silentdescant: (so exciting omg)
my computer's internet has been DISABLED, so the only way i can get online is on one of the laptops, which i can't use very often. *HEADDESK* so, SORRY i haven't been commenting or updating or anything else. >.< this sucks.

but anyway. HARRY POTTER OMG. got tickets to a midnight show on tuesday, and i watched SS on abc yesterday, and am watching CoS now. PoA is on tomorrow, and then luckily i have GoF for monday night, and theeeennnn ORDER OF THE PHOENIX YAAAAAY. i've also started listening to the OotP audiobook, but i should just skip around in the cds because i don't have time to listen to the whole thing. lol

also, my AP biology scores came back last week. the scores are out of 5, and a 3 is a passing score, and will usually get counted for credit so i can exempt out of biology classes at college. d'you guys remember how much goofing off i did during biology? and how much i hated it? i would'a been ecstatic with a 3. and i got a 4. A FUCKING FOUR. I got a four. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? I GOT A FOUR. *\o/*

i also now have 2 new pairs of shoes, and they are the cutest shoes EVER. :P i need to start PACKING omg. i leave for philadelphia in just over a week. i somehow have to fit everything i'm going to bring into one (small) suitcase and one carry-on. oh, and speaking of this trip, i finished the painting of my grandparents!! yay. i'm pretty happy with it, even though grandma doesn't quite look right. lol

oh, and! besides SCAD, there's now another school that i'm looking at, though i haven't really done a lot of research about it yet. it's in boston, which is cool, because i love boston and the north-east. anyway, it's called Emerson i think, or Emery or something. LOL! i haven't really looked at it yet! :P

WOO!

SAT2 Biology scores came in the mail today (but I already knew what I got because they were online like, weeks ago. >.<) anyway. I got a 660 (out of 800), which puts me in the 70th percentile. which is NOT TOO SHABBY considering how much I hated biology (and how bad I was at it...). and at least I PASSED. I really wanna know what I got on the normal SAT, though, because when I was taking it, it didn't seem very hard AT ALL. so that's either very good or very bad... >.
silentdescant: (to do list)
mini-rant about lost... well, more about the theorists, really )

ok, so anyway. last week of classes is this week and next week is finals (of which i only have one, i think), so OMGYAY.

my schedule )

also, my mom and i looked at my grades so far for psychology and media & messages and if i can pull out a high-B or (hopefully) an A, i'll get an A in both of those classes. \o/ i got a 97/100 for my research project in psych, but none of the other students commented on it, which makes me sad. >.< and i have no idea where i'm at for english, because i can't even stomach looking at all the things i've missed...

i'll talk about my film shoots later, because OMG I HAVE TO STUDY NOW. and i know i say i'll do stuff later ALL THE TIME, and then never do, but it's the last week of classes, so after this, i'll have about ten years of free time. LOL
silentdescant: (so exciting omg)
feel free to just scroll on by. i just wanted to preserve this transcript for my own (and hopefully others') amusement.

a chat between me and my sister.

for reference, we're in the same room while doing this. LOL

also, lost spoilers for season 3 finale in there somewhere. also, i edited out names of RL people we talked about. also, this is really REALLY rapid-fire. and all the times i'm saying 'dude pay attention', she's doing other stuff on her computer besides chatting with me. lol! demanding, aren't i?

lookit us procrastinate omg.

warnings for: length, keyboard smashing, typos, and LOTS OF RANDOMNESS OMG.

done with biology omgyay!

more to come.

eta: the day



so, that was my day, up to this point. Spidey review coming up shortly. :D

eta2: hahaha, i ROCK. i barely skimmed through the psych chapter, but i took the 2 practice quizzes (didn't do very well), and then took the graded quiz, and i fucking ACED it. *\o/* this is not reinforcing good study habits..... LOL
silentdescant: (oh crap)
I'm seriously going to stop posting twenty times a day. Really, I am. just. not yet. lol last one of the night, I promise.

- phone's completely run out of batteries. hopefully it will be charged enough by tomorrow morning.
- I'M completely run out of batteries. >.< taking one pill tonight instead of two because I don't wanna be fuzzy in the morning. down to the last set of dayquil for tomorrow... hopefully it'll last through the whole test. wouldn't want to start coughing and sneezing right at the end. >.<
- one last practice test tonight, then I have to wake up at 5:30 or 6 in time to leave at 7 in time for the test at 8 (I think).
- I just found out that WSU will count a grade of 3 as biology credit, which is a requirement for that college, so IF I get a 3 or better and IF I end up going to that school (probably not, but it's gonna be a safe school, I think), I will exempt out of biology. which is a VERY GOOD THING.

it ends here tonight. is that from a Howie Day song? NO, it's from an evanescence song. which I haven't listened to in forever. >.< actually, for me it ends tomorrow morning, but 'tonight' sounds more poetic.

Jill, I saw your post but haven't had time to read it yet! I'll reply tomorrow after I get home. :)

ps: hahahaha, my current music is "hope fails" >.< how bloody ironic.

goodnight, f-list. hopefully I will survive tomorrow. see you on the flip side.
silentdescant: (to do list)
so it looks like i'm at least going to survive the test tomorrow. i've been getting high 3's and low 4s (out of 5) on the practice tests, and 3 is the passing grade. so now the question is just how WELL i'm going to do, because i think i will end up passing (yayomg).

i've also finally gotten into a routine in psychology, but the problem with my routine is that i haven't been reading the chapter until about two hours before the quiz. >.< somehow i'm managing, though. and hopefully after the bio test i'll be able to devote more time to psych.

tomorrow will be the first day of intentionally skipping a class. with my favorite professor too! *headdesk* i told him and he says it's fine, but i wanna know what i'm missing!! although it will be nice NOT to be with my group. i don't like my group. and i really wish the final wasn't a group project. i work better on my own than with idiots. and i'm sorry, but why does it always end up with the good students paired with the really horrible ones? *headdesk again*

also, [livejournal.com profile] babybrothalova - i may email you a bit of one of the fics that i'm working on, because i don't think it's working out right... >.< but i dunno when i'll be emailing it, so don't hold your breath, lol. just didn't want it to be a total surprise when i did email it. *g*

and speaking of writing. runaway is kinda sorta almost done. except for the end. lol. but it really shouldn't be too much longer. i hope. i just wanna get it finished so i can not worry about it any more. *sigh* i'll work on it some more soon, i promise.

today

May. 11th, 2007 11:53 pm
silentdescant: (elephant)
took niquil stuff. dunno if that's how to spell it but whatever. i'm gonna fall asleep in about 5 min anyway. which means i gotta get in bed before then... lol

today was very blah. wore pjs to co-op, which was nice. been doing it a couple of times, ever since we had a "pj day" but i can't do it all the time because i hafta go straight from there to class on campus which means i actually hafta be dressed. anyways. today was a nice day so we were studying outside on the trampoline for a while, which was cool. haven't been out on the trampoline in like, a year or something. used to do it every friday... anyway. oooh, i have a trampoline icon. *uses* lol

wrote a bit more of that as-yet-untitled church fic. was gonna see about making a banner manip for it, but (on my first quick glance through my pics) i couldn't find any of dom where he looks grown up and serious and stuff. so if you guys know of any pics like that, let me know, okay? :)

ooookay, feeling really tired now. gotta get to bed before i fall asleep omg. hopefully i can watch lost tomorrow. *crosses fingers* there was something else i wanted to say but as usual, i can't remember. sorry about not reply to comments still. >.< i will, really, i will.

now i'm really about to fall asleep. g'night everyone.

oh, and does anyone know of any fics that involves dom doing yoga? i know i've read a few, but all i can find at the moment is magickalmolly's spiritual enlightenment. i'll ask lotrips_finders tomorrow or something. goondight.

test day

too bloody early. >.< throat hurts more today. not good. at least the test is only an hour long. wish me luck!

newsy news

May. 4th, 2007 11:16 pm
silentdescant: (to do list)
I haven't had a real update in a while, so: a numbered list of my life. >.<

1) I must thank the lovely and generous [livejournal.com profile] morebliss for giving me 2 months of paid LJ time. ♥ *bounces* That means I can upload a few more icons, like this one. *grin*

2) SAT2 Biology test is tomorrow at seven o'clock in the fucking morning, and I hate mornings with all kinds of fiery passion. Plus, am so not ready for it. Then a week and a half until the AP test. omg pls save me. *clings to f-list*

3) Today at co-op we skipped art class to do more biology studying. Which I needed and appreciated, no doubt, but the whole time I was just thinking "I wish I was doing art right now..." I'm in the middle of a Dom drawing! That so trumps biology.

4) Bit sick today and a little yesterday I think. Coughing and such. I felt like I had a bit of a fever earlier, but mom says not. Still felt like it, though. >.<

5) I had the loveliest dream this morning, but then I had to wake up and go to class. Not fair. cut for a little tiny bit about the dream )

6) Rewrote the script for the movie class. Now I just have to upload it. The director wants to meet with me and the DoP at Starbucks tomorrow to discuss storyboards. Somehow the rumour's been spreading that I'm a fantastic artist, which I am not. The only reason the pictures I draw come out well at all is because I copy them directly, no creativity involved. I have done a couple of storyboards before, but omg were they horrible. Anyway, now everyone's expecting me to come up with these great drawings. It's all the producer and Cute Guy's fault, I'm thinking, since only they've seen my sketchbook... >.<

7) On my little practice test I took just now, I got a 620, which isn't exact because the book had a fucking TYPO that kinda CHANGED THE ENTIRE ANSWER. omg. So. Not a horrible score, and I've certainly done worse. Not great either, but it'll pass. Hopefully I can recreate this score or better tomorrow at 7 in the morning. >.<

8) It's 11:00 and I still haven't done my psych online post that's due by midnight. fuuuuuuck. *hurries* Psych quiz Sun/Mon, hopefully I'll be able to pull through it.

