Memorable Quotes

I feel like there should be a post dedicated to all those fun and perverted times! Hooray! I can't think of a lot right now... I'm going to add more later so check back. =)

I distinctively remember a time when Simone would always have to check her answers with mine so that she would feel confident about her answers. Finally, I got annoyed, so I told her, "You need more self-ego!"

When Andrew and I were arguing about how to address each other as siblings, he suddenly bursts out with, "I'm your sister!"

Cindy: No way Jose.
Erin A: Yes way... what else rhymes with "way"?
Simone: Philippe?
Erin A: Okay... Yes way Philippe!

Matt: When I say "sexy" you say "mitch"!

Chris: I started this conversation! And I'm ending it - NOW!

Cindy: Why do you even like her?
Chris: *nervously* ... I don't know!

Connor was saying how David Guy only typed with his index fingers, so I said, "I type with all FIVE of my fingers!" There was a long pause... and then everyone burst into laughter. I'm pretty sure Chris was the one who said, "What did you do, chop your other hand off?" and someone else asked if I had a hook on the other hand... lol. It was something that would've gone on the "blooper" reel of a movie.

Andrew: Rock-a-bye Camera... into the sea...
Cindy: *SCREAM*

Cindy: Ugh! We're idiots!
Phillip Pellegrino: Yeah, you are.

Matt: You like younger women?

Ben: I gave a present to Eric. He has cancer.
Me, Meghana: WTF?!?

When Laura was over at my house, we were talking to Ritti. We were talking about Meghana's party and how she has a lot of earrings. I was going to type to Ritti, "She has a lot of exotic earrings" but Laura reminded me that she had to use the phone and call her parents. So instead of typing what I was supposed to type, I typed, "She has a lot of exotic phones."

On a more happier note...

I apologize for my last post sounding a bit... suicidal. Don't worry; I am not the type to kill myself. (Or maybe you wanted that to happen... I'm sorry for disappointing you.)

I feel like my friends barely know me at all. Here is some trivia you might not have known about me:

Favorite color: Any rich color. Emerald green, red-orange, ruby/blood red, sky blue, sapphire blue, pearl white, sunflower yellow...
Favorite gemstone: I really like sapphire, because that's the month I was born in. Plus, the deep blue color is really pretty. Diamonds are cool, too. They can cut glass. (omg!)
Any pets: 1 standard white poodle named Kirby.
Instruments: Violin, Piano, Flute, Voice, Recorder (I don't think the last two really count, but whatev.)
Hobbies: Photography (<3), Music, Reading, Hanging out on the computer...
Sports: Swimming, I really enjoy softball and soccer though. Volleyball can be fun, but challenging.
Favorite Baseball Team: YANKEES!!! Derek Jeter is amazing!
Admire and look up to: David Archuleta. He is just so talented and such a good person! I wish I could be like him.
Favorite class: Um... I guess gym... but it really depends what unit we're doing. If it's softball, YES!! If it's like tchoukball, heck no! Then, I guess it might be math... because it's the only thing where formulas actually make sense...
Favorite shampoo: Hmm... I use Kiwi Lemon Squeeze from VO5 (herbal escapes), but I don't know. Anything that smells good. Lilac and Lavender is amazing, too.
Favorite scent: Apples and cinnamon... mostly apples though. Is there any place that sells apple perfume?
Favorite Ice Cream: Ooooo... I love vanilla with a little bit of strawberry twist in it. Mmm-mmm good!
Favorite chocolate: Belgium chocolate is... so... delicious. It's mostly made with hazelnut, and I LOVE hazelnut!
Favorite cake/dessert: I love brownies! I only like cake when it's soft and fluffy. Box/powder cakes always taste so... stale and un-moist. Ew.
Favorite halloween candy: They used to put candy sticks and bags of chips in halloween bags (when I was in Canada. I'm sorry, but Canadians put much more AMAZING things in their halloween bags. They have these Smarties but they're like M&Ms, except they are much better.) But with the limited amount of stuff Americans put in halloween bags, I'd probably say KitKats.
Favorite country's food: Italian food is soooo good. I've never had Thai food though... so I can't say if it's good or bad.
Favorite Movies: The Mighty Ducks, Disney pixar movies are good too. I loved Meet the Robinsons, The Incredibles, Shrek... the likes. I like Miyazaki's movies. Spirited Away is UH-MAZING! Princess Mononoke is cute, too.
Favorite movie character: Hmm... this is a hard one. Maybe Haku from Spirited Away. Or Louis from Meet the Robinsons. Or Will Robinson. He was cute. You know, I have no clue. =(
Favorite book character: Um... So many books... I've recently fallen in love with the Percy Jackson from the Lightning Thief. He's just so sarcastic.
Favorite drink: Hot chocolate. Or green tea.
Least favorite drink: Um... I have no idea. Probably Polyjuice Potion. (Yeah right, like I've ever had that!)
Least favorite food: Fish. Any fish that has not been store-processed will make me puke. My parents need to learn that!
Least favorite smell: Do any of us need to know?

