with words I thought I'd never speak

( grades. boo )

oh, and that cute physics guy? as time went on, he just got more and more annoying and boring. gah. what is it with boys? he started off cute and nice and interesting, and then it just got kinda "....ooookay then." y'know what I mean?

and also, music. first of all, I'm suddenly very into Lily Allen and I totally want to buy her CD, and secondly, this video is in that weird freaky-awesome-hilarious zone.

( Alfie - Lily Allen )

tomorrow: piano lesson, more editing of Citadel, and hopefully The Other Boleyn Girl. I can't believe the recital's in a week. >.< and also, I love Citadel, still. it's one of my favorite things I've written, I think. and finally; I've heard good and bad things about that movie, and I just really want to see it to satisfy my curiousity. and to see Jim Sturgess. 'cause seriously, he's adorable. LOL

first order of business, THIS SONG OMG. I've had it stuck in my head since this morning. and this girl, Brandi Carlile, is from where my friend lives. HOW AWESOME? but omg, yes, this song, I AM IN LOVE WITH IT. I'll upload it if anyone wants it, but not right now, 'cause I'm about to go to bed.

ok, next up: DOM LOVES BILLY, IT IS OFFICIAL. LOL I HAVE NO WORDS. I'm just in a prolonged state of fangirl squee.

school-wise - ONE FINAL DOWN, ONE TO GO. I studied for a lot of the weekend, and I took six fucking pages (graph paper pages, not normal pages) of notes, TWO of which were just vocabulary. but the final went well, I think, and there were sections of it that I was 100% confidant about, so that was very nice indeed. unfortunately, during that time, I didn't even touch physics, so now I have all of a day to go over that.

OH. we have a bunny. my sister's fostering her for the humane society, and her original name was SMIPPLES (yes, you read that right). the first thing the people said? CHANGE HER NAME, PLEASE, OMG. 'cause no one could read it right, or figure out how to pronounce it. we're now calling her Lyla, and she's adorable and soft and weighs more than one of the dogs (Peanut). LOL Peanut's a bit nervous about her, but okay with her; Dazzle's scared out of her mind (we think she's seen Monty Python/Holy Grail too many times, LOL), and Popcorn either HATES her or is just completely freaked out. Lyla nearly gave Dazzle a heart attack when she first got here: Dazzle came in and jumped on the bed and saw this movement out of the corner of her eye and she was like OMGWTFBUNNYRABBIT?!!!?!?!?!!!?! and she's been hiding under my desk a lot now. LOL *pets her*

( spoilers for... Project Runway S4 Finale, Biggest Loser Couples (tonight's episode), and Lost - the one about Jin and Sun )

and THE RICHES IS BACK TONIGHT. WILL WATCH IT TOMORROW.

OH, and I had something to post about my Italian class, but I'll save that for later, since it's kinda long and I've already talked about A TON of things. OH, and I wanted talk more about The Other Boleyn Girl, and the second one, and... oh what else? OH RIGHT, King Arthur and my Sex & Sexuality textbook. LATER, THOUGH.

OH ALSO, I can't wait for ScriptFrenzy. I WANNA START NOW. question: would you guys wanna read it as I write/when I finish? it's weird formatting and stuff if you're not used to it. and I'd have to figure out a way to post it, 'cause last time I tried, LJ just erased all the formatting.

OKAY NOW I'M RAMBLING. BEDTIME. ...oh and, FIRST this weekend. unfortunately, I don't think the SeaTac tournament will be simulcast, otherwise I'd link you to it, but if it is, I'll let you know. it's very cool.

so after about a week of sleeping and resting during every spare moment, I'm moderately healthy again. I think. Slight cough still, but that's it.

today I met with the other two girls in my Italian presentation group, and we got a rough outline done. (I should probably be translating, actually...) schedule for that: meet tomorrow at 12:30-ish and get a rough dialogue written, have either the teacher or one of the tutors look it over on Friday, practice practice practice, present on the 14th. O___O but after today, I'm feeling a bit more confident. It's a pretty good story this time, and it incorporates all the stuff we've learned so far, so yay!

dunno what the hell's going on in physics. there's the creepy dude, the cute dude, and the freaky mean girl and none of us have a clue, and so we're probably just gonna fail or something. it's the teacher's fault. he's an idiot.

my portfolio presentation is like, 90% done. I just need the cropped pic of my Boromir painting and then jpgs of all of the pictures, and I need to fill out that form, oh yeah. and then it'll be done and sent in. \o/ (about bloody time.)

am currently writing my 'final story' for my writing class, which is supposed to be up for peer review by today (but it's not finished yet!), and in the mean time, I've been reading over some of my WIP fics, and hoping to get started on those again. yay!!

AND OMG RAQUEL JUST TOLD ME THAT EDDIE IZZARD IS GOING ON TOUR. AND WILL BE IN SEATTLE IN JULY. I WANNA GOOOOOOO. *PLOTS*

italian presentation tomorrow, which i just now finished making. oh, it's gonna be such crap.

physics exam tomorrow, which i haven't studied for. that's gonna be worse than crap.

writing journal due... half an hour ago. will do it tomorrow. that's already crap.

new vignettes due... shit, today. those will probably be crap.

chores - before i go to bed. also, note to self: *DON'T FORGET* give laurie my psych book tomorrow. and where the hell's the workbook to go with it? must find.

oh yeah. SLEEP. that's moderately important, is it not?

oh, poor Dommie.

I'm making up freakin' WEIRD alternate universes just to have an excuse to write him getting beaten bloody. >__<

maybe it sparked from rewatching the Lost s3 finale? quite possibly. or maybe I just love him in pain. very probable. god, I'm such a sadist with him.

although, at Raquel's behest, I'm giving my other new fic a relatively happy ending. :P

I don't even know what to do with this new one. seriously. *shakes head*

also, ITALIAN TEST POSTPONED TO FRIDAY! and there was much rejoicing.

Ho voluto affiggere prima di adesso, ma non ho avuto abbastanza vocabulario. Io ancora no ho abbastanza, ma uso WordReference.com. Questa mattina mia professoressa ha dato un pop quiz e sapero ho fatto bene. Dopo abbiamo iniziato imparare il Futuro Anteriore tenpo. È non davvero difficile, se recordo Passato Prossimo. Cazzo, è difficile a scrivo in italiano! Mia testa offesa.

Probabilmente uso la parola male.... >.< Ma oh, vedi tutti ho imparare!

Adesso voglio mangiare; avere molto fame. Userò inglese quando sarò tornata, prometto.

ANCORA, scrivo una nuova storia (finalmente, dio santo... >.<)!! Devo sapere di un terminazione.... Ma finora tutto bene.

Oh e, il traduttrice è molto confuso... :P

ok, so my sister is out of commission for like, 5 or 6 months. apparently she tore her ALC tendon or something like that. she's going for an MRI tomorrow, and she has surgery planned for like, a month from now or something. so now she's depressed, because she's very active, normally, and doesn't like sitting still for long periods of time. Dazzle is FREAKING OUT. she's getting so crazy now that my sis can't play with her. tonight, our friend took her to dog class and ran her with his dog to get some of her energy out.

I meanwhile, felt better today. I dunno what it was; maybe having my Italian homework TURNED IN and starting a new chapter there, or maybe it was finally understanding something in physics. I was listening to some good music in the car, traffic wasn't too horrible, and I got to school early enough to work on some outstanding physics homework. and the skies have been SO CLEAR lately, the mountains on both sides of the city (the Cascades and the Olympics) both stood out and looked amazing.

although the physics lecture today was so well understood I didn't even bother taking notes for part of it. me and this other guy kept looking at each other like OMG HURRY UP THIS IS SO FUCKING BORING. we counted down the minutes until the end of class. >.<

I need to post my vignettes for writing today, but GRRR, am having trouble logging into vista. FUCKING VISTA. hopefully I won't get marked off for posting them a day late if I explain that I COULDN'T BLOODY LOG ON.

tomorrow's schedule: Italian, physics, physics HW Q&A, piano, art, and hopefully sleep. TGIF omg. y'know, last night I actually went to bed before midnight. O.o!

OH, AND TORCHWOOD. OMG IANTO FTW. ♥

today was much with the wtf-ness.

