Kinda recent. It was only yesterday.
I love playing with my eye color.

Ok so right now I’m typing this in a word document because I am in a car on the way to Olivia’s so there is no internet. Because there is no internet I have nothing better to do than to type this. I was dragged out of the house a good few hours earlier than I would have needed to leave for Livi’s, because my mom wanted to do some errands and drop me off on the way back. Fun for me. I have started making the layout for Mariah’s Secret Project thing, and I think it turned out ok. I can’t give it to her, because I have no internet. I was just kind of experimenting, and it is my first layout, but I think I did a pretty good job. I totally just got déjà vu. Anyways, I will add to this later when I post it, but I am almost at Livi’s so I have to turn my comp off. Bye! For now. 


Ok that was yesterday. Now I am back home, just showered, and awaiting dinner. When I was driving to Livi's I saw Mt. Rainier and it was REALLY pretty so I tried to get a picture, but it didn't really work. If I feel like it, I'll touch it up and put it on the photographers comm. Maybe later, though. 

So when I got to Livi's there was only one other person there, but soon others started showing up. We played Guitar Hero 3 for a bit, except I failed some songs that I'm normally really good at because the orange button on Olivia's controller only works when it feels like it. That button is kind of important when you're playing on Expert. 

So 10 people ended up coming total. At least, I think it was ten. After we got sick of guitar hero, we started playing DDR. I haven't played that since sixth grade, so I kinda sucked. It was fun though. Eventually I just stopped trying and danced around on the pad thing. I still failed. Then they put me on a song filled up the whole bar on the challenge difficulty and since I was doing so bad people started helping me and hitting some of the buttons with their hands. We were determined to beat it, so we had four people per pad (we were on versus) and each person had their own button. It sounded like giant popcorn was popping, what with eight people slamming there fists on the ground. It was really hilarious. It took us about 8 tries, but we eventually beat the song. We had someone film us, and it was hilarious. I think I'm going to put it on my myspace. Eventually, I might try to put it on Youtube, if Youtube will let me. I totally made a vlog once, but Youtube wouldn't let me put it on there, so I never made any others. I think I'll just put it on myspace for now.

I also got a video of the "Who Can Fit The Most Smarties In Their Mouth" contest my two friends were having. Livi puked at the end, though. Luckily I stopped the video before hand. I'm really crappy with a camera, plus I was laughing really hard, so it's kind of crappy quality. I need a new camera really bad. 

Eventually the excitement died down after some people left. So our group was kind of cut in half. We just hung out in Livi's room until we all fell asleep. There was one thing that we talked about for a while though, but that plan is secret for now. I will not discuss it until after it happens. But believe me, it'll be hilarious. I'm smiling just thinking about it. 

The next morning wasn't as exciting as the night before, but as the group got smaller, the laughs got louder. Don't ask me how that works. We walked into the kitchen, and found that Livi's cat had sat on the cake (on top of the box) and squished part of it. We ate that part. All of us went into Livi's room and played with her bunny for a while. That was hilarious because Olivia was afraid it wasn't potty-trained and the rabbit was kind of a spaz anyways. We played some Cranium game for a while, and then we took the cards from some other game and started asking each other the questions on them. According to Livi, the thing that a walrus, wild boar, and elephant have in common is a trunk, and the thing that a starboard, and two other things on a boat had in common was "spaceship". 

Eventually it was just me and Livi. So we went into her room, messed around with some stuff. We took this little inflatable ball thing she had, and two falt wooden sticks and tried to play badminton with them. That wasn't really working, so we duct taped CD's to the tops to make them more like rackets. That worked a little better. But then my dad came, and now I'm here. 

And I've decided that for my location, since I'm nearly always in my room, I'm going to have it be any location I hear about mentioned in a song I'm listenening to. My first one was easy. They are only going to be like weird things not like actually cities because that could be taken seriously. And I'm only going to do it if I'm typing in my room. So yeah. Of course I'll type the song in the music part. 

So I think I'm done here. I have icon and layout making to do. And I have to fill out my reading log. And maybe type up part of an essay. And I have less than 3 hours. Fun for me.

Trina <3

That phrase has been stuck in my head for ETERNITY.

