Life goes on.... whatev

Sorry I haven't written for a while, I have been realy busy. With chinese new year and homework of all types, I have been constantly busy.

My one teacher was crowned the "projct queen" last year for a reason. Her projects are always fun, but f**k are they hard. Also, I kind of have problems with OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder). For one thing, I am always a perfectionist. When I was a baby, I took all the labels off of the canned food in the cabinet and said "now everything is neat!" or something to that extent. So, we had mystery dinner for a while. Also, I always try to make all of my projects perfect. For a twenty-point project for Ulysses, we were supposed to make a monster, a story, and a gift to give to Ulysses to help him defeat the said monster. This was supposed to be a simple, one day project. I went all out and found PVC pipe that I had no idea that we had, bought wooden dowels, used up a whole roll of duct tape and half a can of gold spray paint to make this great sword. Since it was hollow (the main part was a length of pvc pipe) I took 3 pieces of chalk and scribbled on sand paper to make powder which I poured into the pipe and said that it was a magical elixer of death. I worked my ass off! For a twenty point project! Needless to say, I got full credit for it. But here's the kicker: there was a kid who was absent the day when the project was assigned. He came in the next day, watched a few people present, and said, "I'm ready to present now." His "gift" was one of his shoes that somehow shrank a monster and Ulysses uses the shoe to squish the monster or something. He also got an A+. See? So, I am working on my "perfection problem."

My sister is being frequently threatened by my dad, she wants to move back into my house with me and my mom, and my dad is being an all around ass-wipe as usual. The most recent event was: My sister got back from her friend's house drunk. She went home and when my dad started yelling at her for being drunk, she threatened him by saying that she has friends who will try and hurt him if he does anything to him. Now, she didn't mean this as a threat to him, she meant that she has friends who are convicts out of jail, murderers who she has been friends with for years who care very much about her, people who , if they hear what her dad does will find him and torture and/or kill him. Painfully. My dad took it as, "If you hurt me, I will have people kill you." He always takes things the wrong way. She doesn't want people to hurt him, in fact, if they do hurt him, she will be the one in trouble! She is warning him! Well, either way, my dad is a total bung-hole.

Well, for the punishment for coming home drunk, instead of saying that she cannot go to that kid's house, he said that she cannot visit my mom's house (my house) on the weekends! That's not a punishment! You are supposed to see your parents regularly! It's not a punishment or a reward, it's just what you do! It's in your rights as a parent to see your children, and that is a right that my dad just took away from my mom! So we thought, "Screw That!" This morning, we went and visited their house while my dad was gone! We got their and my dad left. As soon as he left, we pulled out a feast from the car. We bought a 5lb bag of tater-tots (my sister's favorite breakfast food), a bunch of Idian desserts from an asian store near our house, three boxes of sushi for lunch, and a Valentine's Day gift for her; 100 Years of Comic Strips. It's a great book and a good gift idea. We thought that it would give her something to read so that she doesn't have to deal with my dad as much. We also brought over a prety goodmove for her to watch. It's called "Together." It's about this kid in china who plays the violin really well and how his peasent dad tries to find him a violin teacher in Beijing. It works out because my sister plays the violin pretty well and we're chinese and stuff. It is in chinese with english subtitles. If you are interested in watching it, it is a pretty good movie, but is is kind of juvenille, a kiddy movie. But, it's good all the same.

I gotta go, more to come later!

Yeah, just finshing up my entry.

Life is pretty hectic, just started another project, I am studying da vinci and stuff. My visual aide = adapted (by me) version of the aerial screw flying-machine. Pretty sweet, no? Whatev, it;s gonna be freakin hard to build though, it'll probably end up as just a drawing, or something like, 10 inches tall made of popsicle sticks... well, I'll try. L8TER
