(no subject)

[tammaiya]

I am going to update instead of doing my homework because I am SMART. You wanna know how smart? I'm still going to do my homework. I'M GOING TO DO IT AT MIDNIGHT. Which is even stupider than it sounds for a combination of reason. Which I will get to later.

Yesterday, I... *mental blank* Hang on. Give me a second.

Had school followed by dance, but I can't remember any better than that. *frown* WEIRD. Okay, so I had- that's right! I had Japanese first period, which is the only subject I'm actually trying in at the moment. Which I illustrate by saying I then had IT and spent 45 out of the 50 minutes writing an email to Ji. I have a test in under two weeks, too. *cough* ANYWAY. In form I had participation thrust upon me. At the moment we're doing this thing called "Search For A Super-Form" where each form has to write a song/skit and perfom it in year meetings. (Don't ask. Just... don't.) My form is rewriting the Brady Bunch theme.

Yes, you did read that correctly.

Anyway, basically they started on the first verse, did a bit, got stuck and went "WAH! SIOBHAN YOU WRITE AND SING AND STUFF FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIX IIIIIIIIIIIT! *flail*" (No, seriously. I'm being quite literal here. XD) and thus it was that I spent ten minutes of my free rewriting the Brady Bunch lyrics. Why did I agree? Well, for one thing it wasn't going to take much time. For another, I SUCK at saying no. And most importantly, at least I know that if we're REALLY bad I've only got myself to blame.

... Wait a second.

I must be a masochist. It's the only explanation. I knew there had to be a reason I identifed with Subaru! Gasp. Then again, I don't think the lyrics are THAT bad. At least we have something definite- there's nothing worse than getting up and mumbling something with no real tune where everyone is making it up as it goes along. Oo;

Anyway, aside from that I tried to spend my free working on Japanese, but Saz and Jeanine were determined to distract me by making stupid noises. *sticks tongue out at them* If it hadn't been too much effort, I SO would have gotten up to hit them, honestly. *shakes head, vaguely amused*

The very big plus about History this semester is that we are not doing the Church. YES. I hate studying the history of the Christian Church. It is so MIND-NUMBINGLY BORING. *shudder* There are all SORTS of pluses to studying King Arthur, in fact. Like going on an excursion to see the movie on Tuesday, for example. And oh, say, the fact we get to watch Monty Python and the Holy Grail in class at some point. MWAHAHAHAHAH. *smug* We also get to watch this documentary with really funny wanky special effects of castles shimmering into being and Richard Harris saying repeatedly, "When *I* played King Arthur in Camelot..." *g* Yep, definitely looking up, there.

And then I had a double free, so of COURSE I went home. Bwahah. I love my frees so very much. Because I am a nerd I did some Japanese. But THEN I was trawling LJ and ended up joining seixsub and starting to write (against my better judgement, since I'd already written 20000 words in the past week. *dies*) crackfic for the challenge. That was my geekery for the day! And I went to dance, so that was my exercise too. Oh! And I was of course translating woodstock_21's gay manga of gay! *dances* IT WAS A SWEET SCENE YAY.

Anyway, now we approach today and those reasons for why I am Incredibly Stupid Smart. Since term started last Tuesday, I have gone to bed past midnight every night. Mostly because I go to my ROOM at midnight, and then start doing my homework. Which works. For a given value of working, that is. One that doesn't take into account the fact that people have begun asking me rather regularly if I'm okay. *contemplates this* Hm. I must look as tired as I feel after all.

So anyway, I felt rather like shit this morning- headache, stomach-ache, utterly exhausted, blah-di-blah- and was considering going "oh fuck all this" and staying home sick. I only had one academic class, yet I was supposed to be there for four periods. *twitch* I stayed for the Maths Competition. I stayed for House Meetings. And then I should have had Maths and PE, which... no. Just no. Maths is frustrating in the fact that I enjoy the actual work but I get really bored at the pace in class, PLUS the fact I had just had the comp, and I felt sick. And I had PE afterwards, which until last tuesday was a FREEEEEEEE. A triple FREEEEEEEEE. *laments* I saw the next two periods stretching away in front of me and it made me want to cry, so at this point I really DID go "oh fuck all this", and went down to my maths classroom to inform my maths teacher that I was Teh Sick and going home now. And Mr Joyce was like just one period? and I was like *looks miserable* so he'd said he'd email me what we did in class and. Um. I haven't done it yet.

