Wow, It's Been A VERY Long Time!!!

I am so sorry it's taken me this long to post. I've only got 11 days left until exams-only 15 days of school(and exam days are half days!) so my teachers have been cramming in all the work they can.I've been completely overloaded and so usually when the weekend comes, I just want to chill out and truthfully, blogging was one of the things I least wanted to do. But I got in the mood a little bit once I realized that I was being missed :P

In other news, I have this big end-of-the-year project for my foods class in which I have to cook a big 3-course meal for my family. I made it last night. Including shopping for the food, making it, and cleaning up, it took about 7 hours! My feet hurt from standing up that long once I was done. But it payed off because the dinner turned out pretty good!

So I found these super adorable dolls that are made in Japan. They're called Sonny Angels and their basically exactly like Kewpie dolls only way cheaper. And their eyes move. And they have little wings on their backs! Anyway, I really want one. There are several sizes:

Here are more pics if you want to see them


Yes, they are anatomically correct ;) But they're supposed to be babies, so I don't think it's sick, unlike my friends :P("Ew! What the hell is wrong with you?")

I was going to get one when I found some U2 tickets for only $60!!!It's my dream to see U2 live. I'm a CRAZED fan. So now I'm scraping up all the money I can get to buy those(but my neighbor might be able to get some for free*crosses fingers*)

I think I've made this clear before(though it's been a REALLY long time), but I really don't like Shakespeare. I admit, he was a talented dude. But I personally think he's a bit overrated. But I'm pretty sure I'm dyslexic(I still need to be tested for it) and having weird, old words mixed up(when my head mixes them up for me) is not easy.I literally have to read almost every line 6 times to understand it. Which is why my teacher's summaries and Spark Notes are by bffs at the moment.

I still haven't finished The Host yet, sorry! I've been meaning to get around to it(I might read it when I'm done with this), but I haven't had much motivation and/or time. But I promise you guys, when summer comes(not too far away) you will have a crazy amount of book reviews from me :P And if I don't remember, virtually kick me(unless I see you in person, then kick me-though I will kick you back, just a warning)

My photos are becoming slightly more popular on Flickr! Help me out, people, and check out my photostream if you haven't yet! While I've been slacking off on the blogging, I have been updating my Flickr a decent bit.

Before I go, here's the last of the updates:
What I'm listening to:" "Your Love" by The Outfield(AH-MAZING song!!! Great cover by Katy Perry, too!)
What I'm reading: For fun-nothing For school-finished To Kill a Mockingbird(on a scale of 1-10, it was a 6.5) and The Odyssey(I liked it-I'm into the whole gods and goddesses thing) and am now working on Romeo and Juliet, which as I mentioned earlier, sucks ass in my opinon -_-
Current Obsession: I've always loved Journey, but now they're like, ALL that I'm listening to, no joke. Oh, and I've always been thinking of creative ways to get James in trouble and/or possibly dead? Sounds mean, but he's been as complete asshole lately.
Current hate: James, duh!
Last thing I bought: Hm...I think it was Mother's day gifts.
Last Place I went: Besides school...the grocery store. How exciting, right?

Ok, I really gotta go now. I'll post more often now!

Nice, going to see U2?! I loved Vertigo in middle school. It's was on my mp3 for years.

And yes, I agree that Shakespeare was a maniac. I don't like his writing, but the concepts are neat. But why'd he have to make everything a damn tragedy??

And the Host? Yeah, I'm not finished either.

I'm glad you're finally back! I sometimes have nothing to blog about either, but when I get back into the mood, I start to blog about random stuff but it's how people catch up with me.

So even if it's just a "hey, I'm having mexican for dinner," it's still worth a read ;)

God, I hope that you get to see U2. That would be the coolest thing EVER!

Those dolls are. . . . interesting : P I like the Pullip ones better
