First post in MA.

So before I say anything, I jsut heard a cute/annoyed announcement on the boat. "Whoever has a silver Honda Accord with a Mass. plate, you have a very lonely dog. In fact, it's so lonely, it began honking the horn. Please come down and give it a hug or something to stop the honking. Thank you."

So yes, about this about. It was the boat/ferry I took with my family and the car from Wood's Hole in mainland MA to Marth's Vineyard, an island about 7-9 miles off the coast. I finally have excellent Wifi, and am extremely...satisfied for the next half hour or so.

I've been to Plymouth (yesterday) to go on a whale watching tour. The view was amazing. The further out we went, the bluer the sky and ocean was. My bratty sister was just complaining about her lack of reception. I just shrugged her off and enjoyed myself. Thank goodness too. We came about some whales. There was this one humpback which came right up to the boat. It was exciting. Everyone was snapping pictures of it, nonstop. It was such a show-offy whale but it was cute. Later on, we came upon more whales. We even came up to a mommy whale and a calf! The tour was about 4ish hours long.

We got back on land by 6PM and looked for a restaurant for dinner. Let me tell you this now: if you plan to come up further NE, you have to try the clam chowder. It's simply delicious. After our seaside restaurant experience, we headed to the hotel for check-in. That's pretty much the end of my first day.

I'd go on and on to finish up today, but my time is short. I'll be doing a lot of typing on the side, if I can, and post it up when I get home (with better Internet, maybe). I sort of miss NYC but the way my sister's acting like usch a brat makes me thankful for this trip. I'm really enjoying myself here with my family (mom and sis are exceptions, of course. dw, my dad and bro think so too) and can't wait until tomorrow. My dad's letting me sit up closer to him. That means I can get away from my sis in the backseat and (sort of) avoid my mom. She babys us so much, it's sickening at times. I'm 17, but to her, I'm still 10 (or younger).

Ooh, looks like we're about to land. I'll go out on deck and check. Oh, another plus away from the city: you can see stars here. When my dad and I looked up, out on the deck, it was beautiful. I would've taken a picture of it, but it wouldn't do the view justice, ya know? I really want to come to a place like this. One day, when I can drive, have my own car, and money, I'll plan something with a group of my friends. How's that sound, hmm?

Just lovely.

My parents' idea of discipline is...rather stupid.

You can probably infer that I went through some sort of punishment last night. I did. Well, in my parents' POV. Once again, my sister and I were locked out of the house in the wee hours of the night. This was my second time and Carol's fifth, if not sixth, time. The reason?

We were too loud.

My dad once told us, "Lights out and silence by 11." Okay. That was slightly understandable unless I had homework and whatnot. Last night, my sister and I were being a tad bit too loud for his taste. It was 10:55PM. He decided to go to bed early, so when he woke up to tell us to get our asses outside, he was obviously cranky.

So what did we do? We chilled and talked for about an hour. Then we had to surrender to our bladders. We both decided to stay over at our cousin's place (which, THANK GOD, was up the street) and just chill there. I didn't see us going back in any time in the near future 'cause both my parents went to bed. They left us outside wearing nothing but tank-ops and shorts. Oh, it was kinda chilly for a night in August. I'm somewhat amazed I didn't catch a cold.

We stayed at our cousin's for about 2 hours before my mom called. She was worried about us. When my cousin told me, I literally laughed out loud. If she was so worried about us, she would've let us in the second my dad fell asleep. My cousin asked me what was the point of my parents locking us out. I merely shrugged and she told me it was the stupidest punishment she's ever heard of. I second that.

Right now, it is a lovely Thursday evening. Both my parents are coming home late. How late? Sometime past 9PM, hopefully. After my dinner digests, I plan to shower and sleep before either one of them gets home. I'm not in the mood to face either one right now. My mom called over 10 times today. This afternoon. This is one of the main reasons why, when I stayed home, I told her I was out. If not, she'd be calling home every 20 minutes or so to annoy the shit out of whoever was home at the time.

