Mmm, Chinese food.

Wow, congrats on still getting a 4, skittles.... that's impressive!

I don't know who else has seen the tour, but Jed really really impressed me. He was a great Mark, I thought. Better than the last several times I've seen the show.

I'm getting Chinese tonight, ash.

[sweetestsiren]

Posted: 5/1/06 at 7:06pm

Yay, Em! What are you getting?

I had chicken lo mein. So good, yet so bad for you.

I haven't decided yet.

Em, I have no idea what determines who can take APs in what grades and such. I know teachers have to be certified AP teachers, but still.

It's weird though. My school was one of the poorest in the county, and had a very bad reputation...well in every aspect but especially in intellect (to give you an idea of this reputation...when I went to a party of a friend at another school, probably the richest in the county, when her friends who went there found out my high school, they asked me if I've been shot yet.

Anyway, my point is, despite our reputation and...ill resources, we had the best AP program in the county. We offered the most AP courses at the lowest grades. A lot of high schools had weird rules--the forementioned richest one required students to take honors classes and regents' exams before taking the APs. And that has benefitted me immensely.

ETA: I love chicken lo mein! It's basically what I always get when I get Chinese food.

Mmm, Chinese food.

I bought myself a box of Godiva chocolates to celebrate the last day of the semester, so that's what I'm having right now

I had a salad. Woo. And 2 pieces of grilled flatbread.

I consider myself to be rather socially awkward; my ADHD makes it...not difficult per se, but I do kind of stress myself out over stupid stuff that I say when my mouth works faster than the rational part of my brain. Some of y'all know about these discussions.

At the same time, I'm baffled as to how I can tear myself up over minor missteps in conversations, and yet there are people out there that do things that are just *wrong* and get away with it, because no one has ever bothered to tell them how incredibly rude they are. Or worse, people tell them they're rude and they brush it off as not being that serious, when it *really* is. I'm even embarassed that people like that act like that can even exist in our society. It's just completely unfair that they can get away with behaving like this for so long without remorse or humiliation just because they're too dense to figure out how incredibly wrong their behavior is.

Sorry for the random rant, but I really needed to get that off my chest.

Skittles, that sounds comparable to the problem of incompetence in general. People who are really seriously incompetent have been shown to be quite convinced that they're as good as everyone else, and therefore may actually have more self-confidence than those who worry about the inadequacies they're smart enough to realize they have.

Posted: 5/1/06 at 8:05pm

I'm just painfully self-conscious in general. I hope it's something that will fade with age, because I can't stand living with a little voice in the back of my head wondering what everyone else is thinking of me at any given second.

My mother and I are fighting again. How fun.

My mom's so weird..she goes "no smoking, no drinking..stay healthy" and then leaves.

[Billboard Girl]

Count me in with the self-conscious, always overanalyzing everything crew.

I'm really upset right now over the decision about my summer plans that my parents basically made for me. I need more chocolate.

Threadjack: Can someone look at these pictures and tell me that they really are mislabeled and that I'm not losing my mind?
Aida Closing Night

It looks like the Bway.com photo linking system is out of whack again. Every once in a while it starts posting pictures with no relationship to the captions or general topic.

>_<

So someone sent me Aida last night, and I just realized that they forgot to put in two songs. My iTunes anal-ness is forcing me to go nuts over TWO songs.

Gah...

Um, download the two songs you're missing? Which ones are they?

[guitargeek0624]

Posted: 5/1/06 at 8:42pm

Nah, nevermind. I got 'em.

If Limewire would work on my PC, I would use it A LOT. For some reason, it just doesn't work for me. Weird. *shrug*

I like Raul's headhost in there.

[Katt]

Posted: 5/1/06 at 8:46pm

That's good, because it's evil and gives your computer viruses. Not NEARLY as bad as Kazaa though. Kazaa gave my old computer ten viruses.

Posted: 5/1/06 at 8:49pm

Kazaa Lite doesn't come packaged with spyware, although I've found it ineffective for finding files in general.

LimeWire was packaged with some spyware years ago, but I don't think it is now.

[Katt]

Posted: 5/1/06 at 8:50pm

It SAYS that it doesn't come with Spyware (The original Kazaa did too), but that doesn't account for the fact that my computer is 10 times slower than it used to be...so slow that I can't stand to use it, and use the other computer. My mom uses that computer all the time now. It drives me crazy, and no matter how many spyware checks I do, it doesn't get any faster.

Posted: 5/1/06 at 8:53pm

Really? I haven't had problems with LimeWire, but I'm sorry that it doesn't work with you.

I'm looking through those photos now. Lisa Brescia is gorgeous. I've heard a lot of good things about her and wish I could have seen her as Amneris (my favorite character from the show).

Heh, Mandi, Raul has a bit of jowl going on in that headshot. The Yankee game is depressing me, by the way.

[Katt]

Posted: 5/1/06 at 8:57pm

Well, to be fair, it could be something else that slowed my computer down. All I know is that Kazaa is definitely a virus giver. I don't technically know if Limewire is also.

[Tanssia]

Posted: 5/1/06 at 8:57pm

heh, the "yankee game" (aka the score since I don't have the channel it's on) is making me quite happy

[Mandi Moo]

Posted: 5/1/06 at 9:00pm

It's depressing me too. Although, I did giggle when they threw money at Johnny Damon.
