Club Cooperation, Please (My Lucky 5)?

     Hello, all.  G-star here, typing from the school library with fifteen minutes until school, so I'd better hurry.  Too bad I can't think of much to talk about...let's see, I guess I'll go over my club problem.  It had been my dream ever since I signed up for ____ (my school here) to join a club...or several, in my case.  I've looked at several clubs, and, well, the problem is that I want to join them ALL.  Here's a short list of club's I've checked out and how they went...

      Clubs I've Looked At (So Far)

• Cupcake Club (Seems fun, but too much for my first year, I think)
• Minecraft Club (Ridiculously unorganized, but fun, and nice people)
• Japanese Club (Too outgoing food-wise for me, but...but they have cosplay day... +_+)
• Book/Battle of the Books Club (Everything I've ever dreamed of...and MC's in it!  I had planned to join this one from the beginning, too, but it's a year-long commitment.)

    And that's it.  I can't decide for the life of me!  Added to these, I have Tuesday night bible studies, daily homework, blogging, and, hopefully, free time.  (Hopefully...)  What do you think?  Which one???  Post your opinions in the comments below.  Now, this next part isn't really relevant, but I thought it was kind of cool; last night I was listening to the radio on my MP3 player and a bunch of my favorite songs were playing on different stations, one after the other, not crossing over at all.  Cool, right?  Yeah, I know, not really...  But here's my "Lucky 5" radio playlist (with the stations I heard them on):

      My Lucky 5 Radio Playlist

1.  The Best Song Ever (One Direction; STAR; no, I'm not a fangirl, it's just a great song)
2. Faceless (Red; air1; now THIS is the best song ever!!)
3. The One That Got Away (Katy Perry; Mix; I'm not obsessed, but it's really catchy)
4. Semi-Charmed Life (Third Eye Blind; BOB; one of my favorites for a long time)
5. Into You (Paramore; STAR; I'll never get tired of this song)

      Again, that's it.  Really, not too much happened this week, yet still enough for me to write two different lists...well, I'll see you next week, hopefully with more to talk about.  For now, G-star out.

Early Arrival, Late Start (Library Love).

     Hello, all.  G-star here, writing from high school!  (At least for this first paragraph.  Not that I separate my blog into paragraphs or anything...)  I promised I'd write you a list of clichés I hate, and I will.  Right now, though, I'm a bit worried, since I accidentally took my classmate's French book in my rush to leave the classroom.  ^-^"  And since that's the only class I have with her, and we have homework tomorrow, I'm going to rush during lunch to see if I can find her...I probably won't, though...  Anyway, I'm having a good time so far, although it's going to be a long year for geometry.  The teacher doesn't really teach us much, just gives us work, and doesn't even correct our work!

***************************

I'm back from school.  Sorry, that was a really bad place to stop, but that can't be helped.  Business class was starting.  ^-^  *gets ice cream and settles in*  Alrighty then.  First things first.  This morning I rode my bike to school for the first time (my middle school was too far away) so I could be a little early and work on a picture I'm drawing.  You know how sometimes in manga there are bonus stories where the characters' genders are switched?  Well, it's like that with all the people I've met so far at high school, and, of course, MC.  I'll see if I can post it here when I'm done, though it won't be colored this time.  Anyway, the first day I decided to be early happened to be a "late start" day (have I mentioned this before?) where school doesn't start until 9:30 so the teachers can have a meeting, and the doors don't open until 8:30 (I think they normally open at 8?).  So I sat outside, fortunately for only about ten minutes, since the IHS students (I don't know why only us, but whatever) were let in early.  I checked out the library, and I think I'm going to have a good year...  They have all the manga I can never find at the big libraries, and their fiction genre is extensive!!!  So I'll be riding my bike to school every day (except when it rains, or, of course, on weekends) so I can get there early and check out a manga.  Yaaay, Inuyasha vol. 3.... ||D  Oh, and I had wasabi peas, pickled lotus root, and candied ginger in literature class.  Don't ask.  Just don't ask.  Here's that list I promised, although since some poster children of clichés I name might be offended, I'll just call them clichés I prefer to avoid being/doing/writing.  Enjoy!  Until next week, G-star out.

      Clichés I avoid being/doing/writing:

• The teenager who's always on her phone (I really don't care for texting anyway, and I don't have a smartphone so no apps)
• Wearing layered/poncho tees
• Writing a main character in a dystopian fiction who's a girl (even though I am right now)
• Saying "and/so, like" a lot
• Wearing makeup (mainly because I don't like to...it's annoying, and oily, and easily messed up, and....)
• Writing a cold, arrogant/nervous, shy glasses character (they're too common)
• Social networking (it's too addictive)
• Obsessing over celebrity dating (I just don't see why it's so interesting to complete strangers)
• Hanging out with a clique constantly (it's much more interesting to get to know different people every day)

No Giggling, No Texting, No Stereotyping (A Moment of Silence; My First Finished Fan Art)!

     Hello, all.  Before I begin, I would like to have a moment of silence for those who died today in the Twin Towers catastrophe.  I'd like to, but I don't know how to do that in a blog, so...