And guess what she said over the phone? A long, repetitive lecture. And also, a list of chores to do. Chores, I'm fine with. Repeating yourself in every single call you make(which was a lot)? I would want to punch the poor unfortunate item closest to me. Which happened to be my desk. Let me tell you. It relieves the stress and anger momentarily (boy, does it feel good to let it out) but the stinging pain will be a bitch, depending on how hard you're punching.

Boy, you can tell I'm ranting. Look at how long this post is growing into. -__- And I wanted to make it short. Pfft. Oh, as you can see on the calendar: next Monday, I'm headed out to Massachusetts for my annual family vacation. That means a whole week with the family. Oh freaking joy. I can't wait. -dispose dripping sarcasm here-

Well, that wraps it up. I have my annual check-up tomorrow. It's early-ish in the morning, so I should go sleep. Before someone gets home. Good nights!

Edit: I started my Common App today. I registered for the SUNY website today too. I'm going to work on my Common App essay for Bing whenever I don't have internet. I wonder if I need a separate Common App essay for every school I'm applying to. Or if one would do for all? -shrug- I'll ask someone later on.

And I don't know

How I would ever go

All alone walking on my own.

Another stay-at-home-day.

I need to get out. Right. Now. I've been feeling too lazy and unproductive. I need to work out. I need to just get out there. I should give Johanna a call and go handball somewhere. Hmm, Metrocards expire on Thursday. So no Metro on Friday ): !

Meh, I'll live.

I don't know what spurred this, but at the moment, I'm liking the BTR songs. They're catchy and the lyrics aren't terrible. Maybe it's just me. Maybe I'm having a phase...oh well. I like. (:

Oh! I made spaghetti and meatballs today and I'm extremely full. I had an early dinner though, so it should digest soon...very soon... Maybe I should go biking tomorrow morning. Or most of the day, or all day. Lawls. I'll see. Oh, by the way, I'm thinking about reusing some of these lyrics in the future. Far future, don't worry. (:

Gotta keep on believing

That everything takes time.

I'll make up any reason

To make you mine.

Can't hang on weekends? Yea, right.

So yesterday was Saturday. Carmen and Sam came over to chill. The original plan was to go to Carmen's place-no, bike to Carmen's place- and chill there. But as always, things never go according to plan. I had to babysit 'cause my sister wouldn't let me go out. She was allowed to go out and pick up her friend but that meant I was stuck at home? No, gtfo.

So because I couldn't leave my house, I had them come over. I set up the MJ table, brought drinks in, set up the stuff I was going to use for the fried rice, and waited. Sam called and I went out to the station to go pick him up. We would've waited for Carmen, but he had to pee. Badly. I thought he learned his lesson from Max and Ron the other day. Apparently not.

We waited for Carmen to arrive. It didn't take long. I was working on her card when she just popped in my room. She rang the doorbell...downstairs. My grandma opened the door for her. I told her to call me when she got here. -sigh- Carmen. She wasn't hungry yet and neither was I, so we started MJ. Later on, we took a break, I made some fried rice (heh, it was good, but not salty enough. Maybe I should've added salt. D: ) and Erin, Carmen's cousin, came over. We MJed more and before we knew it, it was time to leave. My mom was coming home soon.

She knew they were here already 'cause I told her but I still wanted them to leave before she got home. I don't really look forward to my friends meeting either one of my parents. We decided to sot of bike to Carmen's place but Sam and Erin had to leave. While we were in the garage, Sam had a fail. A very, very bad fail. I won't say it now 'cause he's going to kill me if I do. :x Maybe one day. Lawls. Let's just say he can't read. And he'll be needing some new shoes.

We grabbed a bike and left. We dropped Sam off at the train station an Erin left right after. Carmen and I walked/biked to her house down at Kings Highway and had a nice chat. It was completely random, but nice. I feel like I haven't had a one-to-one with a lot of people lately. I want more. Yes, I'm a selfish little one.

It's getting late (no, not really) and I should go sleep (yea, riight). I have absolutely no plans tomorrow. Everyone either has work, is out of town, or busy with something. I have no life. I might as well stay home, redo my nails, workout, attempt to cook something, and maaybe clean. Or gaming. Either way, looks like I'm staying home tomorrow.

