Mr. Rhodes hugged me! It was oh-so-cute. Aimee and Andrea came late to the choir rehearsal today because of a Key Club meeting.. they had the option not to go but they did anyway.. and I didn't because I thought that today's choir rehearsal was more important, because Grant Gershawn and Morten Lauridsen were there!!!! So he said, "That's why I loooove Melike!" and hugged me! It was so sweet!!! I love Mr. Rhodes! YAAAY! posted by Melike at 20:01
My fingers are so thin today.. my rings are sliding off my fingers. It's really annoying. posted by Melike at 16:24

Man! Choir rules so much! Mr. Rhodes put up some "decorative" signs.. like "Please do not feed the basses," and the wonderful "Fix your posture" sign pasted onto the clock so you see that whenever you look to see what time it is. Haha! Anyway, we're going to be singing Mozart's Requiem this year.. I am sooo excited! It's so beautiful and great! I just read this really long compilation of people's responses to a question about solfege.. should it be based on a fixed do, or a movable do and la-based minor? Most people's choice was the movable do, of course. It is soo easy. Yay solfege!!! Choralist gets pretty interesting at times. Those are all my comments for now.. see you later folks. posted by Melike at 19:04

Hi.. Hey, look! My horoscope was pretty accurate today: "Professionally, this will be the moment to sign a contract or get involved in a new project or participate on a team effort." ..and today in math class we just put ourselves in groups to do a project in! How awesome is that, huh? HUH?! *grins* Anyway, I went to Ballroom Dance Club after school today.. it was actually pretty fun. I learned how to tango (a bit) but I really need a dancing partner for next week (and all the other weeks following that). So yeah, it made me happy! But as I said, I need a partner... ugh.. I hope I find one until next week. That's it for now, believe it or not. Bye. posted by Melike at 23:44
Aww! My grandparents just called! My grandpa sang happy birthday to me over the phone! This is so cute!! AWWW! Anyway, only 40 minutes until the end of my birthday.. aw! Boo. But anyway, yeah. Back to homework. *grin* I'm such a dork. posted by Melike at 02:23
Well, I'm writing again. It's sad that I can't think of anything to say. I guess it's any other day. I have loads of homework that I don't want to do.. I'm gonna cry! I just want to sleep now. But I don't want to.. if I sleep, my birthday will be over! Man, so many people sent me cards! I swear, I think I'd never gotten as many cards in my life as today. I don't know if that's happy or sad. It's sort of an increase of a positive thing, so I guess happy. Oop.. phone.. I'll write later.. hehe... posted by Melike at 00:36

Yay! Today is my birthday! Today is my birthday! I've gotten cards (and flowers) from the coolest people! Yay I feel loved!! People are so cool.. Yaaaaay. Anyway, I have nothing else to say for now.. I'll write again later, probably.. *grin* posted by Melike at 20:00
My life is such a clutter! I hate having to do homework late at night. I just want to sleep. Sometimes I fool myself by saying that today I will finish my work in time and do so much more; but turn out to be wrong every time. But there are distractions. I can't help it. Phone calls and whatnot. I can't just hang up. I spent two hours researching something for English class. I don't like it.. I have so much other stuff to do.. why do I bother doing extra credit? I just do. I guess I'm psycho. I apparently derive masochistic pleasure from making myself stay up late just to do a stupid little extra credit assignment. And I still have other homework left. I mean, the logical brain would at least leave the extra credit until the very end. But no. Must have extra credit. I'm weird, I know. So, enough of that. Twenty minutes until my birthday.. yay! I hope I don't sleep through my birthday.. I'm going to be so tired tomorrow. Anyway, back to work. Bye. posted by Melike at 02:42

