College Circuit

Posted by kaolla at 06:02 PM on May 2, 2004.

More people came to look at our house today. I made a new layout!

Pluggin'!

Of course, none of the links work, but whatever. Here is the current site, so let's plug it some more!

More Pluggin'

Anyway, today was pretty bad. I'm STILL writing my english paper, and like I said before, people came over to look at our house. These days I suddenly start crying when I think about moving, so I hope that doesn't mean I'm getting depressed or anything, because that would not help once I actually do the move. If you know what I mean.

I read Al Franken's book. Very good, and I surprised myself for liking it. He's not actually a completely hardcore liberal, because those of any political affliation is just.. bad.

On the Chinese circuit (courtesy of mother): 2 junior chinese girls from Clayton got 1400 somethings on their SATs, planning to retake. Both got 33/34 on ACT, no word on retake.
Ladue Chinese girl got into Stanford. Also wanted by Yale, but turned them down. I guess she likes the west coast.

On the Not-So-Asian circuit, two obscure boys from English class' sisters got into Washu.

Lots of Results

Posted by kaolla at 09:26 PM on May 3, 2004.

I finished watching Ceres.  Actually I liked the ending a lot more than I thought I was going to.  I cried at the end (typical).  Personally I think Ceres' story is the best out of all of them.


I still don't really like Touya.  Sorry, Karen.  Let's see, people are once again looking at our house as I type.  My mother is trying to make our house look busy by turning on the TV.  Oh my wonderful family.  We are so real, aren't we.  Today felt kinda good because I had actually done all my homework.  Aren't I amazing.  ::Bow::


Expect a lot from me this summer as far as web design goes...  I will have nothing to do except go on the internet.  I think a road trip for you all is in order.  Hopefully, if we get moved in or something.  God dammit. 


I'm so not excited.  Now there's only 20 days of school left, and I don't know what to do.  Only 20 days left at Clayton and then I pack my bags and leave.  I'm going to tear my hair or something.  Actually hopefully not, right Liesl?  ::sigh::




you are limegreen
#32CD32

Your dominant hue is green. You're logical and steadfast, focused on figuring life out and doing what makes sense. You value being trusted because you know you're taking the time to figure things out and everyone should just follow you.

Your saturation level is higher than average - You know what you want, but sometimes know not to tell everyone. You value accomplishments and know you can get the job done, so don't be afraid to run out and make things happen.

Your outlook on life is brighter than most people's. You like the idea of influencing things for the better and find hope in situations where others might give up. You're not exactly a bouncy sunshine but things in your world generally look up.

The Great Migration

Posted by kaolla at 08:43 PM on May 5, 2004.

The end of the year is creeping up.. yet.. again... except this time it will actually affect me. God I always sound like I'm whining now, but what can I do? Blech.

The school in New Orleans has said they will wait until the middle of MAY to say who got in. I don't have that kind of time. We have to rent a house soon. I don't really know what the think right now. We are moving? But we don't know when. We are moving out? But to where, we don't know. I am changing schools? To which school?
There are so many questions that no one is answering and I can only sit here and wait. It's frustrating but then I think about people going off after High School and can't wait. It feels like I have moving-itis where I feel like there's nothing for me to do anyway.

My english teacher liked the paper I wrote relating Locke to Lord of the Flies and about how Locke's philosophy would ultimately fail. Yeah for failing. ::rolls eyes::

My physics teacher is insane. He puts tests off progress reports, then steals my mints... my precious mints... oh.... ::sob:: and he places me next to the village idiot when we switch seats.

Not that it matters Drozdova, but I'm working with him again in physics.. haha... too bad we're both gonna miss him next year (exaggeration).

Why is everyone migrating towards Stanford? Or at least Palo Alto? This makes it... 6 people! In a matter of a few weeks, too.

How do you guys do it. I could never live in California... east coast for Yue!

I changed the layout to my site. The tagboard isn't working.. Mikki, is there something blocked on the server that doesn't let the php work? Or is my html just off?


My Bloginality is INFP!!!

You are an INFP!
As an INFP, you are Intraverted, iNtuative, Feeling , Perceiving.
This makes your primary focus on Introverted Feeling with Extraverted Intuition.

This is defined as a NF personality, which is part of Carl Jung's Idealist (Identity Seeking) type, and more specifically the Healers or Idealist

As a weblogger, you have wonderful words to express your feelings because of your idealism. Because you don't like conflict, you may be likely to make one list of links and leave it for a long time without updating for fear of offending.

Bomb in the Post Office? Paranoia can kiss my ass

Posted by kaolla at 07:21 PM on May 11, 2004.

Today after school I went to the post office to mail something and a woman put a box down and went to park her car in the right spot since the post office was closing and she was rushing in.
About 5 minutes later she wasn't back yet and then this tall woman went to the post people and asked about the package, looking worried.

GET A LIFE WOMAN

Honestly, it's not a bomb. I can't believe the level of paranoia this country has gone to.

My piano teacher is so bitchy. I don't understand what she's saying, I tell her, and screams at me that I'm always confused about that and there's no point in telling me over and over again. It's like I can't ask questions! What the hell?!

Anyway, the main reason we went to the post office was the send a money order to put a deposit on the house in New Orleans.

I found the girl they picked to play Cho Chang here. If you go to the main page of the xanga to find the other actresses that were going to make it. Haduri is much prettier than that blurry headshot. But then again, what do I care, I hate Harry Potter. -_-

Today I got overheated. I'm sick now.

