I’m back home for the weekend. My first few days of ‘college life’ was interesting. Well, the people were anyway. ^_^ Last minute my roommate died so I have the whole room to myself (Lol, Tim, you don’t have to sleep on the floor since there’s an extra bed now. ^^’’ (And if ‘Evil’ Laura is reading this, this is not part of the revolving door!)) plus they threw in the TV (the cable isn’t quite working yet so the TV turned Polish XDDD), VCR, Play Station and the ‘borrowed’ Game Cube. ^___^ Hehe, Lee brought Link! XDDD And he’s going to buy Soul Calibur II… Link talks! XD And I found a copy of FF6/5… o_O When did my brother buy that?

Anyway… My roomies are Chari, (‘Evil’) Laura, (‘Good’) Laura and YoungIn. Chari is Chari… she’s on speed. ‘Evil’ Laura is on crack and has a really cool fork. ‘Good’ Laura like to watch people when they’re drunk. Youngin likes video games and psychology and probably has psychoanalyzed us already. I met some people… SVA student people in the bright shirts are scary. O_o They’re all nice and happy and say hi and all. ‘Evil’ Laura’s friend, Lee, who I met before but forgot his name (I felt really bad about that -_-) lives two floors up. We met some of his roommates… Chris, Eliot, err—two other people who’s names escaped me and Dan from Parsons (evil Parsons). Then there’s Wonton who’s hyper all the time and is really kick ass with markers. Met up with Mari, Tom, Maureen, and someone else from last summer class.

The whole orientation and meeting people just reconfirmed my shyness. I thought I was somewhat over that but no. ::shrugs:: So, what am I going to miss out on… drunken parties? Friends? Ah, who needs friends... ::strokes computer:: ^_^ ::computer dies:: ;_; ::sniff::

So, yeah… I need friends to come and visit! (Or I can hop on a train and visit.) :D If I still have friends left… ;_; Ya know, I’m going to miss CHS now… only because I don’t know when I’ll be seeing friends (and the under pass XD). Yeah… email me and I’ll send you my addy and cell phone number. I have classes on Tuesday to Friday. Mostly morning classes except for Friday... Friday is going to suck. X_x

I tried to find a job… I collected applications but have yet to hand them in. However, I did stupidly get a temp job at Shakespeare & Co. for the mad book rush. I get $6.25 hr and pizza plus 10% off my books. It’s only going to be for about three weeks and so far I’m working Wednesdays. I think I’m going to die… I don’t know how I’m going to do it. I’m going to be really slow annoying, you know it. T_T ::sighs::

I’m bringing my computer back with me so yeah… I get to go online! ^^ And Serom-chan dies for the SVA library. There’s manga and anime to take out. ^__^ SVA has a trolley. O_o

My parents were really happy to see me… and my Grandparents, I can’t even explain. But I know that I’m really home when my grandfather calls asking me to dial the numbers for the phone card. Yep, welcome home. ^____^ My brother wasn’t home and he’s still not home and I was kind of disappointed. I brought him back a book about WWII. I’ll probably see him tomorrow or maybe he’ll come home tonight.

NYC is nice to go there but to live there I’m not quite sure… It’s just really nice to be home.

Friday, August 22, 2003 7:39pm

So, tomorrow I’m moving in! OMFG… I feel like I have SO much stuff to bring. Oh and never mind the fact that school is starting soon. I hope that my roommates and I all get along or it’s really going to suck. Agh… Need to straighten up room before leaving.

I talked to Serom-chan today! :D I haven’t talked to her in awhile. Too bad we didn’t get to hang out… ;_;

Wednesday I went to the beach with my mom, Wedge and her mom. “Ladies Day” XD I wanted to take my grandma because she loves the ocean but she already invited people over. :/ That’s okay though since the water wasn’t that clean. It was gross. I had never see the ocean water so green (grass green) before. That kind of ruined it for me but since we didn’t have an umbrella (my brother never told us it broke) and it was really sunny and hot we went in anyway. After the warm Dominican water I wasn’t used to the coldness but at least it wasn’t numbingly cold like in May. I just ran in a couple of times ‘cause ya know just fuck getting use to the water… just jump in. Wedge was rather shocked when I just ran in. XD Surprisingly I didn’t really burn. Yay, for me! Later we went to California Pizza Kitchen ‘cause ya know Wedge is such a pig! ^_~ Good place to eat… I wonder if my brother ate my leftovers? ::shrugs:: All in all a good day. Lol, another adventure~! XD It occurred to me that I never talked about the rafting trip a couple weeks ago. Hmm… It was me, Wedge, her parents and my Dad along with some other Polish people. Oatmeal and that ‘hot Polish guy’ were there but we didn’t talk to them. It started to pour when we were about to get on and it poured for a half hour. T_T Wedge’s Dad was wearing his Sunday shoes (I don’t know why T_T) and that was the joke of the trip. XD At the end there were these good rapids. Wedge fell a few time and we almost lost her Dad. XDDD My mom really wanted to go but she had a bridal shower to go to. Next time.

