Return of the Revenge of the Son of Saying Hi to Josiah!

[Saber Knight]

Hey.
*shiver*
It's friggin cold in here! Our heater's busted. I woke up this morning freezing cold!
Gah...I hate this. It's hard to type--my fingers keep shivering! So cold...
Believe it or not, I can't wait to get to school. It's warmer there!

I've been having a bad week. First off, I got stuck in Concert Band instead of Symphonic Band(Concert's for Freshmen and Sophomores, Symphonic's for Juniors and Seniors). That's really giving me a bad time. Then I can't get into my e-mail. Now I have to read these Pathophysiology books for HOSA bowl. Well, that last one may not be so bad. It did lift my spirits a little bit, even if the shere amount of books shocked me a bit. Also, I was already in a constently slightly melencholy mood when I couldn't see two of my best friends at all for the school year.

It's possible I may be in deppresion.

OHNOES GAR! You can't be depressed! you just need to find something that you love and hold onto that!

I know it may seem that every silver lining has a huge, dark storm cloud but you have to remember that that silver lining is still there and it's very shiny!

What's not shiny, captain, is the fact that I don't have my laptop... and I have to go away for 2 days!

WAAAAH!! No MSN! No PVF! No.. No... *sob* MY FRIENDS LIVE ON MY COMPUTER!!! *cries*

But at least I get to see my Grandma!

I certainly don't hate you, The N00b... I mean, you get on my nerves some times, but who doesn't? ...Not counting Josiah (Baking Yakitate! Japan style bread = epic). And, like, Shauni... and Stevenson... and Saber... and-Well, anyway. Thinking back to when The N00b was actually a n00b... he's come a long way, right? I dare say I'm proud of 'im. And of the amazing powers of Pebble Version.

Heso! So... Yesterday. Closing night of I'm getting Murdered in the Morning. So I for school at 7 AM, anime club at 2, Started watching Titanic at 3, call time at 4, show at 6, over at 8, went to McDonald's after that, had a mini-cast party, didn't get home until 10. Thank God I didn't have any homework...

And Titanic is the worst movie ever.

Angst, angst, angst, spam, and angst. Definitely failed a midterm just now. Four more next week, 2 formal lab reports and an essay due next wednesday. I am honestly drained, I don't even have the urge to study anymore. Oh, and I have the flu too. And apparently I have a slow heart - about 50 beats per minute. The nurse who counted it actually looked surprised.
tl;dr: I'm feeling depressed and don't know how to cheer up.

Hi! It looks like I'm going to be getting a fuf chair today (like a beanbag chair, but filled with foam). Not that I really need another chair (though it wouln't hurt cause I don't have a couch so living room seating is kinda limited), but I had been considering getting one eventually and a good friend of mine, who really needs the money, is selling his so I figured I'd help him out.

There's gonna be a cosplay chess game at my school tonight. I thought about joining in but I didn't have a ton of time to spend making a costume and I'd have to cut class too (my class doesn't end till after the game's already started) so I didn't. But I will swing by after class to have a look.

[Blastotoise]

YAY! I feel so loved. Anyway, There's an E in my name Jo, I was referring to Terra, Shadowman, and SILVER'S PROUD OF ME! YAY! I don't care if it's just for my improved grammar skills. YOU ALL SAW IT!

And YAY AGAIN! I got my xbox back the other day. Go me.

And I really need to pick up Saint's Row 2, but you really don't seem like the type of person to play that game Shauni...

[Siranae]

Man, a lot of people are seeming down in the dumps as of late. I've been feeling kinda sad too, but I won't get into it now.

It's probably just because the weathers finally starting to get colder, and more miserable. But that also means that snow's coming! So put a spoon under your bed, or, put toothpaste on your nose or something.

I really am hoping for a lot of snow this year, because we might go for a weekend trip to snowboard. It's the first time I've convinced my family to go somewhere cold for a change :P

Hey.
I'm in a bad mood too. Today, at marching band practice, we were watching the video of our show at finals. The show is 3 songs, and the 2nd is a ballad for the most part.
So, there's this one part where trumpets (me) and clarnets have the melody for about a measure, but really you can only hear the trumpets. My fingering (there are 3 valves on a trumpet for all who don't know) is 2nd valve, no vavles, first valve. So, I played the first note, then went to the second but my valve got stuck, so I immediatly stopped playing the note (after less than half a second of playing the note), and just rested for the 3rd note because I was still getting my valve unstuck. No big deal, there are other people playing the part, right?

