In praise of Friday

Hooray for Friday, the end of the week!
Hooray for Friday, the end of the struggle!
Hooray for Friday, the start of the weekend!
Hooray for Friday, the start of Saturday!

Yeah, and now I am out of lines. So I will stop. Is it just me, or did last week seem a lot longer than this week did? I mean, the only major events this week were orchestra, Japanese class, the Meet and Greet for NaNo, and my lesson today. Not like last week, where we had something large that we had to do to every day of the week. Like doctor's appointments. Or something similar. Over these past two weeks, starting from last Monday, we have had 9 days in a row of stuff. Not exactly the most restful or fun week I've ever had.

Halloween

Today, I am to blag about Halloween. I have decided to blag about the history of Halloween, after stating what my costume is.

I am going as Aizen Sousuke from Bleach, post-soul society arc. I am going as him because I like the character, he wears glasses, and has the same hair color as me.

Halloween is essentially a large ploy on the part of the candy and costume selling companies to sell way more candy and costumes then they normally would, with the candy just being at movies and the costumes being for like, cosplay things on something. It would not sell at all. So, they have their sell lots of candy thing.

What I am currently reading

Currently, I am reading two things: the icon for my blag as I am posting a new post, and all of the little tabs above it. I was previously reading my schedule, so that I know what Mom wants me to blag about today, and before that I was reading the inside of my eyes. That book has some pretty cool colors on the cover.

The book I am currently reading is The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins. It is a very interesting book, and I find it to be quite entertaining. I think it establishes a good post-apocalyptic world vibe, and I find it be quite the good read.

Two Things That I Worry About

So, today, Mom has told me to blag about two things that I worry about. So, here they are:

1: The future of our country. We are in an economic recession. We have this large paranoia about terrorists. We are getting to the point of being willing to sacrifice our liberty for a false "safety". We do not care about the environment, at least not as much as we should, and the big businesses only care about making more money. Our public school system is horrid, the country is stupid. We are all obsessed with pointless religion. It is fearful for what direction we are going.

2: Doing a music performance and sounding bad, and then having people clap anyway. I don't want to sound bad and get rewarded for it. It makes me feel bad. I would much rather do a bad performance and get told that, than to know that the audience just doesn't care what I do.

The Chamber Music Recital

In the chamber music recital yesterday, I performed the Shostakovich Quartet No. 1, 1st movement with my quartet. We sounded really good, especially when the cellist figured out that he was a measure ahead and got back on halfway through the first page. The solo never happened. Don't ask about it.

Seriously, don't. It was really bad.

NaNoWriMo

I am really looking forward to NaNoWriMo this year. I mean, sure, I probably said the same thing last year and the year before, but I feel like I am more excited this year than last. I know I say that every year. I just am really looking forward to NaNo. I've been spending time fleshing out my female lead, because I know that she is a rather flat character right now. I want a strong female lead, not a doormat. Doormats are no fun. They tend to die in my world. With nobody complaining. Because no-one likes them. Because the never do anything of worth. Besides stand there and go "Oh, (insert hero name here)!" and then get kidnapped.

In my world, the hero would just say "Screw you" and not bother saving her. Because nobody liked her anyway.

Cancer

Cancer is when you have a cell or group of cells are displaying uncontrolled growth. Recent developments have caused cancer to be drastically reduced in terms of the overall threat that it poses. It was previously pretty much a death sentence to have cancer. Nowadays, cancer is pretty much the same as any other ongoing medical condition. Take a pill every night, and you will have it well contained. This is an interesting, as well as good, thing.
