Wow I havent posted since last otakon XD; Oops

This past otakon was totally awesome again! I stayed with Din and Adam this year. Not much to say other then it was super fun (:

Friday I was Mio from K-On! I had paper flowers (:
Saturday I was Cardcaptor Sakura with the star wand (I belive I was the only star wand Sakura? I saw two others with the bird-like wand though)
Sunday I was dressed again in my green lolita dress (: I love that dress.

OTAKON

2008-08-16T23:04:34Z

Otakon was a blast! My plans for being Belle didnt work out, so last minute I joined Adam and Ryan as part of the Bawls Knights/Warriors. I was a sorceress XD People took so many pictures!

Adam and I also went to the Gaia Panel that day. It was the first time I even went to any panel. We hung out a bit with our friends Shiny and Din too (:

The second day I was a sweet lolita, sadly I have no pictures of me dressed up right now ): I really want one. We went to the Gaia Meet-Up and then to the Dealers room because Shiny told me that PETER S. BEAGLE was there SIGNING BOOKS!!!!! After hunting around forever (and running into Red and talking for a bit) I was about to give up and we found HIM!! I didnt have my copy with me at the time, but I bought the DVD for mom and he signed it for mom! and I ordered the hardback version of the book with the sequal in it, and its going to be signed to me, AND I bought a print of the concept art of Lady Amalthea and he signed that for me too!!! Adam said I was blushing so much after talking with him XD OH And Adam and I had a frosting war! I totally won, he was covered in frosting and I only had a little bit on me. Ryan thought it was hilarious, I think he took a video of us XD; I had had way too much ice tea, and they had had too many Bawls. XD

We went to the Dance that night too, which was fun (: I danced with a random girl cause she said I looked shy ^^ Adam showed off his huge glow sticks to Din XD

Sunday, I dragged Adam to the viewing of The Last Unicorn and got my original book signed too. Keee ^^; We went to the artist alley and met up with Shiny, and went to the dealers room to help her find a Lolita dress of her own. I also got a cupcake hair clip and the English version of the Lolita Bible, second volume. ^^ I got to hang out more with Red before leaving as well.

I wish Otakon hadnt ended though! It was so much fun and now things are same-ol again. I'm also sick, which sucks. I havent been this sick in a long time >>; I wish I'd get better, I have things I need to get done. I want to work on Adam's birthday present, need to do art for my Gaia shop, do art for my actual shop (I'm going to see about making prints), need to do sewing...and lots more XD

2008-07-16T22:24:28Z

Totally made cookies today~ And they were awesome. Everyone likes them ^^

I opened an art shop on Gaia, and its popular~ So much art~ Its been exciting ^^

I'm working on my story again <3 I'm so happy and excited working on it again, I just love talking about it.

OMG Project RUNWAY TONIGHT! KEEEEEE! Cant wait! XD

I have to clean my room tomorrow, blah! But its alright, I dont want it to be so messy when Adam comes over. XD its rather hard to walk around right now. I pulled so many books out for my story, I think I'll just be more like tidying up then cleaning.

There was a bird living in my shop. She built a nest ^^ I named her Faerie~. We found out if we put the nest in an easter basket and hung it in a tree, she'd be ok. So I think my dad did that for me. I hope shes happy (: It makes me happy knowing she liked my shop and all ^^ Like faeries are already helping me out. ^^

*sigh* I'm glad things are good~ It makes me happy with life. I've missed this upbeatness that life can be (:

weeee~

2008-07-09T02:20:32Z

Ieeeee I cant wait for next week!~

I poked around some recipe sites and found an awesome yummy one for chocolate cookies using chocolate pudding mix! I so wanna make them. I'm planning on doing so sometime next week.

Adam's coming by next week for the club and museums too~ keeee! Excited!! We're gonna watch Muppet Treasure Island too, he hasnt seen it! o.o; how can you not have seen it?

This weekend Dad, Kels, and I are going to go to the science center for Bubble Day! XD theres a bubble artist! This will be interesting and fun~

I drew a picture for Adam of "Raver Jesus" XD He asked me to. He's going to put them on shirts and try to sell them~ He's going to put my shops site url on the back of them too~ and I get part of the profit o.o I dunno how we're going to be working that out though~ It was tons of fun to draw~

Anywho, I should run off, I'm suppost to be cleaning. Blah. We're going to the store tomorrow though, to walmart and michels. I need some paints and such for a project I want to do.

Oh, and for the record. When I say "Yeah I can change the light bulbs in my bathroom" DONT LET ME. That was a freaking painnnnn! >

4th of July

2008-07-05T16:15:10Z

Went over to Jennie's around noon and helped her and her mom get ready for the cookout~ Her family is very interesting and fun (: I liked meeting her aunts and uncles.

