The Earphone Maneuver

Here is my Urban Dictionary definition.

Go give it a thumbs up.

I'm way too loud for my own good sometimes

Sometimes I forget how loud I am. There have been countless times when people tell me to keep my voice down because it's way too loud.  Something happened in my math class today that sparked my need to write about this, but let's go back to the past and recall some memorable times when this has happened.

Ms. Mukai's class. 8th grade. I think this was the moment that established my loudness. I remember I was "whispering" to this guy Luis during silent reading time, telling him that there was chalk on the back of his shirt. Apparently, my whisper was so loud that it could be heard on the opposite side of the classroom. (I sat on the far right, and people sitting on the far left side of the classroom were able to hear me.) Once silent reading time was over, my teacher told the class that we shouldn't talk at all during silent reading because some of us (she looked directly at me as she said "some of us") don't even know how to whisper.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Daisy was sitting in between Zack and me. Needless to say, we both wouldn't stop making dumb comments during the movie, nor would we stop play fighting. Not too much happened, but some chick sitting behind us told us to shut up, or mocked us, or something.

Beowolf. I decided to skip class with a few friends, like we normally would every other Monday of senior year.  We went to a little theater in Uptown Whittier. Anyway, I was there with my friends Jose, Mayra, Ricky, and Zack. Ricky was probably the only person louder than me sometimes. We were both making jokes during the movie, and then this lady that worked at the theater told Zack something along the lines of "If your friend doesn't quiet down, she's gonna have to leave and she's not getting a refund." Mayra even jokingly (I hope) moved a few seats away from Ricky and me because she didn't wanna be associated with such loud... beings. Ahahah.

Garfield High School Library. Zack and I were killing time at the library. We were sitting and talking when somebody in front of us says "You do realize you're in the library?" It was so hard to hold in a laugh and and not reply with something like "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize..." We joked about it the whole rest of the day.

Other times. Then there were occasional shushes we got from our Theater professor at ELAC, but nothing major. And other people telling my friend and I (usually directed at just me, though) to keep our voices down. There were some other examples of my loudness, but I can't think of them off the top of my head. Maybe I'll update this blog if/when I remember them.

Anyway...

Today. I was in my math class, talking to this guy Daniel. I was telling him about how this girl that sits in the front probably hates me because she's always giving me dirty looks. I swear, if you saw the way she looked at me, you'd think she's the Devil. (Except the Devil probably has straighter teeth.) Anyway... time passed by, I spent my time in that class taking notes and still talking to Daniel. All the while, that girl would turn around and give me the same look she always gave me. Finally, she got fed up with my voice. She turned around one final time and yelled "DO YOU MIND?!" I was gonna snap back at her, but I guess it's a good thing I didn't. About a quarter second after she yells at us, our professor says something along the lines of "In fact, why don't you two drop just the class? Better yet, I can drop it for you." I rolled my eyes, then Daniel said he'd just stop talking. At that point I was thinking fuck, I'm rude. Then I remembered I've always been like that and laughed to myself a little. As for my professor... Uhhh... fuck him. (I hope no one ever has.) Anyway, I think I proved my point to Daniel about that chick that sits in the front. She hates my guts!

Yet another pointless update

I haven't had time to post a real blog. The latest ones have sorta just been update/recap posts. This one is too. I don't even have a DailyBooth picture to go with it. Anyway, I have ideas for a few blogs so maybe I'll post them sometime this week. One will be a video blog, and the other will be just a blog. Before I make the vlog, though, I need UrbanDictionary to approve a word I just sent. haha.

Alright. It's almost 10pm on a Sunday night. I should start working on my homework.

Later, reader.

This week was meh.

Not much out of the ordinary.

Went to classes at ELAC, did some homework at the library, blah blah blah.

Friday, I went to the movies with Gerard and saw 17 Again for some reason. It was... awkward. After that, we went to the Montebello Town Center and tried on clothes and took photos, like always. hahaha. I like the way we matched, but Gap clothes are way too expensive.

Then I got so bored at 1am that I photoshopped our photos a bit. Here are the results:

I got a haircut yesterday. It's not that short but I prefer having long hair. (Short hair + fat face = VERY fat looking face!) My hair is sooo damaged, though! Now I want long, dark hair instead of blonde. I got tired of it.

It used to be this long:

Now it looks like this:

I don't even know if there's much of an obvious difference xD

Now I have to work on an essay, search for a few things for my English class, and write a profile on my Journalism professor. Ugh. I hate Sundays. They're all the same: church, food, internet, homework, shower, sleep.

Twitter!

Tweet tweet.

I made a new video blog.

Spring Break

Hello. I haven't felt like updating much. I kind of feel bad when I spend my time blogging when I know I have homework or something more productive to do. I had this idea for a video blog, but I haven't done that for the same reason. I feel kinda crappy about stuff now. Sometimes I end up getting nothing done at all. Like, on days when I don't feel like working on homework and would feel useless if I wrote a blog or made a vlog. Boy, those are the worst. At the end of the day I realize that I got nothing done and just feel like I wasted my day. (I think that's what my Tuesday felt like.)

I've realized I've been trying to avoid seeing people lately and I don't even know why.  Actually, I know why in some cases. For example, Timmy invited me to go to an SCPA show this weekend and I told him I was down to go. Then I remembered what Timmy is like when no one is around but me and him and decided against it.  But anyway, there were two other times this week when people want to hang out and I decided I don't want to. Sometimes I'd just rather be home nowadays. I don't know what that makes me. A loser? One who doesn't like to socialize? Nahh. I love socializing. People are great. I just don't know what it is that's made me not want to go out lately. I guess it's kinda cool, though. Now I'm not bitching about not being able to go out. I actually want to be home.
