspeak word was "lmao" (mine was "lol"), she was "special", and her nickname was beanie head!

roanne was a stabilo (while i was a sharpie) she was a "kn00b", and her drug was P.O.TEEEEE (otherwise known as pot, haha). she got a "magick" sticker cause we met these guys named magick, hamish, and february... who looked like they had just gotten sprung out of jail, so that was our little tribute to them.

and that's all my stickers, neatly pasted into my notebook! roanne put hers in a book too, only i didn't get a picture of it =P if you look closely... you can see the writing... hahaha. lol.

and last but not least... THE LIOPHIN!! it's a hybrid between a lion and a dolphin, lol. ISN'T IT COOL??? =D

lol. that's enough stickers =P

2005-11-08T21:21:00.000-08:00

just a quick update to say i have a new layout featuring rachel bilson. =D

i have decided that out of all the people on blogskins, i like pauline/starxcrossed the best... cause i hate stupid clicky layouts, lol, and her layouts are so pretty!

anyways, for all those i've *singled out* check out my post below! i'm off to take a shower and catch some shut eye...

2005-11-08T16:42:00.000-08:00

i've been singled out by thian!

Copy and paste the questions to your site and answer them, then pick five people whom you wish to be Singled Out. Don't forget to tell them they've been Singled Out.

1. You get one wish of anything, what would you ask for? ohh. hmmmmm. probably... for something that would make me incredibly happy? lol. that's so lame =P
2. What animal would you be? bengal tiger!! or arctic fox... so cute!!
3. Something you want to do in your life: a sucessful and powerful career person
4. One time there were these Ninjas... (finish the statement): and they discovered they were teenage mutant turtles... and they formed a ninja turtle club!! =D
5. One song you could listen to over and over again: beautiful disaster - kelly clarkson
6. Coke or Pepsi? coke!!!!
7. Something you currently desire: check out my wishlist (underneath my tagboard)
8. What's a "mastoid"? (Take a guess no peeking in a Dictionary): i would have no clue.
9. One good deed you've done lately: um. uh. hmmm. there must be SOMETHING... oh. i made lemon butter at school and gave it to my mom! lol.
10. A funny Moment in your life: oh god. how about funny but sad moments? cause i have a lot of those (most of them have one common factor: ROANNE =P) let's see... the garden city incident, the DNA tower walk, the harbor town incident, the straw dispenser incident, "blade french"... etc etc. and the fact that these things could ONLY HAPPEN TO US >.<

Five people you Single Out: roanne, hueyyun, yilin, andre, and vivian!

anyway, a cop came to our class today! cause in my history class, we're studying law, so he came and talked to us about arrests and stuff like that. he had these goggles that showed what it would be like if you had alcohol (0.8, i think) and i tried them on... my god, they were wonky. everything was like at an angle and everything was double and i kept feeling like i was gonna fall over... he asked me to walk in a straight line, and i couldn't =P then he made me weave between these cones... and i had to go really slow and i kept hitting the steps... and i ended up knocking the last cone over, lol. and then when i took them off i still felt kinda dizzy =P

then he showed us how to use a speed camera... and we got to use it, and i caught people speeding! woo!! lol. he didn't pull anyone over though, but i forget why... still, it was cool! muahahaha. i caught people speeding!! =D

i'm thinking of getting a new layout... i've got quite a lot of images in my sidebar (fanlistings, hatelistings, toybox, etc) so i'm thinking of turning all of them into popups cause they take a long time to load sometimes... and i have a new layout lined up and stuff, so it's not like i have to go look for one... i just don't know if i can be bothered putting all my links in and stuff at the moment, lol. and also... i really like this layout... so... bleh! lol. i'll probably put it up on the weekend? if i have time... i might be studying for upcoming exams... >.<

the boys say they have a plan. they wanna see me drunk before the end of the year. apparently i'd be a funny drunk... luke says he thinks i'd be continuously falling over (he's probably right =P) and kenny says i'd be pissing myself laughing (also probably right). all i can say is... it would be *interesting* if their plan succeeds (most likely won't). but... we'll see... muahaha. lol.

meh. very grumpy today. i have a toothache =( at first i thought it had to do with my wisdom teeth coming in, but my mom thinks it might be an infection, so i have a dentist appointment next monday. great! i have the dentist. well, i like MY dentist, but i hate dentists in general, lol.

apparently there was a party in east vic park and the house and car were totally trashed and police showed up in riot gear. all i can say is... hmmm. don't wanna say too much. only that the poor place was completely trashed after it was advertised on the internet. so, once again... hmmm.

