Yay for random entries out of nowhere at 3:50 in the morning!

I need to go to bed...i hate waking up past 9.

So how is everyone?

Hey guys I'm on again for once in a rare blue moon. And I am here to ask you guys for money~! No, really. Prom is coming up and I don't have a dress ;A; and I need one! So i need money to buy one. So please go to my dA journal: http://tinyurl.com/cv99yj and look at the prices and help me out if you can at all. Thanks!

I'm kinda posting again. I've been thinking about coming back to lj, because it seems to be the popular thing to do. I need to start exploring this website moar. I've also been thinking about changing accounts, because I totally hate my name nowadays and go by icebomb everywhere. So I'll think about it, even though Kelynn is really my only friend that I talk to on lj.

HELLO KELYNN I LOVE YOU.

I love overcast weather <3. It always assures in a nice chilly day and no scorching Arizona sun.
Which I'm sick on, btw xD.

Ah, my trip to Vegas was awesome! It was my best vacation there ever (exept for the part that my dad stayed at home for some reason). We drove up on thursday around 5AM and got there around 10 and they were all like "Daylight savings!" and I was like, "what? No!" and I was confused all weekend. We stayed at my uncle Marty's house (my uncle Tim and my mom were fighting ATM so we didn't stay at his house) and we ate Thanksgiving dinner there, and i finished playing STINKING PHOENIX WRIGHT <3. ahahahaha I was so happy I was dancing everywhere and I called Kiva and we excalimed joyous cheers of victory. Now Cecalie needs to buy me the first one :[.

Then on Friday, I didn't go shopping :>. I've never gone shopping on Black Friday. My mom did last year for once though.

But I did get to drive a car for the first time~.

The rest of the crew (my uncle Marty, his three kids, my bro and sis and my cousin Liteah [from uncle Tim's] and some dude and his kid from new york all went quadding without me and my mom because there wern't enough quads and spaces on the dune buggies. They were gunna come back to get us later, but in the meantime we needed to go to Walgreens. And my mom asked if I wanted to drive. And I was all like "YEAH <3" and she let me drive the rental car around the neighborhood a little bit and then she made me switch so she could drive on the main roads and go to Walgreens. AND NOW I WANT MY PERMIT SO BAAAAAAD D: .
And then when we came back we went quadding. It was wonderful.

Later that day my family and Liteah went to the strip. The first thing we did was go on the New York New York Manhattan Express roller coaster. IT WAS THE BOMB. Me and Liteah got front row, and we were so exited because neither of us had been on a roller coaster in forever and we were just stoked and going crazy up there. And it was all swirly and fast and amazing :heart: .
We then walked (AND ON THE WAY I SAW THIS AMAZING GIANT PSP ON A BUILDING) down to the water fountain thing (I forget the hotel name) and went and saw the fountain light show, which was totally cool and stuff.
Then we went to Coca-Cola and M&M's world. I really had no interest there, so my mom let me and Liteah go to Gameworks (which was underground right between the two) And we had fun and DDR'd and played Time Crisis and a bunch of other games. One of my favorites there was this virtual Jump rope game by namco and I played it so much. it even had hot pepper and double dutch xD. GOD I LOVE YOU NAMCO.
And then we went home.

The next day we pretty much chilled, and we went and saw Enchanted, and then we went home.

BUT OH GOD IT WAS SO MUCH FUN. I wish we had actual money so we could have stayed in a hotel for a week and experience the whole thing instead of just a few, but it was still amazing~.

Yeah. I applied a week ago. and I got a letter TODAY saying that they didn't need me *cries* I applied at As you wish and turned in the app on sunday, so I don't know about that, and a while ago I turned in an app at an asian store but i don't know the outcome of that because they said they'd keep it untill i can actually work, which is NOW. and my mom' s always nagging at me about getting a job.
Oh god, my mom. Cecalie knows all about my woes from my mom. She's being so ridiculous these days, just because I have an opinion. I'll keep it short, but here's an example of one situation:

"Tori, do you have any charge on your cell phone?"
"uh, yeah, like half"
"oh, well, you should turn it off at night."
"I don't really need to."
"Well you should, because it saves battery life so it's not dead tommorrow morning"
"My phone keeps alot of energy mom. It doesn't deplete it like your RAZR. And besides, I like to check the time in the middle of the night, or see if I get a text."
"I do NOT like your attitude, Tori. You're lucky I'm letting you go over to your friends house. Maybe I should just take you home right now."

