Oops! Forgot to explain my username in that meme. Lady Aranel was my Sisterhood name back when it was really awesome to have elvish names. So when I started an LJ, it was mostly just to join the Scandals and I kept my Sisterhood identity. The Aranel is Elvish for "princess", which in Hebrew translates to Sarah, which is supposedly the long form of ( Read more... )

My LJ is subtitled "Still getting used to this...". I originally did that because I had no idea how to run an LJ since I stuck with Dland for so many years. I never bothered changing it because I still feel like I'm only getting used to life in general. I'm only now starting to understand high school, as I get ready to leave it ( Read more... )

Right, so marching band is over. Yay! I'm glad to be out of the clutches of our band director. Though you know I have to admit that I'm sad it's over, being a senior and all. I'm not really getting in to the whole nostalgia yet, though. I'm saving that for the real end of the year ( Read more... )

It's pretty sad when I cry over a Toys'R'Us commercial. You know the one, with the little kids and their toys and the lady talking about joy. Pretty.

It's like when Toy Story 2 came out and Sarah McLachlan sang "When She Loved Me". I bawled my little eyes out.

Right, so there's that boy in a few of my classes. He's a complete jock, but he's also a big nerd. He's an overachiever and a genius and can tell you anything you want to know about LOTR and HP. Plus he's cute. And he loves Calvin and Hobbes ( Read more... )

Bahahaha.

Man, I hate Wal-Mart. I volunteered for the Salvation Army today to ring the bell, and they cancelled us! They said they've been getting complaints. Apparently people don't like feeling guilty when they don't donate a few pennies. Those selfish brats.

Boycott!

Ah ( Read more... )

I meant to write a journal entry this afternoon that looked like this:

I'm so tired of going to bed early. I'm so tired of sleeping in late. I'm tired of taking naps in the afternoon, and I'm tired of yawning during every single class. I'm tired of falling asleep in the middle of doing homework and never getting it finished. I'm tired of letting ( Read more... )

Anyone else seen The Incredibles? My childhood fell in love with it. I even got those butterfly moments - from a cartoon! So cool. Must go see again. (Loved the explosions - and that red-haired kid reminds me so much of the one from Miss Congeniality!)

Got accepted to Penn State! Whoo, am 2 for 2 now. And I finally submitted my common application online, finishing my last four colleges. All I need now is the countless other forms like teacher evaluations, school reports, midyear reports, guidance counselor recommendations...

Nearly there!

Today went well, for the most part. I had an alumni interview for Wellesley. It went really well. We sat together for an entire hour just talking about life in general. My interviewer was really nice and it was inspiring to hear her talk. I hope I get accepted. *crosses fingers ( Read more... )
