karriezaiDoes it make me a complete and utter nerd that I find LJ's URL change for journals hopelessly cool? Now we don't even have to be paid to have a journal at (username).livejournal.com XD Wooooo.
-cough- So yeah. I'm anxious to get a paid account. Aze having one just makes my free account seem pathetic. =) But it'll probably be about 4 and a half months. Blllah. Unless Mom and Dad actually get me my own debit card like they've been saying they plan to. Then I can pay it myself -makes a Joey how you doin' face- Ahahaha.
Zah. Precalculus is freaking hard. I mean... hard isn't even the right word. It's easy enough once I get the concept, but the book just does not explain it efficiently. It takes me about ten to fifteen minutes per problem on my twenty-question tests because each problem is a new concept, so I have to go learn it in the book. I gave up today after ten problems because I'd been at it for god knows how long and my brain was positively scrambled. Has anyone reading this ever had to teach themselves precalc out of a textbook? Bleargh. But I did do an entire Physics test and the last half of the Lit test I started yesterday. Tomorrow's Lit essay is a book review on a British novel or short story. Can you say Harry Potter? Hahaha.
I've taken to wearing my rune necklace with the rune facing inward instead of outward. I'm wearing it inside my clothing. I dunno how much I buy into the power of runes... but it seems... I don't know how to explain it. First word that comes to mind is 'quaint' but that definitely isn't it. So I'll settle for pasting a description about the rune I wear for you guys. (I tried describing what it looks like, but I overcomplicated it, so here's a link to a page of runes... look for Dagaz)
Dagaz: (D: Day or dawn.) Breakthrough, awakening, awareness. Daylight clarity as opposed to nighttime uncertainty. A time to plan or embark upon an enterprise. The power of change directed by your own will, transformation. Hope/happiness, the ideal. Security and certainty. Growth and release. Balance point, the place where opposites meet. Dagaz Merkstave (Dagaz cannot be reversed, but may lie in opposition): A completion, ending, limit, coming full circle. Blindness, hopelessness.
I got it at the Renaissance Fair back in... Octoberish. I got different runes for Ash and Aze. (I imagine Aze lost hers =P) Anyway, the poster thing just said transformation/breakthrough for the rune, but I liked it. It sounded like the sort of thing I value. I don't like to stay stubbornly stuck in my ways. I like to think I can change and grow, learn from my mistakes. Plus, I was hoping it would help me 'break through' in my writing, that sort of thing. NaNo was on my mind. When I got home and looked it up, saw the extended meanings behind it, I liked it even better.
Blahblahblah. /boringramble.
Last night I was pissed with Dad again and I was thinking... I can't tell him now. I can't tell him what I think of him while I live with him at all. But I could compile a letter/email between now and whenever I move out to tell him how I feel about him -- the bad, but also the good. I'd have a long time to compose it, read over it, get my thoughts straight, make sure I'm being honest with/about myself... make sure I'm not writing anything juvenile out of anger.
I don't know if I'll do it, but it's a thought.
Well, things to see, people to do... I have graphics to make and updates to check, all that jazz. So. Later.
