six.

Classical @ 06:33 pm CST

music: Keane - Bedshaped
feeling: as if summer has already invaded my brain

uff! what is this..."reduced sugar" soda stuff?
it's more like..."more water added to counterbalance soda," 'cause that's all i'm tasting. eeugh.
;__;

oh well.
school is still le suck, because certain teachers have decided that one project at a time is not enough...so i had some double projects over the past week for a class.
and now, while praying to whatever higher power is up there that the teacher doesn't pull that shit again, i have to work on an english presentation and an assload of reading to do. i may just end up reading as far as i can get and hope the teacher accepts it...then finish the book over the weekend. i can do that, yus.

i'm dying to just sit around and play video games right now, whine. but outside of school work, i have an article i promised someone and i'm also proofreading a script for her comic...so playtime is not quite here yet.
siiiigh.

six more days..

whimper.

Classical @ 07:54 pm CST


people just fucking suck sometimes.
especially when they believe that they have some special right to be a royal asshole to everyone else, or a select group of people.
if there's anything i hate more in the world than war and violence, then it's discrimination.

i bloody hate having two venting posts in a row, but this week has been just shitty for me. even the fact that i got the best damn score in the whole damn class today on my math test can't slightly lighten my mood. (the new health project i get to do all weekend kinda cancelled that out.)

so, yeah, if you enjoy venting posts, go ahead and read it.

word of the day: "anxiety."

Classical @ 07:47 pm CST

music: Starsailor - Good Souls
feeling: stressed. end of story.

got my aforementioned doodles done, but nothing else, really.
i really should've, i really should've. it would've prevented the honest-to-goodness panic attack i had today. or at least lessened the pain.

read on, only if you dare.

owch.

Classical @ 09:09 pm CST

music: Starsailor - Coming Down
feeling: eh?

my fingers are all dry-skinned and hurty.
ow.

and! goddamnit, chloe, quit bouncing that damn ball on the ceiling over my head! my sister's got some of those damn raquetballs and they make an ungodly amount of noise.
>_<

uh..
besides the ball thing and the fact that i stayed home sick today and i know i have a nice pile of work waiting for me tomorrow, life is good.

i really have to quit procrastinating on stuff. i have some doodles to do for the art teacher that won't take more than half an hour each to look up reference pictures, draw 'em and stuff...
but, hell no, i'm far too lazy and easily distracted right now.
'specially when anders and dan both appear from the 'void of no-talkingness.' :D

just gotta pull through eleven more days of grueling work at school. just eleven.
but that involves a math test wednesday and finals later, health project due friday at the latest, reading and apparently a freakin'-huge project for english, and many drawings to turn in for my drafting class!
arrgh!

and i'm probably going to be working at the local bakery this summer. yum!

whoa!
random!
in order to close this misplaced entry of mine, all i have to say is...oh, look! something shiny!
-flees-

(andand, 'hoshit, new coldplay and motion city soundtrack album june seventhhhh. -purrrrr-)

controversies.

Classical @ 11:01 am CST

music: Frou Frou - The Dumbing Down of Love
feeling: ow.

ohh, tummy pains, go away.
i woke up this morning and felt close to vomiting. still don't feel much better.

it may have been the fact that i was eating salami and cheese at two in the morning...
maybe not.
i dunno.
all i know is that my intestines are cramped up. and i'm not sure if i should eat or drink something, since sometimes i feel like it might fix things...or it would just make me puke all over the floor.

whoo, controversy in my brain.

Classical @ 06:45 pm CST

music: Travis - Somewhere Else
feeling: whee!

sigh.

Classical @ 06:05 pm CST

music: whatever videogame my brother is playing in the background
feeling: upset, i think

i le miss anders.
everyone else is getting the chance to talk to him. they think it's a short amount of time, but it's more than i've gotten!

eh.
i shouldn't worry too much, but i still haven't been fully assured that he's better. last time i talked to him, oh-so long ago, he sounded so upset.

two weeks and counting, so i hope he breaks the silence and comes back soon. or at least drops me a note.

that's the problem with long-distance friends: i can never seem to keep in contact with them, no matter how hard i try.

shovels?

