There's been a sickness flying around town lately. I thinks it's the flu. The last few days of last week about 40% of almost all of my classes were sick at home. My dad has it too. I'm surprised I don't have it, I usually always get sick. I think I might have a low immune system, but I'm fine!
The Medieval fair is going on and I want to go so bad! I don't think that I've been there since sixth grade. They had a lot of cool things to buy and good food.

My history teacher was passing by and asked me if I was a G-ville girl and when I told him no he asked me where I was from. SO I of course had to tell him. I don't know why I'm so weird about telling people where I was born but I think it's about the attention I get when I tell them. After I told him he asked me if I could speak Tagalog, I can't and that question always makes me wish my mom had bothered to teach me when I was little.
We were assigned to do a project on a country and who was controlling them and I chose Singapore. decided that as long as it was an Asian country I wanted it. I wanted the Philippines but it wasn't one of the choices. When this guy tried to pick it I was thinking that if anyone should get to do the Philippines it should be me.
During the cultural Suna(I love her hair) and I sat in the back doing homework. When she sat next to me she said "the smell of food is disgusting" I wasn't expecting her to say that. Everyone but us was eating like pigs, it was disgusting. I felt like Chihiro from Spirited Away and that at any moment all the kids would turn into piglets.

When Sonya had two goldfish in a tupperware thing when we were at lunch, though they were actually Misa's fish. We made her take it out and set it in the middle of the table and take off the top. We didn't get in trouble because we were all out at a table in the out door area outside of the smaller cafeteria. For about twenty minutes everyone seemed unable to not be staring at them, it was very funny.
We got Mahal today. She's so much bigger! She's so hyper too, I can't get her to sit down. I let her out to do her business and as soon as she was done she was zooming around the yard at top speed. She ran into my leg and almost knocked me over. I think she's happy to be back.

My dad I went to the pound today to get Mahal back who had runaway. We went to the back where they keep that were found and brought in 'cause we knew that she was there because the lady who found her had called us. So I found her very quickly. She was so excited to see me, she was shivering like crazy and pushing so hard against the fence. The worst part was when I stood up to go inside to tell that we found her she was barking and crying like crazy. We didn't bring her home today because she's going to get shots and stuff and I'm really angry that we didn't.
I preordered DeG's next album finally and a few other things from another site. I got an email from the guy running J-XYZ saying he had sent me an email some time ago that I had never gotten. So now I have to choose a different item to replace the sold out thing and now I know that he's still alive. The DVD was ordered by my dad separately and is still way late so I don't know what's up with that.

Yesterday when we were coming inside after shopping my dad said something to me about my music.
Dad:I had to get used to it but now I actually kind of like it.(Something close to that. I had been playing Dir en grey's Kisou in the car)
Me: I didn't have to get used to it.
Dad: That's because you're young.
Me: What's that supposed to mean?
Dad: It means you're not really used to a lot of things yet.
I didn't know that my music was growing on him, my mom still thinks it's weird and I doubt that will ever change. The way he said I was young and not used to a lot of things made me feel like a new born, but in a way he's kind of right. I guess it would be harder to get into what I'm into now if I were who was used to certain things for a long while. Does that mean it's going to be harder to get into new things when I'm older? How boring.

Done a bit of shopping the last two nights. Yesterday I bought some pants, a cool hoodie from Pacsun and good smelling stuff from Victoria Secret. First time in both of those stores. Today I went to Sports Authority and bought some things for P.E. Also got two new pairs of shoes. Some Nike's and a pair of black Converse high tops. I've wanted a pair of Converse forever! I really needed new running shoes, mine were falling apart.

