More art for an English assignment.

( but break, my heart, for I must hold my tongue )

I have realized that in order to enjoy Shakespeare, I just have to focus on how gay it is.
So what's your favorite play? Who's your favorite character? Did you find Prince Hamlet charming or irritating?

Yes, Jude Law, you do look dashing in your suspenders, especially with the jaunty hat to cover your receding hairline. (I'd still hit it.)

I started reading the stories in preparation for the movie, and after seeing it, I'm quite determined to finish the canon before going back to school. Sherlock Holmes, you have absolutely captured my heart with your social ineptitude and your douchebaggery.

Do go see the movie! It would make me very happy (especially if you saw this instead of going to see the monstrosity that was Avatar).

SO THIS YEAR I AM PRESIDENT OF THE ANIME CLUB, somehow. On Friday we are showing Host Club (a rare shoujo occasion, indeed!), but I'm kind of scared that the people who don't know that Haruhi has two (fictional) X chromosomes will leave in the middle of the first episode. Well, if they weren't scared off by the bloodbath that was Devil May Cry, I think they can stand this gayfest.

And another rare occasion: I have art to share! We read Oedipus in English (which was AMAZING, by the way, and if any of you haven't read it yet, do!), and we had a free choice project. Of course, I went and drew a comic. I haven't done any sort of graphic novelization in years, and the reason will probably become evident when you view my efforts. Regardless!


( oh, the drama! )

Oh, and, now I feel like CGing, but my aunt and uncle have decided that their 4-year-old daughter is quite artistically gifted, and thus have elected to borrow my tablet so that she may test it out before they buy her one of her very own, even though they contribute nothing to my grandparents' mortgage! Priorities: I'm glad my family has them.

Sophomores and Juniors have PSAT day tomorrow, and I get to stay at home and be antisocial (a favorite activity of mine). I was previously asked to give them a pep talk/advice during a how-to-ace-the-PSAT Saturday session, but I told my teacher that all I did was stay up late the night before, refuse to study, and blow through the test as quickly as possible. I did not end up attending the Saturday session.

WELL, I got out of school at the end of May, but I'd been away from home until Tuesday! So sorry that I haven't been doing any significant amount of commenting. Because I'm sure everybody missed my exciting online presence. Stay tuned for a TL;DR and probably really boring entry about my life!

( immersion trip and vomiting )

( hawaii, books, and employment )

( and other stuff )

Now back to reading about DRAGONS ON BOATS and making blankets. Thanks for making it through this stupidity!

MOCK TRIAL! DEFENSE WON!!! WE'RE TWO FOR TWO!

the funny thing about this was that we went against a team that we had scrimmaged against a few weeks prior. They seemed a lot better when we scrimmaged against them than they did in court.

the sad thing about this is that next week we have to go against a team that, I think, won the district championship.

hello friends!

I haven't really written much at all lately, probably because jr year is slowly but consistently devouring my life. So I'm sorry that I haven't commented at all :( I'm sure I wasn't exactly missed or anything but I'll def try to keep up better.

But I have a request for any of you who have had/are having a higher education--I'm searching colleges, of course. Finding statistics for American universities is all fine and dandy, but I really want to look into stats for schools in Canada and the UK. I would really like to avoid applying somewhere that is ridiculously out of my intellectual league. Can anybody help me?

Thanks in advance!

I probably won't make it through the year but I'm doing my best xD

I will probably go back to reviewing for my APUSH FRQ now, which most likely means I'll be reading about nautical escapades. My friends and I found the cutest bookstore in downtown Palo Alto. It had a bunch of old volumes of fairytales & Arthurian legend, nicely illustrated and everything. I should like to live there.

Apparently Obama has as good as won, but I can't celebrate until I know if Prop 8 passed or not!! :(

Guys I made it onto the mock trial team!
Haha. I'm going to be a witness and learn the attorney stuff for next year :) (Look at my appropriate Novak icon!)

Uhhh otherwise nothing is happening in my life other than doing hw 24/7. Or reading comic scans.

Also this is kind of creepy but the girl who I've been sort of crushing on since freshman year is in two of my classes this year and she is actually my friend now ♥

I read Young Avengers at Borders yesterday!

So without further ado, I present ( Teddy and Billy being cute )

This is not that exciting, but I thought I'd update.

Also I'm sixteen now.

(It's been like, 12 days)

I got them out at 7:30 in the morning. I was sedated, but I kind of wish I could see what was happening. Even though it'd probably make me throw up, causing the need to pick chunks from out of my stitches. TMI? And uhh they didn't give me Vicodin, hahaha.

also for some reason pretty much the ENTIRE left side of my face was numb. They numbed my eyelid. It was an odd sensation, and not very graceful either.

AND I FINISHED THE GRAPES OF WRATH. Tomorrow I will finish Death of a Salesman, even though I meant to do that today, but ended up sleeping instead.
