Superliminal Messages- HEY YOU! JOIN THE NAVY!
This myOtaku has exactly 1,666 visits. Interesting.

Anyway, I didn't bother with editing that last post. May as well start with a new one, eh?

This was the last full week of school for us. We still have Monday and Tuesday, but I don't think everyone's going to show up. I'm going to be there, though- I still don't know if I'm ever going to see these people or not. I'm going to try and enjoy every second of it.

Except for Monday's supposed to be the second day of the year in which the graduating students do their random-beatings of seventh graders. One friend of mine got attacked last time (Friday the Thirteenth), but my mom kept me out of school, so I didn't have to worry about that last time.

But whatever. I'll hide in my English teacher's room at lunch, assuming she doesn't decide to kick us all out, and I'll just rush out of the school at the end of the day. There shouldn't be a real threat, but you never know.

The yearbooks came in on Monday or Tuesday, and I must say, it was quite a waste of time on my part. I was there fixing typos and setting up pages for an hour after school every day, all alone in that cold little room, and the teacher's daughter is in charge of doing.. The rest of the stuff. And she has no sense of design.

She resized the art for the art page, and it turned out like pixelated crap. You can't tell what most of it is. I have no idea what she did wrong, but it's depressing. All of the art's very small, too. She wanted to mix the poetry and art pages together, "So we can have more signature pages! ^.^".

God dammit, I wasted at least 60 hours this year working on this thing when I could have been.. Um.. Doing something else.

Whoa, Ronald Reagan is dead? Seriously? Why didn't I see it on the news? Oh, I guess there are more important things out there, and we shouldn't dwell on one's death.

..My God, will they ever shut up about it? 75% of the KTLA Evening News was Reagan for three days straight- I thought I would get relief when the sports segment came about, but they just had to plaster him all over that as well.

Don't get me wrong, Reagan was a good man, and a president. But one of the men who spoke at the funeral said the following (Though I am heavily paraphrasing): "He was not just a figurehead, but an American." If he, like all of us, was just another American, why won't I get my funeral to be nationally televised?

...

And I'm sure I've made quite a few people angry just now. Don't hurt me.

I don't have too much to look forward to over the weekend. We're going down to San Diego to clear out my grandmother's house, and we'll be bringing her hardly used 25" flatscreen television and her DVD Player back to our house, because my dad technically bought it, so he gets it now that she's dead.

As greedy as it sounds, I've been trying to figure out a place to put our old, smaller television in my room. I was, and still am, hardly phased by her death. As far as I'm concerned, she was dead on Christmas Eve when she stopped being her old self.

..Wow, I have a twisted opinion on death.

EDIT: You want this MP3. No, you need it.
