Food

Hey world xD Long time no rant... Glad to have me back? ~coughcough~
I HAVE A REASON.
Kim and I were discussing the incorporation of food in the club. Well it began with ... discussing cake... cuz ... we tend to do that alot... and then it led to MASS PRODUCING CAKE and selling it through our precious club. And then that thought quickly transitioned into food in general... and we developed a plan >:D ~ominous music~ o____o
We were basically thinking about having a weekly sale, on the day of the club meeting. Someone brings food, we sell it, rate it, write some idolizing comments, and incorporate it in a brochure. Half the profits go to a good cause ;D most likely breast cancer. If the profits... are existent. People can then order food from the brochure.
Well no details are decided as of yet, but just needed to... post something... and I felt that I needed to share with the world our brilliant idea x] and food is a necessary part of PanzerCrafts.
So peeps look forward to another source for weekly gluttony... or a source o_o not sure if there are any already. But either way this'll be the most amazing food EVER.
It'll probably be a long time again before I post something... cuz I don't do crafts regularly xD but... till then... bai...

Elections.....

OMFG! ...so today we had elections for who was going to be ASB president ASB vice, ASB treasurer, ASB something else that i forgot...and then senior class pres. and vice. So...ANYWAY! the only ones that really mattered was the election of the ASB president and the senior vice president. so for anyone reading this...please don't be offended because we all have our opinions and this is mine...so here's my rant.. (btw...in my rant I have included many opinions from people who shall remain anonymous..but i share the same opinion as they do) The other elections didn't really matter because the candidates ran unopposed.

First of all the ASB president between Vince and Lilly...SERIOUSLY HOW COULD LILLY HAVE LOST!!!!? THAT IS BLASPHEMY!!! I mean her speech was engaging (breakdowns fo sho x] ), it showed spirit, power, and dedication, and it was actually meaningful! Not that Vince's speech wasn't good...it just wasn't AS good as Lilly's...call me biased but I trust Lilly more than I would trust Vince. She actually does things for our class (2010) and she raised soo many events that raised soo much money for us...she made decisions that benefitted us even though it meant not having things that we should have like junior class dance. The sacrifices that she made and the dedication that she put, made her worthy of being junior class pres. but still she would also be a wonderful ASB president...look at all the things she's done for US and our CLASS! I do not know if Vince can pull a feat for sure...but who knows? He might succeed and outdo Lilly...but if he fails...then our class will fail as well....AND WE DO NOT WANT TO BE A CLASS WHO HAS TO FAIL AND PAY HIGHER SENIOR DUES....I mean who wants to pay more senior dues in an economy like this....I just don't want the money that Lilly worked so hard to earn be washed down the drain.

Second of all, many people including myself believe that this election was unfair and not trustworthy...1.) people could have "stuffed the ballot" meaning that there are people (such as ditchers who are supposed to be in class *cough* seniors...not saying they were the only ones ditching..) who came in twice or maybe more times in various periods where they voted more than once for the same person....that is considered cheating and unfair. WHY? Because the majority of this whole stinking school believes in popularity...it's true BUT IT'S SAD! In order to run for these elections, the candidates have to have some popularity in order to have the crowd go to his/her side....Vince is really popular and Lilly is uber popular also but not to the point of having voters who want to cheat. seriously now?! I'm getting the feeling it's not about how meaningful the speech was or what the main goal is....it's the person's popularity and how much influence they HAVE! sure..I and various others have voted for Lilly because we like her and she's one of our best homies...but also because she's dedicated and we know that she WILL DO SOMETHING WHEN SHE SAYS SHE WILL TO THE BEST OF HER ABILITY! The "cheating voters" have skewed the votes and made this outcome.

