Love, trackie

Track season.

is finally...

OVAH!!!

("over", not "ovary".)

Does saying "finally" imply that I wanted it to end? I didn't mean for it to, but it's somewhat true I guess. Unlike XC, track season usually slowly dies down because only SOME people make it to finals, then SOME people make it to CIF Prelims, then SOME people make it to CIF Finals. The track family slowly dwindles down until the team consists of 6 sweaty boys and a coach who's is closely identified with fried chicken.

Anyway(s), I gotta recap the last few meets before I forget! I'll try to use as many analogies as I can to not lose you non-trackies.

League Prelims (Gahr)
400m - I don't run the 400! Well I'm not supposed to anyway. Time: 57 flat. Gross slow EEWW!
200m - Yeah I run the 200... but I didn't do too hot. Bad start + LOOSE SHOE!? Every step with my right foot slowed me dooowwwn, sucks more than lollipops.

No relays for prelims.

I gotta tell ya guys, I wanted to run the 100m so badly. I probably could've scored some points, AND, I love running the 100! But I didn't sign up for it. Sad. It's like wanting some curly fries but realizing you ordered just the regular kind of french fries! Yeah, it'll get you full, BUT IT'S NOT AS GOOD! Not as toasty!

Oh some bad news! Alvin was disqualified for the 400 and Albert ran half his race before he realized he was called back for a false start.

League Finals (GAHr)
4x1 relay - First leg YES AWESOME START! Medal HUHAH!
400m - I didn't pace well. Hey, Sattik caught me after 100 meters... but I did alright. Felt horrible, but did alright. Time: 55.9?(!)
4x4 relay - Oh wait I didn't run it. HAHA. I was supposed to, but honestly, I shouldn't have. Thomas ran it instead of me. ALL PART OF MY PLAN!

MINI-STORY!


Ysee I didn't wanna run the 4x4 relay because I knew other people were faster, so I was planning to be all "eehh! eehh!!! I just ran my 400! I'm sooOOooo tired!!" and tell coach about it. So after my lap, I was scrambling around looking for the guy. I found him manning the long jump pit and stumbled towards him. I totally looked tired! "Hey coach Eric, Thomas is running the 400 instead of me". Now I was expecting him to get pissed and make me run it anyway, since that's what I always got before, but he did something a little weird instead. He hugged me. He said okay to the Thomasubsitution and we started walking, me still in his arms, and he talked about how proud he was of me, and that I did well that season. I was so, dare I say, effing relieved. Talking to coach is usually impossible because he can be stubborn and sorta dumb, but that day he was really cool.

The end. EXCITING!

Oh some bad news! Edward was disqualified for the 400 and Jaydee was disqualified for the 110 hurdles. Also, Daniel got hurt.

Oh some weird news! They had to re-run the 110 hurdles because they didn't catch the times. Many were mad.

Oh some GOOD news! JAYDEE BROKE THE SCHOOL RECORD YAY! BOYS 4X4 BROKE THE SCHOOL RECORD YAY!! I got videos of both of them YAY!!!

Congrats, family!
CIF Prelims (Carpenteria)
Two... hour... drive...
4x1 relay -
MY LAST TRACK RACE! First leg MY START suuuuckkked, dagit! My run-throughs went really well, but my actual start sooooocked. It's like taking a PSAT and scoring 2400, then taking the SAT and scoring a 1900. Thas not how you were supposed to perform! We didn't PR.

That's weird, huh? Not doing well on my last race. In movies, the last thing is ALWAYS the best. The last play, the last dance, the last battle. It always ends on a high note! But that's not how real life is. I know life is not like a movie, but the reassertion of that idea is almost eye opening. Must've been squinting a bit.

Right before the 4x4, Thomas twisted his ankle. This sent Alvin and I in a frenzy (or maybe just me), realizing that we might have to run the relay as alternates. We ran a warm up and did some stretches. I totally didn't plan for it! I totally ate a Tri-tip sandwich! (Which was pretty good, nothing mind blowing though.) Luckily Thomas DID run it and we were off the hook, but GEEZ! Talk about a false alarm! It's like if you have a project presentation due for school, but then you're totally not ready because you started working on it at midnight so it's a piece of poop, so since not everyone would present today you hope other people will present and you can go tomorrow, giving you time to work on it later tonight, but then someone's pen drive breaks so you are called on to present, and then you are screwed, but then it turns out the person's pen drive still works if you hold it at a certain angle, so you don't have to go until tomorrow. False alarm.

