Snow days and Scheduling Classes

In a perfect world I would have Scheduled my classes either yesterday, or Thursday, but seeing as we had two snow days it was not to be.

As for what classes I'm taking? I still don't know. The poll says that my classes should be as follows (The *ed once picked by the poll):

-IB English

-IB history

-IB physics

-IB math studies

-Sociology

-Architecture drawing

-Engineering Drawing* or IB Theater Arts* (Its a tie)
But theres a slight problem, which I guess makes the tie obsolete.. They aren’t offering IB Theater Arts, only IB Acting 2. And once again (as teachers seem to love doing) I've been demanded to take IB Acting 2 by a teacher. So, I guess that I'm gonna be taking Sociology, Architecture Drawing, and IB Acting 2, with Engineering Drawing and Psychology as my back ups.

I hate choosing classes.

Think Of Me

So I've read the Phantom of the Opera- the origional novel (1800s), Phantom-the story of his life (1980s) and I've been listening to the movie soundtrack. at some point I'm going to write a huge post comparing it all, but for now this is the thought that just struck me:

In the Phantom Of The Opera (movie or play) Christine Daae sings "Think of Me". Could it be that the song forshaddows the ending? So that its almost like she's asking the Phantom to "think of me kindly"?

Just a thought, but what do you think?

Want to Beat the Crap out of Michael Moore?

Or how about Kerry?

Or if you like Kerry, how about Bush?

Or the gay Teletuby?

Or how about Gates?

Or even Napoleon Dynamite?

Personally I like beating Michael Moore the best.

So, if you would like to share in the sadistic beating of the most hated people (1 downfall, no Martha Stewart- damn.) then this is the game for you.

Interactive Buddy. Guaranteed to bring a smile to your face as you burn them.

And since I'm such a kind soul, I'll share some of my favorite tips and tricks:

The basis of the game is to earn money the more you interact with the buddy. The quickest way to get money (you need money to buy new things) is to tickle the buddy [go items -> hand -> tickle] or to use the fist to either whack the buddy against the walls or punch him [ items -> hand -> fist].

After you gain some cash (cash totals shown in bottom left corner) I suggest going to Modes and buying Realistic Pyrotechnics and Blood and Gore. As for Items to buy? Defiantly buy Rubber balls, fire hose, and flame thrower/fireballs as soon as possible in a set. What you can do is release the Rubber balls (the buddy tries to catch them) and light them on fire. The buddy will then go up in an awesome display of flames, and then use the fire hose (it gets you yet more money the more you spray him) the rubber balls will keep lighting him (yet more money). Now when that entertainment palls you might want to get rid of the rubber balls and put the fire out so that you can move on to more tortures, simply go to Items -> Explosives -> Grenades and release a bunch of Grenades (there is a limit on how much you can have in the little 'room' at anyone time so the Grenades make the rubber balls disappear easier then trying to hold the mouse over them). And once the grenades are there, wait a few seconds and BOOOMMMM! Yet more money.

The next thing I suggest purchasing would be a skin (Assuming you don't want to keep torturing the cute little default buddy).

Theres plenty of things to buy, plenty of ways to interact with the buddy, and plenty of special effects you can buy. This is a game made for everyone.

Penguins

Mookie Riffic: I can cheer you up and make your life complete with 6 simple words
Giant: and what would those be?
Mookie Riffic: Did you know Penguins have knees?
Mookie Riffic: They do! Hehe
Giant: hah
Mookie Riffic: Now doesn't that make you believe that you can die happy?
Giant: oh yes
Mookie Riffic: Don't be snarky now. This is seious stuff not everyone knows that penguins have knees
Giant: very true
Mookie Riffic: So its up to us, the enlightened, to spread the truth
And then there was silence.

Tech Drawing

The teacher is gone, I'm done with all 20-some-odd drawings, and the school has banned Addictinggames.com. So what do I do? Write a post. Hehe.

My english teacher lent me both versions of the Phantom of the Opera books, and Dracula 2000! Why the movie? Cause its got Gerard Butler in it. ^^ She said that after I watch we have to discuss it, but I think thats just her way of making it semi-educational even though I'm just watching it because Gerard Butler is hott.

I'm really hyper spastic today, and tonight I'm going to enter not one, not two, but three recipees into the Carnival that dad is hostin'. One that I actually make, one from the anarchist cookbook, and one from my english book Like Water for Chocolate. Yay for me.