You Are A: Monkey!

Monkeys are intelligent and agile, well-adapted for jungle life as they swing happily from tree to tree. As a monkey, you are a social animal who is quick to learn new things, loves to climb and is known to show off. A monkey's tiny primate features are irresistable, as is her gregarious personality!

You were almost a: Puppy or a Kitten
You are least like a: Chipmunk or a Frog Discover What Cute Animal You Are!

haha i'm a monkey! that's funny. although it is pretty accurate i suppose, once you read the description.

i came up with more stuff to fill out the three story ideas that are quietly gathering steam in the back of my head. lol. i started writing one, which i liked... up until like, the second chapter, so that's a bit of a problem. but i'm gonna stick with that, cause i've been brainstorming for that like, all the way back in may or something. but i've come up with an idea for like a two-part series type thing (nothing fantasy or whatever, my usual teen fictin prose-esque stuff) and i've come up with personalities and stuff to suit the characters, so i'm happy. now, if i could only write. (i still need to do my bit in LIES... so sorry ro!! I WILL GET IT DONE THOUGH!! hopefully in time so we can finish it in like, a month =P)

anyway. off to finish portfolio and get a start on these stories, lol.

and, i just wanted to say... i give my condolences to david's family =(

new additions/edits...

x. added more to my calendar (i gave up on pixel calendars. i just have a text one now =P)
x. edited/revised and added a new template to my lists section
x. id card - look!

don't you just love my eye picture? lol. i got into my head that it would be funky if i had a picture of my eye on the ID card, so i went into the bathroom, slathered on all this eye makeup (it doesnt' look like much, but it SEEMED like a lot lol) and went crazy with my camera. and out of the twenty or so i took, i only liked three. haha.

omg. i am so freaking accident prone. last night, i opened the door in a big rush, and the bottom corner of my door scraped against my big toe and tore out a huge chunk of skin, and it WOULD NOT STOP BLEEDING. for like THREE freaking hours, i was trying to stop the blood flow, and then i discovered we had NO BAND-AIDS LEFT. so i got those butterfly ones, and used up like the whole box trying to tape up my toe with enough pressure so blood wouldn't come gushing out. come bedtime, i took the butterfly band-aids off to wash the crap off and put antiseptic on, and then IT STARTED BLEEDING ALL OVER AGAIN. and since i used up ALL THE BUTTERFLY BAND-AIDS, i officially had NONE left. so i got out a big long piece of toilet paper, and folded it over, and wrapped it around my toe, then taped it up with sticky tape, and then put on a sock and went to sleep. come morning, the tissue is soaked through with blood and my sock isn't much better. lovely. and then when i told my mom about it, she went "we do have band-aids, you know. i just keep them in a different place now." and i was like WHAT?!?!?! *mumbles* just my luck.

then... i was on my brother's computer this morning, and he has like these really sharp drawer corners, right? my mom was calling me so i jumped off the chair, and my knee scraped the side of his drawer and now i have this cut on my knee. luckily it didn't bleed, but... AAHH. god. anyone remember the time i cut my foot during the fun run? and my shoe - white converse - became soaked with blood?!?! WHAT IS WITH ME AND BLOOD?!?!?!?

anyways, after these little episodes, my mom and i set out to the city and harbor town to buy "business dress" clothes for the job seekers seminar my year got conned into going. we went to myer first, where luckily i found clothes that i liked =D (i'll post pictures of me in my "business dress" wear and my friends at the seminar later... preferably when the seminar has actually happened =P) and then my mom bought some facial care stuff at jurlique. then i bought THE NOTEBOOK dvd, because i love that story so, so much and it was discounted, lol.

off we went to lunch... we ate at a little cafe outside myer (forget what the name is. bellicio's or something?). i had a ham and cheese foccacia, while mom had a chargrilled chicken panini. then i went to city beach and bought a messenger bag... it's black, with funky white graffiti-like design. it's cool =D then i went to target, and bought some pantene product for my hair, and some lip maintenance thing. i wanted to buy black eyeliner, but...