Well, guess what? As far as you could hear on the video, I WAS THE ONLY FRIGGIN' PERSON PLAYING! It sounded AWFUL when there was the wrong note for less than half a second, then nothingness. GAWD! Everyone in the band noticed. They were all *gasp* and I was all "O DAMN!", but not out loud. I felt awful, becuase everyone was mumbling about it for the next thirty seconds or so, or saying "Oh no!". I'm pretty sure my face was reddning, though I was trying to laugh like others were doing. The only flippin' mistake I make is when EVERYONE CAN HEAR! And that part isn't even hard! I've messed up a couple times during practice, all due to sticky valves, but it had to happen at FINALS! GAHHHH!!

I really felt like running into a corner right then, but I didn't. Some guy from another section asked my friend (who is a trumpet) who was the one who messed up, and thought my friend woud rat me out (it would be a thing he'd do), but he instead said "It's a classified trumpet secret." I felt like hugging him right there. Really.

Oh, but the part that I was actually worried about me and my friend nailed. It's really hard, but on the video it sounded fantastic. We were excited about that (though I was still really upset at the earlier preformance).

[Giga-Gar]

Hey saber, in my band, we wouldn't be talking about why a single person didn't play. we would be talking about why none of the Clarinets and Trumpets wern't playing. That, and we'd be a bit happy about the only trumpet who was playing.

*sigh* My teacher gave us a gothic writing assignment that's due tomorrow. I'm doing a short story about these kids that sneak into Disneyland at night to investigate what really goes on in the Haunted Mansion after hours. Turns out, the mansion really is haunted and is trying to kill the kids and make them part of the attraction.

[Saber Knight]

Yeah, we have three trumpets, as I think I've mentioned.
One of them is 1st trumpet in that song (I'm 1st in the other two songs, but 2nd in the evil one), and right after that trumpets and mellophone have the melody, but 1st trumpet has it an octave up. So, he usually takes the evil measure as time to relax his lips, so it's usually just me and one other trumpet (and the 1st clarinets (mabye second, not sure) of course). But he didn't play!
Gaah....I felt sooo awful...everyone noticed and was saying something....whyyyy? I did so well otherwise, but obviously this one bad thing is all I'm going to remember.

My column in my math class were almost, aaaaaaaalmost going to get extra credit for answering all questions correctly. curse the last 2 students! They answered incorrectly! ):<

Konnichiwa.
Wow, this must be a streak of bad luck or something. I was annoyed to the point of almost crying when I got my math midterm back this morning. It wasn't that bad of a score; 16.5 out of 20. What annoyed me, though, was that I'd been marked off on the third problem because apparently I didn't show all my work. It was something to do with limits. And when you take the limit of a rational function when x approaches infinity, you divide numerator and denominator by the highest power of x, therefore turning most of the equation into insignificantly tiny fractions, so you can essentially substitute in a 0 for them. Whoever graded our exams wrote "Why?" next to this and took off half a point. Whaddya mean, WHY, we were friggin' TAUGHT to do it that way. >>
That person also wrote "meaning what?" when I explained how the equation is discontinuous at certain points because if you plugged them in, the denominator became a zero. Lost half a point for that, too. Gee, I didn't know I had to explain that if the denominator of a fraction is zero, the whole thing would blow up. I figured it was common knowledge. Apparently not.
I was also annoyed that I lost half of the total points when assigning a possible equation to a graph. I'd used logic to figure out the equation (which was 3 sin 2x + 4), but you were apparently supposed to use a separate set of equations to determine amplitude and period and all that crud. That was completely my fault though, since I missed lecture that day. Still annoyed me, since the grader (and my TA, when I asked him about it) simply assumed that since I didn't use the equations, I'd used a graphing calculator to figure it out. If that were the case, though, I wouldn't have bothered drawing out the graphs of sin x, sin 2x, and 3 sin 2x to show how I'd arrived at the solution I did. And I have no real way of proving that I DIDN'T use a graphing calculator, either. "My calculator was out of batteries" sounds too much like a lie. - -
Next time I have a math midterm, I'm gonna drown my answers in explanations for every little thing I did no matter how stupidly obvious it is. Dang overly-critical exam graders.

ouch.
hope thay improves. >_>

For all those interestid, here's a tidbit of my writing project.

So it was no suprise that Allen, now 17 and still captivated by the Mansion's macrebre prescence, planned to visit the Haunted Mansion on his favorite time of the year. All Hallows Eve. It was on this night that the manor's thankfully false ghosts become real. It was on this night that the paintings' "following" eyes were no longer an optical illusion. It was on this night that Haunted Mansion was well and trully haunted. It was on this night that Allen planned to experience this phenominon first hand.

So, basicly, he wants to go into the attraction after park hours to see what goes on in the house of 999 haunts with room for one more(any takers?)

What do you think so far?