Third of all, now I will go to the part of Angel vs. Stephen for senior vice. ok..I may not know Angel very well, but I consider her a trustworthy and good person. DID U GUYS SEE THE VIGOR AND POWER SHE HAD WHEN SHE WAS ADDRESSING US? she interacted and memorized the speech which was better than reading off a paper and saying some random stuff that pops up. She has many "goals and dreams" and she showed us that she has done something that's worthwhile! Stephen won because of his popularity and he might have actually done something worthwhile too..but his speech was convoluted and not clear of his goals to making next year the best it can be.

Well...the what's done is done...and I hope we have an excellent year next year and make it worth remembering. =) The voters cast their vote and this will determine whether they made the right decision or wrong one. I wish the new president for ASB and the vice pres. for the senior class good luck and I hope they will take their jobs seriously because our class depends on guidance from them. If they go astray...we will be in disarray.

OCARINAS WITH VEGETABLES

Anyways.. A while back, I found this AWESOME Japanese guy who can really play the ocarina. WITH VEGETABLES. He makes his own ocarinas and plays music with them. A few examples are carrots, a mushroom, a cabbage, an apple(whoops.), radishes(daikons), and even an ostrich egg! This guy is INTENSE!

Check him out on youtube: heita3

Virtual Hamster ftw

Due to the immense difficulties I've been having with live hamsters this past year, I decided I'd get a virtual one, forever living on this blog. Click on an empty spot to feed him, and don't make him obese like Sunni's hammy~~

;P yaya i no its kinda stupid but go away. lemme alone >:[

Note: ' the freak? where's this dude's TAIL!?!??! xP!

P.S. yes, he's also in the lil textbox thing above the posts, and yes, he does act differently than his clone, pssh. When this post slowly disappears amongst all our other posts, the one above all posts will be visible to all still. So there. Hah.

REQUESTS/ My Policy :)

OK. Heres the laydown.

1) I will NOT fix earrings. When you get your earrings thats what you get. If YOU break it, it is YOUR own fault. If I gave it to you FAULTY or if the wire broke(and the earrings is intact) I WILL fix it.

2) The earrings that I sell are FINAL. NO EXCHANGES. NO REFUNDS. I do this only because its a pain to look for you at school, and most likely you don't want to see me at school.

3) When I fix earrings, be patient! I have plenty of other things to do besides fix your earrings! I'll fix them when I have the chance!

APs are OVERRRRRRRRRRRRR! :D

That's all for now folks. Now, I think I'mma go post some other stuff...

I thought this was....interesting

So i am an extremely curious person, and after reading this "Joke"...well read it for yourself and see.


A man is driving down the road and breaks down near a monastery. He goes to the monastery, knocks on the door, and says, My car broke down. Do you think I could stay the night?

>
>

The monks graciously accept him, feed him dinner, and even fix his car. As the man tries to fall asleep, he hears a strange sound; a sound like no other that he has ever heard . The next morning, he asks the monks what the sound was, but they say, We can't tell you because you're not a monk.
>
>
>
The man is disappointed but thanks them anyway and goes about his merry way. Some years later, the same man breaks down in front of the samemonastery.
>
>
>
The monks again accept him, feed him, and even fix his car.
>
>
That night, he hears the same strange mesmerizing sound that he had heard years earlier.
>
>
>
>
The next morning, he asks what the sound was, but the monks reply,We can't tell you because you're not a monk.
>
>
>
The man says, all right, all right.. I'm dying to know.If the only way I can find out what that sound was is to become a monk, how do I become a monk?
>
>
The monks reply, you must travel the earth and tell us how many blades of grass there are and the exact number of sand pebbles. When you find these numbers, you will become a monk.
>
>
>
>
The man sets about his task. Some forty-five years later, he returns and knocks on the door of the monastery. He says, I have travelled the earth and devoted my life to the task demanded and have found what you had asked for. There are 371,145,236, 284,232 blades of grass and 231,281,219, 999,129,382 sand pebbles on the earth.

>
>
>
The monks reply, congratulations, you are correct, and you are now considered a monk .We shall now show you the way to the sound.
>
>
>
The monks lead the man to a wooden door, where the head monk says, the sound is behind that door.
>
>
>
>
>
>
The man reaches for the knob, but the door is locked. He asks, May I have the key ?
>
>
>
>
>
The monks give him the key, and he opens the door.
>
>
>
>
>
>
Behind the wooden door is another door made of stone. The man requests the key to the stone door.
>
>
>
>
>
The monks give him the key, and he opens it, only to find a door made of ruby. He demands another key from the monks, who provide it. Behind that door is another door, this one made of sapphire . And so it went on until the man had gone through doors of emerald,...
>
>
>
>
>
>
>
....silver, topaz, and amethyst.
>
>
>
>
>
>
Finally, the monks say, This is the key to the last door .
>
>
>
>
>
>
The man is relieved to be at the end. He unlocks the door, turns the knob, and behind that door he is astonished to find the source of that strange sound. It is truly an amazing and unbelievable sight.

. . But I can't tell you what it is because you're not a monk.

Kimby's First Earrings!

Yayayyayy!! :D My turtle earrings. The wire loops are WAAAAY too big, but these are my first handmade earrings, and I'm working on it.

I can make some for sale for about... $4 I guess. Not much of a profit ~sniffle~ but hey, first let the world know us, THEN reap profits... ~evil cackle~

Hehe... Hope you like 'em ;] More posts coming soon.

P.S. these earrings were made for my own enjoyment ;P and duplicates might not look the same. Somehow, I can't reproduce my own work... Sorry >.< // I'll try though! >.>

Club Positions!

Yoyo Authors and Admins... I wanna figure out some more club stuff.

First of all, who's interested in being a treasurer? please reply in the comments page.
Second, who wants to be the secretary?
Third, who wants to fight sunni for the VP position? (Srry, ure all gonna be pwned ;D shes a co-founder ;D)
Fourth, who wants to fight ME for the P spot? If you wanna, go ~bleep bleep bleep.........~
I'm founder (with my dear soulmate Sunni course ;D) of this club, and take pride of it. Founders = Presidents, so bug off. If you prove yourself worthy, maybe next year you can lead the rest of our Panzer army.

Um... that's all for now. If you're not an author nor an admin, please don't mind this post ;] As the first line implies, this post (well, most of it ;P) is for Leader Panzer eyes only ;D

Yay! Business

So, we're getting more business. Goot, no? ;D With the help of Thuy Vo, news of PanzerCrafts has spread to... no, not many, but a handful of LJHS peeps. We're working on it. For now though, we do have quite a few new customers, including some of my little sister's classmates haha! Hopefully, business will continue to grow, and by next year, we'll be a full-fledged club at LJHS, if not our own special company. Hehe. Thinking of opening an Etsy shop, but still need the funds. Maybe some of us crafters could join forces? (namely jess, ashley and myself)

When all else fails...

The internet is a wonderful tool.

Since we're on the topic of APs anyway, I've come across a few sites that I'd like to keep track of here. They may help you, they may not.

Horace Greeley HS's APUSH Review
APUSH Study Kit
APUSH Cram Packet

AP Stats Study Sheet
AP Stats Assumptions for Inference

Will edit if I find more.
You're welcome to help!

APs: COMMENCE!

Sooo... Tomorrow's the start of our APs. Fan, Sherry, and myself (Kim) will be taking the AP CS A test in the morning, and I believe Sherry will be taking the AP Stats one soon after. That suxs. Wish us all luck! (and esp Sherry ;D)

w00tah for missing eng! and math! (id rather take the ap cs test than go to cs class ~yawn~)

Anyhoo, I figure for the next few days, there won't be many posts in general. My apologies. Once APs are over though, I for one will get back to updating the blog and stuff. I have TONS of new earrings to post, along with some custom ones, ordered by Lorelei Loranzo (her name's sth like that). She ordered 3 whole pairs! w00t! :D Please notify me if you're interested in helping to make them (Jess, APan); you get $1 for every $3 purchase ;P aka 1/3 of the profs. Keeping us motivated.