HOW FREAKING HARD IS IT TO BUY BLACK EYELINER?!?!? EVERY TIME I'VE GONE SHOPPING, I'VE SEEN MAYBELLINE'S 100% UNSTOPPABLE EYELINER IN ONYX. THE ONE TIME I WANT IT, IT'S NOT THERE. I FOUND PURPLE, GOLD, ESPRESSO, CINNABAR, AND JADE, BUT NO BLACK!!!!!!! god. i found GREEN EYELINER, but no black. honestly.

i was so frustrated by the time i got to harbor town that i bought a lip gloss to make myself feel better. (flashbacks of garden city, anyone? *looks pointedly at ro =P*) then i bought a veet bladeless rasera kit, and i FORGOT TO TAKE IT WITH ME after i paid for it... i only remembered cause i saw the girl who had served me (it was closing time when we left) and was like "um, i think you left something at the counter..." and i was like SHIT so i run back towards the pharmacy and pound on the door and the lady comes out and is like "oh yes... you forgot something..." so embarrassing (but oh so typical, lol).

but yes, i had a very good day today. am very happy. =D

now i'm off to tackle my huge mound of homework... *sigh*

kenny rocked up to school with this weird red-and-white net thing wrapped around his arm. it was SO not cool... and this is what happened...

me: kenny, what the hell is on your arm?
kenny: manda, IT'S COOL.
me: it is NOT!! look at it! it's like this NET on your arm!! since when did stupid nets become cool?
kenny: you're just jealous that you don't have one.
me: me? JEALOUS????
ivan (who was watching the whole time): hahaha it's so funny watching you two argue.
kenny: correction - it's funny watching HER argue and ME sitting there listening.

he does have a point =P

anyways, not much else to blog about... opening up a protected section on x_so_intoyoux... oohhh yes i found this on chelsea's site:

once you get to high school...
things change....
your best friends become bitches...
your boyfriend becomes a prick...
homework goes in the trash...
cellphones are being used in class...
detention becomes suspension...
soda becomes beer...
gum becomes pot...
bikes become cars...
lollipops become cigarettes...
lipgloss becomes makeup...
french kissing becomes sex...
yup...
we're growing up...

so true. kids, we're growing up.

haha. new updates...

x. new gifts section

i am REALLY frustrated by my fruitless search of a pixel calendar that you can customize by adding notes to dates and stuff. anyone know any good sites??? =D

anyways, i had my history excursion today! we went to the magistrate's courts, lol. we re-enacted the first trial in WA (john gaven v.s. the crown) and we all had parts, lol. i was one of the prosecuting lawyers, and daniel was my partner, and he and i had to wear black gown things, a white bib thing, and... A WIG. YES. WE HAD TO WEAR WIGS *falls over laughing* and they were really itchy by the way, even though we had to wear "hair nets" (looked like a shower cap to me) under our wigs... and they lady took PICTURES and sent them to our SCHOOL, so i bet you they will end up in the annual or some other embarrassing place.

anyway. so me and daniel were prosecutors, and brooke was defending (she had to wear a wig too) and daniel organ was the judge (he was also wig-ed. lol). nath was the judges' associate (lucky guy! NO WIG!!) and the rest... can't remember. i can remember jack's costume though, cause he wore this hideous multi-colored vest and a hat, and he stole the braids from sarah's costume and put them on so it looked like he had long braided hair =P

then we went to the modern-day court... and WE WITNESSED A MURDER TRIAL!!! how awesome!!! a woman's second husband was accused of murdering her way back in 2001 and they never found her body. we saw them cross-examine the woman's first (ex) husband... it was all rather interesting. there's an article about in on page 10 of today's paper, guys! =P and there was a channel 7 news crew outside the court lol.

mmm hmm. mrs. kavanagh assigned us to analyze and "make meaning" with fairytales today in lit in the groups she picked for us. luisa got hansel and gretel... i got PAUL BUNYAN. *doh* it's SO like mrs. kav to pick an american folk legend thing for me, lol. oh well. paul bunyan's all right. so is johnny appleseed (but no one got that lol). my group is the only one to have a fairytale that has non-european roots (i think?? lol).

i'm making an ID card on angelic-network. i'll put a link on it in my profile when i'm done! =P now i am off to see if i can get this stupid calendar thing i just found to work. i bet you it won't...