Happy Birthday Ankita! :D I should call her now… but I have to call Laura too… and finish my room. Damn my room! ::kicks:: Anyway, Ankita, I hope you’re having a happy, happy, sparkle-y day! :D

Blah… I still can’t believe school is starting. T_T I’m going to cried. ::Sniff:: My dad keeps making fun of me though. Leave me alone. >< My class day and graduation pictures came out bad so I don’t have any to take with me. ;_; I’m really upset over those pictures. Oh well I’ll remember you by your lovely yearbook pictures! XDDD Yeah, so I haven’t even left yet and my mom tells me I’m coming home next weekend. So, if anyone is around still you can give me a call... Though I doubt it with it being Labor Day and people moving in and such.

OMG, speaking of moving in! After 12 years, yes, T-W-E-L-V-E --Y-E-A-R-S, my Aunt got her Visa to American so she’ll be here within the next 6 months. This is why people sneak over to the USA because the country fucks you over doing it the legal way. Damn it. ><

Tuesday, August 19, 2003 8:28pm

What a way to end the day. :/ My mom picks me up at five to go do some more dorm shopping and she tells me in the car that finally my grandfather’s doctor called. And I didn’t want to hear any more. I feel really bad for my mom… And for Christie. What if he doesn’t make it to the wedding? And if he does he probably won’t make to through the holidays. ::sighs:: So I tried really hard not to look upset in front of my mom but all I could manage were one word answers till we put our minds on something else, the dorm shopping.

It was his birthday party on Sunday. It was nice… He ate a lot so that was really good. ^___^ I was setting up chairs and I didn’t count Michael. >< I didn’t think of he. >< Then Christie’s other grandma came and lastly Richard came. That was really weird that he came because I hardy ever see him. O_o Last time was… my grandparents’ anniversary? I’m not sure. He lives (or used to) down the street. Odd family we have.

Christie and Michael are getting married on October 30th. They jokingly said that it should be a masquerade. XDDD That would be so kick ass. And with thinking about the wedding I hope I’m not picked to be one of the bride’s maids. It’s not that I wouldn’t be honored its just that I know I would suck. Oh but I’m so happy for Christie! XDDD

Friday, August 15, 2003 3:26pm

Blackouts are fun. :D Actually it would have been really fun if I still had friends living by me. What I thought of later was that it was perfect for playing man hunt! XDD If I’d only remembered early enough I could have called people over to play! I know I’m being such a dork but you do have to admit that it was perfect for playing man hunt. A lot of people were outside and I didn’t realize that I had that many Polish neighbors. O_o How Polish? Well a couple of them went to run out to get beer before it got warm. ^_^’’’ (lol, Smoky Joe was out. XD) Many people were lighting fireworks and such knowing that the police have too much to do than to deal with illegal fireworks. Stars were prettyful with the limited light pollution! But I couldn’t find Mars. >< Oh thanks again Serom-chan for that jelly bean candle you gave me a couple years ago. It looked very prettyful. :D

Oh here’s an article in which the world laughs at us. I love the comment that we’re "superpower with a Third World grid." And now both Canada and USA are just going blame each other for the problem instead of really fixing it. X/

There’s one thing that would have made it even better… Looters with torches and pitchforks! XDDDDDD Than the world could really laugh.

Wednesday, August 13, 2003 9:44pm

School hasn’t even started yet and I’m already in the slacking/procrastinating/I don’t feel like it mood. WTF?! :/ I swear to god I will make a b-day card. I swear. I still got tomorrow or I can wait till the party on Sunday. It wouldn’t be so bad if I knew what to draw. ><

Ya know the typed plastic label thingies? My uncle used it to put his name on his motorcycle. XDDD I pointed it out to my mom while we were trying to move it and she laughed. Yep, my uncle finally kissed his ’72 Honda (?) motorcycle goodbye.

Also, since Xanga is so annoying and I couldn’t comment I’ll like to say, Holy shit Ankita has a blog! O_O So, now my link list is updated. ^__^ I haven’t talked to Anikta… ;_; ::hugs:: I haven’t talked to too many people since school…

I had something I wanted to write but I can’t seem to remember much of it.

