Wow! It's already been two months since I made this blog! I can't believe it!
Right now, I already have 1 follower, Kess!
I'm so successful!
Heh, I'm kidding. I really don't care if I have followers or not. I mean, this blog is basically just me bragging about how much merch I'm getting and whatnot.
Okay, so it's Tuesday. We didn't have school yesterday because of Martin Luther King Jr. day. I walk into math, my eyes start acting weird, and so I basically know I am getting the stomach flu AGAIN. This is the 3rd time this school year.
So yeah, since I've gotten it so many times, like I said in my second post, I know the phases (or, at least how it goes with me) and their cures.
Phase 1: Eye troubles
This is a pretty accurate way to tell if you have the stomach flu. Basically, your eyes don't work as normal and it gets hard to focus on faraway objects. They seem out of coordination, and it can get really confusing and annoying, especially the first time you get it. The whole stomach flu can be stopped, or less painful, if you take 2 ibuprofen at this point, which I highly recommend if you aren't at school.
Phase 2: Light Headache
At this point, the eye troubles are leaving and being replaced with a slight headache. It will progressively get worse. Once again, if you haven't yet, take 2 ibuprofen.
Phase 3: Pale skin
Now, your head is really starting to bulge in pain. Your skin will also get pale and you may feel like puking. Take 2 ibuprofen, but the pain will stay for a while now so I recommend taking naps, so you don't feel it. Puking, if you can, also helps. In some instances, I find cold water also helps.
From there it just progressively gets worse, though I'm not sure how long it will last, since I haven't gotten that far yet (and hopefully never will). Basically, the moral of the story is that 2 ibuprofen will solve everything.
So, I basically told my math teacher I wasn't feeling well (at that point I was transitioning from phase 2 to phase 3). He saw my skin, and like literally EVERY other teacher said "yeah, you don't look too well". So I went to the office, my dad picked me up, I took 2 ibuprofen and napped (and puked once). I missed school the whole day, and I probably won't be able to go to rehearsals so I can recover. Oh well. I'm exhausted. I need this time off (to go on Tumblr and celebrate getting 2 notes on one of my text posts).
Now, off the topic of me being a sickly child.
While on Tumblr, you will probably see a bunch of posts concerning "personality types." I took the test here and I got INTJ, the second rarest type (2% of people are INTJs, 0.8% of people are female INTJs), and in my opinion (though it's probably just because I'm one) it's the best type. Then, I did some more research and found an awesome website called 16personalities. I read the entire thing. It was so accurate it's scary.
I'm not kidding. At the end, it even said, "you'll probably think this is so accurate it's scary."
Not. Kidding.
Heh. So, the whole thing was so accurate. I felt understood.
Honestly, my entire life I've felt completely misunderstood, especially by my one family. Kess probably was the most understanding person I've met, and she is an ENTP. However, we have the N (intuitive) and T (Thinking) part in common, which is especially what INTJs look for in a relationship. Kess and I have never even fought about anything, and we've been best friends for around 3 years now. We've disagreed and argued, but we also work those out, mostly debating and using logic, which you might recognize as key traits of an ENTP and INTJ, respectively. My other friends have yet to take the test, though I don't think they are INTJs or ENTPs. Actually, I'm 80% everyone in the Jellysquids is a completely different personality type, based on our diversity. I'm goal-oriented, Kess is argumentative, Sushi is really random, but also hides her emotions (from what I can tell), Queen is smart but not many people see that due to her sarcasm, and Ice is really shy and logical. We are completely different, so how do we have such perfect chemistry?
That is one of two reasons why this interests me so much. Honestly, these types are so accurate and logic-based, so I believe them. They aren't just a little zodiac thing. I want to look deeper into connections of different personalities and how 5 people who probably have 5 completely different personalities can get along so well.
The last reason, is because, I'm just drawn to it. Like I said before, I've never felt understood, but knowing that there are other people like me, INTJs, who completely understand me, is amazing. I'm pretty sure I've never gotten to know an INTJ really well before, probably due to the rarity of them. Mostly, though, it's just that I felt understood.
Heh, sorry to bore you. But really, you need to take the test and find your personality type, because this is accurate.

Ace and Two: But She's a Mom
Hello~
I am writing this on Saturday, but I'll publish it on Monday, as scheduled.
And I felt like you totally needed to know that.
Totally.
So, today we had musical rehearsal. On Saturdays those usually go from 9 to 4.
Which if you're wondering, that's 7 hours, as long as a regular school day.
But I'm not complaining, I love acting.
Anyways, to the story, I have gotten the stomach flu about 5 times in the last school year, so I actually know more about it than my actual mom.
And she's a mom.
But, as we all know, moms are invincible when it comes to common illnesses, so my mom doesn't actually know how it feels.
Unless she got it a lot when she wasn't a mom.
.ico)
Anyways, I know how the stomach flu works. So, when my eyes started to not work properly, basically I emotionally prepared myself for Hell until my parents came to pick me up.
But of course I couldn't just say "My eyes won't focus. I'm deathly sick and I need to go home now and get an ibuprofen and nap for four hours."
No. I needed to wait until it actually hurt and it was too late for an ibuprofen to solve the world's problems.
.ico)
So, I ate lunch. In case you're wondering, Kess and Sushi were there. Kess is in orffestra (yes, orffestra, not orchestra), and Sushi is in choir/drama with me. Queen has been there but she had to leave for a dance recital just as my eyes started hating me.
