I love you, NICOLE. You light up my life.

Wow. This is amazing. David - Translate this for me? That will be your homework for tonight, mkay?

Hey. The Moulin Rouge soundtrack is actually really good.

Fave songs:
06: Your Song (written by Elton John) - Ewan McGregor (Obi-Wan!)
10: Diamond Dogs - Beck
11: Come What May - Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor

Actual AT&T phone conversation from this morning:

AT&T (in Mandarin): Hi, this is AT&T and I want to tell you about our great international long distance rates. Do you call outside of the country a lot?
Mom: We mostly call Taiwan and Hong Kong.
AT&T: Oh really? Well, we've got the perfect plan for you. Now, calls to Taiwan and most parts of Asia are only 12 cents a minute.
Mom: Well, calls using the phone company we use right now are only 4 cents a minute.
AT&T: Yeah... but our long distance international plan is really good!

If it was me who answered the phone:

AT&T (in Mandarin): Hi, this is AT&T and may I please speak to the owner of the house?
Me (in English): What?
AT&T (in Mandarin): Is your mom home?
Me: What?
AT&T (in Mandarin): Do you speak Chinese
Me: What? I don't understand what you are saying.
AT&T (in English): Oh. I sorry. I call back. *click*

See? So much easier. And if American AT&T people call, I just pretend I don't speak English. Works like a charm.

MERRY EASTER !

On of my friends came back in town for Easter Sunday from Knoxville. It was fun. On Friday (Random: Why do we call it "Good Friday" when Jesus was crucified in the cross? Sure, I guess it's good that He died for the everyone's sins and all, but he was nailed through His wrists to a friken cross! Anyway, I digress...), we watched Legally Blond, but at night I had to do some wretched Chinese homework, so she just watched some TV. Home Alone 2 was on. Last night, we played with make-up and did each other's hair. Totally girly. I like doing that kind of stuff though. Sharon was giving ideas of what make-up to do for prom this coming Saturday. She made me look like a 5 dollar whore really pretty. Can't wait >_< Afterwards, we stayed up till almost 4 in the morning watching Moulin Rouge (2nd time for me - I watched it on Friday morning, Sharon wasn't here yet.). I actually didn't cry as much as when I watched it on Friday. I bawled that time, but I blame it on my period. Ugh. School tomorrow. My schedule for the rest of the year:

April 6 - Prom
April 18-21 - Youth Legislature State Competition
May 1 - AP US History Final (part I)
May 2 - AP US History Final (part II)
May 3-8 - Bill of Rights National Competition in Washington D.C.
May 9 - AP English Exam
May 10 - AP US History Exam
May 14 - AP Biology Exam
May 15 - AP Government Exam, AP Comparative Politics Exam
May 20 - Economics Final
May 22 - Pre Calculus Final

Yeah. I'll be thrilled if I am able to make it through the next two months.

In Comparative Politics today...

Teacher: So what all do you people know about China?
Girl: Well... It's a communist country.
Teacher: Good... What else?
Class: ...
Teacher: Class?
Class: ...
Teacher: Oh come on! You guys have to know something about China, about the Chinese. There's lots of them, they're short, yellow, and they like rice. Anything!

So apparently, my teacher didn't have much sleep last night, and therefore was acting all crazy funny today. All, dancing around and stuff. It was amusing. Other entertaining quotes:

"If I were to say everything that I was thinking about outloud, I would get fired."
"Bunny Peeps? Chick Peeps? Well some bunnies are chicks... "
"The Chinese constitution?? Wee! Socialist party? That's what I'm talkin' about."

She also made a classmate do a headstand against her steel cabinets because she overheard him say a cuss word: "You can either go to the office and get sent home, or you can do a headstand right now."

I have the best English/History/Government teacher in the whole world.

Oh no! Say it isn't so! But they were so good together!

One of the worst feelings in the world that you might not want to hear but I'm gonna share anyway: So I was sitting in class today in the middle of 4th period, and I started to feel really really bad. I wanted to throw up and curl up in the fetal position at the same time. And I was like, whoa, where is this coming from? I hurt a lot. Then I slapped my forehead. Period. Duh. I knew I was missing something this month. Then a second thought came into mind: Oh shit. I'm bleeding but I don't have anything to... um... block it, so to speak. I didn't want to have to ask to get up in the middle of class because what if I bled through my pants? Then everyone would see! Oh no! What do I do?! So here I was, with the most horriblest cramps, having a major crisis. What did I do? I laid my head down and slept. I went to the restroom before 5th period, took 3 Advils, and I feel much, much better now. I came home and ate a big bowl of curry chicken and I'm listening to Jason Wade - You Belong to Me (you know, the song from Shrek, with the guy from Lifehouse singing), and everything is good.

