Facecicles, snotcicles, icicles.

Only if my face looked as nice as icicles instead of feeling like them.

Okay, so maybe I could have chosen a better introduction.

No matter if you're a girl or guy you should check out my friend Josh's (The Innovation Of Silence) public service announcement blog. The link is to the right for those that are blind. It'll make you chuckle.
So I sit here, in a friend's room, waiting for my next class to begin at 6:40-9:30. On top of that, I'm finishing a paper and studying for math I just now have some hints to do so it can be done correctly.

Yeah, I can't slack right.
I'll talk later.

Aches, Insomnia....and hopefully only dehydration.

Seriously, I'm all sore from something. Yesterday? The snow?
It's all I've got to blame.
Getting pwn3d by people your own size is one thing...but of course that never happens.
Ouchiez. I took an Advil not to long ago.
I'm feeling pretty good right now. No more aches, for now at least.


Last night I couldn't sleep at all. It may have been the utter rush from earlier or maybe not waking up until 1, either or. I didn't sleep at all is what matters and now it's killing me. Writing a speech didn't help either with getting any sleep. Trying to catch up in calculus tonight, studying for a midterm, and finishing a paper isn't going to help tonight either. I DID GET A 2 HOUR NAP IN THOUGH!

I was also feeling really terrible all around, no mentally, but physically drained. I was blaming it on the insomnia, but these long hours of school I have been known to forget to drink and I've gotten dehydrated before. So, right now I'm drinking a soda for the caffeine buzz and then going to drink some water throughout the night. Maybe that's just it...just dehydration.
Anyways, I'm off to go listen to some music, attempt to finish/figure out school, talk to whomever...yeah.

I may be changing my blog name.

P.S.- I've got a few things I want to share, if you're lucky I'll post them on here.

Snow, snow, snow everywhere...even in your pants.

I realize since it's 1:31 a.m here it's a bit awkward to talk about my day, slightly, but not too much. Taken it's now officially done. I also realize I didn't post for a day, two, or three, I'm not sure, I haven't checked. I just know it's been a matter of days and not hours. o_O

So, anyways, monday night I was friggin worried I was going to have to drive to school in slush, ice, snow, you know...the ingredients for disaster. So I get a call this morning from my friend Preston telling me that U.A canceled. Lets just say I celebrated with an intimate conversation with my pillow...until 1 in the afternoon at least.

I was woke up with my dad asking if I was going to sleep any longer, realizing what time it was...yeah, I got up in a hurry. So I got my daily dose of vitamin C with a glass of orange juice and took a glance outside. Snow, snow, snow....everywhere. Gotta admit, it was pretty, instead of seeing semis going up and down the road making everything brown and disgusting and inedible. Yes...I like to eat snow every now and then, eff you. =]

Anywho, I think it was around 5 when Josh asked me if I wanted to play in the snow with him and Kara. Because obviously it's a rule that I have to be there, I have no choice, nor do I mind. I'm about to go before I end up getting a guilt trip from my dad, but I decided to ignore it and just go. Then he keeps bitching why I shouldn't be going, roads, late, cold....blah, blah, blah. I'm about to say "Fuck it" and I did for about 10 minutes until I'm like "Screw this, I'm crazy and bored enough to go". Yeahhh, I got a couple glares from him, oh well. It's not like I couldn't go in the first place, I just hate to hear people bitch.

Initial Plan: Build Snowman
Pass:
Fail: Check

So me, Josh, Kara, and her brother end up just playing in the snow for almost 2 hours. Even though we were standing in the cold for no real reason for awhile too......
Okay, okay, besides mentioning the pictures taken there's no real way to go with explaining the snow other then it was fun, cold, exciting, and it should be done again.
The End


So, tomorrow I have to give a speech. I have been changing it a lot lately, hope the teacher doesn't mind, I really don't want to do it on anything dealing with the environment. So I'm about to go search on The Mars Volta's website for their bio to give me some information to share with the class. With that, I leave you with a video of TMV.

I must have some lost marbles...

At least according to my family I have I few lost marbles. They don't find it a well thought out thing to front my teacher of a problem I think is evident. I mean...I was going to keep it anonymous at least. Eh, so what? We never got anything done just sitting around listening to people in the first place thinking they're always right. Heh, if we did we'd still be ' A Nation Under King ______'.

To far?
Nah, not at all.
Now for a little rant, yeah, yeah...their screen name is x'ed out.

Me I have a voice, many people listen to me, it's something I never thought could happen, but I guess I have a persuasive voice

xxxx: I could say the same for myself, but... I want people to learn on their own, or learn visually.

Lollipop Gourmet (12:12:02 PM): I would like that to happen as well...but, heh, our generation is spoon-fed

Lollipop Gourmet (12:12:10 PM): I'm not excluding myself out of that

xxxx: Of course, I don't think I could adequately explain what OBEY means to someone who can't open their mind thouh.

