It was. It was amazing.
What was amazing? Halloween night. Trick or treating. Friends. Singing. Akwardness. It was epic.
LIKE A G6.
We (I, Pipi, Alice, Bbj, Bluey, Linky and Sej) met together around 5 (I came late because my mom was baking a torte for my dad's bday, which is on Halloween. this is why I dont get a normal Halloween any year) at Pipi's house to T&T. Most of us were countries: I, BBj, Alice, and I guess we can accept Bluey and Pipi (blues was a fem!Japan and Pipi decided she was British Columbia - she was wearing an Asian looking thing, and since BC has a very large population of Asians, she decided so.) Alice and Caroline were there first, and we kinda hung around outside until I went to change, and then we hung around with America (ME :D) and Lichtenstein (Linky). Anita and I did weird things, Xtina (pipi- I feel like using her other name now) and Caroline(linky, but its easier using this) just hung around, took pics of us, I went daredevil and explored the outside of her - Xtina's - house. Id rather not specify exactly which weird things we did. >.< We were just weird. But because we did, the whole night was corrupt. To the fullest. Sej, Bbj, and Bluey came later. Bbj had an amazing closet cosplay of Sealand she could basically be a professional fem!Sealand. Sej and Bluey just kinda came in costumes, sej wearing a vampireishscary costume, and Bluey wearing a sinthetic kimono. She looked good netherless.
I should really be sleeping right now. Ill continue this in the morning. I didnt do any of my huge pile of homework - Econ short answers, English essay, math problem set... oh boy. And I didnt feel like doing any of it. >.<
I need my sleep in order to not die tomorrow in school. Lol, wearing a wig, glasses, and an army military makes you a totally different person.
M&Ms are now a food almost as obscene as bananas. But theyre hilarious too. XD
Good night folks. Or morning. Or day. Idk. Ill continue this later.

Html, Stars, Pictures, etcetc...
This post was supposed to be happy: I was planning on writing it a week ago, when I first got my 'official new job,' writing HTML codes for my art teacher's website to update it and whatnot. Ill be practicing HTML on the way while posting this as well, btw, in order to practice. Life was going excellently: I did well on my first couple trimester exams, it got colder outside, blah blah.... I felt the need to psot a happy-post. Unfortunately, i couldnt bring myself to sit down and type it. Turns out blogging isnt as easy as it was a year ago. I cant believe that a whole year has passed since I posted about my amazing Halloween in Denver with my relatives. Ive changed so much since then... I feel like a more dynaaamiiiiiccc character now, compared to my stockness before.
Continuing, this week as 'Spirit Week' at basis. It was awesome, though I officially dressed only today, the last day. We had disney day, decade day, college, formal, ending with the most awesome day of all: costume day. The Friday before Halloween. I, keeping my word since August 28th, dressed as a Hero: AMERICAAAAA!!!
Once I get pictures from my friends Ill post them on here. ;) Alice was China, Pipi was a Canada, Bbj, unable to recieve her Hungary costume on time, wore last-year's costume, a pirate (whom we called 'Neotalia Pirate!Iggy, cuz we're awesome like that), linky wore a long blonde wig with a black dress adn called herself a 're-done-Lichtenstein', and Aarthi wore her last-year's kimono (and we called her Neotalia Traditional!Japan, cuz were epic like that) In total, Alice Pipi and I were boss. To say how boss we were, we got recognized by some upper-schoolers, took pictures, blah blah. I was told that, in my wig, I made a very attractive boy. So much that Sophia and Taylor wanted to ask me out to the Halloween dance tonight, but then recognized me.
---OMG IM BREAKING THIS BUT KIRILL DECIDED TO COME IN AND GIVE ME THIS CHOCOLATE EUROPEAN EGG WITH A TOY INSIDE AND I LOVE THEM AND OMG IM PEELING OFF THE FOIL AND ITS AMAZING AND OMGGGGGGGG---------
Yes, as so I felt boss: sweaty, itchy, dirty, but plain boss for most of the day. Of course, I wuda been even more so, but Ive been getting more and more sick this coming week, so much that it hurts to yell and scream like I used to, adn when I try, I end up sounding like a dying old chicken. No joke. I have witnesses.
