So many people have their birthdays in the summer.
Miriam's was some time last week, but we didn't do anything, since all she wanted was to have the house be completely quiet for a day. That was very difficult, but we managed to suceed. Tonio and Sonika have the same birthday, which is in a few days, and Gakupo's birthday is at the end of this month. Miku's and Lily's birthdays are both in August, and (if you count this as summer) Mizki's birthday is in the beginning of September. My birthday isn't for a while, but I wonder what'll happen between now and then.
I got my report card back this morning in the mail, and I got A-pluses in every subject except visual arts, drama, and gym. Hiyama-sensei said that my voice was too "monotonous" in my dramatic performance of Green Eggs and Ham, but I was playing the guy that isn't named "Sam", so it's perfectly fine, I think. And besides, my voicebank isn't the most expressive, even if I try to make it more so. Drama is an unfair subject for voice synthesizers, if you ask me. I think my art teacher didn't like the fact I that I drew a face on every object that we were supposed to sketch, but almost every girl in my class does that, and they all got A-pluses. Okay, so maybe it wasn't the best idea to put the "Me Gusta" face onto my painting of a sunset, but that face is hard to paint, thank-you-very-much. As for gym, I know I'm not athletic. It runs in the family. None of us Internet Co. vocaloids can ride a bicycle without training wheels.
Rin and Miki did badly on their history exams. Writing that the cause of World War II was that "Germany had to make cuckoo clocks for France" is not a good answer. Gumi showed both of them "Weeaboostories" in order to try to convince them that Hetalia should never, ever be the only resource you use to study history. They claimed that they used other resources, and they actually did, if Scandinavia and the World counts. I have no idea why they didn't just read their textbooks.
I also went to the zoo today, with Yuki, Iroha, Leon, Hiyama-sensei, and the rest of Leon's hipster friends. Gumi wanted to come, so she could study the behavioural patterns of various animals, but she was busy trying to build sugar-powered mecha-suit. Anyways, Leon was dressed as a hippogriff (complete with "hipster glasses"), as were his friends. All the non-hipsters (like me) tried to distance themselves from the hipsters to avoid embarrassment, which wasn't too hard, since they were only looking at animals the "non-mainstream" animals, like the cassowary, the tapir, and the okapi.
Most of the animals were nice and all, but they just don't seem as cute as the do on those nature documentaries. One of the cows somehow managed to eat Yuki's all-beef hot dog, and it seemed to quite enjoy it. We were all greatly disturbed. On the bright side, I think the snakes were fond of me. They all came up to the glass when they saw me. Iroha thinks I must be like Harry potter or something. Unfortunately for Iroha, all the felines, whether they were lions, zebras, or ocelots, seemed to be very afraid of her.
To end on an "OMG new housemates" note, we heard the demos for the Spanish-speaking and Mandarin-speaking vocaloids. We don't even have any idea what their names are, yet, but we can tell that the Spanish one is male, and the Chinese one is female. Mizki didn't really care about that, since all she's worrying about is that "CUL" is becoming an official vocaloid. "CUL" basically Mizki wearing red and black striped thigh-high socks, so all of us are mystified as to why she needs to be a separate entity. As long as the new vocaloids will are nice, I don't really care who they look like. Unless they look like Ronald McDonald, which would be scary.