And yeah, that's pretty much how every conversation's been with her these days.
I stinking can't wait till I'm 18.

Um, on the good side of life, we owned at the State marching band competition : D. We got Superior, which is almost the top ranking (next to Superior with Distinction) and we were the only band that got all the captions. Our ranking was 72.3 of division III, which is stinking high. We beat the second highest marching band by 11 points. We're not sure why we didn't get distinction, our band director is going to talk to them about that. but as far as we all know, we pretty much deserved it.
But now marching band's over. Which means I can sleep more than 5 hours a night. But now it also means that I have nothing to look forward to school. And I just got back like two tests today. I totally failed both of them. My life ain't looking too goood....

Oh, and on sunday night, I spent the night at Cecalie's house. it was uber fun. We ate candy and played Phoenix Wright on our DS's. And I made a bunch of Mii's on her Wii because I don't have a wii ;A;. I want one. But I need to get money. Which is why I applied for a job at Target. WHICH BRINGS ME BACK TO MY DILEMMA.

ahahah.

You know, that one, where you only have one life, and it can take up to 100 years to complete it, and sometimes the outcome is completely different than what you wanted, and you can't alter it unless you have gratuitous wads of cash that are near impossible to get?

Yeah, that one.

School is going downhill. I just can't pay attention in these classes. It's not that these teachers are bad (well, maybe my English teacher. She's a jerk) It's just that they're curriculum is totally flip flopped from what I was used to the past two years, and now I'm near failing every single academic class I have. The art class sucks. bug time. I hate all of these stupid projects. All the crap we're doing is stuff I did in my Visual Arts Foundations class. And Marching band, the one ok thing that made me want to come to school, Is going to be over this Saturday for the rest of the year. (unless the football team wins this game on Friday). I'll have Jazz Band to look forward to next semester, but that's not nearly as much fun as marching band.
And so my grades are horrible. And I want to be a pilot when I get out of high school. These two factors just don't seem to be adding up.

ohhohohh, and next year, marching band won't even be that enjoyable, because Kat (the fangirl that worships the very ground I walk on) is joining marching band next year. in Pit. MY SECTION. WHERE I MAY BE SECTION LEADER. And everyone in band hates her guts because she is immature and loud and annoying and has anger issues. And they all know that I associate with her because I'm trying to be nice because I hate giving bad impressions on people. So now people in band are going to blame me for bringing her into band and making next year a total nightmare.

IT'S GOIN DOWN THE TUUUBES

I might get a job at Target though. Money would really be nice right now.

DEATH NOTE COMES OUT ON ADULT SWIM TONIGHT


AND I CAN'T WATCH IT.



;;;;;;A;;;;;;;



So does anyone want to record it for me? :heart:

Tori is posting in her Livejournal again D: shocking, no?
I seem to always do this right after I go to Kelynn's house because she's always on it. I don't think I'll ever totally figure out how to work it though. And lol, don't have high hopes that I'm gunna stay on Lj. maybe. I'm just kinda bored right now.
Anyways, Monday I went over to Kelynn's house and we had fun. I wanted to watch the Death Note movies again, but Sydney stole them so we couldn't. So instead, we watched like, all of the Harry Potter movies. 2,3, and 4, at least. I saw the first one ever ago and I remember the basic story plot, and the fifth one hasn't come out on video yet. But it was fun~.

Oh, and appearrantly Jesus Chapel (a bookstore by my house that I used to work at. I got fired in July)is going out of buisiness. They just learned last Saturday, and they're closing this Saturday. Kinda sad, I used to order alot of music and manga through there because they give discounts in their store. NOW I MUST PAY FULL PRICE DDDDD: . Or just stop byuing things. But yeah, It's kinda sad.

UGH, THIS BREAK IS GOING BY TOO FAST. WHY IS IT ALREADY WEDNESDAY.

it needs to be two weeks.

Well, earlier tonight I went to this college information thing in Columbus, Ohio. It was very informational, and I liked it alot. There's a chance that I'll get a scholarship to go to their 3 week summer program to see what it's like. And that would be awesome.
Then, dad took me to this little Japanese shushi bar called Doozo and Oh my Gosh...the sushi was AWESOME. Best I've ever had. My favorite was the Eel and the Muscles.

Oh, and I got a new CD. The band's called Ace Troubleshooter (theyre broken up now) but the lead singer is now the bassist in Relient K. It's pretty awesome. they sound kinda like Green Day, exept better IMO.

