Do I have some sort of ancient gypsy curse on me?
The kind that makes my life opposite day?
Every single time I hope for something or I say "I'm going to go to this college" or "that quiz was easy, I know I aced it" or "I'm totally going to pass this driving test and get my license" - -
Well, you don't have to guess what I'm about to say next.

Happy birthday, Trent. <3
i just drew smiley faces on my boobies
:)
I made an amazing discovery today:
About a year back, I bought the Fawlty Towers DVD collection at GameStop for $3. (This is a famous British Sitcom from the 70s starring John Cleese and Connie Booth.) I never thought much of it. The show was great and funny and all that.
I looked it up on Swapadvd.com and found that it had quite the wishlist of members going. I figured I cared too much about it to give it up there, but decided that if I needed emergency credits, I would put it up for swap.
Today, I typed it into ebay on a whim. Lo and behold - $30. It's going for $30 on average. With my used copy, I could put it up for $20 and still get some decent bids in.
This would help greatly in my laptop/college supplies dreams.
So I'm saving it until I need to sell it but I'm planning on going to GameStop and seeing what other gems I can find in the rough.
But that was an exciting moment.

I got three things in the mail today:
1. My FF:AC necklace of Fenrir. It is fantastic.
2. The second of David's CDs that I ordered for him off of SwapaCD.
3. The iRiver, which I decided soon after I bought it on eBay, I would give it to mom for mothers day. She was so excited to finally have an MP3 player. Plus, I just ordered a 1GB voice recorder that doubles as a flash drive and a music player.
This entire month has been a stressful one. I've had AP test after AP test this week, been deprived of sleep, and just in general sick of going to school.

This morning I had my English and Math placement test for U of M. The entire time I was there, I felt really weird because I know that I'm too smart for this school. There were kids around me from FHS that I knew were - well - very stupid. But it wasn't really arrogance that I was feeling.
It was shame.

I came home and I have already received the lovely cell phone charm I ordered off of Etsy. It looks beautiful on my phone.
--
The choir concert was amazing. I still can't believe that Kat has such an incredible voice, even though she was sick, her voice didn't crack but once.
--
Woooo...time to go to David's house.
Who needs a boyfriend when you have David?

If this is not my face and these are not my eyes
then there is not a single thing here i can recognize
if this is all a dream then none of you are real
and i'd give anything
you know i'd give anything . . .
Who needs sex when you have Trent Reznor?

This man makes me cry.
My mother has been watching the French musical Notre Dame de Paris a lot recently and I have to admit - I adore it.
Out of the four main male characters (Quasimodo, the knight guy, the minstrel, Frollo) my favorite is by far Frollo, the priest.
I don't understand why, but I'm so incredibly attracted to him. The actor pulls off this amazing old-guy-sexy thing that I thought only Alan Rickman could do. He plays the character with such subdued passion and has this incredible voice...
So I indulged myself the other day and bought a FFVII necklace from ebay. I feel I owe it to myself - as I've made over $80 selling just a few things this past month. Not to mention the money I've saved from getting CDs on the swap sites.

Still looking for work.
--
Still looking for a car. (and I need to call Mercy tomorrow to set up my road test appointment)
---
Still need to send my acceptance to U of M. They offered me $3000 a year! That's almost half tuition!
--
Still need to get into the "yoga every night" habit.
Funny - how these things happen. :)
So here we are - not even a full month since the release of Ghosts I-IV, and Trent Reznor has already hinted at the release of a NEW album with the unexpected single "Discipline", which hit radio waves about 24 hours ago. He's made the single downloadable on the main NIN site, so of course I got it.
It seems like ever since his official split with the record companies he's been on a musical roll, proving the reocurring lyric "nothing can stop me now" quite true.
The song feels very - well - it's definitely a pop hit but not quite as dance-y as "Only" was back when With_Teeth was released. There's something in this that combines the elements of all his music. There's a heavy hand of With_Teeth at work with the boom-chick of the background music but then there are repeating piano chords in the background that are very reminiscent of The Downward Spiral and Fragile years.
All in all, I'm loving this new Trent Reznor.
Once I start, I cannot stop myself
- Discipline
Events:
My mom and dad have been fighting a lot more lately - or maybe this time I actually hear them. :P Usually they do the fighting after I got to bed, my sister says. It's funny how my mom still treats me like a child but at the same time she told me today that I need to grow up.
I won't listen to you tell me to be more aggressive/assertive when you can't stand up for yourself.
You don't have to be a bitch to be successful.
This will turn out okay.

Watched the first six episodes of Doctor Who season 3 at Kari's on Sunday and am frustrated that the DVD sets are so expensive everywhere.

No matter how much yoga I do and how little bread I eat, the love handles won't go away. D:

This is time 23540150147781592435 of swearing to learn to read my Russian better. This is the frustrating stage where I always quit because I can't read as quickly as I can in English. I know that once I pick up speed this will get so much easier but I hate this part.
It's embarrassing.
--
Woo! $58 tax refund!
--
I need a job.
