I like the number 12. It's satisfying.
I learned something today! Runneth is present tense and..current, or whatever you call it. (At least, I think that's what the teacher said... I was asking several adults if runneth was past tense or present tense.) So, runneth is like saying running, right? Like....The cup runneth over. = The cup is running over.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhh I'm exhausted, but I still need to do my 30 min workout. I'll just wait a bit....... I have art class tomorrow! I think I get my money from selling my paintings tomorrow or next week, since my art teacher is sort of forgetful. He's like the stereotypical, easygoing art teacher. He's awesome and loves to paint owls.
I am SO glad it's the weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And since Monday is MLK day, it's a long weekend! Yipeee!!!!!!!!
It's 5:46, and I returned from art class around 5 minutes ago. Or 4 minutes ago. Or three. Art class went well, and the teacher dude, David, talked for a while while people drew or watched him. There were two new members, and I ate a ton of oreos (I regret it) because there were oreos and cookies out as snacks. Class was around 2 hours. I painted over an umbrella on a canvas with a very pretty mixture of various shades of blue and white, so now it's all ocean-y. BUT: the umbrella was drawn in GODDAMN SHARPIE, so you can still see the stupid umbrella. D:< After class, my mom picked me up and we went to a burger place. I was REALLY REALLY hungry because I only ate brunch, which was a piece of toast and some oatmeal. (Plus the oreos.) I ate the fries in the car in the span of 3 minutes or so. When I got home, I ate my burger in like a minute and a half. I've never been so hungry in my life. Oh! And one of the new members of the art class was really nice! She showed me a drawing in her sketchbook, and she's pretty good! She uses a lot of color. I try to, but I'm better with just a pencil. I've been inking and using water color brushpens a lot more often recently, though!
I rewatched the anime Yuri!!! On Ice! It was super adorable. I hear there's a movie for it coming out sometime this year!Since I'm rewatching anime, I think I'll rewatch Your Lie On April. You know, just to make me sob and cry and question the good in the world. : )
When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me, speaking words of wisdom, let it be. And in my hour of darkness, she is standing right in front of me, speaking words of wisdom, let it beeee. Let it be. Oooh, let it be, oooh, let it be. Whisper words of wisdom, let it be. When all of the broken hearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be. For though there may be parted, here is still a chance that they will see. There will be an answer, let it be. Oh let it be, let it be, let it be.I LOVE the Beatles. This is Let It Be by the Beatles. :D
Sorry. I know I punctuated that wrong. I was trying to type whilst (or while???) listening to the song, which is pretty difficult. Someday, I will be able to do it easily. Once I get my typing speed to...145 WPM. I'm close. Sort of.
I think I'll try reading Twilight again. I have several copies from Little Free Libraries around, so I can highlight the copy I read. I don't think I've mentioned this, but I hate the Twilight Saga. The writing is...okay. Average YA book writing. But what's truly wrong about it is...well, there are many things wrong with it. I'll list 'em below:1.) Edward is like 109 or something, and Bella is an underage high school girl. Underage. Edward is like...great grandfather age, and I don't think it makes a difference that he looks her age. It's just as disgusting. Truly.
2.) This isn't too much of a problem, but Bella is such a bland character. Does she not have a personality? Does she have any interests besides Edward? Any hobbies? (This one isn't as bad in the books, but in the movie, Bella is just so...expressionless.) And how come she's instantly popular? The school she goes to isn't really that small. Seriously. Also, she's always shocked that people think she's pretty, but, from my experience, pretty people know they're pretty. They can act shocked when they're complimented, but they know. People can have self image issues and this can change things, but it isn't mentioned that Bella has any of these.
3.) In no relationships is it healthy that someone considers death or gets depressed when they break up with their partner. Bella, when Edward cuts her off for her safety, gets severely depressed, and though some people think, "Ooh, true love! You go get your man, Bella!" or something like that, it's not healthy.
4.) This is a major one: Edward says that he's been watching Bella sleep for months. I should think that why this is bad would be obvious. This is stalking. This is messed up.
5.) Jacob (view spoiler) imprints on Bella's daughter. Need I say more?
6.) This one isn't so bad. But why do vampires sparkle? I mean, just....why? It's supposed to be original, and I suppose it is, but...I don't know, I just think it's sort of stupid.
7.) Bella really isn't that nice to her friends. She pushes them to the side very often, and she considers them far less important than her "true love".
That's all I can think of right now. Sorry for the rant review, and I'm sorry if you like the books and I offended you. This is just my personal opinion.
Also, I'm probably stealing other people's opinions unintentionally, but if I am, it's only because I totally agree with other people.
Favorite Beatles songs: Hey Jude, Come Together, Strawberry Fields Forever, Blackbird, Here Comes The Sun, Yesterday, Hello Goodbye, Penny Lane, Rocky Racoon, Help!, and Let It Be. I think those are all my favorites, but I may be forgetting some. But really, all Beatles songs are amazing. XD
Also- if anyone is reading this, I just want to point out that posting comments is absolutely fine! Actually, I love talking to people on Goodreads, so it would be lovely if anyone commented. : )
The hardcover of Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff is so beautiful. I only have the paperback, but I want the hardcover versions of all three books in the trilogy! <3
That awkward moment when both your knees hurt but you only have one knee brace, so you have to decide which knee hurts more. ⬆️
'Tis me right now,
I calculated how many hours (roughly) of exercise I do a week (including my home workouts): 13.8+ hours. Wowa, me. : )
Currently 7:53 PM. I went to a sleepover yesterday at my friend's house with another friend, which was fun. We stayed up until like 12:30 AM doing workout videos together. One of my friends I do gymnastics with, and the other does ballet, so we're all pretty athletic. Unfortunately, I can't do my leg workout tonight because my knees (both) really hurt when I try to do squats or lunges. I hope they'll be okay for the competition coming up. : (
I have not responded in so long, SORRY.

