Top Ten Reasons Why I'm Not Going To Prom! An awesome Webstore, and Kevjumba creeperness!

I'm a Junior, so you know what that means. PROM. Not for me.
Holy crap, everyone is nuts. I'm not going, but people keep asking me (asking me why I'm not going, not asking me to it). So I've decided to make it easier for people.

So, here you go:

 Top Ten Reasons for No PROMNESS:


10. Well for starters, I can't go even if I wanted to. I'm Jewish, and my family is Shabbat observant. The Sabbath doesn't end till around 9 that night. Which means that if I really did want to go, I'd only be able to make it for the last hour or so, and that's really not worth the struggle. Everyone's tired by then and it's no fun.


9. It's so so so much money! I don't understand why people spend 300 dollars on a dress that they only wear once? I don't have a job during the school year and I'm trying to save up for a nice camera. If I did go, I'd try to find a 40 $ dress, but that's not the point. The point is everyone is nuts!


8. Limos? Limos? Why do you need to spend hundreds of dollars to book a limo for less that a thirty minute ride. Isn't the point of a limo entrance to make a special entrance? If everyone's doing it, how is it special? It's madness. If you want to make a memorable entrance, I think you should ride a horse or motorcycle...


7. Dates. Well it's not like anyone asked me anyways so I really don't feel bad about not going.


6. Also, the fact that I dislike roughly about 80% of my Junior class is not pushing me into going to prom either


5. My mom is anti-prom. Neither my brother or sister went, so that means I'm not going.


4. I suck at "group dancing." It's sort of embarrassing, actually.


3. I'm not really the "prom" type of person. I actually hate like girly dresses. If I did wear a dress, I'd like lolita style, but I can't really pull that off...


2. I'd probably sprain my ankle attempting to dance in high heels.


1. It's just, not for me....I guess.

*Sigh*

It's about 2:40 am. I figured that by deleting my facebook, I'd spend less time procrastinating, and more time being productive, especially since I have like three huge exams that are a little more than two weeks away. Speaking of major exams, I got a 2160 on my most recent practice SAT exam, which is good, but I still want a 2250...that's my goal.

So what have I been actually doing all night? I did a tad of homework, maybe less than a tad. I was watching a lot of YouTube....lot's of WongFuProductionsess. And Kevjumba. If you follow me on twitter, you might realize that I have a borderline obsession with Kevjumba. I feel like if he ever replied to me, it would be the best moment of my life (sad, right?).

Hmm... if Kevin Wu took me to prom, that'd be another story xD

Anyways, maybe it's time to stop with the creepy Kevsession time....

I also found some super awesome cool stuff on Etsy!

The things that used to mean so much to me

Have gone the way of dinosaurs, hopes and dreams and everything...


Why I'm angry? Several reasons:

1. Just got my second SAT (practice) test scores back. I did worse than my freaking diagnostic and I've been taking a stupid course since the very beginning of March! It's one thing when you work hard and it pays out in the end; a whole different story if it doesn't!
2. Spring break is over, and once again I'm surrounded by idiots. I can't wait for college!
This is a conversation I heard on the bus this morning. Thank goodness I only heard a snippet, I would've shot myself in the face had I heard anymore!

"So then she like, spat the gum out. And she like, had barely even chewed it! And so I was like "Oh my GAWD, you are such a waster!"

^^Gag me with a spoon

3. I still have pink eye and I've been on anti-B's for like ten days?

4. I'm really really behind on classwork

SO yeah, my day= not going well.

I hate school! Get me the *^&^ outta here!!

Okay guys, here's a challenge for you. I got a 25$ gift card to amazon.com and I'm considering buying this super-awesome 23 inch Piplup pillow.

squeeee<3

 However, before I do, I want to make sure there is nothing more awesome out there. The challenge: If you're bored and have nothing to do, find the most awesome thing on amazon.com that's cheaper than 25$ and link it back here!

Today is mah Birthday!

WOO FREAKIN WHOOO!

I finally get to take a break from my exhausting life and enjoy a few days! I mentioned that I'm taking a 2 and a half hour SAT class twice a week, plus home work from that, plus my regular work load= AHHHH.

