for victory we ride, fury of the storm

I always open up a tab to blog on, but it's always lower on my list of priorities, and then it doesn't get done. So I blog from my iTouch to make sure it gets done.

Today we have the Reading TAKS test, which is always really annoying and boring - and of course I dislike the importance the state places on it. But I never have a problem, usually only miss one or two out of how many questions? Fifty-eight? Yeah..

I boast sometimes that I can and will get up early if I want to (if you consider 5:50 early), but really I dislike having to sacrifice sleep. This is not made easier by the fact that I sleep in a loft bed, which (as I always explain it) is a bunk bed without the bottom bunk.

And I also reprimand myself whenever I get up early just so I can harvest my crops on farmville. Which I did today - although I didn't get up quite as early as usual. :P

Darn, the computer I'm using is really slow, especially when it comes to FarmVille. At least I harvested all that Forbidden Rice and planted some more.

Oh yeah, and I got a new bike yesterday. It's silver, and much better for my size than my old one. It's pretty cool.

Every day is closer to summer break - which is exciting not only in that, well, it's the end of school, but also in that I leave for London the day after school gets out, and my cruise starts a few days after. AND ALSO, when I'm in eighth grade, none of the really annoying guys in my multimedia and gym classe will be there. Hooray!

By the way, I was writing this this morning before school.. but then my iTouch ran out of power. Good thing it saved!

So I saw How To Train Your Dragon on Friday! It was very visually appealing, pretty funny ("You just gestured to all of me!") and very cute. If I can get up the courage, I might draw Toothless (the Night Fury) or something.

I was listening to some of the songs in the Almost Alice album, and I realized there are really only a couple songs I might want to buy out of that. However, I'm also eying two albums, one by Breaking Benjamin and one by Dragonforce, that I might buy.. Perhaps I shall buy those two albums and use any leftover iTunes money to buy apps that will help me when I'm on my cruise in Europe.

When I first heard about the iPad, it seemed cool as a tablet, but otherwise a lot like the iTouch. However, there seem to be some pretty darn good apps for it out there, and it now seems more appealing.. I don't have anywhere close to that sort of money, though, so I'm fine, I guess. 'Sides, I have my iTouch.

Yesterday I went out and brought up my camera into this nearly 40 feet tall tree in my backyard. I didn't go all that high up (well, not high compared to how high I usually go) but I've been kinda wanting to do that for a while now. I got some nice pictures (I think) and I didn't drop the camera, so.. yeah. I might post some photos.

I used to roleplay a lot, although it was *cough* mostly on neopets, so I dunno what that really says. Now the only site I roleplay on is this one Warriors roleplaying site with a really good plot, called Starless. Lately I've been kinda lax about roleplaying there.. but tonight I've made like 5 new posts! Feeling good! :)

earphones and fanfiction and neopets oh my!

oh. my. gosh. earphones hate me.

Just on the 24th (about a week ago) I got some new earphones, because my old ones had broken (of course) and the ones they give you with your iPod/iTouch suck. The new ones were all nice and pretty and purple! purple's totally my favorite color. But anyways. Guess what. It's been all of one week and now no music comes out the left earbud. And I haven't been playing with them or anything (I usually tend to twirl them around my fingers, but this week I've refrained from doing so.)

Now, my last pair of earbuds were by the same people, and the same thing happened to them. Why did I get a new pair from the same people, you ask? Well, a) I had been seriously playing with them and stuff, so I figured it was my fault, and b) they lasted a couple months before that happened. Now if you think that might be annoying, you're wrong. It gets worse.

This happens to nearly every single pair of earbuds/earphones/headphones/whatever that I buy. It just never happened this fast before, so it didn't anger me this much. But also, check this: in Multimedia, I sit in the same spot every time, but the headphones usually get mixed up and stuff, so you just grab a pair of headphones. And almost always, I get a pair that only has sound coming out of one side.

I think I have a curse. (maybe it has to do with 222.)

Anyways, sorry for all the complaining, hope it doesn't make me seem bratty. How bout some other stuff?

I've been writing some of that (crack) OOTS fanfiction I was talking about in the last post. I haven't come up with anything substantial, but the others on the Crack Pairings thread on the OOTS forum seem to like my work so far, so I'm good! I also got a new sketchbook, and so far I've only done OOTS art (plus one crossover which had things from multiple genres.)

In theater we've all chosen our songs; me and my friend Destiny are doing No Air by Jordin Sparks (feat. Chris Brown). Some of the other girls keep making fun of the song, but I think it'll be good. I really should be listening to it now so I can memorize the lyrics better, but I'm listening to Soldiers of the Wasteland by Dragonforce instead. cx

Also: I don't really play Neopets anymore, I just check my messages every few days, but today I found out that someone had sent an application to give the robot bori I had up for adoption a home! I was really impressed, and I'm quite satisfied now. okay okay almost done with lame neopets paragraph! the bad thing is that one of my accounts (the fourth one, rhalinae).. well, i can't get into it because i can't get the birthday D: D:

so.. yeah. also, we're starting on some pretty hard algebra.. i was stressed about our homework today but then after a while i realized that it wasn't that hard. so i'm okay! (:

alright, done with this super long post. ;3

More OOTS Stuff!

I now associate a total of four wildly different songs with Order Of The Stick

Tip Of The Iceberg - Owl City (electronic)

Dead Man's Party - Oingo Boingo (alternative)

Through The Fire and Flames - Dragonforce (rock)

TiK ToK - Ke$ha (pop)

o_O

Also.. my mom might take me to a game/comic book store to see if they carry the Order Of The Stick prequel books. The prequel books are.. well, what it says on the tin, but they're only in print, so I really want them. Of course, I want the others too for the ability to read them without being on a computer and to see the extra strips & introductions and such, but I really want the prequels. *.*

Also (2 weeks+ late) I've decided to make a New Year's resolution after all - make more than 50 posts this year! 8D
