in December 1st, 2009 @ 00:12Nice picture!
Those picture will be dancing in my mind for awhile. I always seem to see the background despite the coloration.
This reminds me of those pictures that can depict two things. Like the could be faces or a vase. Or it could be a young woman or an old woman.

in December 1st, 2009 @ 00:19Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh. You just had to make 4095 equal 23, didn’t you? After I’d decided it (happily) didn’t work? I’d not thought about the multiplying bit, just switching up numbers and adding/subtracting. Now you’re going to have me going back and reviewing all the numbers my brain already wrote off as not “working”. *headdeskheaddeskheaddeskheaddesk*

in December 1st, 2009 @ 00:31Sure, I suppose it is. You already have me scribbling all the birthdays of my immediate family members on the back of my organic chem notebook, as I frantically try to make them equal 23. And fail. 24 is the closest I get with any of ’em…..

in December 1st, 2009 @ 00:3624 seems to be my luck number. My birthday is on the 24th of the month and the digits add to 24. Of course, my birthday’s on the 24th and my sister’s is on the 22nd and you can take the arithmetic mean (I’m feeling math geeky)…

in December 2nd, 2009 @ 10:26I love you too, Luna. I’m geting a lot of things to work with 24. Maybe it’s because it has more factors. (Another way to make a number work is to add up factors, at least if you can factorize quickly.)

Luna the Lovely
in December 2nd, 2009 @ 01:58My sis and I watched a movie entitled “Number 23” over Thanksgiving break. It’s a horror/thriller type movie. This guy reads a book entitled “Number 23”, and starts noticing weird similarities to his own life, the number 23 cropping up everywhere: His birthday (Feb 23), his address (1418), the name of this dog he keeps seeing (Ned).
1418: 1+4+18 as well as 14+1+8
Ned: 14+5+4
Starting shortly into the movie, my brain started calculating out every number it could come up with that related to my life to see if it could make it equal 23. Ever since, I keep seeing the number 23 all over the place, as my brain takes every number it sees and tries to make it equal 23.
Yes, I’m insane. I don’t deny it at all.

Rebecca Lasley (Administrator)
in December 1st, 2009 @ 00:20That’s exactly it, it’s an exercise in figure-ground perception, a picture that switches depending on which part you see as foreground and which as background. It also happens to use symmetry.
In most figure-ground exercises see both images simultaneously, or at least that’s how I experience it. This one is especially weird because I see the composite figures, too (where one Muse merges with another — looks like the two outer figures are wearing parkas).

speller73
in December 1st, 2009 @ 00:31Very interesting. I don’t do art (at all), but from a scientific perspective, it’s quite intriguing.
Actually, in one of my classes this semester, we worked in partners to conduct some form of scientific research. One group researched the double-image pictures. Apparently, for most pictures, significantly more people see one of the intended images. However, males and females perceive them the same way.

in December 1st, 2009 @ 00:25oh this kind of picture always makes me unfocus my eyes until I feel quite loopy…like those other pictures where there’s a hidden image but you have to hold it close to your face (or far away?) to see it.
It’s great though!I can’t believe it’s already December! Time flies!

I’m vegan, so eating cheese is kind of out for me…186.3.1.2~ “Surely you weren’t under the impression that GAPAs were (how shall I put this) normal?”
You are marvelously quotable, good sir.And Piggy, I’m sure you’re not going to fail. Though if you do, I can’t say as I’d be horribly upset, because then I’ll have company, yay! Even if it is you. Meh, better than nothing I guess.
Just teasing.Well, I’m ba-ack! Aren’t you
devastatedthrilled? I thought as much.
Good flight home, they actually controlled the air pressure in the plane (amazing concept!!) so my head didn’t feel like it was going to implode, explode or do some other unpleasant thing when we were going up and coming down.
Little nervous about flying by myself next time, but I’ll survive, I have up to this point at least.I’m tired. Very tired. I forgot that I now have a lock on my door, so I collided with it trying to open it, ended up dropping all my bags and having to root around for the key. Oooops, that was a fail.

Red-tailed HAWK
in December 1st, 2009 @ 03:45Good morning! What a fantastic idea for a thread theme, and what an amazing artwork by Lady B. at the top, as always!
Welcome home, Fern!
Hi Speller, do you mind sharing the number 24? I have also thought it my lucky number for many years, although my birthday is actually on the 25th of the month. Okay, I just convinced myself it’s 4:30 am, as if I needed to: my exact birthday is 10/25/94. The sum of these numbers is 21, if I can add at this hour *hopes*. The average of 21 and 25 (the day number) is 23. Also, the sum of the digits in 1994 is 23. Why on Earth do I think my lucky number is 24? Am I just being optimistic/happy by adding 1? *puzzles*
If I managed to get my numbers right at this hour, I am optimistic about my understanding of precalc lecture later this morning!
Have a great day, everybody! Sorry, Luna!

in December 1st, 2009 @ 07:40String Orchestra concert tomorrow…..wheee!!!
It’s middle school and high school orchestras combined, but I’m still able to sit at the second stand, in front of most of the high schoolers! WHEEE!!!! Since I get to play the solo for one of the pieces (St. Paul’s Suite) just in Middle School, and also for our competition, so instead of excluding me for the concert they moved me up! SQUEE!
Sorry for the overly-hyper-ness. I am happy.

in December 1st, 2009 @ 17:19Awesome picture! It’s the sort that makes my brain go all fuzzy.
Ha. I practiced with the B team today in basketball. It’s not awful, but I was the only girl who usually plays with both the A and B team (We call ourselves “The Floaters”) who practiced on their side most of the time. I’m a little worried that I might get moved down from the floaters to the B, which I guess wouldn’t be the end of the world but I’ve been doing so well so far only to fall these last couple o’ days I guess…I suppose I’ll just have to put more effort in next practice, because I know I can be A team material if I work harder. But so much is going on right now that everything seems to be spinning so fast and now all of a sudden it’s December. Whoa.