Anyways, like I said, I'm 17 years old today! R rated movies yeahhh boiiii! I actually had a chem quarterly AND an APUSH test today which was a sort of horrible way to spend my day. I was actually supposed to go on a field trip to an art gallery (where my teacher submitted some of my work) but now I won't get a chance to see it, because I couldn't miss school.

But since I have no school tomorrow (for a teacher conference day), I'm celebrating my birthday by seeing Alice In Wonderland with a few friends, and then two of my closest friends are sleeping over soooo I'm uber excited!

I also just realized that I'm not going to be in any of my classes for a full week....Monday= our schools Cultural Fair (!!!), Tuesday and Wednesday= Passover. I'll be in class Thursday, and then it's April break so I'll have another week off from classes! YAY! Haha

Sooo um sorry nothing fancy, I'm actually in a rush, but I'll hopefully return from my hiatus on Sunday to catch up on blog reading.....

till then.....

Let me clear...my chest?

A list of different things I would like to say to different specific people, but never will:




1) I love you more than earff. Thanks for being such a great friend. My life would suck without you!
2) I've liked you for so long, but we never talk anymore. More than the fact that I miss seeing you, I miss your friendship. You would always ask me what was going on, or how stuff went for me. I wish I had told you before how much our friendship meant to me before we drifted apart. I really wish I could say this to your face.
3) I wish you would come over and talk to me once in a while so I don't always have to be the awkward one. 
4)If you want me in your life, make some room for me, cause I'm done trying.
5) I'm sorry I've been so weird and obnoxious around you lately. I swear I'll stop. Just give me another chance. Please?
6) You tell me that we're friends, but then you tell me that I'm annoying. Can you make up your fucking mind? I am so so done having fake friends.
7) You shouldn't string him along like that. A lot of girls would give their canine teeth to be with him, including me.
8) It's funny how when you're with your friends you're a complete asshole, but when we're alone you're really nice. I wish you would let your true colors shine through more often!
9) Thanks for being a good friend, and liking me no matter how horrible I am to you. I hope we never fight again.




I feel so much better that that's off my chest now ^-^


It's midnight.
I have an assignment/project due tomorrow
I'm halfway done
I have to wake up in 6 hours
And I have to give a speech to the board of ed tomorrow night...




AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

nightmare. And then, without Blankie knowing, Silly Bear touched Blankie, and Blankie jumped out of her bed, Screaming, "HOOOOOOO getting me this big nightmare." And then Silly Bear said, "Follow me; I'll show you a surprise." And there was Blue playing Blue's Clues. And Blue said, "Hi Blankie," and then Blankie, without her knowing, played Blues Clues, and Blankie was Steve, and then she thought, "Why am I playing Blues 'Clues?" And then Blue said, "Let's see what you're going to do in the morning!" And after Blankie woke up, she said, "Let's play some Hockey! But there aren't any skates or sticks, so I'll play with my friends." And Blue got another friend Booshy. And then Blankie was playing golf. Blankie loved playing golf, even if it wasn't on roller skates. And Blankie just loved playing golf, so she dreamed about it, and had a great time!

THE END!

DSLR=FTW && Google Buzz=WTF

I have made a decision. Concerning my pocket.

I will not buy anything online or in the mall at all (unless it is an amazing 10 dollar bargain or the likes of that) until I purchase a D-SLR Canon EOS Rebel. I'm not sure which exact model yet. They run about $500-800 in general. Holy holes!

This might be difficult, but I think I can handle it.

I decided upon this during advisory today. I came back from doing an extra credit assignment to my class, and my friend (who's taking Photo 2) had one of the school cameras on his desk so I picked it up and started taking some shots. I just missed it so much, and now I have to have one!


Also, have you seen the thing about Google Buzz? From the ten seconds that I took to read it over I derived, it is basically a Google rip-off of Twitter. I know Blogger is powered by Google, so I won't totally black-list it, but really Google? We already have Facebook and Twitter, and I find Twitter way too confusing for the likes of me in the first place so why would I use Google Buzz.

Uggh. Society is stupid. Google and Steve Jobbs are going to take over the world, I swear.


I know, I know, all text.
I suck, I know.

Sick for Cute and midterms -_-

Just a coolio online store that I'd like to share. I haven't ordered anything from here yet, as I'm careful with ordering stuff online, but some of their products are just so cute that I may give in.

Ten Dollars. I just love pandas!

Wait. On Second thought I need someone to stop me from buying out the ENTIRE STORE!

