The Subprime Primer
My economics teacher showed this cartoon to our class today, and I thought it was hilarious. With house prices crashing around our ears and the financial market needing a bailout, Americans have a right to know the cause.
Caution: Explicit language. Please don't be offended.
The Subprime Primer
If you are so inclined, there is a version on Youtube with spiffily annoying voices.

Some art, I guess
Why is it that the precise times I shouldn't be doodling, I can't stop?
Well, whatever. I can't really complain; it's better than the past few months that have been bereft of art.
This is a re-working of a painting that I did two weeks ago. I took it to my art teacher, and now I'm not happy with it at all.
Decided to do a digital version of what it was supposed to look like :D
Well, besides the angry parrot.

*insert sounds of raving and pain here*
No matter how good an idea it sounds like, raving in the shower is detrimental to your health.
Quail has suffered some superficial wounds from doing said activity, as well as a nasty crack on the chin.
....She doesn't regret a thing, though, and maintains that it was still extraordinarily fun.
Which brings up the next topic.
WHY CAN'T HALLOWEEN COME FASTER SO WE CAN RAVE HARDER?

Falling blocks!
Hawk is watching her tetris rating drop slowly but surely.
I suppose this means that I got my rating by beating up newbs..which is nothing to be proud of.
Additionally, she finally received her keyboard and is now typing without an annoying auxiliary keyboard half-covering the touchpad.
..Maybe the next upgrade should be a mouse.

A Breath of Fresh Air
Sitting on top of a rickety, lichen-infested wooden structure. Underneath, traffic whooshes by, middle-schoolers wearing Heelys stomp past, and a Russian accent commands a child to stop climbing poles and go home so his sibling can "go poo-poo."
This is the top of the world. Rising above our troubles with parents and school and college apps, we are seated on the pinnacle of our high school lives.
But we had to stand on a recycle bin to get up there. Oh, the ignominy.
After these two weeks of hard work and disappointing results, we birds on our lofty perch ranted and laughed and chirped and squawked to our heart's content. Who needs Starbucks or movie theater tickets when public parks provide the best release from daily concerns?
Swinging on squeaky swings slung 2 feet above the ground. Feeling the wind in my hair. Experiencing the thrill and immediate fear of flying straight into darkness as I close my eyes and whoosh higher and higher...
Then calculate velocity at the lowest point if "a 40.0 kg child swings in a swing supported by two chains, each 3.00 m long and the tension in each chain at the lowest point is 350 N" (Physics for Scientists and Engineers, 173).
Release is great, but it's time to get back to work.

Lolling around
Not to be mistaken with LOL-ing around.
Sleep.
I craves it. Quail has gotten 12 hours of sleep in 3 days. Not enough, says she. AN OWL I AM NOT.
Fanfiction is the bane of my existence. I love it, I hate it, love to hate it, hate to love it.
But I can't stop reading. I suppose there's something wrong when I get most of my emotional fulfillment from reading other peoples' writings about other peoples' fictional characters. Maybe I'm just an escapist. Whatever the reason, it's still ridiculously fun in a guilty way.
Paycheck = happy!
