Whoa, It definitely doesn't seem like five weeks since that last post. I suppose some news is due.

Upon being let out of school, I went to Pigeon Forge, TN, and had an awesome fun time. I went to Dollywood two days in a row and rode all of the rides. Whilst standing in line for Thunderhead, I mapped out where the camera was on the track. Mum and I got on, and right as we go by the cameras, I cup my chin with my thumb and forefinger, raise one eyebrow and put on my serious intellectual / suave womanizer face. Needless to say, I purchased the image. Everyone around me is screaming their heads off, while I have mah srs face on.

And I bought a guitar. Baby Taylor yay.

And yesterday I got back from Greenbank, WV with the astronomy center and the huge radio telescope. We went to the chili cookoff at Snowshoe, and I saw some classmates here and there. Lots of drunk college girls and old people. There were a lot of emo kids, who apparently are drawn in in hordes by my dog. There were also a lot of drunk Bros everywhere, who also loved my dog.

Updates galore. Shall I fetch the pinata and alchoholic beverages?

OK SO. Talent show was awesome. Kinda sweaty, but still pretty radical.

I got my hair cut, and I slightly resemble a dude, but slightly not. 

I went to see my cousins, who are adorable, adorable, little children.

Aaaaaaand I just returned from magical fun time at King's Island. Freaking rode EVERYTHING (thanks, of course, to Lily and his persuasive abilities). The cicadas were like the screeching bowels of hell, but once you get past that, it's pretty awesome. The price of drinks was a huge ripoff, though. Freaking place is being run by commies.

Except Delerium, which was apparently German made, and we know they're all Nazis anyway. Heil nausea.
The day also resulted in some pretty hilarious coincidences, and amusing quotes (see title of entry).
"How did she not fall out?"
"Is she your wife?"
"OW, MY BALLS"
"No, I believe you're a fruit" "Remember? He's the one with the sore balls and angry girlfriend"


Upon my return, I found that I have apparently recieved a scholarship for a three credit course at UC for getting a 1200 on my SAT.

My feet hurt.

Why? I am unsure, but for some reason, I feel like I've got much to do. Undone science homework, a seemingly unending list of things to finish reading, and the talent show. I'm fine with the song, but the scene is gonna kill me. It's not that I am unwilling to do it,  it's just that it's slightly awkward for me to do.

In all honesty, I'd be less embarrassed dressing up in a fish suit and dancing the macarena before a stadium's worth of spectators. I struggle with seriousness. It's just two minutes worth of a scene, I suppose. Though it seems like an eternity. Why can't I engage in my usual nonsensical silliness?

I have, however, thought of things to look foreward to. I'm getting my hair cut next week, which will be sweet. I also get to go visit my cousins for their fourth birthday. Then, come June 6th, it's time to TEAR UP KING'S ISLAND IN A WONDEROUS ADVENTURE OF THE MAGICAL VARIETY. High-five there, Mr. Lilly.

But until then, I really really want to stagger about my house, slamming myself violently into walls without prejudice, until I'm bruise ridden, bleeding, and possibly sufferring from some sort of cranial trauma. That might disturb the neighbors, though.

I could impale myself in the street, and our neighbors would complain about the unsightly stain my inards leave on the asphault detracting from their property value.

Ah, people. They're strange creatures. I've noticed that I've been watching them way more than I should; taking mental notes on their behavioral patterns, even writing some of it down occaisionally.

It can't be stalking if you're keeping track of a hundred people.

I've come up with several discoveries about the nature of people in my time as an omniscent third-party. On the outside looking in, I suppose. To my dismay, I've come into contact with a specific breed of people. They're perfectly content to be, well, stupid; totally uncaring of the fact that there's more out there than being boring and unclutured. They don't care for anything. They simply exist, knowing nothing of the rest of existence, or worse, knowing and just not caring. Ignorant. They have their myspace, their television, and their friends to goof around with, but they have no other purpose. They care only about the petty and frivolous, a beautiful caricature of modern youth. The really awful thing is that this breed composes most of my peers. Tragic.

I'm trying to come up with some way to put them into perspective, some sort of comparison or analogy, but the only way i can envision them is as follows:

Seamonkies.

They're all just a bucket of damn seamonkies. At first, to me, before I really took a look at people, they seemed interesting. Just as the package displays magnificent creatures of a whimsical nature, people, at first glance, seem decievingly meaningful. However, much to my disappointment, this is not true. As one empties the packcage into the bucket, they make the discovery that these fantastic animals are but brine shrimp. I have made this discovery much too much.