CIF Finals (Cerritos College) - that's today!
Psych! CIF Prelims wasn't my last race! HuHAH! Also, it's a good show. (GET IT, CRAIG AND VERONICA!? SNAAAP!)
4x4 relay - Since Jan and Thomas had to go dance it up with Aprwil (Happy Birthday btw!), I was the team's second alternate and had to run the relay. My season was supposed to be over! And then you go about telling me I have to run ANOTHER race?! That's like being ready to go home after 30 battles of war when the lieutenant tells you that you've got one more mission. You might not come back alive! It's like a bad movie! Oh yeah, see, life is sometimes like a movie.

We didn't break any records with a 3:35, but I ran well. A 55 split, my first 300 felt awesome.

And uh... yeah!

I'll miss track so much. Just gotta wait for banquet!! But for now, this is my last official post about my high school career as a runner.

...whoa.

Is sleepover one word?

Yesterday (morning) was senior sleep over! To be continued...

Spring break ended a week ago. You think I care? DO YOU THINK I CARE THAT A SPRING BREAK POST WOULD BE RIDICULOUSLY LATE?! WELL... Eh I dunno where I was going with this.

Beach w/ Track
Tuesday

HARDCORE WORKOUT! As in we work out and get hard cores. Haha. Write that one down.

-Commentate a good caption for this please!-

Volleyball! Chips with dip! Fish sandwich! Lifeguard tower w/ Cinday! Sexy waves! Boogie boardin'! I'm a badass driver! Just a typical day of fun at the beach. WITH TRACK TEAM!

Bowling w/ Friends
Wedendsay

Played with CraigPaulDarrenTaylor! My fore arm got so sore. Luckily my three arm was still aite. Ey no...

I dunno. 116 + 100 = good games??

Breakfast w/ PTA
Thursday

Free breakfast is always good breakfast (unless it's gross food). Twas weird, I had to say the pledge of allegiance with everyone in the room, and 75% of them were adults. It's really weird! Really! Have YOU ever said the pledge of allegiance with more than two adults at a time? Didn't think so! They sounded like an army of zombies, I should've recorded it.
ZOOMBAY!!

After getting my award and plaque (!!!), we just totally boned out.

Friday Saturday and Sunday spring break I don't remember what I did. YAY FORGETFORIES.


Rewind to last year...

On another note, here's the video (in two parts) of last year's Comic-Con fun.

San Diego Comic-Con Adventures! With Jan and me.





If you're interested in going this year, tell me or Jan or Cindy or Amanda or Samee or Connie, CUZ WE'RE TOTALLY GOING THIS YEAR! I'm the "so" kind of excited.


Fast forward to this week...

Track Meet!
League 3 Oxford
Thursday

4x1 - I ran well! I think I got a good start, hand off was spot on. Good chap.
400m - WHOA haven't run this since last year. I though it felt pretty good, but I got a 57.12. HAHA (Translation: It felt okay, but I ran slow. Aw man.)
4x4 - 3rd leg this time! I wasn't SUPPOSED to run. But due to technical difficulties (but not really technical), I had to run it. I did quite swimmingly though! Totally got increased our Alvin lead.

This past meet I realized how amazing the 4x4 relay is. The anticipation builds up not only throughout the whole meet, but also during the actual. I run 2nd or 3rd leg on my team. As soon as my teammate before me is running his lap, I have to step onto the track. I fidget around with excitement, anxiety, and fear as he turns the corner. I see the Whitney jersey come first on the straight away followed closely by the other schools. He's closing in and looking as exhausted as I will be in one minutes time. He comes within a few steps and I start to lead off. His arm reaches out to pass the baton; Connect, grab, and run.

I burst out of the turn hoping that whoever is close behind isn't too close behind. I pump my arms and lift my knees to break out of that start. Before I know it, I'm striding on the back stretch of the track. I constantly monitor my speed. I have to resist from exploding forward so I don't run out of energy, but at the same time I pick myself up to keep my pace just slightly faster than the guy behind me. It's a mind game of not too fast, not too slow, and before I know it I'm already and finally at the 200 meter mark. Half way done.

The second turn I try to stay consistent, leaning in slightly to get an edge. It's now that I want to throw in the towel and turn down the intensity to a simmer, but I can't. I'm almost there. Will I make it? Do I have enough energy to sustain this lead and bring it in all the way? My body says no but my mind contradicts. Teammates are there to cheer me on, screaming their heads off to keep on going. It's just what I need. They give me enough fuel to bring into the home stretch.

