The Ultimate Adventure

You know my friend Val, she has a sister named Rachel. They threw this HUGE party and all these girls were running around and Rachel and Val suggested that they watch a scary movie. Some girl didn't want to and we spent fifty hours trying to convince to watch it. You know that moment when everyone is trying to convince that one person who don't get the system? It was like that. So we finally watch it and I don't remember it being that scary for me, but it was obviously EXTREMELY scary. i don't know if this was while we were watching it, or this was in the movie that we were watching, but people started disappearing. One by one, each person vaporized into thin air. Soon, there was nothing but emptiness.

And then all of a sudden, we're on a playground. All the girls were standing on the woodchips, plus some guys too this time. There was one girl sitting at the bottom of one of those pink plastic slides, talking on her phone. Someone pointed out that it was Selena Gomez. I look closely and it IS her. Other people on the playground have noticed but weren't saying anything, or approaching her. I went up to her, and the people I was with came too. I sat down next to her, and my friends kinda crowded around her, and Selena Gomez hung up her phone and started laughing. I guess she wasn't counting on people actually approaching her, so she can go in public and actually have privacy. I think I asked for a picture.

All of a sudden, I'm watching a documentary. About Wizards of Waverly Place. Selena Gomez is walking down a pebble bridge over a stream of lilies. She's walking through this rock tunnel. This woman's voice narrates. "It was a phenomenon. She made wizards COOL again."

BAM! I'm in my mom's room. I hear my dad teaching some foreigner English in the living room.

And then i woke up.

Today was a productive day.

Okay. So. Grace and I got our schedules and found we had two classes together. Bleh. We're seeing if we can rearrange a couple things so we can have at least three. Which is the most that's even POSSIBLE.

i'M SO EXCITED FOR SCHOOL. YAY. I HATE JIHYE. MOVING ON.

We visited all the teachers. Ms. Reed looks awesome. Mr Bugg thinks we're stalking him. Grace's German teacher looks creepy. Etc.

We left, heading to the PX, ate things, drank things, bought my mom's birthday present (earrings), lost Grace's shot records, found them, went to Alpha, then came to my house and hung out. We ate dinner, painted half of Grace's nails. Grace made her decision terribly unclear helped me choose what I'm going to wear on the first day of school, and didn't help me choose the nail polish to put on. I'm still blank on which to do on both options.

We made 8th grade resolutions and sketched the following people: Grace, Lauren, Me, Yena, Anh, Mr Bugg and his wife, Miss Yoon and her open mouth, Miss Brown looking thin and stylish with her wild Irish hair, Mr Dye looking thinner than ever.

8th grade resolutions:

JISU

1) Use locker and keep it neat.

2) Eat healthily.

3) Be painfully honest.

4) mep


GRACE

1) Dye hair ridiculous color which I will regret later in life.

2) Get all A's.

3) Feed the starving artist in side of me. (Lol. Grace is wierd.)

4) [Manipulate others to make life enjoyable] (Not a part of the list, but she said it. Let's all hope she was joking.]

OH MY GOD I CANT WAIT TILL SCHOOL. IM SO NOT READY.

It's a habit

to blog in the morning now, I guess? I woke up at 7 and I'm sooooo extremely bored I thought I'd blog for the hell of it. sL:dkjegalskdjfjeihts et

RIDICULOUS THINGS:
1) Nine year old girls on youtube doing make up tutorials putting on primer, concealer, bronzer, cheek stain, powder, highlighter and calling it a 'light' look. WTF. YOU ARE A CHILD. GO JOIN THE GIRL SCOUTS OR SOMETHING.

2) South Korea. I can't believe I'm here, but I might as well TRY to make it less sucky since I'm here anyway. :}

3) People that have so much time on their hands. I found this on Yahoo Answers Fail: askcarlyanything.webs.com. It's basically about this lady (probably ten year old with too much time) who gives advice over email. Ummm. Okay then.

4) The fact that I forgot didn't bring Kumon to LA so I have approximate 39 hours of math ahead of me. I'm pushing it off.

5) Hey hey you you i dont like your girlfriend.

