H-Hey guys. Remember me? I'm that girl who likes Sonic, House, Metalocalypse, Gurren Lagann, and rasslin' among many other things who has not updated since October. How are you all ヽ （´ー｀）

I've been in ultimate lurking mode for months and I cannot ascertain why. But here I am, rock you like a hurricane. Here's an update on my exciting life:

» Thanksgiving was nice. Laura, my oldest sister, visited from Houston to eat with us. I hadn't seen her in a long time. Can't wait to see her again for Christmas soon.

» Senior year is difficult, but nowhere near as difficult as junior year. I have a healthy amount of homework and studying, but I'm (usually) not stressed out of my mind like I was last year. Oh the horrors.

» My dad purchased a backup drive a few weeks ago to image everyone's drives. He knows me well; all he had to say was "2 terabytes" and I began drooling profusely. ◔ヮ◔

» My Metalocalypse obsession temporarily dimmed a few months ago, but it's back in full form now with the new season. Oh my god I love season 3 so far. It's incredible how far this show's come in terms of quality of both the animation itself and the writing.

When I first saw commercials for the show I was interested b/c of the "lol metal" premise and Brendon Small being the creator, but I honestly didn't have high hopes for it. Characters and their interactions are what I always focus on when watching shows, and I thought the characters would all be flat and two-dimensional, serving only as elements to push the music jokes along. I was so wrong.

» My rasslin' phase hasn't faded yet. I'm kind of surprised it's lasted this long; I thought it'd quietly move to the back of the line for a few months then return suddenly, but it's been pretty steady the whole year. God why am I so obsessive

tl;dr yay Thanksgiving, senior year > junior year, and I am still obsessed with unworldly things. What else is new ಠ‿ಠ

And how have you guys all been?

I'm sure most of you have seen this by now, but just in case...

Sonic at the Convenience Store.

I get a big doofy grin on my face everytime I watch this.

SOMEONE'S DYIN MY LOR-ED

Just got back from Auburn and am really exhausted but

WAR EAGLE

that is all

My DS got a little banged up today. Part of one of the hinges broke off, so the top part is a tiny bit bent. It still works perfectly fine; I can play games on it and it's only bent a little bit, so it doesn't really affect my gameplay at all.

It was my carelessness that caused it to break. I decided at the last second to bring it to school with me (which I've done in the past), so I put it in my purse this morning to play in the afternoon. I must've dropped my purse onto the ground at some point, because when I took it out after school, the damage had already been done.

So when I got in the car to leave school, I just started crying. And cried pretty much the entire way home. Why? It's so stupid. It's not like it's destroyed beyond use. And yet, even as I repeated all that to myself, I still cried. I guess...I guess I've always taken pride in being able to take good care of my possessions, and then when I do something as careless as this, it kind of kills me. Plus that DS is like one of my children. It's alive, it's standing, but the fact that it's damaged and it's my fault just hurts.

Maaaaybe it can somehow be put back together (though I doubt it). But I'll get over it. I just wanted to vent here. ._.

P.S. If anybody could help me on the whole 4chan thing (see last post), I'd really appreciate it--!

Ever since 4chan came back from maintenance, I haven't been able to access the www/orz/zp/rs servers. I flushed my DNS cache and removed all the 4chan entries from my HOSTS file, and I still can't access them. I finally sent an email to moot about it a few nights ago, and he suggested I use an alternative DNS server like OpenDNS.

So uh...I have OpenDNS now and am not sure what to do next. Any techies want to help me out? ;;

A few weeks ago my mom and I went to the grocery store, and after buying some meat the woman at the counter asked me what college I went to. She thought I was in college! That's when it hit me that I was nearly a senior. I really don't feel like one at all. When I see people who are 10-13 years old on LJ, I always want to say, "Hey, me too!" before realizing, wait, I'm 17 now. I remember when I was one of the youngest people on the PPGWorld board. I was surprised; I actually thought I'd be one of the oldest. I didn't know the show was so popular with older people. So when I became a well-known member, I felt kind of proud that I was able to connect with people despite most of them being much older than I was. Does that make any sense?

I also remember when I was one of the youngest on LJ in comparison with my friends. It's still that way, but the gap isn't quite as staggering. I have at least 3 friends on here who are close to my age. It's just funny that I still think of myself as one of the younger people on LJ when I'm pretty much in the average age range now.

[/nostalgia] |D Anyways...first week of senior year was fine. I'm sure things will kick up a notch next week, but I didn't feel like I was overloaded with work. I'll still have the occasional anxious/stressful post, but y'know, that's school.

Almost time for Smackdown now, so I am going to end this post abruptly!

Well, school tomorrow. Raw, you better be halfway decent tonight! I need it. :| Canadian crowds are very smarky, at least. I like Cena, but I find it amusing when he's booed. I think it amuses him too.

Gahhh it's too hot to go back! Why is the system like that in Alabama of all places? The schools would probably have to spend a lot less money on air conditioning if they just shifted the school schedule forward a little.

EDIT: uhhh holy FUCK. That was my favorite Raw in a long time. No movie plugging, no Legacy interference, no Chavo/Hornswoggle match, Sgt Slaughter heel turn, a decent (and angry) Cena promo, crazy Canuck crowd, and HBK/DX RETURNING HOLY FUCK YESDL;BDSH/DGKLDSJGL

And Cena/Orton team-up next week to top it off! I've wanted to see them work together again ever since they fought the Raw roster. Going to bed very satisfied (thatswhatshesaid).

A few nights ago I had a dream in which The Miz and Morrison were shopping for a new oven in an...oven store. (no really it was a store with nothing but ovens) They ended up wrecking every single one while testing them out and fled before they could be fined.

And last night I had a dream where I was at some bar/restaurant, and the table I sat at had a trumpet lying there. I picked it up in confusion and suddenly the Motor City Machineguns walked in and went "Oh, that's ours." (They share it?) So one of 'em walked onto the platform where people do karaoke and played a song for me on the trumpet. I clapped and they left, but then none other than Stephen Colbert came onto the platform and started doing random skits. I remember him wearing feathered wings at some point, but I have no recollection of what he said.

...Yeah just putting these down because I like to keep track of my dreams. Why is it that I've been having so many wrestling-related dreams in such a short time and yet I hardly ever have Sonic-related dreams? My mind is odd.

Pre-school depression has started to set in. 3 more days.

Is it bad that I'm not all that eager to see my friends again? I mean, I'll certainly enjoy seeing them, but it doesn't outweigh the fact that, well, it's school. A lot of people are going "I kind of want to go back to school to talk with everybody again" and I just...don't really feel that way.

I know I should stop moping about something as trivial as school. Sorry guys ._.
