Little Things

Sun, 16 Jun 2013 09:23:00 +0000

You know, it's the little things that you take for granted. Like lights that turn on instantly instead of ten seconds later, or air conditioning that you understand the working of. Or heck, even a fan in the bathroom.

Out of the country right now, wish I had a mouse but I left the USB for it at home. :c Not that the WIFI here is particularly strong enough for a lot of things anyway.

Recent chapters have been ALL OF MY YES lately.

And it's great.

School is almost over, two weeks left. Then I can stop feeling like a zombie all the time and get some sleep. And become active in RotR again. ^-^;

Birthday Weekend Loot

Mon, 29 Apr 2013 04:22:00 +0000

Best weekend ever. I feel like I say that a lot. =P

But here's what I got for my 16th.

My driver's license
$120
Sweet new PC
A little ceramic salt shaker turtle

Plus, entered my first BZPc and won, though under some unexpected circumstances. Either way, it was a lot of fun. c: Also, it was RotR's anniversary.

It was a nice little weekend.

This Saturday is Rise of the Rocket's birthday! I think it's the third, but honestly, feels like the RPG opened just a year ago. I was planning on getting a demo of the game out, but with school deciding to carpet bomb us with stuff the last quarter, it doesn't look like that'll happen. :c

Marching band starts in 16 days. I'm excited for that.

My school is holding an Olympic-style tournament where most of the clubs go head to head in two types of events, athletic and academic . The winning club gets a hefty sum of money, I think. Personally, I think we should just use our money to build another entrance to the campus, as we only have one and it's a mess to get in and out.
I joined for SciO, and I think we're doing Volleyball, Family Feud, and Dodgeball.

Geez. If you told me that I'd be doing all this two years ago, I would've laughed in your face and called you crazy.

Ties

I have a recent obsession over ties.

SO MANY FANCY KNOTS

Unfortunate Event(s)

Fri, 05 Apr 2013 04:37:00 +0000

So there's this kid at my school who tweeted, "I think Mrs.------ is single handedly the worst teacher". Probably thought it was funny until he came into class, and the tweet was projected to the front of the room, with the teacher posing in front of it.

Best part? She got a video of his reaction.

Sometimes, I really can't stand the English department in my school, but I've gotta say, most of the English teachers are the craziest, fun filled people I've ever met that know how to play up their sarcasm instead of avoiding it.

In other news, I'm having trouble finding an appetite for anything recently. This happens every once in a while, but I hope it passes over soon. >.<

Rollerskates

Tue, 19 Mar 2013 04:36:00 +0000

So, as a "reward" for basically making it through PE this semester, the week before spring break is going to be spent rollerskating. It sounded great at the time but very quickly I learned that I cannot skate for my life.

Seriously, if I had a pair of skates glued to my feet and I had to flee from a collapsing bridge, I would probably try to get away, fall to the ground, then fall with the bridge.

I must've fallen five times or so. Three of those were consecutive, from me trying to get back up.

It's going to be a long week. e.e

SciO: Regional Results

Mon, 11 Mar 2013 11:22:00 +0000

This past Saturday was our regional. Nearly everyone on the team, Varsity and JV, placed high in their events.

However, history has a sad sense of humor. Last year, our team lost state by four points.

This year, it was seven we lost by. We would have made it, too, but our Thermo box got 10 points deducted for some reason that I don't fully understand.

Oh well! Better start studying for next year. =)
The list for next year's events is already out, and it usually doesn't change that much. So, assuming the list is "final," I'll be doing entomology, MagLev, Experimental, hopefully Write it Do it, and I want to try Mission Possible. I heard that it was probably the worst event ever, but it sounds fun. =P

Really hoping for Sounds of Music to come back in two years. As seniors, we would destroy the competition. =P

That was a scare.

I didn't realize that the blog tab moved over, so when I went to click on blog, I clicked into the tracker instead.

Only saw the two categories, assumed they were blogs, freaked out that somehow all of the blogs were deleted, and then saw Six's avatar on the side and the word blog, so I assumed it was an apology for the server having a hiccup.

But then I found the actual tab.

It was like a bad dream, man.