Tomorrow is my birthday!! Anyway, I'm feeling good today too.. I think the beginning of October was a new era for me. I love the word "October." It sounds so cool. Reminds me of the 4 chunky necklaces I bought today (they are SO pretty!). I'm going to wear one of them tomorrow.. I'm not sure which one yet.. I've decided that I like chunky jewelry. Now the rings that seemed huge on my fingers look really tiny, when compared to my necklaces.. haha.. must buy new rings, too. *grin* Today Maureen told me my hair was pretty.. that made me happy. We also sang really fun stuff in choir, which also made me happy. Ew.... timed writing tomorrow in English.. but I don't care. Although, I'm totally discouraged now because I expected my horoscope to show me sunny icons in my love, health, and career categories, but I looked at it and love and career had dark clouds, and my health was partially sunny! This sucks! *grins* Lack of time is not good.. but not like I'd do anything if I *had* time. But I want to draw or something. I wish I could draw.. I want to write music too. I can't think of a tune off the top of my head, but I'm sure that if I just sat somewhere and concentrated on it for a bit, I could come up with something. I want to write a song.. a short SATB song, with random lyrics.. actually, I have possession of a little 4-lined love poem in Spanish, and it's sweet.. I wonder if I could make something out of that. Or would it sound totally off to listen to something in Spanish that didn't actually have the Spanish characteristics of melodies and stuff in it? Ugh.. boo! I don't like bossy people. They just make me mad. I don't know. I like being bossy too.. and yes, sometimes I do make myself mad too! Anyway, this isn't going anywhere, so I might as well practice some piano.. yay Moonlight Sonata!! *yeah!* posted by Melike at 19:36

OMG... it is SO HOT. *about to pass out* Rain! Want rain!! posted by Melike at 20:50
I got this in the mail today.. it's cool!
An Italian proberb goes, "After the game, the king and pawn go into the same box." A world in itself, chess mimics life in more ways than one. While quite simple on the surface, its complexity is mind-boggling. There are more than 10^120 possible moves (that's number 1 followed by 120 zeros). That is a fairly large number once we realize that there are only about 10^75 atoms in this universe.
Yaaaay..! Yeah. I thought that was cool stuff. Today was actually a good day! I'm happy overall.. *whispers* I blame you again, Kai. Hey! No wonder! Today my horoscope 'forecast' thing put a sun icon in "love," "health," AND "career!" See? I was predestined to be happy today, it was in the stars! Hehe.. j/k.. But all of last week, all three icons were rainy clouds. Pretty cool how they worked out.. but not like I plan my whole life according to my horoscopes. Some people probably do take this seriously and say, "Oh man! Today I'm going to fall in love!" and then.. like.. think that the first person they see is The One or something.. haha. Or maybe not. Whatever. ^^ I wish I had more time! I wish I didn't sleep! Then I'd get to do lots of wonderful stuff. I mean, I bet I'd still laze around and do nothing, but maybe I *could* do other stuff. Who knows! We will never know, unless I turn into an insomniac one day! Umm, yeah, I guess that's all the profound dribble I'm gonna say for right now.. have fun, kids. posted by Melike at 18:31

*prints her chem homework and stares at it in awe.. then gets a black pen and draws in a superscript delta because the superscript font doesn't have a delta option* posted by Melike at 16:04
Wow! Wingdings fonts rule!! In Wingdings 3 I found a sign for "delta" and the arrows the indicate reversible reactions.. yes! My chem homework looks so good now.. *sniff* This is so fun!! posted by Melike at 15:49
Yay!! I'm so happy.. I just figured out how to do subscripts and superscripts on Word! I'm sorry -- I know that brings more joy to me than is necessary, but I just have to share this. Well, actually I didn't officially learn how to do them, I just found a font that did subscripts and superscripts, so.. man. This is so exciting. Sorry.. sorry.. hehe.. The littlest things make me so happy. posted by Melike at 15:26
I RULE. Okay, I'm a hypocrite -- just yesterday I said I started going to bed early and now it's almost 2:00 am. Oh well. I made a new layout. I like it better. Sorry. It needed to be done. The other one was getting me mad. Off to bed. posted by Melike at 04:41
Oh my gawrsh.. I MET MORTEN LAURIDSEN TONIGHT!! Like, I actually talked to him and shook his hand!! For you ignoramuses out there (hehe), he is a very famous composer, and I sang two of his songs in the past.. I sang "Ubi Caritas" last year in the regional honor choir and "O Love, Be Fed With Apples While You May" in the All-State.. and man, that was a damn hard song! Anyway, so yeah! And tomorrow I'm gonna see him too, cuz.. yeah we're participating in this brain cancer fundraiser and there is a choir of 250 high school students and we are in it... jess!! Aimee and I were thinking of giving him something to autograph.. Wow! I can't believe I met him! He's real! He exists! I touched him!! posted by Melike at 02:07
