Ultralive

*ahem* FINALS!!!!!1!!SHIFT+1!!! Yeah, they're evil and they're coming. Here's the rundown; Christian Apologetics: not worried and will only need to study a little, Chemistry: not worried but will need to study a lot, Calculus: worried about the final somewhat and will need to study a lot, Economics: no real final, just a test over chapters 3 and 4, Art: Final project instead of tradtitional final is sucking my will to live, but probably won't end up all that hard methinks: just paper and big Escher-like drawing, P.E.: I hope we still run to starbucks: that's tradition. Oh and then there's the reason I'm only somewhat worried about the Calc final: I get to take the BC AP Calc test the day before my 2-day final. EXPLETIVE!!! So, yeah. Oh and there's the whole college thing that's been incessantly gnawing at my ming for about 1.5 years now and the prospect of seeking employment looming closer. But, none-the-less, I am Ultralive ;)

This is new

I distinctly remember intending to blog yesterday. It was a little while after I'd been home, or a little while after supper, not sure which, and then I promptly went on to do something else that I'm sure was a good use of my time and forgot about blogging. Prom was last friday night: those who went got to enjoy the Carousel theatre's rendition of Carousel. The after prom party at a friends house was the crown of the night though in my opinion. (Then again I went because I had to and went alone so...) I thank the host family for again for the delicious food (if you've never had butterscotch pancakes: try them, I believe they are delicious) and letting us use their house, and being incredibly amicable about the whole thing. We're getting certified for CPR and some 1st-aid in P.E. this week. 2:30 is the golden rule for everyone, though I have trouble finding the correct place to apply compressions. I blame this on my chest. For those of you who don't know, I have a concave chest, which means that my chest forms a bowl or a convenient can-holder if I slouch right. Summer is soooo here. Yeah yeah, it may or may not be here according to the calendar, I don't know and don't care, the weather is great and seems to be finally looking to stay. (course, now that I've said this it's going to snow tomorrow night) I detest biographical reports. No ones life is so interesting as to deserve a report upon it. The only exceptions for this that come to mind are some biblical characters. This is because their lives have become stories for instruction. Most people's lives aren't and wouldn't work well for that anyways. Now some will say that there are folks who made important contributions or drastically changed the course of history that are report worthy. To the first, I agree that many people have made important contributions to the world, so write about the contribution not the person. People as just people are really rather dull: we're capable of the incredible but are usually crap, and we know it. To the second: if your religious, there's likely one person who has made a larger change to history than anyone else could. In Christianity, these people showed up and were recorded in the Bible, with it all leading up to Christ who changed the world more profoundly than anyone else ever will. If you are not religious or do not believe in any higher power, changes in history are subjective and there can't really be any that are more worth writing about than others, besides, even here it's still the change in history that is interesting in most cases, not the person. The only exceptions I would agree about outside people whose lives were genuinely interesting, but interesting is a subjective observation. So, yeah, I'm fed up with art class at the moment: as cool as M. C. Escher's art is, his life? so dull. Why do we care about the artist anyhow? Isn't it the art that got them recognized, isn't the art what we actually care about? What is this report about artists and their usually dull, occaisionally R-rated, lives actually for? (there are only 2 people who are older than 17 and one of them is particularly disgusted by some of her artist's work: it's not something she would've exposed herself to normally and wishes the class hadn't forced it on her, unless I miss my guess) While, some may say it will develop my writing skills, that is something for an english class, not an art class. If you have any insight, please leave a comment, if you think I'm off my rocker and out of line, well firstly, your probably not a proponent of free speech, and secondly, please comment: you'll likely provide amusement for my "rocker-less" mind.

Nrrrg...

So: prom is tomorrow. Hooray. Soon people will go back to normal and take the elevated stupidity levels with them. I had lunch duty today: same ol same ol chili. It's still yummy as ever. So, now that I've managed to drag myself from my reverie, I'm going to brush my hair as it's after 10.

Hrrrrrm...