It's hard to get back into the swing of things when you have been waking up no earlier than 10ish everyday for the past week. I could barely drag myself out of bed this morning, and I waited till the *last* possible minute to get up so I wouldn't be late for school. So naturally, I would be very tired throughout the school day and would tend to drift asleep during class. But of course, all of my teachers are trying to get us to wake up and pay attention and threaten us by saying, "Your AP exams are in 6 weeks. If you don't listen now and take good notes and study hard or you will fail the exams, not getting college credit, not getting into the college you'd want to get into, you will have no job, and will live in the streets as a bum. You will die as a broke, worthless, stupid, nobody. You will die lonely with no friends and no family because no one will want to be with you because you failed your AP exams." Of course, guess who's gonna fail? Lemme give you a hint: It's not you.

On a lighter note, prom is next Saturday and I am listening to *NSYNC. Their latest CD is actually pretty good. Current song: See Right Through You.

I am so smart (part 3): I took a Britain test today in my AP Government/Comparative Politics class, and for the essay section, I wrote up a storm. I wrote about 3 and a half pages, which is a lot for me seeing how I usually write only 1 and a half pages. As I was looking over what I had written, I looked at how I spelled Britain and thought it looked funny, but was like, oh well, 1 minute left, who cares. So it wasn't till after I turned in my paper that I had realized I spelt Britain wrong. Throughout the entire fucking essay. And we have been talking about that country for more than 2 weeks. Remind me again: Why am I in that class? Note to self: it's spelled "Britain", not "Britian".

Mom: Tammy, you messed up the tape.
Me: What do you mean I messed it up?
Mom: Well you didn't record the Oscars! You recorded the wrong channel or something.
Me: Are you sure? I checked right before to make sure that I had it right.
Mom: Yeah. But I was going to watch it today but the tape didn't show the Oscars or anything, it was something completely different. A different show.
Me: That's really weird. I could have sworn I set the timer for the right channel and right time... Did you rewind the tape?
Mom: Oh. No.
Me: ... I can't believe I'm related to you.

This dude lieks milk. =)

Ew. School starts again in one day. My week of hibernation has to come to a stop. But hey, there's only two more months of school. Two very long, very stressful, very work-packed weeks. Anyway... Guess that's bout it for now. I just hope I won't kill myself before these two months are up.

Girl: So where are we going to get your tux?
Vertically Challanged Friend: Well, there's the place in the mall, Bittner's, and Big & Tall, but we all know that that place is not gonna work for me.
Me: What? There's no Small & Short just for you?
VCF: You are a dumbass. We're going to Bittner's.
Me: Are you sure that place rents children's tuxes?
VCF: You are so going to hell.
Me: You were so asking for it.

Making fun of VCF was almost as fun as last year when Ali and I were making fun of our friend for being short. "Short people are so annoying. They make the roads all bumpy." "I hate short people, they always get stuck on the bottom of my shoe." HahahahohwowI'mgonnagetmyselfshot. No really. I love short people. I promise. =)

Me: Hey... you want me to let you go to sleep?
Siv: Nah...
Me: You sure? You sound really tired.
Siv: Yeah. I'll be okay.
Me: Allllright...
Siv: ...
Me: ...
Siv: Yeah so I think I'm gonna go to bed.
Me: What? I asked you just 5 seconds ago if you wanted me to let you go to sleep and you said no and... Siv?
Siv: ...
Me: Siv? Wake up!!
Siv: What? Oh hey sorry. Yeah I'm going to bed. Talk to you tomorrow. Byeee. *click*
Me: What just happened?

