SCHOOL IS OVAH!!!! YESSS! I took my last two finals today and that was pretty much all we did at school. It was a half day. The only time I was really sad was at the end of history, because the people in that class were awesome and I won't be able to have Gutzler anymore. It didn't feel like the last day until the bus ride home.

And it's my birthday today! Yaaay~ 16. Mi madre made a huge amount of cookies for me to bring into school and share with my friends. Thanks mommy, you're the best! The weird thing about this birthday is that I've been thinking about finals and the end of the year so much that I didn't really have time to think about it. So I wasn't really excited until the actual day. I get to get my permit soon and have a paaarty. I'm taking people to dinner and to see Wall-e. HELLA YES BEST PARTY EVER. I just have to get my shit together and actually like, send invitations and things. I suck. XD

Song (or Poem) of the Wind and Trees is really, really depressing. It's pretty much the first shonen-ai series ever made, and was both a manga and an OVA. When I read scanlations of the manga (and technically I still haven't finished) it was the most depressing thing I ever read. I couldn't even cry. It just made me so numb. I hated it for that reason. Recently I saw the OVA for the series and I liked it much better. Something about actually having the characters move and speak made it better for me. And I actually cried a little at the end, when Serge says, "Gilbert, you were the wind stirring my branches." Yup. See title of journal. I really like that line.

I think I'll reread the scanlations sometime and see if I like it better. Ugh, it's so oldschool and all the boys are SO pretty. Not good pretty, I mean "pretty." Sparkly-eyed, blush wearing, wow eyelashes pretty. And in the OVA, they have no reproductive organs. Not that they even do anything.

Hum di dum. I hope everyone had a nice day~~~

I usually remember to resubscribe to deviantart before everything goes to hell, but this time I just plain forgot. As soon as an adult with a credit card gets home I'll resubscribe, but that scared the shit out of me. Dev is so ugly without a subscription, at least to me who hasn't seen it that way for years. Bleeeeh. At least I got to see the little red prose pen...

People need to stop using the baseline to Stand By Me in their songs. Come on, people. Think of something new.

As you may have noticed from the obnoxious amount of pictures I uploaded, I went to a gay pride parade today! It was amazing and fun and really cool. My mom and I went with the senior youth group at our church. I took a bunch a pictures, and I'll probably put up a couple more. (But only a couple, I promise! XD)

When we first got there and were looking at the schedule, I saw that Freezepop was going to be playing and got so psyched! What a surprise! I had no idea they were going to be there! What an awesome band. So I got to see them play like five songs, one of which was Plastic Stars. Totally cool! I recorded most of my two favorite songs before my camera died; I'll put them up on youtube soon.

Yaaaaay~ what a good day it was. It was so cool and fun to be there, and we didn't even stay for the whole thing. My mom and I were going around the tables that different groups had set up, and a lot were handing out condoms. I didn't take them by themselves, but sometimes they were in bags with other things so now I have a little collection, lawl. There was lots of free stuff! And we marched! And chanted chants! Whoo! I want to bring people next year. XD

On a side note, Starbucks has delicious ice tea lemonade. With real tea. Like, they actually asked me what kind of tea I wanted. And I was like "Uhh...." And they said "we have black, and gre-" And I said "Oh, black." Totally.

Then I realized it was 2:05 and Freezepop was supposed to come on at 2:00 so I was like "Oh shit!" and did some epic sprinting from Starbucks back to the stage and was way early. I was like, early for sound check. Lol.

I don't really want to become one of those people, but...
I've been seriously considering getting a ball-joint doll for my birthday.

I know dolls are creepy and people have too many and all you can do is take pictures of them, but I think I'm in love a little. The one I want is a Dream of Doll DOC Tender Yen. [link] I've gotten into the bad habit of calling him my "baby." This is not good. I get into things like this and then I can't get out for a really, really long time. It's not like I think I'm going to end up with 30 BJDs and no friends or anything, though. One would be enough for me. (At least I hope so.)

The other thing is that I kind of want to see one in real life, or in a picture that clearly shows how big they are. I have measurements and pictures to look at but I kind of want to be able to see the whole thing in front of me, and since no one I know has a doll already I'm kind of screwed in that area. I wouldn't want him to be too big because "big" could easily become "creepy."

...But he's so pretty.
Oh well, maybe I will, maybe I won't. He's not that expensive compared to others.

Oh, this weekend I'm going to Youth Pride in Boston! Yay, fun gay pride thing that I've never been to before. I'm going with my mom and the church's Senior Youth group, lol.

Meh, Tender Yen... I want you.

Have you ever tried not breathing? It's different than holding your breath. Before your body wants air again, it feels really unusual. Because you're so used to breathing without thinking about it, and then you're just not, all of a sudden.

That's my weird thought of the day.

Ahh, I thought of the BEST MOVIE IDEA EVER today, when we started reading the constitution in history. I'll probably post something later that really goes into the plot and everything, but it has to do with the fact that if the president doesn't pass a veto or bill in ten days, it becomes a law automatically. Kayla is my awesome co-idea maker and motivational assistant/the one who stays excited about things longer than other people. Yup. That's her title.

I'm too excited to wait. This isn't the full plot.
An extremist group of gays find out that the president will be receiving a bill to legalize gay marriage sometime that year. The group uses various tactics to get their members hired in various jobs in the white house, until the majority of the workers there are a part of the group. When the president receives the bill he is about to veto it when the gays suddenly capture him. They close off the white house and plan to keep the president prisoner until the ten days have passed and the bill becomes a law. Meanwhile, crisis is eminent on the outside due to various reasons.

We've already developed the story a lot more, and it's truly epic. I'll post more about it as soon as I can. Oh, and it's supposed to be very dramatic and serious, but not realistic in the slightest. I'm so excited.