So… People suck, right? And I’m a very poor judge of character. I’d like to think that everyone is nice and stuff but just turn on the news for five minutes and you know that not everyone is nice. Anyway… So they say shit about her and I don’t know who’s right. I always look back and see her as being a good person. And I still do (but not as much ‘cause I’m older now than then and understand more). I find it hard to see her other wise. He isn’t a bad person either… he’s just likes to be dominant (not like women had many rights) and always in the right. …But it sometimes feels that they want you to take sides but I don’t want to. Sometimes it seems like he’s right and other times it seems like she’s right… but neither seems to be more right. It doesn’t seem that he’s changed as much as she. I don’t think he can quite deal with that change this late. And I don’t think he can change. She’s tried of being yelled at, being told what to do and she finally wants to do what she wants, fuck everyone else. That’s fine but I think she needs to do it better. She could at least cook for him and he could meet her half way by not yelling at her all the god damn time. But you could tell them such things till your blue in the face and they still won’t do it, won’t even try. If they aren’t even going to try then I don’t want to hear about their fucking shit. Blah… :/ People are aggravating. I’m aggravating. I’m aggravated. ><

Okay, my writing just sucks now. And I’m going to teach foreign people English… Right. ::rolls eyes::

Tuesday, August 12, 2003 1:45pm

Ya know the days where you just don’t feel like doing anything and everything irritates you? Yeah… My current mood. So yesterday out of the blue my grandfather comes to wake me up (damn them for still having the spare key) and tells me to take my grandma to the doctor. Blah. Mind you I haven’t driven a car in two weeks and of all cars I have to drive his. I just prayed that it’ll hold together. ^^’’ Yes, one of those cars. (’89 Oldsmobile XDD) On top of that Van Houten is under major construction so I have to drive all the way around Allwood. >< We get there and wait and wait… and wait. Then my grandma is like ‘oh I think while I’m here I’ll make an appointment for a checkup’. So, she ends up seeing both doctors. T_T We were there for three hours… I had ‘lunch’ at 3 (my first meal of the day). Today I had to take her back to get blood taken for testing so that was another hour. And on top of that my mom tells me yesterday that she made me an appointment. GRR. >< This is not turning into a good week. But its my grandfather’s birthday on Thursday! :D He’s going to be 81, I believe. Blah, he’s probably going to say that he doesn’t know if he’ll make it to his next birthday. Xp

Now I just want to know if its just my grandparents or do all grandparents talk about death? Like today they were arguing about where they’re graves are going to be… My grandma wants to be buried at Częstochowa and my grandfather says who would go all the way there (Penn.). Needless to say I left soon after. T_T They’re really annoying me.

I still haven’t wrote about Punta Cana and I still don’t feel like it. ^^’’’ Well, other than fun in the sun, parents drinking too much beer, and my mom getting sick (Ahh! They had ‘no drinking water’ signs instead or no smoking XDDD) there’s three things to talk about. Mom and I went kayaking and the ocean is not quite the same as the lake. It was really easy going with the current and my mom wanted to keep going farther. We ended up three resorts down and going back really sucked. Half way there we flipped over. >< There’s no life guards. The US is the only country (maybe except Canada?) that requires lifeguards. So no one cared that we flipped over in the middle of the ocean. So we dragged our stuff closer to shore and this German (?) kid helped us get back on. It took us four times and we were ready to drag the kayak back. When we flipped over we kept thinking where the hell were those Spanish guys who wanted to pick us up? ^_~ Anyway we made it back and my dad was all worried. ^__^ My mom and I went snorkeling! :DD It was so cool! We got some bread and fed the fishies! Just think ‘Under the Sea’. XDD There was one that kind of looked like Nemo except not as neon orange. I gagged on some salt water though. >< Other than that it was great. Lastly, we met Maggie, Michael and Sebastian who were Polish but lived in Germany. Maggie invited me to come to Germany in the summer and then later she would ship me off to my relatives in Poland. Lol, I would die. My Polish is so horrible now… They laughed at my Polish. :/ My bad Polish isn’t as cute now that I’m older. ^^’’ Maggie’s just too much. She loves people, she loves to talk… adorable. XD Michael is more reserved and him and Maggie aren’t married but have been together for a few years. Sebastian is Maggie’s son and I didn’t talk to him because I thought he only knew German but he did know a little Polish and anyway I didn’t talk unless spoken to. ^^’’ Hopefully, I got their story right… Oh, shame, shame on me and my bad Polish. What am I going to do when my aunts come?

2:34pm

First I couldn’t pull Gutterflower out of my CD player and now Blue won’t leave. >< I just had to listen to their new single. Ahhh… It’s all good. ^_^ Now if only Liz Phair’s song would get out of my head. XD

Friday, August 08, 2003 7:33pm

Eeep! I bought my art supplies today. O_O I spent like $130. God, this is going to suck. I hope I like oil painting… at least like it more than acrylics. Agh, I don’t know what I’m doing.

Happy B-day, Serom-chan! :D

Tuesday, August 5, 2003 4:11pm

Agh… Damn weather in Jersey. >< Instead of being home at midnight we got home at 5am! >XO Yeah… I’ll write up about Punta Cana later but I will tell you the number of Pole sightings on this vacation was 14. And both our drivers were Polish too! They’re everywhere! While I mostly drank soda I did try Presidente (local beer), Vodka with lime, Sex on the Beach, Pina Colada, Scotch, some Strawberry rum thing… And I think that’s it. I was trying to bring out the Polish side but its just not working. I’m the only sober pollock. :/

The water was crystal green~! *_* Prettyful!

