This past week was finals week, but most of my teachers had finals the week before. The only two I had were Diversity in Theatre (which was just submitting a paper through e-mail) and Intermediate Acting (which was watching the last 4 scenes->I'd already gone, so I just got my scene's grade and my paper back).
Acting was canceled because of weather, so I went over to pick up my grade on Thursday (Along with my 3-d art project and journal/sketchbook). I have not left the house since. I've only gone outside once, to get doughnuts out of the truck.

Yes, I have become a doughnut-devouring hermit. But I got As on my paper and scene and A+s on my project and sketchbook. (These are not normal grades for me. I'm a B personretty average.)


Does anyone else think this looks freakin' awesome? I wish I could write music like that:at about 40 seconds.

You have to be old to see it. And I am...old.


My birthday was a few weeks ago, which passed uneventfully. I'm 23 now, but I keep forgetting. I turned 17 for 5 years, then I was suddenly 21 when I was actually 22 and now I'm just old. ...You know, that last part made perfect sense in my mind, but it looks funny in type.
Ok, So at some point in high school, I had a sudden, persistent idea that I wouldn't live past my mid twenties. I thought 24, but the world's supposed to end when I'm 26, so it's all around the same time. I'm almost 24, and I haven't accomplished anything. >.<


I'm living in my parent's garage, which I actually love. It's cold, but the garage is insulated, and I have a blanket tent around my pallet platform so I'm not on the cement and my heater doesn't have to work so hard. And I have a nice little carpet. And a few 'rugs' made from the scraps of carpet I yoinked when the movie theater was remodeling. (I miss the free movies...and being an ass to Trevor. He was a dorky boss, but a pretty good guy.)
Argyle is adjusting. He's gained a lot of weight since we moved, but he's doing ok. I think he misses living in town. Natty--a Siamese cat my parents took for a church lady after she moved into assisted living--got in the garage and took up residence on my bed. Argyle is coping.
The latch on the door froze open for a while, so Tuesday night (the night of the "blizzard") I had to go inside because my shovel/rake/ho barricade wasn't holding the door shut. There's a bunch of snow on my stuff that was near the door, so I've been going through some of that stuff to make sure it's not ruined. Nothing's melted, so I didn't have to worry about wet books.

Since I'm on break from school, I've been watching a lot of movies, mainly with my mom. We don't have the same taste in movies, sadly. I prefer to watch romantic movies by myself. It's weird watching them with her. If we watch my super hero movies(Iron man, Batman X men...), she pretty good, but I made the mistake of putting in Fight Club. She did not appreciate that. When the cock flashed at the end, she was worried that she'd been defiled, which *one hand* I felt bad because I forgot it was there and *other hand* thought she shouldn't be so sensitive about it. At least it wasn't vag.
I will not be showing her Zach and Miri (I seriously love that movie. I can see myself living that story line someday. He confesses his love to her, through the bathroom door, while she's taking a dump!!)

I finished the quilting part of my seizure blanket. Now I just have to find a big enough table to layer in the batting and put on the back. (the back is plain teal, but I need to sew it so it's the right length to width. Currently it's too long and not wide enough.)
It's going to be a tie quilt, and I have buttons that will attach with the tying. I think I want to put them on the plain side, just so it's not so boring. I'll suffer them against my skin for the shiney.

I finished a denim shoulder bag and my two colleges (themed "Causal Friday: Nudity is next to Godliness" and "Pleasure's a sin and sometimes sin's a pleasure." Someday they will be framed and in my living room, next to "You can't buy love..." Someday, I will have a living room...) I'm also converting some red plaid button downs into aprons. It's promising, but but it's a lot of hemming. I've also converted some clothes; the top of my jr prom dress can now be worn as a gothic-y top and I'm in the process of shortening a skirt. And I turned a book into a compartment book. I think I've got the concept and if I try it again it... ]]> ~EnigmaticSerendipity http://EnigmaticSerendipity.deviantart.com/journal/22430112/ http://EnigmaticSerendipity.deviantart.com/journal/22430112/ Tue, 06 Jan 2009 08:56:29 PST Miscellaneous string and wire.
And a box of beads.
And a basket of yarn...with knitting needles. (I'm still not all that great at knitting...)

Anyway. I must rid myself of all my craft stuff.
THEN I CAN BUY MORE!!

And maybe I can sell some of the made stuff. I always think "No one will pay for this crap." And then I remember that most people are uncreative and have not manual-dexterity-ability-ness.

Not to sound harsh or anything, but most people don't look at the quality of crafts. They go for the shiny.
And I do shiny.

I write these for my own enjoyment.

I love Halloween. Just thought you should know.

He leaned against the wall of the tent for support. "Aye," he said warily, "she's alive. And chances are, she's imprisoned in Helgrind, in the Ra'zac's lair." Eragon grasped Roran by the shoulders. "The answer to your question, brother, is yes. I will travel to Dras-Leona with you. I will help you rescue Katrina. And then, together, you and I shall kill the Ra'zac and avenge our father."