I flip the cradled baton out for an easy pass. 100 meters left. Suddenly there is no need for a lean and all that's left is a straight line. I give it my all. I turn my whole body up a notch, giving every last bit of strength I have into the parts of my body that can keep me running. I close my eyes, it's hard to see. My form is sloppy, it's hard to stay conscious. My body begins to break down - it isn't meant to push this hard, last this long, run this fast. But it does. It's been chipping away and I'm ready to crumble, but somehow, it does. I run on empty but sprint like I'm filled to the brim.

20 meters to 10, I pass the line but it's not over. My arm extends as I enter the passing zone. I reach out and my teammate grabs the baton from my hand. Connect, release, and stop. I run off the track into the crowd where my legs know no strength and my heart knows no pause. He's running his lap with the baton cradled just like mine. I know my teammate is going through the same power and atrophy as I did, so I cheer for him with what breath I have left. It's the idea of competition and speed that compels us, but the feeling of passion and unity that drives.


In the end, I love track.


Continuation...

Senior Sleep over!

FINALLY. I GET TO WRITE ABOUT THIS. Yknow half of this post got deleted so I had to rewrite that whole track part. I think it was about a paragraph longer the first time. Good thing or bad thing? I dunno, but SUCKS FOR ME. Anyway.

Senior Sleepover!
Lotsa fun!

Since it's super late, I'll just summarize it, Veronica-style.
  • SNACKS! Shouldn't have bought dinner...
  • Pictionary (I used my abilities to draw a standing stick figure)
  • Where the wind blows -> Do you love your neighbor? = Fun until someone gets hurt.
  • I lost my socks, but I don't care they're old
  • What the heck dance?
  • What the heck LAN?
  • Egyptian war = scary Tim
  • Sleep and wake up.
  • Body tangles
  • Crotch in face
  • Fart trails
  • Farting in faces (sorry Darren, but I don't think you noticed?)
  • Rearrangement and pillow sharing
  • "HEHEHEHEE"
  • Sleep and wakeup.
  • Morning! Yummy croissants.
  • We're all zombies... go home.
Yay.

OKAY IT'S SO LATE

I NEED SLEEP!

I WAS GONNA SLEEP EARLIER, but again, I HAD TO RETYPE HALF OF THIS.

zogzmz.

Lazy Butt

The idea of a lazy butt. Does anyone else find that comical? With its unsupported sits and nonchalant farts? Well I find it funny.

SPIRNG BEARK, EVERYONE!

Who doesn't love a nice week of not-school? We finally get all the free time in the world TO... uh... well that's the thing, lotsa people I think want all this free time in spring summer and winter, but so many people complain about being bored! I'm not saying I'm never bored (I often am [I spent a good hour on Youtube watching stuff from FailBlog]), but I think that's really horrible. Boredom. That's such a terrible state to be in! Not having anything to do? That's ridiculous. Look around you, I bet you see at least a dozen books on a shelf, pencils and papers everywhere, AND, the infinitely expanding internet right at the tip of your fingers! Bored people are just lazy people. Honestly. People who don't have the will to make use of their free time because it requires "energy".

WHOA sorry that rant was unexpected. Well since I'm here, might's well rant some more.

Yknow that Pixar movie Cars? Well I was watching it the other day because they've been playing it on every existing station ever, and I've come to the conclusion... that it is both the best and worst movie ever.

It's awesome because, well it's based around a world of cars. That's pretty hardcore fantasy. And yet... it all seems believable! Sure, there are some loop holes (why the heck are there sidewalks), but they make this world come to life to such perfection that we believe it could actually happen. We believe that that is exactly how cars would move if they were actually living beings. The moral isn't too unique, but that just makes the movie even more classic. It holds a universal theme that can be understood no matter the place or time period.

However, it's a world of cars. What da eff. Not only does the audience have difficulty relating to something with almost no human attributes (just the face?), the characters are horrible stereotypes of every race in the world. (Or maybe we just fill in the stereotypes? I bet if Mater were human, he'd be an upperclass skinny guy... from Russia.) The whole movie is a giant cliche that is only unique because it uses "cars", but even that gimmick isn't effective.

Anyway.

I'm done talking about cars.

As I was saying, Spring Break gives me so much time. I have a few duties to take care of, but I'm given like 216 hours to complete em! That incredible amount of dead time just makes me even lazier, so I haveta make a huge effort just to do one little thing. But when it comes down to it (I dunno what "it" is), the only thing stopping me from getting something done is... myself. DUH DUH DUH!

