Dad "Ethan, when's your hair appointment?"
Ethan "Friday"
Dad "I still think you should let me cut it"
Ethan "Give me 200 dollars and you can"
Dad "Deal."

So, after much debate and conversing, I have agreed to let my father cut my hair/take me somewhere of his choice to get it cut the way he wants. In exchange, he will be placing 200 dollars in my hand. Apparently, he wants to cut it that much. I'm a little scared of the end result, but whatever. I get a new harddrive for my xbox and money for mod supplies.

Poll #1371475 The Band Needs a Name
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 4

Which name do you like?

My friend Jerrod and I talked about starting a band a while back. We decided we should wait a bit, until we thought we were good enough at the instruments we play to actually make music together. The time has come, and we've decided that we are proficient enough to start our band. We've got a guy trying out for lead guitar, and a guy for vocals. We thought we had a name, but apparently our previous moniker is already taken by an older dude jazzy band. They appear to not be very popular, and I doubt they have it copyrighted. However, we decided it best to just pick a new name. Vote, please.

Feelin' Like?: disappointed

( Meme )

Remember Mr. WantsAReport?  Never took my report on Judaism, didn't collect my report on Russia.  I grow tired of this crapola.
Totally bombed a Spanish test last week.  I doubt that'll effect anything.
I'm tired.

Some odd quotes from the past week or so.

Mr. SneakyJediMan "Young man, sit down"
Michael "I know tae-kwon-do"
SneakyJediMan [in all seriousness] "Well I don't care who you know, sit down"

Mr. Science "You'll probably never hear me say this again, so listen closely.  -longpause-  You're good kids.  Now we're going to finish that movie, and finish this crapola next week"

This My Jam?: Knights of Cydonia by Muse

You all remember my frustrations with getting group projects thrust upon myself, correct?
But, even more frustrating, is when once I've gotten over the previously stated, the deadline I was given is not kept.  So I find that I was annoyed, and rushed a report together, for nothing, and that it's now due Friday instead of the originally set Monday.

I mean, it's not that he's a bad teacher or anything,  Mr. Can'tKeepADueDate just keeps doing things that make me dis-happy.  I entirely understand pushing it back to Friday, but how about instead of expecting something big to be done same-day, you just expect it done on Friday to begin with?

School's beginning to just get weird.  Mr. WantsAReport's getting stricter, Mr. ScienceDude's getting more leniant, and Ms. SpanishSub is sending everyone out of the room.     Oh, and apparently building a PuzzleCube with 6 pieces rather than the assigned 5, does not earn you bonus points.  I have been informed that it will actually dis-earn you points.  Thanks for telling me this after I've already done all my sketches and buildings and have no time to re-start it, Mr. H.

My head keeps itching, specifically right after I shower.  I'm pretty sure it's not lice.  I'm either allergic to my shampoo, or my scalp is dry and it's not moisturizing as I need it to.

Yo, Apple Users, how do I turn auto-spell check back on?


Oh, and free pancakes at iHop on the 24th.  It's national pancake day.  -happyface-

My paid account has expired.
I think I shall re-new it.
 

[bold text above is in reference to my userpics]

Prior to this entry, I've had exactly 400.  Seems like alot.

Update on my previous update;  No one I could ask for help is on IM, I know no numbers, and I don't care.
I tried to use a youtube video downloader to jack a music track off of something, but it the downloading failed.
I am now just copying/pasting a Wiki article on Russian Music, mostly because I don't understand half of the things it's talking about to even try to re-phrase it.  I'll go into class monday, we'll read the paper, I'll mispronounce some fancy sounding names, Mr. ProjectGiver shall be satisfied.

 

In other news, only Zach de la Rocha can make listing the ships that Columbus sailed on sound hardcore.

 

Edit: about 15 minutes after this post, my paper is complete, and despite the fact that I can't read half of it fluently, it sounds pretty good.

This My Jam?: Sleep Now in the Fire by Rage Against the Machine

In general, as far as knowledge, projects, homework help, stuff like that goes, I'm kinda the person to ask when help is needed.
And I'm cool with that.
But there comes a point in which this gets ridiculous, on top of already being forced to do a ridiculous project.
World Geography;  We're studying Russia.  Two days ago, our teacher assigned groups, and assigned an off-topic report based on a world religion to each group.  My group had Judaism.  We did our report, but the next day, instead of turning those in or doing our presentations, Mr. Absurdity decides to go entirely off-topic.  Next day?  He decides he wants the groups that just wasted our time on religion reports, to do some sort of project based on a Russian cultural topic.  [Fashion, Music, Ethnicity, Ancestry, things of that nature]. 

He decides he wants it done in one class period, and turned in the next day we have class.  Half of my group decides to stay long enough to pick a topic, not ask my opinion, and explain to me that they're leaving to go do something for a club they're in, and that whatever me and the only other one that didn't leave [who happens to not be the sharpest light bulb in the box] don't finish, I need to finish during MY weekend. 

I entirely understand that when someone has prior arrangements to do something, it needs to be done.  But how does it make sense to pick what the project is going to be, then dump it all on someone who can't do t decently?  I mean, they pick music.  Anyone bother to consider that I don't have a pile of Russian CD's lying around, and that my current situation doesn't allow for me to illegaly obtain music?  No.  The guidelines call for examples of the thing we choose, I have none, I cannot get any for free, and you can bet your bottom dollar I'm not paying for any, nor will I waste my time browsing massive online MP3 dumps for them.

I'm still debating on whether I should put together some lame excuse for a presentation, or if I should wait until Monday, tell my group that my grade'll be fine without this, and that they have about 10 minutes to finish what should've already been done.
