It's been a fun weekend. My friend Lauren spent the night at my house yesterday. And since neither of us had curfews since our moms were out of town, we vowed to stay out as late as possible. So we met up with a couple of our buddies, drove around, went to a suckass party for the "elite", drove around some more, and ended up going home at midnight because there's nothing to do in Nashville. That's okay though because we were tired. I somehow didn't end up going to bed until 4 in the morning, so I don't really know what happened there. Today, we made pancakes and then went to see a play at TPAC for extra credit. Well, sorta, but we won't go there.

So. I'm gonna be staying at a friend's house this week so feel free to break into our home. I will probably be posting every now and then from her house... Hopefully we won't strangle each other by the time this week is over =) But... I guess we will find out... Woo!

Today, my mom and I went shopping. She ended up getting me very nice stuff. She spoils me =) Anyway, so mommy is going out of town tomorrow for an entire week. So basically I'm inviting everyone to come break into my apartment and steal everything we have. Enjoy!

I was putting laundry away when we got home and I decided to color-coordinate my closet. And I did... Yes, I am just that big of a dork. But hey, at least my closet is neat!

I used listerine mouthwash tonight after I brushed my teeth and almost cried because that stuff stung so bad. I think I killed my tastebuds. =(

So that was my Friday. Nothing too exciting... I might be spending the night out tomorrow with a good friend though, so all is well. So like um, like, totally have a like, great weekend.

My fly was down for two hours today after lunch. No one cared to tell me. But anyway, Friday Five time!

1. What are your favorite ways to relax and unwind? Cuddle up with my big stuffed dog under my comfy blankets and take a long nap while listening to yummy music. I also like to sit around on my fat ass with a big bag of chips and some OJ and watch mindless hours of TV. Or take a long bubble bath with lots of candles. Or swimming.

2. What do you do the moment you get home from work/school/errands? Get on the computer because I am cool like that. Then I usually mope around until it is 10 at night before I start on my homework.

3. What are your favorite aromatherapeutic smells? I like citrusy smells. You know, cause they are citrusy.

4. Do you feel more relaxed with a group of friends or hanging out by yourself? Depends on what mood I'm in, I guess. I like chillin' with friends for the most part, but sometimes I need some me time, you know?

5. What is something that you feel is relaxing but most people don't? Dancing around to bad 80's music. Or staring at my blue christmas lights.

These kitties make me think twice about the cuteness of kitties. *Shudder* Oh, and this little optical illusion is probably one of the best that I've ever seen. I didn't believe it at first, but if you cover all of the other boxes, you will see that it's true. Nifty, indeed.

I ate my rank today. Lettme explain: Our counselor had finally gotten our class ranks sorted out and all that jazz and everyone had been talking about it all day. After the countless, "What's your rank, Tammy?" I finally decided to go look. Every senior's name and rank was on a small strip of paper, and after a good 5 minutes trying to find my name amongst a heap of shredded paper, I come to find out that it's not that great. I mean, I really shouldn't be complaning because it's not that bad, but I just felt like all the hard work that I had done to try to pull up my grades after I fucked up freshman year was all a waste of time and effort. I *really* wanted to be in the top 10, and I know that makes me sound all high-strung and snobby, and I'm sorry, but I did. I worked my butt off last year to pull up those grades, but freshman year at a private school left permanent damages to my GPA. I wanted to just give up, and quit everything. So out of a moment of frustration, I ate the small strip of paper. I ate my rank.

When I got in the car after school, I had a emotional breakdown. I don't know what happened, but I think I've just been frustrated by school, friends, my mom, life lately and just didn't really realize it. I'm just tired of everything. I want to take a break from it all and go to a deserted island and not worry about anything for a while. That would be ideal, but I'm stuck here. I don't know what I want to do and I don't know if there even *is* anything that I would want to do. And of course, there's my mom constantly nagging me about college, and a career, and what I want to do for the rest of my life, and... AHH. I'm 17, immature, whiney, and goddamnit I want live like a teenager until I'm not a teenager anymore. And my mom is making just a wee bit hard for me to be happy right now. That amongst other things...

