Remi here, hacking in Jesse's blog. For a good reason, actually.
You see, being the sweetie I am I'm helping Jesse out here and telling you all that Jesse has no way of communication during her trip besides twitter.

Soooooo... Here's link and read 'em FOO.

Today I took pictures of all of my "relaxed proffesional" outfits for next week in order to keep track of them, and to make sure they even look good. So I might as well post them here. 8D

My favorite is the first dress without the cardigan, but it doesn't meet the "proffesional" guidlines. Ah well. And my least favorite is the second. It's not bright enough. LOL.

I only need three "relaxed proffesional" outfits, but a girl has to be prepared. I'll probably have the third as a back-up, since it's the shortest. Even though it's cute, I don't want to get in trouble for being a hoe. (Even though I wear a LOT shorter normally.)

And I wore the last one today. Means another load of laundry-dangit.

Also, I'm pretty sure this is hilarious:

Poor Shaycarl and his man bewblets.

What's in that wardrobe?

2009-07-20T10:56:00.001-05:00

long time no:

2009-07-20T04:17:00.007-05:00

blog.

But seriously, it's been FOREVER.

And I don't want to get very deep with this, but lately I've

been feeling very, very, very old.

When I was in third grade, I didn't have any knowledge of the bad things in the world, or that I had to grow up, or what responsibilities were. I just wanted to be a kid. And play pokemon.

Ahhh, that was a good year.

Today Jacklyn asked me if in no matter what instance, truth is pain.

And it made me want to cry. Very badly.

It was just yesterday I was teaching Jacklyn how to roll over. And now she's asking me the meaning of life?

In one year she'll be in middle school. It feels like I was JUST THERE. I really won't know how to be there for her- kids are SCARY in that stage of life.

And I think we would know. LOL.

Remember that old movie where the kids have the watch that could stop time? And the main character was really hot (to a 7 year old girl)? Sometimes I wish I had that. The watch.

Time passes by WAY faster than I originally thought, and I don't always take fully advantage of the fact that I am yes, a human being. And that I have WAY more resources than most, and have a loving family.

I don't always enjoy life. Which, you shouldn't every second of it, but I feel I could be doing more.

These high school years will pass in the blink of an eye- we need to live out loud (and under our parent's monetary situation, LOL) while we can.

Also, where has summer gone? Multiple times I've asked myself, "WHY IS IT NOT HOT?"

______________________

The year 2017 is when I graduate college (if 4 years- which I fully suspect it will be), and the year that Jacklyn graduates high school.

We've decided to go on a road trip. And attend as many theme parks as possible.

I'll be 22. Rrrrrrg, I don't even want to think about that.

Can I stay 8 forever, please? Mommy?

Also, what happened to Shiny Toy Guns? Their new album SUCKS my grandfather's BUTT. Srz.

__________________

And to add some humour- here are some funny pictures. LOL.

And I will NOT post this video. Because it is horrible. And severely damaged my neck. XDDDD

You MIGHT need a magnifying glass for those. LOL. But you can totally see how much lighter my hair is now. Which is not by much- but there's a difference. LOL.

___________________

This video amuses me. LOL.

The angsty part of this post may have come from that fact that I had a bad weekend, or that I'm leaving in a week, for a week. By myself. To Boston. Or that I have had 0 Super Junior in my musical diet lately.

SAY WHAAATTTT?

Exactly.

Time to GET HAPPY. :D

Giggity.

2009-07-20T03:38:00.004-05:00

This needs a LOT of work, and was also made when I had consumed three pepsis in a row.

You decide if it's worth expanding on or not. LOL.

Also, THIS:

episode of Montechello made me feel SO nostalgic. I haven't made a slideshow in a LONG time, but they've truly been some of my favorite memories.

Odds and ends.

2009-07-09T21:32:00.004-05:00

First off: WHO IS YOUR FATHER?

ME.

These socks are totally not for public wear, but I'm super glad with how the first one turned out.

Now all I have to do is make the other, LOL.

I ordered these babies off of the internet awhile back. Because I'm making a schweet cabled purse. That will replace my regular one. Because it's 10X the awesome. Plus it's orange.

Also- I got paid THIRTY DOLLARS for that babysitting job.

THIRTY DOLLARS?

I mean, one of the kids are in diapers, and it was for four hours, but THIRTY DOLLARS?

I am so open to babysitting for that family like, for all of eternity.

So here's what happened:

What, could I help it that I have zero cool/darker colors in my stash?

Or that they were having a MEGA SALE of 50% off?

Or that the yellow was CALLING to me?

Nope. I feel no guilt. I have very specific plans for it all anyways. ;D

Dream.

2009-07-09T06:05:00.003-05:00

I couldn't get to sleep last night till one.

And I have a babysitting job at seven.

So, I dreamed for like, the first time in months (dreams that I remember). Because it jacked with my MIND.

I'm just too technical to be creative even in sleep.

But here's what I left on Remi's away messages (I think it's hilarious- hopefully it is later in the day also.)

_____

luvreading7: I had a freaky dream last night.

= Super Junior was in the bleachers that they usually are in talk shows,

= but they were at a resturaunt eating dinner.

= I guess it was a fan meet, because you and I both knew they were there.

= I got there before you, and proceeded to walk up and start high-fiving them.

= And before high-fiving them, I would attempt to say their names.

= And in my dream, high-fiving was apparantly the highest form of disrespect in Korea.

= And I DOUBLE high fived Shindong and Yesung. D888

= Plus I pissed of Wookie by pronouncing the K in his name.

= And none of them had any idea why I would do such a horrible thing.

= And I was like, "NO. I LOVE YOU."

= And they just glared.

= And then I went home, and a whole bunch of things happened that I don't exactly remember.

= I think I ate a grilled cheese.

= That sounds really good right now.

___

And now I'm REALLY craving grilled cheese, dangit.

Yusssss.

2009-07-08T23:13:00.002-05:00

I BEAT YOU.

HECK YESSS.

I kind of regret I promised this to my mom- it's smooshy and nice and warm.

I'll probably end up making it in yellow for me.

Which makes me masochistic, obviously.

HAPPINESS.

2009-07-06T23:33:00.004-05:00

There are a lot more reasons to be happy other than what I'm going to type about, but I hope I can add a fixed camera to that list. So I'm not going to post much info until it's ALL happy. If that makes sense. :D

Anyways, I KNIT A SOCK.

OMG yesyesyesyesyes.

Excuse the blurriness. And ew, look at my hand on the second one.

I had pretty much lost all hope for this sock, but today I had an epiphany.

And oh boy, was it great.

I think one of the main reasons I love knitting so much is just the blind adrenaline.

I know this sounds really ironic- but most of the time, figuring out a problem or finishing a project is intellectually amazing.

It's much better than any roller coaster I've ridden on or scary movie I've seen.

It's how I get my thrills.

I'll pass on the sky diving- give me some yarn and needles and I'll be happy.

What we did all night.

2009-07-04T14:18:00.000-05:00

PLEASE explain to me why the first part with Jacklyn running is not the funniest thing you have EVER seen.

And I will prove you wrong. ;D

Oh god. Oh god. Oh god.

2009-07-04T06:23:00.002-05:00

Staying up for 36 hours straight?

At the time of challenge: HECK YEAHHH!

Now: Oh god, oh god, oh god.

I'm going to be falling asleep while handling explosives tonight.

What a way to die.

Roman candle to the skull.

Here is the time of sleepiness where you REALLY want sleep.

Before this stage is the giggly, everything is funny stage.

I usually end it there.

BUT WHY OH WHY CAN IT NOT END THERE?

Because I have no shame. And too much pride.

HECK YESSSSS.

5 random facts (stolen from remi)

2009-07-04T02:32:00.005-05:00

5: I'm drinking caffeinated hot cocoa, so my sinuses are heated up and my nose is running. Really. Really. Bad.

6: I really hate editing videos. Which explains the lack of them. (I need to snap out of this- FAST.)

7: I have yet to look up my warranty. REALLY, JESSE? REALLY.

8: My favorite smell in the world is Lily's feet. They smell the same ALL the time (like corn chips), and it makes me really nostalgic. I have NO idea how I'll survive when I move away/something happens to her. I can't even think about it. So I'll stop typing about it. Just typing that made me tear up.

(I love Duke with all of my heart also- but we have had Lily 5 more years than him. LOL.)

And now I realize how weird that whole paragraph sounds.

9: This XO scarf is KILLING me. I need to finish it since I need the needles for other things (what a great reason for finishing), but I just hate how boring the pattern is. I can do this. I can do this.

(I'm holding another needle to kill it. And my hair color is different. But you can't tell either of these things because of the lighting.)

BONUS: I'd obviously rather count up than down. Did you catch that? ;D

BONUS BONUS: Claire (A TEN year old) just demanded to watch Barney. And sang along to the songs. And now- a commercial for Bruno came on, and she hid her face in her hands and screamed.

You have NO IDEA how hard this made me LMFAO.

BONUS BONUS BONUS:

I finished this wallet type thing to go inside a purse. (I would most likely use it for tampons and change.) I really like it, but I hate the colors I used. So my mom gets it LOL.

I just have to line it with fabric and add a zipper.

It was really quick and easy. And I believe it's fairly useful, so if your birthday is coming up, this is what you're getting. No, I'm not joking. ;D

Ronald. Sob.

2009-07-03T02:38:00.002-05:00

I'm sorry, but this picture makes me pee.

Ahh, I remember this day clearly.

(I'm going through the archives since I have no available camera.)

Note to self: LOOK UP THE FRIGGIN WARRANTY.

NO MOAR WEBCAM PICS PLZ.

YESSSS.

2009-07-02T04:36:00.002-05:00

I GOT IT DONE!

I am finally FREEE to do with my knitting time what I wish.

I'm kind of jealous though, this hat is really warm.

Which explains why I'm making a replica with a different color at a later date. What else will I do with the yarn? ;D

And I need to change my method of casting on. The bottom looks so horribly sloppy.

But anyways, I stayed up till 5AM making this, so I think I deserve a nap till 3 in the afternoon.

Good night.

Hair.

2009-07-01T22:16:00.004-05:00

Tonight, I went through the agonizing trouble of dying my hair.

I wash it out, condition, and blow dry.

Then, I look in the mirror.

Why is my hair not a different shade? Hmmm.

I read the box.

And found out that this dye doesn't dye hair, silly, it just "enhances shine".

God friggin hair dye.

So, I get to repeat the process tomorrow.

At least I know what to do now. Gawd.

It looks the exact same, amiright? (Look at the mitten pictures.)

On a much lighter note, I forgot to post these, because I'm kind of ashamed of it.

I mean, how did I get THAT high on sugar to make this?

OMG ME SO KAWWAAIIIII. NEKOO-CHAAAAN.

I also never posted pictures of the completed mitten.

(The first one's contrast is blown out by my webcam, but gives you a full view of it.)

KNITTAN.

2009-07-01T13:35:00.004-05:00

The blanket that is tootootoo cool for you, and the hat for the hat swap. That I really hate knitting.

The best thing about knitting a blanket? It keeps your legs warm while you knit.

And it's homespun, so it's really smooshy and nice. 8D

I've been watching alot of TV lately online, since that's my background noise for knitting.

Two birds with one stone, man.

As of now I have watched:

-The Office (All of season 5)

-Family Guy (All of the current season)

-American Dad (All of the current and last seasons.)

-Arrested Development (Like, every single one ever made. Because it is that amazing.)

Ahhh, I love you summer.

Second Post.

2009-06-24T23:06:00.002-05:00

If you only have time to read one, read the first. LOL.

I must have won a free book from a blog, because it showed up on my porch addressed to me.

And I did not order this book, LOL.

To the left of that is the hat I'm working on. It'll be done before the weekend. (Huge gauge.)

It's a hat with cat ears. NO, I will not wear it in public. Ever.

I really need a hat right now, because I have the dry, after-pool awful wavy hair.

And I have nothing to keep it up in.