Not the wisest choice...

I'm blogging in the morning, actually as soon as I got up, which is probably not the wisest choice because by noon I might see my twin separated at birth or my mother could take simultaneous ballet lessons. But whatttttttever.

I'll start with saying HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GRACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woohoo! How's it feel to be an official teenager? (Not much different, I know) Congratulations, you are now an official emotional moody ungrateful acne-covered TEENAGER. Fabulous to be thirteen, am i right?

I dreamt that Aubrey, Larissa and Valerie had kidnapped me and was keeping me in a nice fairy tale mushroom style house in the middle of the forest. Aubrey was their leader. I remember I was some exotic Siberian thing and I woke up and ran for the door because it was wide open. I heard Aubrey yell behind me, "You LEFT the DOOR OPEN?!?!?!?!" And they were chasing after me. That's it. End of dream, end of blog post.

Hey, Seoul Sister

I'm back in Seoul, and I know you're disappointed because I've only managed to post ZERO posts in California. Ooh, yeah.

So I'll give you guys a quick wrap-up.

DAY 1: Val, her sister Rachel and Julia picked me up at LAX with balloons and gifts and a HUGE card bigger than my backpack. We went to val's dad's hilltop home at like 6 PM and swam in her pool. (Her pool looks over the entire city of LA. It's pretty damn awesome.) Oh and Julia slept over for the hell of it.

DAY 2: KNOTT'S! I went to Knott's with Val, Rachel and Val's German cousin Kim. Kim is Miz Legs. Seventy percent of her entire her is her LEGS. (OH MY GOD. THESE PEOPLE ARE LIKE JA JA JA JA JA. "You want zis cherries?" "Oh, sure." "Ja?" "Um. Yeah." "Ja?" "Uh, yes." "Ja?" "...Ja.") IT WAS AWESOME. I prefer Six Flags but it was still amazing.

DAY 3: Val and her cousins went to Vegas, but I stayed in LA. I went to Amanda's in the morning (my second home) and hung out with her and Victoria and Ben. Julia's mom picked me up and dropped me off at Nicole's house. You know, the one with 8 bedrooms? We swam like the winds with Julia and I pushed Sofia in the pool, etc. Then Demie picked me up from Nicole's and I slept at her house.

DAY 4: Demie and I go to the mall! I completely give her a makeover, and we clean out the shops! Being pooped from walking around all day, we were relaxing in the Promenade when someone plops down across from us. It's JOSEPH DAHL! One of my dear friends that I haven't been able to contact lately! We make plans and move on.

DAY 5: Demie and I were supposed to walk to Amanda's by noon, but we get there at three. Reason 1: We were as lazy as hell and left the house at 1:30 and walked like the Korean Mafia. Reason 2: We dropped by Lara's house to say hello, but we got pushed into coming inside and chatting and splashing water and playing fetch with her dog and so we got to Amanda's at three. We hung out with Renee and Victoria. Demie left for ballet, and later she picked me up and I taught her how to read Korean for like an hour, and then BAM! She can read and write Korean now.

DAY 6: I go to Aubrey's birthday party, and I see a BUNCH of people from school. Running hugs, gaping mouths, OH MY GODS, and How Was Korea's. Woot. Swimming. Eating. Laughing. Jumping. Jacuzzing. Sleeping at Val's mom's house cos she's back from Las Vegas.

DAY 7: I start off my noon by going to Katelyn's house. She's the Korean obsessed friend. We take random pictures like drinking lotion and discuss Korea in general. Pretty soon Val's picking me and taking me to the mall, where we were supposed to hang out with Weston, Chris, Larissa and Joseph, but only Larissa and Joseph are there so we just played Truth or Dare in the middle of the mall.

DAY 8: We go to the beach with Larissa, and Val's family. We go to Laguna Beach. The water was so cold that it hurt our legs so we just mainly tanned and sanded... It was awesome and then the waves were so strong that i fell over and sand got EVERYWHERE. Like... EVERYWHERE. It was so painful. OH AND BEFORE THAT, IN THE MORNING we go to FMS with a huge basket fulla food and we expected it to be empty but there were people there, but we just laid out a blanket and started eating muffins and singing Kesha's songs REALLY loud and the principal came out but he didn't care.