TORI'S ACTUALLY ON LIVEJOURNAL!?!?!? POSTING!?!?!?

As Naruto says, BELIEVE IT. *shot for sounding otaku-ish*

Yeah, for some reason. I felt like updating ^^; dunno why. I havn't been here in...I cant remember how long.So I guess I'll tell you a few things that has happened in the period I've been MIA.

1. I turned 16 on the 19th. WOOO I AM LEGAL IN THE UK. TOO BAD I LIVE IN ARIZONA THOUGH >(. I'll have to go visit some friends over in England eventually, but I don't know when.

2. I went to the comicon last weekend. it was sweet. I bought a Kisuke Urahara hat (from Bleach, another thing, I've become a huge Bleach fan), A Knuckles Plushie, the Sonic Adventure 2 Battle Soundtrack, And something else I think. I can't remember. But it was amazing, I got to meet Crispin Freeman. And a few other people. And there were some pretty cool cosplayers (I'll try to upload some photos) And I cosplayed as an Animal Crossings character on Friday and Saturday. I didn't Cosplay on sunday and there was this other adorable Animal Crossings cosplayer that was ten ties better than mine. Oh well. I'll try to make a good costume next time.

Uh, other than that, my old mp3 player broke so i have to use a cheap one, I'm doing terrible in school, And...uh, yeah ^^.

but i cant stand it anymore. i dont feel like anyone cares anymore. no one seems to want to talk to me, theyre all just busy with theyre own lives, and i feel like im just sitting here missing out on what everyone else is doing. I'm feeling like I'm trying too hard, drawing pictures for whom i care about just to get comments from them, just to make sure that they still know i exist. Chris barely even achnowledges me anymore, and he treats the rest of his friends awesome, like i'm just an aquaintance,a nd i'm his freaking girlfriend. even my friends in real life. it feels like i'm just sitting int he background just listening to their happy conversations and inside jokes as i just sit there not knowing what's going on.

Is there something about me that nobody likes? i think i'm a pretty decent person, i'm usually happy, and i dont put other people down. I'm not asking to be in the center of attention, i just want acknowledgement. do you know how happy I'd be if Chris IMed me first? it would absolutely make my day. and that counts with anyone else. no one IMs me. I have to IM them, and i have to keep the conversation stimulated or else they wont talk to me.
It's just not fair. all i want is for someone to say something to me, acknowledge me somehow.

and i know that half of the people wont even comment on this journal, theyre gunna think "oh well." she'll get over it in a few hours" but this has been bugging me forever like a flesh eating bug.

yes. it's our "fall break." we get today, and monday off. isn't that fantabulous? and then it's time for the second quarter.

Last weekend my cousin stephanie got married. it was an extremely short wedding, maybe about ten minutes. I'm used to long weddings that are at least a half ghour. but anyways, after that, there was awesome food, and then stephanie threw the boquet, and i caught it :D but i doubt I'm actually gunna be the next to get married. I'm still pretty young.

mom made me upload songs on her iPod nano. i want an iPod really bad, or a Zen Creative, or something. i've got this little crappy 512 MB That used to be my moms but she never used it so i use it. but the 'add volume' button doesnt even work so if i make the volume lower i cant make it go back up. and another thing, i can only have like, 100 songs on it, and i have waaaaaaaaaaay over that.

and today i'm finishing putting all of my music on the computer (i only have like, 5 CD's on it) and my newest switchfoot CD wont upload. later i'm going to go to atomic comics to buy a sonic comic and pocky, then i'm going to Superstition Springs Mall, where I'll meet my friend Kizzy, and then i'll spend the night at her house and stuff. it will be fun.

i never post any more, do i?

well, a few things have happened. i went to animefest at atomic comics on friday,and i won the cosplay for best air guitar.
on saturday i turned in my bothers bike to the bike shop cuz it needed to be fixed, then i went to Hollywood video and rented Kingom Hearts (i've become a KH fiend now). Then i went to Jesus Chapel and bought an OC Supertones CD. it rocks.
On sunday i went to church. that was pretty much it.
then today i baked lemon squares. a few pieces got burnt, and some of the egg didnt mix in and i had to pick it out, but they tasted ok.
and i just got back from guitar lessongs. i finally got back into them, after like, six months.

though it sucks, cuz i have this project in drawing due on friday, that i had to spend 20 hours on, for honors credit, and i dont think i can get that done. and i have to finish some crap for biology tonight. and i really, really, dont want to. but school sucks like that. Ah well. the first quarter is already almost over, maybe the second wont be so bad.

