                <description><![CDATA[ ...to western Oregon in specific. I still talk to my ex, Ryan, who lives out there now. It's been three years since we broke up, but I find myself still fawning over him. Apparently he would date me again if he had the chance. At least, that's what he said anyway. And I'm inclined to agree with him. Really, the reason we broke up is because we didn't make enough time to see each other, and we're both sort of kicking ourselves for that now. I really have no reason to complain about my current situation, though; I have a boyfriend who loves me very much. I just wonder if it means something if two people who've been apart for three years still have feelings for each other. Well, it's not like I can do anything about it. I can't quite make the 3,000 mile trip--no money. I need a job.<br /><br />Feel free to give your two cents' worth on my pathetic venting of the day.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I *finally* finished painting the eyes of the Sumiko doll for Sandra. I am so pleased with the results of my first repaint! I removed the factory eye paint from a Winter Splendor Barbie and repainted the eyes to look more Asian. They actually look quite a lot like the Silkstone eyes, which are very pretty. Now I just have to apply a varnish, glue on the wig and shoes, dress her, and I'm done. Oh, and the final touch--the key necklace. I ordered a tiny little key charm, only 15 mm long and 5 mm wide, to make the necklace. Then she's perfect. I will post before and after pictures when I am completely finished. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I am sooooo excited to go see The Wizard of Oz with my uncle next month--in theaters! He told me he thinks it hasn't been shown in theaters since the 80s, and it's been one of his life-long dreams to see it in theaters since it's his favorite movie of all time. What's especially awesome about this is that it will be shown in HD following a special "Making of The Wizard of Oz" supplement. How cool is that? Especially for two movie nerds such as my uncle and myself! lol<br /><br />If any of you can, you should definitely try to go see The Wizard of Oz! Unfortunately, it's only being shown in Kerasotes theaters, as far as I know. And it's for one night only--September 23 at 7 PM. Here's the <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.kerasotes.com/Content.aspx?PageName=advance-wizard&amp">[link]</a><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";P" title="Wink/Razz" />ageTitle=advance-wizard to the places it's being shown at, if anyone's interested.<br /><br />By the way, I am so wearing my ruby slippers that day. And the Wizard of Oz shirt I bought at Charlotte Russe last night. Go nerdiness!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yesterday I went with <a href="http://thesilverkiss.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/t/h/thesilverkiss.gif" alt=":iconthesilverkiss:" title="thesilverkiss"/></a> to Mitsuwa in one of the Chicago suburbs. We had a fun girl day. ^_^ She helped me put my hair up in victory rolls (popular style during WWII) and I dressed in a 40s-inspired outfit. I felt very cute all day. I wanted to post pictures to my facebook, but the camera is being stupid and won't connect to my computer. I'm pretty sure there's an evil spirit somewhere in the USB cable... Anyway, she drove my car to the Belvidere Oasis, which is where we realized that there was next to no gas in my car. Oops! So after I filled up, we headed back out on the highway. We almost go to our exit to get to Mitsuwa when Sandra got a call from her mom about her car. Long story short, we had to go pick up her mom and sister from the auto shop down the street from Mitsuwa and sort of save them temporarily.<br /><br />I was really hoping to find some nice Japanese books on Disney art at Mitsuwa, but there were none, unfortunately. I ended up buying a Japanese gentleman's fashion magazine on clearance for my uncle, an orange Ramune for him, and a box of Puchi Petites for him. They're collectible miniatures that are really popular in Japan right now, and I thought he might be able to use them in his Ralph Lauren store miniature. All I got was some sushi for lunch that I couldn't finish and ended up throwing away. *sad face*<br /><br />Then we stopped at the Blick Art Store outside of Woodfield Mall, and it was like we died and went to artists' heaven. Oh, if I had $100 to spend in that store... At the mall I bought a black vest to wear with my t-shirts for $20. Woot! Steal! I've been wanting a freaking vest for five years, way before they were popular. Our trip ended with a piece of Chocolate Raspberry Mousse cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory. Yes, you should be very jealous. *evil grin* <br /><br />All in all, good day. Ask for a link to the pictures if you know me on facebook. Wait a few days, though. Somehow I have a feeling that my camera is still going to be a butt when I try uploading again.