I feel so lazy though. ):

You know that it doesn't matter,

As long as we got each other.

While listening to this song, it made me think of my upcoming senior year. It made me think of what I'd be up do the night of prom. It also made me think of other things, but most importantly, of my future. What will I be like a couple of months from now? One wonders.

Zoos smell. Bad.

I'm tired. Reeally tired. And I don't have much time on the Internet now..so short summary? We arrived at the Bronx Zoo at around 10AM. Left around 4PM. We went to almost every free exhibit and walked around them at least two or three times. After Monday and Tuesday, my feet are aching and I'm tired.

And I'm going to bike tomorrow. Yays. Well, beats staying home. With my mother. Yea, she has off.

OH NUS IT'S RAINING TOMORROW. What the heeeeeeeell?! Hmm...hoping for no morning showers. Then I'd be a bit screwed. It's raining/showering on Friday too. I don't have any definite plans for Friday, atm. Should I keep my metro and waste it if I'm not going anywhere? Totally. You never know what random event's gonna spring up, ya know?

I guess I'm still sticking with biking tomorrow. (: Then Carmen's after? Possibly/most likely.

Let me hear your voice

If we become honest, surely

We'll be able to understand each other.

Let Me Hear Your Voice; Big Bang

This was a stupid waste of my time.

So, I had to look up some stuff for my dad, right? The second he steps into the shower, my sister comes out of the room. "Can I chck Facebook for a second?" No, you can shut the fuck up and take teh desktop.

But noo. I still can't go shower 'cause I'm stuck doing useless shit that won' even go in affect when we go on vacation. I'm so tire. All I wanted to do was come home, shower, and sleep. Instead, it's almost 12 and I still stink.

I wanna punch something. I already broke a glass today and nearly cut myself with it. What more is there tonight? Hmm?

Who wants to fucking try me?

Ah, so much walking.

Walked from Tech to Lutheran yesterday. Walked from Tech to Chinatown today. Ohh boy. And tomorrow? We're walking around Bronx Zoo. And the day after? No idea. I think I'm just oging to bike all over Brooklyn. Who wants to join me? :D

-cricket cricket-

It's not soo bad! I think I either build up endurance (no, not really) or muscular strength (somewhat?). Maybe I'm just toning my leg muscles...hopefully.

Well, I'm a bit tired now. I'm only on for once 'cause my dad wants me to look up some stuffs for my nonexistent vacation, atm. He's being extremely vague about what he wants and yet he's the one giving me an attitude. -siigh-

I've gotten so used to using my netbook and it feels weird to be on a desktop. Hmm. I should bike somewhere and chill at the library on Thursday/Friday, with my charger. Lawls. I honestly have no idea what I'm going to do for the rest of the week AND next week. -face palm-

Oh, turns out I'm not going on vacation the last week of August, as I thought. We're going the first couple days of September. In my opinion, this is kind of stupid. I was hoping to chill the last few days before school, but I have a feeling my dad's going to cram a couple of trips to the beach. I don't mind the tanning...but I don't want to go through the trouble of going out.

How can I give you all of me,
When all I get is half of you?
Now, tell me what am I supposed to do?

All of Me; Varsity

tonight is the night to let it go; i wanna see how you lose control.

Yesterday, after dinner, everyone decided to go for a walk. My dad and I were the only ones at home; I was finishing up some chores while my dad was working on the stove downstairs. I suddenly decided to blast some music and sing along. And the first song that comes up?

That's right, Sam. "Down" by Jay Sean ft. Lil Wayne.

I think instead of a countdown, I'll do some lyrics spam as a closing for my posts, yea? Then I might start with the countdown when school starts, with the assistance of the handy-dandy calendar on my school's website: countdown 'til graduation. It'll actually matter to me. Wow...so soon.

More on that another day. Let's dedicate today's lyrics to a certain...Squishy Fishy I know. (;

So leave it behind,

'Cause we have a night to get away.

So come on and fly with me,

As we make our great escape.

So why don't we run away?

Happy Early Birthday, Carmen!

