All I Ever Wanted/Vi sitter i ventrilo och spelar DotA
I found this cool song earlier today - All I Ever Wanted by Basshunter. I liked it, but I couldn't shake the feeling that I had heard it before, except in another language. I searched it a few times and just couldn't find anything. Finally, I found what I was looking for; Vi sitter i ventrilo och spelar DotA, which a friend of mine showed me quite a few months ago. I'm not sure which one I like better, but it certainly made my day. :D

national park show
earlier my mom came up and asked if I wanted to watch this beautiful show about national parks with her. she said I might like it. I think I might've. but I declined. 5 minutes ago, my dad came up and asked kinda why I didn't watch it.. blah blah.. I think I disappointed them.. now I'm sad.

Chasing Cars
if i lay here
if i just lay here
would you lie with me
and just forget the world?
Gosh, Saturday is almost over. And then tomorrow will be Sunday, when I'll go to church and then come back and go AGH HOMEWORK (well, I don't have that much homework this week, but you know what I mean.)
...Hang on, let me explain that church bit.
My parents go to this church called Live Oak Unitarian Universalist Church. And what that means is that yes, it's a church, but it's open to atheism and such. Which is why my parents go. I'm an atheist too, and I have fun there; our Religious Education classes are quite fun. We learn about other religions, and we do pretty cool activities, and we never touch a Bible. So.. yeah. Just an explanation, if any of my friends read this.
My 9 fanfic is coming along well. You can find it here, or on my dA, but you should probably see the movie first. I have 3 chapters up for anyone who wants to to read and another one typed up that I'll submit tomorrow.
Today seems like a quiet day. A quiet day, not one when I get all hyper. Maybe it's because of the song I'm listening to - Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol, which is what this post gets its title from. It's a kinda soft song, and I like it. Anyways, for me, quiet days are the kind of days where I sit there and philosophize. (Wow, I spelled that right.)
... I was going to write a whole long philosophical paragraph right here. But then I realized it would be futile to try to explain my life here. I mean, you know, that's what a blog is for, right? But I can't do it. I want to. But I can't. Especially because one of my friends might've read it and gotten mad.
Maybe I will try to explain. Someday.
now I feel a little depressed.
let's waste time

School
Alright, so because I have the time, I will blog about my classes. Yay. There's something else that I do want to blog about, but I'll do that later.
anyways.
1st period: Multimedia with Mr. Black
This class is really fun. So far the only program we've been working in is Inkscape (a free vector graphics program) but it's pretty cool so far. There are some really cool text effects you can do in Inkscape, and if you do the right things with the right shapes, you can get amazing results. The only downer is that this jerkwad 8th grader who cusses too much sits next to me, and he and his friend joke around and basically piss me off in general. He's also an idiot and totally incompetent.. but I don't like judging people. Unfortunately, Mr. Black lets him get away with most everything.. Other than that, Mr. Black is definitely a cool teacher.
2nd period: Texas History with Mr. Macuk
This class is rather boring, especially considering that we're pretty much just relearning everything we learned in 4th grade, the last year we extensively did Texas History. Mr. Macuk's alright, but he's definitely willing to give out D-halls. Bleh. On the plus side, I have a lot of friends in that class. There are also some effin idiots who I hoped to never see again.. but they don't sit near me, so I don't care.
3rd period: Gym
I have 3rd period P.E., which I suppose is better than like, 7th period P.E., but still. It's not that bad - I would totally die if I had been in Athletics - but it's rather boring and tedious. Also, I don't have any real friends in that class.. I hang out with this one girl, but she's definitely not one of my besties.
4th period: Science with Mrs. Persad
Science. Ah, science. I like science, and I especially like what we're doing right now; chemistry. Actually, it's not that exciting, but we haven't ever studied chemisty and the periodic table and stuff before, so it's nice to learn something new. Nearly all of my friends are in this class, which is a big plus.
5th period: Advisory with Mrs. Warcken
In my school, advisory is a 20-minute kind of study hall, where we can work on our homework... I'm usually not compelled to actually work on my homework at this time, so usually I'm either reading, drawing, or writing.
6th period: Lunch
This year I have lunch 6th period (which is much better than 3rd period lunch o_O) and so do all my friends, so everything's cool. d:
7th period: Algebra with Mrs. Timourian
Algebra is definitely a harder class than I expected; I only have managed a 90 up to this point; but I like the class, I think. It's a small class with a couple of my friends in it. Mrs. Timourian requires us to take notes, which I think is helping me in this class (the taking notes itself, not actually studying them; I don't study as a general rule, although I may actually start doing that for algebra).
8th period: Theatre with Mrs. Baker
Mrs. Baker is definitely one of my favorite teachers. She's cool, funny, and quite nice. The class is rather large though, and I only have a few semi-friends in it... oh well. Anyways, I like theatre, and I prefer Mrs. Baker to my theatre teacher last year. Hmmm.
9th period: Language Arts with Mr. Esquivel
Surprisingly, this is my favorite class, although Multimedia is a close second. I guess it's because I like to read and write, and as a plus Mr. Esquivel is a really awesome teacher. He knows what he's doing and is really open to our ideas. This class is also small, but it has quite a few of my closest friends in it. Yay~~
and then we get out of school. x3
---
There are other things I want to say, but I don't want to type them, because I'm afraid a certain someone will see and then our friendship will be ruined. All I will say is that now I know how it feels.
No, I always knew how it felt.
Just not about something like this.