9) I just wrote a little tiny bit of freakin' hardcore BDSM. Debating about whether or not to continue it. (you're all going to say YES PLS OMG, but I'm seriously not sure about this... >.<)

10) am tired. must finish psych, then go to bed and get some sleeeeeeep.
silentdescant: (happy)
1) My dad is back from Scotland and Kentucky. \o/

2) Study group session should begin NOW, but nobody's here yet. *waits*

3) My sister brought home two rats from her humane society thing. She volunteered to foster them. I don't really want rats. One of them's kinda cute, though. They're named after the Baldwin boys, Alec and Stephen. Alec is the cute one. *g* I've yet to do anything more than look at them, though. It's kinda freaky to have them crawl all over you. >.<

4) OMG MY ROOM IS CLEAN. Well, you can see the floor now, anyway. It surprisingly didn't take very long to do. Probably because I didn't do that much. There's still piles of shit everywhere, but all the clothes are put away (finally). Perhaps I'll take some pictures and post them sometime. My room is actually clean - this has to be documented. Dunno how long it'll stay this way, though. >.<

5) Still no emails from my film group people. Which leads me to think that either Cute Guy gave out my wrong email address like I did (how hard can it be to copy straight text????) OR, he hasn't done anything at all, which is probably more likely. I'm gonna kill him on Tuesday. >.<

6) Raquel pointed out to me that the song Apple Candy is like, EXACTLY C-verse!Elijah. And it seriously is. The line "I want you and I want him." is almost a direct quote from Catalyst. And "So you said 'go find some trouble' / and you would do the same / and we opened up our hearts and we could change." Um, yeah, anyone who's read the story should get it. So, if you haven't a) read the story, you really really should, or b) heard the song, tell me and I'll upload for you. :) Maybe that's why I love the song so much, I just never realized it. lol!

7) How be you, f-list? :)

oops

Apr. 25th, 2007 03:46 pm
silentdescant: (oh crap)
apparently I wrote my school-issued email address wrong on the contact info sheet last night, so I haven't gotten any emails. well at least now I know that I'm not being ignored or anything... >.< so, have txted Cute Guy with my CORRECT email address, so he should be hooking me up with the group any time now. O.o

both essays are close to being done. 1 needs a final touch-up before 5pm, and the other needs a little bit of finessing before 11pm. and then I should be mostly caught up with schoolwork (except biology, because biology is a bastard). I'm hoping that once I get on my right schedule with all my work and stuff that things will go a bit easier, especially after the biology test, which is in like, three weeks. *cue major panic attack*
silentdescant: (oh crap)
I was gathering up my artwork today to put it in my portfolio and take pictures of it to post, and I can't find my Frodo painting anywhere. :( It wouldn't have gotten thrown out or anything, so I'm not too worried, but I just can't find it. The only picture I have is one that I took with my cell phone which isn't that good. >.<

On my biology CD, there's sometimes little movies of a lady with a cadaver or a plastic model pointing out organs and stuff. Well, one of the videos with the cadaver was very strange, to put it mildly. some kinda gross details ) But the really weird part is this: she pointed to something and said (and I'm paraphrasing here), "Most people say it's about twelve fingers long, but I only have ten, so just imagine two more." O__o Does that sound REALLY weird to anyone else, or is it just me? LOL

Anyway, I should get back to work. I have a psych quiz today/tomorrow, a first draft of a paper due tomorrow, a resume and an interview on Tuesday, and then more biology stuff on Wednesday. >.< I think it's somewhere around 4-5 weeks until the AP test. Somebody kill me now. And oh yes, I have a LotR book test on Friday too.

Oh, also, I'm thinking about redoing some of my icons, because on this color-corrected monitor, they look like crap. They looked good on my old monitor, honest! lol
silentdescant: (dead at the time)
omg, I STILL haven't gotten back to a bunch of comments. I'm sorry! I'll reply eventually, really.

English Expository whatever the class title is >.<
  • um.. not much goin' on here yet.