In other news I received my midterm grades today.

The Good News: I got in the mid-nighties on math even though I missed the entire first quarter and never learned the stuff

The Not So Great News: High eighties on Chem -_-

The Legit Bad News: Low eighties on APUSH.....I studied for HOURS, I read 400 pages in my review book....and I got a 5 on the DBQ.....that's out of 9. Shit (pardon my French). My parents may disown me.....

Anyways this is just something I made messing around on photoshop last night. I would very much like to do a series of pictures like these and put them all together. Feedbacks?

~Sonny

PS. Yay 14 followers! You guys are lovely!! 20 would be lovely *hinthint*

Fin!

Yay exams are finally over and now I can enjoy my weekend! Didn't do so hot on chem really, didn't even bother to check my answers, I just wanted to escape! I still have 20 more pages to read in my textbook for Monday but I'll do that later. My plan for the rest of my weekend? Finish watching the Hangover online (everyone says it's so funny, I don't think it's that funny....),  watch Inglorious Basterds again with my daddy, watch Korean soap operas until 3 am, and then maybe go to the mall tomorrow! Freedom, I love it!

Also last night I had this really weird dream. I dreamt that I was playing violin again :( I used to take lessons when I was reallllly young  (like age 5) but I quit because it hurt my neck. So yeah regrets. I told my parents about it and they told me that when I go to college maybe I could take like a violin 101 course or something like that. I know I've lost a lot of time on it, but I really would like to learn how to play an instrument!

Bad News?: The semester is over so now I'm not taking photography anymore. However, I'm planning on buying and SLR camera with my birthday money that I'll get in March.....I will still be taking pics with my digital camera, but nothing that special for now.

^^What I Inspire to be Like ^.^

It just makes me feel so freeee

Whoooooo (my version of a sigh of relief)....

Three exams down, one to go! On Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon I had to take an English regents test which is required by NY State (I hate this state!!!). Two days spent in a gym for 2-3 hours each day. Torture!! For the test you have to write two essays each day. Tuesday we had to listen to a speech and write an essay on the benefits of public parks, and then read an essay and chart on ORGANIC FARMING and write an essay on why it's a viable career option. Yes, I am killing myself with AP and honors classes so I can grow up to become an organic farmer and work at Wal-Mart! Wheee! I think it was more of a brainwashing session than an actual test of our abilities.

Then yesterday we had to do a literature comparison and write a unified essay on life changes using both texts.... One was a poem about a boy turning ten (I have to admit I sort of liked it):

The whole idea of it makes me feel

like I'm coming down with something,

something worse than any stomach ache

or the headaches I get from reading in bad light--

a kind of measles of the spirit,

a mumps of the psyche,

a disfiguring chicken pox of the soul.

You tell me it is too early to be looking back,

but that is because you have forgotten

the perfect simplicity of being one

and the beautiful complexity introduced by two.

But I can lie on my bed and remember every digit.

At four I was an Arabian wizard.

I could make myself invisible

by drinking a glass of milk a certain way.

At seven I was a soldier, at nine a prince.

But now I am mostly at the window

watching the late afternoon light.

Back then it never fell so solemnly

against the side of my tree house,

and my bicycle never leaned against the garage

as it does today,

all the dark blue speed drained out of it.

(via weheartit)

This is the beginning of sadness, I say to myself,

as I walk through the universe in my sneakers.

It is time to say good-bye to my imaginary friends,

time to turn the first big number.

It seems only yesterday I used to believe

there was nothing under my skin but light.

If you cut me I could shine.

But now when I fall upon the sidewalks of life,

I skin my knees. I bleed.

Billy Collins

And the other passage was a short story about a boy from Italy befriending a lighthouse keeper in Wales, and then returning the next summer to not be recognized by him....it was weird. The funniest part was that that evening when I went on Facebook there were all these groups about the regents stories the same day we took the test. Internet makes information travel fast. Anyways the groups are hilarious: Organic Farming is MY career choice! -_-, your life doesn't change at 10 & what is that boy doing in a lighthouse !?, The Light House Keeper Got Alzheimer's to name a few, and there are more constantly springing up....each with wall posts on what the boy and the lighthouse keeper "did" together xD

