*sob* the olypics r ova and the stoopid canadians beat the u.s. women and men in hockey. that just pisses me off cuz mai friend lyssa started to cry when it happened. and then apolo was disqualified from the mens 500m short track speed skating race and i was *really* upset at that. so lyssa and i didnt watch the final race cuz well, apolo wasnt in it. but he was in one otha race, it was a relay.. dun remember how long it was, but he was in it and wow it was confusing to watch. i didnt not get what was goin on, so we just watched when apolo skated. but we lost!! thoes god damned canadians won! we didnt win anything cuz sum dude on our side fell.. i feel bad for him, but im pretty sure he didnt get hurt. during the closing ceremonies, kiss preformed and apolo was in the stands and the camera was showin him and the people who were talkin were like, 'wut do u think apolo?' (like he could hear them ask aquestion.. geeze) and he stuck out his tonuge!! it was so cute! but now the olympics r ova!! wut am i gonna watch on t.v. now besides sponge bob and zim.. wheneva that comes on???

i had a chem test today which i failed... not cuz it was hard, but cuz i felt like i knew the material so well that i bet i didnt really understand it at all. that happened once. it wasnt very fun. and then i had an english test on Hiroshima and sum back ground info on Japan which i think i did ok on. now we hafta do this persuasive essay/research paper thingy on a consumer topic.. fun stuff *sarcasm* i just wrote a persuasive essay/research paper for world geography on the a-bomb and now i gotta write anotha one. i dun wanna. too lazy.

gym was interesting today.. we played volleyball again. i used to really like the sport but now.. not really. it hurts mai arms too much. makes them all red and bruised... maybe thats just me *shrugs* but nehoo, so i served the ball and it was like, sooo close to goin ova the net.. if only it had gone 1cm higher. well nehoo, so then the otha team served and then it was our turn again and david served the ball. he didnt get it ova the net and this dude on the otha team said 'geeze, u serve just as bad as those girls' (meaning me and the only otha girl who served) so the next tym we got to serve i served again and almost hit that dude with the ball.. not like i tried to hit him or nething... *innocent smile*

well, its tym to go eat so ima blog more later, got lots more to say.

Olympics
normally, i dont really watch sports, but when the olypiucs r on, thats all i watch. theyre fun. this one moguls skier, Jeremy Bloom... wow, hes hot and a damn good skier! but i dun think he won ne medals which sux. i was sad, he did sum good jumps, but o well. its so cool watchin people ski like that. they do sum amazing things when they jump.

and then in ice skating, todd eldredge skated to lord of the rings in the mens long program thingy. he did so well!!!!! the seconded i heard the music i screamed and mai umma ran up stairs to see wut was wrong. it was funny. so seein that nofin was wrong and that todd was skatin to lotr, she stayed and watched it too. unfortunatley, i didnt get to see the two russian guys skate. i really wanted to cuz they r the best skaters in the world! really and truly. theyre always fightin for the world title. but in the short program, one of them (im not even gonna atempt to spell out his name, but hes got blonde hair) fell! i felt so bad for him. but he got the silver medal neway so its ok. the other one (again, theres no way ima spell his name correctly) skated perfectly and got the gold. the bronze went to an american, timothy goebel (sumfin like that). hes got a nice smile and hes pretty cute ^^v;; mai daddy didnt think that the russian guy should have gotten the silver medal cuz he fell, but mai daddy doesnt even like figure skating so i dun see why he even cares. *shrugs* weird.

omfg! i watched the mens 1000 meter short track speed skating and apolo anton ohno was tripped and recieved the silver medal when he was gonna get gold!!! i was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo pissed when i saw it happen. ok, so he was first and this japanese guy comes up to try to pass him, but instead he bumps into him. so apolo kinnda manuvers away from him and is still ahead when the japanese guy falls and causes this korean dude to fall who causes apolo and this canadian guy to fall (this all happened a few yards before the finish line). so 4 outta the 5 racers r down and this australian dude who was like, half a lap behind everyone crosses the finish line before everyone! but see, apolo was tryin to stand up and finish but falls again and slides across the finish line followed by the canadian. if apolo had been able to get up he still would have been able to get the gold so it kinnda shows how far in front of the australian guy he was. and he also got a 3cm deep cut on his thigh and he had to get 6 stitches!! the doctor said that he thinks apolo should still be able to race in the otha 3 events hes gonna skate in. he also did a lil interview and said that he was happy he got a medal, even tho it was the silver. he also said that he was happy he got to skate such a good race. so it hes happy with his preformance, then i am too. i cant wait to see him skate more ^^v

ok, gots one question: wut the hell is ice dancing??

