I would have liked to blog about a nice peaceful Friday evening at home, but however, I cannot. Due to the fact that I am too nice for my own good and was dragged to the school “fall” dance by Caroline. If you are having images of pretty girls in gowns and guys in dashing tuxedos, just stop. It will disappoint you far too much from the description I am about to give. 
When Caroline and I first arrived, we were oh so shocked to find that we were the first two eager young beavers to be welcomed into the gloomy cafeteria that looked even more ridiculous with the plastic fish taped on some of the walls. By instinct I suppose, we went to a corner of the room and complained to each other about the outdated music and bad taste of decoration. Soon, Andrew and Nick joined in our little sad group. The latter also was dragged by Caroline to come to the dance.
Now here comes the entertaining part of the night. I have known Andrew for about two days, his first impression was pretty good- I knew him as the innocent blond kid that sat in front of me in geometry. How wrong I was to assume that. Just some advice to all of you out there, never judge a person by their looks. Give yourself some time to find out how deeply corrupted they are. That way, you won’t fall over in surprise when you see your friend doing something that you would never expect he or she to do. For instance, hmm, leading a girl on when he clearly had no interest for her. Tsk tsk Andrew, I am so disappointed in you. Oh how Caroline and I laughed, as we watched from afar, at a couple of sophomores who started taking interest in the innocent looking freshman. :T
Site Wise
Once again, the site will be going under a complete revamp from about 2:00pm central time tomorrow until hopefully 8:00pm on Sunday. I will try and hurry up the process! Please be patient with me if you can’t access the site for a day or two. If you need to reach me at all for any reason, you may u2u me via the MB.

I have a tendency to skip breakfast in the mornings, I know through hours of lecturing in class of how unhealthy it is, but I never seem to have the time. Until today.
There wasn’t much of a choice as to what I could eat in the mornings, so I just grabbed a sweet roll and inhaled it. Following it up with a coke that was nice and cold from the fridge. Needless to say that this extra dose of sugar and caffeine made me jittery as I ran out the door to catch the bus.
Nothing exciting happened for about 3 and a half periods, in other words, until I got to orchestra- probably my most laid off class. I am currently sitting in the back row of the cello section, which means I get an absolutely spectacular view of the heads of the people in front of me. Still on my little sugar high, I started scrutinizing the different shapes of heads that I saw. In the midst of the deep concentration I was in, I suddenly realized that I’ve never seen a perfectly round head before. And this cracked me up. I’m not sure why… it just did. (Blame the sugar if you must.) So there I was, silently laughing and shaking slightly until my face, I assume, turned red. Although only Ashley and a few other people noticed, so that was a relief.
Now is the time to bring another one of my friends into the light. I’ve known her for about 2 years now, since seventh grade. Her name is Lisa and I love her to death. :happy: Lisa and I have a funny little joke between the two of us, it all started one day when I was complaining to her of how I could literally trip on cue. Today she decided to test me, just when I was telling her I was having one of those klutzy days. While we were walking towards 5th period, she suddenly sticks out her foot in front of me and says “trip”. I was at the time, holding a pile of binders and textbooks so I didn’t see her move her leg. Thinking it was just a tease, I was taken completely by surprise and almost bumped into the sophomore that was walking in front of us. Well, Lisa, what did you really expect me to do?
Site wise-
I’ve added some color schemes to help those who are at a graphics block. These are some of my favorite color selections that I think are pretty spiffy. I’ll be adding more later today! You can view all of the available schemes here.

