Feeling: Drowsy.

Ah. Damn. -_- I'm being klutzy all of a sudden. I manage to bruise my shin against the counter (not sure how I managed that) and cut my knee so it's bleeding a bit all in a time frame of less than a minute.

Anyhow, it would seem I've been linked here, so doing the same in return. Next... ^^; I'll be doing that shortly. I'm soooooo slow. X_x;;

Now to go sleep soon and pester my school friends with one of those get to know your friend things because they used to pester me with forwarded thingies.

Blah. I haven't caught up to actually posting in RPGs yet. x_x; I suck. And for some reason I'm not feeling too social at the present point in time. *flops*

Which Saiyuki boy are you?

And just because I sat down and wrote it in about twenty minutes and it gave me a headache, here is something that glorifies the crappiness of my writing. I doubt it makes much sense, it's supposed to be a part of a longer story I've yet to finished. Reader is warned to read at their own risk to being subjected to the absolute horrid junk that is mine. I have crappy imagery and my style still needs to be refined quite a bit which I hope will happen in the course of the impending english classes that I am still a student of (currently I'm only in English II). I am a native speaker of the language, though more often than not I speak improperly which makes it all the more pathetic at how much I'm bad at writing. So I hold no claims to a great knowledge of grammar or skill or spelling. I'm rambling. This is why I normally don't put anything I write anywhere.

I don't consider myself the worst writer ever, but compared to some of the crap that's out there. However, on the same note, I'm not remotely a great writer compared to some of the stuff that's out there.

*begin sarcasm* And my /great/ amount of self-esteem shows through once more. *end sarcasm* Anyhow, the character is just referred to as he, for he is one of my own creation and I don't feel like providing information as to his details at the present moment, though I do have a couple of badly composed profiles for him. It's not an integral character development thing anyway, so I guess that doesn't matter much. Just a thing that's going to fit into a longer of scene of one of my plot's that occur later on in said story.

...Okie. I'm going now before I start making even less sense than I already am.

Listening To: Orestes - A Perfect Circle
Feeling: Tired.

So I got most of my stuff done, everything I had to absolutely get done by this day anyway. I still have bits of homework to finish off, but that's it. I'm fairly exhausted right now (my brain hurts from an Algebra II test that, while not too terribly difficult, was time-consuming to complete). Probably going to nap soon since I can do that. Or I'll read some more. I'm liking A Seperate Peace, I normally don't like books assigned to read for school, dunno why. Didn't like last years anyway, but this one's good.

And... World History is now unofficially my worst subject. x_X; I'm just no good at it and I lose interest rather easily and quickly. Doesn't really help that teacher in there often goes off on tangents than the main thing we're supposed to be discussing. He reminds me of someone but I can't recall who. I usually end up writing in there now, in between taking notes. Hmm. Think I got about two pages of something written today, was rather pointless. And, at best, I made a B on the quiz we took. I just have yet to had a class in this area of subject (past history classes, Geography, etc.) matter that had any topic I found remotely fascinating. I'm more interested in the bits of history that get provided in english as we're reading books.

Random fact I'm noticing about myself as I'm typing this: I have more of a tendency to chew on pens or something when I'm typing, versus when I hand-write.

In other news, computers finally arrived for Computer Science class, yay! They're nice... actually, I think they're nicer than this one I have of my own. Going to start learning Visual Basic once everything gets networked.

Sleep/rest now, think later. I need to vegetate a while so I can get in a more malleable mood.

Quick thing before sleeping: Book cases are nice as are pillows. My books are no longer as cramped as they used to be and I now have eight pillows. *happy dance that she would never actually do cause she's not the dancing sort*

Right.

Now Akarui is off to the realm of dreams... err... right after she's able to get enough junk off her bed to see it again.

Feeling: Annoyed.

Tch. I've decided that there are none of my 'relatives' that I truly like. Feh. *just got back from aunts'* I feel /so/ nauseated and sick now and my headache's back in full force. -_- I complain here cause I don't really have anywhere else to. Two things, also:

1. While I'm not really against smoking and drinking, though I don't plan to do either myself, doing both in excessive amounts when you have people over... just strikes me as rude.

2. I am more than happy now with my parents and hope to whatever god that my mother doesn't get like her mother is. I /so/ don't think I could take that.

Loud-mouthed, rude, bunch of drunken... yes, I am /very/ not in a happy mood now that I've had to spend /that/ much time over there.

In better news, I managed to get to a bookstore before that whole thing and got a few books about stuff I wanted before. I was also able to get an order for Thorn Boy placed, so yay.

I now go shower because I smell too much like cigarette smoke. The smell's bad even just on my clothing.

Feeling: Sleepy.

Strange dreams were had last night. I think I died in the last one. I think from a sandal, at that. Was weird and most likely wouldn't make sense so not going to type it here. Lalalala.

