Writing binges...

School is winding down and I'm coming to the end of school for the year.

The problem with this is that I have a problem with finishing my school papers. I'll begin them on the specified day, but I won't finish them. I'll have this file of incomplete papers on my computer and I'll keep putting off doing them.

I'm homeschooled, but this doesn't mean that I don't have to get my papers graded. Oh no. I'm sure as heck not that lucky. I use a program named Seton Home Study School and I have to upload my papers to the internet for the graders at Seton to grade them. That's how I get transcripts and report cards etc.

The transcripts aren't available unless my papers are uploaded and graded, and my papers can't be uploaded and graded unless I write them. Thus one can see my dilemma. Added to this is that I need to take classes at the community college this fall and they need my transcripts.

My mom has been urging me to write my papers for this reasons but I've been putting her off. My dad learned of this on monday, and do you know what he did?

He told me that I couldn't do anymore normal school until I finished my papers. Told me I had to go on a writing binge. And there is the inspiration for this post and its title. Luckily, I finished them all by the friday of that week and I'm catching up on school this week.

Writing binges are productive. I'm all caught up! I guess it should be a lesson for me, but I still don't like finishing my papers. Thank heaven for school ending soon!

I've noted...

That I never post. That is SAD. I'm a sad, sad little girl.

Heh, okay, personal quotes are over.

So guess what? My brother-in-law elect just graduated! WHOO-HOO! We went. It was pretty dang fun.

Also, when we arrived home after our seven hour trip from the graduation place-thing, my AlphaSmart Neo had arrived! Check it out, it rocks so far. It's essentially a keyboard with a snickers bar sized screen that is awesome for keeping one on track writing and not getting distracted by the internet, etc. In other words, its AWESOME!

I didn't win the film festival :( by the way, but I got a $10 gift card for participating! Hurray! Here's it, for all who wanted to watch:



It was very fun to make, for the record.

I'm procrastinating schoolwise today, but I should start soon. I end school in June! I'm so excited! YAY!

Okay, back on topic(ish). I was just referred to this amazingly funny blog post comparing Edward Cullen to other fictional characters, and who would beat who in a fight. Click.

Example:


Arguably the most powerful of the X-Men (that discussion for another blog), this mutant hero has at least 70 years on Cullen. Advantages: Wolverine (Logan to his friends), to my recollection, has never stalked a woman 90 years his junior, and the only thing sparkly about him is his razor-sharp claws.

Powers

• Can regenerate any damage, up to and including being disintegrated.
• Superhuman senses and agility.
• Skeleton is coated with a nigh-indestructible layer of Adamantium.
• Claws of same Adamantium, which can cut through everything.
• Can move on after a personal tragedy instead of dwelling on it for nearly a century.
  

The Skinny:

Probably the most even match of this exercise. While Cullen may have an advantage in speed, Wolverine has an edge in combat experience. Also, when Wolverine enters his "battle rage" he relies purely on instinct to control his actions. Edward mind-reading advantage would therefore be nullified.

The Verdict:

By virtue of this being a near-even match, I am tempted to call it a draw, but since Wolverine's Adamantium claws are made of the strongest substance in the known universe, I'm assuming Cullen won't be able to deliver the decapitation required for a killing blow. On the other hand, said Adamantium can cut through simply anything, which therefore must include vampire flesh. Winner: Wolverine.

Loves it.

Enjoy! I leave now to do school (:P)