The school sucks, they blocked addictinggames.com, ebaumsworld, and albinoblack sheep (I'll add the hyperlinks later), but luckily I found the End Of The World flash at endofworld.net. Hehe. Go me!

Girl's State

So a couple weeks ago I got an application for it, and later that night I was bored so I decided to go ahead and fill it out. Had great fun filling it out too, mainly because I was making fun of it, but I put down actual answers. So a week or so later I got a letter which pretty much said "Show up, Saturday the 19th and get interviewed." That was fine and dandy. Woot, not a big deal... until the morning of the 19th.

My first mistake was suddenly getting freaked out about what if they asked me questions about religion or something family oriented. How much is too much to say? How much do I sugar coat it? How could I get away with out actually answering such a question? So while I nail bited my way to the American Legion Post, a place I used to go as a child when Dad was a DJ, Dad helped me come up with some good answers. So we get there, and I head into the place, take off my coat, sit down, look at my watch- oh good! I'm on time! its 8:45-and sit.

and sit.

and sit.

Till 9:30.

And its drafty as hell, and I'm stuck next to the door. I ended up putting my coat back on.

So finally its time for the interviews. And I got three interviewers, each asked one question...

They were all political questions. Shit.

Question 1: I blew it completely. I didn't know that Bush was doing something with Social Security! Agh! I came home and did a quick search, and realized you can't swing a dead cat with out hitting it. Ugh. So I screwed up that one royally. But incase your wondering my response was "Um. I didn't know he was planning on reforming it. You see, since I blog I am more up to date on international politics." BOOOOOOMM!!!! the Patented Bullshit Meter just broke from a sudden influx!

Question 2: I honestly can't remember whether I did good or not, much less what the question is.

Question 3: It was about Iraq's elections. And I think I did this one okay but seeing as the only info I had stored in my puny little mind was what I hear from Dad, it wasn't that great.

Today we find out who got in.
10 bucks says it’s not me. Any takers?

Why Hair Why?

Why is it that only on the days I wake up early does my hair behave? Why can't it behave when I wake up at the normal time.

Transphormers

(can you tell I feel slightly guilty for not posting?)

So, I managed to convert one of my friends to Avenue Q, hehe. And when we were talking about it he said he was sending a couple of his friends the lyrics. This is the following portion of conversation:

Mookie Riffic: *giggles* I just remembered (cause the song came on) the first time I got the Avenue Q CD, i was just sending the lyrics to anyone and everyone, and I send "Its a fine fine line" to a guy from Orange County, and he got psyco pissed
Converte: lol
Mookie Riffic: and it was right after I dumped him for being an asshole, too, And he was still in a "scary stalker ish mode"
Converte: he's like a gay transphormer
Converte: "Scary Stalker Mode" "Super Prick Mode"...we should just call him gayatron
Now since most of you probably don't quite understand the significance of the song Its A Fine Fine Line, so here are the lyrics.

There's a fine, fine line between a lover and a friend; There's a fine, fine line between reality and pretend; And you never know 'til you reach the top if it was worth the uphill climb.

There's a fine, fine line between love
And a waste of time.

There's a fine, fine line between a fairy tale and a lie;
And there's a fine, fine line between "You're wonderful" and "Goodbye."
I guess if someone doesn't love you back it isn't such a crime,
But there's a fine, fine line between love
And a waste of your time.

And I don't have the time to waste on you anymore.
I don't think that you even know what you're looking for.
For my own sanity, I've got to close the door
And walk away...
Oh...

There's a fine, fine line between together and not
And there's a fine, fine line between what you wanted and what you got.
You gotta go after the things you want while you're still in your prime...

There's a fine, fine line between love
And a waste of time.

Crack Dream and Dancers

So, I've watched both versions (Origional, and Hugh Jackman) of Oklahoma! and as such I've watched both versions of the Dream Ballet.

That isn't any Ballet. Thats a Crack Dream, pure and simple.

I managed to get the director to start calling it a Crack Dream, and the ballet dancers, Crack Dancers.

Am I good or what?

The Little Wonder

For those of you that have seen the show Oklahoma! you know that the Little Wonder is the kaldescope-like toy that Will Parker buys for his father-in-law (or in our case mother-in-law because we always have more girls then guys), and Jud Fry reveals that it has a blade in it that drops down and can be used to kill someone.

I get to build it. *Happy Grin*

And since when I googled how to build it, I got absolutly nothing, I'm going to be posting the directions on how to build. I'll probably have pictures too.

Oh yeah, and as a final, un releated note: This still makes me giggle. Like, WTF mate?
