Sometimes It Comes Down To This: January 2013

Post#36:

Cold. That pretty much sums things up for me now, as of lately.
Here, let me explain.
Let us jump back about... 9 days ago.

The Snowball dance.
No, I didn't go, I learned my lesson last dance. Two of my friends went and the rest of us met up at one of my friends house after exploring our great mall.
The only reason why these two days have anything to do with The Cold is because the dance is called The Snowball and snow is cold. I also just wanted to tell you of my fun weekend.

Anyways.

Lets go to about 6 days ago.

The day after Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Everyone still wants their sleep and weekends. So, the snow said, sure thing!
Two Hour delay!
Woooo!
I was unsure if I should wake up earlier and do some fun things in the morning to pump myself up for school, or if I should sleep until I almost miss the bus.
Option number two shined a little brighter when the time came.
School sucked.
The first semester was over so my friends who I have study hall with now have to go to gym instead. Now, I do enjoy some one-on-one, let's think about life, time with myself so this wasn't the worst problem.
No.
My worst problem.
The Cold.
The room I have study hall in is only used twice a day, and has this windows in the back that are just... cold.
I was going to move myself to the back so I could stay away from those I hate. (Perv King, for one) But I can't because the entire back row is either in front of the windows or in front of the heater that blows cold air.
Now, the seats are arranged in a loose horseshoe shape with three different levels (it used to be the music/chorus room) So, if you were looking from behind, so the horseshoe was in a U shape, I would be on the left tip.
Perv King and his lackey team of The Undesirables congealed over on the right tip, so even though I'm far away from them, I still have to look at them... I can't look up in thought without staring at them.
Ugg.
(anyways, back to The Cold)
I seriously feels like someone had a window open in there. I don't like to sit down because the chairs are so cold. The whole period, I sit there shivering!

It's horrible.

The Cold's arms snake up my legs and hug tight around my stomach while its hands and fingers grab at my neck and head.

Oh God.
Please no.

Let's jump ahead a day after that.
A refreshing two hour delay delighted us all.
What could be better?
How about...

Another Two Hour delay?!
Two two hour delays in a row.
After that, expectations were high and we were let down by the school board.

Now, enter Saturday.
My sister wanted to try out some things for her senior pictures, so my mother, brother and I went out in the cold with her as she flung around snow.
Then my dad got this great idea about some of the places in the woods surrounding our house.
We trekked in the woods, singing loving songs about SlenderMan, whistling the Hunger Games whistle, and in the end we danced Gangnam Style in the snow, and quoted PewDiePie.
It was odd.
When we got home we then watched The Hunger Games so my dad would understand what we were talking about.
It was cold and uphill and my legs ached and my toes were numb.

Enter Sunday.
We went to the area around our camp. My sister was ice skating on a frozen creek.
It was pretty cool.
And Cold.
The Cold.
My sister was in a dress and I was in a sweatshirt and coat.
I have to admire her for that.
My toes weren't just numb, but pained.
We got some good pictures though.

Now, we go to today.
Better than a two hour delay?
Cancelation!
Woo!
I even got up today and ate breakfast and finished the Reeses Puffs!
But still, I didn't want to get up, so things were all good.
Today was actually quite warm, at least it was inside in my room.

But still.....

The Cold controls my life.
It's always there, a constant reminder of the bad.
Just waiting for the moment to jump on me.
To take me over.
I wish I could fend it off, but it's stronger than me.
Powerless.

*Sigh*

I truly and honestly hate winter. And we're only about halfway through it.
I thought the only reason why I hated it was because I'm a summer baby and it's natural to hate the opposite season, but... I really hate winter! I do.
Too cold. Too much school. Too much depression abound because of the cold and school.
Freaking winter.

This is UnicornSlayer, leaving you with her words of wisdom: Winter... it really freaking sucks!

Post #35:

Another sun sets on a cold winter night and again I felt the cool hands of shame grip my heart.

So, it's been about a month.
It's been awhile; I've thought a lot of things, most of those things were things I was thinking of adding as quick little side notes, but now I guess they're going to make an entire post. I've experienced Christmas, the 21st apocalypse, annoying children, and I've sadly lost the font that I used for signature. I've been sick twice and missed some school. I currently need lunch money for said school. I'm pumped for Being Human to come out on Monday, and I've finished a book series.
Where should I begin?

