Well...

The fires have gone, but now it's time for the mudslides...

Guitar hero III IS Addicting, steph. I'm currently halfway through hard. Favorite songs so far: My Name Is Jonas-Weezer (Favorite song of all time, though), Even Flow-Pearl Jam, Prayer of the Refugee-Rise Against, Helicopter-Bloc Party (Co-op only), Bulls on Parade-Rage Against the Machine, and i'm amazed that the sex pistols rerecorded Anarchy in the UK for the game.

I just downloaded this new john mayer song, called Say. It's pretty good.

Not again!?

I poked my nose out the window this morning. Smoky.

Slightly curious, I turned on the radio. They were saying something about a fire in Malibu. I groaned.

Remember, last time that portended what was later called a "firestorm" by just about everyone I've heard from.

(note: an attempt at nonfiction narrative... to be continued in next posts (if I remember))

Okay

I just made some "pumpkin bread"...

and made a poll (the previous one was "what is your name? steph, KC, or other") to judge the uselessness of the previous poll.

And I posted a really odd video I found on the Internet. About going everywhere in the universe to try to get to some Target sale. Something like that, anyway.

HEY!!!

Well, so much for "twice a week"

Nick here.
Well, the new streetlight manifesto album came out today: AMAZING.
uhh, i dunno what else to say, i'm just checking in....

hellooo

woot!!!!

IT'S OVER! CO-OP IS OVER! I NEVER HAVE TO TUOCH ANOTHER ON OF THOSE STUPID PREP BOOKS AGAIN!

it was easyyy i'm soo getting a scholarshippp like my sister!

by the way, CO-OP stands for Cooperative Admissions Exam ((i think)) . why they didn't call it the CAE is beyond me.

i'm worried though, because i might have got one wrong! it would be on the pic. analogies because i couldn't tell what the picture was...

it's like "return of 3rd grade phonics" . i always got 70s on phonics tests because i couldn't tell what the pictures were. like is it a broom or mop??

well the anaolgy picture was of a lumpy looking oval. i think it was a peach pit, but i'm not sure. ha..

hmm the SSAT sounds kinda like the CO-OP.

that reminds me of the SAT i took last year for some other john hopkins thingy. anyone else take it? i got a 7 on the essay (( ='[ )) and did sad on the math but really good on the reading. i don't remember the scores.. i'll look for them.

well...

what's a 1st friday treat?? i don't get it. we have mass on every 1st friday, is that the treat?

well, good luck to all with everything,
St3ph

Well, that's over... or is it?

All the fires have now been contained. That should be a good thing.

But...

Those pesky Santa Ana winds are supposed to be blowing on and off and on for the next month. At least.

Meanwhile, life has gone back to normal for most people (the "Governator" responded well!), and now we have a new Allstate commercial to show for it. Why?

Blown over

The fire danger has passed, but I hear that the Santa Ana winds are supposed to pick up again this weekend (tho they haven't yet). This means, KC, that those fires may or may not continue burning everywhere. Currently they have been contained (surrounded), which means that not much should happen now. Just keep fingers crossed (knock knock).

SSATs

SSATs suck. I took them today... SATs are so much easier than SSATs, surprisingly. Everything was pretty easy, but the vocab! UGH! I know most of the words, but some of the definitions didn't match! GAH GAH GAH. I could make a song describing how stupid the test was. I mean, it's not SUPPOSED to be stupid, cuz it's a required test to get into certain high schools, but still. It's stupid in my mind, and all of my friends' minds, and everyone who has take this test's mind. But at least the guys were there too. Afterwards, at least. But I hate how you can't talk about the test between breaks! Although, it does make sense... cuz then you could go back and change your answer... BUT STILL. I hate SSATs.

Oh yeah, for those of you who don't take this test, SSAT stands for Secondary School Admissions Test. It's for regular high schools, like those non-Catholic high schools. But I also have to take the HSPT (High School Placement Test) for those Catholic high schools. Or religious high schools. Or something. And maybe the whatever-test for the public school my mom is making me look at cuz the people there are super geniuses.

BLAH.

Steph, do you get First Friday treats (for religion)? Or is that just a my school thing?

Gotta go eat lunch. And maybe buy my friend her present for her birthday party tomorrow... And a card... At least I finished my homework yesterday after school.

OMG we had an earthquake a few days ago (5.6 magnitude) and it was so long!!! Like 45 seconds!!! For you non-earthquake-area-living people, 45 seconds is actually a really long earthquake. I'm sure you can find an article about that earthquake somewhere, especially since it's being broadcasted all over the news here in San Francisco.

I really hope the fires down in south Cali die down soon. I have friends who live there. And friends whose houses are down there even though they're in San Francisco now.

KC

Ick

school's been keeping me busy ((surprise, surprise))

i've not really much to say except have any of you dealt with hysteric teachers?

like my religion/social studies teachers cries a lot. it's weird. and she always has puffy cheeks. i diagnose she's on some steroid medication.

ugh school's as pointless as ever.

6 days til i take the CO-OP!!!! ahh wish me luck. it's on nov. 9

tata pplz

nanowrimo

My dad recently discovered this contest-like thing on the web. It's a thing called NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). It's where you sign up and get an account, and you have to write and submit a novel of 50,000 words in 30 days. It started on midnight November 1. It's not supposed to be a really well written novel....its going for quantity more than quality I think. Anyway, the link is http://www.nanowrimo.org/. I thought some people who are writers here might be interested.