Sunday, July 27, 2003 10:12pm

All packed… pretty much anyway. ^^ So tomorrow I’ll be on the plane. Yep, a whole week of fun in the sun… I’ll be back next Monday.

So, yesterday was the engagement party/shindig/thing. As usual it was uneventful for me and damn it I didn’t bring my sketchbook! So, the two families were meeting for the first time and Michael’s family is almost twice as big as ours (“I think we’re out numbered!”). Now my aunt decides (secretly between our family) that we are competing against them. We had to dance, eat, drink, play music, just plain party as good if not better than them… the whole time. We were there for about 7 hours. Do you know how long seven hours are at a truly Polish party? Ack! X_x Half the people were drunk. My grandfather was praised for the good drinks. I had two shots and they were a lot stronger than the last time I had them. Then I got dragged to the ‘dance floor’ and dance for half hour. T_T God, what am I going to do at this wedding? ;_; Oh man, was Franky and my aunt a bit tipsy… first he thought the music was ‘the shit’ then he called over my aunt to dance and they just went crazy on the dance floor. XDDD Where was the camera? When we tried to escape my aunt quickly pushed us back into the party scene reminding us that we have to out do them that we can’t go till they go. That was at midnight. -_- Then finally we managed to go but the party was still going though there weren’t too many people left… they kept dancing… And it was very upsetting at the end. Christie was dancing with my (our) grandpa and she was crying. At the time I didn’t know the exact reason for her but I knew I just really wanted to cry then… On the way home he mentioned it, saying something about him saying that he was glad to be there because he doesn’t know if he’ll be there to see the wedding. And I wanted to smack him. Whether she remembered what he said from another time or if he said it then I don’t know but he doesn’t have to say things like that every other time we see him. We know, okay, we know. ::sighs:: And I just don’t know about Mike… He really needs to straighten up.

Tuesday, July 22, 2003 5:47pm

I had to go to the dentist today so that means I have to drive my mom to and fro work but I get the car for the day. There's no where to go hang out so I thought a trip to the mall would be okay. However, I don't have anyone to go with. They're either are on vacation, working or have no money. So I took my grandma. ^___^ At first I didn't think she was having too much fun since we didn't talk too much but when we picked up my mom she said she was all happy that I drive well, knew what things to look for for her and I put on a Polish CD which had her favorite songs. So, currently I'm recording the CD on tape for her. :D Hehe, we sang along to 'Stary Niedzwiedz' and she couldn't remember if she taught me any but she taught Christie. Lol, never mind the fact that a guy should be singing this song, there's one part where 'he' says that 'he' made her a sandwich but he ate it. XDD

I finally bought sneakers and unfortunately they just got them so there was no luck for a sale. >< I was hoping for $40- 50 range. Blah, no more shopping for me... x_x'' I got PJs, too, but my grandma insisted on buying them for me. I miss my homemade PJs, clothes (matching hair thingie too. Hehe, Charm. ^_~) and bathing suits. ::sniff:: I help pick out sneakers for my grandma and lucky for her they were on sale. OoOoOo… My grandma is in style now. Lol, I picked out these low white Nike with a lavender swish thingie. ^__^

My parking still sucks.

Monday, July 21, 2003 4:00pm

I just got my AP scores and I had forgotten about all that. My scores really suck. Not only did I waste my parents’ money but I wasted my time. Oh and I scored higher on art history than my portfolio. WTF?

SVA is laughing they’re ass off.

Sunday, July 20, 2003 2:56pm

This really sucks. My parents just left to go to the funeral. First a couple months ago the Ukrainian guy across the street just dies out of no where and now on Thursday/Friday Chris and Michelle’s grandmother died. ;_; She had a similar problem as my grandfather… And since all the recent shit with him, I’m like ya know, God, could you at least make him live long enough to see one of his grandchildren get married. Couple months later my cousin got engaged. T_T Eh, well ya never know… Damn doctors don’t know what they’re doing. >< Yeah, this sucks.

I was reading a bit of Serom’s slog (will have to finish later) and she got a job! Yay, Serom-chan! Just don’t die or get brainwashed. ^___^’’’’ I have no idea what her job is but it sounds kind of scary to work there. And the rice fields! XDDD Beware the rice fields!

::sighs::

Saturday, July 19, 2003 10:40pm

I just dropped Wedge off. The usual again.

