Hey kiddos. This has been a helluva ride, no? BEDA = awesome. Thanks, Maureen!

I have my first ever real-big-kid-stuff job interview tonight.

I feel pretty sick, so I'm gonna take a shower and have a little siesta to be prepared for my job-zilla interview.

Something of interest: Today in English (we're reading One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest for those who aren't in the know), P-Nelli was talking about David Thoreau. The guy is a transcendentalist, which basically means he, and other transcendentalists, wanted to be "different." His most famous work is Walden, published in 1854.

History of Walden:
Thoreau decided one day that he was sick of material goods and the material world. So he went out into the woods, built himself a cabin, and lived there for a year, making a journal about how life was different then than it was in the "real world."

I haven't read it, but there's an allusion to it Cuckoo, so we just discussed it for a while. About how people are "individuals," and how we work in this "system" of life, which Kesey (author of Cuckoo) calls the Combine. P-Nelli asked us why we sat in school all day, if we were such "individuals," and why we fell into our roles in the Combine. We talked about how people, including ourselves, were afraid of academic/disciplinary consequences, how we were scared of what our parents would say if we just walked out of class one day and stopped going to school. And then a funny thing happened.

Pulsinelli walks over to the door, opens it, and says "If you walk out right now, I will not write you up. I swear."

No one moved. There was just a silence over the room. I didn't get up, oh gosh no. But why? Would you, reader, have gotten up?

God, everyone should read this book. It's incredible. Will probably finish it tonight or tomorrow night. Let me know if you read it in class. Please?

BEDA 30: PWNED.
BEDA: PWNED.

okay I love you bye bye!

Eff eff eff I can't find my Cuckoo's Nest journal. My pristine, awesomesauce, hours-spent Cuckoo's Nest journal. D: D: D:

I stupidly let a "friend" borrow it since she was all "I don't really get what to put," and I was like "Fuck, I really don't want you to copy this, but I'll look like a jerk if I don't give it to you, but you make me feel bad about myself a lot, so whatever. Here." Ugh such a big mistake. She gave it to me earlier today, but now I can't find it!! I'm not blaming her, I'm just mad at myself. This is why peer pressure is so stupid... and why my life is so sad.

I just finished reading the book (it's really good) but now I can't do the stupid assignment (that I actually kind of enjoy doing). Ughhhh.

Also, I'm wearing my headphones. On either head phone (...?) there is either an R or an L, signifying... you know, right or left. I think it's more comfortable to wear the L on my right ear and the R on my left. REBEL I KNOW RIGHT.

Today it rained. Everyone is either like "OMG I LOVE RAIN" or "OMG I HATE IT," but I really don't care either way. I hate being wet, though. I hate getting out of showers, so usually (this is gross) I tend to not take a shower for as long as possible (although I usually only last two days, maybe three tops, but still). I just hate being wet, because it gets everything else wet, and then things have to dry...

Reminding me of Writer's Workshop, in which Ms. Beachy read us sentences sent in as "Worst First-Sentences for Novels" for some contest... thing. One of my favorites:

Her name was Mauve, like the color of paint, which was apt: not only was she "pretty as a painting," she was also "smart as paint," and certainly as thin (assuming sufficient solvents had been added); she was, however, Arnold discovered when she stepped from the shower, a lot more fun to watch dry.

The year is finally winding down. I'll have a decent grade card for the first time in a long while. (By "decent," I mean no C's.) Also, BEDA is ending. This is my, and every other participant's, penultimate post. It's sad. But it's a good pre-NaNo exercise. I need the sort of writing-every-day activity, just to get pumped for it. So expect a possible second BEDA... only this time it's Blog Every Day AUGUST! 0:

BEDA 29: pwned. <3 you all.

Sigh. I promise I had a really good idea for a blog, and that I filed it in my blog folder., but I think it got corrupted or something. Because now I don't remember it.

Speaking of Kristina (if you clicked the links...), I think I kind of love her. I mean, I loved her before. But through BEDA, and through Mrs. Nerimon, through this new CD she did with Luke Conard (with whom I'm in love), and through the Parselmouths thing... I dunno, I think my love for her just tripled in the past month.

