Yo~! I figured that I should update for once :p

Classes start on Tuesday again and I have no clue what courses I have first  :/

 

I guess I should talk about my break?

 

Went to Hailey’s Christmas party = was fun…got a two inch bruise on my knee though from when I accidentally hit it against the foot rest >____<

I spent all my money on Christmas gifts for other people. Even all the money I got for Christmas T____T I think I spend over $100 on presents for people so if someone who reads this is POed that I didn’t get them one then TOO BAD~! D:< I spent barely any money on myself and I’ve started to dislike shopping after this break since every time I went I was always buying stuff for other people or worrying on spending to much so I would still have money to spend stuff on other people T________T

 

I have a need to go blow a bunch of my money on stuff for myself now…but that would probably hurt my gas money <___< but yeah….I have a real urge to go buy some toy plane earrings right now XD

 

On a brighter side~!

 

Christmas~! I got sheepworld bed sheets, underwear, two bottles of my favorite perfume, candy, tablet (bought it in September but it counted as a Christmas gift :/ ), $150 (most spent on gifts), markers, ….and that’s all I can think of at the moment…or that could be it…..oh, and dad replaced the batteries in my ipod.

 
OH~! We bought all three of the Godfather films and I saw the 1^st and the 3^rd but not the 2^nd (blame my brother -__-;;; <---who is here for the break btw~! :D) but yeah…oh, and I’m on like…ep. 60 of KHR~! >:D Hell yeah~!

Sarah Ding came to visit from China~! :D I hadn’t seen her since 8^th grade~! She goes to an international school in Beijing now~! And she said that if we come visit her this summer then we could stay at her house~! (she said this w/out any consultation from her dad though ^__^U ) but yeah…super awesomes~!

 

Mom bought me some new jeans and some nice black wedge shoes~! The shoes are a size to small though since they didn’t have 9 and I can fit into an 8, it just makes my toes hurt after a while :/

 

Claire and I had an art day though, it wasn’t very productive for me :/ but Claire gave me some black heals that didn’t fit her. Mom still has no clue as to how I walk in them XD

 

Saw Juno and ate at the Thai place w/ Sarah Ding, Savannah, Anna, and Claire.

 

Went to Anna’s drama night and saw My Girl. I stayed up all night watching it only to fall asleep half way through the last episode I didn’t get to see the happy ending T___T I’ll ask Anna about the ending later :]

 

After sleeping for half an hour I drove home (it was cold too D:< ) and crashed in my bed until like…5pm when Emma called me and invited me to karaoke XD it was fun, I think I needed it :]  Bought some snacks and sang, my parents went to half price books w/me afterwards and I bought the last part to Jochen’s gift :] (I am now completely done with buying Christmas gift-------I swear to god, only like…5 people are getting gifts next year >:[ )

Sooo…completely ignoring the post script from my last post, I DID go to the JCC Halloween party~! :D I think I really needed to do something social and feel like I have some semblance of a social life after being overworked with hw :P (I love how I seem to analyze everything I do XD)

 

But yeah…I bought the nurse’s costume~! AND I bought these SUPER AWESOME nurse’s shoes~! I LOVE them~! <333333333333 I might where them to school on Tuesday…along with the rest of my costume (why not on Halloween? Because I have my crappy classes on Wednesday and I don’t want to have to put up with it on Wednesday…..plus…I think the teacher will be more alert about Halloween costumes on Halloween rather then the day before :P)

 

Anywho~! This post is gonna be short and sweet since I’m gonna go do my English stuff now and possibly even some German or Physics (if I have any :P )

I felt the need to update... D:




So yeah...I have a baby sister now? XD Her name is Vennja Charlotte Engelke~! :D

AND~! She WORKS~! She does all of the thinks a baby is required to do: sleep, eat, and poop.

 

 

It’s kinda weird for me though since I’ve always been really awkward around infants and children (why would anyone want me to baby-sit for them? I don’t think they realized how weird I am around kids…I’d make a terrible mother… :P)

 

Anywho~! On to more resent news~!

 

I went out with Claire and Riley today :P We went to see 30 nights (ßor something like that?) It wasn’t that great. I wouldn’t have minded seeing it on TV but it’s not worth going to the movie theater for :/ 

 

We dropped off Riley ‘cause he has some sort of party to go to before Claire and I went to the mall for a few minutes and looked around and got some milk tea + IZZE. After that we went to the Halloween store near the mall. I think I’m gonna be a nurse this year (I guess?) ‘Cause I bought this SUPER AWESOME garter w/ a syringe in it (that was filled with red ‘blood’) and you can take it out of the garter and use it as a pen~! :D (it makes me VERY happy~! <3 ) I also bought another one of the pens w/out the garter so I can have one at school to write with >:D It’ll be so awesome~! <3

 

I think I’m gonna go with my parents and buy an actual costume some other time since I didn’t have the money to buy a whole costume. :P Claire didn’t buy one either since she couldn’t find one she liked :/

 

After the costume shopping we went to the Tai restaurant down the street from my house and had dinner (we both got the Clear Noodle Soup <3) and there were pretty asian guys there~! <3 well…one pretty asian guy there….but he made me happy :] (OMG~! There ARE pretty people in the world~! And they DO live near me~! :D)

