Live on, Death Cab!

Life has alternated between me loving music theory, oatmeal, and poetry, and hating 500 mile differences, AP U.S. History, double flats and sharps, and 500 mile differences again. Music Theory has been the only class I'm both good at and enjoy thus far, though choir is actually tolerable. I've become increasingly depressed about the fact that the guy I love happens to live 500 miles away [he's driving to Massachusetts for school as we speak]. It is rather unfun thinking that I have yet to see him face to face. Meh.
On a much happier note, I got my quails! Sufjan, Flip, Antoinette, and Maude are utterly adorable. The two males [Sufjan and Flip] are both bluish, with ginger underbellies and white faces, and Antionette and Maudie are both a dusty greyish brown/red color. They make adorable little laughing noises and like to hop. So far I've almost gotten Antoinette to not be afraid of me. Huzzah.
I've also written 5 more poems and 3 melodies. I feel deliciously creative. This is quite an accomplishment seeing as I've been spending my week taking notes for US History and doing basically nothing else. I've about 5 front-back pages thus far, and still need to cover the essay questions. But I think it will go well. Here's hoping.

Gott helfe dir wenn du die Sonne noch siehst...

Well. School, that fickle, fickle requirement for us young'ns has begun. Right now I'm not too worried about my classes, they shouldn't be too dificult [and, having said that, I am jinxed.]. On Maroon days [we operate on a block schedule; our school colors are maroon and gold] I have Honors Algebra II [Eh. The teacher is good, I've heard, and I've never been too awful at Algebra], Choir [The director is, as per usual, utterly insane], English AP [The class should be easy, the teacher walks like a t-rex, and my ex boyfriend is in it. Peachy.], and U.S. History [Teacher is lovely, all the notes we have to take aren't]. Then for Gold days, Ethnic Studies [Teacher is reputed to be wonderfully mad, but I think I may switch out and take another science class], Music Theory AP [Which I did not fail at, other than not knowing what an alto clef looked like! Plus I have many friends in it], Latin II [Good class. Not so good that I had to switch out of theater to fit it into my schedule. Also not so good that my ex is in this one, too.], and then Honors Chemistry [I've heard the teacher is a total moron, but she seems nice]. So. Not to great, especially having to drop theater, but not awful either.
In other news, I grew out my fingernails and ate some great pesto.

~~~~~~~~ >O ~~~~~~~~~ swim ,fishie, swim!

Good God, Faiz, I haven't written in half an eon, have I? Very very sorry, my loyal followers.
Here we go. Snippets of my existence since last post:
--Beauty and the Beast! AAH! It went very very well, if I do say so myself. I had bunches of fun being everyone's favorite teapot, and so many people came to see it! Not to mention our amazing cast parties, invloving lots of random singing and dancing on top of waterfalls.

-- ZE KAHWAILS! My little quaily babies are growing at an alarming rate. Still as adorable as ever. I decided to name mine Antoinette, Flip, Sufjan, and Maude.

-- Emily's Downtowning with Meeb! My aunt and I took downtown B-town by force last weekend. After getting some rather fantastic coffee, we got art supplies, records, fun pins, and a blond wig, of all things. And I must say, I was never meant to be a blond. Good times, good times.

-- Things I love right now: Jane Eyre, Sufjan Stevens, comic books, safety pins, red lipstick, Abraham Plato, quailies, saying "HUZZAH!" and pesto.
