9/24/24. Hey, double numbers!

I guess I need to start posting on this thing otherwise. yk. whats the point of having a blog. (on that note thanks roxy for having a purretty purretty blog it inspired me to steal the idea and make one myself.) But yeah, it's the 24th of September at about 9:13 AM or so and I'm in school. I think I'll keep writing throughout the school day and update when I deem necessary.

So far my morning has been okay, could be better but nothing too special. I had a sausage patty for breakfast and it was pretty filling I guess?

Actually. Idea; I could use this thing to remind me to do my homework since I have an awful habit of forgetting to do anything that isn't homestuck related. Seriously. My memory is horrible. Last year or so I was in line to get some lunch and I'd just completely forgotten my lunch pin after using it for a good year and a half. Like I went in the line, forgot it, had to get the pin number again, and then had to reteach myself to remember the pin over the next few weeks. My brain is really weird. But the point is it could be helpful in the event that I need a reminder of anything to do, since other reminders kind of suck and don't really work for me.

9:35 AM

My headphones r sooooooo busted. Jesus. I really gotta get new ones since they're basically hanging on by a damn thread. Usually my mentality about material possessions like these are "if it ain't broke don't fix it!" but I quite literally cannot "if it ain't broke don't fix it!" my way out of these headphones. Rest in peace to my Sony headphones, or the baephones as I dub them. It was a good 1 or 2 years but it's time to let them go.

Ideally I'd just get Sony brand headphones again, even if they're stupid expensive. (Seriously. $100 for headphones is fucking wild.) but I could also get earbuds I guess...?

Actually, no. Super gay idea actually.

Earbuds fucking suck dude I don't know how people survive with them in their ear holes. It gets majorly uncomfortable after like 40 minutes!!! Which is why headphones obviously solo. Not even a competition. If I wanted something uncomfortably lodged in my ear I'd put a cotton swab in it.

Actually semi-related but right now I'm listening to one of my playlists meant for the express purpose of making myself feel better, and Jesus Christ the transition from The New Workout Plan to Juliet by Cavetown gave me horrific whiplash. 

I get that they both make me feel better but extremely different moods we're setting here guys! This playlist needs the genre equivalent of segregation.

I usually spend my lunch periods in the library and that is what I'm doing right now. Typing away at my blog like the little tumblrina I am at heart. I also realized god damn does this playlist have a lot of songs from Graduation. Too many. The first two albums in the College Dropout trilogy r easily better than Graduation. (Late Registration being his [Kanye West's] best album imho.) Which isn't to say that Graduation is a bad album by any means, hell no!!! It's just people always say shit like "he made graduation..." when c'mon if you're going to try and do your "separate the art from the artist" ye cope at least do an album like Late Registration or The College Dropout or 808s or MBDTF. Actually not 808s, I think Graduation is better than that album.

But also funny how nobody ever says "he made Vultures..." or "he made Vultures 2..." and you wanna know why? Because those albums r hot ASS. Actual auditory aids. It always perplexes me how CARNIVAL was able to get as popular as it did on apps like TikTok when the song fucking sucks!! It is quite literally the bane of my existence and if I have to hear even a snippet of it I'd kill myself. I could at least understand how people could defend an album like Donda since it has (at least in my opinion) some pretty good tracks on it (I really like Believe What I Say) but I just could never get anyone who likes his last two albums with Ty Dolla Sign or whatever his name is. That's a lie, I could. Usually it's just fourteen year olds who treat Kanye like he's the second coming of Christ because he makes really good music and defend every little thing the guy does as if he's above critique. Spoiler: he's not. Like guys I like Kanye too but doing tricks on his weiner & defending hot garbage (in terms of like. Everything he's said and done and the music he's recently put out) just in the name of Kanye is kind of crazy. Maybe if you guys had some standards and not eating up every little thing the guy does we wouldn't keep getting this slop!!!

Also Mr. Pessimistic by Infinity Song is playing right now. Ugh god do I love Infinity Song. Their music usually makes me feel nice and cozy and good about things. Corny phrasing. I know. but this is my blog and I'll say whatever I so please thank you very MUCH. But this song is just really nice to me and my meaty meat brain. Not to mention just sort of really relatable. Have you ever been around a person who is just needlessly negative all the time and thinks every little thing they or other people do is embarrassing? It's really fucking annoying. Also gives me lyricstuck ideas in my head too. (How can I make this about homestuck...) maybe with the Strilondes? I don't know, I'm not an animator. Not yet at least. But listening to music in general gives me so many lyricstuck ideas I'll never be able to execute because I'm unfortunately an artist who doesn't draw.

Speaking of drawing. i can purrawbably take the time to include some artwork since I was thinking of having tiny doodles on my blog posts just to keep things interesting. And because I like drawing. Duh. 

Some doodles & drawings from a werewolf rose magma I did with Jax (hi Jax!)

How sick are these?? Well let me tell you, they're super sick. I would write some more but I gotta leave the library, so be back in a bit.

I was just coming from my choir class, and I'm now in art. Obviously I couldn't type while I was singing and focused on the music. Don't be silly. But that class was such a bore and I seriously cannot stand it as someone who usually loves chorus.

My main gripe with the class is pretty much just my new, insufferable teacher. She is so, SO annoying. Another thing I hate about the class is the music we're given. Last year the music we were given in my opinion was fun, upbeat, great to sing. I also just have a bias towards singing gospel so I enjoyed the little gospel music we got to do. But the music we have now is just such a snoozefest. Maybe it's just my brain thinking up bad ideas but I really wanna drop that class. Really the only thing keeping me in there are my fellow classmates. One of the guys in there said he liked my Wolverine t-shirt which was pretty sweet, super sweet even. But yeah, my choir classmates rule, its just that godawful teacher.

In art class right now we've got an assignment while my teacher is out for the rest of the week that involves remaking book covers. I wanna do Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita, since some of the covers are kind of godawful given the material of the book. But others are super good, I love looking through the many varieties of Lolita covers in my spare time just to see the many interpretations different artists have of what a Lolita book cover *should* look like.

These are my favorite Lolita book covers. I usually prefer the ones without Dolores being on them (aside from middle one on the bottom row.) (and also this other cover I saw of Dolores in the grass while Humbert is in view on the left. I won't post it here since I don't want to, but it's a pretty good cover. The colors are just lovely, they work together amazingly. It also just makes me uncomfortable, which I guess is the point so bravo!) with a few exceptions, but these ones really get me. Top middle I really like cause of how it takes the lollipop usually associated with Lolita, pretty obvious iconography for ruining innocence. That one and the bottom right really take the cake for me in terms of Lolita covers. So it'll be quite the challenge to try and get it right if I'm gonna give it a shot.

2:22 PM

Currently in eighth after the dumpster fire that was last period (seventh, for clarification.) I had a presentation that I felt unprepared for, and as such, didn't do great on. That kind of just lowered my spirits by a significant amount, and I just can't wait to get out of school. I'm usually very tired, but right now I feel especially tired. 

On the bright side, I was planning on going to Wendy's afterschool. So if all goes according to plan there today should still be somewhat salvageable. I like trying to make the best out of shitty situations. But I don't think I'll have anything more to say after I get out of school, so I'll end things off here.

Overall Rating for Today: 4/10. Could've been better.
