Hmm, so, people have only been out trick-or-treating for less than an hour in my neighborhood, and I already ran out of candy TWICE (the first time I refilled from my own personal candy stash and my TMNT fruit snacks, then after those ran out I dashed off to the store to buy another bunch of candy). It's kind of crazy because last year we had like ( Read more... )

Full disclosure: on my SAT essay, I wrote about Paris Hilton.

It was relevant to the question, I swear.

I now have a myspace.

So add me, or whatever you do over there.

Also, I'm not abandoning my lj for that, or anything. I like my livejournal much more than myspace. It's prettier.

I got my SAT scores back today ... 2260 out of 2400.

I had 800 reading, 720 math, and 740 writing (I left off an entire third of my essay, so I missed some major points for that).

I'm going to guess that score is some kind of awesome.

An example of why I am sometimes bad at writing college essays:

"Challenges are good. Lite-Brites are good, too, but that's mostly irrelevant."

*facepalm*

I'm beginning to think that it's not a good idea to try to write these things while in a funky mood. They come out entirely me, but more whimsical-me and less serious-academic-student-me. What ( Read more... )

This is insane and hilarious.

Also, Planarity is kind of addictive. I haven't yet made it past level 5.

This article is quite fascinating ...

“In general, higher rates of belief in and worship of a creator correlate with higher rates of homicide, juvenile and early adult mortality, STD infection rates, teen pregnancy and abortion in the prosperous democracies."

Am I the only one who is really frustrated that you evidently can't order this online? I mean, I thought you could order EVERYTHING online.

*sigh*

ETA: Also, my brother showed me how to use bittorrent, and, wheeee. It's kind of confusing to find files though. Labor-intensive. Bah.

It took my relatives coming from Houston a full 24 hours (they left at 4 am on Thursday, they got here five minutes ago) to get here. Normally, that trip takes only 4 hours.

Absolute insanity.

And now I have three tiny cousins sleeping in the living room and a weekend of watching inoffensive children's movies to look forward to.

Crazyass

I went to the Bishop Arts District block party earlier this evening ... It wasn't much fun until I found MK, then it became amusing. Our parents were dancing and that was kind of mortifying. We looked at paintings in an art gallery. I maintain that they were almost all about violent, gory death ( Read more... )
