TESTS
Guys, you'll totally still love me if I fail my first test ever, won't you? Even if it's a 40% math test? Right? It's a single test. I'm not even going to do math next year. If I fail I fail, and, as it's the day before, there's no way I can teach myself a term's worth of work in one night and study for history. Right?
(The only other thing I have ( Read more... )
What are you guys even studying in History?

History is WWI and the Russian Revolution. Interesting stuff, definitely, but also a lot to cram into my brain. Plus I'm never sure what's actually relevant for history tests, you know?

Neither am I, frankly. I remember totally panicking in eighth grade when, after a year of History, someone asked what was on the test, and Mrs. Lewis did her scary voice, and went, "Everything is on the test."

I know! It's ridiculous! There's so much crap. And we're going to have a freaking map question, which is ridiculous, because I know for a fact I still have trouble with the countries in Europe. (There's a lot of tiny ones, okay?) Or a map of the Western Front! It was in France...Oh my god, I'm doomed.

I hate map questions with a burning passion. Remember, Italy lost, because they were cruel to Sicily. By kicking it. (That's honestly how I remembered it for mine.)

Italy lost because they were cruel to Sicily. By kicking it. Wow, your history is the best. History books occasionally crack me up. We have one on the Russian Revolution, and the first sentence is "Russia is very, very big."

My history involves explaining WWII in a really chatty way ten minutes before my exam because I've had caffeine. My classmates were in hysterics. Russia is very, very big. Like Ray Toro.
(Also, you're on, go get AIM! We are having epic chat, and you would highly appreciate it.)

When I study for history, I tend to just talk in colloqualisms. "So Germany was really pissed off, right, because that shit is seriously not cool, and then there was this whole shebang..." etc. And yes, I know that Russia is very big, but it's still a funny way of starting a history textbook.
(Speaking of funny textbooks, there was this 3-part question in math a little while ago that was about a skydiving agency. The first question was to write a formula detailing the cost per jump, second question was to say how many jumps this girl could get if she had a certain amount of money, and then the third part was "Why would you want to jump out of a plane anyway?" I kid you not. When was the last time your math textbook was funny? Especially since the answer was "This is open to question.)
Well, I'm no longer on. Should I really get AIM? How does it work, exactly? (Dumb question, but you know.)

Dude, that's basically what I do. I personify them, and at one point, Hitler was pissed, because of the shit going down in the west, so he got his own friends. Basically, they all sound very very gay.
(Argh, why aren't my textbooks that funny? The funniest thing I remember about Math is when we were doing that competition, and I finally said the answer to one of the questions was C, because it was 42, and that was the answer to life, the universe and everything. Then Anushka went, "But what if it isn't the answer to Math?", and you were so drugged up on cold medicine you just hummed So Long and Thanks For All the Fish.)
If you search AIM 6 on google, you can download it. It's a pretty good system, better than MSN imo. (gtalk's still the best, though) You can friend people, but they don't have to friend you back, and you can have ridiculously large chats. It's basically just a messenger system, but most of bandom is on it.

Yeah, they do sound a little gay. "So France was all pissed that Germany had stolen it's favourite pair of shoes, right, because that shit is just not on, so they were like "Bring it bitch!" and things just escalated from there."
(I had completely forgotten about that! But I remember the look on Anushka's face. Poor Anushka. She never understood us.)
Oh, well, if most of bandom is on it...

Shoes! And of course, the Sudetenland is Czechoslovakia's hair.
(She never did. But she finally figured out who Winston Churchhill was, at least.)
:D

Shoes = Alsace and Lorraine. And yes, naturally.*nods like I have any idea whatyou're talking about.*
(Poor Anushka - she never understood us.)

(I think there are a lot of people who have never understood us.)

(This is true. Speaing of not understanding - I'm getting an e-mail about lyrics, and yet, I am somewhat confused...?)
Reply
(Oh, about that. Do you write lyrics? Like, just stuff you jot down, random shit? Because I knew Brii did, and Chris does too. I thought it would be awesome if we combined that in a googledoc, for working on stuff over the summer.)
(Also, while blackhotmetal is clearly a Grammar chick, who is she exactly?)
Reply
(I....don't write lyrics I show anyone. And as great an idea as that is, "for working on stuff" - is there some plan I missed the memo on? Seriously?)
