Subject | "Coronation .. and old blog entries"

Music | Kanon by Pachelbel again, but this time in D Minor.

Mood | Exhausted

So I came home in a horrific mood - partially because I kinda got in a car accident, and no, I do not want to talk about it (and no, I do not want my sisters hysterically calling my house, because Mom knows and Dad doesn't), and then I got in an argument/breaking of nuclear arms agreement with Sarah, so I closed the last entry since it got bloody. (Although ironically, Sarah IMmed me about that just as I was doing it.)

Instead, here's something I got at school today, which I thought was amusing. Hopefully, you will too.

Today's Burbank High School Finance Window Purchases

I thought I was just buying coronation tickets. Guess who was proved wrong.

This is freaking hilarious. So my sister was reading through *old* blog entries, and she found this one, which was posted on December 14th, 2003. In other words, it's a freaking old entry.

At the very bottom, several _months_ after the entry had been posted, some very amusing person posted the following comments:

do u not have a life to write all that damn u wrote alot

I can't tell you how much this cracks me up. The poor sucker posted this months after I blogged - meaning, what were the chances of me finding this? - and put in this beautiful and wittingly cutting comment, hoping to - what, make me cry? I started laughing, but my sister was indignant. She said something about lame-ass, wimpy Asian boys. Anyway, I thought I'd add that in here since I was so amused.

This is hilarious. Thanks for pointing this out, Christina. I do have over 140 blog entries, I wonder how many others these people have been bored enough to hammer?

From the last entry:
Get a life and stop gossiping. Worry about yourselves and what you can and more importantly cant do!! Stop BLAMING teachers for your deficiencies!! Teachers dont get paid enough to deal with your SHIT. They do their jobs with the intention of making a difference! Criticize, thats all you do. How would you feel if someone posted shit and criticized you!! Be an adult and take responsibility for your own FUCKUPS!!!

And thank you very much, my father agreed with me.

"How would you feel if someone posted shit and criticized you!! "

I guess that's what someone just did. And I, like the administrators, ironically enough, know that you can't do anything about it, sucker. I guess someone got owned today.

Here's something I noticed, though: I didn't actually criticize any teachers in my entry, just the administrators (and those who know me know that I freely hate them), and in fact, the only one criticizing teachers there is .. Justin Milota. How odd.

Subject | "Wow, school rebellion"

Music |

Mood |

So before you read this, here's the basic storyline.

Seniors at BHS traditionally are allowed to put a "senior quote" underneath their picture in the yearbook. People do all sorts of things - quoting writers, scholars, philosophers, Jay Leno, word mazes, or just the basic "HI MOM DAD I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH AND THANK YOU JESUS FOR ALWAYS BEING THERE FOR ME", but they've generally been around for years.

Last year, two seniors - in a moment of idiocy brought about by considerable and justifiable rage - decided to put in a secret message hidden inside their quote that contained, er, profanities about their teacher. They bragged about it, everyone found out, they got blocked from graduation, and thus we thought that was the end of it.

It wasn't. And now our class is paying for it, because they are taking these quotes away.

Yes, it is a trivial thing to argue. Ooh, they took away my senior quotes - it's not like they decided there shouldn't be a graduation ceremony because there was heckling last year, or decided to sell all organs of BHS students on the black market, or that they're going to use as as sacrifices in their dark Administrative ceremonies. But nevertheless, it's something I want.

More than that, I feel like I've wasted four years at BHS. I feel like I've been rushing around, never enjoying my life, always desperate to get into the best college I can. I don't regret that I was busy, don't regret my clubs, don't regret that everything and everyone I love generally got put on the back burner. But I do regret this experience. The following letter is to the BHS administration. I plan to get signatures - and people will sign - to accompany this letter when I turn it in Thursday. (This letter is a rough draft, btw, so excuse the errors - I'm taking it to Thomson, Grogan, and Weiser this morning for editing.) If they say no to me, I will simply embarass them as best I possibly can by sending an alternate letter to the Burbank Leader (that is, if that newspaper publishes it) talking about the injustice of our administration. I sincerely doubt that the latter letter will convince them, but it will hopefully:

1) incur the wrath of old Burbank alumni who feel sorry for our class
2) really really really embarrass them
3) alert some hyper parents to their kids having their fun taken away (soccer-moms, rebel!)

It might not get us a senior quote anyway. But at least I tried.

Link is at the moment disconnected due to inferiority and the fact that the edited version is at school.