I already ordered ALL CAPS!, which is Luke and Kristina's CD. I'm soooo excited for it to come. I'm listening to the tracks on the MySpace (linked) and LOVE IT SO MUCH. It's a damn good thing I'll probably get a job at Cinemark this summer... I keep buying things online. Damn debit card...

But yeah, I have an interview Thursday night at 8... right during the Office, but whatevs, I'll live until I get back and can watch it. It was going to be Wednesday, but I have the Five Minute Film Festival to attend! It should be pretty fun -- I hope most people remember it, since we won't have our usual Wednesday-morning meeting due to a late start. Ugh: I totally don't get to utilize my sleep-in time due to my lack of doing-math-homework skills. ):

Whatever. Gonna finish my paper application, read Cuckoo tonight since I won't have a lot of time Wednesday night (because of the Film Fest), and study a little more for my test tomorrow. A'ight cool love you all bye!!

Screw it, I'm not going to post any more blogs on MJ's ning. I prefer Blogger layout, Blogger blog-posting box, and Blogger Bloggerness.

Yawn. Super tired. Need to read a little bit more of Cuckoo's, should only take two-ish hours. Yes, that's a short amount of time for this assignment. Sigh.

God I just want to go to college and screw all of this. School's almost done for summer. There's really nothing interesting for me to say at all. Gotta keep going on BEDA.

Code Java ttx.

oh my gosh, Chuck was HORRIFYING. spoilers, watch out!!

Episode one: Chuck gets all the government secrets in his brain. Called "The Intersect."
Last episode: Chuck gets the Intersect out of his brain.
This episdoe: Chuck gets the Intersect back INTO his brain, only NOW he knows KUNG FOO. It was RIDONK! I was literally rolling on the floor laughing my ass off. SOO BAD. And I've been a loyal Chuck fan, don't get me wrong. But... why would they do that? I don't understand. At all. Seriously? It was SO BAD. SO BAD. SO BAD.

Ugh. Talk of canceling... it almost seemed like they were screaming "CANCEL US!" tonight. So sad.

A'ight that's a blog right? BEDA out.

I have nothing interesting to say whatsoever.

Uhhh.

I really like Crystal Light Peach Tea.
I really hate that Legally Blonde is coming to Kansas City specifically when I will be in Denver, CO. On exactly the same days. Yeah that just really upsets me.

Weird how a stomach virus can be confused with 80 degree weather, allergies, and womanly symptoms. I want it to be appendicitis. I want all my diseases to be appendicitis. It's true. Every time I get a cramp, I pray for appendicitis.

Also: I fail at precalc. I don't understand how I'm in advanced math. I'm rather subpar. Mostly because I don't do my homework. But today I actually tried to do my homework and failed miserably, even though I paid attention in class. I spent more than thirty minutes on the first problem alone. I asked a classmate for help. I consulted the internet. I read the book and my notes a thousand times over. I don't understand it. I don't understand why I don't understand it. Damn logic.

Kay whatever this is done.

so I didn't do BEDA yesterday... shhh don't tell anyone please.

I'll do a make-up blog the first day in May? I had kind of a bad/busy/obnoxious day yesterday. My house is 82 degrees, which explains high stress, etc. Plus allergies. *sniffles* I still don't feel 100%, but I have to go to my friend's birthday party tonight... I'll probably cut out early though. Make my appearance, then leave before I feel awkward and need to go cry in a bathroom because I'm depressingly lonely on the inside.

Oh, hey Angst. How are you?
S'all good, Self.
Yeah, yeah. I hope so.
How are you?
Feeling pretty angsty, actually. Do you know anything about that?
I might have something to do with it, yeah.
Well... will you quit?
No, probably not.
Well... I'm gonna go watch the Office.
Not go to the party?
... I'll go to the party, make my hellos, leave an hour later feigning cramps to the ladies and allergies to the men.
Are you sure you want to go?
Actually... no, I don't think I want to at all.
*winner!*

Yeah, I let Angst beat me up and influence my decisions. But whatever. I'm gross. I feel gross, I look gross... all in all, just grossness.

Ugh. Ugh ugh ugh. Enough whining.
