But this isn't a rant. I am now the only cross trained 2nd shift tech who can work all areas of hematology AND chemistry. Heh heh! It's like McDonald's, I'm lovin it. I graduate in less than a month. (then the dreaded registry, but we won't talk about that) God has a plan and He is good all the time. Yep, it's all good. Except for deviating. I've done NO art, none, nada, I feel like a traitor. But there are other things in store, so I'll get that done first.

Enough from me.

Goodnight loves!

Over the past few days, I've started my last clinical rotation for my Medical Technology degree. That rotation is in Blood Bank. I was a little wary about it at first, but the more I do it, the more I like it. And it's a good thing too because I think there's only two jobs open and there are two of us students. One being in Hematology (I love the people there, hate the job) and the other in the Blood Bank. The more I think about it, the more I like it. It's just a little scary to think that you might be the cause of a death due to a hemolytic transfusion reaction! But God will work it out!

Just wanted to share a bit of my life again.

Goodnight, Loves!

I'm not sure how to give a web address without hyperlinking it here. Maybe this will work --> TheCrochetCutiesYarnWorks . blogspot . com (With no spaces)

Of course I will post my works here before posting them to my new blog. Partially because dA is more user friendly to me and mostly because I like most of you people better. But if you want the pattern you'll have to go to the blog so I'm not infiltrating dA with more unwanted material that what is already submitted. If, however, I do have a pattern, I'll link to it in the comments so you can easily go from picture to pattern. If any of you have any questions or suggestions for the blog or my dA crochet or if you have a request for a pattern for anything or any stitch, just let me know via note or whatever other means you can find of getting to me. Thanks for all the support!

But on to my idea...

I've been doing a lot of crocheting lately due to a trip to the mountains that my husband and I are going on in November. I've made a hat from a pattern I found and I've made one mitten from a pattern that I made up. When I've finished the second I'll post pics. And I'm making a scarf that is the bane of my existence right now. I decided to afghan crochet the scarf so I can cross stitch my monogram on it and I'm starting to think it's a bad idea. But enough of that.

My idea is to start my own crochet blog with pictures and free patterns (when I can figure my homemade patterns out). I started my wedding blog, but due to more pressing (and interesting) things, I only blogged once. Of course, my patterns and pics would be open to all my dA friends as well. So if y'all wanted you could go to the blog, but you wouldn't have to.

The reason I'm thinking about doing this is because I've been endlessly searching Crochet Pattern Central's Free Pattern Directory. There are a lot of really nice people who share their patterns there via their blogs. Artisans really are the nicest people in the world. Anyway, I figured I could share my yarn sculpting abilities with the world. So, tell me what you think, and I'll go from there.

PS: Here's the website for Crochet Pattern Central's Pattern Directory --> [link] If you want to get to the home page, just click on the title at the top of the website.

It really takes a lot of work! But I'm enjoying it and I hope I'll be back soon. In the meantime, you can look at my pictures online. The photographer is one of my friends from school who saved my life by doing my pictures.

So instead of finishing my study questions and a presentation that's due tomorrow, I'm worrying about what I'm going to do in three months. And now I'm up past bedtime. And now I'm just sick of it all.

1 . YOUR REAL NAME:

- Evan Patterson

2 . YOUR GANGSTA NAME: (first 3 letters of real name plus izzle)

- Evizzle (so it's not the first 3 letters, but I sound like a soft drink)

3 . YOUR DETECTIVE NAME: (fav color and fav animal)

- Red Cat

4. YOUR STAR WARS NAME: (the first 3 letters of your last name, first 2 letters of your first)

-Patev

5. YOUR SUPERHERO NAME: (Your 2nd favorite color, and favorite drink)

- Orange Pepsi (That's just weird)

6. YOUR IRAQI NAME: (2nd letter of your first name, 3rd letter of your last name, first two letters of your middle name, last two letters of your first name then last three letters of your last name)

- Vtreanson (It sounds more Slavic to me, I don't think this was intended for people who's names start with vowels.)

