I got this from Christina. Blame the fair skinned brunette.

I love Zelda. Have you *seen* the new trailer for the new Zelda game? O.O

Here are pictures: ^_^

And here is the trailer and he looks so beautiful ;_;

Yes. End fangirl moment. Back to work.

Btw, my iPod ("pie-pod") likes me. :>

OMG, what the hell did Andrew post on my blog? o.O; And then there's Victor talking about the Amish.. ._. And does "Hey, who's the prince here? Yeah, that's right" qualify as an insult? Because if it does, Andrew already lost Sarah's bet :P

The sad thing is, the abominable song Andrew posted? I know it by heart. >.>;

Well, tomorrow is the AP US History Test, and I really can't sleep. Go figure. ^_^ I just took a practice test in my Baron's book, though (only thing I ever used it for), and I missed about.. five? Wouldn't it be nice if that was how I did in Calculus? Sigh. I didn't study, because I kept hearing Thomson's voice echoing... "Young Jedi, you know more than you think you dooooo..."

Occasionally, Thomson even talks like Yoda. You know, reversal of sentences, while he's lecturing. Wheee.

Two AP's left. I'm hoping for a 5 on AP US; if I don't get one, I just might shoot myself. Hoping to pass Calculus with a 3. I'm positive I got at least a 4 on Comp Sci, am just hoping for a 5... same for English. Normally I'd be a bit more confident, but I think I screwed myself on the essay asking for contrasts between Mexico and California. "Errr, one's Much Ado About Nothing and the other is Hamlet?" is about as close as I got. (You won't understand that unless you read the passage.)

Today's pet peeve: People talking about how they can't *wait* until Emma Watson (who is what, fourteen years old?) is at the legal age of consent. And talking about how she's going to be "smokin'" and "fine" and what not. EW. -_-; Additionally, I read somewhere that the Olsen twins have been marketed as Lolitas since they were very young. EW EW EW. I understand our country has an obsession with sex. But can it please be limited to people who are eighteen and above? ICK.

Odd moment of the day: when I signed onto AIM today, it flashed the following headline: "Women Held as Sex Slaves 3 Years". The odd part? It's termed as "BREAKING NEWS".

Beautiful e-mail that came today:
"Ship Date: 05/05/04"

My iPod has been shipped XD I'm so glad, because I kept hearing things about delays and "high demand". I ordered a 15 gig iPod, and it's quite nice. apple.com is doing some weird free engraving thing, so I got that too ^^ Why not? Although you can't return an engraved iPod, which is my guess as to why they offer it free (so as to cut down on returns). My guess is I'll recieve it sometime around.. Monday? Tuesday? Or maybe even Wednesday, but I hope not.

I am such a whore. That is, a news.google.com whore. It's a weird thing. I keep up with a ton of news that way, though, so I figure it's normal to check it more than five times a day. Right? That's a random fact for you today.

I want a video game. When I was out shopping with Stacy, I found out that there's a Harvest Moon game for GameCube ^^;; For the uninformed, Harvest Moon is a series of games in which you are a... *drumroll* a farmer. One with rather mild brown hair and brown eyes. XD You take over the farm, get married, have a child, and... farm! Golly ^_^ it's a surprisingly simple concept, but I heard it's actually quite a bit of fun. I looked at a few videos of it, and it cracked me up.. somehow, the concept of giving fish to your favored girl as a means of wooing her is just too amusing to miss out on. Plus, you buy cows, a horse, and even a goat. (You also cook, but not the goat.)

There's a version of this game coming out where you actually play as a girl, but it's not coming out until Q3, 2004, whenever that is. ;_; I originally was planning to get Pikmin II (return of the slaaaves!), but it was delayed from May to June and now AUGUST. -___- I'm hoping it will come out sometime before I die, but that may be asking for too much. T_T

I should probably sleep, since I actually am beginning to feel tired now. See some of you tomorrow ^^ and see some of you .. sometime soon? :)

*EDIT*

I found Nemo!

That's so mean. Isn't it absolutely terrible? But Stacy sent it to me, and I had to post it ^^; for the record, I love Nemo. It's not really that well photoshopped, but the concept is gold.

Haha, I bet Tanya was dying to make that comment ^^ still, if it was made today, there'd be no problem with repetition. XD

Aren't you all proud of me? Blogging repeatedly in less than a week. It's like summertime all over again.

SAT II was so boring. So, does anyone know, what type of art was exhibited at the 1913 Exhibition of Modern Art? Because I sure as hell didn't. Choices included "Op Art" and "Pop Art". I was disappointed to see there was no "Pop Tart" choice. I guessed. It wasn't that the AP US history test was that hard, but they were extremely picky on the oddest things. Go figure.

Oh, and which was the first state to come in based on the Northwest Land Ordinance under the Articles of Confederation? I had it down to Ohio and Tennessee and guessed on Ohio. Missourri was another choice, but I think that came in under the Missourri Compromise of 1830. You see, but WHY do you really need to know stupid things like the order, anyway? Bleck.

SAT II Writing Prompt: "Things often "seem" but not are." (or something like that) It was really quite boring, but I wrote two pages on McCarthyism and Gatsby anyway. We won't talk about Math IC.

My birthday is in two days. And so are AP's. Golly, aren't I the luckiest gal in the world?

Someone shoot me, please.

On a happier note, at the AP Review session for history on Friday, Thomson read us sample lines from real essays that people wrote at the AP History Test. Individual bad lines were collated into an entire essay. This is an essay on Manifest Destiny, btw, which took place during the 1840's.

"Manifest Destiny was not that great. But if Hitler had done it, it would have been worse!"

"Americans wanted the Indians to get out of their way or they would extort them."

"Indians were slightly inconvenienced by American settlers."

"John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath focused on the arduous journey west by American settlers." (I laughed so hard I was crying on that one.)

"Americans desired the rich valleys and pubic lakes above Oregon."

"During the Mexican War, Americans fought at Broken Knee and Bull Run." (Bull Run is from the Civil War, btw, and the other one is Wounded Knee.. not broken.)

"People who fought in the Mexican War included Emilio Aguinaldo." (If you didn't know, he was the leader of the Philipino Insurrection.)

And here is my personal favorite, which caused Mr. Thomson to say, "This confirms my belief that the South still exists."

"Mexico is a lazy country full of little brown people."

This caused the entire room to laugh hysterically and look at Josh Mendoza, btw, who stood up and bowed. The end.

I want an iPod. And I'm going to GET ONE! XD On that note, I hope you all have a nice next week while I suffer through AP tests. Byeee ^^
