OH HEY THERE

hey y'all. what's up? thought i'd drop by and see if anyone posted anything. it's been quite a while, don't you think?

anyhooo. i don't think i got an email from you, Elaine...which email did you send it to? and i spoke/talked/facebooked with rona recently actually. she just got home from a trip to the west coast [!!!!!] and started school, just like me. too bad i was out of town when she came otherwise i totally would've gone to meet her in person.

I'M A SOPHOMOREEE! now nobody can call me freshman again. god that was annoying. but i feel old now and it's all my mom's fault. darn her. classes are hard. i'm in AP French Language and half the time i don't understand what the hell my teacher is saying, though she seems nice for the most part. western civ isn't anything to look forward too either. and i'm not playing field hockey this year. it takes up way too much of my time, when i could be doing more exciting things like hanging out with my friends and making fun of this guy who looks like a beaver hahaha.

so yeah. that's about it. i wish summer lasted longer.

Google Chrome, and where is everyone?

Hey, Nick. 's been a while.

Chrome's great, except for one thing: if it opens up an incomplete HTML document (like the loading gets truncated part of the way through due to a network error, say, with unclosed HTML tags as a result), it crashes. Every. Single. Time. Because I'm using a laptop with an hypersensitive wireless switch, this is a problem. I've sent them an error report through their E-Z-Error-Report-Form a while ago; no dice. Consider this "going public". (If this gets picked up by a bigger blog, please make sure they know orngjce223 sent 'em.)

btw, where's KC, Rona, Irene, the rest of the gang? did they just leave or something? :( I'll go send them emails to see if anything's up.

update: I sent something and Suzanna replied!! let's see, where's kc and rona? we need them all!

Too long.

Long time, no talk.
sup?

-Nick

So how long has it been anyhow?

If you got an invitation to some JHU website called "Cogito", I strongly suggest you check it out. I'm known (like most everywhere else) as orngjce223.

And have I changed since the last time I was here!

Whoa There, Sailor!

I have not been here in so long. I was just procrastinating on this history quiz I have to make up over the weekend [because I missed class for field hockey!] and my dad blocked everything else so I remembered this. And that is my sad story.

So how is everyone's high school experiences? I am pretty sure everyone is in high school by now... right?!

Mine is going well so far. History used to be my hardest subject but now that I am more "proactive," I find that my teacher likes me more. Huh. So probably English now, which is ironic because my Pizza Party course was "Crafting the Essay," but whatever. Those reflections we have to write are hard because the books we are reading are so weird! And French3. Ugh. But my teacher is nice so that's good.

And Nick, Pork and Beans=amazing song :) I've been listening to a lot of different things lately, like expanding my music knowledge base, I guess you could call it. Current favorite bands: All Time Low, Secondhand Serenade, The Offspring, Katy Perry, Chris Brown, Ne-Yo, Jonas Brothers, Demi Lovato, etc. I am all over the placeee.

And the most exciting part of high school is not actually the dances. I have been to 3 of them so far [and only one was my school's; I just went to one last night too] and while the music is good and all, it's just weird. And I feel like my boyfriend is like constantly watching me and aghhhh. I don't know. Let's hope this is just a phase.

Field hockey is the most amazing sport ever. It is so violent but it is majorly fun and I love it. Anyone else play it??

Sososo. I will be back in a while. Meaning a few months probably. But still. And I need to practice guitar too. My weekend is jampacked. Grr.

California Burnin'

This is a blog I'm establishing for the California fire situation. Of course I'm in Southern California, so I do have a slightly closer perspective than a lot of people I know online. In any case, I'm posting to check in with all of you people there.