Tesseract
in December 1st, 2009 @ 21:31Wow. Well, sixteen feels pretty old to me. It’s happened a lot recently that I’ve been having a conversation with my friend D (the same one I wrote that weird story with) and suddenly realized that I’m in high school. I’ve known my friend since fifth grade, and now here I am in tenth. Where’d all that time go?
I’ve been thinking this kind of thing since fifth grade though. I remember walking down the hall with my then-best-friend, still-good-friend A, and talking about how fast elementary school had gone. I believe I said something like “You enter kindergarten and then–blink!–you’re graduating elementary school. Blink! You’re in seventh grade. Blink! You’re starting high school… It’s all rushing past.” And now here I am well into high school, still thinking the same thing. Except now fifth grade doesn’t seem as old as it did then, and in fact seems really young. I imagine some day I’ll think of fifteen in a wow-I-was-so-little-then sense.
That, I think, is what’s so hard to wrap my brain around.

I usually don’t feel that way, actually. I’m younger than most of the people in my grade, even the people who skipped 9th grade, so it always seems to be “I’m x years old. Finally.”

Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now,
Cart wheels turn to car wheels through the town.
And they tell him, take your time, it won’t be long now,
Till you drag your feet to slow the circle down.

Before the last revolving year is through

in December 8th, 2009 @ 16:03Yeah, I can see that too.
I spent most of last night trying to think of a way to stop the Weeping Angels… best I could think of was a portable video camera, streaming live to several hundred screens, each one watched by a single person who is under orders to warn everyone else when he or she is going to blink. Once you’ve immobilized the creature by pointing that at it, you can come up with a way to destroy it permanently at leisure. You’d just have to be very, very careful to keep the camera on…
Here’s a conundrum. If a Weeping Angel is being filmed by a security camera that nobody is watching, but somebody plays back the video later, does it turn to stone?

in December 1st, 2009 @ 19:09So…..Question. Does getting your wisdom teeth removed hurt very much? I mean, I can’t imagine it doesn’t…..
Because over the course of the last couple weeks or so, I’ve noticed that one of my wisdom teeth has started to come in. One corner of it is currently poking through my gum just enough that I can feel it with the tip of my tongue. So, I’ve got this nasty feeling that this means I will be having to get my wisdom teeth out sooner, rather than later. And I’m unlucky enough to have all four of the blasted things.
I think my mom had sorta been thinking I’d get them out this coming summer (I think), but….since the one is starting to come in now, I’ve got to imagine the dentist, at least, will one me to get them out over Christmas Break. Which would definitely not be my idea of a fun time.

in December 1st, 2009 @ 19:24Ok, well I can’t say I’ve specifically gotten wisdom teeth pulled so I can’t talk from quite the same experience but I did have a surgery last year where they pulled a tooth up. Not all the way out, just up because it was sitting on the gum and not growing the way it was supposed to. Now if getting your wisdom teeth pulled is anything like that (And I can’t say I know if it is.) then it’s not that bad. I mean of course the Novocain (I’m not sure how that’s spelled, so I’ll apologize in advance.) ensures that you don’t feel anything during the actual surgery and yeah it did work 100% for me because I literally did not feel a thing. The worst part is when the Novocain starts to wear off though because it does get sore and achy for awhile and eating is harder as expected so I mostly ate “rabbit food.” (Cheese, soft crackers, and lots o milkshake! Yay! Well fine rabbits don’t drink milkshake, but that’s what I called it!)
That’s pretty much it, so yeah overall not as bad as you might think. I wouldn’t worry too much about it. For me the anticipation was worse than the real thing because I was really worried and it was much easier than I expected. Oh yeah, and for about a month afterward every once in awhile I had to use some gauze on the tooth because it would start to bleed like if I brushed too hard on it with my toothbrush but that was probably just a lack of carefulness and me not paying to directions, as usual.
What else is to be expected? Actually FOLLOWING the instructions? No way!Hope that helped although that’s kinda-ish more of a rant then anything else (sorry!)…and I honestly don’t know how pulling out wisdom teeth would differ from my surgery. But anyway, there I go off again…

in December 1st, 2009 @ 22:58That’s what my sister was just telling me (she had a couple baby teeth pulled when she was about your age). She said hers hurt for maybe a day, max. Dad’s telling me that he was given pills to take for the pain, that he took one when he walked out, and then never took any of the rest and went out to Mexican that night and never had any pain……I guess he either has high pain tolerance, was extremely lucky, or several decades has messed with his memory of the experience.
Mom’s only story I remember about getting hers pulled, was that both my dad and the dental surgeon swore to her that she would be fully anesthetized for the procedure (she was refusing to do it otherwise), and then…..She was not fully anesthetized, but was awake and they just gave her some local. She tells me that there is no way that they would put me fully under (despite the fact that that’s what I would want), although I’m sure I remember hearing from other people (on here, I think) that they were all the way under, so…. *shrug* I can always hope.

in December 1st, 2009 @ 19:2528~ I wish I could assure you that it’s entirely painless and a fun experience but……it wasn’t for me.
It hurt a great deal, and I had stitches in my mouth (not a pleasant experience either) for a week or so. I could talk and smile after two days or so though, though I still had to be careful and eat soft things and not open my mouth too wide. But it wasn’t absolutely horrid, I survived, and so did another friend who had his out this summer.
You’ll live. And we’ll be here to gently hand over sympathy pies.

in December 1st, 2009 @ 20:32Well, I guess the best I can hope for as far as getting my wisdom teeth pulled then is that I can still put it off until summer, despite the fact that the one is coming in…..I’d really rather not have my short month home this Christmas consist of having stitches and a restricted diet. Breaks when I get to go home and eat my mom’s cooking are when I gorge myself on delicious food and regain any weight I may have lost on nasty college cafeteria food.
Which, actually, I did last year. My “freshman 10” was losing ten pounds, instead of gaining it. Of course, I regained it all over the summer…..

