It's Snowing

For reals, finally. :D Gonna be a goooooood Christmas.

Pff, so I've magically become a girl who wears makeup...all of the sudden. I've decided there are three reasons girls wear makeup...to hide their face, to enhance their face, and to play with the colors. I am the last one. xD

So Merry Christmas. xD

Stories

I've realized how much I enjoy them. My dad can just go off for hours and I'll sit and listen and wish I were writing it all down. They're not even exciting stories, really, just stories. In general. Like how my dad's best friend showed up at their wedding with a baby carrier in one hand and a bottle of tequila in the other, how my dad put a tape recorder in his baby sister's closet at night to scare her, how my mom once nailed all the kitchen cupboards shut. I don't know. They're wonderful.

I was listening to Utada Hikaru's "Sanctuary" and I realized, if you look up the lyrics, it has several lines backwards, but it's not at all what the lines sound like in the song. So why is it, when you reverse a sound clip, it doesn't sound like all the words written backwards?

School

Is picking up like crazy and I've realized I know absolutely zilch about video editing. But I'm gonna suck it up and make a half-decent movie over the course of about four hours tomorrow. xD Hopefully I'll be successful.

Also, any good that I do in Geometry is sort of killed by the fact that I'm...a junior and I'm still only in Geometry. It's a shame because it's a satisfying feeling, doing a difficult...problem. Y'know...one that you think is difficult. *sigh* It's not my fault my old school was kind of slack in their math program.

It's October and that means you should all read Ray Bradbury. He's an October kind of guy. Particularly Something Wicked This Way Comes and The Halloween Tree. Go. Go and do.

Hyahhh!

I won second place at the fair. :D I sang Valerie, by the Zutons, styled after Panic! At the Disco's version, and it was the bomb. I had sooooo much fun...and lots of chocolate-dipped cheesecake. Heaven. Also, I really want a pot-belly pig. Am I weird for this? I think they're freaking awesome, and the piglets are adorable. It could go live with my dachshund. xD (My boyfriend says it would EAT my dachshund.)

Also, aughhghgghh, still trying to figure out a way to do a Let's Play of Majora's Mask. Bleh. Wonder if Camtasia might help. Is that what it's called?

Thinking...

About making a fabulous cake of some kind. I sort of want some chocolate and some cream cheese frosting. Either that or some incredible pasta dish. 'Cos you know I'm totally an incredible cook...*cough*

I'm addicted to Rifftrax. Y'know all those dumb ads you see all the time? Yes. That. http://www.rifftrax.com/ Mostly because I've been an MST3K fan for years. So go watch some. It's worth your time. (I recommend Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, Aeon Flux, X-Men, and Twilight.)

Well.

Was gonna go swimming today, but the weather doesn't look like it. (Actually, it's probably about sixty five, seventy degrees out there right now so I'm fairly certain by the time we got anywhere near water it'd definitely be warm enough, but the sky looks like rain and that's generally how we judge weather here.) But my band's playing tonight at the coffee shop so I'll just do that. It's plenty enough for today. I'm so lazy.
