Adventures in Panera & Why Geometry is a Lie

It's Saturday! (cue theme music)
La la la la, la la la la, Virgil's world! La la la la, la la la la, Virgil's world! Virgil loves Panera, but not math too! That's Virgil's worlddddd!!!!!!
(end theme music)

Today, I was supposed to meet Momo and xiy for a little studying-for-math-finals party at our local Panera. The party (okay, it wasn't a party) was supposed to start at 2. I didn't see them until after 3. This is what happened:

2:00 - arrive at Panera. Look around and realize that I'm the first one there. This does not please me. I order a cafe mocha and sit in a booth, then I finish the weekend math homework that I started in class on Friday.
2:05 -  the mocha is very tasty. 
2:10 - Momo calls and says she'll be there in about seven minutes.
2:15 - well, I suppose I'll do my Latin homework, too...
2:25 - maybe I should do this science homework as well....
2:30 - sike. I don't understand this science homework.
2:45 - where is everybody?
2:50 - maybe we were actually meeting at three....
2:55 - *calls xiy's house* May I please talk to xiy? Oh, she's at Panera? I'm here, too, but....
3:05 - Momo and xiy were on the other side of Panera the whole time, and they just didn't see me because I was in a booth and I'm so short that I was hidden. 


*headdesk*


After that, it was quite enjoyable. We studied for math (meaning: complained about our math teacher and probably solved a total of two and a half proofs) and then watched the police show up outside and talk to this guy in a hood, who we're pretty sure was a spy. 


While we were complaining about the horrors of geometry, xiy brought up a very valid point, which I would like to share:

A point is really nonexistent, because it's zero-dimensional and doesn't actually take up space, technically.
A line, however, is made up of an infinite amount of points... but how is it that a line can be one-dimensional?
According to what we've been taught, anything times zero ought to equal zero. However, this point-line case study proves the zero times infinity is, in fact, infinity. 


Therefore, by the zero property of multiplication....


GEOMETRY IS A LIE... 

...CREATED BY THE ADMINISTRATION FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF TORTURING US. 


I rest my case.


GET WELL SOON, HOUSE!!


Epsilon greater-than,
Virgil

pity me.

house is sick with an icky nasty infection that makes her tummy furious with the wrath of a few dozen angry goddesses. you should pity her on account of what a good friend you are. also, reminder: finals are super soon, so I guess we should start to actually like study or whatever.
with all due respect,
house

A Meme from Me!

Hey there.

As I have nothing interesting to write about, I'm just going to do what Virgil did on Saturday. Apparently it's called a meme...

From Urban Dictionary: Meme- noun. (4th definition) in blogspeak, an idea that is spread from blog to blog

From The Daily Meme: In the context of web logs / ‘blogs / blogging and other kinds of personal web sites it’s some kind of list of questions that you saw somewhere else and you decided to answer the questions. Then someone else sees them and does them and so on and so on. I generally consider these to be actual questions and not some multiple choice quizzes that determine some result at the end (what color you are most like, what cartoon character are you, what 80s movie are you).

Now that we've established what a meme (this type) is, here is mine(in the same format, w/ the same format as Virgil):

IF SOMEONE SAYS "IS THIS OKAY" YOU SAY?
"Single Ladies" by Beyonce-ahm...ok

WHAT DO YOU LIKE IN A GUY/GIRL?
"Big Time Rush" by Big Time Rush-hehe...yeah, sure, I like ppl who listen to their heart, and live in the moment... 

HOW DO YOU FEEL TODAY?
"Just a Dream" by Carrie Underwood-*blink* that's kinda depressing.

WHAT IS YOUR LIFE'S PURPOSE?
"遺失的美好" by Angela Zhang-why am I getting this? I don't deserve this! (to clarify, the song is about losing something/everything good)

WHAT IS YOUR MOTTO?
"Hey, Soul Sister" by Train-erm. neh. idk, this one's weird. I guess I feel that people should have a soul sister/brother?