 

So…yeah….I thinks it’s been decided that I will be eating there more often…XD

 

PS- I believe that there’s a JCC Halloween party tomorrow? I don’t think I’ll be going since I have all my homework that I have to do tomorrow D: We’ll see I guess…

Woot~! I actually DID buy a purse~~!!! :D

It's Monokuro Boo~! Here's a picture:



It was pretty cheap too~! I should have it by the end of this week~! <3333333333

In other news:::


I'm really reluctant to start my German paper....I kind wish we did it in class so there would be less pressure to write well :/ In class it always like "yeah, well, I ran out of time, so it's ok" but now I actually have to finish and completely write the essay :P


So yeah....I can't wait until I have a car~! :o

I'm sorry I haven't updated in a while...last week kinda sucked :p

Wah~! School starts tomorrow~! D; <------I'm actually not sure if I should be happy or upset...I'm kinda both :/

I've got to remember to bug my councilor about going into Pre-AP Physics instead of regular <____<

I think I'm just going to grab my purse tomorrow morning and put my schedule/locker comb/pens/some paper in there and just carry a the few books I need for tomorrow around with me :D

*EDIT* Sorry about the mess up I made :/ 'Tis fixed now~!

Hmmmm...I want a new purse :/

The one that Anna has is pretty awesome by it's a Betsey Johnson purse and it's fricken expensive. (<---Also...I can't find one awesome enough that I would spend that kind of money on it). I have however found a decently priced Tokidoki bag on e-bay...well, ok, I found two...but it's kinda difficult to  choose (not to mention, I haven't told my parents about them :P ). One bag is super colorful and the other is black and white. Part of me is like "OMG~! Colorful cuteness~!!!! That's so 'effen awesome~!" (especially  now with my whole 'brightcolor' phase) but then another part of me is like "Black and white matches to my overall wardrobe better....and I can take it with me to even formal shtuff". In the end...I think it would come down to price....but I don't even think it's going to happen at all :/

*Le Sigh* Just watch...I'm probably going to end up making this whole rant and i probably wont even get another purse! :P

Whatever~ Happy shopping, ne?

PS~ Concerning my 'colorful phase'. I now have yellow nail polish on :D It make me happy...but it also seams to make the fact that I have naturally tanned skin more obvious ....but I like the contrast :DD

PPS~ I currently have all of my APUSH summer hw done...'cept for these last 3 compare/contrast and epilogue question which, hopefull, if I'm not to lazy, will finish before I go to bed...otherwise...it can wait 'till tomorrow XD

Welp~! I'm reading two more volumes of D.Grey-man and I want to draw something but everything turns out as CRAP >_______<

I've got this super cool idea in my mind but my artistic skills are not up to par with the cool-ness of it all...*SIGH* It's frustriating.

Oh~! Today was my mother's B-day~! :D We went to eat at this Mexican restaurant  where I got a strawberry daiquiri.  :DDD

So yes...sorry for posting so randomly, just felt like typing~! :P

Habbo has left for Collage~! D:

He now lives in an apartment 4 hours away~! The bathroom we shared seems so empty with all of his things gone~ T_T

Though...it's probably better for him...he really needs to hang out with other kids his age...and he really needed something better to do then bothering me at 2 AM when he's bored :/

I'm sorry this post was random and short :/

Well, dinner was kind of weird today <__<  My dad and my brother are much faster at eating then I am so when they finish they usually just leave the table and go do their own thing while I finish eating, but today was different.

Habbo and dad finished faster then I did, as usual, and then then just sat there...not talking about anything <___<

and then it was kinda like..

"Well, we've finished dinner now let's sit here in silence while watching Fenna eat her food~!" >______<

Gah~! I hate it when people do that >____< Don't watch me while I'm eating! I just continued to stare down at my pizza and pretend like it didn't bother me  :/

Sorry for the random post~! :o

Hmmm....I've had this idea lately...and I really want to do it one day...I really want to see how it would turn out.

The idea is to go to school (or somewhere where a lot of people know me) and let people write any negative thought they ever had about me on my back. My idea would be that I would wear an open back shirt so that people could write on my back more easily and let them write with Sharpie what they think. I also thought of just sitting there with a blindfold and ear plugs on as well so I can't recognize who's writing on me. Though, if I decide to do that, I would need someone to watch over me while people write on my back because I don't want some person I don't even know to write some crap that has no relevance. I want whatever is written on my back to be complete truth without people holding back their opinion.

It's also kind of symbolic don't you think? Kinda makes the whole 'talking behind my back' think literal...

What do you guys think?

Wah~! Half my face is numb~! >___________<

It feels weird...I can't even feel it when I lick the right side of my lip <__<

Hopefully it will be (mostly) gone by the time I go over to Claire's~! (which...btw, I have no clue what time I'm supposed to be over there by :/ )

Oh, also, I'm not allowed  to eat sticky or hard food until the 12th (I think? I know it's a Wednesday) of September...

I wanted to write more but I can't think of anything...I think I'm going to have to get used ton writing short entries; I'm so used to seeing a bunch of text on here :/

Oh, and, completely off topic but, I can't read music worth crap :/

Hurray~! Zombie-Loan ep. 6 got posted~! :D <-----there are some yummy cannon pairings that become very obvious in this episode~! :D

I also started watching Cluster Edge~! I am currently on ep. 3 and stuck there until my brother stops walking in the room randomly and my mom stops sitting around in the computer room (I don't like watching anime with people walking in and out or looking over my shoulder).

In other news~~~~~>

Dad's almost done installing the wood floors in the soon-to-be nursery~! It looks cool, and much cleaner! :3

hmmm...I feel strange writing such a short post but that's really all I wanted to say 0_0  Oh wells~!

August the 21st
My B-day Party~! <3 (also picking up books and est. earlier that day)

August the 30th
getting a tooth removed O_O

I'll add more tomorrow~! I have to go to the dentist for the first time in 5 years or so, so I have to go to bed early (the appointment is at 7 or 8am -_-;;;; )      Pray for me~! D:

Hmmm...I thought I should update since it's been a while~! But I really don't know what to talk about : /

umm...well, I started watching Zombie-Loan! :D It looks interesting, but crunchyroll.com only has up to episode 5 so I'm going to go check the Free Manga coomun. in a minute (hehe...shortening community to commun. is fun >:D).

Oh! I went with mom to buy birthday presents for everyone!! :D <~~~ only...they're not very personalized since I had to buy everyone's gifts at the same time, and I had a set amount of money that I could use for each person : /

We ended up buying a rocking chair too! Since it was so cheap. I ended up getting my finger stuck in part of the chair while we were moving it from the store to the car and hurt it a bit. It's kind of weird though, since when I finally got my finger out it was all blue, but now it's just fine : / Oh wells~!

Umm...I've been listening Mozart lately...? Yeah...it's pretty kick ass :P

Other then that, things have been pretty boring...

Wheeeee~ Shopping! :3

I gots my nails done :D I wanted to get some cool design....but I'm lame and got nervous and awkward once I entered the nail salon >____> So it ended up kinda like:

 "So you want French right?"
 "uhhh...yeah! >_>"

So now... I have French nails (...Wei!) :P   I was really awkward though since the last time I was in a nail salon was....in 5th grade? And the Vietnamese lady doing my nails had a really thick accent so it was hard to understand her, she had to clarify what she was trying to say a few times >______< and I feel so bad~    but the two ladies there where still really nice :] and I think we're going to end up going there again...

However! I do have a plan for making super awesome nails at home by my self! But...I wont reveal my genius just yet! I want to see if it works first...that why I can keep my super awesome nail painting abilities to myself!! >:D       

(btw- the whole reason why we were in the nail salon in the first place was because mom got a gift certificate fro that place and didn't want it ----so she gave it to me :D )

~~~~

Anyways! After the nail fiasco, Mom and I went over to the mall and I got lunch (via Panda Express - I was soo hungry! :0)and when shopping a bit! >:D

I gots me some tank tops and some spaghetti string tops (how typical of me >__>) and then went and got me some sandals because my flats are cheap and aren't holding out...  D:

But yeah....I got up at 12am this morning (last night?) and now I'm tiered -_______________-  BUT! I WILL NOT fall asleep!!! >_< I MUST stay up! >________> Hopefully the computer will help me in accomplishing this feat!

~~~~

In other, more international news~ Nadja, a friend of mine in Germany, is currently smoking a pack of smokes a day -_-;;; When I was there last time she was already saying that she smoked to much, apparently it got worse :P Her parents wont buy her a car until she starts to smoke less : /    Oh well! Good luck Nadja!! (btw- Nadja is a grade/year older than me~ she currently has her permit and will have her license in October)

Oh, this is amusing~

I'm gonna post the article here

This is SO amusing to me. XD SO apparently I'm not the only one upset with the Grand Coalition? I don't know about you, but I rather would have formed a coalition with the Green and Left party than the CDU, especially after Schröder made that comment to the press ----> 'The SPD will never form a coalition with the CDU!' <______<  I was kinda upset when I found out the SPD formed coalition with the CDU/CSU back in 2005. I was hoping for another Green-SPD coalition (even though the green party's and the SPD's votes alone may not have been able to win if say, the CDU coalitioned with someone). *sigh* T_T



Sorry for the confusing German politics rant...this must be kinda confusing to someone who has no idea what I'm talking about, ne? Just ignore me XP

Some of you might find this boring, but I found it really interesting...




I found a blog maintained by a journalist in China. I found it while going through Yahoo! News. He posts every so often about different things happening in China. The blog is called China Rises and there are some interesting things he talks about. I don't watch the news so all my information about current day things either comes from the internet or things I overhear while passing the TV downstairs or in my parents room, so blogs about these things are pretty useful; especially since I don't 100% trust the news...not to say that I really trust this blog 100% either...I think both are kinda bias but at least this way I get some information regularly. :3 .......-_-;;;;   <------ignore me, I'm ranting

Point is, it's seems pretty interesting, so you should all go check it out! :D



Side Note------------------>(*sigh*) I wish I knew Chinese T_T