The future, or more specifically my future, has been consuming my thoughts lately. After reading a friends lj about her future I've decided to type these thoughts down and get them out of my head.
It all started in November when I decided I wanted to be an English teacher. Not just any English teacher but a globe trotting one. I want to teach English in Japan mostly, and if I ever lose interest in Japan(yeah right) I can find some other interesting country to teach in. I remember when I first decided this I had about a two hour chat with my father about being a teacher in a foreign country. Actually the conversation started with me asking if I could be an exchange student over the summer and visit Japan, and turned into what I might want to be for the rest of my life. The reason I asked my dad is because that's what he dad for a while. He has lived in Africa teaching English, and also the Philippines(where he met my mother and had me). We mostly talked about college and the degrees I should get. I have for as long as I can remember always wanted a job that could give me the opportunity to travel. English teacher wasn't even anywhere close to what I was thinking at the time but know it seems like a good choice. Also since my dad has experience he can be a big help.

Had a test in Science that I totally bombed. It was like "Man I just read this" I'm hoping to at least pass it.
Tomorrow is the start of the second semester which means schedule change. I hate schedule changes, just when I get comfortable with my current classmates. I'm just hoping I end up with at least one friend in one class. Is that to much to ask? Currently I have three friends during first period and then the only other time I see any of my friends during school is at lunch. It kind of really sucks, gets kind of depressing too.
I totaly aced my French quiz so for that I'm stoked. I had a good time with the friends at lunch today, especially Misa who was surprisingly there the whole time today. Though she did still skip fourth period.
It was freakin' cold today! It hasn't been cold forever here. I was glad for the weather but not well equipped for it. I live in Florida, so my house doesn't have a heater, I do however have a room heater my parents bought a couple months ago that I'm very thankful for now. It's warmed up a bit but I know the next chill will be here with nightfall.
I asked my dad if I could preorder DeG's next CD. I said "Dad can I preorder their next CD?" he just said ya, didn't even have to ask me who. He knew who it was.

A couple nights ago I went to the grocery store with my parents and got a small flower pot of mini roses. I didn't know there was such a thing as mini roses. They're really nice and I put them on my window sill, I've never had flowers that just sat in my room before.
I downloaded a butt load of songs to my ipod the last two days. I still only have about 180 but once I stop being so lazy I'll put some of the CD's that I haven't yet put on it.
I love Steve Conte songs. Most of his songs that I've heard are from Anime OSTs and I love them all. I also found my first The Eraserheads song and I've been searching for one forever, I loved the song. They're a Filipino band so I'm going to try and get some of my family that's in the Philippines to send some of the band's CD's over for me. I have also decided that I enjoy Utada Hikaru's voice when I found the song "Simple and Clean". I also downloaded some Gazette, Merry/Merii, Buck-Tick. I like them all a bit but I'm not a huge fan of them yet, but hopefully listening to them awhile I'll find a good song and become hooked.

I realized today that my friendship with Misa is stronger then I thought and that if I do decide to break things with her it will be really hard. Even when I tried to stay mad at her I found that within minutes she had gotten me to forgive her.
The druggie trio as I've dubbed then hung out for awhile with the main gang today. I found out some interesting things today, like Diana not only does drugs, but her mother knows, pays for them and does them herself. Also a good looking blond guy I've seen around daily came up to us with a wolfish grin and obviously Diana knew exaclty what he was there for because he didn't even say anything and she had an answer. He spooked me only because his sent one of his grins my way, I don't know why but he looked at me and his grin changed and he acknowledged me. I've never met the dude before or thought I'd have any contact with him so acknowledgment isn't what I was expecting, I thought he would ignore me the way he was doing everyone else but Diana. I was glad when he left and found out moments later that his visit was because he sells drugs and Diana didn't have the money so he was reminding her or something.
I could not sleep last night. I feel asleep at 2:00 in the morning and only got four hours of sleep. Waking up was really easy though, easier then when I get a full nights sleep. Weird.