Which I’m sure is true, but doesn’t make me anymore keen to get them out.

Wisdom teeth- My dad got his last one removed recently, after a pretty bad infection and it wasn’t pretty. I’m not looking forward to mine- I’ll have to have them pulled (too small mouth).
36.1- trust me, it’s the best way. My dad didn’t want to get his removed at first and ended up slowly loosing them over about 20 years whenever some new infection came. Not fun.22- Take it easy. I “hurt” my arm once that I could barely write when I fell of a jungle gym and found out a few days later that I’d broken my collarbone. One of the worst summers in my life.

in December 3rd, 2009 @ 14:51NYSSMA is this thing where all musicians that want to participate practice a piece and some scales and then go to a set school where there are people who know the instrument well and they judge you on your piece. I’m sorry if that’s confusing. You aren’t competing, it’s just for your own personal knowledge and so you know how you can make yourself better. Also, I’m pretty sure it looks good on a college application. Are there things like that in other states?

in December 3rd, 2009 @ 17:35Over here, we have EOSSMA (Eastern Oregon Small Schools Music Association) each year. The location changes from year to year, and there are separate ones for junior high and high school. There’s about a hundred kids from various school bands, and each band plays through a song or two that only that band is doing once, and then everyone plays some songs that all the bands do for most of the day. Then, at the end, is the concert. Each band performs their one or two pieces, and then everyone performs the pieces that all the schools learned.
P.S. The instructor told me that the flutes could play an octave lower on the extremely high notes.

But it’s quality, not quantity (of decibels) that counts. So, it all comes down to the musician. So, you probably win.

Speaking of breaking stuff, my dad had a friend who was in hockey and en crashed into the wall. The other players kept saying, “Just walk it off! Come on, just walk it off!” and he was saying “No, no, I can’t! I can’t!” because…he had broken his leg.

in December 3rd, 2009 @ 14:46Isabella is feeling very tired and sick. She’s sitting on the couch and listening to her awesome playlist.
WOW, I’m talking in third person. I must be sick…
If anyone knows the song “Grace Kelly” by Mika, I’m listening to it now. How does his voice go up that high on “hurtful” “purple”?! It’s crazy.
I went to science olympiads today, but it was very confusing. Nobody was explaining anything. Me and my friend Jake were going to work on an event together, but we’re on different teams (I don’t know what that even means…), so we can’t work together. I might work with another friend Belinda, but she wasn’t there today. So, if we do work together, I’d like to be in the ornithology and ecology events.
Kiwimuncher- Happy December to you too!

in December 3rd, 2009 @ 17:17Each school has a Varsity team and up to three JV teams. In NC, each team can have up to eighteen people. As you know, people work in groups of two or three for each event. You’re working for a medal in that event, but then the scores of each team in all the events are totaled and the teams get trophies for how well they cumulatively do.

in December 3rd, 2009 @ 17:33I love the song “Grace Kelly!” It took me forever to figure out what the title of the song was, because my friend gave it to me on a playlist and neglected to give me the titles of the tracks for quite some time. His voice shocked me the first time I heard it, how it could go up that high.

in December 3rd, 2009 @ 15:54RE: Mac vs. PC. I’d always used a PC, and we just got a MacBook pro a few months ago. I love it, it’s fast, it works and it makes sense. Love, love, love.
I thought at first I wouldn’t like the keyboard (I was used to my old laptop’s keyboard) but now I feel strange typing n the old one. Almost like how regular keyboards used to feel to me after using my laptop. And regular keyboards are complete torture, they’re so LOUD and you have to hit the keys so hard! Eew. I hate them.
I want my own computer….. *sigh* I’d like the MacBook pro 13″, but I guess I could get just a plain MacBook. I like the aluminum though. *drools* And the multi touch trackpad and just about everything else about it.I’m concerned about my kitty angel. He’s got a lump under his right eye, and I’m really hoping it’s just an infection or something instead of some sort of growth or tumor or something. I noticed it last night in passing, but today it looks rather large, it’s making his eye shut a bit. My poor little baby, he’s such a trooper and a good guy. We’re taking him into the vet’s tonight (if we can find him–he has a way of vanishing when we need to take him somewhere). *frets*

in December 3rd, 2009 @ 19:4549.1~ Yup. Named thus by my 8 year old self because he has circles on his sides (he’s a yellow tabby).
Turns out he’s okay, it wasn’t anything too serious, just an infected scratch from who-knows-what (he lives outdoors) that swelled up. They drained it, gave him a shot and said he’s got a few degrees of a fever, but that was because of the infection. He looks much better already though.
AHHHH!! I need to pack. We’re going to Boston tomorrow…..gack. It seems like we just got home from Wisconsin! 0.o

Since she’s got some sort of phobia about checking in bags, ESPECIALY if I have a transfer, and that’s horrid enough, as she’s sure I’ll get kidnapped or mugged or SOMETHING. *sigh*
Hopefully not. But anyway.So….Boston tomorrow. I guess that means I should go put some sheets on my bed and go to sleep. Yeah, good idea. *looks at time, nearly faints*

in December 4th, 2009 @ 16:38In our gym class we had to write a paper about “taking the easy path or the hard path”. In the hard path, you climb up a huge mountain using only your own skill and strength while extremely fatigued. In the easy path, you sit on the couch watching “Glee” and eating bonbons. (After discovering that bonbons are balls of ice cream covered with chocolate, why anyone would choose to take the hard path further bewilders me.)
I love the way my gym teacher says “bonbons”. Say it aloud and you’ll know what I mean. He also wears socks with sandals every day and coaches football.

