"But When the Sun Hits Your Eyes..."

[psalm_onethirtyone]

I'd just like you to know, whether you want to or not, that my girly bits are currently protected by cows.

Now that the daily TMI is done, a quick summary of the day: slept until noon, didn't start anything until two, did maths, got distracted in the middle and wandered around poking stuff, read music appreciation and laughed a lot, went back to maths, searched two rooms for a protractor, started grammar, stopped, did some chemistry, walking into the kitchen and ate a lot, went back and looked at the ceiling, ate more, lay on my back on two chairs for a while, did more grammar, stopped completely and built a theatre out of cardboard for my two paper bag puppets from the Adirondack museum, made posters for THIS EVENING'S PERFORMANCE OF JANE EYRE, rehearsed the play for two minutes, did more grammar, stopped, ate dinner, helped brush the dog, helped clean up dishes, performed Jane Eyre, performed Cinderella, performed Sleeping Beauty, started Hamlet, read some from Hamlet, fussed, ate ice cream despite feelings of guilt, tried to watch a film but couldn't sit still, got online.

...It's like having ADHD.

We discussed things I could do that would get me out of the house; karate, rejoining the fencing team, starting classes at HACC, joining a theatre group, going back to school. None of these has been accepted as a solution. But everybody does think I need something to do, which is probably true, because just at the moment the only times I leave the house are for work on Monday and library on Friday, and apart from that I'm home all the time, and usually for long periods of time I'm completely by myself. We also talked about me getting a job so I could go out and be doing something actively, but we're not sure whether that would help.

Otherwise, Mum's car finally came back from the dealership, and she says it's good as new. To-morrow she and one of her friends and Waen are going out for lunch, and then they'll go to car class. Since Daddy will be golfing all day, I assume I'll be cleaning and doing all the schoolwork I didn't actually do to-day. XD

XD She's-- let's just say childhood was interesting. ADD is really something.

*pokes?* Maybe. In some ways, the right kind of job could be perfect. But--you know what happened the last time. And if your parents are talking about it, then you shouldn't feel guilty. They wouldn't consider it, and they certainly wouldn't agree to it, unless they could afford it. Okay? You're only in the talking stage, so you don't to need rule anything out now. Besides, maybe there's something that's free?

I win.

You have my sympathy now and for-ever?

*eeeeps!* I know, exactly, right? I'm scared of another horrifying experience. But--I know, but. ;___; There's much better stuff we could spend money on. --There might be. I could volunteer somewhere. XD

You do. :D

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

Oh, good!

*pokes mooore* And you really don't need another one of those. Waen is taking a car class, right? And so is Mum. I bet that costs money? So if you find something you like, just think about it. I was going to poke at HACC for you, but the website appears to be down. --You could...! You could go to the library more, as that seems relatively stress free? I don't know what normal people do. When I was your age, I got up at 6:30, left the house at 7, and didn't get home until 5 or 6. And then I fell asleep. XD

Yay. :D

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

:D You're welcome.

Well, yes, but. It actually is part of Waen's future job, you know? ...HACC IS DOWN. NOW I POINT AND LAUGHT AT IT. ...It is, but they don't really need me more than I come. I don't know what normal people do, either! *squishes*

^_^

So? That's completely beside the point. It isn't like you can be taking surgery classes now, after all. ... CAN I HELP? *POINTS AND LAUGHS* ...Hm. What else is there? *thinks!* Does the museum take volunteers...?

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

I mean, it has practical value. ...YES! *DANCES ON SITE* ...Ooooooo. I wonder if it does. That could be awesome.

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

Well, what could you do that has practical value? If you went to school, it'd be so easy to find an extracurricular. x____x --YAY. :D ...I just looked and it does! It doesn't say if they have an age requirement. At the museum where I worked, it was 14 with a parent's permission.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

I don't want to go to schoooooool noooooooooo. ;___________; --:D :D :D :D ...That's awesome. Ohhhh. Maybe I could do that...! I'd love that.

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

I know. I'm just saying. There's absolutely nothing wrong with school, though, except that I think that if you were going to go back, you should have started in 9th grade, when everyone else was new, too. My point, though, was that all the stuff I did was in school. The literary magazine and the newspaper and clubs and such. -- Eeee. You should check it out! There's a phone number and an email address here. :D

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Well, also there are my peers there, and I'm scared to death of my peers. Anyway, technically all those things are open to homeschoolers or have things that are essentially the same elsewhere. There's a law that says schools have to do that. --Eeeeeeee! *clickies!*

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

Well, you could check into what local schools have, then...? It would be small groups of peers who like what you like. ^^ And free. -- :D :D :D Are there other museums in Harrisburg? XD

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

I should. I know. I'd just like to convince myself that I hate them and they hate me and we're not meant to be together. XD -- I don't know, actually. I don't really know anything about Harrisburg.

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

Yes, well, that's self-sabotage again. A lot of people on your f-list are your age, you know. --Hm. Well! If that museum isn't taking volunteers, maybe they can suggest somewhere that is.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

...They don't act my age. --That makes sense. ^____^ I think I will send in an application.

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

People your age act all sorts of ways. You're going to have to deal with your age group eventually. Again, I'm not necessarily advocating throwing yourself at a bunch of high schoolers, but. Check it out. -- Eeee. I helped. :D

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Yes, but maybe people my age aren't as scary when they hit college? I don't know; I interacted with people my age this summer, and all they did was talk about how everything was gay and retarted and also sex. -- You win.

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

--no, actually, they're about the same when they hit college. Or that particular subgroup is. --I know. :D I've been doing that a lot lately.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

--Great. -__- I'm going to homeschool through college, too. --I know! This is clearly your month of win.

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

I went to public school. --I hope I don't start losing just in time for December. Finals and application deadlines and things.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

And I'm still trying to figure out how you turned out awesome. --Bleeeeehhh. Maybe this can be your season of win.

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

Hey. --Yeah, right. XD

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

:P It's true, it's true--! -- ...Your season of win at me.

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

You're calling everyone I know dysfunctional. Besides, I think of not going to public school as a negative thing. -- ...weeeellll...

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Not dysfunctional! Just scary. And here it's a positive thing. ^^;;;; --Well?

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

...and that's better? XD If you can get through public school, you can get through everything. --Maybe.
