Fucker.

LOL YOU GUISE

So today was the gay rights day o' silence thing. My mom let me skip school. Nice going, mom. You've made me a lot less enemies.

I spent all day lying in the sun and reading sci-fi and napping. Then I went for a walk around sunset and everything was really gorgeous. It's unseasonably warm and balmy. Nice going, weather patterns. You've made my day really pleasant.

I'm going to get a detailed report from some friends once I get back to school on what, if anything, went down. I'm so glad I didn't have to be there.

If I hadn't had a headache this would have been pretty much a perfect day. When they ask me at Guidance "well uhhh what would you do on your perfect day?", I'd say dozing in the sun and reading Heinlein. Yep.

For those of you on my flist who don't remember last year's demi-debacle involving the day o' silence (and I don't blame you lol), here it is

When it takes me three hours to write a page and a half of essay, it makes me wonder if I actually write well, or whether my constant, uncontrollable, and time-consuming self-editing just manages to make mediocre writing seem more polished. Does this make sense or have I fried myself writing about Harry Truman at 4 in the morning?

LOLOL THIS CONTENT STRIKE REMINDS ME SO MUCH OF THE GAY RIGHTS DAY O' SILENCE. THE CONVOLUTED THINKING LEADING UP TO THE EVENT, THE POINTLESSNESS OF THE DAY ITSELF, THE INEVITABLE SMUGNESS AFTERWARDS,  AND THE OVERWHELMING CLIQUISHNESS. I AM LOL'ING, ESPECIALLY SINCE IN A COUPLE WEEKS I GET TO DO THIS ALL OVER AGAIN IRL!


HOPEFULLY I WON'T INJURE ANYONE THEN.

Because for me it was yesterday. No I didn't take it. I should have. There WAS room in my bag, it was a GORGEOUS (dead, barn) owl, and I'm PRETTY sure it's legal to take them since they're not endangered (or ARE they?). I found it by the side of the road while walking from school and I just HAD to have it. Oh man it was amazing, there was like no visible injury to it and it had a wing spread out so you could see all the feathers and alsd;fjsdjf I need a camera. I kinda wanted to take it home and cut it up or draw it or something. Instead I just looked at it for a few minutes and left it there.

It's probably gone by now, dammit.

Anyway I've been really angry at everything lately so I've been avoiding chat. SOMETHING'S BEEN UP HASN'T IT GUISE?!?!? I'VE SEEN THE POASTS.

I need to find someone I don't hate so I can play chess with them. I've been really into chess lately. But everyone at school's been really fucking phony and obnoxious lately, or at least has become friends with someone phony and obnoxious.  And there's nowhere else around here to meet anybody. AND DO NOT SUGGEST I JOIN A CLUB. THIS IS WHAT GUIDANCE TELLS ME TO DO AND THEY ARE FULL OF SHIT.

Has anyone else here ever seen the movie WIthnail and I? I've just watched it for the second time and it just occurred to me that it is PROFOUNDLY unfunny. Good, but not a comedy really, knowhatimean?

And other than that very little remarkable took place today. I hit 10,000 on my last.fm

For those of you playing along at home, song numero 10,000 was Born Under Punches, by Talking Heads.

OMG  I JUST CHECKED MY PROFILE TY LIDS!I WILL TREASURE IT ALWAYS.

So yesterday was my birfs. I had a good time hanging out with the drama kids afterschool, a depressing time at the basketball game where the pep band (read: the whole fucking band) had to play or we'd get a shitty grade (and this game was really depressing--we lost, and aren't cheerleaders supposed to be hot or something? Cause ours are about as attractive as a herpes sore), and a fairly good rest of the day.

I got a new mp3 player (more capacity, better controls, not half-broken), and this weekend i'm getting new boots and some new cds and maybe a subscription to napster or something.

Today they took up 45 minutes of school herding us into and out of the gym to test the visible clouds of chemicals in the air on the upper floor and the lobby. TURNS OUT THEY'RE NOT HARMFUL GUISE :D. I hate construction. It makes the school cold and stinky.

