April 14 Magical tax day! is tomorrowI've decided that if I could draw anything, I would draw character sketches of literary figures. Either that or really attractive men. Or possibly tigers... Hmm.
On an unrelated note, I own a fish. One of those beta fish. The pretty ones that Walmart the Evile keeps in dank little puddles. Where the DUECE are the fish rights activists? I mean really. And in the bigger tanks, stiff little bodies swirl aimlessly, softly decaying. Okay wow. Didn't mean to start a rant. O_O The point is, I own a fish. And his name is Count Vladimir (or just Vlad, for short. ^_^). And he brings much joy into my small life! His completely expressionless face, pressed against the glass, framed by furiously waving fins, makes my heart go EEEE!!! in happy fangirl adoration. I wrote him a poem.
Is that not firm evidence I need a life? April 10 Fire LobsterThe first result for the google search "lobster on fire" was about the Fire Lobster, apparently a lovable instructor on the subject of fire safety, beloved of children everywhere, complete with comb over. Oh Lord. Do children know how they cook lobsters? Is that how they are instructed on the dangers of fire?!!? It's important to know these things.
Remember children: stay out of boiling water. o_O Omigawd I've got AGE!My birthday happened, Lord 'a mercy. I am now 20, firmly free of all childish tendencies (obviously). So, to celebrate my maturity I dressed punk. O! The dirty looks I got! It was a good day. ^_^
Rats. This was supposedly to be an Enlightened Work to fully showcase my wit and intelligence. Instead, I find myself wondering what I used to fill my blogs with.... I suppose I could always jot down random words to get me more search results... Bush hating! pr0nz! Britney Spears! Lobsters on fire!!!!11!1 .....actually, I now need to go google that last one. I'll let you know what turns up. ^_^ March 08 Fetishes??!So you know how it goes. It's the internet, so it's bound to happen. You know, the random invites from semi-clad females, using terrible grammar, to me she'd like to chat. Well anyway I got one recently. For this site. L. O. L. She said liked my picture (apparently I look "kinda cute, but it's hard to tell on the internet"). Oh woman, you have no idea. I maybe the model of lemur perfection, but I don't "chat" outside my species. Sorry.
Pardon whilst I laugh at the Grand Stupidity of the Blank Masses. January 26 So this is the new year...Comrades! Allow me to bestow An Update. ^_^
It may not be particularly interesting but yes. I am an English major. What am I going to do with said major? First you must ask can something be done with it. I could teach, I suppose. Not so appealing. Now editing! That's better. Although... if I had my choice of careers I would write and illustrate children's stories. Yeeeeees. In the meantime I flail. A lot. College seems to encourage that sort of behavior. "Please compare Dryden's dialogue style with Plato's." .....Plato wrote dialogues, did he? Good to know. Oh well. All my teachers look at me with fondness--although I'm not sure if it's because I am actually doing well or because I'm failing in an endearing manner.
Hmmm... let's see let's see. Oh! My job! Yeah, being an English reader is the Best. They give us much free tea!! Approved!
I'm in five classes this quarter. There's History of England (which I had no previous knowledge of, so this is very satisfying), Survey of English and American Literature (my teacher is petite, female, and scary as all get out. Absolutely love her, but she puts the fear of God in me), College Writing (my teacher is Everything I Want To Be In Life), German (ahahah! the male to female ratio is sooooo very gratifying!), and Aerobic Rhythms.
Aerobic Rhythms deserves a bit of commentary. First what we must ask ourselves: just what IS this class? It's a mix of step aeroibcs, water aerobics, and some assorted things of death. Not all at once, thank goodness. My teacher is a work of art. She's thin, blonde, fit (hot), sanguine, vegan, and she wears a tight top and a headset. In other words she is the Stereotype. She even says all the encouraging phrases (we're always "doing great." I'm just thrilled I haven't passed out yet).
The weather here is very depressing. So. Very. There's a thin coating of ice sealing everything with a sturdy layer of Certain Doom. Someone make it stop!!!
