Extreme Dayz

I've been planning to write about something very serious, but I'm not really in the mood to do it right now. But I did make some kewl new avatars!

All of them came from tobyMac's music video, Extreme Days. Which is apparently part of a movie too! If you wanna listen to the song, it's the last one on my playlist =)

Frail

If I was not so weak/ If I was not so cold/ If I was not so scared of being broken growing old/ I would be/ I would be/ I would be/ ...Frail

Can't Sleep

It's like 2 am and I can't sleep. My stomach aches =(

By the way, I got a new haircut on Friday! Now I have bangs on my forehead... I just can't figure out which way to part them. The poofiness kind of reminds me of an 80s haircut, which is totally cool in my opinion. My hair is known for being unruly and poofy. Thank goodness the bangs softened and stopped poking me in the eyes!

My family went to the library today (well I guess technically yesterday since it's early Sunday) and we got an awesome MercyMe CD. I can't believe I've never heard of some of these songs! If I can find them I'll add them to the playlist.

Nonoke is also awake too. Turn that Pokemon music off woman!! no no jk. maybe. I mean that in the most positive way.

Well I guess my layout isn't as bright as I thought it was. Thanks to all my supporting friends=)
I'm hoping to update a lot more before school starts. Only 2 1/2 more weeks!!!

Added A LOT of tobyMac songs to the playlist. I never really listened to his stuff until this summer, but now I love it! Make sure you check out Feelin so fly~ It's on the top of the list heh heh.

On Sunday me, Narumi, and Nonoke went to this awesome Asian festival. There were a lot of vendors there selling things like jewelery and clothes, mainly Thai and Indian stuff. Narumi's mom bought me this super delicious fried banana! It was so so so good, but Nonoke wouldn't try it!! >=( Then we went to watch some performances. There was this one act with dancing Chinese dragons... it was so cool yet SO embarassing!! I'm not one of those people who likes it when the performers come down into the audience, so you can imagine my fear when the dragons started wandering around the area where we were. Of course they were just people in dragon suits, but me and Nonoke didn't want to get near them. Anti-social much, aren't we? XD So when one of the dragons started coming near, she and I squeezed past some chairs and a table to avoid it. Everybody started laughing, but at the time I didn't know why. Apparently, the dragon came up RIGHT BEHIND me when me and Nonoke were escaping!! So everyone saw me in my flight of terror... XD Kind of funny when you think about it. Narumi got some good pictures of the performers, but she missed that part. THANK GOODNESS. There was also a karate demonstration and some dancing. I think I like Indian pop... their accents rock!!
After that we walked over to the Chinese section, where there were these awesome Chinese yo-yos! You'd be surprised to know that they're made of hard metal... one of them flew off the string and gave Narumi's mom a bruise on her foot! I fail at Chinese yo-yos, it's so hard to keep them on the strings. But it was really cool to watch people use them correctly. Nearby there was this man doing calligraphy for free! That's where this layout came from. Heehee.
I really wanted to buy all of the beautiful necklaces at the Indian vendors, but they weren't as cheap as I expected. I know I know... $5-$10 is pretty cheap, but I was hoping for like... $1 things. Just like it is in Asia, because US money is worth a lot over there. I ended up buying these really pretty hair clips (they were just a dollar, yay!).