ALSO I FOUND OUT WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU ACCIDENTALLY PUT MORE THAN ONE CD INTO YOUR DISK DRIVE AT ONCE: A LOT OF GRINDING. OF A NON-SEXUAL NATURE.

THIS YEAR I'M GOING TO ASK FOR HALP MORE. AND I'M GOING TO WEAR LESS SOCKS.

    So yeah, I'm back at school. Construction has things all fucked up. Doors going nowhere, walls in the middle of rooms, vehicles everywhere. I have the urge to do two things:

1) PHOTOGRAPH AND SHOP ONE OF THE BACKHOES. ON THE SIDES THEY SAY "LULL" IN BIG, SLANTY LETTERS. THAT'S ONE LETTER AWAY FROM ONE MAJOR CORRUPTION OF L. OH. L. BUT OF COURSE I NEED PICS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN

2) RE-ENACT PART OF THE VIDEO OF "ASHES TO ASHES" (WARNING: EXTREME BIZARRITUDE). I NEED A  WHITE CLOWN SUIT, SOME HABITS, A BALLERINA, DAVID BOWIE, AND AN ALIBI.

IF ANYONE ON MY FLIST HAS AN MP3 OF THAT SONG, COULD I PLZ HAVE IT?

    Anyway, I already have one zero on an assignment I handed in late, and two quizzes that made my AP teachers very happy. I'm fucking exhausted and I'm worried that I'm only going to get more so. Driver's ed is eating up huge portions of time I would normally spend napping. I had to drive this morning, and I'm going again tomorrow, with a class in the afternoon. I GOT THE SOCIOPATH SESSION :D

    Srsly, this chick is fucking nuts. I can't get her to leave me alone. I felt like a terrible person last week because I was thrilled to see her leave the room in tears, but she's ten times the bitch I've ever seen in one person before.

    I was sick all this week with a cold and got DQed from two XC meets in a row, one I freaked out and didn't finish, and one I got lost on and didn't finish. Which sucked. It can only go up from here, amirite?

   

I got my hairs cut yesterday. Now they're shoulder length and really really layered. Like, really layered. I'm going to become intimately familiar with polishing mousse over the next few months.  It looks good with headbands. I knew there was a reason I bought those.

New layout by the beautiful and talented Miss Rivka (<3), because I'm waaay too lazy to do it myself.

Meanwhile, I just saw the most indescribably hilarious hour and ten minutes of my life, namely the SCTV parody of The Godfather. It also had the Vikings versus the Beekeepers sketch, which is....

VIKINGS AND BEEEEEEEEEEEEKEEPERS
VIKINGS AND BEEEEEEEEEEEEKEEPERS!
VIKINGS AND BEEEEEEEEEEEEKEEPERS,
VIKINGS AND BEEEES!

IDK, it's the kind of humor where you can't describe it, you have to see it. And it's not up on the Yowtubs. BUT IT WAS FUCKING HILARIOUS, LET ME TELL YOU.

School in two days, so naturally the folks are hauling my ass up to Mass overnight. Naturally.

I JUST WATCHED THE MEDLEY PORTION OF MOULIN ROUGE. THEY SLAUGHTERED HEROES D: I USED TO LIKE THAT SONG!

ACCORDING TO WIKI, SAID PRODUCTION ALSO INCLUDES A COVER OF DIAMOND DOGS DONE BY BECK. DDDD: AND

NOT LISTED IN THE TRIVIA SECTION: IF YOU TURN UP THE SOUNDTRACK REALLY REALLY LOUD, YOU CAN HEAR THE SOUND OF VOMITING BY THE ORIGINAL ARTISTS FOR EACH SONG. SOMETIMES FROM ~*~BEYOND THE GRAAAAAAVE~*~ (HOW DARE THEY ABDUCT 20TH CENTURY BOY FOR AN EWWWWAN MCGREGOR MOVIE?!)