And, since it is now 10:54 and I haven't really eaten anything since lunch, I'm going to go nurse a mug of comfort soup. Is there a more satisfying verb with which to consume liquids than "nurse"? I propose there is not.
Love&Peaches!
Saa-san September 04 11I start college (again! hah!) in less than two weeks. Sorta. But let's not actually explain aything, shall we? ^_^ My major is undecided but will probably end up being English. Mmmm.... Ennnnglisssssh. I have a job all lined up in the English Department, by the way. I'm gonna be a reader, which is kinda impressive for a freshman. And thus, I am freaked out. Very. 'Cause I'll most likely be grading my friend's papers. Not that that's awkward or anything.
Hum, my summer... was spent mostly at college, working on 12 credits. Good for me. So I have now been enjoying my mircosummer of about 6 weeks. How sad. I went to Colorado with Ca-chan, though. We visited her grandparent's ghost town. Very fun, very un-shower-y. Man it's nice to be clean again!
Hrmm... what else have I been up to? Graduated, but that's not interesting. Ooo! Ooo! I left bread all around town with two of my friends when we should have been studying! That was fun! Huh. Can't really think of anything else to say. O_O Surely my life isn't THAT dull, is it?? Well, I'm sure I'll come up with something to complain about before long.
Much love!
Saa-san
September 03 ...were titles always required??Hi people! I exist. Still. Or again. You know, I seriously forgot I had/have a blog. Wow that's sad. I'm free (read: graduated) of the school that wouldn't let me look at my blog so I guess I can use this again.... Man there's a lot to say! Annnnnd none of it sounds interesting. More at 11. PS I.... I... I love you. *blush* Sometimes. ^_^ December 20 Even I don't know why....I have no idea why but I wanna fill this out...... something must be broken!
Tee-hee! That was fun. ........right? By the way, spell check thinks that "internet" needs to be capitalized. Ha! Stupid Gore.
Oh dear goodness!! *sob sob*Look at you all.... you left me comments. Even though I wasn't here to read them... I... I... feel so LOVED. *sob, wail* Perhaps this is the Christmas-y spirit that everyone fruitlessly seeks... Yes, I am still a cynic. Huzzah.
So this is how life's been: manless. Er... shouldn't just come out and admit it, should I? Oh well. Whatever. It matters not. The point is um... Well anyway school's busy. Or I am. Because of school. Hey!! I took archery!!! For P.E. credit. It was brilliant fun. You have no idea. My arrows usually ended up behind the target... pointing towards the target. I have no clue how I got that talented. And I was absolutely the worst one out there. Somehow, this endeared me to all present. The camaraderie was well-meant, I'm sure.
So how'd you do today?
Not bad! I got 200! How'd you do, Saa-san?
20!
WOW!! Your best yet! Good job!!
....Yeah, and the sad thing is that's no exaggeration.
The other great thing in my life is AP English. Heh heh.... Ah the pure joy of reading poetry...and then beating your classmates senseless because they disagree with your interpretation (there are only two possiblities, by the way: love or death. All poems mean one or the other). Wanna know just how much of an English nerd I am? I took the textbook home with me... so I can read it over break.... *sigh* Someone should stop me.
Oh guess what! I got to play the new Zelda game yesterday! It equals heart. Yes, all those other things that are supposed to bring you happiness well... they're probably right. But add this to the list anyway. It's so beautiful....
So now I need to go do penance. Or something. Probably go play Zelda... go perform some other mind improving task. Yeah. Love and peaches...
September 01 SchoooolSchool's started. Blah, blah. It does that, you know. But this year I'm living in the dorm (I'm a senior in high school, by the way). And the internet in the dorm ain't workin' at the moment. Nor has it all week. My life is so afflicted with misery 'n woe. And internet-less-ness. And homework! Geez-sha-neez. Must work. But since I finally was able to give y'all a howdy I thought I would. Much love. Please send sympathy and donuts (yes! it's donut season again!!). August 22 The point of friendsJosh tells me the point of having friends is you get bikes. Wow. I wish myspace had something like that. You know how it is. Everyone on myspace has 267 friends but you. You have 5 because you have the decency to only be friends with people you actually know. And Tom. Let's not forget Tom. Hah! I deleted him from friends right quick let me tell you.
