[MR] Shower Thoughts: PAINT THAT SHIT PINK

Warning: random thought train with no purpose
So I was washing my hair and I randomly thought of this picture....

And it made me think of this video...

LOL that thumbnail is scary but love Luan

TL;DW - Nothing is scary if you paint it pink. Haunted houses? No prob. 

So Shampoo + pink = MAKEOVER~

Can you imagine if you just gave horror movie people thingys makeovers? Like Sadako could have pretty hair and witches would look more like the kawaii anime versions and all that blah XDD

I thought of the amazing Owl City Oreo song....

Wonder if I gave an Oreo 

To a vampire in a creepy show

Would he not act so undead

And would he thirst for milk instead

I've just got this feeling that it might

Work out all right

Replace lyrics with new idea:

Wonder if I gave a makeover

To a vampire in a creepy show
Would he not act so undead

And would he pick up chicks instead

I've just got this feeling that it might

Work out all right

Then I actually got out of the shower in an attempt to be productive.

But it's 12:30 and I didn't do any homework so we all know how that went.

[MR] Grand Concours

TL;DR I wasted an hour watching people who are better than me at French get cake and medals.

In March there was this French exam thingy called the Grand Concours. It's optional but you just take it to see how you rank in the nation.

When we took the test it was totally WHAT THE FUCKKKKK
The listening was so fast you didn't pick up a SINGLE WORD and the multiple choice part had tons of grammar we hadn't learned yet. I was completely hopeless.
Everyone was just like ...fuck that it doesn't count for our grade.

P.S. One of the listening things was talking about Japan and killing whales and I thought of 1. Whale hunting 2. "the Japanese killed all my whale friends" PAINT FTW Love him <3

So tonight. Or last night. Whatever TUESDAY NIGHT was this awards night thing. But not really. You get certificates depending on how you did and there was cake and you sat there for an hour.
The certificates are just lame printed things with your name scribbled on it, but cmon, even my brother's high school diploma looks like that (not really but yeah). Basically it was lame and blah.

They started with the lower awards. Ingrid did bad because she has 1st period Johnson and gave up trying and yeah it's not a serious thing so it doesn't matter.

I ranked in the top 20% and got a "Certificat d'honeur" which is pretty good! Btw Mami got the same

I'm still unhappy though. It's like.. it was pretty good but I could have done BETTER. A lot of the stuff that was on the GC like new tenses or whatever, we learned recently so if we took it now we'd only fail the listening.

A LOT of people got bronze medals for getting top 10%. Larry did! And Wilson and some other people and blahh. It was pretty cool and I was proud of them and they're obviously a lot better at french than me because I was clueless haha.
THERE WERE EVEN LIKE 2 SILVER MEDALS, WHICH IS TOP 2-3%.
And these are in the fucking NATION. GAHH.

So while I'm happy with what I got b/c I did pretty good, I'm still kind of unsatisfied....

If we have this next year maybe I'll try harder.
HA jaykay we all know that will never happen....

Oh but seriously though! It is getting really hard to learn French in class my brain just shuts down and it gets kinda jumbled up in my head. I might start posting lesson study guide type things on year (on a new page) you don't have to look at it but I'll have a ton of review on there.
~MR.

P.S. I had something that I was like haha that's funny I'll add it as a little note at the end but I forgot what. SO, this.

I couldn't stop laughing like an idiot at that second gif.

[Jules] Anime to watch, books to read

I just started watching Nichijou and it's so my type. Kinda reminds me of Lucky Star, the simple plot. Which is perfect, because I'm not really into huge complicated, life-changing plots.

The reason I started it is because I was watching these scenes on YouTube about procrastination. They described my life so accurately. I love that character with the brown hair, I forgot her name. It might have been Mio. But yeah, LOVE HER.


List of anime to watch/sample so I don't forget in the future:

-Sugar Sugar Rune (almost done)

-The Daily Lives of Highschool Boys (started this over a year ago, must finish)

-Toradora (must start)

-Attack on Titan (only because people are making me, otherwise it seems too serious for my taste)

-Lucky Star (must finish)

-Hetalia (I should've watched this before I took Euro)

I happen to disagree with your cute slice of life tastes sometimes  but YES.  Watch Hetalia with me. And you probably would have loved Euro.

I'm sure I'm forgetting a lot, but who cares, I still have a list of books to read/finish. I usually read the same books over and over again to the point of memorization. I still read the same books I read since second grade. So yeah, my brain is overwhelmed by the new books I have to read, including:

-PJ The Mark of Athena (priority, must find out what happens to my beloved Nico)

-Looking for Alaska (not hooked yet, but it's starting to get interesting)

-Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close (why did I pick this long book for my ORB, I should've done PJ. Seriously. It's a but too heavy for my taste, both literally and figuratively.)

-Please Understand Me II (MBTI/Keirsey Temperament book. It just came in the mail today.)

I have a whole list I will never get to...

I should be glad I have so much stuff to do, but UGHHHH IT'S SO OVERWHELMING. It would be awesome if I didn't have any schoolwork, but nooo, school goes on even after AP testing. Ven stupid Euro. I want to kill the Collegeboard for coming up with such stupid stuff.

[MR] Pimpin My Desktop 2 - Part 1

Second version of this post from September

Let's see what I actually achieved this weekend.. hmm... NOTHING.
I was gonna make my desktop all cool again but that's annoying and you know how the internet works, you never find what you're looking for you just get distracted by all the pretty things...

