Well, school is almost out...

Two more days to go! 

But I'm feeling very, very, very sleepy and on top of that I have a huge Chemistry final to eventually study for... So I'm gonna go nap now. Goodbye.

A story that ends with a very disgruntled cat.

I'd like to tell you a sad story. Sit down, mah child.

I made a new friend a couple weeks ago, his name will be.... Tiberius. Hey, it's a blog, I'm allowed to give people funny names! Anywho, I met him through some other friends and we all started hanging out during lunch. Well a few days later, we realized we're in the same math class! So when we realized this, he just started sitting next to me like it was the most ordinary thing in the world. This was a big deal for anti-social me because I previously had no friends in my math class and was just a very lonely kid with nothing to entertain her save binomial probability. But all of a sudden, behold! A nice guy decides to sit next to me! (And to do this he had to leave the more popular kids that he was sitting with.)
So for a while I was very happy. Every math class, we'd walk in together and he would sit by me. :) One time, we both sat down next to each other, but at two different tables that were pushed together, and somebody pulled his table away to the other side of the classroom. When this happened, he was like, "Oh no, we're being pulled apart!" And then he got up and sat on my other side, like it was the only natural solution to our separation. Okay, you probably see what I'm getting at by the level of detail I've gone into.
Basically, I started to like this boy. He shares my opinions on Doctor Who (that David Tenant is the best but Matt Smith isn't given enough credit, that Rose was a terrible companion, that the plot twists in the sixth season were the bomb diggity, etc...), loves Star Trek, is really funny, super smart AND on Speech and Debate AND Captain of the robotics team.... He's sort of my perfect guy. And I really thought he liked me too.
BUT, yesterday..... I was proved wrong because apparently, I'm very bad at picking up signals. Yesterday, he asked another girl to the prom. Obviously, I wasn't expecting him to ask me because we pretty much just met, but I had no idea he was into this other girl. To make things worse, she is a freshmen from my old middle school, so whenever I think about her, I always picture this tiny little sixth grader. He also did it in pretty much the most adorably romantic way possible. He asked her to prom... via robot. Yes. A robot drove up to her with a sign that said "Prom?", complete with a bouquet of roses. Part of me is sad because I really liked him, and the other part is really happy for the two because it was a very cute moment. Ohhh well, I'll just have to move on.
To be honest, I've listened to some sad Taylor Swift songs and now I'm feeling pretty good. It does kind of suck though, that every guy I start to like turns out to already be in a relationship. Never mind, I have my cats. I'll just have to resign myself to a life of feline love.

COME HERE KITTAY, PREPARE TO BE SMOOSHED IN REDIRECTED AFFECTION.

Well now I'm off. Did I mention it snowed last night and today I have no school? Hm, I didn't. You can tell I'm still not totally myself. Maybe I'll just bury myself in blogging today. Tell ya what, I'm gonna go out and take pictures of all the snow. That's what I'm gonna do! This will definitely take my mind off of my nonexistent love life.

FINALS ARE OVER. My 365 project is OVER. Everything is ending! WHHAATTT??

Hey guys!!! I've got great news! So all this week, I've been kind of depressed because I was sure that my finals week was going HORRIBLY. But it turns out... it went way better than I thought! All of my finals went pretty well and I'm getting As in all my classes!!! Well except Chemistry.... it's the one class I have serious trouble with. BUT, since I actually started studying for it, I've gotten a lot better! I actually had a pretty good feeling about it when I finished the final... Studying makes you better at stuff?? Whoodda thunk?
I don't know, I almost think I have trouble with Chemistry because it's the first truly challenging class I've ever been in... If I'm honest with myself (which I hate being because it sounds an awful lot like vanity) I think I'm pretty smart. And I've never really had to put that much actual effort into a class before. Meaning I've never had to learn how to study, because the issue's never come up enough for me to really need to! It's not that I take easy classes, please don't think that. And I'm not saying I get straight As all the time either, because I do get Bs sometimes. But that's always because I procrastinate and turn things in late, or I forget to include something.. It's usually a technical detail! But in Chemistry, I find that it's not just the technical things, it's the actual material that I have to put effort into, which is pretty new for me. And it's incredibly annoying. Grrrrrrrrrrr. But I guess I've got to get used to that.
Wow, I'm really sorry if that last paragraph was just insufferably arrogant. I really do hate coming off that way, because one of my least favorite things in a person is excessive vanity.
Mannnnn, this post is so far completely void of humor. WHAT IS THIS NONSENSE????