But I had work tonight! <- excuse. Yes, I know I was home for 5 hours before work thanks to leaving early. Shh. I was writing crackfic. Which reminds me! I have new friends! JOY. *waves to etrangere, graymm and yumeminouta* Sorry you caught me on such a boring entry, guys. ^^; Connected to this, apparently seixsub appreciated my crack fic, which I will eventually post to insaneidiot when I get my lazy act together but for now is here. *HAPPY*

OH! And I got a payrise- the award went up! YES. It was quiet tonight, too. There was apple desert pastry things in the staff kitchen left over from a morning tea with some other medical lot and I spent most of the evening playing solotaire and minesweeper. I bitch because the thought of being obliged to go out every Thursday bites at my laziness, not because I don't have the best job for a teenager in the world. *g*

... my glands have swollen up, and I still have to do that homework. Something has got to give, and it will so be my sleep and then my health. Woe! I am so dumb smart. *mopes at own idiocy*

*waves back*

You study Hoky Grail in class ? O_O I envy you !
Congrat on the payrise and good luck with the schoolwork. I'm always doing the same thing with mine... oh i'll do it tonight, oh, I'll do it on the morning, and on, and on >_< ... and often end up not doing it at all. :(

[tammaiya.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm doing Medieval History, and this term we're studying King Arthur and if he was real or not. And as part of that, we get to watch Holy Grail. And not actually study it for this is history and not english! Mwohohohoho.

The scary thing is that I do end up doing the homework (which is generally not that earth-shatteringly important) and forfeit my sleep instead. Oo;

Congrats on your payraise! ^___^

And I have nothing really interesting to say at the moment, but good luck with all your work. Sometmes, being under pressure gives the most awesome end results (and sometimes you just mentally die, but it looks like you're doing really well so I don't think we have to worry about that). I do hope you feel better, however. *hugs*

[tammaiya.livejournal.com]

Thank you! ^^

I have decided this is my semester for ULTIMATE SLACKING! (...except in Japanese.) We have this beautiful system of joy that lets us discount the worst semester of 11/12, and as I'm in last semester year 12... BWAHAHAHAHA. I could completely slack off and probably still do quite well, though I could certainly do BETTER if I worked.

However I am all geeky and thus am like physically incapable of truly slacking off. The stress! Woe! ;_;

Yay for senioritis!! ^____^

And you have no idea how envious I am of you for being able to take Japanese classes. ;__; I'm at a university, and there's nothing I can take, not even from other univerisities in the area. No summer school. NO JAPANESE. *dies* Stupid Texas. *pout*

So any Japanese I want to learn, I'm teaching myself. Two summers ago it was hiragana and vocabulary, last summer it was grammar and katakana and kanji radicals, and this summer I'm actually working to read things like my favorite seiyuu's blogs. ^^;;; I'd die to be able to converse and learn in a class... *sob*

*goes back to kanji-learning*

[tammaiya.livejournal.com]

Senioritis? What an apt term. *g*

My god, I'd die if I couldn't take Japanese- it's my favourite subject. I'm determined to do a major in it at Uni next year with my non degree-specific major no matter WHAT course I do, even though my mum keeps going "BUT WHY?"

I do a lot of Japanese out of class, so I tend to know extra kanji and vocab and such. It's all skewed, though. For example, I'm probably the only person who can read passages about weapons and magic. *g*

Kanji is a bitch, yet like the masochist I am, I keep crawling back. It's a love/hate relationship, much like Subaru and Seishirou's.

... I've GOT to stop comparing everything to Sei/Su. XD

Dance? Dance? What kind of dance? ^_^ I do Irish dancing, and I'm a fanatic about that. Looks like you enjoy dancing too?

[tammaiya.livejournal.com]

Wow, really? I was going to do Irish dancing at some point when I was younger because my dad is all gungho about Irish heritage, but we never organised anything. I started contemporary instead, about two years back. ^^

[shirann.livejournal.com]

That's great! Irish is definitely worth it, though, if you ever feel like doing something else. ^_^

Aren't you glad I sat you down and made you watch X? Huh?

You shall go on to be the X Crack BNF and I shall watch in a hazy glow of pride :D

Also: AWARDWAGESOMG*HATE* I am still broke and all the other girls took the shifts for the next two weeks ;_;

[tammaiya.livejournal.com]

Yes! You know, of course, how much I love you. *g* Crack BNF, now THERE'S an interesting concept.

Gasp! Being broke is not good. Not at all. It only went up by 50c, but still. Another $2 overall. Look on the bright side, your poverty is only a temporary condition. *pat*