BUT I really like my wallpaper :D

Isn't it super nice? Idk what song it is though orz

My other option. Also really nice. Also don't know what song...

I got these from some anime wallpaper site. Idk, the one on mangahere.com

My taskbar is on auto hide, but it's a reddish color to match.

Also changed my mouse cursors. All my desktop icons are the same. 

This is my usual cursor

This is the link select one

The link select one gets surprisingly a lot of use, if not just when reading manga XD anyways they're cute.

My Chrome theme... damn why are these so hard to find!! If you can find a good one, please tell me. 

This is my current theme. I like it but ehh. Idk. 

http://www.themebeta.com/node/15599
This is cool, what are you talking about? I had this Rilakkuma one for a loooong time now. I really like it ^^ But there was a crappy version and a good version. I think this is the good version. http://www.themebeta.com/node/36192

Facebook! Apparently it didn't make it to my old post, but right after that I found this app for changing your Facebook theme called Social Extras. It has tons of themes and works well... except there's TOO many themes and you can never find one because they're not that nice (well isn't it the same for everything). 

You can also create your own theme, so I did that. I made the top bar a peach color and made the boxes or whatever semi transparent so you can see the background. Is it a lot of work/hard to do? Because I remember the times when I tried making my own Google Chrome theme. It didn't work out. At all.

The background is the sakura Miku pic from earlier. Super pretty :3 AHHH I am so sick of the blue layout, I am so using this thing.

Notice you can't chance the button color on the top bar and the app adds its own button. The button lets you change your theme on the website or pick a cursor and some other stuff. It also puts some ads on your page but I have adblock *guilty* My chat bar is brown because of my Rilakkuma chat extension  WHICH NOW HAS HELLO KITTY AND ONE PIECE. AHHHHHHH I never really liked Hello Kitty though. I wanna get into Sentimental Circus but there's barely anything of it...so buying up if we're going to Korean Market on our Korean field trip to Santa Clara.

Uh I think the custom theme only works on home page and your prof and not on other people's profs which doesn't matter because I'm not a stalker.

Uhhhh my train of thought just crashed but I'm pretty sure there wasn't anything important.

Random tidbits:

I went downstairs to get water and came back upstairs with a cookie instead. This is a good representation of me as a person. Fickleness?

http://pokemon.alexonsager.net/ is legitly the greatest thing I have ever seen seriously I could not stop clicking.

Weepinbell or Lickitung + anything = GOLD. HAHAHAHAHA THIS IS AMAZING WHERE DO YOU FIND THESE THINGS

And Butterfree and Tentacruel are pretty terrifying. I accidentally did Weepincruel and that was pretty gross.

Almost done with English paras, so night!

[MR] TFiOS Casting + other crap

AUGUSTUS WATERS HAS BEEN CASTED! OUAIS! :D

Shailene Woodley was casted as Hazel.
She played the main slut in Secret Life of an American Teenager, and some other roles. Right now she's filming Amazing Spider Man 2 as Mary Jane.
She's super pretty and has experience so I have high hopes.
Except most of my hopes come from the fact that she's a fan of the book :D John Green said that she really understands the book too OUAIS!

Ansel Elgort is Augustus. What an awesome name.

He was in some horror movie called Carrie that I will never ever watch so uhhh. Total mystery to me.

HERE'S WHERE IT GETS KIND OF AWESOME.

Woodley and Elgort are filming the movie for Divergent by Veronica Roth (which is on my "to read" list) and they're playing siblings. It's kind of awkward to be working together as siblings than lovers BUT this means they will be familiar with each other and work well together making TFIOS EVEN MORE AWESOME (which is almost not possible because it's already off the charts ((MAKE BIGGER CHARTS!)))

That's it for TFiOS so you can stop reading..

In English we watched the Mickey Mouse version of Midsummer Night's Dream so I was thinking about "disney" and "midsummers" (because my mind is like Google, you search a key word and get millions of unrelated results. To be more awesome and TFiOS about it, My thoughts are stars I cannot fathom into constellations)

I randomly remembered that there was an episode of The Suite Life of Zack & Cody where they performed Midsum. 

It was season 2 episode 22 and Selena Gomez was guest starring. The whole thing is Midsum within Midsum because while they are practicing the play, Zack (Lysander) likes Vanessa (Helena) who likes Cody (Bottom) who likes Gwen (Hermia) who likes Zack. 

When they perform the play they just all start fighting and blah so Puck just comes and says "Give me your hands if we be friends And Robin shall restore amends" and magically everyone calms down.

Full Episode

How young were these brats omg. All the actors are 20 now, but I remember watching this when I was little and thinking they were actually old even though they were probably like 13.

But how great was Bottom's donkey head? LOLL

Currently attempting to customize my desktop again. It's a super long process because there's lots of stuff you can customize and thanks to the internet, I'm getting major distracted by cute stuffs. I'll try to track my progress.

[Jules] DIY Tinted Lip Balm

Remember once on Tried and Tested, Shu An made a tinted lip balm by melting Vaseline and lipstick on a spoon?

Yeah. I tried it today. While my mom was picking up Anna from piano (Roy's mom, btw). I was trying to work fast so I could finish before my mom came back, but it was surprisingly quick. It took maybe...two minutes max? But that's also because I had the lipstick pre-cut.

I love this. I wish I made more.
