box_of_doomDo you know what's sad?
I just made rice krispie squares for the first time, ever.
Why is this sad?
I dunno. Partially because I needed a recipe, and didn't know whether or not it mattered if I used big marshmallows or little ones, and didn't use a big enough pot, or didn't know how to flatten them out... That and the fact that Joyce has already made them too many times to count. ^^;;;
It's also sad that I've hardly started studying... but in the meantime, I have for you a bad attempt at killing exams.
A large stack of papers were lying at the front of the room. She knew what they were in an instant -- the exams. There was a moment of panic within the room, everyone feeling the imminent pressure and fear of failure. In an instant, she made up her mind. She knew what she had to do. She started towards the pile, slowly and carefully, avoiding the negative vibes it was setting off. When she reached it, she took out a single item; her trusty ballpoint pen. She held it reverently between her clasped hands, as if uttering a silent prayer. When she felt fully composed, she lifted it over her head and slammed it down into the pile. What happened next amazed everyone. The pile started oozing out an inky liquid, black as night. The pile withered as the blood-like ink kept pouring out, staining the desk as it went overtop and forming puddles on the floor. Finally, after the stack had reached a point where it was no longer able to bleed anymore, she removed her pen. The class cheered for the warrior of the classrooms, for the exams truly were dead, once and for all.
THE END
So, Jason, now you can't say that I haven't tried. :P
In Sunday School today, we were finding parallels between the Book of Mormon (and to a lesser part, the bible) and LOTR. It was hillarious. For those of you, it all started when David, our teacher, posted this picture on our bullatin board, and we noticed that the two celestial figures (who are supposed to be God and Jesus) look like a slightly older version of Vigo's interpetation of Aragorn. Of course, it doesn't help that there is a person in the early history of the Book of Mormon named Sam, and that we've managed to find parallels for Frodo (Sam's brother Nephi), the One Ring (the plates... actually, we've decided that they are what was formed when someone melted down the rest of the rings... :P), Sting (The Sword of Laban) and the "star in a bottle" as Joyce put it (the object that I forget the name of that guided Lehi's family to the "new world")...
For the record, I am not Mormon. I am a member of the Community of Christ. There are some simmilarities, but probably more differences.
I was coughing all through the service today... -_- I think I may be allergic to something... mom suggested I try sitting elsewhere and see if that helps. *sigh*
Sinse it was Father's Day, I was very suprised that "God of our Fathers" was not a hymn sung. Disappinted too. However, Doreen seemed to be on the same wavelength as me, 'cause guess what the procession song was! *giggles* That song is so awesome. Its better sung a capella than with accompaniment though... cause that way you get to do the trumpet part, which is exactly what makes the song a) fun, and b) perfect to use to wake up unsuspecting campers. Hense why it is a favourite among all of us Norontonians.
Now, onto non-religious things.
Exams are this week. In-class is tomorrow, but I don't have any. On the contrary, I have a pizza party! *grins*
I can't believe that it'll be the last time I'll ever see some people. That's just...
I'm going to miss everyone so much. KEEP IN TOUCH GUYS! I LOVE YOU ALL!
I'm going to have to do a ton of studying over the week. Not that I really need it perse... I need to get a good mark on my French exam, but it's multiple choice grammar and then an essay, so I'm not worried about it at all. I am more worried at how I will do on the other two, but I don't require to do particularily well in them, because as long as I do well in French, I'll have my top 6 marks averaging out to (hopefully) 90+. I already know I'm gonna get a high 60/low 70 in Calc (bad for me, but I don't care), and high 70/low 80 in chem (my general "low mark" area...).
I need to choose what courses I'm going to take next year. I already know some for certain, 'cause I need them for either co-op or drama. I'm thinking of trying out for the choir courses, but they're in the late afternoon/early evening, so I'll have to make sure I'm fine for getting rides home. Still, I would like to do that, 'cause I wanna keep singing. Plus, I have to do either a double major or a specialist because of co-op (which is sad, 'cause I wanted to do a religion minor, which I still could do, but that would leave me with next to no elective courses), and so either a double major in drama and music or a specialist in visual and performing arts (I think it's called arts and culture or something, but it basically involves a drama major and then taking courses in other arts area(s), AKA MUSIC!) would be the choices that would be natural for me to choose. They are my two passions afterall.
Does anyone else have any suggestions on what I should do?
Anyway... yeah. I still can't believe that I'm almost done highschool. It really does scare/sadden me. Not because I want to keep on doing schoolwork... I'm glad that that's over... I just don't want to leave the people. I'm just too sentimental, and I know it.
[EDIT]
A few people I know have a tendancy to write really depressing things on their ljs, angsting about how things are going badly for them, and they want to die. I'm not saying that there is anythong wrong than that. People are allowed to be depressed after all, and can express their feelings. In fact, I like listening to people's problems oftentimes, as weird as that sounds. *blames her maternal instincts*
So... why am I writing this?
The thing that always gets to me with those is that... I have no way to respond. I want to be there for whoever's writing the post. I want to try to help them feel better.
I know, however, that saying "feel happier" really doesn't help that much. Neither does *hugs*. I don't know what else I can do though.
The fact that they often seem to be thinking of suicide scares me too. I want them to be happier with life, and not to think about that. There was a period about a year and a half ago where I kept on scaring myself by seeing different ways that I could commit suicide because I was wondering if anyone would really care if I died. I'm over that now (though I do feel insignificant oftentimes, but let's not go there right now...). I'm afraid of death, and so just the thought of that both frightened and saddened me, and hearing other people talk of taking their own lives does the same thing.
Why can't it just be easier to make everything better?
Anyways, I should go andwaste my time in other ways study now... ^^;

Your power is: The ability to fly
Explanation: This powers speaks pretty
much for itself. Though you don't need wings
for this power,you can fly anyway. Some people
may consider it as telekinesis since they can
also fly, but you can't make material things
move like they can. This ability could be a
relaxing activity when you want to get away
from everyday troubles. Also it is good when
sneaking upon an enemy since it makes no sound.
When going over to the "dark side"
the power could be used to harrass and break
into building through windows etc.
You are quite similar to this power since you
like to have your head in the clouds.
Supernatural things amuse while ordinary life
does not. If your daydreaming has gotten a
little too far you might be zooned out all the
time, even when you are having a conversation.
Your desires and/or goals tend to be
unrealistic even if you know those would
probably never happen. Travelling is something
you would be interested in doing since seeing
exotic scenery fits with your fantasies of
escaping your plain life. You can also have
some creative ability (writer, playing an
instrumen etc) that interests you.
Negative aspects: The whole reason you
may be escaping life could be fear of being let
down by it. So if that would come to happen,
and an important dream had been crushed you
could get depressed.
