ahem. i have a new and quite possibly improved username.

it took me fucking forever to find a name nobody else has (someone has logorrhea, for fuck's sake!). in any case, you should add me, because otherwise i will hunt you down and cry on your doorstep about how nobody loves me.

so right now the rest of the world is at prom. and do you want to know where i am? NOT AT PROM. man, i am so cool. actually, to really qualify as cool i'd have to be out vandalizing stuff or dealing crack, but being lame and going to see stick it with my brother and sister is really just as good. the important thing is that i'm wearing baggy pants ( Read more... )

i thought the ap us history exam yesterday sucked (three essays in a row = death), but taking the sat today was one of the most awful experiences of my entire life. i spent FIVE AND HALF HOURS at the testing center, thanks in part to having to wait 45 minutes in line, during which time i had the treat of listening to the kids behind me analyze ( Read more... )

according to my sat prep software, the writing section is important because a good score will help me get into the school of my choice, thus landing me a good job with which i can "crush all the people who laughed at me in high school." i had no idea that standardized tests were so instrumental to revenge plans ( Read more... )

i just had a "you know you're a nerd when" moment. the scene: i was collecting the materials necessary for doing my math homework, when i noticed that my calculator was nowhere to be found. panic! i frantically searched through my backpack and the nearby area, and was just starting to freak out in the special way you do whe you think you've lost an ( Read more... )

over the last couple weeks, i've out of nowhere become completely, pathetically obsessed with colleges. i can't even talk about anything else. my parents and i sit down at the dinner table and, without preamble, immediately launch into a discussion of brown's acceptance rate (17%!) or northwestern's quarter system (major drawback). the best way to ( Read more... )

i keep being too lazy to update this stupid thing. oh well. the more practice sat tests i take, the more appallingly low scores i get. it makes me nervous because i will not accept anything less than stellar on the real thing. the worst part, though, is that i'm only taking the practice tests to avoid thinking about the ap us history test, which ( Read more... )

congratulations, self. i have just completed two fairly major assignments (however shittily) and it's not even 4 am yet. i love how everyone signs off of aim one by one until it's just me and my cat. not that my cat has has aim; you know what i mean ( Read more... )

for all accounts and purposes, today was a successful day. the infamous first day back after a break was survived with only minor agony, best-friend-shaped fences were mended, i managed to complete one or two important tasks while putting off a number of others, and the court brief i nearly had a coronary over was apparently good enough to be put ( Read more... )

i finally left my house in order to go shopping in burlington, which was fun despite my sister waking me up obnoxiously early (10:30, shut up) and putting me in a pissy mood. my dad made us wait for over an hour at borders, which was great in the end because he felt guilty and decided to buy us off with cds. i got saves the day's through being cool ( Read more... )