1. i chipped one of my bottom front teeth when i was 7. i was on top of one of these toy car things that you could get in drive around in, and because i couldn't fit inside it (i was too tall) i sat on the roof and my brother pushed me around our basement (this was before we remodeled it). he pushed me too hard and i slipped and fell face-first onto the concrete floor, losing half my tooth, a ton of blood, and getting scratches/grazes on my face as well as a fat lip. mighty pleasant, let me tell you. i don't know where that half a tooth went, lol, but the concrete had bloodstains on it =P i got a crown put on the tooth, which came off when i had my braces and they were fiddling with the brackets, so i got some weird stuff put on that should not have been put on and "trapped" all the bacteria near my gums, and it went this weird ash-grey-ish color (but not really noticeable). then i had a root canal where they drilled a hole in my tooth, dug out the nerve, and put some "dressing" in it, and fixed it up again. THEN i had a permanent crown put on, which i still have now.

2. tell me i have no life, but when i was with xanga, i went through usernames like water. i was with xanga for almost two years, and these are all the site names i had (a collection of journals, story, and poetry xangas) *takes deep breath*: vanilla_frosti, xXSweet_SixteenXx, x_anotherbrokenheart, xX_spoilt_movie_brat, a_complicated_heart, spoilt_movie_brat, xforeverendless___x3, xXdream_catcherXx, xXshattered_oblivionXx, xx_loveletters, x_lostxfairytalesx, ohsoxbeautiful. my current one is x_so_intoyoux AND I DO NOT PLAN ON CHANGING ANYTIME SOON =P

3. i have lived quite an international life. well international's probably the wrong way to put it, but yeah. i was born in hong kong, lived there for five years (i speak fluent cantonese =D even though i'm a mix, lol) moved to delaware (in the united states), lived there for six, moved to perth, australia, currently living here for four years. at the end of this year i'm going to move back to america, to chicago. i also had opportunities to live in japan and other places in asia, but for various reasons my family did not move there.

4. a boy and i once got pulled out of class by a teacher because of something someone told him that had "substantial evidence". he then asked us why he heard we were going out =P

5. i am worth $1,510,050 on humanforsale. how worthless am i? =P

Five people to pass this onto: chelsea, amanda, char, yukiko, tom, gab, and si qiao (yes, i know that's more than five, but they are all my xanga buddies and i'm not leaving anyone out =D).

anyway. onto other things, now that the whole "infected" business is finished with =P

we got our exam timetables, and i would just like to say that i would REALLY want to know WHY the math and english exam is ON THE SAME DAY. i mean, MATH AND ENGLISH, the two hardest and *most vital* subjects are on the SAME FREAKING DAY. i mean, we have a blank exam session in one of the exam days, so WHY DON'T ONE OF THOSE EXAMS GET MOVED TO THE BLANK DAY?!?!?! WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY??? and why oh why oh WHY are the exams AFTER awards night??? i tried to find out why today and all the ppl i asked got hell pissy at me... *mumbles* and i have to pack and shit during that time period too!!! *thrashes about wildly* AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

*breathes* okay. MOVING ON.

i cleaned out under my bed yesterday. well, i haven't finished, but i'm getting there, and already, i have TWO GARBAGE BAGS FULL OF CRAP. =D that is SO me. i am one of the messiest girls on the planet, haha. i did find some rather old, forgot-that-i-had stuff, and some stuff i did when i was little - you know those cutesy things they make you do in like, first grade? so i had a good laugh at my first and second grade self =P

oh crap. i have a foods presentation tomorrow on an overweight disorder (i'm doing hypertension) and i just realized that even though i had brought my notes home over the weekend, i was busy doing my stuff for lit (HAHA. DO NOT TALK TO ME ABOUT MY CRAPPY ESSAY) so i didn't look at it, and i had to take my file (with my notes) to school cause i had foods this morning, and I LEFT MY NOTES IN MY LOCKER. let's all clap for manda's brilliantness *clunk*

lastly, check this out... click

after reading the article... *altogether*: WTF??

