Test today \o/ And another like 8 degree change in temperature. /: I don't like it when the weather does that, my allergies are always worse when it does. Then again... they weren't so bad yesterday, so I think I'll be okay. And if I wash out my thermos and brew some extra-strong mint tea to take with me, that should help, too. And we might have a sub in AVID again today, which means we can't do binder checks, so I might not have to stay at school all day! Which would be very nice, though... it's not actually that bad. I'm starting to get over it.

Mint tea (not herbal tea, black tea + mint; I'd be more specific but that's all it says on the box) and honey go very well together. The honey taste mixes with the mint taste to make a delicious taste. ♥

La Tale seems pretty cool, too! It really is just like Maple Story (at least, from what I remember of my five minutes of playing Maple Story) but I can actually stand to play it. Level six already~ I can punch wolves in the face now, it's pretty awesome. (Actually I'm whacking them with a staff, and they're 'wild dogs,' not wolves, but still.) It's a little iffy, though. I can't seem to get to the next town, though I know where it is. At least, I think I know where it is. The NPC who told me said it was beyond the forest, but she neglected to mention that there's an ancient forest after the forest. I could barely get through the first forest ¬_¬; So I'm thinking I want to get to around level fifteen before I try doing anything amazingly risky.

It's strange; the character menu said that wizard characters were trickier for new players because of their low... something. Probably strength in regards to defence, or something like that; I don't remember. But it doesn't seem that hard at all. Maybe it's just because I've played stupidly difficult RPGs with major grind required before (/cough Phantasy Star /cough) so I better understand resources like HP and healing items and how far those things go, so I can apply that to any game I'm playing. Or maybe the game just isn't that hard, lol.

On the news there was just a story about a new tactic hotel workers are using in their picketing. One union drew attention to their protest by dancing in the lobby to the accompaniment of a brass band. Those hotel workers are awesome and they should feel awesome.

I'm out of tea and I still have like half an hour before I need to really start getting ready, since I don't want to sit around at school for half an hour by myself. I'll have to make more tea.

edit: Also, though this is kind of old news, there is a rogue satellite out in space. It no longer takes orders from its controllers on Earth, but it's still fully functioning and can, in fact, steal signals from other satellites. This satellite used to carry the SyFy Channel. I'm lolling at the irony.

Added a bunch of interest tags. Half of them I ganked off my first account, the others I just kind of added.

Am attempting to figure out tea. The internet makes it sound very complicated, unfortunately, but I think between the electric kettle and my basic understanding of the four different kinds of tea (as well as all the useless tea-related trivia I've managed to pick up, mostly within the last hour or so) I'm halfway there. There is a box of Irish Breakfast Tea teabags in the kitchen that, once I've managed to set up the kettle and find a suitable mug, will be calling my name.

I cannot wait until I get my own iPod. Then I will be able to perform such mundane tasks as making tea with a soundtrack. This is particularly amusing when I picture myself looking incredibly proper and dressed up and making tea for the morning... while listening to something like Mass Destruction. (Picked that video because I think it's funny whenever the camera cuts to Yumi Kawamura.)

It's just... it seems so ridiculous, but at the same time, that's me. I'm that girl in the pinstriped vest with the glasses and the combat boots and the Thermos full of tea, carrying her laptop in the ancient Fruits Basket messenger bag that's perpetually covered in cat fur, listening to Fall Out Boy and Lotus Juice and Kenji Yamamoto and Paramore and some live Nobuo Uematsu from that one concert I didn't get to go to when I was twelve, trying to read Harry Potter in French. And if those are all elements that seem contradictory, then I guess I'm contradictory. I'll think about that the entire time I'm sewing the patches to my Girl Scout sash. (But I probably won't be posting about it on Facebook, because nobody ever reads my Facebook posts.)

Wow, talk about derailment there. Wasn't I talking about tea earlier? (Yes. Yes I was.)

One of these days I'm going to have to make a list of all the artists in my iTunes right now. You know. For reference. (That may be after I steal the MC Chris off my brother's computer, though.) Since mum's up, tea is off the to-do list at present, so I might do that in just a bit.
