Even More Randomness

So...I'm writing a story in school...about the Holocaust...it's supposed to be 4-8 pages long (double spaced) and I have 11 pages right now...in disconnected segments. Yeah.

When I said that I should probably blog today, Lily went all happy and asked "About me?!?"

In public speaking,  my teacher said that I have to be overly enthusiastic and loud. I don't like public speaking.

Never watch Sweeney Todd. It's a very creepy and disturbing and disgusting play about revenge. *shivers at the thought*

I hate the snow. Well, not actually the snow itself, the snow is actually quite nice. But ice that freezes on top of the snow is very annoying, especially when it prevents me from walking home from school. The slushy half-melted snow is also very annoying, because whenever I'm outside some always manages to get inside my shoes.

The Bayern books (The Goose Girl, Enna Burning, River Secrets) were good, but I guess they were kind of dark. Especially after watching Sweeney Todd. *shivers again*

It's kinda nice to hear Thomas play the drums, on Sunday especially. That may sound kinda weird, but Mom goes down with him and plays Sunday music. It's an interesting combo.

Bree's birthday party was fun. We got to paint our nails and decorate cakes and the like.

After watching Sweeney Todd *shivers yet again* I couldn't go to sleep (duh). So I read 20 chapters of the Book of Mormon. Somehow they were all from 2 Nephi. It did help me calm down. But then I freaked out again.

School hates me.

So does Thomas.

Flute hates me.

Even my own brain hates me.

(duh)

(to all of them)

Does anyone have any ideas of what I can draw during band? They just talk so much...I have sheet-protectored music that I draw (all over) on with dry-erase markers. So far I've done
  • Sierpinski Triangles
  • Mobius squares and triangles
  • fractal trees, squares/triangles/pentagons where you draw the shape, then draw a slightly smaller one that's twisted and fits perfectly inside the original, drawing until you don't have any more room
  • spelling out antidisestablishmentarianism (and no, I didn't use spell check)
  • trying to figure out how to spell pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis (I don't know if that's how you spell it, it's not in the computer's spell check dictionary. it's some type of disease)
  • be infuriated that Thomas knows how to spell both of these
  • trying to figure out what I'm missing in "In a soliton wave, the nonlinear correlations of positive and negative feedback loops are exactly counterposed so that the wave remains unchanged as it moves throughout space." Thomas memorized that sentence out of Turbulent Mirror, and he won't tell me what I'm missing
  • the Golden Spiral (with imperfect Golden Rectangles)
  • reading!!!
I can't draw anime or realistic stuff...so I've done a sad attempt at trying to do mathematical drawings. Yeah.

I watched Gnomeo and Juliet on Friday with Audrey. I thought it was good, but then again I'm not the best for asking how great a movie is.

Lily: "We love to be crazy!"

Beth: "We are the crazy girls!"

Yeah.

Bye!

(so stop reading)

(NOW!)

You are cute, and the entire second half of your post made my brain hurt. I admit to skipping portions. I do not believe an aunt who cannot comprehend the writings of her 12 year old niece should be calling her "cute".

Actually, I did understand the quote from your sisters. And I feel comfortable saying that THEY are cute.

You, however, are. . . incomprehensible. In the very best sense of the word.

(Love the background, font and especially the falling hearts!!)

Fragmentary narrative technique is a characteristic of the postmodern. So, if your teacher questions your fragmentary structure, just tell him/her that you are a postmodern.

PS. One of my favorite novels, by the way, is an experimental fragmentary novel about the Holocaust was written by a Mexican novelist named Jose Emilio Pacheco. There are three narrative lines that draws parallels between three historical Jewish genocides (Masada, Warsaw, Auschwitz). Chilling, but beautifully written.

I love your randomness and think that you know more than I do about some things. I love you!

One of the many ways you remind me of your mother is that you have two little sisters who are 4 and 6 years younger than you. Anne and Lisa were 3 and 4 years younger than your mom and her response to them was very like unto yours! Maybe you and your mom can do therapy together. :D

Ditto Lisa on your blog background! xo