There is now king with a crown and a silly tail. There is no woman with a bra and hair. It's just tiny brine shrimp. No way to distinguish between them. Inside the package, people are the same.

However, it's always a joyous occaision when I find someone who escapes this barrier. These, ducklings, are the ones I call my friends.

And I cling to them. I cling to them every second. These children are my creative drive, along with a select few adults that break the mold.

I love you guys.

P.S. I need to start using the phrase "You know what really roasts my nuts......" more often. It sounds silly.

Yeah....about my lack of updating...

I've had an enormous workload what with research projects and extracurriculars etc. BUT I PROMISE THAT AS SOON AS THIS PROJECT IS COMPLETED I WILL REFRAIN FROM ABANDONING THIS THING AND POST. Not that anyone reads this thing, anyway. As for the contents of this journal:

I will continue to make my usual, mundane "blah blah blah this is mah life" entries, but I have several detailed plans to transform this journal into something relatively entertaining. This journal will now be home to my insane, possibly dangerous science experiments and abominations. Silly devices and machines, some electronic, others of the over-complicated Rube Goldberg variety. My artistic projects will be put here in addition to being added to a new deviantART account. These include my more traditonal pencil to paper drawings, as well as my unusual little creations like flipbooks, wierd crafts, and other oddities. Perhaps, if we're lucky, I'll be able to set to work on some film projects as well...? All in good time, friends. I wish to make myself useful. Summertime will unleash some very creative days, I assure you.

*now back to reading some lovecraft*

Seriously. I have no idea who it is, but some group of dilweeds keeps parking out in front of my house and talking at absurd volume levels. AT THREE IN THE MORNING. I don't know what they're doing there, but they need to cut it out before I lose my mind and stock up on water balloons filled with rancid gravy out of my refridgerator. Seriously, you're gonna get pelted next time. Also, slamming your car doors is totally unnecessary. Please to be running over your own heads soon. And not only do they make a huge disturbance, they also litter up and down the street. I do not want to have to constantly dodge your used "items" on my walk home from school. That is gross. Find a trashcan for the sake of us all.

On the subject of litter, I see some pretty hilarious stuff when I direct my attention at the area around me feets. People leave all kinds of crazy stuff on the street. Old action figures and really out of place stuff. 

Also, there is a HUGE trail of bronson cans leading from the high school down the road to where the middle school is. This wouldn't be as funny were it not for the fact that the bronson in question was Nattie Light.

Although I can't say I'm an expert on the subject, from what i've managed to gather from adults is that Natural Light = the urine water of all beers. NATURAL LIGHT: THE OFFICIAL BEER OF GEORGE WASHINGTON HIGH SCHOOL.

If there was scrap of hope for intellectual advancement left present in the world, it has been burned and shredded beyond any hope of repair.

I cannot turn on a news channel without hearing senseless blather about the world of celebrity and rehab and supposed philanthropism of those who you know are so much more interesting than you.

Every news station I turn to, every current events website I access, and every newspaper I read, is plastered with the faces of the world's most precious and beloved trainwrecks. It's the inescapeable grasp of our obsession with other people's business that has stolen every sense of rationality and priority and smashed it into oblivion, and then continues paint our headlines with its filth. Next time you're at the grocery, look at the news stand. The tabloids vomit their headlines at you, all telling you to read about someone much more interesting than you are. The things they say are disgusting, too. I can honestly say that i have never touched one of these magazines, and I hope to God that I never will.

On a related topic: The Holy Trinity of Downward Spirals
 I speak, of course, of the three females that the world tends to feed from: Miss Hilton, Miss Lohan, and Miss Spears.
I realized that it has become fashionable to say "I hate Paris Hilton" or "Lindsey Lohan is such a chipper", but I honestly don't hate them. They are just not worth my time. People are too ignorant to realize that constantly talking about how much they suck only adds to their fame. If you just stopped giving them so much attention, eventually the world would get bored and they'd go away. I realize that my mentioning them is totally contradictory to the point that i have been trying to impress upon you, but it was a necessary instance. One moment of conundrum to delete all the rest.
              Let us vow that this be the last time we give them the attention that they love.

So about the aformentioned quiz bowl tournament....

We totally KILLED it. I shall now provide you with the complete account of last Friday's events.