So that's something that also sounds stupid. The inability to do something because you can't make yourself do it. Wait a minute... THAT'S ALSO LAZINESS! Word of the day, guys. Laziness. Message of the day, laziness sucks. I think laziness is just the result of our desire to please ourselves. But I guess that's human nature? To make yourself happy? But being lazy makes you happy in the short run, not the long run. Snap, convert that into intelligent-sounding language and you got a moral of the day! TAKE NOTES!

But I digress. (OR DO I?!)

Take for example, last Thursday. Track meet.

League 2 - Oxford
Do dirt tracks really slow you down that much? I guesso. I like making them lil holes on the track though.

4x1 relay - First short relay with two Whitney teams! I had to run lead leg against Thomas, he's fast. EVERYONE'S SO FAST! Personal concern part of the entry: am I really fast enough to be on the 4x1 team? I haven't really been showing it at practice, so how do I know that I'm pretty much one of the top four 100m runners? I DON'T KNOW! Maybe if I don't say anything they'll just keep me there. Yeah...

100m - Haha my start was pretty awful. I caught the guys next to me though... and also got second place to Alvin! ALVIN!!!

THAS ME! Forreals this time.

4x4 relay - I wasn't gonna run this. I wasn't supposed to. But Thomas was injured and Jan already had 4 events. I found out I was on the relay team half way through the meet and got all "AAAHHHH SNAP!". But I ran it. And it was incredibly fun. I didn't burn out, I was so happy...

First ever Field 4x1 Relay? Neat stuff!

Oh gorsh I was just thinking, I need a bigger vocabulary of positive adjectives. So far I've gots my "cool"s and "awesome"s ready for whippin out, but nothing else. The variety comes when I add a "so" before those words. I think that was the first I've ever said "neat" in my life. Honest.

Thursday track.

Friday good.

Saturday...

Prom!
Twas quite fun! If you're not from Whitney or got amnesia and can't remember the past couple months, this year's prom was held at the Grove in Anaheim. Speaking of which, the "Grove" was NOT, in any way, a small group of trees used as a place of pagan worship. So either they named it wrong, or Wikipedia is wrong. And I doubt it's the latter...

I went with Milly Shah! YAY FUN! There is no Jennifer, cmon guys.

Again addressing the amnesiacs, we got a pasta dinner which was DELICIOUS! I don't care what you think, pasta is awesome no matter what form. Even Hutch pasta I can eat, even though it tastes like mashed rice in the form of expired cardboard tubes. I still eat it...

Hey I ended both paragraphs with italics...

Dalley dalley bo balley (and friend)

So you forgetful people, how much do you think prom was? If you thought $100, THEN HOT DOG YOU'D BE RIGHT! But the question is... was it worth it? Let's run down what I got and the price of each item.

Nice place/atmosphere - $25
Big screen TV - $10
PASTA BUFFET! - $15
Candy bar - $3
DRINK BAR WITH SODAS - $1 (I didn't drink soda. I got water, sucka, $1 is for shooting my drink from a beer hose.)
Random smoke in the air - $2
Random lights in my face - minus $2
The lights look cool with the smoke - $2
Red carpet..? - $1
Fireworks false alarm - $0
Dance floor + Music - $20

WAIT... now that I think about it... a lot of this stuff you can't put a price tag on... awww more morals! Like I was gonna put "hanging out with friends", or "having an awesome date", or "watching Frankie dance" (HAHA I'M JUST KIDDING FRANKIE I actually didn't see you dance. But I've heard stories. HAHA just kidding. Okay no one tell Frankie I wrote this. Shhh...), but I couldn't think of a price for them. It's sort of... well in the words of Mr. Card: priceless.

But for everything else, prom owes me $23.

Oh yeah, and yay for the actual asking!

"What does a cheerleader use on Saturday?"

"Prom prom?"

I know you wanna high five me and Paul. Admit it. Adm It.

Hold up now! This has nothing to do with what I was talking about earlier! I thought it did, but it didn't. Okay well yeah, all you guys need is will power and you'll be good to go in life. It's so easy to not do something. It's never easy to do something you don't want to do.

YEAH THIS REALLY DOES HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH TRACK AND PROM.

What am I talking about now?! Whatever, here's what I want you to get from this post:

-Don't be lazy.
-Track is fun.
-Prom was fun.
-Kevin is cool.

The End.


...next time on Kanga...

BEACH!
BOWLING!!
BREAKFAST?!?!