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Wow, I haven't updated this in freaking forever... Anyway, I'm seriously considering taking down all of my Disney fanart. I've been irritated for quite some time that it seems like the only things I post that get any recognition are my fanarts, when it's my original works that I'm truly proud of. And the recognition that my fanarts get are almost always just favs, hardly ever any comments. It is indeed a rarity when I get a fav or comment on anything not Disney in my gallery. Oh, and I'm pretty sure that 90% of my watchers only watch me for the fanart, which isn't really what I want to be best known for. The only reason I posted any of my fanart on this site is because I thought my friends would enjoy it. And the reason I created the fanart in the first place is because I'm in the process of making a book for my favorite uncle who loves anything Disney, especially the artwork. He collects animation cells from the movies, among other things. And of course I also made the fanart because I love Disney, too. This started out as a labor of love that I feel has been taken for granted by some of the members on DA. I'll wait a few days and read whatever comments people post on my journal before I make my decision.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Title unrelated.<br /><br />This past week has been really great. Last Friday Sandra, Johannes, and I went to go pick up her friend, Maria. It was a three hour trip both ways, but it was so worth it! Maria is so amazing, and I'm so glad I met her. I got to spend time with all of them this past week, and I feel so much closer to them. Especially Sandra...I've known her since I was a Freshman, but I really feel like she's one of my best friends. It's so nice having female companionship... I only just met Maria, but I can already tell that we will be great friends, too. And of course Johannes is my best guy friend. I feel so lucky to have such wonderful friends. Johannes is like my twin, Sandra is such a gifted artist and a generous soul, and Maria just makes me smile. I love you guys!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I have to go see a rheumatologist! My migraine doctor thinks I have Fibromyalgia, so I have to have it checked out by a specialist. I'm pretty sure that I do have it because I live with 24/7 pain. It's kind of brought me down. I've been in a creative slump lately. But that also could be because I've been spending so much time with Nate... We've been together for almost two months now, and I'm very happy. ^_^ I've got that damn Kelly Clarkson song stuck in my head, My Life Would Suck Without You. It's so true...<br /><br />I've decided to go to cosmetology school in the fall. I want to be a hair stylist. I gave Johannes a haircut the other day, and it turned out really well. I know it's a very stereotypical female career, but I don't care. It's like I discovered a new creative outlet, and I love it!<br /><br />To all my dear friends who read this journal, be blessed with good health, and never give up. If I've learned anything from my four year battle with pain, it's to never give up.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So...my life has taken a turn for the better. I might be getting a job at Office Max. I know, not the most exciting place to work, but it's a job. Sumiko is almost done with my lolita skirt, and it looks so pretty! I can't wait to wear it. Oh, and I have a new boyfriend. We've been dating for about a week, and he's so wonderful. His name is Nate. For once I'm not dating a totally loser-ish guy. Nate actually has some direction in life. And he's really sweet. We went to the Motley Crue concert on Sunday. It was so fun! Except when I fell down the stairs. lol Currently I'm in the process of designing my own tarot deck; the theme is fairies. And I'm still working on a picture that was supposed to be for my friend Chey's birthday. Yeah...half a month late not good. My migraines are doing better, too. I went for a whole week without one. But I have one right now that's been on and off for the past three days. bla All in all though, my life is looking up.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, I finally came to the realization that my fiance is a total, complete loser. He won't quit smoking even though it's a hazard to his health and makes my migraines worse. He says it's too hard to do. Ever heard of the nicotine patch?? He refuses to go see a shrink even though he has some serious mental issues. He cuts himself when he gets depressed and he's ALWAYS depressed. It gets to you after a while. And on top of that, I have to play chauffeur for him, driving him back and forth to work all the time because he thinks it's pointless to get a car of his own. Yeah. He's going bye-bye and I'm opening a new chapter in my life. I'm sick of dating loser guys. So I'm going to bite the bullet and try to get a job and go back to college. I'm just as much of a loser as he is, and I need to do something about it. I'm sick of living in a rut. Now, I'm not looking for sympathy from you guys. I'm actually not sure what I'm looking for. I think my friend, Evan, had the best thing to say to me: "I'm proud of you, Laura, for realizing what you truly want in life and taking action to obtain that."