7.YOUR WITNESS PROTECTION NAME: (both parents middle name)

-Lavada Malachi (That sounds like a punk rocker, or a sci fi character)

8. YOUR GOTH NAME: (black, and the name of one of your pets)

- Ok, these are too funny, I have to list them all
Black Pepper, Black Mack, Black Wylie, Black Chloe, Black Slut, Black Bob, Black Ace, Black Bo

And I did get tagged by

1. Post these rules.
2. Each person tagged must post 8 random (hopefully interesting) facts about themselves.
3. Tags should write a journal of these facts.
4. At the end of the post 8 more bloggers are tagged and named.

M'kay...

1 I'm quite short, only about 5 feet, but it comes in handy when measuring for curtains.

2 I'm getting married in June!

3 I'm scared to death of needles. I'm not really sure why, but when I had to have a ring cut off my finger, I was more scared of the tetanus shot than my swollen nearly torn off finger.

4 I have a love for nearly anything without a backbone

5 FAVOURITES--
My favourite animals cats, and gastropods, and cnidarians
Fave colour=Red Fave Song= O. Lover by Jason Mraz Fave Food= BBQ Chicken

6 I have a little brother who looks a lot like me

7 I still watch children's shows on public television

8 I'm terribly annoyed by American Idol (sorry if I offend anyone)

Ok, So I'm really not going to tag anybody specifically. If you see your icon down there, I tag you. If you think this could be fun, I tag you too.

So, I'm thinking of just clearing out my deviations messages. I have nearly 500, and there's no way I can look at all of them. So I may just do that so I don't have to look at that daunting number any more.

I've got to go to bed. But I've got to shower first. Just didn't want everyone to think that I'm a monomaniac about my cereal.

So, that's it.

Yesterday I got my cap and gown pictures made. I had to refrain from laughing though because the photographer looked like Brendan Fraser and I was singing "George of the Jungle" the whole time. But thanks to being a senior, almost everything in the bookstore was 50% off! So I got lots of cool stuff including an alumni sweatshirt. I also bought two dresses and a pair of shoes for $40US this weekend. The shoes look like stripper shoes. I'm quite pleased.

So I guess I better study for my evolution test, which is tomorrow. yeah. And despite what many people at my small Christian college believe, no, I'm not going to hell because I believe in evolution. I'm going to heaven because I believe that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world. So there.

Cheers and wishes of free time for everyone!

OK, so I shouldn't have done that. Yes it got me a few reads and a few favs and a new watcher, which is all good! But it also got me addicted to the story and even more so addicted to dA (like that could be possible) and equally unmotivated to do what I should have been doing in the first place. Oh...freaking...well. I'm happy that this story might go somewhere. *warm fuzzies * Well, it's off to BS some Brit Lit homework. Maybe. Dang the convergence of everything that makes me artistic when I don't need to be artistic

I have the plague. Not really the bubonic plague, just a bad cold that everyone around here seems to have. It's not fun, but at least I can breathe now. I also seem to have an abundance of things to do that does not involve deviantART, which is sad.

I need some help to stay sane. I need a new deviant ID. If anyone has any suggestions I'm open. I'm also still struggling with my art trade with ~t3nk0. I'm sorry, love. And last but I suppose not least, I have a new story brewing in my head. I actually think I might be able to write some of this one down since I'm going at a new angle. I want to write it kind of like a weekly TV series. Short and sweet little tidbits here and there that you can have a feeling of completeness at the end of it. As always, my "hero" is a guy, and I can't think of a good name for him. Either something short, or something that has a good nickname would be nice. I'm very open to suggestions here *hint hint*. So that's about it. Except that I present my senior thesis on the 28th of Febraury. Wish me luck there. I'm scared to death to be quite honest.

So best of luck to all of you. I'll see what I can brew up in the coming weeks.

Lots of love and cheers.

