"Canada tops, but America can't see him. He just thinks there's a bear floating above him while he feels things in the butt." - hoyvinglavin64

Since HG's been getting after me to post that quote up there, I guess I might as well make an actual post. So, sorry for up and disappearing for a week like that. Finals pretty much took over my life, which I gather is a thing that happens to a lot of people, but it is still something I should apologize for. But anyway, they are over now. Turned in the last one, in true me fashion, three minutes before the 11:55 due date. :B

So I've been home for a couple days. Haven't done too much except go to club, see Yuki, and play Pokémon TCG. I've finally built (with some help, of course ♥) a deck that actually has a strategy behind it and that I can actually win with. :O The only problem is there's never anyone on Lackey who plays, so if any of you guys are into the Pokémon TCG, let me know! I need new battle partners. :B

Also, I realize this should be common sense, but if you have a Mac, do not get the trackpad wet. Seriously. I got mine wet the other day and it spazzed out at me intermittently for like an hour. And if you do happen to get it wet, the option to disable it is under System Preferences > Universal Access, not System Preferences > Trackpad. :|

Better finish up that song meme.

( DAY 22: A song that someone has sung to you. )

( DAY 23: A song that you cannot stand to listen to. )

( DAY 24: A song that you have danced to with your best friend. )

( DAY 25: A song you could listen to all day without getting tired. )

Well, we can all see how well that worked at getting me to post every day. So now I will start another one~! Yeah, yeah, I know, but hopefully without school I'll actually be able to keep up with it this time. Besides, I need to convince birdboy2000 to do it. So here everyone, have a Digimon meme! :D

( Day 01: How old were you when you first discovered Digimon? )
(List of days is here.)

Also, expect an AB con report to come... sometime. Whenever I can actually get myself to do anything. :(

Ughh, I'm sorry for falling behind again guys. I have been not terribly smart lately and it is not fun. :c On the bright side, I did friend some particularly awesome people in the f!s friending meme. Hi there, baka_tenshi, judo_creature, kyoto_idol, margerydaw_s2, necro_staff, retraux, skaiasthelimit, tari_silmarwen, technophile, and theditz! Enjoy your stay. :D

Now a beliefs quiz that I took! ( Beliefs quiz results under the cut. :B )

Aww yiss this quiz knows me so well. :D

...I guess I should stop putting off catching up on the song meme, huh.

( DAY 17: A song that makes you want to dance. )

( DAY 18: A song you love but rarely listen to. )

( DAY 19: The first song alphabetically in your iPod/iTunes. )

( DAY 20: The last song alphabetically in your iPod/iTunes. )

Getting this post done early. I don't want to fall behind again.

( DAY 15: A song you love singing along to. )

:3

Whoa, sorry about not updating for the past few days. On Sunday I had to catch up on all my homework that I didn't do while doing the play, and then yesterday I went home for the first night of Passover. Apparently my school has actual good Passover food, so I may starve less than usual! This is exciting. :D

The second performance went okay. We had a tougher audience and some more lines got messed up, but it was still pretty good. I just wish more people had come. :( There was, however, more concrete talk of doing this again next year, which would be so awesome. We're discussing doing As You Like It or maybe Shrew, but I'm still holding out hope for Twelfth Night. >_>

( DAY 06: A song that reminds you of a best friend. )

( DAY 07: A song that reminds you of the past summer. )

( DAY 08: A song that reminds you of your "first love." )

And also it is getting to be about that time, so I figured I should ask you guys. Anyone else going to Anime Boston? :D

Got back a while ago from our final rehearsal. We perform tomorrow. Maybe it's because we're an amateur troupe and expected to mess up a bit, but I'm more excited than nervous. We didn't even have full costumes and props a couple days ago, and today everyone looked great and acted great and aaaagh I don't know, it was pretty perfect. Anyway, the point is I think we should be proud of ourselves. :B

I really should be in bed by now but I thought I ought to post the next day of the song meme.

( DAY 04: A song that calms you down. )

Yesterday got worse, ish. I didn't have any homework for today, so I thought I would get start on my homework for tomorrow, but instead I internetted and browsed fandomsecrets all night.

The latter turned out to be not such a great decision, because according to anons there I am a pervert and a troll for being over the age of 10 and liking ponies. I'm sorry I can't control my age okay. :[ This is why I don't like internet arguments. They weren't even talking to me specifically and it still made me really depressed. I know it is a dumb thing to get depressed over, but I hate being made fun of for liking things targeted towards kids, especially when it is things like MLP which are meant to appeal to multiple ages. x_x That C.S. Lewis quote helps some, but... still.

I guess to make myself feel better I will start a 25 day song meme, which I also stole from quadruplify because I am the master of stealing things from quadruplify.

( DAY 01: A song from your childhood. )

Me, like childish things? Completely baseless accusation.

So, last post has a happy ending! I emailed my teacher, and she let me use her computer yesterday afternoon. Her Garage Band turned out to hate me too, but she turned out to have the old version of iMovie, so with the help of that, a handheld recording device, and a lot of staying up late last night, I finished the project! :D Presented it in class this morning, and people seemed to like it. I ended up being actually pretty darn proud of it myself. So. :D

(Also, the speaker seems to have righted itself somehow, at least well enough that I'm not complaining. :B)

ALSO I got the grade back for that oral I posted about a couple weeks ago. Turns out I got a 100. o_O I didn't even think one could get a 100 on an oral. But first time for everything, I guess. :D

Right now despite these successes I am still kind of sad because my favorite class with my favorite teacher ended today. :( To take my mind off it, and to celebrate finally uploading all my CDs (I've been procrastinating since September), I am going to do this meme that I stole from fujicori. Let's see how many of the 194 new songs are on it. :D

Rules:
Step 1: Put your MP3 player on random
Step 2: Post the first line or so from the first 30 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
Step 3: Let everyone guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: Bold the songs when someone guesses correctly. (Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!)

( Also because you know I can never resist this meme. )

Left in the non-English songs this time, but I can tell you now that no one is going to get them. :P Also this was a pretty terrible sampling for this meme, wow. I'm not sure why I'm posting it.

Oh god I am leaving for college tomorrow. Am super nervous/scared/worried/other negative emotions. I know people say it is not as bad as all that, and I assume I will be okay in a couple weeks. But that doesn't help me right now. D:

Umm. To take my mind off that, a meme.
Haven't done this one in a while! Stolen from uhohyo_yo.

Rules:
Step 1: Put your MP3 player on random
Step 2: Post the first line or so from the first 30 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.

( Here there be meme )

I'm not sure this lineup is an accurate representation of my musical tastes. :\

What's this? A song meme I haven't done before? ( NO WAI!!!!11 )

I have 666 songs on my computer, lol. (Though only 663 on my iPod, because of repeats.)
