Bleah. First off, I'm getting tired of leaving my Dad's house angry. I always go there thinking that I've exaggerated the troubles within my mind, and that it couldn't possibly be that bad... then I go there, and he CONSISTENTLY proves me wrong. I leave in a huff, and through the following week I cool off just enough to start the cycle over again. DAMMIT. Somebody stop the ride, I wanna get off. ><
Second, I finished Son of a Witch. And... I loved it. ^____^ I especially liked the romance between Liir and Trism, I thought that was really cool. And it's completely different from the first book in that-- Wicked pretty much gave closure and catharsis to the story, and a sequel was the last thing I expected, so that when I saw there WAS a sequel, it surprised the hell out of me. But Son of a Witch leaves NOTHING closed, there are just so many little things left open, they all coalesce, so that the ending is just one big loose end-- so now it feels like there HAS to be another book, when there's little to no chance there will be. Dammit. But I loved it.
Third, snow. Since I couldn't get on LJ last week, I couldn't write about it, but there was SNOW last week. HERE. That's saying something-- we don't get much in the way of snow where I live, and last year was an especially bleak year in that sense. But on Tuesday, we got a TON of snow, about during third period. That's AP Lit for me, and the flakes were absolutely huge. Ms. Dann was trying to keep us concentrating on the discussion, but everybody was distracted by the snow, so finally she let us get it out of our system-- "Alright, everybody, I want you to write down one simile to describe the snow. Write it on your notes." My simile-- the snow is like a shower of feathers. (And it really WAS.) That's when I thought to myself, If I see a red one, someone's gonna DIE. (I can feel Michael disowning me for that. XD) But yeah. We actually went outside into the snow during that period, because we were reading lines from a play and we had to shout. Got soaked, naturally. Then I saw Michael outside acting like an idiot, catching snowflakes on the tongue and such. Brilliant.
That snow didn't last long, though-- in fact, it had died by the end of that period. BUT. It snowed a TON on thursday (started at about the same time as on tuesday), and it stuck, and hung around all day. Next day was a snow day, but I would just as soon have gone to school for all the fun I had. The snow stubbornly resisted melting completely all weekend, even though not enough remained for another snow day. Not that I minded terribly.
Parental units have been bugging me about a christmas list. Ironically, I always have a hard time thinking of stuff to put on these lists, since I usually lack an idea of what to ask for. Buh, whatever.
Before I forget-- I have been inspired by Taylor to write about a geeky .hack-related dream I had this weekend. Well, it's only a snippet of a dream-- I can't recall dreams with the length and accuracy that Taylor apparently can. >___<
Okay, pretty much the only thing I can remember from this thing was a fight between me and some unknown Player Character. For some reason, I was a Heavy Blade (IRL I would tend towards Wavemaster >.>), and the person I was fighting was a Pole Arm. I had a generic Heavy Blade weapon, and this person had two weapons-- a gigantic Halberd, which must have been like ten feet long (which makes it all the more amazing that he wielded it with a single hand O.o), and a one-handed sword with a blade in a sort of triple-helix pattern (Picture a strand of DNA, but add another spiral). He fought quite effectively with both weapons, but I found that the length of the Halberd turned out to be an advantage to me-- since it was so long, I was able to turn it aside with my blade much easier (simple physics, as I thought while in the dream-- it's like a lever). However, I also had to pay attention to the sword, and I found that I couldn't keep up an offense and defense at the same time; when I focused on not letting myself get hit, there was no opening to attack, and when I focused on attacking, even when I whittled his HP down to half, he managed to take a sizable chunk out of mine. But just when it seemed I was winning, and was about to strike the final blow... He used a potion on himself, and restored his HP to the maximum. Then, for reasons unknown, he used one on me. So the whole battle had been pointless. If anything happened after that, I can't remember it.
As a brief aside, I saw the Viewtiful Joe anime this saturday. Scary.
God. Ever notice how I don't make an entry unless I have a ton of stuff to say? that's why I don't update very often. >__<;; Guh, I need to shorten my entries.

Like the one time I dreamed that the main hallway at Sumner had a rail down the middle of it, and it was at a slant and it was a valid mode of transportation to slide down the ramp to your next class.
That and all of my friends from Oklahoma were there XP
