Testing, testing...
Cheesy subject, I know. Couldn't resist. I was inspired by the Verbal part of our test today, and made up some analogies of my own.

Mother Theresa : Sr. Daniel Mary :: strawberry Pocky : 3-month-old creamed spinach with raisins and greenish bacon bits

Flowery teddy-bear girly-girl pink : blindingly bright hot pink :: Marian : me ...or Lisa

Cut : Lizzie McGuire novels :: Vampire Hunter D : Legally Blonde

having my homework : smile :: doing my homework : cry

taking a hot shower : steamy fruity-smelling goodness :: getting out of the shower into the 30-degree bathroom : a poke in the eye

And my favorite away message note added to the last analogy: "And if that conjures dirty images into your mind, I'll be killing you when I get out. Have a nice day!" ...Except I took the shower already. Oh well. So much for a nice cliche!

GOOD MORNING EVERYBODY! -_O
Well WHEEHAY! No, I'm not that happy, just a little overwhelmed. If you are disappointed I don't answer comments much anymore, it's because I can't think of anything to say. >_< School has stolen my once-intelligance and turned it into time management and organization junk. For all the good that'll do me.
ANYWAY! On to the point. My dad got a bloggy! ^_^ If you want you can go see it. It's written with very large words that would normally confuse me if I hadn't eaten breakfast, and he's RPing, basically, as a character from something I can't remember, probably Gilbert and Sullivan. He mentions me, and apparently I've got an evil twin. In't that cool? Yes, yes it is. Always nice to have someone new to blame stuff on. So yeah. If you are interested PLEASE check it out; he doesn't have comments turned on because often on other blogs he's seen them turn into shouting matches and such. I'll see if I can figure out how to get some kind of counter or something up... Right! So there's your advertisement of the day!
End note: I got Shutterbox. It rules all. Hot guy on the cover, turns out he was an excellent student but killed himself, we don't know why. How neat is that? I mean, seeing as he's sort of alive still...

"King of the Jungle", that show on Animal Planet hosted by Jeff Corwin. I get sick watching that show. Whenever the people do badly in a performance, I feel for them wholeheartedly.
I thought I liked acting. Apparently I was wrong. I took acting camps for a few years and they always ended up making me agonize over my embarrassments for the rest of the year, but I just kept going. Truth is, I'm a horrible actress. Especially improv. Improv makes me want to throw up whenever I have to do it. It's just terrible. Painful. It's not the embarrassment, it's the criticism. I'm pretty bad at taking criticism.
So I'm just constantly reminded of this whenever I watch that show. Yes. I hope you all had fun reading about the specific little miseries of my life, however insignificant they may be. I doubt you did, but at least they're off my chest now. Maybe I should put warnings on posts that are made up mostly of complaints...

I've realized something over the past few days. I spend almost all my time on myOtaku, but I never seem to vsit anyone's site anymore. Either I get caught up IMing people or I just get restless, but there are lots of people I haven't visited in a long time. I'm sorry. I'd make it up to you if I didn't feel strangely apathetic right at this moment. Hopefully it'll wear off by the end of the day and I'll do the rounds after school.
I have resigned myself to school today, and somehow in the process stopped caring enough to really complain or do anything about any problems. I couldn't get to the Lean Pockets because they were underneath several large cookie boxes, so I just left them there and decided to have just a soda... for breakfast. (I was going to have milk, but the milk was stuck behind a large pot in the fridge.) >_- Don't worry, I got my food. But this is sort of to explain my feeling right now. I just don't really care about fixing anything, or solving anything, whatever the benefit. I think I should've gone to bed earlier instead of watching "King of the Jungle" when I didn't really want to. More to say on that this afternoon.

   The curse of the neverending hiccups
Had another Thanksgiving dinner, sort of. We had a this huge turkey someone from my mom's work gave us, so we had to eat it at some point, so we invited my maternal grandparents over and we had what felt to me like more of a Thanksgiving dinner than the other one. Except this time around I got a stomach ache and couldn't eat very much.
That chemical in turkey, triptophane--or whatever, it really works. I feel really tired, really sleepy, sort of sick. Like I'm hungover or something, except a) I don't know what that's like and b) it's probably worse. I have a nasty case of hiccups, which are not just annoying little sounds and jumps to me. They hurt. A lot. And they make my teeth go on edge and my ears pop.
I seem to be in a complaining mood. Hiccups will do that to me. Hiccups and tiredness.
I taught my dad a little about html earlier. Conner left at 8 so I never saw him leave (I was sound asleep until maybe 10 when my parents left for brunch at Copeland's). We also decorated our Christmas tree. We got a really nice tree this year, nice shape. All our Christmas decorations are up now, the Nativity scene, the fence decorations, the wreath, the tree. The house smells beautiful now.
I lost my favorite grey scrunchie. My black one is messed up too. I might have to start wearing color in my hair. *gasp* We have school tomorrow. What joy. And on Tuesday, high school placement tests. This is going to be a fun week... T_T