Anyways, I've been meaning to update this for a while, and I started, but then I got lazy, and my dad turned the modem off so I couldn't finish, and this was being retarded, and yeah. Too much went on for me to be able to update you on the past two weeks.

Let me start off by saying the Driver's Ed is the WORST CLASS EVER. Oh my gosh I hate it so much. It doesn't help that the teacher has that cliche monotone voice and they really do show those cheesy out-dated movies. It's kind of easy though. My dad has only taken my driving twice, but I got my permit! I think it's kind of scary that they just give you one without taking a test (if you give them proof that you are enrolled in Driver's Ed) because, yeah. It's just, weird. And yes, the picture is really the worst picture I've ever taken. Well, kind of. I still hate it. I have this driving game for xbox that lets you take a picture (if you have a camera) for your "license" and they purposefully distort it. I sat there taking picture after picture before I realized that it was screwed up on purpose. I felt retarded. But yeah I had my first lesson today, and I think I did ok, but I probably won't find out if I passed or not for a while.

The Romeo and Juliet thingy majig is finally over! Not that I hate Romeo and Juliet, but I got really tired of it. I wanted to move on. Romeo's a manwhore anyways. Shallow idiot. I hate the ending, but then again, who doesn't? We watched the weirdest movie version of it though. It was on TV one night so I watched it. Wow. Crazy. And I could never really take it seriously because it was so 90's and it was modern times + Shakespeare language. Strange combo, there. The final on it wasn't too bad, either.

Lately my parents have been "fighting" a lot. When I say fighting I don't mean like yelling and hitting each other, they just tend to disagree and get on each other's case a lot. I don't know what's with the sudden change, but it doesn't help that my brother is constantly in trouble at school. I hate it. I cry. Oh well. I get over it.

I hate Valentine's Day.

I wouldn't hate it if I got something from someone.

But I never do.

Therefore...

Hatred.

End of story.

This weekend should be pretty busy, though.

I think that I'm going to the movies after school tomorrow, then going home real quick, then there's a dance at school, then I think I'm going to a friend's house, then on Saturday I think I'm going to another friend's house. Luckily it's a 4-day weekend.

I'm really excited though because I finally got my high school schedule all planned out. For all the other three years. There are a few things that I am unsure about, though. Like I'm not sure which Senior English class I'm taking yet. Sophomore is good. Junior, maybe. I have a few different versions of it typed up with some electives switched around. I ended up changing my career aspiration after looking at the different classes offered and really thinking about it. I used to want to produce music and I had a college picked out and everything. But I thought about it, and it would involve a lot of learning different instruments on my part and I'm not very experienced in that type of field. Now, I would like to explore a career in either Photography and/or Graphic Design. I'm looking at various colleges, but I really want to stay in Washington, so my top choice is obviously The Art Institute of Seattle ( I love Seattle.) I haven't really explored any others yet.

Basically my schedule is a bunch of Honor's and AP classes, and my electives are all Photography and Graphic Design. I think I'm going to buy a new digital camera, though. I'll explore for those too.

The reason for my sudden change in career choice is because I realized that I love photography, taking pictures, editing pictures, making designs, etc. I'm better at it than I am at writing music that's for sure. It suits me more, despite my immense love for music.

So that's basically all of the important happenings lately. That I can remember at least.

OH WAIT!!!!!!

I TOTALLY FORGOT.






I'M SEEING PANIC AT THE DISCO IN JUNE WITH 5 OF MY FRIENDS AND WE GOT VIP TICKETS!!!!!!!!!!

*uber excitement, dances*

I can't wait for June 7th. I made a countdown in my planner and today there are 114 days left. When it starts getting closer (I did this last year) I will start making little doodles of how many days are left (the number elaborately decorated, that is). Part anticipation, part anxiousness, part excitement...part boredom, really. I really hope that we get Meet and Greet, though, because I REALLY want to meet them. It would make my day. And my year. And my life. And my afterlife.

I love them.

And their new video came out! I have yet to buy it because my parent's are being dumb and not letting me yet, but I will get it soon. Then I'm going to figure out how to make icons and avatars and...you connect the dots.

