Mildly drugged up, boring stream of consciousness.
I've been feeling really antsy recently due to my prescribed meds. In class, I either stare really intently at the teacher without really absorbing a lot of what is being said or tap my fingers or feet anxiously. That's probably why I had no idea there was a Psychology test today. I think I did alright though.
The thought "this is probably the closest I'll feel to being high" just popped in my head, even though I know this is absolutely nothing like that at all. Meh.
I wrote this really nonsensical, dumb post earlier about the USC "Quick Takes" section when the side effects were more noticable than now. I deleted the draft of it, but I don't think you're missing anything unless you find humor in gibberish being used to respond to sections of college applications.
While I was in the hospital on Saturday, I overheard this guy in the other room quizzing someone else.
"Who's the President of the United States?"
I didn't hear the answer, but I assume the respondent got it right.
"Who's the Governor?"
I didn't quite hear the answer, but it sounded like he didn't know.
"Who's the...who's the Vice President?"
"Uhh...Bayhh...Biden? Biden."
The rest of the experience is kind of a blur after the IV of Benadryl was inserted into my veins. Almost instantly, I felt drowsy. The nurse kept telling me not to fight off trying to sleep, but I wasn't. I was just in-between consciousness and sleep I guess.
The conservatives (all two or three of them) in my Gov class are a very vocal minority, while the liberals just give halfhearted rebuttals most of the time. It's like Congress, basically.
While pulling out of the parking lot, my sister almost hit Gaspin's car. I think that's the third time she's gotten in an almost-accident with him or something. Hm.
I'm taking a driver's license test tomorrow for the third time. Man, I suck. I don't feel very prepared even though I've been driving for a year and a half or so now.
Today, my mom informed me that we're going to meet with her old friends in Palm Springs for Thanksgiving. I voiced disapproval of this, saying I thought her friends were "snobby." My siblings didn't agree with my assessment. I think "vapid windbags" was the term I was looking for.
I was thinking maybe we should put our college essays in draft form in the blog, then let other members write in some edits and suggestions. This way, we can get some feedback without publishing the essays for everyone and their mothers to see. (On facebook, that expression is actually almost literally true come to think of it) Not sure if I would actually do this, but just putting the idea out there.
Sorry, this post is a lot more pointless than I thought it would be. It'll probably seem pretty cringe-worthy once I see it with a clearer mind tomorrow. Whatever.
Eghh at least I'm kind of tired now. Goodnight.

Come Support!
Since I know everyone always likes seeing a new post on the blog (which is lacking these days), I thought I'd just remind everyone to come see Calabasas High School's production of Beauty and the Beast! It's a great show, so you should totally come support Sean as Lumiere, and myself as D'Arque (and five other characters).
Oh, and Matt plays the Bass Clarinet. You should support him too.

Today In History:
Nov 9th, 1938 Nazis looted and burned synagogues and Jewish-owned stores and houses in Germany and Austria on Kristallnacht, the "night of broken glass."
Nov 9th, 1989 Communist East Germany threw open its borders, allowing citizens to travel freely to the West. Joyous Germans danced atop the Berlin Wall.
Sesame Street Original Air - Nov 10, 1969
Edit: My bad Google. At least you had the dignity to change the Germany page halfway through the day.

Oh, Nick!
What do we have here?
If you can dream it, Nic Cage bought it: yachts, a jet, a castle, over 50 cars, over a million dollars' worth of comic books, multiple (supposedly haunted) mansions in New Orleans, two Bahamanian islands, shrunken heads that may or may not have been human, and, famously, a $500k Lamborghini once owned by the Shah of Iran. Most amusingly, Cage spent $276,000 on a dinosaur skull in a "heated auction with Leonardo DiCaprio." And though the article has details about Cage's many pets -- claiming that he kept antidote serum on his wall for the poison of his two King Cobras -- it neglects to mention at least one: Cage's pet octopus.
I guess he just couldn't afford some acting lessons.