• It's a good thing that I have my library card... Why? Because I am totally checking you out.
• If a fat man puts you in a bag at night, don't worry! I told Santa I wanted you for Christmas...
• Crap, something is wrong with my cell phone! (What is it?) It's just that... your number's not in it!
• See my friend over there? He wants to know if you think I'm cute.
• People call me John, but you can call me tonight!

Phhhhhheeewwwww... That's much better. Pick up lines always take the edge off things.
Anywho, now that I've got all that boring school stuff out of the way, let's talk about something more interesting!! Hmmmmmmm.... Oooh I thought of something! Guess what??? Today is the last day of my 365 photo project! It's basically this project I've been doing for EXACTLY 365 days now, where I take a photo every day for a year! Kind of like a photographic version of the project I started Jan. 1st: 365 days of sketchin'...
But after today, my photo project is over!! It's such a weird idea. But at the same time, it feels really amazing. I remember when I started I kept thinking, "There's no way I'll ever actually complete this thing... I give it a month tops...", and now look at me! I'm pretty jazzed... But now I have to think about what my last photo will be. I want it to be something reaaaallllyyy special, since it's the last one and all. And what do you think I should do with the completed project? I was thinking I might make a huge photo album or something.. When/If I do I'll make a post about it and share it with you, mkay? And I was thinking that maybe later I'd post some of my favorite shots from the collection as well.
I think now that my finals are over I'll be posting a lot more, so that's pretty exciting. :) And I'll have time to actually update my sketch blog! YES.
Welllll now, we are having exceptionally nice weather outside today. I think I'm going to go for a walk with my camera. You should go outside too. Get some fresh air, yadda yadda yadda. Talk to ya later Senor Alligator.

I'm not dead....

...just studying. :(

Okay, I've got to go back now. But first I want to share something hilarious with you. I don't know if you remember that song "Sail" by AWOLNATION, but this is a spoof music video for it and it is REALLY funny. And beautifully filmed. It's filmed by meekakitty (youtube name, silly!) and it's great. At first, you might be like, "Wow, this is just some girl standing in the rain being annoyingly stereotypical". But watch till the very end, it's soooo funny!!!

And I would recommend you check out meekakitty's channel, it's full of hilarious music videos. And Nanalew's too. So do it. DO IT.

AAAAahhhhhh... The weekend at last. TGIF and all that jazz.

EXCEPT, I have to study for my chem final. Ewwwww.

Now I decided to let myself have tonight off, and so far I have spent it watching scrumptious episodes of Psych and 30 Rock, while playing with watercolors and eating peanuts. :) Yummy. I've also found myself in the mood to surf the interwebz for super cute pictures... And now I'm going to share some with you:

It's a BEAUTIFUL snake!

This picture is so gorgeous, and just really amazing.

This one too... but I it's also terrifying. The way I see it, she's clearly dead and being buried by the sand.

Those are gonna be some seriously sweet dreams...

 Waiting for prince charming (under a bench).

And finally, how to be a hipster photographer:

GRRRRRRR

School is annoying... It gets in the way of all the other things I want to do! I want to read, I want to write, I want to learn the guitar, I want to paint and sketch and blog and sing and dance around in my underwear... BUT I CAN'T! Because school simply insists on dominating every aspect of my life. >x(

It's very frustrating... Anyways, that's a long way of saying: I have finals coming up. School is being mean. There has been no time for me to blog.... I miss you. :'(

CHOCOSOYSPUDCATATTACK!

I have some pretty cool things to show you... Do you like chocolate, potatoes, soybeans and cats? Really? SUPER. Cuz that's what I'll be talking about.

First off, CHOCOLATAYYY. Mmmmmm... 

My French teacher is sort of the best. Her class is uber hard, but she makes up for it in two ways. One, we learn a lot of stuff and she's a great teacher so it's worth it. Two.... She brings us Belgian chocolate. That's right, you didn't read that wrong. MY TEACHER BRINGS ME CHOCOLATE! With an uber cute little elephant carved into it! Look how gorgeous it is!!!

