This morning I got up at six thirty and drew binary for two hours.
It was for Josephs Birthday sign which is totally awesome. When you come home you will be stunned by its awesomeness.
Yeah Angela should read City of Ember but she must be warned, the first book was totally awesome, the second book was pretty alright. The third book was horrible. The fourth book was unsatisfactory and horrible.
Yeah.
Today I cleaned off my desk and it took me a really long time. Like fifteen minutes. Which is a long time to clean three square feet.
Yesterday I did four math lessons. Then today I did four more. Yeah its crazy!
I'm learning about graphs in math. Its just about the most interesting thing I've learned all year, which isn't really saying anything. Math doesn't interest me in the least.
Heres what interests me: Summer and swimming.
Today I got up at six thirty and I was like a totally zombie for five or ten minutes, then I snapped out of it, but they were still like the worst five or ten minutes of my existence. Mainly because my breath was absolutely horrible.
But as a sat there, on the floor, unable to keep my eyes open without it hurting, I thought, "welcome to your next two months, Michelle." and then I was like, "except you'll be waking up an hour earlier than this and swimming in freezing cold water for two hours." and then I was like, "No you'll be waking up an hour and a HALF earlier than this and swimming in freezing cold water for two hours."
Yeap, thats right. Instead of getting up at 5:20 every morning and stumbling around the house before we leave at 5:35, I'm going to get up at 5:00 so I can be fresh and happy and awake by the time I get to freeze to death.
It was Angela's idea.
Nothing else interesting happened except last night I was on the computer and mom said, "Michelle, are you ever going to read a real book?" And I had to sit there for a second to try and remember how many times I had talked to her about my summer reading list, and then I had to try and remember how many days it had taken me to read The Lightening Thief and the Sea of Monsters (like 9) and then I had to try and remember what happened in both of them, because I always forget when I read the books too fast.
And then I responded with, "I've read two whole books in lest than two weeks!"
And she was like, "...Only two?"
Well, I don't know about you, but two is a lot, considering all the other things that are going on in my life right now. Like school.
But as of today I only have like fifty-six days to read the last three books of Percy Jackson and all seven of the huge harry potter books if I want to get them all finished before Deathly Hallows part 2 comes out.
Peace out, homie.

To tea or not to tea?
That is the question. I'm at school, the weather's horrid, I have an hour and a half to wait for my next final (Western civ, will invariably be torture), and the temptation to purchase a hot drink in strong. I have no idea why I didn't think to just bring a car cup with me, and now I'm living with the consequences.
I'm in the computer lab as of this moment. The computer lab is a soulless place, filled with lame equipment, unnatural lighting, and sleep-deprived zombie students pressing keys aimlessly in the hopes that it will better prepare them for the inevitable Final Exam. Not only that, I sat down to this computer about a half-hour ago, only to realize that the computer next to me is evidently the only computer in the entire lab that has Windows 7 on it, with the shmancy graphics and the slick-looking desktop. While I'm over here typing away on what is probably Vista but seems more like Windows 2000, with the bad resolution and the stretched screen and the infinitesimally slow processing skills.
I'm an ungrateful hag!
Yesterday Angela and I went to see Hanna. It was interesting but I'm not completely sure how I feel about it. I certainly enjoyed all the cinematography and the details and a few of the lesser characters, but the premise was really odd and I felt like a bad person for enjoying a film about a 14-year-old murderer. Saoirse Ronan was pretty incredible though. It makes me want to see City of Ember again. Can you believe that Angela hasn't seen that movie? She hasn't even heard of the book. I think we need to make this a priority, don't you?
Today is my last final day. Since I will not return to JCCC at all in the foreseeable future, I think that I will treat myself to that tea. I am excited to be done with school. It's lasted a long time.

You're a Superstar!
Thanks for doing that song thing. I had it on my to-do list but it kept on getting pushed down by other things (that I still haven't done).
Anyway, if I'm not made completely broke by fixing my oxygen sensor on my car, I'm thinking about buying a flip camera. As corny as this sounds, I've actually wanted to record myself doing some piano things because I'm one of those lamers who uses YouTube to watch piano-playing vids to help me learn songs, only a lot of the songs I want to learn are missing from there. So I learn them anyway (the hard way) and now I want to upload them to help other people.
That was sort of long and didn't make much sense. Sorry. In any case, I'm going to buy a flip camera eventually. It's probably going to be sort of cheap. Then we can sing covers to our hearts' content. But we can't sing any lame ones.
You're right, cars are cool. Now that I spend so much time driving around, I notice them a lot more. I still don't know anything about how any cars actually work on the inside, but they don't all look the same to me any more. Pretty much all I can do is notice that there are three brand-new Camaros I see on a regular basis at school. One of them is black (awesome), one of them is yellow with black racing stripes (pretty cool), and one is bright, bright neon green (awesome to the power of ten). I figured you'd like the last one.
There's also a black Mustang I pass every day on my way to Personal Communication that is made more awesome by the fact that it belongs to a handicapped person. If I had a handicap I, too, would compensate by 1) wearing awesome shoes, and 2) driving awesome cars.

