I hate Macs, and that's all Dexter Schools has. And, nearly every day at least one of my teachers has the laptops in their room and has us use them. Also (I just found out I like words that mean "in addition to"), the books that we have to carry around are getting heavier and heavier, and I'm finding most of them are actually digitalized, so it's possible to put them on the laptops. Eh--I'll come up with more reasons.
Well, I found myself in front of my own laptop on Monday night, and I wanted to write the speech, but that blasted writers block came again, and I didn't get a lick of it done. I was supposed to present today, but I only had the intro done, so I told the teacher I'd have to do it on a later date. Thankfully she's a cool teacher and she rescheduled my speech. I have a week now to write that speech, get the research done and mostly memorize it, not to mention having a visual aid. I hate English, but I love writing . . . things I'm interested in.
I cannot type today. For some reason my fingers press too hard on the keys or something, or they skip over a letter, and I have to keep backspacing. Blah.
Um . . . so over the weekend we went ice fishing since I don't remember when. We started out at a bend in a--well, I think it's a lake. Could be a short river. My dad thought that the water was five feet at its deepest, but when he found bottom with his fishing line, it turned out that the first place we fished it was like 24ft deep. After what I believe an hour, we found nothing there, so we moved on to a lake/river down a while and drilled some more holes. At first Joe kept shouting about this huge fish, oh wait it's not a fish sorta thing (forget the hyphens), and when he pulled the sucker through the hole it turned out it was a 23'' pike. Sadly, since it wasn't two feet long, we had to toss it back. Each of us also caught a blue gill, so we didn't leave empty handed. I just wish ice fishing didn't involve the cold. I hate the cold. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it.
Lesse. Xile and I--at some point, I don't remember which day--were role playing, and thankfully he brought something new to the realms in the box. It was this world that we turned into anthros that reflected our inner personalities. I, for one, have always been interested in animology or whatever it's called, and for a long time I considered myself a wolf, but lately that view in myself changed. I was talking to myself while I was taking care of the rabbits, and I was thinking I was more frog-like ('cause they're my favorite amphibian, for one), but some things didn't fit me. On the way into the house, I wondered what a bat's personality would be like.
I got onto the computer and took a quiz, and the first thing that came up was a porcupine. I read the description, but it didn't sound like me. It also spit weasel and bear out at me, but after reading those as well, they weren't me. So I took the quiz again and got--oh, what was it--a snake? as my second thing, but that wasn't me, either. The second was a bat, but there wasn't a third. I clicked on the bat, read it, and instantly decided that I'm a bat. What kind of coincidence is that?
I realize now that I make a lot--okay, not a lot--of references to bats. Like, for instance, I call my room the bat cave 'cause it's huge, only has a tiny window in one wall, and it's in the basement. No reference to everyone's favorite black knight or whatever. What do they call Bats? I mean, he's a cool character, but Flash and J'onn totally kick his butt. Even Hawkgirl.
There. I can make reference to DC characters as well as MARVEL. Oh--and Mirage! Although I don't think the TMNT are Mirage anymore. . . . Stupid Disney and Nickelodeon--they confuse me.
Uhm . . . what else did I want to say?
Okay, just an fyi for any reader(s) I have out there, the place where I figured out a bat is at: http://animalinyou.com/index.php I love it.
That's what I wanted to say!
So today the teachers passed out iFlirts or whatever, just for fun and whatnot, and I only took it because I wanted to see the characters. Half of the questions, the answers were goth or priss, but there wasn't any NERDS! I'm a full-out NERD! No one can deny it! Well, they can, but I'll just rant about something I know very well (X-Men, Zodiac Tribes, pi--three point one four one five nine two six five three five eight nine seven nine three two three eight for six two six four three three eight three--and that's all I memorized), and I can change their minds. I'd love to see who I would get hooked up with in iFlirt, but it costs money. To me, it's just for laughs.
So I had a comic book on hold, and it's been in the library for the past week, but I was waiting for a movie to come in as well. Last night it finally did, and I was so happy, and then today I just finished my last book that I got from my last visit. I just wish I had more time to draw characters from the comic book I have now. . . . It was the most hilarious book I've read so far. I mean, it had Bamfs (not B.A.M.F) and, and Kitty told a story that all the X-Men listened in on, Nightcrawler fell up into the ceiling, Banshee came back for a little while, I realized I like Piotr as a character and, and, it was just AWESOME! It even had Angel in it for a while! And the Brotherhood! And Rogue! It was amazing!