We all played a game called "What's yours like?" which was fun. I'm not too good at it though. And we played a card game called "Oh Hell" which I really wasnt good at. I think by the end of it I was still in the negatives with my score XD

We ended up not going to see fireworks because it rained alot. Gee, it rained last year too XD Pattern? So after much discussion and decision making we sat down and watched a movie "Yours,Mine, and Ours" the new version. It was alright. Then we found we could play different versions of the dvd Scene it game on the Comcast On Demand thingy, so we did. We played two versions of Disney, Jr, Movie, and Harry Potter scene its. That was fun. I'm the best at Disney XD But then again we have the game at home.

After a while it was around midnight so Jennie brought me home. I chatted a bit, made some plans for later in the month and headed off to bed. It was a good day (:

~~~

Later on the 18th, Adam and I are going to the club/concert thing XD I checked with dad and nothing happening that weekend. So its all good. He's going to come up the following weekend too for the carnival fireworks.

I got Meredith to agree to go to the carnival with me too. I cant wait to spend time with her! I've missed her lots.

I'm giving up on the Otakon people and I'm just going to make a new account and register that way. I need to do that today. Add that to my list.

Plans for today are cleaning my room, sewing, and possibly driving if its not wet or rainy.

July o' July~

2008-06-30T18:52:54Z

We saw WallE for Kelsey's birthday yesterday and it was awesome. Go! See it now! XD

Jennie's birthday is friday! Fireworks! woo! She's already got her gift, I let her pick out some art (:

Not too much else is going on for July. Adam and I are making plans to go to a club and museums in DC. I'm pretty sure I can go, I need to doubley check with Dad.

Trying to make plans to go to the Science center too, theres a bubble day!!! XD

I've been sewing alot, and writing alot lately! As well as drawing. It feels so nice being so creative. ^^ I've been working on my story again! I started it over again, but at least nothings change, just the style of writing.

I still need to work on the costumes though, I need the girls here so I can size the outfits and get some extra hands.

Hopefully going to go driving this afternoon~ Cant wait~

Does anyone know any artists that make "interactive art"? I've some ideas in my head, but I'd like to see what others have done, but googling "interactive art" has kind of failed me :\ Maybe I'm using the wrong term? But I'm unsure what else you would call it. It'd be awesome to find a museum of "interactive art" XD That would be wild.

garnetfaerie @ 2008-06-27T22:52:00

2008-06-28T03:10:57Z

Blah at today, totally blah at it.

Seems I DO have loans I owe to the school (gee I kept telling Dad is do...)

I had planned to spend the day sewing my little heart away~ but I spent a good portion of it on the phone with dad then on the phone calling all the loan people to find out how much I owe because they wouldnt just tell dad >>; Blah

So yeah, I owe money, a good bit too (figures) Lucky I have until December before they start pileing interest on it.

I think I might end up draining my bank account and putting all of it towards the loan, it wont even cover half but at least it'll be less then what it is now when they start adding interest.

I think this might mean England is out of the question for me, we'll have to see I guess. I was actually talking myself around too, figures.

So I did sew a little, I made a gift for someone. And I taught Trinity to sew by hand. She made a little pillow. She's so proud. She wanted me to make her a blanket too, I just happened to have my unfinished Disney quilt around still. So I think I'll finish that up for her. I worked a good bit on my Ren Fest dress too. No wonder its taking me so long, I've mixed patterns XD I wish I had writen myself a note that I was doing that before. Way to go me! Its almost finished though now, I gotta finish the sleeves, do alot of hemming, and add some zippers~ Its looking beautiful. I even added little bells on it so its like a faerie princess dress now (:

Driving is going good (: I cant wait to go out driving again.

The Otakon people are evil! I swear, I have called 3 times, I left a message the last time with ALL my information, early this morning. No word or responce or anything. Grr. I just want to get registered! Bleh.

I did buy my lolita shoes today. Hope they come soon so I can break them in. Otakon and shoes are going to be my last things I buy for a while, foo. Well, aside from things I buy at Otakon, I think I'll allow myself to do that at least. With my graduation money.

Depending how things go, I was planning to buy some dye and dye my hair after Otakon, I dunno...maybe I still will be able to? Dye doesnt cost that much. Purple streaks~ Woooo <3 My hair will look like PB&J and I think thats rather fun ^^;

Home sweet home!

2008-06-17T04:15:13Z

So I have finally returned from the ocean blue~

Andddd....yeah >> So much for me enjoying myself. Oh well

The first day was okay. It was fun exploring the ship and looking at the ocean.

Day Two- we spend a few hours in Key West, I got sunburn on my shoulders >< Water was poured on us during lunch, I got more burnt at the pool...yeah...I did get an awesome book though on signs and symbols. Its got alot in it~ We went to a show that evening which was fun. And Cora and I went to the club which...kinda sucked :\ Icky music and drunk smoking peoples is no fun at all.