     I'll count that as a moment of silence.  Alright, let's get to it. 
     Today was my first day of high school, and it was...interesting.  I believe I'm beginning to understand public school "classes": nerd, jock, preppy, geek, emo, loner, goth.  (Not to be prejudice!)  I used to go to a private school, a very small one, so we were all in the same "class"; I thought of us as a family, but everybody else probably thought of as the school montage.  Unlike most of the grades, none of us were even the slightest bit alike, yet we all got along like, well, family.  In high school, though, the "classes" are pretty much defined by the cafeteria tables, which, by the way, were round, not rectangular, contrary to popular belief.  I ended up sitting with two girls I had made acquaintances with, two more who just sort of showed up and yet still knew my name, and one more girl who seemed not to have any friends yet.  I don't know if I've told you this yet, but I absolutely hate being cliché and/or a stereotype.  In other words, I will attempt NOT be anything like anyone you can read about as a character in almost every fiction book in existence.  Which is why, as you may understand, I was agitated by the fact that all my "friends" thus far were girls, making me "one of the giggling girls".  *-*  NO LIKEY.  I try my best to be a tomboy loner!Yeah, I know I seem obsessive, but that kind of thing really bugs me!  So, since I wasn't talking to anyone at the table anyway (too absorbed in the latest volume of Special A) I decided to go hang out in the courtyard.  Not that there was anything really to do there... I just kind of wanted to find MC.  Later I checked my phone (in my backpack in my locker) and found out that she had texted me during lunch to ask where I was. -_-'  I think I need to use my phone more often...no...that would make me one of the cliché constantly digitally connected teenagers.  Hm, this was originally supposed to be about how my day went, but instead it turned into a rant about my animosity of clichés.  Ah, the freedom of rambling.  Thinking back on it, nothing else I did today was particularly interesting...  I got lost.  Quite a few times.  Once I got lost on the way to the same class I got lost to yesterday at the introduction thingy.  In the exact same way; ending up on the other side of the school from where I was supposed to be.  -_-""  I have a feeling this is going to be a long year.  Oh, and an update on the Death Note fan art I was working on for MC; it's done!  I'll post it in this entry.  (Remember, this blog is copyrighted, so no using it for avatars/signatures/backgrounds/character bios, please!  Or anything else!!  Credit for Light and L goes to the respective author.)  Next week I'll post another update on how school's going, and possibly a list of clichés that drive me nuts.  For now, G-star out.

Mini-Ramble: Last Day of Summer

     Gaaah, tomorrow's the first day of school!!  I suppose it doesn't really count, since it's only an introduction for freshmen and will (hopefully) not involve any schoolwork, but it's still the beginning of the end.  By sheer coincidence, I have a song on my MP3 player called "Last Day of Summer" by Action Item and I've been singing it all day.  I don't know if you have started school yet, or if you still have a week (lucky dogs), but I hope we all have a great year, and for all you freshmen/sixth graders ...good luck.  Here's that song I mentioned.  Enjoy, and don't lose hope!  G-star out.

P.S.: Don't worry, I'll still write up my big Wednesday post... I just felt this was important.

Digital Design and Accidental Advertising (The Battle of the Otakus).

     Hello, all.  Well, in my book, it's officially the school year!  Aaaah....  As I'm a freshman, I attended...well, not really an orientation, but I received my Student ID, school picture, and class schedule.  My first class is Geometry, at 8:30 in the morning.  Dag, this is gonna be fun.... ;_;  Originally, I had signed up for a new elective called (insert my school here) Idol.  I was going to learn the basics of stage singing, microphone use, etc., etc., (I'm a relatively amateur singer, by the way,) but instead I was put in something called "History of Rock and Roll" since that's almost all that would fit my schedule, which I think would be more boring than the title implies, especially since I prefer techno. B]  Speaking of techno, I was recently introduced to a couple bands (made by the same person) that specialize in techno, and they're really good.  One, Eleventyseven, can be found on iTunes, but you have to do a little searching for the other one, The Jellyrox.  Comment with a request and your email and I'll send you a link to one of their old songs to download (they don't sell them online anymore, so they're not pirated, no worries)!  Check out Rhett Gedies on Google+ if you like them, he's in (if not the President of) the Jellyrox fan club, and you can get more music and even t-shirts from him!  *ahem*  Sorry, that was off-track.  Anyway, since I never signed up to learn about Elvis's personal life, I switched to "Digital Media Design".  In other words, I get to make blogs like this for grades!!  Awesome, right??  Yeah...um... *goes off and listens to Demons*  Hi.  I thought that might be an appropriate place for a pause.  Miss Cappuccino is currently on a houseboat somewhere, reading a thick book, so since she couldn't go to get her schedule, I'm waiting with bated breath for her return so we can compare classes (we will be attending the same high school)!  Speaking of MC, I'm currently working on some fan art for her and I might post it on here if I can figure out how to color it on Paintshop.  Not that I don't know how, I'm just not very good at it.  At ALL.  I prefer colored pencils, especially these cool watercolor ones MC got me for my birthday.  If you go over them with a wet paintbrush they look like watercolor paints, although I couldn't do that unless I drew my art on watercolor paper, and that stuff's surprisingly expensive...  In any case, it's Death Note fan art with MC cheering for L and myself for Light.  I haven't watched the anime for a while, but I did see a good portion and we just happen to each favor one of the lifelong enemies.  So it's a constant battle of "Light's cooler!" and "L's cuter!".  If you watch Death Note, tell me what you think in the comments below.  Who's better?  Light or L?  You tell us.  See you next week; for now, G-star out.