Except, it was the best badminton day of our lives. :D Awesome saves, crazy games… but there was no racket throwing (Wedge!) and no sudden running in terror of a huge bee. ^__^ Ack! At the end I was running around like crazy never mind the lack of food and energy. That was the best… Damn sun going down. ><

We saw T3 today. (Yes, I'm finally caught up with pop culture.) First time I sneaked into a movie. Oh my god, I know, I'm such a bad ass. So, it was good, the usual fighting action movie that you expect in a Terminator movie. I was quite upset over the end. ;_;

Quotes>
"I'm gonna throw a brick at you!" -Wedge, 'Rival Turf'
"Tomorrow's garbage day." -Wedge, 'Rival Turf'
"How does she know which button is down?" -Wedge, ruining the mood of the ending of T2
"Damn, I keep getting Star bursts." -Me, Mario Kart

Friday, July 18, 2003 2:52pm

OMG! ::laughs:: So Wedge ran into the Pollock and her grandma thinks they should marry. XDD Well, at least he looks a lot better than he did all those years ago. Here’s the conversation:

W: omg i forgot to tell u I SAW MARCIN!
Me: AHHH!!! does he look the same?
W: HE DOESN'T HAVE ROTTEN TEETH!
W: he looks just like his dad
Me: O_O~!
Me: i don't remember his dad ^^'''
W: i dont know how he got rid of his rotten teeth....but he's really nice and everything
Me: so he looks better than last time eh? ^^
Me: that's cool
W: A LOT better...but he still looks like a polak
Me: of course
W: and he's as tall as my brother
W: it was so embarrassing...my grandma’s like " oh maybe u guys are meant to be married since u've known each other for so long
W: it was so awkward
Me: lol! XDDD i can't believe she said that
W: :-[..that's how i looked(can u see the smiley?)
W: and then marcin is like yeah maybe..oh was like "HELLL NO"!
Me: lol XD
W: but when i first walked into my grandma's house i didn't know he was over with his family..i thought my uncle was over my grandma's or somethin..so i go hello hello.....and then i see marcin.....i was so shocked at how different he looked ...i didn't know wut to say or do..so i was just like czesc..and that was it....i didn't know wut to do cuz i was so shocked about how different he looked
W: and then when everyone left my grandma goes..yeah i know u liked him...i was like no..i was just shocked at how different he looked Me: omg... lol XDDD
Me: you're grandma is too much XDDD
Me: she really wants you to have a pollock :D
W: yeah i know she thinks marcin is perfect for me or somethiin

The next wedding! HAHA! God… I haven’t seen him in years. I could just picture her face as she walked in. XDD Marcin must have been like “oohh, she’s hot.” XDDD

So yeah… lol. That made my day. Agh… I couldn’t sleep last night. I finally fell asleep at 2, 3 am. I made a crappy picture on Photoshop, too. So, yesterday surprisingly Ami called me to let me know that Tim and her are going to kidnap me. They called me today too but I didn’t go this time. Blah… I wasn’t in a good mood yesterday and today I’m so-so. I don’t think I’m going to the beach tomorrow either. :/ Blah…

So… Anyway… Pirates of the Caribbean was cool but it’s not stupid enough to be a Disney movie. Note to self: buy DVD when it comes out. Johnny Depp’s character was my favorite and since I’m bored now I tried to draw him but his eyes came out too big and its just horrible. >< It’s been such a long time since there was a pirate movie out. Hehe, it has a bit of corny-ness to the plot with the whole Black Pearl thing which I guess is why its Disney. ^_^’’ Lol, I love the rumors of Jack Sparrow’s ‘great’ escape. XD Orlando Bloom looks better as a half ass pirate (though he looked like one of the Three Musketeers at the end) than an elf but if Nintendo ever makes a Legend of Zelda movie he can play Link. ^_^

Funny news can only come from Canada. “Aussie bandits make getaway from gas station robbery with bags of garbage.”

My guestbook died. ;_;

Yeah, I can’t write today.

Wednesday, July 16, 2003 11:54pm

I just finished reading my book and I was going to start another one but I didn't feel like it… but I don't feel like going to sleep either so I figured I might as while write an entry. I haven't been online in awhile. ::Gasps:: I know… It's only been a couple days. ^_^''

Last Friday I helped my parents again with fixing up the apartment and the wall I had painted the weekend before looked alright. My dad, I think was rather happy that I decided to paint for him and he said that he won't have to paint anymore. But he didn't make me paint the kitchen. ^_~ I sanded and resealed the window sills, lots of taping for painting, carrying stuff… And I thought that if art should not work out I could go and pick up carpentry. A person could easily get a job as a carpenter and I was doing a good job with my brief apprenticeship. I like to fix things on my own and such because it gives you a sense of pride. It's cool to build something or fix something and be 'hey I did that'. Then I spilled the polyurethane in an idiotic way and any thought of being a carpenter went with it.

