Victory Road closed on January 8, 2018. Thank you for making us a part of your lives since 2006! Please read this thread for details if you missed it.
I'm about to celebrate right now. It turns out that Canada gets the EBGames/Gamestop Meloetta event for over 20 days longer than the US, UK and Australia! I thought I had missed it (and was deeply saddened), but in reality it doesn't end until April 19th! What a stroke of luck. Yay!
Also, good luck, Velly. I hope it goes well. :3

Sooooooo I'm Glad it's finally over ![]()
2 – SpikyEaredPichu96, Fubab_107I just got back from the most awesome concert in the history of all mankind.
What concert could possibly be this epic you might ask? Nothing other than Weird Al, of course. He did all of his famous parodies (White & Nerdy, Eat it, Amish Paradise). The best part? He came down into the crowd during one song, getting up close to people...and he crawled into my mom's lap, singing directly to her!

My classes have been most easy and fairly boring. I'm getting the hang of this math thing now that I pay attention in class. Math is really simple... I think I'm actually really excited to finally see my report card. I won't get it on the day that they give it out though, I'm going to university for a week! I was one of 3 in my grade chosen to sign up and take some courses for a week at a local university. Funnily enough, the other two people happen to be my best friend (Jenna/Gamernamerjj) and one of our very close friends! We all hang out together everyday, so it must be something in the water.
You should move to Canada. It's 12°C (54°F) right now! This is the most beautiful weather ever, but the 2+ feet of snow is beginning to melt...Well. I have off for tomorrow, but I have to go to math (freshman math in 8th grade at a high school). I think I might be going to see Scary Movie 5 with some friends sometime during the day. Recently, I've been playing a lot of Megaman 2 and X. I got to the end of Wily stage 2 in 2 and I'm debating on whether or not the get the Hadouken in X.
I am going to be in Penn state for 4 days going to student acceptance days at 2 colleges. :3
Best part....I miss 3 days of school. ![]()
2 – SpikyEaredPichu96, JDxImpetusProbably two or so pages late... But...
Good luck on that surgery Vel.

I just realized that I really should get out more, but I'm also really, really sweaty. I hate getting drenched in sweat every time I spend more than 10 minutes outdoors, but I want to shoot photos. Oh well.

There's been two bombings at the Boston Marathon today. So far, two deaths have been confirmed, and numerous others injured. No confirmation yet about who is behind this, it could be terrorists or just random nutjob.
...what the hell is wrong with people?!?!
5 – Eagles, SpikyEaredPichu96, Reuniclus, Cat333Pokémon, Velociraptor78To think I was driving back home from colleges about an hour ago. I'm so glad I went through New York city instead going around to take a ferry. o_o
This incident is all over the news; there are a lot of people who were injured. I can't help but feel like the entire world is starting to fall apart.
3 people are confirmed dead, and 125 are hospitalized. They also found and dismantled 5 more bombs throughout Boston and the surrounding area. Some near Harvard, others near hospitals. This was entirely planned and there was indeed a purpose for them doing this, whoever they are. I'd like to warn anyone who plans on looking into it more; the pictures and videos are very gory, not meant for the squeamish.
For what purpose could someone have to bomb the Boston Marathon? I mean, some people bomb locations because they conflict with their beliefs (e.g. Religious extremist bombing abortion clinic), but what about this? I have a hard time believing that running a marathon could conflict with someone's beliefs and I doubt a marathon would've insulted someone personally (unless that person was a Persian from 490 B.C., but that doesn't seem likely either). Only logic reason I could see for someone wanting to do this would be this: They are insane. They are sick and twisted and most likely just want to watch the world burn.
The worst part about this is how it's going to affect the next Boston Marathon. Think about it - because of this, security is going to be extra tight for the next Marathon and the entire city is going to be under lock-down for the next Marathon.
That was terrible. It's nice to see people posting on Facebook on how they're praying and stuff though. My prayers are definitely out to those who were affected. and @Lux, yeah I saw a picture on my Instagram of a guy in a wheelchair with only one leg getting pulled to an ambulance... Very sad ![]()
Yesterday I went Chipotle all the way out in West Hartford and had a long hiring process that I'm still waiting on.
However today after handing in barely any info on a job application last and one phone call a minute go I am now an employee at Chute Gates Steak House right here in my own town.

