So. Torres is leaving.
All I did in class was surreptitiously check Twitter on my phone because every five seconds there were new updates. HE’S GOING! HE’S STAYING! WE’RE GETTING CARROLL! NEWCASTLE AREN’T SELLING HIM! WE’RE GETTING CHARLIE ADAM! NO WE AREN’T!
Oh, transfer window. You make me insane.
I will be so, so, so glad when this is all over and we can train with the new...

So.
I finished my speech for AP English, and it is a little over four pages long single-spaced…and I’m supposed to deliver it in 6 to 8 minutes. Don’t know how that will happen. My class will be bored out of their minds the entire time, too, because I’ll be standing up there jabbering on about the Geneva Conventions and FARRA and so forth.
Fernando Torres. I don’t even...
Saturday night
taking APUSH notes (chapter 26 is ridiculously long, jeez)
listening to the Avett Brothers and Dirty Projectors
eating pizza, pretty much cancelling out my gym time earlier today
probably about to start my AP English speech
party hard

My dad just asked me if we could get the English-language version of Al Jazeera by expanding our cable package (we don’t have any cable right now). Firstly, LOL, because what a random question. But it does make sense. Since 9/11, it has been lauded for its coverage of controversial events in the Arab world, and Salon.com commented recently that its “Egypt coverage embarrasses U.S....
too tired to post properly about Torres
but this whole affair is leaving a bad taste in my mouth. Feels like there is a lot of discontent on both sides here. It sucks that Suarez’s deal is being overshadowed, too, because this should be his day.
Also. I had an awesome night. Happy birthday Jared!

well shit.
The Suarez deal finally went through!
But reportedly Torres has asked to club to sell him, and Chelsea have put in a couple of bids.
Obviously the club should respect his desires and whatnot, and Chelsea have every right to bid for him, but this sucks. His form has been shit this season but he has shown signs of life under Kenny, and I feel that we are finally (maybe? possibly?) beginning to...
YES BIO TEST RESCHEDULED FOR TUESDAY
more time to study!
aka more time for me to watch Rahm Emanuel videos and eat blueberries
okay okay okay finally home
haven’t eaten in seven hours, which HAS to be some kind of record for me
I will study for bio
and eat
and sleep
also, I saw a girl (!) at school wearing a Barcelona jersey (!!!) and it was Pique’s (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) which is the one I have (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
She’s a freshman, so. Not sure we will be hanging out or anything. It was still cool.
...
At the lab until 7 tonight. Reading ahead for APES. Plating to Parliament-Funkadelic. Huge bio test tomorrow I need to study for, and I don’t have my notes with me.

One of my favorite short stories. I need to read Kafka on the Shore - I keep putting it off. Murakami is brilliant.

I swear, this team is going to make me die of heart failure before I reach 20.
ANYWAY. Seventh place is ours, despite a nail-biter against yet another mid-table club. A win is a win is a win, but it would be so nice if our wins were less…stressful. I’m sure that all LFC supporters would appreciate it if our collective blood pressure didn’t shoot up a few points with each match.

Why on EARTH is there no school today? We have maybe three inches of snow on the ground. Completely unexpected. I would so much rather be in school.
Oh god. The military officials’ faces at the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. Absolutely stony.
Okay, now we’re getting into the real partisanship stuff.
GOD RAND PAUL ON MY TV EW
Boehner looks perpetually in pain. It’s cracking me up. Like, “Why the hell do I have to listen to this crap?”
Oh boy. Immigration. Let’s see how this goes.
I SEE YOU SCHALKE WITH THAT EXTRA TIME WINNER
Damn it, Blackpool. Why do the Mancs always come back from deficits to draw or win?
Also, the State of the Union will hopefully be epic.
Blackpool 2-0 Man United
also, go you Schalke!
what the hell, that Van Bommel post got so many notes
I guess people just like that .gif
anyway, I am finally finished with homework so I am going to bed
I’m pretty sure I’ve eaten my weight in food today, so I need to work out tomorrow (and the next day and the next day and the next…who am I kidding, I always need to work out)
Schalke play tomorrow at 2:30, whee

kitakitaa replied to your post: Well, this sucks. I feel like something is wrong…
I love you Shea, you just need some sunshine and time to breathe And a hug!
Thank you kindly.
Well, this sucks.
I feel like something is wrong with me. Maybe it’s just January blues and too much homework and too little sleep, but I am so lethargic all the time. Zero energy and zero motivation to do anything—even read, or listen to music. I just want to sleep and eat and occasionally watch a football match. I’m so sick of writing papers and doing calculus and fighting...

