so I woke up today (after skipping my first class and considering skipping the second... which is what I'm doing right now), and discovered a terrible thing.

THERE IS SNOW ON THE GROUND.

Nebraska sucks.  I'd be fine if I didn't have to go out today, but I have work at 2pm. -_-

in other news... HI JU DINOSAUR !

(ooh.  I've always wanted to use the strikeout.)

why must you bring us cold fronts? 

we had a lovely vacation from winter.  I just wish it wasn't a vacation.  that only lasted two days.  i wish it was a permanent change. 

but no.

sunday and monday were both lovely, clear, 50 degree days. 

tuesday morning, it snowed.  and the wind, oh how it blew.  not to mention it was a fresh 19 degrees. without the gusts.

tomorrow and thursday we're due for more snow.  at least we're not in a snowstorm.  though, if it were a snowstorm, then school would be canceled, and I could forgive the weather a little bit.

well, maybe not forgive, but at least grudgingly accept.

The weather teases me so.  Today, the sun has been shining and the air warmer than usual.  I even drove with my window down.  Despite the copious amount of snow still on the ground, I felt the feeling of spring. 

But as much as I enjoy this weather, I do hope it doesn't continue until after Christmas.  I don't want all the snow to melt.  It would be such a shame.

The Dragon laughed long tonight.

I went to a Christmas party that I was all in a tizzy about for most of the week, but it ended up being rather splendid.  I feel as though I got a large dose of cheerfulness that I needed desperately.  Despite my recent frustration with a certain organizer of said party, I managed to wash it all away and just have fun.  (Being a kind Dragon is much easier than being a mean one.  Well... actually, that's probably opposite, especially considering how I have to tame my own.  But a kind Dragon reaps much greater rewards.)

In other news, it's snowing again.  This is, what, the third time?  Before the last two snows had even melted, even!  At this rate, as long as it stay cold...... dare I say it?  Perhaps Nebraska will finally have a White Christmas again.  It's been so long.

In other other news, I have been pondering more upon my recent Dragon Theory.  Though I should be in bed and dreaming of faraway kingdoms, I shall tell you my ponderings.

I suppose the first reason this theory struck me was because of the book series Song of Ice and Fire.  I am in the midst of reading book two right now, A Clash Of Kings, and just as the first it is majestical and wonderous.  (Yes, majestical.)

In this series, there are characters whom they often mention carrying "the blood of the Dragon".  One of these characters I am quite fond of, and it seems that is where my theory draws its seed from.  As is this character, I am a Dragon, strong and fierce, short of temper but full of fire.  But I am a young Dragon, who makes foolish mistakes.  And I have the stubborn heart of a Bull within me as well.  Perhaps even shorter of temper than the Dragon, recklessly charging with horns pointed forward.  It is a powerful yet dangerous combination. 

And then there is the matter of what kind of Dragon I might be.  Given my recent fiery passion and short fuse, one would think that I am a burning red fire Dragon.  I myself would believe this, if not for another factor.

I have always been fond of the water element, though I cannot swim well, and partial to the blue hues of the spectrum.  As I was younger, I was attracted to the tranquility of the water, of the calm and the wisdom.  But water does not always lie still and peaceful.  The beautiful Sea can rage and destroy with a great anger, through storms that break ships and waves that crash upon shore.  The water is two-faced, as am I.  On a calm day, under a deep blue sky and a warm sun, the Sea rests gently, lapping at one's feet playfully, deceiving those who do not know her power.  Then a time would come where those foolish enough to believe the Sea always peaceful would be proven horribly wrong.  Whether incurring her wrath or watching as it destroyed another, there would be those who were changed forever, no longer taking the Sea for granted.

Might I be the same.  As I am now, I may only hope for being a shining blue water Dragon.  For all I know I may take to my element of the dark brown Earth, merely dreaming of the other elements that I love so.  But as I grow and learn, my bubble will shape, my form will change and my colors will show, and when I am wise enough to know it will come upon me.

Today (yesterday, technically), it snowed. 

Ironic, isn't it?  But, then again, that's Nebraska for you.