Bored, I picked up the phone and called people in hopes of going shopping or something. My mom had told me that the mall closes at five since it was Sunday and it was late. But I called anyway just to have something to do. I called Wedge and I didn't think she was back yet but she was and we talked a bit and made plans for Monday. Next, I called Teresa and we talked for at least an hour and I don't remember the last time I've done that. I can't believe I went all year not seeing Teresa (besides a few times in the hallway). How horrible… I miss talking to her. ;_; And I wonder how many people I'll be talking to once college begins. Hopefully they or I will be more talkative than recently. ^^'''

So Monday Wedge came by and her parents are away at South Carolina for two weeks and Stan's being an ass according to her. There was a lot of walking from her house to mine and such that we agreed it would have been so much easier if she still lived across the street. So we did the usual-badminton, movies, Mario Kart, etc. We also hanged out on Tuesday. The usual again except we decided to go to the movies to see T3. After all the hassle and confusion of trying to at least get a ride there we ended up walking. We play a little too much Mario Kart and half ran to Allwood not only to be late but to be denied tickets because Wedge was underage and though I was old enough to vote I was not old enough to buy her a movie ticket. I miss the days where Allwood didn't care so much about the rules. Damn that new theater for messing with Allwood. >< We waited an hour by buying ice cream and enjoying the AC at the library to see Pirates of the Caribbean. (Great summer movie, btw.) Then we walked back to my house and she ended up hiding there till about 10:30 to avoid the Pollock whose visiting her grandmother's neighbor. I drove her to her grandmother's and I realize that they were idiots for giving me a license.

Today, I lounged about, made lunch (too much lunch), cleaned, TV, blah, blah, blah. Then my mom came home and we went shopping. It was late when we left so we didn't have too much time. We were trying to find DSW and at the last minute we found it but we decided to go there last and thinking about it now we completely forgot to go there at all. We spent most of our time in Macy's where I got my first credit card. Yes, I'll be getting a Macy's card in the mail soon because those so-called 'pre-approved' cards aren't really pre-approved (I need to build credit. ::rolls eyes::). And it was good that I got it then because I actually bought something, hundred dollars worth of something and I'll be getting fifteen percent off once I get my statement. So I guess my stream of good luck shopping of everything being on sale hasn't quite ended even if its cheating a bit. I bought something that I probably wouldn't have and I didn't even think of it but my mom brought it to me. They're these light ragged purple colored pants. Well, it does go with the shirt I bought and they're really comfortable which is really why I bought them. I also bought another pair of pants (they were blue with white pin stripes, yay for the gangster suit that I always wanted) even though I don't need a pair and that was a problem with the shopping trip. I walk into Macy's and see five pairs of pants that I like and hardy any tops. I also saw these shoes that I really like but they didn't have my size and then the handbags were pretty but I'll just have to wait another time to look at those. Cripes, I hope I'm remembering my social security number correctly.

My mom asked me if I was excited to be going to New York and I'm just so indifferent about it but I acted excited so I wouldn't upset her. However, I won't go any father as I bore you (what is it now? Five readers?) enough with my last couple eventful days.

It’s so prettyful outside. *_* If it wasn’t for the clouds it would be even better. At times like this it makes me miss having friends across the street. ;_; And there’s lightning bugs out (finally)! :D Tiger was attacking me and was trying to get locked in the basement again. ^^’’

So… I’m going to Dominican Republic with my parents for a week. July 28, fun in the sun begins. (hopefully) I really don’t know if I made the right choice of going… but we’ll see won’t we? (Note to self: buy new headphones or discman, sun block, start ‘tanning’...)

Yesterday was odd because Teresa called me. O_o She wanted to go check out if Walgreen’s had any jobs and it turned out that they don’t. It also turns out that Teresa is completely bored, too. After Walgreen’s we drove around and ended up at Barnes & Nobles due to Teresa’s lack of AC. We were they for an hour laughing at summer reading books, which we are no longer required to read (but yet we still feel the need to read something). We look at this one journal type book thing which each page has a question to start you off. LOL, I don’t remember the exact questions but they were funny and some just need more than one page. Oh, and Teresa plans on making a scrapbook so we looked at some books for ideas. Teresa the next Martha (minus the scandals). ^_~ Hehe, fun, fun. :D

What else? Oh! Thanks to Penny Arcade, I read Stalin Vs. Hitler comic. O_o’’’ Stalin won btw. Damn it all I can’t find that ‘I’m too sexy for Russia’ Stalin fan art. >< I started downloading anime again. T_T’’ ::sighs:: And no one is helping me with my Pan fan art. ;_;

Bored, again… As usual.

I think I’ll go to NYC this week or next to go job-hunting for September or whatever. My mom will probably have a cow about going by myself but I just don’t have anyone to come with me. I have this feeling I won’t be able to find a job… I think I’ll end up being a waitress. Then get fired for being a stupid dumb ass. Yeah, that sounds right. I mean, who really needs to eat every day?