dA. sketchbook and 9 stuffs
Alright so, for the record, lately I've been on deviantArt, the most popular art community on the interwebz, a lot more. Not only that, but I've been actually submitting my own stuff (mostly 9 fanart) a lot more. So if you're interested in my art, you can find it all here:
http://dictionary-0.deviantart.com/
Alright, so the following is copied from my journal on dA. Because I'm lazy.
I am almost finished with my sketchbook, so my mom got me a brand new sketchbook and a $45 set of 24 colored pencils, the latter of which I didn't even ask for, so that was sweet. d:
Mmkay. There's some things I need to upload:
1) My design for 10, my OC who appears in my fanfic. ((and no, I really don't give a damn how many other 10's there are))
2) My chibi fanart labeled 'Stitchpunk Pyramid' in which 10 and all the original 9 characters appear
3) My chibi fanart starring 6 and 7.
4) My somewhat lame drawing of 7, 9, 3, and 4 looking at 10 before she is awakened ((and note to self, I need to get it straight in my head where everyone's numbers are));
and 5) the first chapter of my 9 fanfic (which I don't quite have a title for yet) once I've finished with it. My fanfic takes place after the movie, so yes, it won't be featuring anyone who died. ;(
On the other hand, I have some sketchy ideas for a short fanfic featuring the ones who did die, so..
And since it's a Friday, I'll get most of these things up today or tomorrow, since I'll have both the time and the inclination to scan all the stuffs from my sketchbook. d:

Yet More 9 & Tablet Pen
Sigh... There are a lot of mixed reviews for 9. Some who hate it, some who love it. But reviews like this one give me hope that more people love it than hate it. And someone said that it was sold out in a major theater in their area. This is good. I just really, really hope that there is a sequel.
Okay, well, 9 fandom aside, guess what. I lost my tablet pen. Again. And so I was looking to do some 9 memes on deviantArt, so I actually decided to look in the BLACK HOLE PIT OF DOOM that is under my computer desk for the pen.
And well, the good news is that my pen is not in the BLACK HOLE PIT OF DOOM broken and/or infested with spiderwebs like I thought it would be.
The bad news is that I've searched the entire surrounding area (and it's been cleaned recently, too) so I have no idea where the hell it might be.
More good news: My mom might get me a new tablet for my birthday, since this one is kinda glitchy.
More bad news: My birthday's two months away.
Dammit.
EDITEDIT:
WOOOT FOUND MY TABLET PEN
it was up on a shelf that i can't even reach. no wonder i didn't look there.

I'm all about 9.
To restate what I've been saying for the past 2 weeks, I love the world Shane Acker has created. In the movie, the characters could maybe have used a little more development, but the visuals and storyline was amazing. I now understand how my sister could've been so obsessed with Princess Mononoke a few years back.
5 is one of my favorite characters (well; since there are really only 9 characters to begin with, there aren't many to choose from) so I drew him in my sketchbook and finally got around to scanning him. I am really rather proud of this drawing, even if the hands aren't that great and it's not colored.
If that image messes up, I uploaded it to deviantArt here (be sure to click on the image so that it's full size, it looks bad when it's downsized.)
AND. I found another trailer (although I may have linked to it in my very first post about 9) that has a part that is both happy and sad, for me anyways. It is here and the part I speak of starts at 1:37 or so and lasts for about 11 seconds.
Also; at the beginning of the aforementioned trailer, the Scientist says (and I think he said this in the movie too):
We had such potential,
Such promise.
But we squandered our gifts.
And so,
9
I am creating
you.
Our world is ending.
But life
must go on.
These words made an impression on me for some reason. I don't quire know why.
