I should keep a valid lj. I really should. I think about it sometimes.

This week and some in sum:
Debate tournament in Chicago starting tomorrow
I don't understand calculus
or economics
at this point all British scientists should be taken outside and shot
I'm talking to you, Isaac Newton and you, Adam Smith
I seem to have a pretty good grasp on Shakespeare though
and Estonia.
My Chinese class can go to hell
so can Erik
broken finger is still broken
but with the addition of shinsplints
I've decided to write a screenplay
I've almost applied to Harvard and Yale
waiting anxiously to hear back from UChicago and Georgetown SFS.

I think I might write my senior speech on marriage
using the analogy of a time machine
badass y/n
first quarter grades rocked
except for economics....
dammit Zalk.
I love Thanksgiving
got new skis
want to learn to fondant ice a cake
Bad Romance has the coolest music video ever
I overanaylze Lady Gaga's societal implications
and may write a paper about it
and I may submit a Poland thing to our lit mag
I may publish my paper on Lithuania
for real
if I can make it not suck
I think that would be awesome. Since I'm
you know
17. And.

If you are interested in any of the above disjointed thoughts, ask questions.

Wow, actually, it's been a while. I'm definitely going to update more now– finished my last final exam yesterday! No grades yet, but surely you shall be hearing about those soon-ish. AP grades are the third week of July, and oh TRUST me you will hear about those. If they're good, there will probably be sparkles.

No, so I saw Star Trek for the second time yesterday. It's so. freaking. good. I've been working on a bit of fic (Smoke's seen it) that'll probably go up later today. Indoctrinated Erin anyways, she thought she was a proper nerd but hadn't ever seen Star Trek. What the hell. About 75% of my time now is dedicated to thinking about Star Trek though, which is probably bad. Also bad that everyone that's seen that movie with me came out, looked at me and said, "You're Bones." Literally, that was the first thing Heather said to me after the first time. But I'm okay with that.

I had my first flight lesson today! My instructor's super nice (and actually really adorable... albeit married and too old for me) and we're going up in the air tomorrow. He though I was 21 and smart, one of which is totally false and one of which is partly false, since I don't know a godddamn thing about airplanes. Twas fun though, and I'm looking forward to learning!

Thursday went to a Twins/Red Sox game with my mother, which was... interesting. Redmond, Gardenhire, Varitek, and Frankona all got thrown out in less than 20 minutes and 1 inning. Can they even *do* that? Plus, that umpire was SO biased for the Sox it was ridiculous. But cool to see and fun, even if we lost (3-1). Beckett pitched a great game.

Tonight my Euro class is havin' a party at Ms. Helbrecht-Wilson's house. It will be hilarious and fun. I believe we're playing Risk and watching WW2 movies. I'm going to make cookies, though, so I'd better get a move on and get to the store. Also, wash my car. He looks disgusting.

ETA: Helbrecht-Wilson thing is actually tomorrow, but car is washed and cookies are made. Also fic is posted.

GUYS I HAD THE BEST IDEA EVER

What if, what if, what if at the ending of Naruto, instead of, idk, defeating Akatsuki and Naruto becomine Hokage (ie the good guys win), Commodore Perry's black ships arrive in Konoha? It could be HILARIOUS.

...okay I know that was random, but.

So I've been baking a lot recently... I made Subaru cookies for my Euro class yesterday, and am going to make chocolate-caramel cookies for Robotics in like... five minutes. Awesome, am I right? And... that's what's up. Oh! And I started Neverwhere. It's really good so far... I can definitely tell that Good Omens is a truly collaborative work.

I'm- I'm alive, I promise!

I've been very absent from fandom recently, I know. And I'm really sorry. I'm not dead or anything... and all my excuses are really lame... it's just school. You guys get it. The pressure's going up because my beautiful, brilliant sister's leaving for her ivy league college soon, so my parents are like "WRAR! WORK MOAR!"I promise I'll get back on top of the ball soon.

However, the good news- I made Subaru!cookies on Friday. Also, lie cake from Portal (if any of you play) and Desu!brownies. We tried to make "A Cat is Fine too" cookies, but they didn't work out so hot. Ahaha, and none of my friends know who Subaru is, so they were like, "What cookies?" And I was like, "Shut up and bake." Except I did all the baking, because I let them make one thing by themselves (the cat cookies) and they burned them. Then they got revenge by making fun of me for having an alleged inferiority complex. Lying failures. I'll put pictures up soon!

Also, a meme.

a. Post a list of 10 fandoms.
b. Have your friends-list guess your favorite character from each one.
c. When guessed, bold the line, include the character name, and write a sentence about why you like that character.
