A List of Things I Would Like To Do
Since I’ve been really busy recently and incredibly stressed, I thought I’d make a list of things I WANT to do instead of things I HAVE to do. Wow I sound whiny/bitchy. (y/n? I’ve noticed people using that a lot these days) This will be a short list, because I don’t…want…I’m tired…
1. Collect all of my worldly possessions from my room and move them...
Yay Stem Cells
Alice: I don't want to research stem cells. Tell me about them.
Jimmy: I don't know. They are magic.
Guest Blogger: Rory, my dog

It's Scanning Day! Progress = 6/a lot
Sorry I haven’t updated my work so far. A certain someone was complaining.
Okay so I’ve been working for the past week or so to get to the point where I can create a dummy of the entire graphic novel with my sketches. Well hooray because that day has rolled around! Currently I’m sitting here listening to Ratatat while my scanner hums away (it sounds kind of like an angry bee....
FACEDESK
On the brilliant suggestion of my sister, I’ve decided to post updates to my grand Graphic Novel Project as I work on it during this winter month of January. So: post number one (even though technically the project beginning date hasn’t yet hit me over the head).
I spent most of today cleaning up my room, which is going to be my studio for the next four weeks. There is now a...

Wii Would Like To Die
An hour and a half of playing Wii boxing/baseball + bad sleep schedule + too much pie = A cranky, achey Alice that doesn’t want to do anything but collapse into a puddle and flail at people.
WHY? WHYYYYY?
It sucks that we smart, pretty girls have to wait until college to get lives. Or at least, those of us whom our parents assure that we are smart and pretty, but we have no actual evidence to confirm it. At least not from males of our general age group.
Things I would like to do right now in order to alleviate my aggravation:
Play paintball against 14 huge jackass guys and kick their asses.
Go...
I'm not going to play with you anymore, Best Buy!
You hurt my feelings!
Way back in October I ordered a game for you. I had so much hope! So much excitement! I waited and waited for the release date. And it finally came. What a joyous day that was, waiting to get home and rip open the cardboard packaging of goodness to reveal the thing that would keep me from my homework for weeks to come.
But it didn’t come. And I thought, okay,...
Real Men Cry. They Cry Awesome.
Giggy: its not only a really good story, but a powerful one
Giggy: i am a man and i cried man tears, which are made of gunpowder, lightning, and meat
Alice: HAHAHA

IT'S LATE OCTOBER
And everyone’s gettin’ some but Aliiiiiiice.
So that’s not entirely true, but it bothers me all the time. Also it was very rainy today. SO YOU SEE WHY I BURN WITH A FIERY ANGER???
heehee. i’m not really. i am quite happy wearing my slippers at the computer.
Things That I Find Attractive
1. Hygiene
2. Appearance…(cheekboneslipseyeshairstatureaccent?)
3. An overwhelming urge to say the stupidest thing possible in any social situation.
I think my brain wiring is wrong. Maybe the pipes are blocked by too many kitties and random obsession about my fingernails. Shall I worry?
Thank goodness it hasn’t gone so far that I should think this is more attractive than...
ARGH. ARGH ARGH ARGH.
I think a facedesk is appropriate here.
It occurs to me that everything would be a lot easier if I could drive, but I’m so overscheduled that I had to postpone my driving lessons until about two months from now. This means that I have to slog through the rest of October, November and most of December being without reliable mode of transportation and an increasingly awful pile of things to...
Steven Pinker lecture on language + reception...
shanlovesotters:
Yeah, my parents were there the whole time. Up until they dropped my stumbling stuttering self off at the dorm.
It’s not even 8:30, and I am on the verge of a hangover.
but Pinker was epic. more on that later.
Huh. I have a feeling that Steven Pinker was featured in my PSAT this morning, in the writing skills section.
Ohhhhmg!
Oh hell, the girl is crazy
Who’d prefer to stay at home and play Age of Empires rather than go to a party? ME!
Well… to make myself seem like less of a dork, the party was going to be pretty damn lame, and Age of Empires is the best thing created ever.
It’s a kind of funny story, actually, my love affair with AoE. I think I encountered it first at a friend’s house in about 4th grade, and it was so...
'Cause He Got Licked Up by a Dog
Me: Did you know that in Italian, Michael is pronounced "mee-hai-ell-eh"?
Jimmy: *laughs*
Me: Did you know...oh, I'm out of random facts.
Jimmy: Make one up.
Me: Okay! A frog gets hit by a truck 36 times every minute.
Jimmy: The same frog?
Me: No then it would be a frog smear!
Jimmy: Most resilient frog ever.
god dammit
I may, however, be obligated to purchase it if death knights turn out to be kickass. I’ve heard that they suck, however.
When I do this, however, I assume a thoughtful frowning expression that makes people wonder why I’m so angry. I am not, however,…
GOD what is my problem with the freaking word however? I’ve had this blog for, I dunno, two weeks, and already I’ve overused it...
AAAAH MOTHERLAND
I can’t believe it. I really can’t. It’s just physically impossible.
I dislike an art class.
I never thought it would happen, but this year’s Art History course (with extra emphasis on the ancient parts!) is depressingly boring. If my teacher were a doctor, I think I would call him a quack. When I pointed this out to my friend, he said that if he weren’t an art...
Down With Japan!
Me: Hey, why does he have a big red dot on his back?