But my wig was perfect (a bit too messy, Nantucket-nonexistent and with a small uncorrectable mohawk, but perfect otherwise), my bomber-jacket was nonexistent, my military outfit was actually my dad's old army uniform (with a sewn-on US flag where his regimen name was and pins covering the Russian lettering on the front), my shoes were also dad's (I accidently took the new shoes which he bought the night before to wear to an appointment today, but I took them, and I was so uber-careful to wear them all the time to avoid scratches and bumps and spills and whatnot), my glasses' lens fell apart in French right before the fire-drill (but I put them back together successfully!!! >:D), and I got mistaken for a guy insane-amounts of times, but thats ok. I was America, I got hugged by random Uppoerschoolers (cuz Im AWESOME), got photographed (not as much as I wuda wanted, but enough netherless) by random Upperschoolers, got asked out 2 more times as a guy than as a girl (lol, Ive NEVER been asked out before).
Lol I just found this on the internet. Ah, dear Internet how we love youuuu.....
XDXD CONTINUING!! I got to see Alice much less today, which definatly mad ehte day mucho more dull. Its much more fun meeting someone who asks, 'Who are you?' and answering 'Im America!' and the person next to you says 'Im China!' than just going 'Im America!', ya know?
Anyways... NAWWWW ITS TIME FOR BED. OH NOEZ.

Not a Happy Wednesday
Today was definitely meant to be a happy Wednesday: I woke up on time, slept a good amount, and woke up again, once again at a good time (dont ask me how this happened). I wore the colors of Canada, red and white, with my Canadian tuke (beanie) that my parents brought home from their trip to Vancouver this summer. I pinned my 'Canada' pin onto my Hogwarts jacket in order to feel truly awesome. In addition to this, Gilbert (another name for Alice/Anita) and I vandalized Brist's board, Canadian themed of course, after school the day before. :) It was meant to be an awesome day, which it was for some parts.
No one wore Canadian colors that day except for Caroline, who wore dark red and off-white on whim, but I didnt care. Turns out that red and white arent colors people can find in their closets. :/ I ate 3 doughnuts (or is it donuts?) in the morning during art, when we were doing critiques of each other's works (we went outside and using charcoal, drew something. I drew a saguaro and the mountain behind it, with a blurry weird thing in front which looks cool.). I probobly sounded arrogant since I didnt find as many mistakes in my drawing as others did, but who cares! I truly didnt see anything wrong, except the mountain which I overworked in the background. But my drawing has a real contemporary look which not many had. Other drawing were epic tho: this girl made her branches absolutely amazing, with her gradient-like lights and shadows, others had incredible detail and non-cactus subjects, and this dude was drawing these flowers in incredible fairy-like detail. Those flowers were amazing. Physics passed epically: we watched a video of this bridge falling apart and wriggling as if it was rubber (ITS INCREDIBLE). Now, whenever we see something wriggling weirdly, we say, 'just like the physics bridge.' I didnt eat the fourth donuts I took, instead saving it for later (I ate half in both English and History).
Chemistry passed weirdly: I found out we had a quiz on precipitation adn I was absolutely freaking out. I almost didnt finish the test on time, yet I still got a 82, which is EPIC by my standards. An 82!! Can you believe it?!? And I didnt even study!! XDXD But I know I have to study ALOT to get a good grade (a B or higher) on the Chem Trimester Exam coming up... >.<
For some reason Im not sad anymore because of this song:
http://www.aimini.net/view/?fid=Jh90Be9PA4m4Gn04fZhf
I hated this song, but while typing this I needed a pick me up AFJ-style so I found this... thing. I ahted WDC World Dancing before (I mean, really? An 80s beat? Fail.) but right now, because of its slow tempo, I felt that it was hte song I could write an emo post about. But alas, I was wrong. AFJ is an overly happy guy that makes me feel happy too. :) Alfred, I love you. <3
Washi-iington DEEECEEEE, DEEECEEE, OH OH!!
Well, the point of this post was to be all emo and fail, how much I failed at being an AFJ, since our personalitites are supposed to be similar, but I get it that Im much too timid to be America. I care about what other people think, even though I wish I didnt (I remember events in 4th grade where I embarrassed myself profusely and find myself hiding my face involuntarily in whatever I find), I have horrible leadership skills if I ahve to lead people who arent my friends (Ive tried - it never works), I would much rather sit in peace and not make trouble - although I do get really worked up and I do make war when Im ticked off. Its always in your best interests not to tick me off if you value your conscience. My 'long' temper does not last that long (ask my town members at Euroclub - I made war on the day before I left, being the absolute most Gryffindor/America I could think of. I literally fought for race equality. My passion for it got to such levels I was elected mayor for the day the next day - but unfortunatly I left sick adn was too weak to carry out my duties).