oo, more about speed skating. before one of the races, this korean skater... wait, maybe he was japanese.. o well, dun matter. so this hot azn skater was unzippin the top part of his suit and wow he has a *nice* chest and stomach!! i was like O.O take it off! but i didnt say that cuz mai daddy was watchin it too. but wow, that was a fine lookin boi.

i finally watched a full game of ice hockey, u all should be proud of me. mai friend chris was. he said ice hockey was the best... well, its not quite the best thing ive eva seen (speed skating is ^^V) but its fun! the u.s. women r really good! so far, they havent lost ne game ive seen them play. same with the guys. but they did tie with the russians 2-2.

wow, this is gettin super long, so ima go.

la de da de da
today was pretty boring. i had a test in driver ed today which i prolly failed cuz i always fail those test. i mean, i know wut the answer is but i gotta give the book answer which is soo annoying! so i could give the best answer but since its not the *book answer* i get it wrong! and mai teacher wonders why we dont do good on these tests.

then in chemistry we went over this test which i got an 80 on and it brought mai grade down *16* points!! an 80 is not a bad grade so how come it brought mai grade down so much?!?!? im not understanding this! but ill live. and now we're doin stuff with net ionic equations and its not all that hard. just gotta remember to balance all the equations and to remember which substances make a compound soluble in water and which ones dont. its a lot of memerization, but its not that bad.

and in english i had a vocabulary test which i prolly did well on cuz those tests r easy. then we did sum stuff on propaganda and then we got into groups to work on a propaganda project. we hafta convince our teacher to come to our travel agency and go to the country that we r tryin to get her to go to. mai group is doin japan!! this will be fun to do. our agency is called sumo travel agency and our logo is 'think big' hehehe! tomi came up with it, so cute! *pokez tomi*

nehoo, right before math, this guy alan drank a liter of soda in the middle of the hall, it was sooooo funny! and we got to eat sum jolly ranchers (a.k.a. happy farmers) in class cuz mai teacher is so cool like that. and im actually understanding wut we're studying! we jsut finished doin stuff with matrices and i didnt understand that at all. and now we're doin factoring which is sooo easy! so at least im not gonna fail ne tests ^^V;; and the hottie in mai class talked to me again!!! hes sooooo damn hot! and i get to see him 2morrow too!!! ^_____________________^ hes in mai 6th and 7th period classes so i see him at the end of the day which is the only reason i go to skool... well besides seein mai friends.

i have a playin test in orchestra 2morrow and i dun feel ready for it. i know the music and i know i can play it well cuz mai private teacher says i do and she neva gives compliments like that, so i dunno why im so nervous. maybe its the fact that i *hate* playin infront of people? hm.. no that cant be it. hehehe o well.

i was talkin to mai friend mindy on IM and we were havin this big discussion on religions and how one of her friends thinks that if sumone is not wuteva their religion is then they will go to hell. i was like, wow, guess ima be goin to hell then beig as im jewish. oo! i gots anotha story!! *watches everyone sit down on carpet in front of her chair* i gave mai friend a dreidle cuz he wanted to learn how to play wif it and he was showin it to sumone in his spanish class and his teacher wanted to meet me cuz i gave it to him. so i went to go see her and she was like, 'im jewish too!' then she said that there was anotha jewish teacher in the skool and she asked if i knew him and i was like 'nooo i didnt know thaaat,' and she said, 'o, well he knows u.' and then i got skeered and was just kinnda smiled and nodded then left.

well thats all for now. hopefully mai email has decided to work again cuz it was bein dumb for a while. it just wouldnt load mai inbox for sum reason. quite annoying.