So? A quick hat is in order. And I don't like regular beanies.

Plus, it's a procrastiknitting (LOL) project, because I SHOULD be making a beret for a hat swap I signed up for. That I have to mail July 6.

But I don't WANT to. D8

Anyways. Night.

Basal Carcinoma Cancer.

2009-06-24T21:56:00.002-05:00

I haven't told very many people about this, because none of us really know what's happening.

Around last month or so, my dad had this growth appear on his face. Of course my mom was suspicious, because my dad is the poster child for skin cancer. (UHM, HELLO? HAVE YOU SEEN HIS FACE???)

He has never worn sun-screen while working in his life. Thus proving that yes, a human CAN look like a cherry permanantly. Or a tomato. Even in winter.

He finally got it checked out, and it was cancerous.

BUT, the doctor's said that it was not the bad type of cancer. So it's not benign, but it's not bad, either.

Yeah, I don't really get it either.

They burned a little of it off, and now my dad has to get surgery to, well, cut/scoop it out.

SIDE NOTE: I googled the type of cancer it was, and as a public service announcement:

NEVER GOOGLE TYPES OF CANCERS/WOUNDS IF YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR DINNER DOWN.

Just saying. I've never seen so many bloody sores/disfigured faces in my life. And it was really sad.

But the bottom line: my dad will be fine, and life will continue. We are all mortal and bad things will happen if we make stupid choices.

So wear your sun-screen, kiddies.

But I really have nothing left to say, so I'll get back to knitting. ;D

Too much to do.

2009-06-23T21:33:00.005-05:00

Too much to enjoy, anyways. ;D

Yep, thats my "to read" pile. Notice a whole SEPERATE pile for V.C. Andrews.

Yes, I admit I am an addict. To 80's trash novels laced with incest.

Anyways.

I'm learning how to crochet granny squares. And YES. I. WILL. LEARN.

I think it's because I learned knitting first, but crocheting is just not happening. Even though it's easier.

I had a lot more to talk about, but I really don't remember.

Partially because Duke let rip. All over several of my items. Including my Curious George bag. (OMG SOB.) It's so soaked with Duke piss that there is NO way it's coming out in the laundry.

And I got the pleasure to clean up without the liquid vacuum thing, since no one charged it.

So it was only paper towels. For a full Duke bladder. (GALLONS, people.)

Anyways, my hands are infused with the stench.

Like my boyfriend's new tattoo?

It's my name. ;D

It's Trevor, the Asian body-builder. (A concoction partly to scare my mom- partly to entertain myself.)

At first she believed it, too. I'll have to send her this picture.

Ba-boom-boom.

2009-06-22T15:11:00.002-05:00

Knitting, relaxing, blasting music, dogs, good day.

And I am SO CLOSE TO FINSIHING THIS MITTEN.

In case you can't tell from the picture, I severely jacked up on one of the cables by the thumb.

I COULD rip out 20 rows and an hours worth of work, but I believe it gives it character.

Like a stubbly leg, or ugly face, y'know? 8D

And that means that the finished products won't be identical. Which I love.

But anyways. I've found my groove. I'm totally happy to fill my days with this.

I'm going to be so sad when I stop tutoring- It's given my days so much structure.

Well.

2009-06-21T22:03:00.004-05:00

I blog when I'm bored, which explains why I've lacked it this weekend.

I've had a REALLY good weekend. :D

Also, I'm going to start another long-term project for the homespun. I'm knitting a huge blanket, with these monstrosities:

I just took a shower, but I wanted the comparison to my head. They're size 50. LOL.

I'm going to look like I'm playing baseball with them.

To prepare for this project, I've been winding all of the loose skeins into balls. (The yellow was the test run.)

And it's totally fun and relaxing.

Who knows? Maybe I'll become a part-time knitter and a full-time winder. LOL.

I also signed up for a hat swap (BAD IDEA), so now I have to knit a "beret in earthy colors" by July 6th. Why did I sign up for that? WHY? Especially why did I sign up for one where the other person chooses what they want?

But it'll turn out good. Hats are easy. 8D

Rambling, rambling. Good night. ;D

Timothy.

2009-06-17T23:22:00.004-05:00

I look REALLY chubby in that picture. o_0

My dad's real name isn't Tim, but Timothy is his middle name.

So, I've named his iPod Timothy. After Little Timmy.

I mean, I've been bonding with the little guy. Loading over 20 CDs onto him takes awhile, y'know.

The plus side to this arrangement is that I can put them on my iPod too. (The good stuff, anyways. ;D)

So here's the list:

-Pretty much every Foo Fighters CD ever made.

-Dave Matthews Band

-Red Hot Chilli Peppers

-Pink Floyd

-Rush

-I'm not sure, but the band is either called Tonic or Lemon Parade. I can't tell. LOL.

His music tastes are pretty defined. LOL.

But as a baby I pretty much fell asleep to the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, so I automatically love them. We used to have a wooden stereo (LOL 80's) at my old house, and I used to bounce around to One Hot Minute and Californication.

Ahhhh.

Birthdays always make me sentimental.

My family watched Jacklyn's baby tapes, and I have to say I was quite the little brat.

Mom: "Look at the camera, Jacklyn!"

(I run up to the camera, shoving my face into it.)

Me: "LOOK AT MEEEE!!! MOMMY!!! I SEE YOUR EYEEBALLSSS!!!"

Yeah, it was really appalling. I was an only child for four years after all, LOL.

My dad is obsessed with the Foo Fighters. Which I think is funny, since he used to be a fan of Nirvana back in the day.

And the Foo Fighters was founded by the drummer of Nirvana, so it's like the circle of life. :D

Back to syncing~

D.C.

2009-06-16T22:40:00.001-05:00

LAST POST. PROMISE.

But this is like, 1/8 of the trip. And I filmed a vlog- which will be edited and posted tomorrow. ;D

THIRD POST. OMG.

2009-06-16T21:57:00.003-05:00

I find this video ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS.

I feel that I have a deep connection to Jesse McCartney. One, the name. And two, I was so close to him I could have touched him one day at Crown Center. He was on an autograph tour (Why he was at CROWN CENTER no idear), and was surrounded by a horde of teenyboppers.

So I turn around, and I'm like, "WOAHHHHH. CEELLLEEEBRITTYYY."

And then went back to shopping.

That was back when he had long hair still. And he looked awfully bored. (Don't blame him.)

But seriously. Put it on mute, I don't care. But WATCH that. I was literally peeing my pants. It's one of the most cliche and "tough" things I've ever seen.

I'm sorry, but if your voice still sounds like you haven't hit puberty yet, you should NOT put yourself on top of a Mustang with cars full of girls riding past you in a music video.

And Ludacris holding the chains to two cars? That just about killed me.

No seriously, watch it. I'll pay you a dollar.

Cause Jesse's my homedizzle, yo.

OMG KAWAAIIIIIII

2009-06-16T21:35:00.003-05:00

To start off this picture post: EYE CANDY.

AI AI AIIIII.

Ahem. This kid was asleep at the American History Museum, and I walked past him like, five times.

Like, dancing and waving my arms to see if he would wake up. He didn't.

And it was the funniest thing EVER. 8D

It seems that my mom lost a leg somewhere along the trip. Ouch.

And all of the reflecting pools were so dirty and disgusting, it's like, REALLY, AMERICA? REALLY?

But they can't put chemicals in it because of the wildlife. They could at least fish out the empty plastic bottles.

This picture is so hilarious. Epic tourist fail. <---- Three words I hope to never say again in my life.

Jacklyn being fierce in the U.S. National Botanic Gardens. (Her idea of a fun trip.)

But I got some LOVELY plant pictures, like this:

At this point of the trip (the end), Ronald was starting to die, so I only got a few flower pictures. But this fiesta plant is mighty pretty.

I COULD make a vulgar joke about Jacklyn here, but I won't.

The wildlife in the city was so freaking unashamed. They would walk right up to you and demand food. Pigeons, squirrels, small pigs, freaking african babies.

They all wanted food.

Also, SEE MY OTHER POST.

It has important info- promise. 8D

I'll upload the other 1,000,000,000,000,001 pictures and stuff later.

Whew.

2009-06-16T20:37:00.008-05:00

I'm in the mood for blogging, but have nothing to talk about.

That's basically how ALL of my blog posts originate.

Anyways.

My uncle pulled through for my birthday, and sent this in the mail:

I also have his 20$ gift card from Christmas. Because I NEVER buy books.

So 45 bucks at B&N? HECK YESSSSS!!!

I'm not sure if I should be ashamed or proud of this, but this was my dinner:

And I ate every last noodle. Took awhile, but I did.

And holy crap nobody is ever online anymore.

I found my camera chord. In other words: FINALLY.

Returning to photo editing is like re-finding that ONE friend you absolutely hate, but keep around anyways. But when they're gone you find you miss them. Alot.

(Don't worry. None of you reading this qualifies as that. But I DO have one of those. LOL.)

And I have to edit the stuff from memorial weekend still. AND vacation. In other words: HOLY CRAP. A LOT OF LONG NIGHTS.

That's not even counting all of the videos I've taken.

Oh dear god Samuel, I miss you.

(There's a HUGE story behind this, plus another HUGE story that has been added. That even Remi doesn't know about. ;D So I'll be making a video soon.)

Also, my mom is getting my dad an iPod nano for father's day.

(Since from now on we're driving to all of our vacations. Seriously.)

Why, you say? Stupid weakling.

My dad made us listen to the SAME TWO ALBUMS THE ENTIRE TRIP.

I love you dad, but 34 hours of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, and Dave Matthews Band?

There's only so much I can handle.

I mean, I'd like that music in other situations, but on the way back, I was singing EVERY SINGLE WORD to EVERY SINGLE FREAKING SONG ON THOSE TWO ALBUMS.

That is all.

Yeaahhhhh.

2009-06-15T07:38:00.002-05:00

Lately I've been busy with tutoring, so I haven't been online/had hobby time lately.

Like, my knitting pile is the same size it was when we got back from D.C.

ALSO. In Washington D.C., I took a BUNCH of film with my old Canon thingy.

AND THEY TURNED OUT!!! :DDDD

I'll have to scan them later. But you have no idea how excited that made me. Like, I just about peed myself.

Anyways, I finally traded in the Gamecube games at vintage stock, and got 40 bucks instore credit.

(So you can imagine me looking for the shelves for like, three hours for games.)

I ended up getting Sly Cooper 3, RE4, and Dog's Life.

I regret getting Dog's Life FULLY. Like I thought I would.

This is literally what the graphics look like:

It looks even worse than that in real life. Srz.

But thankfully, Jacklyn can't get enough of it. Don't ask me how or why, but she's been glued to the ps2 when I'm not using it.

____

Side note: I. Love. Sly. Cooper.

This has a back story, obviously.

Most of my childhood has been focused around this game, because late elementary/early middle school, I got obsessed and beat all three.

So I'm beating the third one again.

____

On another note, Remi played RE4 at my house, and it was totally fun.

Not like, "OMG I'MA DIE FOR LEON AND TOTALLY START A CULT." fun, but it's fun.

So I bought it. :D

But I haven't played it yet.

REASON: My mom can't find it.

I bought it with my dad, and he made me promise to not let my mom find it.

Since it's rated M and all. Which I don't get. How many R rated movies have I watched in the last WEEK? Seriously.

And basically this whole thing has been rambling.

And it's taken me almost an hour, because I've been mutlitasking.

And I have like, 500 unread blog posts.

And I have like, 10 minutes to get ready.

Greeaaaatttt.

Ahhhh.

2009-06-10T21:05:00.005-05:00

I'm really, really confused about my camera.

I don't know how it got so messed up, I don't even think it was the rain in D.C. (NO, I did not leave it in the rain. It was in a bag that got wet. But now I'm thinking that had nothing to do with it.)

Anyways. I'm just tired and confused, so I'll be strictly film for awhile. I'll be sending Ronald to Canon if I can't figure it out.

