Amusing conversation with Alix today on the way to Western Civ:
Her: Wouldn't it be weird if everyone was, like, Indian and being Caucasian was the minority?
Me: Yeah, it would be called living in India.
Her: ... Oh, right.
During the month of April I have written 41.5 pages, typed in 1.5 spaced size 10 Courier New, which I'm guessing roughly equals 15,000 to 20,000 words (I'm still not using word count). I call that pretty damn good. And I'm almost done with part one of my project too, which is exciting (though now I have to work out how to include events of "The Power of Light," because I don't want a certain character to simply die in brackets like a few of the characters in To The Lighthouse).
Whenever Homo sapiens comes up in biology class, all I can think of is the following exchange from an episode of Friends:
Joey: If the Homo sapiens really were homo sapiens, is that why none of them are left?
Ross: Joey, Homo sapiens are people.
Joey: ... Hey, I'm not judging.
I also discovered something nifty: in a piece that comes a bit later in my writing project, the narrative describes Perrin's grief turning into rage. As I read this today, all I could think of was Future!Ben's remark to Future!Sayid that I mentioned eariler: "If you allow your grief to become anger, it will never go away." The cool thing? I wrote this before the episode that that line comes from aired. That's pretty precognitive/awesome, yeah?

how is allison similar to chandler bing?
a. they have commitment issues
b. they make bad jokes all the time
c. they have a third nipple
d. they dislike thanksgiving
the correct answer is "d." (although i do make bad jokes sometimes, such as "shaylagh's ego is so big it ate clarisse!").
on monday, my mom was very close to boycotting thanksgiving altogether because she was in a bad mood and didn't want to cook anything. but then she decided that everyone else except for me would be unhappy about that, so she
anyway, i think thanksgiving is a pointless holiday. i mean, how does eating turkey, potatoes, etc. show that you're thankful for things in your life? and since america is so concerned that it's an overweight country, why not boycott thanksgiving, since the point of it is to stuff yourself with food? this is why my dream husband is not going to mind having an un-traditional thanksgiving. we will eat grilled cheese sandwiches every year and give thanks for the fact that we are not part of the masses. (or we could just move to a place where thanksgiving isn't celebrated. like england!)
...in other news, "aerith's theme" is threatening to drive me into insanity. it is a song that is nineteen minutes and fifty-seven seconds long. this was pretty cool at first, but now i'm just about ready to kill it. it is pretty much the same thing repeating over and over again for almost TWENTY DAMN MINUTES. so what usually happens is that i listen to the first five or so minutes and then switch to another song.
on sunday during christmas show rehearsal, kasey made the comment that anything can be related to an episode of friends. i've discovered that this is extremely true. like on tuesday when there started to be random beeping noises occurring while i was listening to "aerith's theme," and i started in-my-head screaming at the laptop, "WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?" this then reminded me of an episode of friends in which phoebe's smoke detector starts randomly beeping, and she tries to dismantle it. after she takes out the batteries, it still is beeping, so she screams at it, "WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?" phoebe is very entertaining.
last night in my boredom i started playing a game in which i choose five characters at random from various fandoms and imagined what what would happen if they were locked in a room together.
yes, i do have little life. get over it. hey, i have an idea. if none of us are allowed to comment on shaylagh's spelling-challenged-ness, then none of you are able to comment on the fact that i have no life. ha!