Happy Email Kaori Day part 2
ok, to xplain the title, the otha day some strange person emailed me and it wasnt a virus or nething cuz it was just someone asking about their friends classes or sumfin like that. then one of their friends emailed them back (i guess they hit reply all cuz i got the email too) and told them their classes and i was like.. o wow, thats great.

last nite the music departement at mai skool had a concert. it was soo good! the orchestra went first and we played a hell of a lot better than we played last year. everyone who went to the concert said that. im soo happy we sound so good! i think its cuz we have a different orchestra director this year cuz our director last year was a bitch who hated just about everyone, didnt put any effort into the orchestra, didnt know how to conduct all that well, and hated me with a passion. but newho, when people asked who we added onto the orchestra that made us sound so much better we all said 'mr. casey' (our director). we were so good!! *jumps up and down*

after we played the band played and they were incredible! they played for 30 minutes straight! the piece was called The Divine Comedy, like the book by Dante. i mean, the way they played u really felt as if u were in hell/pugatory (sp???)/heaven and then even sang!! they had some fantastic solos and when they were 'in hell' they lighting was a redish color and when they 'got to heaven' it was more yellow-gold in color. it was amazing. im buying a copy of the concert just to see them preform again.

the chorus on the other hand... while they were greay singers, this one girl walked out during her solo! she started the first word of her solo fine but it was like she blanked out and just walked off stage! i have a feeling the chorus teacher is gonna make the next few days for her a living hell. but i think if the teacher wasnt so hard on her students, and didnt say 'u have to do this perfectly' and all that otha stuff she wouldnt have walked out. but otha than that they did really well.

a few days ago mai bestest friend in the whole wide world called!! i havent talked to her in 5 years and i might be able to go and visit her over the summer!!! but mai parents dunno if they want me to go... i think they should let me go... we only got to talk for 3 hours which was not enuff tym. but if i get to see her ova the summer itll all be good. ima go now cuz i dun really have nething else to say ^^V;;

Happy email Kaori day!!
sorry for the total lack of bloging, ive been busy and really tired. lesse... on friday and saturday i had an MUN conference and i got to represent China! it was great fun. i wanna do it again! i went to fairfax high skool for the conference, and i must say its really run down and ugly. its this nasty shade of brown, BUT its skool colors are red and blue!! tonhyuk colors!! woooO! and during the actual conference i got 3 whole notes passed to me from other countries! cuz when other delagates are talking ur not allowed to talk so u gotta pass notes, and i got 3!! i was so happy! and i even got to help write a resolution paper. it was so much fun, mai only regret is not talking all that much.

then after the conference i had a viola lesson which went pretty well. i got some new music to work on with mai privit teacher and its very pretty. but it changes from the viola cleff to the violin cleff so i gotta play mai viola like a violin and its extremely confusing. but the music is beautiful nonetheless. it just takes me a while to get used to reading in the violin cleff all over again. *sigh* but ima get it! i really will!

and sunday i got to talk to mai bestest friend in the whole wide world! but ima blog bout that laterz cuz mai daddy needs the puter T_T

going back to me being out of it, i didnt notice that the hottie from mai alg II/trig class (who actually started a conversation with me the other day ^______^) is in mai world geography class too! thats another reason to look forward to the end of the day. i have a/t 6th period (which is mai last class on even days) and goegraphy 7th period so i get to see him every day!!!!! *a very happy Kaori*

i finally typed mai english essay, now all i hafta do is make a works cited page, make note cards, memorize the speech and do the visual.. all be tuesday! plus i gotta do some big chem project by tuesday too. *sigh* i really hate skool work. and feeling like im drugged doesnt help at all.

i got to turn in mai muslim project in geog. today, but compared to eveyone elses, it sucked. some people built mosques (i just made a poster ^^V) and this one girl made it out of cand and this guy ate it during class. he was allowed to, so its not like he got in trouble, but it was such a big mosque! it was soo fun to watch him eat it cuz everything was held together by marshmallow goo and he got all sticky... if it had been Jay (the hottie) who had gotten all sticky i wouldnt gladly licked and sucked all teh marshmallow goo off his fingers ^^V;; yeah well, im gonna go to bed now cuz maybe if i get lotsa sleep ill be more awake 2morrow, and not feel drugged.

