tiring tuesday

I just got back from Bandarama, an annual musical performance that includes music students from all the schools in the district. Little kids and big kids, haha. Yes, I am a dork and I play the violin. I used to play the flute too, but I quit. Thank goodness it wasn't too long, because it used to drag on forever.

But anyways, I'm pretty exhausted for some reason. I think I need more sleep. I have two quizzes to study for tonight though. Not very exciting.

You know what is exciting though? Our school's boy basketball team made it to the state finals!! I'm not that big on school sports, but I do have some school pride.

Somehow that reminded me that I have to wear red and black tomorrow for our class picture. Then I also have to pay for the millions of senior activities...well, my mom has to.

I guess I'll go study now. Boo.

i'm a barbie girl

I'm actually not. But - Barbie is 50 years old today...and she doesn't look a day over 18.


[The original Barbie; The 50th Anniversary Barbie]

I only knew this because she kept showing up in my magazines - it's fascinating how popular this disproportionate doll is.

For the big 5-0, there are several stores that are selling limited-edition Barbie merchandise. Bloomingdale's and Fred Segal has apparel and accessories, and Stila teamed up with Barbie to make a special set of makeup.

So, Happy Birthday Barbie. Maybe you'll actually look 50 when you turn 100. But I doubt it.

freaky friday

How strange.

I think it might be the first Friday since summer that I haven't spent with my boyfriend. He always picked me up after school. But today, he's in New York with a friend.

My sister is on her way to California right now for spring break. I'm very jealous, cause I want warm weather right about now. Everyone's away!!!


[Playing with the webcam again]

I'm just gonna sit here, watch TV, and read my new Cosmo.

Maybe I'll also try to be productive and do some homework.
