We just decorated our Christmas tree. It's so sad, though; I feel like the "magic of Christmas" is slowly slipping away. I'm more excited in anticipation of Christmas than I am for the actual thing. When I was younger, it was SO EXCITING, and I want to be excited for that. I am. I just end up being a teensy bit disappointed on Christmas Day. The real thing is never as... stereotypically Christmas-y and happy and snowy as I want. Maybe it's because I'm older and I realize that most often the world just sort of sucks. If that's so, then can I please go back to being naive and innocent? Because that was a hell of a lot more fun.
Whatever, I'm still excited for The Season in which it is Good to be Jolly.
*Obnoxious Time, commence* In bragging news, I got in the 99th percentile for both components of the English section of the PSAT (in comparison to other sophomores). In the three sections combined (which is math, Writing/Vocab/somethin-something and Reading Comprehension/Vocab/somethin-somethin) I got in the 98th percentile in comparison to juniors. YEAH STANDARDIZED TESTING YOU DO YOUR THING. And then I was in the 87th percentile for math? I only got 3 out of 11 "hard questions" right for that one... WHOOPS. But it's okay because, you know, I never said I was great at math, eh?
(Okay I'm sorry but I have a sad life and these sorts of things excite me. I apologize.)
*end Obnoxious Time*
What do you want for Christmas?
People celebrate Christmas without giving presents? INSANITY. The whole point of Christmas is to give presents (seriously... even baby Jesus got some).
Was that offensive? Sorry.
ANYWAYS, what to say, what to say.
Well, a few things, including a ukelele. I WANT ONE SO BADLY. Do you understand how amazing they are? I WANTZ.
Smaller things, like a copy of The Tales of Beedle the Bard, HP6 DVD (which I somehow didn't know was coming out until Alex told me on teh Twitterz!!!!!!!!!), the Warnings at Waverly Academy PC game... which is ON SALE FOR $9.99.
Oh my god I'm such a nerd I can't even handle it. (Not even; sometimes I feel ashamed for not being more enthusiastic about technological type things. Um, yeah. Lack of understanding = lack of interest [SOMETIMES].)
I'm sure there are more "mature" and "refined" things that I want... but seriously Christmas is a time to be a child and not think of such things. Dictionary, say what?
Funniest word?
Fragrant. Loquacious. Is there something funnier? Probably... fragrant is such a weird word to me, though. What are you even doing, fragrant?
Funniest number?
Infinity, because it's not even a number because it's THAT BADASS!
Question: Favorite/most interesting/most whatever magazine you've encountered? (My friend accidentally-ish bought a quasi-gay porn magazine once by accident. She said some of the stories were strangely touching.)
What the fakslhf am I even saying? OKAY BYE. :)

Hmph, I feel slightly jealous of your supernerdaliciousgeniusfreak score on the PSAT. But congrats, in case I didn't already tell you haha c:
Ahhh and I completely get what you mean about Christmas. I WANT TO FEEL THE JOY, I WANT TO BE FULL OF LIGHT!
But whatever, we'll have great fun in the upcoming weeks waiting for break! :D
YAY YOU! When do you have to take the REAL SATs? -We don't have them in Canada-
Good look on getting a ukulele. I wouldn't mind one myself, actually.
WOOOOT for you!!! Seriously that is awesome. Also W00T for ukeleles. If I possessed any kind of musical ability I'd love one.
Astrid, I know, I'm so excited for the last days of school before break. :D I hope we watch The Odyssey again in English ;) Break is going to be one huge party except for the hours we spend attempting to finish the project! WHOOT. Oh, and I think Yelena got 97 - 96 - 98 or something similar for all of her sections on the PSAT. I wish I had her math skills :( hahaha. You're smart too, don't lie ;)
Alex, I *think* you can take the SAT whenever you want, but most people take them junior and/or senior year. I'm taking it next year (junior year) in the fall so I can retake it if I need to. I'm also taking the PSAT next year, because it's required at our school (freshman take a practice PSAT, sophomores take the real PSAT, juniors take the real PSAT and the SAT). I find it a bit irritating for the simple reason that I think that standardized testing doesn't accurately represent how smart you are, but our school is the "we must make ALL our students VERY SMART through LOTS OF TESTS and AP CLASSES that a quarter of the student body isn't ready for!" type. Fun times.
YOU GUYS, we should all learn how to play ukelele and then have some sort of internet-ukelele-playing band/party extravaganza and take over the world or something. YEAHHH <3