2005-10-31T12:09:00.000-08:00

pupil free day today =D

i went on site overhaul over the weekend, and added all this funky new stuff to my side modules, plus a new layout =) so here's a quick update:

x. new keira knightley layout
x. added a lists section - you can go check it out, and see my lists of things i hate, things i love, my wishlist, my shopping list, etc etc =P
x. added a toybox section with various pixels i have adoped from various sites
x. added a fanlistings section
x. added a copyright section
x. added a rotations section
x. put a keychain in my profile section
x. new affiliate - eleanor! go check her out =D

things still to come:
x. pixel calendar
x. hatelistings

needless to say, my head rather hurts from all that html =P

anyway, i am trying to use this calendar script i found but i have no idea how to use it. so anyone know any good pixel calendar sites that i can use for free? =D

oh bleh. screw this stupid calendar, i'll tackle it later. gotta go finish off the last of my homework (lit paper!!! aaaaaaaahhhhhhh) and clean up my extremely messy room. it's amazing how my room always becomes this messy, really. it's like a work of art. haha.

oh, and by the way... HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! may all you trick-or-treaters get a lot of candy and be safe. lol. i remember when i used to go trick or treating when i was little... *sigh* good times. and si qiao's yr 8 halloween party... haha. that was the best, man =P

2005-10-28T21:45:00.000-07:00

i got some new affiliates...

x. hueyyun - aka fatalcalamity
x. si qiao - aka liquidxfantasies
x. lycia - aka stardust-x

go check them out!!! ;)

anyways i really don't have much to say. well actually i do, but then it would involve me blogging about an extremely... unusual conversation (well, for me, for the rest it was probably the norm) that took place in class, and i don't know if they read this, so i wont' really mention it (except for just then, lol).

tom and i were talking about how much some people have changed this year. i don't know if anyone else has noticed, but like this year, most people have changed DRASTICALLY. some good, some bad (some very good, some very bad =P) and i can't remember if everyone changed so much in previous years, or if it was just the transition from middle school to senior school. there are a lot of ppl i've gotten to know this year (will, jack, fady etc... i mentioned you again will!! F-A-M-O-U-S =D) and there are also people i've fallen out of touch with, and then people i used to be close to who i don't know anymore because of many reasons. then there are the people that used to be cool and now are irritating, or people that are letting their newfound popularity go to their head when they used to be so down to earth, and girls that completely degrade themselves to impress the boys. and then there are the new kids, who were thrown into the mix and changed some people (i'm saying just in general, not about a specific person). some days i love the way we are now, and other days, i miss who we were. *sniff*

this pretty much sums up my mood right now:

keep music evil says:
its 9:32 and im already bored with the weekend.
[ don't break this heart ] [i need to hear you shout my name from the rooftops, and i'll scream you something beautiful] says:
and it's a long weekend too.
keep music evil says:
i cant wait for skool again. seriously.
[ don't break this heart ] [i need to hear you shout my name from the rooftops, and i'll scream you something beautiful] says:
same. we're such losers =P

i would go downstairs and watch NED KELLY, but last time i saw that movie i completely bawled my eyes out and felt miserable because of poor old ned. so i think that's out of the picture. and i could also do the bazillion assignments and start preparing for my lit paper, but come on, it's friday night. like i'm gonna do homework then.

i feel bummed now for some reason. am going to go eat some chocolate mud cake in hopes of upping my mood.

2005-10-27T18:35:00.000-07:00

let's see if i can write a post before dinner =P

anyways, today was fairly nice, fairly laid-back... also fairly boring (ugh. as usual). in math today mr. d'adamo was REALLY pissed... he was like "i just blew my top off" (yes... "blew my top off" lol) "at my form class, and i'm really angry, so i want all of you to work quietly this period." so me and gab talked... and then i chatted a bit to ivan and fairoz... argued with chiara and tom... and all the while i was "working quietly." haha.

sport was actually all right today (aside from the fact that we left late, and came BACK late, so we had like much less recess time than normal) because we had mrs. pontre, who put us in charge of the touch rugby/football (i don't even know what we're playing lol) and brooke and alice and geneva tried to walk away, but natasha and i complained it was unfair that they got to go off by themselves so she sent me to run after them... it was so funny lol cause i was like sprinting towards them to yell at them (well, attempting to sprint. i am so unfit =P) and after a big of a shouting match, they finally came back to class.