Eating it was such an emotionally confusing experience. Obviously the fact that I was eating delicious European chocolate made me really happy, but then the guilt of chewing up and digesting such a gorgeous little elephant made me really sad... So I wasn't really sure how to feel about the whole thing. Oh well, I guess little Herman and I were only fated to know each other for a short time, like Romeo and Juliet. ..........And yes, 1) I did name my chocolate elephant, and 2) I did compare our fleeting relationship to that of Romeo and Juliet. Sue me, Shakespeare.

My next incredibly awesome experience I want to share with you just reinforces the idea that I and my food share special and romantic relationships. 

On Tuesday, we had these cute little mini potatoes that went with our food in the school cafeteria. And when I dished myself up a serving, reflecting on how much I officially love mini potatoes, I found this:

IS THAT NOT THE MOST SPECTACULAR POTATO YOU HAVE EVER SEEN??? I have to say it was the cutest little mutated spud that it's ever been my pleasure to consume. :)

And what could possibly top a heart shaped potato slice? I'll show you...

IT'S A BABY SOY BEAN!!! :D EEEEKKK... Wow, this post is really food crazy. 

And next....

It's a picture of my cat helping us pack up the Christmas decorations! She's keeping the newspaper from running away. Because obviously, newspaper has a tendency to do that... Duh. 

"Good girl, Luna, good girl! Sure, you're not edible, but you'll do."

365 Days of Sketching

Right now I'm actually avoiding my homework, so I'm just gonna make this quick. Thought I'd say hi, wazzup, good day to you sir and all that jazz! I realized now that I'm back in school I probably won't be able to post nearly as often which makes me super sad, so I thought I'd just soak in the glory of one last totally unproductive 10 minutes. :)
Oooh, another reason I might be posting less frequently is that... DUH DUH DUH DUH.... I've officially started my new sketch blog! It's basically a blog for my sketch project, where I'm posting a daily drawing for one year!! Exciting, right?? Obviously I'm already behind on this too, but I think I can do it.

Some info on my bloggg:

• It will have all kinds of sketches, from ink to charcoal to graphite to BLOOD. Kidding about the blood part. ...Or am I?? 
• The sketches will have all sorts of subject matter, from famous buildings to bits of fuzzy stuff sitting around on my dresser. Basically what I'm trying to say is everyday will be a new, strange and spectacular adventure!! 
• Whether all I produce is a 3 second scribble of nothingness or a 4 hour long portrait of David Bowie, I will share my daily sketch with you and I do hope you enjoy it. :) 
• And finally, if I completely forget to do any kind of sketch that day, I figure I'll just share past MASTERPIECES (heh.) with anyone who actually looks at the blog. So yeah! I'm super jazzed and it would mean the world to me if you'd go check it out! Right HERE.

You guys are the bomb-diggity! (Yes, that is my new favorite word.)

My first post of 2012. Soak it in, man, soak it in.

HAPPY 2012!!!!!! Are you all ready? I think this is going to be a splendid year and I can't wait to drown in fiery flames with you all on December 21st! I mean, that is what's gonna happen, right? Actually, that's just the end of the Mayan calendar... They didn't predict that the world would implode or anything, so don't go chaining your family together in the basement JUST yet. Idiots. Hm, italics me is kind of a bitch. Well we'll show her next December when our souls ascend to heaven while she's stuck on Earth as the world collapses! AHAHAHAhahahahahaha!!! ...That's the rapture. Oh right. What's supposed to happen this time? Nothing. So again, I repeat: idiot.


Woah. It just struck me that this will be my first post of 2012. And so far I've spent it arguing with my italic self. Maybe I should be more mature. You know, reflect on how I've grown this past year, what I've accomplished, etc. I'll tell ya what, we'll give it a try.


How I've grown/changed:

• I'm taller.
• My hairs gotten longer.
• I have two more ear piercings. Woooo. That makes three on one side and two on the other.
• You know these are really supposed to be more emotional and spiritual.
• Italics me, get out of my bullet points.
• Okay.
• Thank you.
• My eyes have deteriorated even more and I'm pretty sure I'm going blind.
• I've gotten even better at procrastinating till the last minute and completing the job none the less! Yesssss.