_____

Tutoring has been REALLY fun and rewarding so far. It's given me some

thing to do with myself, and a reason for waking up in the morning. And I love that I can make a difference with someone's understanding, even if it is just long division.

But there have been MANY dry points. Today, I cut out about 100 trojan horses. From manila file folders. Have you FELT those? Try CUTTING them. XD

But, other than that, it's been great. :D

______

On the knitting field, I have too much I want to do, and not enough money/time to do it.

That's probably a lie. At least the time part.

I shouldn't even have to explain this one. It's a GIANT SQUID HAT. I'd TOTALLY wear this in public. Why would you NOT WANT ONE?

Okay. I'm getting angry. Next object-

DEAD FISH HAT. I don't know why anyone in their right mind WOULDN'T make this beauty. I might not wear it in public, but it's still the funniest thing ever.

PILLOWS! :D These would be pretty quick, and I'd get to use the lovely smooshies that Remi gave me for my birthday. :DDD

Buuuuut, I still have these on the needles:

-Like, 5 blankets. (LOL.)

-Mittens! OMG!

-First pair of socks.

And I love ALL OF THEM.

If only I had multiple tentacles. I'd totally be getting these done quicker.

ALSO: I didn't link to any of these patterns on Ravelry, because, well, no one has a ravelry account. Or wants one.

Yet. ;D

P.S. I STILL HAVE TO MAKE JACKLYN'S BIRTHDAY MITTENS.

Her birthday is Friday. Two days. More like one, now.

/failing at life.

2009-06-07T22:56:00.003-05:00

Holy god that was the most stressful thing I've done in a LONG time.

I couldn't find my tutoring time sheet, so I had to turn the house upside down looking for it. Seriously.

But I found it, eventually, so I'll be able to babysit the snot-nosed kids now.

I think I'll like it though, since they're Jacklyn's age.

Anyways, today was my birthday. Since no one was able to come to the quasi-party, I saw Land of the Lost with my family. Which was hilarious.

Then we came home, had cake, and watched baby videos.

Jacklyn bought me some one pounders of baby yarn, so I'm making some baby blankets. Because I can. :D

And I can't find my camera cord ANYWHERE, and I'm not going to be doing another hardcore search for something, so just imagine the cake with Jacklyn and I.

Jacklyn's party is on Friday (Lucky she was born then. Although I was actually born on a Wednesday, not a Sunday.) We'll be seeing Up in 3D with her friends. (Some of them can only watch PG rated movies.)

So that'll be fun with her friends. :)

And that's about it. I'm going to bed now. I can't think of anything else. XD

I have so much to freaking upload.

Plus the whole D.C. thing. Yeah.

I still haven't uploaded MEMORIAL WEEKEND.

Lawdy.

The funniest thing I've seen all day-

2009-06-06T16:42:00.001-05:00

So...

2009-05-30T21:16:00.002-05:00

Today we completed 10 hours of the 34 hour trip. This was the hardest leg of getting there. Tomorrow we only have 6 hours in the car. (Yaaaay.)

It wasn't as hard as I predicted though. I sit that long at home during the summer anyways. LOL.

I got a BUNCH of work done on my mittens, even though I only worked on it for a couple of hours.

There's a sneak peek:

We're staying in Columbus, Ohio. And tomorrow we'll arrive in Washington D.C., where we'll stay in the neighboring Virginia town.

(Because pretty much only people who work for the government live/stay directly in the district.)

Anyways, we saw GOODDDDD on the way here:

(LOL.)

Tomorrow.

2009-05-30T01:00:00.002-05:00

Or in fact, later this morning.

I have SO much to upload from memorial weekend and Nebraska, but I'd rather upload pictures of my smooshy, lovey honey bear.

I really don't think I have everything packed or ready. Oh well. Nothing I can't buy there, right?

I'm tired.

34 Hours.

2009-05-28T21:34:00.004-05:00

1 and 2/5 Days.

34 Hours.

2040 Minutes.

122400 Seconds.

____

That is how long I will be in the car this next week, driving to Washington

D.C. (Yes, this includes the trip back. But this is the time ONLY in the car.) I'm not sure if I'm prepared yet. I'm not sure if one CAN be prepared for something like that.

I stocked up on smoosh power at Hobby Lobby:

I don't know why, but Vanna White makes me want to PEE myself. She is a horror movie gone wrong. (If you don't know who she is- She's the lady on the wheel of fortune who pointed to the letters. And she made knitting cool again, while being Lion Brand Yarn's spokesperson.)

And she's ULTRA creepy.

The first four green ones are for a matching mittens/scarf set which will look like this:

But I'm overly excited for the mittens. Aren't they SO CUTE? :D And the scarf has a cute keyhole thing in it, so it'll stick when you overlap it. If that makes sense. Just look at the picture.

And the sock yarn is for socks. WOAH REALLY? NUUU WAY.

And I will ATTEMPT socks. I'm not making any guaruntees at this point. Man.

But I WILL try hard. Probably on the ride back, since I won't be able to contain my excitement for the mittens on the way there.

And don't ask me why I'm knitting mittens in the summer. I'm not going to WEAR them right now. Geez. XDDD

But my mom has gotten majorly into my new hobby. She got major jealous at Remi's hat, and said I did such a good job she was going to cry.

Which, made the room akward. As you can imagine.

She's pretty much put into commision every single garment imaginable. Including a carbon copy of Remi's hat.

I'm generally a selfish knitter, but I'm going to be churning out a bunch of stuff for next Christmas. Because giving is always nice. Especially when the items are cute. :D

But, yeah. Those mittens are MINE. And only MINE.

Take my XO scarf, take my golfer hats, take my YARN even, but you will not take my mittens.

Once they come into existence, anyways. :D

But I have to go to bed now, since I have a lot to pack tomorrow.

Did I mention my power chord came? I don't believe I did.

Amazon CLEARLY said that my package was still in New Jersey, but it arrived today and made me pee myself with joy.

So I like Amazon again.

And I like my soft, bed. Full of my soft, smooshy yarns. Which I will caress until morning.

Goodnight. ;D

THE HAT.

2009-05-27T20:34:00.005-05:00

YOU JUST GOT SERVED.

And I have a bunch left over, so I'm making one for my mom.

___

"This would look SO good with my grey jacket." (Totally not suspicious, mom.)

"Uh, this is for Remi."

"WHAT? I BIRTHED YOU OUT OF MY VAGIGI."

301 Posts-

2009-05-27T12:59:00.003-05:00

Yeah, I basically only made this one for the number. :D

Uhm. Not much has happened.

I bought an old Canon Canonet QL something or other that takes 35mm film. And I love it. 8D

And the light meter even works, so it's in pretty good condition besides a few dents.

Since my laptop chord is gone, I have to use my mom's laptop that can't charge my iPod or transfer pictures.

And the new one I bought won't come till next week. When I'm on vacation. THANKS AMAZON.

So I'll have to be super cautious with how many pictures/videos I'm taking, because if my cameras fill up, sucks for me.

I'm also trying to eat healthier. I woke up at noon today, so this was my breakfast:
-Full orange (Haven't eaten one since early childhood. Seriously.)
-Spinach salad with chopped grape tomatoes and Ranch (Ranch isn't as bad as people make it out to be if used in moderation. And I love it. 8D)
-Bowl of generic corn flakes (I know, this basically ruins today's good streak. They have more sugar than they're worth and aren't whole wheat. I was just craving milk. ;D)

Uhhh. My plants are getting along nice. Stewart has a few more leaves.

I really have nothing to talk about. I usually just post pictures, but I can't do that. So yeah.

2009-05-25T00:05:00.002-05:00

My laptop power chord just blew up.

Excuse me while I bash my head into a wall a couple hundred times.

(Videos/pictures from this weekend will probably have to wait a few weeks, or even a month or two. I do NOT have the money for this right now. Even the Chinese knockoffs cost 80 or more dollars.)

BIG NEWS.

2009-05-21T22:58:00.004-05:00

I didn't want to say anything, because this wasn't definite.

But I bought my camera!!!!! :D

My parents agreed to pay for their half in advance, since we're going on vacation the week after next, Nebraska is tomorrow, etc. etc. And I'd like to document it. ;D

By the time we got to best buy, it was like, eight thirty. And then my mom had to shop. And then when we got home, it was ten.

So I really have no time for editing. Parts are sideways, so deal and tilt your head. ;DDD

I'll figure out how to get the best quality and widescreen later.

But it's eleven right now, and I still have to pack and crap.

Warning: The quality is REALLY bad. I'll look into it later. ;D

Three.

2009-05-19T17:04:00.002-05:00

Three things I'm looking forward to in summer:

-Lemonade. Even if it's the Kool-Aid kind, it just screams summer.

-Ice cream man visits. This is self-explanatory. ;D

-Boston. And our family vacation. Did I already mention these? If I did, too bad. :P

LOL.

2009-05-18T21:43:00.003-05:00

Four days. I still can't believe it. XD

FOUR THINGS I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO IN SUMMER:

-Endless bike rides!

-Ordering a pizza without my mom knowing. (On a to-do list. ;D)

-TIME, TIME, TIME! (For everything)

-Taking family portraits! (My mom finally agreed.)

2009-05-17T22:12:00.003-05:00

DAYS TILL SCHOOL IS OUT!!!!!!! OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGGGOMGOMGOMG.

I still can't believe it.

I mean, SUMMER. Is in FIVE DAYS.

Today was a really good day, because I got motivated and earned a lot of money towards the video camera cause.

I'm going to have a lot of fun with that. ;D

Anyways... I'm going to be on vacation with my family in D.C. in TWO FREAKING WEEKS. Which I can't believe either. That's going to be amazing.

Today I gardened alot also. Here are our blueberry bushes:

And here is my "yummy bell" pepper plant named Stewart:

He is my adopted son.

And I'm going to have a LOT of time to take care of these, since I'll have nothing else to do. LOL.

But I'm just looking forward to freedom.

FIVE THINGS I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO IN SUMMER:

- Chilly early mornings in lawn chairs drinking chai tea

- Full day library trips at my mom's work

- D. C. TRIP SON

- Recording pointless videos (NEVER pointless ;D)

- Photoshoots!

I haven't wrapped my mind around five days yet. It's just amazing.

Hmm.

2009-05-16T23:33:00.003-05:00

In continuing with the last post, I'm being interviewed by a popular book blog now.

Don't ask me how, I really don't know.

Here it is: http://livsbookreviews.blogspot.com/

Liv is really nice, and she's randomly interviewing me. For whatever reason

. It just sort of... happened. XD

I've been planning on starting a serious book blog this summer, and when s

he posts this, I want her to link to something of mine (besides Flickr). So it can start off on the right foot. 8D

Also, since I ordered some double pointed needles, (YES. THANK YOU, LUCK AND DNA.) Getit? Atheist Joke? Eheh.

Anyways, I really, really, really, want to knit these:

Great.

2009-05-14T22:17:00.004-05:00

So apparently, if you search "Grey Eyes" (Not how you spell it. :P) on Yahoo! Images, guess who comes up on the first page?

ME.

So I was looking at my Flickr stats, and this picture had 83 views. And I was like, WTF? It's a picture of my EYES for godssakes. Here's what it took me to:

I'm the second to last. But on the FIRST page. Which is kind of creepy, because I KNOW that some punk kid probably used my picture in a project for school without crediting anything.

And that's MY FACE.

Am I the only one weirded out by that? XDDD

But I thought I'd post this. Because I'm not sure how I feel about it. XD Right now, it's really cool. Until people at school start using me in their projects. ;D

And I KNOW that nobody uses these pictures or whatever. Don't even go there, people. But there's potential, right?

I'm going to bed now.

I. M. T.

2009-05-08T23:43:00.004-05:00

I. Made. Truffles.

I don't think I should have to explain any more than that.

They were SO good.

Holy. Jesus.

