I found my transit card! It wasn't lost, it just fell into my bag! Hurrah!
I'd already gone and bought a new one with maximum value because I wasn't paying attention to what bills I was using. Boo!

Getting a 34 on the ACT is a blessing and a curse. I'm starting to get tons of ads from colleges in the mail. I think I'll make a list of colleges and see how many I get.

I think I mentioned this elsewhere: don't just take what comes for you. The best universities tend not to have such outreach programs. Research them meticulously before taking any offer up, and keep an open mind to the possibility that none may be very good.

but... but research takes work

(and yes, I know enough not to just pick one at random; I just find it funny)

Christmas is coming soon, but I've been dropping unsubtle hints telling my parents what I want for Christmas which takes the fun of the surprise out of it.

Also my PSAT scores came back on Monday. On the one hand, I scored high on reading and writing (62 pts/95th percentile and 67 pts/98th percentile, respectively). On the other hand, I only got 52 in the math section (77th percentile). Oh well; at least my sophomore grade isn't my final one.

Also I'm too lazy to do my schoolwork (I homeschool) but I'd feel guilty if I didn't.

I ate too much custard, and now I feel like I deserve a horrible death from obesity, but I'm so happy I had it because it was amazing.

Contradictory feelings indeed. I know exactly what I want to get for Christmas, but getting them because I told someone is far less fun than getting them when I wasn't really expecting to. So I mostly don't say anything. Result: I usually end up with one to none of the things I would have really liked to get.

I refused to get presents for my birthday and Christmas years ago, when they began to be perfect samples of the-fuck-have-you-bought and I-don't-really-need-that-whatever-it-is. I get a job and began to save money instead, so I can buy the things I really want and need, which, on the other hand, are not many.

I often default to saying 'well, they can give me money for my birthday/Christmas'

That was my last stance, before taking the way I said.

When I was a little girl, my mom squeed with joy because I was finally big enough to be on the growth chart.

Such is the hand that tiny people are dealt.

I'm not tiny, I'm just light and skinny. I got blown over by the wind the other day.

Racist.


EDIT: Like really, can't I post something entirely banal and unrelated to anything without you jumping on it and squeezing out every last measly drop of hatred you can?

I am racist against Israeli only because they have no sense of humor.

Not laughing at a joke about a whole country being destroyed != having no sense of humour.