Tues came and went sans blogging again. I think it will still be the "official" update day, but I obviously am not able to hold myself to it strictly at this point in time. Last night I had much more important things than blogging anyhow and didn't get back till early today. I brawled for a good 7 hours last night, minus the break we took to watch Advent Children. Somewhere along the way I picked up Zelda. I'm not sure when this happened. It's more than the fact that I'm good with spamming fireball, I can do the other stuff too, though I'm having to get used to the fact that Neutral-B got nerfed from melee. i'm still legendary with Marth, I didn't use Samus much because that's one of my friends preferred characters and I've got several to choose from, Kirby got passed on for similar reasons, not that he got used much, it's just that whenever I was in the mood for him, someone else had grabbed him and I get confused on who's who as is. Next run on please :) Ike got some fight-time, don't think I won with him, but I believe I caused others some nightmares, Ice Climbers and Pikachu got used for old times sake, I'm suprisingly good with Pikachu and it bugs me. I mayhaps found a way to deal with teh 50N1C problem: 5H31K. Speed, close-combat, a chargeable (kinda) ranged move, and other niftiness is seeming like a good thing to do when I end up 1v1-ing that blasted Hedgehog. Are hedgehogs rodents? The Pirate Ship is my favorite stage for the right half of my stable: awesome music, great atmosphere, just a good place for swashbuckling. New Pork City, despite our initial bemoanings, is a fun stage, and alright for my newfound talent. Eldin is good for my 2nd good Character: it's a flat stage with some twists, much better than the new Final Destination which was shrunk a wee bit much. Spear Pillar is another fun place, though it's not actually that good for any of my characters and the boomeragns are annoying. So, there's my Brawl rant. Oh: I'm on Spring Break!

Edit: so, this was "posted" last Wednesday, but due to a problem I didn't notice till now, I don't believe it showed up.

hehe, whoops

Well, tuesday came and went again. Slightly legitimate excuse for missing updating is that I attended a scholarship banquet for UW. Basically they said not only are we a great school: we are rakin in the dough and we're willing to give you some to attend, plus you'll benefit from cutting edge equipment. So yeah, that was kinda interesting, and may have swayed me away from CSU. Really need to see what CSU is offering first but I'm betting they can't compete. Also heard that they're not giving out as many scholarships past freshman year. We finished the spring play last weekend. It went well and was very funny. The play was *deep breath* The Marquis Crossing Ladies Society First Attempt at Murder. Quite humorous. The underclassmen+Juniors are taking Stanford 10 tests today (suckers) so I've got this morning off, as well as yesterday afternoon. Apparently, my blog is slowly spreading around teh RL. It's rather wierd, especially since people seem so hesitant to reveal their sources. It's a spirit week this week at school. Somehow, lack of inspection on the part of the office I suspect, Student Council got Crossdressing day passed at school for Monday. I wore a nice black skirt/dress thingy. It was really rather comfy and warm. Tuesday was Oldies day which I never participate in because it would require a DC 5 Knowledge:Fashion History check which I am cursed to roll low for. Though, with what some people have theorized as my INT score, failing shouldn't be possible. Wednesday was clash day which I abstained from for the same reason. Today will be crazy hair day. My hairstylist (pillow) has made sure I'm plenty ready. Now, back to projects of which thou shalt not be apprised of!

Later has come

Johnson's Corner: World Famous cinnamon rolls. I'm sure there are biohazard signs on the kitchen doors: anything that good can't be healthy. Yes the regret came, and left, and I still remember a good cinnamon roll and I won't be hungry for a while. IYF Travis, try standing a bit closer to the edge: you'll get a better view. Calc=Evil. Mathematically true, I'm sure of it. Chem is just hard, not evil. Oh and the crazy ideas are coming much faster now: I acted on one today, not sure why. We need to finish the sky lights up better: I'm not so good at that part. I'm really superfluous: anyone could learn the job I do: it's not very hard. I just weave a lot of bravado into it ;)

