"Why's It Called a 'Tropical Depression?' Is It Sad?"

Good morning, good morning, good morning!! Happy Saturday, everyone! I'm hanging with my friend Josie at the moment, also a Nerdfighter. She was the inspiration for the title of today's blog, and now she's counting how much money I have in change in my coin jar. So far, $33.50. In quarters.
School for us starts on Monday. I'm kind of excited, but clueless. I've gone to this school my whole high school career, but they way things have been going down have everything all crazy. Everyone else knows who they have for homeroom and what their classes are, but not who the teachers are or when they have the class. Me, though, I don't have my classes, or my homeroom, because on orientation day I had to actually ENROLL. Yeah, there's a whole back story as to why I wasn't enrolled in the first place, but it's long and if you want to know you can ask me and I'll tell ya, I don't care. I'm excited though, from what I know my locker is on top, and I should have all the classes I want and I don't have to ride the bus! And I can see everyone who's been MIA for the past few months. Now, onward to the bloggy things.
Today I feel: HYPER!!Photobucket
Today is awesome because I'm going to my Josie's house later for a cookout thingy and it should be hella fun. And I'll get to play with her new kitten. ^-^
I never did get around to posting a phrase, but I now have one:
Niminy-piminy (adj): affectedly refined; finicky.
Yeah.
My Haiku:
Hank thinks it's too hot.
So he poured ice in his pants.
The fan was awkward.
How did I get into the vlogbrothers? Hmm... you know, I don't remember. Knowing me I was just surfing YouTube and came across one of their videos. I really wish I remembered exactly how it happened.
I'm actually not very well versed in politics, so I can't really say who I'm leaning towards. I do know that in my history class last year she had us take this online test called the "Political Compass" or something, and I wound up in roughly the same place as Ghandi. So, yeah.
http://www.politicalcompass.org/ <=that's the site if you want to try it. It was kind of interesting.

My top five favorite albums, in no particular order:
  • Scars On Broadway- Scars on Broadway
  • Elect the Dead- Serj Tankian
  • Astro-Creep 2000: White Zombie
  • International Superhits- Green Day
  • We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank- Modest Mouse
You have no clue how hard that was. I have so many. What you see listed above changes often.
And now, a doodle.
desk lamp
That's what happens if you leave me searching for creative inspiration in the vicinity of a desk lamp.

Now, a question for you: What are the 3 most obscure or nerdy books you own?
Mine are:
The Gilded Tongue. PhotobucketIt's effectively a glorified dictionary. And it's got a velvety cover.<3
Monty Python and Philosophy.PhotobucketIt basically just breaks down the humor and finds philosophical meaning to all of it. Really quite interesting.
The Pirate Primer: Mastering the Language of Swashbucklers and Rogues. PhotobucketThat's right. It's a book about how to speak like a pirate.
That's all I have for today. Tyler, I'll read ya tomorrow.
Oh yeah, we have come to the grand total of $80.15 in change. Coinstar, here we come.

Why, happy Saturday to you too!

Damn you're lucky you got a top locker. It sucks being on the bottom. Books fall on you and your head always gets wacked by the door above.

Woo, go Modest Mouse. I love them but don't have their album :(

I like your doodle :)

I absolutely love the noise CoinStar machines make, which is totally random, but I thought I might say.

Hope you enjoy school on Monday (That wasn't sarcastic, I swear).

Love the doodle!

Top/bottom locker doesn't affect me. My locker is floor length. I do have the bottom shelf of my shared locker though. I don't mind. I'm only 5'2" ish... so it's just easier to be near the floor.
