Dear Trabuco Hills High School,
I already hate you.
You make my Registration Day the most stressful and hectic day of quite possibly my entire life.
First of all, you tell me that I cannot attend good ol' THHS and that I have to attend either El Toro, Laguna, or Mission.
I was taken aback, taken by surprise, overwhelmed, shocked, and pissed.
I cried angry, sad, frustrated, overwhelmed, pissed tears.

I am not even a registered student at the school yet, and I have already sat across from the Principal in his office.
He has already called my parents.
I have already cried in his office in the chair that probably millions of teenage delinquents have sat in.
This is unacceptable.

Then you spring upon me, that I can go there now.
Which makes me really overwhelmed and I cry more.
THEN you tell me to hurry through registration because everybody is closing.
But here's the thing, I was still crying.
I took my picture while crying.
In Mid Tear.
This is unfair.
And the result is that I look like a Gargoyle Butt.
I am angered in every way.

But I guess it's all good, because I don't have to go to Druggie El Toro High School.
WHATEVVAAASS

Here is my schedule:

1 Drama 1 - Sautner
2 Biology - Grams
3 Algebra 2 Honors/IB - Douglass
4 Spanish 1 - Hanneman
5 Eng 1 Honors/IB - Berner
6 Cultural Geography/History Honors - Farley
7 GIRLS CROSS COUNTRY - Coach Kelllyyyy (:

Any classes together? COMMENT !

Plus, it was sweltering hot. And it's still sweltering hot in the air conditioned oasis called my home.


And I hope you all know that this is my 60th post !!!




I hope you are all aware, that on the day of Saturday, August 25, 2007, I achieved a mile time of...
6 minutes and 50 seconds.
I also hope you are aware that this qualifies me as a 6 minute mile girl.
This means that I would be the proud owner of a Pink shirt at the beautiful RSM Intermediate, if only I was still a pupil there.
My best time before that was 8:23.
Do the math my friends!

Just wanted to let y'all know about one of the biggest accomplishments of my life!
I hate you all (:




I would like to know why there has not been a new season of you, the best show on the face of this planet, since FOREVER.
I honestly don't even know when Season 3 was last on.
It has been well over a year.
And now I question whether or not there will even BE a new season, since Tim Gunn has a new show on Bravo.
Why is he on that show?
He should be working on Project Runway.
This delay pains my heart.
I miss you, Project Runway. I miss everything about you.
Now, I resort to watching reruns over and over again.
Like right now.
I guess, I will just have to be content watching reruns of you until a new season comes out.
But, I assure you, if you wait too long to come out, then you will be hearing from me again.
This time in the format of a hate letter.

Good day,
Joanna Chiang
An Avid Viewer.


*EDIT: I fully support you, Tim Gunn and your ventures to your own show, but please. For the sake of us all, go back to PR and give us some good television. I have no doubt that Tim Gunn's Guide to Style will be a great show, but nothing can beat PR. Not even a show dedicated to Tim Gunn, himself. How I love you Tim Gunn, but I just wish for you to return to being a mentor to all the designers at Parsons.















I am currently wearing the most delicious shirt on the face of this universe.
It smells amazing.
It is soft and big and comfortable.
I stole it from the ground.
It is somebody's.
I am debating whether or not to give it back.
It is the best smell on this earth.
This shirt puts me in a delusion state and I am about to cry, it is making me so happy.
I am pathetic. I know, you don't have to say it.




I don't understand why basically everybody is going crazy over High School Musical 2.
People are gathering at each other's houses to watch together.
People are throwing parties for this movie.
Our own Heather Leith is attending one.
I am confused as to why our society comes together for a silly Disney channel movie that has the guts to call itself a musical.
This is quite pathetic if you ask me.
And what's the deal with Zac Efron?
He is not hot.
In any way, shape, or form.
In any country, language, or culture.
I don't understand High School Musical altogether.
Wow. I'm kind of infuriated.
This is a travesty that I cannot wrap my brain around.




