Hey all!! School's starting on Saturday. This time for real!! Home's been good. I guess it was bound to happen anyway. I'm done with most of my school shopping so now I have to go through and find any little stuff is left.
A new store opened at the mall. It's called Truworths. And I went a bit crazy in the store too. They were having a mystery discount so I went a bit crazy buying random junk. And all I got was a 10% discount so I had to put some of the stuff away...

So today I had to go back to the mall today got some bowls for my mum and i got those cool pair of sunglasses. Yeah yeah I know summer's almost over but hey, there's mid term and Christmas (it always sunny in Ghana!)

Urgh so school. I miss Leighton and everyone else. Norway was an epic fail that's why I'm still here (I was this close to going!!). But hey!! I'm still good!!

Loving: Mimi, the Ghanaian housemate. She pwns excessively!!
Not liking too much: Lucille (forgot what country. Party up girl!!)

Ah! well. Being lazy and crazy at the same time pwns!! Last night, I went out to dinner at a French restaurant with Jeani, my cousin Ama and Kafui, a really good friend of ours. It was a helluvan awesome night. We laughed for like 2 and a half hours straight...

...Oh wait! You were expecting me to say that I'm in school right? Sorry, the school decided to give us an extra week. So imma be back on the 30th and start IB on the 1st of Sept!! woot!!

The Olympic closing ceremonies were good. I really hope London is able to keep the Olympic standard high. My mum doesn't like the logo. Their little spectacle was cool. Leona Lewis performed!! And Jackie Chan sang too!!! I want one of those doll mascots. They're so cute...

Hey hey!! What's this? Tawana (aka the mother cause she's the oldest) and some other guy are having a heated discussion about religion. Action already? Things are looking up!!!

Ha. So. Another week. Yum... This week needs to pwn absolutely!! I'm going to an store opening on Tuesday!! Can't wait!!!

I know I should have gone with them!!

Listening to: some woman on the radio talking about something (not really listening...)
Woke up at: 8:45
Health status: cold (has lasted for about 3 days now)
Still: in my PJ's
Will: go berserk if I don't do something active soon...

So I'm been lazy for the past 2 days. And it's been good. But it gets boring fast. Ok lets recap

Monday:
Did nothing. Mifa and Momo slept over and had to leave at like 7 so I had no other option but to wake up. Just lazed around. Tried to finally complete Twilight Princess but couldn't cause my Wii kept on going off on me. Watched 'Chicken Run' and 'A Series of Unfortunate Events' and the next thing I knew, it was 6 and 'The Simpsons' was on!! But my mum kept on making me run errands during the show so I didn't really enjoy it much. boo... Daddy came home and watched 'No Country for Old Men'. I should have watched it with him but I was busy chatting with Jeani (she says that when we chat, we sound like we're insulting each other. I kept on calling her a n00b. I always do!! ^_^) Then my cold kicked in and I was sneezing like crazy. My eyes watered and I started talking funny (that's the part I like about getting a cold... don't look at me funny...) After my parents went to bed, I stayed up and watched 'Hot Fuzz' for a bit then switched to 'The Queen'.

Tuesday:
Woke up not feeling to good so stayed in bed for another 2 hours, totally forgetting to watch 'Mr. Bean's Holiday' (so much for watching it before school...) Tried Twilight Princess again but the Wii went off on me again (grr...) Later on, I went over to Michael's as Jeani and I had planned. We played Fusion Frenzy 2 Tournament mode. Jeani won. The setting were you had to conquer 3 planets to win and by the time we had played in all 7 planets, Jeani, Michael and I had 2 planets and the CPU character had one. And since we didn't want to replay the plants all over again, we played rock paper scissors to determine the ultimate winner! I remember the Wired magazine article I had read on pwning in R.P.S. I think it said playing scissors first.

The result?
rock...

paper...

scissors!!

Michael and I: scissors
Jeani: rock

X_X own'd!!!!

After, Michael and I played Need for Speed Most Wanted and Soul Calibur IV (no Link... *sniff*) while Jeani watched Ouran High School Host Club on my iPod. Then, Michael and Jeani played The Sims 2 recreating the characters from Enchanted while I watched videos of the Dramatic Looking Prairie Dog and Angry German Kid on Michael's iTouch. Then my mum came to picked me up cause Edna was back in Accra for the night and no one was at home. We picked up some groceries and headed home. Uncle Keli dropped by then we went over to my grandmother's house who lives like 2 blocks down from my place. Edna, her mum, Edna's aunt, Fanny who's 23 and some other lady we're there so we we're there for a bit. Edna and Fanny stayed over at my place for the night. After settled them in, I went online and chatted with Precious, Keith and Nana Yaw.

Lemme introduce them...
Precious: A really good friend of mine who moved to Ohio a few years. When we chat, she wants to call. starchild has taken a bit of a hit this summer so I'm kind of letting her recover. Eli wants Gossip Girl but I don't want to use Limewire cause if I do, starchild may end up like my dad's old Apple. *shudders* Has a tennis match on Thrusday. ROFL'd when I heard she plays tennis.  She didn't understand why...And she made my summer fun 'casue we had never chatted until this summer. And she left years ago...

Keith: A friend of mine who just started his sophomore year at school. (ha ha!! IG's!!). He spent his summer in Tennessee which I will refer to and Tennis Land for no apart reason (Sorry any Tennessee readers!! ^_^).One of the few sophomore I'm kinda ok with (That grade is such a dramatic one!!) I think at this point in time I should mention that my other best friend, Erika, is in his grade. (Luv ya Leighton!!!! xXx Can't wait to see you on Saturday!) Told him to go to bed 'cause he had school (He's a day student btw)

Nana Yaw: One of my classmates who left for the US. I sat by him for some part of 8th grade and he was ******* annoying!!!! He was telling me that he got into some college in Philly. And all this time I thought he was still in Ghana. So when he mentioned 'Temple', I looked like a n00b.

