Well,

NOOOOO!

Winter break is almost over. I got a bunch of books, and we went to the bookstore last week. Yesterday was a pain, though. We had to hang pictures in the san francisco botanical library for the darwin exhibit celebrating darwin's 200th birthday. Mom's art class was picked to do the paintings for it, and she ended up having to do the scans for it.

Actually, it was a pain for mom, who had to do a ton of last minute changes. I had lucked out. Shortly after we got there, one of Mom's classmates brought her tall fire fighter stepson, who hung pictures, and his two daughters, who were little girls. Shortly after they arrived, I was given babysitting duty. I lucked out because of two reasons:

A: They didn't want me to read them a story, which was offered by one of the ladies there, so I didn't have to do that, or anything resembling entertaining them, either, because they could entertain themselves.

B: The real reason I was watching them is so that they did not run around and get in everyone's way. But, both girls were very well behaved, so I basically got an excuse to do virtually nothing, execept humor them with my (?) wisdom in the laws of physics, so that when they tried to pile up cushions and then sit on them, it would not fall over. It didn't work, and the cushion still fell over, but at least I tried.

As stated, I lucked out.

We left to get there at 8:45, and got there around 9-ish. We ended up leaving at 5-ish. Mom didn't even get to have anything to eat for lunch, she spent that entire time working. Worse yet, she says that if the librarian was there, she would STILL be working, even though it was 5:00!

Well,

I decided that tomorrow I am going to start the first part of a rant. For my sanity, I am most likely going to write 40 words every weekday. Every day I miss, the amount I need to write the next day doubles. So I am dividing the rant up into parts, like the smart alec I am. But, I found this thing on someone's sig online, I have to put it up.

Programming today is a race between engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.

So far? I think the universe is winning.

Okay,

I will admit that it said "Don't click" but I did anyway. It's funny. BUT WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T. CLICK. ON. IT.

DO NOT CLICK THIS!!!!!

I saw this and just had to link to it. So I did. So there.

Wow.

Tomorrow is chirstmas. Wow. Where'd the year go, anyway? I mean, wow. The year went by so fast. We got the vette and abby. We got a new cat. I turned 12. Mom and dad turned x and x-3. I enjoyed the year, even though it went by so fast. I wrote a novel. I only thought it was so-so. I got and finished luminous arc 2. Well, actually, to be fair, I got it and played through the althea ending... and now I need to beat the fatima ending and finish with 100%.

I started playing the cello, also.

Yay!

Yesterday I beat luminous arc 2. But, it makes me kind of sad because of the way I beat the final boss.

I used items that hit for 1000 points of damage each time I use them on it. I won, but it made me feel empty, like I was cheating. The boss recovered 350 health a turn, and I could not deal enough damage to negate that.

Yay!

Today is game night day.

About a week ago now, Mom tricked me. She showed me something called chore wars, and told me that I gain experiance by doing chores. So, I said I did the laundry. She asked me if I had put the load of laundry into the washer yet. I was like "WHAT!?!" She told me you do chores in chore wars, and then do them in real life. I was angry. At one point I yelled "You tricked me!" And she said, proudly, "Yep."

*yawn*

Gah mornin. I'm Tired.

But, last night, I made it to 35k in nano. But, Nano is now over. Oh well. I am proud of what I did. So, now I go do math.
