Subject:Regions = Horrible
Security:Public
Mood: blah

mmm...I was hoping to do much better at Regions than I did in All-State, but that didn't happen.

Oh well.

I started off doing scales, which went fine, and saw Mr. Stefank there. STefank was the person who ushered people into the scale room and made sure they knew what they were doing. Then I waited in line for an hour and a half to do my solo. An hour and a half in a long line of people, where we couldn't play at all or make any noise. That meant I couldn't tune my violin when it went out of tune 3 times, so I resorted to plucking my strings and tuning it that way (which is definitely not an accurate way of tuning). That also meant that I couldn't make sure my violin wasn't dying on me in the constantly changing temperature of the hallway. Soooo, by the time I got into the solo room, right when I put my bow on the string, it started to get this screechy sound (that equals not good). I was so dissapointed beacuse I knew I could have done so much better had it not been for the screechy noise, and I hated the fact that I couldn't tell the judges what happened. Anyway, I went out of there thinking 'there goes 50% of my audition grade, and there goes my chances of making it into top 5 again'. Sigh, well, there's always next year I guess.

Wow. I haven't written anything here in ages. I've just been too busy too bother about writing in LJ.

It's rather odd, I haven't felt like eating anything for the past few days and I have been unusually tired. Maybe it's because of the lousy weather we've been having; it's either been extremely cloudy and sunless or it's been raining. I despise weather like that, it makes me feel so dismal and bored. Or perhaps it's because I'm getting sick. I'm not so sure about the latter because I've never gotten sick like this before and I most likely don't have a cold. I really have no clue about why I'm feeling like this.

I watched the greatest movie on Saturday night. I'm shocked that I even got the time to watch it, but I did. It's definitely one of my most favorite movies; not in the sense that it is an enjoyable-to-watch type of movie, but it is definitely a favorite in my thought-provoking category kind of movie. For anyone who wants to know, the movie's called Far From Heaven. Go rent it or borrow it from the library and watch it if you have time. The beginning was quite slow and strange, but towards the end I ended up liking it a lot. It definitely got me thinking about how much society has changed in a good way and also how little it has changed as well.

While we're on the topic of thought-provoking movies. Go borrow or buy the book Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. I just love her books. It took me a while to get through it though.

I really need to go run some more miles. Ever since the time cross-country was over, I haven't done much running save some miles in gym (which only amounts to 2-2.5 miles). During cross country season we were running, say, 4-5 miles daily and now I run like 4-7 miles a week. I feel so lazy and un-exercised.

Junior year has been rather hectic and eventful, I must say. Both English and History have been rather pointless classes, but at least I'm reading the book for both the classes and actually remembering what we read in english because Dr.P spends the entire block discussing one poem. I rather like having him as an English teacher because I'm actually learning how to understand poetry and read into those short readings in the text book. Spanish has been the usual spanish and Tech is the usual Tech. AP bio and Calc II have proven to be classes that I rather enjoy, despite the fact that Calc II is quite hard. AP chem...hmm...his tests are horrible, well at least for me they are. I dislike the way he times them because in doing so, I feel so much more limited and my mind ends up wondering how much more time we have left to take the test.

I need to redo my LJ, or maybe I'll leave it like this and be boring. It's much easier and faster to load and to read than my original design.

This entry has been rather verbose and lengthy. Sorry that I put you through reading this, whoever that does. I'll make you my special delicious brownies to whoever that does :P My life is just so exciting and interesting.

Subject:Quiz Time!
Security:Public
Mood: energetic



I'm the lai, with no sort
Of grave, solemn thought,
And I
Will never be caught
By miseries sought,
Nor sigh;
Where battles are fought
Or arguments brought,
I fly.
What Poetry Form Are You?

Subject:Updated Version of Una Poema =P
Security:Public
Mood: accomplished

A silhouette formed,
looming over
the burning bauble as
the metamorphosis of
a crystal chandelier began.

While the hourglass turned,
a hoary cocoon
was spun in its wake,
shepherded by
the film of grime shrouding
its once
immaculate form.

Two parting leaves
stranded its fruition
until a stray gust
wafted them away,
And the gleam of kismet
that shone from its mirrors
rose, not fell,
exceeding the pillars
that scraped its prison
with their bare hands.

It pierced through the
soft enfold and
emerged across
ragged slopes that serrated
the wounded rag.

With cries that came undulating,
pulsating its husk
endearing it to return
and slumber within a
veiled cosseting,
the burning bauble
assented its rightful throne.

Subject:Una Poema
Security:Public
Mood: sleepy

Hmmm...I wonder if anyone would understand this or if this was all babble.

As twilight loomed,
the pale crescent
mounted beyond the falling
skies.

It gripped the light
that shone from mirrors.
Rose, not fell, and
exceeded the pillars
that scraped the dark
with their bare hands.

It rambled across
hills and valleys
And rolled across the
cavernous waves,
Only to come back and
fall beneath
the chasm once again.

I've decided to turn this journal into a writing journal. At least, for most of the time, with the only exceptions being my need to rant or perhaps fun quizzes =).

So here is some stuff to start it off. It's unfinished though...hmm I'll finish it later =)

I wonder why life goes on,
Is there a meaning to all this?
And if there is, what would it be
A single thread amiss?

I wonder why life goes on,
When differences are so copious.
When lives are changed…
The populace no longer pious.

I wonder why life goes on,
Perhaps it’s for the better.
One day our lives will change,
And our thoughts slightly altered.