2009-05-08T22:29:00.001-05:00

What your first name means:

Hebrew	Male	Wealthy. Jehovah exists. The father of King David in the Old Testament. Famous Bearer: American outlaw Jesse James (1847-82).
English	Male	Jehovah exists. In the bible Jesse was shepherd-father of King David. Also used for girls.
Biblical	Male	Gift; oblation; one who is

Your number is: 8

The characteristics of #8 are: Practical endeavors, status oriented, power-seeking, high-material goals.

The expression or destiny for #8:
Your Expression is represented by the number 8. The 8 Expression is well-equipped in a managerial sense. You have outstanding organizational and administrative capabilities. You have the potential for considerable achievement in business or other powerful positions. You can expect to receive the financial and material rewards. You have the skill and abilities to establish or operate a business with great efficiency. You have good judgment when it comes to money and commercial matters, and you understand how to build and accumulate material wealth. Much of your success (or lack of it) may come due to your ability (or inability) to judge character. With the number 8 Expression, you exercise sound judgment in most of your affairs; you are realistic and practical in your approach to business matters.

The positive 8 Expression produces individuals that are very ambitious and goal-oriented. If the 8 energy is not in excess in your makeup, you will no doubt express these traits to some extent. No one has any more energy that a person with the 8 Expression who has a plan laid and is starting to work. No one has any more self-confidence, either. If you are expressing the positive qualities of 8, you are an outstanding manager because you can plan, initiate, and complete projects; you are very dependable and determined.

As it always happens, there can be too much of a good thing. If you have too much of the 8 energy in your makeup, you may express some of the negative attitudes. A negative 8 can be very rigid and stubborn. Ambition sometimes has a way of becoming over-ambition, and you may express an unreasonable impatience with the lack of progress. If your negative side is showing, you may be too exacting, both of yourself and of others. Sometimes this can even becomes a case of intolerance.

The number 8 is very materialistic and also very desirous of status and power. Neither of these drives are inherently negative unless they are taken to an extreme. You must avoid the tendency to strain after money, material matters, status, or power, to the detriment of the other important factors in your life.

Your Soul Urge number is: 22

A Soul Urge number of 22 means:
The Soul Urge of the master number 22 is very much that of the master builder. You would like to use your abilities in an important humanitarian undertaking, and have an innate desire is to express the significant power you feel in a concrete manner, as a builder, engineer, diplomat, etc. In some way you want to make a considerable contribution to the world.

The 22 gives a broad, universal outlook with a rather practical and common-sense approach. You have especially high intelligence, with an unusual perception and awareness. This number often denotes a high degree of diplomatic abilities and high ideals. You are a very capable person and you may possess special leadership abilities that you can and should develop. People respect you and recognize your superior foresight and vision.

The negative side of the 22 soul urge is a high degree of nervous energy and a tendency to be very dominating. It is unfortunate that all who possess the urge of 22 do not use its energies to the greatest advantage; but then it should be recognized that these energies are understandably the most difficult to focus and direct.

Your Inner Dream number is: 4

An Inner Dream number of 4 means:
You dream of being a very solid citizen that people can depend upon. You strive for organization and predictable order. You want to be recognized as a person with a plan and the discipline to make that plan work like clockwork.

____

HOLY JESUS THIS IS TOTALLY RIGHT. SCAN IT, MAN.

And what's even funnier is that the number 4 has always been my lucky number. And 8 is two fours. That's reaching a bit, I know, but there's an actual four in there. ;D

And BTW, my name literally means that God exists. Uhm, LOL.

Uhm. Yeah.

2009-05-06T21:54:00.003-05:00

I've been sort of, neglecting the computer this week.

But it's not NEGLECTING, it's finding better things to do with my time. :D

Mother's day is Saturday, and I have a washcloth finished. But I need to make a little bath poof thing. I'm making her a skin care kit. LOL.

The This American Life screening is tomorrow, and I'm so excited. :DDD

I have A+ tutoring, but the skating party thing got canceled. So it won't be as busy as I thought. XD

But I've been super busy knitting, and I've been reading a lot more lately.

Sarah Dessen is like, my ultimate author for escape reads. Seriously.

I'm running the mile tomorrow. But I'll be fine. I rode bikes for awhile yesterday, and sprinted a half-mile today on the treadmill.

I know that's not much at all, but it's better than nothing, and running is all mindset anyways. The shape your body is in doesn't have much to do with it.

Did you know that if you only get five hours of sleep as opposed to the regular nine, you're 70% more likely to become obese?

I don't care about that, but I thought it was funny while listening to 60 minutes on the treadmill. It's very possible. Think about it. ;D

Bluffin' with my MUFFIN.

2009-05-04T15:43:00.002-05:00

I haven't listened to Lady Gaga in forever.

ANYWAYS.

I've come to terms with the whole WOF thing, and I'm not as upset or broken up about it as I was at first.

Because I'm not going to spend my whole freaking summer moping around.

And my parents offered to both get passes with me, and go once every other weekend or so. And just sit at the entrance eating funnel cakes, I guess.

Really, it would be a LOT easier for them just to let me go. And if I'm going to get hurt there, I'll get hurt with or without them in the park itself.

But whatever.

In other news, for mother's day, I'm knitting her some washcloths. LOL. I love cotton yarn, so yeah.

For her Christmas present, I'm knitting this beauty:

It's cabled with Xs and Os. DO YOU SEE IT? :DDDDDDDDDD

It takes FOREVER, so by the time it's done, it WILL be Christmas. LOL.

Yeah, there's not much else to update on.

WOF.

2009-05-02T23:20:00.003-05:00

That's an oxymoron, because this situation isn't fun.

So my parents and I had a LONG talk last night. And it involved a lot of crying.

No, I am NOT ashamed.

Anyways. It is a no, has always been a no, and will always be a no.

My dad is the only one with a problem at this point. First, rapists. But his other main arguement was that I could SPRAIN MY ANKLE. Going down STAIRS.

That remark got me ANGRY, man. So I asked him if I should live in a padded box for the rest of the summer. He said, "Yes. That's preferable."

Though he didn't say preferable, because he had drank a couple of beers. But that's what he meant.

Anyways. Last year they said this year, and I'm pretty positive that next year they'll hold it off again.

But whatever. Another horrible summer will be worth one good one, right?

But seriously. I'm SCARED for this summer. I'd rather stay in school.

And then I brought up that point. What am I going to DO? Pretty much my whole summer was riding on that decision. Since I'm pretty much not allowed to go outside during the summer, that was going to be my lifeline.

My parents offered boarding school over the summer. I'm freaking serious.

And they were offering online courses or something.

First, why would I want MORE reasons to stay inside and be miserable? Second, why would you waste thousands of dollars that we DON'T have on me, when a season pass would be free because I would pay for it anyways?

Honestly.

These girls that I sit with at lunch haven't even been on the mamba ONCE because they're scared of every single thing around them. And they have season passes. For camp Snoopy.

It just makes me frustrated. I get all A's, have been doing extra chores, and they won't even consider something that would be FREE to them anyways.

It's all due to my parent's childhoods. My luck, right? Neither of them had parents that bothered to protect them from anything. Long story, won't tell it. So my life has to be perfect by their standards.

No, mom, my legs WON'T get chopped off by wires. And I WON'T fall down stairs. And I WON'T puke and then choke on it.

And that wasn't even a joke. She suggested all of those.

But anything I type here won't make a difference anyways.

These are the years of my life where I should be making memories, not wanting to forget them, y'know?

So there's the briefing. Now you all know what's happening.

ALL PICTURE POST.

2009-05-02T23:16:00.001-05:00

Because I have a few days to make up for.

I think I just defeated the purpose of an ALL picture post.

I like the fan one though. Because it's DE-saturated. Never thought one of MY pictures would look like THAT, huh? ;D

I have issues.

Oooh.

2009-04-29T19:47:00.002-05:00

Yum.

I made some cinnamon bread that we made in FACs. Usually, I don't use the recipes again. But this one takes like, two seconds and is really good.

18 days is seeming like less and less every second.

I really, really, want to be able to get a WOF pass. So I've been making dinner and doing laundry, my dad's jobs (he's the one with the rapist issues), so I can get on his good side.

And I've been making him dessert. It's the only way to please a man. STOPIT. DON'TCHOO TAKE IT LIKE THAT.

Anyways.

Experimented with a home-made flash ring today. (A flash that's a circle and wraps around your lens. You can usually see the ring in a model's eyes, and it looks real cool.)

Yo.

2009-04-28T22:07:00.002-05:00

The last day of track today was bitter-sweet. And in that picture, you can see my V-neck tan. Not really well, but I still think it's hilarious. Every time I get out of the shower I laugh hysterically. It's a V, MAN. LOL.

But I totally don't want to lose what I've gained from all of this hard work. Treadmill, anyone?

I didn't do so well today, but I'm happy it's over. :D

I'll have so much extra free time in the weeks to come, I won't know WHAT to do with myself. Seriously. THREE extra hours is like, summer-length days to me.

I'm so ready for summer. I'm catching up on school work, because the stuff we're doing in comm. arts now is actually interesting. It's about the Little Rock Nine, the first kids to integrate in Arkansas. Which obviously, would not turn out well. And it didn't. But in the end it was all worth it. :D

19 days will come and pass, and then Summer will be here. I'm excited, although I will have absolutely nothing to do all day.

Time to go to bed.

To everyone wondering, THIS is what a flash "diffuser" does. I can't really call it a diffuser, because I just use colored sticky notes. What it does is tint a picture, like lomography. Which I really like. Here's a sample:

Yum.

2009-04-26T22:24:00.001-05:00

NEW PROJECT.

At least one picture a day, until summer.

I have like, twenty days. Not too hard to manage, right? ;D

Todays theme: Food. They needed editing so bad, but I'm leaving it.

This whole project will also be posted on my "family friendly" blog.

Lyk, totly.

2009-04-26T03:10:00.003-05:00

I know this feature has been up forever, but I've just now had the time to investigate it.

YouTube is offering, legally, hundreds of old TV shows and movies for viewing now.

OH DEAR LORD, WHYYYYYY?

Did I need ONE more thing to suck more time away from my life and social gatherings? No. Did I get one? Yes.

In case you didn't get me earlier, that was a joke. But seriously. I've been watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Bewitched, and a bunch more 80's shows since like, a normal person's bed time.

Also, tonight we made sushi. A freaking butt-load of it. We made two cups of sushi rice, and apparantly it takes just about 1/8 for six pieces of sushi. So we're pretty much going to throw away a bunch.

It was freaking GOOD, too. I totally want to have a sushi birthday party now. That'd be fun, righhht? XD

We also bought some frozen dumplings that were really good. But with pink meat, so we might die. But WHAT'S SUSHI? Exactly.

I also found my 50mm lens. YESYESYESTHANKYOU DNA AND LUCK. (LOL. That was a joke. Get it? If I didn't want to say god?) Anyways.

I went on a huge portrait spree, and figured out that I could put things in FRONT of my flash to make it change COLORS. Novel concept, right? I actually felt stupid after I thought of it. Seriously. THAT'S how stupid the idea was. When I finally figured it out.

Anyways, my ghetto diffuser pictures will be up soon too.

This blog needs to be re-designed. Badly. I suck at these layouts.

I'm also going to start some sort of count-down-to-summer project. Maybe pictures, maybe blog posts, I don't know.

But I'm tired. And need some more 80's juice.

Well then.

2009-04-19T23:09:00.003-05:00

I've succeeded in putting off an insane amount of homework.

A research paper, alternative ending (easy), graphic organizer, book cover, and the memorizing of about 40 Spanish verbs/phrases.

Half of that is due Tuesday, the other half Wednesday.

Why I insist on doing this, I'll never know.

In other news, particularly knitting news, I'm knitting an "MU" blanket, because the only colors I have are yellow and black. How ironic, since I'd rather attend KU. But MU is nice, just the same. And I'd rather not attend KU anyways.

It's a black-yellow block thing, with the yellow blocks having a paw-print indentation. It's hard to explain.

