Huh, they don't offer that at our high school... we only have AP US History and AP European History... why can't they offer that here, I like Asia's history...
Anywho, went out to eat for my mum's dinner... our waitress was awesome, so that kind of set us up for an awesome dinner. She was wicked funny, and everyone was in a good mood, and we were laughing so much I'm pretty sure all the other tables were like "wtf is so funny over there...?" I decided I wanted to be a food photographer, but my dad said he wouldn't love me anymore if I became one :P Lots of fun, and the food was nommy too!
Now... homework time!

Cheezdude is still super young and isn't in high school because of Canadian School systems (1-6, 7-9, 10-12), but he plans on taking AP for everything but English and his Options in his junior year.
Hi! You know Saber, I've read an article or two on what they do to prepare food for photographs. To make a long story short, you wouldn't want to eat most of that stuff. With cearal, for example, they often use glue instead of milk since it doesn't make the cearal soggy, holds its shape, and the like. Plus, they have to go in and manually position each flake (or O or whatever) to ensure that they make a nice arrangement. It's all very interesting, but if I was going to be a photographer food would be pretty low on my list.
My mom is out of town today and a lot of tomorrow. I have some work to get done but I'm thinking I might take advantage of having the house to myself, hook my PS3 up to the big TV, and try and marathon my way through Enslaved...
I'm agreeing with Josiah on that point, One of the teachers at tafe wrote a cook book and she showed us one of the photos in the book of some Turned Potatos, they were raw, aparently they covered them with some oil to make it shiney and parsley for some colour and took the photo.
Anyway I was looking up DFO, doesn't look like I'll be able to play it because I'm outside of America and Canada.
Redback, Funnel-Web, Blue-ringed octopus
Taipan, Tigersnake and a Box jellyfish
Stonefish and the poison thing that lives in a shell
That spikes you when you pick it up
The fake food doesn't only apply to picture ads, but video ads as well. Try taking a good look at them. They must be trying harder lately now that so many people have HDTVs.
Yup, I know they do all that wacky stuff, Tango had just been saying how one of the pictures of food looked good, so I decided to run away and become a food photographer :P
Soooooo feelin' very excited for RENT because they get the set up this week! The pit orchestra is gonna be on stage, so I can't wait to see where I'm gonna be :D Working on the music, too... super fun stuff!
Working on centripetal force in AP Physics B... fun stuff... kind of having some difficulties with it...
Beat the main plot on Phoenix Wright, got the 5th case... I really wanna play it but I need to finish Physics work >.<
May the Triforce be with you.

You're gonna be playing music for RENT? I love that musical!
To days of inspiration, playing hooky
Making somethin' out of nothin'
The need to express, to communicate
Going against the grain, going insane
Going maaaaaAAaaaAAAd

...I think you get the idea :P That was all off the top of my head. I know every word to that freakin' song :P Of course, the sheet music is so weird for it... it changes key SO OFTEN IT'S ABSURD! And there are a million time changes... and there's one measure of 1/4... like... wtf!? "Oh, whoops, I wrote an extra beat... Uhm.... ONE MEASURE OF 1/4 GO!"
...what? It's the explanation I thought of...

At least not untill 11th grade...but...I want to know what it's about so badly, plus...I have a little rule, "No movie, untill bookie!" and I really want to see the movie....so...badly...
Ah, but for now, I must itty spat, for it is nochy. Maybe tomorrow, i'll filly a eegra or dva. It may sound like I'm skazat chepooka, or i'm acting like a nazz, but i'm not. So, I smeck at you!