and all of that was probably why i had a dream last night that i got pregnant when i was 13. it was kind of sketchy. and the really annoying thing was that the father of the baby was never mentioned in the dream. and it was all in a flashback-type structure: it began with all of us looking at a scrapbook, and it began when we were 13 and we were all remembering that i was pregnant back then. and then it kind of flashed back to when i was pregnant, but i don't really remember anything else. and then i had a strange harry potter dream that involved harry dying and then being resurrected and then visiting his 15-year-old son. and then there was another dream about dancing in latin class, except the goth couple from the amazing race was there.
also, speaking of reproduction, katelyn things i have promiscuous mouth cells. (wow, i just realized that that could be a bit awkward if it wasn't having to do with a lab in biology class.)
i really, really want to come up with a better name for the citadel of destiny as soon as possible. too bad i don't have my latin book, because i'm sure i could find something in there. i really want to use "vocari" (latin for "to be called") somewhere, either as a place name or last name, but it's too close to sari's last name (before she marries perrin, that is) and reminds me of the volturi from twlight/new moon/eclipse. i really want to commandeer "nibelheim" for something, but it's not proper to commandeer names from "final fantasy vii."
the song that i'm currently listening to is three seconds short of twenty minutes long. this amuses me for some reason.
not sure if the
[EDIT: zomg this is pretty much the most entertaining/funny thing ever. click here for the "brain hurt" pairings generator. it basically mixes fandoms up for some ridiculous pairings. here are some of the funny ones that i've gotten: carmen sandiego/hagrid, dominic monaghan (actor who played charlie on lost)/gary (the snail from spongebob squarepants), professor flitwick/serafina pekkala(witch from his dark materials trilogy), rachel green (from friends)/mon mothma (side character in star wars episode vi), luna lovegood/albus dumbledore, mickey mouse/boss nass (gungan leader from star wars episode i), moaning myrtle/queen lillian (the queen in the second and third shrek movies, buddy (from elf)/carmen (from sisterhood of the traveling pants).]
rachel: well, apparently condoms are only effective 97% of the time.
ross: ...what? well, they should put that on the box! *runs to look at condom box* well, they should put it in big, block letters! i'm going to complain to the company!
rachel: ...ross, forget about the condoms.
ross: well, i might as well have!

I had a happy Tuesday today! Yay!
Today I discovered another person at STA with the intials AJD because Sarah and I were walking through the 4th floor hallway to go to Latin after science and we were following someone who also had the initials AJD on her backpack. It was weird because the only other person I've known with the initials AJD is my brother.
I'm excited because I've been watching the sixth season of Friends again (ever since I got caught up and watched the fifth season) and I'm up to the episode where Chandler proposes to Monica. But first he has to act all stupid and I don't like that part. but but but it all turns out happy at the end.
This website is my new best friend: click here. It gives me lots and lots of happiness for my movies. Which I made another one of. (that sentence is totally not grammatically correct, because we learned in English today that you're not supposed to end a sentence with a preposition, which I already knew. Besides, that's not even a complete sentence.)
Today in study hall I was writing a scene in which Kaarisme is very angry at Xopelor, so I got "What Is This Feeling" stuck in my head and now it's popping in my head again interspersed with the lyrical song. It's kind of funny.
Quote of the Day:

Today in Latin we watched the MOST DEPRESSING MOVIE EVER. It was about Mt. Vesuvius and how Pompeii got buried in pumice and everyone died. It was not the most cheerful movie. The creepy British narrator was all, "The blahblahblah volcanic flow incinerated everything in its path. The people died instantly. Their bones chattered and their brains boiled and exploded." Not a pleasant image. But yeah, I'm still depressed from that because it was all, "These people do not know that it's their last day."
This morning I woke up at around 4:30 ish and I couldn't go back to sleep and I couldn't think of anything to do so I watched Friends until 6:00 on my laptop and then got back in bed, fell asleep for a while, and then woke up again. And then I was practically asleep on the way home from school. But hey: if I'm up in the middle of the night, I might as well be laughing instead of just lying there.
My two quotes of the day today are actually from REAL PEOPLE and not characters from books/movies/TV shows!
Quotes of the Day:
"Mrs. Chadwick says that big people don't use dots."