My mom still insists on a vacation. (Well she does have those points for free tickets.) Hawaii was knocked off because 14 hours in a plane is no fun. Mexico needs another 1,000 just for the two of them. Dominican Republic is next on the list…

This weekend I hope to go to the beach. I’ll burn though. ;_; Hopefully I’ll have someone to go with. And I still have like 10 pictures left on my camera. >< Speaking of which, Tim sent me a blackmail picture. LOL, he said he threw out the ‘bad’ ones, which were shots of my chest. O_o’’

Yeah…

Sleep is for the weak! >:D

Actually once I finish writing this I will go to bed. ^_^ So much for being 'strong' as Serom would find this to be quite early. But it's a good time when drawing. Still bored, I watched Hook on the Disney channel and on Sunday I watched Peter Pan and I look to see if Elaine updated her page and she had a new Pan picture… So yeah, I kind of wanted to draw Pan. So I started but I didn't know what he should look like… I didn't want a Disney rip off. As of yet I think its really good (tomorrow it'll be crap). The only thing I really hate is that its fan art. Why can't my originals come out like this? ::sighs:: Next shall be Cloud. I'll have to fit Vincent's dead body somewhere. Agh, my knee hurts… ::kicks knee:: Either there's going to be a tsunami tomorrow or I don't know what I did to my knee today. Lol, damn Pan's hand… I had to pose with scissors to draw it properly and I was just waiting for my brother to come home. Unfortunately he missed out on the odd moment. ^^'' I'm really not liking Pan's left arm. GRR. ><

Yeah, I've been feeling very inspired lately (damn sketch blogs) but if only I would actually draw. T_T'''

Friday, July 04, 2003 6:25pm Happy B-day, USA! Sto Lat!

“Now its wartime…
To live well you need bread and Kielbasa but all I have are eggs.”

I’m rather bored… And you know how bad it can get. Polish music made a come back and to torture you more I horribly translated a song but some pieces are missing because either I don’t know the words or I couldn’t hear it well enough to distinguish the words. I don’t know the title or the group… here ya go:
Everyone says
go pack your bags and go
go with us there because there
You will live like a king…

they help you… (something something)
look how good it is…
living there you have to be a (certain way?)…

hey, hey, hey from the USA
here you’ll live and learn…
hey, hey, its important (?)
hey, hey, hey from the USA…

say please you have to go…
you have to go to work
it’s a long road (I take…something?)
but look at what you have (?)

everyone has good (something, something)...
the time will come when you will understand me
money gets you what you want (?)

hey, hey, hey from the USA
here you’ll live and learn
hey, hey, its important (?)
hey, hey, hey from the USA…

::sniff:: Classic. I will stop with the Polish music for today after I listen to “Who stole the Kishka” (finally)!

Last week was fun because Wedge came over the whole time and we saw “Finding Nemo”, played Mario Kart (finally beat Star Cup, btw), Mario All Stars, Pilot Wings, Street Fighter II turbo (holy shit turbo is hard! WTF happened?! ßlost skill), etc… and we threw the Frisbee around since the badminton rackets were out of whack. LOL, Frisbee in the dark! XD Ah! I finally have a character! Lol, from Street Fighter X3 we dubbed Area as Wedge and so now they dubbed Sakura as me. :DD I was watching Street Fighter Alpha and Ken is so kick ass! :D But why does Chun Li always get her ass kicked? WTF! She will so spinning star kick your ass!

Anyway… As you can see I’ve become rather bored. I’m talking to Tom now and I told him about “who Stole the Kishka” and the conspiracy behind it. I was talking to Laura before. Loads of fun in Illinois and I haven’t talked to her in awhile. Yay-ness. :D

Sympathy
(John Rzeznik)
Stranger than your sympathy
This is my apology I'm killing myself from the inside out
And all my fears have pushed you out

I wish for things that I don't need
All I wanted
And what I chase won't set me free
All I wanted
And I get scared but I'm not crawling on my knees

Oh yeah everything's all wrong yeah
Everything's all wrong yeah
Where the hell did I think I was

Stranger than your sympathy
I take these things so I don't feel
I'm killing myself from the inside out
Now my head's been filled with doubt

It's hard to lead the life you choose
All I wanted
When all your luck's run out on you
All I wanted
You can't see when all your dreams are coming true

Oh yeah it's easy to forget yeah
You choke on the regrets yeah
Who the hell did I think I was

Stranger than your sympathy
All these thoughts you stole from me
I'm not sure where I belong
Nowhere's home and I'm all wrong

And I wasn't all the things
I tried to make believe I was
And I wouldn't be the one to kneel
Before the dreams I wanted
And all the talk and all the lies
Were all the empty things disguised as me
Yeah stranger than your sympathy stranger than your sympathy

Prettyful song… And he’s Polish! XDDDD

Now I’m like Ami postin’ lyrics.

