   Fixage.
IT'S A SNOW DAY!!! BUSES ARE CANCELLED! WOOHOO!
And what am I doing? Well, I'm sitting here and typing, aren't I?
Well I removed that quiz result, and it seems to have fixed everything... But now it's not there because I removed it. And I wanted to keep it. But I'm not really good with HTML and I'm too lazy to take the course. I learned a bit when I was like 8, but I forget it all now. So I'm mostly just a cut-and-paste-er. But at least I've memorized the hex colour for maroon- 990033. It's weird. My favourite colour is purple, but I tried that on here and it looks really ugly.

Aside from that... I made a great little comic -have I mentioned it before? I always forget- called "The Adventures of Super-Ed", but it's too big for my scanner! I think they have a bigger one at the school, so I might be able to use it...But they'll want to know what I need it for and then they won't let me. There's also one at the library, but you have to pay to use it. It might be only 20 cents, but it might be alot more. I forget. I've decided not to draw The Silenced until I get some actual professional manga markers and pens. I've been using mechanical pencils and Crayola junk, aside from the precious few solid-color pencil crayons I do have. So it'll be a while, folks. I've decided on a name for the gypsy girl. I'm gonna name all the gypsies after stars. I was looking at a starchart yesterday because my brother had to find Polaris outside for his science homework and I was helping, and I remembered that a lot of the names from Harry Potter come from stars. Regulus, Arcturus, Sirius, Andromeda, Bellatrix... The Empress has wisely suggested that I use a name with "ell" in it, so right there we've got Bellatrix. But I don't want to use the EXACT same names as HP, so I was thinking of using Capella instead. But I don't really know all the legends that go with the stars, so that might actually be a guy's name. Does anybody know? I also decided that she has lots of sisters, and also lives with lots of other gypsies who are basically but not biologically her sisters, and I'm definitely naming one of them Andromeda. I think that's an awesome name.
I've been testing out my watercolour pencils lately. They're great. I like making desert scenes...So the yellow pencil is a lot smaller than the other ones. In school we're about to start -yet another- huge project, this time in the form of group newspapers. GROUPS. Ohh, how I hate group work. They just better let me be the editor and the cartoonist. Actually, I just know they'll put me in a group with either Blake, James, Nicholas, Jake or Duncan, all of which I hate, and they'll probably contribute nothing but crap and make me do all the work. But that's what I usually do anyway... and I do love writing. I got a 95 in it on my report card. In gym we're doing the annual dance unit. AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!! SWING DANCE LESSONS. IN PARTNERS. But at least nobody's FORCING us to dance with guys. That's probably only because there aren't enough to go around. And it's still better than doing hiphop last year.
This year we'll at least have half-decent music. But swing dancing involves lifting people. I can't lift anybody...and nobody who I'm willing to touch can lift me. The only people who probably could are Jake and Blake (heh, it rhymes!), but I'm not dancing with them. Never. Ever. It's not like they'd ever ask me anyway... which is good. There are benefits to being a geek.