Alone
weeeeeeee! i got Junie's CD today!! its really good. but when he sang Persia Black Hole i started to get all teary eyed cuz it made me think of when he sang it during the H.O.T 2001 concert in February (i believe). i dunno, im just weird like that, but ya know, i dont cry... newho, i cant wait till Hyukie, Tony, and Wonie release their CD cuz ima buy that one too ^^V ima have all of their CDs. i figure if i cant support H.O.T as a whole, i might as well support each individual (group) that was once part of mai favorite band.

im soooo tired! its not a man-i-wanna-go-to-sleep kind of tired, its more of an im-physicaly-and-mentaly-tired. mai bodies tired of going here and there, first a viola lesson, then temple, and im mentaly tired from all the research for skool and the things i do for mai rabbi for confirmation. i dunno, i just need a day off from life. a day to just sleep and to not worry about when this essay is due, when mai conference is, when i need to bring this project to skool, when mai concert is. *sigh*

*hugs and pokes Tomi* hope 2morrow goes by better than today went!! yeah, just wanted to tell ya that. uhg, im so exhausted that i had no idea what was going on in any of mai classes today or what was going on during mai MUN meeting... but i guess having this guy talk nonstop about stuff that doesnt apply to mai topic for the conference didnt help either. *shrug* but whateva. hopefully ill be more with it 2morrow. but ima go to sleep now, cant go on!

Ratatuie
ok, about the title, thats what i had for dinner tonight. it was yuuuuuuummy! ratatuie is like a vegetable stew cuz i dun eat meat and everyone were having meat so i got some yummy ratatuie. mai grandparents were here this weekend which was why i didnt blog. not only that but i had to do so much research for lots of different things. for world geography i had an islam poster to do so i had to find examples of islamic art, for english i had to find info and pictures of the Talmud for an essay/speech, and for MUN i had to research China's views on alternative fuel sources and land management. i got mai islam poster and mai MUN stuff dun!! i was so happy i finished it all. but now i gotta work on mai essay, but i need to do more researching cuz i need more info.

mai weekend was really boring cuz all i did was research, but on saturday i had a Havdalah service/dinner at mai rabbi's house... she prepared for us a very Jewish dinner. everything there was kosher and it was a dairy meal, so obviously there was no meat products in any of the foods. then after we ate we went into her HUGE kitchen (mai rabbi has an enormous house! i mean, its 5 tyms as big as a regular ol' house!) to see what a kosher kitchen looks like. she had two sets of dishes, cooking utensiles, silverwear, and even coffee pots! that was pretty interesting.

but before i went to her house for dinner and Havdalah, i had a viola lesson!! mai second viola lesson! mai private lesson teacher had me work on a 3 octive G Major scale. i had to shift like, 5 tyms! i couldnt even get mai hand to wrap around the instrument i was up so high. i hate shifting. then right after mai lesson mai umma took me to get mai hair cut. i was just gonna get a trim, but then i decided to cut it. it went from being mid-back length to being above mai shoulders. it looks pretty good. its layered in the back and angled in the front, but since mai hair is soooo curly, u cant really tell its all that. but the guy who cut mai hair was really weird. he was the same guy who cut mai hair from when it was just about at mai waist to mai shoulders in 7th grade (so thats 3 years ago) and he said "Wooo! i get to cut ur hair and i can use mai big sheeres!!" yeah, i was pretty skeered of that. and when he finished cuting it and stuff he jumped for joy cuz it "looks so good!!!" yeah, needless to say Kaori was quite skeered.

and then today at 8am i had to go to mai confirmation class (the rabbi teaches that class) and we talked about sex in the Torah. we went over all the parts in the Torah that we were never taught in Sunday skool when we were little. it was... interesting. and lotsa people say there was no homosexuality in the Bible, well, in Genesis chapter 20 (i think) there was homosexuality so i dunno what all those people r talking about. i think it was during the story about Sodom and Gamorah, but it was way too early for me to register all that info. yeah, way too early.

neway, i really dun feel like going to skool 2morrow, i dun feel like i had a weekend to rest or nething like that. *pouts* i still havent even looked for a pic for mai layout!!! i was gonna do that this weekend but noooo i had to do all thoes projects. grrrr! stoopid skool work.

