Songs to Remember: Under Cover of Darkness - The Strokes

        Getting something submitted to the Trove devs is a lot harder than I thought. Even when everyone else's submissions on the sub-reddit (believe me, there are a lot of em', and I'm not being biased either) are s****y, this mod still approves them. It's like "You get mod approved, you get mod approved, everybody gets mod approved! Except you, Drew. I'm not done with you yet".

        My submissions has the pictures, screenshots, design, and structure following the rules and is unique (I looked through the database for stuff that looked like mine. Found nothing), yet this one moderator is going ham on me and making me do these fixes on the thing. I know this is not something to cry about, I'm just writing this down so that I remember the feeling. Even after 3 full edits, the mod still ain't happy, so he tells me that he'll have other mods look at it. I'm like "Oooohhh myyyy gawwwwd" (in Jerry Trainor's Spencer voice). This means I'll have to wait even longer to get my other submissions posted, since they allow only one at a time.

        Yeah, so, this Trove game's been getting boring. By that, I mean, I having nothing else to do but grind on it. I did however, finish reading these 2 stories that my English teacher gave us all to read over the break. The first was this Chinese story called "The Kling-Kling Women". Spoilers, "Kling-Kling" is the sound of bells. It was an alright story, lots of uh, feminism stereotypes and stuff in it. The next story, a Vietnamese story, I forgot what it was called, but there was a character named Thom, who's best friends with this other girl (who is the main character). Not as boring as the other story due to there being more dialogue, but much more depressing. Like seriously, why bum us out on break.

        So, as I was bored, I wanted to tell the whole world. So I went on Skype and posted "There's nothing to do" to our (my buddies' and mine) Skype group. I was having second thoughts about posting it 'cause my best buddy's gonna get all an*l about it, but I posted it anyway. Yep, he goes "That's because you never choose to do anything. You joined KDT and VSA but you never went. There's a ton of things to do, you just choose not to do em'". And I just went offline after that. God, one moment, we're joking about hent*i, the next he's being an*l about me saying "There's nothing to do". Sometimes I just don't know why.

        But whatever, I'm gonna be having the time of my life next week (Yeah, that's the spirit, Drew). Turns out the dance is on Friday. Oh. Well. No preparation then, I guess i just gotta get home, change, and NOT be like "Walk into the club like 'What up, I got social anxiety and I wanna go home'". Yeah. Umm, Chinese New Year. I stayed home. What year is it? Apparently it's the year of the goat/sheep. I read this one article about the Chinese zodiac and the beliefs for people born in each year. For mine, the Tiger, I am supposed to be "Strong, courageous, a born leader and sometimes like to ride solo". Well, the last part is usually true. The rest, ehhhh. I'll find them true someday, heh. And with my classmates (Sophomore class, class of 2017), most of them are born in 1999, the year of the rabbit. I read the beliefs and it said "Protective, loyal, anti-conflict, well-liked and popular with a large circle of people".

        Well. Isn't that just accurate? Heh, that is scary accurate. Seriously, all of those people ARE popular, and with their "large circle of people", or in my terms, social circle. How do I know they're popular? Well, likes. Seriously, they get over 100 on each post and that's with people at our school, not random people. And yes, even the hi's and hello's at school and random hugs, that too. I am not popular, like, I can't even believe that my teachers know my name, heh. I never raise my hand to answer a question, mostly because I'm very tired each morning. Unless I feel pumped up, ready to go ham, I won't.

        And umm, tomorrow I'll need some new ink to print out my editorial to attach to my Honors English paper, Monday, I gotta make a counselor appointment for Tuesday morning to get a copy of my transcript (because apparently, websites charge you for having them e-mail it to you, and the school doesn't give us online access to our transcripts either, even for unofficial copies for s*** like Honors applications). And Friday, for fun party time. And new seats, most likely, or so, for Chinese. Also, we had new seats in Chemistry, don't know if I told about this or not. I am now sitting at the very frontz right in the middle. Next to me is a person I do not talk to. She said hi once, I said hi once, and, that's about it. And I think I told about the popcorn lab. I think.

        Alright, I think it's time for me to drown in my own thoughts, that's enough for today, see you tomorrow.