Hi! I was driving past Gamestop yesterday and noticed that they had their yearly buy two get one free used game sale going on so I stopped in (besides, I wanted to get Kirby's Epic Yarn). Turns out they also just started a point card program. On the one hand, that's pretty cool since I buy tons of stuff at Gamestop. On the other hand, I did the math and you only get 1% back on new game purchases and 2% on used. So yeah, my new Gamestop rewards account now has (thanks to all the sign up bonuses) about 75 cents worth of points. I predict that, in two or three years, I'll have enough points for a $10 gift card. Um, yay... Better than nothing though.
As a comparison, here's a quick comparison list of my frequently used store bonus cards.
Best Buy: Free. $5 gift card for every $250 spent (2.5%) plus a $10 gift card for every $150 spent on video game stuff (an extra 6.66%) and occasional 10% off coupons and special deals. Purchases take about a month to update though.
Barnes & Noble: Costs $20 a year. 10% off all purchases (20% off some items), free shipping for online orders, and occasional additional 15% off coupons.
Borders: Free or $20 a year for the pro card. Huge amount of 30% off coupons, occasional $5 gift cards (they have a kinda weird system for those), occasional 10% off everything days, plus 10% off everything if you have the pro card.
Gamestop: Free or $15 for the pro card. You get points that can be traded for gift cards and other things. Going off the cash value of the rewards it goes like this... 1% of new purchases, 2% of used purchases, and occasional special contests. 10% point boost on every purchases (so another .1% or .2%), 10% off on used stuff and strategy guides, some bonus points when signing up, a Game Informer subscription. Purchases take an unknown amount of time to update.
Yodobashi Camera: (Ok, so I could only use this one when in Japan, but it's the most awesome by far.) Free. You get store credit equal to 10 - 20% of all purchases (varies depending on what you're buying) that can be used as soon as the next day.
So yeah, nothing in the US even conmes close to Yodobashi's card.
Hello. I've seen the responses on many of my confession thread, and I have to say, I'm pretty pleased by them. I'll try not to act like an idiot from now on, but I still can misstep and whoops... there goes my self-esteem.
Other than that, my life has been pretty good so far. But my scandal has also forced me into a slight depression, so I feel that I need a hiatus. I'll try to make it at least three weeks.
I really love you all. You are some of the greates people in the world.
Argh. School computer again. Don't want the teachers thinking I'm doing anything "suspicious" so I'm trying to make it look like I'm doing a paper or something. Not that easy when I know I don't have anything to do and I just want to fool around.
So, I was watching a video of Carl Sagan explaining the 4th dimention. Now, ever so often, I just randomly yell out "Hypercube!" 'cause...the definition of it was very complicated. For the past 2 periods, i've been drawing them for fun. It's not that simple though, since I have a limited space to draw. They always end up looking...squished. Ah, well.
I'm bored now. Might as well look at some dictionarys or something....(I am in a library after all)

Pit rehearsal for RENT was today! Super fun, except kind of frusturating, 'cos I can play the parts at home but when we put it all together, it's either faster or slower than I'd practiced, and I can have anywhere between 1 and 162 measures of rest in a row and I miss my entrance because it's not usually obvious and... ugh. Makes me feel like kind of an idiot becuase they might not think I worked on it and I did work hard >.<
Now listening to one of the songs that isn't in the movie recording, and I've only listened to it a couple times before as a result... It's one of my fav parts in the show, though :D Except, I don't know how much they're going to censor the bag lady because she's freakin' hilarous... probably gonna change "Who the f*** do you think you are?! I don't need no godd*** help" and "This lost is FULL of MOTHERF***** ARTISTS!" which is one of the best lines in the show... right up there with "For mommy's sake, make sure you wear a dress. Oh, and, kitten have a merryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy." "And a braaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!"
Such a great show~ My band director (he's on bass) and the chorus teacher (piano) were singing along to most stuff for the sake of vocal cues (well, I'm pretty sure the chorus teacher was singing it for the fun of it, 'cos he sang a lot more :P )... I also sung along when I knew the part and wasn't playing, which was a good deal of the time :P

I've had a really good day today. Lost a friend, but I'll get over it since I've made about two new pretty good friends at school. Well, the problem was... I had a cold the entire day, and it took a while for me to settle down. I'm feeling better now, but I don't know if I have the strength to play some guitar or piano. Boy, my life has gotten much better since I became a sophomore in High School.
EVERYONE:
My new post in my Help Center is now up. It's to be taken very seriously for all those who are in need of friendship help. I really hope I can carry out the message to y'all, whether it helps or not, but I think I love you all who made me a better forum member ever since I was White Samurai. If any of y'all have the time, I'd like you to check it out. Thanks guys.