If only my life in the past couple days were exciting and worthy of this blogging greatness, I would blog. Fosho, fosho. But since it has not been, I just simply cannot.
But, on the flip side, I am sure it is going to speed up starting TOMORROW!
I believe I am trekking to the safari we call Wild Rivers located in sunny Irvine, California with a few good men.
So, stay tuned my salamander friends.
I hope I am still worthy of your love and passion and that you forgive me one day (:




I slept on a trampoline last night with the original 4 Gypsies.
And before our slumber, we got fat at the Cantina and visited the Octopus Tree and encountered 2 coyotes and a real live Tarantula that we stepped over.
And went to Music Night at the General Store and watched Cooper running to us with an orange unbuttoned shirt with wet hair.
And continued to talk with him and drink Snapple.
Even before this, we had the most pointless day of Cross Country known to man.
We rode on huge carts around the track only to have our hard work wasted for it was brought back to our original destination by some men.
But it was worth it.
And we ran through sprinklers.
And Coach Kelly didn't care.
And we barely even ran.
And it was just great.
And amazing.
And spectacularly fun!
GRANDADDY
And this morning we continued to proceed to eat monstrously huge portions of breakfast foods at the International House of Pancakes which is delicious. Then, I got a haircut.
I shall post pictures later.






Within the depths of Trabuco Canyon, my favorite place on this Earth, there is an Octopus.

An Octopus TREE!

It is my favorite place in the Canyon, I have decided.

But before the Octopus was discovered...


Jessica, Me, and Jantzen hung out today in the Canyon, for today was Jantzen's last day until he goes to Colorado for many many weeks. Poo.

So, Jessica and I channeled our gypsy ways and traveled down to the Canyon to meet up with JMan. We met up with him and got ourselves some refreshing drinks. Green Tea was my drug of choice. Then we went into the place where no man has ever gone before..under the bridge where there is beer galore, but hark! There was none today which was a total surprise.

But, what we did find was amazing. We found..

a GYPSY STAFF!!!

There are piles and piles of leaves under the bridge and I happened to find the most perfect stick on the face of this Earth. It is now sitting contentedly in my room on display for all who pass it's glorious existence.

Oh yeah, and I climbed the tree by the General Store because its a ritual I have to go through. And, I'm not even kidding.

Then, we continued our travelings to the Canyon School where young Cooper and Jantzen both attended in their elementary school days. We stayed there for a couple hours and just laid on the grass and did nothing. But it was SO much fun. I didn't know doing nothing could be so enjoyable and fun. I am taken aback by the enjoyment factor of it. Oh, and we named JMan's left sandal Jim and the right one Thom Yorke.

I climbed a tree there too. Then we hid from Anthony behind said tree. Then, he saw us. But, I wasn't kidding and I thought we would be hidden. But I guess it was obvious that we weren't? I am still bewildered that we were found because I thought it was a good hiding place.

After that, we went to Jantzen's amazing house because he had to pack some more and stuff like that, but we traveled with him. And we went up this large hill to get to his house.

So, we approach his amazing, indescribable, home in his amazing, indescribable neighborhood where Griffin Balmer also lives. We see a cute little green fence and it belongs to the Oshier family!!! So, we go through the green fence, and Jantzen's dad is just sitting in the back of his car and right when we get in, he's like "Hiiiii, you must be Joanna?" pointing to me and I'm like "Yeah!!" and he goes on to say "And who are you?" pointing to Jessica. Then, she says she's Jessica. But, I don't get how he knew me? I've never talked to him ever, never told him my name in my life, never ever seen him...I was kind of weirded out, but I loved it all at the same time. He was friendly and quirky and amazing. So then, he proceeded to tell us how he slammed his fingers into the door and it hurt really bad. And then he's like "Jantz, why don't you give them the tour?"
So then, he takes us to ONE OF their backyards which is wilderness and trees and beautiful. And, there was a broom with a face drawn upon it in red marker, and it was just standing upright. I love it.
THEN, he takes us to the "Apartment" which is where Me and Jessica are living as soon as we can. Because it's absolutely perfect. It was mysterious and comforting and dark and had weird knicknacks everywhere that were absolutely perfect. And this apartment had it's own backyard with a HAMMOCK in it!! Which I tried to sit on and failed miserably. But, you go through the underground bathroom to get to the actual backyard. And to get to the actual backyard, there is a yellow door...Do you understand how perfect? AND there's a balcony where you can see pretty trees and wilderness and canyon on. AND, in the kitchen part, there was this perfect stepping bench thing that was the perfect height for Jessica so she could be able to cook in peace and not have to struggle to reach things! It's absolutely perfect and I honestly want to live there!!! It's seriously indescribable. You would be amazed and in awe and envious. It is just..perfect.