I was in such a bad mood during the van ride home I didnt talk the last few minutes to avoid making my bad mood inflicted on Gilbert and Mattie (Alice and Xtina). They were having a great time. They were friends for an incredible time. I was alone, sitting in the corner as they enjoyed their PruCan moment (since it was also act-like-a-fanfic-day. this was a horrible idea because alice and i were supposed to be fighting over xtina, but I understood that I jsut dont have the awesomness that was meant out of my character - the US and Prussia were meant to be in equal terms of awesome, but in different styles: America was supposed to be overly positive happy, which Prussia is supposed to be the 'Im-awesome-youre-not' type. Too accuratly our personalities are personified. But the thing is, I get beaten down real easily because III care too much about world opinion, being hte idiot i am. During debates, words dont come out of the mouth teh way theyre supposed to. Stuff doesnt work the right way, or I just end up looking like an idiot. I guess thats the problem then. The bad thing is that I kinda get it into my head, that I look like an idiot and immediately stop fighting. *starts crying out of... something* I just stop fighting. And it annoys me because I know I should still be up there, still trying to prove my point, but my ideas dont come out correctly, and... I dont know. But thats when I just loose my feeling of epicness adn I want to wallow in the dumps and listen to a depressing song adn nom and nom until I feel decent. Which is what I basically did today. I started crying when I was walking from the van station to home, adn when home, I didnt ring the doorbell like I normally do. I just opened hte door with my key and decided to walk in unnoticed. my lunch box started leaking earlier that day, so I quickly ran to the abthroom and started wahsing my lunchbox while crying and ranting inside my head how I should change my character and blah blah blah and how Ill type it up and regret it later, and more idiotic ideas... which I tried to type up here but got distracted by teh awesomness of the Hero: Americaaaa!!
Then I understood that this post had no use. And I have no use for it. But alas, I must post it so I shall. It would be weird to just wallow up in despair: now I have an awesome song to listen to, a white chocolate bar that is almsot gone (MMM WHITE CHOCOLAAATEEE!!!), and a feeling of happy equilibrium.
I have a certain degree of respect for the 'popular' group at school. They dont care what others think, they have no idea, or some idea, about what others think of them... I sorta respect them for that. Im too... something to be that. Ive tried. But the only place I can do that is when I ahve support from my friends - this is the reason I was failing at being a leader last year. Sure, I was the sortakindaalmostish leader of the hyenas: but thats nothing. ah well. This is a different year.
I now understand why people want to go to another school. In basis, our status, friends, title... everyhting is determined already. Those who have fallen want to escape it. The school. It was nice in Russia during the summer, where no one knew what I was capable of and hte only prejustice held against me was my American accent and origins. Aside from that, I was free to do waht I wanted and be who I wanted: the American girl who was positive, leader-like when she knew what she was doing, loud, obedient to the counselors she liked, impulsive, naive, hording, etc etc. I kinda want to be that person again. Alas, that is not possible. :/
Heh. Turns out this is an emo psot after all. Ive stopped crying tho. And Im ready to search some more fanfiction about the awesomeness of America to boost up my epicmeter.
Ive just realized that none of this psot explained what Im emo about. Whatever. Oh well.
HAVE A FUN WEEKEND EVERYONE!!!
Keep on eating pasta, be an Austrian aristocrat, watch for UFOs and Tony, love the whole World. Because....
CAN YOU FEEL IT?
ITS THE WHOLE WORLD.
AND IT TOTALLY LOVES YOU.
:D

29 Gifts
Ive recently read an amazing book my the name of 29 Gifts, a book about how a challenge made a woman diagnosed with a horrible disease turn her life around. Ive just finished this book, and have decided to join up with the site that was in the book and I want to join the 29 Day Challenge. The challenge goes as this:
My synopsis: You give mindfully, fully, for 29 days, never missing a day, to see change happen in your life and the lives of those around you. You dont forget a day, you dont give without reason, resentfulness, absolutely fully and openly.
The synopsis from the book flap (which Im copying right now):
Also, I want to change the community in which we live in. In the book, Cami had become more social, happy (oh, I feel as if this word is becoming overused nao), deep... You get the point. She had created a movement centered on giving - And I have now joined it.
This movement is centered on this site:
http://www.29gifts.org/
This site was talked about on the book, and the design was also spoken of, and not little. I imagined the design with a tree and a bird: and I found out that that tree and that bird actually exists: as well as Cami and Mbali and Mark and every other person who existed in the book. Its amazing.
These people started a movement geared towards giving and receiving, but in the resentful, ambitious, courteous way: giving from the heart and from the soul.