*coughs* So I actually typed some of the stuff down in planning of fic... it's... stuff. I came up with an ending since I almost always do that first nowadays. It's, like, bad and not happy. Some reason I seem to not be one for happy endings. *sweatdrops* Normally, anyhow. On occasion I come up with endings that are kind of happy... but... just... not. I'm terrible at coming up with happy endings anyhow... sort of. Though there's no death. I guess that's... something. Ah well, if I ever actually /do/ write it, I'll end up hating the whole thing anyway, ending included. Eheh. I suck. *rambles on*

In other news, I'm cold. But it's okay cause I found my fuzzy blue blanket. It's soft and warm and cuddly.

Uh... right.

Listening To: Slide - Goo Goo Dolls
Feeling: Sick and tired.

Well. I manage to get rid of the sniffly stuff and most of the sore throat. What do I get in replace of that? At least somewhat of a fever and a killer headache. So mom kept me home from school today. If I'm not better by Sunday or whenever, then I'll have to have a doctor's appointment. Wah. I don't like going to the doctor. >_>;; At least I have Monday off too, for whatever day that's supposed to be.

Took a nap for about an hour or so that was really strange involving those machines with the claw thingy where you try to catch stuffed animals out of them. Had the strangest looking stuffed animals in them and dropped them out whenever you just barely touched the thing and someone gave me an endless supply of quarters. Weird stuff I dream.

Most of the rest of the day I spent reading... some HP fics and started a new book. Also started playing around with fic ideas in my head. I have two that are quite well planned out, I just can't for the life of me get one of them down into a written form and the other... I have no idea what characters the plot is for. *sweatdrops* It's none of my originals and I can't really think of any series it'd fit for well... it's just... /there/. I'm actually trying to think of a way to make it work with Kaine, since, currently, I only know of three fics existing for that. Sure it's only a one tankouban long... but I still like muchly anyway. *flop*

Furthermore began messing around with the passing idea I had yesterday of trying to write a HP fic thingy. It progressed as far as the planning stages. Of course, since he's one of my two favorites from that book, Lupin'd be the vic- er... central character of the thing... which in my head is getting kind of long as I think about it. *coughs* Doubtful if I'll write it since I'm bad at doing that and it kind of will involve original characters if I do write it and for some reason I don't want to come up with them even though I already kind of have. *sweatdrops* Plus I can't write english in the... Englishy way. Which isn't really related to much to my procrastination of writing, it just got added in there. *rambles on*

I wonder if I'll have to go to my aunts tomorrow. It's one of their birthdays... but I kinda don't want to go because people there smoke and I'm allergic to that smell. I start sneezing badly.

I go rest or read some more. My mouth hurts.

Also known widely as the Fire Bird, the phoenix is a profound symbol of the circle of life. It has a life cycle of 500 to 600 ears and after that amount of time, it sets itself on fire and dies in the flames. Then after three days, it rises again from the ashes. It is a completely benign creature who lives in dew. It is said that the phoenix has a beautiful melidous song which grows ever more mournful as its life comes to an end. It is a symbol of the sun and immortality. The phoenix is a very worthwhile beast.

I do believe I have succeeded in the beginnings of catching a cold. I have a headache, sniffly, sore throat and extremely tired. Plan seemed to have worked though, I'm not sleepy at all despite the fact I got at most five hours last night.

Ah well, time to transfer lab write-up to notebook and stuff onto disk. Bleh, then to study Spanish and Chem. junk. Lalala.

cold.. or are you?

Which X/1999 characters are you?

Quiz made by Chesa

Sooo... most of the main thing of this weekend was composed of sleeping. I got at least twenty-two hours in the span of three days, about. Whee... I seem to somehow store up the stuff which is good cause I don't sleep at (very) decent times during the week nights. Finished English homework and think I'll do well on Comp. Sci. quiz which is always a plus. I didn't research much for History thing, but it was just /suggested/ that we do so. Of course, I didn't. I suck. *sweatdrops*

But I'm happy anyway cause I finally got Geo's e-mail and he e-mailed me back. Actually, I was rather inordinately gleeful about that to the point of smiling dumbly. Ah, the things that make me happy.... Also, I got to see in his mail, in black and white terms, that he considers me a friend too. Somehow I feel validated by that and I'm not too sure I want to know why.

And today, the temperature here dropped twenty degrees (Fahrenheit) but there was no rain despite innumerable clouds. That was upsetting. And my car's literally collecting dust cause I don't like driving since I despise driving. Wah.

I /so/ need to catch up in reading stuff that I want to read. And yet I want to order about three books online cause I can't find them anywhere here. Ahah. And my writing drive seems to have gone dormant for the time being. Which is bad cause I got a couple fic ideas I wanted to work on. But no go, since I don't have the motivation. I think I'll go sleep now.

I am a STORY TELLER

I am a natural story teller, and tales unfold in my mind almost without thought. I can entertain myself by reading a book that exists only in my head, which might make me seem distant from people at times.

I'm so incredibly sleepy right now that... it's vaguely amusing. Actually had another fun day at school, though Psych. and Chem. seemed to drag on forever and ever. I did finish reading book (in the end of Chem. and while the books for the class were being passed out). Eheh. ^^; Then in Web Mastering wrote a short little thing to be part of story at the end of class when we were given free time. I need to read something for History and stay awake at least another couple hours but oh well. Lalalala...