Well I think I'm done here for today. Mostly because it is my bedtime and I don't want to get yelled at. If there is anything I forgot, I will post about it tomorrow*

Pictures tomorrow* too. I don't really have any today and I'm too lazy to get what I don have on the laptop.





*Loosely translated as Saturday. Or Sunday. Or whenever I get the chance. Which could be next week sometime. Or two weeks from now.





Well, byez then!


Luv,

Trina <3

p.s. I was planning on making a layout for this and my myspace, but all of the editor's and code generators I used are retarded. So there, that's why everything is so boring. I have it all planned out in my head and I made a pic for all the background, contact table, extended network, etc. but stupid retarded...things.

*****EDIT*****

I just found this. It's an old blog, and I really don't remember too much about what happened after I left off (gosh this post is gonna be long). I think I was kind of depressed. This is from like, the fourth and the eighth I think.:

Ok I know it's been a while, but I haven't really felt like blogging all week.

This first part was typed on Monday I believe:

Ugh. Fam's fighting again. It's fucking embarrassing. Oh well.

Sorry I didn't update the past few days. I just wasn't in the mood for it. I didn't have any new pix anyways. Not much has happened so I didn't really have anything interesting to say.

Let's see, I left off Saturday. Well, for one thing, Hooray for 14 hours of sleep! Yeah I went to bed at midnight (stayed up talking to a friend), and woke up at 2. Pm. I suppose I should have gotten up earlier, because I was supposed to practice driving, but I didn't want to. Honestly, after the night before, I really wasn't in the mood to do anything. I was just kind of down the whole day. I don't really remember doing anything interesting. I figured out how to use my webcam. I messed around on photoshop and made this coolio alter ego mirror image reflection thingy (its on my myspace, the dumb upload thing still doesn't work on here.) And that was pretty much it. Sunday was boring again because I had to finish my homework and school was the next day. I got up a few hours earlier this time. Homework should have been easy, but I was very distracted. My hair was being stubborn, and still is today. Dumb curls. I did, however, find out that one of my neighbors, whom I don't talk to all that often anymore for some weird reason, will now be riding my bus because he is going to our high school instead of the one in the district over (or wherever it is). I won't tell you why he "transferred" but yeah, I'm excited.

So today, I didn't want to go to school. Plus, I had Driver's Ed. Woo. Fun. I now officially HATE that class. It's the worst. And I might be exaggerating, but I don't care. I saw a few old friends, said hello, yeah yeah blah blah blah all that good stuff. And then I saw him. At least he acknowledges my presence now. He said a slightly non-enthusiastic "Hey, Katrina." No eye contact. Whatsoever. In fact, he proceeded to look the other way. When you say hi to someone, don't you look at them? My elation at seeing him quickly died when I noticed this, so I responded with an even less enthusiastic "Hey". The worst part about the whole situation was the way he addressed me; He made it seem like it was his obligation to say hi, but he really preferred not to. Like he was only doing because he had to to be nice. Oh yeah that makes me feel WAY better. And it reminded me of how one of my classmates is planning on PAYING someone to buy me something on Valentine's Day, just so I won't be able to complain about how I never get anything. Totally defeats the purpose of getting a gift. And it makes me feel even worse. He's a nice guy, isn't he? Yeah, so I had to stand out in the cold waiting for the bus and I was already pissed off from what had happened earlier that day. Then I got home, and pounded on the door so hard that I hit my hand on my bracelet and left this welt there. So it took someone forever to open the door, and they only opened it like a quarter of an inch. That may seem like nothing, but remember, I was already pissed off. So now I'm in a huge bad mood. Ugh. I really want to make more little photoshop creations, but in order to do that, I need more pictures, and I look like crap today. At least, my hair does. And I want to make my new myspace layout as soon as possible and I might make one for this, too. So that's pretty much all I have to say. Sorry about the pic thing not working. This will have to be posted tomorrow anyways because my dad turned to internet off. So now I have to save this to a word document. Oh well. Gosh they're still fighting.

Ok that's that part. And this was today (a recap of the week):
Ok so I had to save that to a word document because I knew that I wasn't going to finish that night. Sadly, the next day, the power went out.
I believe our school was actually 2 hours late the next day because of the huge storm. I usually enjoy power outages because it feels like camping, but the power went out when I was in the middle of straightening my hair, so I was kinda mad.