What about revolution and Please Mr. Postman!!!

It's okay! Life's busy. I haven't heard those songs, but I'll listen to them tomorrow. It's sort of late, so I should go to sleep. : )
Goodnight, people.

Good morning, organisms! I'm tired. I stayed up until 12:30 AM reading a library book I got yesterday at the school library. (( finished it.) I can't really say I regret my actions, since I don't, but less than 6 hours of sleep is not healthy. I don't do this as often as I did last school year, though, so I should be fine. Okay. 'Tis 6:42 AM, so I should start my workouts now. I drank a ton of pure lemon juice mixed with water and stevia, so I'm feeling uncomfortably full right now. I have gymnastics today, and school's an hour short!
Yesterday, everyone else ran the mile. I, among two other people, didn't, because I have a note signed by my dad stating my injuries. Both knees, left hips, sort of my shoulders. (My shoulders keep popping whenever I do by arm workouts. Might wanna get that checked out. Or stretch more.)
Aw, I'm sorry. What happened to your jaw? And what did you do last week?
I discovered today that I can do chin ups! I did...four. Almost five. This is severely disappointing, but hey, I can work up to 20, and it ain't so bad for someone who weighs 110 pounds. I think. I honestly have no idea.
thx. btw I can only do like 2 maybe 3 chin ups lol
That's still good! A lot of people can't do any chin ups. Besides, I only did one more than you.
Just did a 10 min arms workout! My joints are popping loudly. I'm worried.
you should stop before you hurt yourself
It's alright! I exercise a lot, and I know not to continue if anything starts to hurt. I do gymnastics. Actually, you probably already know that, though, if you've read my profile. : )
So. I'm back. (Not that I was every gone, but I'm back on Goodreads.) I'm probably not going to be very active, but I would just like to notify anyone who hasn't bothered to stop notifications from this journal that I have not, in fact, suffered a grievous injury and am unable to move, paralyzed in the hospital. Nor am I dead. I am in good health and am feeling alright. Anyhow, riddle me this: (HARRY POTTER SPOILER ALERT, IF, FOR SOME REASON, YOU HAVEN'T READ THE AMAZING SERIES THAT IS HARRY POTTER)How come, in Harry Potter, Harry can't see the thestrals until the fifth book, after Cedric dies, when he was in the crib when he was one, witnessing his mother's death? It makes no sense! He should have been able to see them in the beginning! (I'm re-reading the Harry Potter series for the fifth or sixth time. :D)
Wow, what is my life. I'm eating Cheerio cereal at 9:40 PM and listening to lofi hip hop. That's literally it. Also, I'm trying not to cry. I already all out bawled (and I'm not lying) for like an hour while I was reading The Way I Used To Be, and now my parents are back home, so I don't want them to see me crying.
I wonder if it's possible to unfriend someone on Goodreads. Not that I'm inclined to, but I probably lost some friends from being inactive for like...half a year.
My eyes still sting from crying. I didn't realize they did that, but it feels sort of good. I haven't cried in a while, and even if it's only because of a book I read, it was really nice to let it all out. (Dunno what "it all" is, though.)
I think it might actually be time for me to be active on Goodreads once more. No promises, but I miss this place. It's pretty supportive, and I love books.
But you know what that means! I seriously need to change my profile.
You know, I think I'm on page 13 now. Isn't that an unlucky number? I heard somewhere that it's the number of the devil. I suppose I should try to comment lots to avoid getting murdered or ran over by a semi truck or something. Note: I updated my profile! Not that anyone noticed, but hi, imaginary friends!
Note: For an essay in LA, talking about how year long school should not be enforced, I had a paragraph at the beginning that sort of formed a scenario, and it was written in a: "You stepped on the beetle," kind of perspective. Anyhow, in the essay, you got ran over by a semi truck because your friend told you your school district was forcing year long school on everyone.
Wow, that's random.
Sup, freaks and geeks and...okay I can't think of anything else that both rhymes and is actually a good noun. Ahem.
I just read Geekerella! It was...AMAZING. I love all books about fandoms and cons! Unfortunately, I've never been to comic con or anime con or any con at all, but I really hope I can go to the comic con in Washington. Someday....
By now, I think you all know that my language arts teacher is awesome.
