I'm not listening to any music right now, and it makes me very sad. That's cos AnJa's on the computer that has all the music, and she's playing games with sound so I can't listen to it. Which is tragic.
Last night I was on the computer gettin' ready to bust out some more working-on-layout stuff, but I couldn't see some colours on a scroll bar on this one site. Odbnoda.com, BTW. Which I went to because Slimu said they had custom scroll bars, and I wanted to find the HTML for that. Only the scroll bars all looked normal, so I was like "what's up with THAT?" and Slimu said "Well, they don't PUT the HTML on there, you have to view the source" and I was like "But why would they have HTML for custom scroll bars if there aren't any" and he was like "???" and I was like "there are no custom scroll bars on the site" and he said "wot do you mean by custom scroll bars" and I said "like with images and stuff" and he said "oh, I thought you meant coloured, which is wot they have" and I was like "??? I see no colours" and he was like "wot browser are you using?" and I was like "IE 5" and he said "??? it should work" so I downloaded IE 5.5 in case that would help. And I installed it, but then I had to restart, and then I restarted. And then there was a thunderstorm and the cable went out T_T So we shut down the konpyutaas and went to AnJa's room to watch Pokemon the Movie 2000 XD (the one whose cover we ruined) And we were watchin' the preview for Batman Beyond: The Joker Returns and saying how much we wanted a DVD player cos on DVD you can watch the uncut version of the movie and how awesome Batman abd Batman Beyond both are, cos they're soooo cool, and then the power went out T_T But it came back on in a couple of minutes. We watched Pikachu's Rescue Adventure and then went to shleep.
OH YA! And before we watched anything, I went into my room and there was this big spider on the wall. I'm not afraid of spiders, and I actually like them, but I wasn't sure I wanted a big spider in my room cos I had no way to know if it was a brown recluse or something. So I called AnJa and I was like "look at the spider." So she looked at it and then said "I don't know what a violin would look like if it were a spider's body." And this of course seemed completely random to me. Therefore, I said "huh?" and she said "The way you can tell if it's a brown recluse is that they're supposed to have a violin-shaped body." And I was like "it looks kind of violin-ish to me." So AnJa went and got a violin from her room O_X I have NO IDEA why she had it, Dad used to play it when he was in like middle school, and I played viola for about three days in 5th grade. Anyway, she got it and held it up near the spider and examined to see if it looked the same ;o And I personally thought it looked pretty violin-like, so I was all, "AnJa, get it out of my room." And she was like "what are you gonna do when I go off to college?" and I was like "Get it out of my room." So I went and got a glass and she used the glass and piece of paper and got the spider and we went downstairs and opened the door into the pouring rain and threw it outside XD Then I remembered this one time when there was a big ugly bug in my room and everyone else was asleep, so I put it in my lunchbox and closed it. Which means I CAN handle stuff like that if I have to, I just won't if I DON'T. Yaaay.
I guess last night I went to bed at about two or sommat. Then I went to sleep. And when I woke up, my clock was flashing 12.17 or something... and I knew that was wrong, cos, you know, power outage and everything. But I didn't know what time it actually *was*. And I thought to myself that since the power had gone out somewhere around two, if twelve hours had passed it meant it was about two in the afternoon. But I knew that was wrong. So I asked AnJa what time it was and she went into her room. And her clock said it was 2.20. And I was like "dude." Cos that means I slept for twelve hours, which I haven't done in a really long time O_o I mean, even when I go to bed at like three in the morning, I wake up at noon...
Then I had choir camp. Bah. I didn't wanna go today and I don't wanna go tomorrow but I'm going to anyway T_T Registration was from 5-7 pm, so I went at about 6 or something... I would have had to be there from 4.30 were I staying at the hotel, but since it's at a college here in town, I get to come home every night, yay! See, last year I, Keffy, AnJa and Rae went to one of these camps in a college far away in a little dump of a town. And it was sooo communist. I hated it. A lot. So, this one will be better, but I still don't feel like giving up three and a half days of my summer to sit in a room and learn music... I mean, I DO know that these camps really help a lot when auditioning for region and area and all, and it's gonna be worth it going to this, but I don't wanna do it cos it's a drag. u_u() One of the pieces is called "Ave Verum Corpus," which literally means "Body, hail the truth" O_o But the English title is "O Lord, Great Creator." ....right. And I looked through the Latin text and English lyrics, and seriously, the guy who "translated" it was just putting what his heart told him, because the English lyrics have *nothing* to do with the Latin! Like, one of the first parts is "natum de Maria virgine," which means "Born of the Virgin Mary," but the English lyrics say like "You are always with us in our need." O_o
Anyway, after all that was over, I went out to wait for mum and dad. I got out around 9, and the official pickup time for "commuting students" is 9.15, so I was just gonna hang for a while. Unfortunately mum and dad didn't arrive until 9.36 >_< They had been at a small group thing at someone's house, and it went late and they couldn't leave. So they came and were very sorry. And because they were sorry they let me drink another soda when I got home. XD Heh heh... but I finished it. ::looks at empty soda can mournfully::
While I was waiting all that time, I entertained myself by singing songs from Les Mis. Nobody else was around so they didn't hear me, except once I was singing "One Day More" and I got to the part where Enjolras sings "One more day before the storm!!" and I sang it, of course, and then I turned around and this person was there and I was like "Heh heh heh!" And she was like "*smile* Do you have a ride? *smile smile helpful*" and I was like "Heh heh! Well, my parents are gonna pick me up here, they're just late. Heh heh!" and she was like "*smile* Well there are some people upstairs still if you need to use the phone! *smile*" and I was like "Thanks, heh heh!" so she left. u_u()
Then mum and dad showed up and we drove home. And I talked about how I was worried and sad because Alto I is the biggest group of people auditioning, so it's hardest if you're an Alto I. Last year I sang Alto II, but Dowhy (voice teacher) and Scurlock (choir director) tell me first of all that I actually ought to be a soprano, and that because of my higher voice range, I should AT LEAST be an Alto I. So I registered as an Alto I, but I'm still worried. Because not only am I now in the largest group, they also redistricted, so now the competition is going to be even tougher in my area. And then I thought about how even though Dowhy and Scurlock both say I'm sooo good at singing high, I personally think I suck at singing high. Then mum was talking about being a soprano and how maybe it's the voice quality, not the actual notes, and some other stuff, and I started crying O_X ...that is also what sucks about being a chick. Sometimes you start crying for no reason >_< But mum and dad didn't notice because I cried silently. I have trouble with crying, don't I T_T
Blah. I guess that's about it for my wonderful (?) day. I fought Deus again with my new souped-up gear parts courtesy of Big Joe, but I had only one of those output-increaser thingums cos they're soo expensive, but everyone had 1000+ defense thanks to the new armor. And I still lost >_
