1. Fine - This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

2. Five Minutes - If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

3. Nothing - This is the calm before the storm, This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with Nothing usually end in Fine.

4. Go Ahead - This is a dare, not permission. Don't do it!

5. Loud Sigh - This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here arguing with you about Nothing. (Refer back to #3)

6. That's Okay - This is one of the most dangerous statements a woman can make to a man. That's okay means she wants you to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

7. Thanks - A women is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome'. That will bring on a Whatever).

8. Whatever - Is a woman's way of saying YOU STUPID IDIOT! (Sometimes the 'Southern' phrase BLESS YOUR HEART [same meaning] will be used. Simply make the substitution of phrases and you may understand.)

9. Don't worry about it, I got it - Another dangerous statement meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing herself. This will later result in a man's asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to #3.

Holy crack, nothing else matters, I'm actually happy =D And for the stupidest reason...yet I haven't felt like this in...well forever. I love it =) But...I know this will have to end once he leaves. *sigh* I have butterflies in my stomach, I haven't had those since...well forever, since he left. Now they're back to haunt me. I'm happy yet I'm also so sad right now. All of this will disappear soon...I don't want it to go, any of it...

Trying to forget someone you love is like trying to remember someone you never met.

Everyone must go through a storm to get to a rainbow.

Curiousity killed the kitty.

Your heart says stay and battle the pain, but your mind says leave for all this isnt needed, broken into pieces for that one an only. But follow your heart because the heart can only take so much.

A winner makes commitment. A loser makes promises.

Live the life you've dreamed

A lie can run around the world six times while the truth is still trying to put on its pants.

They say loving you gives pains and full of sacrifices But I'll rather take pains and lots of sacrifices than not to be love by you.

If you love something, let it go. If it comes back to you, its yours forever. If it doesn't, then it was never meant to be.

Once upon a time something happened to me, it was the sweetest thing that could ever be. Fantasy, a dream come true, it was the day that I met you

Lets commit the perfect crime. I'll steal your heart. You steal mine.

When you're feeling alone, just look at the spaces between your fingers and remember that's where mine fit perfectly.

Men go out and do whatever they want, just as long as they come back to your home, they're yours. =P

Love is blind. Marriage is a real eye-opener.

So, finally stuff about me after such a long time. My name's Bao Tran Nhan, I lived in Vietnam for the first 5 years of my life then moved to the United States. I speak English, obviously lol, and Vietnamese. I'm currently 15, just turned 15 on December 29th. I'm a shorty, but I have long dark hair to match my dark eyes. I use to have braces but those came off like my glasses. I now (am suppose to at least) wear a retainer and contacts, which I often times sleep in during my ride to the symphony I play at. Yes, I'm a band geek =P

Band is the all time favorite class I have at my school. Sometimes it can be a snorefest but we always have fun one way or another. I'm a percussionist so we stay in the back of the band, the bad boys lol. Currently, we have 4 guy and 4 girl percussionists. Laura, Miranda (Mert), Shawna and me are the girls, also called "Luke", "Mike", "Shawn" and "Bob" lol, Conner named us after the band concert considering percussionists had to all wear guy clothes, even the girls. The guys are Evan, Seth, Josh and Conner.

I'm closest to Conner and then Seth, the other two...Well none of us really speak to them if it's not necessary. For the girls, Shawna and I barely speak, but I'm closer to Laura and then Miranda. They seem to both care about me and try to help when I don't know what to do, which is half the time. The other half, I know more than them lol. Seth says I'm probably the 2nd best or even the best bell player in the section, which I kinda agree. The other people don't really know much...even the older ones. It comes from my piano though so that's a cheat. Conner use to take piano with me. I don't really like drums much but I still join every year because I enjoy band. Lol why would I join percussion if i didn't like it? I was going to join flute but well...I grew a crush on Conner in 6th grade lol, well at the end of it, then one day, I woke up and wanted to be a percussionist with Conner. I didn't know there were more than one band so I didn't know that I could have been in the band that Conner wasn't in but somehow, we ended up in the top band, Concert Band.

People had to try out for that band yet I got in without even doing a thing...well Mr Dahlgren had told me to play 8th notes for him while he played quarters but that was it. The first day of band was the first day I got to test out my drumming skills I got from 3 weeks of lessons, which I didn't get a whole lot out of. I didn't even know how to hold drumsticks (there were many forms) so yup...was totally useless. I remember when Miranda had told me to go play Timpani and I had no idea what it was, I didn't even know how to say it at first, I know, stupid right? Lol I was just a loser percussionist. I didn't know how to read drum music because they never taught me, so on snare, i played both snare and bass notes lol, terrible. Conner helped me out through the first year and I grew to love it. I was about to quite 2 months into the year but he told me I shouldn't, to stay with him, made me feel happy =P so I did. I quickly learned the steps and we helped each other out.