I went computer shopping with my dad today. Hilarious fun. The computer package he was interested in had a 15" screen. He asked what it would cost for a 17". $30 more. And a 19"? $200 more. Okay then we'll have a 17". And you say this comes with a printer? Oh hey, it's a crappy one! Can we not get the printer? It'll cost $120 more without the printer? Alright, we'll get it then. Does this have a cable to connect with the computer? No? Well, how much is the cable? $35? Lovely doing business with you. ^_^ Gotta love those crazy deals. Better off not knowin'.
And, unfortunately, I have homework. That's correct. School begins Monday and I have homework. Happens when you're taking AP English. Sigh... I must write reactions to The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and The Great Gatsby. So... I off I go to react. Haha. Life is a mystery.
August 20 Uh... yupSo I uh.. erm... figured out why I couldn't visit my blog... I was trying to visit it at it's old address and that just wasn't doing it. So.... I feel kinda dumb. Wasted a lot o' wrath for nothin'. *sigh* Oh well. At least now I know what's wrong. And I got a lotta updating to do so let me go do so. And stuff.
More on the life and times o' Saa-san after a bit. ^_^
Anyone know what the point of adding friends is? Well, I'm gonna do it. I like having friends. Panictopia!Good lord help us all! This is honestly the first time that I have been able to access my blog since my last update. Many, many tears. Sooooooo I really gotta go panic now... August 12 Nglhmph frema?That is the precise noise to describe the situation. A few quiet, meditative explatives would also go well. The fact is I am paranoid. Very. I thought I had a handle on msn and then they do this. I don't know where this leaves our relationship.... especially since they only just decided I could view the change. How thoughtful. I shall now go make nervous noises on other people's blogs. And panic. Yeah. I think I'll go do that, too. July 28 Random Summer CommentsD'you know why I approve of summer? Corn on the cob. That is very nearly the sole reason, too. I guess warmer weather is nice. Sometimes it's nice to see all the summer clothing (or lack there of) but mostly it isn't. Some people look very nice in tans, you know. Everyone looks bad in sunburns, though. I have gotten completely off topic. Pardon the stray. *eg-hem* I love corn on the cob. It is a genius work of nature. And makes sweating nearly bearable (so do popsicles!). I am having some for dinner tonight. Thought you should know.
I think "tonight" looks much less fashionable than "tonite". Yup.
I have decided that to tell y'all 'bout my trip I should include pictures. Unfortunately, I shan't have said pictorals until my father comes home with the digital camera. And that shan't be for a bit. So I am putting off the story telling for a bit. Do forgive the inconvenience (unless of course you don't care... in which case don't bother. I'm not begging).
Ooo! The corn summons me! Saa-san says Fare thee well..... ^_^ July 26 Triumphant ReturnOr something like it at least. Man! For once I don't have a lack of things to say... more like confusion as to which to speak of. And so the obvious course of action to take is tell you about my hair cut. ^_^ Don't worry--I will talk about the trip. Later.
I went in to get my hair trimmed. Nothing too exciting about that. But I got it cut by a homosexual (NOT A SLUR). I wouldn't say I'm prejudiced, but I would say I don't have a clue how to treat them. I figured "normally" would be a brilliant strategy and so it proved. He was delightfully sincere. I thanked him for giving me hair tips and he just lit up. He said that hair stylists shouldn't just cut hair, they should help you learn to take better care of your hair and become happier with your appearance. It was refreshing to meet someone so genuine. He even told me that he found English "incredibly boring" after I told him it was my favorite subject. Haha! He was just lettin' me know. Thank you. ^_^ Gah, I love real people.