...transition...

There.

I looked at everyone's blog.

Two of em mentioned counting blessings.
MY element school didn't have a 6th grade dance! Although it didn't have sports either. (neither?)
I just keep on reading the big word on the Elation post.
God asks more questions than he answers.
CRAZY TRAILER! The book wasn't like that...
I should gain weight too.
I like morals, not sudokus.

See? I did. Except I just skimmed half of them.

NOW I CAN POST MY OWN ENTRY! or enter my post, if you prefer.

Time for a picture!

Kitten?

Cat?

Cats?

CATS!

(Awesome transition, Kev.)

Yesterday was the last performance of our school musical CATS! Twas quite amazing, am I right?! Well of all things... can it be really? YES NO HO HI OH MY EYE. Good job, everyone!

And guessWHATtoolateI'mgonnatellyoubeforeyoucanevenguess I was on crew! Props crew. I got to help make the awesome set and carry large boxes and stuff. It was actually REALLY fun! Here's some advice, if you ever wanna be on crew, I do suggest you BE ON CREW!

Yeah... advice of the day
...

The other day I was itching to someone about how my name wasn't on the back of CATS shirt even though I worked my butt off more than a few of the other crew members on there. I'm sorry 'bout complaining. It's more of a matter of principle, yknow? It's like when people sue someone else for a dollar; they don't do it for the money. They do it to win a case and to talk to Judge Judy.

Speaking of the court.

Speaking of a basketball court.

Speaking of sports.

Speaking of TRACK AND FIELD!!

(You did it again, Kev.)

I haven't talked about track all Kanga v.Blog long! Except that one post, but that was a pre-meet. We've had 4 meets since then!

Oaks Christian:
4x1 - I was running anchor leg! But I felt slower than... well, an anchor.
4x2 - SO FUN! This should be a standard at meets.
4x4 - My legs died. Jan's crazy.

AWESNAPE. Jessie and Jane totally saw Will Smith at this meet! THAS CRAZY! His son apparently goes to Oaks Christian. I wish I saw Mr. Bill Smith. Then I could've totally sang the Fresh Prince of Bel Air theme song, and he'd have totally sung along with me! Either that, or we could've beat boxed together. Sweeeet.

Isn't it weird how just SEEING someone famous gives us some kinda weird "WHOA" sensation? Just hearing that I was within 100 yards of him amazed the Bad Boys out of me. Hehehe. Get it? That was a Will Smith movie reference badly executed. Yay!

ABC District
AKA BIG BLACK GUYS MEET

I swear, there are always 30 year old Muahmad Alis at this meet who are apparently 18 years or younger. OH! Ali!! Another Will Smith reference!

4x1 - Yay for first leg. WAIT this was our not so good handoff with me and Edward! We passed outside of the zone, so Edward started to turn around. I was all "WHAT DA EDWARD" and pushed him forward. We could've gotten 2nd.
60m - I felt slow. But I beat Thien-Tu and Javi. But they were tired. So that sorta makes sense.
4x4 - 2nd place = MEDALS! I love medals. Unless they're tied to my ankles and I'm swimming in water. What?

Ontario Christian
4x1 - snap WE WON OUR HEAT! But got 5th overall? Or 6th? or am I way off?
4x4 - Um... baton drop... but I ran awesomely. More on that later maybe? I'm proud of Alvin!

League 1 - Concordia
4x1 - DARREN SO FAST!
100m - Why am I striding? I should be sprinting?!
4x4 - Fleakin' Oxford guy passed me! But he runs 51 second 400s, so that made me feel better. Also, we owned with 1st placeness.

That's me.

Track is so fun. Yeah, being captain adds 34 more headaches and responsibilities, BUT IT'S STILL AWESOME!

Okay.

Running.

Moving.

ANIMATION!

(You still got it, Kev!)

Dos puntos:
  • I got first place in the PTA Reflections Contest in the film and video category! (yes, that thing AGAIN.) HOORAY ME! Yay for animation advantage. I get to eat some kinda breakfast thing at a ceremony of sorts in April. More on that later when it actually happens!
  • I totally rendered my 1st 3D thingy with the help of Blender and this one tutorial. It's more than just a cube and a circle this time! Took me all day today...
Okay that's all I haveta say. Good job with the post, Kevin! Buen trabajo!

Homeworklessness = Postfulness

I looked at my planner today.

"Okay, letsee what I can write for a Kanga post..."