And why can I still post on CTY Pizza Party 07 on the website? Oh well, maybe we can organize to "just talk" there at some point. Next year.

other stuffz

well, today i started my next CTY course: poetry. I have a bad feeling about this....18 or so hours in, and not a single post on Pizza Party...........I'll ask, anyone else doing CTY or Pizza Party?
Well, in other news, I got a new guitar for my birthday, a '72 Telecaster Deluxe. It's purdy.
Also, I WON TICKETS FOR COLDPLAY'S FREE CONCERT AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN!!! it's next week (6/23), but i have to talk my parents into letting me go because i have a German Regents (for all non-New Yorkers: Regents are state run standardized tests) the next day AT NOON. Come on, NOON. it's not like it's the first test of the day at 7:30 or something!
In the world of recent musical releases: I absolutely LOVE Weezer's new album ("Weezer III," "The Red Album," whatever you want to call it.) and Death Cab For Cutie's wasn't too bad either. Coldplay's new album comes out tomorrow, I've heard it's pretty good. Also, if you like something a bit weird, i recommend downloading Nine Inch Nails' new album, "The Slip." You can download it for free (and legally) at nin.com. It's pretty rockin'.
I finished my last day of classes today, but i have finals spread around from tomorrow until next Tuesday. After that I'm up to Boston for a Vocal Summit at Berklee College of Music. Should be fun
Also, check out Weezer's video for "Pork And Beans", if you haven't already.
Sorry, but the picture's for a contest by Weezer's fan club.....clicks would be appreciated.
-Nick



EDIT: 6/20/08: Somehow, I am able to STILL post on the Pizza Party 07 boards. weird.

Graduationnnnnnn

OMG I'm FINALLY graduating today!!!! [I wonder how many times I've typed the word "graduation" or "graduation today."]

Steph, I'm sorry, but Edward Cullen is actually MINE. Even if my name isn't Bella Swan. But neither is yours. And I've liked Edward longer than you [in my mind. or maybe in truth!] so I deserve him. Haha actually no one CAN have him no matter how much we wish.

I have a facebook too. Just go search me. KC Wu. But my display name is Kaycee Wu. I think. I'm not sure. And... yeah. Just checking in, I guess.

Anyone besides Nick doing CTY again? I know I'm not...

xoxosss

Stuffz

i do really enjoy the twilight series. KC, edward is mine- you can have lame old harry. =D

nick,
lucky =[ you got to see the foo fighters live. what songs did they perform?

on the subject of HSs i got a half scholarship (($22,000)) to my #1 school!

that earned me a PS3, which is the greatest system ever- i recommend it to all.

and i have a myspace aswell. www.myspace.com/dasteph

good luck to all with HSs,

St3ph

and now I have somethin' odd here

So this is what it's like to blog from email.

I suppose it could be better, but I don't have access to the "blogspot" domain at all, so good thing I remembered this.  Could someone send a screenshot to me? (In email, of course, so if you don't know my email, don't even bother.)

I'm in swimming now, with some complaints about the scheduling of the whole thing.  What, do I have to check my email at 6:00 every morning to make sure I don't miss anything?  Because the calendar, so far, is completely wrong.

I drew a political cartoon and sent it to the school newspaper for review.  It's something about the U.S. economy having the flu.  Let's see if it gets in.

Meanwhile I need to be getting to school.  We have a really late start today, thanks to CAHSEE testing.

Remember me?

Hey, it's nick.
So, anyone doing CTY this summer? I'm taking Poetry, which means....more PIZZA PARTY!
In the last 2 weeks, I saw both the Foo Fighters (So cool, it was on Fuse as well), and Eric Clapton/Steve Winwood (GODS.) at Madison Square Garden. So that's what i've been up to lately, and check out this music video I made.It's on youtube, at http://youtube.com/watch?v=Yg0n7aAR7eQ. The clips were downloaded from www.supernaturalsuperserious.com, and R.E.M. is encouraging Fan-made mixes. Download the song off iTunes or wherever, Download whichever videos you want, and edit them in iMovie or Windows Movie Maker. Just make sure that you mute the videos before you put the song over it. have fun!

-Nick

YES

YES OMG OF COURSE I HAVE READ THE TWILIGHT SERIES!!! ITS MY SECOND FAVORITE SERIES EVER TO EXIST!!! (second only to HP of course)
BellaxEdward foreverrrrrrrrrrr
OMG but did you hear that Breaking Dawn is coming out on August 2?? I'm so excited!!! I preordered it off of Amazon already :))))
And it's also the fourth and FINAL book ever in the Twilight seriessssssssssss
Besides the one from Edward's POV. Which would be cool.
But the fact that its the last one..... ever..... *starts sobbing uncontrollably*

So have you guys been lately? I know, I haven't been on either... I got a MySpace though, if you guys have them.... My URL is http://www.myspace.com/kaycee_the_krazy. But my profile is private. So muahaha.