And I really have NOTHING else to talk about, as you all know. ;D

But my mom's buying it off of me for her boss, once it gets finished. Because he attended there. To learn how to farm, which is also ironic.

But, anyways. Homework rant, knitting rant, there's really nothing else in my life at this moment.

As of tomorrow, THREE more Mondays left of school.

Anyone up for an end of the year party? Every year, my plans always fail. So let's plan it now. Who's up for one? :D

I'm so doing another honk for summer sign.

I have another track meet tomorrow. My last relay was quite successful on my part, as I gained three places, but the next two people totally lost it. Running a lap full sprint is not easy, people.

The track we're going to tomorrow is concrete, which makes it worse. But whatever.

And my comm. arts teacher has gotten into her head that we can do a full book unit by the time school is out. Teacher. We have FOUR weeks. Last I remember, it took a full half-year for our last one.

Because we just ALL LOVE homework, right, kiddies?

I'm tired. I'm just droning on at this point. And I still have a few hours before bedtime.

I'm off to listen to some TAL, and knit another tiger paw. Night. ;D

This made me LOL.

2009-04-13T23:38:00.001-05:00

I made this in literally two seconds.

It's not actually posted, but it's an LOLcat. ;DDDD

OMG QUICK. FIND MY HUGE MISTAKE THAT I DON'T HAVE TIME TO FIX.

HINT: FINGERS. ;D

Harumph.

2009-04-13T22:26:00.002-05:00

It seems that every time I take the time to blog, I'm either too tired or angry to even register anything that I'm typing. Perhaps I'm just incompetent as of late.

My mom says there's a possibility of getting a typewriter for free from her work. I hope that was a sincere offer, because my pulse just skyrocketed. Seriously.

I grew up on typewriters, since my mom had two back in the good ol' days when that was what most word processing took place on.

I hope it's a clacky one, if she does find one. That's what makes it worth it.

I can't physically write anything on a computer. The keyboard is clacky, but I just can't stare at an LCD screen, I need instant result. Maybe a typewriter makes things a bit more permanent and personal. I know writing letters would be a lot more fun. :)

But I do any writing for school work on paper first, like my poem board thingy. That was a BAD situation. I had three hours to get five poems and five pictures. I sincerely hope I never decide to procrastinate again. Yeah, like THAT will happen. But all is well now, and

since there's major testing this whole week, the load will be lighter.

And guess what? There are only FOUR more mondays to this school year. But five Fridays. Whatever.

It seems like every year this is the time when I finally get used to the fact that I do, yes, HAVE to attend school. And I don't hate it as much during these months.

But JUST when I start to feel this way, it's gone again.

But god, I can't wait till Summer. Even if it will be like the last summer

, and I will hate it. Today was like a Monday on steroids. This morning took a LO

T of sheer will power to get going.

Didn't have any time to knit today. I have a feeling the garage sale will have like, three things. But that makes it all the easier to sell, right? ;D And besides, there's always the fall.

We have a track meet tomorrow, and I haven't so much as JOGGED in a WEEK. I'm going to die. And it's an away meet, so I'll probably embarass myself in any possible way. O

h well. Can't win them all. Not that I ever did.

Well, I've rambled on enough. I don't even remember a word I typ

ed. I seriously don't like typing on computers. XD

Here are a few zombie pictures from the photoshoot. They didn't turn out as well as I hoped, but there were a few that just about made me pee my pants. These turned out HILARIOUS. I'll post a few more when I have time. Summer, man. Just wait till SUMMER. ;D

That last one is amazing.

I really need to start learning more on photo-shop. I can make an image LOOK good, but I can't do much beyond that. I feel like I'm not improving any, so it's time to kick it up a notch.

This is the time of the year when I get sick of not liking school and being lazy. I get ultra-productive, and then crash when summer starts.

Ah, life. ;D

CABLE TIME.

2009-04-11T21:55:00.002-05:00

I realize that all I ever talk about is knitting anymore, and I apologize.

But when you find something you love with all of your heart, you tend to run with it. ;D

These are quick to make, and I'll definatley be experimenting with different cables and ways to use them.

The garage sales are next week, so I'll be making drink coozies for Jacklyn's lemonade stand. :D

Octopus Pie.

2009-04-10T01:16:00.004-05:00

So, I haven't updated this in awhile.

But I am now. :D

I've been in a funk lately, but I made huge progress on it tonight. Had to air out the dirty laundry, so to speak.

So I was at Micheals after dinner buying yarn, right? And I saw this p

urple, and it spoke to me. I wanted to create an octopus scarf.

How unoriginal. But ANYWAYS, it's a long purple strand, and there will be suckers on it.

This is the finished purple:

And now I need to decide what color of suckers to put on it. I have orange, because I'm making another octopus in orange, or I have cream, from another scarf.

If I choose orange, it will be cool because I'll have one purple tentacle with orange suckers, and one orange tentacle with purple suckers.

Get it?

But I'm not sure which one LOOKS better.

Here's a comparison:

(Once the suckers are sewn on, the strings will be invisible. This was just a mock-up. ;D)

Either IM me, or leave a comment. I need some SRZ opinions on this. ;DDDD

If you think the ideas bad, I don't care. I'm selling both of these anyways. And I love the idea, so that's all that matters. :D

I'm headed to bed now. I'm thoroughly exhausted.

NIGHT.

Lala.

2009-03-18T23:19:00.003-05:00

Two things that I can love consistently. Forever.

Icy-hot patches, and arthritis cream.

HEAL, HEELS, HEAL.

And we came up with a name for the knitting thing that just about no one wanted to contribute to. ;D

It's going to be called tightly knit, (GET IT? AHHAAH.) And the title picture will be me and jacklyn on opposite sides of the banner, with a scarf connecting our necks. And the title will be on the scarf.

Creative, huh? Not really.

GET OFF THE STAGE.

New things.

2009-03-12T21:11:00.004-05:00

Here are some of the websites that have caught my interest lately:

Ravelry is a beta social network. For knitters. And I know I've been raving about this new hobby lately, but it's freaking awesome. And old ladies have finally figured out the internet. There are free patterns, forums, and just neat stuff. It says you need an invite since it's beta, but it'll send you one within two days. They're not that selective. ;D

www.ravelry.com

With all of these hardcore NHD and science project nights, I've really been missing out on my reading. What I DO read daily is blogs. And what better way to read a classic novel than through my RSS feed? I'm currently reading Pride and Prejudice, Middlemarch, and Incidents in the Life of A Slave Girl. It just sends me half a chapter daily into my blog feed, where I'll be sure to read it. ;D And you can get them by email also. But who uses THAT anymore? XD

www.dailylit.com

Remember BookMooch? Yeah, I did awhile back too. I completely forgot about it, and have an inbox full of complaints with people like, "WHERE ARE MY BOOKS," and such. I found swaptree, which I like much better. You can swap a book for another book, CD, movie, or game. Which makes it funner. And it automatically pairs you with another person, which I like too. A point system like BookMooch is SO 2008. Believe me. The layout is cooler too. But I'm going to catch back up on BookMooch saying I had a "family emergency". Works every time.

www.swaptree.com

WAIT I FORGOT.

2009-03-10T23:13:00.002-05:00

If you don't read any of the other posts, read this one! :D

I'm starting up a little Etsy shop to keep me occupied in the summer. Where I'll hopefully sell scarves and crap.

The one obstacle? I need a name.

Something punny. Like, Knit Wit, The Garish Garter, etc.

Those are already used and stupid.

If you have ideas, let me know!!! :D

Things I have learned from the internet.

2009-03-10T22:46:00.003-05:00

- What every dirty word means, is, etc.

- How to knit.

- How to vlog.

- How to create an outstanding photgraph.

- What products to buy.

- Sense of humour.

- Basically ALL of my music.

- How to find free music sheets.

- How to socially network, starting with Neopets way back when.

- How to write poetry.

- How to do homework. (Julia Nunes bless blackboard.)

- How to talk to parents at work. Email.

- How to kill other hobos. One word: HOBOWARS. (I don't play it anymore though. ;D)

There are many more, but my brain is dry. And I have another post to write. ;D

Hello.

2009-03-10T22:36:00.003-05:00

I know I wasn't quite serious with Antonio in the last post, but now I am.

I'm in a serious blogging mood tonight.

I've been sentimental lately, and thinking about the future alot.

If you are reading this, yes, YOU, I want you to either comment, or post on your life list.

Because sometimes, we all need to have a look at this list. It's the basis of our lives.

THE BEST MOMENT OF MY LIFE. EVER.

- Maybe it was when I learned how to ride a bike in a day just to surprise my dad. And he was impressed, if only for a moment.

- Maybe it was when I spent a ton of time with my loved uncle, just before he died from lung cancer.

- Maybe it was when I bought a six hundred dollar camera, proving I had a chance at maintaining myself in my own way.

- Maybe it was when I was accepted to my SECOND east-coast academic trip.

- Maybe it was when I realized, in the span of two seconds in my comm. arts class, that I have/ will have nothing whatsoever to complain about. Ever.

- Maybe it was another snap moment, like the one above, where knitting came naturally, after teaching it to myself.

THE WORST MOMENT OF MY LIFE. EVER.

- Probably it was the day I learned that my uncle had died, and I cried at school. During the Lion King, when Mufasa died. And no one knew. Then I had to make up excuses.

-Probably when the day when I got home from school in first grade, and learned that my grandpa had died.That morning, when I was getting ready for breakfast. The night before was the ONLY night of that year that I didn't kiss him goodnight. I'm still regretful about that. I didn't even get to KNOW him. We have all of this history, WWII letters, medals, but I never got to know the face.

- Probably when Cocoa died. I don't know if you guys knew this, but I walked home, saw my mom at the door with red watery eyes, and just collapsed on the couch with her sobbing. That dog meant more than anything I have ever had. I don't know where Jacklyn was.

- Probably when I learned someone who I thought loved me, didn't.

- Probably when I learned I wasted eighty dollars on a cheap guitar from Ebay. (Not one of the worst, but pretty bad. ;D)

- Probably when I dropped my iPod in the toilet. I was half tempted to never tell my mom.

There's more than this, but that's the best I can formulate. I'm tired. Nighhhht.

POST IT, HOMESLICES.

And btw, OBSESSED WITH THIS VIDEO:

I cannot be the only one that thinks this is cooler than life itself.

And I can't even fathom how her computer could hold so many pictures.

Hola.

2009-03-10T22:15:00.013-05:00

ME LLAMO ANTONIO.

I MODEL FOR VARIOUS MEXICAN WEBSITES.

I GET SAD WITH NO LADY FRIENDS NEARBY.

WE HAVE COYOTES IN MEXICO. AY AY AY.

I TAKE MYSPACE PICTRUES WITH THEM. AY AY AY.

AND MONKEYS. AY AY, AY?

BET YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT THIS MOUSTACHE IS, BUENO?

BURRITO. TACO.

...

2009-03-08T23:27:00.004-05:00

I just literally cried for joy.

I don't know why, or how, but Ronald got his act together. Click them to make them bigger.

I have 500 pictures of the ground, when he was freaking out and wouldn't stop taking pictures.

It made some neat textures though. :D

And that's the progress of the March scarf.

I'm freaking tired.

I'd REALLY like to do a photoshoot at the pool or penguin park. Or Target. Or library. Or WOF.

Summer, I hope you deliver. Because I'm waiting patiently.

...

2009-03-05T00:19:00.002-06:00

I can now officially wear it as a tube top.

DON'T TELL ME THAT'S NOT AMAZING.

Yeah.

I've been having about four hours worth of sleep since this monday. And it's wearing me down, man.

Plus I ran about two miles at full speed today in track. So that hurts. Just a bit.

And my eyes hurt. And brain.

And my camera still isn't fixed. Which makes me want to claw my eyes out.

Anyways. Back to bed.

Because my life is boring.

2009-03-03T19:46:00.002-06:00

Yes, this IS all that matters in my life right now.

There's March's progress. Which isn't much, but still.

WHO'S YO YARN DADDY?

