Verbicide: Death by Verbs.

Everyone's hoping for a snow day. I would, too, but I don't think it'd benefit me too much. I have a paper due tomorrow, but there's this great new website my Modern English teacher started using, and it is called TurnItIn.com... You submit papers using the internet. D:

I think I want to go outside and take photographs with my Holga. I just... Don't have a subject or anything. :/ Too bad Angel's not here, I'd love to take pictures of her in the snowfall!

We're writing short stories in English, and I'm having quite some fun with it. ^_^ Emily gave me a good plot idea, I worked off that, reused some characters (Right now, just Fox and Cyan. I might throw in Erica sometime, though. :DD), made some new ones (one is based off a character of Emily's... She told me that I just had to name one of the minor characters the same thing as her character XD), and... Yeah. That's 'bout it. ^^ I should make character sheets for both Fox and Cyan... (Is anyone actually interested in my characters? ^^;)

This weekend is a BPA competition this weekend..... After I dyed my hair blue. =__= Never again. And by that, I mean never BPA again. (I will dye my hair blue any time I wish! And I will have as many ear piercings as I wish! D:< Gah, stupid rules!!!)
But this weekend Angel and I are going to try out her new interior design computer program. ^_^

Emo Sayings.

I was looking for some funny sayings, and I came across a quote site. ...They have an entire emo category! I find it both extremely ridiculous and somewhat funny. You can take a peep at it here.
It makes me think of Cheer Up, Emo Kid. XD (Auugh, update!)
By the way, this is my favourite Sequential Art strip: [link]

In Creative Writing Rachel stopped by my desk and gave me this really cool photo she printed out (on photo paper!) from Flickr. That was really sweet of her. ^__^ (I put it on the front cover of my binder... I really love cross-processing.)

Here's a music meme I did awhile ago. Enjoy!


Choosing only song names from ONE ARTIST, cleverly answer these questions. Pass it on to 10 people you like and include me. You can't use the band I used. Try not to repeat a song title. It's a lot harder than you think! Re-post as "My Life According to (Band name)"

It's late and I'm tired and we have no water, but I wanted to share this.
I was browsing through the journals in my 'Favourites' inbox folder on dA, and I found the link to this song, posted by a friend of mine.

Don't give up
Because you want to be heard
If silence keeps you
I...I will break it for you

I try to stay away from the emotional stuff on this blog, but this song really touched me, deeply. Even when it seems like everything should end, there's always more. It may seems like the world is only full of darkness and anger and misery, but hold on. Don't give up. Eventually the light will reach you, if only a sliver at a time, and hopefully soon you will be able to see past the horrors and witness the absolute beauty of this world. Just hang on long enough for it to find you. It will be worth it, I promise. Please.
You are loved.

When you are at the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and hang on. - Franklin D. Roosevelt

Psalm 126:5
"Those who plant in tears will harvest with shouts of joy.”

God Bless. <33

BIRD IS THE WORD.

Fetus showed me the video above. I love V for Vendetta!
...I really need to update my 'Cast of Characters' list for this blog.

Whirlwind by Robert Liparulo is out!
Apparently is was published in December?! I haven't been checking for the release date because I did a few months ago and I could have sworn there was at least a month left. =_=;;
I'm hoping my mom will offer to buy it (so my brother will read it). >:D

Before Christmas break in Modern English, we had to translate a scene of Hamlet into the theme of our choice. Our group chose Finding Nemo. (Garrett was unhappy because he had to be Dory instead of Bruce. XD)
I was the made-up June, brother of Nemo. (aka Ophelia.)

June: (After telling Marlin that Squirt burst into her room "all crazy and stuff," and in response to something Marlin said): "I'm not sure, I am pretty cute."
(Marlin's line.)
June: "Well, he grabbed my fin and started yelling."
Kadwell (teacher) (after we finished): "So the moral of this story is: No matter how cute you are, girls, you should never let a guy grab your fin."

I will remember that piece of advice for years to come. ._.

[EDIT:] I updated my Cast of Characters! Now you can refer to this post, if you wish, to see who I'm talking about in my posts. ^^ [\EDIT]

My Lovelylovely New Year's Eve

I figured I'd better write about this now or I never will. :D
This New Year's Eve was a great one!

So:
Angel comes over.
I discover that the mall already closed.
We sit around for 15 minutes eating pizza and trying to figure out what to do.
My dad suggests we see Sherlock Holmes.
My mom protests that the family was going to see that the next day.
My dad makes it clear that he does not want to see that movie.
Me, Angel, and my brother go see Sherlock Holmes.
Angel and I love it! (Well, I did! L-O-V-E'd it. Much better than Avatar! For so many reasons. ;_;)
We sit around and wait for my mother to pick us up. (I play 358/2, Angel texts, and my brother pretends not to know us.)
Angel and I desperately want to do a Chinese fire drill on our way home, but the moment we make this resolution, we don't hit any more red lights!
My mother has to stop at the store. (One very similar to the well-known Wal-Mart.)
Angel and I run all the way the way through the store, to the back, grab cookie dough, then run all the way to the cash registers. (We got some weird looks from some college-age girls!)
We run to the car, put the dough on the hood, then Angel jumps into a shopping cart and I race her down the parking lot!
MY TURN!
We videotaped both turns. (Videos on MySpace soon.)
We sit in the car, hardly able to breath, trying to warm up, and wait for my mother.
We missed the ball drop on TV cuz Angel was watching Night at the Museum. XD
We watched I Love Lucy in my bedroom, ate po-tat-o chips, and texted people with Angel's phone.

Sorry for the wall of text! ;_;

What did you do on New Year's Eve?