It’s a family tradition, so we go out to a farm about an hour away and chop one down ourselves, then have a stay-in night, decorate and watch movies by the fire. It’s another reason why I love this time of year…our entire family actually sticks together most of the month!
Play practice for Annie starts on Monday. I can’t wait to start furiously scrubbing the stage and jumping on beds. Being an orphan’s going to be exciting.

I woke up, ate breakfast, had faculty meetings, had two classes off, did some homework, watched Torchwood, went to third class, teacher had a migraine (not that that’s good, but) so we had that class off also, ate lunch, read some of Flowers for Algernon, played some flash games, watched more Torchwood (fairies!), SNOW, went back to dorm, went to hockey game, took pictures, went to basketball game, took pictures, ate dinner, played foosball, watched a friend try a video game, started a snowball fight with my proctor which expanded into 15 people, watched the Matrix for the first time, and came back here.
Weeee! Fun.

in December 6th, 2009 @ 20:09 I can’t read the word “countryside” anymore without immediately thinking of that eppy.On the bright side, Ianto is so adorable in that ep.
Even if he did lie about who the last person he kissed was. Or, well, at least the last person he was kissed by. Because after Capt Jack kissed him in episode 4 (you know the one….the first one he played a major part in….the title gives away too much info), he never kissed Lisa during the eppy, and yet in Countrycide, he says Lisa was the last person he kissed.Of course, I suppose it could be argued that he does not feel Jack kissing him counts as him (Ianto kissing someone), but, y’know, for whatever reason we (as in everyone who’s watched it and posted on TW boards) seems to be hung up on that detail….. *shrug* Dunno.

Human saliva makes me nauseous. Not sure why, but it does, so the guy choking up saliva coated rose petals was *shudder* very nauseating.

in December 6th, 2009 @ 13:16Sorry to ruin everyone’s happy bubbles, but my life kinda sucks right now. Yesterday my friend S had a birthday party and everything was all fine and dandy until when we were having cake I started vibrating and being very hate-all. Then we got into a very heated Harry Potter/ twilight battle with Goldendoodle, E, and I on one side and C and K on the other an S not really participating. C was trying to convince me that twilight is bigger than Harry Potter, which is an impossible task, seeing as twilight appeals to girls age 10-20 and the occasional old lady, while Harry Potter appeals to pretty much the entire literate population of the world. She told me to shut up and stop obsessing about stupid books. *hates life and all the people in it*

in December 6th, 2009 @ 15:58That’s exactly the argument I tried to pose to my Twilight-obsessed friends, but oh no. It’s Sparkly Vegetarian Vampire this and Sparkly Vegetarian Vampire that. Also, those books are self-published. All the author had to do was pay $300 for distribution and printing, so no one every edited her writing. How can you not have someone else look over something you’ve written, especially when you’re selling it?!?!!? *fumes* Someone once told me that Harry Potter was stupid, and they wished they had never been born, at least, that’s how I hope they felt. Then again, if you’re brainless enough to appreciate Twilight, I don’t think emotions register very well, considering the lack of intelligent brain function.
I almost got roped into going to the most recent movie (literal translation: absolute drivel) but en’s birthday party had too many people and it would have been to expensive to pay for movie tickets. The moment I found out about this “unfortunate” event is probably the time I’ve felt most relieved in my entire life, and probably ever will. I’d brought I blindfold with me in case of emergency, but luckily I didn’t have to use it. *anti Twilight rant over**Warning: another rant ahead*
So today at the massive swim meet of the season, I won my heat twice today. Upon winning, I received a candy cane (very festive) and a coupon for a bag tag. For those of you who are members of the non-swimming community, I think I have to completely rephrase those first two sentences:
When you do a race a lot of people enter, they break it up into heats, which are groups in the race. Let’s say 10 people enter and the pool has 5 lanes. They can’t all swim at once, so 5 people will swim, their times will be recorded, and the remaining people do the same. The results get organized, etc. Each group is a heat. Bag tags are exactly what they sound like. They’re laminated pieces of paper with stuff like I Love Breaststroke and Eat My Bubbles on them that you can hang from your bag. OKAY, SO I won two coupons for bag tags today, and I went to go get some. These bag tags are hideous creations with PC (sorry, I’m loyal to Mac) clip art, goofy fonts and atrocious colors. There’s also some copyright infringement going on, there’s Finding Nemo, SpongeBob, etc. references and pictures. These things are $5 a pop, and the people selling them are making a fortune off of ugly pieces of paper! I managed to find a few decent ones, but for the most part, they’re not worth the money, I can’t believe people get away with copyright infringement and hideousness in general for FIVE DOLLARS EACH!!!!! What a corrupt society we live in.
*rant over* Wow, this post is big.

