I've realized that I don't use this userpic very often and now I'm wondering why that is because it's a very pretty userpic, probably one of my favorites that I've created. (Though the rainbow gradient flare is a little much, but especially when I first started using GIMP I was all LOL GRADIANT FLARE YAY!)

I'm in the mood to list things off so here ( Read more... )

HAPPY LOST SEASON FINALE DAY! =)

( cut for mini-rant about faraday's age )

Today is the first day of vacation in which I don't have to go ANYWHERE. (Unless I go downtown tonight, and I'm kind of thinking I might want to buy some more spring-like clothes this afternoon.) & then tomorrow, it's up bright and early and off to Connecticut College and my cousins' house for the weekend. (The good news? This weekend outside NYC ( Read more... )

One more day until April vacation, yay. Except first I have to survive a day with two quizzes and a test, though I suppose I should be thankful that it's not three quizzes because my chemistry quiz got pushed off until after vacation (as did my algebra quiz that I was supposed to have today, which is super-yay). Of course, this vacation isn't going ( Read more... )

GRYFFINDOR TOTALLY WINS THE HOUSE CUP AND THE TRIWIZARD TOURNAMENT!  :D

Also, I've realized that the Order of the Phoenix movie is definite snark bait, especially when Harry decides to try out his Squall Leonhart impersonation and is all "THE MORE YOU CARE ABOUT, THE MORE YOU LOSE!" & maybe I was just in a double-entendre mood, but I managed to find ( Read more... )

Proof that AP English ruins your life: During Obama's inaugeral address, I found myself rhetorically analyzing it and realizing that future generations of AP English Language students may have to analyze it too, since it's such a historical inaugeration & all. Also, I had the Barack Obama rap blasting through my head. Kinda funny, and DO NOT WANT  ( Read more... )

This is total win. I think I need to re-read Pride & Prejudice again without having to worry about doing badly on quizzes. Maybe then I'll enjoy it more. (I also want to re-read To The Lighthouse. & Brave New World, which I already re-read once this summer. Why do I have sudden Brit Lit urges? THERE ARE NO URGES!)

We have our Christmas tree up now. ( Read more... )

So today in honor of my birthday I was going to make a list of 17 Reasons Why It's Awesome To Be 17, but I could only think of ten and most of them consisted of "[insert character here] was 17 when [insert action here happened]." So yeah. (Though for the record, I'm now the same age as [1] Harry Potter when he defeated Voldemort [2] Yuna and Tidus ( Read more... )

This is the first time since Sunday that I've had time to go online that's not doing homework on my mum's computer. This week has been so GAAAH, what with lab reports and essays and research and having to stay late at school because my mum's been working. I'm so glad it's the weekend. Although Sunday is pretty much used up; I have to be a tour ( Read more... )

ZOMG THERE IS A LOST SEASON FIVE TRAILER UP. I must go down to my mum's computer to watch it, as my internet connection doesn't like to play videos. But judging from the comments over at lost_tv, it's freakin' epic.

Speaking of freakin' epic, we watched parts of The Patriot in US History today. That is an extremely gory movie, what with heads being blown ( Read more... )
