whee quizzes cos I'm bored and haven't done any in awhile. *g*


I am an overly sleepy kitt-
**zZzZzZzZZZzZzzZzZzzZzZZzzZZZZzZZZZ...**
Which cute or possibly strange kitten are you?
brought to you by Quizilla
So true... that's one of the reasons I always wanted to be a cat, esp. when I was younger - they can just lay about in the sun and nap all day. *g*


You are Tank, from "The Matrix." Loyal
till the end, you spare no expense in ensuring
the well-being of others.
What Matrix Persona Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla
Whee Matrix.


You're a unicorn. You're very pure and innocent.
Almost everyone loves you and you love almost everyone. You may be naive to the point of gullibility. You're pretty much incapable of violence, the exception being when someone you
love is threatened. While your intentions are nothing but good, some might call you a "straight-edger." Your alignment is EXTREMELY *good*.
What mythical beast are you?
brought to you by Quizilla
Ok, so I was a gryphon the first time..which was all well and good..but I knew a unicorn was an option so I retook it once more... and whee. ^_^
...
(but "straight-edger"??? *mad fookin' giggles* ..I think not... *hehehe* ^_~ ..*coughs* anyway...)


you are 1984 by George Orwell. a little behind the
times, but visionary once. you're paranoid,
quit it.
What Famous literary Work Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla
It tried to tell me I was Heart of Darkness. Which I've still not finished reading cos..I dunno. It didn't hold my interest very well, I couldn't figure out where the hell things were going. But 1984 just r0x0rz. ^_^ (Too bad Fahrenheit 451 wasn't an option...)



WHAT TYPE OF WILD CREATURE ARE YOU? (New Pictures!)
brought to you by Quizilla
Penguins are an option so I took it. And was sad that I didn't get a penguin but I think this works better anyway.


Your ideal mate is Nightcrawler. His appearance
may be a bit off-putting, but his heart and
personality more than make up for it. He is
shy and isn't very sociable and comes off as a
bit of a loner (but you'll fix that). He is
also devoted and strong, and he always seems to
just *pop* up whenever you need him the most. :
)
Who Is Your Ideal X-Men 2 Mate? (ladies only)
brought to you by Quizilla
*laughs* sweet. (and whatever would be "off-putting" about blue skin? I *like* blue...*g*)


YOU EAT PEOPLE!!!
what's YOUR deepest secret?
brought to you by Quizilla
*dies laughing* right. took this out of randomness, and the answer just amused me to no end.. (Laur, catch the name of the 'friend' in the oven..?? ;D )

So yeah. Saturday and I'm a bit drowsy, definitelyrather languid, and haven't a thing demanding my attention. (Well, except the dishes and laundry I ought to do, and the room I should straighten..and Bono but that's normal anyway. ^_~ ) merani-chan's at NYSSMA, Matantis has random boys over and I'm waiting for them to go away..... meh. Anyway... was re-thinking thru how to re-code this thing and the way I'd thought of doing it isn't quite what I want, turns out..I need to figure out if there's a way to scroll within the cell of a table, *without* doing an i-frame... or, doing one, but not having this site address be just the little bit inside the i-frame. hrm...

 
Yes, I'm back and it's not -- well, ok, it *is* Saturday morning, technically, but, didn't end up staying at the relay all night, cos I was mad tired this afternoon....that, and Laur was leaving around midnight, and I get along ok with everyone else but I don't know them as well and I frickin' NEED SLEEP so yeah.
And my feet hurt. *g*