I told Kess and Sushi about how I was probably going to die in the next four hours. (of course they replied "Ebola". We aren't actually that immature. We just poke fun of people who actually do that.) They were understanding and tried to cheer me up but at that time my head wasn't hurting yet, so it really may not have seemed like a big deal to them.
Oh, did I mention I was an hour late that morning because I didn't wake up till quarter to 10? So, in a rush, I forgot to bring a jacket. Luckily for me, Sushi let me borrow her jacket (which was two sizes too big, I'm the smallest in my group of friends and Sushi is the biggest). Despite the size difference, I was really thankful.
In the middle of lunch, my head started to hurt. After about 5 minutes it seemed almost like the apocalypse to me. Of course, all these sayings of death and Hell and apocalypse are just over exaggerations, but I just wanted to tell you how much a phase 4 headache in the stomach flu hurts. The first time I got the stomach flu last year, I actually broke down it hurt so much. I'm more used to it now, but that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt. It just means I can hide the Hell in my forehead.
I decided that I didn't want to stay here any longer because I wouldn't be able to take ibuprofen(which, by now you can tell, solves the apocalypse of the stomach flu in addition to 4 hours of sleeping).
.ico)
So, I went to our conveniently-outside amphitheatre where rehearsals were taking place, and after finding the only one there was the orffestra teacher (who also teaches me piano as of a month ago). So I told him and he said he could tell I didn't look good (my skin was pale) which was no news. Every time I had a stomach flu and asked to leave school (which was 3/5 times last year) the teachers all told me that 'I didn't look good' so I knew he would reply the same way.
I used Sushi's phone to call my mom and dad, but they both didn't pick up. I learned later that they were at a church service, so they had their phones turned off. Then the orffestra teacher told me to lay down in his room (which is adjourning to the main stage, and the instruments had been taken out for rehearsals) so I grabbed a couple pillows from the instruments and lay down. Sushi and Kess were there, occasionally laying their heads next to mine and joking about how we could all be "Ebola buddies"(which Sushi later titled our G+ chat) and then the rest of the time playing games on their phones (if they got caught they would just use the excuse that they were comforting me). Despite their uselessness, they actually did comfort me just to know they would stay by my side (that is, until lunch break was over and they had to rehearse more).
About an hour later, me not being able to nap with all the noise of rehearsal, the orffestra teacher let me call again. Luckily, this time my mom picked up, and even more luckily, they were only five minutes away.
After being picked up, I took a couple ibuprofen and napped. If you're a light sleeper like me, usually it will take a couple naps before you feel completely recovered.
.ico)
So, I left at about 1 and woke up around 4:30.
Immediately after I got Skittles (my favorite candy) and started to write this.
Thank you guys for listening to me complain about how I'm a sickly child. Now, onto other news...
This week was surprisingly great other than today. I'm pretty sure I ACEd my two science tests and I know I ACEd my social studies test. As of now there are only 4 more days of school and 1 rehearsal until a 2-week winter break. On the second week of break Kess, Sushi, Kess's neighbor and I are going to our first anime convention, SacAnime (well, except Kess's neighbor, but she's a couple years older so she's been to I think 3 or 4 anime conventions). Even though I may have watched 21 anime as of now and read some manga and light novels, I actually only got into anime last July, so I didn't really go to any conventions yet.
.ico)
In case you're wondering, I'm going to roleplay as Winry from Fullmetal Alchemist in her casual outfit. We actually only began to think about last month, so I didn't have much time to put together an outfit, and my parents had to pay 15,000 dollars for something about our other house up even more north California, so my siblings and I won't get as much stuff for Christmas this year. I have about the same hair color and length as Winry, and her casual outfit is pretty basic, so I thought why not go as her? I originally was going to go as Christa, but I wouldn't be able to get the SNK outfit in time. So that's how I ended up going to go as Winry to SacAnime.
.ico)
Oh, let me tell you, I don't live in Sacramento, but it was the closest good anime convention near me (I live in northern California) so I used what I could. I also can't drive yet and my parents would never take me to an anime convention so I let Kess convince her parents to take me, and then after we got Sushi into anime she decided to come along too. Kess can be pretty persuasive, so I can imagine it wasn't hard to get her parents to take us, especially since her mom (who shall be referred to as Kmom from now on) watched anime in her high school and college years. Kess is 100% Taiwanese, and born and raised mostly in Taiwan, so her parents like to embrace Asian culture (even though they're not Japanese). Sometimes, after Kess or I discover a cool anime or kdrama, Kmom will stay up all night and binge-watch the whole show.
I'm not kidding.
Well, back to the subject of SacAnime, Kess is going as Touka-chan from Tokyo Ghoul. (which she adores as much as I do), and Sushi is going as Hanji from Attack on Titan/Shingeki no Kyojin (Sushi is like Kmom, a binge-watcher, so she finished the whole Attack on Titan season in about 3 days). Hanji is perfect for Sushi. They have similar hair colors, they both wear glasses, and they are both nearly insane, so I find that Sushi won't have a hard time going as Hanji.
.ico)
Well, thank you guys so much for reading this. If anything happens between now and after school Monday, I'll update this. Once again, thanks!
~Ace loves chu!~
Oh, and new thing: Video for the Week!
Since I just re-watched the entire season of Tokyo Ghoul and started the manga, and since this song makes you cry even over the burning of an ancient library that people on tumblr say humanity could be really advanced if they hadn't burned it, here is the Tokyo Ghoul theme, "Unravel", music box version!
