xaaraI should be applying to college and sending out ezine submissions and working on my Physics. So, naturally, I'm posting in my LJ.
Today, both my second and third period teachers are gone, so I have a grand total of 4.5 hours of nothing to do. Am I complaining? Hell no.
I can't wait for the next It's Academic meet - I have a few friends who I know exclusively through It's Ac and I always look forward to seeing them at the tournaments. Also, I can't wait for the game we have later today, because it's my first chance to play after straining my shin two weeks ago. Thankfully, the injury is no longer painful, because even if it was, I'd be out there playing. There's only so much sitting by and watching others' mistakes that I can stand.
Wrote lots and lots of Buffyfic, most of which is crap, some of which is passable, and a small portion of which is actually good. The D/S ficathon deadline is approaching, and I want to leave myself enough time to edit my story before I submit it, so that's my top priority at the moment. And I'm counting down the days to NaNoWriMo. I should start a National Poetry Writing Month for those writers who love writing poetry but can't ever seem to find the time. Actually, that would be interesting - there could be NaNo spinoffs practically every month. One for screenwriting, one for poetry, one for short stories, one for nonfiction.... It'd be fun.
Watched Seabiscuit, which was a good movie but somehow not as good as I'd expected. Tobey Maguire was adorable as always, and William Macy was great as Tick Tock McGlaughlin, but the Ah! moment toward which a really great movie builds never materialized. The editing was a little clumsy in a few places, and some of the cinematography felt a little cheap, but overall, the story was nice and well-presented. I'd probably give it a 7/10, and say that it's not a waste of time for a rainy weekend.

thepodsquad's comment about Buffyverse inflection, I'd have to agree. Except I usually get a sort of inner Spike voice, and you so don't want to know how that turns out. It most certainly is not pretty.
