And goodnight! Tomorrow I''m off to a Communist country where I shall no doubt be thrown in front of a rickshaw by the most dreaded Beekbeast, after which my brains will be scooped up either by the aforementioned Beeks, who will stick it in an ice cream cone and eat it with rainbow sprinkles, or a poor noodle vendor who will mush it up and sell it to some unsuspecting tourist.

Or something. XDDD

I'll post when I get back, not only about China, but about the last few Ouran episodes I'll watch, as well as a few movies (Fanboys, Love Actually WTK is up with my taste in movies it's all over the map) and my commentary (fasten your seatbelts it's a comm-en-tar-y~) on Half Blood Prince, which I suspect will take me about eight or nine hours to read, leaving me with at least ten more hours for whatever just on that one flight.

I must ask, wouldn't you think a plane from Boston to California and then Hong Kong would be a good idea? Who came up with the plan to go from Boston to Newark (New Jersey) to Hong Kong? It makes no logical sense, so much so that you wouldn't need pointy ears to recognize how illogical it is. Anyway, so we leave in the morning for a 2 hour flight to NJ, there's a layover of about 4 hours (argh) and then 18 or so hours to Hong Kong. Whoo... But hey, I shouldn't be complaining. It'll be awesome, I keep telling myself, mostly to offset Mum who's like, "ASDFGHJKLKJHGFDS
DFGHHJKLKJHGJFOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGYOU'RE GOING TO DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE~"

But I'm not going to die, unless the events of the first paragraph become an unfortunate reality.

But: I come bearing exceptional news that I would love nothing more than to archive here so that I may look back to it and giggle like a little girl.

I GAVE SNAPEKID A COOKIE.

It was awesome. I had made a giant batch of cookies since it was the last day before finals, and I was walking back from lunch and he was behind me, so I just turned around and was like, "Oh, hey Eli, Rachel said I should give you a cookie." And he actually wasn't too taken aback (maybe he had seen me give one to Ms. Colotti earlier?) and was just like, "Uh... Thank you." So then Echo comes running up to me while I'm at my locker all, "DID YOU GIVE SNAPEKID A COOKIE!!1!??" And I sort of brush it off like, "I dunno, why would you think so?" "BECAUSE I JUST SAW SNAPEKID WALKING DOWN THE HALL EATING A COOKIE."

So anyway, I was in math the next day talking to Rachel, and she's like, "Oh, yeah. Did you give Eli a cookie?" I kinda got worried like, "Did he say something? Wait, you covered for me, right?" And she just laughed, and I'll try to quote this as closely as I can: "Well, my mom picked me up yesterday and I heard Eli yelling at me from the second floor, and I figured he was just trying to mooch a ride off me- because he's SUCH a mooch- and instead he asked like, 'Hey Rachel, did you tell that girl to give me a cookie?' And I was like, 'Uhhhhh... Yeah?' because I heard 'girl'  and 'cookie' and I know you think he's funny, so I immediately got this mental image of you in my head, and then he was like, 'Oh, thanks. It was really good.'"  And by that time I was bright red and giggling furiously. XDDD I AM SO FAR GONE.

Cookie-ing other people was fun too, like Beekley with her almost biting my arm off with it, and Quadros with his G-rated version of, "HELLZ YEAH I WANT A COOKIE." Actually, that was just one of those things that reminded me how young he is- I think he's only 25 or something. But I saw his senior square in one of the old yearbooks, and it made me wonder why- after writing something nasty and sarcastic enough to even make Snape proud- would you want to go back and teach at a school you hated? He's a little Snape-y, I think, especially with the picture that they had of him. He kinda looked like that kid that didn't have any friends because everyone thought he was creepy. DDD= Maybe that explains why I don't hate him like everyone else does. Hm... I know he thanked me a second time, the day after, probably because no one else gives him stuff like that, even though it went something like, "Oh, Paige-" "Grace." "Huh?" (all Billy-like) "Grace, is my name." (I really look nothing like Paige!)

