Lucky. I had to ask my partner, which was even more awkward.

@Grom: They actually have prom in Australia?! Shocked

My mind is blown.

Yup. I'd post pictures, but then Hawk would be able to find me.

And from what I hear he went out using his wife (and two other women) as a human shield anyway, so I guess he wasn't too worried about how all of this would affect his family. Besides, all those kids you're talking about who are going to grow up hating America were going to be brainwashed into hating us anyway, I highly doubt that kids living with bin Laden were going to grow up and somehow manage to not hate America. Also we killed one of his sons, so that's one less person who's going to be traumatized!

America is the only country in the world that could kill the world's most wanted terrorist and still have to listen to people bitch and moan about how we did it wrong.

Perhaps a bit late, but I agree wholeheartedly.

Spoiler'd so you don't have to read it if you don't want to.

As for my latest feats, I'm trying to finish school by May 20th, so I can have about a week and a half of true summer break before my summer social insanity begins. It's going good. I've been doing a weeks worth (seven lessons) of geometry in two days for the past week or so.

Ooh, let's talk about Prom again.

I got my tux the other day. I got a double-breasted satin-lapel'd deal. I need a satin top hat and a nice thin bowtie, though...

I was supposed to ask my girfriend out in a very public way, but I didn't feel like it (I forgot). Instead, I waited for a while, 'til she was really just curious as to how / when I would actually do it, then I made her some (delicious) brownies with a LEGO P R O M and a question mark on them. I thought it would be a nice (easy) way to add my own little flair.

And she still hasn't given me the parts back ... >_>

Life kinda sucks right now.

Sister's in the hospital, family's so strapped for cash we had the power turned off, everyone's super stressed, and I have enough problems of my own (school, life, girls, to name a few) and would rather not have to deal with my mom and dad nagging me about every freaking thing.

Yeah, I'm even more confused than you are... :S

(Note: Finnish is a unique language, in other words, only Finns or those that have studied Finnish can have any clue what the fuck they're saying... I personally know only one sentence because it was printed on the heater (Do not cover in 50 languages) and the Finnish equivalent to 'shit'. Ei saa peiisaa and perkele, respectively)

As far as I know, the only thing Finland and Japan have in common is that they've both got problems with nuclear reactors, Japan with trying to fix one and Finland with trying to build one...

Oh FYI, I'm a Dutchman living in Norway. Just so everyone knows that. (I am not a Finn)

As it turns out, I will be graduating in the top tenth percentile of my class. I dropped out the bottom this semester, but it looks like I'm back in! Yay me!

Our principal announced it today after the AP English Literature and Composition test (Muffy, did you take this one? Some of the essays threw me for a loop at the end...).

I'm number 51 out of a class of 507.

Woop woop!

GAAAHHHH!!!!! What is that thing?! -pulls out shotgun-
lol. I didn't know that Finnish was such a unique language. Hungarian is based off of it, though, so I'd imagine that Hungarian speakers might be able to understand some of this song.

Haha, no, I only took one AP class this year. Yaaaay. Smile

A few things have been happening over the last few days. As I mentioned earlier I have a prom date and we've been making arrangements and whatnot for the past week or so, I'm going to get my tuxedo tomorrow, I chose what university I'm going to a week ago (I might have mentioned that already) and just last night I found out that I'll be living in a quad with three other people, and started chatting with one of them on Facebook. He likes Four Year Strong so he can't be all bad.

Today I just played a lot of Mortal Kombat with LCC, watched the new paintball episode of Community, and stepped on top of some people in an effort to climb a big tower. The activities we have to do in my Graduation Project class are weird.

So ... I saw Fast Five with some of my friends.

It was pretty awesome in that way that only guy-flicks can be.

It made me want to scream obscenities, look menacing, punch people in the face, and drive fast cars.

Nirdian Sun May 08, 2011 10:29 am

Finished Portal 2's campaign today...

Spoiler:

Then I watched Tropic Thunder. Twas lulz. Razz

Grombrindal Sun May 08, 2011 10:39 am

I'm really over the whole pony thing SSLF has going. I mean, I can accept the avatars to a degree, but when EVERY POST contains a pony .gif (even in entirely irrelevant topics), well...

Anyway, I'm in the process of planning a new RP for the SSLF (you guys get Nerves of Steel, so no whining Razz

), set in a 'weird West' setting. So there'll be cowboys, injuns and bone golems duking it out. Just refining my character system to make it a bit less number-intensive.

Ya know, eventually, I'll finish Pokémon Blue, I swear.

Oh, and I saw Thor (apparently, that's all I do; watch movies) and it was nice. The music was really neat. I loooove a good french horn section... ~

You'll have to come to SSLF, then (my evil plan is REVEALED!) Razz

French horns are cool, but I like trumpets more. After all, everybody's heard of this guy:

I'll be away from monday till friday next week, just a heads up.

Good news: I'll be in Berlin.

Bad news: No legoz, no webz, no PORTAL, no nothin'. :/

The Magic Tuba Pixie Sun May 08, 2011 12:50 pm

Oh my gosh guys look at this it's so cool:

It's me. But one of my good friends, an incredible artist, made it for me. She's off in college, and I don't see her a lot anymore ( :< ), but we still communicate on Facebook. She's so awesome!

PS: I'm putting this in my Signature. I hope you guys don't get too distracted when trying to read posts (like I do with .gif signatures...)

Today I had nothing to do so I sat around the house and made some trades with my team in MLB 2K11, because sometimes just watching baseball isn't enough for me. A while later my brother and I went shopping for my mother for Mother's Day. I have a feeling that she won't like everything we bought for her, but hopefully she'll still be grateful because I came back broke...that's probably because I had to pick up the first season of Justified for myself before I left, but I still spent more than $100 on her, which is more than my dad was ever willing to spend on her when I used to go shopping with him. When we got home my brother and I had a four-hour Justified marathon...and we're not even done the first disc yet!

I'm beginning to find that I'm spending less and less time on SSLF and the computer in general.

Nirdian Sun May 08, 2011 11:24 pm

Quick MOC before I have to start packing and stuff.

For god's sake! You're boxes, with LEGS! It- it's literally your only purpose! Walking onto buttons. How can you not do the one thing you're designed for?!

One of the many reasons why Portal 2 is totally the Game of the Year (if not even Game of all Times). :3

Soo...

Carmina Burana, Scenic Cantana by Carl Orff (on Peabody Conservatory Winde Ensemble, Orff: Carmina Burana Suite) came up on my Pandora. I immediately had to drop everything and listen in awe.

PS, it's also known as O Fortuna.
