OH MY GOD EURO AP EURO AP EURO AP I NEED TO STUDY

I'm only on, like, the freaking wars of religion. I have SO MUCH WORK TO DO

In other news, the English Civil War is like a messy divorce. See my study guide:

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 would be LOLARIOUS.

...okay I know that was really 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.

It's.. wow. Isn't it always?

I think I'll go in chronological order backwards, okay?

( End of First Semester: Cue Me Whining About Grades )

( The Inaugural )

On a final note, I am SO excited about closing Gitmo, I cannot even explain.

Finals are over. My English final was the easiest thing ever, if I get less than a "brilliant!" I shall be quite put out. So small update.

I finished Small Gods last weekend, and it was AWESOME.

So yesterday I went to the bookstore and picked up Legal Drug 3 (ahaha I love Legal Drug it's so full of badly-concealed gay), Interesting Times, and Good Omens. Then I worked on my chinese project with Michael. It's about Genghis Khan, and let me tell you, that man pwned some noobs. And he was apparently a pretty nice guy; he didn't rape, torture, or burn to the ground, and didn't let his soldiers either. And then I fell asleep last night at like eight, and woke up this morning at nine, so I feel pretty awesome.

Now I think it's time to talk about VidMo. ( Buckle your seatbelts, children )

So what if I'm a Jew, my grandmother's a Catholic. I'm doing the Christmas memes.

( Meeeemmeeeees )

So, news post. Let's see.... Halloween was fun, got to hang out in SanFran, see Art. My Sarah Palin costume was quite the success. I didn't get to see Iambic though, that was a great tragedy, but hopefully we'll arrange the same thing next year and get to.

Um... November was stressful as hell, lots of debate tournaments I did badly at, but I got a couple of funny stories out of them. We were this one really kinda illegit tournament, because most of the judges suck, and Erik, the AWESOMESAUCE AMAZING CRAZY GOOD debater on my team, that always wins first speaker, was like, "I probably got horrible speaks". So when they're giving out the Varsity LD awards, there're cute blue mittens for the 1st place speaker, which is usually him. And so I'm like, "Erik, if you win, I want your mittens," and he was like, "Fine, 'cause I'm not winning." And I was like, "Believe in me who believes in you," and he was like, "*self-deprecating laugh*" So we go through the speaker list, and then they're like "AND first speaker, from the BLAKE SCHOOL, is..." and I'm like, "OHOHO" and they're like, "ERIK!" And so he goes up is like "wow" and gets the mittens and then WON'T GIVE ME THEM. But I finally got them last week. Ohoho. And then at Glenbrooks I watched his round seven against the reigning Tournament of Champions champion. Going in he was like, "I'm going to lose I'm going to looose" and I was like, "You're gonna pwn, believe in me who believes in you" and he was like, "You always say that when I think I'm fucked," and I was like, "Yeah well you're gonna pwn." And then he was like, "PLEASE don't watch this round" and I was like, "PSHT." So he was negating, and it was literally the funniest round ever, like I've never seen a debate round so funny. In the middle of his first speech, he's responding to some argument about stigmatization when he breaks from debate-speed: "Astohisargumentaboutstigmatizationthisdoesn'treallyexistImeanwhenyou'rewalkingdownthestreetyoudon'tjuststopandgo, 'Dang, there's a felon!'" and then everyone started laughing, it was so random. And then during cross ex the aff cracked a Minnesota politics joke, but the judge and Erik didn't get it, it was just me and him laughing. Then Erik started his next speech by singing: "You know that song, "you don't know whatcha got till it's gone"' and it was very funny.

And so at the end of the round, I was like, Erik DEFINITELY won, and then the judge was like, Erik won! And I was like, "See I told you." So then the schedule comes out for doubleoctofinals, and of course Erik broke, and so we're all like, "Who's he debating?" and it's the SAME GUY, but now Erik's AFFIRMING. So he lost which was a bummer but it was still funny.

Oh so then Thanksgiving was cool. I went to Boston, saw my family, hung out with Smoke, ate food.

Oh wait what was that last one? I ate food. No no before that. Oh yeah I HUNG OUT WITH SMOKE. It was epic, because we were IMing and I was like, so you should come see me, and she was like, haha that'd be funny, and I was like, yeah I'm in Boston, and she was like WAIT I LIVE HERE and I was like, orly? I thought you lived up in P-town and she was like no. So we wandered around Harvard Square and talked for like three hours, it was awesome. Yeah.

So now it's December. The epic n00bness that occurred during December later, after I get back from correcting the epic n00bness with Erin. That girl is a SAINT.

I am FINISHED. With TWO of those DAMN APs. I swear, college board hates me specifically.

Also, I make dumb mistakes. Mixing up Truman and LBJ? Yeah. Clearly on crack. But now all that's left is to wait for grades, so I should stop stressing and move on~ And start roller blading and running again, since I swear I gained like three pounds this week. Peanut butter is my comfort food.

Also,  someone somewhere must be wondering, "Where the fuck did the fandom go?" Well, its ass got kicked by APUSH and AP Spanish, just like mine. It's coming back, I promise! Also, Cynicide eats up lots of time. Actually, quick story. Today in science we were talking about cyanide, and I said cynicide, and everyone was like "Ari that's not a word," and I was like "SHIT."

So, yes, love. And I'm going to see cabaret tonight, which should be good.

I'm soo tired :( Mwrak.

I was out 'till one last night, but it was amazingly fun! We had a school dance (sadies, actually), but my date was debating at my school's debate tournament. He was supposed to get out at 9:30. Well, being a debate tournament, which run chronically late, he got out at 11:30, when the dance ended. (He didn't even win his last round). Thankfully I hadn't waited for him, so I got to the dance, but he was really bummed. So he came and picked me up and we went for coffee. Or tried to. No where was open at midnight, so we went to Denny's. Classy, I know. With me in my semi-formal beaded teal dress and Ben in a suit. I feel like we looked like the usual clientèle. So we ate and talked at Denny's for an hour. I had mozzarella sticks. It was fantastic, even though now I totally can't focus on my studying. I have finals next week xP This is not good.

But I got new icons! They're very pretty, although I still lack any TB icons, or Ouran, or Sei/Sub or Fuuma/Kamui or FMA. Good god, what's wrong with me?

What is it with FMA and angst? It has at least twice as much angst in it as Bleach does, and Bleach is pretty damn angsty. I feel the undiluted need to write fluff for it, just to spite whoever the hell decided to make it angst city. Honestly. The angst is unbelievable. But I still love Ed, and Roy, and Hughes, because ( Spoiler ) And on a further note, I got another friend addicted to Bleach. Yay! So, ciao, bellos, don't die.

Well, hi. So I'm sooo new to this and I'm really having difficulties, but it's okay. I'll figure it out with time, I'm sure. So I've got this ski race tomorrow and I'm really scared of it! It's not really a big deal, but it's my first one ever and I really don't think I'm ready. Really. I'm so scared that I'm going to make a fool out of myself (which I will (optimistic, I know)) but I know it'll get easier from here.Hopefully. At least it did with debate. I'm a novice LD debater. Yeah.
So more with life. See, there's this kid who really likes me at school. And he's sooo cute about it too. He talks to my friend about me all the time, and he's just crazy about me, I know. I know he's going to ask me out when we get back to school, too. I just don't know what to say. I don't even know if I like him right now. It's confusing. All I know is that I really don't want to hurt him. He's so sweet to me. If I say no, he'll be heartbroken, and I'm hesitant about saying yes, since I'm not sure I like him.
Well, I'll rant more later. I can already see this thing becoming a venue for my stress. Fun for the misguided souls whom chose to read this.
