Heh, I'm highly avoidant... I agree with that. I don't know about the obsessive-compulsiveness, though.

Last week was one of the worst weeks ever. Not only did we have rather large projects due almost every day of the week, but we had a horrible surprise Thursday morning when we learned that our history teacher, who had been on sick leave since December, had passed away. I'm still feeling kind of numb... so I haven't actually showed any emotion over it, which makes me look pretty insensitive, I guess. He was a very estimable teacher. I didn't go to the viewing or the funeral either, and what's even worse is I live minutes away from the funeral home.

Then we had to go for Musicfest with that on our minds. We got silver plus, which I guess is pretty good. But when we were done, the bus was not only late, but an hour late. And they sent a party bus with strobe lights and lasers, but I wasn't on it. Which is good, I think, because I had a headache by then.

It's a first! I didn't do three assignments for the days they were due. The first was some Civics journal, but I did that the day after. But the other two, which I'm supposed to be working on now, are an entire science lab report and a poetry analysis. I really don't like English anymore... it's so boring.

Ooh, killer blizzard out there... so much snow! Normally I'd be out there with my camera right now, but I'm tired for some reason. Not enough caffeine, probably. It's like that other blizzard... right after Christmas... remember? Anyway... I should go write some more observations. But really, who cares what color tea turns when you put it in acid?

When is the stupid weekend coming? It feels like it should be Thursday by now. But it's only Tuesday. What's up with that? Today was Twins Day at school. I was twins with a friend whom I apparently bear a striking resemblance to. I don't know, I don't see it. I can't believe I left my camera at home, though. Stupid Saja thought the situation at lunch merited her pricking me in the back with a safety pin. I'll show her... I still don't see why I haven't beaten her up yet. Usually, by the time someone has offended me as much as she has, the person has large bruises. At least, that's what happened when I was five. I wish I was five.

We have large assignments due every day of this week. I have to do this Holocaust timeline now, but I'm tired.

Can somebody explain this? When I walk in the rain, or at least on wet asphalt, the back of my left leg gets totally soaked but my right leg is dry. This has always happened with me. It's disturbing. I think I've been limping lately. I hate my boots. They rub the backs of my ankles. When I wore them before Christmas, they actually broke the skin. That was in the morning. I had to wear them all day. It wouldn't happen if my socks didn't fall down. But they always do. They're new socks, damnit. And they're not the same socks either. For the past week, I have worn totally different socks every day, and they have all fallen down, leaving my ankles very pained. Is 'pained' a word?

I feel like going to sleep. Joe Millionaire was such a ripoff. What kind of twist is that? That was pathetic. I knew he would pick Zora, though. I still say it would have been better if his name really was Joe Millionaire.

I love Nedstat. It tells me such cool stuff. The keywords people use to find this site... for example, "how do you pronounce kazaa" on Google. Of course, it's Kazaa, with the emphasis on the zaa. Why can't people talk right? In fact, why can't people not be idiots? Today in computers, we were taught how to prompt users for input. Of course, one of the questions was "Why do we need to know this?" Another comment was, "Numbers can't be characters." I'm going to go insane by the end of the year.

Anyway, other keywords. Many of them have to do with neopets. Maybe I should put the word neopets in every entry in white or something. But other, more interesting ones are: "loblaws cake", "how to tell if somone is lying?", "NEW COLDPLAY SONG", "how to make blinkies in imageready", "Hamtaro screensaver", "'pacific mall' gameboy advance", and one of my favourites, "comedian 'me, mario'". I don't get it. But that's kind of why I like it.

Yay! I got off school at 12:45 today. Yay! Tomorrow is a late start. Yay! Tomorrow is Friday.... boo, we so much homework. I hate homework.

I was among the very few who did their homework in Math today. The math teacher said, "Excellent!" and "Beautiful!" because he's prone to say stuff like that.

I have Civics homework... and I think I was supposed to type up a script for English. English is rapidly becoming one of my least favourite classes. I'm so uncreative and boring and not loud. That's why I'm good at math and science and computers. And not English.


Saturday, February 8, 2003 - 03:07 p.m.:

It feels like Sunday, but it's Saturday! How cool.

My hand is half asleep. It's weird. Anyway, I was just playing Civilization, and it was going quite well. I had just led the world into the Renaissance in the 1300's, but then all my trade routes disappeared because my beautiful Labyrinth became obsolete. Then my cities turned around and became barbarians. Then the rest of them revolted. Then I ran out of money. So I stopped playing. Stupid citizens. I am Eris, goddess of discord! They should fear me.

My hand's not asleep anymore. I got a sandwich from KFC for lunch. Half of it was dripping with mayonnaise and there was none on the other side. Huh.


Friday, February 7, 2003 - 02:35 p.m.:

Yay! It's P.A. day. Not a P.A. day, but the P.A. day. Yes, P.A., not P.D. I don't know P.D. is, but P.A. is better. I wonder what exactly teachers do today. My history teacher, who's actually a substitute but he's not really because he retired this year from my school, but now he's subbing for my real history teacher because he's sick. Anyway, he's much better than any other sub could be. But if he stays too long he'll be off his pension, and he can't teach all the same classes that the original teacher taught, so they have a replacement for him. Which is horrible. For us and the new replacement... I don't think he knows what he's in for, with at least 3 gifted classes. Gifted doesn't mean nice. Mwahahahahahahahaaa...