You know who's hot.... I don't anymore.

Test results!

Posted by kaolla at 09:55 PM on May 14, 2004.

I got my test results for Benjamin Franklin. Here they are.

English- 99
Reading- 98
Math- 96

Pretty good, if I do say so myself. Now I'm not accepted yet because they haven't recieve my transcript yet, but...

Ok, I'm still not happy about moving, but at least I know I'm probably going to a good school, right?

School is boring, what can I say. Last day of swimming, rainy day, blah, still sure I did bad on the math test (do not look upon the above score as a worthy reflection of how I do in Math).

Had interesting conversation today and realized that had I not been friends with most of my friends in middle school I probably would've hated them. Not that I don't hold some dislike for a certain few now. *shell*

We really need to practice for the wedding. Miller is such a...argh....argh... I don't really mind sitting back by the TERRIBLE DRUMS (yes I do mind) but honestly... Q really really smells.. like.. the bottom of shoes and mulch. It's really disgusting.

Riding Away on a Fast Convertible

Posted by kaolla at 09:07 PM on May 19, 2004.


Finally got a good grade on my math test. Yay? Still need to work on Rube Goldberg and Spanish and Math projects. I can feel my brain fizzling slowly and rotting away while I just sit here and attempt to type. I hate Rube Goldberg and the evils of the physics department.

Today was the Orchestra dress rehersal. The 8th grade whores just look more so every time I look at them. How giggly and huggy are people able to get without combusting?

Miller moved me back for no reason in her moment of eternal idiocy and now she definetly won't move me 'back' to where I was before. That is just totally unfair. If she knew I was leaving she might not do that but she forgets about me. She rearranged the chairs and completely forgot I was even in the section. Psst, everyone, if she doesn't know I'm moving, allow me to quietly disappear and don't tell her.

Rode home in Joey's black convertible with Brittany and I'm sure we scared my smoky next-doors. Ha. In their faces.

For some reason I don't feel sad about the last few days of school. I suppose it hasn't really hit yet in some way, although I've pretty much known all year. It's pretty sad, in many ways.

Birthday Present Requests

Posted by kaolla at 10:11 PM on May 21, 2004.

After going through DMB's hosting board which I haven't visited since a brief hosting stint with Liesl, I have decided upon this.

For my birthday, I would like a domain and a pre-paid for hosting plan. I haven't really been back into the html groove until lately (and lately I've been busy with finals, so that's kind of redundant, but catch my drift).

Of course, Mikki was kind enough to host me and I really love her domain name. However I'd just like a lot of control over what I can do and what changes need to be made. Therefore...

Friends, I know that I'm moving and that it sucks. So, for my birthday it would be wonderful to recieve this package. Hopefully you're also willing to give me the renewal information as well.

Here are some sites, Comforthost, E-starr, and Netrillium .


If not, I'll try to scourage up the money, but I also need to buy gifts that will leave me as broken as ebonics.

domain names.. argh..

Posted by kaolla at 04:50 PM on May 25, 2004.

Seems that Netrillium has some pretty good deals on domain names and hosting. ::winks to myself and is pathetic::


I can't decide on these following names:
waterga.net
thundaga.org
dreamusic.org

What do you think?

one of the 2

Posted by kaolla at 08:22 PM on May 26, 2004.

I was accepted into Benjamin Franklin, the so called 'top' school in the state of Louisiana.

Because we all had a fob moment, the grade report we sent to the school was messed up. Therefore they have me taking Spanish II next year. Spanish II... oh dear. And apparently I'm taking Bio instead of Chem. The school requires a 'psychologial analysis' to place me into a gifted class. With 3 psychiatrists. What the holy hell. I am feeling less and less excited. Yet considering my starting level of excitement, this is not saying much.

I was one of the only 2 sophmores accepted. Probably due to my stellar test scores :bvious wink:: Look down at previous posts to see them.

Going on vacation with Brittany. With all luck my final will be made up on a time other than yearbook signing. Wish me luck.

Now I need something else for my birthday that my nice ::sucks up:: friends have decided to purchase me a domain.

Hmm.

By the way, try this link.

cruise away on 16 candles

Posted by kaolla at 10:07 PM on May 29, 2004.

Yesterday was Brittany's birthday party. Went in a limo for pizza and ice cream. They also dressed me up like an asian whore. It was fun, although awkward at times. Very funny at Coffee Cartel when Brittany and I saw that flamboyant guy. Wohoh. I really hate coffee. Blech.

We saw Finding Nemo and it was alright, definetly better than the sub-par 80s acting of Sixteen Candles. Man the only person who could actually act was Anthony Michael Hall who didn't even have a name in the movie other than 'geek'. It was so bad and stereotypical and unbelievable in every way.

Slept over at Brittany's. The ground was hard but it was alright, the sleeping bad kept rolling on itself...crispy egg roll?!

Anyway, my dad came home today and I bought DDR2 (why?!) and Hot Shots Golf 3.

We also played at Ms B's wedding. It was the first wedding I've ever been at and I have to say it was not that interesting. But there was free kiddy cocktails and food. Plus it felt good to do one last good thing for Ms B.

I hope we don't sell our house so I don't have to move. I know it's horrible and it would put us in a horrible financial situation but I can't help but be selfish. The school next year just looks terrible. They don't offer any classes and don't give you any flexibility in your schedule. I really need to talk to my Spanish teacher.

And study for finals. Shit.