Day Three- We spent 5 hours or so on Cozumel. We spent it on the beach. I hate sand and I dont really care for ocean...so I just spent the time hiding under the umbrella. One of the busboys talked to Cora, Kelsey and I though. We told him we were sisters (it was just easier) and he guessed who was oldest (he thought the order was Kelsey, Cora, Me) and asked us about our boyfriends XD I wasnt impressed by the teal water or clear ocean. Afterwards we played in the arcade a little and I wandered the ship for a while. The amazing part of the day was seeing an 8 min animation by Disney and Salvidor Dali! I want it bad, it was so amazing.

Day Four- Day spent on the ship, I was bored out of my mind. I sat and drew all day. The only thing I liked was one of the passangers, He was about Kels' age just sat down at a piano and started playing for like an hour or more. I just sat and watched and listened. It was so beautiful, and you could easily tell he loved playing. We saw another show that night then packed up for home

Day Five- TODAY- insanity. Originally our flight was suppost to leave at 5 to New York then from 10pm to Dulles. Only we get to the airport at 12 and find out our flight was cancelled but theres a direct flight to Dulles leaving soon, so we take it get on and fly to Dulles only we cant land because of the storms so we backtrack to Richmond to refuel only everyone else did too and it was packed so we backtracked to Charlotte and landed there to refuel then flew back to Dulles. Only to get lost in VA. All I wanted was so get home ;_; oh well I'm home now~

I probably sounds complainy, it really was a good trip and all. I just couldnt get fully into it for a couple of reasons. And I just kept looking at it thinking I could have done all this at home. :\ hardly anything stood out to m ake it worthwile to me.

Excited

2008-06-12T06:09:33Z

Weeeeeeee!

XD

In like an hour and half we'll be "waking up" to leave for the air port. I cant sleep, too excited and nervous! I hope they dont get upset over my carry on >> I had to put some of my art supplies in it (watercolors and pastels) I hope its okay.

Its going to be fun...I really really think so. I defiantly need to get away. No one iming me about...things for 4 or 5 days. Just Kels, Cora, and I in a room on a ship in pretty blue water. Mom and Jim have their own room else where~

I need to go to the garage before we leave. I need to find one of my stuffed animals I want to take with me and the ipod charger. I hope I can find them before we leave.

I'm not too crazy about being on a plane >> I dont like not having something solid under me and I dont trust planes in general. But everyone's telling me I'll be okay. I know I will be, its just kinda bleh.

I hope I dont get sea sick, that will suck. I shouldnt get sick. I only get car sick when I'm in the backseat and theres no air around me or I cant see out the front.

XD I got two new bathing suits for the trip~ Mom made me get them. Their both those triangle bikini tops (because they didnt have the tankini tops in my size ;_; ) One is camo with pink accents and the other is white with pink and orange trim and an orange and yellow flower on one triangle. I got black skirt bottoms for both though~ That made me happy. I'm gonna try to not be so self concious about it.

I keep getting told that I shouldnt care how anyone on the ship sees or thinks of me because I very most likely will never see them again so I should just have fun be silly and not care. Its hard to think like that myself, but I'm going to try. I want to be more then I am, and this is a perfect time for a test run of being more then just hiding in my world, in my shell. I keep thinking this shell is gone, but it keeps coming back...

Anywho~ I need to finish packing my carry on~ I'll be back Monday, probably way late Monday. When I get the chance I shall post and let everyone know I'm back okay (:

Weekend~

2008-06-09T08:48:27Z

Ieeee Look I'm keeping up with it Kihi! XD

This weekend was awesomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee~
Adam and Tory came by Saturday and we got some ice cream. Tory wasnt feeling well though ): So we took her home and then headed to Starscape.

A huge storm hit on our way. It was freaky, there was times there would be a flash of red right before you'd see the streak of lighting in the sky. Looking back now I think it was neat, at the time I was all "OMG STORM! ><"

By the time we got to Starscape though, the storm had mostly past. When it was really really gone, they started the music again and I got to see Adam's nunchuku glowsticks XD It was awesome. He let me use his normal sized battery glowsticks too, which was fun because they were more glowy then normal ones and I could turn them on and off (duh). I spent more time watching Adam or watching people watch Adam though. It was fun watching people be amazed too. I did dance a bunch though! I watched alot of people dancing and no one really used glowsticks like either of us. Theres no question why people didnt use them like Adam, he had to make his nunchukus after all, but I was just belly dancing-ish with them and anyone could really do that.

It was neat that the dance was by the bay. We sat by the water alot too. Mostly when I was tired and didnt want to stand anymore. The water was pretty. So was the bridge. I've never been on the water side by the bridge before. It looks really neat when its dark and you've just got city lights around you.