And that's where I left off, obviously. The power came back on, I remember that. And it didn't storm at all after that I believe. The weather is definitely improving now.

And looking at my calendar a few things from that week are coming back to me.

We had this "Elective Fair" where all the 9th graders went up to the high school to go see which electives they wanted to take.

Total.

Waste.

Of time.

Really, it was just both schools all together, walking around in the different gyms. There were so many people that you couldn't really go look at any of the elective stands. I looked at a few, but I doubted I would use the choices I had. I mostly spent that time talking to my friends from the other school. It was hectic nonetheless.

Also, I went back to E-life for the first time in a LONG time. For those of you that don't know what that is, too bad. Google, my friends. But yeah, it was cool. Especially because the friend that gives me a ride, her dad has a 15-seater van now. It's AWESOME. So was E-life. It was good to be back. I hadn't gone in so long because I was either busy, or seriously not in the mood. I'm going to try to start going more now though. Now that my workload is lighter. Two guys there did this really awesome dance before it started, too. Apparently there is a video of it on Youtube, but I haven't looked for it yet. When I find it, I'll put it on here for ya. It's hilarious.

Anyways, I believe that is FINALLY all. Sorry about the immense length, but it's been a while. And as you probably already know, I tend to write a lot.

I already said goodbye.

Well, today wasn't as exciting as yesterday, but it wasn't totally boring. The pic above was taken a little bit ago, but I liked it, so yeah. Kind of a tomboy look, don't you think?

School was cancelled. Because our school district is RETARDED. It started out as 2 hours late so I got up kind of early anyways, and then I find out its cancelled and was too awake to go back to sleep. Don't you hate that? I had things to do anyways. I don't know why it was cancelled anyways. I mean look at our yard:

Not much, is there? Not enough to cancel school, in my opinion.

I'm still not totally done setting up my laptop. I mean, I have all the right software on it, but it's just not finished yet. I still have many things to do before I can just relax. My dad already thinks I'm living on my laptop. Mostly because I am on it like 24/7 now trying to make it my own. I have the following things to do:

-Organize my Itunes
-Put my pictures in Photoshop
-Get a desktop background
-Download some videos that I've been wanting to get
-Download some fonts that I've been wanting
-Type up a few documents
-Install Sims 2
-Get all of my email accounts on Outlook

There are probably things I'm missing on there.

So I got a chance to downlaod a ton of music before we had to leave for my brothersd doctor's appt. , but I didn't get to organize it all. And that pissed me off.

I may be kind of messy, but I need some sort of organization. I don't like having to go through all 1500+ songs on my ipod just to find one. Because honestly I can't tell you who sings some of the songs on there if I just look at the title. And I can't look by artist either because not all of the artists show up for some odd reason. I'm not even gonna talk about albums.

That's why I make so many playlists, and I'm constantly changing them.

But I dealt with it while we were out and about in Tumwater and such. I was just kind of tagging along with my bro and dad. Here's me freezing in the car.

Yeah I was pretty bored. But since I was stuck in the car, I decided to make my first vlog! You can check it out over at my youtube - TrinaLeAnne.
or search for OMGZ it's Trina!
Here's my doodles from the vid in case you couldn't read them:


I guess they're still kind of hard to read.
How do you like my third grade sun?
And i thought I had amazing timing when in the video, I moved the camera to look at the Panic lyrics right as that part of the song came on. It was cool.

We stopped at a Big 5 so I could get some snowboarding gear because I'm gonna get lessons soon! I've always wanted to learn how to skateboard or snowboard; for some reason I like that idea better than skiing. I got these really awesome pants and goggles.

When we got home I came straight to my laptop and am currently indulging in my newly downloaded music (currently Regina Spektor.)

I also took a shot at editing a video for the first time and was successful. My laptop came with Adobe Premiere Elements, and its a really easy program to use. I'm glad for that.

I did some exploring too and found that there is separate VIP presale tickets for Panic at the Disco's tour, AND I AM SOOOOO GETTING THEM. They only cost 30$ more and you get early entry, a t-shirt, and Meet and Greet. I have always wanted to meet them. And now I might have a chance! But there is a slim chance that the friends I take will get VIP, which is sad.