It way sound a little... unbelieving at first, but remember who youre reading this from. I am an avid follower of many spiritual exercises, such as The Secret, wabi sabi, and now I shall join in with the 29 Gift Challenge. Btw, bury me with other spiritual stuff in the comments below if you feel like it. :) All of these processes, such as the Secret, ahve helped me and many others so much in life. If you dont know what the Secret is, go Google it or something. I highly recommend watching the movie or reading the book though. The Secret for Teens and The Power are also good. The Secret and wabi sabi have worked for me, and I choose to try out another way of thinking. I can never have too many ways to happiness. :)
Also, I find that I have a rather large impact on my community, my table, the people at school with whom I interact with. If I change my way of thinking to the positive, grateful way of thinking, which includes giving small gifts from the soul, other people will latch on and spread the word. I believe in this ripple-effect. After all, obsessions work the same way. Shelks on Buzz got my friends and me accicted to Hetalia (and the addiction has not waned yet - were still reading history books like fanfics), and sooner or later, the 8th grade knows which songs were singing during lunch and what those characters we draw on teh board mean. Or somewhat mean. At least nthey knows it Hetalia-related (oh, and btw, Brist will watch Hetalia tonight and tell us the verdict on it tomorrow. Who else's esxcited?? XDXDXDXD). Sure, some people oppose this ripply of fangirldom, like those sticks and stones in a pond. But sooner or later they will join us too.
I know that this will change my life as I know it. Starting with tomorrow: Day 1 of the 29-Gift-Giving Challenge.
Stay bright and strong everyone!
Calli
My synopsis: You give mindfully, fully, for 29 days, never missing a day, to see change happen in your life and the lives of those around you. You dont forget a day, you dont give without reason, resentfulness, absolutely fully and openly.
The synopsis from the book flap (which Im copying right now):
Then, as a remmedy for her condition, Cami recieved an uncommon perscription from a friend, an African medicine woman named Mbali Creazzo: Give away 29 Gifts in 29 Days. "By giving," Mbali told her, "you are focusing on what you ahve to offer others, inviting more abundance into your life." These gifts, she said, could be anything, but their giving had to be both authentic and mindful. At least one gift needed to be something she felt was scarce in her life.This book is amazing, and every story I read about it seems amazing, and even though Im already living a pretty bountiful and happy life (no, really, look at my previous posts), I dont feel that therse a limit to happiness (this also relates to a wellness magazine I read not long ago... No really. All the magazines in my house are either wellness or travel :/). I believe that this challenge will increase my happiness even further.
Also, I want to change the community in which we live in. In the book, Cami had become more social, happy (oh, I feel as if this word is becoming overused nao), deep... You get the point. She had created a movement centered on giving - And I have now joined it.

I am an avid follower of many spiritual exercises, such as The Secret, wabi sabi, and now I shall join in with the 29 Gift Challenge. Btw, bury me with other spiritual stuff in the comments below if you feel like it. :) All of these processes, such as the Secret, ahve helped me and many others so much in life. If you dont know what the Secret is, go Google it or something. I highly recommend watching the movie or reading the book though. The Secret for Teens and The Power are also good. The Secret and wabi sabi have worked for me, and I choose to try out another way of thinking. I can never have too many ways to happiness. :)
Also, I find that I have a rather large impact on my community, my table, the people at school with whom I interact with. If I change my way of thinking to the positive, grateful way of thinking, which includes giving small gifts from the soul, other people will latch on and spread the word. I believe in this ripple-effect. After all, obsessions work the same way. Shelks on Buzz got my friends and me accicted to Hetalia (and the addiction has not waned yet - were still reading history books like fanfics), and sooner or later, the 8th grade knows which songs were singing during lunch and what those characters we draw on teh board mean. Or somewhat mean. At least nthey knows it Hetalia-related (oh, and btw, Brist will watch Hetalia tonight and tell us the verdict on it tomorrow. Who else's esxcited?? XDXDXDXD). Sure, some people oppose this ripply of fangirldom, like those sticks and stones in a pond. But sooner or later they will join us too.
I know that this will change my life as I know it. Starting with tomorrow: Day 1 of the 29-Gift-Giving Challenge.
Stay bright and strong everyone!

Oh, Happy, Happy World...
What a jolly little world we ahve these days. Some may disagree, some may see it horribly. I see it sometimes like that too. But at other times I feel as if nothing oculd ruin my overjoyfullness and make me even a decimal point less than I am now.
This is ssuch a moment.
I jsut want to scream, take my BuildACoyote Luke, grab hands wiht my friends, and spin around and around and around til I fall down and choke on my pit laughing.
