Ask me anything!

Yes, I've gotten myself a Formspring.

You may now ask me any question you'd like, completely anonymous. And I'll most likely answer it. If you've always wanted to ask me a question, but never got the chance, well, here's your chance.

It's curtains for you!

Lacy, gently wafting curtains...


I'm thinking of rewatching Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog this afternoon, so I'm listening to the music while I do my laundry. I was singing "Freeze Ray" aloud earlier, just because of the first line ("Laundry day, see you there, under things tumbling) and because the setting is in the laundromat. It's weird how the mind works, isn't it? Doing laundry makes me want to watch a movie, ha.

Anyway, this is going to be a fairly short post, as I haven't been up to anything exciting.

First things first: Brawl.

So, as I mentioned here a week or so back, I've started to talking to Crim, Argol, Suichi, Angie, and all of them again, and we're having a Brawl tourney sometime next month.
Well, I'm not exactly the best player at Brawl. I mean, I hardly ever shield, I have trouble dodging, and I rely too much on my smashes. -__-;
But nonetheless, I'm entering the tourney. So I'm going to need to be practising. I think I'm probably going to enter as Snake, since I seem to be the best with him.

To test my school's connection, though, I had a few matches with Angie last night. The connection was surprisingly good, no lag whatsoever. We played probably close to 20 matches, and she slaughtered me. ;____;
Seriously, I only won one match. (And even then, it was close!)

So.... yeah. I need practice.


And now, I must move my laundry from the washer to the drier. Joy!

Team Edward and Team Jacob are *so* last year...

There is a new team to root for...

Team David Hale.

Need I say more? If you have a Facebook, you should become a fan.

Also, it appears that the Night of the Great Shuffle is over, because my iTunes has gone back to its typical "Meh" attitude when it comes to selecting songs. It was short lived, but an amazing experience. I hope it happens again soon.

That's about all I have today. Later.

The Night of Great Shuffle

Tonight is the night.

The night that the Shuffle Function on iTunes selects nothing but the best music.

To demonstrate my point, I will show you all the songs mine has played:

I selected "Jennifer B" - Andrew Pants
It then went to:

"Existentialism on Prom Night" - Straylight Run
"Madi Don't Leave" - Playradioplay
"Here (In Your Arms)" - Hellogoodbye
"In The Morning And Amazing..." - Circa Survive
"This Love" - Maroon 5
"Working Class Hero" - John Lennon
"What You Get" - The Damnwells
"Hold It In" - Jukebox the Ghost
"Far Away" - Ingrid Michaelson
"Six Feet From The Edge" - Creed
"The Curse of Curves" - Cute Is What We Aim For

And then I turned it off, because I need to go to sleep. But I figured I'd need to spread the word of this awesome event.
Also, it was happening to Emily, too, so it's not just a freak accident. You should try it out, too. I don't know how long this will last.

Goodnight, world, and may your shuffle function treat you right.

A few things.

Just a few things, really. Should be a fairly short post.

So, last night I realised how much I hate fire alarms. It was about 10:00, and I was planning on going to bed early. I'd had a rough afternoon and was tired. So I shower, get in bed... and the alarm goes off.
I have to get dressed again and go outside (and I forgot to bring my phone. D: ) and wait around for a bit. I don't even think there was an actual fire, but it wasn't a drill, because they had people go in and we weren't allowed to enter again for about forty minutes. Blech.


Also, today, I realised something about coffee shops that aren't named "Coffee Loft."
I learned that their baristas are idiots.

One of my favourite drinks for a hot day is an iced coffee (with milk) with a shot of Hazelnut in it. It's not a hard concept: You get a cup, put a shot of Hazelnut flavouring in the cup, then add some ice, pour some iced coffee in there, then add a little bit of milk. It's extremely simple. Yet, EVERY TIME I try to order it (except for at Coffee Loft) they manage to screw it up. Whether they forget the milk (which isn't too bad) to confusing it with an Iced Caramel Macciato (I don't even know how they came to that) to forgetting the flavour shot, NO PLACE I'VE BEEN TOO CAN DO SOMETHING AS EASY AS MIXING THREE LIQUIDS IN A CUP. I honestly don't get it.
Pisses me off.

Also, look what I taught myself how to play this afternoon:



Wooooooo.


So yeah, that's about it.

The right way to start the day.

Going over to Krispy Kreme while the earth is still dark and the doughnuts are still steaming.

This will be a good day.

The colour of infinity inside an empty glass...

Whew. It's been a busy few days.

A few things to talk about tonight. First on my agenda will be school.
I have a relatively light courseload this semester (Only 13 hours ;__;),so I have a lot of free time to practice (Which I really need to get into the habit of doing) and to relax and play some video games. But more on this later.

My classes aren't too bad, really:

How much I like it: 6/10
-Anthropology 101: MWF 11:00
How much I like it: 5/10

How much I like it: ?/10*

*I haven't had this one yet, so I can't judge


Anyway, those are all of my classes. Like I said, a fairly light load. Most of my teachers seem to be alright, so that's good.

You may have seen above that I said I've had more room for practising and playing video games. Which is true. Over the past few days, I've gotten back into Mario Kart, and I've been playing online for a while each night. I've mostly just played with Vaati or on random Worldwide VS Races, but it's been fun. Stuck at about 8500VR, though. >:|

I recently talked to Argol online again, and he gave me the link for a chat that has a lot of my old friends from when I was a member of the Semi-Pros. So, it's been nice talking to Crim and others again. :D

Also, voice chatting. I want. For some reason, I just got the urge to get into voice/video chatting again. Which means I'll need to pick up a webcam. Those are only like $20, right? >___>
Either way, I'm going to be getting one soon. I really don't know where the urge came from, but it'll be fun. :D
And I'll be able to talk to friends while I'm playing Mario Kart, instead of saying one or two sentences between races. Or use it to talk -during- races, even!

Sigh, I need to get my mind off of Mario Kart. Seriously.



And now, for something completely different.

There are a few things coming up. First and foremost, not this weekend, but the weekend AFTER is Trombone Day, which is kind of a big deal. And it's an even bigger deal for me, because I'll be getting my new Bass Trombone! :D
You don't know how excited I am.

Also, in a few more weeks, I'll be coming home again for Mardi Gras. I'll leave school after classes on the 12th, spend all of the 13th helping with and playing the the K.O.M.M. Parade down in Point Clear, and then I don't really know what I'll be doing on Valentine's Day. Rin won't be in town. Sigh.
And then I have the 15th and 16th off, too, so I'll be hanging out with friends and such. There are a few people I haven't seen in ages that I -really- hope I can spend time with.

And I think that's about it for tonight. I've been thinking a lot recently and I need to stop. Thinking about feelings. Blech. No good can come of this.
Goodnight, all.
