magedragonfireListening to Time's Grasslands right now - and the bass in my subwoofer is turned so high that I can feel the keyboard vibrating under my fingers. ^^; Eeesh.
I'm feeling better today than I did yesterday. Getting a B in MACM still seems like an impossible task, but... ^^; I just can't stay depressed for too long. Especially after a rousing day of sugar/caffiene and movies and friends.
As alluded to by the title of today's blog, one of said movies was Iron Monkey. ^^; Chinese movies such as that are weeeeird. Funny, amusing, but strange and campy, hehe. All good things.
Other one was three parts of the Animatrix - Final Flight o' the Osiris, and both parts of The Second Renaissance. I was rooting for the machines more than the humans in Renaissance - damn, nuking nonliving entities and blocking out the sun? Wonderful ideas, dudes. Why they didn't just accept the robot-peoples into the UN in the first place is beyond me - coulda saved them a whole hell of a lot of trouble. Friends, not enemieees! Shit, the poor metal-dudes even tried to move past the first incident of humans 'killing' them off, but... *sigh*
And I've gotta figure out how to prove the binomial theorem by Tuesday. And program an address book in Java. >_< Gah, it's going to be a busy weekend...
And lastly but not leastly, a quiz-thing stolen from Angelmoonlight! ^^
* What's your full name?: You wanna know, ask meh. ^^
* What do you prefer to be called?: If I had it my way, everyone would address me by Dragonfire, but Courteney's good too. ^^;
* How old are you?: 18
* When is your birthday?: April 23rd
* What's your sign?: Taurus
* What's your Chinese Zodiac sign?: Ox. I'm a bull and an ox at the same time - gotta speak volumes about something there. ^^; I should be a dragon, though. Temperment's closer suited.
* How tall are you?: 5'5... And a bit. ^^;
* How much do you weigh?: Haven't checked in a while, but it was 135 lbs the last time.
* What color is your hair?: Pretty much plain ol' brown - 'cept for two blonde streak-things framing my face.
* What color are your eyes?: Brown.
* What color is your skin?: I'm not the palest person in the world... Somewhat medium.

* Do you know your heritage (what is it)?: Irish, British, and French, for the most part.
* Hobbies: Reading, writing, video games, piano, and working with computers. Mostly.
Can you...
* Dance?: Does DDR count?
* Sing?: ...Depends on whether 'tis asking about singing well or not. XD I can sing. Offkey.

* Draw?: Depends on the subject. Non-human things better than human things, but even they're pretty bad. XD
* Run fast?: When I have reason to.
* Play chess?: Mmhm. Can play Go, too. Sorta.

* Requested a song on the radio?: Ne-var!
* Laughed?: This afternoon, during Iron Monkey. Or it might've been during Animatrix to some comment of Travis's.

* Do you prefer talking to them in person, on the net, or on the phone?: Either in person, or online. I have a fear of phones. ^^;
THE HOME STRETCH!!!
* What do you think of the person who sent this to you?: Ne, Kate? Didn't exactly send it, I stole it off of her, who stole it in the first place. XD She's... A gal after my own heart. Which is a good thing. I think.

* Are you glad it's over?: ...Eh, sure. Now I can write other shtuffs. ^^
