Mom: Your brothers are coming to visit on Thursday so we have to clean the house.
Me: I don't understand why they can't just stay in San Diego. I mean, don't they see us enough? Honestly.

Well, Thanksgiving is coming up and it's the season of thanks. Pilgrims, Native Americans, and all that turkey goodness.

I went to the store (or a few stores, actually) with my mom today after taking my dog to the groomers at PetsMart. Yeah. It was uneventful. I stared down some fools.

Well. That's a lie.

Some fools looked at me and then I pretended to busy myself with the stacks of processed meat in the aisle that I was in. 'Twas a lovely experience.

I have an exam in Logic tomorrow which I cannot, abso-fucking-lutely CANNOT, be late for. I've been late to that class unfailingly for the last few weeks and I feel bad for my teacher because I like the class, but I always end up leaving my house later than I intend to and miss the first 10-15 minutes of the lecture.

Le sigh.

Oh yeah, and my brothers are coming to visit on Thursday, which sucks because I have a lot of shit due in my classes since school is going to be ending in the next few weeks, hence the conversation above and why I can't understand their reasoning for visiting us on Thanksgiving.

And then that stupid conscience of mine dutifully points out that it's my mother's birthday this week, actually it's today, and they probably want to spend it with her.

Ugh. I hate my conscience sometimes.

Have to write some essays on internet cookies for my javascript class. IT'S FUCKING DIFFICULT. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO WORD SHIT.

And then I have to fix my cookies page. We're supposed to create a page that asks for the visitor's favorite color and, on selection, the page background has to change. And then the cookie on the page is supposed to make it so that the next time the visitor sees the page, it's still in the color they selected.

UGH.

I don't know how to do it. I think I might just copy someone else's work since that's what a few people I've seen have been doing lol. I know, I should work harder, but it's kind of hard when I don't know what the fuck the use for selectColor(document.cookie) is for. WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN??

But at least I finished the extra credit for my logic class. I missed one of the homework assignments and I've been late to class a lot recently, so hopefully those extra points will help me with (at least) the homework I missed. The point system in that class is weird. Most of my new media classes are out of 1000 points, but the logic one... we're only up to 48.5 points and I've got a 47 lol. Still got an A :D woohoo! And I actually like this class a lot better than when I took (and failed) Finite. It's kind of funny because they basically teach the same shit, but the main difference between that class and this one is the number of students. We used one of the big lecture halls for Finite, roughly 150-200 people. And my logic class is just like a regular classroom size, 25 people or so. It's an easier learning environment for me. The only classes I do well in in the big lecture halls are for science and new media classes.

Now I've got to call my bank because I've been holding off on it :\ I need to reactivate my checking card because I accidentally deactivated it for fraud protection. Don't ask me how that happened. I was just being stupid and had a momentary lapse in memory lol.

Forget it. I love all of them. Goddammit, YouTube.

And why isn't the video thing working on Vox? I was going to spam this entry with random videos of them :(

The only ones that I like are Junhyung, Yoseob, and Hyunseung. And Dongwoon, even though he doesn't look young enough to be the magnae but whatev :P

Junhyung is now included as one of my favorites because... well... just because. I don't need a reason. Although he's sexy when he dances. What the hell is with me and the guys that dance? He can't sing that well solo, but he can harmonize fine and Eunhyuk can't sing either, so. Yeah. Nevermind. He can sing, but in English his voice becomes higher pitched lol. Apparently, he used to be in XING. That's not why I like him though (I didn't listen to XING except for their first single) and I don't even remember him. But then again, I don't remember anyone except Kevin and Kibum, that SS501 dude's little brother. Oh, and that guy with the Japanese name, Yume? I think it was that. I wonder if Junhyung was one of the ones they added on after Kibum left... I think other people left too but I don't remember. Ah, forget it.

Doojoon, the leader, seems kind of cocky from the B2ST documentary episodes I watched. That's the only reason why I don't care for him as much. And Gikwang has enough goddamn people fangirling over how hot he is that I don't really see a point for me to as well haha. Seriously though, why is he so good-looking? Stupid bastard.

Yoseob sings in English incredibly well! They had to sing R.L's "Good Man," one of my favorite songs since middle school. The MV for the original song is really sad. I cried... A lot.

And I think Hyunseung tries too hard, but at the same time I'm thinking that he deserves to be in a group and I'm glad that he was willing to train all over again to try and make it. He jokes with the guys, but I think he overdoes it like he's trying too hard to be accepted by them. When he's on camera by himself he's fine though, I don't see the problem lol.

