with words I thought I'd never speak

I am in love. I just. He's just. Yeah. Love.

Let's see, I have to call Tony and wish him a happy birthday, I have to call Erin to catch up on the gossip we missed last Friday, and I have to call Augie back because.. um. I randomly called him out of boredom and left a message, and he called me back. >.<

Oh, it was so funny yesterday in Italian; we were all chatting before class started, and one of my classmates (who's always nice to everyone) started going on and on about this girl she saw out in the hall. Stuff like "she looked so dumb, like she's going to die from doing something completely stupid like walking in front of a bus to pick up something." And she was just talking and talking, and we were all laughing, and then one of the guys came in, and she was like "Did you see that girl in the hallway? The one who looks like she's gonna die from doing something idiotic?" and the guy was like "What? OH yeah, her." And so the conversation continued.

And then, when the teacher walked in (long after the conversation had finished), she came with a new student. She was blonde, messy, super-stick-thin, and looked dumber than bricks, I kid you not. I glanced over at my classmate, and we walked out together after class, and I was like "WAS THAT HER?" and she glanced around and said "YES OMG."

The funny/pathetic part? The girl looked every inch how my friend was describing. LOL

VOTE FOR DAZZLE!!!  She could win... erm, something. Like, money and pet insurance or something like that. SOMETHING GOOD. ANYWAY. VOTING ENDS APRIL 7th!!

ps: am in the process of writing a real, much longer post.

Monday is my last official day of school. I have an Italian final on Tuesday and a Physics final on Thursday; my two writing revisions are due in by tomorrow (and they're finished--OMG BEFORE THE LAST MINUTE, YAY ME), and I have a "self assessment" for that class (yeah, I don't know either) due by Monday. And then? FREEDOM. ...for, like, just over a week. UNFAIR. BUT FREEDOM.

So, tomorrow: Italian presentation, which hopefully will go okay. My lines are partially memorized. And how did I end up with the two longest lines in the script? >.< AND THEN, a quiz in physics which I'm sure to fail, because I've pretty much stopped paying attention in that class, and he's trying to cram all this crap into the last week, and everyone in the class is just like OH FUCK OFF. So which is better: sucking in two classes, or sucking HORRIBLY in one and hopefully doing mildly okay in the other? Or do they average out to the same thing?

The sucky part about physics is that I would probably do well with it... with a different teacher, on a different schedule. *sigh*

I'm going to be reciting my Italian lines in my sleep tonight. My two hardest lines:

Io e la mia famiglia ci siamo andati agosto scorso e non ci siamo divertiti. (WOO, THAT ONE'S MEMORIZED! hopefully it will stay that way.)
Che??! No!! I miei zii abitano le a Tragani, e sono pazzi! Se andrò ci avro dovrò a visitare loro. (...yeahhhh, that one's still killing me.)

And then next weekend (directly after my physics final), I (and hopefully Tiffany) will be going down to Tacoma to do the FIRST stuff, which will last for like, 3 or 4 days. It should be fun though. I think my official job is "prop assistant for the announcer", which should mean that I'm gonna be handing the guy a bunch of weird crap and getting a lot of down time while being right up front so I can see the action. LOL I love that my mom's the volunteer coordinator.

oh, randomly, I have 10 pieces for my portfolio! wooooo. will post pictures of the ones I'm gonna use... sometime.

9. Juliet's father has disconnected her phone and locked her in a 4th floor bedroom to keep her away from Romeo. As she looks down from the balcony, she sees Romeo standing directly below her with a cell phone in each hand. Hoping to speak with her, Romeo throws one phone straight upward. In his eagerness, he throws too hard and the phone passes her outstretched hand (not once but twice) and strikes Romeo on the head 5.0s after it leaves his hand.

11. Unjustly blaming Juliet for his physics miscalculation in Problem 9, Romeo makes a plan that he things will not depend on her ability to catch flying objects. Noting that the balcony rail is almost 12m above his outstretched hand, he stomps 12m away from his previous position and prepares to throw the phone at an angle so that it will land on the balcony whether Juliet catches it or not. Determine the magnitude and direction of the initial velocity that will result in the phone reaching the peak of its motion just above the rail.

(from the sample exam that my physics teacher sent out)

School was canceled due to snow today, by the way. FUCK YES. SNOW FTW. And the weather report says more snow tonight, so I'm hoping it'll be enough to close school again. *CROSSES FINGERS*

Things that happened over the weekend: I had a bra fitting. SCARY, but a good thing overall. And now I have 3 very nice new bras that actually FIT and make me look great, so, that's good. And after that my mom and I went shopping in Nordstrom, and we basically never left the dressing room. OMG, those helper people are so nice and awesome. I ended up getting 2 sweater things and a summery shirt. I never knew I could wear stylish stuff and look nice. It was almost overwhelming to see that I did look nice. Really, amazingly nice. I really was kind of shocked. I'll have to post pics sometime. Oh, and then on Sunday, I went to see a movie with my dad, The Air I Breathe, which I will post about sometime later.

good idea: starting homework when it's assigned, then finishing it well before it's due.

bad idea: ignoring homework and starting it the night before it's due, at 10:40pm.

take a guess at which idea I had.

in other news, I rather liked Kingdom of Heaven, though I did think it was too dark most of the time. there's a time and place for darkness, and most of the time, I just want to see what's on the screen, really. I liked Orli's hair, though. lol

and in still other news, mock_the_stupid is hilarious.

