This week is my pre-exam week, exam week. As in, the week I have midterm exams right before the week I have final exams. I cannot begin to tell you how unhappy this makes me.

I can't wait until this semester is over so I can have my life back.

Also, I have not seen Oswald in ages. Mostly on purpose.

Well now there's an idea...

Egg laying mammals? Yes please.

I saw a journal entry from this deviant: http://pelicanh.deviantart.com/ who does nudes that I'm sure you have seen. Anyways, the beginning of his journal said this:

'When my phone rang, I was sorta pleased to hear Charlene on the other end of the line. I say "sorta" because although she is a BEAUTIFUL model, has a lovely body, and moves quite well in front of the camera..... she can be... uh....odd. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE odd, but I have to be in the mood for it. You don't ALWAYS want to go to the zoo to see a platypus, ya know. Sometimes you just wanna stick with dogs and cats.'

And I said to myself: WTH. I would ALWAYS chose to see a platypus over a dog or cat.

When something is fake, people want it to look real. And when something is real, people want it to look fake. I was thinking about cake, but it applies to loads of things. (Hint: this is a picture of a fake cake. It sells for $100)

I want to make something with googly eyes.

Lost in Riven

I am recently obsessed with Myst. When we got our first computer when I was about 7, my dad bought the original Myst and loved it. He played it all the time while my brother and I watched him and added in our (useless) suggestions for a puzzle. This is a great memory for me for a few reasons: 1. I've never seen my dad play ANY other video game of any kind. 2. I really looked up to my dad when he solved puzzles that were far beyond my comprehension level. He was like a superhero.

I don't remember if he ever finished the game, but sometime after he stopped playing I tried it. And failed.

Anyways, I was remembering this the other week and decided I should try again. So I got Myst II and III (they sell them insanely cheap) and apparently I am still not clever enough for the game. Either way, it's fun, and if I mess around with the puzzles enough they seem to work out. Another plus, they are incredibly escapist which allows me a small amount of time when I'm not full of anxiety.

Crap, I was going to write something else. What the hell was it...

This shit is important. Gotta get it right.

Today at the candy store we had a brief discussion of Disney princesses and their heritage (REMEMBER JOLIE?! I don't know why I don't just address these to you) I said Mulan was not a princess, because I've thought about this before (clearly) and that she was instead an emperor's daughter or something and we agreed that it was the equivalent to a princess. Well, I was lying through my teeth. I knew it didn't sound quite right and it's not. In fact, we were wrong about most of them. XD Ariel and Snow White didn't just marry princes, they are actually princesses by birth. This is a list of the 8 girls most commonly referred to as the "Disney Princesses" and their link to royalty, because I have nothing better to do.

Snow White - Born a princess (her father is the king by default after his wife's aunt (the queen) and his wife (the new queen) die, but she runs away to the dwarves because of the stepmother situation), marries a prince with no name.
Aurore - Born a princess, marries Prince Phillip.
Ariel - Born a princess (Yes, she is. Her father was King Triton even though they are mermaids), also marries Prince Eric. A land prince.
Belle - Born a commoner (filthy), marries a prince.
Cinderella - Commoner, marries a prince

This is where it gets tricky.
Jasmine - Born to a sultan, which is a ruler so we will call this an equivalent, because I like Jasmine; she has a pet Tiger. Marries a street rat.
Pocahontas - Daughter to a chief (similar enough) and never gets married but does hook up with John Smith AND John Rolfe.
Mulan - Born to a war veteran and marries a captain in the army.
No way is she a princess.

NOW YOU KNOW.

I just realized I can post things without titles! :O I wish I had know this before... because I hate titles. Titles are the hardest part of writing, as far as I'm concerned. Not just with blogs either; stories, papers, etc. I can never get them to sound interesting, but not cheesy, and still relate to what I've written without being too straightforward or boring.

Outside someone is yelling at their dog. She yells at her dog every day. Why, why, why. They play fetch with a tennis ball starting at around 7:30 - 8, but as far as I can tell he is very obedient and always comes back. And as such, I could do without the yelling.