I am so smart (part 2): I just finished cleaning up and I was thinking, "Hmm. I'm not gonna wash my hands just yet because I'm lazy and I'll have to do it in a minute when I wash my face and brush my teeth anyway... La la la... My eye itches... *rub rub rub* Owww.... Burning.... Sensation.... Owww." Yeah. Rubbed my eye even though the bottle of bathroom cleaner clearly states, in bold letters, "WARNING: EYE IRRITANT". So now my right eye is red and kinda stings. But hey! At least my bathroom is clean, right? Here's to hoping that I don't lose an eye.

I just used up about half the bottle of soap scum remover but I'm too lazy to go wash it off and clean up. So now the wonderful aroma of surfactants and ether with some lemon scents on top of that are filling up my room. Chemicalicious.

I am so smart: So like I said, I used a lot of this cleaner stuff in my bathroom. And the smell is really strong. So me being the genius that I am, I decide to close off my bathroom so the smell won't go into my bedroom. Of course I didn't turn on the vent so when I went in there just now to clean up I got a nice big wiff of the chemicals so now I think I'm high.

Here's your guide to America for every "FOB" out there. Don't forget 2002's movie previews either.

So I guess I failed to mention that I'm on spring break right? Yeah. Well. Hi. I'm on spring break. But I haven't left good ole Nashville. This has been a first in a long while. Last SB I went to Austin, Texas to visit my brother, the SB before I went to L.A. to visit my best friend, the SB before that I went to Atlanta to visit my aunt and cousin, the SB before that I went to Houston to visit some relatives, the SB before that I went to Chicago to visit some relatives, and I can't remember anything past that. But yeah. This spring break: Staying in. I've been bored out of my mind today though. I did *nothing*. Well, I read. And anyone who knows me knows that I don't read. Like, ever. I just don't have the patience to sit down for a few hours and just... read. I have to be really really really bored. Like, someone poke me with spoons for fun bored. Last summer, when I was in Taiwan, I was bored. I read the Grapes of Wrath in one sitting. I woke up, rolled over and was like, "Hrm. I should read that," and didn't put it down until I was finished. That book was over 600 pages long. And it wasn't even that good. I did that with most of my books in Taiwan. Read one a day cause it was actually something for me to do, and to keep my mind off of being miserable. Anyway. I read today. The book is actually not that bad. And its in Oprah's book club, so I know it has to be good. =)

In other news... David was back last week. ^_^ Leading reason as to why I haven't posted in a while. It was fun. And since I hadn't seen him in ohh... two months, it was definitely a good thing. He's coming back for my prom in April too. Yay! I took my SATs last Saturday. It sucked major ass. Quick way to sum things up:

Friend: How was it?
Me: Horrible. You?
Friend: It was rape.
Me: Butt rape.

Let's see... what else... I've had 3 friends call me from three different beaches...

Them: Hey!! How's Nashville??
Me: Sucks. The weather has been pure shit.
Them: Oh really? That's too bad. It's been beautiful down here. Absolutely goregous. It's been really warm, and I'm working on my tan, and it's been *sooo* much fun. Everyday has just been sunny and wonderful.
Me: I hate you. I hope you get swooped up by a hurricane. How nice.

My mom fed me some strawberries but they're really sour and I'm making funny faces. But aside from that, I guess I've about summed up my past week and a half. Stay tuned for scenes for next week of Diary of Tammy. "You think you know... And you really do."

Happy Birthday to Me

I shopped for almost 5 hours today. Not for me though. I was with another girl shopping for her stuff. I'm beat. My mom took me out for yummy Japanese food tonight though. I love sushi. We saw this guy there who was sitting alone and he had about 7 bottles of beer around the table and a *huge* plate of sushi. There were like, 100 pieces. And he finished most of it. What a cool dude.

"Hey so that was totally a red light you just ran."
"*Turns back* Yeah... I guess it was. Good thing that cop sitting right there didn't see."
"I am never riding in the same car with you. Ever."

So I'm listening to Milli Vinilli's "Girl, You Know It's True" right now. I want to get that hideous dance down so I can teach it to my friend in time for prom. You know, so she can bust out those mad dancing skills in front of everyone. Today was also International Day at our school. I didn't do anything because I am apparently "Too American, not international enough". (That's okay though because a vietnamese friend of mine told me that I could join their country.) But... I could have gone to the middle of the gym, shook my ass to some skanky Chinese pop music and say that it's a "traditional Chinese dance". Hey, that's what all the other countries did, why can't I?! I was still kinda disappointed that I couldn't dance with my friend to "Everybody Loves Kung-Fu Fighting". That would have been glorius.