ETA: Not due until Friday, yayness! unfortunately, that is now tomorrow, and I still don't have near enough of it finished. FUCK.

this poll is for Tiffany's enjoyment and education. please vote! :D

oh crap, it's 1am. today = first day of school. Italian was interesting; there were 2 sections of the 101 class, but now there's only 1 section of the 102 class, so we've merged together. physics was kinda awesome, the instructor seems pretty cool. tomorrow we're doing some kind of experiment with bowling. should be fun. so far in writing, I've introduced myself and gotten several replies about my nano fic. \o/ speaking of, I need to get cracking on that, but not right now. I also have to choose another picture to paint; there's one I like from the second photoshoot we did, but the position's just SLIGHTLY off, and I'm not quite confident that I'd be able to wing it. I also have to take care of those STUPID FUCKING DVDS OMFG *KICKS THINGS*. it's the job that won't. fucking. end. and the worst part is, she's already paid me. also, I have to email Kevin. shit. the FIRST kickoff is like, next Saturday or something. or the one after, I dunno. and also, one of my NY's resolutions is to stick to weight watchers omg. >.< and also, I had lots of stomach pain today, no idea why. *clutches stomach* owie.

anyway, now Raquel's got me dreaming about a new fic, as well as a couple WIPs, and omg sweet dreams tonight. *cackles*

and randomly, Brent Corrigan was awfully adorable when he was young. well, sexy and adorable. LOL

I think something got a bit mixed up here... "The flies left his mouth like tiny words." (from chapter 19, Captivity) Since he's a bear, I suppose it's possible for flies to be leaving his mouth, but... I doubt it. LOL I finished the book, by the way. I'm going to start The Subtle Knife tonight. :D

And also, my highest score in bowling today was 111. That's alright, right? I think that was the only time I broke 100. LOL

and so much stuff has happened! first of all, in TV land...

- The Office: Casino Night - OMG JIM. CRYING. LOVE. AWWWWWWW. ♥ SO MUCH.
- The Beatles' Help! movie - CRACKTASTIC. I think the best part was watching them mess around in the snow, LOL.
- the Monk and Psych holiday specials - were nothing really special. >.< but any new Psych is good, because it is adorable. :P

in the mail today came the movies Reign Over Me, which looked really good, so I can't wait to watch it, and THE FLYING SCOTSMAN. YAY!!! I also have Hairspray from the store, and that really has to go back, but I haven't watched it yet...

in school news, I got an A in Studio Production. as if I could've gotten anything else. and a B in math, which means I didn't do fantastically on the final, because before the final, I think my grade was about a B+... and I don't have my grade for Italian yet, but my grade prior to the exam is a 92.8, which is ALMOST an A, I think. I looked up the books I need for next quarter: Italian uses the same book I already have, which is very nice; Physics requires like, 4 different book/workbook/study guide things, booo; and the two books for Writing Fiction look AWESOME. can't wait to get those in my hands. :D

as I said a while ago, cute guy had something else going on and couldn't come to Sweeney Todd, but it's always fun when my dad and I see movies together, so I really wasn't too bummed. the movie was AWESOME. and the blood was very Tim Burton-ish: bright bright red, and therefore not very disgusting. there was a lot of it, though. but there was so much humor in the movie too, it was really cool. and then the costumes were awesome, and the singing was alright, and it was just soooo cool!! I do think the gothy makeup was overdone in a couple of scenes, though. but overall I liked it. I can't wait to see it again when it actually comes out. lol!!

currently, I'm rearranging furniture in the house. amazing how just rearranging a room makes it look so much cleaner. LOL of course, there's actual cleaning being done as well, much to my annoyance. :P my friend is coming over on Sunday night and staying until Monday to help us clean (she's getting paid to clean, btw. I wish I was getting paid. >.<) I think the grandparents are coming on Wednesday, which doesn't leave a whole lot of time... and then my dad's birthday is on Saturday next week, so that's when we're going to have the first big family dinner of the holidays, I think.

other randomness:
- I'm in chapter 4 of The Golden Compass, and so far I realllllly like it. hopefully I'll be able to finish it before I go see the movie.
- omgwtf coyote? there was a coyote in our backyard earlier today!! WTF? for reference, I live in the very densely populated suburbs. O.o
- ever since classes ended, I've been staying up extremely late at night and waking up extremely late in the morning. I dunno why. my body rebels against waking up early now. :P
- FotR last night = ♥. I don't know why I get so fangirly when the movies are on TV, seeing as I have them on extended edition DVD.... :P
- there's a part near the end of The Attack of the Unsinkable Rubber Ducks (which I finished recently and really enjoyed) that I agree with SO MUCH that I was literally saying "YES, EXACTLY!!" out loud as I listened. I don't want to spoil anyone or spark an argument or anything, so I'll just say that the passage pertains to religion and leave it at that.
- tony emailed me a photo of us from the weekend we first met. awww, we're so little! apparently we were 12, but we certaily don't look it from the picture. lol
- I started writing a Dom/Viggo ficlet a few days ago and it has since grown into something much more involved than I was planning. but there will still be porn, don't worry about that. *g*