I heard something on the English news about a fertiliser plant blowing up in Texas. If any of you are affected, I hope you are ok.

When I read about this a few days ago, I was like, "of all the news to meet me at the morning..."
Seriously, it makes me wonder why the heck terrorists still exist >.< Makes you wonder what if they were removed from the world the next instant. I can't stand them and their don't-care-about-everyone-else attitude.
Stay safe, Boston.
And let's not get started on conspiracy theories. I don't want to talk about them.
Turns out one of the two suspects of the Marathon Bombing was shot and killed by police earlier this morning. The other suspect managed to get away. This happened in an area near Boston and there was a big shootout. I also heard the town where it happened was evacuated completely.
Yeah, they apparently came here from Russia, and they have some sort of "ballistics training." No one's sure if they're crazy and just happen to be Russian, or if they were sent here by the Russian government or a Russian terrorist group. I really doubt it was the Russian government, because they really aren't ready to spark any sort of conflict. But we did find those Russian spies a couple years a go, so I'm not sure.
I just don't want ANOTHER military conflict in the world.
Guys, no matter how bad the world gets (within a reasonable spectrum), remember what Abe Lincoln said:
"No matter how much cats fight, there always seem to be plenty of kittens."

I finished iiiiiit~! This is that Twelve-Tone Sudoku puzzle from before. But I had to print out a new grid that just had letters instead of the staff. This was really fun, I NEED MORE. I'm thinking of converting regular 12x12 puzzles to these.
3 – Cat333Pokémon, Eagles, TwiggyWow, finally back from the college fair. It was pretty sweet going out and seeing how it is. But I think I let go of my fear TOO much. Now I want to be done with my stupid high school already. I can't take it, I confuse myself too easily.
And on an unrelated note, ONE OF THE SCHOOLS HAD BUGLES. THOSE "CHIPS" GIVE ME SO MUCH NOSTALGIA. They even had a CARAMEL flavor! I don't know what's up with that, but they sure were delicious~ Oh, how it's been years~
So I finally got fed up with my headset's speakers only projecting sound in one ear or the other and rarely both, so I replaced it with a headset I've had nearly as long, but have only used once before.
Is it more comfortable? Yes.
Does it make me feel stupid wearing them because of how large they are? Double yes.
Is the sound quality any better? No, but at least the sound is being projected in both ears always.
I need a new headset, but can't afford one. /firstworldproblems
2 – TurtwigX, TwiggyLol. Today my new Earth Science teacher (old one gave birth and is currently off) was drawing Jupiter and its spot. He drew it, then added the rings and in the middle of drawing he turned around and said "no guys, this is not meant to look like a Pokeball.", trying to be all funny and stuff cause he's a young awkward little fellow that tries to joke with us.. I was the only one that let out a chuckle ;-;

What's your current headset, by the way? There are good deals for less than $50 if you know where to look.

So this happened today
Only reason this is interesting for me is because this is t he first time I've even seen a Nevada license plate, so what are the odds it's from Henderson.
But I know that Cat, Yoshi and Green Man are to busy preparing for finals to get start stalking me.
Also I my dad got an interview in San Diego so I might move there.
I got third place today in the 200 meter dash (It was the first time I ever ran it.) So through out the whole track season I got a grand total of... ONE POINT!
1 – TurtwigXWelp. Wrestling is taking over my life, I go mondays, tuesdays, wednesdays, thursdays and sundays. then karate on sundays. This actually kind of sucks but whatever... What doesn't kill you makes you stronger right?
1 – JDxImpetushad an accident with my car awhile back and now the front air filter fell off recently because of that accident so it looks like my car has an evil smile =3, her name is sheena =p
Yes i named my car seemed right =3
but other than that, just finished 3 uni projects and have the exam next week . . . so playing some games to relax, while i wait for my other games to arrive =3
Well, all of my AP exams are now over! I know I should be feeling happy, but I feel otherwise for some reason. Some people can be completely frustrating to work with, especially when they keep pressuring you. (I already had a meltdown earlier today, so I'm bracing for a 2nd one later >_<)
3 – JDxImpetus, Cat333Pokémon, EaglesI only had one AP exam and it was on Tuesday for AP Computer Science. I thought it was a fairly easy test aside from one of the questions on the free-response portion.
A friend of mine decided to take four AP tests for some crazy reason. She actually had to get ice on her hand because part of it started to swell up today.
Wait. i just noticed, school is almost over. That's actually crazy, I feel like this year just started o.o

