Mmm...peppermint cake.

Title says it all.

Also, I have had two unexpected free periods today, and it appears that I may have a third.

This is not a good keyboard.

*****

Now that said free period has arrived, I've got 30 minutes before I need to head to Spanish and no homework to do. Let's talk.

Let's talk about the day so far.

Math: Some more review and filled out course evaluations.

Bio: The same. My answer to one of the questions: "Carbonill! Carbonyl! However you pronounce it! Letter A! Number A! I'm still asleep!" But I got it right, and that's what counts. Filled out the evaluation in a New York thug "accent." Why? I felt like it for some reason.

Morning Meeting: A few announcements, including a promise to blow up pop tarts in the near future. Then some free time. In the not-so-near future, they might even blow up black powder-laced pop tarts.

C: Freedom!

D: Freedom!

Lunch: Burrito (why don't they have cheese? Why?) and a piece of said peppermint cake. Watched a chain reaction project put on by the applied sciences class. It didn't work very well.

Drama: I'm writing this now.

Spanish: Yet to come. Probably review for the final.

Frisbee: I forsee today being mildly slippery, but not so much that running becomes dangerous. A few people will fall once or twice.

Casting Meeting: PLEASE give us our roles today!!!

I still have 20 minutes. Let's write a stream of thought.

Looking at a painting. Sick, stoned leaf? Why do artists anthropomorphize plants? Calvin uses the word "anthropomorphize" in one of his comic strips. His mother is cutting up an onion. I cut up some onions to make dolmas once. I love dolmas. That batch came out quite lemony. I like lemons. Others say, "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade." I say, "When life gives you lemons, say thanks and suck them dry." Like a vampire. I recently got a pdf about vampires. For D&D of course. Accidentally turned of "stickykeys" just now, whatever that is. Made an odd sound as the window popped up. I have never used "stickykeys." I am not very tech savvy. I am tech semi-literate. I'm probably making a lot of typos. I'll fix them later. Let's try to explore some new territory. Not that one can choose where one goes in a stream of thought. Like the transition from lemons to vampires. Surreal, like the transition from life to death. That's a line from a fantasy novel I read once. I'm typing rather quickly right now considering my style. I'm probably...I said that already. Let's talk. Die stickykeys, die! I wrote , "DIE! DIE! DIE!" on my bio homework, but I'm not referring to the homework or my teacher. I was referring to an empty box that had no purpose, I wanted the empty space gone, to die, as it were, and so I filled it up with DIE! DIE! DIE! I may have gotten that from my old geometry teacher. She was always "killing" things in class. She's awesome. I still have 15 minutes left. Can I keep this up the whole time? The longest such stream I've written before was the 15-minute one early on. The next one after that would be a 10-minute stream on loyalty I had to write for the Saturday acting class. We give our final presentation this coming Saturday. The three pictures plus various scenes and compositions. I'm glad we're keeping the kinesthetic response in the presentation. It's fun, and it's enjoyable to watch. My back feels slightly uncomfortable right now. So does a certain spot on my left hand. Gone now. Could it have been the product of a fevered mind? No. But that was fun to write. Such as when I said to Red Delicious, "On your knees, whelp!" e promptly dropped to his knees. I walked away saying, "That's better" in a somewhat Palpatine-esque voice. Esque. Basque. Are Chechens now licensed? Are Basques? That was a line from the Iraq War Project. Time to go back and fix all my many typos. I'm ending the stream now.

7 minutes left. I'm going to give that^ block of gibberish a title. One appropriately random.

"Running through a cornfield as my ears spit fire."

Too long.

"Finding one's own hot dog."

Something not quite right.

"Sugar and paint"

Why not?

Why am I even worrying about what title to give a stream of consciousness that covers subjects ranging from lemons to Basques to writing DIE! DIE! DIE! on my bio homework. Which reminds me: my bio teacher said that anything else I write today he would not take entirely seriously. That was *after* I started filling out the course evaluation (which he will not see for weeks) in the fashion I did. Go back to the top to read bout that.

