Didja ever play those games when you are in a group of people that you don't know, for some sort of event, and you have to go around saying one interesting fact about yourself? I find myself in that situation a lot, and I can never ever think of anything interesting to say. My mind blanks. I haven't been hit by lighting, I never met anyone famous. I figure I can't be THAT boring. So I decided to start a list. You'll get a random fact about me once in awhile on this page, so I can add to my list of things to say that are interesting about me. Since I'm actually met with a similar mind blurt right now, i'll start with something not-so-interesting, but something I noticed.
I seem to like really happy-sounding sad songs. Like, Kimya Dawson and Yellowcard. They have really upbeat-sounding songs but in the end they're actually kinda sad.
Some of my FAVORITE songs:
Kimya Dawson
More Kimya
Yellowcard

More college stuff
Just one new update, I got into Mount Holyoke. It's one of my top choice schools, so I'm really happy about that. Now i'm just waiting on 5 more!
On a random note, I've been feeling oddly happy for the last few days. It's really weird because I never really feel happy for a sustained period. Do you know what I mean? I'm not seriously depressed, but i'm just normal, indifferent, most of the time. Sometimes I get happy and sometimes I get sad. I've been just happy. It might have something to do with getting into Mount Holyoke, being on schedule in AP art, doing well in AP Physics, having a big design element in the Music Man, and having a potential female date to prom. =] I like this feeling.

Pi Day, but I only just remembered that a few hours ago.
Big storm last night. I could probably tell you lots of stories of fallen trees, but they all sound the same as the rest. Lots of power cut. Ours was out last night, but I wasn't here for it. I was driving home in it. O.O
The second day of TC was just as amazing if not better than the second. Each day had its epic awesome points. Still though, i'm a little ticked at the fact that I had absolutely no game. I NEVER get nervous talking to people, but god you should have seen me hiding behind a pillar for about 10 minutes trying to get up the nerve to approach this one girl before running off utterly terrified. It was as if I had reverted to 3rd grade follies. Gosh. It was more than a little pathetic. I believe I looked too straight. XD Is that imaginable? Not looking gay enough? There were a bunch of straight girls there so I'm guessing I was assumed to be one of them. I'll get a sign next year. (I'm totally going next year, college far away or not)
Today was also project runway. It was also really fun, and I'll put the video up on facebook later if i can. The best part was having my hair and makeup done. It was done for free by Total Look ( i looked at prices later at it would have been over $100 each girl) I loved my style, and my stylist was so sweet. The worst part was 20 minutes before the show when I found out that the store I was modeling for had sold the outfit I was fitted for, so all my planning for one look had to be thrown out and changed for the replacement outfit they gave me. I didn't like it as much, but I rocked it. That's showbiz. or model-biz. It works either way.

True Colors
Today I went to day 1 of the True Colors Conference. It was SO AWESOME. It's a conference for LGBTQIA teens and such. There are three workshop periods and 40 different workshops to choose in each. It was so wonderful to just be there and meet new people. I was so nervous though, I didn't get any names. I smack myself in the head for that because I really wanted to get to know a few more people better. I just hope they're coming back tomorrow. I'm waking up at 6 again tomorrow to go again, and I won't be back until 9-ish.
On a separate note, a couple of weird things have been happening to me. I'm the kind of person who partially believes in the supernatural. Like, not really, but when weird things happen to me I'm like"hm, this is pretty cool, maybe it means something." Like, I get deja vu at least once a week, and always consider it. One event that happened was at choir on Monday. We had just finished rehearsing a song, and were transitioning to another. We got about a 15 second break to switch songs. So there was some chatter as we ruffled through papers to get to the next song. While I'm doing this, I hear a sudden, sharp, and short call "Chelsea!" I jerk my head up at stare at the direction it came from, a little bit to the left of the teacher's desk but not quite at the door. I looked around the rows in front of my (i'm in the back row) expecting some upturned face. Seeing no one I still keep my eyes pinned to the spot. No one else seemed to have heard the call but me, although I heard it as if it was a quite audible yell. The room was quieted by Mr. Noyes, and we began our next piece, but I didn't move my eyes from the spot. Eventually I shook it off and got joined the rest of my choir singing halfway through the song.
Event two happened just today. It wasn't an event really, but just a strange coincidence. In the last workshop I went to there was a girl there. I girl who I recognized quite clearly. She captivated my gaze throughout the workshop. She spoke often, although not as I would expect her to. I had half a mind to ask her (after the workshop) if she was adopted, and if she was born in South Carolina. However, how odd would that be? Being approached by a stranger to be asked if you were adopted. It was nice to see a face though, be it long lost sister or not. She said during the course of the workshop that she had a twin brother, so I doubt that my colorful imaginings have any base in truth. It was a fun day dream. Or not so fun. If she really was Em's long lost sister I don't know if she'd want to know.
For today:
Good things: daydreams and trans boys
Lesser things: not getting names and numbers and missed zanda don't

if you could forget anything that ever happened in your life, or reverse anything that happened that was caused directly by you, what would you change?
uhm. I don't think I have enough foresight or hindsight to make that judgement.

Physics Phail
It's CAPT week, so a bunch of the periods are shortened while one is extending. Today I was suck with extended double lab AP Physics. o.o Surprisingly though, with about three hours of class time we did less physics than any other time.
There are only five girls in our class, so we devised a secret plan. Today we showed up dressed like guys and acted like them for the whole period. That distracted the class for most of the period, and we ended up watching "The Bromance is Gone" on youtube and other "manly" things. Also Matt brought bagels. So, that was the first period. Then later that day (because the schedule is so weird) we met up again for our second class of the day, the usual lab period. We actually did physics then, or attempted to. This is where things messed up. We're just finishing up Quantum Mechanic, and Quantum Electrodynamics... you'd think I'd be able to go back to 41 and do some simple projectile motion and friction right? Wrong.
As part of the AP test, there's stuff from last year on it, basic stuff like forces and energy. We got a review packet and had to work on a few problems. I don't know what it was, but I completely blanked. I drew the picture, set it up, and suddenly all physics equations and theories rushed out of my head. To make it worse, everyone else in the class completely got it. And so they should! This is your basic box-on-an-incline problem. And, because the rest of the class got it right easily. we didn't spend much time in class going over the questions. I talked to Heiden after class and he explained it easily, and I get it now. It is worrying though, how quickly I can forget. But it is understandable. We haven't done that kind of stuff in half a year, and I didn't take the final exam last year. My brain was kinda wiped clean after this Summer. I'm really worried to find out what other stuff I've lost in the process...

Accepted!
I got my first college acceptance today!
Clark University! It was my safety, and I expected to get in, but i'm still really excited. I also got a really nice scholarship to go with it- $15,000 per year. ^.^
I'm excited also because Clark had said on its website that we would hear "by April 1st." All my other schools also say that. If I got this one this early, are the more letters floating around in the near future for me?