Solo and ensamble came and I went with Daphne. We got a 93 outta 100, and that was also my solo score. I was...surprised. During honor band, both Conner and I got to go. Usually it was only one per section but I guess percussion was special lol. Barely any percussionists showed up. Conner and I were half of the section =P they had like 30 flutes and clarinets and like 12 trombones and 5 tubas and a buncha baritones and stuff but little percussion. That was when Conner and I became step brother/sister and Kathy became my twin sis. Haha...fun times. Joe, Seth, James, and Kathy were so hungry the first day, good thing I had food. Joe was hilarious, he was like "I love you Bao Tran!" when I gave him a bar of starbursts. Conner and I had a picture fight and I got a few pics of him. Then he asked me to go see a movie. It was...oh yeah, Cloverfield. I said I had to sleep for tomorrow so another day passed. It was fun, I wish I could do it again but high school honor band is very competitive...Conner's probably gonna be the one going from my grade. Just to think, I was Not going to go to honor band because I didn't wanna miss a day with Michael...Stupid me. I was going to give up anything, *sigh* even my music.

I like Music lol. Especially piano, that's my main musical instrument. My 2nd instrument is percussion. I also play random instruments too but those two are my main. I love the piano dearly and try to learn new songs on a daily basis. My inspiration? Well that's gone...I'll explain later.

Oh, Daphne, she is a flute lover, really, I mean it lol. She'd marry her flute if Dolce or Teardrop was a girl. She is THAT much in love, that was why she was in Concert Band with me. I met her in 7th grade when I first joined. We sat together on every band trip because it seems like nobody else would accept us lol. And besides, I prefered her over everyone in the band. Even Charlie Kloss, the first person I might have loved.

He was tall, and dark haired. Lol and I didn't forget his crooked nose, I never said anything to anyone but yeah, I noticed, I didn't care though. Charlie...*sigh* I sure miss him at times, but he was very nice to me, and pretty much only me lol. It was strange how I saw him change when he was with his friends or someone else to when he was with me. He's still a bit crazy, but just not overboard like usual. He's funny and charming and sweet unlike when he's with other people lol. I guess he acts differently when he's around girls but he sure acts like a maniac still around Ari and Sarah, and especially Carissa lol.

Carissa Dickerson is my bestest friend in the whole world. Her mother is a vet so she is very fond of animals. Her favorite kitty is Scruffles. She also has two others, Apollo and Venus I believe. Her two doggies are Duchess, the rough collie, and Buttons. We've been friends ever since 8th grade math with Charlie. Charlie use to sit with us when I was round, but when I left, he did too. She said he was only there because I was lol. Charlie use to try to hold my hand in class and Ms Herd would yell at him lol. Well not yell, just go "Charlie Kloss, I know Bao Tran is prettier than I am but would you please pay attention?" He'd blush and pay more attention but still try. Cute. Then he'd try to braid my hair, I'd braid his too. It was such a nice time...oh well, it's gone. Back to reality.

This is the most important person on here but I can't write much about him right now, I don't have time, gotta go on this tour thing. His name is Michael, I love him to Pluto and back times infinity and two and he's the keeper of my heart. He's still all the way across the world from me right now and I miss him dearly. *sigh* we broke up and it was all my fault.

People always ask why if I'm still so in love with him. Well technically he broke up with me but I had made him do that so it was actually me. I was trying to convince him to for quite a while, months if I remembered right. Finally he broke on Thursday, November 20th, 2008, the day before our first date to go see the Twilight movie. Very confusing, don't wanna get into that very deep.

We went out since technically February 21st, 2008, and it lasted till about a month ago, that's a pretty long time for people my age in my oppinion. I loved him, and he said he loved me. We had some amazing memories, at least to me they are. I have written about them in a journal entry and will update every now so often once I remember them clearer so check back soon! He often times gave me compliments and gifts but I didn't think they were very necessary; made him sad because I turned them down. I often made him sad in all sorts of ways so I figured he'd be happier without me, I mean he was before he met me. I did not want to allow myself more opportunities to hurt him.

I had an amazing short time with him, even if it was more like the Rockies than Charlie's which was like waves. The silly thing was I was ready to spend the rest of my life with him, stupid huh? I really thought I was going to grow up, marry him, grow old and die with him. Now that I think about it, everything I thought was true was silly. I thought he was actually going to show up to the Twilight movie with me for once like he had promised. I actually thought he was my soulmate. I'm so stupid, fairy tales are saved for books, life isn't made that way, especially mine. *sigh* It sure felt like a dream come true with Michael.
