Crap. I think I selected the "Yes" option to remember this password; it was the IE pop-up that usually occurs... you know what I mean, right? But I think these computers vacate their mechanical bowels every time they are shut down, so I don't think I'm really worried.

I got my hair cut yesterday. <_< It brushes my shoulders now, instead of crawling halfway down my back. Well, at least it's not so scraggly anymore. ^^;;

Not much to blog, except yesterday's Knowledge Bowl was a complete joke. The highest score was eight, I believe, for B team. Our team, C team, got seven.

Anyway, in the Career Center again for Japanese class. Whee.

Oh shoot. This is terrible. I was beginning to suspect Chris' condition was serious, but a cyst in his lungs? ~_~ I'd better call him later and see how he's doing. If he does need surgery... I'll help him with his homework when he gets out.

In a happier light, I took this test, which I found at Neil's blog...






What Type of Villain are You?

Har har. You're right, it would be more convincing if I downloaded ICQ and joined you, but there's a good reason why I don't have ICQ anymore. (Mistah Supakuru! XD)

Um... have nothing to update with, really. It's been a very boring weekend. >_> I should do the chem book assignment and also do the introductory paragraph for my The Scarlet Letter essay, but... meh. I can do that later.

Also, I think my mom's been bribing me with food to stay home, but more on that later...

winamp: One Winged Angel (OST Version) by Sephiroth Choir (Final Fantasy VII)
Yep. All 7 minutes and 17 seconds of pure evil Sephiroth theme. XD

Added both this and this to my wishlist. I love the music of Final Fantasy, and I just can't get enough (I just can't get enough). And when it rains, you're shining down for me...

Sorry. It seemed apropos. XD I would buy them myself, except I need to start saving for Christmas...

winamp: Good Night My Blue by Kuko

I think I've been scarred for life. <_< Last night Gen-chan, Doug, and myself went to Olympia to see the Capital High School play, The Crucible. My goodness, they were so intense. And half of them have been in pretty much a thousand performances and belong to various drama clubs and troupes. <_< And their school is so much better than ours, too. So nice and shiny and... not trashy. ~_~;;;

I got an A on that chemistry test I was worrying over... and what really struck me was that none of the problems which required math I missed. Not even a point on any of them. I felt bewildered, as if someone had smacked me over the head and ran away laughing. Not that I'm not happy about that, but usually I have a pretty good sense of what I'll do well on and what I won't on a test (for the overall test I always think I'm going to do bad). People say not to keep a negative mentality, and so far it's been proven wrong more than 90% of the time, but staying negative means that you won't be surprised when it is bad. Ho ho ho...

... I officially have a date to Homecoming. <_<;; It probably seemed obvious from how much we were hanging out together, and yes, it is Doug. But strictly speaking, only as friends. I hope he doesn't think I'm considering this a date, because I'm really quite tired of all the romantic hype. There's enough to worry about, being a junior and all, without having to deal with guys. Strange, considering that I thought I would pine away for lack of male attention. Bah. >.< There's plenty of time for that crap later. Right now, I'm determined to try and have the best possible years before it's time to grow up.

Surprisingly still, I have no homework, aside from a paltry chem book assignment. There's clothes to fold, but I think I'll sit here and savor the last can of Dr Pepper. I also need to get new books to read. Badly. I've taken to reading Ender's Game for the umpteenth time.

Lately I haven't seemed very angsty, which I assure you is probably a good thing, but that's only because I've begun ignoring the main source of frustration in my life, although some days it's hard because he's so darn annoying. I hate his laugh. It makes my skin crawl and my ears ache. I kid you not. But most of all his hypocrisy and "Everybody loves me" attitude ruin all love for humanity I might still have. It's as if he doesn't understand how annoying and contradictory he is. Not to mention his holier-than-thou attitude. He once called me holier-than-thou for not letting him see my notes... when he had the same opportunity I did and was in the front of the class, like I was. He said I always take good notes but do you know why I take good notes? Because I've been taking my own notes for a long time, and I know what I want to write down or not, and I knew that if I let him see my notes, he would always want to see them, and eventually stop taking them all together and just copy from me. I am nobody's homework whore, and I certainly don't think that it's good to copy, anyway. The only way to learn to take good notes is to friggin' take notes in the first place. It's as if he feels everybody else exists to serve him. Some days I think it would very much be worth being expelled just for the pleasure of breaking his nose.