So that was fun. And random of me. Anyway.... Yay for me becoming a better person. I assume. ^_^ July 05 Toodle PipWell Beloveds it's time for Saa-san to flee the frozen north and go fry to a crisp in the sunny south ('tis my duty as an American). So I won't be on tomorrow. Or the next day. Or the next. And so the pattern will cont. until about the 23rd. I know! Eternity in summer vacation form!!! But eternity ends. Fear not. ^_^
And now I must pack. Very much so. Nhhhh. Makes me sad. I don't enjoy the stuffing of suitcases. Oh well. A burden I shall bear.
Anyway, here's a barrel full of Love for you while I'm gone. ^_^ Enjoy! July 04 Happy 4th ofIt's that time o' year when the patriot within us all is stirred. And by patriot I mean the part of us that eats corn on the cob, watermelon, and lemonade. Hah! Every good American eats the traditional meal! Haha what a great country. We show spirit by consuming prescribed food. ^_^ I love America. Oh yeah, and then there are fireworks. Man, I miss living in Idaho. You could buy fireworks there. Here in Washington I'm dependant on another's handiwork. Admittedly they do better a job. However, I find it much more satisfying to set the lawn ablaze. Kidding! We never quiet managed that. But I think minor burns were inflicted... those were the good olde days. ^_^
By the way, I got a sunburn. A crispy one. It's so red that it is red (brilliant). Not one of those nasty pink imitations. This is what happens when you attend outdoor July weddings and forget liquid protection (be ye warned).
By "liquid protection" I mean sunblock, not an alcoholic beverage just to keep the record straight. If you've ever seen My Fair Lady you may have recognized the line ("You wouldn't send me to see your mother without a drop o' liquid protection!"). Haha. Love that movie.
Annnnnd I'm done. June 30 12 Dayssince my last update. Gah, I'm a bad person... especially since this needs be short 'cause I'm leaving in a few minutes. *sigh* Leaving home and friends to attend a wedding. Oh well. For once in my life I actually want to go. I just don't want to drive allllllllll day which we're gonna do. Such is what is.
Anyway, I have been busy (always my excuse, what?). It honestly seems like I had more free time during the school year. I got home earlier, for one thing. How cruel! You vile world, tempting me with promises of easy, summer bliss. And then! Work!! Ah well. I'm making money. That's a lovely concept right there, let me tell you. ^_^ Mmmmmmmmoney. Oh dear. Am I being a bad influence on my Beloveds? Not good not good. As penance I shall have to eat ice cream and contemplate uh.... hyperboles. Yup.
Got new sunglasses. That makes me sad. I have no idea what happened to my last pair. I liked those. These new ones are large and in style. And large. 8 bucks, though. How nice. They're only until I find a pair that satisfies my finely tuned aesthetic senses. Heh heh.
And now I leaveth thee. We shall meet again (actually, that sounds nearly creepy).
June 18 *song title or something else artsy*Stiff and sore today. Yesterday saw me taking a hearty hike in the hills. Good for the cardiovascular, or so I'm told. Frankly I haven't exactly been reaping any noticeable benefits. Gah, those silly health professionals... I'm pretty sure they just want to sucker the world into making fools of themselves. But I'm on to them now! Ha!
By the way, I've noticed that I really like making screennames for MSN. You just pick little artsy lines and ta-da! Perfection. The ones I've used recently are:
three simple words
perfect circles
the traditional breaking
legions of twelve
and the deity dies
How's that for ambiguity? You know, if all it takes in the art world is make something that is easily misinterpreted (several ways!) politicians have it made...
I love this time of year. Sorta. That is, I love the blooming flowers and whatnot but a goodly portion of my Dearly Beloveds have buzzed off (happens when you attend a boarding academy. Most of your friends live hours away). Well, they'll be back just in time for the scenery to turn ugly. Figures.
Gah, summer makes me lazy. *random excuse to conclude here!* Actually, I don't need an excuse if I'm just plain lazy, right? No hard feelings, what?
Love for you! Yes you, Fair Reader. Enjoy the happy feelings brought by this knowledge. ^_^