Heeey, that's convenient

So, I didn't post last week. Obviously, none of you are suprised: I've not posted for months at a time. BUT! this time, I have a legitimate cop out! Not only did I honestly forget about the blog again (shush, not funny), but I was grounded last week. Yeah, as fun as Super Smash Bros Brawl and random internet flash games are, if your mother/math teacher says: you have a test this day, I want all the hw for the chapter before you start, then she's gonna be awfully irked when you say yous ain't ready. Thursday night was sooo good though. Brawl, cookies, pizza, Matrix, friends, skittles, friends who don't like skittles leaving more for you, awkward moments, yeah, that's a good night. Now if only some of these people can be convinced that going to bed at 9 AM isn't as bad as your body will tell you. (Seriously, that whole nauseated, feel like I've run 5 marathons, muscles don't work properly, eyes have sandpaper rubbing them feeling? It can be gotten used to) Oh, and today sucked :)

Oh, it's Wednesday

See, I was going to try to post every tuesday. Obviously, plan a has already run into difficulty. I"m also seeing other problems: there was something really funny that happened last wednesday, and I was going to blog it. There was something really cool that happened last thurs, and I was going to blog it. Those events have vacated my RAM. Something important also vacated my RAM today, not sure what it was, but I know it was something I forgot. I've also forgotten what my third injury from the basketball season was, what I ate for dinner sunday, and the other thing I was going to put on this list. Does Alzheimers ever strike early? Friday night was good though: hung out with some friends and played Rockband and watched transformers (the movie). Then went to a different friends house for the night and played dnd. Voila, there's what I remember from my life.

Get to it.

So, short story short: I had a good weekend, played Dnd (Dungeons and Dragons for you uneducated non-heathens) friday night/saturday morning, spent too much of the rest of the weekend sleeping. I say too much as I'm rather behind in calc but have a plan to catch up which will require me really buckling down, hence the short story. Basketball season is over (hooray, but I'm sad one of our co-captains didn't get to play in the last game) which will free up a lot of time. Now let's see if I can keep the evil distractions from eating up this newfound time. and I need more vault...

I'm updating, happy?

It would serve you ALL right if I didn't actually type anything besides the title. Anyhow, yeah, my last post was along time ago. Christmas and the New Year came and went with Thanksgiving before them. So, brief overview: I was in a play for my school, it went well and people still like my voice for reasons I don't understand. Christmas was spent at home and enjoyed. The family has been graced by a Wii which I wish I could allow to eat more of my time. I enjoyed new years, but I have no clue what movies I watched that night. All well. My brother's birthday came and went, he wasn't the happiest about it, he wanted a party and didn't get one. He did like the presents he got though (even if they weren't "100", he still liked them). Now it's nearly the end of Feb, nearly the end of basketball. Thank goodness. So, there's the overview of my last blog-free 6-months. Now, back to Calc : \

I'm back!

For now... I'm headed out again on friday to my Grandparent's house but that should be short. I'm quite happy to be home, even if I don't get to sleep in my own bed tonight (we have family over babysitting my brother while my parents came and got me and I think that sentence is a grammatical nightmare) Access to a reliable computer that doesn't take forever to boot will be nice (Rose has a screwy network) So yeah, that's me for the moment.

Wierd (and I spell it that way on purpose)

Yesterday was odd. Mostly it was sitting around in a lab that didn't work waiting for it to work because all we were supposed to do yesterday was type our papers. Oh, and we played bingo and it turned in to just goofing off and I heard the stupidest joke I've ever heard although it supposedly makes sense if you get it (figure THAT one out) Anyways, the funniest thing happened to me yesterday. Ok, probably not "the funniest thing" but it was pretty funny. Me and a couple of other guys ordered pizza, 3 one topping pizzas for 5 bucks each, Domino's. It was good when I finally got it, but the first time the guy delivered, he delivered 2 pizzas, a box of breadsticks one of the other guys ordered, and, yes, an empty pizza box. It was downright incredible, no pizza had even ever touched the box. I got my pizza 15 minutes later, so it's all good, humour and pizza are definitely a good combination.

schlump

Yeah, we've all kinda been in a schlump, not a whole lot goin on. We're typin up reports, finishing posters and thinking about how best to ad lib an elevator speech (My group isn't but a lot are) Evenins seem to be fairly quiet, with the junk food down to cruddy popcorn and worse soda, things seem to be winding down. I'll be home soon and that'll be nice. Though apparently I won't be sleeping in my bed -.-

Amnesia?