I dont know why. I guess its just that God willed onhe glorious happy moment before i fell asleep. Oh boy, that sure reminds me. Im tired. >.<
Which is why Im going to sleep. Only after chatting with Alice some moar. XD

Cosplay Unity
Ive been watching tons of videos of Hetalia (look it up on wiki: ive been extremely obsessed with it for a rather long time nao (2 months) while Im not here, but my friends are working on making Hetalia a school thing, not a 'group' thing) videos with cosplayers of different countries. And all I can say is that I want the same experience.
This keyboard makes my hands die. I hate it but I shall continue typing. >.< Alice, Xtina, and I have decided to cosplay nations this Halloween, being China, Canada, and USA respectivaly. Imagine me, walking around the school wearing http://media.photobucket.com/image/america%20hetalia/KittyNekkyo/axis-powers-hetalia-9.jpg , waving a humongous American flag, Xtina walking around wearing THIS, hugging her polar bear tight with a Canadian flag, looking shy, Alice will be wearing THIS waving a flag of the People's Republic of China... And none of our outfits are perfect - I think that Alice has the most accurate one). Bbj said she'll join us looking like Hungary, since Hungary looks so much liker her. :)
And if you guys are confused, those who dont know me in real life wouldnt know about Hetalia. *deep breath* Hetalia: Axis Powers is a webcomic turned manga turned anime where each character is a human representation of a country. This character is based on a stereotype of that country (China, for example, loves pandas), the country's history (Switzerland is an aggressive little dude who is known for shooting anything out of his garden and cares very much for his little sister Lichtenstein), and on the alliances that the country made (the alliance between Japan and Greece is sometimes thought of as love. France supports this (France is a lovey-dovey pervert)). Every country has his/her own personality, and based on the personality, my friends and I labeled each one of our friends (except for Caitlyn, an anti-Hetalia who has such a strange mixed un-Hetalia-like personality we decided she's he world) as a Hetalia character.
Im America, because of my outgoing personality, loudness, obnoxiousness (its a real word, according to spell check), and how I get really crazy ideas that never work. Xtina got Canada, since shes the quiet little person in teh back row who wishes to be called upon but is always ignored (no literally, in Hetalia, no one notices Canada since he's invisible or they just mistake him for America, since theyre identical twins, but real fangirls know how to tellt hem apart by their expressions). At first Alice was a Italy, China, France mix, but then she decided to cosplay China for Halloween, and we realized that her personality is nothing like China. We decided only on Friday, once Anita was acting like America high on sugar except its Anita on RuChu (RussiaxChina) fanfics, that Anita's personality is most like Prussia. Just like I realized I was America ( I kept on calling myself 'the hero' afterwards), Anita now calls herself 'the awesome me.' Here's a pic of Prussia the epic: http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs49/f/2009/231/2/c/Chibi_Prussia___Hetalia_by_Yami_Chan4.jpg Its rather scary how we didnt realize her nation only after 2 months of obsessing!!!

Back to the topic of enviousness. I watched these teens, dressed up as various contries, just acting like their personalities and having fun. And as I watched that, I realized that I wont have the same fun. For one: theyre in places other than the Phoenix metropolian area. For two: My parents done have enough time to drive me around these various cons, with me dressed up as a cheeseburger loving idiot with my friends. However, they ahve let me buy one thing for my Halloween cosplay, which is a wig. And the wig looks awesome. :D
Im just watching this and thinking that, hey, Ill probobly never experience stuff as fun as this:
And one of the most annoying things is that theyre in places where instead of trees adn rain you get cacti and an unforgiving sun. At times like this I wish i moved to Texas or something. I mean, the atmosphere in these videos are just like the atmosphere when I was in Texas with Shelks: full of cold, biting cold, but fun. Immensley fun.
I have a feeling that once it gets cold here (in this place by the name of the Phoenix metropolian area), Id regret my words. Since its as awesome as Prussia here. I cant wait for the cold to come. Just cant wait.
But while Im waiting for he glorious North American and English holiday of Halloween, I might as wellteach my friends the game up above and hope that a ton of people will join us. :) And then we'll (the Hetalia-obsessors) burst into singing this and this:
danng it, the second video doesnt ahve the English translation. Oh well. You guys get the point.
I LOVE HETALIA.
CAN YOU FEEL IT??? ITS THE WHOLE WORLD.
AND IT TOTALLY LOVES YOU.
Be happy, eat your pasta/hamburger/origiri/wurst/pancakes/England's cooking, help Italy throw a grenade the right way, remember who's Canada (wait, who?), play with Lithuania, love the Earth, and wave a white flag. :)