Accomplishments:

• I built a pair of Lego shoes.
• I finally read the first Hunger Games book. Yesterday, actually. Although I probably finished the last 50 pages in 2012, so does it still count? Yes. Yes it does.
• I can finally apply eyeliner without getting it ALL OVER MY EYELIDS. However a makeup guru, this does not make me. Yoda style.
• I made new friends! 
• I participated in my first high school play!! I really hope I do some more this year...
• I took the PSATs. Scored in the 99th and 98th percentiles! WHAT WHAT! Imma tell you a secret... My mom actually made me take the SATs in 8th grade and I don't want to brag but I honestly did really well. So the PSATs were UBER stressful because I was super worried I'd get a worse score than on my SATs. Buuut I didn't! *fist pump*
• I started a blog! Really, this is one of my favorite accomplishments and I am so grateful to anyone who actually reads all my rambling discourses. You guys make my days and my nights and I love you all! But especially you. Yeah, you. YOU. ARE. My very favorite. ;P
• Started a short sci-fi novella thingy that I'm actually really into. That doesn't sound like a big accomplishment, but for me, it is. I love love love writing, but I'm horrible at thinking up stories that I'm still interested in telling, 4 pages in. Maybe I actually have a chance at finishing this one! Who knows...
• And finally... I maintained a journal and filled it alll up. And then started another. (A sort of "second volume".) This may sound lame, but for me it is also a huge accomplishment. I've started  many a journal, but I've never filled a whole notebook with regular entries before. This is a wonderful first!

My Goals for this glorious new year:

• Work out regularly on my NEW TREADMILL! There's something just sooo great about running in place. I LOVE it.
• Start diving in to my community service so I don't end up doing it all my junior and senior years.
• Build up my college resume... Ick.
• Start wearing my cowboy boots more often. It's time the cowboy boots thrived again, my friends.
• Keep my room cleaner. 
• Force my dad to build me more bookshelves so I can be done with this ridiculous book stacking that's been going on. 
• Develop better studying and homework doing habits.
• Get straight As! But that's probably not gonna happen... Chemistry is hard. :'(
• Complete my "sketch a day" project, which you can check out at... http://365daysofsketching.blogspot.com/ !!

Well there ya go. A semi-traditional New Year's post. 

I hope you all have a wonderful 2012! You guys really are the best and without you, I would have nothing to keep me writing this blog and would probably then go insane. So thanks mom. And Miss Mixie. And Polethene Pam! You guys are the bomb-diggity. C:

Missing this so much....

I can't believe it's been 5 days since I last posted!! Well actually I can, I mean I did write a whole post about not writing too many posts for the next few weeks but STILL. I don't know.... I can already feel my psychological stability falling to shambles without my beloved blog... So I just thought I'd write a post and remind myself, as well as anyone else who actually reads this, that I'M HERE AND ONLY GONE TEMPORARILY!!! I feel sort of like a little who living on a speck of dust sometimes.... And this blog kind of helps if you know what I mean. Maybe you don't. Sometimes I don't. Anddddd now I'm just confusing myself. HEY. Fun Fact: Did you know that the book "Horton Hears a Who!" was written by Dr. Seuss as an allegory for America's post-WWII occupation of Japan, to help him move past his previous feelings of animosity towards the country? Yeah. Deep, right?
AnyWHO, (hahaha you see what I did there? No? ... It's good to be back.) I actually have an absurd amount of homework to do today because with the play and all the showings, I've fallen dangerously behind on my homework! We've done 4 official shows so far, with 4 more still to go. I can't believe it's almost all over!! Also,  I'm super sad cause I missed SO MUCH FUN yesterday when I left in between shows for a couple hours with my dad.... A bunch of the Christmas Carol cast went down to the mall and visited Santa and marched with a protest.... Why did I have to miss it???? And now there are all these inside jokes that I'm not a part of... ohhh woe is meeeee... Ho hum. I guess I've gone on plenty of other adventures... I've actually made quite a few new friends which I'm really jazzed about. :D Granted, I've also had inward insecurities about these friends, but that's for me and my therapist to talk about (meaning me and my diary of mental anguish).
Okay now I've really got to go. Later today I'm gonna try to finish my Lego shoes post.... So hopefully: bye for now!

Aloha means both hello and goodbye. So Aloha my friends. Aloha.