This has been a weird week.  I've been a pretty awful student -- skipping Japanese class the past three days, Music on Monday, and Astronomy on Tuesday.  But!  I got an 83% on my Astronomy test today, which I'm quite pleased with.  And I won't skip anything from here on out.  Except for on March 29th.  I'll skip Music for the Foreign Language Fair and spend the entire day with my sensei <3 eheh.

I've been really angry at the weather.  If it had only stayed springy and cheerful, I'm sure it would have carried my mood!  But no, it had to snow...and looks like it'll snow again tomorrow.  dlfkja;dlfjk  WINTER JUST GO AWAY ALREADY YOU'VE HAD YOUR FUN NOW LET IT GET WARM

...

Anyway.  Looks like I gots a full next few days ahead of me... an acoustic rock show tomorrow night... a friend Suzy coming in and staying over Friday... a formal dance Friday night (super excited!! free ...and free limo rides to there!)... old friends coming in on Saturday for a concert... uh...uneventful Sunday...

Then what's after that?  Hnn~  Britni is coming in Monday with her Japanese homestay personage Kana, so we can go Tuesday to pick out our room.  <3!!  I can't wait.  We find out tomorrow actually what time our appointment is.  Hooray~~

I'm pretty sure I'll start my period tomorrow (March 1st...cripes).  I feel it...

I feel like there's so much more I want to write, but it just has been a long day.  My brain is slowly exploding...

to remind myself: boys & downloading. cancer.

Once again, today is an amazing day weather-wise.  While earlier the predicted high was only around 45 degrees, it has suddenly found it's way to 58.  I'm so pleased!!  The wind is a bit strong, but it's nice in the way that is not the freezing, biting cold kind of wind.

All this spring-like weather makes me seriously doubt a snowstorm tomorrow evening, but that's what the weathermen are saying.  We're apparently supposed to get 6+ inches, maybe even up to 12 in some areas.  The only way I would be able to accept this would be through a snow day from school.  Otherwise, I am already in the spring mindset and I do NOT want to go back to depressing winter-land.

In other news, I applied for a scholarship type thing yesterday.  I just have to get a hold of two teacher recommendations before March 1st...but the two I asked have not gotten back to me yet!!  (A little worrisome...)

I'm hungry.  and I've also noticed that my thoughts on boys fluctuate an awful lot.  I wonder if I am PMSing.  I sure hope not.  I should check that out...

Dang.  I think I am.  Well, that explains a lot.

dear snow,

you're a week late.  JERKFACE.

love, markie.

yep, it snowed today.  a lot.  it's icy.  so unless they get the roads clear, the Guitar Hero party is off and I'm stuck here with my dad and  brother (without sparkling apple cider, no less).

Yep, I've been slacking.

But, I've been busy.  See, look!

Wednesday, I didn't actually get out of bed until 9, but then we cleaned until about 4:30 in the afternoon. 

Needless to say, I am POOPED.

Tomorrow (today? Thursday. whatever) I'm going to sleep in until noon, then go do something with my friend Ayumi and hopefully Burichu too at about 2 pm.  Don't know what we'll do though because I think I have to pick up my brother from school at like 4...

I'm still hoping for snow today. 

Man, I ate too much today!  We went out to eat for my dad's birthday at Olive Garden...gah, it was so good though...@_@

I successfully went to my friend Britni's Christmas pageant today as well.  She was absolutely BEAUTIFUL in it, I only wish there were more solo-singing opportunities for her because she definitely was the top voice.  ICHIBAN n stuff yeah.

I guess I don't really have much to say for tonight...I think I'm going to be making kolaches tomorrow with my mom...so I'll have to wake up at like 10 am...sooo early!!!  Also, today is my No AIM Day.  So, I'm thinking I might just go to bed early tonight.

You know, my mom has said this to me many times over the past few weeks, but when she told me today I guess it sunk in a little more than usual.  "Don't you want a guy who knows he likes you, rather than a guy who has to sit around and figure it out?"

Food for thought, I guess.  Ugh, wait, no more food...I'll barf, I swear...

Side note: it seems the predictions of snow are looking good!!  We might get a big ol' storm from Wednesday through Friday!!!!  Of course, this'll be bad on Wednesday because we are supposed to go clean out my Grandma's house...but whatever!  Snow for Christmas!!!  Let's go!  <3 <3
