"Yeah, I SHOULD be doing my HW.

I should be watching the Obama address and writing a brief paragraph about it.

I SHOULD be reading a short story for AP English.

I SHOULD be doing my AP Stats HW.

And yet... I'm here. :D

I definitely don't think i'm the only one that has something more productive to do than be here. :P

I figured it'd be nice to have a random thread about light, happy, things to get away from the negativity for awhile. So... what should you be doing right now? What happened in your daily life today? Anything interesting?

Well I had a few interesting things happen today...

1) I got my Winter Formal pictures! Yay.
2) My friend (who I talk to about T:SCC with all the time but doesn't watch it) had a CRAZY T:SCC dream! lol, it was freaking hilarious! Apparently, my friend had a dream last night where John and Cameron were in bed (not like THAT mind you). Then then woke up... and John turned into this giant crazy monster and Cameron transformed her arm into this giant wirey weapon thingy and blew him up. Yeah. :D It's probably my fault considering how much I talk about T:SCC to her! ^^
3) Swim practice was canceled! This was so awesome. There was a random power outtage midday during school, and supposedly when the power came back on, it blew up some pipes in the pool which broke the heater and the circulation in the pool!

Plus there's late start day tomorrow! YAY! "

"OMG I LOVE THAT BOOK!

I remember reading it sophomore year for extra credit. :P

Believe me, it's totally worth the effort to get through. "

"Oh, don't get me wrong, I totally love it (and I'm only 30 pages into it!). I watched the movie adaptation in History class and thought it was pretty good (minus the really crappy acting, but whatever) so when I got the chance to pick a novel to do for lit study, I thought that this book wouldn't be a bad place to start.

Sidenote: Kemmerich dying in the 2nd chapter made me, uh, tear up. >_> "

"The cool one; Mechanical Engieering."

"Ooh, what class is it Serenity? "

"Concept art

I'm not really one that draws though, I do 3D modeling more like CG (computer Graphics) If you ask me to model a person I can, draw one . . . not so much lol"

"The book IS pretty dang depressing, but it's just so good! "

"A lot of the books--and fanfiction, actually--I read and fall in love with are ones with depressing content. If a book can make me cry for weeks and weeks, that's even better. I'm weird that way, I think.

I enjoy funny stories, too. I heard that Sue Townsend was a good pick for the more humorous kind of novels, but I've never actually read one of her books. Hm.

This series called "Outlander" by Diana Gabaldon was recommended to me a year back and right now it stands as the greatest series that I have ever read, even though I'm still not finished with it. "Outlander" has like seven books and I'm only about halfway through the fifth one.

Each book has +800 pages.

The 5th book has 1300ish.

I think it's safe to say that it's going to take me a while to finish the whole thing. :("
