Hello people!
Oh, what a Hellish invention the alarm clock is. Whoever came up with the idea must've been a real busy-body - and a doucheface - to subject us to that kind of torture at 4, 5, 6 AM every morning. Perhaps an insomniac made it. He was bored every night so he invented something to wake up other people while it was still dark out so he wouldn't be alone. And then he laughed and laughed and laughed.
I slept great last night, to my dismay. Honestly, I'd rather sleep terribly during the week and wake up before my alarm, than sleep wonderfully and wake up to my alarm. Being awoken from a deep sleep to the static-y sounds of classic 80s rock and the noisy morning DJs is worse than sleeping like shit. I speak from experience.
I was going to do actual photo work in photo today, but everyone else had the same intentions and made it to the dark room before me. They took up every single machine back there, so I had no choice but to stay in the main room and work on something else. I did homework. I totally spaced on an AP assignment, so I got it done ASAP(and totally didn't read whatever it was we were sposed to).
In math, we went over homework. We have a no calculator quiz tomorrow. I've said it before, I'll say it again: we have calculators for a reason. No calculator quizzes are one of the douchiest things ever. They make me wanna strangle someone, usually the teacher, occasionally random by-standers. We had to listen to our student teacher/observer guy babble on about campaign finance shit in AP Gov. SO BORING. I think I flat-lined for a minute or two.
Seriously, I almost fell asleep, like, four times all period. He kinda droned on and on and the topic wasn't very interesting and the lights were out. Natural reaction: sleep. I managed to stay awake, though. In forensics, we watched two Forensic Files. One of them, I'd seen before, the other I had not; the latter was about the Zodiac killer copycat in New York City. It was so fucking interesting.
I didn't really know much about the Zodiac killer, so it was really really intriguing. And I think the most intriguing part is the fourth encrypted letter that they have yet to figure out. It's all so fascinating to me. Moving on. MindCandy was another free day for me cuz I wanted to eat my lunch and Ms. Dewey said she had a LOT of work to do and I'm helpless with the Macs, so I didn't wanna add a shitload more for her to do.
*playing the pseudo-sympathy card* ;D We chatted and laughed and such and it was quite fun, as usual. Oh, I wore my new glasses today and only one person even noticed, lol. Well, okay, I'm sure everyone noticed, but only one person said something. Oh, well, lol. I read about 40 pages of "Holidays On Ice" by David Sedaris, of course.
He's hysterical! I can't believe I've only just started reading his stuff, but yeah, he's really funny. The title of this post is from the first chapter, called the "SantaLand Diaries." He's working as an Elf at this SantaLand thing in Macy's and it's utterly hilarious, I'm gonna give you the snippet:
It's called the ADFGX code. It's insanely difficult and you have to know the keyword to decipher it and it's SO awesome. I coded and de-coded a sentence just to see if I could make it through the whole process forward and backwards (which I did). It's so fucking cool. I wish I could learn this stuff in school. What class in college might teach this kind of thing? Nothing, probably.
Wouldn't it be absolutely amazing if we could just pick and choose exactly what we wanted to learn and then learn it? Like, we design our own custom classes and that's what we're taught. That would be so bombin. *contemplates* ...Ugly Betty and LA Ink are new tonight, but alas, Supernatural is on hiatus. *tears* Oh, well, I will manage somehow, lol.
It's Thursday! :D

There was a line for Santa and a line for the women's bathroom, and one woman, after asking me a dozen questions already, asked, "Which is the line for the women's bathroom?" I shouted that I thought it was the line with all the women in it.I still find that endlessly entertaining. Anywho, mom picked me up and we came home. I got yelled at for not working on college essays, then she left for an appointment and forgot about everything. Moohaha. XD I basically chilled online. Oh, I looked up some cipher stuff cuz after the Zodiac thing, I was still immensely intrigued. I found this really awesome one invented by the Germans (of course).
She said, "I'm going to have you fired."
I had two people say that to me today, "I'm going to have you fired." Go ahead, be my guest. I'm wearing a green velvet costume, it doesn't get any worse than this. Who do these people think they are?
"I'm going to have you fired!" and I wanted to lean over and say, "I'm going to have you killed."