HELLLOO my daffodarlings!
I just wanted to tell you a few things. Unfortunately/fortunately, my play is opening on Thursday and I have shows every day until the Sunday of next week AND, on top of that, I also have mountains of homework and projects and tests lined up!! I am suuuupppperrrr excited about the production (A Christmas Carol) but sadly, I have only about an hour and a half a day to do all my school work and I will not have much time to frolic in the glades of my oh so wonderfully comforting blog! I love love love blogging, and so this makes me very sad... Especially since I had so many posts planned that I'd been hoping to do....
So yes, I just wanted to let you know I will be taking a temporary break from blogging. WAIT. Did you just hear that? Oh never mind... It was just the sound of my heart breaking.
I will try to post a couple things in the next few weeks, but just know it will be crazy and sporadic! I also probably won't get around to making up my missed mix tape... much less the one for this week. :( Nahhh, maybe I can slam something together. I'll try.
Now, it has come to my attention that very few people actually care about any of this... which is sort of bumming me out. So I'm going to depart. Goodbye, my friends! I hope to talk to you again, eventually! Wish me luck in my play! Here's hoping I'm not the kid who trips on stage and accidentally tears down the red curtains mid-fall.

Farewell for now! -Calypsoooo

PS Just to keep you excited, I thought I'd let you know that after I am finished with my busy, busy weeks, I will be hosting a free give-away for a VERY cool product!!

SICK!

Yup. I'm sick. :(
At the worst time possible, since I have to do all these rehearsals for the play I'm in... Yesterday, I was at SCHOOL on a SUNDAY for 10 HOURS. And all I wanted to do was lie in bed and watch episodes of Psych and Spongebob and Grey's Anatomy and Star Trek and gahhhh...  I have to go in again today at 12 pm for 3 hours. And again tomorrow for another 3 hours...

Stupid immune system! MAN UP. You're such a wuss! If you don't start doing your job I'm gonna have to fire you and find a new immune system. And you know how tough it is finding a new job in today's economy..... So I better see some marked improvement. x(

Apparently when I talk to myself I speak in italics... But really, my white cells are such sissies! Woah SEXIST REMARK THERE, BUDDY. Buzz off, italic me.
You see how weird I get when I'm sick? My brain gets all fuzzy.

Mix Tape #4: Wanna hear a secret? I kinda love you.

Since my first three mix tapes have been pretty silly and cheery, I've decided to throw in some sappy love songs for the heck of it. Hey, at least I made it 3 weeks before busting out the mushy stuff. Be grateful for that, if nothing else... But seriously, I love love songs. There's a reason that stuff is so popular. All the most incredible songs are about great love or great loss, if you think about it!
Okay, soo... there's this guy. Yeah, we're going to talk about boys now, pull through it! Or skip this paragraph, that works too. Basically, I don't really know him all that well and I don't have any classes with him but he's really cute... I work in the cafeteria and he started getting his lunch there everyday with his brother and I don't know why but he kind of.. this is going to sound weird but, "caught my eye". Yeah. I feel like a creeper. Anyways, every day he has this really cute smile and he looks at me in this way that makes me feel all fuzzy. That's the only way to describe it, I think. Fuzzzzy. And I really don't know him that well but every day we talk a little when he comes through the line. He always gets a chicken sandwich, except for when there are cheeseburgers (that's the only thing I definitely know about him so I decided to include that...) and I like to make fun of him for getting the same thing everyday but I secretly like it because it means I get to see him every day (chicken sandwiches are on my side.) The other day he "officially" introduced himself and his name is going to be Patrick as far as you're concerned. :) Haha anyways, that's why I thought I'd put together a little "crushing" mix tape. Whether you're in the same kind of situation or happily in a relationship/living comfortably with your cats, these songs are still great and I think you're bound to like at least one of them. Check 'em out!

1. "Gray or Blue" by Jaymay
I absolutely adore this song! It has an incredible voice to it and the lyrics are great. The words just feel like they've been ripped from your own feelings and thoughts and it's just a really great song that isn't nearly as popular as it should be! The ending of it is kind of sad and sometimes I listen to it and I don't really feel "better", but I feel understood. Miss Mixie, if you're reading this, I think you should listen to this song. I miss youuu, gorgeous! <3

2. "You Belong With Me" by Taylor Swift
Of course, no crush mix tape would be complete without a couple Taylor Swift songs. She is the country pop queen of cutesy love/crush songs. Fun fact: She's also my little brother's first celebrity crush!! Adorable, right? Now I decided to limit myself to one only so it was between this and "Teardrops on My Guitar". That was the first song I ever heard by her and also my little bro's favorite! But truthfully, it is far from my fav Taylor Swift song.. Sorry C-Dawg! And all you Taylor Swift haters out there... I hope you slip on a banana peel and twist your ankle! Losers. Sorry, but I fully support Taylor Swift. Yes, some of her songs are rather similar, but she has a good voice, she's very young, she writes ALL her own music, she's beautiful but not in a sad, fake way and I think she has handled her fame and success very well. That's all I'm gonna say on the subject. Conclusion: I'm pro-Taylor Swift.

