So today, I woke up at 9h00, got up at 9h15, and was ready to leave at 10h30. Warm clothing included jeans, hoodie, arm warmers, beanie cap, and bandanna :P Kept me quite warm.
Lisa picked me up around 11h15. Got to Logitech Ice (Sharks Ice) around 11h35. Albert and Christine were already there. Got caught up with them; it's been quite a while since we actually hung out. Amy wasn't there because she was sick ): Sad.
So the four of us went in and paid $12 to skate and to rent skates. At first, we all got the regular blue skates. They felt weird and made me feel like I was out of balance. Even when I wasn't on the ice. Felt weird that the blades weren't straight on the shoes but slightly diagonal. Most of the weight had to be placed on the outside of my foot. Skated like that for a while. But Albert and I couldn't get it very well haha. So we switched to hockey skates 'cause I'm relatively more comfortable with those.
Got to skate for about two hours. Ankles hurt because of the first pair of skates. Knee hurt a bit because I was straining for balance throughout the session haha. Realized my right hockey skate was rubbing too much against the back of my calf. Sat down and checked it. Rubbed raw T-T but only a small area. Took off one of my arm warmers and cushioned the back of my leg, but it still stung a little ):
During the skating, I talked with everyone a bit. About school, graduation, the shooting in Tucson, etc.
Anyway, we were done skating at 13h30. Decided to go to lunch, but took a while to decide where. Drove to the nearest plaza. Because we weren't making a decision haha, I said, "Ok, someone, take a step in a direction toward food." Christine took a step and led us to Panera Bread XD Yay, sandwiches haha. I got a hot panini (tomato and mozarella on ciabatta bread), an apple, and an iced chai tea latte. Tasty and healthy :D Haha Lisa got extra chicken noodle soup for free. Why does she keep getting free food? >_>
Hm, I wonder if it's always gonna rain every time we go ice skating haha. It rained on the day we went ice skating last year too.
Anyway, I was home by 15h00. Early haha.
Today was fun :)

Yay for Winchesters!
I wish I could come up with creative entry titles all the time haha, but I'm not that creative XP
So, I haven't been doing too much since 2011 started. Didn't hang out with anyone. Skyped with Shiva every day. Did not get up early except for the first day of the year XD Also slowly working on my term paper for SOCI 116, but only because Shiva won't give me kisses if I don't finish by Friday ;-;
Anyway, Shiva came back to SJ yesterday. I asked D to pick her up. He obliged :D
Mother, D, and I drove around SJ for a while. Looked at homes, or rather neighborhoods. Mother wants to move this year, after we get Brother a room and he gets settled in. I'm game for moving, I guess. I mean I want to move out of this house 'cause Mother has problems with the landlady and I'd rather live closer to campus. But the hard part is finding a good place. Mother wants to move to North SJ or Milpitas. I'm cool with that as long as there's a light rail stop nearby. Mother also wants a spacious house, which is difficult to find especially if we're looking at two-bedroom homes. Not very often that you find a two-bedroom house. So we're looking at apartments that are in the so-called style of a townhouse. Fun.
Anyway, around 16h00, the three of us went to In N Out to eat a quick meal before driving to the airport. While waiting for the food, I saw Maggie's little brother Tommy haha. I thought, "Why does this lil kid look so familiar? ... Ohh, hey, that's Maggie's brother." Yeaah, anyway, the food was good :P
Around 17h05, Shiva finally called. Such a long delay :O Kept me waiting in anticipation XP Got to the airport and picked Shiva up :) Back to campus. Yay for sleepover!
Shiva gave me a gift :D in a Powerpuff Girls lunchbox haha. When I first opened it, I saw a pair of scissors haha. Yay, because I needed a new pair. Got lost in the tissue paper for a bit. Then got to the gift :) A pair of matching black Winchester folding pocket knives. One for her, one for me :3 Pretty sweet. Even sweeter was that she took time to put our first initials on them with silver Fimo Effect (polymer clay).
Sadly, airport security apparently took out the contents to check them, probably because it looked like a suspicious metal box in the luggage. Haha they probably thought Shiva was a threat since she was carrying two knives and a pair of scissors (and pepper spray) in her luggage XD They f'ed up the zipper on her luggage though ): And they broke off part of the initials on one of the knives >_< How rude. But Shiva said she'd fix it :3
But yeah, such an amazing gift, yeah? :3 Her parents think she's a crazy delinquent for buying knives and scissors for me XD haha. These are thoughtful gifts, in my opinion. I appreciate them wholeheartedly :) Haha sadly, the only gifts I gave her were two pieces of origami art that I did a few days earlier (first time, so they're not very impressive haha), a crane and a you-and-me heart. They weren't even on red paper XP A yellow-orange paper heh ^_^;
Back to last night, Harrison and Michelle W came over. Harrison bought plain yogurt for Shiva, so that she could make rava, which I still can't pronounce >_> A lot of yogurt in that; it was too sour for me until Shiva added sugar, which is not a normal ingredient for rava XP Taste was interesting. Not my preferred taste, but it was ok.
