I got that from a funny story I heard at Driver's Ed...apparently, the principal at one kid's school made this announcement over the intercom: "We are testing the intercom. If you can't hear this, tell us."
xD
Driver's Ed, by the way, is officially the most boring class in the world that this Raia has taken so far.
There was funnier one in the paper a while ago, but I forgot to clip it.=/ I love Zits because I'm going through all the stuff that Jeremy (main charrie, for those of you
You know what's really creepy?
Having a conversation with a computer over the telephone.
...somebody invent the dang time machine already so I can go hide in a different era. Preferably one where AP classes haven't been invented, REAL PEOPLE talk to you on the phone, and horses are the main mode of transportation.o_o;
Not that I don't love things like laptops, Instant Messaging and mp3 players, but...it all just makes me wonder, you know?
(this explains why I enjoy writing about medi
In the past couple of months, I've met more writers than I've ever thought might exist. Considering the attitude most people my age have towards writing, I never expected that, though we're not a majority, we're not exactly scarce, either. Today I discovered another fantasy/sci-fi writer who was lurking right under my nose. She's in my English class and she always seemed nice, but I never really talked to her. But today I decided to sit at a different table than usual--I'm getting frustrated
Firstly, I got my cursor back! But only because I'm no longer in Rich Text Editing. I guess that is my new buddy...
Secondly, I’m really happy because I’ve been fixing up some academic issues and things are looking relatively good. Unfortunately, due to some circumstances beyond my control, I’m now rather behind on our in-class research project in English. Alas. Hopefully the teacher’ll be flexible about some deadlines, especially cuz this whole thing is sorta her fault.>>