We planned on heading home around 3am, so thats when we got back to the car. But other cars had parked around us so we couldnt get out >< We had to wait until 6am when the dance was really over for everyone to come out and eventually move. I kind of curled up in the car and slept while we waited. Adam talked to people, danced, and occationally checked on me while we waited. I only know that cause I'd wake up a little and peek out the door to see what was up every once in a while XD

The only thing I really didnt like was the crowd. I always feel like I'm going to get lost or left behind. We stayed away from the crowd for the most part though, which was good. It was strange though having people talk to me, I'm not use to it. Not very many did thankfully. Most of the time they would come over when Adam was dancing and I was off to the side by myself. It was okay though, he'd come over when he'd notice to check what was going on. It made me feel better.

Today was fun too! When we had made it back to the house I went to my room and Adam went to the guest room for sleep. We needed it XD I think we woke up around noon! He helped me fix my photoshop and get it working again (yay) then Kelsey wanted us to do her laptop too ^^; so we did. We took a short trip over to Dad's too, my building was put in place today. It looks so awesome! Its pretty and its big inside~ I cant wait to get working in it and on it (well as best as I can). When we got back to Mom's Jennie stopped by (: She had my graduation present (STARDUST DVD!!! <3 Awesome!) and she picked up some of the art she picked out for her birthday present (: I let Adam take a piece too~ I'd rather it go to friends then strangers so I'm happy. Adam had to leave around 7 or so, Jennie stayed a bit longer to help me put some of the pieces back into their frames (one of them was hers) and I showed her some of my charcoal pieces from Life Drawing.

Tomorrow is going to be pretty slow (well I guess really its today now, my sleeping pattern is messed up from my late night XD) We're going back to Micheal's to take back my new pack of markers. oO; The black that came in the set doesnt have the thin tip end its suppost to have. Its completely gone. Anddd, oh! We're packing our clothes for the cruise tomorrow me thinks. I need to finish going through all the music Adam gave me last week too, to put on my ipod what I really like for the trip. So many songsssssssss @.@ I didnt know my computer could hold so much!

Wow, I wrote alot XD It was an exciting weekend~ I should probably sleep....but I might draw some more. I'm so artsy lately.

HEY LOOK GARNETS ON LJ!

Catch Up

2007-08-03T20:53:20Z

Time to play catch up again (:

Otakon was very fun. I spent like all my money ^^; My bigged buy was a beautiful mint green lolia dress with white lace. So cute!! I wore it the last day of the convention. I also got a Shinku and Hinaichigo keychains, 1 Rozen Maiden DVD,and a little top hat with a white rose and pearly wings and pink lace on a head band. Next year we're gonna try very hard to get a table in the Artist Alley so we can sell all sorts of stuff (I have a huge list of things that I plan to make. Now if I actually make half the list that will be amazing. )

My Dad, Kelsey, and I went on a train ride last week. It was fun because they gave out fake jewelry and then later on some guys dressed in old west style clothing came and robbed us of it. Then there was a big gun fight outside the train and the jewelry was returned to the lady who handed it out. They gave all of us the blanks that where from the fight.

My Mom, Uncle Larry, Kelsey, Aunt Brenda, and I went to the Maryland Science Center on Tuesday. It was really fun. We saw a 3d imax about dinosuars but 3d things make me kinda sick, well they give me a head ache. So I was kinda just wanting it over, but it was still neat.

Yesterday I went to Adventure Park USA with Uncle Larry, Mom, Kelsey, and Cora. That was cool, but it was so hot that I didnt really wanna do anything outside. Cora, Kelsey, and I spend most of the time ddring. Which was very fun. (:

Drama from the 5th Dimention!

2007-06-30T18:02:58Z

Wooo Drama. Drama is so interesting to follow. Watching it all unfold. Its like a never ending movie really.

Recently the RO Server I was playing on got the hugest dose of drama I've seen in a while.

I guess I should set up the characters of this story...
We have:
Jake-- In the beginning was a GM for Forum Quests and was given Events to do as well. He's got a short fuse on his temper and has a tendency to throw a tantrum on occations. He's still a good guy though.

Katii- Jake's girlfriend. Also a GM. She was more of a public relations GM though, who also did events. She's nice and likes being friends with people. She donated a great deal to keep the server running

Danny- A scriper on the GM team. Theres not much I can really say about him that I can think of at the moment. He tried alot at the scripts and made some neat monsters ( he made an MVP of Azazel! XD)

Mizu- okay, for those of you who played on RO servers with me before. This is NOT our Mizu/Lemmie...this is some weird girl who also calls herself Mizu. She is the "head GM" though really shes just a figure head. She doesnt know how to do anything relating to scripts or codes and in one attempt before she has caused homculi feedings to take longer when she ment for them to be shorter. She's a bit overprotective of the server and doesnt like things to be "out of control" meaning her own.

Then of course theres me and Jeromy. Jeromy was the coder and scripter who did a great deal of the work though didnt want to be apart of the GM (though he has a GM account)

Other characters-- Ed, Ghost, Leah, LoA Guild...

The story begins...