But I'm VERY worried, because I had no idea how much yarn this skein would use when I bought it. And apparantly my supply is depleting. So, another trip to the yarn shop for me.

Not that there's anything wrong with that. ;D

And track today RIPPED ME UP.

All the other kids that are in it have already done other sports, so I'm the one lagging person. Sigh.

I'll be like AWHNALD by the time this is over. Just you see.

Hem.

2009-03-02T21:35:00.003-06:00

As you probably know, I'm starting a knit 12 project.

(One scarf for each month. Or hat. Whatever I feel like.)

This month, March, is a self-striping orangish red. Thing.

That's my progress so far. It's a bit brighter in person, but notice the incorporated endless webcam mirror.

Ohhhh yessss.

But I'm pretty happy with it, considering it's only the second day of the month. The basic goal of the project is to spend more time with myself. In a positive way. :D

In other news, my camera decided to up and die on me. Which is very scary, frightening, and is so sad that I could cry right now. Into my 1/8 of a scarf.

It's not TOTALLY dead, but it's been doing this way weird thing where it won't take a picture if you press the button, but if you turn it off and then on again, it will start taking 100s. And won't stop.

Not only is this annoying, but there is literally no way to take a picture. At all.

And I mourn for it.

We're going to find a camera shop around here somewhere. Hopefully one that actually has people who know what they're doing. As in, no Best Buys.

Arrrg. And nothing even happened to make it go crazy all of a sudden. It just DID.

But whatever. Back to my knitting, I will NOT let this ruin everything! :D

And track was surprisingly fun. I will enjooyyyy it. Can't wait for some actual, meat working, sweating EXCERSIZE.

Yeah.

2009-02-28T23:46:00.003-06:00

Yeah, I made state.

Fan freaking tastic.

And I only made third, out of three, so I'm not going any farther.

So now I have to spend ANOTHER weekend going out to the official college of our state.

(It has tigers all up in it's hizzle.)

So I've officially been to about four college campuses now.

At least now I can put this dizzle all up in my resume's hizzle.

OMG NHD CLOTHES.

2009-02-27T20:54:00.002-06:00

So I got totally registered tonight, and I have to be there at around eight till four.

Which will be FUN. As you know. D;

But the only redeeming thing is that I totally got a new outfit.

ARE THE SHOES NOT THE CUTEST THING YOU'VE EVER SEEN? :D

They have polka-dots. Although you can't really see it. And I can wear them to school too, so that's a bonus.

So it's all set up, and it's really big compared to everyone else's.

If I make it to state, I'll cry. I don't want to deal with it anymore.

But I'll get to wear cute clothes again if I do. :D

So now all that's left to decide is whether or not to listen to some Beyonce before. I don't want to be TOO hyped up, and talk too fast. I think I'll listen to something more relaxing. Or sad.

UGH. TOO MANY CHOICES.

Knit-Wit.

2009-02-26T23:03:00.005-06:00

From this:

To this:
Thank you to Beyonce for making this possible.

It's very relaxing.

And I know it's holey. I'll have a bunch of touch-ups at the end.

But I'ma tired. D;

Yeaaahhhh.

2009-02-25T22:56:00.003-06:00

This past week has sucked butt. Major butt.

I don't know if it's the amount of projects, or difficulty of projects, or what.

But every little thing has gone wrong, and everyone is finding reasons to hate everyone else.

Which is obviously not fun.

And my parents have been working till at least from five to seven each, so they come home crabby too. Which doesn't help either.

But I will NOT complain. :D

And here is five random facts as of now:

http://atelophobiaislooming.deviantart.com/journal/23407564/#comments

Because I was bored and can't sleep.

I'm starting to think I'm becoming a self-induced insomniac.

And doya like the new header? It's my INITIALS, man!

Not exciting, I know.

I knit whenever I get extremely stressed/irritated/depressed/etc.

And that's why two extra scarves are around my house now.

They take me forever to make though. I should start on next winter's.

The finished product.

2009-02-22T20:45:00.002-06:00

Cause I sure as heck ain't doin no mo.

P.S. It says legacies, not legacie.

P.P.S. The quality is so bad because blogger is a hole of the butt variety.

Progress.

2009-02-22T17:17:00.001-06:00

I has none.

Oops.

2009-02-22T16:57:00.001-06:00

Forgot to post this when I made it.

...

2009-02-17T21:59:00.001-06:00

http://thisiswhyyourefat.com/

Uh, no.

That is why I'm STARVING now. Thanks, internet.

Ten things about today.

2009-02-16T20:46:00.002-06:00

THREE BONUS FACTS:

(OMG UR SO, LYK LUCKY.)

-I completely forgot about a babysitting job, and ticked off an armed cop.

-The tea that I drank with Remi came full force today. It was very, VERY painful.

-I cleared 20 gigabytes of crap out of my laptop, and now that 20 is now 10 today. Great.

Yeah, yeah.

2009-02-14T12:42:00.005-06:00

Here are the pictures you guys so DESPERATLY want to see. ;D

BEDTIME:

http://dailybooth.com/drewrydays

(A new type of 365. But I'm not posting it twice. It's there.)

MORNING:

It took awhile to boot the computer up, but that was my best representation.

GETTING READY:

I'm pretty much doing nothing today, since Madysen's sick for the babysitting thing. But here's me WITHOUT my glasses:

OMG. BLANKIE FTW.

And WITH my glasses:

Yeah. I'm going back to bed now. My legs haven't gotten much better. D;

ENDLESS SHEEPIES.

2009-02-13T23:54:00.000-06:00

OMG.

Obviously, I was way productive today. I'm going back to sleep now.

Da dum. Da dum.

2009-02-11T18:15:00.003-06:00

And yes, church ended up being fun.

This ended up taking about three hours to upload.

DONNEE.

2009-02-10T22:50:00.003-06:00

Yeah, you're probably here for my morning photos.

I'M SORRY. GET OVER IT.

I'm putting it off again. Just no, just no.

It's eleven. And I JUST finished NHD. I still need a shower. And stuff.

I have no idea how we're going to get it into school tomorrow. I'll try to take a picture in the morning of the finished project. To make up a little. ;D

BUT, the work is far from over. We have to revise our papers, and the board. 'Tis ugly. By the time competition rolls around, hopefully I'll be able to make some improvements.

But now. BED. SWEET JESUS BED.

This project has reduced my sleeping, eating, and social schedules UP MAN. I HATE IT.

And it will only get worse as we get older.

HOLY SHEEP.

2009-02-08T22:49:00.002-06:00

IF YOU READ ONE BLOG POST IN YOUR LIFE OTHER THAN THIS ONE, THIS SHOULD BE IT:

http://memememolly.blogspot.com/2009/01/january-21st-2009.html

HOLY SHEEP I LOVE YOU MEMEMOLLY.

And I have a LOT planned for 365s and such after NHD. And I will blog more. DON'T YOU MISS ME?

And yeah. Morning pictures thing will have to wait till tomorrow's morning and night. Because I'm already in bed and forgot the camera. And I will NOT get up, thank you.

BOREDOM MADE ME DO IT. Also procrastination.

______________

Thanks to Katrina for telling me where to find these things. 8DDDDDDDd

And Remi, THE CHALLENGE IS ON.

The challenge is to take a picture right before bed, right when you wake up, and right before you go to school.

Hers is here:

http://remifosho.blogspot.com/

Oh god. I'm not sure if I'll even want to see these myself. XD

These are long overdue.

2009-02-05T22:40:00.002-06:00

Stolen from like, everyone who's done this. I'm pretty sure Remi started it though.

THIS YEAR:

-Accomplish my spending goals. If this means giving up on track, so be it. It's not worth anything this year anyways. (Goals= Flip mino HD (HOPEFULLY FOR SPANISH VIDEO), and some starting strobes. Because I'd love to try that out.)

-Find time to enjoy myself. I've started to find that this week, I need to continue. Getting buckled down by school emotionally and socially is not working out.

-GET THROUGH THIS MONTH ALIVE. Easier said than done. THREE major projects over the span of two weeks. Yeah, I'm going to be dissapearing for awhile.

-Improving on the piano. Haven't found the time to practice like I need to.

-Run more. Self explanatory, especially if I drop track.

-Spend more time with friends/Talk to family more. But I still refuse to tell my family everything that I do every second of the day. First, I find that stupid. Second, they would not have the time to listen. LOL.

-Secretely release a musical CD on Jamendo sometime this year. That means actually creating one. But I will tell none of you were it is. Srz. It's a personal thing. ;D

-FIND TIME FOR HOBBIES. Reading is the most relaxing thing I can do lately. And I MISS THREE SIXTY FIVES MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THE WORLD.

Y____Y

Those made me feel more secure, recording everything for future reference.. Plus they were way fun and helped me put myself into perspective a little better. Those are the things I want to work on first. They MUST come back.

-Sleep. I really, really, want to improve, but until this workload decreases, it's not happening. But it should be something I work on this year. What's ironic is that in the summer, I'm usually worse than this. SLEEP, SELF.

____

It's eleven now, so I'm going to bed. After a worksheet, and a few chapters. And then printing these pictures and a bibliography.

Geez.

2009-02-04T20:29:00.004-06:00

I KNOW how absent I've been.

And I'm trying to get back in the groove. Believe me, I miss it so much. There just aren't enough hours in the day.

But basically, these next few weeks are going to be a pure devil's home for me.

NHD is due NEXT WEDNESDAY.

What do I have done? The background is colored white. And I have the title: "Friz Fre eng"

The L got screwed.

But that's it. I have all of the text, etc., etc. planned out, but I just CANNOT fathom how I will ever get done before then. Honestly.

And today I had my first stress attack, I think. It wasn't a full-fledged seizure type of thing, but my chest and throat got real tight.

I NEVER stress out. So that was major for me.

I've never cried this much over a class project.

My teacher is expecting too much, in my opinion. She showed us examples, and there's NO FREAKING WAY mine will ever look that good. It already looks like crap.

And it weighs freaking 80 pounds. I'm freaking serious. It's going to be horrible trying to get it to school and back.

Plus the Spanish thing. Which I simply cannot fathom how that will get done either.

So if you get snappy responses/hateful IM statuses/totally attacked by me before March 1st rolls around, that's why.

Because that's when the movie is due, and the final NHD is.

___

But seriously. I haven't cried, or stressed out over a project this much.

My dad had to tell me to stop working on it. He said I'm doing my best, but my best doesn't seem to be good enough anymore.

It's just hopeless.

But I was kind of hoping to try and actually win, to make it worth my while. But I'm guessing it doesn't get past regionals.

It's just hopeless.

This project has taken over my LIFE. I have no time to do ANY of the things I enjoy. All I did today was run a mile, then work on it. That's it.

And what did I get done in the four hours of working? "Friz Fre eng"

It's just hopeless.

Wow. Just wow.

The best YouTube ad I have ever seen.

EVER.

WOAHZ.

2009-01-29T21:08:00.002-06:00

STOLEN FROM KATRINA. 8DDD

And holy crap. 100? Geez. This'll take awhile. Where do you FIND these things? XDD

And pot being good for you? Wow. Just wow.

______

1
WHAT DOES UR LAST I.M SAY
"Me: MADYSEN, LYK OMG. WHY HAVEN'T YOU TAKEN MY FRIEND QUIZ YET???? YOU DON'T LOOOVE MEE."

2
WHAT DID YOU RESPOND
Uhm. That was me, you idiot.

3
ARE YOU DEPRESSED
It's not that time of the month. Come back in about ten days.

4
EVER CONSIDERED SUICIDE
Yeah. What hormonal teenager hasn't? XDD Nothing that I intended to act on though.

5
YOU SURE
Why would I take the time to type that out, if it wasn't correct?

6
IF YOU COULD GO ANYWHERE IN THE FUTURE WHERE WOULD YOU GO
This is confusing.

Place: Europe. Travel abroad. Go to South America, converse in Spanish with youngins.