The four of us watched movies because we didn't know what else to do. First, tried to watch Iron Man 2, D's copy, but the audio didn't work -_- Next, "How To Train Your Dragon," D's copy, except it started skipping toward the climax of the movie -_- So Michelle went to her dorm and brought up her copies of HTTYD and "Inception." Toothless is adorable, especially when he tries to smile, even if he's just an animation haha. Watching "Inception" the second time was good. Got the first fifteen or so minutes of the movie. Helped understand a few things a lil better. Haha Harrison fell asleep through most of the middle of the movie; Shiva fell asleep during the last half of the movie XP But that's ok because she was sleeping in my arms :3
Finished around 1 in the morning. Harrison and Michelle left. I washed dishes. Shiva and I eventually went to sleep... I dunno when though.
This morning, woke up kinda early. Got up before noon. Ate breakfast. Watched "Speak." Went to the mail room and then the school bookstore to check if there were any books for our classes. Then I went home ): Sad. Shiva's going to Santa Cruz tomorrow morning for Leadership Today. She'll be back on Friday. In the meantime, I must get my paper done -nods- Then on Friday, hopefully, we'll go eat and karaoke with Kat, Andrew, and other people.
Anyway, yeah, that's all that I can think of right now about what's happened. Tomorrow, I'm going ice skating with Amy, Lisa, Christine, Albert, and maybe a few other people. I don't know for sure. Lisa's giving me a ride. It's been about year since I last went ice skating. With Amy, Lisa, and Christine haha. Sad that Shiva won't be here to join us ): Another time -nods-
I can't believe there's like only two weeks left till I'm back in school -_- Break is going so fast. I'm not sure I feel prepared to go back to school in two weeks. I need more break. Maybe I should stop staying up so late XD

I didn't fall :D
Mmmm, pomegranate ^__^ Yum!
So today, around 11h00, Lisa drove Amy, Christine, and me to Sharks Ice. We were there for about an hour and a half. Skated for maybe half that time. Spent the other half sitting, talking, strutting, posing, taking photos, recording a silly video haha. Apparently, Amy really is going to put the video on YouTube -_- Just silliness, no substance. Some laughter at my expense.
The ice got choppy, and I kept tripping. Then again, I always lose my balance on the ice. I didn't fall though :) I may have went sideways, backwards, and all over the place, almost running into Lisa a few times. But I did not fall. So that was different. And I'm still just used to hockey skates. I like those better haha. Regular skates are hard for me to balance in. More so than in hockey skates.
Ah, the lil boy in the hockey gear was sooo cute haha. And soo much better at skating than any of us XP The old lady with the lavender helmet was also better than me haha. She was taking a one-on-one lesson. You know, I had thought private lessons were actually private, but I guess not.
Oh, and Amy dissed Owl City D: She said it was the gayest music she'd ever heard T-T haha. How mean. I told her I liked Owl City. The way the music makes me feel kinda nostalgic. Apparently, she doesn't like "nostalgia" ): haha.
After the ice time, we all went to Panera Bread. Good stuff. Lisa got a second sandwich for free because her first sandwich had mustard and mayo in it :P Though, she had never specified that she didn't want them included haha. Eh, free food :P And you know I would have gotten an apple instead of chips, but all I heard was chips, apples, and something. When I heard "apple," I thought I must have heard wrong so I got the chips. Baked chips are good.
After Panera, we spent a while in Ross and Off Broadway Shoes. Hm, I think I may buy sneakers when I replace my current shoes. Skater shoes are awesome, but I kinda wanna start jogging or something haha. And I can't do shit in my Fallen shoes. Well, unless I learn how to skateboard haha.
Hm, we spent a while in Lisa's car because we didn't know what to do next. It was only 15h00. And you know, it didn't rain all that much this morning. However, when we decided to go to Amy's house, rain started pouring, and lightning brightened the sky.
Then Mother called, yelled, wanted me home. So Lisa drove me home.
Turns out Mother was angry because Comcast sent us a second bill -_- with a late fee. Even though, I canceled Comcast two months ago. Re-canceled it a month later. So I had to drive Mother down to the Comcast office near Sharks Ice to fix the problem. The whole time, she was yelling at me like it was my fault that the Comcast people didn't do their jobs correctly. Well, more like she blamed me for not going to the Comcast building the first time around -_- Like I would know that Comcast didn't follow through on anything. We found out from the representative at the office that the canceling was still being processed because someone typed it in but didn't complete the process. Twice? I guess so. Must be a trend within the company.
So if we don't get our refund in three weeks, we get to come back to the office and complain.
After this, I drove Mother around some more. Now I'm home.
On the radio, there was a catchy song playing on 92.3. Can't believe I had never heard it before today.
I can't put up the actual music video because the embedding codes are all disabled. But yeah, catchy, yeah?
Also, check your bread before you eat it -nods- Never know. Could be moldy. Or not.
Seven days... Seven days... I was totally thinking of "Ringu," not the fact that semester starts in a week -grins and nods- Amy practically reprimanded me for saying, "Seven days..." She didn't want to be reminded of school XP
Oh, and I forgot. Sad stuff, but yeah. The kid who was stabbed (I already said this) was my friend's cousin. I found out on Sunday from Ayana that one of the kids who stabbed him was the brother of one of my other friends :/ Why all this depressing shit happens, I don't fuckin' know. But life goes on, doesn't it?
Ah, I ended such a nice entry with such a sad thought. Meh..