I'll figure something out. My favorite Biology professor had her baby. He was about a month early from what I understand, but my other favorite professor said that they are doing great and I'm in the process of making a baby blanket for her. Mercy! What do I get myself into?! Luckily, I only have 3 real classes this semester. That's a blessing. And I also have the freak voice in my choir. My director never knows where to put me at the beginning of a semester. She just puts everyone else where they should go and then she looks to see where we are short on people. So this semester, in a four part women's choir where, from highest part to lowest part goes from 1st soprano to 2nd soprano to 1st alto to 2nd alto, I sing 1st soprano half of the time and 1st alto the other half. I could sing 2nd alto, but I think she doesn't want me to feel like a freak. So I'll try to be a happy commenter and deviant and put some stuff up. But my rule is nothing new goes up until my art trade is finished. Maybe I'll get something figured out quicker that way.

That was really just a bunch of random junk. If you got all the way through it, kudos to you.

I hope it turns out as good as her end turned out. I'm also very busy with my cooking class. We spent five hours in the city yesterday at a Jamaican restaurant and the organic market. Today we made Chinese dumplings and oh my goodness were they good! I made a little bird out of one. As soon as my teammate e-mails me the photograph I'll post it. That's really all I have to say. I wanted everyone to know that I haven't disappeared and again ask for the prayers of those of you who pray.

But that's the sad part. The good part is that I'm back for a little while. I'm at school with uber fast internet, and I'm taking a Culinary Arts class. I had to buy all kinds of knives and stuff. My apron is quite possibly the most hideous thing I've ever seen, but it was only $1. What can I expect? I also need to have a hat or something, so I've tied a bandana around my head like a pirate. So I look like a pirate and I carry four knives in my bookbag. I'm a strange one. But I also have loads of time, the class is only about 2 hours long. And starts at 1 PM, so maybe, (trying not to emptily promise) I can deviate. I did one deviation over the break. But it wasn't for anyone I promised a deviation to, so I won't post it until their deviations are done. I'm also going to start working out. Maybe. But I'm having an awful amount of fun with friends and just enjoying myself while I can. So on that note, I will once again repost my to do list, updated of course and then see what happens from there. Especially since this journal is way too long. Ok, I'll think of more later.

First of all, I would like to thank ~incomplete-f for using a butterfly from "The Bugs" in a photomanipulation picture. She's got some pretty cool work so far. I normally don't really care whether or not people use my art. For one thing, it's not that great and I can't imagine why anyone would steal it. But it was nice to know that my art got used and then to see the result of it. I really appreciated it. (That was a shameless plug if no one caught it.)

This incident leads to my next thought. I have no trouble admitting I'm a pageview and comment whore. I like them. SOOO...if you would like to be so gracious as to use my art as stock or photomanip it or color it (since I can't color) or do whatever else to it, I would be so gracious as to "feature" (I put that in quotes because I'm not terribly popular around here I really don't know how much of a feature it would be) you in my journal. Icon and hyperlinked name and all. Ooooh, and I'll hyperlink the deviation that you used too. Yeah, that sounds good. So if you'll be a pageview whore, I'll be your John. Although I don't pay very well. I'll also leave you a few comments. It's the least I can do.

And now for something completely different. CHRISTMAS!!! In just seven school days I'll be done with this semester! (as *emmil told me, that's me dancing nekked) I'm really excited about this semester being over. It's been a tough one.

This leads me to my to do list for the next month or so.

1. Two Sociological Issues articles for Tuesday December 4, 6:00PM.
2. Three Cultural Events papers for Tuesday December 4, 6:00PM.
3. Hall Meeting tonight at 9:30PM.
4. Dorm Christmas party at 9:30PM Wednesday night.
5. Put together and label a collection of bird's nests and feathers for Thursday December 6.
6. Dress rehearsal for my choir's Christmas program Thursday night.
7. Two power point presentations on two different ecosystems for Friday December 7
8. Friday and Saturday performances of choir's Christmas program.
9. Study for a big honkin' History exam on Monday December 10, 1:30PM.
10. Study for all my other exams.
11. Trans-Siberian Orchestra Concert December 12!!!!

18. Assemble and address wedding invitations.
19. Work on wedding registry.
20. Relax!

Oh, look! Didn't that turn out nicely? There's 20 things on my list. So now in order to get all that stuff done, I should probably work on it. Yep. While I'm still a little nuts. That would be good, don't you think? Yes, it would.