Well, with that, fare-thee-well for the day ~yawn~ x] its time... to cram. ~dundundundun~

-Kim

//omg!! Badminton conditioning after the AP CS exam! aaaaah!!!

Well seeing how you are all girls...

Someone wants me to post so i guess ill continue with my posts. Heres something that might be interesting. Be sure to comment! Let other girls who come here play this game too, im curious about what their decisions are.

THIS IS A GAME!!!(so read it all, no skimming), play along. Pick your future husband :)

A store that sells husbands has just opened in New York City, where a woman may go to choose a husband.

Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates. You may visit the store ONLY ONCE! You may choose any man from a particular floor, or you may choose to go up a floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the Building!


(Tell me which floor you decide to stop at after girls, there are no maybes, say I WILL STAY out loud if you want to stay, if you are uncertain and check the next floor, then you did not stay)

(Scroll down slowly, read whats on each floor 1 at a time, decide if you will stay or not before you scroll on)


On the first floor the sign on the door reads:

Floor 1 - These men have jobs and have the same beliefs(religious wise) as you do. (Will you stay?)














The second floor sign reads:

Floor 2 - These men have jobs, have the same beliefs(religious wise) , and love kids. (Comeon, thats pretty decent. Stay or no?)

















The third floor sign reads:

Floor 3 - These men have jobs, have the same beliefs(religious wise), love kids, and are extremely good looking. (The American Dream? Will you stay?)
















the fourth floor's sign reads:

Floor 4 - These men have jobs, have the same beliefs(religious wise), love kids, are drop-dead good looking and help with the housework. (What could possibly be better then this? Will you stay now?)





















the fifth floor's sign reads:

Floor 5 - These men have jobs, have the same beliefs(religious wise), love kids, are drop-dead gorgeous, help with the housework, and have a strong romantic streak. (This has to be as good as it gets right? Stay or no?)






















Floor 6 - You are visitor 2,006,455 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store. Watch your step as you exit the building, and have a nice day!



So which floor did you girls stop at? Im curious :)

Just a joke type of post, no offense meant to anyone.

Finally!

Sorry for the delay! The blog is back up and running! Some things have changed, and the navbar is missing, but I'm working on it. For now, I've added a link list to the top of the left column for the convenience of authors, admins, and other bloggers alike. Sorry it's not as handy as the navbar, but please, live with it.

Juggling Balls - Creation #1 ;D

Ohhh my goshfulnesses. I did something. So I was extremely enthusiastic a while ago if you recall... I think I informed? About juggling balls and stuff. So I made this. "xD...

Yuppp... thats it... the amazing... um... new and craptacular juggling ball. The kind that fails at everything xD except its extremely comfy to play around with ^^ (which I did for about half an hour after I finished it...)
Actually its only fault is that its not very asthetically pleasing, which I DO have excuses for. Firstly, I just grabbed the first remotely clothish piece of cloth that I found, which was a ... rather... dull... green color... and that got all frayed at the edges... and stuff... then I stared at an instruction thing, barely understood what it meant, and cut the things out in like 2 minutes.
Then today I decided to work on it some moore cuz I was bored and busy procrastinating as usual. And the only sewing machine I have is a really old thing that I don't actually think works... sooo had to make it by hand... -.- which I did rather quickly and carelessly... and just an hourish ago I finished it and stuffed it with the first rather roundish type of uncooked food I could find. Namely brown beans... AND like the ignorant fool I am I understuffed it. ~exasperated sigh~
In the future I'll use... a sewing machine lol x] and suedette or some... identifiable material. And millet fo the filling x]. So future jbs WILL be highly asthetically pleasing and completely functional :] (~under breath~ no promisessss...)
K pooperscoopers. Hope you like the POTENTIAL I have to be a pro jb maker ;D... yeah..