A few weeks ago, Jake asked Mizu to add Ed to the GM team. Jake and Ed figured they would split doing Forum Quests together so that there would be someone around most of the time to finish quests. So Mizu adds Ed to the GM team but completely missed the whole point and made Ed incharge of Forum Quests and made Jake only do Events. Jake throws a fit.

About a Week later the first of the "drama attacks" happened. Ed apparently had been plotting with his guild and @itemed tons of God items in town which he then began giving away and dropping...in the middle of an on going WOE (War of Emperium). This caused great mayhem, WOE had to be stopped, castles lost, and items taken away.

Anyone who had God items was given the chance to turn in the items. Those who didnt had their accounts deleted. (as a side note Ghosts accounts were deleted during this time because prior to all this, before I even joined, he had been banned and Mizu had done a poll in a gm meeting to let him back. She misred the poll, all GM's voted no, and let him back in. When the GMs realized this they deleted his account and he wasnt happy).

Ed and his guild that did not turn in the items were banned from the server. The GM's began working to get the server back up and raise players spirtes. There were alot of events going on at that time. Everything was going well. There was a lack of players but the number was slowly but steadly raising over the next week.

Then Mizu had a GM meeting in which she stated that she wanted to close the server or hand it off to Jeromy. Jeromy didnt want to take it because he didnt want to have to worry and deal with the money for the server. Everyone suggested Katii take the server since she did dontate a great deal but Mizu refused. Jeromy tried to explain that he would run the server for her if she would just deal with the donations and the money. But she didnt seem to get that.

Two nights later, while Jeromy and Katii were asleep Mizu im'ed Jake and told him that she was firing him, Katii, and Danny. Jake was mad (understandably) and deleted all the forum quests he did off the forums. He then told Jeromy what happened who passed the information to Danny. Danny got mad and logged into the server intending to only delete what he had added to the server and ended up deleteing all of it (Which Jeromy figured would happen and had already made backups of everything before Danny did so). Katii im'ed Mizu when she woke asking for an explination and Mizu insulted Katii in serveral ways (I wont repeat but they werent very nice). Mizu then im'ed Jeromy and before Jeromy could do much she blammed Jeromy for Danny deleteing the server and that he was in on it and laughing at her behind her back. Jeromy got mad (amazingly and understandably) and refused to give her the backups he made and left the Team.

Mizu, with only Leah left, "rebuilt" the server from "scrath" (meaning she copied and pasted codes from other locations) She hired Ed back as a GM along with most of his guild. (Why? I have no clue) and has let Ghost in control of the download files of the game (where he placed a keylogger or something that copys all the passwords and usernames and sends them back to him. He proved this by logging into Leah's deviant art account and msn messager.)

When Leah relized that Ghost has done something to the download she posted a message in the GM forum asking Mizu why Ghost is still around? And if Mizu is really so stupid as to let him continue? Mizu showed up once since then and has not been seen again probably to play WOW, which she had been talking about recently.

I'd like to say WOW to the over crazy drama going on and that...sadly...its actually rather entertaining to watch. I keep bugging Jeromy for us to start AO again "to show Mizu how running a good server is done" but we're not.

Instead we've found a new game called Tales of Pirates! Its really good and fun and everyone should try it! (If you do, we're on the Penguin Isle server (: )

Hope I entertained you all with this huge post of RO Drama...(:

Catch up time...

Kels graduated from highschool last week

I totally forgot my password till now! Yay me. I lost it when I got my wal-mart comp. oops. lots of catching up to do. fun fun.

Lately

2006-07-30T21:26:29Z

Otakon is in like 5 days or so. I had my dress almost finished. But I've been kinda down about it. I really wanted to make it like the best copy of the character as I could possibly do. But I've just run outta time. I still havent make her necklace, gloves, shoes, ring, earrings and microphone yet. And theres no way I can do it before Otakon. So I dont think I'm gonna cosplay this year after all. Part of me doesnt even wanna go. I dont know why. I really want to go to the dealers place and the art place. We're only going two outta the three days again cuz we cant get a ride on friday. I feel like I'm causing all sorts of problems because of it too. It's probably gonna be just me kels and cora and any of their friends with us. I wish I could get out of this mopey-ness but I cant seem to be able to. At least for long periods of time. Jeromy helped alot. Took him a while but he got me laughing and smiling like my normal self. I know the mopey-ness is just a temp thing. We think it might be due to the fact I got 8 hours of sleep last night...instead of my normal 10 hours hehe. I sleep too much^^; But sleep is nice

Anywho, in other news...Jeromy and I have been playing on a new ro server. Its rather cool, minus the insane GM hosted quests for items that arnt fully added in game yet. Insane amounts of items that have insane low drop rates. But at least it gives you more of a goal in the game. We're not just lvling to lvl anymore. And most of the original PT is there. Minus Nat, she doesnt like the new girl in the guild. And Lemmie...he kinda got kicked out cuz of our "new" guild leader. I hope Lemmie decides to stay tho. Its no fun without Lemmie and Zel and Jeromy. Rather wish Link and Nat was there too, then we could party like old times and have a ball. (Kihi and D if you wanna join us, lemme know ^~ )

