I like Vaslav Nijinsky so much. But I do, and I intend to ask for a bunch of biographies and such on him for my birthday and/or Christmas.

I'm very disappointed that they haven't yet made a serious movie about him, and by "serious" I don't mean that piece of crap from 1980 with that Latino/Spanish guy playing Nijinsky (even though I'd still be interested in seeing it *cough*)... No, I want something modern and with decent actors, with a full depiction of the Diaghilev affair sans wishy-washiness and pussyfooting and beating around the bush or what have you. That will just get on my nerves. GAYNESS IS GAYNESS.

I don't know, maybe I'll write the script myself. In a few years.

I HATE MISSING SCHOOL.

This is the second day in a row I've been out, and the third day this quarter (and we're only a little over halfway through the first term). My school has been experiencing a pleasantly violent buffeting of germs, viruses and illnesses over the past week or so. Yesterday, something like 340 to 370 students were absent from school (including me), apparently due to sicknesses anywhere from the common cold to the DUN DUN DUN SWINE FLU. Because The County is telling us that we should "stay home if we have any symptoms" and that we should also stay home "twenty four hours after the symptoms are gone" just to be SAFE. Well, I don't have the time to be SAFE, because I hate falling behind, but here I am back to my normal body temperature of 97.7 (Lulz iknowrite) and I'm still home. D:< But, I know I can manage with my schoolwerkz, because I have before. One must be responsible when situations like these arise. And at least I'm not the only one <3

I roam to Germany, so it goes.

My tickets were booked yesterday afternoon via internet. Airline of choice is the ever-expensive Lufthansa, although we managed to find a cheap deal (the somewhat-not-really-though downside is that I have to leave in the late afternoon on a weekday). Hotel of choice is a small apartment in Southwestern Deutschland with four relatives and two cats. My ticket holder information also states that I asked for a "window seat" (even though I doubt I'll actually get one) and that I don't need a special meal despite the fact that I'm a vegetarian. It doesn't matter to me. I probably won't eat it anyway.

I'm to leave in late July and return in late August, about four days before school goes back in session; the trip lasts a little over three weeks and I'll be staying with family. Which is nerve-wracking. I'm not sure how I'll take to being shipped off to another country on my lonesome and living with other family for three weeks, but I guess I'll have to see how it goes, considering that the tickets are bought, so it's kind of a "That's That" as of now.

I really don't know what we're going to do there. It's kind of a long time. Really. And I don't know if they're (as in, my relatives --- second something or such cousins, to be exact) willing to travel round to other parts of the country (Namely the northern Baltic corner, AKA Mecklenburg) or if they just want to stay where they live. They say that we'll do all sorts of things. I should hope we don't spend all the three weeks exclusively in Baden-Württemburg, because that might get, how you say, boring. I also hope we go to Karlsruhe, because I can assure you that nothing's more fun to say than "Karlsruhe."

There is one thing that's for sure: I must, must, must work on my German. I've neglected it horribly since starting to learn a different language, and I must return to German now. XD Going there without doing so would be, I'd imagine, like showing up to a music audition without having practised the song you will perform; as in, you know it but you have hardly gone over it and will likely mess up and fail. So, yes. Study I must.

And that's really it. I know nobody cares, but perhaps I'll post something later on sometime with more detailz lulz. CAUSE I KNOW YOU WANT TO HEAR THEM

Trying to find a book that I can't recall the title OR the authour of. I can only remember how the cover looked, and about four plot elements (This is because I only read the flap once when browsing but didn't buy/read the book). Last saw book three years (Or more) ago at Border's. Sounds impossible, eh? >.<

The only things I remember regarding the book's plot: A boy, who lives in a city, and meets various people/becomes friends with them, and one is a transsexual. Now that I think about it, I believe they were neighbours. I think that the transsexual aspect is really the only reason why I remember this book at all, but O well.

How do I recall that it was about three to four years ago? Well, 5th/6th grade was around the time that I began seeking out all this LGBT fiction because I decided that there was no point in denying myself reading material that I'm interested in/may relate to just because I was afraid of what my family thought if they saw me reading it. Not that this is relevant at all, because I still can't find what I'm looking for. XD

The only thing that is in my favour is my sexy photographic memory [lulznotrly], because I can remember almost exactly what the book itself looked like. HERE I GO:
It was hard-back, and pretty long, I think, because I recall thinking that the book was really thick. And the cover had these black lines, I think, snaking this way and that all over the jacket---Maybe it was a map? And the title was in one of those fonts that looks like it was handwritten. There was a little bit of colour on the front too. I think it could of been the outline of a city or the buildings on a street block, but I'm not really sure.

I've scourged the Border's website, Amazon.com, GLBT book lists and bugged the good folks of Yahoo! Answers more than once, and I have found absolutely nothing that helps. I'm going to beg mein Vater to take me to Border's tomorrow since there's no school (and that's where I first saw the book), which sucks because I was there yesterday and he probably won't want to take me again. I think what's making it so hard for me to find it is that all I remember about the plot is the transsexual thing, and that was probably a minor character. And all the stuff I'm looking at has protagonists/major characters who are LGBT, and I don't think that the protagonist of this book was.

Ugh. I've been thinking about it all day and it's driving me nuts. I chose between buying this book, and two other books called "Totally Joe" and "Geography Club." I chose the one about Joe. It was a silly book. Now I wish I'd bought this one instead.

I want to bang my head against the wall, then stick it in the toilet and flush it.

'Tis almost the end of January. I am already over halfway finished with this school year. This makes me quite happy.

Today, also, we are off from school due to "Inclement weather" even though it's just very foggy and messy out. This also makes me quite pleased, because I have lots of time to work on PooNovel. It was actually snowing very hard yesterday; however those damn fools at the Board of Edumacation didn't decide to call school off early until after we'd already been there, suffering, for three hours. D:< So I could have had a five day break (Since I was home ill on Monday) but this happiness had to be sabotaged due to the ass-hattery going on at the Board building across the street from my high school. They suck.

In other news, PooNovel is coming along quite well. I've changed it loads since I last posted that chunk of dookie on my account in, like, October. I've even changed one or two character names, and that's because when I first began to write it I really wasn't concerned with plot elements and/or character development. The very novel, in fact, started off as simply a "Challenge" for myself to try and describe setting as best as I could, and that was it, and only afterwards I started throwing together an actual story with substance (If one would actually consider it a story with substance).

I don't like the name "Philippe" quite so much. That name was assigned in haste. I think perhaps Rémy would do better, or Rémy-Philippe. In fact, now that I think about it, when I was writing that bit I was preoccupied with THIS

Video clip and perhaps assigned the name because of that. Or maybe because it's just a boring, common French name. I don't really remember.

BECAUSE I KNOW YOU ALL DEFINITELY CARE ABOUT ALL THIS

+I tried to eat some "Tribe" brand red-pepper hummus with pita bread for lunch today; I usually like hummus but the red peppers and the orange tinge of the hummus made it look suspiciously like vomit. So I refrained from eating lunch today.


I'm finished wasting your time now. xD
