Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de La Fayette is a very long name oh gosh x.x

Helloooo.

I have finally learned the meaning of sophomore year, and it is NHD. More accurately, the destruction of your life, courtesy of NHD. Also known by its full name, "National History Day," it steals the lives of young children with much potential across the nation in its cold, dead grip. I'm already regretting agreeing to take on this beast x.x (at least I have the most brilliant partner in the world, xiy, and together, hopefully we shall be able to overcome the horrors in store.)
... and tomorrow's only the second deadline of the longgggg project. Oh, my.

In other news, sophomore year is progressing nicely. My daily amount of YouTube watching has diminished to almost nothing, but that's alright. At least I've found some new music to study to.

I can't believe it's fall! It's very autumn-y here. There are lots of leaves on the ground, and the weather is even more temperamental than it usually is. I'm quite happy about the leaves falling, though, since it means now is leaf-raking time! I do like raking leaves. It's so much fun, and you have such a lovely pile to jump in at the end of your hard labor ^.^
I also like fall because it marks the beginning of cold weather time, otherwise known as tea and hot cocoa time, otherwise known as my favorite time of the year {seeing as how it correlates so nicely to hoodie and sweatshirt time}. Also, October is over, so I needn't live my everyday life in constant terror.

Other recent developments in my life:
- I saw a very fluffy puppy today and successfully resisted the urge to steal it for my own.
- The hair atop my head has gotten longer.
- I've lost many of my pencils/pens that I started out with in the beginning of the year, which means I get to dig a little deeper into my supply for the rest of the school year.
- Lauren Lopez talked to me, looked me in the eye, and brushed her hand on my by accident. Thus, my life has been lived to its fullest and I am now entirely satisfied with the Universe.
- Oh, and 11/11/11 11:11 happened! Did you guys make a wish? :D

... and so ends your weekly adrenaline rush from reading my fabulously interesting post. ta-daaa.

With all due respect,
House.

This Week was Totally Awesome!

This week is so good. We only had three days of school (Monday, Wednesday, and today).

Not only that, but on Monday night we went to see the Starkid SPACE tour. It was only the most magical freakin' night of my life!!!!!! My voice is still a little wonky (as bio teacher would say) from screaming so much. It's funny, in all of the illegal videos I took, you can hear *SCREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!* little bit of singing *SRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMM*

In addition to singing all of the greatest hits from A Very Potter Musical, Sequel, Starship, Me and My Dick, and Little White Lies, the night was full of really funny comedy, inside jokes, dancing, and over-the-top fangirling on our part.

It was the best birthday present I could ever ask for. You guys are the bestest :D. I wish we could go again.

Tomorrow, Friday, is a conference day for the parents and we get to sit around and do NOTHING. Well, except, like, NHD and homework and studying and chores and...yeah.

It's rather cold.

xiy, Virgil, and I went fencing today. Virgil left early and then xiy and I decided to go fence in the neighboring dancing room. We fenced under spotlights and it was epic. We both won that match.

I'm cold.

Well, I think that just about wraps up this week.

Oh hey, it's Tuesday!

Today's post will come to you in 2 parts.

Part 1:

OH MY GOODNESS STARKID WAS AMAZING.

The Six Little Curly Fries went on adventure last night, and we saw the Starkid SPACE tour as a sort of really-early-birthday-present-for-Momo-except-that-Lynda's-birthday-is-actually-closer. It was magical. We had VIP tickets (thanks to the fabulous Mrs. Momo's Mom) and we all were given free posters which we got signed by the Starkid gang. We actually got to talk to them! It was so cool. I hugged Joey Richter (!!!! <3 !!!!) and also got to talk to Meredith, Dylan, Joe, Jaime, Brian, and AHHH LAUREN LOPEZ MY HEROO!!! (She told me that I'm awesome. That's like the equivalent of Ellen Degeneres telling you that you're funny or F. Scott Fitzgerald telling you that you're good at writing. Seriously.) We had a ton of fun been those-screaming-girl-screaming-their-heads-of-at-the-front-of-the-stage, and the concert itself was really great and exciting and so full of energy. They sang all of our favorite Starkid songs and we all sang along. Their guitar player was an Awesome Asian names Charlene Kaye who was also their opening act, and she was pretty cool. They also had a ton of other cool people touring with them. There were a lot of people we know who were there, mostly from our school, but I also saw one of my friends from church events which was exciting.

*catches my breath* okay, I'm done.

Part 2: NANOWRIMO AHHHH

Because I was too busy being a concert-going teenager yesterday, I am now behind on my NaNoWriMo wordcount. It's great that we don't have school because it's election day, or else I would be in trouble. I'm still catching up right now, but then I want to get ahead.

I just made a pretentious Moby Dick reference. ftw.

BYEE!
