Wow. HOW did I not know there were so many fellow nerdfighters on the Chatterbox? Hm...
Random stuff:
Someone wrote DFTBE (Don't Forget to Be Epic) on the whiteboard in my English classroom the day we were presenting our epic poems. That was cool. But I don't know who it was, because they were in the period before me. Also, when the painted they windows around the school for homecoming, my friend and I found DFTBA painted in the Photography Club's window. Yay!
On another note, I finished NaNoWriMo! Haha, beat that, you little constantly vacationing plot bunnies! MWAHAHAHA I have defeated you.
On the other hand, I'm only about halfway through my book, and it requires some major rewriting at the beginning. Because however talkative Jack is, he would not spill Tesla's entire life story to someone he'd just met.

New Fantasyland and the new version of Test Track opened today in Disney World! I'm so happy! You don't know how long I've been waiting for a Little Mermaid ride in WDW. I can't wait to ride it the next time I go. Did you know that before the ride opened, they put water from the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Attraction lagoon into its lagoon. OMG, if you look up the pictures of New Fantasyland, it looks like you're really in a fairy tale. Does someone want to give me a plane ticket to go there? Heck, I'll walk! I have to wait until 2014 to go if not.
To celebrate, I'm listening to Sorceror Radio, which is really awesome since from nine to ten WDW time (sorry, Eastern Time, I'm way too fluent in Disney speak) they play all the nighttime spectacular shows. I already heard Wishes and Fantasmic. I love Wishes and Fantasmic, but I really hope they play Baroque Hoedown or Electrical Water Pageant because I love the soundtrack to both of those.
Melody, how many miles do you live from The Magic Kingdom? You'd better get some good hiking boots!

I live near Boston. But I'll still walk!

It's amazing how much weird stuff can happen in a lunchtime of 30 minutes. We started out by laughing over a picture of one of my male friends in a dress, and ended up with me promising to write a play about all things, Oedipus. Or rather, the story of Oedipus with my friends thrown in.

Today at lunch:
Secret Santa gifting turns into a heated argument about mushrooms and LotR. Eventually, that turned into "Hiccup" hiding under the table pretending to be a turtle while I stood on the chair and announced that "THIS IS SPARTA!" Then I got yelled at to sit down.

That sounds like my seventh grade lunch table. Except we broke out in singing "I'll Make A Man Out of You" from Mulan and reciting speeches using the words from the My Little Pony Friendship is Magic theme song. I loved seventh grade...
Speaking of "I'll Make a Man Out of You", I'm using that song in my U.S. History I project to talk about the reform movements of the mid-eighteen hundreds. Blu's going to be in the music video as a student in my character's class. My character is a really strict teacher. "Let's get down to business, to learn Chap-ter eight!" Oh yeah, I'm a genius.

Whenever anybody says "Let's get down to business," all I want to be doing is defeating Huns.
Somehow, that reminds me of something I saw on Pinterest. It is basically a screenshot of Gaston in the tavern-thing when he's singing that song of his amazingness, and the caption says "No one verbs with the adjective noun like Gaston!" I sang it and laughed.

Well, today was an odd day for pronouns. I got called a "he", a "she", an "it", and, weirdest of all, a "they". (as in, "That's they're pen." Me: "What? Since when have I been two people? Last time I checked, I was still one person...")

We had a concert on Thursday, and one boy says to me, "You know those are girls' shoes." Just because I have really short hair does not mean that I am a boy. Grr.

Has anyone else gotten the flu? Because about an average of 5 people have been absent in my class per day over the past week. And then I got the flu yesterday. Nyarsh.
Sorry, Gollum. Hope you feel better soon. I got a flu shot in October.

I haven't gotten the flu. I got the flu shot, though. There's been this awful cold that's been going around my city that we've been referring to as the plague. I'm just getting over it now. I lost my voice for a few days. I couldn't sing anything in my head voice in chorus, and my nomally fairly good chest voice sounded like a dying cat. And then I was in charge of some kids at a DI meeting and I couldn't yell at them when they were getting really rowdy. I take pride in my loud voice!

I read 948 pages yesterday. Just letting you know.
(December 24, 2012 - 8:32 am)
Of what?
(December 24, 2012 - 4:32 pm)
The last 150 pages of Going Bovine. and the first two and a half Percy Jackson. Going Bovine by Libba Bray is AMAZING by the way.

Well I didn't get the flu, but I did get sick and that was just a couple days before Christmas and on Christmas day I was recovering. Needless to say it wasn't fun. I did get to finish the second book in the I Am Number Four series.
