But yeah. So, power came back on late Tuesday afternoon. I mathed it, it ended up being like 120 hours without power. Twas cold. Still cold in my bedroom.

Random stuff: Couple of days ago I was talking to Katie about Star Trek pairings and I was telling her about Troi/K'ehleyr and how in the first episode that K'ehleyr was on, she was all "I'm a half-breed! *angsts*" And Troi was like "So am I. *counsel, counsel, counsel, snuggle*" Except minus the snuggling. At least, not on screen. But I said it exactly like that, and with hand motions like flashing lights sending beams of counseling for counsel and it was funny. Yeah. I guess you probably had to be there.

Everybody in school pretty much had the giggles on Friday. It was entertaining. Our entire Spanish class just was constantly laughing.

My teacher told me if I rocked the chemistry test on Friday, I could get an A for semester. I think I kicked that test's butt. Hopefully. *Is cautiously optimistic.*

Yay for last meeting of dumb republican congress. Yay, Nancy Pelosi. I'm a fan. LOL at the congresspersons only working like 104 days all year. Which is like the least working congress days in 60-someodd years. Makes me laugh. Slackers.

Quartet gig last night. Everybody forgot to tell me that this was a 3 hour gig, as I had planned to go see Urinetown for theatre class right after. Nope, couldn't. So I've got to find somebody else to work for me at volleyball tonight so I can hopefully go then.
And I'm completely and totally sick of the song "Here Comes Santa Claus". They made us vamp that over and over while the dumb Santa guy went around to each of the hundred someodd people and handed out candycanes and such. Was nearly 15 minutes. And I can play for 15 minutes with no problem, but when you're playing the same thing over and over (about 30 times, we estimated, as it was a short song), you don't get any variation of arm movement (though in trying to vary up the arm movement, I think I played that song in every shifting position possible) and not only is it killer boring, it makes you really sore. Grr for that.
And the chairs slanted backwards. Which is badbadbad. Because you're leaning extra far forward (even though you're already on the edge of the seat) to compensate and your back starts hurting really quickly.
Got paid, though, which is nice. Finally. As I didn't get paid for the last 4. Nor have I gotten paid for the last two weeks of volleyball. Grr at that also. *needs money*

First violin was rather a bitch at quartet last night.
She was like "Oh, I'm going to be on pit and so is this other kid and nobody else even has a chance because we're the best." I really wish Alyssa had been there, because she's one of the few that actually realizes that aforementioned violin is nowhere near as good as she thinks she is and we could have shared significant glances and sniggers. She's especially not very good on viola, which is the instrument she was talking about being in pit on. She just has a two thousand dollar viola, so whatever she does sounds good. She depends completely on this expensive instrument to make her sound good; she's played mine and she sounds so much worse that I do on it.
But that pissed me off because I really wanted to be on pit for Sound of Music but I knew that I never had a chance because the orchestra teacher really doesn't like me. It has nothing to do with how good she is, it has to do with the fact that she's a suck up to the director and I never joined the director's little strolling strings group.
Grr at Anne for constantly insulting me. All the time. And I don't even think she knows that she's doing it. The replacement second violin for last night's thing asked me where I got my viola, and she made some comment about probably from the trash, because it's so bad. And she's done that multiple times before.
She insults me by grabbing my viola when I was trying to tune it like I've got no idea how to tune an instrument. And then she unwound my C string and put it back on, which made the rest of my strings go out constantly for the first hour we were playing. I was like 'Thanks a lot'. And she still couldn't tune my viola in any kind of short amount of time. I had to grab it back from her so there was a chance of getting it in tune before we had to start playing. She acts like she's all superior when it comes to anything music and she can't accept that she's not.
And at the end, I mentioned something about how my mom's taken on this project of cleaning out the laundry room in the basement, and she goes "So now there'll be one room in your house that you can walk in." I'm like urm, Anne? You've been in my house, what, twice? And both of those times only for a few minutes and only into the front room. And I know for a fact that neither time was the room messy, because once was before my birthday party and I had cleaned it up that afternoon and the other time . . . it just wasn't. So, yeah. Aside from me maybe mentioning that my room is a mess, I have no idea where you got that except out of your ass so you could make fun of me in front of people.
And these just after I was really nice to her on Thursday when she was upset about getting a bad grade on that dumb english presentation. So yeah. Guess what. I'm done. She's finally pissed me off too much.

Word is not letting me paste things in it. Don't know why. It just freezes up when I try to paste things. Not always, but things from email and things from livejournal posts tend to be the ones that are all of a sudden being bitches. Not nice. I'm pasting things to Word Perfect (which I actually like better, but hasn't been working right on the computer in different ways for half a year now) and pasting them from there to Word. Annoying.

Being forced to go to church. Also tres annoying. Grr.