Anyway, I want to play Civilization. So I will, but I'm typing this now. There's nothing good on the Internet anymore. Neopets has lost its allure, but I'm confident it'll come back in a few weeks. That's what usually happens.

I'm now formatting a floppy disk so I can install a stupid Pascal compiler on it because I can't get it to install on the hard disk. Probably because I'm stupid. It tries to make me type in the path manually... but doesn't it know I'm too apathetic to? So I chose 'install on a floppy disk' but it couldn't write on the disk, which turned out to be because the disk apparently wasn't formatted. Which brings me to now. I'm not sure if it's done yet. That was a few minutes ago. Oh well.

Now it can't format it. I knew it was somehow corrupted. Stupid corrupt disks.

GAAH!!!!! Heh, that looks funny. Anyway, I got a new disk, but this one's Mac formatted. I want to know how the heck we have Mac formatted disks. Stupid compiler.

Anyway, I jsut got back from band... an hour ago, but I haven't really done anything since then. It's really weird outside. It's raining but the rain is freezing on contact with the ground. (Hence 'freezing rain'.)

Okay, this is the last time. I'm going to try to get the compiler on the floppy disk, and if it doesn't work the floppy disk dies.

Yes! It wrote more than one file! That's got to be a good sign.

Okay... it worked, but it said my programs were bad. But they weren't. And I don't like Pascal.

So the Science exam that I was so frustrated about turned out okay... in fact, I got the best mark in the class. Always a nice thing (96%... 97% if she takes off a certain question.) But I got 27 out of 30 on my English exam. And I have to be Puck in some thing.

I have Math homework, but I don't want to do it. Major crisis. I hope I don't have to walk in snow-covered ice tomorrow. If I do, I'll say it's a danger to my health and stay home ^.^ I have a P.A. day on Friday (counting down... just 3 more days! I do this a lot.)


Wednesday, January 29, 2003 - 07:01 p.m.:

I'm so bored... I did the History exam on Monday (that was hard), the Music exam Tuesday morning (that was okay) and the Science exam around noon Tuesday (unnervingly easy and infuriatingly stupid at the same time - you know, irrelevant questions, obvious questions, etc.)

And now I have nothing to do until next Monday. It's like a holiday. Actually, I do have things to do, like English homework and stuff... but that's for Sunday night. I'm still sick. I've been sick since the end of the Christmas holiday. Today, I slept and watched TV and knitted. I like knitting, it's hypnotic and strains my eyes. I find I'm straining my eyes a lot these days.

Gah, what's up with this layout? I don't know what's wrong with it or how to fix it, and it only doesn't work on the laptop with Netscape. I don't think it's even worth fixing.


Sunday, January 26, 2003 - 12:45 p.m.:

All my bad markup is backfiring... I'm too confused to debug. Oh well. It seems that on my laptop the page is super messed up but still readable, so I'll leave it alone. And it also seems that table height does still work, it's just not right to use it.


Friday, January 24, 2003 - 08:38 p.m.:

Hah! Finally, it works. Of course, it probably only works on this computer, but that's fine with me. <div> and I do not mix, that's for sure. Especially with the positioning. Stupid W3... get rid of table height... I'll show you! And I did. I fixed it with div. Hopefully, every site I make that uses div won't be edited by anyone else, or their head might implode from just the messiness and bad commenting.

I've got a big history exam tomorrow, but am I studying? Nope. I'm like that. Robitussin tastes horrible. Really. Anyway, after exams, Careers will be gone! All gone! I'll have Civics instead. Not much better, but better just the same.

all about moi:

Okay... I'll try to sum up everything in a few paragraphs. In the past, I've been very bad about this. Anyway, I'm Kala and this is my journal. I'm Canadian, but my parents are Sri Lankan. I only speak English (and a little French) because I never learned Tamil, because I couldn't sit still long enough to. And I hated those classes.

I like web designing and editing/creating graphics and stuff... I made this, for example. I usually don't have much better to do, and when I do, I don't do it because it's usually not fun. Anyway, I've been web designing since '97 and doing graphics since '98. I'm relatively old on the Web, even though I myself am only 15. My pet peeves include ignorant people, mean people, and ignorant, mean people. I really don't like people who think Dreamweaver or Frontpage or Composer are substitutes for knowing web design. They're not really mean, but they are lazy and ignorant.

Favourites...
shows: reboot, csi, ST:TNG (I'm a geek... but not yet a true trekkie)
sailor soldier: saturn
colours: dark red and purple
subjects: science, music, math
I can't think of anything else worth mentioning.

Oh yeah, my birthday's on December 2. I'm a Sagittarius, a rabbit, and my birthstone is cubic zircon or something obscure like that. Britney Spears and Monica Seles stole my birthday, (even despite their being older than me) not vice versa.

about this crazy stuff:

This is my online journal. I haven't had it for too long now, but it's been a while. You can browse through older entries by clicking the obviously named link above. This page was created solely by me, my digital camera, Photoshop, and Fireworks because I couldn't get into ImageReady which I would have used but I couldn't get into it so I had to use the stupid trial Fireworks thing that puts spacers all over the place. Dang vector imaging... raster forever!

This page is really messed up. I have not at all conformed to any web standards. I've used depreciated markup, and weird experimental stuff that just happens to work. This site probably only works on the computer I'm using to type this. In any case, try a computer with at least 800x600 resolution (although you might have to scroll sideways), 16-bit or higher colour, and Netscape 6 or IE 6. I think this works better on Netscape than IE. You always know there's something wrong when that happens.

kirby KOs all of you.