3. "I'll Kiss You" by Cyndi Lauper
This is a little less sweet and subtle, more "AHHH LEMME KISS YOUUU!!" but it's also great. I love love love Cyndi, how can you not? She is fabulous and this song is great. Basically, she gets a potion from a gypsy that will give her the courage to go up to the guy she likes and kiss him. It's funny and awesome for singing along to and great for dancing too. Listen, it'll cheer you up after pining long and hard for your big crush. :P

4. "Crushcrushcrush" by Paramore
So this is not quite a normal lovey-dovey kind of song, it almost seems like she's using the word "crush" as in "smoosh" or "destroy". But I like Paramore and this is a good song with a very appropriate name. Something different about this is that it's more from the point of view of someone who knows they are being crushed upon.


5. "I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance With You" by Darren Criss (originally by The Black Kids)
A mouthful, I know. If you're one of those obsessive glee fans, you'll know this one already. First off, I watch Glee cause it's a great show and I'M NOT EMBARRASSED AT ALL. But also (mostly) because of DARREN CRISS!!! I lovveeee him... He's my celebrity crush... ;) You know those celeb crushes that make your heart physically hurt? You kind of have to be a teenage girl to get it. Anyways, it's one of those... And this song is just so... SEXY. I said it. (My opinion, obviously.) It's basically about this guy who loves this girl who has a boyfriend. She doesn't realize he loves her and he's saying "I'm not gonna teach your boyfriend how to dance with you, because I don't want you guys to stay together." I know, I didn't see that coming either. <-- (sarcasm, people).

6. "Every Breath You Take" by The Police
Super great song from the 80s! And perfect for this mix tape! I like that it's a guy who's pining too, cause it's usually a girl. Sooo... yeah. Classic song. For me at least. Go listen. :)

7. "The Girl From Ipanema" by Stan Getz & Joao Gilberto
I love this song too. It's very calm and relaxing but also very sad. :( It's about this boy who is in love with a beautiful woman who walks by every day, but he's never spoken to her before and she has no idea he exists. It's truly beautiful and a great way to end this romantic mix tape!

That is our mix tape for today! Sorry if you just can't stand mushy music... Better luck next time. BUT, if you are a hormonal teenager pathetically crushing from afar, or a grown adult falling in love, I hope this mix may have helped you at least a little. Good luck, my little lovebirds! Or not-lovebirds. Whatever. Bye!

Crabs: The Spiders of the Sea

Man, I totally forgot how stressful school can be. With all the rain that someone up there has started to dump on us, it's downright depressing. Although, I did get a teeny tiny part in the school play!! I am a member of the crowd (basically like an extra with no lines) but I am still very excited! I get to work with really good actors/actresses and I have always been interested in the performing arts, so I finally get to try it out! I'm not sure if it quite compensates for the pounding headaches I've been getting behind my left eye lately, but it's still something that helps make school a little less blahh.

Now I have some random questions that are not related whatsoever to the subject just discussed.

1) Why are tweenagers so obsessed with Taylor Lautner??? I think he is ridiculously unattractive. Okay, he's got abs but his face looks like a disgruntled pug that's been smooshed by some heavy fallen object. Not my definition of "attractive". Although I will admit I can sometimes have a pretty weird definition so I won't judge... But I will never understand.

2) Why did I just say "tweenager"? I hate that word. It's sick and against the laws of nature.

3) Why don't more people obsess over narwhals? They are the unicorns of the sea.

4) Why aren't more people terrified of crabs? They are the spiders of the sea. I actually read a question on Yahoo Answers once that said "Are crabs just spiders that migrated into the ocean??" ....yeah. And they were dead serious. EWWW.

5) Nice Peter is amazing. I know, I know that's not a question, IT'S A FACT.

Okay, I think I'm done. Oh wait! The fifth season of 30 Rock is now on instant Netflix!!! Now I'm done.

