One week down, several to go...

Before I begin, I'd like to thank Potterlover for pointing out that it is 'Zac Efron' and not 'Zac Effron'. I apologize to anyone I might have offended by misspelling his name.

ANYWAY.

I finished my first week of high school today, and I have successfully learned three things.

1. I'm too smart for regular math, yet honors math overwhelms me.
2. My computer lab as Wacom Tablets, and
3. The Spanish teacher looks like Victor Krum. Yes, the Harry Potter character.

Out of all of those three things, numbers two and three most alarm me. Well, actually I am not alarmed by number two, because it's just a piece of software. Nothing to be concerned about. It's actually a lot of fun, working with a Tablet. For those of you that don't know, a Tablet is a drawing bit where a stylus is used instead of a mouse, and a pad is connected to the computer. You just get to draw using it in programs like Illustrator and stuff. It's the love.

I honestly have nothing to say about number three. I will, however, give you a link to a picture of Victor Krum so you know what the teacher looks like. If it helps, imagine him in a black suit.

IN OTHER NEWS. I went to an anime convention last Saturday, and I cosplayed. (Meaning, I dressed like an anime character and acted like a spaz. ) At some point during the convention, everyone started doing the Macarena so someone just had to record it. Meaning?

I'M ON YOUTUBE!

See the video of the week. I won't tell you which person I am, though. ;)

Isn't This How Punk Rock Got It's Start?

Mad-Hyphy Thing Of The Day: Teenage Anger. Lots of anger.

So my September issue of Rolling Stones magazine came in the mail today. (I've been getting those for free ever since I went to the Rock Hall of Fame in Cleveland.) I personally like reading it, it points out new bands and songs of genres I like. So needless to say, I like reading the magazine.


Well, when I was out getting the mail today, what should I find? Rolling Stones magazine! And who's that on the cover? Zac Effron! Well, I'm not a Zac fangirl, but he did look a little hot. I'd link you to a picture of him on the cover if I could find an image online. So I walk into my living room, anticipating reading the magazine. (Well, and looking at the other cute pictures of Zac.)

"My new issue of Rolling Stones came today!" I exclaimed cheerfully to my mom, setting down the other mail.

"Your dad and I don't want you reading that. You're too young." She replied, sitting over on the couch.

Oh. Well, dang.

"But it's got Zac Effron! He's young too!" I wheedled, hoping she'd give in. She fell hard for him in Hairspray, so I hoped that this could be a bargaining chip of some sort. "See him on the cover?"

"Fine." She said passively, and then proceeded to rip off the cover. "Any more questions?"

Yeah, don't you think it's funny that removing any 'bad influence' rock has is making me want to rage against the machine any more?

Excuse me while I convert to Emo.

Mad-Hyphy Thing of the Day: That time in the distant past when school started in September.

I'm sorry to tell you loyal readers (All three of you) that posts to this blog will become sadly less frequent then usual. Why? That really evil thing called school, that's why. Namely, high school.

Next Monday I have to report to...wait. I need to think of some awesome pseudonym for my school so stalkers don't kill me in the night. I think I'll use....Otaku High School. (For those of you that were paying attention, that's the name of the school in my story 'Technological Romance', happily living on AnimeSpiral. For those of you that weren't, isn't it time you read it? *points to link*)

WELL AS I WAS SAYING. Freshman Orientation starts on Monday for me, meaning I will soon have A) Little, or B) No time for blogging. Which is incredibly sad. Which is why I'm converting to Emo. (Note: Not Really.)

So I'll see you guys soon on The Fangirl Files. I love all of you, except you people I hate!

Curse you, Starbucks!

Mad-Hyphy Thing of The Day: Anything but Starbucks.

I can't even begin to tell you just how freakin' MAD I am at Starbucks right now. I decided to grab a quick coffee on my way home from my local shopping area, and that proved to be a disaster. Woefully, I decided to get an expresso caramel macchiato. Honestly? It tastes like neither caramel, nor expresso. It tasted like a liquefied rag used to clean out my oven.

Five dollar liquefied rag.

I swear! Is it too much to ask for lower prices, or at least a decent beverage around here?! I can't even type straight I'm so mad! Word to the wise out there, don't patronize Starbucks. Ever.

Music Time! Hooray!

Mad-Hyphy Thing of The Day: MC Lars.

Recently I've been exploring around iTunes. Well, by 'recently' I mean, 'for the past few months or whatever'. I didn't think that I'd have to do this, but I think it's time to make this post and ask this question: Honestly, how many of you people know who MC Lars is?

I thought so,

Plainly put, MC Lars is a rapper who defies every little rap stereotype. He's white. He went to Stanford. His songs are about Hot Topic, the internet, and Star Wars. And even though he's from the Bay Area, he's yet to be recognized by people.

But MC Lars puts the 'smart' back in 'smartass'. He's absolutely hilarious, using his, and I quote him, 'post-punk laptop rap' skills to to tell us just what we're doing wrong- in the politest way possible. Fans of mainstream rap beware, though, his song 'Generic Crunk Rap' might be a little condescending. But I, for one, couldn't stop laughing.

I recommend the song 'White Kids Aren't Hyphy' (Packed with Irony and Bay Area references!), the rock-esque 'Hot Topic Is Not Punk Rock', and the song 'The Room mate from Hell', where Satan is MC Lars' roommate.