Lollipop Gourmet: Heh. I argue to attempt to open peoples minds

Lollipop Gourmet (12:13:53 PM): Odd, I made a girl stop being anorexic/bulemia

Lollipop Gourmet (12:13:59 PM): belemic*

Lollipop Gourmet (12:14:05 PM): w/e

xxxx (12:14:21 PM): why the fuck are you taking Chem engineering? take some Psychology

Lollipop Gourmet (12:14:50 PM): I hate psychology

Lollipop Gourmet (12:15:19 PM): I don't want to make money helping somebody out

Lollipop Gourmet (12:16:20 PM): I love to help people, improve, affect, send a message to people....for free

xxxx: To be fair- money would be a nice additive.

Lollipop Gourmet (12:16:58 PM): Not to say it wouldn't be. I don't want it though

xxxx: I dig bud.

Lollipop Gourmet (12:17:35 PM): My lack of greed baffles my family

Lollipop Gourmet (12:17:48 PM): They think I'm joking

xxxx: Same with mine, really. I'm quite humble compared to my family.

Lollipop Gourmet (12:18:37 PM): The family is like "You'll love the money when you get a job"

Me- Yeah, it'll be nice, but why do I need money to help improve society?

xxxx(12:19:00 PM): haha

Lollipop Gourmet (12:19:29 PM): Fear, Greed, Lust, Envy, Sloth

Lollipop Gourmet (12:19:38 PM): Blah

xxxx: Ayeeeee

Lollipop Gourmet (12:20:23 PM): I lust.

xxxx: who doesn't.

Lollipop Gourmet (12:20:40 PM): Fear is instilled in us by "higher" people

Lollipop Gourmet (12:21:05 PM): Greed is made common because of others around us and those higher

Lollipop Gourmet (12:21:14 PM): Envy is caused by media

xxxx: FRED

I also never knew I had so many silver dollars until yesterday when my grandparents...after watching a chinese 80's retro movie with them, gave them to me. Soooo heavy.

I have this sudden fascination with graffiti art
I also say I'm open on this blog. Hmmm, almost, not really though.

I kinda fear a simple word can throw a whole message off.

Bad Teachers, Creeperz, and Haircuts

I probably would have wrote last night, but after falling asleep and barely missing two IM's that were sent to me a minute before I woke up, I decided to go to sleep last night.

So, my day (yesterday), as almost any day of the week was just another bland, original, nothing new day. I went to school, did what was asked, turned in papers, and took quizzes. I'm not going to go too much in depth about a day at school that is usually the same as any other day. Though there is one part of the day at school that did stick out terribly. It's been a common practice of my math/calculus teacher to try to teach the class another subject during a quiz day. After this practice of hers has now failed me out of 3 quizzes, I voiced my opinion about it after I didn't have a respectful amount of time to finish the quiz. By the way, we're not allowed to use calculators in her class either. Which this quiz dealt with simple, but time consuming calculations she demanded be done by hand. With much of the class struggling to finish this quiz with the 20 or less minutes given I said exactly this, or maybe something close:

"It'd be great if you actually finished teaching a lesson before the day of the quiz so the class would have enough time to finish.

Teacher - "Heh, yeah.....right."

"It seems really damn logical to me."

I was probably fuming, okay not fuming, but irked about this for at least 30 minutes. I'm going to end up writing a letter to her, printed out, and put underneath her office door for her to read. What it means to her I can care less, but I have the right to voice my opinion.
Not to mention, my thinking was off for a good part of the day since we had to share our english papers with other students and the two people I shared with, excluding myself went in this order, by topic of course;

1.) Why Barbie Is A GOOD Role Model
2.) Female Genital Mutilation

Wtf, that's all I've got to say about that.

Now...onto my more social part of life.

I was a little bit late, but I end up calling Josh telling him I just got home and I was going to take a shower before I went over. Well, I get over there, give him the Obama Hope poster (designed by Shepherd Fairey) and we get ready to leave. Kara calls, so we head over to her house, and we sit around trying to figure out what to do. Her and her brother end up fighting and it kinda ruins the happy-go-lucky mood that was there. So we finally end up going to the mall, which I knew the general direction to get there...just, not all of the turns. We end up driving around to other places, messing with a van full of people (beeping, 4-way flashes) ya' knowwww, being obnoxious.
I also swore I lost both of them in a store before finding them by some washers...

After having no clue on what to do we went to Perkins' to get a bite to eat, which is where I notice I eat slow. Me and Josh end up trying to make music before we start getting glares...yeah. I also find out sugar water is not that bad at all, thanks Kara. Wal-Mart though, heh, Wal-Mart...attracts very odd people. So we're just minding our own business, while Josh is wearing a pink helmet, and this odd guy starts criticizing Josh, so with this quote "Pink is a manly color" I swear it started a conversation none of us really wanted. So, this goes on for about 30 or so minutes and he's totally hitting on Kara the whole time. We finally leave the guy and end up leaving...and leaving Josh outside. He doesn't talk the whole way home, which makes us think he's pissed, but as I read in his blog he wasn't...ass.

Anyways, yet again, I really liked this weekend and the people in it. <3

...oh, yeah, I got my hair cut today. This is excluding the crazy humor of salon. =x