in December 6th, 2009 @ 20:39I learned to illuminate letters today. And how to do Flat Acanthus, which is sort of an illuminated border and looks amazing. Then I went out and bought pens and now I have illuminated A, C, and M, though not particularly well (C was definitely the worst one). And my gold paint pen started to leak all over my hands so I stopped for a bit. I want to do a border around the phrase “Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme” with the first letter of each herb illuminated, but I want to do it well and I’m reluctant to open up the paint pen again for fear of never being able to make my hands a normal color again.

in December 7th, 2009 @ 19:26“Amazing?” The only thing amazing about any of the HP movies with David Yates as director is just how amazingly horrible they’ve been. I’ve given up all hope that the remaining movies will be any good at all. The sixth wasn’t–he screwed the whole Horcrux thing up so bad there’s no way he can salvage it and keep it at all close to the books, without throwing in a massive amount of stuff not in the books. And the fifth sucked was almost as bad as the sixth. Fourth and third (admittedly by different directors) weren’t all that far behind the fifth.

in December 7th, 2009 @ 19:49I think the reason that the HP movies will never live up to the books is that JKR makes a plot so complex that it is virtually impossible to do it justice. If I don’t compare the movies to the books, they are pretty good, but once I start noticing all the important details that the movies leave out, I wonder how they possibly think they are doing Harry Potter justice.

in December 7th, 2009 @ 23:36Luna is questioning the wisdom of eating the cookies that were hanging in a sack on her door. But she has decided that she already ate the three pieces of candy in the bag, not to mention the bag was hung there by a churchy group. Some methodist church near campus, they had several adverts about their church/services, plus a letter explaining the symbolism of candy canes (candy cane included), with a hand written comment that God ♥ ‘s me and they look forward to seeing me….
Yeah, right. Bribes=good, church=not my thing.
Anyway, I doubt they’re going to try and poison me, not a good way to win converts.
So, yes, cookies here I come.

I saw an extremely intriguing result of a Rasmussen poll a few days ago. People were asked, “Suppose the Tea Party organized itself as a political party. When thinking about the next election for Congress, would you vote for the Republican candidate from your district, the Democratic candidate from your district or the Tea Party candidate from your district?” The results: Democrat 36%, Tea Party 23%, Republican 18%, and Unsure 22%.

in December 8th, 2009 @ 14:01Snow. I wish. If this bleeped up state actually believe in snow, given the amount of precipitation currently falling from the sky, there’d probably be a good inch or so of snow. But, oh, no, it’s gotta be 34 degrees, and thus it’s pouring rain, no snow. Gah, I hate this state.

in December 8th, 2009 @ 14:12*sings* Roomie is moving out, roomie is moving out! *stops singing*
Only concern: One of the other res halls on campus in closing when Break starts, to undergo renovations. All the occupants are going to be moved into other dorms. With my luck, I’ll get stuck with one of them moving in, and she’ll be way worse than who I have, because as much as my current roomie annoys me, she could be quite a bit worse without much difficulty.

If there’s a snow day tomorrow, I will be feeling ambivalent. The would mean our evening band concert is postponed, and we are SO NOT READY for a band concert. On the other hand, I need the X-block to work on my mask for Art, and playing for our parents would be good pratice for the concert the next morning.

in December 8th, 2009 @ 17:19Tomorrow it might snow, and we might get a late start on school! We never have snowdays, only “late starts” days. Actually, it’s not such a great thing because tomorrow is our first all-grade chorus practice and it’s first thing in the morning. I’m a bit nervous for our concert, because I can’t really sing in the key of one of the songs; it’s too high (I’m a contralto). Also, tonight we are going to decorate our Christmas tree
and I wrote a poem that I am very proud of. But, then again, today is the 29th anniversary of John Lenonn’s death. Is it a good day or a bad day? I feel very strange…

in December 8th, 2009 @ 20:12Live in Bay Area. Never snows in Bay Area. Has snowed in Bay Area. Have built a snowman without driving for two hours beforehand for the first time. *happy glow*
However, I have also had to take my sparkly purple scarf and wrap it around my head to keep my freezing nose warm, which I hoped would make me look like a purple ninja but instead makes me look like a mentally deranged person from the Arabian Nights. Alas, no snow stuff to be worn where I live.
I have also sung fifteen Christmas carols while wearing a large menorah hat. And told everyone it’s much, much warmer in the 29th century in honor of Pretend You’re A Time Traveler Day. Which makes me happy.

But it’s snowing, which is what’s important, even if there is only a little bit on the ground, not even enough to cover the cement walkways, much less the grass.

And there’s not even enough snow for the cold to have been worthwhile, I mean not even a centimeter of accumulation for a day of freezing weather. And my spanish teacher seemed surprised I thought it was cold (It was mid teens, not including the wind chill. Without the wind chill, it would’ve been fine. I mean, cold, yes, but not omg, get me inside now I’m freezing my butt of cold. Or my face, because my butt wasn’t actually cold. But that just doesn’t ahve the same ring to it.). I guess she seems to think that because I’m from Alaska, I wouldn’t find this cold. Ummmm, below freezing is still cold, even if you live somewhere where it occurs fairly regularly for a large portion of they year. *grumbles about morons*

Which stinks, because if one of those superfans who owns practically every issue of everything does major editing, it could be a thing of pure awesomeness that would keep me reading for hours.
Real-world things that have an overlapping existance in comics don’t get enough attention. But having a comprehensive article would be really cool. I want to read about that one time in 1964 Iron Man fought some crazy superpowered Russian spy at Cape Canaveral.

in December 9th, 2009 @ 20:23Overview of the last couple of days (since December 7th, 2009 @ 21:18)
At 5:34 on tuesday morning I threw up.
Then I threw up again at 7:35
And then I slept until 1:22 (No school for me, everyone else had early release)
And then I had some water and slept some more.
And then around 7 I ate some crackers and then at 7:30 I watched prep and landing.
And then The school announced no school on Wednesday.
And I went to bed.
And I woke up at 5:30 today, and have gone between homework and Hulu and MB and Wikipedia.
So yeah…
No school tomorrow.
But I have a debate tournament on friday.