Lane: "She's got a great mane, vote for Lane. Vote for Lane, the great Dane. Don't be insane, vote for Lane. Ease the pain, vote for Lane. Get out of the rain, vote for Lane."
Nathan: "Don't be hatin', vote for Nathan. Forget bathin', vote for Nathan. Everyone's ravin' about Nathan."
Nan: "Because you can, vote for Nan. Get in the van with Nan. Be a man, vote for Nan. Be a fan of Nan. Get in the frying pan, vote for Nan. Get a tan with Nan."
Me: Okay, do my name.
Nan: "Vote for Tammy... She's cool."

Converation I overheard in class today~

He: "Well guys are suuposed to be the guardians, the protectors, the stronger of the two sexes."
She: "...So why are their balls so sensitive?"
He: "... Yeah! Why are our balls so sensitive?!?"

You know what smells really funky? The smell of roast beef marinated in teriyaki sauce, and then my mom's Estee Lauder perfume on top of that.

I've got cute jammies on! ^_^

I had to go to the dentist today to get my teeth cleaned. I *swear* doctors have different calendars than the rest of us normal people. It couldn't have been half a year already. Uug. But today wasn't as bad as how I remember it. Maybe it's because I got dinosaur floss and two tubes of toothpaste and another toothbrush. I love free stuff. Especially the dino floss. I can still taste the flouride stuff. It's so yuck. And it makes everything I eat for the rest of the night taste like funk. Bleh~

Girl 1: How was your date last night?
Girl 2: It was good...
G1: What did you guys do?
G2: Um... Well.... *Starts sobbing*
G1: Oh my god! What's the matter?! Are you okay, sweetie??
G2: Yeah... Well... I don't know.
G1: What happened?!?
G2: Well... I think I went too far...
G1: What do you mean too far?
G2: *Crying* I think I let him go too far... I feel horrible. And dirty.
G1: OOoooh honey, what went wrong?
G2: Well... you know how usually when I go on a date with him, and when he takes me home, we shake hands before I go in the house, but this time... *Hysterically bawling* I let him kiss my hand! I feel so violated!

Girl 1 is desperately trying to maintain a straight face, cause you know, girl 2 was seriously upset, thinking that she went too far with her date.

This is so cute! The games are adorable!! Especially the Stars and the Panda ones. Even the music is good =) The high scores are unreal though. But who cares? Melikes.

Happy March everyone! So glad it's Friday... Yes. Another weekend full of moping around, unwilling to get off my giant fat ass. Actually. Scratch that. I'm actually gonna be doing something this weekend. I get to go to a wedding tomorrow. At Evergreen. No, that's not some fancy beautiful hotel with a rainforest theme. It's a restaurant. A Chinese buffet restaurant. They're getting married at a Chinese buffet! That. Is so unbelievably romantic. And the dude getting married is like, 72, and he's marrying a 64 year old. Aww yeah. A senior wedding. That's actually really cute. But in a Chinese restaurant? *Sigh*

I was talking to my mom about sushi last night. I haven't eaten any in a really long time and I was telling her that I was craving it. And so today, after school, she suprised me with a box of sushi. Yum yum yum. Except. They had smelt roe in it. For those of you who don't know what that is, it's basically fish eggs. They're itty bitty and orange. But it was piled in my sushi and I was completely grossed out. I never really liked those things but I can deal with it if there's just a little big of it. But there was a ton in mine. Well, I ate one anyway because I was really hungry and all I could taste were the eggs. I thought I was gonna hurl. Worse part is, every now and then, I can still find an egg here and there in my mouth that I haven't swallowed. Eww. I don't know how I can complain about caviar after I ate what I did last night. Pig ears. Yes. You heard right. Pig ears. It was very um.... chewy and cartlidgey. It was good! I promise! (What a sure-fire way to lose all my friends...)

I get to see boy in one week! Yay! =)

Vanessa Carlton - A Thousand Miles is a really good song. She's a great piano player. (Is it pee-AN-ist or PEE-an-ist?) I like this song a lot. Anyway... I think I'm gonna go wander around and mosey through stuff. But... stay tuned until next time...

"It's not a cookie... it's a fig newton. Mmmm... Figs.... "