I go to homeroom, check in with Mrs Williams, and then go to the lobby to wait for the rest of my team. We were then divided up into seperate teams (John Adams A and John adams B). We then piled into the cars driven by oh so gracious parents and were transported to the competition venue, which was St. Mark's Church down town. I purchased a delicious donut and sat at a table with my teammates Ranga, Afsheen, Mouaz, and Mohammed. Our first match was against AJ Middle School. They entered the room we were waiting in, and i immediately noticed their matching team sweatshirts. This was either a good sign or a really, really bad sign. We won by a huge margin. Next up was Hayes, and we won, again. Third and last match before the finals was against Horace Mann, and we won.

Match one of the finals was against Stonewall Jackson, and the beginning was incredibly close. We won, again. It was at this point that the fact that the other JA team (A. My team was JA B) had made it to the finals as well. All i thought was "please, PLEASE tell me we aren't going up against the other team from John Adams. Ranga and I could handle all the other teams, but Vijay is the master of all mathematics. Lord, have mercy on my soul."

I repeated this the whole time we were in the elevator, going up the hallway, and entering the room. I turned a corner, and threw my hands over my head and screamed "nnNNOOOOOOOOO", for before us sat the John Adams team A. I took my chair closest to the question readers, and braced for failure. They were ahead of us in the beginning. Then came the lightning round. Due to my awesome and vast knowledge of all things medical, I completed the answer sheet that asked us to give the common names of a plethora of bones. This put us ahead by a point. Then Ranga kicked it in to high gear with math. Afsheen and Mouaz killed it. The final question came, and we rang in with a correct answer. 

The day ended in victory and a promise of an ice cream party on the next practice day, which happens to be tomorrow.

I'm so freaking PUMPED. 

As an explaination for the title of this entry: I was watching the travel channel and that show "No Reservations" came on. Anthony Bourdain was in Portland, Oregon. His guide for the day? None other than Mr. Chuck Palaniuk. They ate donuts with bacon on them and had silly adventures. It made the fangirl in me excited.

This week has been beautiful.

Sunday it was nothing but sunshine and a lovely temperature of 70. Monday it was just as lovely with a temperature of 75, and I got a chance on the new motorbike. Tuesday and Wednesday had cold, rainy weather, but they were good days because we had no classes thanks to the writing assessment. We had two hours in first period, then two hours in third. I napped. Today was great, as we also had nothing to do due to the writing assessment, AND I left at 11:15 to go on a French field trip to Cafe de Paris to eat and incite language related shenanigans. The service was horrid, but my onion soup and chocolate mousse were Godly. Oh god it was great. It's sunny outside too. The only bad thing that happened to me today was the fact that I got my hand stuck in my locker door and my thumb won't stop bleeding.

Tomorrow will be equally amazing, as I will be gone all day obliterating the other schools in a quiz bowl competition. We leave at 8 AM and won't get back until 2. whoo.

Also I have a bunch of manga to entertain me until tomorrow.

Also everyone reading this go listen to Cajun Dance Party. Right now. Amylase is the best song.

As it would appear, I have once again failed to accomplish anything of signifigance on a leap year. I didn't even draw anything. Of course, the availability of  "Phoenix Wright: Ace Attourney" acted as a catalyst in my artistic progress. God, I love that game. I finished it yesterday. I was into the fandom before i even played the game, but now that I have I love it more than ever. I have to buy all of them. Immediately. Oh, and to anyone who intends to play this in the future: The function that utilizes the Nintendo DS's microphone may seem enitcing, but you WILL seem like an idiot yelling "objection!" and "hold it!". People will think you're insane.

My neck huuurts. Too much hunching over the keyboard, I suppose.

I can't eat anything. I've been eating soup and sherbert for the past forty-eight hours. You have nooo idea how much I want a burger and fries right now. I can't even eat my tuna sandwitch because the stitches in my mouth get in the way. They also gave me a ton of medicine to take. I have to take penicilin in case of an infection, steroids for the swelling, and these crazy tylenol hybrid caplets for the pain. I don't like those, nor do I plan on taking many of them because they make me sick and inhibit my ability to walk. 

In other news, there are a lot of bands that I need to get into. I'm making a list of stuff like The Clash and The Hives etc. 
I need more indie bands, too.

This is just a base. I'll make some adjustments and add a spiffy background or header image or something later. Right now everything's just yellow and green. I love sunflowers.

I'm getting all four wisdom teeth cut out on Friday, and the only thing I'm worried about is my ability to eat following surgery. That should say something about me.

My stomach hurts reeaally bad. Boy howdy do I love these Frank the Goat images. Could there be a more appropriate way to express my emotions than with the face of a horned farm animal? I think not.

The Spinto Band's music makes me want to crap rainbows and sunshine. Not unicorns, though. I'd imagine it to be painful.
