Woah der, new layout. What da hack?

My bird has an ugly squawk. I know that's not a nice thing to say, but it's true. 

I've finally posted for the first time in two weeks! :D I'm sowwy for all my business. I do feel really bad. :/

Ummm.... Today's been quite fun. -distractions- Anyway... -ahhh! more distractions!- 
Okay, so last night I went to a party. Which reminds me, I need to to listen to Last Friday Night by Katy Perry to complete my life. :P It was fun though. I mean, it wasn't like a huge party or anything. Just like a house party with 15 or so people. It was soooo much fun though. :) There were perty lights and yummy noms. :3 

Then, today 4/6 Curly Fries had their last marching band game for the '11-'12 season! Oh, it was so emotional.... and so much fun! We actually won for once! :D 31-14, baybay.


After that, I went with two of my other friends out to dinner and then ice cream. It was really yummy. We got Schnitzel and then I got hot chocolate, and they both got ice cream. It was a lot of fun though. :) Lots of insiders were made. :P


I need a shower.

DFTBA!♥

math class and nanowrimo

 In math class, we're learning how to find the roots of polynomial equations, and it involves (at least right now; maybe there's a better way to do it) doing some factoring and then basically guessing and checking until one finds the right number. I really don't like doing these sorts of problems (not that I like math in general or anything, ew) because the whole point of math, at least how I see it, is that there are ways to do things that work out properly all the time; there's not supposed to be uncertainty in math. But now there is and I don't like itttt. :(

Did you know that Nanowrimo is in three days? WELL NOW YOU DO. It is not going to be pretty, this November. >.<


For Halloween, apparently I am supposed to dress up as Christopher Robin, which basically means dressing in yellow and trying to look as short and short-haired as possible, I think:

except pants instead of shorts, because Curlyfryland is freaking cold on Halloween

Virgil is going to lend me her Pooh stuffed animal and it's going to be rather interesting.

Ummmmm. Yeah.


Momo, Virgil, and I started writing a photosynthesis song today, inspired rather by Not Our Bio Teacher's cell respiration song. It's called "Plant," because it is to the tune of "Animal" and we think we're so clever.


And I think that's it.

(NANOWRIMO IS IN THREE DAYS DID YOU KNOW FFFFFFF)

Things that I Wrote Just Now

Hello! I'm feeling really happy right now. So I'm gonna talk about teachers. 

Also, I have a lot of time so this post will be longer than the most recent 100 word posts we've been puttin' out. Aight. 

I love my teachers this year. Compared to last year where many of my teachers were either BAD or meh or forgettable, my teachers this year just make me soooooo happy. 

In APUSH today, our (House's and mine (my?)) teacher realized it was someone's birthday.

After a rather loud and squeaky rendition of Happy Birthday, he proceeded to skip (mind you, he's quite old) SKIP around the room while singing:

"Skip around the room!

Skip around the room!

We won't shut up until you skip around the room!"

With the birthday girl's arm linked in his. It was wonderful.

Next, he proceeded to tell us a story about how he "skipped around the room" with two sumo wrestlers in Japan and how his biggest fear was that they'd knock themselves out with their...their... man breasts (<---he said it like that). Also he drank 47 cups of soup and the sumo wrestlers drank about 700. 

He's also a good teacher, though. I promise.

In other news: I am continuing to love biology. Not only do we (Virgil, xiy, and I) have an awesome teacher, but it's just all so cool. And it makes sense. And I don't think I've learned anything in science since 7th grade!

Additionally, Virgil and xiy and I are having a dress like Bio Teacher day next week. We even invited the honors bio class. It'll be splendid. We'll all look something like this:

Also worth noting was a quote that was something along the lines of, "I guess she [my daughter] decided to be a slutty pirate for Halloween" :(. Hahaha. Good times.

Which reminds me, Halloween is on Monday! I'm so excited. I'm going to dress up as Tigger and I know Virgil's gonna be Pooh and xiy might be Christopher Robin and it'll be so fun!!! This is the only time of year that I can really express myself. <---Actually, I hate it when people say that. You can express yourself whenever you want. No one's stopping you. On Halloween, however, you can express yourself through costume without [necessarily] being judged. Which is why some my former costumes have included being a tomato, a blade of grass, and grapes.

LASTLY: Sometime in the last day or so, the 7 billionth person born on this hur planet. Isn't it cool?! I mean, it is kind of scary to think that there are billions and billions of people on earth and that there are so many problems already and all that stuff. But 7 BILLION!!! I can't even count that high! I remember in elementary school when I found out that there were 6 and a half billion people. That scared me. It's just. Woah.

I have to eat dinner now. BYEEE

Loooooooooooove,

Momo

October thusfar

I thought it would be cool to sum up the month of October by copying & pasting all

of our posts from the month into wordle, and then just sort of see what happens.  

You have to click on it to be able to read it well. 

"Lynda" is so big because of that one post when Lynda gave us a riveting retelling 

of her entire day, minute-by-minute in first person. 

Ahh, good times. 

Okay, back to homework. See ya.  

omg what am i doing

Hello!

