just because we use cheats doesn't mean we're not smart
I woke up this morning inexplicably full of RAGE, but those feelings thankfully subsided before I got to school. There was no banging of heads against trees and howling.
One of the downsides of listening to geek!music is that for some reason the songs always pop into your head at the most random times. Yesterday "Auron's Theme" from FFX was constantly playing in my head, and today "Missing You" from KHII randomly came into my head during lunch. Then, during my Latin test, there was the inevitable chorus of "One-Winged Angel," and it's very hard to concentrate on giving synopses of subjunctives when "VENI, VENI, VENIAS, NE ME MORI FACIAS" is blasting through your brain. (It's even worse when you're just innocently walking down the hallway and it pops into your head. Talk about ominous.) This is why I mainly listen to my iPod now, though because my current playlist is the Juno soundtrack, The Beatles, and Death Cab for Cutie, this only results in those songs getting stuck in my head. But at least it's not geek!music.
Also? I think Perrin is increasingly turning into a male version of myself. I don't know whether this is a good thing or not. It's good because I really enjoy writing him, but it's bad because it's almost self-insertion, which is a sign of Mary-Suedom. But I don't think he qualifies as a Mary-Sue; not many of my characters do, as far as I know, because whenever I subject them to Mary-Sue tests for fun, they always get ridiculously low scores. But one way that Perrin does differ from me as that he seems to display his RAGE a bit more often. I also don't think he fears failure as much. But other than that? Pretty much me in male form, except he's a lot less quirky and not as prone to fits of GLEE!
(Oh, and speaking of glee: I was incredibly gleeful for the first three periods of yesterday, following the return of my English essay. I probably would have been skipping down the halls had they not been so ridiculously crowded. But then I failed to complete biology homework, so my glee went away fast. It was sad.)