Time: Uhm. I like my age. I don't really want to grow up RIGHT THIS SECOND. My life is pretty easy now. But driving would be A HUGE PLUS.

7
DO YOU HAVE ANY OF YOUR ENEMIES PHONE NUMBERS
About four of them.
(They're more like frenemies though. I do what I can to survive socially at school.)

8
IF SO HOW MANY
Are you freaking stupid? I already told you.

9
WOULD YOU POST IT ON THIS SURVEY
I'm naming you Shanequa, quiz.

NO YOU FREAKING IDIOT SHANEQUA.

10
WHAT SHOULD YOU GET STARTED ON
LOOOOOTS of NHD homework. Being in advanced classes is such a drag.

11
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR
TRUE LOVE. (Bubbles and hearts float out.)

Uhm. No.

I guess maybe... OH I know. A copy of "Surrender" on Bookmooch, which it isn't there. Also, some more information on psychology. I'm getting really into it. It's just. so. INTERESTING. *_____*

SIGMUND FREUD IS THE SEXX. *_______________________________*

http://www.cla.purdue.edu/academic/engl/theory/psychoanalysis/freud.html

That's a mini clippy thingy from Purdue University.

(Look on the left sidebar for more of his research. Psychosexual development is interesting, but I like his stuff on dreams and the unconcious more.)

12
ARE YOU ORGANIZED
Used to be WAY OCD. Not really anymore.

13
WERE YOU ALWAYS THIS UGLY
Shanequa, you deserve a punch in the balls.

That's right, I just made you a man. Deal.

14
DID YOU EVER HIT SOMEONE FOR LOOKING AT YOU THE WRONG WAY
As in, like, suggestively looking at me? If so, ask again when I'm an old lady. I might have some stories for you.

15
DO YOU LIKE RED LIP STICK
Yeah, but toned down. Like, not like BAAAM. Regina Spektor looks good in it though. 8D

16
ARE YOU TALKING TO ANY OF YOUR BEST FRIENDS
Nope.

17
WHAT IS HE/SHE SAYING
Shanequa the transvestite, you are an idiot.

18
DOES NUMBER 5 GO TO SCHOOL WITH YOU
No. My lucky number is FOUR SHANEQUA. I thought you loved me.

19
WHY DID YOU YELL AT THAT INNOCENT LITTLE GIRL
She shoved her fist up my butt. She is NOT innocent, and I bet you would've liked it.

20
DO YOU LIKE BUSH
In a sense. Don't get me started on a HUGE rant about Bush haters. Bush haters? I hate them.

21
WHY
GODD@!#$IT SHANEQUA.

HE GOT ELECTED TWICE. He must've done SOMETHING RIGHT SOME OF THE TIME.

What if you made decisions every single day? What if you were under major stress?

What if only the FIVE PERCENT of your decisions were bad, but that's WHAT YOU GOT BLAMED FOR?

Give him an f-ing break. He's human. I doubt you'd like the treatment that he got.

And this does NOT mean that I support him politically. I'm just stating my view on the Bush haters.

ARE YOU A HUMAN? DO YOU MAKE MISTAKES?

PRESIDENTS ARE NOT SUPERHEROES. I'M SORRY YOU'VE BEEN LED TO BELIEVE THAT.

22
THE MOST HILARIOUS THING THAT YOUR NUMBER 8 SAID TO YOU
7 8 9. Seven ate nine.

Although it was not funny. At all.

23
WHAT'S SPECIAL ABOUT YOU
You got me mad. About the rant with Bush Haters. So I have no comment for this one right now.

24
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO
SUMMMER. And learning the stuff that I want to learn, not what the teachers do.

25
WHAT BODY PARTS ARE MOVING
My eyes, hands, fingers.

26
HAVE YOU EVER LIKED ANYONE WITH A BF/GF
Uh duh.

27
MOST MEMORABLE DREAM
I had one when I was like eight, where I was a wolf, and my wolf colony was starving. For some reason, we all lived in the sewers. Our colony was starving, and I went in search of food. I found a wooden pole with holes in it holding suckers (the kind you see at stores). This other wolf named Audrie (from my school at the time) was there too. We fought over who would bring it back to the colony. She ripped my paw off, and brought them back. She was a hero, and I was shunned. My paw never grew back, either.

It was memorable, because it made me SO mad. I think it was a thing with how teachers often talk to and encourage class clowns more, instead of the independent studious types. Hence, I was shunned. And got my paw ripped off (what the teachers don't see).

28
HAS ANYONE OF THE SAME GENDER BEEN ATTRACTED TO YOU
Uh. MAYYYBEEE. ;D

29
FAVORITE MOVIE
Lion King, The Shining, Moving McCallister. Or any other chick flick. But Moving McCallister impacted me. Which was kind of weird, you would know what I meant if you've seen it, but it did.

30
WHAT TIME IS IT
9:27

31
4 WORDS THAT DESCRIBE THE LAST TIME YOU THREW UP
Grey puke in sink.

(Accidentally gagged myself while brushing my teeth. THAT is my life. And I didn't even get out of school. D;)

32
DO YOU HAVE ANY OF YOUR ENEMIES NUMBER'S
You are incredibly dimwitted, Shanequa.

I pity your offspring. If you even know how to do THAT.

33
ARE YOU A BOSSY BITCH
Sooomeetimmess.

34
ARE ATLEAST 5 OF YOUR FRIENDS HOT
YUP. 8DDDD

And BTW, I don't really have five friends. Soooo, yeah. :/

35
DO YOU THINK PLANTS HAVE FEELINGS
SAVE THE TREES OMGGGG THEY CAN FEEL THEMSELVES BUUUURNNN. DON'T CUT THE FOREST!!11SHIFT!

Uh no.

36
TRUE OR FALSE:YOU WOULD EAT A SQUIREL FOR $100000
Yes. Raw or cooked.

You know how many lenses and polaroid film that would buy? *_____________*

37
ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT SOMEONE
Yeah. About how I'd like to shoot you in the balls.

38
WHAT IS A SPECIAL DAY TO YOU
Carnivals. County fairs. I dunno, that would just be my favorite places, I guess. XD

39
HAVE YOU LIED IN THIS SURVEY
No. o____0

40
WHAT DOES YOUR SCREEN NAME MEAN
Uhm.

Luvreading7: I was 7 when I created that account, and yeah. I was a nerd back then, too.

Unicornrides: I like unicorns?

Obamalicker: No comment.

41
FIRST THOUGHT WHEN YOU WOKE UP THIS MORNING
"I'M SO TIRED. I HATE SCHOOL. TURN THE D!*#* LIGHT OFF."

That's three, actually.

42
DO YOU WATCH THE NEWS
Every morning. Today I learned about how hackers hacked the street signs displaying messages, and changed it to "ZOMBIES AHEAD. APOCOLYPSE IS NEAR."

If I were a hacker, THAT is what I would do. Hilarious.

43
MOST RECENT NIGHTMARE
Shanequa, you should KNOW that I cannot remember dreams.

But I F-ING WISH I DID.

You have NO idea how much I want to dream. NO IDEA.

That's partly why Freud is so interesting. In some of his theories, he says your subconcious tells you things in your dreams (duh), and that if you don't remember it, it's that you can't come to terms with it.

So obviously I'm keeping a LOT of things from myself, or don't want anything brought up. The last dream that I fully remember having was probably that wolf one. When I was in like, the third grade.

44
HAVE YOUR PARENTS EVER THREATENED TO DISOWN YOU
No, but I've threatened them with a call to social services. It didn't work, obviously.

45
CAN ANYTHING MAKE YOU PASS OUT
Define anything.

46
HAVE YOU EVER WRITTEN A LOVE LETTER
What's it to ya?

And define love letter. I GUESS so, but it's a matter of opinion.

47
WHAT IS THE LAST THING YOU YELLED UN-NECESSARILY
Uhm. I was singing pretty loudly a minute ago. Which wasn't REALLY necessary, I guess.

48
BREATH IN DEEPLY...WHAT DO YOU SMELL
Mustiness and warmth. I'm on the top bunk. Plus my blankie. I've had it since birth, and it's acquired it's own little funk.

49
DO YOU LIKE CHAIN LETTERS

MY HATRED FOR THOSE BURNS IN MY SOUL LIKE THE ETERNAL FLAMES OF HELL.

IF YOU SEND ME ONE OF THOSE, PREPARE TO BECOME AN ENEMY.

50
WHAT WOULD ONE OF YOUR ENEMIES BE SAYING ABOUT YOU
That I'm ugly, I guess. I mean, that's a common insult, I guess. That's probably what I'd be saying about them.

51
DO YOU THINK YOUR LIFE SHOULD BE DIFFERENT
Sometimes. But in a way where I WANT to change it. As in, get to sleep earlier.

That never works, obviously.

52
DO YOU THINK YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO CHEW GUM IN CLASS
I can? o_0

53
CAN YOU UNWRAP STARBURSTS WITH YOUR TONGUE AND TEETH
Shanequa, how did you even come UP with that?

54
HAS AN OLD PERSON EVER HIT YOU
Uhmm. Define old. And I don't think so.

55
WHY IS YOUR FAVORITE COLOR RED
Because it's awesome? And I like green, too.

56
QUE TU NOMBRE

ME LLAMO JESSE. TU MAMA ES FEA. GRACIAS.

(The question was what's your name. ;D)

(I said: My name is Jesse. Your mother is ugly. Thank you.)

57
ARE YOU ATTRACTED TO THE JEALOUS TYPE OF GUY
I don't even KNOW how to judge whether or not someone is "LYK, OMG JEALOUZZZ GAIII."

58
WHAT ABOUT THE BRAGGERS
DIE. NOW.

59
FUNNIEST PRANK CALL
This video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLXvqSs7khU

Found that through Katrina too. XDD

And it's hilarious. 8D

60
ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK
Not really, after Dialogue in the Dark.

It really changed my view of it. o___0

61
DON'CHA WANNA FANTA
NO. And if you talk like that again, Shanequa, I will chop your balls off.

62
DO YOU KNOW THE MUFFIN MAN
He lives on DREWRY lane. So obviously.

63
DO YOU TALK IN YOUR SLEEP
Never asked. I kick in my sleep though. Hard.

My mom thinks one of her kidneys died a long time ago when I was like, two, sleeping with her in her bed.

64
WHATS THE WIERDEST THING YOU SAID IN YOUR SLEEP
You imbecile.

65
EVER WANTED A PONY
I still do. Sigh.

66
CAN YOU COUNT TO 100
NOOOO.

67
DO YOU LIKE THE SIGHT OF A FAT PERSON IN A BIKINI
I bet you do, Shanequa.

68
SKIRT OR JEANS
DEPENDS.

69
DESCRIBE IN 5 WORDS YOUR LAST NEW YEARS
Bowling, stupid-crying, pedophile, old-people, Shanequa.

Srz. Your name was in there, man. And I hyphenated words so that I could lie and say it counted as one. 8D

70
WOULD YOU DATE SOMEONE MORE THAN 5 YEARS OLDER THAN YOU
Probably not. Just saying.

People say the whole love is blind thing, but I think anyone THAT much older than me would be just. Crusty. Too old. But that's just MY opinion. XD

71
DO YOU WATCH THE EX EFFECT
What the crap is that?

72
WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW
ALMOST LOVER BY A FINE FRENZY.

Go watch that on youtube. RIGHT THIS SECOND.

It makes me play a music video in my head. Once I buy a cheap camcorder, guess what's getting made.

73
ARE ANY OF YOUR FRIENDS HOES
ALL OF EM. 8DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

74
MOOD:
Pretty much over the madness at Bush haters. Just okay. Pretty warm, content.

75
HAS ANYONE EVER BEEN LIKE ALL UP IN YOUR FACE TO THE POINT THAT YOU HAD TO THROW OFF YOUR EARRINGS
Why would I have to throw them off...?

76
WHAT COLOR IS THE LAST PEN YOU USED
Red.

77
WHAT WAS THE LAST QUIZ YOU TOOK
Math.

78
WHAT WUS YOUR RESULT
God, buy a dictionary, Shanequa.

And I dunno. Not handed back yet.