Well, I'll just start by explaining my lost font, because I just discovered that five minutes ago and I am utterly heart broken and shocked.
For Christmas, I have received the gift of a new laptop. It is a "HP ENVY dv6 Notebook PC" I guess you can google that if you want to see what it looks like. It has Windows 8, which means it has this fancy tiled display and it freaked me out because I thought that I wasn't going to have an actual desktop. Then I found the desktop icon and it's all good now.
I had to download Microsoft office 2010, which I
guess is just as good as 2007, and better, except for the freaking fact that it doesn't have this one font called "Blackadder ITC" I very much enjoyed this font because I found it to be the perfect mix of creepy and pretty. I've actually thought of it as the progeny of the Chiller font and Curls/Cursive fonts. Now i'm really juiced off because it's not there anymore and my pretty fonts have been replaced by Calibri or Arial or something. Makes me mad. My signature probably wont be fancy for this post unless I find the font and download it before publishing this.

Anyways, let me go one with the not-so-current happenings.

I think the first thing that I've thought about and then thought "Haha, that sounds like something to ad

d in a post" was another reason why I'm happy to be a girl. Sure, you have the obvious things, like: I don't have to be a perv my whole life, and, gym class won't be a competition, and, I don't have to love girls' breasts to be socially acceptable (I guess as a guy that may just come naturally, if I wanted to be socially acceptable, meh, who knows because, thankfully, I am a girl and don't have to think about that) Well, I thought of another reason.
(keep in mind this was thought of around the holiday season) My reason is: I never have to even consider being a mall santa for a job. You know how much that job would suck? Well, being a girl, I never have to consider it at any point in my life.
WOO!

The second thing I thought of goes hand-in-hand with the first time I was sick, with a stomach bug. I was wondering if they make fruit milk. There's almond milk, vanilla milk, chocolate milk, and strawberry milk, but is there a such thing as fruit punch milk? (I thought of this after eating Fruit Loops cereal) Now, this is something that, for some reason, if my stomach ever hurts, I automatically start thinking of this, because it is gross, and my brain hates me and wants me to feel bad. I saw a commercial for something that I think was a milk product. It looked pink in the glass and the guy was like "it can replace your morning orange juice" or something like that, and then he went on about the "protein" in it. When I hear "protein" I think of raw eggs. This drink was the color of peptobismal, which is a medicine, and then there's this whole fruit milk thing. Whenever I get sick I imagine that little girl drinking the milk with raw eggs mixed into it, and afterwords it tastes like a mix of cherry medicine (which almost made me puke after taking it in my earlier life) and then it also tastes like fruit
Just... disgusting. I don't even know what the product was, though; I haven't seen the commercial in a while. I just... every time my stomach remotely hurts (like it does pretty much every morning in first period for some reason) I just think of how gross it must be and my stomach hurts worse! It makes me so mad and... disgusted...
This all happened the second to last week of school, before Christmas break. So it was a while ago, and it still haunts my head...
BLECH!

Now, on a happier note. Christmas! For Christmas, I've gotten this laptop I am currently typing away on (the pressure I need to press the down the buttons still feels a little foreign) I've gotten clothes, new earbuds, a whole mess of books (one of them was the second in the Slayer Chronicles! I decided that staying up until 1 to finish it was more important then being mentally present in school the next day, when I read it) One of them was the last in the Hush, Hush saga, which I just finished today in school. I'm not one for books in which love is 50% of the conflict, but it was pretty good. This is the previously mentioned finished book series.
BOOKS!

I survived the December 21st apocalypse, obviously. I think I spent most of my day sleeping, anyways.
ZZZZ!

Now, this is something that severely made me angry, one random day at lunch. If you know me, you know of my love of Spiderman. I'm wearing a Spiderman shirt right now as I type this. I think it's a guys' shirt though, and I constantly find it in laundry baskets going to my brother's room. I also have a Spiderman poster above my bed. Anyways, I didn't hear the beginning of the fight, but there was a group of guys, a year younger than me, I think, and they were trying to convince one of their friends of why Batman was better than Spiderman. Alright, you're allowed to have your own opinions (even though you're freaking wrong!) but the reasons they were giving their friend were totally bogus! They didn't know anything legit about Spiderman and it freaking showed!
One of their stupid reasons why were because: "Spiderman only has, like, four villains."

The Spiderman Facepalm!