Now that I've gotten my anger out by the last post I can write about fun, silly stuff.
The stands in the gym weren't pulled out so everyone that wasn't playing either basket ball or volley ball has to sit down at the edge of it. There is no where near there to sit and not be in danger of getting hit by the ball. So today was not my first, but definetly most surprising contact with the basket ball game. Usually a person is only in danger of having a large orange ball flying towards their head, I had a whole body. I was sitting on the floor next to Caitlin and Dani, not even paying attention to the game, when someone comes flying at me. Since I wasn't paying attention I didn't actually see them being pushed in my direction, the first sign was that someones foot came down on my ankle. Lukily it slid off instead of crushing my bones. Then I look up and then scrunch myself as close to the wall as possible. The guy has put his hands up on either side of my head to stop his fall and is leaning down from slipping one my ankle, so he's a little closer to me then is comfortable. Good thing those guys are like cats becuase in a second he's jumped up and gone.
I wish I had really good reflexes, I don't blame him for almost falling on me or stepping on my ankle or anything, but I wish I had reflexes so that I could have kneed him in the balls, it would have been awesome.^^
Yesterday during the same class that this incident happened on, though a different day, the coach handed out quiz things you fill out and you're told who you're perfect match is in the school. It was stupid and I didn't want to do it. I should have known better then to think I'd get my way. Within moments Caitlin and Dani are pestering me to do it. SO I do. And it was really stupid. Also you have to pay two buck to get the results, it's like some kind of fundraiser for Valentines day. I wanted to lie on it, that would have made if fun.

Misa's been changing dramatically lately, and I hate it. We were pretty tight you know, good friends. Then this week came around and she's been pretty much gone. I don't know were just gone. She doesn't eat with me and the gang anymore. It's not really that she as a person has changed its just the things that she does that has changed. She wasn't a perfect student but she at least attended classes and tried. I found out today, while having the longest chat that I've had with her all week, a total of one minute, that she has been skipping fourth period the all week. She's been hanging out with Sonya, the Bitchy I-skip-classes-and-smoke-pot-'cause-I-think-it's-cool chick. I absolutely hate Sonya, but I'll leave her 'till later. Misa actually made an appearance with her stoner pals Sonya and Diana today and she came up to me and I said "you're not my friend anymore" and she says "Why?! Danielle was the one that ate the fries!" (Misa usually gives me her fries} and I told her I was joking. I kinda was. But if she keeps this up, I won't be joking. It's hard to be friends with someone who's barely there. Being deserted is one of the things I hate most and she's on the road to being someone I'll never be able to look at with respect anymore. She's going down the path Sonya took not to long ago.
Let me spell out the Sonya situation for my own sanity. I didn't know her when I started school but I had friends from middle school so we hung out. Soon Misa introduced me to Angeline(who I'm still good friends with} who then introduced{introduced is so the wrong word here} me to Sonya. Sonya sort of ignored me at first, then all of the sudden about two weeks later me and Sonya are best pals and always together. Then one day she was gone, ate lunch somewhere else. For two weeks she did that and didn't even talk to us. When she came back I ignored her. I guess maybe I over reacted but I can't stand being ignored or forgotten and then have the person think everything is peachy. Once you desert me, I never forgive and you never come back.
Sonya was clean back when we were friends. It's her new pals that she got that crap she smokes now and their influence that started the skipping classes. She'll come over just to show how cool she is 'cause of the crap she smokes. I feel sorry for the girl and her disappearing brain cells. Though not sure if she had many to start with.
I may by looks or my musical preference fall into the "drug doers" and "class skippers" or "alcohol drinkers" groups but I know better then to start that crap. I've got to many places to go, things to do and sites to see to have something as stupid as that hold me back. It just isn't going to happen. My goals and my future are way to important to me.

WE've been having science presentations lately and as a visual two groups made a video. The two groups are the four stoner, rock, punk type and the videos were very entertaining for us kids, but probably not so for our teacher. The first one was pretty much a reenactment of the Jackass movie. To show laws of motion the guys jumped off of a ledge into a bush, one sat in a shopping cart and the other pushed the cart into a curb and the guy would go flying and they hid in bushes throwing eggs at each other. They were outside on the Publix parking lot which for me made it all the funnier. The other groups video was much tamer but still funny.
Last night we found out that the dogs where gone. So we did a little bit of searching on foot but we didn't find them, so we went in out ratty truck two of us in the back. It was so cool! I've never ridden in the back of a truck but I've always wanted to. We didn't find them. Then I got home today to find out that my mom went to the pound and found them. Yay!

