CRAP!

School is starting on Tuesday. Here are my thoughts and/or feeling about going back:

• I feel like summer went too quickly


• School felt far off a few weeks ago


• I'll be glad to rekindle my social life


• I don't want to work


• I just started getting comfortable with vacation


• I'm at my most tired stage in vacation


• I'm feeling stressed because I have to try out for Concert Orchestra, which I hear is a really hardcore class, very unlike my old one


• I want something to do, and school fits that need


• Overall, very mixed feelings

*sigh*

"Three, pick number three, my lord!"

I've been tagged by my good ol' friend Jason McDaniel, my best babysitting employer. Ok, I've got to tell everyone a little more about myself.


THREE JOYS:

• Fooling around with my peeps.

---When it comes to just being plain silly, our little family comes in handy.

• School.

---I know this sounds wierd, but trust me, if school didn't exist, I wouldn't have any friends. It's probably my best social outlet.

• Technology.

---Yeah, it's a blanket term, but Blogging, Video Games, etc. are awesome.

THREE FEARS:

• Flunking school.

---I personally think that if I were to get held back, or if I were expelled, or something along those lines, I'd lose it. Just getting bad grades, or low points on an assignment make me crazy. I don't like to think how I would react to that.

• Breaking a bone.

---This might be a wee bit irrational, but I'm frightened of intense pain. Some things I can handle, like a punch to the face, a nice pile drive to the face, getting hit in the face with a soccer ball, (which seems to happen on a regular basis), or something like that, but intense pain; breaking a bone, getting my arms lopped of with a lightsaber, etc., I don't enjoy the freakish thought of.

• Looking stupid.

---If I end up looking like an idiot at the end of an argument I'm somehow involved in, it tends to kind of freak me out. I think I'm a little too comfortable with my status of looking smart so much that it scares me to think of what it would be like otherwise.

THREE SURPRISING FACTS:

• SUBTLETY IS MY MIDDLE NAME!!!

---Sorry I stole this quote, Wayneman. I have basically no subtlety when it comes to my sense of humor. (Most of the time.)

• I am attempting to beat Halo 3 on Legendary, While simultaneously working my way through Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords ( also known as: SW KotOR II)

---Yes, I'm a dork who plays video games, and, yes, I play Star Wars RPGs (Role Playing Games).

• I am a Jedi Knight.

---um...

I now tag Darth Maul, Hayden, Ashton Kutcher (see http://vancleaves.blogspot.com/2008/08/my-greatest-fear-realized.html), Lord Voldemort, and Barak Obama.

NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Harry Potter 6, (the movie), originally scheduled for November 21, has been delayed UNTIL JULY OF NEXT YEAR. I have but one thing to say: "BULLCRAP!".

George Lucas Has Issues

If anyone has watched the Star Wars saga in its fullness, they will probably notice that the number of limbs cut off is insane, and I'm not even including the minor characters, like droids, clones/stormtroopers, or rebels. If I did, it would many hours to count. It's always bothered me, and I just decided to address it.

Episode I: I don't know if this counts, but Darth Maul gets cut in half by Obi-Wan

Episode II: Anakin Skywalker gets his arm chopped off by Count DookuEpisode III:
1) Count Dooku gets his hands cut off by Anakin Skywalker

2) General Grievous loses two of his four hands to Obi-Wan Kenobi

3) Anakin cuts off Mace Windu's hand to protect Chancellor Palpatine (Darth Sidious)

4) Anakin (now known as Darth Vader) loses his remaining non-robotic limbs to Obi-Wan Kenobi

Episode IV: none

Episode V: Luke Skywalker gets his hand cut off by Darth Vader

Episode VI: Darth Vader loses another hand to Luke Skywalker (Vader has robot limbs)

...

In all, there were ELEVEN limbs cut off in the Star Wars Saga (twelve, if you count Darth Maul's accident).

WOW.
