Sweet, I'm #100
I'm almost afraid to celebrate in any way, lest I jinx myself and be sent back to popularity page three. =p

Now, for the meaning behind the madness, the solution of the shapes, the unannounced annunciation of the arduously illustrated assemblages!

Here goes....

The Square represents Security.

The Circle represents Love.

The Asterix represents Money.

The Quadrilateral represents Creativity.

The Exclamation Point represents Intelligence.

The Poorly Represented Grapes represent Food.

The Triangle represents Power.

The Z With a Line Through It represents Sex.

Now, take a look at your answers again, in this other perspective. ~_^

AFTER, you read the rest of the post, of course. =p

Last night and today were a mesh of stress. :o I had two English essay questions due to be answered and handed in today, as well as an extended outline of my paper, which is due next week. (The paper is due next week, not the outline)

I stayed up until after 12 last night (a rarity nowadays, surprisingly) working on the two essays. I didn't work on anything else, because I couldn't work on anything else. The essays needed to get done. They were my top priority. The only thing was, I couldn't focus! :0!

I knew what I wanted to write about. I knew where I could find the information to support it. I had a general idea of how even to word it. I simply could not make myself sit down and write. Yu-Gi-Oh cards were picked up and sorted through. MyOs were visited. Frequent trips to the bathroom and to the water cooler were made. I expressed on several occasions my inability to focus to anybody who would listen.

Eventually, I forced myself to work at it. It was late, and I was tired. My thinking wasn't incredibly great by that time, so the essays I turned out were subpar. But, I do think that they answered the question being asked. A passing grade is likely, and would be appreciated. >.>

Then today, during my Off period, I did my Pre-Calculus homework that hadn't gotten done last night. That took me most of the period. For the tail end of the period, I was typing away furiously in the library. My outline was a little more than half done when the bell rang and I had to leave. I came back at lunchtime and finished it up with just enough time to get to the cafeteria for a quick bite to eat.

And when I say a quick bite, I mean a quick bite for me, not some average eating-speed person. :p

So, my homework was done in time for the classes the assignments were due in. All except French, unfortunately. Mr. Ayres is forgiving, though, and will most likely accept the late work. Reduced grade or no, it's still better than not turning in my English outline or essays. That would have been rather disastrous.

Somehow I managed to survive the rest of the school day. *enthusiastic applause*

I stayed after school today to watch a soccer game, but it didn't start until 3:45. So, I wandered around a bit, hooking up with various friends at different intervals. I followed Matt to the office where he signed up for Fencing. Then I went to the library and talked to Tom and Ryan about Magic. After Tom left, Ryan and I played a 40-life game. I was using one of his decks, and he obviously used the other. Heh. I haven't played Magic for a while, and never particularly well, but I still managed to beat him. :D

The soccer game was moderately awful, as far as performance goes. Our JV girls team lost to Waterford 7-0. Or maybe 6-0. Something like that. Some of the JV team's best players were off playing in another game for Varsity, which really left the JV team lacking in substitute players. The Waterford team had an abundance of extra players, including one that I actually knew. ^_^

I heard someone shout "Hey!" and say my name over by the Waterford bench. I briefly glanced over, and when my eyes got her into focus, I immediately recognized the girl and her name burst into my consciousness. Melissa. ^_^ Heh, she'd been in my class at Sacred Heart for many, many years. It was actually pretty neat to see her and talk to her again after about three years. ^_^

When the game ended, I picked up my stuff and followed after Christina and Victoria as they collected their belongings from in the school. Victoria's dad drove Christina home and then dropped me off at my house.

I ate something for dinner and fiddled with my computer a bit. The Internet wasn't working for some reason, but apparently I fixed it. So, yeah.

After I was done eating, I weighed myself on the scale in my parents' room. (It's said that you shouldn't measure yourself after eating, as you'll obviously weigh a bit more when you've just entered something into your system.) Strangely enough, I weighed 198.5 lbs. That's sixteen and a half pounds less than what I weighed before I started cutting down on carbohydrates and taking supplements.

Cool, heh. ^_^