Springapalooza was cool, mostly... my face is sunburnt whee. *g* Sneaking into school was MAD easy, my *goodness*.. parked my bike over at the middle school, started walking over to the hs, had forgotten that there's no walking space outside and between teh middle and jr high schools, so ended up trying a random door on the side of the hs.. peeked in, saw it was passing time, figured someone'd let me in..and I tried the door and it was unlocked. *laughs* So, walked in, walked thru the halls a bit, walked right out doors on the opposite side of the building. Headed down to the field, helped set up and whee. *shakes head, laughing* Great fun. A few teachers and people saw me, heck, we walked right by the principal but either none of them cared or they didn't realise that I've already graduated, sooooo.. *hehe* score.
Face-painting was slow, partly cos of our noisy invasive neighbors (the all-black "Multicultural Club"), I think (no-one could see us, and their music was mad loud and it was the same cd of rap&etc ALL DAY *groans*). But I painted Matrix-code on Laur's and Aneya's arms.. which was random, and took FOREVER (Jayj asked me to do it on his arm as well but I'd just spent half an hour doing up those first two so I went NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! and collapsed onto the table. so he had me paint a big yellow and red flower on his cheek instead. *mad giggles* yay for Jayj.).
Highlight of the day was DEFINITELY tying up Mr. B. ^______^ Erik and a few other people - ok it was basically all of SFE, from what I can gather *g* - had some nice yellow and orange electrical tape. And they decided that they should tackle and tie up B. So, of course, we all went along too, I brought my camera to take pictures of it all. *hehehe* So B's over there, playing frisbee (despite his broken hand-wrist-whatever - don't worry we were careful not to hurt it *g*), and not paying much attention to the ten or so kids coming up in a large group behind him. Then Erik grabbed him from behind and everybody joined in, trying to hold the now-thrashing-B still and wrap him up like mad in tape. *dies laughing* It was frickin' AWESOME. B was all, 'You think you've got me---' and we're like, dude, we so do, just give it up.. he picked up Erik's leg and tried to knock him over, all tried wresting away but eventually kinda gave in a little cos there was mad tape all around his legs and feet and the rest of him. So then someone (I'm thinking it was Erik but I'm not sure) yelled for someone to grab B's feet and we'd all carry him off. Everyone but me and another picture-taker grabbed hold, and hoiseted him up. *hehehehe* Then we're like, where should we take him? then someone's like, 'To the dunking booth!!!' So we've got like, ten kids carrying a struggling taped-up teacher all the way up the hill to the dunking booth, walking thru crowds of random people, B all trying to get free, squirming all around and twsiting around and we very nearly lost him a few times but they kept hold, me and the other girl were dashing back and forth and all around trying to get clear shots of all of this (I must have like, ten pictures *mad evil giggles* ..I'm makin' a webpage, I think --- oh, *dude*, I'll put it up on the SFE page! ^_^ ). Walked past several teachers and tons of students, who first gave us veyr strange looks, and then sometimes laughed. Mad fun. Walked right past Salvaggio (the principal), and she vaguely wondered what we were doing, but then she didn't care at all, so it's all good. (Not that she - or anyone - *could* have stopped us at that point but y'know *hehehehehe*). So we stuck B under the..whatever they call it, it's not *really* a dunking booth cos the water comes out a pipe over their heads (or, in B's case, torso, cos we didn't wanna get his cast all wet - we're evil but not *truly* so, so e had him like, half-laying across the chair instead of sitting up on it or whatever). And he got wet. And then they let him go. And he said he was glad he *hadn't* escaped over the pavement cos it woulda been bad. *g* And it took him like, forever to get all the tape off cos there were MAD amounts down around his ankles! *laughs* 'Til he whipped out the pocketknife he had on him (which, it just occured to me, he should *not* have had on schoolgrounds, but, y'know..it's B *g*).
Also of great interest was the DDR pads that the Robotics team made themselves. One broke partway thru the day but *I'm* impressed. ^_^ ..and am just generally in AWE of these peoples' mad crazy DDR skillz. I mean, I know I'm still a complete noob cos I've only played it twice but *still*, these people are just..yeah. wow. *g*
Caught bits and pieces of the bands that played on and off throughout the day..some decent, some less so, as usual, but all in all not bad.

There was this one moment, tho... we were walking back down to the track to get back to our table after..I dunno, prolly looking at DDR or something (Laur and Daf and Aneya all played - I was far too intimidated to even *try* it by then *g*)... and we walked past whatever band was playing. And, as is my wont, I watched the drummer as we went by. Didn't know who the kid was at all, but.. he had short blond hair, a sleeveless shirt, definitely drummer-arms..and he was doing the open-mouthed thing that Lar (and I know other drummers too but it reminds me most of Lar) does, when he gets all into it... and I just got this sudden *flash* of what it would have been like to watch U2 playing back when *they* were in high school, back when they were Feedback, and the Hype..... I dunno, it was just cool. *smiles*

Then later I got ousted from my own face-painting business cos random new-Leo Jamie started in on it while we went to play DDR and then I came back and everyone was lined up for her and.. *sighs* yeah. I dunno. There's no real reason it should have bothered me but.. stupid as it is, it kinda did. *shrugs*

