Haul it back.

Comment Commentary

Shin- I don't blame you. This was a three-episode 99-cent compilation thing from some third party that you'll never hear about. We also got a Beverly Hillbillies one.. They couldn't get rights to the main theme song, and they had to overdub it.

Solo- We made elaborate snow-doodles with our fingers on the backs of cars, though. I did the Mona Lisa on some random Civic in the mall parking lot.

Azure- If I had a lot of time on my hands, I would either Photoshop or draw an image where the camera looks as if it's planted in the guy's face, replacing his eyes and stuff. But that's just my hopeless creative drive talking.

I haven't been in a very good mood today, for a few reasons. I'll be brief, because we all hate people who whine and moan about how much their lives suck on blogs.

REASON ONE: Grades? What the hell? I'm Nick, I haven't gotten under a 4.0 GPA in under four years. LOOK AT THE SIDEBAR. Oh well, these things happen. My main problem right now is in English- I forgot to finish this big workbook assignment a week or two back. I did not know it was worth so many points. Bad grade for Nick. Also, I forgot this grammar booklet last week, and when I finally recovered it and turned it in, she decides to not count it, because it's over a week old.

This rounds out to about a 69.7% in that class. Go, me.

I'm managing low A's in science and math (Again, because of botched / forgotten work), and I'm doing fine in Phys Ed, History and Art.

"And they all care.. Why?"

REASON TWO: Social life. Hah, like I even have much of one. It's been more of the same problems for the past few weeks, and I'm not about to repeat them again, but I'm hoping this all shows some sort of resolution soon. I'm tired of it.

REASON THREE: Fatigue. I never get enough sleep. I think, on average, I get about.. Five hours a night, at most. At night my mind gets too filled up with ideas for drawings, stories, and stuff like that, and I find it hard to calm myself down and just pass out. This makes the first two periods of the day my fight-the-nappy-time time.

REASON FOUR: Death in the family. I think I've only met this person once, but I've heard a lot about this person, and the rest of my family is devistated by her death. Like so many people on my dad's side of the family, it was because of breast cancer. My parents were going to fly out to Kentucky (or wherever these people live) for a couple days, spontaneously, but I guess that's not happening. Oh well, she's better off.

REASON FIVE: People. [/angst] People can be such stupid assholes sometimes. The primal urges to hurt those who offend me are showing up more and more often recently, but I write or draw to suppress them. How horribly Jhonen of me.

REASON SIX: My mom seems to think I do drugs at my friend's house every day after school. She has this idea that I have thi weird smell on me every time I come from his house. The truth is, that guy's house just smells funny. Get over it.

REASON SEVEN: Uh.. Actually, I'm out. I had a more organized list earlier, released to one specific person, but that period of time was a blur. I'm pretty sure this wasn't interesting to read, anyway.

Things will get better. The grades will even out, assuming I don't slack off, I'll gather my fragments of a social life and sort them out, and so on and so forth.

I finished 2001: A Space Odyssey over the weekend, and I took the AR test today. I finally reached my required number of points, so that's one less thing to worry about, I guess. As for the book itself, the ending was definitely the best part, and it made me want to see the movie. I also recognized five or so different references from other forms of entertainment (Futurama), so that's cool.

I haven't had much time for games the past couple days. I haven't made any progress in Resident Evil 4, or any other game with goals, for that matter. The Sims 2 has been my way of zoning out. In that, however, I have made substantial progress, though my Sims are sterile or something. They've tried for a baby three times, but nothing's happened. I've considered adopting, but I want to see the mixing of the genes.

I leave you now with this image, an immortal monument to my dry sense of racial humor.

Keep in mind that not all of my town looks like this. o_O

EDIT: This is.. One of those things.
