Whenever I'm in class and supposed to be doing a write, but they're talking and I can't start writing yet, my fingers always get away from me on the blank Word document. I'm incapable of being at a keyboard and not typing something. So I usually end up watching Greg or Sarah talk while things like lyrics or emoticons appear at random on my screen.
Oh, man, you should have seen me discovering the joys of the alt+numberpad commands. (Being laptop'd means I'm totally ignorant about them.) Had to find the ë in Charlotte Brontë, which is alt+137, so I started playing with the assorted commands. "Look! The ë! And another one! -- omg, if you do this it makes a note! Another note! -- OMG A SMILEY FACE. AND ANOTHER NOTE. And more ës! ... ...Right, essay."
...ummm. Sort of. Fell asleep in PE and Latin, and kept zoning out while writing my USH DBQ, and am really tired now but have craploads of work. And may end up having to go to the slava tonight, raaaar. -- But I'm surviving. Really. XD
...Actually, I'm writing an essay on Jane Eyre. Comparing and contrasting Helen Burns and Mr. Brocklehurst. We were...er...pretending to brainstorm. And diction came up, because our teacher is always saying how people constantly write "the author uses diction" or whatever.
I wish my english and history teachers would let us take home our essays. But they're always timed writes, and I've never been allowed to take a DBQ home. Wah.
That sounds like me when I'm trying to write an essay, too, though I usually don't actually type what I'm thinking. I think it'd be fun to try it your way from now on, though I'd be scared that I'd actually print it out in a half-asleep daze and turn my gibberish in to the teacher. xD

Oh my goat. I love alt+numberpad commands. You can make an Al face. Look at this. I mean, look at this. °w° <-- An Al face. My life? She is complete.
...Wait, you'd need to know FMA to get that.
Did you survive all right on three hours of sleep? ;_;