*look at picture now*

It was clear that they have only watched the movies and NOT the animated series as wholeheartedly as I. They then named the villains from the movies. (Doctor Octopus,Green Goblin, Sandman, Venom, and Dr. Connors/The Lizard) I actually don't even remember them naming Venom... Anyways, i'm standing there in the long lunch line wanting them to slap them in the face as they went on with another "reason"
"His villians are only created being he was screwing around and being stupid" (or something like that) "Do you think The Lizard would be around if he wasn't screwing around?"
That one made me mad. I haven't watched the newest Spiderman movie, but The Lizard wasn't Peter's fault.
Dr. Connors lost his an arm in a war and in his desperation to have it, he experimented by injecting himself with lizard DNA because lizards can regrow limbs (Ha, it makes you wonder how different things would have turned out if he injected himself with starfish DNA instead!) One night it was just too much for his body to handle and, after re-growing his arm, he transformed into the Lizard. Peter had nothing to do with it! Nothing. Nothing. NOTHING. It was all because of a certain Dr. Curt/Kurt Connors and his want for what he wasn't meant to have.
There goes one of their stupid reasons. They also touched on that "He provoked the Green Goblin"

REALLY

*look at picture*

Norman Osborne was a power hungry man, mentally unstable after being exposed to a steroid-like gas. The only thing Spiderman ever did to him was befriend his son and then try to stop him after he went insane. He did no provoking on his part.

Let me go back to that one reason I never resolved: "He only has four villains, Batman has a bunch" (they then named Batman villains and the previously mentioned Spiderman villains.[Doctor Octopus, Green Goblin, Sandman, Venom, and Dr. Connors/The Lizard]) Mkay, have you ever heard of the Hobgoblin? Carnage? Mysterio? The Vulture? Rhino? Scorpion? Electro? Tombstone? Shocker? Chameleon? Hydro-Man? Kraven the Hunter? Michael Morbius, who was a vampire! He fought against Alistair Smtyhe and the Kingpin! He fought Blade! He fought the Punisher! He fought Wolverine for God's sake! Have you ever heard of the Insidious/Sinister Six? Their name right there implies that there are more than four villains. He even fought the Red Skull! Yeah, Spiderman was the creator of all of his four enemies. You got me with that one.

Another reason: "Spiderman is a total D-bag because he takes pictures of himself for the newspaper and keeps everyone else from the job."
What?! Excuse me, but I'm sorry if the man is trying to make a living. I'm sorry that not everyone is born into a billionaire family with a butler and a mansion. And if he didn't have that job then someone else would just be taking up the position and keep everyone else out of the job anyways.

"His parents didn't even like him and disowned him"

Getting Real Tired of Your Crap

*look at picture*

Richard and Mary Parker worked with the O.S.S. the C.I.A. and S.H.E.I.L.D. They were working on a case in which they were investigating the third Red Skull in Russia, posing as turncoat, double agents. Their cover was blown and the Finisher sabotaged their plane. They were presumed dead at the scene. (Peter later learns of this and goes to Russia where he learns of the truth and clears their names)

Another reason was that "Batman has a utility belt with a whole bunch of weapons and Spiderman only has webs" I don't mean to provoke a fight here, but if Batman lost his belt, he'd be screwed.

The last stupid reason was something weak and untrue, like the rest of the reasons, but it was dumbest of all "Batman has helped fight terrorists, Spiderman hasn't."
*Look at picture again*

Spiderman, and his parents, had helped fight the Red Skull. The Red freaking Skull. Who has been incarnated as two Nazi agents and a soviet agent. No terrorists, my butt.

Sadly, I did not make any of these points to the guys in line because I knew I would stumble under the pressure, say something wrong, not be able to say anything, and the latter. I failed to avenge Spiderman's awesomeness.
I failed.
I'M SORRY!

I think the last thing I need to touch on is the second time I was sick, which was a week ago, I think. I missed the first two days back to school after Christmas break. I was weak and had cold/hot flashes. but it didn't last for long.
YAY!

And now I just want to go all happy-weird about how excited I am for Being Human to be coming back on Monday! Monday at 9PM will be the moment I've since March for. March. Do you know how long I've waited? Oh God, I can't wait! I went to a New Years party at Lewis/Abby's house and she has Netflix so we watched the first couple episodes of season 1 (which I never watched) and it got me all pumped up again. We even got Anonymous a little bit hooked on it!
CAN'T WAIT! CAN'T WAIT! CAN'T WAIT!

Alright, so that seems to be the only things you've missed out on because my horrible tendencies to slack.
To make up for it, please enjoy these captioned pictures of my cat when she was a kitten!