Random sidenote: NYU has sent me *a lot* of stuff. I get something from them literally just about every other day. So... is that just me, or is it happening to you too?

I've got to study and maybe that will take my mind off of things for a while... Hopefully I will be in better spirits tomorrow.

And if you were dying to know what my rank really was, I barely made it in the top 20. So, like I said, I really shouldn't be complaining, but you know how it goes...

It's Tuesday! And you know what that means? The Season primere of Friends, Will and Grace, and ER will be in two days! That's so orgasmically great that I wouldn't even know what to do with myself. Only problem though, CSI will be on at 9 on CBS, which would conflict with my Will and Grace. My mom is obsessed with those police investigation shows, I don't know what it is. I would totally fight my mom for the remote... So... I guess we'll see what happens in two days.

Before I finish my homework, what type of Asian are you, my friend? I must say, that I am quite Fobulous myself. Though I wouldn't say that I am "fluent" in English or Mandarin, but that's really okay. Nor am I a good dancer... So maybe I'm just a Fobabee? I sure do wish that I was a Fobsta though. ^_^

Oh, and SkirtMan creeps me out to no end.

I think I've spoiled you all with incredibly fun absurd links... But that's okay cause you love me, right?

Inappropriate usage of an Anatomy term: "Tammy, you keratinize me."

So yeah, I made the most adorable South Park character last night. They should put it on the show... But anyway, it's lots-o-fun. Make one!

*Sigh* I miss him...

I watched the original Japanese version of The Ring this past summer in Taiwan. It was quite possibly the scariest movie I have ever seen... And if you had no clue what was going on, it wouldn't be scary, cause there really wasn't any creepy music or graphics, or anything like that. There were not a lot of special effects and blood and gore. But that movie screws with your mind. It fucked me up for a good week because I would be going to bed and start thinking about it, and I would not be able to sleep. It seriously freaked me out. And there are pleanty of other people who would agree with me. There are two other "Rings" that follow the first to describe the events that happened to lead to what happened in the first Ring. And supposedly, the other two are creepier than the first.

So, the American Dreamworks has decided to do their own little version of the movie... Now, I'm thinking that it's probably gonna suck a whole bunch of ass cause it is going to be Hollywoodized. And the Japanese version was so... not. It was simple, and... not a huge big production. But I'm scared that the US is going to mess up the movie and its meaning. So when people who haven't seen the orginial, see it the American version, they are probably going to think, "Oh, it was okay." And then if they see the original, they will think it blows. But it doesn't! It's good. And scary! I just don't see why they don't release the Japanese one here in the states... I'm just hoping that the American version is good.

But! This little animation here ranks pretty high up with the dancing gay Spiderman. I'm definitely liking it even though I am totally jealous of his mad dancing skills.

And for those of you who like Jay Chou, this is adorable.

I am going to bed soon... and it's not even 10 yet! On a Sunday night! Amazing ^_^ So I guess my 3-day weekend comes to a halt now...

Thing I've noticed about me: My hair grows really fast. Now, despite the two inches that were cut off this past summer in Taiwan, it is literally 8 1/2 inches longer since last summer when I cut it to chin length. It has also grow over an inch since I took my senior pictures almost two months ago. Now, if my head would just grow *more* hair, you know, so I don't go bald.

I shot a milipede-lookin' bug off my ceiling tonight before I brushed my teeth with a rubber band on my third try. I was proud of me. Granted, I screamed like a 5 year old when it fell on the floor near my feet but that's beside the point...

