I just had an awful, brilliant, stupid idea.

Make some meringue. Dollop it out onto a baking sheet in little circles or ovals. Lightly toast, especially along the edges. Press a circle into the middle. Place a dollop of lemon custard in the middle.

FUCKING LEMON MERINGUE DESSERT EGGS.

I so do not have the time or the equipment to make this right now, but holy fuck, I am finding a way to make this when I go home for the summer.

Rocky Horror was awesome. It was just... ahahaha. Amazing.

( Details on the night and my devirginizing under the cut )

Very fun night, and I so want to go and see it again next month.

Oh hey, I just found my Meatloaf CD. So here, have some epic rock spam.



Now that? That is true rock.

Also, did you know that Meatloaf and Tim Burton had planned to make a Batman musical? Somehow I doubt it would be as epic as this one.

Scored 95.5 out of 100 on my first geology exam.


Fuuuuuuck yeah.

So, there are very few things that make me literally fall out of my chair laughing. But Voldemort tap dancing is definitely one of them.



(Voldy starts dancing at about 3:20)
And if you liked that, check out the rest of A Very Potter Musical, you can watch the all of it starting here. Trust me, it is hilarious.

So hey. I graduated on Monday.

The ceremony had bubbles and a beachball. Everyone did the wave when dipolmas were being handed out. My lit teacher made faces at me from the audience. And we were our school's largest graduating class in five years at 178 strong.

And. It's over. I'm an adult now. I go to college in August. It's pretty awesome.

I GOT THE AMIGO SCHOLARSHIP.
IN-STATE NEW MEXICO TUITION PLUS $500 A YEAR FOR BOOKS.
I'M GOING TO UNM FOR SURE.

I DECLARE THIS FANTABULOUS AWESOME CAPSLOCK NIGHT. AWWWWWWW YEAH.

I saw DeVotchKa in concert for the first time last night! I've heard a lot about their live performances, so I had some pretty high expectations. They did not let me down!

It included some amazing light shows, a classic string ensemble, and the thing that makes DeVotchKa the most unique band I've ever heard - a theremin. Of course, it would not have been complete without their trademark stunt of hiring Burlesque dancers for the show, and their grand finale featured two such women doing amazing tricks on giant scarves suspended from the ceiling.

It was a fantastic show, and one of the most unique concert-going experiences I've ever had.

Also, they had an indie band play the opening called Quixotic. They were really cool too - their music was sort of new age, sort of marching band, sort of gypsy. They also featured some wild light shows and a group of ballet/belly dancers. I dunno if I'd listen to them on a regular basis, but the performance certainly was awesome.

Today, history was made. An African-American man became president of the United States. Everyone knew this was coming since early November, but it wasn't until today, after watching Barack Obama take the oath of office and give his speech, that it really hit me.

Now, I don't post political stuff on here, because I don't want any drama happening because of anyone's political views. But... today, I hope that Republicans and Democrats and all the independent parties can put their differences aside and just appreciate the gigantic step forward we took as a nation today.

The world seems a bit brighter today, and the promise that was made to me, and to thousands of children all across America when we were in first grade, that no matter who we are, we can do anything, even be president, seems like an actual promise now, not just a stock saying used on kids.

Hello, internet. You should all be told now - when I have little interaction with any of my offline friends for two weeks, I get chatty. So. Today went from Awesome to Bad to Worse to Better to Awesome Again.

It started out when I went to my Kung Fu class this morning. I was walking the two blocks from my house to the dojo. My house is on a nice, quiet street, Dojo is on a major street. Located in a sort of... triangle from the two locations is an orphanage which has a little natural area that a bunch of red foxes live in. They hunt along a ditch that runs underground from the orphanage and opens up close to the dojo. I was at the busy street, about to cross at a light to get to the dojo, and whoosh this fox jumps up from the ditch, races across the quiet cross street, and runs past me, rounds the alley corner, and is gone. It was a young one, or just small - about a foot tall and two feet long. And I know this because it was A FOOT AWAY FROM ME. Just... just... just... squeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

When I got into the dojo, I went to the bathroom to change into my uniform... and threw up. So they sent me home. This was about... 11:15.

I got home, fell asleep, watched some tv, and then about 1:30, ate some lunch. And then I threw up again.

Then, tired and icky and upset, I poked around on the internet. And saw the The 11th Doctor. I know wank is coming from all over the place about the choice, but I like him. He's really young, yes, but he's kinda... weird lookin'. I always felt Tennent looked too normal for the Doctor, but this guy looks like a younger 9. (Also, this fits with me and my friend's theory that Time Lords age backwards, and that the wizard Merlin was a Time Lord.) Also, I was able to eat dinner and keep it down.

And finally, the awesome again part. There's an indie movie theatre downtown. Once a month, they find rare/significant/historic movies and show them for free. We went this week, and the movie was Fred Astaire and Ginger Roger's Top Hat. This... this was one of my favorite movies as a kid. This was the reason I wanted a top hat. Seeing in on the big screen was, like... the universe's way of apologizing for me feeling like crap. Thanks, Universe.

Okay, that's it. I'm going to go sleep some more, 'cause I'm just... bleh.
