Holy crap, school tomorrow. Which means that in less than eight hours I will be sitting at a desk.

Why am I not in bed yet I do not know, nor will I understand ever.

And all of that homework. I guess I'll just have to hit up Starbucks tomorrow. Even though coffee is totally gross.

Anyway, I took someone's advice a few days ago. At first I thought it would be hard, but...I did it, and I feel a lot better even though it is a small thing. A lot more relaxed, to be sure. Though that could also be because my mom is gone, and for the first time in a week my sinuses feel remotely clear.

also also guys discedo is awesome why did I ever leave

I just have to manage it this time.

Totally stolen from amandier :

Give me a pairing and I will write a love note from one to another. The pairing can be my character and yours, mine and someone else's, or anything that strikes your fancy as long as I know who they are.

Okay, so like, 5D's 85 should exist, like, right now. 8| It's filler b-but, the hand on Mr. Exchange Student's shoulder--it was totally Yuusei's and daskjfadsf Yuusei might actually show he is interested/caring towards Aki what is this.

I could also talk about my life, but who wants to hear about that? I'm tired and I just want to go to college now.

Also, who is the jerk behind all of these Hetalia lists? If I find him/her, s/he will be vaporised.

( It's time to say this. )

Also guys, don't go to see "The Fourth Kind'. ds;lfdasf;a ItisscaryanditremindsmeofmyauntwholivesinAlaskaandwhobelievesintthatstuff.

Ugh, shitstorm is shitty. But it will get better. Things will have to work out. Still need that stupid financial aid stuff taken care of, but other than that everything is done. Somehow, I knew to expect this, to expect that the one thing my mom would need to do would be the last to get done.

I've been kind of crabby and stressed today, but I can't really use homework as an excuse since I am taking a break from it at the moment.  |D Got four hours of sleep on a couch, which really isn't the best place to sleep. Though, in general it has just been a really long day. Especially the talk with our journalism adviser after school . She and I talked for about two hours, and in that time she came up with The Plan. I am not sure how I feel about The Plan, which is, in short:

Fire the editorial board. All of us.

Her reasoning behind this makes sense, but...well, part of it is that she wants Journalism Guy to step it up, since he is the Editor-in-Chief and knows more than all of us. She is also a little upset about how he has been treating her.

She is going to re-hire us (perhaps even the new students, if they do well enough) based on a challenge. Put on the same level as the reporters, we have been divided into groups of four, and will have to have a complete story proposed, written, and designed by Friday. One thing she also made a note on is that she expects certain leadership qualities in each of us former-editors to come out.

I am concerned, but I think that I'll be able to manage. Fortunately she won't pull this until after next week, when this next issue has been distributed.

Tomorrow before school I'm going to talk to our Bible teacher about giving Soccer Kid some of the points back for group participation. Even if he was late doing his stuff and getting an article, he did more than everyone else. They all just copied my notes, aha. But since I have pretty good leverage with the teacher, he probably won't think twice about giving points to Soccer Kid.

( baw )


Aside from that, life really isn't too bad. Things just can get complicated sometimes for reasons that don't really make very much sense at all. Or because of things that are stupid anyway.

Off-campus lunch was nice though, and I don't have to do my English homework now, so that is good. And extra credit movie night is in like...two hours. Leaving school was kind of pointless, but it would have been lame to have just waited there for so long with nothing to do. Maybe I could have watched the guys play football? They like to practice with their shirts off even at this time of year, so.

He wrote my name in the dust on the hood of my car. |D How stupid is that? 

So yeah, today was really boring, weird, and frustrating. Nothing really happened aside from being ignored by juniors, pretending to write out Bible verses, and getting more stupid mixed signals.

Also, I hate slant asymptotes. They should be easy, but for some reason they are just so cumbersome. Though, in general, anything vaguely pre-calculus is lame. Unless someone likes math. In that case, I suppose that they could be cool.

J'ai une interro demain. Selon ma prof j'ai besoin de etudier, fff.

( Just ignore this--it's self therapy.  )

Also, I need ideas for NaNoWriMo. Either short stories or that stupid multi-part piece I keep telling myself to write. Yay for choices.

