> Self-Description, Flowchart, and Compiling shirts
> mousepad
> xkcd: volume 0
- My annual Garfield calendar from Mom
- Paid account extension from Mom and renewed add-on userpics from ellaina02. Notice that I finally took down my blackout userpics from the WCIT-12 protest and started using userpics other than the one blackout userpic that didn't become inactive again!

What I gave for Christmas:

*I still haven't made any comics for Lightning Made of Owls, and I already typed "Oliver" instead of "Olive" by accident at first?

Wii wish U...um...had a good reason to repost this entry?

Even though I still have yet to play Angry Birds, I went ahead and took this quiz:

You Are the White Bird

You are lovable, endearing, and affectionate. People gravitate toward your positive spirit. You are warm-hearted, witty, and even irreverent. You have an outrageous sense of humor that gets people laughing. You are very liable and charming. People simply enjoy being around you. You are an amazing friend. You are always there for the people you care about.

I also took these two:

You Are the Car

You live your life in top gear. You aren't afraid to go fast, and you actually do best at high speeds. You act on instinct, and you make decisions in a split second. Your first reaction is usually right. You are impulsive and bold. You love to make risky moves, and you never turn down a chance to roll the dice. You get impatient easily, and you're often waiting on those around you. You hate to be slowed down by anyone!

"Your first reaction is usually right." Um, no, not for me it isn't.

You Are a Bishop

You are limited in what kind of moves you make, but that only encourages you to be wilier. If you sit back and think carefully, you can be just as deadly as any of the other players on the board. It's all about using your head. While it does get annoying to be underestimated all the type, you can use that to your advantage. You can attack and retreat quickly, without anyone hardly noticing. As far as skills go, that's an excellent one to have!

"While it does get annoying to be underestimated all the type"? Your grammar is underestimated all the type. :P

Entry to journal E6

Three different 206's have shown up today:

- I was thinking about getting a snack, and I happened to look at the clock and it was 2:05 PM, so I waited until it changed to 2:06 to leave the room to get it. (Granted, it was kinda intentional, but it didn't take that long for it to change to 2:06, so I probably would've gotten my snack at 2:06 anyway.)
- I've recently made a program on my calculator that helps me decide what homework to work on first by dividing what I put as the relative difficulty of each homework assignment (with 1 being the difficulty of a math problem) by how many hours I have to work on it.* At one point, for studying for my economics test next Monday, this turned out to be 2.069800282. Even more interesting is the fact that just before I ran the program that time, I had randomly thought about what it would be like if, once I made a PrtSc Land-styled version of this userpic next PrtSc Land Day, Schrödinger's Enya commented on it.
- I'm reading Frankenstein for English class, and I read page 206 today.

Speaking of homework, I've had a LOT of it lately. :(

And now, back to your regularly scheduled pessimism: my New Year's resolutions!

←Week 3 Week 5→

( Stupid things one )

( Procrastination one )

*The formula is different if I'm at school, because then it'd be best to work on short assignments first so I don't have to take them home. In that case, I have it multiply instead of divide, then take the reciprocal of the result.

Do you think having children is a fundamental human right? Should there should be any restrictions?

"Should there should be any restrictions?"

Shouldn't there shouldn't be someone who fixes these typos? :P

Should this entry should be in your journal?

Now I'm done with all of my homework for this weekend. Yay! That didn't take long. Longer than pathvain_aelien's estimate of an hour and 45 minutes, but still not long.

Also, yet another profile name change. (When you have a generic username like mine, you feel obligated to at least change your profile name a lot.) Y'see, I wrote my informal essay over the frustration I had been having with my HAS project, and instead of "I couldn't get the converter to convert dates consistently", I put "I couldn't get the converter to consist dates consistently". So my new profile name is "I can't consist consistently." :)

Consist to your journal consistently

Stupid Writer's. In other, tomorrow I have an orthodontist. Which means sometime today I need to brush my very well.

Also, I can't wait until! There's only 4, 9, and 56 left!

Making fun of this Writer's sure is (remember the redundant?), so I'm going to take a.

Your Energy Level is Very Low

You're so low energy that you don't even have the strength to be chill. There's a good chance that you're not naturally this way, but lately your resources have been drained. Relax, rest, eat well, and use the energy you have for some light exercise. It's all about building your mental and physical health up right now.

No wonder my has been stressing me out so much.

If cryogenics became a real, affordable option (i.e., if you could freeze your body until aging and illnesses were better understood), would you consider it? If so, do you fear you'd miss out on the wisdom that comes with growing old and dying?

Answer View Answers

cryogenics

Um, I think "cry"-ogenics are affordable already. All you have to do is take candy from a little kid. (Not that I'd do that sort of thing. Just saying it's affordable.)

Stupid Writer's Block.

EDIT: Wait. That's actually the CORRECT spelling?! There goes my joke. :(

The first two periods in school today were pretty hilarious.

In anatomy class, we got a list of safety procedures. #3 is:

"3. Students who are pregnant, taking immunosuppressive drugs, or who have any other medical condition (e.g., diabetes, immunological defect) that might necessitate special precautions in the laboratory must inform the instructor immediately."

And yet the student handbook for our school says that pregnancy and other Level Four offenses can result in expulsion from school. (I don't think these safety procedures were written by our school, but still)

In Bible class, we got a handout of class requirements, grading criteria, and the like. The header says:

"Junior and Senior Boys Bible 2009-20010"

Great. I only have [anyonewhoreferencesthatstupidmemewillbegivenaboottothehead]9000½[/anyonewhoreferencesthatstupidmemewillbegivenaboottothehead] years to study for my midterm exams.

I had a lot more homework today than I did yesterday, but at least it's the weekend!