LK and Veef have heard most of this story already and that's about half of the people who read this blog buuut...Karzahni, why not.
So I was at the public library this Saturday to help with this kid's program that they have on certain days, and this little preschool-aged boy comes up to me, shoves aside the little sign that said "Sign up" for the program, plunked a Toa Mata canister on the table, and smiled at me expectantly. My reaction was basically "OMIGOSH A REAL-LIVE TOA MATA," except w
Hey dears! You may have noticed that I am -never- on BZP and I really don't pay attention to my messages or the forums. A lot of that is just me being a busy highschooler, but it's also cuz BZP just doesn't really hold my interest anymore. I love you guys but it's time for me to move on. My BZP premiership is going to run out soon, and I've decided that it's pointless to renew it, seeing as I rarely blog or do anything else that requires premiership.
I keep telling myself I'll eventually
...one must first be able to draw big, blocky things.
Raia cannot draw blocky things.D: Tears!
But yeah, I want to draw a realistically shaded, black-and-white pencil drawing of the Mata Nui robot. Desperately. But, I don't know what pose to draw it in. I don't want to do something too bland, and I'd also rather avoid copying a pose from one of the posters, though I'll probably end up doing that, in the end...mayhaps the HEROPOSE! one. If anyone has suggestions, though, I'd be happy t
Oh life, you can be annoying and horrible sometimes, but then you always come out of the blue with another window to opportunity.<3
...so, we started enrollment for the next school year today. Even earlier than normal, because our 10-12 high school will convert to a 9-12 next year, and we have a TON of incoming students to deal with in addition to the returning ones. As a junior, I have to make a loooot of important decisions about classes, tests, and colleges. Soooo many decisions, it
This.
I HAVE THREE NEW BOOKS TO READ BUT NO TIME TO READ THEM IN. Oh, the twisted irony. Out of the Silent Planet by C.S. Lewis (which I'm actually about a third of the way through...an interesting book which my dad showed me while in the bookshop and said "This looks good and it's by the guy who wrote the Chronicles of Narnia" so I bought it.) Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson (found it in a church sale for like, three bucks, so I HAD to buy it. And furthermore, the sponsor from my club
Hey you.
YES YOU.
How many of you BZPers are still in the running for NaNoWriMo? I'm curious. Because so far the only one I know of that's still going is...
...me.
Anyway, if there is anyone else still NaNoing their hearts out, I want to cheer for you! This is the home stretch! PENULTIMATE WEEKEND INITIAAATE.
And yes LK, I found an excuse to use that emote again.;3 LET THE EMOTE BATTLE BEGIN!
Peace,
-Raia-
1) Do all the easy homework first.
2) Spend your free time drawing. And I mean ALL your free time.
3) Stay in your pajamas, to promote laziness.
4) Stare at a drawing of your favorite OC instead of staring at your paper.
5) Procrastinate until late evening.
6) Finally go back to the essay and start spouting nonsense.
7) Give up, don't write a conclusion, throw the essay in your bag, and then read the funnies for the rest of the evening.
DON'T FOLLOW MY BAD EXAMPLE GUYZ KTHX?
I haven
I wish I could hibernate through next week...gaaack.
Today was the worst day I've had in a while. Just, ugh. I about had an emotional breakdown during my Pre-Calc test. And then, of course, I had to rebound really quickly so I could take a Physics test. Which was hard, but I think I did okay. And THEN I got to panic and try to finish my History project, at the very last minute, while the rest of the class was in discussion. Barely got the dadgum thing done.
My brain is frieeeed. Chri
School is oooooouuuuuut.
And suddenly, we go from 50 degree weather to high 80's within a week. What the heck?xD Ah well, that just means it's finally time to break out the shorts and sunscreen.
(fffffff I can't believe I'm freeee)
And I'm officially a senior in high school, and also co-captain of drumline. Sweet. B)
-Raia-
*waves* Yes, I'm still alive over here! I've just been chilling out and enjoying the time off. I feel really accomplished right now, and I -almost- miss school...mostly because I've only been seeing the same three people (aka my immediate family) for the past...oh, four days or so.
Why is that, you ask?
We got snowed in!0: On Christmas Eve, the skies opened up, and it snowed for about three days straight after that. The roads were awful, let me tell you, and they've just now been comp
See LK? I got my PMship renewed like a good little girl!
Just a general update on how things stand:
-Got sick again Friday, so I missed a bunch of work and basically did homework all night every night this week.
-Junior year is really intense. Srsly.
-Local ren-fest coming up. Really want to go to that, I've never been to one before.
-Have to march in the local parade tomorrow with the band. Wheeee.
-Want to see 9. SO BADLY. Who DOESN'T like post-apocalyptic movies about adorab
...HP6. B) Also I spawned a wee first-year Harry drawing last night.:3
Please excuse the giant "TB"-- it stands for Talebringer, my dA username. Just in case you were wondering...not that anyone really cares what I post here anymore. Bah. Me and my blog and my life are too boring and pathetic, nobody wants to talk to me anymore, and I have no irl friends except maybe one, but she's "too busy," etc...lalalala...
I'm just going to go crawl off and draw some more. Still working on colo
OMIGOSH SCHOOL IS OVEEEERR
:3
Now I can finally get to the important things--like running around like a chicken with its head cut off to get everyone's Christmas presents ready in time!xD And, of course, all the things I didn't do while procrastinating for Finals, such as studying for the ACT, which I'm taking in February. Personal projects--art and writing for my novel, collabs, etc--can also get some lovin' now. Yaaaay.<3
And, apparently I scored just high enough on my math fina
Oh, whoops, I died.>_>
Greetings, ladies and germs. I've been off in that land known as Real Life and I haven't come to BZP for a while...I kinda feel like I've grown out of this place.:[ But, I still love you guys, so here I am to give you a peek at my current state of affairs.
-Our microwave decided to die, and the replacement won't be in for a week if we're lucky. Soo I'm learning how to make do without for the mo. It's very weird.xD

I have none.
Can some responsible person come smack me over the head so I can go study for the PSAT? I need to do well so I can get scholarship monies. Otherwise, I fear my parents (mostly my mom) may disown me.
Also, thoughts on new blog tagline? Blueberry or strawberry? Cats or dogs? Yes? Mudkips? 42? Your mom?
-Raia-
For those very few of you who actually read all the random nonsense otherwise known as life issues that are troubling for me that I post here...you may have noticed I haven't been around for a while! Or, you may have not. Well, now you know unless you didn't read this, either.

So! It's a new year now, le gasp. 2010 is going to be HUGE, I can feel it! Already, my apparent stock of good Karma has granted me two snow days that would have been my first two days back to sc
Well, I caught another icky cold, I haven't been well-rested since October and my artistic motivation is a roller coaster of insane sky-highs and bamboozled bottom-of-the-ocean lows, but that's okay! We are all about optimism. And while my throat has a frog in it and my grade is slipping in my Pre-Calculus class, I'm a couple days ahead in NaNo now, so I can actually go to bed at a normal time tonight. Of course, I have to get an...EEG, I think it is--some kind of heart test--on Wednesday in