End of Book Two

The story will continue in

Book Three of Inheritance

"GGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" The inhuman scream ripped from her lips, as she slammed the book shut and flung it across the dining room. The red, hard-cover smashed into a display, shattering the glass. She stood in a hulk stance and loosed another banshee worthy screech.
Her mother chuckled from the living room. "You finally finished it?"
She wandered into the living room, seemingly calm again. "Well, I've only been reading it a few days, but..." She resumed her unsatisfactory-end-of-a-book raging.
"I thought you said it was predictable. Write the next book for yourself."
"It's not the same!!" She crouched in a Wolverine stance, with her hands curled into claws. "It hurts me not to have the next book. I want it! I need it! It costs me dearly not to have it!"
Mother just laughed at her and went back to her knitting.
She straightened and shook her fists at the ceiling. "Curse you, Paolini!! This means war!"

THIS time, I'm going to try to draw them better, use the same colors and draw them the same every time. (Blasphemy, I know! )

I might write a few short stories...or sew some stuff. I dunno yet, but I think I'm gonna take a break from the comics...I give myself a week. (I'm sounding like I so comics ALL the TIME, and I have a following *snicker*)

Sam downloaded GIMP and Blender, so I might attempt some stuff with them.

I was upset.
You were having another 'crisis'.
So I said some stuff.
You took offense.
We were both upset.
So I had to appologized.
You became the victim.
I tried to explain.
You told me 'I know how you feel'
I just wanted you to say you cared.
But you STILL...WEREN'T...LISTENING.

Story:

Orange was sitting in the sun. It had been a long winter, and now that the weather was finally hospitable, she was enjoying to its full potential.
There were some birds singing nearby and there seemed to be music playing lightly in the back ground.
Orange frowned. The music seemed to be growing louder; it wasn't soft or relaxing and it seemed to be accompanied by the grind of metal on metal and the screeches of demonic laughter.
A purple sable, badly in need of being euthanized and blaring Nickleback's 'Animals', shrieked to a sudden halt before her, followed in quick succession by a beige mini van, spewing Blood Hound Gang's 'Bad Touch'. Two amazons flew from the car, almost before it stopped moving, and began barreling toward her. The shorter girl was loosing the race, so she tackled the taller.
Orange's breath was vaulted from her lungs as Blue's head collided with her lower intestine, and she was given the Heimlich that she was so undeserving of.
Green, seeing that she still hadn't won the honor of first hug, even though she had awesome 'Hun-yuking' form, flopped upon Blue's prone, skidded body, like a line-backer pinup girl.
Orange turned her head to catch her breath, only to come face to face with the crotch of the mini-van-denizen, as Red humped her shoulder 'hello'.
Orange managed to croak, "Welcome to the herd gathering." before passing out on the lawn.

I COULD start watching every cartoonist on DA and study there methods, and drawing style; seeing what draws the eye, what doesn't, what makes things cluttered, and how to draw hot women.

I COULD practice coloring with GIMP (but Linux scares me...)

I COULD spend more time drawing them out, and coloring them. *Snerk* Yeah, right.

~OR~

I COULD continue drawing as always, and make jokes about the crappy picture.

I WON'T do anything about the story, because it's so incredibly and strictly mine...And I'm stubborn...and I don't know how to change it anyway, and it makes sense to ME...And that's all that matters, right? If I like it? It's MY therapy.

Or I could just procrastinate some more on life, and live in my own little bubble.

...And draw a better cover page for my binder.

Maybe if I just used a more subdued background...

Easter: I ate too much candy. I think my guts are trying to wiggle out. There's a Trill symbiont in my intestines! ...I'm not even going to explain that. I had to look up what it was called, and if you really wanna know, you can too.
My grandma's in the hospital, so we visited her.
I got to see a bunch of my cousins' kids; they wouldn't let me near them...I still say the slasher-bunny wasn't THAT scary...

ATWIL: I have four more pages sketched out. I'm putting off drawing them...because I lazy. I only write these journals for my own confirmation, so I can pretend I'm alive...I have three other blogs, and I never write anything of consequence. Oh well.
I got a new binder! Simple pleasure...
I have my story ling and a start in my head, if I can just finish the boring one I'm on!! (I'm even MORE boring as a comic character!)

Sports: *crazed look* I found a sport I MUST be involved in. You drive a car up a ramp on one side, and whoever skids the farthest on the roof wins. They also are judged in hight, style and all that. I can practice with the Caviler!! It's not NEARLY smashed enough! And I'm pretty sure I don't need a passenger's side ANYWAY!!

Other stuff I try not to think about: College: I filled out my transcript request form, I just need to get cash to send it. (Sad. I have to go to the bank for $2.) I need to send in that $20 processing fee-thing. (Do they accept cash, Chey?) Job: I have an interview on Wednesday...Not looking forward to it, and I have to re-type my resume...my wussie resume. Car: I'm going to have to wire something up. It was warm today, but I was preoccupied. I really have to stop doing that. (Ok ok! So my parents are getting the house resided, and I was afraid to go outside with the peoples there. I didn't want to get talked down to for doing 'mans work'. You know that look when you go into hardware stores? Yeah!) ...And I have to start the tire harvest a little early. I'm actually trying to figure out which is in worse shape: the Sable or the Taurus.