THE NEXT PERSON TO PRANK CALL IS GOING TO DIE A VERY UNPLEASANT DEATH.

srsly what is this

So, October SAT scores are in. I got a 700 on literature and 660 on U.S. history.  I am not sure whether or not to be disappointed  |D I honestly thought I had done way better on literature and way worse on U.S. history. On the latter test I left about a tenth of the questions blank, so....eh, what to do. I think the poems in the literature section must have gotten me. I  never understand British poems.

Today I have done...three things: found and cleaned up a mouse nest, rediscovered why I liked yohgurt, and finally cleared a level on Disgaea 2 that kept me from beating it on the PS2. I love PSP ports. But I would like to focus on finding out what happens to Ugla.

And this.

Also, happy Halloween everyone~!

Takk for invitasjonen, men ville jeg ikke være ved et plass med hukka. Også mest mine venner gå på vår skolen, så jeg kan ikke innby dem til konserten.  Aha, det er det. Lørdag skal være litt kjedelig.

Og i morgen: fordi den er onsdag, kunne den være interssant. French Club også. Vi møtes i løpet av lunsj, og jeg er viseformann, som er kjempeflott.

Omg yey, so close to being done with applying for college. I've decided to just scrap the UCs--even though I have state-wide eligibility, the application is way more complicated than it needs to be, and I really don't plan on going to one so what is the point of tearing out my hair. Tomorrow I'll get my mom to sit down with me and do our CSS profile for financial aid, I'll write a letter to my councilor, and then she'll write a recommendation for me. So, by the end of this week, I should have my application to St. Olaf turned in. ♥ And then on Wednesday I'm getting my roots done, and Saturday is Halloween. So, aside from all the tests and newspaper junk, this is going to be an awesome week.

Oh, and I'm writing again. I think the first part was pretty good, but the second part might be put on hold. I kind of want to write something for hetalia_contest . The prompt makes me think of an idea I've had for a looooong time.

Also, also, yes.

I wanted to do something for World Hetalia Day, but my mom won't let me drive to San Fransisco. I was going to go to Discovery Kingdom, but my sister's back is still messed up. So, instead, we went to the Nordic House, which was only 30 miles away from San Fransisco. Much awesomeness ensued, aha, and they had soooo much stuff. I really wanted one of the jackets they had, but it was so expensive. So instead I got a frikløver bar, seigmenn, glögg, and a mug.

( It is kind of a joke, but most people won't get it. )

Also, my sister now understands what exactly lutefisk is. I think the yellow hue got to her.

Protip: if you don't like rich food, don't eat chocolate with marzipan filling.

...It was supposed to be a small welcome-back-to-milk treat.

Oi, inspiration, get the hell back here. If it's the sick heart that is scaring you off, we can talk about it.

This is totally not a meme, but I want to know, what is your favourite word?

( Last night )

Happy birthday spiraling_sins!

Okay, so like, in the past week I have read...four books? I have read The Hand of Isis, In the Wake, Out Stealing Horses, and The King's Grace. What do they all have in common? I dunno. Nothing, really, when one gets down to the logistics of each book. I think that of all of them, Out Stealing Horses was the best. I am not sure why, but there is something about Per Petterson's writing. Usually first person doesn't do anything for me, but his strange and detached stream-of-conscious style of narration is really gripping for me. The changing from present actions to memories can be jarring, but it is also realistic--that is how memories overcome someone. Sometime soon I'm going to start Kristin Labransdatter, which is pretty exciting. I hope it will help me get a better grip on Norwegians and the Norwegian culture. Lately I have had the feeling that I'm just on the cusp of a really, really great idea for a fic, so I am trying to soak up as much information about the country as I possibly can. I miiight get something for the plague, since that is when Kristin Labansdatter is set, and also that something like 65% of the population of the country died within two years. Next I'm going to try and find the history behind a reference of Aftenposten being....communist I believe it was.

Ugh, and I need to respond to the meme. I'll get on that. Really.

And how is everyone doing? Enjoying cooler weather yet?

Also, also, help me decide: should my number in softball be 19, 47, or 50?
