I have been sick for ages. No seriously, it's been like two weeks. I finally went to the doctor for it on Monday, and got some meds. They've helped, and I'm mostly better now. I can breathe again. I just have a bit of congestion left, and some gunk in my lungs I still need to hack up.

I thought I was able to smell again, so I joyfully tried out my ( Read more... )

I am going to trying my DAMNDEST to get to a protest today! It will be during afternoon classes, so I'll have to skip, but the cause is worth it! Have convinced Rachel to come too ( Read more... )

At lunch today, I was walking along the outside of the school building to get to the door that leads into the hall that the library is in. I was daydreaming, and then suddenly, when I turned a corner, a pair of wide yellow eyes were staring at me. I caught my breath, freezing, and then said as my heart broke, "Oh." It was a little marmalade kitten ( Read more... )

Yesterday was the Day of Silence, in support of the LGBT community and in remembrance of those who have been killed because of their sexuality/gender identity. Those participating did not speak for the whole day, symbolic for those who cannot speak because of prejudice and fear for their lives, or because they have been killed.

I forgot that ( Read more... )

Is anyone else really looking forward to seeing "Baby Mama" after it comes out tomorrow? [I'll probably be going to see it on Sunday.] We were discussing it in English class today, and there's a surprising amount of other people who also thought the commercials looked hilarious. Also, speaking of movies? The "Prince Caspian" trailer? Shiny! That ( Read more... )

Okay, so I have a couple click-worthy links for you tonight, along with an invitation.. A "birthday party" invitation of sorts.. But we'll get to that in time.

First, I wanted to provide a link to the South Park episode about Scientology, written after the voice of "Chef" [who was a Scientologist] left the show. Very soon after the episode aired, ( Read more... )

I have marked my calendar for two protests, in the hopes of being able to make it to them. I don't know if it will be possible, though - transportation and timing presents a problem for me.

The first protest is March 15th, and it's worldwide - another movement put together by Anonymous to raise awareness about the scam and utter bullcrap that is ( Read more... )

I wore my Slytherin shirt today and, as always, was feeling pretty badass because of it. At the end of third hour English, a bunch of us were milling about at the door, waiting for the bell to ring for us to go to lunch. I was there, as was The Italian. He was talking to some other people, and I was pretty much just chilling by myself. I happened ( Read more... )

Argh! I hate when authors forbid fanfiction to be written of their stories.. I mean, if I ever get published, and if my books get popular enough that people want to write fanfiction, I would consider it an honor. It means the reader wants to spend more time in your world, with your characters. It means your writing connected to them that much.

In ( Read more... )

Argh, I'm exhausted! I just spent two hours at an ACT prep class, enduring cramps the entire time. Not. Fun. And I have two more such classes to take, one tomorrow and one the day after. Today's class covered the English portion of the ACT, tomorrow's will cover math, and the next day is science. Most of the stuff today I already knew, but I'll ( Read more... )