79
DO YOU LIKE EGGS
They're okay.

80
WHAT ABOUT APPLE JUICE
Yup. As long as it's not TOO sour.

81
WHATS THE CLOSEST BLACK OJBECT
Webcam.

82
DO YOU LOVE ME
No. I hate you, Shanequa.

83
THE LAST PERSON YOU CURSED OUT ON AIM
AIM sucks Shanequa balls.

Curled up under the covers, with my laptop on my chest.

HAS A TEACHER EVER GIVEN YOU A DIRTY LOOK
Ohohohoho. YES.

Surprisingly, a LOT.

___________

I thought it was gonna be 100. Dang Shanequa. D8888

ALSOOOO:

Mala Rodriguez - Nanai

(The latest of my Spanish music obsessions. Found in Spanish class, actually.

THE BEAT IS AMAZAN. 8D)

AND OMFG WATCH THIS SNUGGIE PARODY:

The WTF Blanket (Snuggie Parody)

THAT is pure humor.

Vlog tomorrow. Sorry. I slack. D;

...

2009-01-27T22:35:00.003-06:00

Dang blogger.

I had a 15 minute video, and even after letting it sit for two hours, it won't upload.

I'll try again tomorrow.

The ONE reason.

2009-01-25T00:47:00.002-06:00

Why I love the results of this semi-shoot.

(Spot the butt-picker.)

Harumph.

2009-01-21T22:46:00.001-06:00

Remember that time when I stayed up till an hour to midnight watching the ingenious Jake and Amir show?

It's consuming my life.

The INCOMPLETE playlist:

http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=CC988EF2079BB082

Probably the best one (this is so not true, just WATCH THEM ALL.):

Jake and Amir: Cousin

Oh, hi.

2009-01-17T02:33:00.001-06:00

You know, you're kinda like that ex-girlfriend that still wants to be friends, even though we broke up horribly.

So you just follow me around, trying to get me to talk to you.

Well, what if I don't WANT to talk? Hm? I have better things to do.

Uh, yeah. Not really.

But ANYWAYS. It's really late as I type this. Jacklyn had a sleepover with Claire, so I watched a movie with my parents, and stayed up late. Obviously.

So I'm tired. And feel like crap.

My sinuses are clogged, and my head feels like a hundred pounds.

And my mom's stationary bike broke, so we MIGHT be getting a treadmill.

Dear lord, I hope so. I really could use one. Especially with this horribly cold weather.

I'm crossing my fingers. We're tight on money, but I hope we splurge.

Didn't do anything with those three videos. It'll take me a bit. I have a LIFE, people.

Okay, I take that back.

But anyways, I'll get to them hopefully soon.

I'm hoping tomorrow frees up my photography slump a bit.

Anyone have any creative ideas? I only have two. Eh heh. And I'm pretty sure we can't do one of them tomorrow, since it involves my bathtub.

You'll see. But I swear, it'll look good.

I'm all emotional now. That movie had a bunch of crying in it.

I HATE seeing people cry. Makes me want to. Especially when a dude is, because you're totally embarrassed for the actor. Like, he must care about his job A LOT. To CRY while being FILMED.

I would never cry for a live action film. A picture, probably. On film, nuh uhhhh.

I'm so tired. It feels like my eyeballs are slowly sliding out of their sockets, and are going to splat onto my hands.

Hey, crazier things have happened.

Like that plane crash on the Hudson.

Geez, when that happened, Twitter was going crazy. And I read a lot of dead bird jokes.

I would feel bad, but nobody died. So I can laugh at them. :D

I'm going to bed now.

Urgh.

2009-01-15T22:15:00.001-06:00

Short posts abound.

Had a three hour babysitting job till nine.

Three boys, all of them not completely potty trained.

I got twenty five bucks, which I decided was a fair amount.

I'm going to be doing some more babysitting for them in the later months, so I'll take it.

But dear lord, PLEASE, oh PLEASE. Do NOT host track on Mondays. Or occasionally Thursdays. Those are the TWO DAYS that I am babysitting for them.

Oh dear god. Please.

I promise to stop kidnapping and murdering dog walkers. I'll stop stealing cartons of ice cream from Quick Trip. I'll stop stealing books from the LIBRARY. I'LL PAY THE FINES. Just PLEASE. Let track fall on TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, or FRIDAY.

I recorded all three videos for books today, and I hated every single one. I just wasn't feeling it today. Maybe I can edit them eventually, or just rerecord the whole things. Whatever.

By the time I get finished, I'll have two MORE videos to work on. Whatever.

I'm excited for this body flush thing I'm doing.

On Saturday, I'm drinking a poop tea in the morning, and (hopefully) getting all that stuff out early.

Then, I don't eat anything for the rest of the day. Nada. Zilch.

What I'll be doing is drinking an inhumane amount of water.

You don't feel hungry when you drink enough, and I like water, so hah.

The whole idea is to lessen your taste for sugar, and give your kidneys a freaking break.

(They're not having to filter anything for a whole day, since it's just pure water.)

I totally lost the page with the article about it, but I just explained everything. So I'll be alright without it.

I just think my body needs a fresh start. A break.

And a fun day with friends. ;D

FYI.

2009-01-14T20:34:00.000-06:00

FYI: Remi, I WILL get your awesome present to you. Hopefully Saturday.

FYI: Madysen, I WILL buy your CD. One of these days.

FYI: I finished both books, so now I'm behind on THREE videos. But believe me, they'll be good. At least the first one. That's the only one I have an idea for.

FYI: Remi, you WILL get The Shining back eventually. That's my next book to knock out. Probably. Hopefully. Maybe.

FYI: I have to poo. Like, EXPLODING bad.

FYI: I just ate a WHOLE bag of caramel Hershey's Kisses.

FYI: I REALLY need that Saturday detox.

FYI: We WILL do an 80's shoot. I don't give a crap about Doe's contest.

FYI: I'm leaving to take a SHOWER now.

FYI: I got a ride figured out for track. So I'm ECSTATIC.

FYI: I can't think of any more FYIs. I'm leaving now.

www.theniftyfifty.blogspot.com

There, that's the project that I'm so excited for that you're probably disappointed about what it was now that I actually told you.

ANYWAYS. I am too tired to even be typing this.

Translation of the end (loosely):

I HATE chipmunk videos, but WHATEVER. I can do what I want, and don't have to hear about it from you guys.

(Random shuffling, chai tea making).

Wow.

2009-01-10T21:22:00.000-06:00

It's not everyday that Jacklyn completely and irrevocably leaves me speechless.

So we're watching Mr. and Mrs. Smith, which is one of my favorite movies ever, and it is well.... uhm, educational.

Anyways, during the scene where Angelina Jolie goes into the empty house with a bunch of guns, searching for Brad Pitt, Jacklyn yells something that completely and irrvocably leaves me speechless.

She yells "I'M IN UR HOUSE. SHOOTIN UR PPLZ."

Jacklyn, I am proud of you.

NEW PROJECT.

2009-01-10T01:43:00.001-06:00

Hopefully it will all be posted and ready to go tomorrow.

It's another pet project of mine that will be totally family friendly. ;D

It's not a collab. But it COULD be. ;DDDDDD

HINT: Has to do with some of my new year's resolutions.

Although you might not get it, since I have a bunch of those. XD

Other hint:

It may or may not have to do with those. And the number fifty.

Mmmhmmm.

Like I said. It COULD be a collab. ;D

I'm so freaking tired. It's not even funny. Night now. After I finish this chapter.

Fashionably Late.

2009-01-09T23:37:00.001-06:00

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH KATRINAAAA.

Notice the Blogger top bar is gone. It's lovely. Thank you. 8D

I promise I'll revamp the layout eventually. I have other things to do, y'know.

Well, not really.

ANYWAYS, I wasn't in the best of moods around the new year, and didn't officially do a survey thingy. Which means you have OFFICIALLY moved on. So I will move on.

I found this quiz on this WONDERFUL fiction/book/author blog:
http://jemacleod123.blogspot.com/

But, as she says, it's been floating about cyberspace. She didn't create it. But I love her anyways. 8D

1. What would you like to have in 2009 that you lacked in 2008?

LOTS more reading. Hardcore reading. Fo shiz. More piano playing. Thirty minutes a day please? Now that I can actually play frustrating songs, I get a LOT more energy and frustration out. Believe me. It helps.

2. What date from 2008 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?

Uhm. Nothing NEW. My birthday, I guess? It wasn't that memorable though. Well, I guess it was. With Jacklyn crying because we wouldn't let her sleep in a tent and all. Wait.

Was that THIS year?

I totally don't remember.

3. What was your biggest achievement of the year?

Obviously, purchasing Ronald and the web cam. And half of an iTouch. I like to think that I can actually save money well. Not for anything worthwhile, mind you, but I can. And YES. All of these items are worth my while. All the time.

4. What was your biggest failure?

Being so introverted at school. Although I absolutely can't imagine it any other way. Honestly. Not reading, not practicing. Not appreciating myself. Believe me, I could go on.

5. What was the best thing you bought?

Already mentioned this in the achievements. Dang quiz, READ. Are you even LISTENING TO ME?

6. Whose behavior merited celebration?

All of my friends. For putting up with me. Same with parents, who work basically from six till eight. And still put up with me.

7. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?

Oh geez. Nobody in particualar. Well, someone who's name starts with an R. But I won't name names. And it's not you, Remi. XD

8. Where did most of your money go?

Into the item fund. Which is now completely empty, I'm afraid.

9. What song will always remind you of 2008?

Oh geez. I don't remember songs with dates.

Uhm. Iron and Wine? Regina Spektor? The Killers?

Dunno. Probably the Killers. But I wouldn't think of the YEAR, just the time I got fangirly.

10. Compared to this time last year, are you...
i. happier or sadder? No idea. Probably happier. I need to keep a journal for this crap.
ii. thinner or fatter? I've actually lost a few pounds. From Christmas break, when I felt like crap and had one meal a day.
iii.
richer or poorer? Richer in objects, poorer in money. Dang.

11. What do you wish you'd done more of?

Read, practiced, more photoshoots. Quiz, you are getting repetitive.

12. What do you wish you'd done less of?

Procrastinated. Although I'm sure that won't really change. Ever.

13. What was your favorite TV program?

I didn't really watch TV. But my obsession with Martin Seargent and Diggnation (Rev3 podcasts) was there.

14. What was the best book you read?

Uhm. I don't do that kind of question. No comment.

15. What was your favorite film of this year?

I DON'T REMEMBER.

QUIZ, I don't like you. Just saying.

But, it was Moving McCallister, now that I remember it. Anything that made my insides feel like pudding. Very warm pudding.

16. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?

WE'VE ALREADY ADDRESSED THIS, QUIZ.

I DON'T REMEMBER. STOP MAKING FUN OF ME.

And age? Uhm. It might be greater than twelve, and less than fourteen. Just saying.

17. What kept you sane?

Music. Blogs. Friends. The usual.

18. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?

Fancy, as in like? Not sure if I want to admit this publicly, but I had a bit of a crush on Ben Gourley for a bit. In the nerd attire. Maybe that's why I like the movie so much.

19. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2008:

Don't procrastinate. But I do it anyways. Does that mean I didn't learn?

Chick flicks and chocolate are your best friends. And they are. So I DID learn.

20. Word you said often enough that it should have been your catchphrase:
Shut up or be quiet?

I like that one. It confuses people when you say it. 8DD

SHUT UP OR BE QUIET.

I love it. XD

Forgot to post this earlier, Remi gets a shout-out with the flava flav thingy.

Also, IGNORE THE LOUD COMPUTER.

The microphone is sensitive. Just pretend it's the sound of millions of children cheering because it's Friday tomorrow. But listen to me, not the children. ;D

And FYI: I didn't sleep. At all. That is my life.

That tickle scene makes me pee. This is what happens when boredness does.