So today was the karaoke party for Carmen's birthday. Her birthday's on Monday and we all celebrated with her today. The karaoke party was at Crystal Cafe from 2PM-6PM, but my dad wanted me home before 6. I was on time. Kinda...I'll get to that later.

I was supposed to meet Sam and Ron at Sam's house. I was kinda late. We were supposed to meet up at 1:30 but I didn't get to his place until 2, when the party started. We weren't even the latest ones there. Could've made my card D: ! But I took the N train to the D at New Utrecht. I got off at 9th Ave and met up with Sam and Ron. We walked the short distance to the karaoke place. Oh, Ron pointed out Sam's house to me. "It's the one with the broken/beat-up door." I swear, it was lawl-worthy. "Just walk up the block, look for the beat-up door and you know you're at Sam's place."

We all had a fail when we arrived at Crystal Cafe. Well, Sam did. No one was downstairs when we arrived so we headed upstairs. Found no one. Sam called Carmen while we were walking back downstairs. "I could've made the card! Told you we were too early!" Yea, that was me. We ran into Carmen on our way out the door. Turns out there was another door that led directly to one private lounge for parties. There were a couple of people there already; no one I knew came yet. We gave everyone our hellos, I attacked Carmen and the three of us took seats at the MJ table. Hey, Carmen pointed it out.

Here's what went down: Ron won two games and Sam won two games. I didn't win any until teh next game. I think I only won one or two games. ): But at least I didn't have my losing streak! During the MJ games, random people were singing random songs. At first, there were a lot of Korean songs. Then came some familiar hits. Then more random songs. Then some depressing and slow Chinese songs, more familiar hits and I left. That was just the songs. We had some fun in between. Oh boy, did we have fun.

Edit: Oh right. Sam was supposed to sing. Carmen found Down by Jay Sean, one of Sam's favorites. Ron and I were practically holding him down, but he refused. I should've told Ron to sing a duet with him. That's would've been the video of the year for me! Ah, but we had fun (; Thank goodness no one made me sing. I was singing along to some songs but it was meh -shrug- I'm not in chorus for a reason. :P

At some point, Carmen went out to get a cake (I think). Connie and everyone else were setting up a cake and Ron asked, "How are you going to split a small 10-inch diameter cake with 25 people?" "Uh, Ron...I don't think everyone came." -looks around- "Still." We were sort of hungry. My drink never came. ): ! I was thirsty as heeeeeeeell. Carmen blew out the candles, we sang and applauded. Then came the cake. Literally. Someone cut up the cake and people began distributing it. Ron and I just stood in a safe-ish corner while Sam went to get cake. I didn't mind not having any if there wasn't enough. Then we heard a commotion.

That's right. People were getting caked and being caked.

Ron and I avoided the whole thing while Sam came back with some cake. I got a slice from someone and Carmen came to me. Then she splat some cream on my face. You can guess what happened then. I chased her down, creamed her face and sat back down. Sam and Ron saw my face and just laughed. Then Sam got creamed by Carmen. Ron and I held him down. Lawls. There was a bit more caking and creaming after that. I think at some point, Sam was plotting something and needed Ron's back-up. It didn't happen, I guess. After cake, we played one more game of MJ and I left.

I got home at exactly 6:08PM. Thank goodness my dad was napping so he didn't know exactly what time I came home. He assumed I was on time. Yays. It was a close one though. He woke up 15 minutes after I got home.

In short, it was a fun afternoon. It was a nice day, until I got home. I won't go into detail on that; I don't think it's worth the time and space, at the moment. It'd be nice to have another day like this, but as Ron said, "Dude, this won't ever happen again." He said it was too good or something. "Mass orgy." "This is foreplay, right here."

Yea...that is all for today. (:

It's been 51 days. Already?! Hmm, maybe I should keep count of something else?

I want my own TV.

So I don't have to fight to watch my shows. Goddammit, why do my shows have to be at night? 8PM, no less. -bangs head against wall- It's not fair!

Ah, it's 10:30 and my netbook is dying. Answering a few more IMs...finish my episode tomorrow x_x.

This is so inconvenient. -dies-