WHAT DO YOUR FRIENDS THINK OF YOU?
"怎么办" by S.H.E.-BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!...(clarification, this is the theme song to this Chinese drama where this girl dresses as a boy to go to this all boys school, so she can stalk this other guy...the song is about not knowing what to do about her huge crush, blushing whenever he's around, her heart speeding...) So...my friends think I'm hawt? They, erm, like-like me? Gosh. Are you guys not telling me something?

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR PARENTS?
"Gotta Get Back to Hogwarts" by StarKidPotter-Ack. >.< That's not a good song for this...though, is it true? I guess...*sigh* I do want to go to Hogwarts...but...yeah....NEXT QUESTION!

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT VERY OFTEN?
"If I Ever Could Love" by Keith Urban-Oh, I love this song! Except...do I think about love a lot? wow...doesn't sound like me, the I-Think-Love-is-completely-rubbish-for-me-but-hey-I'm-fine-with-y'all-being-lovey-dovey-just-don't-get-it-on-me!

WHAT IS 2+2?
"525600 Minutes" by RENT-hahahaha...sure. Let's go with that. Hey! Look at that, I even remembered the units! :)

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR BEST FRIEND?
 "Everywhere" by Michelle Branch-(that song on the old CHASE commercials? "'Cause you're everywhere!") Ha. Yup. I think my friends are everywhere. I love you guys for that! <3

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE PERSON YOU LIKE?
"Because You Live" by Jesse Mccartney+"Lukas Podolski"-So, this one, my iPod played two seconds of the latter, then skipped to the first one. Erm. The 2nd song is in German...I think it basically worships Podolski though...I worship the guy I like? Awww...the 1st song is so sweet. Idk. Maybe I really like the guy, and it's for him that I live, I live to worship him?

WHAT IS YOUR LIFE STORY?
"Hot n' Cold" by Katy Perry-HA! I'm a PMSing bitch who's bi-polar! HAHA! It's rather close, too!

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GROW UP?
"Hero" by Sterling Knight-Wow. I'm gonna be a hero for the person I love? jeez. I should get my future "love" to pay me for "hero services"

WHAT DO YOU THINK WHEN YOU SEE THE PERSON YOU LIKE?
"I'm Alive" by Celine Dion-this is surprisingly consistent. I seem to "get wings to fly, I'm alive" when I see the person that I (look above) live to worship...

WHAT DO YOUR PARENTS THINK OF YOU?
"(Absolutely)Story of a Girl" by Nine Days-uhm...they think I cry too much, but they love me when I smile? I don't cry though!

WHAT WILL YOU DANCE TO AT YOUR WEDDING?
"Trouble is a Friend" by Lenka-this is sooooooo ominous...is it an omen? That I'm gonna find trouble when I'm acting as the "hero" of my love? Yeesh, creepy.

WHAT WILL THEY PLAY AT YOUR FUNERAL?
"America AO" by Aaron Carter-Yeah. Right. Play a pop/rap/rock/heavymetal-ish song at my funeral, future grandkids! I DARE YOU. Watch me come out of my grave and smack your little behinds! *fume*

WHAT IS YOUR HOBBY/INTEREST?
"Pocketful of Sunshine" by Natasha Bedingfield-HAHAHAHAHA. I like to laugh and smile and be happy, and dance with butterflies!

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR FRIENDS?
"青花瓷" by Jay Chou-Ahhhh...if I don't really know what the heck this song is about...I don't even know what the title really means! Well, it's pretty. So, um, I think you guys are all pretty.

WHAT'S THE WORST THING THAT COULD HAPPEN?
"If I Were a Boy" by Beyonce-MWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!!!! YES! THAT'S THE WORST THING THAT COULD HAPPEN!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

HOW WILL YOU DIE?
"Kiss a Girl" by Keith Urban-Erm...I'm gonna die cuz I kissed a girl? STDs? Herpes? Poison? Disgust? Stab in the back? 

So, that was my very amusing meme about me! It was fun. I liked the 2nd last one. It fit soooooo well. Haha. *wipes tears from laughter* So...gotta go to sleep now! (Or do my Greek hw...) G'night!