My stuff hasn't arrived yet. I was pissed for awhile but then I found out that the guy running the website was in an accident so I don't mind anymore, hope he's okay. Truthfully I'm kind of forgetting about the stuff, I feel like it'll never come so it's like, whatever.
I went to Blockbuster and my brother and I were walking down the main isle. I must have been looking down but my brother who was next to me told me to look up, or more specifically a grunt a nudge and a point, ant there standing in the corner was the female gator mascot for our cities teams. I was in shock 'cause it's not often you find yourself ten feet away from a standing gator when all you're looking for is a good movie. So he and I turned around and jogged in the other direction, not that there's any problem with mascots, I just think it's creepy not knowing who's in there. My brother ran simply because I did and he tends to stick by my side whenever we go "exploring" on our own. Me and Sean had decided that there were no decent Recent Release movies so we headed for the Anime. The biggest problem was that the thing was close enough to that section for us to hide and pretend to look at the action movies while kinda trailing our dad. Me and my brother still have the adventurous imaginations, or that's what people tell us, from when we were younger and in our minds if we got anywhere near the thing it would tickle attack us and the world would end! Horrible I know. So when it left we made a break for the anime, my bro chose "Chastle in the Sky" simply because we both knew it was a Miyazaki film and we now love his movies. I chose what ever had artwork that looked like it might be Miyazaki drawn and got it. My dad got "Cats".
I chose the movie "Grave of the Fireflies". It's about two Japanese{duh} siblings that are orphaned during WW2 and try to survive an their own. One is Seita a fourteen year old and the other is four year old Setsuko. It's really sad. I cried when I watched it, not wailing and sniffling, just tears rolling that I couldn't control. I watched two more times with the same result. It's a good movie, just sad.
Oh I forgot to mention that the mascot was there handing out free tickets for the ladies basket ball game on Sunday. She had moved to out side of te door aswell as a cow mascot, though what it was a mascot for I'll never know. When I went outside the cow bowed to me, which I thought was strange, because It didn't bow to anyone else, it must have known the costume creeps me out and did it because of that.

Yesterday in science we did a star lab. It's in the library and it's this big dome that is blown up with fans. Kinda like a moon bounce. The girls went in first and we all lied down around the edge facing in. The teacher turned off the lights and put a thing that projected a picture of constellations onto the dome roof. Or the night sky, it was like we were outside at night. It was awesome, we just lied there for a long while, it seemed like everyone was a asleep. I wish we could of stayed in it all period. It smelt good inside, like Canada. When I went to Canada there was something that smelled the way that thing did. It was either the air or my aunts apartment.

I've been slacking with updates, I feel ashamed. A lot has happened, like school starting up again, but most of it has been forgotten.
Michael had mayonnaise on the side of his mouth during lunch, we laughed at how messy he is. Dani took a picture of me by surprise. So now she has a pic of me leaning against a wall with my head bent down while my mind was blanking.

Went out today planning on getting a new CD player and possibly the black and white checkered shoes I want so much. I got neither. Instead I bought an Ipod Mini while at Circuit City. I just spent the last couple of hours installing and doing other things like that. It sucked up all of the money I got for Christmas and then some. It's blue in color. I've named it Toshiya, because in my mind that is his color. I have 55 songs so far.
Here's a link to my post at my livejournal that has four scans of Kyo's new poem book. My journal is friends only but the entry will be viewable for everyone for a bit.

My family is taking with them to some town I've never heard of that's probably really boring where it's main feature will be lots of farms. Ugh. They won't tell me how far it is or in what direction so now I can't even plan a proper escape. I'll bring my music along and force them to listen to it as pay back. Also because my CD player has random seizures so I don't trust it with my precious CD's.
I was going to scan some pics from Kyo's poem book since many are quite pretty but alas, that will have to wait 'till either tonight or tomorrow.
