sorcyress*So, yesterday wound up being all kinds of an awesome and interesting day, with things like Dr. Roth1 calling me a "math goddess" (No I'm not, but flattering!) and graduating Squares, and having them call everyone else's name and then just pause and look at me and PeterO and then be all "and you two are awesome for perfect attendance" (and Benjy gave me chocolate, glee!), and BALLOONS!.
And then there was the part of yesterday that involved me saying "er, I probably shouldn't get lead into an open wound2, should I?" And Austein3 just kinda looking at me and telling me to go wash my hands and not handle any more type until I'd put a band-aid on.
"Handle type?" Yeah. Matt has access to a printing press. As in big ass-metal machine with dozens of cases containing thousands of little lead letters in various font sizes and OHMYGOD is it neat. I am learning things! Like that the organization of said letters is ridiculous and only partially makes sense. And it's impossible to figure out where commas go.
*Today is a much less awesome and interesting day, but I have had two real meals in the meal hall, and gotten homework done, and stuff.
*Based on talking earlier about insults and stuff, Rackle drew what may be the most amazing picture in the world. I want it as an icon. Possibly with some sort of text like "I compliment you on your most lovely asshat!" or something. I will use it in flamewars and it will be epic.
*I kinda like today's A Softer World. It's about sex.
*mek wrote an excellent thing about why you should get off your high horse and stop being all "ew, ereaders are the worst thing ever, would never give up my REAL books".
*Apparently someone edited the four levels of dream together to create Inception in Real Time (link is to YouTube)
*Oh crap, I still have Nurit's keys. Also, I found a key on the street today, and have put it on my keyring with the diary key I found in California. My quest is closer to completion!
(Other people do that, right? Pick up quest items when you find them on the ground? Keys and business cards are my two biggest things, though anything with cursive handwriting is crucial as well.)
*So, Liss over at Shakesville4 does a semi-daily quickly drawn comic starring herself and her best friend Deeky and various other characters, to rant about stuff, or laugh, or squee, or whatever. Today's is about why rape jokes aren't funny, and I think it does a _really_ good job of getting across the necessary sentiment.
*My mother is the best mother, and I am the luckiest child ever, and I got better sex education than probably anyone else reading this journal, and I am so so grateful for that. So thanks mom.
(Man, and what was the thing from Diesel last night that had everyone all impressed and DHS declaring my mom to be one of the most amazing moms ever? I can't remember, and that's bumming me out. But yeah, Werewulf is SUPER COOL!)
*I've been reading the Bloggess for a few weeks now, and finding her to be the sort of out there and ostentatious that is probably very wearing to deal with constantly in real life, but super awesome to read about in a blog. Anyways, she posted a pretty thing about people being flawed and still beautiful, and asked people in the comments to answer why they're beautiful.
The comments are awesome. A little sad, a little charming, and generally just awesome. Oh man, and scanning through them randomly, I come across the line "I am beautiful because all my 'flaws' can't cover up ME." and that is a fucking awesome line.
*I need to turn this blog into a twitter account.
*I spell "separate" correctly because I remember that it has "a rat" in it. "Embarrassment" contains two a's, two r's, and two s's, very balanced. "Thorough" is a comprised of "Tho" and "rough", as the man himself pointed out to me once. "Definitely" has the finite contained within it, and "ridiculous" contains ridicul(e)5. And of course, the "principal" of the school is your pal, the "principle" of the thing is not.
What are some words you used to spell wrong, until you finally found an association that clicked it for you?
*Christmas list: tights,index cards, pens: Sanford uni-ball onyx micro or pilot precise V5 rolling ball extra fine. Yes, I am a pen snob. At least I'm a pen snob for relatively cheap pens.

MOOP!
1: Physics teacher
2: It's not exactly open, being mostly scabbed over, but I gouged my hand somewhat deep on a chain-link fence the other day. Because I am clumsy.
3: Sometimes referred to as "MIT-Matt". The name I actually refer to him by about ninety percent of the time in my mind is not, I believe, a name he wants publicly associated with him, which gives me pause when trying to write entries.
4: Magus pointed out to me that he found it a bit strange that I would refer to Shakesville as though it were an entity, rather than a collaborative blog written by a dozen or more people. I agree, and am going to start trying to change that --it just involves looking at the byline, which is a thing I don't generally ever do. Oops.
5: Admittedly, I do still spell recockulous with the e, instead. Looks better that way.