( Stella_muse had a party that was A pluuuuuuus~ )

Although, Snapekid was hanging out with this other kid who chevy_the_geek  swears is just like Milan Lucic of the Boston Bruins, so I'm on the lookout for Loochkid as well. =DDD

( Seriously, like, EVERYONE I KNOW has been telling me that they've seen him around, and for God's sakes, I've been seeing him *everywhere*. He's here and there like NEEYOOM NEEYOOM NEEYOOM. (Maybe he Apparates?) )

SO. On another note, (actually there are three more notes,) I first have a Silent Hill tidbit. Chevy recently had a dream in which PyramidHead was on Oprah for a makeover. Apparently he used to be a doctor in a really crumby area, and all the doctors made fun of him, and since it was in a rough part of town, he had to wear a bullet-proof helmet, so he pulled it all the way over his head and became PH. Also, his name is Drew. And he likes to wear Hawaiian shirts. I am now going to draw this.

Next, PROFESSOR LAYTON 2 TRAILER ASDFGHJKL;OMGOMGOMGOMGASDFGHJKL:frjjfjrsgrgjaargnho'ipriw- I first noticed the 'alcohol references' in the warnings label, and I have to wonder, "IS LAYTON SPIKING HIS TEA?" Also swooooord fiiiiights asdfghjkl; OMG ahhhhheeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!! <3333333333333 fdghjguiutllygiutgfghjm~

Lastly,khoany stood up in English today when the topic of China was brought up, and she said, "BTW, guys? We are all going to get diarrhea. Definitely. But, it's going to be the best damn diarrhea we've ever had." To which I immediately responded, "Ain't it just!" Needless to say, we were both the only ones laughing hysterically.

lyricalecho and I watched seven episodes of Buffy in less than 24 hours. It went: three episodes, SNL, sleep, one episode, breakfast, a walk (haha!) and then three more episodes. God, the finale was so amazing. Just... Ahhhhhh~ I loved all those episodes to pieces, I wouldn't even know where to start.

What I did start, however, was singing the Buffy theme more like, "GREEN BEANS, THEY ARE GREEN BEANS, THEY ARE GOOD FOR YOU, BECAUSE THEY'RE GREEN BEANS~"

I believe there was a bit of my summer!fluff!fic that describes Young Snape: "Instead, he merely wiped his forehead on the short sleeve of his favorite t-shirt: a worn blue Beatles one that his mother had gotten him for Christmas." I was after school on Wednesday and I saw Eli, AKA: Young Snape, and what was he wearing but the same short-sleeved blue Beatles t-shirt. (With the Yellow Submarine logo, actually.) It was awesome. And, I mean, he had the falling-apart converse sneakers, and the oversized, clunky headphones, and... =DDD Also, I heard him talk for the first time, and his voice is alot lower than I thought it would be. Actually, I know seniors whose voices aren't even that low. Do you think Snape grew into the deep AR!Snape voice that early on? (Because the AR!voice is totally canon, guys.)

I had a China meeting yesterday, and Beekley jokes abounded. Unfortunately, Mum found it fit to stay after and ask something along the lines of what would happen if I got certain female afflictions during the trip. I let this go for a bit, I was good, I swear, and then they wouldn't stop. (I don't care if China has CVS, okay!?) For gorram sake's, my mother is discussing my period with the Beek-Beast! After this, I am going to chase it from my mind. It never happened.

Also? Ms. Li? Mum said she was so cute, she would love to just 'eat her up with a spoon.' At least she's not cutting out her heart with it. XD "Because it hurts more, you twit!"

chevy_the_geek has this tendency to sneeze multiple times in a row. Like, five, six, seven times. (The record is eight.) What else could an attack like that be but a SNEEZE-URE!? AHAHAHAHAHAHA~ *sigh*

Holy crap. Yahoo blogging stole the zarla cake! I'm appalled! http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/parenting/itty-bitty-bites-colorful-rainbow-cake-will-blow-your-kids-away-432155/

Aspeaking of Zarla, is it bad that when I'm in Bio, learning about the different flower parts, I want to get up and sing, "BUT IT'S ALL CALLED STIGMAAAAA~!"

I forgot my history book, so I'm going to have to do extra work to get this paragraph/essay thing done. I'm not complaining, though, because it's my own damn fault.

BUT HEY ONE LAST THING. My dad called and he's sending me a list of all the people doing cards for the ComicCon thing. (I am making a study guide, you see.) The dinner, in addition, is really starting to take shape. Point being, do you know who Scott is friends with, and who he invited? MARK HAMILL. MARK. FREAKING. HAMILL. I AM GOING TO COMMIT SEPPUKU, I'M SORRY. I CAN'T CONTAIN IT.