Happy IM Kaori day!
today was sorta blah. nofin too exciting happened. in english we did some research again... and Tomi and i had a long conversation again. i think doing "research" in english is the most fun thing in the world! hehehe.. yeeeah, newho. i got mai interum and i did so much better than i thought i would have done. i got all A's except for a B+ in world geography. i swear i was gonna get a C or somfin in French cuz i thought i did really bad on this Chapter 1 test... and all the other quizzes but apparently i did a whole lot better than i thought!

gym was quite interesting today. when i showed mai friend Jenifer mai interum and told her i thought i was gonna fail French she was like, "How can u think ur gonna fail when u end up with an A? I mean, how do u pull *that* off? R u God (i have no idea where she came up with that, but its all good) or somfin?" and of course i had to play along with it and was like, "Yeah im God!" and she said, "Well, that explains it all." so we went out to the tennis courts and i missed the ball Jen was like "Oh my! God missed the ball!" i think it would be funnier if u had been there. then we kinnda stopped playing and mai friend Jess started talking to us and they were all like, "Ur so smart, and blah de blah de blah," and i said somfin like i wasnt that smart and Jen said, "O shut up God!" again, if u were actually there, it wouldve been funnier.

chemistry was blah, nofin happened in there thats worth talking about and then came english, then alg.II/trig. i live for that class. i absolutely hate math, but i sit diagonally in front of this hottie!!! ive known him since middle skool, we werent actually friends, but he was in mai orchestra class for a year, and he got REALLY HOT! o wow, hes one good looking guy! and hes azn so it makes it even better ^___^ his name is Jay and hes on the football team and looks really good in a suit ^^V that would be the only reason i like that class, besides the point that its mai last class of the day. the worst part of the class, besides the work, is this guy Allen cuz he is one of those guys who thinks hes soooo funny and cool and its like, "no, dont even try, ur not cool and no one likes u." and he always talks to this kid Kenny who rides Maki's bus and, as she knows, is a total loser and the one good point about Allen is that he doesnt like Kenny either and he always makes fun of him ^^V

but today Kenny and Allen were being overly stoopid and were yelling out "Osama bin Laden!" all through class and i was sooo close to smacking them both. arrgg! they were reeeeally getting on mai nerves. i mean, what was the point of yelling bin Laden's name? isnt that what the guy wants? more publicity (thats what mai teacher said, im just... stealing what she said)? well newho, they were being stoopid and finally stopped after being yelled at.

about the title, yesterday and today were IM Kaori day cuz all these people started IMing me and asking me if i knew this person named Ameena and two of them asked if i *was* ameena! when i told them i wasnt her they were like, "r u sure?" i was like "...*sweatdrops* no, im not sure if im her or not" *sigh* stoopid people. but hopefully they got the message that she gave them the wrong sn! and if one more person askes of i know/am her, ill scream.

i got mai H.O.T. tape yesterday! it only took the girl a month to send it to me. but she did give me some pretty nice free stuff like 2 mag pages, a sticker sheet, 2 small pics, planner inserts, a postcard, and a really sexy wallet size pic of Taya (BTW: HAPPY B-DAY TAYYYYYA!!!!). im almost done watching the tape and its really cute so far. i should be getting Junie's cd soon ^_____^ wooohoooo! cant wait! well, i best go, i got some mad researching to do for english, geography, and model UN. plus i gotta memorize mai lines in mai French skit. -_-;; i dun wanna!

Class ring
as you can see from the title im getting mai class ring!! i ordered it earlier this evening and its gonna be so pretty ^_^. its gonna have mai birthstone (a blue sahpire) in a round-cut top, the ring will be white gold with and antique finish. and then on one side it has this pic of strings cuz i play in the orchestra and above the pic the word viola is gonna be engraved and on the otha side itll have a pic of a dragon and above that kaori will be engraved cuz its an 'asian dragon' and i dun wanna have mai name engraved on it cuz itll be engraved on the inside of the ring.

nofin really exciting happened today. in gym i attempted to play tennis but it was kinnda hard to run after the ball when i can only run on half mai left foot T.T mai toe *still* hurts and its been a week since i jammed it. grrr it needs to stop hurting. mai friend evan is always makeing fun of me cuz i still have a little limp. its really annoying. *sigh* stoopid door for being in mai way and going and jamming mai little toe.