Chemistry and Really Mean Posters

Hello there. Do you like chemistry? Today I had an hour and a half of it and I spent it isolating some weird glittery yellow stuff. I think it had something to do with the law of conservation of mass but all I remember is it was really sparkly. Okay, don't think I'm some slacker who doesn't listen in class. I DO. I just didn't want to go into all that sciency stuff with you. Anyways.

There's a picture. I don't think you can really see the sparkliness of it, but believe me, it was there and it was pretty cool. Normally I don't really like Chemistry (I'm a Biology geek myself) but today was pretty cool in that I didn't have to do much more than stare at this beaker. Maybe if you drink it like the instruction packet tells you not to, you'll sneeze glitter. Or turn into spider man. Which would be cooler? Hmmm.

Another thing: those safety instructions they give you with every science lab. I wonder if people ever open those up in the middle of the year and go: "OHH! Am I NOT supposed to drink the unidentified chemicals in this beaker?? Really? Good thing somebody warned me! The only thing keeping me from downing that liquid that smells suspiciously like hydrochloric acid was my lack of a suitable bendy straw..." I feel that if so, those people really kind of deserve what's coming. Survival of the fittest, you know?

That sort of reminds me of this really weird poster in my Chemistry classroom. It's a b&w picture of this blind girl wearing these epic sunglasses and holding one of those stick things in front of her to see where she's going. It says, "Carol never wore her safety goggles... now she doesn't have to." It's pretty mean actually. In between the lines, it's all, "That's what you get, Carol. Too bad you can't see me pointing and laughing at you, haha just in case you didn't catch it, I'm referring to the fact that you're BLIND. Guess you got what you deserved. ...idiot."

Wow, I just reread that paragraph and I must really hate that poster...

So now that I'm done talking about Chemistry, I think I should go study it so I don't fail the class. Happy studying to all you other imaginary friends of mine! Pozegnanie! (That's goodbye in imaginary friend language.)

I lied. It's Polish.

School, spicy chickenwiches and stuff

I must admit, I've been neglecting this place for a while... School is just so time consuming! Oh well. Good news is: I don't have any bad teachers and I loooooove my English class! :D I also got into a Film Photography class which is awesome because I get to use the school's darkroom and learn more techniques, but it's only supposed to be for seniors and let's just say I'm not a senior... I don't really have any friends in it and I'm pretty sure everybody hates me for getting in but whatcanyado?

What else has been happening? Ooh I read a really cool book called "Love is a Mix Tape" by this editor guy from the rolling stones. Each chapter starts with a mix tape from a different part of his life and it is really cool. It makes me want to make an old-fashioned mix tape reallllyyy baddd. I told my dad this and he laughed so hard. I guess audio tapes ain't that cool no more.

Speaking of my dad, I've decided he's gone ever so slightly insane. I'm pretty sure this must be his mid-life crisis because he wants to buy a motorcycle and attain a weight LOWER THAN MINE. If he succeeds in this second goal I might have to kill him in a slow and painful manner. I just might.

Another thing I must kill is the cafeteria food I am now forced to consume! Since I'm going processed-sugar free, I can't eat the best food at school (the not-really-asian-food-but-still-served-in-a-chinese-take-out-container-with-rice food) and am forced to eat the really gross stuff like the spicy chicken sandwiches. You can't see it but I am silently shuddering in disgust. One is good, two is okay, but if I have to eat much more... who knows what will happen.

On that rather ominous note I shall make my escape. I'd rather go get lost in the rain, and drink pina coladas, but unfortunately I have to go work on school stuff now. Grosss.

yech SCHOOL

Well this is it folks. I've started school and I gotta say I'm already sick of it. The first five seconds were nice, but I'm ready for summer! Already. Why are there four years of high school???? WHY? Okay, I'm not going to spend this whole time ranting about school. I feel like I should at least wait a whole day before I start bagging on it.

On the bright side, I got to see a bunch of people I haven't seen in a while and one of my best friends has transferred to my school this year so that's cool. On the mega downer side, I don't think my obligatory high school "crush" even recognized me. So that kind of sucks. But ohhhhh well.

LET'S THINK OF SOMETHING HAPPY!! hmmmmmm. Did you know they've built a 12-legged robot that can walk on water? Oh, you did? Well I didn't. (Does that count as something happy? I'm not sure...) They've also built a working wallE robot. Why do I know so much crap about robots, you ask? I really don't know. I need more friends.

Man, this post really isn't about anything in particular is it? Nope.

I've got to go to class now so... bye.