1 minute left. I will sign off in the manner of Ernst Stravo Blofeld...

"Good-bye, Mr. Bond!"

Last day of school

Really this is the last day of classes. Study day and finals are still to come. I only have four finals intead of six! HA!

Bleah. Vacation approaches and I can tell I'm coming down with something. But it will have no effect on me, for Peter is strong like bear! *pounds chest*

*COUGH COUGH HACK COUGH* *wheeze* No more chest pounding for me.

Odd dreams

1. My mom gave me a few dollars to bet on the horse races. In one race I won over 400 dollars, and the odds weren't even very long.

2. While driving home on the freeway we got a hop-on. He slid off after a bit.

3. For some other reason I recieved what I thought was a 20-dollar bill, although it turned out to be a 30-dollar bill. When I turned it over and got a closer look it was a 50-dollar bill. I tuned it over again and now it was a $100 bill. As I kept turning it over it grew to $200, $300, $400, and finally $500.

4. I had another in a string of Legend of Zelda-related dreams that has now become quite long. A lot of them feature a forested cave with ReDeads, but it's never quite the same each time. I have to wonder why LoZ is becoming such a regular feature of my dreams. Probably caused by anticipation of Twilight Princess (Preordered and it releases tomorrow! Mehehehehe!)

5. Just remembered: I also had a dream last night where I was Darth Vader fighting the Emperor (yes, I am a GEEK), but each of us was so strong in the Force that neither could kill the other. I would blast the emperor with Sith lightning and put my lightsaber through his head, but he would heal in seconds. He would telekinetically crush me into Vader mush, but my body would just put itself back together. It was quite odd.

I had a very full night.

Today's events being nutshelled in nature

I do not have much time, so I will not go into much detail.

Morning/Afternoon: Finally returned to acting class! Yay! Rehearsed scenes with Squeak and Presence. We also recruited Eloquent, who had come to see our work today, to help us out in places. My hand crushed many a styrofoam bowl. Went out with Venetians to a nearby cafe and had lunch. Gave rides to Impulse, Ridiculously Cute, and Presence. Got lost on the streets. Got in maternal trouble for not giving much thought as to what she would be doing during the proposed hour of Venetian socializing.

Evening: Went to see Strident in The Two Gentlemen of Verona. Got there late. Saw Eloquent also there. At intermission, Eloquent and I spent many happy minutes rendering the English language rather mangled in nature. Saw the rest of the play. Enjoyed it muchly. Afterward, munched truffles while we spent some time talking with Strident. Gave Eloquent a ride home. Decided that Eloquent and Poppet really need to meet sometime soon. You two would hit it off quite perfectly in nature.

My signing is somewhat off in nature.

The Nutcracker

It was wonderful! I've seen The Nutcracker once before, but I was too young to get anything out of it. Everything played the part of Clara. *applauds* Strident, Penguin, and Eloquent also came to see it. During the intermission, Penguin noted that "ballet is not the most effective way to deploy your troops."

Fantasia has spoiled me in regards to the music. I would be watching the various sweets go through their dances and suddenly think, "Hey! You can't be dancing to the fish music yet! The mushrooms haven't done their piece! What? NOW you're getting to the flowers? Huh. Dancing snowflakes!? But there are pieces you haven't done yet! And WHEN are the fairies going to get their turn? They should have come first!" Stupid Walt Disney to mix up the segments and make me confused 66 years later.

After the ballet was over Eloquent, Strident, and Penguin, and I talked outside cowering under an awning (the rain being rather plummeting in nature) until Everything passed. Then she joined us. We then met up with some friends of Everything and Strident and included them in our conversations. I was finally forced to leave and got lost for a few minutes. At least it was only raining lightly.

Quick update

Before I go to bed, I will draw your attention to the fourth on my link list: Strident's poetry blog.

Got it? Good. Now sleep.

Even the dead like to have presents

Continuing my habits of morbid writing and of tweaking songs I have now given the necromancer treatment to The Twelve Days of Christmas. You had better appreciate this; I spent a whole 20 minutes on it!