Okay, so then, he takes us into his house which is separated from his garage, which I thought was his actual house because I'm retarded. I didn't really understand. And, his house is amazing and you have to go down stairs to get to his room!!! It was cool. And it was so unembarrassing and normal and Jantzeny and delicious. There was a rooster clock on his desk. But, I liked it. And, it was just delicious and amazing and I loved it all.
THEN, we went into his kitchen where his mom was talking to Cooper's mom, and we looked at pictures of tiny Jantzen and then Jantzen started talking to Cooper on the phone and we were screaming gypsies. Meanwhile, Jantzen's mom didn't even look at us differently. And I told her about my Gypsy Staff and how we are gypsies and she's like "Well, that's a good thing"
Hahah I love her.
And, Jantzen's dad was...in a rocking chair. Outside on his porch... Just..Rocking. It was amazing.

Jantzen then proceeded to take us to Octopus Tree because of my fascination with trees and tree climbing so he thought I would appreciate it, and let me tell you. I did. I truly did. It was like a mile-ish walk (?) to the Tree and theres this other monstrous tree on the way to the Octopus Tree called the Fairy Tree that we also climbed.
THEN, we journeyed onto the Octopus Tree through White Sage plants and Mustard Plants and Sacred Canyon Dirt.
It was the most beautiful sight I have ever seen in my entire life. It is this absolutely monstrous tree with a tire swing, and a hammock and many ropes and carvings. It had perfect ledges and branches to climb upon and sit upon. Octopus Tree is my favorite. Ever. It is the mother of all trees, and trees are the best.
We had to go back after a while though because of the parental units and their dictator-like orders.
But, we walked back to Jantzen's house and had our tearful goodbyes. But not exactly.
And then, me and Jessica, who are both in white flats, empty our feet out. Then, walk in the hot Canyon sun back to the wasteland called RSM. When we got around the lake though, Papa Chiang came and retrieved me ): Twas sad, but I am content with the day's happenings.
Yes, I am. I am quite chipper

All in all, it was a VERY good day. It was kind of perfect, and kind of amazing, and kind of beautiful


P.S. This doesn't really give today justice because its something you had to experience to really understand. But, I tried my hardest. Because I know how you hate it when I ask you to just talk to me about it in person.

I learned something about myself today.
I don't know how to talk.
I don't know how to use my mouth and move it to compose understandable sentences.
I need to go to Speech Classes or something.

A probable reason of this lack of oral skills is maybe that I have been isolated in my room for a full day. My brain forgot how to talk.
Hence my pathetic phone call yesterday.
Hence my weird cross country talkings.
Hence I suck.

Any Suggestions or Advice for my poor soul?









This song now has new meaning. It's old and I used to dislike it, but now..It has been reborn in Joanna's eyes (:

Hey there Delilah
What's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Times Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true

Hey there Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice it's my disguise
I'm by your side

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me

Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good

Hey there Delilah
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me

A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame

Hey there Delilah
You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school
And I'll be making history like I do
You'll know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here's to you
This ones for you

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me.

-Plain White T's




Wow. Yesterday was so amazing.
It consisted of:

• Shameless singing, dancing, crazy car rides
• The Fair with Jessica, Cooper, and Jantzen
• Jessica's Boisterous Southern grandma
• Cooper's mom's allowing-ness
• Sticking to a wall in a spinning circle of doom with Me and Jantzen's legs and body parts intertwined. Unintentionally. Ish?
• Losing my EnV in the spinning circle of doom, then finding it frantically
• Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds and Hey There Delilah
• Piley Meaty Sandwiches
• Getting married again to my ex-husband.
• Spitting on people and throwing coins at people under us on the chairlift
• Watching Cooper's fencing lessons and seeing him own everyone's faces.
• Jantzen thinking some guy is Cooper, and him being embarrassed when he figures it out.
• Piggy back rides everywhere with protruding sharp hips ):
• FSD!

It was probably one of the best days ever. It comes second only to July 20th. Wow

I wanna Rock and Roll all night, and PARTY EVERYDAY
