What comedian makes you pee your pants laughing?
Submitted by pookieb.

Russell Peters and Margaret Cho. God, I love me some Margaret Cho.

I find it odd that I always find the racist comedians hilariously funny. Does it say something about my own character? :(

What song best describes your current mood?
Submitted by Section31.

Feeder - Forget About Tomorrow.

Yes, so LJ's being a turd and until SA gets their servers back up I'm here.

This weekend was marked primarily by the influx of Final Fantasy XII related entries on my friends list. To all of you who have a copy, I'd like to say this: you guys suck. I am supremely jealous :( On the upside, I did go over to Paul's house to watch him play his copy of the game, but it's nothing like owning the game yourself and enjoying it all.

I have to say that in addition to Basch, I really love Fran. She's pretty farking awesome. And Balthier? I don't like Balthier as much as I thought I would, and am I the only one who doesn't think that his voice matches his face? It's like..way too deep or something. I dunno. That could just be me. The ADB battle system is really fun, especially the line things. I am really amused by the line things, aha. But on the downside, I really don't like the license system. I mean, you need a license for every single weapon/accessory you get?? Not cool! It makes for a more tedious game! Love love the gambit system though. And why is leveling so hard?

Yeah, but all in all I still want my own copy. It's not like I'd really have a chance to play, but knowing me I'd probably make time.

And I really hate Calculus...it boggles my mind. Now my brain hurts.

What's your sign?  What do you think of astrology and horoscopes?

Pisces! I actually think it fits me pretty well, too. I love reading horoscopes and astrological analysis, but while I do believe the analysis most of the time, the horoscopes I just read for fun.

Show us your favorite animal.

What's the best way to spend a rainy day?
Submitted by Vee.

Inside and bundled up under blankets with the AC turned down until it's really cold. And then nap.

I've been doing that for the past two days :D

NO MORE PROGRESS ON COLLEGE APPS, GAH. I'm so entirely busy this weekend too...I'm afraid that I won't even finish by the early decision deadline anymore!!

What are your weekend plans?

Work on college applications and study for SAT2s. Ahaha.

I AM ONLY HERE BECAUSE LIVEJOURNAL IS CRAPPING UP ON ME AND NOT LETTING ME UPDATE MY COLLEGE APP LJ D;

Yeah, so I'm totally not liking UPenn's prompt because I'm not creative.

4a. Describe the courses of study and the unique characteristics of the University of Pennsylvania that most interest you. Why do these interests make you a good match for Penn?

5a. (optional but I'm doing it as a back up because I know the mandatory will turn out like crap) You have just completed your 300-page autobiography. Please submit page 217.

And then there's UT's prompts, which I can completely fudge because I'm already guaranteed in thanks to the top 10% law Texas has. I don't think I will, because I'm applying to BHP (their Honors Business program) which is extremely competitive and they'll probably look at this.

A. Describe a significant setback, challenge or opportunity in your life and the impact that it has had on you.

B. Many students expand their view of the world during their time in college. Such growth often results from encounters between students who have lived different cultural, economic, or academic experiences. With your future growth in mind, describe a potential classmate that you believe you could learn from either within or outside a formal classroom environment.

Problems: I have no idea which classmate of mine I could learn from. I can't find the essay I wrote for my AP English teacher last year which would totally save me from writing Essay A. AHH!

Edit (3:26 PM)

It'd be fun to graphically show my progress...fot me at least, since it would provide me with small breaks. I did find that essay I wrote for my AP English teacher last year, so that saved me probably 3 hours of writing/being distracted! I have like one sentence of Penn 4a and I have no clue what I'm going to do for UT B. But the good thing is - I'M HALFWAY DONE!!

I have to get ready for a football game at 4:30 XDD Who knows, maybe I'll do some drafting in my brain during the game.

What are 5 things you'd like to accomplish in the next 5 years?

1. Start on my college apps Go to college and make the best of liffffffe! :D
2. Do an internship
3. Study abroad. Perhaps.
4. Start making actual plans for the super-kinda-secret project my sister and I plan to make much $$$ off of (no, I'm not kidding). In fact, if you find a five (though it might start off as four. We need time to make money to invest) star hotel called "The Classic" popping up in an area near you, THAT'S TOTALLY US.
5. Have at least one, extremely real, serious, and long relationship. Because I like the feeling of depending on someone.
