Pleeeeeeeease don't shoot me or jump down my throat! I'm just expressing my honest opinion. Spoilers through Eclipse.
So, every time I've told someone I'm Team Jacob (with the exception of ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) freeing_pan), I've gotten this shocked, incredulous reaction. Now, I get that Team Jacob is far less popular than Team Edward...but I just can't wrap my head around why SO many people are so CRAZY about Edward/Bella and so ADAMANT about the pairing.
Taking Jacob completely out of the picture, doesn't it matter ( that... )?

Okay, just one question:
What do you guys think my shot is at marrying Idina Menzel? Because, seriously? ♥

I just put on the TV and saw the trailer and OMG.
It just dawned on me.
I can't believe it's ending.
OMG.

Is it okay to be sobbing like a baby already?
I thought that--having not watched this for a good few years--I wouldn't be so sad.
But I am.
Devestated.

Sometimes, I think that if I did less work, I'd be smarter.
Seriously.
I wastes so much friggen time doing busy work and worry about a hundred million different things, and I never have time to think. For example? Yesterday, I stayed after school to put up the Virginia Tech memorial. By the time I got home, took a shower, and ate dinner, it was already past 8 o'clock. I took a two or three hour nap, because I haven't had more than five hours of sleep per night since Easter break.
And then I preceded to waste an enormous amount of time on my 121-question APUSH take home test. By enormous, I mean that I never actually "went to sleep" last night. I took two or three naps when I got tired or frustrated with the questions, so I did sleep, but all I did last night was that APUSH test.
WHICH SHE NOW TELLS US IS NOT EVEN A FUCKING TEST! She's not even counting it!
Since I spent all of that time on the APUSH test, I didn't get to study math or Latin. I think I got through the math test because it was mostly multiple choice, and I was able to plug a lot of stuff into the calculator. Latin was a vocab quiz, and I got a hundred on it because I looked it over at lunch. But I'm not going to remember it after today. I didn't learn. I still don't fully understand logs.
*sigh*
I'm so tired. And there's always so much to freaking do.
On a better note, I have ASL tonight, and I'm especially excited because my nails are done, so now my hands will look pretty when I'm signing [/geek]. And tomorrow I'm going to a global warming convention for most of the day. So as long as I get through the English and Web Design homework (!?!) tonight without dying...
I can't believe I left right after school today. I never get to do that. I might leave early tomorrow, too, because both of the girls I tutor aren't staying after school (though I just realized I might have to make up the tutoring I'm going to miss at the global warming thing...damn), and then Thursday I have to leave right away because I need a physical by Friday so I can play tennis. That makes me kind of sad, because Thursday's the last Amnesty meeting... but I guess it's also good, because I have a paper due on Friday that I haven't started yet. And I also have a Chem lab and math sheet due that day, which means I probably won't have slept much the night before...
Where the hell is summer??

[16 Apr 2007|06:17pm] |
I just cried my freaking eyes out. Seriously. They're not in my head anymore.
For some reason, the book club moderator suggested we read A Corner of the Universe for our last meeting. Allison lent it to me today, and it's more of a children's/young adult's book, so I've just finished it. I missed Ann M. Martin (I used to love The Baby Sitters Club: Little Sisters Series.
Though now, I am also missing my eyes.
I don't feel like cooking and cleaning and baking and doing homework. I just want to sit here and sniffle now. :p

*major happy hugs to teh Ari*
I've finally finished the lovely 100-question chem packet.
Am now being killed by logarithms! I DON'T GET IT!!!! *pulls hair out*
Then I have to study for my Latin and Chem tests tomorrow. I'm really annoyed about the Latin one because it's a grammar test, and we haven't done much grammar at all this year. We didn't do any actual Latin for at least the past month. The last two classes, we watched the fucking Gilmore Girls in class ('Concert Interruptus,' because I had the DVD for my AP project, and my teacher didn't want to do anything after presentations ended)! And we don't have a textbook this year, don't have any recent notes on the test topics, so I have to hunt around the Internet to learn these grammatical constructions.
And then I always screw up every Chem quiz I take. Chemistry and Algebra II are in constant competition for being my lowest grade.
Bah.
Any Aussies on my f-list?

Still haven't started my work yet. I've been attempting to start since 11 a.m. *rolls eyes at self*
Instead, I was reading an e-book about become a vegetarian. When we were in D.C., I kept walking up the humongous escalators while the rest of my group stood and waited on them for the hours it takes for one to reach ground level. Yesterday when I was waiting for them I picked up a PETA-sponsored magazine about becoming a vegetarian.
I wanted to become a vegetarian when I was younger, but my parents wouldn't let me. I've gotten so used to meat. I have meat almost every single day. Lately, I've been trying to limit my beef intake, for environmental purposes.
But I really disagree with the slaughterhouse practices of meat companies. I love animals, and I can't understand how I can eat them. I'm also trying to live in a manner that's more environmentally-friendly.
But it's going to be really hard changing my diet, and my dad will be pissed. I was just about to eat yogurt when I noticed that there's gelatin in it. I was eating cheese when I read that sometimes hooves and horns are used while making it.
I think I'm going to start trying to limit the meat intake. I haven't had any for two days, but the day before that I had chicken, and the day before that I had turkey and beef. I think I'd have a lot of trouble becoming a vegan, but for now, I think I'm going to start trying to stop eating meat.
Okay. WORK. NOW.

