first term, middle term, last term. ft, mt, lt. F.M.L.

(Well, my life isn't really f***ed, but... anyways.)

You know what one of the worst things in school is?

Thinking you've figured some kinda hard thing out and thinking, 'Hey, this is easy,' and then coming to class the next day, checking the answers, and realizing that you'd got them all wrong.

It sucks. And now I feel real bad and even though it was just a completion grade, I feel like I have to redo that page. See, the thing about math (btw, we're talking about my latest algebra homework here) is that the things you learn build on one another, and if you don't understand one thing.. D:

I wonder if I'll have to go to tutorials. Maybe I'm a little bit prideful, but I've never gone to tutorials before. Gahhhhh.. this algebra is driving me crazy.

Um.. other news. Alright, so I ended up contacting TNT and providing them with the pw and other stuff to show that I own my fourth side account, rhalinae, and I was all nice and stuff, and then I asked for the birthday. Truth be told, I didn't expect to get an answer - I was expecting some automated message saying that they can't do that and that it sucks to be me. But it was nothing like that at all! They quickly responded with the birthday. Isn't that cool? I mean, I always expect the staff to be annoying, but I'm reminded that they're people too.. (:

Anyways, I got on that account, fed my pets, and then moved the next pet to my main account so it could go under the lab. Took a while, but - yay! Happy endings for all of us! Yeah, yeah, boring neopets stuff.

I'm getting back into the fanfic-writing groove. I'm starting on the second chapter of a somewhat outrageous story called The Elven Affair.. not that anyone reading this would be likely to know any of the characters. x)

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

Hmm what should I say here

So I've been spending the last couple days selling Girl Scout Cookies and drawing OotS fanart. (Not surprisingly, I've gotten to the last page of my sketchbook. I'll be getting a new one soon.) I haven't blogged much in the past few days, so what the heck, I'm typing away.

Luckily, I have no major projects or tests that I'm stressing out about (except that algebra test I took yesterday, I know I got several questions wrong. Oh yeah, and I have that PowerPoint presentation on Charles Darwin due next Wednesday.. but we have time to work on it in class Monday and Tuesday.)

Yeah, um, anyways.. The other day I preformed a monologue in theater, as opposed to working with a partner like everyone else did. I'm not usually a loner, but in my Theater class.. Well, I just wish I'd gotten 3rd period theater instead of 8th. Ah well - next year I'll be taking Art instead, as I've found out that I really don't enjoy theater that much without any friends. Anyways, I think I did pretty good on the monologue, even if I forgot one of my lines. Our next unit is lip sync, which should be fun, as I found someone to work with this time. I wonder what song we'll be doing though.. hope it's something I know. c:

My friend slept over last night, gave me some ideas for some (crack) OOTS fanfiction.. hmm..

Alright, now I'm done with my extremely mundane post. x)

Oops...

Well! I haven't completely lost hold of my senses - I've decided to research Charles Darwin instead of D&D.. though I suppose that was mostly because no one in my class would know what I was talking about when I did the presentation. *.* Anyways, I've just spent the past hour reading.. yup, Order Of The Stick fanfiction. It took a while for me to finally venture into the thread labeled "Crack Fanfiction" on the OOTS forum, but I did, and while most if it was either disturbing or hilarious, one of the longer stories totally swept me away.

Well, I guess I know what my plans for this weekend are. I wonder which is more reasonable - to be obsessed with a comic strip and its fanfiction or an animated movie and its fanfiction? Probably the latter, but unfortunately my 9 obsession only lasted 2 months.. while I've been obsessed with OOTS since late October.

Oops indeed. (Also oops for making the titles of this post and the last post the same.)

((P.S. If you don't know what I'm talking about when I say OOTS, it's a stick figure comic I've been yakking about since October, found here. If you are familiar with Dungeons & Dragons, it could be funny for you, but I'm not that familiar with it, and I love the comic. *.*))
