My new career ambition: To be the person who drives around and takes pictures for Google Maps Streetview. That thing is so fricking awesome. Want to go check out the 109 building in Shibuya? Google Maps! Awesomeness!
Of course, just rambling around on Google Maps isn't as good as rambling around in real life. Oh, maybe the geohash will be in-state today and I can drag Becca to one. Let's see...
Hahaha, it's near the airport. Woah, and someone else is going to it! Insanity!
Chhhh...I don't think I'll be able to convince her to let me drive there, though. It's only 15 minutes away, but...."random online coordinate adventure" seems like it might be a hard sell. Damnit, I'm sick of missing opportunities just because I'd have to convince someone to give me a ride. Gotta learn to parallel park so I can pass that test. Jeebus, it's in like, 3 days. I figured that the deadline would inspire someone to actually teach me some shit. Can't rely on anyone in the adult world.
Anyway, I eventually did end up writing college essays that I thought were pretty satisfactory. But then, everything seems pretty satisfactory when your life depends on getting it done and sending it in before midnight.
I ended up writing about The List, of all things. (For those unaware, The List is a list of female characters that meet my standards in non-suckiness. There are about five characters on it, so far. -_- )
Oh, I got an email from some guy who does the admissions interviews for Brown. I dunno, I really don't interview well. And I don't know how much information they actually give him-- is he gonna look at my transcript and be all, "WTF?" Because if he asks me about the transcript, I'm kinda in trouble. But I don't think that I really have a choice in this. I don't know how much chance I really have of getting in otherwise. And if I just ignore it, I don't look serious. Better email him back, I suppose.
Actually, I'm not even entirely positive that he's the real deal. Nothing on the website says anything about interviews. But I don't know how else anyone would know that I applied to Brown. Geez. There are only a few possible positive outcomes of this endeavor. Guess I'd better come up with some interview stuff...this probably will be the first, but not the last. Guh. I'd better get in SOMEWHERE. I mean, there's always Temple Japan...
Muhahahaha, Cousin Max finally got off his butt and bought a copy of TWEWY.
Now I need to get off my butt and buy Rock Band 2. Or maybe that track pack. Or maybe pre-order the Sims 3. It's gonna be a big seller...they pre-order PC games, right? Man, there are so many good games out there, and so little time! Oh, and I guess I should get that new Animal Crossing. I'll pay for Jessica's half as a birthday present to her...but then, should she pay for my half as a birthday present to me? That'd just be roundabout....
Being on a "normal" sleep schedule is weird to me. Oh, it snowed...
It's gonna be WEIRD to turn 18.
Weird stuff is happening.
These are the days that I've been looking forward to for so long. THE January.
College applications. 18th birthday. The inauguration.
We spend a lot of our lives waiting...
the future