I have to laugh, even though it wasn't funny at the time. I was watching Dollhouse and you know how they erase Echo's first personality and it rewinds, and there's that little flash of her having sex with the guy? That's when my mum came in. And after a small flurry of I-Have-An-Issue-With-This, I finally got frustrated because no one was letting me watch the gorram thing, so I had to find another, more secluded tv to watch it on.

I think it's going to grow on me. It's certainly interesting. First, though? Boyd Topher? Is it just me, or does Joss have a thing for cute, blonde, dorky guys? Because he's totally Wash-ish, I think. *Especially with that adorkable sweater vest~* Also, Topher  Boyd I kinda like. I don't know why, but I do. And the woman with all the scars, I don't know her name, and she barely said anything, but for some reason I really like her. She seems kinda woobie-ish. Also, my LW (Life's Work) OC  Aestorel has sort of the same thing going on, so maybe that's another reason. And the FBI guy? (I don't feel like looking up his name.) I'm not sure if I like him yet. I think I will, even though he's technically the bad guy, but he's also slightly woobie-ish, and oddly enough I can't really think back to any particular moment that would point to that other than his failtastic marriage.

What I think is the most interesting thing about Dollhouse, is simply that Joss is known for great character development (among other things) but here we have some characters that... Well, have no character. So we get attached to a different personality each week, and then it's erased. Huh.

So Valentine's Day I volunteered at this party at my church, and I got to hand out champagne. It was awesome. And also, opening those things up? There's some serious recoil. There was also (lyricalecho</lj> PAY ATTENTION TO THIS) a chocolate fountain, and after everyone left we got to clean it (read: chip off all the hardened chocolate and eat it.) John even started taking some off the tablecloth, and after he ate about half of it, we reminded him that it probably dribbled out of some little kid's mouth. "UGH! IT'S BACKWASH CHOCOLATE!"

Also, we got to walk around with trays of bagel bites and mini spinach pies and stuff, and I stopped at this table with an old couple and the guy was all nice and "Oh, I'll take one," and just as he reaches out, his wife is all, "I'LL HAVE ONE TOO" and snipes it right out from under his hand. It was old peep reflexes FTW. But then we had this whole thing where we were all hanging out with our trays like, "Uuuurgh, I really want to eat one of these pie things," and Father came over all, "You should totally have one!" And he offered to hold the tray and we were like 'hey, you can't make the priest hold it,' and then he made a joke about "I was called to serve," and then we sort of started making religious jokes and 'spinach is the devil's plaything' and then Father left and it was quiet for a second. And then Reed was like, "I don't know if he thought the God jokes were really funny, or really offensive."

So then I got home and I found D sitting on our couch watching Masterpiece Theater's Sense and Sensibility. And I was like, "=DDDDD ceiling_smiley</lj> and I LOVE Col. Brandon!" And D's like, "I KNOW, RITE?" (Speaking of which, Timothy Spall is in the MT Oliver Twist, and Maggie Smith too, and also this guy who sort of looks like Matthew Macfadyen but isn't...)

But anyway, it was so cute, because D and Mum got each other the same card, and they also got me the same card, so it was just like, '=DDDDDDDDDDDD' Mine is so adorable, with Pooh and Piglet, and I'm seriously going to put it in my locker. I gave my Mum a neat card that I bought from the Photo Club, though, and that was nice too.

Now I'm sitting here pigging out on Winfrey's samplers and chocolate walnut fudge (which is the beeeeeest) and I feel like I'm ten thousand pounds. But it's sooo good.

Also this morning, I'm looking at all the vaccinations I do/don't need to get before the China trip. I found this website that talked about all different countries and what you have to get, and it was like: Australia: yellow fever, because they don't want it in the country; Guam: normal vaccinations; Egypt: normal vaccinations; Canada: normal vaccinations; France: HEPATITIS B OMG DON'T HAVE SEX WITH ANY FRENCH PEEPS~ I don't know why I found that so funny. But Mum is convinced that I'm going to get everything in China, like rabies and typhoid and all of this stuff... There was a site though that said you need to get vaccinated for "Japanese encephalitis" which apparently makes your brain blow up like a balloon before it kills you. Great. 

On that note, it's going to be a great vacation! Happy Day After Valentine's Day! <333333333333333333333
