So this may or may not be my last post on Blogger, because as I assume you've all heard (well, maybe not Lalis, as the decision is being made in America), the SOPA may or may not pass. If it passes, Blogger is dead for sure. It, along with Facebook, Youtube, Reddit, Tumblr, Goodreads, and pretty much everything else. If you're living under a rock but are still somehow aware of and reading my blog, the SOPA would shut down any American website that may enable or encourage online piracy. (Also, I don't know why people are saying 'the SOPA Act', isn't that a bit redundant, 'A' standing for 'Act' and all? :P)
So, point is, I want to make this good. This post should be deep and meaningful and important...but it's my life I'm talking about, so let's be real xD Nothing especially big happened. In fact, I can just summarize my week right now: Shakespeare essay, ignoring Calc teacher because I'm cocky and assume I can pass the class anyway, Shakespeare essay, tutoring people with various degrees of brightness (I like the bright ones, for some odd reason), Shakespeare essay, trying to make time for friends, Shakespeare essay, realizing I was going to fail the Calc test, realizing I didn't take any history notes at all really for a quiz that would be on the following day, studying, Shakespeare essay, failing Calc, probably doing alright on history because history happens to follow a really predictable pattern for the most part, Shakespeare essay. That's seven days' worth of life. It was all school-related. I have no life anymore. I hate/love junior year for being like this. I really have no life at all if I'm starting to like doing school stuff. T_T
Also, I ran into an old friend and we were all like, "Oh, we should definitely hang out this weekend, we'll hit each other up on Facebook and it'll be just like before stuff happened," but then we didn't and it was mildly sad-making.
I'm reading The Complete Tales and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe. He wasn't half as emo as we make him out to be. Especially the tales....:P
Yeah, there's really not much to say about my life. It's pretty much revolving around Shakespeare right now, in case this wasn't made clear already. I've liked Shakespeare for a while - I read Hamlet when I was like...4, which is kind of funny because nobody reads Shakespeare that early and kind of facepalmy because I didn't even speak English, so I read it in Russian and it was therefore considerably easier than the real Hamlet - but I don't think I've ever appreciated his genius to the extent I now do. Which I guess means I'm learning a lot, at the expense of my GPA. Calc too. I actually like Calc a lot, it's all sense-making, or would be if we were given an explanation for how anyone came up with derivatives...but then again, it's a high school math class, you just have to shut up and memorize, not understand :P
Yeah, I've nothing to say, really. Sorry. Maybe if Blogger survives, my next post will be better. Maybe. :/

11/11/11 FTW.
Hi. I love 4 day weekends :D
Well, technically it was a 3 1/2 day weekend, but who's going to actually get up and go to school for a half-day to learn about bullying? Not me o.o I slept...some people actually went. Well, sophomores had to take the WKCE (Wisconsin Knowledge & Concepts Exam) for an hour, I guess, so that sucks for them, but I don't get why anyone else went. Oddballs :P
What I did do is sleep, then go get sushi with my friend and "study for Science Olympiad". Yesh, I do Science Olympiad, yes, it is mostly so that my college application looks good, no, I'm not really learning that much. Maybe if I studied instead of just talking to Cici about life and the universe and everything, I would...but I doubt it. I don't really care that much about invasive species, honestly.