it was the yr 12's last day today... they were outta control, man. they put bombs (someone said it was made of dry ice, someone else said it was from stuff inside a deodorant can) inside the trash cans, so if you opened it it'd explode in your face... they dribbled honey all down the staircase railings... threw raw eggs in the stairwells... toilet papered the honey-covered railings... threw waterbombs at everyone... it was rather fascinating, lol. they also had their farewell assembly today, and me and daniel hosted it. it went very well, and everyone (afterwards) was like "oh amanda, you and daniel did such a great job!" so i was pleased. =D lol when the band and stuff was playing, me and daniel were "bopping along" to the music backstage... white man's boogie =P

luke said something after lit that made me wanna cry, and because luisa was with me i wanted to cry some more. i'll miss these kids =(

soh soh day... right, luke? =D
lunchbox legends... right, luisa? =D

2005-10-26T17:08:00.000-07:00

mmmpphhhhht. i am sleepy. the documentary we watched in lit put just about everyone to sleep, lol... especially when they were talking about objects "leaking holy radioactivity." right. next time you go to the doctor, ask them to check your brain - sounds like it's leaking.

anyway, other than that, my week has been fairly boring... as usual. daniel bruce and i got picked to host the yr 12's farewell assembly tomorrow, haha. i got to miss out on period 6 and some of 7, and we don't have to sit in the assembly tomorrow, we just get to sit backstage behind the wings until we need to say our stuff. sounds good to me, especially cause the assembly's two periods =P

i added a hug counter to my site... it's underneath my tagboard... so click it and give me a hug so i feel loved =)

speaking of my tagboard... i like the messages you wrote on my tagboard, will ;) very innovative... haha. (p.s. if you're going to try and pretend to be someone, it might help if you spelt their name right... it might help you in the future =P)

mehhhh. nothing to do. nothing to write about.

i am bored. someone save me from boredom. (also, if you put your email in my subscription thing, leave a comment on my tagboard and tell me if it works... thanks!)

2005-10-24T19:11:00.000-07:00

and, once again, a new layout. lol. i promise to stop changing layouts so often, but even though i really liked that last one, it was kinda... squished. with a lot of scrollbars. so i changed to this, and it's a non-clicky layout, so everything should be good. =)

added a subscription option for all those who want to get my updates in their email - it's on the right hand side, so yeah.

man, today was boring. i was really pissed off in religion... i was just like... man, i'm so over everything. like, EVERYTHING. and as this was first period, it wasnt' exactly the greatest way to start off the day. but then in history, we did this trial demo thing, and i got to be the prosecutor, and i had to cross-examine daniel bruce and jack, which was funny =P even though the script said i lost the case...

and then in math, we got some extra time to do our tests, but i just stared at my sheet and was like... okay, no matter how much extra time i get, i'm gonna flunk this. will just handed it straight back in, lol. he was like "i'm too depressed reading this" and handed it back to mr. d, who was all "you don't sound very confident, will" and i was like "NO ONE'S CONFIDENT IN THIS TEST" (except chiara who's weird that way =P)

then i had my science test... oh boy. like all my answers were made up, haha. i wish i was smart sometimes. bleh.

tom is my fellow math loser/idiot/reject and we rule the school. and i have to go now and eat dinner, so no more blogging for me... curry chicken with rice. yum.

2005-10-22T20:29:00.000-07:00

new layout! mmmmmmm hmmmmm. finally got crappy blogskins to work - the server was down for ages. but yeah, i rather like this one, but i comissioned roanne to make me another layout, so i dunno how long this one will last... i get bored of things easily =P

anyway. so i didn't do much today, really... had a very interesting talk with my mother in the morning, and then ryan got me to play zoo tycoon on his computer (it's like rollercoaster tycoon but with a zoo... haha ro, remember when you were like, so addicted you'd be "itching to play" and suffering "withdrawal"? LOL) and i got addicted. i have all cool animals in my zoo, except i'm kinda low on funds or something like that, so i may have to sell some of my darling animals =( haha i'll shut up now.

it's will's bday today. i wonder what he got as a present? ooh. he says some of the guys pooled together their money and got him an mp3... lucky! i want an mp3 =P stupid bum wouldn't let me get him anything... but i WILL one day, whether it be bday or xmas or whatnot... hmmmm. he just said that he and kenny have my bday present "up and running" and should be ready for me by the end of the upcoming week. how interesting. the fact that my birthday was almost two months ago seems to have slipped their minds. silly boys =P

2005-10-21T22:16:00.000-07:00

oh bleh. blogskins isn't working, and i discovered some really nice skins yesteray and i wanted to put them on my site... but no, the site's down!! bleh!!!

anyways, i went shopping today in the city after school... haha i saw jake madeley there, and he was with his sister, and we both kinda recognized each other and then like quickly looked away... how awkward =P but he was the only person from school i saw/recognized... lol.

