Nostalgia and those other Sappy Feelings

HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII.


So...today it hit me that I'm like, a lot older than I was last year. Shush. Don't make fun of that statement.


It's not like a, "I'm 16...OH MY GOODNESS, THAT'S BIGGER THAN 15!" It was more like one of those days when you're just reminiscing on what happened in the past...your good old days w/out APUSH, NHD, AP Bio...*sigh*


Anyways, as I was reminiscing, I reminisced (<--an actual word y'all. I didn't make that up) upon how cute it was that HOUSE and EZ have been together for 2 whole years...*giggle* I remember when it was brought up at our lunch table in 8th grade that EZ liked House, and we, being the mature middle-schoolers that we were, bugged House about it :) That was fun. I think I remember something about Momo demanding EZ to sing "Love Story" by Taylor Swift to House <3 lol....


*cough* So those memories led to the next Sappy Feeling: lurve...


So...it's interesting 'cuz xiy still claims that I'll get a bf before her (HA!), and that I'll be all mushy with him (PSHAW, yeah right), and that she'll have much fun teasing me about it, because I'll "be just as bad as House and EZ are" (HA!). Ah....the things that xiy believes...


Sappy Feeling 3: fondness of old rants (yes, it's a real feeling. at least, for me)


I went through my first Monday post, and I found this lovely quote:


"I hate him. I want to stab him to death with a spear. Make that 10 spears, 20 machetes, and 18 forks. He had the nerve to turn around after a song, and say, "I think you were rushing a lot." *STRANGLES THE AIR* And then he keeps poking me with his bow, and I just wanna stand up in the middle of the concert, and start hitting him with the metal stand."


ahhhh....it's a lovely little rant, yes? It's even better, because I still hate that nasty twerp. Whatevs. He's last chair now, no longer care.


"I was listening to my radio the other day, and a nice-sounding girl started to play. but then the song ended. And the DJ said, “… and we’re back. That was ‘Baby,’ by Justin Bie-” THAT’S WHAT YOU AMERICANS LISTEN TO??? GET SOMEQUALITY MUSIC ON YOUR IPODSSS!!!"


hahaha...the parody post, that's funny. :)


"*Lynda goes boom* I KNOW IT'S DECEMBER! WOULD YOU STOP TELLING ME IT'S DECEMBER?! I DON'T FRICKIN' CARE IF IT'S DECEMBER! I KNOW ALREADY! STOP TELLING ME IT'S DECEMBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*SCREAMS LOUDLY AND SHRILLY* *TAKES OFF RUNNING IN OPPOSITE DIRECTION*"


I don't even know what spurred this...hmmm. idk.


It's amusing to read through my old rants, because they stem from really petty things that accumulate, and then I "goes boom" apparently :) 


However, I am now mature and no longer rant about petty things. I have control over my loud and overbearing and complaining and dramatic and sometimes('kay, most times) violent emotions/tendencies now :)


Anyways, I have to chant more Greek for the final tomorrow. 'Night!


Luv,
Lynda


P.S. Isn't it funny I sign off with "luv"? Cuz I'm like, the least cuddly/loving/mushy/sappy person out of the Curly Fries...although I did devote a post to Sappy Feelings...but most of it was random old rants...

this is post #485

Oh, right, I was supposed to post today.

Well, nothing terribly interesting has been going on lately, and I don't want this post to be lamer than it already is, so have a few doodles and the completed version of last week's Lafayette.

 Okay bye now.

NHD and Other Stupid Things

Winter break is on the near horizon. That means only one thing in the minds of all students taking APUSH right now: NHD!!!!!!!!!!!! Also the fact that finals are coming up (like the Greek final on Tuesday (omg I don't know any grammar or vocabulary or history (but besides that I'm good (but there isn't anything else)))). It also means Latin Convention (YAY!!!!) is coming up (YAY!!!) and that we should start projects (BOO!!!) and listening to House pester us to memorize things (BOO!!!). We also have band concerts next week (Virgil, House, and I are on Monday and Carrie's on Tuesday) aaaaand my sister's birthday is on the 13th. 

Bio teacher made my life today. We were supposed to have a huge test on genetic-ey things and suchness but no one understands it completely in our class (even Virgil and that's saying something). He decided to spare our puny brains and move it to Monday. Oh joy! Oh happy day! *skips around* Lynda and House still have it tomorrow though. Ha. 

Tomorrow I plan to donate blood for the first time ever. I've been reading up the website and looking at information. I'm technically a few pounds underweight but if I wear shoes and drink a lot, no one will notice. I've been eating very iron-ey (not irony) foods to get good blood and drinking lots of water. I'm pretty pumped. Hopefully I'll be eligible for donating. :D 

That concludes today's post.

The End

I remembered!

I actually don't have time write a legit post, but I remember, and that's a step up. 

Life is really complicated right now. I don't want to talk about it. But to all my friends, I apologize that lately all I do is whine and complain about stuff. :( You guys are probably sick of me right now, but I swear I'll try to be better!

Before I forget and you all hate me,,,

Hi! 

Well, I will be leaving for the closing night of our school play in less than an hour. I am part of the sound crew and so far I've had a great time. :) 

I just got up from a nap since I'm sick (and I'm shaking, that's not too good...) and I'm about to eat. 

So I must depart, lovely people. goodbye. 

DFTBA! ♥

Smiles, hugs, and lots of love,

tablet tablet tablet (lafayette!)

Hello* and happy December! Today is Momo's two-days-after-birthday, which should count for something, and today I got my tablet in the mail (hooray for quick shipping times!), which is a beautiful, beautiful thing.

here is an ugly illustrative sketch

 I'm still not actually very good at it, because it involves drawing on one thing while looking at the computer screen on which the drawing shows up, which involves hand-eye coordination that I'm not superbly proficient in. However, everything is so much easier than drawing with the mouse and everything is sparkly and filled with rainbows now. :D 

(My mother insists that it's nothing more than a glorified mouse ["WHY DOESN'T IT HAVE A SCREEN? WHY DOES IT HAVE NO INTERNET?" she complains, even though I've already explained to her that a graphics tablet isn't like a portable-computer tablet] and that it definitely wasn't worth $60, but she is completely and utterly wrong.)

So I was messing around in Photoshop and trying to do a few get-used-to-this-thing doodles that morphed into a sketch of  our good ol' Marquis de Lafayette that I guess I'm going to color now.

Here's what it looks like so far.

And thus we segue into the second part of my post today, in which I talk about how content I am about the fact that NHD is going swimmingly. House and I went to go visit History Teacher and APUSH Teacher today, and they both had very positive and helpful comments about our entirely crazy; why do people even do National History Day? project on dear Lafayette (see? iz a segue), and I feel a lot better. Perhaps we might even get through winter break and not crash and burn. I am actually semi-hopeful about it now.

This week was a very long week after Thanksgiving break, but now it's Friday and therefore all better. Our school's putting on the musical Wonderful Town this weekend (plus yesterday and today), and I'm not yet sure whether I'm going to be going or not. It sounds like a good play, but I'd rather sit at home and play around with the tablet I don't know if I'll go.

Holiday decorations have already been put up everywhere, which is both nice and kind of sad; nice because they're pretty and shiny and colorful, but sad because we've only just finished Thanksgiving--one practically gets holiday whiplash and there's no real time to process one holiday before moving straight on to another. I suppose this says something about the human condition. :P

Aaaaaaand I think that's pretty much it. Have a lovely weekend!

Crap Post

Goodness. Posting has been going slowly decreasing every week. What's going on, you guys? Where's the spark to write and post and blog that we used to have. Even though we're all rather busy, it doesn't mean we can't take a few minutes to write a weensy post. 


My birthday was yesterday! It was very nice. House, Virgil, Lynda, and xiy  decorated my locker (a lot) and I got lovely gifts from family and friends. 
Every year since I was very little, my mom has told me about the story of when I was "boring" (when I was little I got being born and being boring mixed up). My mom told it to me again last night. Isn't weird to think that at some point we used to be little balls of fat that couldn't talk or see very well or think for ourselves and now we're learning college-level material. It really blows me away. 


In my English class, we are studying transcendental-era writing from Walden, Emerson, Thoreau etc. We have a project in which we must give one luxury up and add a beneficial thing to our lives. I gave up eating candy and sweets and junk food (BAD IDEA) and added yoga-type things. I don't wanna do it!!!!


Okay. My tummy hurts. I'm gonna stop now.
That was lame post.
BUT I POSTED.