Christmas Cheers!!!

Title and first line inspired by Maroon 5's "Wake Up Call"

***The following paragraph is a bit of a rant. You don't have to read it. Just continue to the next paragraph.***

I have come to the realization yet again, that my degree will be useless. I have nearly killed myself for 3.5 years to learn that I can't do anything with a biology degree that I couldn't do with a GED. GED is the equivalent of a high school diploma, except people with GEDs dropped out of high school and then went back later to finish. Not that I think terribly of people with GEDs, I actually think it's quite honorable that a person decides to go back and get the schooling that they need. I'm just dissappointed that I worked hard to graduate at the top of my high school class and get into a good college to only find that if I want a good job I have to go to more school. And as most of you know I DO NOT want to go to more school. Not now anyway. I just want to work. And not beside Joy from the TV series "My Name is Earl." I hope things are better than this in other countries. It's also stupid that when I graduate I will have approximately 37 hours of Biology classes. I will not be able to teach Biology in a public high school. However, Secondary Education majors will be qualified to teach biology in public high schools. They take only 4 hours of biology. Just one class, Introduction to Biology. It's easier that the Biology major's introduction classes. Stupid, I know, and people wonder why South Carolina's schools do so poorly. I couldn't imagine why that would be.

So that rant went a little longer than I anticipated. What I really wanted to comment on was how much I appreciate all of your comments. They really made me feel better. I know I can come here and post art and get some comments from some good friends and not worry about the "real world" so much. Dave just tries to tell me that God will work it all, and I know he will, it's just kind of hard to see that right now, and the comments give me more comfort right now. So here's to you all that continually give me comments, and encourage me. Here's to everyone that is so nice to me about artsy stuff. Here's to all my virtual friends who seem to understand my situation more than some of my real friends. Here's to you!


Lots of love everyone.

I didnt draw a lick, but that will change soon I hope. Well I did do some photomanipulation on a picture of a Hawaiian goose for my thesis, but that's no big deal. I don't know why I still update this thing. I guess it gives me a sense of accomplishment since I don't seem to want to do anything else. I guess I need to finish a lab that I haven't started. And one of my friends got engaged yesterday. Her man is a great guy. I just met him and I already think so. Yeah, he's good, I can tell.

Cheers Everyone.

I know y'all don't like reading about people when they're down in the dumps, but I kinda am right now. I think I'm just burnt out. I'm tired of school. I want to plan my wedding. And make chocolates. And crochet. And draw. And sleep. Yeah.

On a happier note. My invitations came in yesterday. They're absolutely lovely except for the RSVP envelopes. Instead of having my Dad's name E. M. Patterson, it says Em Patterson. Em, Like short for Emma. So it looks like either my Dad has a girl's name, or I have two mothers instead. I'm not too happy about that, but the printers will fix it whether they like it or not.

On another happy note, I downloaded a Trans Siberian Orchestra Christmas CD that is making me very happy at this instant. I'm just a little disappointed that we decided to not go to their concert this year. We're trying to save money. But I'm telling you, if you ever have the opportunity to go see them live, do it. They are absolutely amazing musicians. They take classical music and rock it out. Here's a video clip from their 2006 tour from YouTube:

Christmas in Sarajevo

I suggest you check out other videos too. It's all the lights, pyrotechnics and noise of a rock concert with the properness of an orchestra concert. The musicians wear tuxes and black dresses. It's amazing. I'm going to miss it this year.

I was going to post more, but I'm on a Trans Siberian high right now.

Enjoy loves.

1. Art trade of Darius from ~t3nk0's fanfic.
2. My love affair with Graphite.
3. My love affair with Fizix.
4. Some stuff of my original character Alexi who has been bothering me lately.
5. Maybe some stuff of my original character Lilly who is Alexi's girlfriend.
6. In numbers 4 and 5 I really want to experiment with some stuff. I haven't done that lately.
7. This one should really be 2 but I don't feel like redoing the numbers: 1000 Prize with pineapples for ~Brightside17

Ok, try to hold me to it. If y'all don't, no one will.

So maybe I'll talk some more after Thanksgiving. I might have my life back by then.

By the way, I don't think that my BS in Biology degree is going to do me any good. I can't find a job. Just thought I'd throw that out there. But in lieu of that, I do have a little spider living on my computer to keep me company. I just don't have the heart to do away with him.

Cheers.

I'll try to comment on what I haven't commented on the past two weeks. And I finally got to chat with *emmil! She's such a sweetie! Check her page out and give her some love!

2. Finish the last hundred pages of listed book before tomorrow. Anne Fadiman wrote the book, it wouldn't fit in the box.
3. Study for Sociology test before 6PM tomorrow.
4. Study for World Civilizations up to 1600 test before 10AM Wed.
5. Sing in Halloween concert at 11PM Wed. night.
6. Study for Physics test before 8AM on Thurs.
7. Get more primary sources for Senior Thesis sometime before 12PM next Thurs.
8. Interview two white and two non-white students for above Sociology presentation next Tues.
9. Do a power point and paper for above Sociology presentation next Tuesday.
10. Find and summarize an article on race relations before Sociology next Tuesday at 6PM.
11. Pin viceroy butterfly and pin and identify Mothra for bug collection due this Thursday.
12. Read a book about Mongols for History before next Wednesday at 10AM.
13. Finish annotated bibliography for Senior Seminar before next Thursday at 12PM.
14. Study for Environmental biology exam before next Thursday at appx. 2:30PM

I'm sure there will be Physics homework mashed somewhere in there.

That's my schedule for the next 2 weeks. Needless to say, I won't be commenting, much less deviating for about that time period. I still love you all and hope that your end of October beginning of November is better than mine. This semester needs to be over so I can make chocolates and deviate and do all those art trades, pseduo-commissions, late contest gift entries, etc. that I've promised and go see my Dave and plan my wedding...and get some sleep.

This journal was intended to let everone know that I don't hate them that I just have too much on my plate right now. Sorry

Cheers to everyone with lives.

Evan...out...like a light...

**EDIT**
~Guardianpommy let me borrow his Metroid Prime soundtrack. That's making me happier Just a few more things to do. And I love my physics professor. Just the thought of a little Bulgarian woman saying "may the force be with you" is still funny. It's even funnier when I think she ate part of the Halloween candy that she brought for us on her way to work this morning. She was quite hyper today.

I did no deviating. At...all. *emmil's contest is drawing to a close and I still haven't even thought about attempting it. But she's a great gal and I may just send her an entry for the heck of it. ~t3nk0's art trade didn't get started either. I never even thought about either to be honest. I made two batches of jelly from my dad's muscadine and scuppernong vines. They turned out quite well for my first attempt, but I don't like jelly so I went on the words of others. I have way to much to do in the way of school work. I normally go to my Grandma's house for supper on Wednesday nights, but that's not happening. My Grandpa really isn't doing well, so if you are the praying type offer up some for him please. But my Dave is bringing supper to me tomorrow and then he'll come to see my choir concert Thursday night and we're having a wedding planning day on Friday. Wedding planning day because not only were my bridesmaid's dresses discontinued, but my invitations from the local print shop were too. And on top of that, in lieu of my quest to be traditionally different, my dress was made the poster dress for a major bridal shop in the US. Great. But Dave and I are going to have a good day together, so that's cool. Meanwhile I will read 'til my eyes fall out and then I will just drag them across the paper and hope the information reaches my brain.

So all of my friends came back during fall break too. ~johneyreacko came back. Don't know where you went love but I'm glad you're back! I had like a million comments. And I'm over 1000 pageviews! If no one gets the screenshot of 1000 I know someone who came pretty dang close and I'll give the prize to them.

