So... I used to be 35 pages behind on my Script Frenzy script.

I wrote 13 pages today.

I suppose I'm catching up.

Day of Silence

This friday is the Day of Silence.  It is a "national youth-run effort using silence to protest the actual silencing of LGBT people due to harassment, bias and abuse in schools," and our school participates in it every year. I've definitely been participating for as long as I've known about it. 
I'm kind of pumped for it. In the past, I've brought whiteboards to help communicate, though I think I might actually go for some hardcore silence this year. 


Also, next week I'm going to donate blood! I've never donated before; hopefully there's nothing wrong with me preventing me from doing so (I'm more afraid of being turned down for donating than I am of the actual needle.) You have to be at least 17, and none of my friends are either old enough or willing to... I can't understand why you wouldn't want to, though! 


Plus, I have type O blood (though I'm not sure if it's positive or negative!), making me a universal donor. I want to help the best I can!

What makes me really angry, though, is that when I got my driver's license, my mum didn't check the donor box. It wasn't her decision to make--I would rather be helping others than taking my organs with me to rot. 


Yay activism!

Wall Art! :D

I put this up on the wall :D It was approved by the vice principal, so it wasn't even against the rules. 

Also, now there seem to be tons of cute posters appearing around for no particular reason. For example, high five posters with giant hands to slap while walking by. I don't have anything to do with these--they just make me happy :)

EEEP!

Today I came home and there was a fat package from Poland! EEP!
I sent Ada poptarts a couple weeks ago, since she had never eaten them before, as they don't sell them in Poland. Well today I got a giant envelope full of her favorite sweets!

Ahh, I was so excited opening it! They're so foreign and amazing!

Plus, the outside of the envelope had little Super Mario stickers :3 

She also sent me pictures from her hometown, of her family and pets, as well as a letter on nyan cat paper :D

Yay!

Oh my gosh. I got another letter today, so now I have three things to respond to! Two of which I will have to start on right away because they came when I was on vacation! SO much writing to do today!

In other news, I'm almost done with one of two essays!

I'M BA-ACK!

...Although I realize I may have never said that I left.

Anyway, I just spent the last week road tripping up from San Francisco, through Oregon and Washington. We saw tons of colleges (six, in fact). I also met up with my brother's best friend (at the University of Oregon) and his girlfriend (at Puget Sound) and hung out with them a little :)

But anyway, it was pretty cool! I really loved Seattle. I could live there, I think.

In other news, when we were in Seattle I found this japanese import shop called Daiso that is SO AWESOME. I'm generally not the biggest Asia nerd, but I started geeking out when we were there because they had so much stationery and other cute things, it was awesome. I bought eight new stationery paper set thingies, and tons of new tapes and punches. I got an embosser too! Other than the paper goods, I also bought a couple bento boxes--they're something I've always wanted, but never really known where to get (or else they would be expensive!) The AMAZING thing about Daiso is that EVERYTHING is $1.50--it's so unbelievably affordable :D

Being back home kind of sucks, though. Mostly because I realize I have to write 2 essays, and only really have tomorrow to do so. Oh well.

I am so sorry about how grammatically incorrect the majority of this post is. I would like to point out that it is midnight and I just spent the last 5+ hours either in an airport or on a plane. At this point I'm just beyond caring :)
