Yeah, so what I've wasted most of today being nostalgic for things written five years ago... at least. Wow.. I can't believe that the WCDMS were that freaking long ago! My goodness, I wrote on those when I was thirteen or fourteenish! I'm now nearly 19. It's amazing to look back at how those started, and how everyone's styles all sort of meshed together and we all became at least slightly better writers. I wonder how similar our styles still are... I know I still write a lot like I did back then. Silly me and my silly style. I'd write even more like it if it hadn't been for my oppressive English class last year. Blasted oppressive English class! Crushing my creativity! Ah, it is so nice to have a class this year that doesn't impose insane formats for essays. Now if only I could manage to get the content down properly. Curse it all.
The bits of today not spent in class or reading random things were spent playing around with my roomie's digital camera, that actually takes videos, too. I've got a few interesting ones that, because of my wonderful talent and steady hand, look like bits out of bad horror films. If you want to see them you'll have to catch me online and ask me though, since I've sucessfully exceeded my bandwidth on both my Tripod accounts, and am nearly out of space on the Jahar9 one. I'm sort of mad, because I started it out like, in 8th grade, and I had about 10 MBs of space that I was never going to use, and I was happy. Those were the plain-HTML days. Then I started using images about a year later, and all of a sudden Tripod bumped all of its accounts up to 50 MBs, and the world was happy. Now, inexplicably, we are down to 20 MBs. And I have .9 left on my account, and it is sad. I'd hate to start another account someplace just to store my random pictures here and such, but I might have to. And goodness knows, it'll probably be on gosh-awful Yahoo-Geocities, because all my e-mail addresses are linked to Tripod accounts. Blast.
You know, I think there was some reason for posting this entry, but I can't remember it at all now. Oooh well. I suppose that must be the sign that I should go contemplate my homework. Not that I really have a lot tonight. I just have to write a paragraph for Media Asthetics, and then work on my presentation for French. Goodness let me pass my competency exam at the end of this quarter, I can't stand to take another quarter of this work! It's not that I don't like French... it's just that there is way too much busy-work for me to keep up with, and at this point I'll be so happy to get a B in there (I have a B right now, and it ought to stay that way...), which is absolutely pathetic. Though, I think my lecture session grades will bring things up a bit since I'm pretty sure they're all pretty well and good. And I should be able to pull nearly an A in both calc and media asthetics. So there, I don't need to be disappointed too much in myself after this quarter.
Oh, and here is an analysis of me, by my birth month. Hmm...
JANUARY:
Stubborn andhard-hearted. Ambitious and serious. Loves to teach and be taught. Always looking at people's flaws and weaknesses. Likes to criticize. Hardworking and productive. Smart, neat and organized. Sensitive and has deep thoughts. Knows how to make others happy. Quiet unless excited or tensed. Rather reserved. Highly attentive. Resistant to illnesses but prone to colds. Romantic but has difficulties expressing love. Loves children. Loyal. Has great social abilities yet easily jealous. Very Stubborn and money cautious.
Drat... that actually isn't all that far off. Though I wouldn't technically say that I'm "always looking at people's flaws and weaknesses." Though I guess I am... I just don't like to think of it that way. I am a typo Nazi, and I notice things sometimes... but I'm not nearly as hyper-critical as some people, especially here. And that cold things... yup. Gosh darn that. Don't know where that social abilities thing comes in though... I suppose you just can't be right all the time.