( to and fro )

Anyway. That was my day at school. I recorded a voice post, but then people started talking to me, so I couldn't finish that. eta: but it posted anyway! Here it is. lol Now on to less boring stuff.

1. bloodrayveness has posted an RPS Fandom poll, which I really want you all to go vote in, because I'm very interested in everyone's answers.

2. Reading semaphore27's This Is The Way the World Ends (lotrips/the stand crossover) is probably not the best idea late at night. But it's so good. Oh, Dom.

3. I'm having trouble thinking of a good situation for my writing assignment this week, Last Lap: "Last Lap places the character, right in the opening lines, close to the climax of a series of events. So the story begins partway up the face of the cliff and not when your character, Arnold, first got interested in mountain climbing." It's quite an interesting prompt, but all I can think of now is mountain climbing. Any suggestions for a situation? Anyone? Anything?

ok, list of stuff I hafta do tomorrow:

- revise and turn in my facade and juggling vignettes (asdfjlaskjflsjkdf JUGGLING IHU)
- email Kevin omg
- try to extract those stupid fucking dvd files
- read physics and start online hw (which was only posted TONIGHT, WTF. grr, teacher)
- italian hw
- paint 
eta: read history. stupid history. >.<

hm, what am I missing?

in other news, I slept until almost noon today, which was quite lovely. but then I ate breakfast and then nothing until dinner, so I completely pigged out on pizza, and now I kinda feel sick and gross. >.<

I think I had a bit of a breakthrough on my painting (hopefully). AH, THAT'S WHAT'S MISSING. *adds to list* anyway. I need to finish that and start a new one, like, really soon. like, tomorrow. hopefully.

oh, I stayed up late last night reading and reviewing vignettes from my fiction classmates, and I just have to say something: after reading all those, I feel like the majority of you guys on my flist are better writers than the guys in my class. ♥ there were a couple of pieces that I really enjoyed, though.

and randomly, I just realized how much I'm gonna miss my best friend here when I go off to college. we get half an hour of girl-talk time on fridays, and last week was really good for some reason (though, omg we are such gossips. LOL). I should have her over sometime soon... when she came over to help clean the house before the holidays, we stayed up SO LATE just talking. and now I'm making myself kinda sad, so I'll stop there.

oh, but omg, the new girl in my art class is SO ANNOYING. (she's not really new, but she's new compared to how long we've been doing art with the same little group). so I was talking to my friend in her bedroom before art, and the girl comes in, and I was trying to tell some story or other, and she totally interrupts me and starts just rambling on about something COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. my friend is just looking at me like O___o and I'm looking back at her like O___O!! with my mouth kind of hanging open in shock, and when the girl finally stops talking, there's one of those weird, awkward silences, wherein I say "...SO ANYWAY" and try to pick up where I left off. that wasn't the first time she'd done that, but it was definitely one of the most OBVIOUS and ANNOYING times. she's just, like.. completely lacking in social etiquitte. omg. >.<

sorry to go all 'preteen girl' on you there, but she just bugs the hell out of me. let's see, how many times did I say "like" in that paragraph? wow, only 3? I said it more in my head, believe me. LOL anyway, that's all the inane rambling I'll subject you to tonight. I'm off to bed.

'tis 8:15. I should leave in 15 minutes. I haven't eaten yet, though. I haven't printed that pic I was going to start painting today. I finished my Italian homework at 3am ('cause it was easy, so I procrastinated). I stayed up really late reading DOM/ELIJAH (but it was Establishment, so it was good), and omg, I actually got Raquel hooked on it as well. LOL!!

job from hell had more issues: the DVD that supposedly didn't have errors didn't re-download back in completely. like, the whole end of the show is just not there. I tried importing it from the DVD with the error in the beginning, but apparently it either couldn't get past that error, or there was some other problem with it (I wouldn't be surprised). omg I wish this lady would just FUCK OFF. and my mom isn't helping me with it because she said I know more about it than she did. that is NOT TRUE. I didn't even know Premiere could import those file extensions off DVDs!! (it's cool, though, because I think I have part of a movie saved like that and couldn't play it, so...)

and why is it so bloody cold in this house?! *snuggles under several layers of blankets* >.< can I stay home today?
