I know what you're thinking -- Eww, Tara doesn't shower at all! Wow, she's so gross I don't ever want to be near her. Like, ever.
Well, tell you what, sometimes I don't shower for several days. Simply because it takes too much time. Too cold. Too much else to do. Too boring. So, dear community, I apologize dearly for wasting about half an hour needing to put water and soap and more water and more and more soap stuff on myself to clean. And I have really long hair, too. So that doubles the amount of time an average person who's in a rush would take. And plus the water is just soo warm.....and cozy...and I want to stay in it FOREVER and THAT'S THE PROBLEM, THERE, FOLKS. Too warm. Too cozy. Too tempting to just stand in there and SLEEP.
I'm the kind of person who hates idleness. I've been noticing this quality of mine acting up a lot recently. I haven't eaten a single meal without simultaneously reading a book. I've been reading books while sitting in cars for the past twenty years. And if I'm in class, and there's nothing to do? Heck, I'm reading, writing, or drawing up a storm.
And when I'm not filling my time doing something "useful", or giving my brain something to think about, I feel really twitchy and panicky and eugh it doesn't feel too good. If my hands don't have anything to do on the five minute car ride home, I'm aware of that fact for the rest of the day. So excuse me for braiding my hair while being given a lecture in History class. It counts as multitasking. I can listen to you while doing other stuff, you know.
Doing nothing kind of scares me. To me, there's no such thing as sitting back and relaxing unless I'm 1) reading 2) writing 3) drawing 4) crocheting (but while reading, because my eyes don't have anything to do and my brain doesn't either) 5) browsing Tumblr 6) sleeeeeeeeeeping (ooh I love sleeping let's save that topic for another day :3) and YEAH et cetera, et cetera.
I really should sleep now. I just spent the last hour crocheting. I'm suuuch a procrastinator. Probably not as bad as other people. But still. That's a problem I need to fix.
Talk to ya laterz! Tara signing off.
Smile! :)

Appreciate the Little Things (Part 2)
I'm pretty sure I had made another post with the same title.
I think.
Oh well.
Haha. Look at me. So lazy that I had to stick a "Part 2" on the title instead of taking the time to think up a new one.
Anyways.
I bet you're wondering why I felt impelled to put the title as it is.
Well, I'm here to put you at ease.
I've always hated my teeth. I still do, in fact. Don't glare at me, but I always notice other people's teeth, just to see how far away I am from achieving something that would be considered "normal". A lot of friends around me have been getting their braces (finally) taken off, and they're always elated and joyous and overjoyed and it just makes me feel so...powerless? For the reasons 1) this enemy of mine is something that I can't even control 2) this enemy of mine something that everyone will judge me for 3) it's probably going to take a really long while (like, over the "normal" amount of time needed for braces or headgear or whatnot. Ughh. Headgear. *shiver*) AND, 4) I feel like it's only happening to ME!
Half the people around me either have braces or straight teeth, and a time hardly ever occurs in which I see someone with as horrid teeth as I have.
In case you were interested, my teeth are crooked in the way that some top teeth are in front of the bottom ones, but some of the bottom ones are in front of the top ones. And all the teeth in my mouth seem squished together, and some are twisted (crooked, as in the flat part is facing 60 degrees in the opposite direction).
Sighhhhh. Well I guess there's no use complaining. We should "appreciate the little things", as in appreciate how YOU (Yes, you as in you there, reading this post, who has those annoying, heavy little braces) have those metal wires on your mouth and go through all that pain to maintain them, so that you will have good-looking teeth to present yourself with to the world. Some say that looks aren't important. Some say that first impressions aren't important. Let me tell you something. That's incorrect. Looks are everything (to other people), and first impressions are everything (to other people), in the way that other people will judge you for everything about you, your actions, your words, your looks, and that will affect (affect or effect? o-o) how both you yourself and others' projections toward yourself will be.
So all I'm saying is that although things may be painful now, it will turn out positively in the long run. And know that someone (me) envies you. 'Kay? 'Kay.
Smile. No matter how painful it will be.
Better start doing me homework. teehee

Weekly Wham #2
Hey guys! Can't believe I rememembered. :)
This week I was interested in optical illusions. Here are just a few that I found.
I searched up and found plenty of street art illusions, but this one specifically caught my eye. The ripples in the water are realistic, and the reflection of the building looks amazingly good. Although the outer rings is slightly obvious and the sky a little bit too blue, I think it looks perfect and I would love to have one of those in my front driveway.
I'm not sure what's going on in this picture. But I'm sure it's very optical. And illusional.
I love hand art. (Is that what it's called?) And optical illusions. This just makes me marvel at how this is just like 3D painting and modeling, but with much more unique and flexible "clay". So. Cool.
That's it for this week! Come back next Friday for a new three-set of pictures! You can check out last week's Weekly Wham, too.
Smile!

Who would've thought~~ Poem by TC
Who would've thought the world was round
Who would've thought the sun was a star
Who would've thought we'd scale the moon
It happened
Who would've thought we'd have electricity
Who would've thought we could blog on the web
Who would've thought we would be connected from around the world and back around
It happened
Who would've thought the grass would grow
Who would've thought the clouds would move
Who would've thought the rain would leave
It happened
Who would've thought I'd be standing here
Who would've thought you'd be standing here, too
Who would've thought you'd be holding my hand
It
is
happening
-TC

I don't really know where that came from. But you've gotta admit, as an only once-in-a-month-or-two-good-poem-writer-person, it can't be that bad? hahahaha. But I'm still going to scour through it, comb it, brush it, eat it, digest it, and spit it back out. After all, that's what good writers do.
Please don't copy/plagiarize/use/blurt as your own piece of artwork. I wouldn't grab your masterfully written stories and spit if back out without acknowledging you, would I? (Not that I'd want your stuff in the first place) (Haha ok just kidding) (I'm sure you're a very good person) So if you want to post it on your site or blog or Facebook or whatever and whatnot, please go, "Wow, Tara Chang is such a good writer this poem really touched my heart" or, "^___^ THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL THANK YOU TARA CHANG" or even, "wow this is a piece of crap who the hell is tara chang." Anyyything, as long as you credit me or tell people my name and who the author is or -- I feel like I'm being really nitpicky but OKAY FINE here's the deal -- just don't put it out as your own thing. Kay? Kay.
Smile! (:

I know, I know
Sorry. Again. For skipping out on you. Again.
See, now you know what I'm really like!
1) Usually don't follow my goals for too long
2) If I follow my goals for an abnormally long amount of time, then there is something wrong with me
3) Chance are I will not follow through those goals, though
BUT WAIT, TARA! YOU CAN CHANGE! FOR THE BETTER!
Uh, sure? Well, I guess, maybe, but --
NO, TARA! YOU CAN DO IT! I BELIEVE IN YOU!
I'm not quite sure about that --
OH NO, TARA! I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT!
Sigh. Let's drop this subject. Maybe if I forget to post again, I'll just post a picture to make up for it! Yeah!!!! That's a good idea. So I owe you three pictures...Kay.
So a while ago, like back in November, I wrote a History essay regarding the Winter at Valley Forge and other various events of the Revolutionary War. Today I got it back, and guess what -- I TOTALLY ACED IT. I ONLY MISSED ONE POINT BECAUSE OF SEVERAL TINY TINY TINY TINY PROBLEMS, BUT HE LITERALLY PUT AN A++ ON IT AND AN "I'm proud of you"!
I'm probably overreacting, but I have always wanted teachers to see my writingtalents abilities, and now someone important has verified it as a good piece of junk artwork! I feel elated.
I should start my workload now. Tara signing off.
Smile! (:
