So before it gets too late:

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY, FELLOW AMERICANS. HAPPY MEANINGLESS DAY, PEOPLE FROM PLACES THAT AREN'T AMERICA.

My mom was working and the usual people with whom we have wild holiday parties with were out of town, so we made hot dogs and then went to go see Spamalot for the second time. Mmm, Spamalot. And hot dogs. Mmm, hot dogs.

(This post really has no point. And I typoed that as pint the first time I wrote this.)

There is already a thin layer of dust on my summer reading.

7 days till Argentina.

So I saw Wicked again last night. I have to admit, seeing all those people my age in one place? Was painful. Yeah. I don't do good with people my own age. =/ It makes seeing shows like Wicked very difficult.

( this show made me cry. AGAIN )

ALSO!! MY GRADES CAME IN!!

English II: B (YEAH TAKE THAT MR. SCHAEFER)
Ethics: A (OMG FUCK YES!)
Honors Advanced Algebra: B (YEEEES I PASSED MATH AGAIN THANK YOU GOD)
Honors Chemistry: C (oh who was i kidding. i hate this class.)
Spanish II: A- (HELL YEAH! :D :D :D)
World History: A (:D :D :D I LOVE THIS CLASS SO MUCH AND I WILL MISS IT ;_;)

I DID IT!

I'M DONE WITH SOPHOMORE YEAR!

It was...wow. I can't believe I'm finally done! And some of my grades are up! I got an A in Ethics! A really high A! I'm going to miss that class more than I think I should ever miss a class EVER.

So now it sunshine and flowers for the next few months! :D :D :D

Proof that the television gods really have started smiling on me:

HOLY CRAP.

I honestly haven't given much thought to Haruhi since the eighth grade (!!), and I finished reading all the novel translations a while ago...but eeee!!

:D

(Oh, Hirano Aya. I miss you.)

I am very excited for fall. :)

I have narrowed my ethics project down to three choices:

1. Violence in media
2. In vitro fertilization
3. Cloning

I will be majorly pissed if all three are taken. IF ANYONE ELSE WANTS TO HAVE VIOLENCE IN MEDIA, THEY WILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH ME AND MY PURPLE-BUT-SOMETIMES-PERIWINKLE-IN-FLUORESCENT-LIGHTING BACKPACK TO GET IT. DO YOU HEAR ME?

;_; My right foot was stepped on three times today. Twice by the same person. COME ON, I'M STANDING RIGHT HERE.

SO IT'S NOT LIKE IT TOOK ME FOREVER OR ANYTHING, but I finally finished watching Skins. (In my defense, I watched it twice before I wrote this.) I...am far too lazy to think all the way back to the first two series, so I'll just ramble about series three.

( i've actually been writing this list since march. i'm just a bad, bad procrastinator. )

Also, I was watching Buffy, and...is it just me, or does Darla look kind of like a pig when she whirls around to face Buffy in that one scene in, like, the first episode? I don't know. Like, her nose and lips look very...pig-like. IT'S BUGGING ME. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHEN I STARTED WATCHING THIS MUCH TELEVISION.

I've given in and started watching the Korean Boys Over Flowers. I sincerely hope that they will not disappoint me.

However, I am not going to get my hopes up, because I know that none of them will manage to be as attractive as Sato Megumi. (Though I am hoping the guys are better looking in this one. I'm looking at you, Matsumoto Jun and your weird-ass lips.)

Dear Wicked,

I take back every single not-nice thing I have ever said about you. Not that I ever really said anything not-nice, but I think I called you overrated several times and said that your music was kind of sucky. Which, well, it kind of is. But that's not the point. Because you were amazing tonight. You gave me goosebumps nearly every song and awoke in me the desire to build a huge mechanical head on wheels. You even brought me close to tears at several points, which sadly broke Spring Awakening's record of Times A Show Melted Emily's Shriveled Heart. You were just a million different kinds of awesome tonight and I'm sorry I ever thought you were overrated. Well, okay, that's a lie. You are overrated. But having seen you, I can now say that you are significantly more rated than I previously thought. You brought some serious awesome tonight. So thank you. Please do not start sucking and make me take this letter back. Because that would be embarrassing.