So my grandfather always tells me to look up Maniowy online because there’s some site somewhere about it. Being bored I did and I could not find a decent site. Perhaps the one he speaks of is in Polish or maybe he really has no clue since he’s never even used a computer. Damn, I wish I could remember the site that had all that Polish radio and stuff. They would have something. However I did find a picture of Maniowy and I did recognize the church I went to (It’s the new one, the blue blob near town). Now if it was at another angle we would be able to see the lake, which my grandparents’ house is near. It’s also near my dad’s old house. Actually the lake is where my dad’s house is. (I can’t even imagine how my dad felt when he found out… That’s all there is left of his parents’, his brother died in ’93 which was the last time he was in Poland. Only he went that time and I don’t think they flooded it yet…) There’s one place that you follow the old road and it leads right under and through the lake. See, Poland has this thing for making man made lakes (I don’t know why) and that particular lake has swallowed part of the old town. Supposedly my grandfather’s house was suppose to be part of that as well but he didn’t sell or something… My grandfather likes to tell stories. He almost got arrested there once couple years ago and made the paper. ^_^

Well as it should have it both my parents lived in Maniowy but I don’t believe they met at all while they were there. My mother moved when she was about 8 to Canada/USA and my father later arrived in the USA when he was 20 something –ish. They traveled to the other side to finally meet. Strange, huh? My mom’s side is mostly in Canada/USA and most of my dad’s is in Poland. Supposedly my two Aunts’ and uncle (?) are coming to stay for a bit in the fall when their visa/green card/whatever will finally be processed. They’ve only been waiting about 13 years. Anyway… I’ve been listening to too much Polish music but its like anime music, instant happy! :D Speaking of which I found on my search… Sto Lat! XDD Sing with me! “Sto lat, sto lat niech zyje, zyje nam, Sto lat, sto lat niech zyje, zyje nam, Jeszcze raz, jeszcze raz, niech zyje, zyje nam, niech zyje nam...” (Translation: Good health, good cheer, may you live a hundred years, one hundred years...) LOL, you’re lucky that I haven’t found any more translations but ya know I could always horrible translate pieces of songs for you. ^____^

You may all thank my boredom.

Ack! No one is on that I could actually rant to about Cloud in Kingdom Hearts! ::cries:: Damn you Hades! Give him Aeris back! ;_; ::hugs Cloud:: He talks and he’s all cool looking with the updated graphics! :D ::wants to draw fan art:: (OMG! He killed Vincent and stole his clothes! O_O’’)

I have more to rant about… lol. Later.

For once Monday doesn’t completely suck. School is done and over with but it hasn’t sunk in that we actually graduated. Even on the field or when I got my diploma today… I guess it will when I start to move into my dorm. Leaving high school I neither feel happy nor sad but I know that I will miss some of the people at school. Ami wrote in her blog that she has no regret, which is cool, but I don’t think I can say the same. ::Shrugs:: I look forward to a new start though but I don’t think it’ll be any better. :/

Project Graduation was fun. Too much time on bumper cars though. @_@ LOL, I was evil while driving but there was a huge Polish moment when Karen’s and Jen’s car didn’t work so I went behind them and pushed them around the thing. XDD Tom kept poking me and Teresa made me play that Rad Racer wannabe and tried to get me to play DDR. ::shudders:: OMG! There was this one thing that had like 20 classic games! :DDD ::steals::

Too many parties… @_@ Sarah’s was the week before and Tim’s was Saturday’s and mine was yesterday. Sarah’s and Tim’s were fun but mine really sucked. I apologize to those who came and for those who didn’t come you were lucky. Tomorrow is Ami’s party… Then next weekend is Tom’s and Nicole’s. I temporarily have a life.

Serom left for Korea today or so I was told. Hopefully she comes back alive. ^__^

Today I ate leftovers and just relaxed. I was bored so I watch Disney’s Hercules and that story is so off from the real version. Nevertheless it still was a good Disney movie. Then I played pinball while listening to music… Do I dare say what kind of music? Well first it was just the radio but then I put a CD on. Since today is the first unofficial day of summer I put on Disco Polo since god knows what the weather will be like on Sunday. However I was upset that I could not find volume 1. Only Wedge will understand this little rant. ;_; Anyway… You’d think after all the time that I’ve played pinball that I would be really good but I’m not. It’s still fun though. :D

Mario Kart is annoying me. I can’t understand why I can’t beat Star Cup when I’ve already beat Special Cup a thousand times. Also, Kingdom Hearts is a bitch. First its an RPG/Zelda which means I automatically suck therefore can’t really play the game. Next Kairi is all bring me this, okay, bring me that. Look, bitch get your own shit or why can’t Riku get it?! >< Yeah… I’m going to need to bring PS1 with me to SVA.