Luv, Lynda

P.S. I know what I'm gonna write about next week, if nothing big happens. Remember that question about "what my friends think of me"? The song to that was for a Chinese Drama. I think I'll write my condensed version...Should be fun. I liked that drama...slightly weird and totally improbable, and mildly creepy, but whatever. 

Title.

Hi. 

Happy Shmosh day/week! :D 

*Procrastination.* My bad. 

Uhhh... where was I? Oh right, Shmosh day/week. Anyway, it's a holiday (made by yours truly and this other kid) that's kind of like President's day... only you get presents. George VI, a purple penguin, comes in through your front door and hands you a present if you've been good and a puked up fish if you've been bad. So be good, he's watching you. *Inquisitive look*

Sooo... Happy Shmosh day, y'all. 

Yay. No homework ^_^

Boo. Finals start next week. 

Yay. Upcoming 2 1/2 day week. 

Uh, I'm wearing awesome pants today. They are AWESOME. Just saying. 

'Kay, I think I'm gonna go now. Bye. 

DFTBA! ♥ 

Smiles, hugs, and lots of love, 

Carrie

gym class and finals

Ow. I don't think my legs work properly anymore. They're really sore and bending at the knee hurts a lot. I attribute this leg-pain to gym class, in which I have to do a lot of push-ups and sit-ups and complicated exercises. Gym class does not make me happy. >.<

Like Momo said, finals are coming up. This does not make me happy either. Geometry proofs are especially annoying, as I know why things are congruent (aside from the fact that they're always congruent, because things in proofs always are; sometimes, I wonder why they bother asking if it's already obvious that ABC and DEF are congruent from the minute you see the words "Prove ABC and DEF congruent") but it's difficult to correctly iterate it onto paper in the form of "statement" and "reason." Especially when the teacher tells you that she did it in all of five steps, when you're already on step 17 and desperately wondering if you've done something wrong.

Sigh.


Anyway, that's mostly it for today. 
Right.
I'll just be going now.


xiy.



 

FINALS!!! D:

OHMYGOSHFINALSARECOMINGUPANDI'MGOINGTOFAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAILTHEMALL!!!!!!!!!

Goodness, I sound like Lynda! Yes, finals are in two weeks and the stress has already given me about 4.6 panic attacks per class period--I am freaking out!!! Aggh! I think next week if the posts are especially short/non-existent that we should be excused. What do you all think?

Did anyone notice our 14th follower? I noticed. Welcome, 14th follower!! We love you!!!!!

I think we need to do a theme week/actually do the book club (remember that?) since the posts, no offense, are getting a little bland. I think maybe we could do something like Virgil did on Saturday because I thought that it was very funny.

I'm really tired now. I think I'll eat some chocolate and then go to bed. Goodnight and stuff!

OMG!! I know something that House told me!!!! :O

--Momo

UPDATE: I just noticed what a dumb post this is. Will a kitty make it better? Who am I kidding-- kitties always make things better. Here, have this one: 

It's 1/1/11 and Virgil hates birds.

Sometimes, especially at times when I'm being woken up at the ungodly hour of 10 a.m. on New Year's Day by the obnoxious squawking of birds, I like to imagine what the birds might be saying to one another.
This is how I picture it:
Bird Number 1 (posh British accent): Why hello there, Bird Number 2. How are you on this fine New Year's morning?
Bird Number 2 (rural Kentucky accent): HI BIRD NUMBER 1 IT'S NEW YEAR'S MORNING AND GUESS WHAT? I'M A BIRD!!!! 
Bird Number 1: Well, young fellow, there's no need to shout.
Bird Number 2: I'M A BIRD!! ISN'T IT GREAT? WE'RE ALL BIRDS!!! YAYY!!!
Bird Number 1: Tut, tut, Virgil is trying to sleep.
Bird Number 2: HAPPY NEW YEAR, VIRGIL!!! I'M A BIRD!!!
Bird Number 3: I'M A BIRD TOO!!!
Birds 2 & 3: YAY WE'RE BIRDS AND IT'S NEW YEAR'S MORNING YAYYY
 
Oh, joy.


So today, we're going to have fun with Virgil's iTunes library! Yay!
