Sooo this font is called Palatino Linotype. And I say it so it kind of rhymes. Like…Pah-lah-tee-no Lee-no-type. I don’t know if that’s how it’s supposed to be said or not. But that’s how I say it and I think it sounds cooler that way. I don’t have a long rant about this font…but I like it. I like it quite a lot and I’m not quite sure why.
So, now, on to the blog.
My dearly beloved followers…we are gathered here today to rekindle the spark that is known as Perspective of Irrelevance. You see, I looked at my past post, and realized that the last time I posted something was 1 1/2 months ago. How the hell does 1 1/2 months go by without me writing a blog?! Well. Easy. The one word answer is school. School is the root of all evil at this point. I’m a senior in high school and apparently the last two months of ones high school career is filled with projects and lots of things to do. So, I’ve been working on those. Along with that, I’ve also gone on various field trips; I spent a day in NYC, and spent a lovely 4 days in Orlando, Florida.
What’s that? You want to hear about NYC? Well I’ll be glad to tell you!
I’d tell you about Florida too…but there’s not much to tell. Heat. Disneyworld. Disney. Awesomeness. You get the idea.
But NYC…that’s another story!
Once upon a time…I woke up at 4 in the morning to get ready to go to NYC. At 5:30 we boarded a charter bus and made the journey up through Pennsylvania, spending all of 5 minutes in New Jersey, and then traveling through the Lincoln Tunnel into New York City.
On a side note, every time I see the Lincoln Tunnel, I don’t think of Buddy the Elf (well, I do think of him, but I think of him second and not first). I think of Stephen King first and foremost. In his book The Stand, there’s a scene that involves the Lincoln Tunnel. So when I went through it, that’s all I could think about. Oh, and if you haven’t read that part in The Stand…and if you travel through the Lincoln Tunnel a lot…I don’t fully recommend it. I mean, I think it’s awesome…but I love Stephen King and his creepy death-filled stories. But some don’t.
Okay. So in NYC, we toured Radio City Music Hall and went to the Public Library and then went shopping and ended the day seeing Phantom of the Opera.
And if you know me well enough…seeing Phantom changed. My. Life.
Completely.
Now Phantom is like one of my favorite things ever created and I find it utterly spectacular! I’m practically obsessed. It’s one of those performances that has everything! It has a love story plus a dude who murders people! It’s so amazing…and I love the Phantom. I totally would have gotten with him in the end and not Raoul. Because Phantom is amazing. And he’s sweet despite his awkward creepyness.
And that, in a nutshell, was NYC.
Oh. And guys kept hitting on me. Which was really awkward since they were random black guys on the street. On the same street block, I first had a guy call me ‘red’ and try to hit on me…and then later on down the same street block, someone said “Damn girl, you got some sweet curves.”
…
…
I honestly didn’t know how to respond to that. My friend Jasmine though does a pretty good impression of my mouth agape in surprise and awe. But it was quite an…interesting day to say the least.
So. We went on school field trips. And then after those were completed, we came back to Pennsylvania and I’ve spent the last few weeks slaving over a project for my AP Lit class. I decided to make a quilt.
Simple enough right?
Well…it is…until you decided to hand-stitch Shakespeare quotes.
Still not too bad, right?
…Well…this is true…until you decided to do TWENTY quotes.
Oh yes. And you may think cross stitching is easy, but it’s very, very, very time consuming and made me want to claw my eyes out on several occasions. This weekend though, I finally got all the quotes stitched and I had to make the quilt.
Which, you know, would have gone a lot smoother if the stupid sewing machine didn’t break! I was pissed. Well, not pissed. Just a total wreck.
So I took the project to school 2/3 of the way done and the teacher still seemed to like it. If I don’t get a good grade on it though…I might go a little bit cuckoo…
If I’m not already.
Which, I know I am. Haha.
But, that project is taken care with, thank goodness, so now (hopefully) I’ll have some free time on my hands to rant on about things that don’t really need to be said. And make you guys laugh. Sometimes.
I am very sorry…I don’t know how many of you are dying from lack of awesomeness…but I will try very hard to write more.
But just to let you guys know, prom is this Saturday…and then graduation is the 7th of June…and then it’s summer. So yeah. Not much really going on until then. Except finals. But finals schminals right?
…right?
Fun time.
So. I think I’m going to write another blog now…this was more just a catch-up/apology blog but I hope my avid readers will appreciate it.
…I don’t think I used avid right. But it sounded cool.
