Balloon Cars {and cave in}

I've had just about enough
Of cloaked diamonds in the rough
Because my backbone is paper thin
Get me out of this cavern or I'll cave in

So, Mrs. Persad assigned us this stupid project on Friday; we had to make a "car" powered by no more than 2 balloons in a week, and it had to go at least 5 meters. That's 15 feet. And did I mention that the wheels you used could not be anything originally meant to be used as wheels?

It was pretty stupid, and me and my partner had a bit of a scramble to get it done. Especially me; I (and I got my parents to help a lot, too) stayed up until 1 last night getting it done. And all in all, it went 3 meters. That's good, since at least once or twice it didn't really go anywhere, which means that I got an 85 instead of a 65. Whew.

It's 1 again right now, and I probably should've gone to bed 2 hours ago.. but I kinda got wrapped up in Tvtropes. Which I think is kindof lame and not really well known, but it has that Wikipedia quality that you can keep looking up stuff for hours. Which.. I just did.

If the bombs go off the sun will still be shining
Because I've heard it's said that every mushroom cloud has a silver lining

By the by, getting the Ocean Eyes album was definitely a good idea. Even the song that I thought was wayyyyyy too cheery at first seems to appeal to me now. And my dad seems to like Owl City, which is cool.

I'm going to be a vampire again, like last year - same costume and everything, since I didn't express much interest in being something else. And I don't mean the sparkly vampire. I just have a pale face and a trickle of face blood for my makeup. No glitter. ;)

Tie my handlebars to the stars so I stay on track~

Happy Halloween, everyone!

{By the way, my possible favorite song out of the Ocean Eyes album is Cave In, followed by the original Hello Seattle and, of course, Fireflies.}

blarrggh

mrs. persad really annoys me. out of all my teachers this year, she is the only one i really dislike (though i thought she was okay at first.) she gives out ridiculous science projects and she talks way too fast and she's like ugggh. one time she had us spend the entire period presenting our warm-ups, and then we had to go turn them in anyways. she could've just asked us to turn them in and let us do something USEFUL for a change. but nooo.

i just bought the entire owl city album ocean eyes. i hope i don't regret it. i just basically spent the very last of my itunes money (and yes, i use itunes. i'm scared that my parents will find out that i downloaded it from somewhere else and thing i pirated it or something like that. ;-; oh well.)

Welcome Home by Coheed and Cambria (which, by the way, is on the 9 soundtrack) is really cool. I like it, although I must say that I actually just like the instrumentals. x) If you wanna see what I'm talking about, here you go.

this is the one time i'm allowed to stay up until like midnight, and i start getting tired-ish around eleven. ;P

oh yes, and now for a statement about the wonderful MLIA, if you haven't heard of it already..

My Life is Average.

Yes, it's true.

But sometimes, there are amazing, wonderful situations that happen to average people. MLIA is a site which shares the layout style of the more well-known FML, but the stories are entertaining and thoughtful. Here's an example;

"Today, I found out that my guidance counselor had me switched to harder classes. I was really upset until I went to AP global. when I got there, the teacher handed out 3D glasses to every student and began to write notes on the board in 3D chalk. I have a feeling I'm going to like this class. MLIA"

I swear, after reading FML for a while, this site gives me hope for the human race.