But yeah. Fun time, in general. Came back, was mad tired from sun and riding (it was windy enough to make riding not-so-fun, and I'd been in a hurry and had to get film down at Eckerd's too in the morning), got some food, talked to merani, listened to her NYSSMA solo again (good luck tomorrow, btw ^_^), then came up here and took a very nice nap. Was interrupted several times by merani/devon SCREAMING my name for apparently no particular reason, ignored it and went back to sleep. *g* Got up about five, tho I was still mad tired, called Laur, got food, left around 6. MapQuest got its Lyell Aves/Sts/Rds/whatever mixed up, thus, so did we, so it took us rather longer to get to Spencerport HS than it should've, but we got there, and found our peeps and our tents, and it was all good. ^_^

Walking-bit didn't actually start 'til what, 8.30 or so, I think.. we got the obligatory lame far-too-large t-shirts, they talked, had all the cancer survivors come up for recognition.. which was all well and good but I wound up getting not only sad for all these people (one girl was, 11 years old, I think? and she's survived 8 years with it..she was diagnosed when she was only 2 or 3.... there were two women there who'd had it for thirty-some years...and Mr. Molinari, and both Mrs. *and* Mr. Fleming were up there too), but also randomly paranoid when I saw how many they were..and the ages were mostly older but there were a few people my own age as well..and it's just...it's not like it's neccessarily something you get from doing or not doing things, you don't catch it from anyone you just *get* it...and tho there were (by Laur's estimation) maybe 500 people alrogether there, and it was maybe 30-50 who were cancer surivors..there's still a lot. As there were a LOT of lumineras lit around the track, not all but probably most in memory of someone who *didn't* survive it...

But yeah. Walked a lot. Talked with Jamie P. a lot, Melinda some, Laur a TON ^_^... had food, listened to music from different groups performing, talked..walked..yeah. *g*
Best part, I think, was when they lit all the lumineras (really just candles sitting in sand inside of paper bags..but they looked all lovely lit ^_^) and shut off the mega-bright track-lights..and had a guy playing Amazing Grace and things on bagpipes as we all walked around the track a few times. *smiles* ..granted, that's when I realised just how many lumineras there were, but..it was pretty and it was sad but nice, y'know? plus I was with Laur and we had lots of nice good conversation tonight, which was wonderful. (For one thing, she's allaid my fear of making an arse out of myself at the first wedding I end up going to. *g*)
Got back about midnight, and I'm sleepy now. Was gonna get some preliminary coding done on here, but..I'm getting sleepy. 'night all...

 
All the brushes were already labeled today, so mostly I just straightened up the displays. And had one FALL ON MY HEAD OKNO.
Well, not quite on my head, and it's not like it was that big, but I'd *almost* finished getting all the damn Bob Ross brushes on the bloody thing (which isn't fun cos I have to look at his scary face >_< ), and then suddenly it goes CRASH and things fly at me and all over the floor.
*giggles* Ok it's funny looking back at it but anyway...
Went to Ithica and Elmira, looong drives, but pretty areas so it was ok. Somewhere on the way to Ithica, we went past this fenced-in area that used to be a military-thing of some sort.. that's now home to lots of deer. And unordinary numbers of *albino* deer. Dude, we saw like, maybe eight deer as we drove past (it ran along the road for probably a few miles..I dunno I'm bad with distances), and five were *white*. Messes with yer head a bit, but it was really cool...
And along the way places we also passed this place that makes *houses*. They're just sitting there up on cinderblocks, twenty, thirty fully-built houses, waiting to be moved places. *shakes head* freaky.

So, no Kmart for me cos Dad's a freak and is paranoid about me riding my bike there for work cos it's sorta main roads. Never mind that there's, y'know, the SIDE of the road and whatnot, and I ride along Buffalo and Union all the time.... gah. >_<
On the plus side of things, tho, we worked it out and while we'd both rather I got a real job, money-wise, Dad admits it'd be good to still have my help around the house and things, and helping him with Michael's. Matt's (in all probability) going to work for Kink this summer down in the city, which means he's not gonna wanna be sittin' around here mowing lawns. Which means *I* could take over which'd be very cool. (Neighbor pays *sixteen frickin' bucks* to mow her lawn. Granted it's a pain cos there's tons of gardens and pathways and things to mow around, and she uses mad fertilizer so the grass's crazy tall and thick, but, still, it's maybe an hour, an hour and a half.. and if I could finangle some jobs over in College Green where my grandparents - and LOTS of other old people with money - live, well then. *g*) Plus any babysitting jobs I can land, and Michael's (which's a pain in the arse but I survive).
So yeah. *laughs* ..'least I won't have to worry about trying to ensure I get a day or so off when Megs comes to visit. ^_^