Love,
Me

( i love vicki noon. and kendra kassebaum. and vicki noon. the tech for this show was amazing. you know what else was amazing? vicki noon. )

IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN!




Mmmmmm, Girl Scout Cookies...

My chem teacher is insane. Insane. She must be going senile. I can think of no other explanation for the homework she assigns us.

I love burritos.

Happy Valentine's Day, guys! Hope you get lots of free chocolate and things~~

♥

Holy crap.

It's kind of a pity that I don't care half as much as I did last year...but whatever. :D :D :D I'll be in Jersey, probably, but it's still exciting just knowing that they'll actually be in the same country.

Even though a part of me is expecting a train wreck, because that is how UFA does it.

John Barrowman is strangely tan. He looks vaguely like a very symmetrical Oompa Loompa.

I'm excited. :D (But seriously. Every single damn kid in the world just stopped? Oh, Torchwood. You're lucky you're all so attractive.)

I've probably done this before, but it's FUUUN!

From avalon_usagi:

1. Reply to this post and I'll assign you a letter.
2. List (and upload, if you feel like it) 5 songs that start with that letter.
3. Post them to your journal with these instructions.

I got "O", and it was surprisingly hard.

Epik High - "One (ft. 지선)" - I love this song. I love it, I love it, I love it. I don't think there are even words to express my love for this song properly. So have a keysmash instead: D'AGE'A]GWA'GEKLNHAIU3] TABLO AND JISUN'S VOICE IS HOT AND GAAAAH. Yes. I do enjoy this song.

Jewelry - "One More Time" - Is it possible to want to have a song's children? Is to the urge to do so even natural? Um, yes. Loooove.

Morning Musume - "Onna ni Sachi Are" - Because, really, what kind of person would I be if there was no Morning Musume on this list. Seriously.

HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR - "OXALIS" - Or is it Okizarisu? Whatever. Like I care. ♥ Also, why Maakii, why.

Vanessa Carlton - "Ordinary Day" - And now, for something in English!

(BECAUSE I COULD NOT PICK JUST FIVE, I REALLY COULDN'T: Spring Awakening - "Once Upon a Pirate Night" - okay, so this song is not even in the show anymore but it's PRETTY and it's also the only one that starts with O, okay. Also, SNSD - "Ooh La-La!". Okay, I'm done, I swear.)

We got the prettiest flowers from the dancers for closing night of the dance concert. I will take a picture, because it was just so incredibly sweet of them. *sniff*

And now, I am off to...do homework? I think. Or something.

I just noticed that in certain angles and hairstyles, Naoko Mori looks kind of like my mother, only without wrinkles and freckles.

I don't think I can watch Torchwood the same way again.

I didn't have tech today, so I went to Barnes & Noble because we had a gift card and hey, new books. I walked around the teen section for a while, but there was nothing but rich-teenagers-drinking-and-having-sex and vampire books. And Scott Westerfeld and Meg Cabot don't have anything out yet (I think the last Princess Diaries book is out, but it wasn't there, so I'm now online reading spoilers because that is how I roll), so I was forced to give up. A pox on you, mysterious YA author who isn't writing anything for me.

Therefore, the next logical step was to go into the children's section. Because tbh, children's fiction > YA fiction. Seriously. I found about three books in the kids' section (okay, young readers, whatever. Seventh graders. You know who I mean) that I bought and read when I got home. I was particularly excited over Fairest by Gail Carson Levine. Because OMG GAIL CARSON LEVINE, GUYS. And OMG GAIL CARSON LEVINE WROTE A REMAKE OF SNOW WHITE. THIS IS CLEARLY THE MOST AWESOME THING I WILL READ IN QUITE A WHILE.

...it wasn't.

( After five years of awesome, Gail Carson Levine ruined my life. Okay. Not really. WHATEVER. Also, Princess Diaries. )

Ah. It felt good to get my dork on for a little while.

(Rereading this, I mixed up tenses so many times it's almost painful. But I'm too lazy to fix it.)