  • readings to do, but haven't done them so far. >.<
Psychology
  • semi-yay for interesting textbooks! and I'd read about John Locke (Lost) being named after a psychology person, but now that this John Locke is in my textbook, it's phenomenally more interesting. lol

  • the prof sounds nice, but she seems to expect a lot. >.<
Biology
  • do I even have to say anything here?

  • approx. 5 weeks until death.

Other news: yay for flatscreen monitors. I have sooo much more room on my desk now, and I even organized my little bookshelf thingy with all my current textbooks instead of the ones from three years ago! \o/ Also, computer memory got fixed a bit, so my computer's much faster now. \o/ Also, WSU visit on... Friday. Dunno how it's gonna go, as I've never really visited a college before as a prospective student. O.o

Raquel news: She got off the plane and the locals immediately recognized her as queen and declared their loyalty. Revolt expected. ♥

what a long day. I'm about to fall asleep, really.

1) regularly scheduled co-op, and a biology test that I think I did reasonably well on. last week's test was horrible, though. also, I'm FINALLY caught up in LotR. *\o/* just finished TTT, and now we're doing a unit study on Fantasy and Poetry before picking up again with RotK. oh, I should post my little Gollum story...

2) first day of the weekend Career Counceling class. tons of fun, but loooong. there was one girl sitting next to me and we were talking about... something. I don't even remember. anyway, somehow the subject got around to her nephew, who's like, five or something. anyway, she said he goes around and paints people's nails and does their hair and picks out their clothes, and she said that the whole family is just waiting to see if he's gay or just metrosexual. LOL! also, she reads fanfiction, which is a plus! I don't know if she reads slash or not, but with her attitude about her nephew, I bet she does. annnnd, there was this other girl who wants to be a politician, and she's really cute and really easy to talk to, so we chatted for a while in our little group. tomorrow we're going to actually analyze our Meyers-Briggs test results and research careers. but through the stuff we did today, apparently writing is like, my biggest passion ever. lol! another one of my passions is Dom. seriously. the instructor had this little list of criteria, and as I was thinking about it, I realized that I: spend a lot of time doing Dom-related activities (reading fanfic and articles, writing, drawing, looking at pics, watching lotr/lost), I get inspired by him, I get motivated by him (like you wouldn't believe), and... some other stuff on the list that I can't remember now. well, there's certainly worse things to be passionate about. *g*

side note: I didn't post RunAway yesterday (well now it's past midnight for me, so the day before yesterday, Thursday), because the chapter's only half-finished. but I'm working on it, I really am!

tomorrow/today: second day of weekend class - allll day long. then, after that's finished, I go straight to the theatre to re-shoot the play, because the actors all flubbed their lines last week.

also: Regional Vex Tournament in GA! root for... oh hell, I don't know the team name/number. root for Tony's team! LOL *wishes them good luck*

randomness

Feb. 10th, 2007 03:24 pm
silentdescant: (happy)
numbered, because I want it to be.

1) Biology sucks, as usual, and I don't think I did very well on my test, but we did get to dissect cow eyeballs. That was pretty disgusting, but cool also. But still, very disgusting.

2) I'm nearly caught up in LotR. I have to read 6.5 chapters this week, but I already have most of the questions pretty much answered from class... Also, I have a 99 overall midterm grade. \o/ Dunno what I did (or didn't do) to make it not 100 though...

3) Group project for cinema is going horribly; we don't even have a script finalized yet. 10 days until it's due and we still have to plan, shoot, edit, and get music/audio for it. And all around our five very different schedules. I think the other girl in the group is going crazy because we're so disorganized. I wish people would just decide something already!

4) I got my hair cut! About time, too. It was too long for my taste, and getting all tangly all the time. >.< But now it's shorter (around my shoulders) and much lighter. While I was out, I was going to stop by the post office since it's right across the street, but didn't at the last minute because I only had about half the stuff I was going to send. Figured it'd be better just to send everything once instead of a bunch of different little packages.... >.<

5) Next weekend is my Career Exploration class, which should be a lot of fun. I'm about to take my little personality quiz thingies now so that the teacher can analyse the results or whatever it is that he does with them.

6) I have a love/hate relationship with a pair of my jeans. On the one hand, I love that they're loose enough on me to settle around my hips and make me feel like I actually have hipbones, but on the other hand, the fact that they slide down all the time means I have to either wear a belt or pull them up all the time. >.< Another good thing though - no matter what my body's doing, they're allllways a bit loose on me. Which is nice.

7) I need to figure out a recital song for piano. The theme this year is Toys & Games so the song either has to have a toy/game title, be from a movie/musical about toys and games, or the song has to be about toys and games. I've looked at the books I have but so far nothing's jumping out at me. >.<

8) This song, Allegro, is sooo pretty and I'd love to play it on the piano, but a) I don't have the music for it and b) my preliminary google search didn't give me much about the song to go on. :\
