-Not to be lame and advertising-ey -But speaking of old, bygone stories.... Net-Wars-You guys might want to brush up on it -Especially Snicket-Face, as she wasn't here when I first posted it -Just thought you might want to re-read it -Not some hidden advertising campaign to promote any possible sequels I may be currently writing -Which heavily features Snicket-Face, which is why she should read it -Yeah, just a random bit of nostalgia is all -*coughjustreaditanddon'taskquestionscough*

-You wouldnae have some ulterior motives to posting that link, would you, PJ? -Gosh, it's just gotten very sunny here. -Which means I'll be very hot on the way back to school. -If there was a road straight from my house to my school, it would be about a five-minute walk. -If they opened the gate at the bottom end, it would be a ten-minute walk. -But instead, I have to spend fifteen minutes walking around zig-zagging paths. -Well, depending which way I go. -One way is like three sides of a rectangle, and the other is zig-zagging paths. -Especially if the gate is open. -Which it's not. -I've heard that they've put "anti-climbing paint" on that gate. -Whatever that is. -Slippery or really dirty stuff, I'd guess. -Anyway, I have some homework questions on a chapter in my really boring set text, Waterland. -We're behind - we were meant to start Chapter Eight today, but we haven't. -And we're probably behind anyway. -Although, to be fair, we have read a sixth of the book. -I'll give my teacher the benefit of the doubt, for now. -Which reminds me. -Me: *heavy sigh* Miss B.: What's wrong, D.? It sounds like you have the weight of the world on your shoulders. *chuckles at an inappropriate moment* Me: I'm just... tired. Narrator: But what Dante was really tired of was Graham Swift's dull and monotonous novel. -There wasn't really a narrator, but there should have been. -Anyway, I'll probably have to leave again soon. -*checks* -If "soon" is twenty minutes from now. -Or thereabouts. -At least I won't be doing much in Maths. -Mainly going over the rest of our test, I think.

-Ah, another completely harmless link to a story with absolutely no ulterior motives. -Net Wars. Was that the one where PJ turned evil and fought a lot of lightsaber battles with Dave? -That was the first story from Chaotic Creativity that I read. -I don't think I ever commented on it, though. -Mostly because I wasn't in it. -Hmm. -We were reading short stories by Ernest Hemingway in my english class today, then doing "learning projects". -I wish the teacher wouldn't treat us like five-year-olds. -I decided I don't like Ernest Hemingway after reading his stories. -The characters said the exact same thing about 5 or 6 times, and it got really annoying. -The other class got to read the Telltale Heart. -I wish we could have read it too. -Poe is so much better.

-Pandora loves Poe. -Once she went to a play with his works and in the middle of it a corpse fell down into the audience and fell right into her lap. -It sufficiently creeped her out. I'm having a good day. Possibly because I had the free that is the reason I come to school on Tuesdays today. Because today is a Tuesday. I know that seems very obvious. At tech last week a character was like "She died on Tuesday" and Anna said "Todays Tuesday!" and I started laughing even though I had no idea what she was talking about. I never actually know which day it was. And all my stories right now are so entwined with my life and the people around me that I can't explain them so that anyone would get the joke. Which is probably why I like talking to people in this school so much suddenly, because they all know what I'm talking about. So today in my Free of Awesome, the teacher was like "who wants to walk the balance beam" and he tried to get us to walk on his back. I couldn't decide if that would be weird or not but I didn't because I realized how un-coordinated and how much I shouldn't be doing un-authorized cryopract..ing when I knocked over his trashcan and almost jammed my backpack into him when I tried to get up. I faintly remember freaking out when I tried to stand on Rachel's back. Damn my small stature that makes everyone think I'd make a good replacement for those little Asian women that actually know how to do the standing on backs. I actually like my small stature. It somewhat snowed. I want more snow. So school will be canceled and I can play in it with B.B in a 24 minutes when school closes for the day. She'd never seen snow before.

-I loved the parody of HP in MAD. -And the ASOUE parody was good too. -I find MAD amusing, especially the parodies of movies/books I like. -They usually deserve it, too. -ASOUE pisses me off, but I like it. -When I say "piss me off," I mean the stuff that MAD makes fun of it for. -Like the way he writes twenty (longish) sentences in one paragraph. -But they're good. -And mysterious. -Well, no [shoot]. Otherwise I wouldn't be here. -Ruby dissed Kyle. -*sob* -Well, I guess she would know him better than me. -But still. -She's mean. -But I like her. -I'm fickle. -I'll go away now.

