it's kind of a funny story

My day yesterday:
Today, I'm doing everything I should have done yesterday. I had to make a list, and "Make a blog post" was my top priority. Yes, even above my Calculus homework (I'm so excited for my next test, I feel like I'm going to ace it. At least get above an 80. Heck yes. :) ).

On 11/11/11 at 11:11am, I did make quite the wish. During astronomy someone set an alarm on their phone so we wouldn't miss it. At 11:11pm I was with some friends finishing Hannibal and watching the next one, Red Dragon. Again, made quite the wish.

Also, RADIOHEAD WILL BE LIVE IN DALLAS IN MARCH. I'M SO EXCITED, YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW. ASDFGHJKL;
The only challenge will be finding someone to go with me, since none of my friends fully appreciate Thom Yorke's greatness, and I must find someone who does. :/

Coldplay's "Mylo Xyloto" is pretty good. I was very hesitant to buy it, but I'm glad I did.
Also, "Heartland" by Owen Pallett is now in my Top 25 Most Played playlist in iTunes, another album I was unsure to buy or not.

These next few months should be amazing. :)

"The most beautiful kind of people are the ones who don’t know it."

"There is no worse sound in the world than someone who cannot play the violin but insists on doing so anyway."

Astronomy has been getting worse. The tests and quizzes are easy, most of the kids in the class are amazing, but I don't feel like I'm learning past what I already knew from 4th grade. But, we read some current events earlier today, and my group, of course, got one about the bright spots on Uranus. The first sentence from a Huffington Post article: "Uranus rarely gets any love."

It's snowing on my blog. :3

I watched The Silence of the Lambs Halloween night, and a week later we started watching Hannibal. I expected them to be super scary, but they're not really. They're more weird and disturbing than anything else. His blinking was edited out, which just makes it even stranger.

Tim Burton's book The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy is just one giant anti-joke. A very awesome anti-joke.

I applied to a college that's relatively close to where I live. A few years ago, all I wanted was to get out of here and go to an out of state college. It's crazy how much my plans have changed. I've gotten emails suggesting tours and sending links of my interests, so hopefully I get accepted soon. It's so nerve wracking since it's the only place I've applied to, and I would love to go there. It's absolutely beautiful.


And hey, I'm understanding Calculus, so life is pretty good right now.

"Oh, Mario. If only I could control everyone the way I control you."

I had a half day today because of midterms, so I finally had time to post this.
What has happened the past month I've been gone:
Calculus has been kicking my butt. But I passed the Midterm and got a B in the class. :D
Got a new laptop.
Downloaded MineCraft on new laptop. Though I'm not very good at it and I make my friend kill all the spiders.
My astronomy teacher lost my last test and marked it as a zero, which made my grade drop 16 points (97 to 81). Thank goodness she finally fixed it.
Radiohead was on SNL a few weeks ago.
I watched Toby Turner's "Amnesia" series on YouTube. Now I'm working on his MineCraft and LA Noire ones. Also, I love/hate the MarbleHornets series.
A boy I used to like and who used to like me sent me this song.
Went star gazing quite a few times for my astronomy class.
The first orchestra concert of the year was great.
Orchestra field trip to a Dallas Symphony Orchestra rehearsal was also great.
College applications are not as bad as I thought they would be. Almost done with them. :)
Dvorak's New World Symphony has been on repeat on my iPod for the past few weeks.
Also in love with Owen Pallett's "Heartland" and "Swim" by Caribou.
I want to take more pictures and post more often. It's been way too long.