See? I'm a nerd.
Huh. Is there anything else? *thinks*
I spent two and a half hours drawing myself as a bat anthro. I'm pretty darn happy with it, and I am so glad I invested in a drawing tablet. It's made drawing so much easier, and the comic I'm working on so much faster, even though I haven't touched it for a long time. 'Sides, I have to get the previous dozen or so pages on the computer anyway, since this whole thing's gonna be digital. I wanted it to be short, but I'm not that far in the story line, and it's already a long story. I'm just wondering if I should end it with my death, like I did the first time I went to the Save the Princess realm, or if I should join the Princess and her army instead of being a so-called assassin. I could be her mage! I mean, I can shape-shift! Well, I'd need my X-Men clothes in order to do so, 'cause my clothes don't morph with me, but I could go back to my home realm and put those under my "assassin" suit. I love trench coats. . . . And I bet when I read this next, this paragraph will make no sense whatsoever.
Ohmygod! I mean, oh . . . okay, I need to work on that. Even though I reject Christianity as my religion, I still refer to a god, even when I believe in the Air, 'cause I went complete Zodiac Tribe religion. More information on it in chapter thirteen of Zodiac Tribes: Book One, which isn't done yet. Don't worry--I'm working on it!
Anyway, as I was going to say, I've been working on a RPG (not rocket-propelled grenade) with Crystal, and she's a big X-Men and TMNT fan as well, so when we went into a realm in the box, I merged the MARVEL and Mirage worlds together, so I can tick both Gambit and Raph off at the same time. But we're 30k words into it (the same amount of words as I have so far in ZT) and it's completely awesome! I just wish Angel was a part of the X-Men. Or Banshee, with his powers. And I wish I remembered why I had Gambit hate me, 'cause that RP's totally dragging down what I thought of him just a week ago. Nightie's pulled up to my favorite X-Men yet again. I wuv da blue fuzzy dude.
What n'else?
I feel like writing, but I'm not getting very far, I don't think.
I've been watching Buffy again, lately. I found the whole second season on hulu (well, sorta hulu), but I want to watch it from the beginning! The channel it's on on TV is currently in like the third or fourth season (haven't figured out where, exactly. Oz is gone, though, and there's no reference to Angel). Shtupidness. And Mr. Rafail said shtupid isn't the same as stupid. :P
*sigh* I guess I should end this. My fingers are cold, and I wanna go to the library tonight (I think I have to anyway). Even if I don't, I'll probably just reread one of the Cirque Du Freak books on my bookshelf tomorrow. I keep opening one of them to random pages and laughing. I freaking love Vancha. I just wish I could draw the Prince. *shakes head* It's funny to even hear a vampire called a Prince, but that's what ol' March is! And probably one of the most disgusting characters one will ever read about--even more than me! At least I don't spit and chew on my toenails. But don't get me wrong--he's still on my top ten favorite characters.
When was the last time I updated that list? How 'bout now.
- Vancha March from Cirque Du Freak
- Valek from Poison Study
- Frederick from the Sally Lockheart series (I still do not recommend reading past the first book if you find you like Frederick as well)
- Donatello from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
- Kurt Wagner (Nightcrawler) from the X-Men
- Thrax from Osmosis Jones
- Remy LeBeau (Gambit) from X-Men
- J'onn J'onzz (Martian Manhunter) from the Justice League
- Janco from Poison Study
- Wally West (Flash) from the Justice League
Ack. Ich liebe Deutsch. Deutsch ist mein Lieblingsfach. Ich scheibe auf Deutsch! Und Englisch . . .
And I use "ack" a lot. Hmm. Reminds me of Maus. Interesting book(s).
Now I really should end this rant-ish post and stop procrastinating. My goal of Januar and Februar--stop procrastinating and come up with some sort of organization so that I can get things done. Sadly, I don't think my little imaginary buddies will help me much with that, so I need to kick up some initiative and self-discipline. Ah . . . right. I'll get right on that. I should also add meditation and "weight-lifting" to my list of things to do every day again. Well, again to the meditation, and for the first time with the dumb bell.
Oh yay! My list of things to get shrunk again! Latch hook rug, paper (good paper), new (good) bookmark, X-Men graphic novels ('specially volume three) . . . and that's it. Shweet.