So. Is back from church. Was about to go to the theatre to go see that dumb musical, but then my dad reveals that he has no idea where the theatre is even though I told him what it was by. And there's no time to look up directions as I was already going to be late, so I'm down to one showing that I maybe might be able to go see. And if I had gone to this one at 2, I might not have even had to miss work. And now I definitely will, which is sad. If there even are any tickets. And there's no way that there's going to be any. Because that would be too handy. I'm going to end up not seeing this one. Not like I care. Theatre teacher told us that we would have to go see two or three plays this year. Year's not even half way done and this is number three. I don't have the money to shell out for all of these tickets. She needs to get over herself. And maybe consider teaching something once in a while. There's no teaching going on in that class. Of the two performance things we did before this big directing one, we got feedback on neither. So we've got to do this big one with no idea whether what we've been doing for other plays so far is any good. And the meddling she does in our scenes just screws us up. Of the three male characters I play in this latest performance/directing thing, the one for whom the dialogue is most manly is the one that the teacher made us turn into a female. He/she's the only one who seems even slightly male; the other two have nothing written in to even suggest that they might be of the male persuasion save who they're in love with. Grr. So we're having to change every line from father to mother and your late wife to your late husband (the latter change which completely removed the joke from the rest of that line) and the rest of it still doesn't make sense because it's so un-female.

Knees hurt. And back/neck. And the spot on my shoulder where my viola was digging my bra strap in. And the bruise/hickey on my neck. Not yay for pain.

Okay. So I knew I had virtually no chance of getting to see Rent. But my dad promised he'd take me to try and get tickets, and he didn't. And that pisses me off. There was no way, really, that I could get tickets. But I couldn't even try.

The biggest reason for my wanting to see it, I've realized, is that a bunch of my friends were going. Which I happened to figure out on Friday. Before that, I just thought it was 2 of them. Which kinda miffed me in itself, seeing as how they decided to go together and didn't bother to ask me, when I was the one who got one of them into Rent in the first place. Then I realized it was more than that. As in at least 4. And now I'm really angry. One of my best friends organized this and bought the tickets (obviously having everyone pay her back) and didn't ask me. I put up with crap like this from her all the time. Like standing me up when we do things, and just being blatantly rude.

It's crazy, because I'm obsessively loyal to my best friends. To the point of it being a major flaw. And somehow I'm friends with this. This person whom half the time I'm running around after doing whatever she wants me to do (like coming with her to the French club meeting when I needed to make up a test, effectively screwing myself over).

So I spent this entire weekend crying. Very nearly literally. That and sleeping. I feel so unbelievably bad. Not because of this, but because I am very near the bottom of a low cycle. And this triggered it to get really worse.

Oh, and flamers suck. Honestly. Usually I'd just laugh, but in the mood I'm in right now, I'm trying not to cry. Because I know they're right. I do suck at writing. My stuff is unbearably out of character and not funny.

But truly, if you're going to tell somebody their fanfic sucks, be brave and put your name on it. That really disgusts me.

And not only did they review one story, they reviewed several of mine. Not even in the same fandom. So they must have tried to find my stuff and done this on purpose. They made an effort to be mean. And that really drops my viewpoint of the entire human race down another notch.

So I'm going to go back to bed and cry. And the saddest thing is that I'm not kidding. I get so excited when I see that I've gotten reviews. And to find this. On top of how much my weekend has already sucked. I can barely read what I'm typing because my eyes are so welled up. God, this sucks.

( The text of this asshole's stupid flames. Because, though they may be correct, it's common courtesy to find things constructive to say. And, though I read badfic all the time, I never post anything this obnoxious. I usually never post anything at all, unless I have specific comments to make. )

Eek! I always forget how funny TwoP is.

From "Maternity" in season one.

The lesbians grasp the TEDDY BEAR OF DEATH DEATH DEATTTHHHH in their hands. Wilson and Cameron enter in slow motion and without sound. Not like we need to
hear anything, since Cameron once again chokes and isn't able to tell the parents the bad news. As slow, sad music plays, Wilson mouths an "I'm sorry." The Moms lose it. This scene is so heart-wrenching... must... resist... making... Law and Order... "is this because I'm a lesbian?" quote... joke. Well, I tried.

I didn't at all see them being lesbians. *gasps from the audience. Alexandria missed even the smallest bit of potential subtext?* Because at the beginning, I seem to remember the woman holding the baby and discussing names with only the dad in the room. Wouldn't you think that the other mother would be there too? So I think she's wrong. But it is still funny.

And the poll for the same episode:

Why is Wilson the oncologist always hanging around the infectious disease department?<tr>
- There is no cancer today<tr>
- The hospital is really small, so it's easy to run into people you know</td></tr>
- He can't resist the dangerous allure of infectious disease treatment</td></tr>
- He can't resist the dangerous allure of House</td></tr>

(And look, I made it look just like the actual poll, even though you can't vote on this page. Pretty damn cool.) Edit: Or, you know, it looked right under preview but is not looking right now. So it's not going to look like a poll anymore.

The results as of today?

#1- 16%
#2- 2%
#3- 6%
#4- 76%

It's just like the Bones poll on one episode, asking which pair of people did you think were going to get together first. The highest, by an overwhelming margin, Zach and Jack.


Oh, you say I have only talked about half of the things I mentioned in the subject line? Okay. Well. The girl in my chem class looks kinda like Tina Fey. That's really all there is to it.

But for the sake of not doing my english paper, I'll elaborate. When she has her glasses on (which look really good on her), she kinda peers over them sometimes and every once and a while I see it. I told her as much. She laughed. I told her, hey, Tina Fey is hot. And then mentally smacked myself for continuing to flirt with her. Her being the girl, not Tina Fey.
