At my school, one of the faculty members -- a social studies teacher who has been around since the conception of the school some two, three years ago -- has been battling cancer since June, 2010. He's been in the school since that date, and even talked in some of my classes about specific events that occurred in History, or about AP Human Geography -- the student newspaper, the one I work on, dedicated an entire issue to him (first issue) due to his condition and there were many, many, many stud
It's upsetting, to me, that when a class is watching a video in relation to terrible events that have occurred, they laugh. Or make jokes. Or they insult those depicted in the video.
It's sickening.
After listening to many songs over the past few hours, I went on a productive writing rampage on a project of mine. Got the very, very first part finished, worked out the events from there and reread the first bit some eight times already. All I need to do to it, in my opinion, is rewrite the combat scenes -- more detail, emotion is needed. What I have is more... of a "here's how it's gonna go down."
Working up to the fight in the next bit is going to be fun.
So yeah, I feel like a beast
It's not that good, I admit, but it was like... the first mechanical/Bionicle based drawing I've done since like... sixth grade. There's a lot of problems with it, that I took notes on a separate paper about (The hands aren't really the same, there's some structural differences. The eyes are slightly off, and the details on the upper legs look pretty flat). But enough of my rambling (and I took a pic of it with a camera... scanner... it's just not liking me). It also looks more Toa-esque than ma
I saw this movie a little while ago, I didn't blog anything about it due to the state of affairs at the time.
Regardless.
If you haven't seen this movie, then I implore you to go and watch it. Wait for it on DVD if you must, rent it if you will, but it is by far one of the best movies I've watched within the last three years.
As for haters, they can all go eat gravel.

If there were forums hundreds of years ago and stuff, what do you think prominent historical figures would post?
Inspired by a random discussion on AIM, in which historical figures trolled things.
For many, many reasons, but the one that finally drove the nail through the brain was the worst chart for an essay outline I ever had the misfortune to fill out. All it did was repeat itself some ten times, and some of the questions were incredibly confusing and it asked for 3 sources for each reason I gave and we only had 6 sources to use (none of which were really about my reasons, I would have preferred if the teacher put forth more sources that weren't political cartoons or just tell us that
After having a pretty bad week (Being sick since Tuesday, laying in bed without the energy to do much else), it feels good to talk to someone amazing, even if it's just online.
It's not serious, and I am well aware that I am a terrible poet. However, I found it entertaining to read it all melodramatically as fast as I could, and figured to put it somewhere. I learned that, it's hard to find a rhyming word for "rabbit." I also learned that it is incredibly hard to find something that rhymes with "says" without pronouncing the word with a long "a."
I don't know if changing the rhyme pattern near the end was a good idea or not.

So I ordered Reach on Monday, click on the free shipping and am told it'll arrive on the 20th.
But I guess Amazon/UPS likes me 'cuz it got here todaaay~
So, like said quite a few times in this blog, school's started up as of three weeks ago (The day I got back from BFair) and so far I enjoy the teachers I have. None of them hate my guts, and a few of them liked me from the get-go due to positive comments I got from teachers I had last year.
But outside of schoolwork (Which is, at the moment, doing some notes, some French stuff and making some picture for English, and three articles to write for Newspaper), I've been doing some other things.
One is not enough.
But there was only one in the AT-AT set. I must find some more of these neat lil' guys. (Which isn't hard but finding them in bulk for cheapish is hard)
(I also embarrassed myself by calling it the "AT&T" << >>)
So we did our first little assignment thing, which was to make a large picture telling the story of our partner (Who basically told me what they did over the summer). The catch was to make the story one huge piece of art, based off of pre-historic cave drawings, and not a series of symbols that could be read (Such as Egyptian hieroglyphics).
We first sketched out the series of symbols we wanted to use, and then we sketched out what the overall picture would look like. After that, we got charc
Yes, that is an exclamation mark.
So for school this year, which just started for me on Tuesday actually (I thought it was Monday, but that turned out to be for 9th graders and some Juniors there helping them out), I have seven classes;
- English II Honors
- Geometry (I should've been in Algebra II, but I'm not very good at math << >>)
- U.S History (First half this semester -- would have gone for AP Human Geography, but the workload from that class would have been too much