but at least i got to go to orchestra next. i love mai orchestra class cuz theyre all so funny and mai director is really good at directing and teaching us the music. he has to do a lot of one-to-one stuff with me cuz i switched over from violin to viola and i gotta relearn how to read music cuz the two instruments are in different cleffs. newho, we have a concert in two weeks and we get to play that song from the debeeres (sp???) commercial. ya know, the one where u see the ppls shadows but u *see* the diamond ring. and im so proud of the way we sound, its just like in the 'mercial!! we sound sooo much better this year than we did last year cuz we had this bitch of a director last year who didnt know how to teach us music, didnt know how to direct, and didnt know how to get a group of people who have never played together (mai school was brand new last year) to combined into one orchestra. and plus, she hated me with a passion. the woman thought i had a serious attitude problem, and anyone who knows me knows that i never give adults or teachers any kind of attitude. but whateva, shes gone now ^___^

in french we had to start memorizing these skit/verbals that we hafta present on friday and mai group is not ready. im the only person who actually wrote down the script we came up with and no one else seems to care about it. i had better not get a bad grade on this or im gonna be one pissed off girl. and then in world goegraphy we watched a video and played catch-up cuz we had a sub yesterday who had the thickest southern accent ive ever heard here in virginia. i cant stand southern accents which is why i plan to move up north when i can. i consider virginia to be a very southern state and most people dont.. but thats just too bad for all of them. i dunno why southern accents get on mai nerves so much but they do!

I GET MAI CLASS RING SOOOOOOON!!!(like in the spring but hey! thats... kinnda soon)

Fun stuff
today was actually pretty fun considering i had skool. in p.e. i got to bounce a big bouncy ball since i cant do anything else cuz of mai stoopid toe. unfortunately i gotta dress out tomorrow T.T i dun wanna!! but mai gym teacher is always having me walk around doing stuff and im like "hello! do u *see* the bruised toe?? do u *see* that the bruise covers half mai foot?* do u *see* me limping? do u *know* how much it hurts to walk on this foot?" well obviously he doesnt see all that, or he just likes to see me suffer. grrrr. but after that mai day got better.

in chemistry we sang this song about atoms that went to the tune of "the addams family." it was cute. i dun remember the verses but the chorus went "they r so small *snap sanp* theyre round like a ball *snap snap* theyre in the air, theyre everywhere, cant see them at all *snap snap*"... if it got u out of doing class work im sure ud think it was cute too. as u can see mai chemistry teacher is a freak.

then in english we went to the puter lab to do some research for this expostitory essay/speech thingy we gotta do and hitomi and i were typing messages to each other in word processor, so we got lotsa research done... heh heh. that was fun. we had a whole convo for like, half an hour and our teacher (if she noticed) didnt care. so now i gotta do some mad researching. but not tonight! i gotta go to temple and teach little 4th graders the hebrew alphabet. fun fun fun *did u hear the sarcasm?*

in the class i help teach theres this kid who looks *just* like tony from H.O.T!!! but his name is brian and wheneva i talk to him or sumfin hes always like, "why do u keep calling me tony?" ^^V;;;; well i gotsta go eat sumfin cuz i gotta leave in an hour and im a sssslllloooowww eater.

Hiya
wooo! I have a blog! I was thinking about getting one for a little while now and i finally got one. Its plain right now but hopefully Maki will be able to make me a pretty layout... maybe i should ask her.

Anyway, in orchestra today i had a playing test on the viola and i did really well on it. i think mai grade was a 97 or sumfin like. I was really surprised i did that well cuz i just switched from violin to viola and mai grade on this test was better then the grade i got when i was still playing the violin. I dunno, i just find that to be weird. i did better playing an instrument I've only been playing for a week then i did playing an instrument I've been playing for 4 years! Well... at least i thought it was weird. Then of course I had a French test and I *know* i didn't do so well on that one. I think mai grade for that test is going to be sunfin around a 42... if I'm lucky. Normally I find French tests to be easy, but this one was super-duper hard.

Ok, that's all I can really blog about cuz today was kinnda boring. But now I gotta go take some advil cuz mai toe hurts! I all ran into a door last week and somehow the door went in between mai little toe and the one next to it and the little one when under the door and it's all bruised now. Uhg, so painful. So I'm gonna take mai advil now.
