W00tness!

First day of high school went very smoothly. I was going to be a pessimist and expect my schedule to be completely screwed up, but no - I got the classes I signed up for...and a class that I didn't sign up for that I am just absolutely giddy about. I now have a 0 hour, meaning that I'm gonna be at school at 6:30 in the morning, but it's got a benefit of being a second choir class! I am one of two freshman in Diva's choir! So yeah. Breakfast with a song and a song before lunch! (I have lunch after fourth hour.) Downside, though, is that I'm gonna hafta run around like a chicken with its head cut off, but who cares.

[singing]I like to rise when the sun she rises, early in the morning...[/singing]

Hatred and Terror Bit the Dust

Now all that's left is Destruction.

Mom and I have been playing Diablo 2 multiplayer for some time now. The Maiden of Anguish went down quickly, as did the Prince of Pain. We completed Act III within a day, including beating the crap out of Mephisto, Lord of Hatred (we both died once), and did the same with Act IV after finishing off Diablo after what felt like eternity. We died so many times in that fight, it's not even funny. Didn't help that mom's mouse started to go dead on us in the middle of the fight, so I basically picked off what I could from him until mom got back. Problem? When we both went back into the fight, he had completely regenerated. Not cool, not cool at all. Thank goodness Mom was playing a Sorceress while I was an Assassin. I'd distract the Lord of Terror with Shadow (a summoned creature that looks exactly like my character) for a few seconds while Mom came up behind him and hit him with Static Field, a spell that knocks down quite a bit of his hit points. It was mainly distract-and-shoot, but we won in the end. Did I mention that we died so many times in that fight, it wasn't even funny?

Now our characters are in upper-twenties and heading up Mount Arreat after the final Prime Evil, Baal, Lord of Destruction. Hopefully, his AI in the final battle won't have changed and I'll be able to corner him then trap him with my Wake of Fire/Inferno traps. BWAHAHAHAHA. In the meanwhile, we have trapped Barbarians to rescue in the next session.

Washed the van today. We're heading to the cabin this weekend, but we're leaving Sunday. School starts Tuesday. Did I mention that I'm scared as heck about that?

It's Here!

Mom got her harp early yesterday afternoon. Helped her out with tuning (although it still tends to go out of tune a little, but that's unsurprising). I've spent a decent amount of time in the past two days simply finding and playing songs I've heard on that thing now. *sheepish chuckle* I'm glad I have ears, 'cause I'm already able to play a few songs from video games that I've heard on the harp a little. So for the past few days, I could easily be seen playing mom's harp a little. Most of the songs that I've found out are within 2 1/2 octaves.

Yeah. Quick blog post. The house is alive with the sound of music (and before you ask, yes, pun intended).