Schools in like a month. Kayce's gotten a new boyfriend...actually shes engadged. Kinda scary to think about. But she promises me that he wont cause trouble in our room and whatnot, she knows the only think that comes to my mind is all the stuff that happened with Karie. That was rather bad for me, almost tramatizing to be treated so badly in my own room by someone I considered a good friend. Yeah...not good for me.

My comp should be dead by now. I'm amazed it still runs. I have no idea why its been acting so badly. And of course, my mom and stepdad hate me in their own little way they wont get me a new one (even tho 2 or 3 weeks before I asked for a new one they offered to get me a new one...but I told them I was trying to see if I could fix this one...which I cant really...its beyond hope)

Oh, and I got stung by a bee last night. It hurt...but in a weird way. Least I didnt cry for a change. I wanted to, but I didnt. It reminded me alot of when I sewd though my finger in 12th grade. I didnt really feel any pain but like tingleing pin pricking kinda feel, but I knew it hurt alot more then it felt.

You know you never realize how in the middle of things you are until they really affect your life. I never paid much attention to the going-ons around me when I was little. Now that I'm older though I notice it alot. College is suppost to be a good time, at least thats how I see it. I see college as that bridge between child and adult. You've got enough to figure out in college between trying to understand all that your learning and figureing out who you are and learning how to live with someone you've just met to deal with everything else in life. It has always been my believe that Learning is a job and that it should take priority over anything else (other then family) in a students life. Because of that I never had a job. Nor did I ever get my licence (beside I dont really like driving, it scares me)...so here I am, with no transportation or job trying to come up with a solution to my ever on going problem that my mom and stepdad brought upon me, how to pay for college. Incase you've seemed to miss this MAJOR piece of my life, my Mom and Stepdad told me they would pay for all my college funds and not to worry about scholorships, which I was glad about because I had enough going on at the time with applications and graduation that it was one less thing for my poor mind to worry about. And I worry, a lot. So it was nice to not have to worry about something. HA, yeah right. They sprung it upon my dad and I to have to pay half each year. We've been scrounging ever since. Most scholorships are unavailible to me because I'm over the age of 18...so that leaves grants and loans. So Dad and I try our hardest to get grants. Far as I know we havent gotten any. We filled out the FASFA, havent gotten any information back yet. So now we've about 2 months before school starts again. I've no licence thus no job, and we've no grants or scholorships. Jeromy helped by finding some loans...but my dad doesnt want to get a loan til "we really know if we need it".......Which is probably going to be too late. Then what? I'll have to leave school? He doesnt want to have to pay anything back if he doesnt have to...understandable, but at this point it doesnt look like we have much of an option. I'd rather not have to pay back either. But at this point, half way though college, I'm tired of worrying about money, I'm tired of saving every penny I find on the ground, and I'm tired of crying so much about wheither I'll see my friends in the coming year or not. At this point I want to get a loan just so I can get some peace of mind....and he doesnt want to do it cuz we'd have to pay them back...

Anyone have spare change?

Been a long time.

I'm out of college for the summer now, no more roommate from hell. Ah yes, the major story of the year, my roommate became an evil pawn of her new and rather annoying boyfriend and made my life hell for the past 3 months. Joyful I am for not having to deal with them any longer. I'm sad about it because my roommate and I were friends but she gave up on our friendship, I was still open to being friends until they ignored me when I was crying my head off in a corner (if you know me really well, you'd know the last thing I ever want to do is cry infront of people so it had to be something major for me to cry infront of them) so yeah...but thats all over with!

Being home hasnt been the greatest. I dont wanna sound like a snob or stuck up but my mom is demanding I get a summer job, and if I dont then I am to work around the house for free. I dont mind working around the house but she comes up with the most crazyest things to do and works me so much that when I'm done all I want to do is go to bed. I had plans to work on my art all summer and work and hopefully finish a novel that I might actually publish. But I cant do that when I'm too tired to do anything in my free time. Bleh

Well...thats all I can really think of at the moment.

My school's so grah!!! I turned in my drop form for dropping spanish on the 7th. I got an email on wednesday saying that I hadnt dropped spanish and if I wanted to there was still time to withdraw. I emailed the lady back and told her I filled out the drop from and she emailed me back this morning saying they cant find the form and that it would have been concidered a withdraw since it was after the 3rd. Which I thought is weird because I always had it in my head language classes have an extended drop time because it takes longer to figure out if you can take a language. So NOW I have to fill out anohter form and get my advisor to sign it (which is insane cuz he's so hard to find outside of class) and turn it in and hope it gets all worked out this time. Oiiiiiiiii I hate this school sometimes. Sometimes I wonder how it would be if I had gone to MICA instead. I wouldnt have the friends I have now...but I'd be with alot of the people from my high school. I wouldnt be learning all sorts of things....I'd be spending all my time on art. But I like learning all sorts of things and I do like it here...I just hate how they handle stuff sometimes.

Bleh. I dont care much for my 3d design teacher Kate either. Shes cool but she talks too much and she doesnt make any sense. Like wedensday she was getting on me because I started my next project without testing textures first. I told her I tested textures for the idea I had but then when I got to her class I came up with a idea I liked better and since I didnt have any materials to test textures nor would I have any materials to test textures until after this weekend. She just kept saying I needed to test textures and that thats how alot of artists do things. Yeah alot of artist test materials out before making a final project with it. But theres alot that just start and if a problem occurs they problem solve a way to make it work. They use their problems and make them work for them. I'm that type of artist, yeah I draw and plan stuff out and think about how things should work and how to get them to work. But if a problem happens while I'm making my art, I use the problem to my advantage. Or at least try to. I may have to alter my original design to get it to work. But it'll work. >> Bleh

I started writting a story recently too. Well at first it was just gonna be a short 10 page comic about an angel falling in love. But then I started writting the scrip and some basic descriptions and I've ended up writting 4 pages of story and I havent even each the middle of it yet. But I like it. Its an if-y story with me. Since its about Azazel (who magically ened up looking and acting like Jeromy...I really didnt mean for that to happen he just kinda became like Jeromy which is funny to me since Jeromy goes by Azazel alot^^; ) and a human girl named Kaia (who magically became like me and I didnt mean for that to happen either! So its a fictional story about Jeromy and I kinda^^; ) Azazel's forced to live with humans until he can learn to "bow to them" it'll be interesting. (: When I get more of it written out I think I'm gonna write it in this journal I got over the summer. Its pretty, it has a bunch of different papers inside and the cover has flowers and glitter and it smells kinda like a strawberry short cake doll (the old ones anyways, no idea how the new ones smell if they even do)

Also FINALLY started working on my site. I redesigned it and with lots of bugging Jeromy figured out how to make frames work again and tables again. I've forgotten so much of html ^^; But it looks cool. I cant wait to get it finished. Its got Garnet on it with a weird looking glaive kind of staff. Its all blue and purple and black (: Its the best drawing of Garnet I think I've ever done. So it makes me really happy^^

Oh! I finally read The Hero and the Crown by Robin McKinley last week or the week before I think it was. I've been wanting to read it since 8th grade. I LOVED IT! It took a bit of getting use to since the story jumps around but I loved it and I wanna get The Blue Sword now. It takes place after Hero and the Crown. (:

Ack! I need to get going to 3d design!!! Byes~

Lots has happened the past couple weeks. The beginning of this semesters been bumpy but I think its finally smoothed out.

Jeromy and I were a bit edgey and then he had to leave for a trip this week. I've been missing him like crazy even tho I do get to talk to him a little when he does have the chance to sign on AIM.

I got fed up with my schools forgien language department. I tell them I got a disability and they throw hissy fits and totally discouraged me to even atempt to learn something that I know I am capable of doing. I fought them a little when I took latin freshman year and more last semester. I finally gave up and dropped Spanish until I re-take the disability testing since thats allllllllll they whine about. I understand that they need to see the results and all but I've taken the testing alot and its really mentally discouraging to continually take a test to prove that you have a learning problem.

I always remember all the other kids who had learning disabilities in my middle school and high school, we were always put in classes together cause there werent enough Special Education teachers for us and most of us required one to assist us. Majority of those in the classes slacked off and didnt care much for learning. Sometimes I wonder if it was because they felt they were stupid because they were always told they had learning problems or because they felt they could just sit back and slide because thats what people expected of them. There were a few of us who actually took learning seriously and it always seemed to amaze me how they didnt care. :\ I dont think I'll ever understand. I love learning and I cant get enough of it be it history or a fictional world.