Dongwoon does not look like a magnae!!! Why is he the youngest?! Why is he in high school? WTFWTFWTF.

ANYWAY. I'd write more about him but my doggie's crying 'cause I haven't paid attention to her D: I had to do an assignment for one of my classes and have a live chat earlier with the assistant instructor about a "fake date" with one of my classmates so I didn't have time to spend with her. The assistant instructor is nice, but I STILL HATE THAT CLASS. Midterm's due tomorrow too and I haven't started on it haha...

1. Open your music library.
2. Put it on shuffle.
3. Press play.
4. For every question, type the song that's playing.
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button.
6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool.

Opening Credits: Bore - Emily Haines

"I get up early, make a list and go on back to bed to dream. You're slicing up my face. You like my hair and that's all that matters."

"Down here in fear, down where none can hear. Any whisper, any word."

"Your reassurance has a declining effect. Worse than my heart, I start to question my intellect. You've got yourself thinking you've got to decide between love and pride, and you've got me thinking you may never more than confide."

Breakup Song: Bleeder - Emilíana Torrini

"When things go wrong, you'll find you're a bleeder."

"I don't want to close my eyes, don't want to leave the stage now as the leaves applaud our stay."

"I can tell that you're lonely, but it seems now there's nothing you want me to do. So, I won't try to take the sadness from those eyes that I love. Leave it open for someone else to do."

Driving: Lemon Meringue - Poe

"You know I've been a good girl, but I hit a limit."

"I will grab your heart."

"If I had you here, better here together. I'd be boy and you'd be girl. Beautiful."

"You're like me - we're both alone. What's the problem? I don't know. With the same high, the same eyes... But you can't borrow my clothes all the time."

"I'm still loaded and waiting with anticipation to fly. I'm still studying the patterns in the night sky."

Funeral Song: Imaginary Bars - Great Lake Swimmers

"I was in a prison with imaginary bars. I was riding shotgun in imaginary cars. One was filled with wind, twisting through an iron mouth. One was made of trees with no keys to shimmy out."

"I can't find the words to say, but they're overdue. I've traveled half the world to say I belong to you."

The Lite-Brite has gone black and white
'cause you took apart a picture that wasn't right
Pitch burning on a shining sheet
The only maker that you wanna meet
A dying man in a living room
whose shadow paces the floor
Who'll take you out in the open door
This is not my life

It's just a fond farewell to a friend
It's not what I'm like
It's just a fond farewell to a friend
who couldn't get things right
A fond farewell to a friend

You said, "Really, I just wanna dance"
Good and Evil match perfect, it's a great romance
I can deal with some psychic pain
if it'll slow down my higher brain
Things full of disappearing ink
Vomiting in the kitchen sink
Disconnecting from the missing link
This is not my life

It's just a fond farewell to a friend
It's not what I'm like
It's just a fond farewell to a friend
who couldn't get things right
A fond farewell to a friend

I see you're leaving me
and taking up with the enemy
The cold comfort of the in-between
A little less than a human being
A little less than a happy high
A little less than a suicide
The only things that you really tried
This is not my life

It's just a fond farewell to a friend
It's not what I'm like
It's just a fond farewell to a friend
who couldn't get things right
A fond farewell to a friend
This is not my life
It's just a fond farewell to a friend

Well, except for the soundtrack, which isn't exceptionally great or anything, but without it I wouldn't have discovered Anya Marina. She's from San Diego and I've never heard of her before. But I suppose that's a given since my music taste has changed since then. She sort of reminds me of Emily Haines, but with a style closer to folk rock. Speaking of Haines, I need to listen to some Metric soon.

So, yeah. Fuck Twilight, except for a couple tracks on the New Moon soundtrack and Dakota Fanning because she's awesome. Oh yeah, and except for Rob Pattinson because despite the fact he plays Edward, he is not afraid to diss Twilight and mention how ridiculous it is for the series to go on and on about how beautiful Edward is. I watched an interview with him when the first movie came out and I remember him saying that he couldn't even finish the first book because he couldn't stand how much it went on about Edward's "beauty."

And I am still bitching about sparkly vampires. Vampires are NOT MEANT TO SPARKLE, damn it. Although I do have to tip my hat to Stephanie Meyer for writing the books because she's somehow made her own army of rabid fangirls. I want to do that one day too. Not the fangirl part... but maybe an army of rabid ninjas. That'd be super awesome. They'd be stealthy, but like... super crazy at the same time. And if they lose their weapons, they can just bite their enemies!

Yes. Slow and painful death by rabies...
