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.