Just got to the hotel. I seem to be getting Internet, so, woo hoo (for real this time)!!!
They played Akeelah and the Bee on the bus, and that was a very nice distraction. I less than three that movie incredibly. But then the distraction ended and I had a nice anxiety-ridden two hour ride after that.
The bus stopped in Silver Spring, first, and it was really pretty there.
And on the train from the bus station to the hotel, there was a really cute guy, and we kept looking at each other, and at first I thought he pickpocketed me, but now I don't think so anymore, because I have my iPod and phone and money. He was really cute.
*unpacks*

I'm leaving for Washington, D.C. in less than an hour (five hour bus trip--woo hoo). I don't know if I'll have Internet at the hotel, so, goodbye my loves! Keep your eyes peeled for the smoke signals and fruit baskets, and hope that I didn't forget to pack anything!

| She hath baked! |
[07 Apr 2007|08:49pm] |
Finally finished baking. Turns out that I did have baking soda all along, but I didn't have confectioner's sugar, so I wound up having to go to the store any way.
Now I've got a huge mess to clean. I've got flour and sugar and all that other crap all over me. And my finger looks like ( this )
The icing for my lemon cake tastes terrible. It's so sour. I'm hoping that the taste will be somewhat deflected by the cake and the other frosting. The middle of the cake also sunk in, so I had to make it look like I did that on purpose, and turned it into a flower cake. Then all sorts of problems ensued with the purple icing, so now it kind of looks like it was done by either a kindergartener, or a drag makeup artist...
( Cake )
I also took pictures of two of the eggs I colored yesterday. The first is the Gryffindor one for my grandmother... It's not very elaborate, but I think she'll get the picture.
The second is my favorite one, for my neighbor Kristen. It's all pastel-y and fun. :p And then the rest of the eggs I colored came out horrificly ugly. *nods*

And how cute was Andy with his arm around Mardy?? I wish I'd gotten that on tape. They're adorable.
I almost missed work today. I completely disregarded my alarm clock. Ooops.
My mom keeps thinking I'm my younger sister on the phone. *pouts*
I really need some damned baking soda... I guess I can go on the treadmill until my mom gets home with some.

I forgot to mention that today is also the anniversary of the beginning of the Rwandan genocide.
We (Amnesty) decided to make this month genocide-themed because of that. Our Darfur assembly went so well. A lot of people want to join Amnesty and buy Save Darfur shirts (we've got those awesome sweatshirts), and some people cried, and people were actually paying attention. And they were affected. So we definitely succeeded in our awareness campaign.
We (Student Council) are doing a fundraiser for part of the action... But I have a few more things I think we can do in Amnesty for that, as well. I'm really hoping that we get to show Darfur Diaries, and there's one more thing I think we should do... But I won't say anything yet, because I don't want to jinx it. Oh, and of course, we'll have an Urgent Action.
I really don't understand how we're still letting things like the Darfur genocide occur. I really don't.
But I'm so glad that I'm finding ways to do things, even if they're really mediocre. I'm still kind of shocked that my Student Council relief committee is working.. It kind of makes me wonder what I want to do when I get older. I mean, I'm starting to get pretty invested in world affairs. I care about human rights. I care about poverty, I want to stop AIDS. I live in the fucking Bronx. There's so many things that can be changed here. But...I don't know how.
Right now, I'm thinking about double major-ing in communications and environmental science, so I can write in magazines about the changing global environment (because I'm starting to care a lot more about that, as well). But sometimes I wonder if I should do something totally different...
On a side note, I really hope I get elected co-president of Amnesty again next year. Amnesty positions have always been appointed in the past, but Allison and I don't see how we can call ourselves Amnesty and not have elections.

I got my computer fixed! It had a virus and was missing from me for almost 24 hours, and I felt completely incapacitated.
Tennis was yummy today. I hate that I have to root for Blake during Davis Cup, but he actually played well today. He actually won his match. And then my Andy was totally pretty, of course. He had some really pretty shots in his match today.
I just spent nearly $30 on iTunes... I am tres excited, but also tres poor.
Mmm...then we colored eggs... I made a cool Gryffindor one for my grandma. And now I have to do some homework, because we're leaving for D.C. on Monday (I'm going with three of my friends and my mom to tour Georgetown, American, Catholic, and George Washington).
Of course I have no desire to work, but... I'm sure I'll find some way to procrastinate until everyone goes to sleep and I absolutely have to focus. Tomorrow I have work, and then I'm going to bake banana bread and lemon cake. Hopefully. I've never baked a cake from scratch before, never made my own icing before, and I lost my old banana bread recipe.
I cannot spell the word banana. And the only thing I think of when I think "banana" is "Maria Sharapova." Spell check is god.
Meh. Turns out I can spell it correctly. It just doesn't look right.
Also... I'm officially on the Draco/Harry bandwagon. Oi.

Sitting here, desperately trying to finish my Gatsby essay, I just had an unnerving thought:
Where the Valley of Ashes once was, Arthur Ashe Stadium is now.
