cheer up and dry your damp eyes, and tell me when it rains
I haven't updated in a while, and I am sincerely sorry for that. :( I just took my 2nd history quiz (apparently the first was a quiz, next a midterm, and this the last quiz), and I think I missed 2. Everybody did pretty well, so I'm not going to bank on a curve-this means that missing 2 will barely scrape an A. A 22/25 is hardly an A. Both on the last quiz and this one, I missed a question for which the answer Woolie had told me right before the quiz started. I guess I need to start being more observant :x.
Talking to Cannus has started me on that Blackberry craving again. Then again, it seems that the Blackberry doesn't support the 3G internet that, say, the Sidekick or the iPhone have. It only runs on WiFi. This wouldn't be a problem, except for the fact that I would genuinely miss the wherever, whenever internet that my Sidekick provides. This is probably why T-Mobile has upped the Sidekick plan to 55$ a month but still leaves the Blackberry at 40$. Good thing I got the Sidekick when it was only 20$ a month :x. If anyone has information on the Blackberry internet, it would be greatly appreciated :). Apparently, the unlimited-everything (internet and data) is 40$ as well, so if I were to have a hacked iPhone it'd be the same price. Actually, the T-Mobile website says that the Blackberry internet is whenever. Yeah, I confuse myself too. Um, it would probably be good for the sake of your mental health to just erase everything you read in this vein of thought.
I've begun to re-explore Owl City's old albums, and they're every bit as amazing as I remember. I'm actually paying individual attention to the songs now. I've already spread the joy to Brandon, Kevin, and Jason (Wu). How can anyone resist the magic? Actually, Edward listened to "Fireflies" and said something very derogatory. Then again, "Fireflies" admittedly isn't the most representative of Adam Young.
Every time I get a gigantic package in the mail from USC, my heart fills with warmth and joy. Okay, that's probably an exaggeration, but still. These beautifully-designed and generous pamphlets make me feel loved :) Of course, everybody else probably gets the same from his/her soon-to-be-college, but..I like feeling special. And if that means I'm going to live in my pretty little rose-colored bubble, then that's what I'm going to do.
Actually, in retrospect, from junior year to now, my bubble has become significantly less rose-colored, if it hasn't already popped. I really am not as optimistic as I used to be (reading through my Livejournal only confirms the fact), and a hell of a lot more cynical and-dare I say it-perverted corrupted. Oh, well. I like to think of the process as...maturing. :) And I guess I can still pick out the good in situations. I know I can safely say that I'm never going to be a depressed drunk anytime in my life.
I'm shocked at how fast this summer seems to be slipping through my fingers. I mean, there's less than a month until I move in to college. And although I've been very productive in comparison to most of my peers in terms of academics, I'm definitely behind on my social life. I plan to make the most of my last few weeks here in Temple City.
I have yet to reactivate my Facebook. Soon. Yes, I realize I've been saying this since school ended. I maintain: Soon.
My disgusting family of canker sores have finally disappeared (and in the cases of the largest ones, scarred over). There were originally 8 small ones, which then combined to form 2 large and 2 smaller ones. They then massed into one gigantic one. It's all gone now. If any of you guys have heard songs from Norwegian Recycling, there is one named "8 Become 1." It was created to document the story of my canker sores.
Going back to USC (yes, the sheer amount of times that college comes up in this post is indicative of how much I think about it), I was talking to Jen (Chang) about Welcome Week activities. The foam party that she was telling me about looks hilarious. I just received another bulky envelope in the mail today that explains just what goes on during Welcome Week. Which reminds me, dear God, I don't have much time left to apply for the Daily Trojan. I've wanted to since before school let out, but still haven't. Soon? :x
Anyway, I'm going to end this post here, and try to (read: find enough time between AIM and Fanfiction) update again. I'd forgotten the sheer relief of letting everything go like this. I sometimes wonder if it's a manifestation of how my brain has degenerated; if it feels cluttered with these simple facts and feels such a uplifting when I write this stuff down and purge it, what does that say about its size? Or, for that matter, its ability to retain future information? :( The future, for my brain matter at least, looks gray.
Hah. Hah. I'm pun-ny. Get it? Gray matter?
Okay, I'm really going to stop now.
and i'll blend that rainbow above you, and shoot it through your veins.