Well I just took a huge break from typing to do a bunch of photo stuff and now I've lost my train of thought. I can't think of anything else to say, so I guess I'll just leave off here. Hope you enjoyed!





Sincerely,

Well hi there!
I've been wanting to get a livejournal for a while but I haven't decided to actually get one until now.
This will kind of just be like an intro post thing and then the real stuff will start later.
Or right now. I haven't decided. Sorry if I'm kinda boring. If that's true, then you should probably stop reading this. I will try to update frequently.

Anyways...

If you want to get in touch with me I have MSN, AIM, Myspace, Xbox Live, various email addresses, and a Youtube account (TrinaLeAnne is the username). So just find me on one of those and, yeah. I think you get it. Message for any info you need.

Well now that that's done, these last few days have been very eventful. The whole reason I finally decided to get a blog is because I finally got a brand spankin' new LAPTOP!
Yeah it's pretty much the coolest thing EVER. I've spent the past few days installing all this different stuff on it and I'm very close to being done. Just a few things left to customize and voila!

Also, I was freaking out earlier because Panic at the Disco (for those of you that don't know me, they are my FAVORITE band in the whole entire Universe. Yeah, they rock.) released a new single finally and I LOVE it. And there new album, Pretty. Odd., is finally available for Pre-order. So I went to the site and found out that there is a DELUXE EDITION! It comes with all of this totally awesome stuff and I really really wanted to get it (to add to my collection). When I tried to buy it, however, it said OUT OF STOCK. *Devastation* There was only 10,000 copies so, obviously, I was mortified and deeply worried that I had missed my chance. That was yesterday. I tried it again today and after about 431097491935t19374 tries I got through and bought it. It also came with a discount on The Hush Sound's new album (love them too.) So now I'm uber stoked to get it in March and it even came with a free t-shirt! Sadly they didn't have my size, so i had to get the size slightly bigger :[. Oh well.


Its the start of the new semester at school, and it's not very exciting. I now have drama as my new elective, and so far its a really awesome class. The teacher is really cool. I knew I would like it anyways because I have done lots of drama productions before. We aren't putting on a play in the class or anything, but it should be cool anyways. My other new class is Integrated Science, which is essentially chemistry and physics, which is essentially everything we learned in like seventh grade, only more elaborate. I don't understand why they don't just teach everything one year, and then we move on to another subject the next. Every year is the same stuff, only in a bit more detail. The academic system is retarded. Science is still fun though. The teacher has talkative kids go over and be "Safety Observers" (they watch the fire extinguisher to make sure its always "green and fully charged") as punishment. My last teacher was cooler than the one I have now, but I think I will like this class more. The teacher we have now is a student teacher instead of the one that used to teach the class, who was, according to everyone who had him, totally awesome. So yeah, it kinda sucks,, but I'm fine with it.

Another thing that I'm excited about is that I am possibly going to go get my learner's permit tomorrow, and I start driver's ed next Monday. Now, I, unlike many people my age, have never driven a day in my life. All I have to go off of is this Driver's Manual thing, but that only teaches me the rules of the road, so I guess it doesn't count. I can't wait to drive though. Apparently I'm getting my mom's car instead of a new one, but I'm ok with that because she has a hybrid in a pretty color, which is probably what I would've bought anyways. Not that I have the money for a car, that is.

Also, come June 7th, I'm seeing Panic at the Disco in concert for the THIRD TIME IN A ROW!!! I can't wait. Really. I'm not quite sure whose going with me this time. I try to take a different group of friends each time. And this time I am definitely bringing my camera and USING IT. And I am really hoping for meet and greet passes. I've tried for them in the past, and failed. Third time's the charm, right?

Well, that's pretty much all I have to say right now. I think I'm gonna make my first vlog to put on Youtube now. Or maybe I'll do a little writing. This was kind of a long post, but expect that from me. I get kind of carried away when it comes to writing. Ask my friends. And sorry for the excessive use of CAPS. I guess I get carried away there too. And sorry for my rambling, if its boring to you. And sorry for the excessive apologies. OK, I'm done now.

Until next time,

Trina

P.S. In future posts I will be including pictures, but since this is my first and I'm still new to all of this, I decided to let it go for today.
