Thanks to these kind folks, I now own a Canon Power Shot A510 Digital Camera! wheeee! :D (...those are my parents, btw. Not two random people who bought me a digital camera. That would be totally awesome, though.) When we went to the place, they didn't even have the $80, and when we asked for the $100, the guy working there was all "No! Don't get that! It sucks! The zoom is really crappy, you don't want that." And I looked at the zoom on it, and it was crappy. I thought then that it was over, that I wouldn't be able to get one, but then I somehow managed to convince my parents (with the help of the nice person working there) to get a $200 one. I promised to do the bird cages for as long as my mom wants this summer to make up for the fact that it was a lot more expensive than I promised.

Wheeeee. :D I am quite happy right now. One last picture:

That would be the corner of my room, because I think it looks cool. the pictures on both walls and the ceiling combine and it looks really cool, in my opinion (...and that's really all that matters, because I'm the one that spends the majority of my day here). Well, the thing that was on the right wall, in the left-hand corner, was this long really awesome article on the state of punk and it talks about Green Day and other bands a bunch, and I taped it up all there, but it was heavy and fell behind my bed (um, several months ago. Yeah, I'm lazy). The rest of the room doesn't look as cool, though, because there are loads of blank spots. Planning on redoing it one day this summer, though. Maybe Friday if I've finished reading all the Harry Potter books (seems likely: I have less than 100 for the fourth, and I'll have plenty of time to read the fifth tomorrow and Thursday).

...yeah, that's it. Ah, this makes me so happy. :D Expect a lot of random pictures from me, from now on.

So anyways, I was feeling kind of bad about my SAT diagnostic test scores, but it turns out that everyone in my class did worse on the reading. There was an average drop of 30-40 points, and I dropped 50, so it's not too terrible in comparison to everyone else. And I also found that I was the only person to get a 12 in the class, so that made me feel better about myself. Plus, our instructor asked us if there was any disruption during the test and we said that the 24 hour fitness below us was playing music so loud we could hear it, and also the timer that told us when each section was over and the 10 and 5 min marks kept beeping randomly, so we'd think the section was over when it wasn't. He said that could've contributed to the drop because it messed with our concentration.

Wow, only 4 days until the new Harry Potter book. I'm actually getting really excited for it, which is surprising. I usually don't look forward to the new Harry Potter books that much, but this time I am.

Ok, off to finish book 4.

Aww, your parents are so cute!

Wow; that corner makes me dizzy! Amazing you can sleep like that! I'm a bit neurotic.

Heh, thank you. :D

And yeah, I suppose my walls are a bit... busy. But I love them. Besides, my eyes are horrible (I wear contacts), so when I go to bed, everything is blurry anyways.

oi. Me too xD

I mean, the contacts thing. When I go to bed I don't see how messed up my room is. (Thank god, because my room is messed up alot of the time. heh)

Heh, yeah, I know. I have posters on my ceiling, and my friend asked me if they freaked me out, with all the people, I guess, staring back at me, but... I mean, it's not like I see them. It's just a bunch of blurry stuff.

The only picture I have up is my Johnny Depp: Captin jack sparrow poster. And it definitely doesn't freak me out that he's staring at me xD

-cough- But yeah, my eye sight is horrible. Without the contacts I'd be blind.

Oh, I know, my eyesight sucks. I've had to wear glasses/contacts since I was 6, and my eyes have gotten progressively worse since then.

I'm blind without my glasses and contacts too. So I guess I understand. :D

Yay for digital cameras! I just got one this year myself, and they're loooads of fun. Especially on college drunk nights hehe

I'm also looking forward to the new HP book. Something tells me it will be even better than the last.

Hee, yes, digital cameras are quite fun. I think I'll be making good use of this.

Yeah, I think it's going to be really awesome. In any case, I hope it will be.

Well we've waited long enough for this installment, it better be good heh

I also figure since it's nearing the end it'll get juicier and more mature aka more sex/teen angst/death

Heh, that's true. And yeah, it definitely has been getting more mature as the series has continued, so I'd think that this one would be even more mature. Should be awesome.