The BBC believes most people will have read only 6 of the 100 books listed here. Bold those books you’ve read in their entirety, italicize the ones you started but didn’t finish or read an excerpt.
1 Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen
2 The Lord of the Rings - JRR Tolkien (I did Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers, and then I just couldn’t take it anymore.)
3 Jane Eyre - Charlotte...
so tired
We had our indoor qualifier today, and lost in the crossovers. I am pretty sure that I will never, ever go to NIT. Which isn’t the worst thing in the world, but I’ve been to at least 5 qualifiers and we have never qualified, which is just kind of depressing. I scored a few goals today, so that was nice, but in the end we lost.
Okay, APUSH chapter 26 vocabulary. The American Pageant...
my sister went to the library today
and came home with a Tim McGraw CD and two Nicholas Sparks books.
I was like
how are we even related
So far I have
watched Bremen tank against FC Koln
watched Barcelona defeat Racing Santander (I was 4 for 5 today! Not bad)
eaten an entire box of blueberries
not worked on my psychology paper
It’s shaping up to be a very productive day indeed.
what is happening
All of my clubs have won today so far. I can’t believe it.
Liverpool 3-0 Wolves (LIVERPOOL’S NUMBER 9 scores 2, the fashionable Raul Meireles)
Schalke 1-0 Hannover (Raul scores, Neuer carded, we beat the second-place team in the table, it’s all good)
Bayern Munich 5-1 Kaiserslautern (Robben, hat trick Mario Gomez, the always koality Thomas Muller)
If Barcelona and Bremen win,...
AW YEAH LIVERPOOL YEAH
A brace for Torres, improvement from Poulsen, Kelly did his thing, Kenny’s excitement at our goals, brilliant passing leading up to that third goal, clean sheet for Reina, travelling Kop wonderful as always, and Meireles MOTM with that gorgeous strike.
We’re not playing to our fullest potential, but it is lightyears better than our form of late.
Also, Gerrard’s suspension...
Liverpool play tomorrow at 7:45 am.

Just took 10 pages of APUS notes…my hand is about to fall off.
On the bright side, I listened to NPR’s stream of the Decemberists’ new album while I was doing it. It’s quite different from Hazards of Love, but I did like it, especially “Down by the Water,” “January Hymn,” and “Don’t Carry It All.” Everyone’s drawing...
NO ESCUELA
thank god because that calculus is impossible
3-day weekend for the second week in a row
puta madre, couldn’t they have told us this earlier? I wrote two essays tonight

Wonderful/depressing that nearly all of the messages to Alonso on Twitter are from LFC fans thanking him for his words of support from earlier today and encouraging him to come back to the Merseyside. It just goes to show how much he is truly missed here.
I know I yammer on about him all the time, but he really does seem to have an unusually strong affinity for us, even though he’s been...
I will be pissed if we have school tomorrow.
However. I finally buckled down and finished that essay, plus an AP free response essay. So now I just have to finish my calculus problems, and, if our superintendent decides to be lame and not cancel, I will be prepared.
Really, though, there’s probably 4 inches out there by now, with more coming tonight. This is wimpy by Northern standards, but my city doesn’t seem to know how to...

I am currently listening to techno, because that’s all we play at the lab.
Writing about Malcolm X (actually, I just finished) and listening to bad techno. What is my life.
Yes, it’s all Cascada/Daft Punk/Basshunter from here on. (Okay, those aren’t exactly techno, but I know next to nothing about the genre, so that’s what I’m going to call it.)
I need a miracle,...
I am trying so, so hard to concentrate on writing this English essay, but it just is not happening right now. It’s been snowing here since noon and we were released from school early, so I’ve been lying here on the couch reading and looking out the window occasionally. I’d say there’s a fairly good chance of no school tomorrow, but I have calculus to finish and this essay,...