DID YOU KNOW:
When you're on the "Edit Html" tab on the post (it's on the top right corner), if you try to put pictures in, yes, they will come up in code. But they'll still show up as the pictures when you post it. And, this way, it's much easier to move the picture around in the post.

"....it was only a corvette..."
Cars. Are. Cool.
You know, I didn't use to be one of those kind of people.
I tried to upload some pictures of some awesome cars, but it all turned up in code, so that plan failed.
So this summer is going to be all busy busy busy.
I'm doing so much awesome stuff.
Speaking of awesome things that we'll be doing this summer, we have to make that one show awesome by showing our faces and singing our song.
Sydney told me that we should do covers on youtube. I gree.
ANYWHO that fleetfoxes song. Whell, I figured it out because you didn't.
YOU SING THIS VERSE.
Wanderers this morning came by
Where did they go
Graceful in the morning light
To banner fair
To follow you softly
In the cold mountain air
I SING THIS VERSE.
Through the forest
Down to your grave
Where the birds wait
And the tall grasses wave
They do not
know you any (both of us do the "more" thing)more
BOTH OF US SING THIS VERSE.
Dear shadow alive and well
How can the body die
You tell me everything
Anything true
BOTH OF US THING THIS VERSE.
In the town one morning I went
Staggering through premonitions of my death
I don't see anybody that dear to me
WE BOTH SING THIS VERSE.
Dear shadow alive and well
How can the body die
You tell me everything
Anything true
WE BOTH SING THIS
Jesse
YOU SING THIS
I don't know what I have done
I'm turning myself to a demon
WE BOTH THING THIS
I don't know what I have done
I'm turning myself to a demon
THEN COME THE LA-LA-LAS
GOT IT? YUP!

Useless Superpowers!
I was cruising the nets today and I found something really funny. Do you want a superpower? What if the super radioactive gamma rays ended up bestowing a superpower on you that you couldn't actually use? Behold, the humor of the Spanish-speaking peoples:
Here's a translation!
Acid Tears
Invisible in the Dark
Controlling the TV control
Speaking to fruits
Detecting Trash
75% of levitation
Turning on lamps
Attracting Bullets
Read your own mind
Instant Baldness
Anormal Hair Growth
Attraction of Bad Luck
Super-Slowness
Bring dead bugs back to life
Ultra-Fast Aging
Insivible Writing
Super-Strength of 1 second
Turning into a Laptop
Seducing Hats
Desaturation
I personally would like the ability to turn into a laptop. My Spanish-speaking friend would like to be invisible in the dark, because, as she says, "being invisible any time would be useful. Even in the dark." I guess that makes sense.
I sold my books back to the school today. I had a lot of them, like 12 or something. But I only got $74 back. Dumb. The reason it's so little is because I only got $1 or $2 back for the smaller books. It's like robbery. Sigh.
Today I helped a guy with a speech about fuel-effiecient cars. Even though fuel-efficient cars is like the most popular topic for speeches these days, I had a really fun time helping him out because he was writing about a specific kind of car, called the biome car. It's a new Mercedes-Benz concept car that is made of organic materials that are (allegedly) lighter than plastic and harder than steel. It gets ridiculously high mileage because it runs on something called BioNectar (basically sun juice) and, while about the size of a Camry, it only weighs 875 pounds. Not even half a ton. Anyway, we were both skeptical about it, so we ended up watching a whole bunch of YouTube vids about it and reading articles to see if it was really real. It looks like it came out of Tron or something.
Anyway it was really fun. We talked about Tron and I, Robot and Fast Five. This is what I do at work on good days. It's awesome.
Friday. That's when I'll see you. I'm coming home to pull for the market, then I'm leaving again in the evening to go to the Arboretum for a work end-party. So we might not get to party on Friday night. But Saturday night definitely.

Quickie
I just watched Fast Five on my break (I have some crazy breaks). Now I want to go be a badass! And I want Ludacris to be my sidekick.
