deception

looking up at the sky.
the stars
littering the
heavens.



my thoughts:

so far away.
pretty lights
twinkling away.
sparkling.
the glitter
of the galaxies.

when you get closer.
big, burning
orbs of fury.
inviting things in
with their shine.
and then?
they burn.

so,
in a nutshell.
stars.
inviting
from a distance.
dangerous
up close.

hmm.
comparable
to some
people.




there was really no point to this poem... i just felt kinda bored :P

Should I see a doctor...?

Ok, so, for the past couple of days, I've had this really small scab on my knee. When I first saw it, I didn't recall getting hurt, but I didn't think much of it because I bump into stuff and get scrapes quite often without noticing it. I'm a bit of a klutz :P

But this morning, I woke up, and saw that it had swollen a bit, and had a yellow tinge that indicated pus.

Don't continue reading if you're faint-hearted or have a weak constitution...





Mk, you've been warned.
So my mom called the doctor, and the doctor said that I should wash my hands with hot water and soap, and then try to squeeze the area and drain the pus.
EWWW. *Gag*
But anyway. I had to ignore my disgusted feelings, and did what the doctor ordered. In the process though, the scab came loose, and when I picked it off (again, doctor's orders: if it comes loose, take it off and stick a band-aid on it) a thorn literally (__) that long came out with it.
I'm pretty sure it was a rose-thorn...
But that's besides the point. So like I said, this huge rose thorn came out of my knee. It was really scary, cause it's not like it was protruding out of my knee before. The scab was completely flat on my skin, which means the thorn was deeply embedded in my knee. *Shudder.*
So I looked at the place where the thorn came out of, and there was a ditch the size of a ballpoint pen tip.
I freaked out, started looking for disinfectants... but hydrogen peroxide and neosporin both said "Do not use on... deep or puncture wound" which is EXACTLY what mine was.
So, I had to console myself with a bandaid.

It's aching less now, so I'm hoping it's getting better.
Either way, it's off to the clinic with me first thing tomorrow morning ;D

Don't wanna risk losing a limb to a thorn.



"X" (11:14:33 PM): id like my nida with all her limbs please

Can't disappoint my friends, now can I?

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Hope you had a fabulous, fun-and-FOOD-filled day :D

Disney's Retarded Sequels

Okay, so, seriously, Disney has got to stop with the screwed up sequels.



"Mulan" was fabulous. She was strong, fierce, determined, and she held her own among an army of guys in imperial China.
"Mulan II?" Not so much. It was girly and lovey far beyond my level of tolerance, even for a Disney movie.

"The Lion King." My absolute favorite Disney animated classic. My dad and I have watched it together a countless number of times, and we never get sick of it. Apparently, (although I was too young to remember this), I went to see it with my dad and cousins at the drive-in *back when the still had those* when it first came out.
"The Lion King II." Not as bad as some of the other sequels, I'll admit, but still pretty pointless. They just had to make it all lovey and ruin a good thing, didn't they?



Need I go on? Actually, I think I should. Two examples are not nearly enough.

But I'm sleepy, so too bad :P


More to come later!

I think I'm in the mood for some self-analysis.

So I'll go take one of those cheesy online ones...

Back in a sec.





..........................


Introspective
Sensitive
Reflective

You come to grips more frequently and thoroughly with yourself and your environment than do most people. You detest superficiality; you'd rather be alone than have to suffer through small talk. But your relationships with your friends are highly intensive, which gives you the inner tranquility and harmony that you need in order to feel good. You do not mind being alone for extended periods of time; you rarely become bored.

........................... That was fun :D

And parts of it totally hit me spot on.

"...you'd rather be alone than have to suffer through small talk." Totally me. I'd rather sit at home and read or watch a movie than go to a party where none of my uber-close friends are going to be. If the only people there are going to be people who I'll have to make awkward (for me, at least) small talk with, I'd opt to stay home.

"...your relationships with your friends are highly intensive, which gives you the inner tranquility and harmony that you need in order to feel good." Again, totally me. The only time I can completely let go and be myself is with my really close friends.

"You do not mind being alone for extended periods of time; you rarely become bored." Could it get any more exact? I'll say it again: totally me. While I love the company of friends and family, I need and want alone time. It's one of the reasons I love long drives that last through the night, and just lying in bed, awake, thinking. I love being alone in the dark with my thoughts, free to reflect on the different happenings during my day. I usually have so much going on in my mind, it gives me a chance to get it all straight and make sense of the jumble that is my thoughts.

"Introspective Sensitive Reflective." Yep. That's me. You can probably already tell that I'm fairly reflective and introspective (judging by that last paragraph). I'm also uber-sensitive. I can be brought to tears by pretty much anything. I take criticism badly. I find it hard to shrug off a rude comment made towards me; it pretty much ruins the rest of my day.

Hmm... enough self-analysis for tonight. I think I'm in the mood for a nap.

Later ;D

OMG!!

OMG I'm so excited. I'm sitting here waiting for 11:30 to come around, so I can finally allow myself to get ready and head over to Bella Terra w/my friends to see Twilight!
I'm desperately trying to pass the time, doing everything from straightening my hair, vacuuming my room, trying on all the pairs of earrings I have (don't ask... I don't even understand why), and now blogging about my restlessness.

You know what? In an effort to pass the time, I'm going to tell all of you non-Twilight readers (it's shocking that so many of you still exist :P) about the wonderful miracle that is the Twilight Saga.

*Spoiler Warning*

Ok, I gave you a fair warning. Now I will spoil away to my heart's content.

The first installment, "Twilight" tells the story of Bella Swan who moves from Tuscon, Arizona, where she lived with her mom, to Forks, WA to live with her father, Charlie Swan. Forks is the exact opposite of her home in Tuscon. It's rainy, wet, and sunless most of the year. Bella initially dislikes it, but things start turning around when she sees the Cullens sitting in the high school cafeteria.

OMG! ITS 11:20!! I can't contain myself any longer. I'm gonna go get ready. Who cares if I'm a little early?

*Don't worry. I'll finish this later on, when I'm less restless ;]*



15 MINUTES!!




Movie review coming up later tonight or tomorrow ;]

My Birthday :D

Today was totally great, thanks to my amazing friends and family <3

Just reveling in the moment, and felt like sharing :D

This weekend's off to a fabulous start :D
*No sarcasm intended*

Like, seriously.

I went to a youth lecture w/my friends after school, and the speaker was totally inspirational. He put me in such a... revolutionary mood :P I felt like going out then and there to save the world. Just pin a red "S" on my chest and call Supergirl! :]

Then we went to the Coffee Bean, where I had absolutely amazing coffee. Definitely try the Banana Caramel or Blended Hazelnut. Like heaven for your tastebuds :D

And then I went home, and my parents decided we were going out for dinner. So we went to this Thai place, which turned out to be reeeally good, and I ate to my heart's content :P

Then we headed to Blockbuster for a "family movie" (we ended up getting "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation") and they were having this amazing clearance sale thing, so I convinced my dad to buy me "27 Dresses" and "Penelope," both of which I'd been meaning to buy forever.

After that, we went back home, spread out tons of blankets and pillows in the family room, and watched "Christmas Vacation" until like, 12-ish.

All in all, a fabulous day :D



But now I have to sit here and do my hw.
Not so fab :\
