What happened today?
Alright, I don't want to sound like I'm bragging about myself, but ever since freshman year, EVERYONE, teachers and parents included, has told me that I can get into any school I want. I'm pretty smart. Yay. And I have lived up to today thinking that getting into a college won't be a problem, it's PICKING one that will be the problem. And honestly, I'm all but sold on Princeton.
But today on the way home from another college, my mom told me I should think about other places in case Princeton isn't "a possibility". And I was like, uh...a financial possibility? And she was like, no, cuz they have a real strict admissions process and I might not get in.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR BUILDING UP MY CONFIDENCE AND CRAP THESE FOUR YEARS AND THEN DEMOLISHING IT IN A DAY.
I get really touchy when talking about my smarts. And when I'm finally starting to feel a little comfortable with that fact that, yes, I am smart, she says something like that and I'm like, "...WHAT?! YOU TOLD ME I COULD GET INTO HARVARD WITH NO PROBLEM WTF?! NOW I HAVE TO BE WORRIED AND CRAP!"
(headdesk headdesk headdesk) I'm having a crap day.
I also had a major fail at Earthbound (like, MAJOR FAIL) and my brother commentated through the whole thing and acted like a jerk...I almost punched him cuz I was already pissed about the college thing...He's all up in my face about how much farther he is in the game and I'm like, "THAT'S CUZ YOU NEVER LEAVE ME ALONE."
I hate playing one player games in front of people...And I want to be a Let's Player. Ha.
And I've been informed I have tutoring tomorrow. Well, gee, maybe I shouldn't go, since I'm obviously not as smart as I thought I was. Then I have band. I HATE BAND. HATE IT HATE IT HATE IT HATE IT. I leave every practice feeling like crap! But I can't quit! (headdesk) I just...need to have a sick day tomorrow. Really badly.
GUYZ I GET TO GO VISIT COLLEGES IN NEW ENGLAND THIS WEEKEND. MAYBE WE SHOULD GO TO HARVARD SO I CAN STARE LONGINGLY AT THE GATES.
I think I should go to sleep...Maybe that will help...Sorry I'm acting so pissy today guys...
Tata~!

Today's Word: Earthquake, I guess
Today's Video Game: Earthbound

So, since the two people I know live near me here on theO have discussed it, I guess I will give my thoughts on this "earthquake" we had.
Load of crap. I felt nothing, and it didn't get me out of band practice. What kind of wimpy little quake is that?!
Anyways, moving on. I got further in Earthbound today, beating Titanic Ant in three moves <3 But then I got my butt handed to me by Captain Vash Strong. I died once on his police officers, almost died on another, then, in the battle against him, DID die but killed him on the turned where I died, thereby coming back with one hp. ...WUT? I was shocked XD
Ended off just beating Everdred and am now getting ready to head off to Happy Happy Village and save Arthur PAULA from certain doom. BLUE BLUE. BLUE BLUE BLUE BLUE BLUE BLUE (is struck by lightning)
If you have no idea who I'm talking about, go look at my AWESOME don't listen to a thing she says, they look awful boss bookmarks on my portfolio. BLANTANT SELF-ADVERTISEMENT YEAH!
Alrighty, gonna go and doodle Earthbound characters now! OBSESSION~! Tata~!

I GOT EARTHBOUND TODAY as well as the SNES which is pretty important I guess too but EARTHBOUND EARTHBOUND EARTHBOUND MWAHAHAHAHA
Unfortunately, I'm not very good at the game...I just need to do a bit of level grinding and I'll be fine, but it's hard to do that with your brother staring over your shoulder...
JEFF IS BRITISH. OMG JEFF IS BRITISH. And I thought his character couldn't get more amazing.
Anyways, I really don't have much else to talk about besides that...I'm supposed to be writing stuff to send to colleges, but Earthbound is much more important...
Anyways, sorry for the short post ^^; Tata~!

Today's Video Game: Metroid Prime

I really should be sleeping...I'm getting that exhausted feeling where you feel all empty and nasty and crap...Don't want...
There was a terrible storm today...My dog got really freaked out...It took me twenty minutes to get her up the stairs and into the bathroom, and then she had an accident in the tub that I had to clean up. And I had to go outside to throw it out, so I spent five minutes running through hell to get to my trash can -_- I love storms, but this one was crazy scary...
Metroid Prime is amazing. Scary, but amazing. Chozo ghosts... (shudder) I liked the story, but it was kinda hard to understand what was going on... Oh, and I immediately came up with some kind of Hetalia crossover which at the moment has two alternate timelines...I'm crazy...
I found a CD of Earthbound remixes...I can't stop listening to the hotel song... <3 It's so dark but awesome...
I'm still not feeling well...Maybe I should go to sleep... >//< Tata~!