Reading: Dragon Wing - Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman
Listening To: Cd. o.O;; I can't recall title at the moment... ^^;;;
Feeling: Happy.

Woohoo. Been through my first A day and first B day at school, meaning I've been to all my classes at least once. I've had fun so far though just from the fact of speaking with friends again. Parts of the new building are nice, though it's rather big. I get lost though never so much I'm late for class. Also have to try to get there earlier so I can, like, actually be ABLE to find people in the morning cause the crowd in the cafeteria at around eight-thirty... is just horrendous. Skipped lunch the past couple days too since the lines are horrid and would rather waste time talking... (had the oddest and fun conversation at lunch today). I guess I'll ramble a bit on classes for a moment.

On A days I start out with Psychology. I think I'd like the class better if I didn't already dislike the teacher. >_>; I got a bad first impression I guess. Next was my Pre-AP (Pre-Advanced Placement) Chemistry class... it seems like it'll be rather difficult, but fun. I don't care for the teacher much... rather monotonous and I kept accidently tuning out during the going ons about 'Time Management'. Class is rather large too, though no one in there I can't stand.

Around this time in the day is lunch, only one of my close friends is in this one, unfortunately. Way too crowded but it does make getting to my next class easy.

Third in the day is Web Mastering. So far it's kinda dull but that's cause the computers and stuff haven't arrived yet. I'm going to get to design my own page though, no idea about what. All've been told so far is to start gathering pics. Finally is Pre-AP Spanish III which I enjoy immensely just for the fact two of my close friends are in there. And this teacher/class seems to be tons better than the last one and I know most of the people in there (surprisingly).

B day starts off with Pre-AP Computer Science. Seems like it's going to be interesting, though again, don't have the comps in there yet. The teacher talks way fast but it was... interesting to listen to the conversations going on after done with stuff for the day. ^^;;; I don't really know anyone in that class though. Next came Pre-AP English II which was fun too, sicne have teacher who I like well enough again. 'nother large class, though I have one of m'good friends in there and some other people who aren't bad. Also, luckily, summer homework wasn't due today so I can re-work some stuff.

Now lunch for this day is incredibly fun. ALL of my close friends are all in here together so we get to be insane and stuff. Unfortunately, don't get to talk to one of 'em because he sits with other people and my other, closer, friend hates him. ^^;;;; Still quite fun, or today was a'least. ^o^ It's even more crowded tho.

After that back to finish up english then onto World History. Ugh. I'm just not a fan of that stuff. Though the class seemed okay, no one I particularly like an overt amount, but it was my smallest one thus far. Teacher seemed fairly okay too, interesting that is.

Finally of the day I had Pre-AP Algebra II. So far it's been easier than Geometry which I despised so much last year. Teacher is okay, though I liked Geometry one better. Lots of people in this class again, knew most of them except a few.

And today I managed to not get lost! ^^;;;; (they rebuilt the campus... I got lost yesterday wandering around trying to find my way /out/ of the building). Though that may've been because my last class was near the proper exit (one I need anyway).

Aaaaaaaand now I should go look over some stuff. Yeah.... ^^

Hmm.

I think the sleeping pills are catching up to me now. I think I'll go flop. La. School starts tomorrow. Must hunt down certain people at first chance. >) Though it's going to suck getting up early. And tomorrow night need to remember to finish a bit of essay that'll be due Tuesday. I'm completely done with everything else at least. Now I really will go flop soon.

Feeling: Thoughtful.

Hmm. I'm still not done with schoolwork completely yet (since I'm lazy and slow and get distracted with other books and writing and stuff), but I'm not panicking too much now. I cleaned my room which is a big feat for me cause I'm a very disorganized/messy person. Now I can actually see my floor again and stuff.

I also remembered to send birthday present yesterday, yay. I hope it gets there in time. *wonders how long it'll take a package to get to Canada* And I also hope that I filled out the custom's form okay. *wasn't sure what to precisely to call some stuff* o_o;;;

I'm kind of tired at the moment cause went clothes shopping with mom earlier. It wasn't too bad, I got a neat looking black sweater and some pants. Then went to a book store where I got one of those 'How to Draw' books and a volume of Cowboy Bebop. My godfather also sent me fifty dollars, I haven't seen him in a long time unfortunately.

Tomorrow I do believe going out with parents for lunch and then they're going to buy me my car... x_x;; I'm still /so/ nervous of driving. Then I think I'll try to finish up school work cause I'm not entirely sure on the essay part, guess I'll figure out what to write as I'm writing it. *sweatdrops* Must remember to pick up caffiene for when Monday comes 'round... because I doubt otherwise that I'll be able to get through my first classes without dozing off. Need better sleeping schedule...

So I've been trying to work on my summer reading and distracting myself muchly. -_- And so now I'm panicking cause I don't think I'll finish in time and it would suck horribly to be failing on the first day back at school. So I'm going to have to force myself to abstain from reading the book I want to finish reading and from writing on my story because that's what I keep doing when I should be working on other things. So now I'm freaking and can't think straight for the life of me.

My parents don't have to scare me over my school work - I do that job well enough myself. -_-;

Therefore if I'm not around much in the next couple of days, that's why.