And then Friday was...11/11/11!!! Who made a wish? I made like 50 '-_- And then at like 1 am on 11/12 I remembered another wish I wanted to make. Oh well xD
11/11 also happens to be my friend's birthday, so we played laser tag at this one place for 4 hours because we're cool like that. Well, actually they were 15 (?) minute matches separated by 45 (?) minutes...no, that sounds wrong. 30/30 also sounds a bit off, though...maybe 20/40? Doubtful...oh well. Anyway, so 11:11 fell during an in-between time, so we all stood in a circle and closed our eyes (er, I did, I assume other people did too...) and wished. It was all bondy and shit. I was actually quite depressed afterwards for a bit, I don't even know why o.o
Oh, also, these two people I haven't seen in forever were at the party so it was really happyfying to see them! One I never see because he's in college now and even though he stayed in Madison, we just never get around to hanging out anymore because we don't see each other regularly and the other one moved away so we don't even have the chance to hang out, the ass :( Oh, speaking of, another one of my friends is transferring schools on Monday. The world hates me :P
Saturday and Sunday were boring. I procrastinated writing my Shakespeare essay. I still am, actually, although I got a thesis!!! Now I get to look for quotes in a play I only skimmed originally :D ...There's a reason this is my worst class this year. At least in Calc you don't have to do the work to keep up '-_-
Song of the Week: Helena by My Chemical Romance. My sister watched the music video of her own free will today!!! (She didn't like it, but oh well.)

Oheythereblog. Haven't seen you in a bit....
HI. I've finally remembered about this place :D
Sorry I've been gone for so long but I've been just so busy and I've had so much fun and I've been so stressed out and I don't even know where to start and now Do Re Mi from Sound of Music is stuck in my head cause you know the beginning goes "Let's start from the very beginning, a very good place to start" and I should finish this sentence and start a new one. There we go.
So remember how I said I wanted to go to Zompocalypse in my last post? Well, that happened. Mmhmm. And it was fucking great. And I want to spend the rest of my life wandering mazes in the dark with zombies and following the Eastern Star because we have no clue where the Northern one is and trolling people by screaming "FOUND IT!!!!!!!!!" in random places (see, you're supposed to look for pieces of a map because there's literally no other way to get out of the maze, it's so huge) and I've quite an aptitude for run-on sentences today, don't I? I'll try to stop.
I also had a Halloween sleepover. I thought it would suck because one of my friends hates scary movies so we couldn't get any, but we ended up watching Hitchcock and that was my first time watching anything of his and he is the best. I actually feel like within a year or so, I'll completely stop caring about modern media and watch only old movies, read only classics, listen only to Metallica...well maybe not that. But seriously, what's up with modern art? It needs to improve pronto.
Speaking of, I watched Paranormal Activity 1 and 3. They're OK. 1 scared me during the last 5 seconds, 3...3 was meh. I guess it was pretty good for the 3rd movie of a series, but as my movie rating scale has recently gotten much pickier, I refuse to give it any more than 2 stars. Sound of Music gets 5, by the way. I'm rating out of 5.
Other recent events...gah. I can't remember what I have or haven't told you about. I have a new plot idea, but I think I'll wait until after Nano to start, because really, right now all the importance should go to them. I might forget it though...so if I do, note to self: stupidtypicalRomanianvampire California library betrayal Zoyaandcompany. Yep. Now you all know the plot, too. Don't tell anyone else, you'll spoil it for them.
I took the SAT yesterday, I guess. It was easy enough, I'm just worried about what grade I'll get on the essay. I don't write fast at all, so giving me a 25-minute time limit is basically like saying, "You have an hour to memorize Hamlet. Go." Not happening.
I don't know why I said Hamlet, by the way. I've been reading lotsa Shakespeare recently, I guess: Richard III and Henry IV and Twelth Night...not Hamlet, though. I read that forever ago, it deserves a re-reading, though. I'll get around to it sometime, or just wait for my English class to assign it :P
I'm so freaked out about college, by the way. I can't mention it to anyone because they'll either tell me to shut up because I'm a fucking genius or some shit like that or tell me that if I tried harder, I'd know I'd get into my dream college with a full scholarship and not have to stress over it. Either way, both are unhelpful. And I swear my hair is actually falling out, I don't know if it's because of this or not but it is. Blah. Ignore this paragraph, I'm just being stupid and emo and all :P
Song of the Week: Bat Country by Avenged Sevenfold. It just summarizes a lot of my life right now. Meh. Maybe I should have stuck with the hyperhappy tone I had in the beginning of the blog, now I'll be all mopey for the rest of the evening. Ah well.