SO SOMEONE WHO'S SEEN THIS FILM, IS THE REST OF IT EVEN WORTH WATCHING IF I FOUND THAT PORTION HARD TO WATCH? IT WAS PRETTY, ANYWAY. IS THE PRETTY WORTH IT?

ANYWAY HERE'S A LEGIT VERSION OF HEROES. WITH T. REX. THAT SHOULD HELP.

Oh man, T. Rex is the best band evar, guys. I've been listening to Tanx obsessively over the past few days. So naturally, it refuses to copy onto my MP3 player until I spend two hours rejiggering everything. It was worth it for Marc Bolan's Christmas Message, which is lolzarious for three reasons:
1. "This is Marc Bolan, wishing you a superfunk Christmas, and a golden New Year" (imagine Naboo from the Mighty Boosh saying that, or, if you don't know the Boosh [which is inexcusable], get a six year old with a slight lisp to say it)
2. Marc Bolan was a Jew.
3. It's eleven seconds long and in the middle of twenty songs about hookers, hobos, and illnesses found predominantly in rabbits

But srsly, yes, awesome music.

No XC today!!! Still have to go tomorrow, but after practice, we go swimming!

And I have some work left to do before Monday, namely a timeline that supposedly takes a little work a week over the whole summer. Has this man not heard of Google? Wikipedia? This shit's taking four hours, max. Not that I'm complaining.
   
THERE WERE RUMORS PRINTED SOMEWHERE THAT  DAVID BOWIE WAS GOING TO BE IN DOCTOR WHO, BUT THESE WERE SADLY FALSE D: THAT WOULD BE AN AWESOME MATCH, Y/Y?

So I went to practice again, had my traditional beginning-of-season breathing issues. For the first week and a half of practice everyone asks me if I maybe possibly should get checked for asthma, then the problem goes away completely and they stop asking.

The freshmen coming up this year are horrible. They talk constantly, in a high pitched and inane whine, until they exhaust themselves. So I try to keep with the upperclassmen, who also talk the entire time, but are at least using recognizable words. Either way I want to run faster just to get away from them.

Coach got us fresh muffins from the bakery near the trails. They were delicious (muffins, not trails lol)

I have so much writing to do D: Quick guys, what did I think of the book I didn't read because it looked too heartwarming?

I WILL NOT HAVE MY HEART WARMED AGAINST MY WILL. PERIOD.

Q: What kind of asshole schedules XC running practice for 8 AM during the last few days of sleep-in time left in the summer?
A: IDK but he's my coach.

I did okay, didn't get too winded and my legs don't hurt at all. The whole left side of my body went jello-ish for a little bit after the last lap, which was fun. I probably should have gone to bed before 5:30 though.

The thing with me is, I'm a morning person, but only between the hours of 6:30 to 9:30, and waking up for them usually entails being awake for the latter half of the morning, which I loathe. So people usually think I'm more of a night person. Which is also kind of true.

I'm going to shower and take a nice long nap.

I am interested in - do tell me aboutherhimitthem

I really don't want to go back to school. I went up today for cross country and they're doing a shitton of construction and all of the assholes were out and in full bloom and uuuuuuuuugh.

I need new pants, nail polish remover, conditioner, lip balm, and a backpack before school starts on the 4th. DON'T LET ME FORGET.



I really don't wanna go guys.

One result of the whole recent CLH debacle was that it made me notice exactly how stupid my comments usually are when I deign to delurk. If it wasn't so sandy to do so I'd delete at least half of them. I'm in no position to judge at all.

Unrelated note: This icon is amazing.

I finished Harry Potter 7: Return of the Son of the Bride of the Deathly Hallows at 6-ish this morning. I read it fairly late because my mom and brother got to it first. It was a good read, but I had some issues, which have probably been touched upon like fifteen times on my flist in the last day alone, but bear with me:

BTW, I'm back from band camp. It was a lot of fun :D