Well, that's a scoop of who I am! I don't know what else to say about myself... I don't bite - I promise!

Me

I did not post yesterday. I am dedicating this post to me. Just me. I will not talk about any deep stuff or whatever. This is my story.

I was born on September 25, 1995, in Frammingham, Massachusetts. I moved to Canada, when I was turning two. I grew up in Toronto for seven years. When it was the summer I was turning nine, I moved to Providence, Rhode Island for three months. We then moved to Seneca Falls, NY for 1-2 years. Now I live in Brighton.

I started playing piano when I was six or seven. I quit after about six months because my teacher was really strict. After I moved to Rhode Island, I started playing the violin. I only took 3 lessons though, because we were just about to move to Seneca Falls. In Seneca Falls, there were no violin teachers. I picked up piano again and took voice. I also started playing the flute. Now, looking back, I wish I played a more manly instrument. There were too many flutes. It's not special at all. We moved to Brighton, where I could play flute, piano, and violin simultaneously. I don't like the flute very much. I think I'm going to quit in ninth grade. It's boring, and my mother hates the sound. Even professional flute players make her ears hurt. Me quitting would be doing us all a favor.

I've always been around water, ever since I was born. There was a pool outside of our apartment, and I would play in it with my family. When I moved to Toronto, I started taking lessons and swimming in a swim team when I was five. I've been swimming in a swim team ever since. I wish I could have started diving when I was younger. I love diving.

My best memories in my life were probably the Washington trip. There were so many fun moments; I made so many more friends, and I got to know my acquaintances better. There were no "best" moments on our trip; every memory was special.

I've made many regrets in my life. There are too many to name. I've hurt many people along the way, saying things I probably shouldn't have. I've also tried to help others, sharing their burdens, and I hope that little hospitality I have to offer made their lives more happier.

I just want to say to the world... I'm sorry.

Accidental Accomplishments

I have spent the last few posts trying to introduce myself. Usually I am pretty cheerful, but I also think a lot. You might see me staring at something and become very quiet once in a while. That's probably when I'm thinking very deeply. I also might post some very deep posts once in a while. Blah! Anyways...

Did you know that scientists usually find things that they weren't looking for in the first place? Yeah. That Rutherford guy wasn't looking for the proton. Or something. But he found it, and it was an accident. Oh Bummer. The lesson is: Try doing something impossible and you'll find something else amazing along the way. Let's all tackle impossible dreams!

Yesterday, I found out Andrew doesn't want to come to the Buswona party because "it's falling apart" (quote andrew.) So I thought today would be the last day I'd ever see him again. Right after finals, I was like, "Hey Andrew, since you're not coming to Buswona, I demand a farewell hug!" And guess what he said? "No!"

Then he said he would go to Buswona. (Which is good, because it proves that our party is NOT falling apart!) But now it's at Jack's house, we can't carpool and force him to come. That means... that Chris and Andrew could completely forget/not come... and no one would be able to pick them up...

Oh bummer. So I learned today that when you try to accomplish something, you won't. But you'll accomplish something else... If that even makes sense...

In the Dust

Today is the last day of classes. It finally hits me that there are no classes tomorrow!! Wow, I am really kind of slow at this. Last year, we had parties on the last day of school. What did we do on the today? Hmm... in French we had a scavenger hunt, in English we put on a play involving Chris wearing an absolutely hideous mask, and Sammy wearing a strange rainbow color wig thingy on his head. In Social Studies, the DBQ. Why should we do the DBQ ON THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL?! In short, nothing is the same as before.

