new obsessions and more books

Hi.
I just took this

Oh hai spring

Well it's been a month. My interview went well. I've been accepted to 3 out 4 schools and am still waiting to hear back from the last one. I'm looking for a job and hopefully getting my permit soon.
It was my sister's birthday recently and everyone got her Batman stuff.
I finished The Hunger Games series and cried like a baby. ABC Family released new Deathly Hallows stuff and it was very exciting.
I started Veronica Mars last week and we're on disc 2 of season 1 right now. I'm really starting to like it. Sherri and I think it's Lily's mom who killed her. :O
I have homework and no cable in my room so I'm going to watch Angel or Firefly of X2 on dvd. Super lame. I've been really tired lately and less hungry. Maybe it's the change of seasons. Who knows?

I was really disappointed about who they cast as Katniss for the hunger games movie. I'm sure her acting's fine; she just doesn't look like Katniss to me. I'm sure I'll get over it.

I finished The Cape and was sad to see it go. I ship Vince and Orwell quite a lot. It sucks because no one stuck with the show long enough for it to get good (which was in the last 4 episodes). Le sigh.

Hmm. I don't think much else has happened. I'll try to blog more. I've been busy. I don't know how an entire month passed by. It's spring now! Except it might snow tomorrow night and we might even get our 8th snow day, which means we'll get a day taken from April Break. But screw it, I'm not going in ONE day during break. That'd be super lame.
I'm trying to get really good grades so I can skip finals and take my vacation in Cape Cod. Hopefully it all works out.

Alright, I'm going going going gone.
PEACE!

Winter Blues

Siiigh. I have an interview for college in 15 minutes so this needs to be quick.
Haven't posted recently due to feeling quite lazy. February is a sucky month. But luckily it's almost over. In recent news, I actually really like The Cape and am dying for next week's episode. (Serious cliffhanger was serious).
Also we're up to 7 snow days, but today it's 55 degrees so I'm not complaining...much.
Okay I'm jittery and nervous about my interview so that's all I really have any time for. Midterms went well, I ran a mile in gym on Monday in 9.5 minutes. Wooo.

Currently reading:
Percy Jackson Book 1 (not sure about author, too nervous to go check).

And I bought the last two Hunger Games books and plan on reading them hopefully by next week.

Love to all. Byyeyeyyeyeye

Really, Nature?

As of this moment I have had 5 snow days, 2 delays, and 2 early dismissals due to snow. It's supposed to snow two more times this week. That could mean 7 snow days. In a way that's awesome but mostly it means we won't have a spring break. ARGH.

Also, my family and I have been meaning to go sledding, but literally every single store we went to in order to buy sleds has been sold out. How unfortunate.

Tomorrow I take my last 2 midterms for high school ever. AP Psych and PreCal, which hopefully won't be very difficult. I also have a sort of exam for spanish...which I am not looking forward to at all.

In other news I started reading a book called This Lullaby by Sarah Dessen. I'm almost done and I really like it. But I'm honestly more interested in Remy's friend than her relationship with Dexter (which I know ends well because I've already read Just Listen and they have a little cameo in it).
And I bought The Hunger Games so I'll be starting that probably by the end of the week.

So I don't know about filling that whole poster with drawings. Maybe I can do it. But here's another idea/resolution/goal/whatever you want to call it.
I'm going to read as many books as I can this year. Let's say the least amount of books read by December 31st is 40? 40 is good. At least 40 books by the end of the year. I can do it.

Okay. I need to go take a nap. We had presentations on our Shakespeare plays (mine was Othello) and I got no sleep last night and was nervous all day so I need to sleeeeeeep.

So, BYAHAHUEHYUEYYEYYEEYEYEEEE.
ps. anyone hear that new linkin park song? waiting for the end, i believe. it's surprisingly good.

Snow day...AGAIN

We had ANOTHER snow day yesterday. That's 3 in one week. And today we had a delay.
Since it's my senior year I don't actually mind having to make the days up later in June.

In other news, I've officially sent in my applications for all 4 colleges I intend on applying to (though I might apply to more depending on my financial situation). 3/4 have replied to my emails saying they accept official school reports of SAT scores which is awesome, because doing it through college board would cost $10 per request. Boooo. So, YAY, I'm almost done with the whole college thing.

Also, I have to play timpani in percussion ensemble, which I totally suck at. I guess we'll see how that goes.

OOOOH ALSO It's Buffy's 30th birthday today according to whedonesque. :)

Anyway, I should go. I have to clean my room so some people can come look at the house tomorrow. I really do not want to move but I don't exactly have a choice. :(

Aghh. Alright, that's it. :P
BAHHHYYYEEEE!

SUDDEN INSPIRATION

I often complain about wanting to draw or write something but having no idea what. That's usually what keeps me from actually doing it.
Anyway, about a year ago my dad's girlfriend Louise brought home a somewhat wrinkled GIANT roll of paper from where she works. The fact that it got wrinkled made it so they couldn't use it, so she gave it to me.

So I just decided that by December 31st, 2011, I will fill the whole thing.

I'm hoping it goes well. It won't be just pictures; I'll write stuff on it, have people add their own drawings, etc. I sort of wish I thought of this at the very beginning of 2011, but it's only been a couple weeks.

Better late than never!!
BYEBOYS

Christmas

Well Christmas was quite nice. I got a lovely home made purse from Louise and various treats in said purse, such as gum and an iTunes giftcard (which I used to buy an album by One Night Only and some Harry Potter score).
I got the book Firefly: Still Flying from Sherri, and Eclipse from Susie (even though we bought that a few weeks ago).
Then we went to my mom's and I got Kyle XY seasons 2 and 3, The Tales of Beedle the Bard by JK Rowling, Lissie's album Catching a Tiger, pajamas, The Time Traveler's Wife on dvd, and a sweater that I unfortunately already own.
Dave gave us each a card addressed to his "sons" haha. It's an inside joke in my family to call each other boys, so Dave got us cards saying how "now you've grown into a fine young man". It was hilarious.
It didn't snow until yesterday but I don't mind. I've spent yesterday and today basically either playing Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 or watching Kyle XY. I actually decided to shovel the patio out back just so I could get sunlight for an hour.
Maybe I'll actually get something done this week? (Probably not).
But I've been thinking since I've been watching so much Kyle XY. I first started the show when I was in middle school and it ended around halfway through my junior year. I used to think they portrayed teens so horribly, but now it's like whoaaaa. Especially Lori Trager. I hated her the most because I thought she was so unrealistic. But now she's like my favorite because she is exactly like me. It's scary. Sarcastic and witty, oh my God, the writers actually know what they're talking about.
My biggest complaint used to be about how "no teen would say the word 'barfatorium'" (which lori trager did) and now, since I've complained about the word so much, it HAS BECOME PART OF MY VOCABULARY. I use it in sentences. What is my life?!

Anyway, strange rant over. I now go back to reading hayleyghoover's hilarious blog and hope that i can someday write like her. :)
Ps. Sarah finished Rebel Angels today and she started The Sweet Far Thing and I can't wait to talk about the stuff I've been holding in my brain since June.
That's all.
See you in 2011!
