azurite | So Far, So Good...

Ugh, I spent nearly all of this morning talking to people online, so when I finally "worked up the nerve" to get my arse to sleep, it was after 1:30 in the morning. Thankfully Mom didn't wake up and holler at me-- that is, until I woke up again at 2:30 with a rotten coughing fit. I was feeling awfully hot, too... but don't get me wrong, I'm at school. It's lunch now, and I'm happily sitting in the journalism room (well okay, I'm all alone and it's kinda depressing) typing away, my bagel and cheese and iced tea at my side. So sue me, I had salad last night for dinner! Yeesh... *cough*

Anyway, so miracle of miracles, as I was walking to the 31 bus stop this morning (I took a shower and actually polished off my breakfast, knowing that going to choir would be futile with my throat. Whenever someone says hi to me and I respond, I sound like someone totally different-- usually someone male. ^^;;) Rochelle spotted me (her mom was driving her to school) and offerred me a ride too. Then we saw Wendy over on at 17th avenue and we ended up giving her a ride too-- it was like one big carpool! ^^

So I made it on time to Gilmore's class-- yuck. It isn't so fun without Rochelle in it anymore. We started Economics, and there's a new textbook... but at least it's all plainspeak. I think I might help myself study by making webpages (for the "Mer's Guides" part of my site that isn't up yet) about the things I'm learning-- maybe then if someone else (i.e. someone younger, or someone from another country) understands it (or heck, if someone from an advanced course, like in college understands or remembers it) then I know I've done a good job! =D There's already a bunch of work that she assigned yesterday that, thankfully, she allowed everyone a class period to work on. I was trying to catch up on all the reading I have to do, so I'll probably end up doing that 6th period today or something...

I thought 3rd period would be rotten for me, since that difficult Problem of the Week is due, but I guess yesterday's class got her to get an extension-- till tomorrow. I haven't worked on it much (I suck at math). There's these two formulas we have to get, and I only have a vague idea about one of them. >_< Damn it. Why does Jonathan Potter have to be so damn good at math but so vague when trying to explain it to others?! Meeeeh...

So now it's lunch, and I'm sitting here with my bagel and my iced tea, Shawn TF is right behind me, Colleen's to my left, Molly's next to her, Max next to her. It's a nice, kinda pleasant lunch. I'm planning on going to RTA afterschool anyway, what with the EX being installed. Hmm...

Oh yes, and this will be my journal for the time being... until I uninstall Greymatter and reinstall it with the mod that allows me to take all my old entries and put them in. I'd rather not add THESE entries to Greymatter just yet, since that'll skew things up even more. So... yeah.

I'm recently been inspired to continue work on "Goodbye, Hello, Who Are You?" "Perfect World" and "Dream a Dream," so I guess that puts me in a ficcing mood. I have to work on layouts for AMC over at Souten, since many of the pages there are down or disorganized. *guilt guilt* I have to figure out something to do for WAFF day-- a layout I might be able to throw together with some transparent GIFs, ImageReady, and some Dreamweaver Templates. Also looming in my future are the other sites I wanted to do-- "Archive Obscura" and some others that I can't remember now.

Well, thanks to Eva I have two more delish pics for Snapshot, which is good, since Shawn wanted me to update ^.^ Tee hee. I actually tried to show Taisuke (this 23 year old Japanese guy that Rochelle aka Roro knows through a friend of hers) some pictures of me so we'd be even... after all, he did show me some (somewhat hazy) pictures of him (dressed to for Squaw, no less... there wasn't much to see)... but I don't know if he looked at them. Oh well, I look HOT HOT HOT in red anyway. ^_^v I can't wait till I get Winterball images...

Well, I gotta work on some articles for Journalism-- something on Pro-Ana and Pro-Mia sites (check out The Wave for juicy details) that I think is interesting, plus something on the ridiculous SFUSD restrictions on websites. Hmm... I wonder if I could get Will and/or Jeremy to give me quotes or opinions on the school's comnputers and the network.

Ugh, okay, just done looking at a Pro-Ana website. YUCK YUCK YUCK! These girls are so stupid, honestly, what are they thinking? Saying stuff like Anorexia is a lifestyle, a choice-- what is going on in their vapid, self-obsessed minds? Do they ever even bother to research stuff?! Geezus, I know I'm no model or anything (*sweat* Well, I was Miss West Petaluma for a while...) but I have a high metabolism and I'm *underweight* for my height. There are girls like Amber who are taller than me and exercise frequently and have good meals, and she's probably one of the fittest chicks I know! Yeesh. Take a page out of a normal person's book ladies: Anorexia is bad. It's not a lifestyle, and if it *is* a choice, it's a bad one. You have nothing to gain from looking like a damned toothpick.

Oh, and my "thinspiration" for my Pro-Ana/Mia article? Our wonderfully emaciated friend, Gollum. I hope all the Pro-Ana/Mia friends who see/read my article (I may even make a parody website of it, tee hee hee) will realize that they won't look like Giselle-whoever-the-hell-her-skinny-dead-ass-is but a twiggy, disgusting sap. ^^ I'm done with my rant of the day, continue about your business.