Yay! Rambling!

Dialog:
I'm having issues writing the next part. I need 'Hunter' to get mad enough at the robed person to hit them (While making an 'Obi Wan' crack)
I can't figure out how to not make Hunter sound like a whiner or a hot-head.

Name:
'Enigma's' real name is Hunter Red. I think I might have to go and write back-story of her in the experimental lab.
'K's' name has been changed to 'Kay'. I don't know what her super name will be yet...not do I know why she's "Kay" when her experiment title was 'Hunter Violet'.

Eh!!!!

I'm getting a piercing today.

***Disclaimer: For those of you who know what's up with this, I was not in a happy place for a very long time. I finally got over it, and can look back and laugh.
The only problem is, I can't STOP laughing, and it sounds rather maniacal.
This is a very warpped story, very VERY loosely based...on a slight grain...of a sneezed idea of reality...and then horribly exaggerated, and run through the 'telephone' game 73 times.
It's meant to be funny and a creative outlet...and she must never know of it. ***

~Cheers

Part 1:

Enigma opens door to knocks. A bubbly girl, dressed in same colored, but more sexily cut cloths is standing there.

Enigma: Um...who are you exactly?
K: I'm the K! I'm moved in across the hall! I was wondering if I could borrow and egg.
E: (grabs an egg and returns, But starts talking in kitchen)....So....what experiment are you from?
K: The same as yours, but more recent. I'm exactlly like you, except I'm younger, perkier, and my boobs are bigger!
E:...
Random Guy: Enigma, I just want you to know I've liked you for a long...(sees K) WHOA!
E: (Flattered and slightly enamored) Yes?
RG: Nevermind. (Leaves with K)
(Enigma scowels and crushes egg in her hand.)

Part 2:
A medley of time (Maybe...two to three months)...And a parade of guys...with a few stolen ones in the mix (not just from E).

Part 3:
A year later:

K: ...Enigma, I can't tell you how relieved I am that you said you could watch the kids tonight. I just didn't know what to do! My daycare is just getting too expencive, and with them being octuplits, a weeks worth of diapers is $160!!
E: So...where's the dad?
K: Oh, I don't know! There are three different guys it COULD be, but the elderly guy I was boinking for his house had a heart attack when I told him I was pregnant. THEN his childeren, who are all older then me, had a restraining order put on me, and I WASN'T EVEN IN THE WILL!
*sigh*
(Looks very down for a momment, then brightens.)
Well, such is life. Gotta stop thinking about it, or my customers will notice. I don't want to upset my pimp again.
See ya!
(K leaves.)
E: *eye twich* Ha! *Twitch twich* Ha ha hahahaha!
(E shown on top of a sky scraper, with lightning in the background. Laughing maniacly.)

I would actually submit this, but...I'm lazy, and I'm in a bad mood...obviously.

~~~

Braid the mousy hair; weave a feather in the tress.
Drink a pint of vodka and realize your life’s a mess.
Smear the pretty face with blue berserker paint.
Think of all your happy times; the memories seem so faint.

Braid the frizzy hair; weave in a light blond tress.
You work so hard; give your all, but the return is always less.
Dab the forlorn eye as the tears stream and run the paint.
They smile at you indulgently and say your dreams are quaint.

Braid the messy hair; weave scarlet hemp around the tress.
You look for an escape for you know that would be best.
Garb yourself in armor and touch up your warrior paint.
Walk out the door and don’t look back as you leave reality’s taint.

I shall try again later...and I MIGHT even post my first attempt. It didn't help that half is in black ink, and the other half in blue! I laugh!

But that got me thinking...what OTHER things can I draw myself as? Stuffed animal?

There's either really realistic ones, or temp-tattoo-cartoony ones. I love cartoons, but they're all DUMB tattoos. *pouts*

lol! I just felt like being a poop! Chey and Hattie have the easy ones; spiders and butterflys.

Any hue, I'm currently working on a picture for my friend, Hattie. I brought up the DREADED QUESTON!!!! That's right, 'If you were an animal, what would you be? *thunder crash*

So, I'm planning on drawing a picture of a little 'incedent' that happened when a group of us were skinny dipping...IN ANTHRO!!! Woot! But first, I need to buy some dounuts!! lol j/k

Wow! I'm wired!!! lol

Some how my anthro character always starts out as a black jauar...then I add the furry bob-cat ears, and cheetah tears, and a lion mane!! It's madness. It changes everytime I draw it...most of the time I just leave off the wings... It's sillyness.

I'm going to draw Hattie as a wolf and Cody as a bear, though.
AND I found some water color paper in my room!! I'll have to try that! It's been a while. ]]> ~EnigmaticSerendipity
