For those of you who are on my buddy list on AIM, MSN, or Yahoo: Even though I'm usually on the computer all the time, School unfortunately has started. Where I am, that means that I am technically away/idle from about 6:00 AM to around 3:00 PM. I've noticed that a few friends IM me between these times and then sign off a while later. To them: I am very sorry that you caught me at a time where I wasn't at the computer. I was at school at the time. Maybe an away message would help...or signing off before I go to school XD
School is...well I don't really know how to describe it. I'm doing more of my work than I used to do and I've become a lot better in my study habits now so I guess that's a good thing. I switched foreign languages from Spanish to German, and now I wish I had done it in 9th grade. It's SO much easier than Spanish! The people who speak in the listening activities are a lot slower than the people in the spanish ones so I can actually, Y'know, PICK OUT THE ANSWERS instead of staring blankly at the tape recorder and sluggishly scribbling a circle around an answer that sort of sounded like what I heard.
I've been on Gaia Online a lot recently, but it gets kinda lonely there since my friends that have accounts on there are never online anymore. That's kind of sad but I manage. The little avatars are fun to draw, but unfortunately the place is crawling with 'n00bs'-Twitch- Otherwise known as people who should be taught proper spelling and grammar before touching a keyboard.
Oh, another thing that I don't usually mention but probably should; Next Tuesday is the 27, and I become 18. In other words, "I'M LEGAL" next Tuesday. I'm not sure if I'll plan anything for my birthday, since it's on a schoolday as well as a day where I have to stay after school for Algebra tutoring. Such an evil little subject...I loathe it so. I'll bet nothing interesting will happen then. My birthday's never been anything different from a normal day, not since I was a little girl. I think the 'special' in the term 'special occasion' was taken out four years ago at age 13. Oh well, it'll feel nice to say "I'M LEGAL!" on Tuesday when joking with my friends in the morning. We don't have the same lunch together and that's also kind of depressing since this IS my last year of High School...
As far as what I'll do after school, I'm still not sure. I want to get a good education in art. I love to draw and I feel sometimes I would cease to exist if I couldn't draw anymore. If only I wasn't so lazy and really thought about things like this, but my online social life sort of eclipses everything esle, which is another sad fact about myself. The two things I would even remotely show interest in, major-wise is foreign language and of course art. I love learning about foreign cultures (this country bores me to tears sometimes) so of course I'd like to learn to communicate with others in perhaps their native tongues. Funny thing is, everyone in the world seems to be learning English.
Online life is pretty much my alternate life. Since most of my irl friends are in the marching band or governor school or something special like that, I have to rely on either my movies or my online friends to keep me sane...Well, the anime conventions help too (Otakon *_*). Maybe I'll bring a little notebook next time I go to one so that I can get some numbers and screen names, thus expanding my circle of friends.
RPs are pretty much my form of crack. I cannot get enough of them because each time I post something I feel I've improved a little more. This little hobby has been my own ever since I learned of this wonderful thing called AIM back in the 8th grade. I've been doing this for at least six years or so now so I have garnered quite a bit of confidence in my skills. Hey, even if I read stuff from some elitist moron or someone like that, I still don't get discouraged. Why? Because a vast majority of them possess one weakness that is my blessing: The ability to spell correctly. Being a 'spelling nazi' as I start to call it, has its disadvantages, especially when you're nitpicky like me. Like for example, I see certain words that are misspelled constantly and the frequency of this mistake hurts my brain to the point where I actually flinch when I see them. Tell me, do any of you feel like laughing your ass off whenever some god-moder starts going off on a tangent about how their little mary-sue/gary-stu is so powerful and wonderful and whatnot and then misspells an easy word like 'dying' "DIEING"? If not, I must be insane. ^_^
Well, that's my little rant for the month. Now it's off to read old RPs, draw, or perhaps watch some anime!