One of the best times I had over winter break was talking with Jeromy about the game Silent Hill (something I'll never play and he has...tho I'll watch the movie with him when it comes out) I asked everything I could, looked up stuff and discussed theories and the history within the game. Its a fictional world apart from our own with its own history and I wanted to learn it. Mostly so I wouldnt be lost when the movie comes out but its something he enjoys too and I really wanted to learn and be able to talk about it too. It was so much fun talking with him about it (:

After dropping Spanish, I now have 4 classes this semester. Their; Intro to Sociology with Dr Anne (shes cool and her last names way too long), Color and Design (other wise known as 2D Design) with Mr. Raines (the most awesome art teacher ever), Intro to Biblical Studies with Sister Eileen (she's...a sister...), and 3D Design with Mrs. Katie (shes cool too...she just talks too much). I really love my art classes. 2D Design is a little annoying cuz were going over the same stuff that we did in painting last semester...about negative spaces and now were learning how to draw boxes again. I'm not the greatest at the stuff so I know its needed to reinforece it...its just annoying to hear the same lectures word for word over again. 3D Designs cool. She makes my head hurt too much, I'm a 2D girl and I gotta think in 3D. Right now I'm making a water lily out of foam board. Only the petals wont stay up so I have to figure out how to get them to stay up and still look right. I also need to come up with an idea for my next project, another foam board assignment. I'm thinking of making a castle with a working draw bridge. That'd be cool. I want to go to the library and get some books on castles and make a good blue print of the layout I want. I'm my fathers daughter for sure! He's artsy kinda but more in the technical engenier fashion and I'm my mom's daughter shes artsy in the more artsy crafty creative fashion. I need to learn to combined both of their artisticness into one. Awesome things would come from it. Just look at what came from them! ME AND MY SISTER! WE'RE AS AWESOME AS THEY COME YA KNOW! LOL just kidding (:

Guess thats about all I've gotta say at the moment. Byes~

Creativity- Your inner power is

Creativity! Any of The Arts-music, dance,

pure art, drama, creative writing-are your

passion. You love the way you can control

what happens to you and your life while you

participate in any of The Arts, and you can

push your emotions aside when you do so. You

at times can feel very depressed and alone,

and yet it only further fuels your love for

your art. Life to you can often seem bitter

and cruel, a world of darkness with only a

few tiny flares of light, stretched out far

in between one another. In a way youre

confused with what you want in your life, and

find it hard to trust people. Because of this

people of the outside world see you as cold

and uncaring, yet those who befriend you love

you a lot, and know you are only very lonely

and hurting. Boys are intrigued by your

mysterious mask, and one day, one of them

will reach passed your barriers and care for

you the way you so desperately want to be

cared for. Dont let the popular people get

you down; you are a wonderful person, and

without the creativity you bring the world,

it would be a very boring place. Love

yourself for who you are, for you are very

special.
Boy/Girl who will sweep you off your feet:

A sweet, sensitive man/woman. The guy/girl

who understands your need for being alone

sometimes. Yet also someone who would do

if it means giving up their life.

Well todays been an interesting one...

I moved back to school today, to find my roommate with her boyfriend. Unpacking with a guy around was interesting. I waited to unpack my clothes til they were gone. Kayce came by and need my "Relationship advice". What advice? I dunno. We ended up calling Jeromy to "Understand a Guy's Mind" that was fun.

Karie pointed out that someone wrong insults to us on our door decorations in Spanish. >> Um...how are we suppost to know your insulting us if we cant read it? Besides the english "F*** You" in the middle of it. Laura saw it and got Ciera and their writting it up as something or other. Reporting it I think. Karie and I have no idea who could have done it. Neither of us know anyone who speaks that much spanish. (Besides Jeromy and possibly Yupa ((who hasnt even moved back in yet and we're all on good terms))). Laura thinks someone wrote it between Friday night and 4pm when Karie first saw it. Friday night because thats when her and Ciera put up the new name tags on all the doors. Amazingly I dont feel hurt or anything about this. I'm only annoyed cuz whoever it was has made this and us the first gossip of the semester AND they ruined my "sky" of my decoration on the door. Laura even told another girl who responded "They dont do ANYTHING do they?" Which we dont...Neither of us talk to many people and when we do I fully believe that we are being nice. I say hi and smile at anyone I happen to pass, I know that for sure. And I hold doors, help others. SO why us?

In other news, I have a sore throat that I cant seem to make better. Its starting to turn into a cough and makes my eyes water some. :\ Yay for me.

This will be an adventure!! This weeks been pretty eventful. Mom and I totally cleaned every little nook and crany of my room this week. I'm getting a new matriss today too! I finally reinstalled windows. Jeromy and I started Wed night and it took most of yesterday to finish. BUT its finished!! Now I just gotta move everything back onto my comp. Fun fun. Maybe I can get more organized this time? Thatd be nice.
