I'm full of energy and angst! My GameCube is broken, like five days after the warranty expired! Suffering is inevitable! All suffering is caused by desire! My suffering is caused by the desire to have a GameCube that's not freaking broken! SYLLOGISM PROVES THAT THE BUDDHA WAS RIGHT. What? That's not even a real syllogism. HA HA! Let's all have fun! I took the SATII: Writing today. There were a lot of questions involved in using infinitives as nouns. That sort of annoyed me because I'm not quite sure what the policy on that is, which means that if I got one wrong, I got all of those wrong. BLARGH HARGH HARGH! I'm sort of tired, but mostly just full of ANGST! Grr.

How cool am I to write a journal entry? Oh yes.

I've almost completed the first semester of my senior year. My schedule this year is Computer Science I (turns out I'm the only senior in that class, ha ha, and it's really easy and there are these frightening annoying fanpeople in it who never stop talking about 8-Bit Theater and various Final Fantasy games and anime), Economics AP (THIS CLASS IS FREAKING DIFFICULT because my brain just like... doesn't go that way... but I still manage to get low A's but I have to study and nothing's ever really clicked so that's not good, but Mr Harvey is the teacher and he's cool, only I'm disgruntled because we can't take AP exam for it until May and by then we won't have been in this class for a whole semester so if we don't want to FAAAAAIL we gots to buy a used textbook and go to a bunch of review things), choir (Scurlock is still insane and overflowing with ire as she was last year, and the choir itself still has like 70 people in it which is TOO MANY PEOPLE), Calculus AB-AP (it's actually sort of easy, and I'm happy because I'm in a class with Chris and Kat), Geology/Meteorology/Oceanography (It was going to be all "hooray for fun class" but since so many people took it, they had to get a new teacher to teach it in addition to the one who taught when my sister took it, and the new teacher that I got is not a teacher who is very liked. Most people hate him; I don't hate him, I just don't like him, and the class isn't fun, and I was thinking about dropping it for a long time, but I decided not to since Jennifer J. who's cool is in that class and that's how I met her, and so is Megumi-san whose surname I don't know but she's from Japan and she's super cute XP), study hall (BANZAI), Latin IV AP (AENEAS IS SO GAY, HA HA HA), and English IV AP (Mrs Ross is soooo laid back, I luvs her, and Crime and Punishment is a sexy book).

Notice something! NOTICE IT! NOW!

You were meant to notice that I no longer have Soundsations! WHO IS COOL? THAT WOULD BE ME. Well, I did try out for it and make it. But then there was a scheduling problem with Latin IV. Because Soundsations is at 7th period and only then, and same with Latin IV. Even though I knew I'd rather be in Latin than in Soundsations, I feared the guilt Scur would inevitably give me. Still, I was strong (yes! Courage! I had to drink that stuff! You know!) and chose to take Latin :o It turns out if I hadn't, there would not have been enough people in that class, and it would have been disbanded entirely. Thus am I the hero who saves Latin and doesn't have to take Soundsations anymore. All the other people in it are jealous of me because they don't want to take it either but they can't get out =| It's not very good this year. I feel bad for the people in it. =/ Scur is... I think she should take a long vacation or retire or something. She's just stretched too thin, and she has been for two years. I can tell she's unhappy, and I wish she weren't, but there isn't anything I can do... I think the problem is that she doesn't admit to herself that she's taken on too much... so nothing ever gets better. Argh. Badness.

I am voice actress LIKE FOR REAL! Makes me all giddy and excited XD! I skipped calculus on the very first day of school and went up to Austin to record on the dub of Sakura Wars, haw haw. I'm not a real *character*, I'm just in crowd scenes and have a couple lines from random people who show up in one scene (like, I'm a saleswoman who says "It's an honour to have you in our store!" and other stuff in unison with other saleswomen). I also did more of that last Wednesday! It's so fun I love it a lot |O~ And I have an audition to be a REAL character, not just a voice extra, in the dub of Eden's Bowy. I hope I get a role! So happy! Yay!

Yeah. So. I'm a fangirl. But some people are too much of fangirls (or fanboys). I don't know, it seems like these people take their fandom beyond just liking whatever the thing it is and start liking the fact that they like it. ...does that make sense? Probably not. I was complaining about some people who seem to me to take 8BT fandom a little too pathetically far to my friend Bry, and he was like "what's 8BT?" so I link him to it and he loved it and now he likes to bother me on purpose by IMing me saying "Today's 8BT was so funny!" and I'm like "ha ha, shut up." I luvs me Bry even though he annoys me on purpose. CURSE YOU, BRY!