Typical vienna weather. It quite cold and raining, it gets dark way to early (as in, before 4:00 p.m. , I’d have to look up the exact time) and there’s no snow to cheer me up!*headdesk*

in December 10th, 2009 @ 12:12116- Nor me! Although it actually snowed last friday. Probably the first time I’ve ever seen it falling. No, probably not, but certainly the first time I remember. It was amazing. ^.^
Actually, not particularly. Snowed for maybe half an hour, very lightly, didn’t stick, hasn’t snowed since… Basically just little puffs floating down. But I thought it was amazing.In other news, I got my hair cut today. It’s fairly short now, like chin length. Before it was below my shoulders. It feels peculiar.
My hair has been alternating between chin-ish length and longer for some time now…

in December 10th, 2009 @ 15:03It is SO cold outside right now. According to my computer, it’s 14 degrees.
And it is really cold in the Fine arts wing at our school and everyone nearly froze to death in orchestra. It would’ve been really cold going to gym (it’s in a separate building) but we’re doing health right now, thankfully, in the gym teacher’s math classroom.
There’s 1-2 inches of snow on the ground, you can still see the grass a little..

in December 10th, 2009 @ 15:46OK, so we’re doing this thing in science where we are dropping an egg from either the roof or the third floor window. We have to build structures that will keep the egg in one piece, using only bendy straws and masking tape. The idea is to get it to the ground as slowly as possible, and to convert the kinetic energy when the egg hits the ground into the straws, instead of the egg’s shell. Has anybody ever done this before, or any variation, and if somebody has, does en have any design ideas?

Luna the Lovely
in December 10th, 2009 @ 16:00I’ve never done that, but my first thought would be:
Make a “cage” out of the straws that is three to four inches bigger in diameter than your egg, using the tape to fasten the straws together. Suspend your egg in the middle of the cage with the masking tape, tethering it to the cage in at least two locations. In theory, if your straw cage is big enough, your egg won’t smash against it, and by suspending it in the middle, the egg will not be absorbing enough energy to smash, as it will be able to move in its hammock…..
But I dunno. That’s all probably easier said than done, and probably wouldn’t work as well as one might hope……Especially as the straws will probably bend on impact, causing the egg to hit the ground regardless of the initial space between egg and straws……

in December 10th, 2009 @ 18:04Oooh, the Eggs-Prize! We did that at Space Academy!
The most stable shape in this situation is a tetrahedron, or pyramid. We had cotton balls and cardboard, so it was a little different, but I would say: go with a basic pyramid built around the egg, and add straws sticking out to take the immediate impact. Kind of imagine a porcupine pyramid, that would be my suggestion.

in December 10th, 2009 @ 21:28Luna feels the need to announce that her psych professor is a hypocrite. In the syllabus, she wrote a whole paragraph on proper email etiquette.
“Always address the person to whom you are writing, because it is rude to simply start out with your message with no recognition of the person to whom you are writing.”
“….always end your message with a ‘thank you’.” [I would like to point out that this bit doesn’t even “always” make sense.]
I just received an email from the prof, in response to my email asking for confirmation of the time of the final tomorrow, because I realized that the syllabus didn’t say it anywhere, nor did I have it in writing, and I wanted to confirm that I was correct.
Her response consisted of one word, “Yes!”, no “Hi, Michelle,” or “Dear Michelle,” or any acknowledgement of to whom she was writing. And she didn’t end the message with a “thank you”, although that wouldn’t have made much sense in the context, but…..she does say that it is proper etiquette to “always end your message with a ‘thank you’.”
Hypocrite.

in December 11th, 2009 @ 09:05One final down, 3 to go. Really, though, why did the school have to schedule my psych final to be at 8 in the bloody morning? And of course, the test was a 75 problem MC test, so it didn’t even take an hour, much less the two provided. I’m seriously contemplating going back to bed for awhile…..I didn’t even get 6 hours of sleep last night–it was about 1 before I got to bed, and closer to 1:30/1:45 before I fell asleep–only to have to get up at 6:30. So….yeah. A nap is starting to sound better and better.
Speaking of my final, though, I think it went pretty well. Out of 75, I think there were only about 10 questions I wasn’t entirely certain on…..Of course, that would only give me about an 86% on the test, which isn’t necessarily enough for an A. It all depends on how many points my Service Learning supervisor gives me for my SL…A number I don’t know yet. *sigh* It would probably (hopefully) give me an A-, just not necessarily an A. Dangit, I wish I knew what my SL supervisor gave me……

in December 11th, 2009 @ 10:25Well, if they’re 5 part multiple choice and you got all of the 65 you knew right and you arbitrarily guessed on the others, that should be 67 right, which is about 89%, I think. (I did that in my head, so I might be off by 1% or so.) 67.5 right is enough for a 90.

in December 11th, 2009 @ 12:57They were actually 4 part MC. If I only got 65 right, I need to receive a 161/175 from my Service Learning supervisor, in order to get a 93% in the class. 90-92 is only an A-…..
Urgh, and Luna really needs to learn to set limits on her naps. 9:15/9:30 until 12:45 is utterly ridiculous……