Caution: This will be a pretty boring blog for those who love to read about the misfortunes and miseries of others.
Practically my whole day has been oriented around two events, one, the orchestra picnic and two, going to the mall with my buddy Sydney. Since I usually tend to spend Saturdays alone and work on the site, it was a refreshing change.
Around 9:00, I woke up (wow! early) and started putting up the new layout to the site- which I think I’m going to tear down soon and renovate later today- this took me about 2-3 hours. Which brought me to the tedious task of making rice krispie treats to bring to the picnic. The only thing I hated about making the treats was that I sort of got my elbow in some of the marshmallows. And that burned, a lot… and was nearly impossible to get off my skin fast enough. (Since we all know that marshmallows are basically made up of sugar.) Hot sugar burning your skin is no laughing matter.
Then, later on around 2:00 or so, I met up with Yasi and we walked to CVS where Ham and Syd were waiting. We all walked happily enough, me complaining the whole way about how the sun was killing me, to the picnic site at Arbor Hills. There I met up with some of the other friends, who looked 100 times better than I felt, suffering from heatstroke and dehydration.
The agenda of the picnic involved around the Amazing Race event we all had to participate in. Sadly though, the teams were already predetermined… but I was with Ham and Krisite, so it was all cool in the end. :happy: The first thing our team had to do was the Red Light, Green Light Race. While linking arms. I feel sorry for my teammates, if it wasn’t for my dead weight dragging them down, we could have won. Next off was the Sponge Race, we had to transfer water from one bucket to another using sponges. Again, I hindered my group’s chance of victory, having accidentally added water to another team’s bucket. Stupid move, I know. After being cooled down by the water, we ran across the parking lot to the Three Legged Race. No need to mention that I destroyed any slim chance of winning here. I just feel sorry for Ham, who was the partner that I kept dragging down when I fell, onto sharp sticks and rocks of all sorts. The last chance I had to redeem myself was with the Potato Sack Race- although we used heavy duty (I assume) garbage bags. I won’t even say how much I screwed up on this one… I’m going to just let bygones be bygones.
My team didn’t even bother with the Charades, we just plopped down on the benches in the pavilion and watched the other groups make funny gestures. That was the planned part of the picnic.
After resting up and drinking half a bottle of water, I finally noticed that most of the people who showed up weren’t around. So I went over to the field to see what was up. Emily, along with a few other sophomores and freshmen were in the midst of a water fight… lovely. I was optimistic enough at that time, only expecting the occasional wet sponge thrown my way. But no, most of the drenched people seemed determined to get the dry people, me, wet and in their state of hypothermia. About 3 or 4 minutes of standing around and chatting, I felt someone standing behind me. When I turned around, I was facing a cooler full of water which was in the process of being turned over on my head.
I was no longer the happy Roo everyone knew, I had turned to my evil-revenge-seeking mode.
Yeah, it was war. 
Now thinking back, I may have taken it too seriously, but hey, I’m one of those types that get even. I suppose that back in first grade, I never got the message that “two wrongs don’t make a right” or something similar to that effect. For the more water I doused on other people, the more drenched I got. So maybe I shall have to take my revenge on a few individuals in another way? I will start scheming and post later about my results- hopefully luck will be on my side. (Insert evil laugh here.)
So far my list consists of-
- David
- Yasi
- Derek
All in all, I had a blast at the picnic. So, officers, that was a job well done… although next time, don’t do the Potato Sack Race downhill. :annoyed:
My lovely day continued with my trip to the North Park Mall with Syd. Our goal- well, I’m not exactly sure what it was yet. We didn’t really buy too much today, most of my money was spent at Hollister, since Syd has a nice eye for clothing. She is my little saint when it comes to shopping, having an almost endless supply of patience. Unlike past trips with some other people. The ones who think it’s funny to yell “STALKER!” whilst hiding in stores when I lag behind.

Sorry for this terribly long blog, I suppose it makes up for all the days I don’t have enough time to write about my oh so interesting life.
Anyways, look forward to several new stock illustrations this week! I promised to have them up weeks ago, and I’m finally going to force myself to get the task done. Also, a new layout should be coming soon, and it will be fabulous.

I know most of you out there would agree with me in saying that first impressions are very important. Personally, the first impression I get of a person can end in two scenarios.
- That is one awesome dude. :happy:
- Ew. Get away.
Recently however, it’s been ending in scenario #2. Some people just can’t keep their mouths shut and their business to themselves. Two of the most hated qualities in my book. Basically, you’ve just ruined my image of you and I will hold that over your head like a guillotine for the rest of your life. Although I make exception, sometimes… but rarely.
Sorry for the short blog, but I find the need to ramble about my life sometimes, just to get it all out in the open. A new site layout is in the process of being coded and validated, so hopefully it will be up this weekend.
Edit I will also be finally finishing those requests that’s been sort of sitting around.

Today, my two lovely friends Ishita and Caroline came over to work on a project. Somehow during the day, someone brought up a subject that eventually lead to our preferences in fruit. Yeah, we had nothing better to do.
Here’s the list we came up for me.
- The fruit has to be sweet, but not too sweet, a perfect amount so that I won’t gag after eating a large quantity.
- The fruit has to be pretty hard on the outside, but nice and happy on the inside.
- The fruit has to have substance (filling?) This is why I hate coconuts. You spend all that time cracking it open with a hammer and what does it leave you? Nothing, only a few bits of bland meat.
- And lastly, it has to be strong, for instance, if I ever needed to defend myself, my fruit will be a handy weapon.
With all of that in consideration, I decided that my choice fruit are cantaloupes. (So sorry, honeydew.) Have you ever thought about your preference of fruits?
Meanwhile, I am on a major graphics block, so the new layout probably won’t come until next week. But I will be building up content while brainstorming. :happy: Also, once again, please join the new CyanideMB!