Watched Dead Poets Society again this afternoon, and it's still absolutely wonderful. *smiles* Just finished watching "The Breakfast Club" with merani-chan, and it was good, she was getting a bit bored towards the end but the psycho-girl amuses us both to no end. *g*

Sneaking into Springapalooza at school tomorrow (while my brother's getting himself *out* of going--! *laughs) to help Leos with face painting cos I r0x0rz. (and cos I have mad amounts of facepaint. *hehe*) Then tomorrow night 'til Sat. morning's the Relay for Life cancer-thing over at Spencerport, which I'm *also* going to with Leo Club....wait, I left, why the fook am I still getting myself roped into all this?!!? *laughs* ...joking, I don't mind at all, really..gives me something purposeful to do with my time again. ^_^

And I'm *mad* fookin' tired, so I think I'm gonna maybe write or read or draw or somethingfor a bit, then get to bed. Or maybe try to re-code some of this blog like I'm still meaning to do. Honestly. Promise. I'm going to fix this blasted text and get it to stay in the lower big box where it's *supposed* to be (only I didn't know how to do it at the time *g*), and fix some other things that're annoying me.. but I'm lazy. I know how to do it all now, but it's a loooot of coding and resizing things which is just a pain and time-consuming. (Right, like I don't have spare time?? *laughs* anyway...)
I'm babbling. Going now.

 
Oooo... aim and msn-messenger may hook up.. that's good. esp. if, y'know, yahoo winds up in on it too, then Daf gets to talk with everyone else! *laughs* (yim HATES my Lawrence, so...yeah.)

w007! partial-birth abortion bill's gone thru the House... *crosses fingers* ... ..I'm sorry, you *don't* kill a child as it's in the midst of being born, it--- *shudders vioelntly, can't even say any more..*

Anyway, unsuccessfully looked for work today..meh. will head over to Kmart if I remember tomorrow, *they're* hiring, anyway, even if no-one else around here is... (not that I want to, mind, I'd be perfectly content with the occasional babysitting and lawn-mowing and things all summer, but..*shrugs*)
Going to work with Dad tomorrow...oooog...5-fookin'-AM...*groans* ...so I'm getting off of here before I start babbling up a storm, I promised Megs I'd type up the next bit of the fic I'm writing her tonight, sooo.. ^_~

 
Is it human nature in general, teenage rebellion, or just me, that has this perverse instinct that whenever you're told to do something, you want to do it less? The more you're harassed about it, the less you want to do it... I suppose it's partly the guilt/regret building and you don't want to face it, and the more you try to put it out of your head the more it grows, unseen - or, seen, but neglected, anyway. This what leads to serious repression issues eventually, I wonder?
Fook. I need to take psych...

 
Ah. And thanks to Google and its wonderous searches, I've figured out what's up with the Chameleons/Chameleons UK thing, I think. *Is*, in fact, the same band. Names seem to be about interchangable. *laughs* They split up in '87, but got back together again in 2000. Had a new album out..wow, this year! *g* Sweet...

"With this kind of audience, you'd think the band might go for the popular jugular. Not so, says Burgess: "The kind of records that usually make top 10 in this country, I wouldn't take them for free. If we did get a radio hit in England, I'd be quite worried at the quality of what we're doing." " (taken from this article)

..I think I like these guys. *g*

*pokes around some other sites* *jaw hits floor* DUDE! ..one of their guitarists' name? is Reg. No joke.
*dies*

 
Music In The Womb
(The Chameleons)

She played me music in the womb
So I'd learn to talk in tune
She played me music in the womb
So I'd learn to talk in tune
Dreaming of something
Waiting for something
Longing for something
Dreaming of something
They told me stories everyday
So I'd learn to think that way
They told me stories every day
So I'd learn to think that way
She played me music in the womb
She played me music in the womb
Dreaming of something
Dreaming of something

(...thanks for all the U2, Mom... *g*)
