| Time to whine about today. Mmyes. Had a math test, bio test and english test. Got 46/50 on the English test (Macbeth comprehension), only had one question unanswered on the math test (didn't remember how to do it) and the bio test was meh. This will be a relatively short blog. The main thing missing from our everyday lives are people who read for fun. Seriously, who reads actual books for fun? I mean novels, short stories, whatever. People tend to stop reading, and they are unable to read long paragraphs or anything of the like. If everyone would read, then our attention span and vocabulary would increase exponentially. Also, you can see how the mind of authors work when they are writing their characters. I mean, what's the most interesting thing in this world? The mind, the one thing we cannot even begin to fathom. I cannot ever say I know what you are thinking, I can cast an educated guess from the surroundings, but I cannot actually realize what it is. I do find it somewhat annoying if I have to explain what I am saying, especially when I am using short words. I mean, it's alright if I have to explain, but if people would just stop and read a novel, any kind that you look, should it be romance, fantasy, sci-fi, mystery, whatever, people would be way better off than before. I have no problem with grammar, as I tend to make grammatical errors as well, it's just when people seem to be as patient as a gnat, that it really pisses me off. I am prone to a bit of impatience, but if I can sit in Church for an hour and 15 minutes listening to a language that I can barely grasp talking about the wonders of God and whatnot, people should be able to read a blog that the first part is just lyrics anyway... | | |
| The Saga Begins A long, long time ago In a galaxy far away Naboo was under an attack And I thought me and qui-gon jinn Could talk the federation into Maybe cutting them a little slack But their response, it didnt thrill us They locked the doors and tried to kill us We escaped from that gas Then met jar jar and boss nass We took a bongo from the scene And we went to theed to see the queen We all wound up on tatooine Thats where we found this boy...
Oh my my this here anakin guy May be vader someday later - now hes just a small fry And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye Sayin soon Im gonna be a jedi Soon Im gonna be a jedi
Did you know this junkyard slave Isnt even old enough to shave And he can use the force, they say Ahh, do you see him hitting on the queen Though hes just nine and shes fourteen Yah, hes probably gonna marry her someday Well, I knew he built c-3po And Ive heard how fast his pod can go And we were broke, its true So we made a wager or two He was a prepubescent flyin ace And the minute jabba started off that race Well, I knew who would win first place Oh yes, it was our boy
We started singin ... My my this here anakin guy May be vader someday later - now hes just a small fry And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye Sayin soon Im gonna be a jedi Soon Im gonna be a jedi
Now we finally got to coruscant The jedi council we knew would want To see how good the boy could be So we took him there and we told the tale How his midi-chlorians were off the scale And he might fulfill that prophecy Oh, the council was impressed, of course Could he bring balance to the force? They interview the kid Oh, training they forbid Because yoda sensed in him much fear And qui-gon said now listen here Just stick it in your pointy ear I still will teach this boy
He was singin ... My my this here anakin guy May be vader someday later - now hes just a small fry And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye Sayin soon Im gonna be a jedi Soon Im gonna be a jedi
We caught a ride back to naboo cause queen amidala wanted to I frankly wouldve liked to stay We all fought in that epic war And it wasnt long at all before Little hotshot flew his plane and saved the day And in the end some gunguns died Some ships blew up and some pilots fried A lot of folks were croakin The battle droids were broken And the jedi I admire most Met up with darth maul and now hes toast Well, Im still here and hes a ghost I guess Ill train this boy
And I was singin ... My my this here anakin guy May be vader someday later - now hes just a small fry And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye Sayin soon Im gonna be a jedi Soon Im gonna be a jedi
We were singin ... My my this here anakin guy May be vader someday later - now hes just a small fry And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye Sayin soon Im gonna be a jedi By Weird Al Yankovic, a parody of Don Mclean's American Pie (which is also a great song) You might be wondering what the hell is with the purple and red. Purple is my favorite color, what with it being a radiance of badassery (I am Jeffrey, I can make up words as I please) and red is the color of our life fluid. Also, I am too freaking lazy to make a whole layout. What a waste of time that is. Now, about today. It started well today, Math and whatnot. I didn't have that much fun, although I did jack Ricardo's scientific calculator to see if he would ever notice. I guess he wouldn't notice until Chemistry, so I just gave it back to him. It was then followed by advisory, which I was using to study for the french quiz (pretty much memorizing the le's and la's) History then followed, and the class started with Mrs Williams telling us about the paragraph quiz we had earlier (and fancy that, I didn't even know that was a quiz) and saying how anyone with a 10 or below should reconsider taking History HL. I was nervous that I would get bad, around 10 or so, but then I calmed myself. I never got bad on the paragraphs in Lorenz's class, sure they weren't A's or anything, but I've been getting a solid 80-84% in those paragraphs. And in the last paragraph I did in History, I got 4/5, so I surmised that I would get around the same. Lo and behold, I got 8/10, which is doubled since it's a quiz. Not that bad, 80%, exactly like my first paragraph. Jason Wen was next to me and got 5/10, and spent the rest of the class sulking and whatnot. Apparently, Darren and Nina both got 6, so that made me feel good. What with Nina being in Math HL and Darren creaming me in French. Then I had lunch, which was rather boring. Nothing exciting happened, and it was a big snorefest. Then came French, the quiz thingy (6/8, not THAT bad) and then the fire drill. Since I'm in Rooksby's class, I just pretty much grabbed my coat and walked out the door. Peter and I then stood and talked about what it would be like if the school was like the Roman Empire next year and that we (the grade 12s) dominated it. The last spot I'd want is the emperor... Finally, I went to Chemistry. Mr. Ryan wasn't here today, so we had a substitute. I don't quite remember her name, something like Ms. Beku or Benku. Whatever, that matters not. I'd normally rant but I have Bio homework to do, and only several hours to do it. (which is more then enough) I don't even know what to rant about. I was thinking either religion or girls. And to rant I need to form convincing points so then it won't be a complete rant. I would be more trying to persuade you to join my cause. Vive la revolution and whatnot. *mumbles* Now I'm just rambling... Oh yeah.... Can anyone tell me how to set up a display pic thing? Like the picture that appears when you post a comment. | | |
| Well then, I just made a xanga. Many people (you know who you are) have asked me about it. So I condemned my soul (once I can find it) to the xanga gods. I'm kind of new at this, so I might as well just rip off what other people do on their xanga, which is blab about their lives. Assuming that you care, that is. If not, you can just bug off. I had an ok day, got my math test back and didn't do bad. Yup, SL is for me. HL is too higher-caste for my standards. To all the HLers out there, screw you. Lunch was fun, same as always. Our group happened to have 20 people, maybe 21, since I don't remember if I counted myself. I noticed we blocked most of the hall, sure must be a pissant to those innocents who are trying to get past us. Otherwise, this day was mediocre at best. Oh yeah, I forgot. A rant. I'm going to rant about something very simple. People who type like a dyslexic, when they are not at all. I absolutely hate that. Just because they feel lazy and don't feel like typing out full words, doesn't mean we have to strain our eyes or our minds to begin to DECIPHER what they are mumbling. I can't even fathom what is going through their minds when they do that, do they think it's easy for other people who happen to READ every so often to understand? I mean, I konw if you tpye lkie tihs you can siltl udenstrnad waht I am syinag. But typing lik dis iz nawt ez 4 oder pplz 2 comprehend. So that's a bit of a rant to all those out there who type in "Internet Lingo". Learn to type properly for word processed documents. I don't mind if people spell like that in MSN, since Instant Messengers are meant to be instant, but in stuff where people have to actually sit down and read... Geezus... | | |
