Joy.
Our dear Obama obviously doesn't realize that many students already spend an extra three hours at school and spend a lot of time there during the summer due to extracurricular activities. Will his brilliant plan put an end to those? I hardly have time for marching band and school already, and if I get a job?
How would a student get a job if school went til 5 pm, not to mention all year, anyways?

That wasn't so bad...
So I've been in Advisory for the past while because of my math teacher's 1,000 point Disclosure Document, which I didn't turn in simply because he never collected it and so I never thought to hand it in. It's been signed since the day I got it, I'm just absentminded and, apparently, so is he.
I've known about it for a while now, but kept forgetting to go and hand it to him, but Madison's been getting after me for not turning it in yet, and I think even Robertson is getting annoyed at my having to be in Advisory every day for a disclosure document. So today I remembered to get it out at the end of class, went over to Palmer, and handed it to him, along with a long-winded explanation of why it was so late in hopes that he wouldn't get mad at me.
I don't think he listened at all, just took the paper and said, "Okay, I'll get that in." and headed over to his computer.
o.O
And here I was worrying he wouldn't even let me turn it in, or that he would at least be mad at me or something. I need to stop my mind from giving me constant worst-case scenarios, I'd get a lot more done.
But, this song comes in quite well with the story:

I also had to post it for Madison since she doesn't believe Groovelily writes any good music. I think this has to be among the best in the world (not to mention it gave me my 'Mission Statement'- yet another dumb English assignment, kinda like this blog- in a good three seconds).

They had the right idea in Medieval times...
http://www.reuters.com/article/oddlyEnoughNews/idUSTRE58F4WL20090916
Maybe we should have just stuck with hanging people. Back in the day the whole town would come out and have a party every time they did that. It was the highlight of every little boy's life to see someone do 'the jig'.
Or we could draw and quarter them, shoot 'em six times, behead them (wouldn't that be fun to watch a guillotine? They live for 13 seconds after their heads are cut off!), spin 'em on a wheel and throw knives at them, crucify them...
So many ways of killing that were practically failproof. Now they can't kill someone because they can't find a good vein to inject some poison into. Do you know how many drug-addicted rapist-murderers there are out there who are running so low on veins to stick drugs into that they can't recieve a death penalty? A lot more than we have space for in our prisons. What joy.
This idea of giving killers a 'kind death' just throws me, I'm sure the people they killed didn't get such a nice passing.
Not to mention the drugs just to knock felons out are expensive, why spend an extra mound of money on the lethal drugs too when an axe is so much quicker, cheaper, and trustworthy?
People just make no sense nowadays.
Good heavens, I need to stop reading news and books.

Holy Cow
Wow that was a long post. This is the non-brain-melting post. c: Or at least not as brain-melting as my book report.
Yesterday me and some friends (actually more Peyton's friends, but whatever, I get along with them well enough) had a movie night, and it was surprisingly enjoyable even though it didn't turn out exactly as expected (which was that orignally it was just a thing me and Peyton were doing, then some more people came). There was lots of entertaining 'What if?' playing, a lot of Michelle making loads of noise, like she always does, the watching of Bambi II (totally epic) and Beauty and the Beast, and the part that made it all worth it: Peyton, Jenny, and Michelle sitting down and discussing what a stupid set of books the Twilight series is.
I had no part in it, they just... set off on an awesome conversation journey thing. I sat there with Haley and we tried to figure out what kind of flower was on the cover of New Moon (ruffled tulip, we Googled it) and discussed Belle's voice and how it wasn't particuarly good but fit her so well that it just magically seemed like it was. And Peyton made fun of us because Haley is one of those excessive and freakishly addicted Twitards, while I'm so poisonously against the Twilight series that the fact that I haven't gone around and burned every existing copy shocks some people (don't worry though, it's still a book so I'm not going to hurt it, just insult it), yet we get along really well.
So, that was really happy. There were a lot of other entertaining happenings that I'm sure happened, but I don't remember the exact details so I guess you don't get to hear about them. :P
And to get in my link, here's to yet another Groovelily song, once again from Sleeping Beauty Wakes. Freakiest lullaby ever. I love it.

Yay dA
See that title? It rhymes. C8
But anyways, this is a happy post about how my dad finally unlocked dA after so long of having it blocked by our Internet filters. (<-- yay weird grammar) Finally I can see good art/get good critiques and stuff again! 8DDD Finally I can look up good mermaid pics. ._. Been in need of that for a while.
So far I've only put one picture on my new account, but it is awesome. You should all admire it.
http://sparradile.deviantart.com/art/Background-Hunting-136879982
There's a dinosaur, which makes clicking that link worth your time. And a shadow. I don't do those often.
Soooo yep. I don't think all of my old dA friends realize who I am but they are commenting nonetheless and it is entertaining. xD
It's nice to be back there. c:

It came from the Math Notes
I realized the other day that my doodles tend to live very unhappy lives.
http://i791.photobucket.com/albums/yy198/Sparradile/E3712247.jpg
But it's okay 'cause yesterday I also bought myself "Fossil Fighters", a DS game where you dig up fossils, revive them in to rave-colored dinos, and battle them. 8DDD It's freakin' awesome. Right now I'm on a quest to find the Ghost of Woolbeard's lost beard ribbon, without which he can never pass peacefully into the next life and remains the ridicule of pirate fashion critics everywhere.
The stupidity of the game is endless, but it's got dinosaurs so it's close to beating out all my pokemon games for favorite.
Or at least it will be until SoulSilver and HeartGold come out, since Jhoto is the best region in the world. But Fossil Fighters has six-ish months to go 'til then.
