Plans Always Fail

I just realized that I hadn't updated my sidebar in a couple journals. It should be mostly up-to-date now, I think. I always have some miscellaneous projects on my hands, though, that aren't worth mentioning because ... I forgot about them or something. Or they're just tiny and unimportant.

First of all, my wireless assistant is back. It took my father a couple days, be he figured it out for me. ^^ One of the only problems on my laptop that I haven't been able to figure out by myself. Although, as soon as my Norton expires, I'll have days where I can't get online because I'm battling viruses. I get rid of them all, but it's an ongoing fight. Not exactly looking forward to that. I have about a couple more months before that happens, though.

So I'm back, if y'all haven't noticed already.

I brought one of my rabbits into the house a few days ago. It's Cashmere, my booted castor buddy I've had for a little over two years now.

You know what they say about rooming with your best friend? You won't be able to get along with them after a while because of all the annoying things they do or something? Cashmere kind of turned out to be the annoying roommate.

He's adorable, that's for sure, but he's a little ass. If he doesn't get his food in time, he bites. One morning I brought him upstairs, and not only did he bite my little brother, but he bit me in the leg as well. He tries biting me when I get his food in the cage. That habit must end. Or I will hurt him. I don't stand up for that shit.

I also need to clean out his cage. Now. But I'm all lazy.

I did get my German homework done before night fell, though. Call it amazing, because it is. Now I have my Calc homework, Psych project, and PopLit work to do.

I'm reading The Lovely Bones in PopLit for partner read. So far, I'm not amused by the book at all. Not only is it written in first-person point of view (a view I'm not overly fond of), but the mystery was gone from the very beginning. What kind of crime-related novel gives away the secret within the first chapter? The author writes things in ways that confuses me, and none of it even matters.

My partner, he keeps telling me that I should give the book a chance. I'm over a hundred pages into it and I'm still not enjoying it in the least bit. I think I've given the damn thing a chance.

While other people may tell you otherwise, don't read it. It's definitely not recommended.

I'll stick to my writing role models: ~demonsweat and Brandon Sanderson. One of which I can actually talk to, too! I love demonsweat.

On top of school, I think I also have a regular work schedule now. I dunno. I've had pretty much the same schedule two weeks in a row. I didn't know such a thing happened at Classic. I work five o'clock to whenever, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. How the hell am I supposed to have a social life with that schedule? I can't go over to friends' houses for the night, nor can I have them over, because I don't normally get home until about nine o'clock. And we can't hang out for the afternoon, either, since five o'clock is, like, prime time. Work is hilarious and all, since nearly everyone there is a crackhead idiot, but I kind of want to see my friends sometimes. I want to watch Dexter with Emily and Caitlin at some point, but I don't see it happening any time soon. Bleh.

At least I don't see myself getting all depressed-like again. That scared me last time, man. It was a bad little period there.

Now I need to focus on Calculus and German so that Frau Z doesn't chase after me and say how terrible of a student I have become and so that I don't fail Calc. I'm getting close with all the missing assignments I have.

Not to mention that I failed my first real test ever. I haven't failed a test before. I get either C's or above. I don't ever FAIL tests. Yet, here was my last test, with, like, 50% almost on the nose. My parents are going to chew me out when they find out. And then the whole process will probably start again. I don't like getting confronted with that shit because I already know and I don't need anyone to get in my face and tell me that I'm slipping up. Telling me you're disappointed in me doesn't make me strive for better, but the opposite. My self-resolve does that before you whack it all to hell with your pity or whatever. Don't do it.

I learned how to cope with things myself. Other people trying to help me through it, or doing the opposite, disrupts that process and makes things worse.

Verstehen? Good.

On another note, I sure hope this SOPA/PIPA bill thing doesn't pass. Because, well, once again, we're helping the high and mighty businesses that don't need any more money because they give our jobs overseas and because it's not even going to help what they set out to do. And, well, I have personal reasons. Not to mention that I probably won't be able to go on dA anymore nor will I be able to finish that X-Men chat RPG site that I seriously want to bring to life.

Golly, I really need to start working on that project.

Speaking of projects, see that dragon biology thing? Aw, if that turns out how I want it to, it will be frickin' amazing. I hope to get the skeletal structure, muscular structure, possibly some physiology as well, genetics, and other specifics all compiled into this book-like thing. I'll focus on some specific areas, such as the face, the paws, probably the wings, and just go on a geeky spree. I'll work on a reproduction section (as well as genetics) and ... probably a couple different types of dragons: my western dragons, as well as a wyvern, most likely.

The idea of it excites me. You have no idea. I might even have to ask for collaborations or commission specific people. Which probably means I'm going to have to gather some more points than I already have. But I'll try working on it by myself first.

Well, I think that's about it. I need to get some HA-RPG stuff done, too, though. As well as finish Lila and Fallen Apart.