*whew* I don't care if he reads that. I've nothing to hide. Countless times I've made my dislike of him very apparent, and as of yet I have not named him (even if all my school friends know who he is), so I don't think it's illegal, either.

Oh, yes, and I've been stressing the last few weeks over having a B in Pre-Calc, but in truth, I have an A. -_-;; Thank you, Mr. Wallace, for letting me know so very soon.

I let Gen-chan borrow the game, so no more Sephiroth for me! Nothing special happens when you beat him (or so I've heard), so I'm in no hurry to beat him. XD (Hope the strategy I told you for the Ice Titan helps.)

What a friggingly long blog. >_> Well, I suppose this makes up for five days' absence.

winamp: The Game by Disturbed

Ugh. Uterus-shredding agony all day long. -_- I complained/whined to my guy friends that they have no idea how lucky they are in terms of not having a menstruation... luckily they didn't counter with the notion that they have to listen to me complain... They're wonderful in that way. ^_^

Anyway, spent most of the weekend goofing off with Doug rather than doing APUSH or chemistry homework. >_>;; Oops. It was really fun, though admittedly I was extremely nervous about meeting his dad, but Mr. Coleman turned out to be trés cool.

Wingy, I completely understand how that is. It's the same way with me in Pre-Calculus. I mean, it's not much different from Algebra III/IV, but somehow... my synapses just aren't connecting. I failed the last quiz and most likely will have failed this quiz... On some level I know I understand it, but my mind is like a dog that's refusing to listen to my commands. I hope things get better for you (and I'm sure they will; I'll sacrifice a couple kids to make it so).

*harumph* That's what you get for trying to rush through high school by way of college. Sure, it's great to have a challenge and get ahead, but if these are supposedly the best years of our lives, why should we rush through them? I considered the Running Start program, then rejected it; I would have no time for a social life (and even if I did have time I probably wouldn't employ it) and also... I'm in no hurry to grow up. I like being a kid. No worries, really. But you've always been difficult. Ah, lackaday, I'm sure you'll do fine in the Long Run. And did you ever think to consider David Gahan as a influential British male? :D

Curses, Neil! I keep forgetting to link you! Gah! And sorry about your bad day at the library; filthy places, I never liked them, even if I like books. The librarians are snotty and the people are annoying, inconsiderate.... plus, the books have funny stains on them. I haven't been to a library in who knows how long. I'll probably end up buying a copy of The Count of Monte Cristo, even though I already have one, because the one I have is friggin' abridged and that makes me angry because I thought it wasn't. -_-;; I suppose I'll rant more to you tomorrow before/after the PSATs....

...speaking of which, I better get higher than an 1140. Or then I'll know my brain really is deteriorating, and I'd better stop these video games. >_>;;

Stopped playing Kingdom Hearts after repeatedly and brutally being beaten by Sephiroth. Boy, that "Sin Harvest" is a buttmonkey. I have Second Chance on, so it only takes me down to 1 HP and 0 MP, but he's so quick I can't even start using an Elixir by the time he runs me through with his m.... his m... his long sword thing. >.< I can't remember what it's called. Murasame? Eh, something like that. I don't know how to lock Monstro (if it's even possible), so I'll probably try again since I've got all the pages of Ansem's report now.

All my creativity has screeched to a halt; I think it's probably due to Kingdom Hearts and Hot Date (which I now... have, I guess; well, have borrowed for a prolonged period from a friend, anyway). It's so confusing; one minute your jokes are funny; the next your "date's" annoyed because suddenly you're not so great anymore. What is up with that? Challenging, yes. Frustrating, hell yes. Well, at least it's like "Real Life" in that sense. -_- And I have no desire to get The Sims Online, or else no one will ever see me again for I shall have been sucked into the fascinatingly scary realm of an Internet life.