Yeah...sometimes I feel a little old reading HP being 19 and all, so I'm looking forward to more maturity :)

Yeah, I know what you mean. Well, I'm only 16, but when I reread the first book, I feel a little old reading it. Especially since the first time I read it, I was about 9 or 10, so reading it again reminds me of being that old. But the fourth and fifth definitely got far more mature than the one's preceeding them, so I would be surprised if the sixth and seventh become more mature as well. And it makes sense that they would do that, as Harry was 11 when the series started and will be 16 in the next book; as he matures, the books do, too.

Yay, congrats on the camera! Now you can do that photo meme thingy. :D

Thank you! :D And heh, yes I can. That was actually one of the first things that crossed my mind when I got it.

Oh!!!

I thought you were dead after seeing your writing journal all neglected and unposted!!!

Have you given up fics... for good?!

All My Love,

Fell

Heh, nope, I'm still very much alive. I wouldn't say I've given them up for good, but I don't see myself writing anything anytime soon. I just don't have any inspiration anymore. I tried writing some stuff last fall, but it all turned out really horrible, and I couldn't bring myself to post it. For right now, I don't plan on writing anything, but that isn't to say I never will.

Aww, boo.

Well I'm glad to still have you around.
Make sure to let me know if you ever get inspiration.

Add me?

Love

Fell

Heh, I'll definitely let you know if I get inspiration. And of course I'll add you. :)

What exactly is your icon? It fascinates me.

It's a shot of Wallace and Veronica from the show Veronica Mars. If you haven't seen it before, you should definitely check it out, as it's absolutely amazing. One of the best shows on television.

Oh woohoo Great job on the Camera that rocks so much, maybe you should be a salesperson hehe.
Oh wow sucks aboutthe SAT being Disrupted and stuff but it sounds liek you did ok anyways.
WOW you read fast Crazyness, i am so slow

Heh, thank you. :D And yeah, I know, I read really fast.

LOVE the quality. Great camera. <3

I like that corner of your bedroom! XD I will do that one day. I'll wait till we move, and fill it up with Johnny Depp and Ewan McGregor. <3

Yeah, the quality rocks. And this is after it's already been resized. The camera saved the pictures at this huge size (2048x1536). I made the size a lot smaller, and the quality is still just as good. I love this camera. :D

Thank you! And heh, sounds awesome. :D I plan on redoing the walls sometime soon so the rest of my room is as busy as that corner. In the rest of the room, there are a lot of blank spots that bug me right now.

Pretty pictures. I thought those people looked familiar ;).

Nice wall. Mine's like that too. Slightly.

Eww, SAT class. Sigh.

Haha, nice. rar I want to redo my walls, though. Friday is the plan, but I don't think I could do it all in one day, and then Saturday I should be getting the new Harry Potter, so I know what I'll be doing all day then. blah.

Eh, SAT class isn't too bad, because my teacher is amusing and nice. But the tests? Those are ew. I hate diagnostic tests. So long and boring and I just don't care after the first 3 or 4 questions.

Dude. I hate my SAT math teacher. He won't admit it when he's wrong, and when I try to reason with him, he can't understand what I'm saying. And then ten minutes later, he goes "Oh, I guess that is the answer." And then he pretends like he arrived at it, instead of having to have me like try to explain it for ten minutes.

FJdsla;jfsldfjlkasgfj fucking idiot.

Awwwwwwww :( Mine does make mistakes (actually, today he made loads. He kept saying "...I really cannot think today."), but... they're like stupid tiny mistakes and we point them out and he's all "lksdjf DUH! Thank you. x___x" I actually think I got the best teacher, since there are two others, and one is like... he has a lot more fun with his class, like things are more lax, but then they don't learn as much, and the other is super strict and so they learn a lot, but they don't have much fun. For me, we have fun, and we learn a lot. Best of both worlds!

Haha. Princeton Review sounds so awesome right now. But whatever..math isn't really my priority anyway. I suck more at critical reading.

Princeton Review is awesome. And they devote an equal time to everything. And they've really helped me get my essays dialled down. They also present a lot of good techniques for the Critical Reading (except, I didn't really use any, so I dropped in my reading score. Oh well).