On that note, nothing IS the same as before. It seems like on the last few weeks of school, people have been falling in love this way and that. Did you know that some people think love stinks? I'm not really sure, having never experienced true love myself, but I have heard. That whole incident about Andrew backstabbing one of his good friends (and my classmate/friend as well) is one example. The person he likes... is very shallow. Nice, but shallow. And WAYYY concerned about her looks. At least he told me about it though.

Some people, such as people I am acquainted with but am not best friends with (*cough color-head cough*) don't tell me anything. People who I consider a friend don't tell me anything about their love life, which makes me wonder, "Why do people want to know in the first place?" I guess I am a hypocrite, for I do like to know about these things. It's entertaining. It's like a scoop of celebrity gossip, but gossip is never good. Entertaining, yes, moral, never.

If anyone truly knows me, they would know that I truly care about the people I talk to. Even if I talked to you only once or twice... I would still care about you. Possibly not as much as I could care, but I would definitely think about you and your problems. I guess I would say I'm a good listener... sometimes I think I might make a good psychologist. Which is weird, you know? It seems like if I talk to someone often enough, I can figure out what they want to say or what they're going to say and how their going to react. Beware, the mind reader.

Okay, this is a weird post. Going from last day of classes to me being a psychologist... how did I get there? That's another thing you can count on me for doing. Changing the topic... countless amounts of times. I never feel like I'm interesting to talk to, but sometimes, you never know.

Messed Up

So you're probably going to be able to tell that my life right now (and many others') are totally messed up. It all began today... in... science I believe. No, maybe it was homeroom. You know what? I have no idea. But... ah nevermind. I really wasn't going to say anything anyways.
I was staying after in Mrs. Carter's room, and guess who was there? None other than my best school-buswona-brother Andrew, my "fiancee" Samantha Jensen, my octuplet niece whose parents are Dynell and Dino (Emily Karlsson), and Jared Moore. Who wasn't even on Bus #1. It was so weird. Well I guess it REALLY started with me saying that this girl in my science class looked like she really liked Andrew. In the "LIKE" way. This is basically our conversation:

Me: I think ______ has a crush on you.
Andrew: You know, I kinda think so too. She's really nice. I mean, I kinda like her too...
Sam: Wait, who?
Me: Seriously? In the CRUSH way?!?
Andrew: Yeah.
Me: OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!! B-b-but... but... omg _______ (our friend) is going to get sooooo mad at you!
Sam: WHO??
Andrew: ______ (the girl)
Sam: Oh.
Andrew: Have you ever backstabbed anyone?
Cindy: *points at Sam* YESS!! She backstabbed me! Last year! I used to like someone, and omg she flippin' stole him from me!
Sam: It wasn't on purpose! I can't control my feelings.
Cindy: Well I can.
Sam: Then you are amazing.
Andrew: Yeah well *our friend* is going to be so mad.
Cindy: Why does he even like her?
Andrew: For OBVIOUS reasons! *makes gesture*
Cindy: I don't even think I wanna know.
(at this point Jared walks in)
Jared: So, what did I miss?
*all glare at Jared*
Andrew: Nevermind. But she's really nice.
Jared: Wait, does Andrew like someone?
Cindy: Uh...
Jared: ANDREW HOW COULD YOU?
Andrew: What?
Jared: You told me you didn't like anyone!
Andrew: I didn't like anyone - until this morning.
(everyone giggles/laughs)

Okay, there is more to this conversation (obviously). I am so surprised at Andrew. I mean, it's one thing to say he stopped liking That Chick, but another to say he likes _____? Sure, they could be friends, but I could NEVER imagine them going out. Sometimes I wonder why I'm even "related" to Andrew. He's crazy!

Beginning

I'm finally creating a blog, how fun.
I am posting today because of my friend, Amrita. Boy, is she angry. Mostly at Sammy. I am too, I guess. I don't really get mad at people. Okay, fine, I do. Okay, I really don't know what to say. Except that Sammy doesn't want to come to the picnic and all of us are heartbroken. What's more, my "buswona-bro" isn't coming unless Sammy is coming. He basically ruined everyone's day.
