I need to grow some balls; I am too easily pressured into updating this.
"Isn't it pretty to think so?" - The Sun Also Rises
One exam left (Chemistry) and then this badly-designed and poorly-thought out experiment known as my high school career can come to an end. It's pretty safe to say that I dislike the person I have become immensely. It will take weeks of laziness to overcome this practically insatiable drive to study my ass off for some number that has an 80% chance of rounding down to zero. Fucking mathematics and its rounding rules.
I plan to do the following after AP exams and associated madness are through:
-watch the entire extended edition trilogy of LOTR one after the other with my sister
-take up running again, to hone my physique so that the ladies won't be able to get enough
-never write an analytical essay on fucking English literature, ever. ( <--that deserves a full stop)
-write that inevitable speech
-read some books for pleasure, delighting only in the pure sensory experience of the moment with the knowledge that if I don't know what a word means, I can just skip it
-gain at least 10 lbs by eating butter and chocolate. And meats. I make my own meats. (This one contradicts #2, but suck it.)
God, I hate it when people say that television is all rigged, set up, or whatever. Of course, it probably is. But there is no reason why you have to disturb me in my moment of escape from the real world to watch a crazy black woman (i.e., Ophah) take off her shoes and run babbling around onstage. She is playing a special version of Deal or No Deal in which a prize of up to $100,000 goes to an audience member. Thus, it is the best combination imaginable: Oprah Winfrey and a bunch of other nice-looking ladies who are holding large amounts of cash. She plays. It is between $75,000 and $5,000. "It's all staged," says my dad. "They wanted to up the tension so that she would be able to choose at the last moment the $75,000 case by refusing her last deal."
She opens her case. It's $5000.
Tell me that some dreams don't come true after listening to such an oddly heartwarming story. Just try.
