She's pretty cool. She has a lamp that's the same as my hat lamp, without the stylish hat shade. Her favorite color is green like me and she has this cool friend named Andrew, who is really smart and interesting and nice who hangs out a lot. She likes using StumbleUpon for entertainment just like I do. She also likes the same kind of music as me. She's super courteous and asks before putting her stuff in the fridge and inviting her friends over, which I don't mind that stuff, but it's really considerate of her. All in all, I think she's a keeper.
The word of the day is banter. It means an exchange of light, playful, teasing remarks. The word sounds cool and I love to hear banter, especially when it's witty.
That's all for today. I'm going to go take a nap now.
Also, I got this Statcounter thing yesterday to get more information about what people view on my page and if they click my links and stuff, but I think it's broken, because it says that I only have 2 views, but the Google Stats thing says that I've had 19 views so far today.

What's new
I have a new roommate. She seems nice. My old roommate switched places with her because each of them had friends in the other's building that they visited all the time and it was about a 20 minute walk to go there. I will probably be getting a more accessible room sometime soon. I have a meeting set up.
The word of the day is penumbra. The definition of it that I like best is a shadowy or indefinite region. The word just sounds really cool in my opinion.
I would like to talk about my nerdy anti-social behaviors. I am pretty much on my computer all day long, except when I'm in class or reading a book. I have lots of things that I like to do on the computer. For one, I like to write a new blog post every day and read everyone else's new posts. I like to watch movies illegally. I like to download photoshop brushes and find fun photoshop tutorials. Yes, I am a design nerd. I also like to find cool pictures, because I really hate having the same desktop wallpaper for more than a week. I usually change it about every 4 days. I have recently discovered the match color tool in photoshop and have become quite enamored with making my photos look more surreal or stormy or vibrant. I also learned how to create vectors by tracing photos. This is still a slow process for me, so I haven't actually finished a vector yet. I am currently working on making a Converse shoes vector for a shirt I'm designing. There's another nerdy hobby. I love Threadless.com. I never buy anything but I like to design and critique and get critiqued and score submissions and try to enter contests but never finish on time. Okay, confession time, I like to play computer games. I like pretty much any type of computer games but my favorites are point and click. These are often escape the room games but sometimes there are other storylines. I'm not sure what I love so much about these games, but I could play them all day. I used to play Runescape. I forgot my password and never made a new account. I like to play pretty much any kind of computer game, so if you have one that you really like, feel free to share it with me.
In case you are not yet convinced of my nerdery, I will inform you that I can solve a Rubik's cube in under 3 minutes. I also have a Rubik's pyramid that takes a little longer to solve. I know how to say hello and/or goodbye in English, German, French, Italian, Japanese, Chinese, and Spanish. I am teaching myself Latin. I know basic HTML. I read novels for fun. I also do Sudoku and Kakuro and crosswords for fun, though not as often anymore. I enjoy doodling Mario and Pacman and Zelda. I also enjoy playing all of those. I really enjoy RPG games such as Golden Sun and Final Fantasy. I also like Halo, even though I'm really bad at it. I can play the Legend of Zelda main theme on my flute. I can the main Mario Bros. song on my flute, guitar, and keyboard. I used to collect Yugioh cards but my brother traded them all to a friend for some video game and I was really mad.
In conclusion, I am a nerd and proud of it, for the most part.

Happy December!
The word of the day is savvy. It's the only word in the English language with two v's in a row.
In case you didn't notice it's December. I went back to class today. I finished the first one this morning and I have one more this afternoon. The driver who brought me to class was really nice and helpful. The one who brought me back was annoyed with my poor steering skills. Some people are really judgmental. When I got to class, I wasn't sure where to sit so I wouldn't be blocking the aisle and I said that I had no idea where to sit. This one girl just said in a rude tone, "Just sit wherever you want" and then after I parked my chair at the front of the class which just happened to be across from the rude girl, she got up and moved. I was pretty offended. Just because I'm in a wheelchair, that doesn't mean I'm not human. It's not like it was my choice to be in a wheelchair. Surprisingly enough, I would much rather be able to walk. Hopefully the people in my next class are less judgmental and rude. I made this awesome student driver sign that I put on my wheelchair. Here's a picture:
