Love is a Song, Love is a Song, Love is a Song.

Freshman city champ! :) 14:41, I think, with about 7:20 splits.
And...
I've been made an alternate for varsity, for regionals/sectionals/state (if we qualify). It totally surprised me, when we came to the "final" meeting to turn in our uniforms, turns out I'm still in season for two more weeks. Which is great, I mean, I'm happy that Geiger sees enough potential in me for me to be varsity next year, but I kinda made other plans. Like, you know, math team? Piano? (speaking of which, I have to accompany my friend who's playing flute for her exam which is in NOVEMBER.) And I have to design for the school directory, yearbook...

My new Yamaha U1 piano is coming next Saturday. :D

 
My new favorite song. Currently I love all U2-ish sounding songs. -squee-

YES!

I'm crossing my fingers.

And my toes.


My research for an awesome dSLR still continues.
But also on my list is the...
Sorry, lost that train of thought.
I think I might've meant to say that I still hae a Chem test to study for, and that I'm worried about how badly I failed my AP Human Geo quiz. Afterall, I did get 66.6 (devil's number, much?) on my last one. Haha.

Homework is going to kill me. And then my mom, if she finds a way to revive me.

Alright, so, I friended some old acquaintances on Facebook for the wrong reasons.

Alright, that didn't sound right

I friended some old acquaintances on Facebook because I LURVE their pictures.

Nah.

I friended some old acquaintances on Facebook because I love their picture quality, and most importantly, I love their photo editting skills. And their photography skills. SKILLZZZ.


So now I'm telling my mom that I should really get a digital SLR camera.
Yush, I am doing my research. At the moment, I'm looking at the Nikon D3000, I guess, since I know it takes great pictures and its cheap. But I think I'll have to do more research on different lenses, ISO, exposure, and apeture, because I really want to figure out how to take those really cool photos at night with flash.

Well. I had an interesting title, but it evaporated.

So I had a lot to say, except after doing 24 200m's, they kind of evaporated.
But this post is my attempt at remembering:

Recently, I was Facebook-stalking (haha. I wonder who's actually going to take me seriously when I say this) and I saw Jack Wanberg's photos with Annamalise. And it totally made me have an empathy-moment (I mean, honestly, it doesn't happen a lot, and why of all people, them?). But it happened so... I just felt so sad for them, because they were really good friends before, and had a good relationship after, and then I see their status'... SINGLE. I DUNNO!!! ;_; It just made me sad.

And my American lit. teacher is McCarthy... When I first saw his name, I went, "Hey..." There was this feeling, not of familiarity, but a cross between dejavu and I'm-pretty-sure-I-know-you-from-somewhere. Recently I realized what and why. It's because his name reminds me of McCarthyism! :D I had a major "OHHH!" moment when I realized. Which caused me to brain fart on my math problem.

Today after school, I was at my locker, and I saw a girl. YES, I SAW A GIRL. I won't name her, but she's a girl (YES, SHE'S A GIRL!), is a year older, is a fracky, is in my AP Chinese Lang.+Culture class, has awesome carving skills (my goshness, I saw photos on FB and she carved words out of pencil lead!), is good at percussion, has awesome baking skills too, and has awesome friends. Now, I'm not going to say anything about my current friends, I'm not implying anything either, but she has awesome friends. It just makes me wonder, if I had gone to Payton, would WY people still have tried to hang out with me some weekends? I dunno, movies, parties... And lastly, the reason why I say that she has awesome friends, is because ATM, I have a puppy crush--

Yes, a puppy crush and nothing more. I have to make this fact clear in black and white, because I just KNOW that confessing this is going to come back and bite me in the arse. But I just have to say this, for a personal record, because when I come back to this blog in ten years, I'll see it and laugh at myself. Now, I certainly do not want this fact out. This blog is public, but please try to keep this as private as possible. The only reason why I'm letting this out is because I trust you guys enough. I'm giving you guys the benefit of the doubt. I've read way too many cliche books about blogs SOMEHOW being found out. Not pretty.

--on N.o.a.h. S.e.b.e.k. Yes, because my socializing skills suck crap, so that's just it.

Third to lastly, for Alice's card, we should put, "You suck. But this game is too interesting."

Second to lastly, McCarthy's making us do a "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" blogpost, and I kinda (just kinda) want to draw a picture of a god with 26 hands (yes, because it has to be even, no?) blocking some sort of dam. That would be fun. But I don't think I can do it in one day. Sorry, I don't have enough time in my life to come home and just be able to finish homework and even do math team homework. -coughcough-

Finally, -whew, finally- I'm just going to drop off a little tiny fact:

I know why and how Sheila got mad at me for my controversial blogposts back in March. (You can look for them again, but sorry m'dears, I've saved them as drafts. :) )

Pictures from trip

I need a picture of me doing something over the summer for AP Human extra credit, and so I’ve uploaded the better pictures of me throughout the whole trip. You know, the ones where I don’t particularly look too stupid, like all the other ones. So, I’d like your top three, or top two (or maybe top one, which would make everything easier).

Knock yourself out.

EDIT: I was a little bit curious, so I clicked on my blog stats. And now I feel stupid I didn’t click it earlier, when the a-hole stalker decided to drop by.

+ PRTSC 1
+ PRTSC 2

PS. I didn’t know I had dimples until I smiled really hard at myself in the mirror.

Babbles.: Me.

Babbles.: Me.: "My name is Bob Jiayin Tang. I dislike writing essays and such because I sound stupid. Informal writings are good, and I like writing rando..."

'Tis my blogpost for my American Lit class.
Writing a blog is unusually, but seems pretty neat. :)

I'm not quite sure if I like it, but...
Maybe I'll be in a different mood tomorrow and decide that its ABSOLUTELY AWFULLLLL.

My mom finally downloaded the pics from the trip. :D So when I blog about Days 6-8, I can include pics!


Following is an email I sent about first day of school. I'm copy/pasting because I'm too lazy and I still have to do another AmeriLit hw. -sigh-

i finally got art, so i was excited about that
and i have lunch with a bunch of syd's guy friends
my american lit teacher is making us make a blog for class. its unusual, but i think its going to be fun
ap chinese we have a crowded classroom, and we actually have to turn in our summer hw (panic!)
for ap human our class is veryvery small, and the teacher isn't so bad. she's very straightforward, so i like that
i'm doing cross country now, which means for the season i cannot commit to anything but cross country :(
i still have to talk to math team coaches about practice (one which happens to be tomorrow)... bleh.

Random Post.

Trust me, I haven't forgotten about Days 6-8. I'm just really unmotivated and busy right now.

Shakugan no Shana is really good. I'm on the second season right now, and it has just the right mix of romance and action! And so because of SnS, my new favorite thing to say is Enpatsu Shakugan no Uchite (「炎髪灼眼の討ち手」Flame-haired Blazing-eyed Hunter, except not the "no Uchite" part).

Anyways, my point:

Black Swan, starring Natalie Portman.

It sounds really good, but I don't really like the horror twist to it.
I'm uber paranoid, and therefore doesn't go well with me. :(

Baltimore, MD – Day 5

Besides that lame ass comment from Anonymous who thinks I’m some bubbly idiot (great, I feel like I’m being stalked) and the frustrating email about Art I being full, my day was okay-ish. :)

Back in Baltimore, we visited Centennial HS, which is where my parents want me to go. I don’t really like it that much, prolly because I just don’t want to transfer. It’s all one floor and is really spread out, in the suburbs. But the ‘burbs in MD is a lot different because there are lots of hills and trees and very big houses. I keep telling them that if we ever have to move, I’m going to Choate Rosemary Hall. I don’t think that they think I’m serious, but I am. Eitherway, I’ll have to give up a lot, so I’d rather be in a good boarding school somewhere in CT than to live in the suburbs (something I would never want to do) and limit myself because the school itself doesn’t offer as much (compared to Choate and WY). Since my mom is indecisive, switching back and forth from moving to MD and staying here, I’m going to test for Choate anyway, and if I do get in with a scholarship and/or (are you allowed to have both?) financial aid, I’m going. For sure.

I think I’m going to limit the more personal info I’m putting in here. I didn’t think that my blog could be found so easily. Or I’m being stalked. Anyways, I’m gonna stop talking, since I’m afraid that Anonymous is stalking me and if I don’t get my details correct, then he/she is going to be a smart-aleck with me. –sigh- People these days. No manners at all.

I’m doing Days 3&4 later.