Supposedly 20-minute naps are the best. Personally, I like nice, long ones.

in December 11th, 2009 @ 12:30Hair dying- Different colors sound cool, but usually look a bit strange in the long run. Maybe you could try a fun idea from my austrian friends; on fat tuesday (or any other random day everyone agrees on), you wear random crazy costumes and everyone buys a can of the cheep spray-on washes-out hair dye. That way, you can experiment before spending lots of money and maybe getting stuck with a color you don’t like/doesn’t suit you, and you know how well it works with different clothes (I now know that red or silver hair doesn’t suit me. Oh well. But somehow, it would look odd in ballroom dancing class).
So, I’ve had a loverly 11 hour school day with an important french test (topics; france in WW2, the book we read months ago and la francophonie, as in dates and figures and population and economy of Sénégal and another former french colony of choice). *headesk* Now I know what a brain-dead vegetable feels like.

in December 11th, 2009 @ 18:42So I just got this email from residential life: Over the break, Residential Life staff will be entering your room to reprogram your thermostat…….The reprogramming will allow you to set the heating temperature in your room to 72 degrees OR COOLER. Essentially, you will have the ability to set the temperature anywhere below and up to 72 degrees. In the summer, this process is reversed – you will be able to set your room to 72 degrees OR WARMER. (bold is my emphasis)
At first, I start reading it, thining: “Great! I’ll actually be able to dial down the temp in my room to a pleasant temp in the summer, instead of being stuck unable to turn it down below 73, no matter how bloody hot it is outside.”
And then I get to the last sentence, and–total doubletake.
I mean, that’s backwards. totally, bloody backwards. In the summer, 72 degrees inside my dorm is way too blasted hot. I don’t want to be able to keep it 72 or warmer in the summer, I want to be able to turn it DOWN in the summer, not keep it boiling hot. And in the winter? Why would I want to keep my room COLDER in the winter than the summer? I mean, 72 is a decently comfortable temp inside in the winter, but…..I mean, I realize this probably saves them heating costs or some such garbage, but…..It’s completely backwards as far as comfort for the inhabitants goes. It’s always way too warm in the room most of the year (anytime that it’s above freezing outside), because it won’t go below 73. Why on earth would I want my room cold in the winter, but hot during the summer?!?!?!??!?!
*Curses the stupidity of the idiot people in charge*

in December 12th, 2009 @ 14:06And now for something rather gross!
Recently I have had a large, red lump. At first it was smaller and bruise-colored, but then it got bigger and redder quickly. It was going to have to be removed, but it exploded last night on its own! I woke up at about 5 A.M., and realized that the upper half of my body was wet and sticky. My first thought was that I’d drooled on myself, but then I realized that that was impossible, because only the inside of my nightgown was wet. (Stretch velour doesn’t let liquid through very easily.) Then I realized that the lump was gone, and that it must have exploded, so I woke up my mom, took off the pus-covered nightgown, and grabbed a washcloth and began wiping my self off while Mom got out of bed. Meanwhile, the lump, which turned out to be some sort of pus-filled infected thing, was oozing pus, and then a black thing that looked like a seed came out, which made sense because the end of the lump had been dark. I actually wasn’t grossed out at all. I was quite happy that it wouldn’t have to be poked open by a total stranger, but had just exploded open on its own. I did take a shower afterwards.
So, were you grossed out by this?
P.S. It’s snowing!

er, yes, I am the odd sort of person who tends to think of how everyday objects can become weapons. but, y’know, if they ever actually sent us into red alert and had us lock ourselves in our rooms cuz there was some maniac on campus, it would be nice to know I had something besides a box cutter with which to defend myself.

in December 12th, 2009 @ 20:27Piggy’s mind seems to have become increasingly alarming over the past few days. He can’t say what thoughts he’s been thinking, but they’re somewhat disturbing.
Also, Suh deserved the Heisman far more than any of those other losers.

in December 12th, 2009 @ 20:32Don’t worry about your mind. I think boarding school is eating my soul. I was researching the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire and thinking “Burning bodies falling from 10th floor windows…how amusing!”

in December 12th, 2009 @ 21:53So….hello, MB. I haven’t been posting a lot lately (actually, I haven’t been posting at all lately), and I’m sorry ’bout that….I’ve been sorta busy.
My homeschool group performed our play today…it went decently, considering. There were only 15 people in the audience, which was maybe just as well, really… XD Nobody crashed and burned, though Liam got stage fright. I messed up a couple of times, but the nice thing about a play you’ve written yourself is that nobody’ll notice that.
Also….I’m leaving MA on Wednesday. 0_o I’ll be in Florida until the 30th, but I’m not sure how much internet access I’ll have. I’m sorta freaked out….has it seriously been a whole year since the last time already? Wow….scary.
Nothing more to say, really….I’m sorta tired. *yawn*

in December 12th, 2009 @ 22:19So I am concussed.
During my hockey game today I got slammed into the boards and hit my head on the ice pretty hard. I got up and fine (I think, but I’m not actually how long I was on the ice for) and got to the bench, skated another shift, and then had to sit out for the rest of the game (like 6 minutes).
We went to the ER because I I was really dizzy and had a headache, and then my hands went sort of numb (that sometimes happens when I get migraines). Also I kind of lost coherency, I couldn’t think of the words I was trying to say.
So I sat around for ages in the ER, and I got better eventually before the CAT scan I was supposed to have because there were people ahead of me, so the doctor just let me leave. I have to wait for at least 3 days before I can play again though : /

in December 13th, 2009 @ 13:07I sometimes wonder how many I.Q. points I lost in that accident — though, if I was doing that, I suppose I couldn’t have had too many to start with.

in December 13th, 2009 @ 11:23We put our tree up! It’s a small fake one in the living room, pre-lighted, so the lighting looks very professional. We put on some strings of beads and ornaments and it looks very nice.