Anyways. Have you guys heard that they're adding a new scene into the HP6 movie? One that wasn't in the book! But they have approval from JKR so I guess it's okay..... But it basically just shows how even the Muggle world is being dominated by MoldyVoldy's evil.

OMG my high school acceptance letters are coming. Like in 12 days or something. It's less than 2 weeks. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH *freaks out and runs around*

*breathes in deeply* I'm okay.

Post people! (Yeah, I'm not setting a great example, but it's still nice to see new stuff since my last visit!)

xoxo, kaycee

=[

woah...it's like everyone died. so i was writing a BORING essay for school, and found these funny named documents in word. i opened them and found i had screenshots of pizza party! i also had copied and pasted the wholes "3 words story" (annoying "MEH GET TEH LAST WORD" spam made it take up 600 pages =P

just thought it was funny i found it.


made me crack upp.


so how's life if anyone's still alive.

-St3ph

PS KC, have you read the twilight series?

Let's see how long THIS lasts

The previous pattern is broken, and now come the Santa Ana winds... which usually only come in October, and are the same winds (although with different molecules in tow) that caused those firestorms in Octobers of previous years. We're getting a seriously windy New Year's Eve and Day.

HELLO.

okay..update time i guess.

dropped by Borders a few days ago for some new manga. :] anyways, i got this 'sunny seed drops' candy thing? itsl ike sunflower seeds dipped in chocolate to make a raindrop shape...and i'm obbsessed with it. :P

Oh, and i managed to fail my earth science test. i hate earth science so much. seriously. i got my first in-the-70's-grade and now my first failing grade in this class. grrr. and i didnt show my mom. no wayyy i'm showing her until i can do some MAJOR extra cred to boost up this grade.

ooh and now i have some new song obbsessions <3>
-Animal I have Become : Three Days Grace
- Shamrock : UVERworld [ its a jpop song ]
- How Far We've Come : Matchbox Twenty
- Paralyzer : Finger Eleven
- and some other song by One Republic I can't remember...arghhh.


I've gotten crazier about some mangas to...eh, there's only about 2 i'm keeping an eye on really:
- Shinshi Doumei Cross [ aka The Gentlemen's alliance Cross ]
- Tsubasa Chronicle


I think my drawing skills got better...-prideful gloating-

Well, thats all for now...I have some pics from my school up on my facebook...

Rainy season

The fire danger here in SoCal is definitely and totally out, but that's because now it rains once a week. It rains every Friday and Saturday (at least, since the middle of November), and every Tuesday we get a high surf advisory. Very periodic pattern.

In other news, it's Edit Wikipedia Week. There's an edit tab on the top of every Wikipedia page - see Wikipedia's introduction to find out what all that stuff in the edit box is. Then when you come across a too-short article or one which needs to be proofread, click the edit tab and do it!

Well...

The fires have gone, but now it's time for the mudslides...

Guitar hero III IS Addicting, steph. I'm currently halfway through hard. Favorite songs so far: My Name Is Jonas-Weezer (Favorite song of all time, though), Even Flow-Pearl Jam, Prayer of the Refugee-Rise Against, Helicopter-Bloc Party (Co-op only), Bulls on Parade-Rage Against the Machine, and i'm amazed that the sex pistols rerecorded Anarchy in the UK for the game.

I just downloaded this new john mayer song, called Say. It's pretty good.

-Nick

hii.

i dunno...i liked poll. what genius made that one up?? *cough*

my recent drug of choice? guitar hero III

I'M SOO ADDICTED.

even though i stink and can onl beat career on medium and play a few songs on hard, i lovee it. it's also introduced me to some sweet songs.

check these out:

before i forget- slipknot

can't be saved- senses fail

prayer of the refugee- rise against

through the fire and flames- dragon force

rock you like a hurricane- the scorpians

blahh.

i have a retreat on wednesday with my class. wish me luck.

-St3ph

Not again!?

I poked my nose out the window this morning. Smoky.

Slightly curious, I turned on the radio. They were saying something about a fire in Malibu. I groaned.

Remember, last time that portended what was later called a "firestorm" by just about everyone I've heard from.

(note: an attempt at nonfiction narrative... to be continued in next posts (if I remember))