I know EXACTLY what you mean. I haven't even been promoted yet and I'm already catching senioritis. I just feel so DONE with high school. I want to move on even though I still want to be with my friends.
And yet, it's scary, too. I can still remember how meek and timid I was the first day of high school. My, how time flies. |
1 – TurtwigX|
I completely agree with you.
Just 3 more weeks until i'm done and then college...scary thought |
1 – JDxImpetus|
Don't even get me started on college. It's most of the reason I'm so done with high school. Now I'm putting like the next four into focus mode for it. Oh man, the stress I'll be under. Do I ever get a break? But for once I'm actually excited thinking about it. Yay future!
All this excitement is making me want to do more than just laze around all day. I'm even gonna see if I can compose a song for our band's Winter or Spring Concert~ |
1 – TurtwigX|
Yeah, Focus is right.
I'm going to have to seriously drop my procrastination habit by this summer. and begin to focus on school...and lets not start on stress >_< |
|
You could always master your procrastination and have it work for your benefit. I tried that once and it helped me score an A on an art related project. But the stress is something that's not gonna just disappear. Oh no, that'll be a trip...
Speaking of stress, all this talk of finals and AP exams taking up lives scared me, but it was sooooo over exaggerated. I had mine for AP Lang and it was so totally like NO big deal. It was easy peasy lemon squeezy sugar breezy eggs-over-easy. Pre-Calc was also a breeze (a fun one, too~) and the rest I have to do next week. |
|
Had my last day of school uniform yesterday! I finish school completley on Thursday but I have to go back for 7 exams.
Pretty nervous for Chemistry/ History/ Mathematics exams in particular but I am going to start studying loads soon. Hope everyone else is doing good. |
1 – Fubab_107I just got fitted for my tuxedo for prom.
It's hard to believe that it's in about a week, I'm so nervous and excited!
1 – JDxImpetus
1 – JDxImpetusI still have 23 school days left before my final day, and then exams start on June 17th. We haven't been given the exam schedules yet, but I'm so glad to only have 3 exams, and they're quite simple! Basically all of my difficult classes were last semester, so I only have a math exam, a Canadian history exam and a chemistry exam! (Gym has no exam, and English's exam has been replaced with our IB World Lit. assignment, which is an over-hyped literary analysis.) I can't believe how quickly school has gone by!
So, school talk? K'
My last day is June 7th. I don't know how many days I have left since I don't feel like counting. Do the math. For many classes I'll have two finals; one for the seniors and another for us because teachers are cruel and evil. I just know AP Lang is over since I took the AP Test. I already took a World History test, Pre-Calc test is tomorrow, Biotech final is a project, we write music for Music Theory, and the rest is unknown to me.
This has been a perfect school year from December onward. I'm sad it's rushing by all fast and all my (few) new senior friends are leaving me. But... that'll be me next year as well... I'm so gonna throw up.
1 – JDxImpetusInterestingly, your immune system is directly affected by how much sleep you get. Sleep allows your immune system to charge, so the less sleep you get (below a certain minimum of safe sleeping, of course) the weaker your immune system is.

Well, my semester is over. No idea what my grades are. *eyes report card thread*
1 – TwiggyWow This talk about finals is actually scaring me ._.
I have a week until mine and I haven't even started studying yet
1 – TurtwigXHooray for end of the year festivities! We just had our Spring Concert today at the school. While I couldn't be in it because I couldn't take the band class this year, I was helping out a lot with setup and carrying instruments for people. My little trolls sounded pretty amazing this year, too *Tear* This is only getting me excited for next year when I strut into the bandroom with my 3 instruments! We even got these lame-but-cool dogtag things at the end that signify that "we're in a band family." Pretty stupid, but I kind of like the design.

1 – Twiggy@Cat and Twiggy;
PLEASE. TAKE THE RAIN. I'M ABSOLUTELY SICK OF IT. I really hate the rain, it restricts me so much..
2 – Cat333Pokémon, Reuniclus|
I think I might be getting sick. >_< When I walked into school and took my exam, my throat started bothering me and I started to worry that I might be sick at prom.
Any quick solutions to cure a cold before it gets worse? |