Where was I?

Oh yeah, yesterday!!
So after I signed out, Edna and Fanny went online and I stayed up until 3:30 playing Twilight Princess, Guitar Hero III, Super Mario Galaxy and Super Smash Bros Brawl. Then I read Microserfs for a bit. And Edna's alarm woke me up at 5... but I went back to sleep and woke up agian at 8:45

So far today,
Edna and Fanny got dressed and left to go to Legon. At this point in time, lemme just say that i was hoping to spend me time with Edna but she hangs out with Fanny. Maybe it's the French.
I think maybe i should have gone with then to Legon but I was feeling uber lazy to get ready.

So now, I'm gonna play the Sims 2 (Michael gave me the discs for Macs!!) while listening to Karmacode by Lacuna Coil and find some way of getting to Oxford Street (not by taxi, I have very limited money... and they may cheat me...)

The Starbucks Dream- I'm gonna add caramel to it for you, is it ok?

Listening to: Make me wanna pray by Christina Aguilera
On the phone with: Jeani
Just finished: eating fufu and palmnut soup (a traditional Ghanaian dish)

The sun is a beautiful thing. I had a epiphany while I was at the mall today. The summer is almost over and I hardly had any sun time. So when I got back home, I grabbed a chair, starchild, Microserfs by Douglas Coupland and my phone -ultimatepwnage- and I now have the sun in my face!!


And today too, I lived out a fantasy I had been dreaming about for some time. Lemme explain- I love coffee shops. Starbucks and the like. So I have this fanatsy of sitting in a coffee shop with a book or laptop with a cappucino (or whatever caffeine thing. I'm not really big on caffeine... yet)
Caitlin had to do her hair so my mum suggested the salon in the mall cause she hears the peole are quite good. So we dropped Caitlin at the salon, my mum went off to do grocery shopping (cause I'm uber skinny right now and I need to gain some weight before school starts or my friends will think I was anorexic over the summer) and i made my way to the coffee shop at the food court

But my fantasy was derailed...

Today, a large group of people were advertising a debit card which I thought was quite cool. While walking through the mall, I was asked twice to sign up. I declined both times. The third time was when I had left Caitlin in the salon and was making my way to the food court. This lady came up to me and practically dragged me to a seat and asked me to sign up. I told her my student ID had expired and my exam candidate number was different from the normal Ghanaian candidate number. She said no worries and the next thing I knew, I had an e-zwich debit card with the Ghana Commercial Bank logo on it. If I had known, I would have signed up and gotten one with the Standard Chartered logo. My mum was a bit upset (not at the fact that i got a card, the fact that the GCB logo was on it. She works at Standard Chartered :-D)
Either way, the card is quite cool. And most of the shops in the mall support the software anyway. So it was a bit of a win-win thing. Except the GCB logo. I still have some Guitar Hero III stickers. I'll use a few to cover it up...

And finally, Sedi lives out a fantasy!! ^_^

I get to the coffee shop like 20 minutes later and order a cinnamon twist with a vanilla milkshake. While waiting, i curled up in a corner and read Microserfs. I wasn't on cloud nine though, maybe cloud 6.5.

So that's been my day so far. Later on, I'll play Super Mario Galaxy and Super Smash Bros. Brawl after my numerous guests who are currently at my house right now leave. Tonight, I have my room to myself!! I'm so excited!!

(The Daily Show Global Edition at 9:30!! I missed the 2:30 airing...)

This sucks for you!! or me maybe...

Watching: One on One (Dunno what season)
Eating: Reese's Snack Bar and a huge chocolate chip cookie
Wishing: nothing at the mo
Trying to: Download Maroon 5's "It Won't Be Soon Before Long"

...well...my first post...I should say something... I dunno...ok... here goes...

Let's start with the basics. My name's Sedinam but everyone calls me Sedi or Roxy (even some of my teachers) The 'Roxy' is a long story...

My summer's is ending in a week. And I must say it's been uber awesome even though I didn't travel. Last year, I spent 90% of my summer in the U.S. It pwn'd! This year pwn'd too in it's own way. 

My parents went to L.A. early in the summer for the Rotary Convention so my sister Elikem (aka Eli) and I stayed with our uncle and cousins Mawena (Momo) and Mifatu (Mifa or Miffy) for 3 weeks. After my parents got back, my cousin from France, Edna, came to stay with us for 2 weeks. When she left for Niger, my other cousins from London came: Caitlin and Kiva. So they are leaving tomorrow and Eli went back to school today. Sucks for her!!

But in between all that, I got a summer job at a internet cafe, took driving lessons and went to a Fat Joe concert (it pwn'd!!)

So... facing the final week, there are stuff I wanna do like...
-Go over to my best friend Jeani's house and finally watch parts 2 and 3 of the Pirates of the Caribbean series (I never watched them.Ever... >.<)
-Go over to my cousin Micheal's house and played Fusion Frenzy 2 and get the Sims 2 on my Mac (whom I have named starchild. She's a 13-inch white Macbook!!)
-Hang out with Emily and Micheal before Emily goes back to London
-Hang out with my other cousin Gabriella (still haven't heard back from her...)

Analysis on the first post: UBER BORING!!!!! If I keep this up I'll slowly fade away into oblivion...