... so I just realized I get to have the honor of posting on Halloween Eve. Eeeeeeeeep >.<"

It's been such a weird week! I have actually had (a few of) my evenings and nights free! No soccer! What! Ohmygoodness! (And Lynda still has lots of crew! Teehee!) It's been really weird. I've actually had time to start my homework, like, before nine o'clock pm. Soooo weird. What is this. No weekly sprints? What will I ever do.

*sigh* It's still been a really long week, though. Lots of things to be done >.<

My and Lynda's biology class did... err, not as excellently as we all were hoping to do on our scary huge cellular respiration test (*cue music* CELL RESPIRATION... WOO HOOO). Tomorrow I expect us to be attacking him with "Are you sure the answer key was correct?" "I said the same as hers/his, but I didn't get full points!" "No, you definitely told us in class that the answer was B! *sobbing*" "Whyyyyyyyy? D':"

Eghh. We'll see.
It's my bedtime now, however. Sorry to cut this post so short >.<
*quickly crawls into bed to hide from the scary Halloween monsters*

With all due respect,
House.

tumblr and apples and things

So basically all I've done this afternoon is finish Three Bags Full and then browse tumblr, because it is such a lovely waste of time and there's so much wonderful stuff there. Though it is kind of confusing, especially at first, because there's really no comment system and if one doesn't have an account it's difficult to navigate unless one knows the url of the tumblr itself. And then there's the whole how-do-you-credit-a-picture-when-it's-been-reblogged-10,000-times thing, which I think is an issue, though I'm not sure exactly of the details. But overall it's a fun place to waste time in and everything is easy once one gets used to it.


[I don't remember if I ever put it on here (I probably have; lately, school-induced lack of sleep has shot my short-term memory to pieces), but here is my tumblr, if you care to take a look.]

Tomorrow I think my family is going apple-picking, which unfortunately cuts down on frantic-NHD-researching time with House, though I much prefer apples to the Marie Paul etc. etc. Marquis de Lafayette (though he's cool too--after spending so long researching Robespierre, it's a lovely change to be reading about a guy who is actually remembered fondly in history ^.^). For one, apples are much tastier and apple-picking is fun and I get to spend my time practicing my pathetic tree-climbing skills and exploring the apple orchard (there's this weird little old house nearby and I like to imagine the story behind it) and eating fruit :D. Gala apples are my favorite; I hate red delicious apples because they're always too mealy and icky and the skin is always too thick and red delicious apples are the only kind of apples school cafeterias ever have (that and tough-skinned, dehydrated oranges; smallish bananas; and maybe not-entirely-fresh salad on a good day)--those, and sometimes super-sour green ones--and I absolutely detest them. But gala apples are nice, and also fuji ones.

Apple pie is good too. I want pie. ;w;

Nanowrimo (I've given up on spelling it 'NaNoWriMo,' because that involves hitting the shift key too many times and my lazy-butt high-school-sophomore self is too lazy to do so; it's also why I didn't capitalize the apple names earlier, even though I think that apple names are supposed to be capitalized) is in ten days omg. I'm not sure if I can finish it this year, but I shall do my best.

There was a bio test today and it was difficult but Momo, Virgil, and I were featured in one of the short-answer questions and it was exciting. :D We were a detective firm and, through the discovery that the murder victim's oxidized electron carriers, disproved a policeman's theory about suffocation being the cause of death (long story). I think I got that question right, though there was another question that was really difficult. :|a

Aaaaaaaand that was an unusually long post (I never noticed how many Us 'unusually' has, but upon reflection, there's quite a lot). I must be feeling very chatty today.

~♪ ♫ Cell Respiration woohoo ♪ ♫~

As you can probably gather from the title, this week in bio we've been learning cell respiration. And omgtherearesomanythingstoknowandtolearnaaggghhhI'mgonnafaaaiiiiiiillllllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Anyway.

Besides the every day bore of school and the stress of having a huge bio test as well as APUSH and Latin quizzes (that I still haven't studied for) tomorrow and an upcoming Greek test and English and Greek projects and NHD (omg) and all those other lovely things associated with the 10th grade...life's been pretty good.

I think today constitutes for a "Bad Things are in my Life so Pity Me" rant.

Latin/Greek teacher hates me. It's plainly obvious to other people too. She always singles me out with stupid things and tries to make me look bad. She also always thinks I'm not doing my work when, in reality, I have just been multi-tasking to the lovely background of her droning voice. In Greek she is the same way. She tries to correct my already correct statements. Then again, she does that to everyone. I am just so annoyed with her. I can't even put it into words. Gahh. That wasn't a very long rant. Lynda's more experienced than I am.

The other night/morning I dreamt in haikus!! My alarm went off on Tuesday very normally. And as normal, I fell back to sleep. After I wake up and then re-fall asleep, I have crazy dreams. For some reason, I thought that my sister had to write haikus for her English essay. Hers was:

Plate

Plate

Signify

For anyone who knows anything about haikus, you might notice that that ^ is not a haiku. I tried to explain to her that a haiku has 5, 7, then 5 syllables. She argued that plate has 5 letters in it and signify has 7. This clearly dumbfounded me. I continued to dream in haikus. I don't remember them. The End.

As a parting gift here are 2 real haikus:

There're too many steps

to learning bio such as

cell respiration
