If My Heart Was A Compass, You'd Be North

So I just realized today that I haven't posted in well over a month. I fail at life. (Although, to be fair, for at least three weeks of this time period, my computer was broken. I now have a shiny new one <3333)

Things going on in my life right now:

• New courses! This semester I'm taking Chemistry 11, Math 12, Art 11 and Yoga. My Chemistry teacher is crazy; I love Math; Art is easy and slightly repetitive of Art 10; and Yoga is awesome.
   
• DRAGON AGE 2 COMES OUT IN ONE WEEK YAAAAAAAY
   
• I'm now 17! I had a pretty good birthday, although I was sick for it :(
   
• March 30th will be my one year anniversary with Ryan! I'm so excited <3

And... that's about it? God, I'm boring.

I know I haven't posted in FOREVER, but I've has such a busy week. I've accomplished the following:

• Worked on a SGA vid
• Worked on a SGA/AAR crossover fic
• Driven a whole bunch
• Spent hours and hours with Ryan
• GOT MY BRACES OFF.

Yes, I finally got them taken off. I'll have a permanent retainer for the rest of my life, but it's not visible, so it's not a big problem. Here's what my teeth look like (in a rather dramatic shot, because I'm a camera whore):

Today, my aunt threw a party. There was about 50 people there, including family members and people she works with. I brought Ryan with me, and it was lots of fun. My aunt lives on a lake, and she owns a motorboat, so we went tubing a few times (which is where you tie an inner tube to a motorboat and ride along behind at high speeds \o/). They own a three-person tube, so I ended up between Ryan and a another guy named Ryan (who... ironically is also 17 years old and 6'3"...). It was like a Ryan sandwich. Good times.

Now. HarryPotterHarryPotterHarryPotterHarryPotter.

Day 10: Horcruxes or Hallows?
The Hallows are way more awesome. I love mythology, so items from an old legend are incredibly awesome to me. It's like that story about the three brothers who get a flying carpet, a magic mirror, and a magic apple... That was like my favorite story as a kid, idek what it's called. Either way, the Hallows are badass.

Alright, so, I've abandoned the linkbait generator for my titles, because it's rather boring once you've seen all 20 or so titles. Now, I'm going to title them the way Neil Gaiman titles the chapters in Anansi Boys. Because I suck at regular titles. And also I'll be using my full name in them, because I've gotten into the habit of using it again.

Yesterday was my job hunting day. I ran all around town in heels and a skirt for six hours, dropping off resumes and filling out job applications. I applied for fourteen jobs in total, so I'm hoping I get at least one of them. The guy at Dairy Queen says he might be able to interview me on the weekend, so fingers crossed.

Anyway, the main reason for this post is this: The thirty-day Harry Potter challenge which I stole from fizzyblogic.

( The Questions )

Day 1: Your favorite book
I know that most Potter fans will disagree with me, but my favorite book is The Order Of The Phoenix. Everything about it is awesome, although the best part is easily the school's rebellion against Umbridge (especially Professor McGonagall omg, that was the book where I really started to love her). Also, the Department of Mysteries fascinated me to no end when I was a kid, and still does. It was only recently that I realized that each room represented something very simple: Time, death, the future, etc. It's so cool.

Kay, so, I'm apparently not allowed to use rich text. HTML it is!

• I like my boyfriend so very much. ♥
• I have not had time for the internets lately! D:
• I'm still struggling through season 1 of SG-1. I find it so boring =.=
• School is incredibly easy lately. No homework. I likes it.
• Is it bad that lately I've been reading nothing but Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett? >_>
• I've gone over a week without playing Dragon Age. Addiction cured? Probably not.
• SGA IS ON YOUTUBE. I CAN VID. I'm not sure if I've mentioned this already. BUT YAY.
• I definitely need to work on my SGA/AAR crossover. Why is it that I never noticed how often the Genii come up in that show until I tried to exclude them from the story? Not looking forward to introducing them. -.-

I don't normally post excerpts from things I'm working on, but I was REALLY proud of this paragraph, so I thought I'd post it here. It's from chapter 5 of my AAR/SGA crossover.
It took me about forty minutes and a lot of thesaurus work to write that. xD


In other news, my mother promised to let me sign up with a modeling agency as soon as I can pay for it myself! \o/

So today when I came home I happened to glance at the news on the Sympatico home page, and I discovered this. It really pissed me off. I guess that because people at my school are so okay with homosexuality, I forget sometimes that people in other parts of the world are still ignorant and homophobic. It kinda made me realize that I should stop skipping GSA >_>

In other news, Brad is refusing to hang out with me because when he told me he wanted to hang out tomorrow, I replied with "Don't say that unless you mean it". I'm pretty sure that's a valid request after three months of him not hanging out with me. But I'm guessing my temper is not helping the matter. Fml.
