Whatever Matt Feels Like Posting

I can't believe it - I finished the creative vortex poll I mentioned I've been working on!!

( cut for LOTS of length )

I hope the poll shows up...

EDIT: It did, but I accidentally put "Finish rereading" as an option when it should've been "Finish rereading therapy notes" and I can't change it now. Oh well.

Have a surprisingly good reason to repost this

What keeps you up at night?

Well, tonight, it was the English paper that's due tomorrow. I've been procrastinating it and unable to focus on it for so long that I had to stay up all night working on it, only to just now, at almost 6 in the morning, finish all the parts of it that I don't need my sister pathvain_aelien's advice on. (i.e., the introduction and first body paragraph) And, to make matters worse, I have a report for College Connections due next Monday and a 1500-2000 word essay in Computer Science that I haven't even started on (aside from some notes) due next Thursday. And since P_A can't help me with it this weekend or next week, they might as well all be due tomorrow. :'(

Blood is going to explode out of this repost button any second now

3 days ago, my mom found 7 binders' worth of the notes from back when I was in therapy! It's really interesting to look through it and see how far I've come. Some observations I've found so far that surprise me:

- I apparently used to get the letters C and S, P and Q, U and M, and G and J mixed up a lot despite still becoming able to read before kindergarten, and also despite my obsession with the letter Q around first grade. Plus, in my grapheme→color synesthesia, most of those letters are completely different colors (C S P Q U M G J), and I never confused Q and G even though their colors are the closest out of any of these, so I must not have had it back then.
- I seemingly used to not like ketchup, as when the therapists were teaching me about choices, they'd ask me whether I wanted a certain food that I liked or a certain food that I hated, and the food I "hated" would sometimes be ketchup.
- I was actually better at pretend play than I remember - in fact, I bet my 3-year-old self just might be better at D&D dialogue than I am today :)

While rereading the notes, I also like to put my iTunes on shuffle, and when a song that isn't from Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 2, or Super Mario World (i.e., a song I first heard after age 3) comes up, I try to get an idea of how my 3-year-old self would feel if he time-travelled to when I first heard it by pretending that I'm 3 years old but born in 2008 instead of 1993 and that my "future" self will first hear the song 15 years after I actually first heard it. (example: with the exception of "Sand in My Shoes", I first heard each song from Dido's Life for Rent in 2007, which in 1996 was 11 years in the future, so I tell myself that I'll hear it for the first time in 2022) :)

Qoct to yomr gomrnal!

Here is all the homework I had to do today:

- a chapter review for Economics
- some Physics problems
- yet another paper to write for Spanish
- citing another source for the Research Paper of the Apocalypse
- writing a note from said source

This wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have ALL OF THESE ON THE SAME DAY. Ugh. I'm finally done, but now it's 9:31 PM and I'm so tired that I might as well go to bed even though it's not my bedtime yet. :(

These are all hilarious, even the immature ones! (And I usually hate immature humor, so that's saying something.) I think my favorite so far is "Expand the equation". :)

EDIT: Now that I've read all of the posts as of "Chem win", my new favorite is the one where Walt Whitman has a blue ox named Emily Dickinson. Even if a later portion of that essay stereotypes LiveJournal as being for emo poetry.

In other news, now I have notes for all my exam essays, or exays, and have about half of my The Great Gatsby essay finished. Yay!

UGH.

For history class, I have to write a 3-to-4-page paper on how the Age of Reason compares to modern times, which is due tomorrow, and for English class, the 30-40 notecards for the Research Paper of the Apocalypse are due Monday. I'm not even close to being close to being close to (insert infinite loop here) being close to being finished with either one.

It sucks being only good with math, computers, drawing, and having weird dreams. :(

A really old post complaining about homework? SWEET! I'm reposting this!