I got the two best presents I could’ve hoped for.
#1: iPod Touch.
#2: I get to go see the Harry Potter exhibit in February! I’m so excited! My cousins went and they said it was unbelievable.

Piggy
in December 13th, 2009 @ 14:58Piggy’s newest sure-to-fail experiment: lucid dreaming. The main problem, though, is that I can barely remember any dreams. But hopefully I’ll be able to train my brain up.
And I’m also conducting an experiment to see how addictive Twitter actually is. Oops, I’d better “tweet” something; I haven’t for a few hours now.

in December 13th, 2009 @ 19:25Happy Chanukah, everybody!
Lately my life has not been interesting. However, tomorrow is dance and we are practicing lifts and I am not pleased with having to catch a girl who is nearly my height in midair.
156–How are you going to go about dreaming lucidly? I know what it is, but I don’t know how one could actually do it.

in December 13th, 2009 @ 22:39Well, first I have to practice remembering my dreams, which may take a while to become proficient at. But the apparent way to become lucid in a dream is to do “reality checks”, like making sure you have the right number of fingers on each hand, that you can’t fly–those sorts of things. I’ve read that it’s easiest to get in that habit during waking hours, and the habit should stay with you once you go to sleep. So when I think of it I stop and count my fingers and make sure time is traveling in the correct direction.

in December 14th, 2009 @ 07:32I never tend to notice things like that when I’m dreaming… The one sure way to tell for me is that I can’t fall over forwards. Even when I trip, I end up falling backwards and usually waking up in bed.
I have lucid ones from time to time, but I do not cherish the interpretations to them-I had a very realistic dream about frying my friend’s parakeet after my sister’s alarm went off at 6 a.m. on Saturday. It (the bird) was called Peder (unlike my friend’s bird), but looked the same and I also fried it in their kitchen and served it with rice and orange sauce. Repressed anger issues? Yes.

in December 14th, 2009 @ 10:58This calls for a poem. It’s by W. H. Auden, though it’s not exactly the kind of doom you have in mind:
The Wanderer
Doom is dark and deeper than any sea-dingle.
Upon what man it fall
In spring, day-wishing flowers appearing,
Avalanche sliding, white snow from rock-face,
That he should leave his house,
No cloud-soft hand can hold him, restraint by women;
But ever that man goes
Through place-keepers, through forest trees,
A stranger to strangers over undried sea,
Houses for fishes, suffocating water,
Or lonely on fell as chat,
By pot-holed becks
A bird stone-haunting, an unquiet bird.
There head falls forward, fatigued at evening,
And dreams of home,
Waving from window, spread of welcome,
Kissing of wife under single sheet;
But waking sees
Bird-flocks nameless to him, through doorway voices
Of new men making another love.Save him from hostile capture,
From sudden tiger’s leap at corner;
Protect his house,
His anxious house where days are counted
From thunderbolt protect,
From gradual ruin spreading like a stain;
Converting number from vague to certain,
Bring joy, bring day of his returning,
Lucky with day approaching, with leaning dawn.

in December 14th, 2009 @ 11:06At least you’ve never had to do a summative. *shudders* It’s a really long paper in which you must connect history to contemporary events. Naturally, you have not covered the history or the contemporary events in class, so you have to do a ton of research and find “textual, visual, and quantitative data.” (Yep, quotes, pictures, statistics, graphs, and just about anything else you can think of.) Then, you have to write paper in website form using Microsoft Exoression Web, which is a really bad piece of software. After that, you turn it in and soon get the assignment for the next summative… I’m so glad my final one for this semester is done.

in December 14th, 2009 @ 11:55Do do do doooo….
I just had my first foreign congress the other day! ‘Twas very exciting! I am now officially obsessed with model congress. My delegation has all of these crazy cheers. It’s great.
Towards the end of the day day on Saturday, we had a plenary (which is everyone from all of the other delegations together in the audotorium, debating). I really wanted to pass one bill, does the media put too much pressure on us to be overly thin? So, this resulted in me screaming on the top of my lungs “MOTION TO MOVE BILL NUMBER TWENTY-SIX!!!!” for about twenty minutes. (Consequently, I had a killer sore throat the next day.) Despite my screaming and my murderous glares, I didn’t get picked on. Oh well. I’ll just have to wait for the next foreign congress.

in December 14th, 2009 @ 15:07I’m home again, and this time for a whole week! Huzzah! I don’t have to live out of a duffel bag/backpack/other piece of luggage.
This is a Good Thing.It also means I’ll have time to do some schoolwork and write that darned resume. *sigh*
Oh, I met a former muser yesterday! Well, I’ve actually known him for years, but I didn’t now he used to read Muse. He saw my Koko for Pres button and made a comment about the “fertility god for president? That’s cool….” and I mumbled something about it being from a magazine I read.
“…Muse?”
“Yeah! You’re familiar with it?”
“Yeah, I used to read it!”
“Ever been on MuseBlog?”
“Nope, I haven’t actually…”
“Check it out sometime, it’s fun.”
“Will do, when my internet starts working again.” Who knew? Although, looking back, it makes perfect sense.