WHOA. I just thought it was Saturday night but then I remembered it was Friday night. I HAVE THREE MORE DAYS UNTIL I ACTUALLY BEGIN TO HAVE A LIFE AGAIN AND NO LONGER HAVE TO TYPE IN ALL CAPS TO EMPHASIZE MY EXCITEMENT.
My dad is watching a French war movie or something o.o WOW THEY'RE BEGINNING TO TALK IN ENGLISH.
I just realised that on Lost, when there's Sun/Jin flashbacks, they're all in Korean. I'm really really slow, okay? And yet I manage to discover that "murder" spelled backwards is "red rum." So I wonder if I play a song like, I dunno, "Miss Murder" backwards, it would sing about "Red Rum Ssim." Like if you play the Star Wars rap in slow motion, instead of "We got Death Star!" it sounds like "We got toasters!" And if you play "I Caught Fire" backwards, parts of it sounds like the Kingdom Hearts II theme song. And I really have to find something else to do with my life.
Actually, I did write some stuff today, which I haven't done all week because I've been busy with school. I'm working on a completely random script that basically includes lots of my experiences at my first three STA lunches, including the drink machine not taking my dollar, the drink costing almost as much as a slice of pizza, and someone think someone else looks like a Hannah. Oh, and there's also another couple non-lunch STA experiences in there including the words "nincompoopery" and "tomfoolery" and a guy from English class who always brings up how he hates stupid humour (You probably know who he is, Shayla. He's the one in our Latin class who hasn't done any of his homework on time so far). Oh, and there's also a part where one of the characters writes "rum" on her flavoured water bottle, not in glow paint, but in Sharpie, because for some reason "everyone is obsessed with coloured permanent markers, especially the miniature ones." Yeah, I really need to get back to my fantasy stuff. But it's a nice break and I'm almost done and then it'll be back to people killing each other left and right.
I've realised how many couples in my stories are dysfunctional. I mean, the only really major couple who's normal is Sari and Tidan, and that's because I really like them and tried to kill off Sari on two different occasions but she wouldn't let me. Okay, I'm going to make a list.
DYSFUNCTIONAL COUPLES IN MY STORIES:
- Solan and Leah--Solan decides to be all narrow-minded and leave Leah and their three-month-old daughter to study the darkness because he doesn't like destiny and didn't like Leah spending more time with their daughter than working on research.
- Aneirix and Sidra--Sidra leaves Aneirix and their two-year-old daughter because she's too devoted to the Dark Government, a group which Aneirix doesn't even like and yet joins eight years later.
-- Jace and Kaarisme-- (I saved this one for last because this one is the most messed up) Jace was sent to find Kaarisme and kill her, and yet they fell in love and when Kaarisme found out she shot him and he died and then she found out she was pregnant with his kid.
Okay, that's just three, but all of them involve poor female children of illegitimate parents. Honestly, throw in a lot of amnesia and a lot of people sleeping with each other behind their lovers' backs and you'd have a soap opera.
I love how amusing the NW is sometimes =) When people argue and the chatspeakers are all, "p.s i'm allowed to report u b/c of calling her story c*ap!" and the non chatspeakers are all, "Crap isn't blocked. Therefore TNT deems it alright to say" and I'm just sitting there laughing because the whole lot of them are idiots.

I have officially survived a highschool dance! It was actually a lot of fun, because I didn't have to go wandering around like a lost sheep trying to find someone I knew because I found Clarisse and her friend Megan about two minutes after arriving and then a few minutes later Sarah came. And I met a few people, basically people Clarisse and Sarah knew from sports, and a bunch of us went down to the cafeteria for a while because it was cooler down there and you could buy drinks there (but not that kind of drink!). And I think Sarah, Clarisse, and I were boring everyone to death with stories of SPS people. But in our little group we found one person who has never read Harry Potter and another who's never seen The Lion King (THAT DEPRIVED CHILD). Oh, and there was this guy there who was wearing butterfly wings and glow sticks wrapped around his arms, and Sarah says she thinks her "VERY HAPPY" cousin was "with him" for a while.