A friend and I went out tonight. We went to a nearby pizza place and there was a guy with a guitar and microphone (and Heather, no turntables) who sang on the porch. He was really good, so friend and I kept shouting out songs from people for him to play: Red Hot Chili Peppers, Dave, Ben Harper, Tom Petty, John Mayer, U2, Radiohead, etc. She and I vowed to be his groupies but we had to go. We came back to my house and watched Kids, which was a disturbing yet somewhat realistic movie. I liked the way it was done. But. It's definitely not a movie that you'd watch with the parents... unless... you are into that sorta thing. :::Shudders:::

I have watched 4 movies so far this weekend: 40 Days and 40 Nights was terrible... mostly boy humor. Panic Room wasn't all that great, kinda lame. My friend Carla and I realized that we have had a little too much AP English last year when we started analyzing the movie, and trying to pick out all of the ironies, symbols, and all of those good ole elements of figurative language. We are big nerds. Umm... Amelie, like I said in the previous post, was wonderful. And Kids was depessing but pretty good. I still really want the Monster's Inc. DVD... and I'm waiting for Lion King to release theirs. ^_^

Radiohead - Exit Music is a good song. As is Paranoid Android.

I actually have church bright and early tomorrow morning... So I guess that means I should be going off to bed soon... So, until next time... "STAY OFF THE MOLDY CHEESE!!!"

Fun on a Friday night...

Seeing stuff like this makes me oh-so-proud to be an American.

Oh, and you can't call it a night unless you have an interesting animation of Sam's kitty...

You see, people in third world countries or perilous countries such as Isreal, are suffering every single day. People have no food, no shelter, no familes. And us lazy Americans have the time and the luxury to make such immature yet amusing little animations on their computers. Sad, isn't it?

Cutest thing I've heard in a long time: My friend Gaby's dog, Freckles, really likes to watch animal movies. We were watching Ace Ventura: Pet Detective on Gaby's fancy flat screen TV, and there was a scene with a small puppy in it. Freckles walks right in front of the TV, barks once, and plops down right in front of it. She watched for about 5 more minutes after the puppy scene before barking again and waddling off. Gaby tells me that Freckles' favorite movie is Homeward Bound.

Oh, and Amelie is a great and beautiful movie. I want to look like the main actress. Anyway, watch it sometime.

I actually remembered on time! The Friday Five, baby, yeah!

1. Would you say that you're good at keeping in touch with people? For the most part, yes. But it has to be a two-way thing. If the other person stops keeping in touch, then I tend to also.

2. Which communication method do you usually prefer/use: e-mail, telephone, snail mail, blog comments, or meeting in person? Why? Depends on the person... Sometimes, it's easier and more comfortable talking to someone on the phone. But there are some people that aren't phone people, and I'd rather talk to them online. I like talking to people in person for the most part as long as it's not awkward.

3. Do you have an instant messenger program? How many? Why/why not? How often do you use it? Why, yes, I do. And as many of you would know, I am signed on to AOL *all the time*. I also have AIM, which rocks my socks because AOL is an atrocity..

4. Do most of your close friends live nearby or far away? Both...

5. Are you an "out of sight, out of mind" person, or do you believe that "distance makes the heart grow fonder"? Mmm... I don't know. Depends on the person I guess... I tend to have the "distance makes the heart grow fonder" state of mind... but don't really know anymore.

So I guess that's about it for today... It was fun last night at friend's house, even though we were all really tired. My favorite part though? It's still Friday. =)

"I wish I could swim in an ocean of boobies." - Molly, after watching 40 Days and 40 Nights (which, by the way, was a horrible movie).

Yay it's almost Thursday! And it is super special because we have a 3-day weekend, which is something that I really really need. It's been a tiring week and I plan on sleeping in everday for all three days. So if anyone calls me before noon and wakes me up, I will unleash all hell.

Just a forewarning: I probably won't be posting tomorrow, I'm going to be spending the night at a friends house. Now that I think about it, I have not done that in a really long time... Hrm... So anyway, hope you all have a dandy Thursday. *Muah*

Just so everyone knows... I really want the Monsters Inc. DVD. Spoil me? ^_~

I watched Push, Nevada tonight with my mom. It seems pretty interesting, and I liked the first episode. They play good music. Plus, Ben Affleck is the producer/writer/creator of the show, so it's gotta be good, right?