-I've finished reading Net Wars -I couldn't really read it straight through, as my eyes would get heavy and I'd get even more tired than I was originally -It was good though. -I had "The Chicken" for dinner -It's Tyson buffalo style chicken , and is very tasty -There is currently a pile of tissues next to me -I'm about to upload some pictures off of my digital camera from my trip to Florida -I suppose I could post the few that I have -Most of them are on my moms camera -Her's is better than mine -*is jealous* -I'm just going to post one now, as J. (brother) needs the computer -I took this out of the car window and it came out pretty good

-That's a cool picture, SnicketFace. -Anyway, what have I been doing with my days? -Not much. -Well, not yesterday. -I had to go shopping immediately after school today, though. -The things we needed included theatre tickets, a soap dish, and books. -I was glad to see that my local Waterstones was giving TPP quite some importance. -Or at least, more than others. -It didn't have any stands, but they had a bunch of special offers for aSoUE, TPP was on a bunch of different shelves and stacks, and there was an enormous pile of all the aSoUE books arranged by one wall. -There must have been over a hundred TPPs in that pile. -Anyway, I'm home now. -I have quite a bit of English homework to do, but I almost half-completed it in class. -I intend to work at it relatively slowly over a few days - I certainly don't intend to do much more today - rather than doing it all at the same time. -I have to analyse four stanzas of a poem in detail. -I've done one, and I've almost completed a second. -So I think I'll do another one tomorrow, and then another one on Friday or Saturday, depending on how much homework I get on Friday (or Thursday). -I like to make schedules for myself on stuff like this. -Oh, and I'm also going to a lecture tomorrow evening. -Hopefully, it will be interesting. -And I got a couple of books in the mail that I'd been waiting for, and I'll start reading them soon. -It's been a while since I've had anything I could read at school, and it will be nice to fill the breaks.

-Thanks, I thought so too -I'm still sick -I went to school today though -I've just been told I was called to babysit on Saturday from 1:30 to 10 -YIKES -That sure is a long time -I need the money though, as Christmas is coming up and I have to buy presents for two people -My friends and I decided that instead of buying a present for each one, that we'd put our names in a hat and choose one -I got my friend Jess (this is one of the people) -The other person is Andrew -I haven't the slightest idea what to get Jess, but Andrew should be easy -It's snowing right now, first time this fall (winter?) -Which means it's only going to get colder -Meh... -I have to vacuum -And do English and Physical Science homework -*cough* -I feel slightly better than yesterday -My ears are popping... -How bothersome

-Yeah, the day after HBP comes out, my dad goes into the A&P and there's this box full of HBPs and I don't have one or any plans to have one, so in his shopping bags there's HBP, really randomly. -That was a long sentence. -I just felt like saying that. -Hey guess what! -I'm gonna brag. -I'm going to Florida in February. -And then again in April. -And THEN I'm going to London in June. -The day school gets out. -Awesome, right? -Thought so. -I hate the word awesome.

-I'm making my christmas list so my mom know's what to get me. -It's mostly books but there's some other stuff. -I've got The Basic Eight on it and I decided to see what the price was on Amazon.ca and it said it was 108$. -Silly people. -I wonder how that happened. -I'd add Red Eye, but that movie doesn't come out on DVD until January 10th. -I love that movie. -Oh, well, I'll just rent it. -I got my report card today. -My average is 78%. -I totaly didn't expect that. -My best mark is 80% for french which is good because I thought I got way less. -Tomorrow are parent-teacher interviews so I get out at 1:30 instead of 3:05. -My mom is going to pick me up at school. -I'm thinking of dressing up as something for when I see the Harry Potter movie. -Probably just a ravenclaw. -That means I'll just have to find a tie and/or scarf with ravenclaw colours. -I think I'll probably go with the movie colours because they might be easier to find. -Then again, I'm going on friday, so I probably won't have enough time. -I'll still look for costume things after the movie come out though, to save for when I get the last book at a midnight thing. -My parents are watching Fahrenheit 9/11. -I guess I'll watch it too.

-Since this is a random fact thread, here's a fact that's not so random: -If you google 667, you'll find a Wikipedia on it. Interesting, no? I didn't know it was so specified.

-My local bookstores have big ASoUE displays. -I remember there being a UA display at Borders, but that was some time ago. -There was also a cardboard cut-out of Olaf that talked when you walked past it. -In Spanish class we watched a music video some students made with a Spanish song. -We listen to Spanish songs in that class, to practice understanding spoken Spanish words. -I've been making good progress on my photography assignment. -Yesterday I took a lot of pictures around the house, including a couple of my family. -I also got a picture of a nice little carved dragon I have, and some things in the backyard. -Today, I photographed one of my teachers. -I'll probably take more pictures this afternoon. -Speaking of pictures, that one you took is cool indeed, SnicketFace.

He took a weeks vacation to forget her, his girlfriend took a weeks worth of vallium and slept. I love this song so much, I'm not sure why. I'm not even in an emo state of mind.. I don't think I've ever really been in an serious emo state of mind. I can compare to my friend who is the most dramatic "emo" girl I now know, I'd almost find it funny considering how much she hates the emo music genre and how well she now fits into it. I didn't meant to talk about her. I was going to say that my wonderful friend.. oh is early and here. Lost.

-LOST just finished. -Man , it was good. -Just had to see Shannon die again. -Sayid's gonna be so mad at Ana. -I love that show. -I watched the begining of CSI: NY to see the person die. -How he died reminded me of the preview of Saw 2. -Where the guy looks in the peep hole and gets shot in the eye with a gun. -Anyway, it was also cool because the was Franz Ferdinand playing in the backround. -I should do my homework.