I have no clue what I did on saturday. Ok, I remember Adam being irritated about something during project time, no, wait, that was Friday. I have no clue what I did on saturday EDIT: ok, for some reason the rest of this post was murdered by teh interlag. :P So I'm editing and adding. I still don't know what I did Saturday, not a clue, But I remember the blissful sleep of sunday, and yesterday. Ok, not much yester day but a little more than usual. Um yeah, the last couple days have been eventless pretty much.

Corinth is makin a comeback!

Err, yeah, that's our team name sorry. But I'm happy because other people are happy. I don't care about winning so much but depressed/angry people are irritating/not fun to be around. Thus I am quite happy that winning kickball and volleyball has boosted team morale. I have no clue what we're playing today but I'm sure I'll enjoy it. And people just walked in so I shall go find somehwere else that is relatively quiet.

brrrr...

Ice is cold. Blankets are warm unless they are wet. Wet blankets are cold. All blankets are insulators. Wet blankets keep ice cold. Ice makes people cold. Wet blankets keep ice and people cold. Thus my unappreciativeness for being woken up with a bucket of ice. (ok, so I did oversleep a little, it wasn't THAT much, won't be doing it again though) I played soccer yesterday with my team. Yes they divided us into teams because... nevermind I don't know why. Today we play kickball (and undoubtedly will provide another win to some other worthy cause) oh, and nylon get's old fast but our strongest string so far held over 120g (don't remember the exact number) so yeah, I guess.

Caving+Volleyball=fun

While I didn't do both in the same day, both were incredibly fun. and dirty: my tennis shoes will probably not be their original color for some time. And I realized this morning (after missing breakfast again because my alarm wasn't on) that I didn't buy what I meant to buy at Wal-Mart last night: socks. All well, there might be another run tonight. Now, let's go see if that nylon is no longer covered in hydrochloric acid mmmkay?

Did the alarm go off already?

Wow... I might need to find out where the caffeinated drinks are, or jump on a Wal-Mart run. This morning I woke up at 8:12. That's not good since breakfast is over at 8:15 and the mornin meetin starts at 8:30. So, ok chewy bar for breakfast to reminisce on yesterday... I can deal with that. But not for long if I keep up the attempted 7-2 days. Managing ones time is definitely a key skill in college (I'll bet some people think sleeping in class is too)

It's summer...

not. Ok, I've been out of school for 3ish weeks now. I think I've been home for 5 days. First we went to Maryland to visit relatives and a cousin who's graduatin. Everybody who knows about this blog might've known that already but I don't care: I'm venting. Now I'm at Operation Catapult, a college camp type thing at Rose-Hulman. I've met some interesting folk so far and I think I'll enjoy myself. That doesn't change the fact that it's not home. So while I shall enjoy this, it is so not what I had in mind. All well, July shall be interesting.

Whoa, I didn't know they had insane asylum's online

I'm back. I don't know that I went anywhere besides school since my last post but I'm back anyways. I suppose I was at a friends house last night. We watched 3 movies, not necessarily in this order: Without a Clue which is a hilarious parody of Sherlock Holmes, Blazing Saddles which was awesome crude humour aside, and History of the World Part 1, which, well, is probably the 3rd worst movie I've ever seen (BattleField Earth and Plan 9 From Outerspace anyone?) because of all the crude humour in it but it was humour and so we had a good time watching it anyways. Well, actually Rico (not his real name but he has answered to it) tried to wipe the memory of this portrayal of the last supper from his mind, but we're good friends *grins maniacally* we'd never let that happen. And now to the title of the post: yes, there are insane asylums online. They take the form of message boards. I have never seen so much randomness in one place. Maybe I can make myself at home in one.
