Ugh, how many times can I stick my foot in my mouth at once? A few days ago, I posted an entry supporting Kell upon the creation of the Hogsmeade Adoption Center, which allows you to adopt Harry Potter sprites, similar to Kell’s sprite adoption centre on Astronomy Domine. It turns out that the HAC is run by Taylor. Ye gods, how stupid can I get? ::kicks self::
NO WAY! ::flails:: My Moulin Rouge CD got scratched somehow! Now there’s a really evil skip in the middle of Complainte de la Butte, which was one of my favourite songs. ::simmers in her irritation:: Thank god for Kazaa. I’m sure someone will have it available. I’ve got to burn my “Meilleure du Moulin” CD sometime soon. How about tonight? Sounds great, self.
Elfwood updated my gallery. The new Malfoy picture is there. Yay!
Today I met with Mr. Dubsky, the Math chair at my school, to try to switch from regular Pre-Cal to Honors Pre-Cal. I think it went really well. Unfortunately, my schedule wouldn’t allow me to switch, but instead Mr. Dubsky is going to give me a math independent study! Yay! Mr. Dubsky is so cool; I wish I had him in 9th grade for AAA Geometry. ::does a groovy dance:: Also, when I was cleaning out one of my desk drawers, I found my Mucha note card thingies. I’d been looking for those since Spring Break! All in all, a good day.
I’m working on a new blog layout. So far, it looks fabulous. And I haven’t decided that I hate it yet, which is always a good sign.
My mom and I decided to be impulsive last night. She came into my room with a newspaper, saying “You wanted to see Jurassic Park 3, right?” I nodded affirmatively. “Well there’s a showing at the Cinemark in five minutes. Shall we?” she asked. I grinned. Fifteen minutes later, we were in our seats, waiting for the silly previews to be over. We got there just in time! All in all, it was a highly amusing film. The CG was excellent and the plot was amusing. I particularly loved Alan’s comment at the end of the movie: “God bless you, Ellie”. My alterego especially enjoyed it. Now I’ve just got to go back and watch the other two!
Oy. I’ve got some fires to put out. Yesterday, I posted that terrible rant about how fed up I was with Fiction Alley without considering the repercussions. I said things I shouldn’t have said and called them names behind their back. Stupid decision. It turns out Phil reads my blog. Now I feel awful, because it turns out that the graphics Taylor made were only temporary placeholders. No one was trying to usurp my position; Phil just needed graphics with the correct size/shape/composition/etc. to put in place when finalizing the AA layout. Ugh, I feel like such a heel. Even worse, I attacked Taylor when she hadn’t done anything wrong! She obviously put an enormous amount of work into those graphics, just so she could help Phil in my absence. Ugh, I should never post anything in my weblog before I know the whole story. I should have emailed the other FAMods from the start, calmly stating my stance on the matter, to give them a chance to explain the full story. So if any of you guys are reading this, please consider this a full apology for my actions yesterday. Chalk it up to my crazy teenage judgement.
Woo! I forgot! Yesterday, I wore my Percy Is God and Boba Fett shirt to registration and everyone loved it! Just about everyone I saw came up to me at one point and asked (1) That shirt is so cool! (2) I want one! How did you get it? or (3) What the hell does that mean? I was amused. Expect a lot of business in the future, Tanja. And I think there’s a big market for a shirt that says “Hoopy Frood” on it.
Also yesterday, some of the Jets (Nancy, me, Mackenzie, and Chungy) got together to see a movie. It was quite an adventure! Here’s the story:
After picking up our schedules and school books, we sat around, waiting for Nancy to pick us up. When we saw her, it completely blew my mind. She had spent the last 9 weeks at fat camp (bah), but she lost over 30 pounds. However, she looked fantastic. She’s so thin! Yowza. Anyway, we had to stop by Jesuit first so that I could lend my copy of Mort (in play version) to Mrs. Felice for consideration for the Spring play. Chungy came with me. Because we didn’t have much time, we ran through the school, catching the attention of dozens of Jesuit guys sitting pointlessly in the hallway. One pack of them whistled. Chungy and I were amused. We left the book outside her office, then ran back. The same group of guys said “Hey, you want to come back here?” in a rather pathetic voice, making Chungy and I laugh hysterically. We were still giggling when we piled back into the Nancymobile.
Next, we went to Fun Fest for Lazertag. Of course, it never occured to us that we would be the only ones there. We ended up in a game of 2-on-2 (me and Chungy vs. Nancy and Mackenzie), which was highly amusing, as we spent the game chasing each other in the same order. I chased Nancy, who chased Chungy, who chased Mackenzie. In the first part of the game, my gun wasn’t working so I had to go back into the equiptment room and switch vests. The sad thing was, at the end of the game, when we retrieved our scores, Chungy had hit Mackenzie so many times that Mackenzie’s score was worse than the score of my original vest. I had just been hit; I hadn’t hit anyone. And Mack’s score was lower. Poor girl! ::hugs Mack:: Anyway, Chungy creamed us all, which stands to reason as she was the only one who had never played Lazertag before. Beginner’s luck. Anyway, after that, it was off to the movies!
The movie of choice was Rush Hour 2. On the way over, we stopped for slushies at 7-11 (Chungy insisted on taking pictures wherever we went), then waited in the video arcade at the theatre until the movie started. There were only three other people in the entire theatre, and we were in one of the huge screening rooms. Score! Anyway, Chungy and I spent a great deal of time debating over who was cooler: Jackie Chan or Chris Tucker. I was firmly in favor of Jackie Chan. Oh well. The movie was hilarious (I reccomend whole-heartedly), so you should definitely go see it. My favourite moment was probably when Li and the girl kissed. This is because anything remotely romantic sends Chungy into spaz mode. She was cowering in her seat, covering her face with her hands. “Nothing wrong with kissing”, Nancy said. I expressed my agreement and kissed the top of her head, which sent her to further degrees of spazzing. We all laughed and mocked her a great deal. I can’t wait until I show her my RENT boot!
And so that’s my story. Rather ineloquent, but it will do. What’s yours?
Ooh! Blogger turned two! How cute! ::schnoogles Blogger:: Also, Sannali started her blog today! How cute that Blogger and Tuppence have the same birthday. ::canned audience “Awww”::
Nancy leaves for college tomorrow. Chad, too. I need a hug.