And finally, the final essay I had to write was a critical lens (evaluate a quote using two works of literature). The quote was pretty easy---whosoever does wrong, wrongs himself. I used the Crucible and the Kite Runner, but *facepalm* I forgot who the author was and we were supposed to include that. I talked to my ex-English teacher today in the library and she said she read my essay and it was "good" but other people messed up and wrote about karma, instead of characterization like they were supposed to....rant rant rant, I know, I'm sorry x_x

(via icanread.tumblr.com)

SO I had math and AP....math was mainly guessing for me since I switched into the class half-way through the semester....After math we had two hours before our second test and so both of the entire AP blocks were in the library....we were at every table group pow-wow studying and outlining last-minute essays (she ended up giving us the easy DBG, TG). 3/4 in I just gave up and sat with my friends. The test itself went....okay...... :/

Oh God, isn't that true?

Let's do it!!

College Stress

First of I'd like to thank E V E R Y O N E that voted for my sister in her art contest. We don't know the winner yet but if she wins I'll let you guys know

So I KNOW I have not updated well recently but my exams start tomorrow and I have been studying like a madwoman. Unfortunately I haven't started chem or math, but those are easily crammable. So erm, my APUSH grade is a 97.3?? Wtf how did that even happen? Apparently I beasted my project and test (well beasted it for me), and I didn't even do any extra credit cos I'm too lazy. So now I have to study-udy-udy till my brains fall out for the midterm because if I do bad on that *poof* there goes all of my hard work for the entire semester.  In other news my photo teacher said he submitted some of my works for our school's literary "graffiti" magazine, so that should be exciting. I also have to dig up an amazing piece of literature that I wrote from the files on my computer (if one exists) and submit that to a literary contest for a scholarship.

Oh and that reminds me. Last night I had a college epiphany. For my entire high school career I've been slated to go to Binghamton U, why? Because my brother went there. And although it never really appealed to me, I was like sure, okay, it's a good school and it's a state school. Recently I've been reconsidering--first MIT, but then I realized I was not a genius and probably have like a 5% chance of getting in, maybe less. Then I switched to Cornell--it's ivy league, in the middle of nowhere, and has a room just like the one in Harry Potter (and other reasons that are not so shallow). If you're wondering I want to be a doctor (neurology specialist), so I figure I can get into a good med school from there. Only issue--WHERE DO I GET THE $$$$$$$$$$$?? Oh lordy. Oh yeah, and I have to do well on the SATs.

I apologize for this RANT but that was kinda the reason I made this, to "get out" what I'm thinking.....

&& Now for some inspirational Icanread pics....and then I'm back to studying

Vote for my sister!

So my older sister is the true artist in my family, it's true. She entered this art contest online and it really means a lot to her, so I was just wondering if you could all do me and my sister a huge favor and vote for her portfolio? That would be awesome! Feel free to post it on your blog, whatever, to get the word out!

Please don't steal these images, they are works of my sister!

Edit: Voting is closed now! My sister and I thank you all for your support!

Me? My life sucks right now. I have an APUSH test tomorrow that I'm freaking out about, and I have to finish the last part of my photo project (collage?). In recent news I finally got around to watching Inglorious Basterds that my friend gave me for Chanukah. BEST MOVIE EVER! I am totally crushing on the Bear Jew now, not Eli Roth, the Bear JEW. I watched the movie once and I can quote entire scenes. I love how I can remember that and not any useless AP crap (although by the 5th reenactment of the Bear Jew scene my friend was starting to get annoyed) I spent all of Photoshop today on bearjewfacts.tumblr.com. Surprisingly it's one of the few sites that aren't blocked at my school....that and www.lamebook.com which is hilarious!

Isn't it great that my photoshop skills go to such good use?

Oh and I downloaded My Dinosaur Life today! I've listened to it once but I need to listen to a CD a few times before I get the "taste" of it enough to write a review. That'll be coming up soon!

I haven't quit Blogging! I just quit dance

Anything interesting happen between your 7 day hiatus?

Well there was a fight at my school but that's old news now haha.

Oh, and I quit dance :/

I really wasn't very good, and I don't have the energy. Starting February I'm going to be taking ZUMBA with my friend for x er size!

Yeah, so um 7 day hiatus...I have so many TESTS and PROJECTS between now and the end of January I think my head will explode. I really really really do! x_x I have two photo projects, 3 papers, a powerpoint, 2 tests, 3 midterms, and 1 regents test (NY state sucks) within the next to weeks! HELP!!!!!!!!!

