Still Waiting...

As the title implies, no I have not gotten an answer. My friend has talked to him about it, and he says the reason he hasn't answered is because he's busy. (Trust me, knowing him, this is a completely legit reason). I'll probably talk to him about it tomorrow and get an official answer so I can at least know whether he can come or not.

Well, I dealt with some crap today. It's not significant enough to put in this post (by the end of tomorrow I won't care at all), but, for the first time in probably about three months, I fully cried for a reason other than because of an anime. It was sad, but it was also kind of encouraging, knowing that I still have emotions other than happy-go-lucky.

My dad has gone away for work for a week, and since my only sibling is married and off in college, it means my mother and I have the house to ourselves. This usually means that we treat ourselves to various fast food/restaurants for dinner (i.e. one night Subway, one night Wendy's, and one night some other resturaunt). Normally this doesn't bother me, but OI this week has made me feel fat. It doesn't help that my best friend has taken up running a mile every day, while I sit here on my lazy butt. =.= I usually don't struggle with weight-related self image, but uggghhh this week and a half has been an exception.

Grades have also been a thing. My grades have been lower than normal so far this term, and I've decided to go on a short quest to bring them up. I hope it's a success; the better my grades, the more likely I can go to my college of choice.

Part of which is extra credit - in US History, we can watch a WWII movie we haven't seen before for extra credit. I asked about Grave of the Fireflies, and my teacher said that should be okay. So I get to finally watch one of the three Studio Ghibli films I've heard of but haven't seen (the other two being The Wind Rises and Porco Rosso.

Speaking of grades, back to testing - I don't know how well I did on the math test, and my teacher hasn't gotten them back up on our grade yet... *shrug*. I hope I did decent.

As for the ACT, I thought I did pretty well and the English and Reading sections (those are always my strong suits), the math section was... decent, but boy did the science section throw me off. I doubt I did as well as I was hoping for; now I'm crossing my fingers for a 28 or higher. Even if I didn't do so well, I registered for a second ACT and I'm more prepared and knowing what to expect.

So I have to ask an opinion of you guys. After making my latest wallpaper, I realized something - I felt like a one-trick pony. By that I mean all my wallpapers feel very similar. For example, here are a few of my most recent wallpapers:

They're all similar in that they all are a little grunge-ish, they all have a dark color scheme, and they all have one focus image. Do you think I'm a one-trick pony and that I need to add variety, or that I'm just establishing my style?