Classical @ 06:18 pm CST

music: Frou Frou - Psychobabble
feeling: content

for english, i had this crazy drama project to do with a group of friends... it was an awful play; i despise it so. if i ever have to read it again, i'll need therapy.
anyway.
we got stuck with the only performance on the first day, which was no fair...
but, eh. i'm totally happy we got it over with, even if we all thought we didn't do so great. apparently everyone else was excited over it, because we got back to the room after performing and everyone was making altercations to their scripts. =P
and we got an almost-perfect score, which was like, whoa.

so, yes, i'm giggling at all the rest of the folk who still have to do theirs. it was a bonus to do it today in the end; otherwise, i would've forgotten all of my lines (worse than i did on stage x3).

and i needed that high score. my grade in that class is suffering because of my comic work last month.

so!
i have nothing to worry about much right now, except reading my book and studying for a health test tomorrow (drugs, sex, and alcohol, baby). which is nothing.
and then i get to paint my box for "art for earth"... making a donation box, and the people running it asked us to make them look like animals.
so i'm making a catbus. sofun. =d

and then my recital this weekend...which is also nothing to worry about.

so whoo!

happy keyboard dance--tikka tikka tikka!

Classical @ 05:58 pm CST

music: Starsailor - Good Souls
feeling: sticky

so last night, the bastards down the street who were working on the gas lines shut off the gas in the whole neighorbohood.
then they came pounding on the front door at ten last night as i was going to be and that scared the living shit out of me. (who visits at ten at night, honestly...)

but, since i didn't answer the door, there was no gas for our house all night. the water heater never went on and the dryer ran cold.
couldn't take a shower or dry my clothes this morning, so i'm feeling a little gooey.

hehe.
"gooey."
thank you, anders.

but it is really humid outside, though it has cleared up a little since this morning. i was trapped in orchestra hall, and even though that is a big building, the air was wet everywhere i went.

anyway.
i made my afternoon constructive and got my painting done for the "art for earth" sale next weekend, so i'm quite the happy (though gooey) camper. i was afraid the whole time it would start raining on me (being outside, painting my backyard), since it was drizzling this morning and grey the rest of the day.
but fate smiled kindly upon me today, compared to this morning, so things are good!
with ice cream! (i love the ice cream truck. i feel so kid-ish. :d)

now is time to do... ...whatever the hell i want!
hot damn, i honestly don't have to work on my comic or study for some ap test now!!
i have homework...but, y'know, that's something different. hee. :D

i go let my brain rot in front of some video games now. :3

well!

Classical @ 08:15 pm CST

music: Fever - Starsailor
feeling: like bursting with pride

all that work totally paid off.

at least i think so. :D

i had my "showcase of talent" dealie at school tonight... meaning, i put out a few display boards and what i had done on my comic pages out for people to look at. this last year in this program made me feel pretty damn good about everything i did. totally paid off, all that work, missing school yesterday to assemble my posters and books...
though i was quite bored. i just sat in a chair and doodled most of the time. :P

besides the fact that i actually gots tons of people to stop, look, and ask me questions (that really never happens), i talked with my mentor, rana, about numerous things when she showed up last-minute. she showed me some of her own projects for her animation class and that was funnnn.
anyway.
she says that i neeeed to complete my comic, because she really wants me to submit it to publishers.
...

publishers!! my comic is actually that good?!
i mean, she was honest!

i was totally planning on finishing the comic so i could feel good about doing such a thing, and have complete work to paste up on the internet here...
but opening the world of publishing is something...something absolutely unexpected. i'm, like... wow.

haha, i could actually make money off of this! xD
but, no, i never even dreamed of publishing. never. this thing was more like an experiment to me, not something i was even considering publishing...

eee. :D

now to do trigonometry homework.

still in some sublevel of artistic hell.

Classical @ 01:38 pm CST


feeling: amused, yet frantic

ohh, my comic project is going to kill meeee...

i will be turning in a half-finished comic tomorrow for my showcase display, because i love that loophole in the rules. hah, "work-in-progress" my ass. it's nowhere near done, because i just realized how long it's going to take to scan and letter these damn pages.
especially when you have a three-year-old computer that enjoys freezing up on you whenever you open photoshop, blah.

anyway.
i am now off to finish putting together about three little posterboards, but i leave you with this wonderful little video, thanks to dan.
i so want a fainting goat named "j-lo".
