Can't Visit Sites, Food, Midterms, Quizlla

Sorry guys, I don't think I'll be able to visit your sites this weekend. We're visiting a friend of the family for a Superbowl party. *sigh* Since I don't follow football it's going to be pretty boring for me. >_<

On the bright side, I'm going to get to experiment with cooking, and I'm going to make the desert. I found a recipe called... where is my recipe? *goes off to ransack house* I found it! -^^- What I want to make is called "Rasberry Trifle" it looks really tasty. It's made by layering lady finger, rasberry, jam, and whipped cream with mint and almonds on top. It'll be something different and special. I'm running into some trouble with this idea though. I want to do something special and nice to celebrate, even if I don't follow football.

But what desert does popular demand want? Brownies, ice cream, chocolate chip cookies... Something you can just buy at the store, and is just so common, unoriginal, and stereotypical! They just never appreciate it when I try to do something special. How is it that every time I try to do something nice, they complain about it? T-T Everything (meaning not just food) they want is so stereotypical! Oh well, I'll make them a chocolate cake if they really want it.

In other news, I got my midterms back. From memory, here are my grades in order from lowest to highest (we don't get to keep the test)

• English: 96% Highest grade in the class. But then again most of the kids in my particular class of maybe 20 kids either really suck at English, or don't care. So maybe it's not so great.
  
• Chemistry Honors: 94% Mr L said that in the class 94 was the highest grade, and that only 6 people got this grade. I'm not sure if he was talking about my particular class, or class as in all people takign Chem H with Mr L. Either way, I'm really proud of this grade! -^^-
  
• Spanish: 87% I was happy about this grade, since I suck at spanish. When my teacher said that I was improving.
  
• Global History: 87% Yeah, same grade as my spanish test. I'm not so happy about this one though, because I'm better at history than that. I think the essay I wrote came out rushed... so maybe that's part of the reason.
  
• Math: 83% My lowest grade. I was not happy with this grade. For starters, it's curved, so I actually scored lower. I understand math, and I had all my formulas right. But when I looked it over to see what I did wrong, there were all these little typos that throw off my answers by a lot. Like putting a decimal point in the wrong place or misreading my own handwring (XD) by thinking a (+) addition sign was a (x) multiplication cross. Meh... I hate geometry... and algebra... >_<
  
• Science Research: Haven't gotten my grade for this back yet, but I'm not concerned about this. It was an open note test, so I probably did really well. The midterm was really just a formality.
  

Well that's more or less it for my post today.

May the gods of sporks and insanity be with you always.

20. Should he ever write a letter to anyone, steal it, and decorate it with hearts and glitter. Then, somewhere in the middle, erase a sentence and put something like "I am ghandi." or "The mongeese shall rise again."

    1. Act like a dog, growl at people.
       
    2. Announce in a demonic voice, "I must find a more suitable host body...."
       
    3. Apply dripping red paint around the edge of the roof hatch. When someone enters, look upwards and whisper, "I think they want in..."
       
    4. Bring easy math flash cards on the elevator and ask the person next to you to help you study them (get them wrong).
       
    5. Call out, Group hug! and enforce it.
       
    6. Carry a blanket and clutch it protectively.
       
    7. Crack open your briefcase or purse, and while peering inside ask: Got enough air in there?
       
    8. Frown and mutter "gotta go, gotta go" then sigh and say "oops!"
       
    9. Give people lectures about the periodic table of elements
       
    10. Grimace painfully while smacking your forehead and muttering: "Shut up, dammit, all of you just shut UP!" (love this one... heh heh heh....)
        
    11. Have a picnic in the elevator.
        
    12. Hold the elevator door open and say youre waiting for your friend. After a while, let the doors close and say, Hi John, hows your day been?
        
    13. Hum the theme from Mission Impossible with yours eyes darting around the elevator. (this one works ANYWHERE)
        
    14. Hum the theme to Jeopardy
        
    15. Meow occasionally.
        
    16. Place police tape (CRIME SCENE DO NOT CROSS) on the inside of the doors.
        
    17. Play dead.
        
    18. Preach about the end of the world.
        
    19. Read a book upside down.
        
    20. Say, while holding a paper with OUT OF ORDER written on it, I wonder why this was glued on the door when I came in.
        
    21. Scribble furiously on a notepad while looking at each passenger. When they try to look, hide the pad.
        
    22. Shadow box.
        
    23. Stare at another passenger for a while, then announce Youre one of THEM! and move to the far corner of the elevator.
        
    24. When the elevator is silent, look around and ask, "Is that your beeper?"
        
    25. When theres only one other person on the elevator, tap them on the shoulder and pretend it wasnt you.
        
    26. Whistle the first seven notes of Its a Small World incessantly. (works beautifully, plus people are normally too polite to say anything)
        
    27. Sing: "I know a song that gets on everybody's nerve's, everybody's nerves, everybody's nerves, i know a song that gets on everybody's nerves and it goes like this!" to the tune of "camp town lady".....pause.....repeat....continually.
        
    
    
    Me and my friend ambi-chan agreed we have to try some of these out. Ambi-chan said that what she'd most likely do is "meow" at people. I would either do the "mission impossible" one or enforce a group hug. XD