But I finally understand why I love Drafting so much, even if it is so damn repetitive. I love the precision that all the drawings must contain, the straight lines and neat lettering... Just looking at some of my work makes me happy, because it's so perfect.... Well mostly; I got docked two points on one drawing for my eraser smudging, but the smudge wouldn't erase! What was I to do? Mr. Bahr gave me an eraser guard, and now my sketches drawings are mostly smudge free. I love centering the drawing and making the guide lines for the shape... Right now I'm doing a checkerboard, and it's so much fun because it's boring (in a good way) and precise. I think they're might be something wrong with me.... ^^;;;

Ranted enough. I'm bored, but not bored enough to do more APUSH terms or study for the chemistry test tomorrow. (Just gotta remember significant figures....)

winamp: One of Us (Live) by Savage Garden

Beat Kingdom Hearts. I love Cloud. I love Sephiroth. Why didn't they get bigger roles? Everyone knows FF7 was the best game ever. *sigh* Alas, alack, and much woe to behold.

When I beat Sephiroth, Gen-chan will borrow the game. ^_^ Let's just say she'll be waiting a looooong time. XD How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop? Three, according to Mister Owl. And that's how many hits Sephiroth took me out in, on my first try. XD XD XD I love his theme song, too, "One Winged Angel." Just listening to it makes me want to play FF7 again.

Anyway, much homework to be had... Well, not really, 'cos I just finished it all. Ha ha ha....

winamp: Korobushka by Bond

Hee hee. I can barely type this. My left arm still hurts from giving blood.

What's that you say? Surprised to be reading this? Pamela, who has such a deathly fear of needles that she almost couldn't give blood because her pulse would skyrocket, giving blood? Willingly? Jenny says I'm very brave but I think I'm really just an idiot. For the entire time I was being swabbed and given instructions on what would happen when I laid down on that blue matress thing, I was giggling. All through the actual giving blood part I was giggling. Even when I also fell over at the juice counter and could hardly see straight I was giggling.

I think giving blood is a natural high for me. o_O Strange. The nurse lady tried to show me the bulging (yes, bulging!) package of blood I started laughing in a high screamy voice and told her I didn't need to see it. She told me I was a hero, but I neglected to pick up the sticker that would give proof of this. x_X Alas, only a fuzzy sticky thing and a cd case with HEROES CLUB on it is my proof.

Still a bit woozy and tired, but content in the fact that I finally have made a difference, no matter how small.

Ah, thank you Zeruel. ^_^ I love your ICQ pranks page. It has made my day less stressful. XD

I don't qualify for the Gates Grant. Apparently we make too much money. -_- I'd like to know where it all goes.

Ha ha... In Pre-Calculus, did I tell you? We're studying out of the new "Integrated Math Program" Year 4 book. Ha ha.... it's so lame. I thought I'd be able to escape it, entering one year before it was introduced to our school, but no.... I mean, who really cares about some guy jumping off a ferris wheel into a moving train car of water? Sure, it teaches us sine and cosine and velocity and all this other nifty crap, but... couldn't they have been a little more... I don't know... practical? I hate to say it, but when it comes to math, I like mine boring. @_@;; Also, I'm getting a B in Pre-Calculus, because I'm an idiot and failed the last (and only) quiz. x_x I really knew how to do it, but I forgot what numbers did what and everything... *sigh* It sucks. I'm doing better in Chemistry than Pre-Calculus, and I utterly loathe Chemistry. >.<

For everyone else, I'm sorry that I haven't been keeping up, but I'm trying. It's hard, with school work and extracurricular activities and also trying to find time for myself.

winamp: My Sharona by the Knack

Hee. I'm in Japanese class right now, which is taking place in the career center. I'm very, very tired this morning. No doubt from having stayed up late playing Kingdom Hearts again... but I always do my homework. -_-

Chemistry lab today. Yay. We'll be working with heat. I think maybe open flames. Considering the people in the period I take, this is probably not a good idea.

My issue of Game Informer did come yesterday, though at least a week or two late, or maybe my brother had lifted it from the mailbox and just never told me.

Well, time to do the assignment. ^_^

I have a few announcements.

One. EEEEEEEEEEEEEE! CLOUD! XD XD XD XD XD XD CID! EEEEEEEEE! XD XD XD

Two. I am one of three people that passed the first chemistry test. Of these three people (one of which being Gen-chan and the other my friend Chris), I am the only who got an A. Considering that Neil also received a C (he's in first period Chem and I'm in fifth), I naturally expected to get an F-. He's just so good with math and chemistry, and I just really stink at both (or so I think...?).

Three. Oh, OK. XD