Well first kelynn was supposed to bring a CD player and a hat for me, but she stayed home sick. so i go through my stupid wednesday, having to take every single class instead of odd classes or even classes. then theres lunch, and i hang out with my friends. then comes geometry, and i realize, "hey..my hat is gone" so after the period is over i go to our eating spot, and my hat isn't there. so i'm like "great." it was one of my favorite hats. so i go through the rest of the day, and then i walk a half a mile to my bus stop. the bus is almost there, so i go to get my wallet and...my wallet wasn't there. and i'm 5 miles away from home, and i call home, and only my younger siblings are home, mom's at work, and i call dad and he's at work, but he said he could pick me up in an hour. so i walk all the way back to school, and i wait for him forever.
Then, when i get home, my mom starts yelling at me at how stupid i was to lose my wallet, and she keeps asking me if i left it with anyone, and i left it with lauren so now she thinks that lauren stole it, even though i know that lauren would never do such a thing, she has no reason to.
and then she yells at me that if she goes and tears my room apart and she finds my wallet, i'm not going to Kelyn's birthday party this friday. Well i search for it, even though i know it's not at my house, and i show her, that it's not anywhere in my room and that i dont know where it is. and so now she's al suspicious of lauren, and she's just plain angry that i lost my wallet, because that has EVERYTHING in it, like a two year bus card, a credit card, my ID, and a bunch of gift stuff that, added together, equal over $200.
Isn't my life great?

Yeah. "sick." i really didn't feel like going to school. but the day was nto wasted. i did alot of art stuff that i really needed to finish but normally wouldnt have the time to. so yeah. it was a good work day.

I'm writing in my lj so kelynn will stop yelling at me so there. D:

Yes. ok, me and Sara ( ) got there and we waited for a while. then the starter band, Evolocity, played for about a half hour, and in that half hour, the lead singer asked us to raise our "rawk fists" so we did, and i used my left hand. he pointed me out and said "your the only left-handed rawk fist. go over to the merch stand and get a prize. i dont know what she's getting, "he said to the crowd" I i just want to make her feel pointed out and stupid." i laughed. and i got a little poster, but i didn't really like it, so i gave i to to sara, and she left it there. but what's cool is that at the end of the half our, the guitarist of Evolocity reached out and gave me his guitar pick. and i was like, "cool."
Then another band, Shallowpoint, played. they were a little more popular than Evolocity, so there were more people rockin' and stuff. they were pretty cool, and at the end of their half hour the guitarist/back vocalist shook a few of our hands, including mine.
Then TFK came up, and oh my gosh, it was completely awesome. I don't exactly remember all the songs they played, but i do know they were amazing. people were moshing and stuff, and we were right up at the front. no i'm serious, right up front, as it half-the-sweat-wasn't-ours front. yeah, trevor (lead singer) would every now and then would shake his sweat upon us. And then there was this really wierd ackward silence sorta, so i looked at the guitarist (I cant remember his name) and said 'hiiii!" and he said hi back. it was pretty sweet. But i was suprised at how cool the crowd was being. they wern't trying to grad at Trevor or anything, they were just rockin out to the music. I felt sorry for these little preppies, cuz they were like IN the moshpit and wer all scared and confused and stuff XD. Oh, and at the end of the concert Trevor threw his sweat towel at me and Sara and we fought over it, but i let her have it since she's a bigger fan, and i got the guitar pick.
Oh, and afterwards we went to the bathroom, and we saw trevor and steve right by it, and i got my sock signed by those two. Yep, It was pretty awesome.

oh yeah, and sorry for not posting in like, ever.

I'm actually posting a journal. yipee.

well, half of the summer's over. Soon I'll have to go up to Show Low to Council at my church's camp for a week.

And disneyland got delayed untill fall >=o. it sucks. We would have been going next week, but parents want to save beter money and all, so yeah.

and then come august 15, school time.

Yup. I'm at my cousins house right now. Later on today we get to go to The Strip, and go do stuff. But I come back on Sunday, sadly. So yeah.

Thursday night we celebrated my friend Santos' b-day. It was pretty fun. there were three gay guys, and we played truth or dare. twas very fun.

So yeah. I'm in Las Vegas. yip yip yureee!