Happy Sunday!
Conner just went to bed. We ended up watching my tapes Yugioh together. I'm currently really pissed at Anzu because she was absolutely no help at all during Jounouchi-kun's duel, as usual. She'd be a good cheerleader if she actually had any brain at all, no matter how small. Unfortunately, she doesn't, so we all hate her even more than we would if she was a ditzy cheerleader (adjective not meant to be redundant; some cheerleaders are pretty damn cool, like my friend Tassia).
So yes. Go to lit rebel if you want details on today's happenings with cousins and friends. I'm a little too tired to really think through it at all.
I ate turkey. Lots of turkey. Very very good turkey. My mom makes the best turkey ever. The thing is, most people overcook it, so it's all dry and desperately needs gravy, but she leaves it moist and yummy. ^_^ She also makes the best hot chocolate. What I think she does is she mixes power chai mix with hot chocolate mix and hot milk in a blender, so it's frothy and spicy and warm and chocolatey and awesome.
I think I missed good food. The diet is leading me to stop following a strict dinner schedule because of the weird things my parents tend to have as their meals, so I end up eating ramen and lean pockets half the time. But it's winter, so we get all the good food now. Mmm, all the flavorful things. No more tomatoes and cucumbers and seafood and such bland things.
I think I really love to talk about food; unfortunately, I'm exhausted and going to bed now. (12:16 AM)

MEEF!
O_o OK. Conner is indeed coming over, and we're having the cookie-decorating party (it's actually a lot of fun with all the funky decorations we have, including edible glitter, cow-shaped sprinkles, and metallic icing colors) at 1 tomorrow. Hopefully we'll have time to hang out afterwards.
My present of the day: a box of tissues. What fun.
I need to find that manga, Shutterbox. I see ads for it and they say it's out already, but I can't find it anywhere! T_T Surprisingly the ads are in GL magazine, one of my least favorite subsriptions. It's so... girly-girly. Blech. Shonen Jump is much better. ^_^
So, I'm off to sleep... Not really, but I'll just pretend. I'm so tired, for reasons unknown. Has my sleeping pattern been messed up again?

   Weeeell, crap
All right, it turns out that suddenly Conner... isn't coming over this weekend at all. His siblings are in town so he's staying home with them. v_v
On the plus side, for me at least, Shonen Jump finally came and I got my super-tight special edition REBD. It' so pretty... ^_^
And, well, other than that, I've been in bed all day. No idea why, just felt really tired. But now I'm awake! I'm still too lazy to change out of my pajamas though. This is one good thing about not having Conner over--I can walk around in my PJs all day and nobody really cares. No weird dreams, thankfully, just some fairly normal ones I can't remember, possibly about Kurt from X-Men Evolution. Like I said, I don't remember much. The goldfish says goodbye for now.

   WHEE! That's right, WHEE!
I can see my new layout now (thank the heavens), and it is really amazing. Let's just stare at it now...
~half an hour later~
Hnh? Oh, right, like I said, Thanksgiving was completely uneventful, except that I managed to beat Lumis and Umbra and some other Rare Hunter and got through another target week... And got beaten by Joey for the first time! I don't know how it happened, but he was so nice about it... I think he's the nicest opponent on that game. They've got him being all sympathetic and laid-back...
My dad, no surprises here, doesn't like my Gravi music much. I think he's just a little too wrapped up in his own little perfect world. In other words, he's close-minded. What did I expect?
Yes, now to the point of this post: I have successfully cheered up. I don't know if it was gingerbread men, my mom, the new layout, Conner coming over tomorrow (he'll stay all weekend), or the fact that there's very little time remaining until Nick returns, but I'm happy. Happy happy happy. If I wrote a poem now, it would make you all puke because of the mushiness. So I won't. I'll just sit back and enjoy my vacation before high school entrance exams on Tuesday... Ah. ^_^
