Anywho, I've been busy. This is the time of year when everything gets super crazy for me and I spend more of the day at school than I do at home. But the weekend is coming up, and I'm glad! And you?

(Sorry for the delayed reply; I'll try and get the next one to you faster! )

My school changes our classes every semester, and a week ago marked the start of the second semester shift. I'm a little bummed because now I have math (pre-calc, nonetheless!), but at least I have a spare and Art in the morning! Though nowadays my spare is spent finishing math homework... but otherwise I'm alright!

Ah, I see. My school doesn't do that -- we're stuck with the same classes all year long, which has its good points and bad points. But since I've never had it any other way, I'm not gonna complain.

(I'M SORRY! But at least I've gotten to this one rather quickly, huh?)

From what I hear, most high schools in Canada work this way, so I can't say I can complain either. I wouldn't mind it if we could go back to the elementary school system of Same Schedule All Year, but meh. :/

(I met the guy last year - everyone at school knew his name, and I had the BIGGEST friend-crush on him but didn't want to bother him because he seemed too cool for me. Turns out he wanted to get to know me, too, and we were friends six months later. And then almost three months ago, he asked me out. So short story, if I had any secrets to tell, I'd tell you; I'm as mystified by this development as you are! )

I dunno if I'd be able to stand a system like that... My binders for all four of my classes last semester were almost full by the time I was done; I'm almost scared to know how heavy eight subjects would have been!

You only have four classes? Ugh, lucky! I have six each day (used to be seven, but this year I somehow wound up with a study hall that took the place of one of them) and it can get pretty tiring. Only having four classes per semester sounds awesome by comparison.

(Yes, that I can understand . . . I think both myself and my guy-friends would be duly freaked out if I attempted to cuddle up to any of them. )

The schedule allows for up to eleven classes a year (as was my case last year), but this year I couldn't get into a couple of the classes I wanted, leaving me with two study periods this year and one per semester! But seven classes a year sounds pretty neat, too...

(I end up cuddling with my female friends sometimes - just draping myself across their lap or leaning on their shoulder or whatnot. It's all in good fun, and sometimes I get cuddles like that in return from them! )

Yup! Four classes per semester, and then two classes that switch between each other all year round. Hang on, that doesn't add up... I'm in pre-calc this semester, I shouldn't be doing this!

Don't worry about it. I'm in calculus, and a few weeks ago I had to use a calculator to figure out 2+0.5. It's kind of an accepted fact that being in higher math cancels out your ability to do simple math.

And evidently, these last few weeks have nullified my ability to solve an equation that doesn't contain or a variable, or at the very least it's hindered such skill. XP

(The guys I hand around with do that, too, though other groups of guys try to do the same thing and someone ends up in a headlock. :/ Most of the time my group plays Ninja and it dissolves into a tickle war. Which is extremely unfair since my boyfriend isn't ticklish BUT I AM. )

Apparently, though, my disliking of math was inhertited. Neither of my parents like it, despite my dad being an engineer. (Imagine him, though, coming from a small town in BC to attend military college in Ontario, where grade 13 is a thing and his professor was a grade 13 teacher a tone point... )

(Oh, of course! A mutual liking for cartoons and weird movies works just as well for bonding fuel, though! All of my guy-friends cheat when we play Ninja, though, since most of our mutual female friends are extremely ticklish and/ or short, so they can tickle us or pick us up if they lose. -_-)

"Get Down, Mr President"? Heh, that one was brought up by the guys. Basically, someone in the group (of three or more, preferably) puts their fingers to their ear, as though listening to a Bluetooth. When the others see this, they all do the same, until one person is left without their finger to their ear. Everyone else shouts "GET DOWN, MR PRESIDENT" and tackles that person. In my group it ends in hugs, in others it can be ended with a football tackle.

I think the fact that the cosplay is generally rather subtle lets us get away with it. My writer guy-friend dressing up like one of his characters and slapping a electrical tape H on his forehead might've pushed it, but the whole school is used to his weird antics. Most of the time, if our cosplays have elaborate accessories, we bring them out at lunch, so the school generally doesn't get mad at us.

QuaxoRascal In reply to FantasiaKitty [2013-04-28 00:11:58 +0000 UTC]

"Rather subtle" entails having the very basicest of the cosplay down. My friend, for example, cosplayed the Scout from tf2 several Fridays (this idgit: [link] ): he came with a red T-shirt with the sleeves rolled up, brown slacks (also rolled up), baseball socks, his regular shoes, and a belt. He wore a black baseball cap and an Xbox headset at lunch, and the bag, weapon, and dogtags were omitted. For this, it helps to cosplay a character with a rather basic outfit: no armour or complicated hairstyles.
Did that help?
