I apologize for the random title, but I just stayed up all night being productive for once and I feel deliriously happy as shit. I have had a full cup of coffee and like a half of a row of Chips Ahoy! cookies, caffeine and sugar ftw. I got half my Science project thing done along with the test review for my units 3-6 Geography test I have still not taken and I finished the script (and attempted a recording) for the Battle of the Atlantic radio broadcast for History class. Apparently I'm more productive when my mouth is busy with stuff. Silly oral fixation. Never did get to play any Dead Space though...I never have time for new games anymore. x.x
My Mom got a new Tassimo coffee maker to replace our dying Keurig thing. It is much better than the Keurig, especially since the coffee doesn't taste like shit, the tea is the best I've ever tasted, and the cappuccinos...fuck am I ever addicted to those!
Let's see...this weekend I did a lot of gifting, mostly on Steam. I also bought my first commission (a $5 badge of my new kitty 'sona) and I bought myself Pikmin 1 and a GameCube controller so I actually have something to do on my Wii. Still pissed off at myself for trading away my own Pikmin games to a friend for Guitar Hero 1, especially since I haven't got a PS2 with me at the moment and therefore can't use the guitar controller. But that was like a year or two ago, back when I thought I'd never have a means for playing them any time in the future. And lastly, I did buy myself a couple games offa Steam; Dead Space and Dead Space 2. The original plan was to play Dead Space all night, but homework took over my conscience. :P
Anyway, I am thinking of saving up any extra money I get to go towards computer parts once I get a better job. First a case, then the motherboard, then either the RAM or the graphics card. The power supply in my current PC is brand new and the HDD is a whole terabyte, so they should be fine to keep. I dislike my case a lot even though it has a lot of ports 'n' shit, but the CD drives I have should do me over until I can afford a Blu-ray drive, if I still feel like getting one by then. That is a shitload of money that I won't have for a very long time, but it will be so worth it when I finally put it all together.
Yuppers, there's a short blog fer ya. Gonna be drinking coffee all day and falling asleep in class, woo~

THIS IS THE POST THAT NEVEEEEER EEEEENDS~
I've not written in a couple forevers, whoops. I'll try and fit a whole bunch of things into this next blog to play a bit of catch-up...and so that Kelsey will stop complaining about my lack of activity. *glares*
ANYWAY. The premise of this blog post is to push out as many of the things on my mind in one go as I can possibly wrack my brain for, while also giving you a more organized setup so you can skip over anything you don;t want to hear about. It should be fairly obvious as to how this will work by the blatantly apparent addition of subtitles. If for whatever reason you can't figure out how to tell the sections apart, I can almost guarantee that the best solution I can offer you to get rid of that problem would be waiting for you at the bottom of a large cliff.
LET THE GAMES BEGIN. (and may they be ever in your favour)
Europe Trip!
Earlier this evening I went to an information session regarding the school's Europe Trip taking place in March 2013. It'll be covering France and Italy (specifically Paris, Florence, and Rome) and although it'll be the most expensive thing to ever happen to me, I will hopefully be going! It sounds like the thrill of a lifetime, and although I fail at showing outward emotion, the mere thought of the trip is enough to get me gaping in awe. Somehow I am going to need to fundraise at least $4000 (not including spending money) just to be able to go on the trip! In all fairness, that includes transportation, insurance, dinners and lunches, accommodations, and all the other necessary things, so it's not all bad but still ridiculously expensive for a high school student. But the cost means nothing to me as long as I can have a good time.
Europe Backpacking!
My Mom out-of-the-blue said that if I wanted to go backpacking through Europe for a year after high school, she would be willing to pay air fare. This is exciting news! Instead of worrying about getting on my feet and figuring out where I'll fit into society's stupid workforce, I get to unwind and explore Europe! So cool. I've not yet decided on whether I'd like to lone it or find an accomplice or two, but one thing's for certain. This will be a part of my plans for after high school! Now I actually have exciting purpose behind trudging through the wretched excuse for an education system the school boards have put in place and the government requires me to put-up with.
Fursona
I've finally got a design in mind for my new cat 'sona that also led to the discovery of an excellent string of ideas to get me started writing a piece of fiction. Playing on the fact that Scott has dubbed me perpetually ablaze thanks to the orangish colour of my hair, my 'sona can combust at will. Well, more like it has a large extent of control over the temperature of it's body. His normal fur colour is a sooty black (his fur is a very deep black everywhere, but he is also covered in soot after changing back from his fiery form), in his hot form he has orange fur with red stripes (or in his full-on fiery form he is pretty much fire in the shape of a cat), and in his cold form he has light blue fur with navy blue stripes (or in his full frozen-state mode he is basically made of pure ice). All that confusing form stuff relates to his feral form, but when anthropomorphic he is essentially just a black cat with white inner ears and paw pads and vivid green eyes (eye colour yet to be determined for feral form...god this is confusing. :P). His primary name is Aaron. It'd probably be a lot easier to see a ref sheet considering all the specific details pertaining to every form, but that'll have to wait until I make a good enough income.
Moving and Christmas Vacation to Cuba
Moving to the city on the 15th of December. I'll miss a week of school thanks to that and the vacation to Cuba. We'll be staying there until a couple days after Christmas and I'll have to leave all electronics save for anything I wouldn't mind not coming home with at the new house. So if anyone needs to get a hold of me regarding something to do with Christmas, do it the weekend before I leave (Dec. 16-18) otherwise you'll have to wait until after I get back to reach me.
Wii
Getting one tomorrow (more accurately today, or for simplicity's sake, Thursday November 17th). Won't have any games for it right away unless I steal a couple off my friends who all seem to have Wiis for some reason. I'll splash my Wii Code onto Twitter as well as here on the blog along with a repost of my various other gaming IDs, in case anybody wants to add me on anything.
CONCLUSION
...That seems to be all for tonight. I will post more in the morning, but I really need some sleep and since I have to wake-up at 5:45am and have loads of plans later today, going to bed at 2am is a big deal for me. So with that I guess I leave you to continue looking at space porn or whatever the fuck you kids do on the internet nowadays.

11.02.2011
And then productivity soared through the roof.
I stayed up the entire night Monday. Got a ton of work done when I had the adrenaline rush from being awake so long, then spent the rest of the time researching and planning because I couldn't write because confusion and too many events to work into the journal and bleh. Thing is, I wrote about 3 pages (almost 2000 words) so ...yeah, for a whole night that's pathetic but still a lot of progress on the assignment itself.
And then last night I slept from after school to dinner and then from dinner to my usual morning wake-up time. And I still feel like I could use a few more hours of more sleep. My productivity just crashed as bad as the stock market I was researching the other night. Oh well. I can finish this thing tonight or whenever.
Moral of the story? Historical roleplay journals are stupid.
