Keeping your refrigerator stocked will get you many women

Best video in the world? Maybe. I am super thirsty now, though.

College Night:
1) Probably the most arlington teenagers I have seen...ever.
2) Probably the most concentrated amount of people I hate.
2.a) (a good place to pointedly ignore people i dislike)
3) Unfortunately instructive.
4) Exhausting.
5) Just another place to kill Ben.

So my college list right now is (in order of enthusiasm):
1) VCU
2) Soka
3) Carnegie Mellon
4) SCAD?
5) UVA
6) W&M
7) CIA? (too cold)

I also scored:
1) A SCAD pen
2) Two CIA stickers
3) A booklet full of excellent illustrations to glue places
4) A giant toothbrush poster

Currently Downloading:
1) Heroes Season 2
2) Sanctuary (basically Canadian Torchwood...I'm hopeful)
3) Forty-Something (something excellent with Hugh Laurie)
4) Donnie Darko

Thank god for iPod video downloading communities on LJ.

Need to watch on iPod:
1) Lost in Austen (high hopes for excellence...it has that ugly girl from Hex though, so...)
2) Prestige
3) Da Vinci Code
4) Robin Hood (BBC FTW)
5) Daria Season 1 (deliciously misanthropic)

Argh my brother somehow got more Dr. Horrible sheet music...must...resist...must...complete...physics lab...

so good

Writer's Block: Church & State

Sun, 28 Sep 2008 21:43:04 GMT

Should church and state always be separate? Why or why not? What should the nature of their relationship be?

So we're getting a hydrogen car. I'm secretly very excited.

Also I might get a job at Marvelous Market. Don't know if it'll work out since it would by 4-7 so I would have to walk to Ballston every day. I should probably walk to Ballston everyday, but still.

Playing Princess Maker, which is quite addictive.

http://www.helloquizzy.com/tests/the-quick-painless-enneagram-test

You chose BZ - your ennegram type is FIVE (aka "The Thinker")
Observers have a need for knowledge and are introverted, curious, analytical, and insightful.

How to Get Along with Me
Be independent, not clingy.
Speak in a straightforward and brief manner.
I need time alone to process my feelings and thoughts.
Remember that If I seem aloof, distant, or arrogant, it may be that I am feeling uncomfortable.
Make me feel welcome, but not too intensely, or I might doubt your sincerity.
If I become irritated when I have to repeat things, it may be because it was such an effort to get my thoughts out in the first place.
don't come on like a bulldozer.
Help me to avoid my pet peeves: big parties, other people's loud music, overdone emotions, and intrusions on my privacy.

What I Like About Being a FIVE
standing back and viewing life objectively
coming to a thorough understanding; perceiving causes and effects
my sense of integrity: doing what I think is right and not being influenced by social pressure
not being caught up in material possessions and status
being calm in a crisis

What's Hard About Being a FIVE
being slow to put my knowledge and insights out in the world
feeling bad when I act defensive or like a know-it-all
being pressured to be with people when I don't want to be
watching others with better social skills, but less intelligence or technical skill, do better professionally

FIVEs as Children Often
spend a lot of time alone reading, making collections, and so on
have a few special friends rather than many
are very bright and curious and do well in school
have independent minds and often question their parents and teachers
watch events from a detached point of view, gathering information
assume a poker face in order not to look afraid
are sensitive; avoid interpersonal conflict
feel intruded upon and controlled and/or ignored and neglected

FIVEs as Parents
are often kind, perceptive, and devoted
are sometimes authoritarian and demanding
may expect more intellectual achievement than is developmentally appropriate
may be intolerant of their children expressing strong emotions

Augh augh augh. CURSE THE INTERNET. CURSE MY WEAKENED WILL. Essayyyyyyyyyyyyy ayayay. BUT the faster I finish this the faster it is ASPHALT FEST the faster it is THURSDAY on which I have only ONE class...that's right, eat it. THE TWIST? It's orchestraaaaaaaaaa.

Movies to see in the future:
1. Ballet Shoes (I KNOW I KNOW but I so grew up with these books...uhhhhhfrommyanthologyofchildrensballetstories NOT A NERD)
2. City of Ember (uh the guy looks le attractiv? also steampunk-y goodness and engineering and A TREASURE HUNT I LOVE THOSE)
3. Ghost Town (not really...uh...crotchety british dude)
4. How To Love Friends And Alienate People (FAVORITE ACTOR EVER OK)
5. Nick&Nora (ohhhhh dear the hipsters will be all over this one)

SO GOOD. *reads too many comics*

Sat, 13 Sep 2008 02:13:34 GMT

Babysitting tonight and tomorrow...HOORAY! No, seriously. First real work since, like, June. Right now I'm listening to obscure Basshunter and the Decemberists' version of "Little Boxes" and wondering if there'll be anything good on TV tonight. Google Chrome finally started working on my computer but I'm not impressed...it's nice and clean, but I dislike their attempt at a Speed Dial-like feature and no Google Toolbar! Also the scroll bar is WAY messed up, for me at least. I've also been spending way too much time looking at all of the Spring 2009 shows on Style.com. It's super nerdy, but I'm going to try my hand at embroidery...I found a cute pattern with a cupcake in a "Virgin-of-Guadalupe" style halo. Hmmm? Physics was not bad today, even though our clock had...issues. Next week I'm going to be able to leave at 1:30 on Thursday again, whoo double lab blocks! Tomorrow is going to be super fun! Turkish Delight! Marzipan! Except maybe babysitting for 6 hours! Frozen pizza! House reruns! Hooray! AND THEN CALCULUS HOMEWORK!

Baking goodness!

Wed, 10 Sep 2008 22:58:50 GMT

I am making, in this order:

Immedietly: Microwave chocolate cake (want the recipe? comment below!)
Saturday: Turkish Delight, marzipan, and semi-angelic cupcakes
In the future: Swedish meatballs (ditto on the recipe), JAMBALAYA

Then I will:

Continue looking at the Fashion Week shows (Betsey Johnson is the winner so far, hands-down)
Watch Bones (as;dlfkj;asldfjk;asldjasldkj)
Try and start stupid freaking english homework
Practice cello (not)
STRESS about clock project!