anyways, i went to dymocks and picked up THE PENTULTIMATE PERIL (i think that's what it's called) by lemony snicket... book the twelfth of A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS. haha, i've forgotten like, everything that happens... i think i should read book #11 before i read this one, just to jog my memory.

so then i went to target and picked up THE SECRET LIFE OF THE VERONICAS by the veronicas (one for me, one for ro as her bday present =D) and I AM ME by ashlee simpson (i don't care if you hate her, i like her!)... then went to myer so my mom could pick up some stuff for her my aunty in hong kong. then we went to toys r us to look for something my brother wanted but they didn't have it, and then i went to jb hi-fi to find ro's THREE DAYS GRACE cd.

i couldn't find it... so i asked this very emo-looking assistant to help me find it, and so we were digging around in the punk/emo/hardcore section and we started talking about the used...

emo shop assistant: so, do you like the used?
me: yeah, they're cool
emo shop assistant: are you going to go see them tomorrow?
me (pretending i knew that they were playing tomorrow): no! but i so wanted to go!
emo shop assistant: haha... i met the guy today.
me: bert mccracken?
emo shop assistant: yeah!
me: omg!! what was he like??
emo shop assistant: he was awesome! my hands were like, shaking the whole time, but he was really cool!

anyways, after that little convo, we couldn't find the cd, so she went to search on the database and discovered that they had two copies, so we went looking some more and couldn't find it, and then she got some other assitant to look for it who found it in about two seconds and looked as us as if we were idiots for not being able to find such an easy-to-find cd.

then we went to dinner at fast eddy's... mmmmmm. yum. greasy, fattening american food - yay! haha. i had a salad and a vanilla milkshake... yum. i love milkshakes =D

oh dammit. there isn't a "currently listening" function or anything on blogger. *pouts* well i am currently listening to ashlee simpson's I AM ME cd and the track is CATCH ME WHEN I FALL. yeah!

2005-10-20T19:56:00.000-07:00

newly updated: *click*

omg. you know what really annoys me? that bloody tom williams guy from THE MOLE. he is SO. FREAKING. ANNOYING. bring the old host back! i forget his name but he was cool. lol.

i'm slowly working my way through the lovely show called LAGUNA BEACH. kristin is a slut. lo is cool. christina and morgan are boring. talan is a player. trey is cool. LC is also cool. stephen... man i dunno. i like him best out of all the guys, but dude, WHY ARE YOU WITH KRISTIN AND NOT LC?!?!? grrr. oh well. i think something between stephen and kristin happen in episode 6 which i have yet to watch, so i'm holding out for that =P

i have a huge gigantic math test i have yet to study for. well actually, last night i opened the book, looked at the first page of the chapter, and freaked out and slammed the book shut and hurled it across the room. and then today in class i started writing notes, but then i got distracted with will, ivan, and chiara... so i don't think that counts as studying, lol. but i tried (although not very hard haha)

oh dear. luke just asked me to do him a favor. i hope it's not something bad, lol. oh... it has to do with our math test tomorrow. figures. how come luke asks me for help though?! he got top of the year last year in math and i scraped by with a low, low C. and yeah, he's not doing so flash this year, but still, the guy's smarter than me. how strange.

my head hurts =( i have a killer headache and i have all of chapter 8 to work through tonight. great...

2005-10-19T18:09:00.000-07:00

aha. so here we are, at my new blog. this is like what, site number... um... *counts* four? five? hmmmm. i'll stick around this one for a while though, cause you can customize better with blogger than with xanga... although i'll still keep x_so_intoyoux. and yes, i will stop talking to myself =P

anyway. kenny wasn't at school today, and he just came online so i asked him what was wrong. it went like this...

me: hey! you weren't at school today, everything all right?
kenny: yeah i was sick, had a fever or something
me: feeling better? =)
kenny: yeah slight headache though
me: *sends over big plate of cookies and a gigantic hug*
kenny: ew... dont' want cookies.
me: *takes back cookies and sends big gigantic hug and kiss*
kenny: ahaha much better.

and boys will be boys. =P

mmmm i had other stuff to write about but i forgot what. i should go close off my xanga and get that script roanne has that emails my posts to ppl that want them. not sure if anyone would though, but hey, i can dream =D

So yeah. off i go...

(i just realized that this site has NO STICKERS on it *looks at ro*. =O!! must go repost the stickers one day)
