sometimes, the littlest things can make my day.



today, there were lots of these.

stuck at home minus friday.

new moon was the event of my weekend. i have to say, it was a terrible movie, but i loved it for certain reasons. i feel like kathy nguyen's twin right now. it's like i'm copying her in everything and she's copying me in everything else. we talked about how she freaked out when taylor lautner appeared on screen and how that was exactly like my tom felton fangirl moments during hp6. taylor lautner is like the megan fox for girls. ohmygoddd. he's amazing. except for his nose. we decided that edward cullen is pasty. and extremely hairy (shouldn't it be the other way around?). i was really happy when that guy from sweeney todd showed up too.
i even got to show liam my car this weekend. we went to wegmans & watched part of x-men at my house. and he ate a huge bowl of spaghetti + bread and finished a chipotle burrito afterwards. thats gross.
after rei + 20 minutes of line, the seats we wanted were "saved" by some retarded little bitch who wanted to reserve the entire row. we should've sat down anyways. next time something like that happens, i'll ignore the person and sit down anyways. it reminds me of the time when i almost got into a fight with this girl at a atl concert. asdjkl; just thinking about that makes me kinda pissed off. the trailers were dead boring except for the 1st one. later, ben told me that he wanted to see that other movie with robert pattinson in it (the other superboring trailer). ben & liam were totally into the movie... it was really funny. except there were these really annoying girls sitting behind us who kept on commenting throughout the movie. even the guys beside me were annoyed. ah. the guys beside us were super cute, and it was kinda funny since they both went to see new moon alone (aka w/out any girls). i'm pretty sure they weren't gay because one of them whispered "ohmygod.. she's sooo hot" when bella was on screen.

other kindanotreally interesting things this weekend: i washed my car for the very first time. got my swine flu vaccine. bought a cute lunch bag/box thing.

unrequited.

Unrequited: "un⋅re⋅quit⋅ed  /ˌʌnrɪˈkwaɪtɪd/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [uhn-ri-kwahy-tid]
–adjective 1.not returned or reciprocated: unrequited love.
2.not avenged or retaliated: an unrequited wrong.
3.not repaid or satisfied."

unrequited sounds like such a sad word. an unrequited crush. well, i guess it can't be that bad since you have have an unrequited wrong. is requited a word? i might just go look it up after this.
if an unrequited crush feels bad, then how does unrequited love feel? i wouldn't know, since i've never been in love. what are the chances really of meeting that one person who actually loves you back? apparently, not very slim if you look at all of the married couples in the world. i've actually given this a lot of thought. are my parents in love? or do they just love each other? maybe it's an asian thing, or maybe it's just my family.

i guess i had a lot of time today to think about things. sitting in the library for a couple hours waiting for my dad gave me lots of free time which i spend doing nothing. i've realized that i get annoyed a lot the littlest things. pet peeves maybe? but some of these things are bigger than just pet peeves:

-people who never take me seriously. it's okay when we're both joking around, but honestly, i hate it so much when people think i'm stupid. or when they doubt my reasoning or answers when i clearly have done all of the freaking work and they obviously don't know what they're talking about. & when i say stop, i mean it. i'm actually talking about two people in particular, and some of my friends have heard these rants. i guess it applies to my brother too, except he doesn't count since he's family.

-clocks that tick, and digital clocks that blink.

-people who think they're better than me if they're smarter. i don't care if you got a 40/40 on the last test or have a 99.9% in some class or if you've read the encyclopedia. know-it-alls are like ajksdls.

-constant "subtle" braggarts. it's like those off-hand comments. not blatently bragging, but the constant subtleness kill me. like they're pretending to be all casual, but you know that they really just want to tell you all about when they met george washington or hooked up with 100 guys. you know what. i don't care.

wow, that made me sound like an angry person, but whatever. just felt like maybe listing all that stuff would help me vent? i should do physics now.

cised.

I went to the nissan dealership today to test drive an altima. it was absolutely wonderful, especially since they got the car all the way from delaware just for me. the color & handling was amazing, and we're probably getting the premium package, which includes a bose sound system, a rearview moniter, and a moonroof. amazing.
what wasn't amazing was the salesperson. she knew her stuff, but she didn't seem very enthusiastic. The honda salsesperson from a few weeks ago was so nice. charismatic is more like it. he called today when my dad wasnt home. the conversation went something like this.

-hi! is your dad home?
-nope.
-oh okay. i was wondering if you guys were still interested in buying the the accord coupe. did you test drive the altima yet?
-actually, i did that today.
-so.... did you like it?
-um, yeah. kinda. i like the color better than that of the accord...
-oh. okay. alright. have you decided on the car?
-uhhh, i guess it's really up to my dad to decide on the car.
-oh. oh. alright then.

I FELT SO BAD. he sounded so disappointed that my heart went out to him a little. i tried to reassure myself that he's probably sold a whole lot of cars already, and that one car won't really matter that much. even though he was very nice and informative, i guess what i'm looking for in a car doesn't relate to the salesperson.

i need someone to persuade me that
a) one car to a car dealer doesn't matter that much, especially if its a honda salesperson and that a lot more people will buy cars from him.
b) the altima is a whole lot better

i just called my dad to talk about it. he was like "awww ivy, you're so sweet. but really, it's reality. you can't make everyone happy. this car matters more to you than it does to the salesperson. and many people look at different car options and test drive a lot of them."

caffeine today: one cup of coffee

silly people & school

yesterday, i had a airplane race with will, and somehow my plane ended up on the roof. i guess that's good thing, because mr. kemp actually gave us extra credit for it. i wonder if he got our plane back. we spent way too much effort on that just to have it blown away or eaten by an owl or something.

i dont know if i should do powderpuff. i could make the practice tomorrow, but i can't do any of the non-8th period ones. next wednesday is also a disaster since i have to go to fbla, and then possibly some sort of calc/phys tutoring. my calc tutor is coming over tomorrow. hopefully he'll help me understand everything. i got a 54% on my last test, which is worse than what daniel got. and he's switching to AB. it makes me kind of worried.

nearly the entire junior class had to stay afterschool today because of the nhs ceremony. it was totally pointless, aside from the apush review session i went to, the walk to starbucks/five guys with friends, and the food. i had this whole conversation with sabrina during the actual ceremony about silly people and how they make me happy. sabrina, now that i think about it, the answer to that one question you asked is yes. not when i actually wrote it, but it's true now. at least at this second i'm fickle.

caffeine: gingerbread latte.