DAY 9 LAST DAY: We jampack EVERYTHING in this day. We wanted to go to Six Flags but we were forced to go to Raging Waters and it was 110 degrees outside and we just went on two rides and then we left. Val and I went to the mall and we got popcorn and we sat down in the middle of the mall where EVERYONE was walking and everyone stared at us, and then we went to the second floor and started throwing popcorn down at people.

I MISS LOS ANGELES ALREADY!

Leaving for LA

So. When my mom suggested moving to Seoul, I was like NOOOOOOOOOOOOO but then she convinced me, saying that it was all for my future and how GREAT this school is and how much Korean I'll learn and all that. So I came, and the school is CRAP, the weather is CRAP, the people are pretty CRAPpish (not everyone but 9 out of 10 ppl), and everything is crap. I was expecting some prestigious Seoul school, and I get some alkdjf;lawjgew lkdjfe.

I got like, super lazy and I just didn't care about the world and I was a lot more touchy and irritable. Since I was really a new student, I was all NICE and HELPFUL and PLEASANT. I'm usually a lot more obnoxious and rude and bold and full of myself. I'm normally boisterous, loud, annoying and painfully honest. Not that I'm not annoying now. But I got all NICE and FAKE and SWEET and PLASTIC. (Be prepared, Grace. Pretty soon when I get used to you I'm going to sabotage your life. :D)

I was really frustrated and pretty much depressed all of January-March, and then I just plain hated Korea March-June. I don't really remember how I spent my life in July, and here we are, the days I've been spending the entire year waiting for: California.

I've been so depressed in all this pollution, snow and crap that I'm so freaking glad I'm taking a week off in the sunny land of Californiacasim. Can you IMAGINE? After more than half a year in living HELL, after being promised heaven, mind you, I'm finally returning to the sunny hometown of Los Angeles. BACK TO THE MEMORIES. BACK TO MY CHILDHOOD. BACK TO THE FRIENDS, LAUGHTER, SUNSHINE AND FUN! A chance to be obnoxious and rude and be completely accepted! A chance to go the beach, mall, movies, Six Flags! A chance to be myself again! A shot at Happiness! I plan to find myself again, dear readers. I plan to find my old self during my ten days in Heaven. You just watch.

Now that my dramatic moment is over, I've GOTTA GET READY. I have to shower, format my camera, charge my camera, roam my phone, pack my phone and camera and its chargers, pack more schutff. and WOOO. Stay posted, people. I leave for CA today.

OMG

Haven't updated in seven thousand years. So much has been going on, but life is definitely getting better. It's official. I AM GOING TO CALIFORNIA. I've spent so much time shopping up, and today I got most of the packing done. I keep getting this weird feeling something's missing but whatever. i am as nervous as a butterfly. I'll be flying first class tomorrow. Fanceh.

After eight days of shopping, looking and pondering, we finally settled on these black vinyl double strapped heels for Cheryl, my friend's mom. This happened like, four days ago. But of course, my mom decides the shoes are too formal and stuffy the day before my departure. So she's making my aunt get a pair of expensive, heeled sandals of the same quality before my 8 o'clock flight.

I'll probably make a LEAVING-FOR CALIFORNIA post tomorrow, but if I don't get to, I'm just giving you guys a heads-up. I SERIOUSLY WANNA DRINK COKE RIGHT NOW BUT MY DAD BOUGHT THIS FREAKING CARROT JUICE INSTEAD. Carrot juice. That is a crime, my friends.

CARROT JUICE.

I've been drinking water for the past few days because there was absolutely NOTHING in my fridge. My mom refused to get groceries so I've been munching on cherries and swigging cups of H2O. It turns out she didn't get groceries because she wants to lose a few pounds over my stay in LA, and doesn't want food distracting her. HER SKINNINESS FOR MY HUNGER. THANKS, MAMA.

CAN'T WAIT. TILL. TMW.
