and back again from the procrastinator...

I've just learned that you can also play with cool stuff here. It's really kind of lame that I've only just realized that you can do this... I mean, I've known for a while that you can play with color, but I've never really tried to use the other cool shindigs for a while.  I didn't even KNOW I had strike through until today, I don't think... I'm so lame, not realizing this until now...

Yes, I know where I should be

Yes, I know, I'm supposed to be doing homework. But I'm in a particularly anti-homework mood, so I'm here blogging instead. Like usual when I'm in an anti-homework mood. And when I'm hungry. And when I've just finished cleaning my room. But especially when I'm in an anti-homework mood because I'm hungry after cleaning my room, for example, right now. Go figure. Anyhow, I'm also kind of bored because, aside from homework and "Glee" later, I have nothing to do aside from blogging. And maybe going and getting some pretzels or something to eat. Or something.
And as a general FYI, I may or may not be posting an update (probably the latter) on the days when I have musical rehearsal, because of circumstances like the one that happened yesterday with the epic staying-up-late-and-feeling-tired-now-but-normal-ish thing. Especially because I probably won't have time to write a lot of NaNoWriMo anyway (BOO!), so there probably won't be anything to tell you about except for maybe how tired I am and how sorry I am that I didn't post the day before or something. And how I should be doing my homework and that I am perfectly (not) content with staying up until midnight again if I have to.
I've noticed something as well, though.
Unless I get just enough sleep to start dreaming, I don't normally feel tired when I miss sleep until late afternoon. For example, now I'm really tired from the staying up late last night, but this morning I was fine. Probably partially due to the fact that I had caffeine this morning.

And yes, I know, I didn't post yesterday. I'm sorry. I had a TON of things to do. First it was the first musical rehearsal, from which I had to leave early (I thought my bit was over, but it wasn't, so I accidentally left before my lines as the pivotal role of The Waiter) to go to a black belt kup test (it went okay, aside from the board breaking. We have to do the sparring next week or the next time we go or whatever), and then I had to eat and sit down and write an AP essay that took me 3.5 hours because it had to be handwritten and it was assigned YESTERDAY and was due TODAY. Yeah, not a lot of time for blogging and writing yesterday. However, the rehearsal and the AP essay were my main sources of panic, and now those both have passed with somewhat success. Well, rehearsal did, anyway. Whether I get good grade on my essay is yet to be seen. And whether she can actually understand my handwriting is another issue. It also happened to be my first super-late night for homework. I usually feel like the only junior who normally doesn't stay up until a quarter to midnight or later doing homework - even my brother did it when he was a junior - but I could be wrong. It's just kind of awkward when people are like, "Yeah, I was up til 3 last night doing my AP US essay/ studying for the AP English test/ doing NaNoWriMo!" And I'm just like, "Um... I did my AP US essay before nine, I'm not in AP English, and I did my NaNoWriMo quota during my free blocks..." It's really awkward because it feels like I'm the only one in my group of friends - or in my grade, for that matter - whose lamp is usually out by 11 on school nights. (However, we were visited by our old middle school friend on Halloween, and she said she felt the same way, so that was kind of nice, especially as she goes to a 'normal' school and is taking all IB courses... not sure how IB compares to AP, but I know it's hard).
And, unless I want to repeat yesterday night (I don't), I'm going to go clean my room and do my homework so I can watch Glee tonight. YAAY!!!