Oh and I'm reading this great book for history. It would be better if I didn't need to have it read by Friday but it's The Physician by Noah Gordon. It's about a young 11th century barber-surgeon who wants to study with Muslims about how to be a real physician. But Christians and Muslims aren't allowed to study together in this time, so he pretends to be a Jew. It has a lot of interesting cultural stuff in it. I'm a Christian and admittedly rather unknowledgeable about other religious cultures. I believe that the only way to get to heaven is through Jesus Christ, but I also believe that in spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ you should respect what other people believe and not beat them over the head with the Bible. Although the Bible says "Blessedm are those who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness for theirs is the kingdom of heaven" Matthew 5:10 I hope that this isn't a deterrent for anyone reading my journal. Like I said, I won't beat you over the head with the Bible...unless you want me to. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

I guess that's all. I'm off to save biodiversity.

There are way too many happy people outside my room right now laughing because obviously they don't have enough to do in college, while I, the "good student" that has to study all the time to get by studies physics and goodness knows what else while trying to drown out the laughter with Jason Mraz. Meh...

I really really want to draw. I took some pictures this weekend of a bon fire that my fiance and I had on our new property. They're all right, but I want to draw, or paint. I'm gonna start an art trade with ~t3nk0 in a little while as soon as she decides what she wants Until then I'm turning over an idea in my head that she gave me about my original love/love affair/whatever with pencils instead of digital media along with another idea about how (this is my quote here) "Physics is like a guy in a tragic love story, I love it and love doing it, but it will eventually be the death of me." But Fall Break next Monday and Tuesday doesn't look too promising. I guess I'll just play it by ear.

Well dang, sorry that wasn't more uplifting. Here if you want some good stuff go check out these galleries:
~t3nk0
*emmil
~johneyreacko
~Jezeze89
~Faith1000

They always have pretty stuff and give good comments

Oh, this is rather interesting, but I haven't had a chance to tell it yet. I'm officially a deviant to real society. Yep. Over the summer I got 3 new piercings. One new one in each ear to make three in each ear now and one in my belly button. I have seven piercings. For once in my life I have more than my mom has. She had five at one point. Anyway, just thought that was pretty cool. I really want to enter *emmil's contest. I just hope I have time! Go check her out! Enter her contest too, she needs 10 entries!

However even if I am you should check her stuff out. It's really good. She's got some good pencil drawings.

I suppose that I should go back to studying for my Environmental Biology class. In which case I'll re-enter the shameless plug for www.conservation.org and ask for more signatures on the petition. You can never start saving the world too early. Most people's goal is to take over the world, mine is to save it. Hey, you gotta start somewhere.

If you want to read them, they're some of her older works, but well worth the search. I have a senior thesis statement due Thursday and Physics homework due also. It's not gonna be a good deviating semester although RubyofTrinity's stories have struck a creative chord that makes my ears ring at the thought of not expressing. Maybe I'll try a little sometime. Oh well. I also have something that I would like everybody to do if they get the chance. It really only takes like two minutes tops if you have a bad internet connection.

www.conservation.org

Click on the countdown clock in the bottom right hand corner. On the page that brings you to, click the "sign the petition" button in the bottom right hand corner. You can also click on the arrows on the right side of this page to learn about a few critically endangered species. It's pretty self explanatory from there. This is a petition to stop the clock on extinction of endangered species. Since this is what my senior thesis is on, I would really appreciate the "signatures." I didn't get this together mind you, but I did find it today and added my signature. I would really appreciate it if you would copy and paste the link too. There's a whole website about species extinction that this leads to with a link to copy and paste into your own journal. As Shtinky Puddin' from Patrick McDonnell's Mutts www.muttscomics.com puts it, "Save the Tigers!"

I decided today that I am glad that I have a small base of dA friends who are just as maturely immature as I am. I'm sorry if anyone takes offense to that, I mean none. To me, someone is more mature that can laugh at the world and themselves and have a good time with things other than being a crazy "I hate the world" type of person. I know everyone has their days, but come on, the world isn't that bad of a place to live. I respect people that can do like Chandler on Friends and say something to the effect of "me, mature? farts, (something else) and butt cracks!" Yeah I know that was crass, but seriously being stuck up with a superiority complex is no fun, I don't guess, I've never tried it.

