seriously

firstly, blogger was being stupid yesterday, so i couldn't post when i wanted to. which really sucks.

second: i know my comments haven't worked in over a week. yaccs' server died, and they had to replace it, which takes time with all the zillion users they have. it's not a huge problem for me, since i've only posted twice or so since then. and guess what? a week after i check and see that haloscan is accepting new signups, they close. which slightly sucks, 'cause i was gonna sign up for an alternate commenting system for when shit like this happens. good news: when i was manic making alex's blog, i signed her up for 3 commenting systems, one of which is no longer in existense, one that she uses (enetation), and haloscan. so for the next few days (hopefully only a few more) i'll use her haloscan account for commenting here.

the net can't find blogspot blogs at the moment. bah.

things like this remind me why i want to change to moveable type.

anyway, on to previous things.

this week started off like shit. first i registered for SATs again on monday, and then find out that i have to take/register for 3 SATIIs by october 30 for UC. (ok, so i knew that i'd have to take at least one SATII, but berkeley's site never gave any concrete info on this subject. that and i have to do this before oct. 30.) this wouldn't have pissed me off so much except that for the huge site berkeley has, it's really hard to find certain information. bitching aside, now i have to figure out how to change my SAT registration for oct 11 so that i take the SATIIs then, and not lose the $28.50 we paid for the SATI registration. which, i realized, i'm pretty fucked on that subject, seeing as how they make you agree to a disclaimer before registering a second time saying that you pretty much don't get the money back if you don't take the test. ah well. if it comes down to it i'll just pay my dad back for the $30 i wasted for not checking UC again before i registered.

monday night i barely ate anything at all, so of course tuesay morning i almost passed out because my blood sugar crashed. i had been really good about actually eating for about four months before this (which is amazing), so this kicked me in the head again that i really have to eat every meal even if the thought of food makes me sick. i really don't want to be diabetic when i'm young. that's the only thing my anticipated hypochondria is raving about lately (i finally got over my mild hypochondria. i got it into my head that i have to stop worrying and do something about it (so much for me and thinking logically)). so for the most part i've been good about my excess sugar intake, and i finally got over my 16 year caffeine addiction. i've been trying to take a lot of vitamin c to help my piercings too. now if i can only get off my ass and get some exercise.

school this week was pretty decent. i actually understand the physics we're doing right now, which is super good since we have a test next week. all in all (except for calc) i'm doing pretty good. i have to start working on quarter projects soon, and reading, and looking at plays for drama. bah. and homework.

highlight of the week: i finally went to zozobra. in all my almost 18 years of life, this year was the first time i actually went. and now it's my new favorite holiday (oh the fire, the pretty pretty fire). while i found it pretty funny that the two big catholic holidays are based on pagan holidays, it's really hilarious how pagan zozobra is (and really fiestas are pretty sketchy if you think about it, the whole spanish "peaceful" re-conquering and all). they can't even start to give any catholic explanation for this one. there was other talk about how zozobra resembles... um... racism and hate crime... but hey, we're just burning a huge puppet! no harm there!

i handled the crowds pretty well, which is odd considering how many people were there. if i'm still home for zozobra next year, i'm totally going.

think i'm getting the cell phone today. my dad really liked the whole pre-paid idea, so we're buying something like $25 worth of minutes for my grandpa to use, upping my mom's minutes to 300, and adding a phone for me and i can share minutes with my mom. now i won't have to worry about running out of gas or getting caught in traffic jams (they're starting tesuque corridor construction this month) and not being able to call someone.

it might not seem like it, but i'm really getting better about not worrying so much.

i've been really good about not pestering my dad for his credit card so i can preorder the ep. i have til the 18th, so it's ok to wait awhile. and i know the connextion will have them in stock, seeing as how that's the only way most all the fans buy flickerstick merch. plus i'm really happy that i can pay my dad back for the cd on the spot, since i still have money left. which reminds me...

oy, apparently after i left the party last night they had a bonfire. and they all didn't get drunk. the one time i anticipate the results of a family party, they end up having a kick ass time. with fire. go figure. that's ok though, i'm sure that there'll be more parties in the future with more than just three of the eight siblings there. next august daniel's getting married (unless some really bad shit happens between now and then). that's sure to be an awesome party.

random thought that isn't really that random: people, if you plan on getting drunk and need someone sober to drive you home, or make sure you don't go kill yourself doing something stupid, or whatever, call me. while i don't enjoy being around drunk people, i'd much rather be around if you happen to need me.

and now i think i've ranted enough to make up for a week of not posting.

the net still can't find any blogspot blogs. bah.

i'm off.
