another change in scenery

hmm, so yes. this is what my blog used to look like when i first started it. here's the deal: i tried to change it to a couple different layouts made by other people, but that was proving difficult and the coding was being uncooperative. then i thought about using an old layout again, but i was being lazy and didn't feel like updating the coding (i was too tired after dealing with the uncooperative coding...). thus, i used a template provided by blogger. it was a lot quicker, despite the fact i still had to re-enter all my links. actually, that ended up being all copy-paste, so it wasn't so bad.

i came to a realization today while sitting outside horticulture lab (which i still keep wanting to call herbology... me and my harry potter fixation...) waiting to take the practical quiz we had today (that i didn't know about because i skipped las week) and fretting over how i was going to totally fail (because i didn't know any of the material because, once again, i skipped last week). it's worse sitting (or standing or whatever) there in the classroom not knowing any of the answers or knowing you're not going to know any of the answers beforehand than it is actually receiving the paper back with the failing grade written on it. at least i think so anyway. i suppose it would be different if you think you did well and get your paper back saying you failed, but usually that's not the case with me. in retrospect, the quiz wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. there were a handful of questions that i knew the answers to from listening in lecture (sometimes i listen, sometimes i doodle in my notebook, and today i fell asleep during a video). there was also something else i came to realize today, but i completely forgot what it was.


yeah, so i've been utterly rotting my brain (not that i'm regretting it or not enjoying it) watching naruto on veoh. i was watching episodes on youtube, but the videos on veoh are generally better quality and aren't divided into twos and threes. there was a couple i downloaded from endless naruto, but it only let me download one episode a day (unless i paid actual money and opened a "premium" account on the video host they use). so next i really wanted to just download them all from dattebayo, but i couldn't get bittorrent to work fast enough for me (i am NOT going to wait nine days for it to work it's magic on one movie file). hmm, yeah... what was i getting at..... can't really remember...... though, i've gotta say, ten-ten is way cooler in the shippuuden series than she was in the original series. one, because she isn't wearing pink anymore (yes, i'm horribly biased against most things pink) and two, because it appears she's way better at fighting than before. though, to be fair, all you saw of her fighting abilities in the first part of the series was when she got her ass kicked by temari (who was always cool and is one of my favorites). unless she did more fighting sometime during the long string of filler episodes (which i skipped, as advised to by joe).

that's about all for now... i think i'm gonna go to sleep now, tomorrow i'm going down to plattsmouth, then coming back into bellevue with my mom to watch my brother do his thing with the male cheerleaders for the homecoming pep rally. apparently they're doing west side story, part of the brady bunch "keep on dancin'" dance, and some other stuff i can't remember. it sounds like it'll be pretty funny.



EDIT: i remembered!!! i learned today in horticulture lab that if you eat a few pounds or more (or maybe it was a pound or more) of apple seeds that you'll die from cyanide poisoning. crazy, huh?