Falco is in Star Fox Adventures! I haven't gotten to where he is yet, and I don't know how much or where or in what capacity he's in it, I just know he is, because I axed my cousin Dan if he was but told him I wanted no spoilers. So he's in it. And Dan is also the coolest because he let me borrow the game when he finished it so I don't have to buy it!!!11 Because I'm poor!1 I luvs me Dan even though he's like three feet taller than I am. CURSE YOU, DAN! (I'm going for a theme here).

So I got halfway through SFA, and now my freaking GAMECUBE IS BROKEN. I luvs me GameCube even though it's FREAKING BROKEN. CURSE YOU, GAMECUBE!

So it's been about five months since I've written. Longest gap between entries to date... so in terms of how many entries were written while it was up, the Sage layout was the shortest-lived. But I think in terms of how LONG it was actually up, it's the longest-lived. What's wrong with me?? I'm a freak! So's Escad. That's why I luvs him. That and I like his hair. A LOT!

Kay, I want to talk about Escad because I like him, and I'm like the only person who does XD() Legend of Mana spoilers are here, I guess. See, everyone always criticises Escad because he's self-righteous and it seems that he wants to get rid of Irwin just because of his own prejudices or because he doesn't like the fact that Matilda likes him, or something... and they're like "he doesn't appreciate free will" or whatever, I don't know. But the thing is... in the end, isn't he the one who turns out be right? Irwin DID want to try to destroy everything. People are always "he was wrong to want to kill Irwin!" But you yourself have to kill Irwin anyway at the end of the thread, no matter whose side you take along the way. Also, Escad has the best hair of anyone in the game.

I replayed Majora's Mask. YAAAY. Argh! I finally got it! I can't believe what's wrong with me! (Majora's Mask spoilers now!!!) .... IT'S THE HAPPY MASK SALESMAN! It IS him! He's Majora! Ah what's wrong with me that I never got that?? If you take a good look at the Majora kids in the moon, you can TELL it's him! Wow! That's so weird! I wish the official manga would finish getting translated so I could read it. By the way, everyone should read the translations of the official OoT and Majora's Mask mangas. They're sexy <3. Here you go. Go to the "manga" section to read it ;o

I originally was going to make a layout with a sexy picture of Link and Sheik, but I failed because it kept sucking, so I decided to make this layout instead. You can check out the sucking layout in its various incarnations (all of which suck) here, here, here, and here. But after I had made this layout, I sort of wanted to make a layout of Tom Riddle in the second Harry Potter movie because he is so very yummy. Only I couldn't find any good pictures of him... so I decided not to. I wanted to make the subtitle of the layout "Voldemort's Oldschool Things" because Dumbledore says "Voldemort's old school things" in the movie and the second time I saw it I heard "oldschool" and thought that was funny. o_o

My quest for Tom Riddle, though it went unfinished, yielded something good. I found a totally, completely, preciously adorable picture of Harry and Draco from the first movie. They were soooo young! I mean, it's only been a bit over a year between the movies, but they look so much younger o_o And it's a really, REALLY cute picture. Anyway, I was showing it to everyone because it was so cute. XD() And then Nezu was doing image searches on random Japanese names and stuff, and she kept finding weird stuff like some guy who was 30% hot, and another guy with bad teeth, and a sign taped to a chain-link fence that says "chotto mattete ne <3". (basically translating to "hang on a little, kay <3"). And I thought that SIGN was INCREDIBLY CUTE and HILARIOUS. So I showed it to Hans and was like "if Malfoy were holding this sign instead of a lantern in that picture" (Malfoy is holding a lantern in the picture because it's a picture from when Harry and Malfoy were in the Forest of Darkness or whatever) "it would be CUTEST THING EVER." So Hans is the best person in the world and he made me THIS! AWWW!! I couldn't stop laughing when I saw it XD()() I even thought about scrapping this layout yet again and making one featuring that image (the subtitle would probably have been "hang on a little, kay <3").

I heart Alan Rickman.

I made 2nd chair at pre-area auditions! YES! I really want to make All-State again this year, and I want to make it to SATB All-State instead of just Treble like I did last year because I actually really like the mixed music this year (it sucked last year), and also Z. Randall Stroope is going to be the SATB clinician at All-State. AnJa had him as clinician when she was in All-State a couple years ago, and apparently he is super cool. So I really want to get to SATB All-State. Yes.