OK, off the soap box. Good things are happening. I have teachers that like me, I get to go to two weddings in May *ideas!* I shouldn't have a C this semester, I'm learning calligraphy, and I've got an early bedtime tonight! *happy sigh!*

I think I'm done

I still do not have my scanner in working order. It has books for my brother's research paper on top of it. Mechanically it's fine. And I keep leaving my camera in the car. Every afternoon this week I've gone to sleep trying to read Hamlet. I'm a Shakespeare geek really, but it's a lot more fun to act than it is to read. Especially when you get warm and cozy and want to do other things. So I'll just make up a few homework questions, maybe put something about how crazy Hamlet was or something incredibly uncredited because she doesn't read homework.

I'm still wedding planning big time. That's been my outlet lately. And I've found some really neat artists on here. I wish I could watch some more people, but I don't have time to look at the deviations that people send me now in a timely manner.

So I'm about to step out into a thunderstorm to go to yoga. I may kill myself trying to make myself healthier. That's real smart.

Sorry if I'm a little pessimistic now. I'll be better...oh...week after next maybe. Anyway, best of luck to all you faithful deviants!

Cheers.

I played softball for two and a half hours approximately, for two different Intramural teams. Lots of fun. I play right field well. And I'm a pretty good switch hitter. I don't think the guys on the other team believed that I really can bat both ways. Then I ran ran ran and got some french fries for supper. Then I went to Yoga class. So I got like 4 hours of physical activity today. My endorphins are running high. Then I ate about 2/3 of a block of ramen and I was so lazy that I didn't want to wash my fork, so I got out one of my many pairs of chopsticks. They actually work better than the fork. The Japanese know what they are doing let me tell you. Then I talked to Dave and painted some more. And now since my bag is finished, hopefully I'll take a picture of it, and get my scanner from home, and put up some new deviations. It's really not all I'm making it out to be, but my neighbor who's an art major liked it a lot, but then again she may have thought I just started on it instead of almost finished it. Oh well, Dave's mom should think it's cool.

I just realized how long of a journal this is.

I have decided to put my WMP on shuffle, so I'm listening to all kinds of junk.

I have a love hate relationship with spring in South Carolina. We don't have seasons here anymore. The weather just decides what it wants to be and it happens. It was 80 degrees last week. And on Easter Sunday, the high was about 50. It's very beautiful when it's warm, and miserable when it's cold. So, now I am on 5 different medicines because of tree sex (pardon the expression for pollen). Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) and Loratadine (Claritin) for antihistamines, Phenylephrine (Sudaphed PE) for a decongestant, Clindamycin for an antibiotic, and a calcium carbonate (Tums) chaser for the Clindamycin because it gives me heartburn. But heartburn I can deal with. The itchy hands and feet from Penicillin, the upset stomach from Azithromycin and the nausea from Biaxin I can't handle. You know, if I was born earlier than the 20th century, I would be dead. That's a comforting thought. Oh well, I'm alive now, that's all that counts.

I need to study bleh!

I have also determined that if someone slit my wrists, I would bleed Diet Pepsi, not blood. I'm such a caffeine addict.

I drew one picture...all week long. And it wasn't even my pseudo-comission.

I worked on a research paper and a 317 page book, and ate lunch with my fiance.

Ok, school is about to get the best of me. I have senioritis/spring break-itis, and I'm only a junior. My research paper is about to get the best of me. I am out of ideas. I haven't been creative since I really got back from Hawaii. No food creativity, no drawing, no photography, no nothing. (Yes I know I just put a double negative, but I'm from the South, it's part of my character.) So I'm asking anyone who cares to read to help me out. I draw better when I'm not doing something for myself. So if you would, leave a comment, note, anything about something I can draw. I also like stories, characters with stories are good. But whatever. Of course this is only if you like, and you might not see the fruits of your labor for a while, but oh well, it may keep me happy and make you happy knowing that you just helped someone out...(although I usually don't care about that) Ok. I'm done ranting. Back to not doing a research paper.