Geographically Difficult
I am translating the Aeneid in Latin class. I do not enjoy it.
The Latin language and I have always had a love-hate relationship. I was literally press ganged into studying it by my sister and mother. At that point in my life I was determined to stay within the ranks of the academically apathetic. Boy howdy, has that changed.
After my first year of Latin study I had decided that I was going to...
Bored To Tears? I'm Not So Sure
Here are things that I do at GFS when I’m bored and have - I kid you not - three hours to kill. (This is the average amount of time between the end of my classes and the beginning of my rehearsal, and I am never allowed to leave campus. It’s almost enough to make me spend fifty years of my life researching time travel and aging magic so that one day, a bored junior girl can leave...
A Classification of Classes
Bored Alice + stupid idea = pure bloggical magic.
What kind of personality do you have? World of Warcraft holds the answers. For instance, if you play as a
PALADIN, you’re the kind of person who enjoys being in charge. You’re pretty smart, generally, and you know how to have a good time. You like doing what you’re good at, and you’re good at telling people what to do (in...
Breaking into the Business
Apparently, new hair styles for WoW characters will be available before WoTLK comes out. So…that basically defeats the purpose of buying the freaking game in the first place.
I may, however, be obligated to purchase it if death knights turn out to be kickass. I’ve heard that they suck, however. I’m torn. So maybe, maybe not.
Man, I wish I could make my own videogame. It’d...
My Thirst for Knowledge: Praiseworthy or...
Midway through a sentence today during my lunch period, I realized that I don’t know what sparks really are. So naturally I took off for the science department to locate my favorite teacher and ask him.
I gained both the knowledge of sparks (there are two kinds, even!) and a rather bemused look from my teacher. It causes me to wonder whether I’m intellectually driven or just a smart...
Taking Yourself Too Literally
Me: Hey Isaac, I don't think I understand this article. I mean, what was the author's intention?
Isaac Von Wirt: Well, you have to think that anyone who reads it has got a pretty good idea of the subject matter. They're informed readers, not aliens who have just descended from space.
Me: But...it wasn't very clear to me, and I'm not an alien.
Von Wirt: But I am.
Me: (shocked) ...what?
Von Wirt: I mean...(long pause)...I was joking.
Science Wounds My Pride
Junior year really isn’t very fun. I have a lot of classes with a lot of homework, which are, of course, pretty damn boring. Except for biology class, taught by a Mr. Isaac Von Wirt*.
First of all, biology is interesting! Well, at least it has been so far. We’ve been learning about evolution, cladograms, mollusks, differentation, and why birds pee to cool off. As a lover of the...
Frankenstein Describes Biology To Me
Mr. Von Wirt: Okay...let's define mollecular clock as the mutations in chromosomes that act as a pendallum.
Me: Wait, a what?
Mr. Von Wirt: A pendallum. If you open up a grandfather clock, you can see the pendallum swinging inside.
Me: Do you mean pendulum?
Mr. Von Wirt: Oh yeah, sorry. I mean a pendullum.
Other Student: There's only one 'l' in pendulum.
Paris, 1482: Everyone's Getting Some But Frollo
Victor Hugo scares me! I don’t want to meet him!
Before last night I was able to remember fondly sitting down to watch the quirky Disney movie, The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Unfortunately, as is the case with most Disney movies, I was much to young to notice how INCREDIBLY DISTURBING IT REALLY IS.
Which isn’t to say that it’s not a great movie. I had quite a lot of fun watching...
