Na'vi and planets

Oe-l nga-ti kame. Yes, I DID just put in Na'vi. And yes, I did copy and paste it from Wikipedia. How did you guess? Na'vi is perhaps the coolest language ever (aside from Sindarin, of course).

By the way, it's the greeting that the Na'vi do: "I See you." What I copied and pasted from Wikipedia. I feel like such a nerd right now...

But let me explain how I got to looking up how to speak Na'vi on Wikipedia/ Google (I know I'm a nerd, but at least I ADMIT it): the dinner table discussion tonight was actually interesting. It was about life on other planets. Apparently some astrophysicist somewhere found some planet that can support human life, but it's about a bazillion light years away.

I also did some calculations on my phone, and even if the sun explodes in 500 million years, we here on Earth will have about 17 years to ship everyone out of the solar system.
That is, if the sun's explosion travels at the speed of light.
And humans have figured out how to ship other humans at the speed of light by that point.
And people haven't already destroyed the earth's ozone layer by abusing the air quality.
And there are still people to figure out how to ship themselves at the speed of light in order to save themselves from the Sun's explosion.
And, of course, if we haven't shipped ourselves out to this unknown planet already.

But it's a really cool thing to think about, isn't it? LIFE ON OTHER PLANETS. IT COULD EXIST.
And that's how we got onto Avatar.
And that's why I'm blogging about Na'vi instead of practicing for my District choir audition in a few weeks.
YAY NA'VI!!!!!!!

bets and dances

Homecoming last night was actually sort of fun. It was a lot better than my school's dance last year, anyway. (this may be because at least the guests had to sign this form that said that if they came to the dance in any state too different from 'teenagers psyced for a dance' mode then they would be kicked out. But probably not.)
Anyway, pictures will be up on facebook sometime in the future. And I wore the heels, by the way. And my feet died.
Other news: on Friday at A block I made a bet with my friend J that if I could help get our friend C to go to Fall Formal this year, J would have to go to TWO school dances. Well, Genius and I were able to convince C to go to fall formal (I think the selling point was that if C got bored, she could hang out with us outside the gym), and so J has to go to two dances. And she's not happy, by the sounds of it. The funny part is that C told me that she was going about 20 or 30 minutes after I made the bet with J.
So.... yeah.
YAY!