I usually write anything down that I find interesting enough to post on my Kanga, but the pages were pretty much blank. All I got was "paper!" on Tuesday, and I dunno if a retelling of me reminding myself to get lined paper for my binders is worth any of your time, but it's too late cuz you already finished the sentence SUCKA.

Let's just talk about last week!

Last
Friday
I got asked to Sadies. Hohohohosnap, right? It was one of them "clue every period, guess who!" kindsa things, but I had a good guess as to who it was. So yay for me getting asked! At least I could experience getting asked to this kinda thing once in my life, and es nice. WHERE WERE YOU GIRL-ASKERS THOSE OTHER FIVE YEARS, HM?!

Last
Saturday
was GAHR ALL-COMERS TRACK MEET! I'll do something officially this time...
Place: Gahr
Date: February 14th
Ran: 60 meters

Why, you ask if you read that bold text there, did I just run the 60 meters? Well I'll (probably) never get another chance to run it in my life (since no more all-comers), so why not do it at that meet?! Good thinking, Kevin! Besides, I was sick and I didn't wanna run against Usain Boltettes* in any of the other sprints.

60meter time: 7.35

And that's about all I ran. The rest of the meet I just spectated, cheered, Chipotle-intermissioned, and took pictures. SPEAKING OF PICTURES, look at that one to the right! IT'S A PICTURE OF SOMEONE'S SPIKES! Yeah I didn't take too many good pictures this day.

Now "all-comers" means anyone can come at any time to compete. It also means that anyone can LEAVE at any time, and this was clearly evident when the meet ended with about 5% of the runners still there. There was one 4x400 relay team that Javi and I watched.

This meet got me quite excited about track! Quitecited. WEARING SPIKES IS FUN.

Last...
Two days ago
Oh hey I did have something to write about this week! Friday was contemporary media's 2ND FILM FESTIVAL! I was nervous again when our film played again, but not as much as last time. DUDE our (CraigDianaJoshJonathanStephanieSarah) film got 4th place, TWO VOTES away from 3rd place! We got jipped more than water! That makes sense, right? A leaky faucet jips water? Whatever.

And since Kanga is all about bursting bubbles, it might's well do one now! Yknow that one movie "Driven" that tied for 1st place? Yeah the film's shots were really nice, but do you know why? Cuz they had a super-mega-powerful-monster camera that is worth like three times the other groups' small tiny cameras! The pretty shots weren't obtained by skill, they just used a fancier camera! Plus they used a program called After Effects to add some kindsa effects and stuff. Man I should totally whip out my Adobe Flash and throw in some stick figure fighting into my next movie...

Haah okay I'm really not that bitter or anything. I'm sorry, "Driven" group, I just wanted to say something.

My group didn't get top three, and at first I was kinda "awww okay...", but later that night I realized how proud I was of my group and our film... and that was really proud! It wasn't an ideal masterpiece by any means, but I know we did a pretty bang up job!

Wait. Does "bang up" have a sexual innuendo back story? Is "bang up" even an actual idiom? Am I really too lazy to Google this? Isn't weird how "Google" has become a verb, along with "Youtube" and "Wiki"? Who knows!

I'll post our actual contemp movie, In Blindsight, later.

And that's my life.


OH yeah remember that "What Is Wow" animation I made for the PTA Reflections thing? WELL IT MADE IT TO STATE LEVEL! YAY!!!

OH yeah and my birthday is coming up! Instead of compiling a wish list, I've compiled something else:

My -opposite of wish list- List
(A list of stuff that I don't want)

1. Socks or underwear
2. A puppy (I like em, I just don't want one)
3. DEAD BABIES
4. The third Flight book (I already have that one)
5. Poison
6. Hunger
7. An old wallet (already own it!)
8. Not a massage (Translation: I WANT A MASSAGE. Like, 100 of em.)
9. A virus on my computer
10. A virus in my body
11. Gum... A) on my shoe, B) in my hair, C) filling any of the holes on my body.
12. Anything girly

PLEASE DO NOT MISTAKE THIS FOR A WISH LIST. IT IS NOT A WISH LIST.

Does anyone remember what I asked for last year on my Kanga? Well I never got it. NEVER. 364 DAYS OF NOT IT.

I actually have a regular wish list, but I'd feel cocky posting it on my Kanga, and I'd rather not feel like poultry on birthday thank you very much. 'EY OH! If you don't wanna get me anything, then that's totally cool but I'd disown you if I were your dad. If you do wanna get me something, you know what I like, you know what I love.

Happy Kevin's Birthday Awareness Sunday.
