Contradictio in Terminis

Yesterday (Friday), I biked to work in the rain. There was dirt everywhere, including in my hair, wtf. So, I got out of the shower at work all nice and clean... and realized I'd forgotten my clothes at my desk. Because I am awesome. :/

But aside from that, Friday was good. Saw The Karate Kid with cherishedsaulie  and vexinglyverbose . OH, THAT MOVIE. ♥ IT WAS EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED: CUTE AND FUNNY, AND FULL OF CHEESY GOODNESS. (There is a soft spot in my heart for movies like this.) AND IT HAD JACKIE CHAN. I CANNOT ASK MORE THAN THAT. JACKIE CHAN IS KIND OF MY HERO BECAUSE HE IS SO AWESOME AND AND AND JUST. NO WORDS. *FLAILS* :D

So yeah, it was a ridiculously cute movie (Jaden Smith is about ten different kinds of adorable). I recommend it for those who will never truly outgrow the 9-12 age group.

After the movie, we went to Trevor's party. It was meh. People were already shitfaced by the time we got there, so Chloe and I stayed for a couple hours and then called it quits. We crashed at my house, and this morning, we made CHOCOLATE CHIP AND BLUEBERRY PANCAKES, OM NOM NOM NOM NOM.

Now, I'm just chilling. I've got work from 4:30-9:30 today, and then all day tomorrow.

OH AND I'm registered for my courses for next year! 3 different PSYC courses, 1 french lit course (not the one I really wanted, alas), and 1 intro to German course (because the Classics Department refused to let me into beginner Latin, arrrgh). Still, it should be fun. Oh man, I just realized that this is the longest I've gone without school in my life. Kinda scary.

1) Yay weekend!
2) Omfg I can't write essays to save my life. V.S. Naipaul, I know you're just doing this to fuck with us! Homework sucks.
3) It's a contradiction in terms: my life is full of epic boredom right now, but at the same time, I'm so busy it's crazy. WTF. No, scratch that. There are so many things I should be doing, it's crazy. I'm just. Not doing them ATM. Obviously.
4) I am grievously behind on both House and SPN (and MERLIN *tear*). This must be rectified! ...Eventually.

In other news:
T minus 5 days til legal adulthood. (And if that's not a scary thought, I don't know what is.)
T minus 2 days til "Decision Time Or Else". Status: Clueless. As always. Fuck me.

...my incipient mental breakdown, let me show you it.

I CAN'T DECIDE! Logically, I shouldn't even be complaining - oh would you shut the fuck up for once, I would like to post something on my journal without having to lambast myself first!

But on the whole, I think I should say that I am completely batshit excited for September, no matter where I end up.

Also, I have this urge to turn our bio lessons into sci fi snippets. C'mon, the nervous system? Homeostasis?

"Move quickly!" she said. "We must travel through the Forest of Dendrites to reach the Sacred Synapse! We've got to hurry, or else we'll be swept up the wave of depolarization as it strikes terror into the Axon with its evil minions, the S'Odiums!"
"You're right!" exclaimed Potas Sium beside her, "if we don't get the Pulsimay to the Synapse in time, the whole world of Neu'ron will be reset and we will become lifeless beings, unable to feel a thing! We must transmit this message!"
"Here," interrupted the strong and energetic NaK, "I'll hold the Depolarizer off as long as possible. You two just get to the Nodes of Ranvier as fast as possible! Tell Lord Ranvier--"
"Wait," she said, "Ranvier is real? I thought the Nodes were just a children's tale."
"No, they are certainly real," said NaK. "And very powerful. Through them, Lord Ranvier will use the magic of the Saltatrix Conductiva to speed your journey immensely. Tell him that you need Myelin's Sheath - he'll understand! Now go!"
"Goodbye NaK!" they cried as they turned and set out on their fantastic journey - to save the world of Neu'ron.


...Look, I never said the snippets would make sense.

( lists. they make the world go round )


...as I was typing this entry, I sometimes looked up, and I have realized that my Stumble messages have increased like clockwork, every three minutes or so. It's slightly disconcerting.

Um. Today. Yeah. Boring.

( white wine in the sun )

Ugh. Sometimes I think... as my brother would say, "I don't even know, man."

Today was horribly unproductive. It took me three hours to get through my math homework - and I only had a handful of questions. >.<
Got very little else done... needless to say, not feeling so hot right now.

Trip to McMaster U tomorrow for their fall preview day. It should be... interesting.

Sunday going over to C's to learn how to make phyllo pastries (IDK how to spell it), so that should be fun, if not terribly useful, concerning the MATH TEST OF DOOM I have on Monday.

Watched NMTB in lieu of doing Writer's Craft or Lit. homework. Awww, Simon, ILU. I miss Bill Bailey, though.

Today is the beginning of the end. Grade 12, last year of high school (barring any unforeseen circumstances). Gotta make it count.

I think.

David's in grade 9 this year, which is just fucking weird. I dropped him off today so he could pick up his schedule and get to homeform.
Got my own schedule; I have no homeform. Or, at least, no class, on account of a first period spare. Which is kind of nice.

I have to go rearrange my school stuff now. I don't know.
