Ah, well, life still sucks, but I'm enjoying reading D/Hr fanfiction too much to care at the moment.

Took the SAT this morning. Lovely way to spend a Saturday--trapped in an unfamiliar, maze-like school in an unfamiliar room with unfamiliar people, taking a test that you haven't really prepared for, excepting a small flurry of studying with your friends the night before. I also made the mistake of not eating breakfast, so I was hungry most of the time...but afterwards I went to Subway with Kai and Emiko and I discovered that I enjoy turkey subs with pickles, lettuce and mustard. Mmmm.

Anyway, there is new (late --) Karma--and it says I updated the gallery but actually I'm too distracted by fanfictiony goodness to do so...tomorrow, tomorrow. x__x I'm also thinking seriously of continuing that HP story I began (although in a re-reading I can already see that the first part needs edits.. :\)...

I feel drained... the SAT is tomorrow...ugh... -__- There will be Karma, but not until a bit past midday tomorrow, probably... I know I've said this a lot, but life.. like.. sucks right now. x__x Not just for me, but for a lot of people, it seems--and certainly the general state of affairs sucks. Just have to do the best you can with what you have, I guess.

Ouch. My mind is reeling from the sheer vitriol of that article, too much so to even begin a rebuttal. o__o

It's kind of weird to be sitting here and knowing that my country is blowing things up in a place I've never been to... I don't know how I feel about the bombing. I wish we could have found some other way of forcing out bin Laden. But I'm not all that knowledgeable on the situation so I don't think I have room to spout off much. I'm just glad that at least we're being careful about it...or taking every measure possible to be careful, anyway...

I just failed a Physics test (because I didn't have time to finish.. God I hate that class x__X) but otherwise I'm actually in a good mood.. o_o Working on the next KS.. and I got some neat fanart today (namely a very cute/somewhat disturbing Karma mini-comic thing X3 X3), which always cheers me up. X3

Today sucks, too. XP; The forecast for tomorrow doesn't look good either. I wish it were summer again. -_-

Sigh... today sucks.

This has got to be one of the biggest pieces of tripe ever. First of all, the character portrayed as most foolish in the series (Neville, whom I love, but who is still written as a frightened fool) is a BOY. Second, Hermione is NOT a bitch, she's SMART. People will always resent those of intelligence, and the boys--and everyone else's--reaction to Hermione's work ethic and natural ability is definitely not out of the norm as well as being perfectly illustrated by Ms Rowling. Hermione does what's best while the boys are reckless, but she can still break the rules WHEN IT'S NECESSARY--after all, who bitch slapped Draco? Not Ron or Harry. Who always knows the spells to solve a problem (example--when she made Harry's glasses repel water)? Hermione.

As for McGonagall--she's not cruel, she's FAIR. She's cruel just because she expects people to follow the rules and not make excuses? Because she refuses to show favortism and rarely bends the rules? What is wrong with this stupid writer (who's male, incidentally)? The women in HP are strong and smart--this makes them whining bitches? I think this writer is the chauvinist, here.

Ke ke ke, thank you to everyone who said nice things in regards to my physical appearance...apparently you all have the ability to look past my fat arms. X3

Ugh, my nice 91 average in Physics is going to be slaughtered by the lab I handed in today... I know that our group did it all wrong, largely in part because she wouldn't allow us to ask questions (her reasoning behind this was that she had gone over it the previous day, which was a half-truth, since she kept messing up in her demonstration and being generally vague).

Today was a rough day in general.. Besides that lab, I managed to score two zeros in a row in Advanced Alg. & Trig (fortunately she's only taking the 9 highest grades for our interims, so hopefully they'll both be dropped -_-)--we had a one problem quiz, I missed the problem, and she took up the ONE WARM UP that I, for some inexplicable reason, didn't have. I had every other warm up BUT this one. ARGH. o_o Then I had to give a presentation on the figura in T.S. Eliot's Murder in the Cathedral for AP English, and if you know me, then I've probably told you about what a hopeless case I am in front of large groups of people--especially my classmates. On several occasions, I've broken down crying, and there were a few times when I've asked the class to turn around because I couldn't bear them looking at me while I talked. -__-; Every time I have to present or talk in front of everyone, my heart beats so fast and hard I can hear it, my breath gets shallow... I just totally freak out, basically. Fortunately my teacher assured me that I did fine, even though Kai said I spoke too fast. -__- I have a ton of French work to do as well..and we had a quiz that I was completely unprepared for since I was too busy being nervous about English. ^^;

I know that was terribly boring to everyone out of high school, but it sure made me feel better...and that's the whole point of this blog anyway...

Woo, HP fandom is overwhelming in its magnitude and intensity... o__o

I feel a little better today, but that may just because I haven't been up for very long yet, so loneliness and despair haven't had time to set in. I have to draw the next Karma, and more importantly, do a project-thing for AP English.. ugh... I'm resisting that with all my procrastinating might. x__X