As promised a part of my Photo Project:

Yeah the quality kinda got messed up, but it looks really good big in Photoshop!

And this equals pure win:

(via polyvore)

I will do a complete blog once the craziness passes.

Until then,
Peace Out

Finding Nemo && Backlogging

Ew ew ew. So my vacation officially ended and now I'm back in school. What horrible sins have I committed to deserve this punishment? I swear there is nothing worse than getting on the bus in the morning and having the seat be so cold it shocks your ass. I know I haven't updated in a couple of days and so I have a backlog of photos to share. But ehh, since I'm too lazy to upload all of them I'll just give a brief overview. Haha.

Basically a lot of shots similar to this for New Years

Tooooo many pictures of my kittens.

Some of my stuff.

Cool poster I bought for like 5 dollars in the EWB at the Mall. Came with the frame. It says Courage in Chinese, but I don't know what else it says.

I celebrated my last night of freedom by ripping out the 350 something vocabulary flash-cards from my sisters old SAT book, and have been leafing through them all day.  During advisory, lunch, and anywhere else I had it out, people would come by me, pick one up, and then either say they don't know it, or laugh at me for having it in my pile "You don't know what 'esoteric' means? Haha don't you speak English?" Shut the hell up. I don't know what it means which is why I'm using flash-cards. Don't make fun.

In photoshop we continued to give our tutorials. I volunteered to do mine first, before someone else did the same was as me again. There were also some cool ones--in one we made iPod people. I forgot to save it to my jump so I can't post it now, but here are some other things I made:

(kinda messed up on the hand but I didn't have time to fix it)

(me as Rachel from GLEE)

(Lomo on a pic I took of Boston Harbor)

(vintage effect)

(sketch effect)

(Initial Quilt)

Heritage project

These weren't all done today of course! Its just stuff that I've been working on. I also have this picture, which I'm using as my 'Image'

But the absolute worst part of my day is right now. As I am typing this I am locked in my room while my parents aren't home, while three strangers are inside working on my house. Sketchy, right? Apparently I wasn't "supposed" to come home at the normal time, but I was never told otherwise. They changed my locks so my key didn't work, and they let me through the garage. My mom told me to lock myself in my room--and I kinda have to pee, but one of the guys is working on the bathroom. Shit. Tomorrow is going to be even worse (although hopefully they'll be gone by the time I come home). They're de-carpeting my bedroom, so I have to pack ALL of my stuff up so they can move the furniture and stuff. My house has turned into a war zone. My kittens are upstairs in my brothers old room but I'm too afraid to trek through the house with a bunch of strangers and no parents. I mean, that's how kids get kidnapped--or maybe I'm just being paranoid.

Speaking of my kittens, we had quite a fiasco on Saturday. I woke up bleary-eyed around 1:30 in the afternoon. The first thing my mom tells me when I get out of my room is: Nemo is missing!

Me: Whaaaa--huhuhu whaaaat? (I'm not very quick first thing in the morning)

Mom: We've looked for nearly a half hour straight--we can't find him anywhere!

*Immediately snaps to action looking in cabinets, nooks, crannys, INSIDE THE OVEN, in the basement, closet EVERYWHERE*

It took us nearly an hour and a half to find my baby. My mom kept on saying "I think he's in the couch," but we all poo-poo'd that-- that's ridiculous. She was fricking RIGHT.  My dad lifted the couch and we could see Nemo's favorite fish toy dangling off it, so my dad turned the couch upside down. I saw movement and his paws and I was so thankful he was alive. Nemo was INSIDE the couch, chilling with the springs and wires. Our couch is 23 years old, and the bottom is ripped, so he was able to climb up through one of the holes. We ended up ripping apart the bottom of the couch, but he still wouldn't get out, and it was too difficult to pick him up without him hitting his head so we attempted to bait him out--took about 15 minutes. We finally attracted him by bringing close his bed, and he hopped right out. We had to tape up our couch with mailing tape and duct tape!

At least Nemo lived up to his name. The irony slays me.

Imma do my homework now (damn).

Keep your lives Sui Generis and Sonny(?)
 Sorry I just can't write that with a straight face.

Peace OUT