WARNING: THIS POST IS LONG
I have to apologize for not posting for almost a week. Band camp was just terrible. Even after the first twelve hour day I knew it was going to be awful. People were exhausted, absolutely exhausted. I had the music stuck in my head for hours on end. There was one day where the guard instructors, who I think take this activity much too seriously, made us do 100 jumping jacks because two people were late.
One, I'm out of shape. Two, I'm still sick, and my throat has been sore and CLOSING UP from time to time. I legitimately had to take five full minutes to regulate my breathing because after those jumping jacks, my throat DID close up and I couldn't breathe. At all. A GUARD INSTRUCTOR ALMOST KILLED ME ISN'T THAT WONDERFUL? (twitch)
Another thing. I get terrible blisters from playing four mallets, you know, two mallets in each hand. And we're playing our first song at a speed of 160 beats per minute, which is FRICKIN FAST. So here I am, playing with four mallets at breakneck speed and ripping my hands to shreds, and halfway through the week I find out that I have no four mallet parts in that song. And my destruction of my hands was completely unnecessary.
... (insert epic NCS scream here)
Of course, the blisters didn't get better after I switched to two mallets, they got worse. -_- My fingers still feel really numb.
Then there was the senior sleepover. No sexual advances, though I did turn my head just in time to see one of the guys (another creepy one) taking off his pants. In plain sight. O_o I mean, yeah he had regular shorts underneath, but WARNING PLEASE. Plus I know that he did flash a girl in band before so...
People were smoking at this sleepover. Smoking PRETZELS. Yes, it's possibly. I didn't do it, partially because of my throat and partially because it's SMOKING a FRIGGIN PRETZEL. But yeah...
Oh, and I had my first Monster. Since the sleepover was Thursday night and we still had band camp yesterday, I realized I needed to function. So it was three thirty in the morning and I could not sleep because my leg pains were so bad from just constant band (and I don't even march >//<). So I figured, Alright, I'll just pull an all-nighter and use one of the multiple monsters my friend Italy bought to get me through. Well the people who were up and drinking them already were having shaking fits, and I was like, "Does that happen to everyone?"
Of course, Italy, who drinks five a day, says no, so I drink one. Now, I drank sparingly, maybe a swallow at a time, and I was completely fine. But I was still really tired, and I was concerned about what happens if you sleep after drinking a Monster cuz that's not supposed to happen. Well, I fell asleep. And I woke up thinking I was having a seizure.
After that it gave me stomach pains, and I felt like I was going to puke all practice. YAY. Plus Friday's practice was crap anyway and we played really suckily cuz everyone was EXHAUSTED and got yelled at and yeah. I was really really cranky and ready to yell at everyone or cry or something. Thank god for New Zealand (another senior guy) and his family, because somehow they managed to bring me back to a somewhat normal mood for the "picnic" that we had (and that got basically flooded out).
Even though practice was supposed to end early and the picnic not be exceedingly long, I still didn't leave school until 8:30ish. Then I got home and basically went right to sleep.
AND WOKE UP AT SEVEN A.M. NO. I NEEDED A GOOD TWELVE, THIRTEEN HOURS OF SLEEP TO GET MY ENERGY BACK.
I'm so exhausted...I was planning on posting in both the rp worlds I do tonight and I don't think I have the energy to type for much longer...TOMORROW THEN. IF I'M NOT STILL DEAD.
Crap this post is super long and I still didn't get to talk about Metroid Prime yet. Okay. Here it is. Metroid Prime is SCARY AS CRAP. I was holding my breath and ready to scream through most of this LP. Oh my god terrifying. I didn't think Nintendo was capable of such a scary, dark game. I'm not sure if I could actually play this. I mean, the story is AMAZING, but...yeah, I'd prefer NOT to lose sleep over something like that.
Btw, I can't play the original Super Mario Bros. for beans. I feel like a crappy gamer ^^;
Alright, I really should get to bed, but I'm probably going to watch more Metroid Prime anyway. EXHAUSTION YAY. Tata~!