<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So...I'm still getting married, but plans have changed SO many times, it's ridiculous. After realizing that Jon and I really want a wedding where all of our friends and family can attend, we nixed the Disney World idea. Then we ran into the money issue and we came up with the idea of getting married at the courthouse and having an actual wedding ceremony when we can afford it. THEN Jon's mom offered to pay for our entire wedding, so now the plan is that we're getting married sometime in October this year or May next year. It depends on whether or not I can get a job so I can save up money for our first place. But with the way the economy is, I don't know how soon that will happen. I also might have to just apply for disability because my migraines still haven't gone away. They were getting better after I got home from the hospital, but now they're just going back to the way they were. Bla.<br /><br />On a side note, I wish I had more female friends. Most of the mine are online and live far away. Grr. I would love to have <a href="http://darkbunny145.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/a/darkbunny145.jpg?3" width="50" height="50" alt=":icondarkbunny145:" title="darkbunny145"/></a> and <a href="http://swiftwhippet.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/w/swiftwhippet.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconswiftwhippet:" title="swiftwhippet"/></a> as bridesmaids. I highly doubt that they would make the trip all the way to IL to be in my wedding, though. It makes me sad. I have my best friend, Rachael, and two of Jon's friends who I'm sort of friends with as my bridesmaids.<br /><br />Oh, and I have a migraine right now that's lasted for two days. *bangs head against desk*<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I just had an interesting conversation with Johannes. We were talking about all of the so-called friends who have turned their backs on each of us. For me, it's happened countless times, and it's really painful. I would like to know what is so horrible about me that would make someone hate me or just stop talking to me for no rhyme or reason. These are the things I would like to say to people who have hurt me in the past, most of them female oddly enough. I won't name any names because that's not nice. If you're reading this, you're probably not on my list, so don't worry. Here goes:<br /><br />1. We were best friends, and then pen pals when we went to different schools. I thought everything was fine until the day you stopped writing. Why could you never tell me why you stopped writing to me? What did I do?<br /><br />2. We were best friends from 8th grade through Sophomore year, then one day Junior year you told me you didn't want to be friends anymore. That hurt me so much, and I still miss you every day. We were inseparable; we were like sisters. What happened?<br /><br />3. We were such good friends Freshman year and the summer afterward, but then you changed. You became a totally different person and turned your back on me. We tried to patch things up many times, but it never worked. Why did you do that to me? <br /><br />4. Why do you hate me so much? What did I ever do to you? I'll tell you--nothing. I was only ever nice to you and you treat me like I'm the scum of the earth. Why? Because your best friend decided to date me and you couldn't have him all to yourself? Are you just jealous?<br /><br />5. We were friends throughout high school, but now you never talk to me. I don't think you even care, or ever did for that matter. Is that why you decided to back out of doing the Lolita for me?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, everyone, I am officially going to the Diamond Headache Clinic in Chicago on the 21st. Hopefully I can finally get some relief. I've been spending a lot of my time laying in bed because I can't get any painkillers strong enough. Grr. It sucks because I would really love to go back to college and get a job, and maybe, just maybe, finally move out! But for now I have to mooch off of my parents' insurance. I found the other day that one of my meds alone costs over $400 each refill without insurance. Yikes. And I'm one of those people that take so many pills I rattle. lol<br /><br />One of my fears is that I may have Fibromyalgia. From what I gather, it consists of constant muscle and joint pain, which I have on top of my migraines. >_< I don't know. Does anyone who reads this have Fibromyalgia or know someone with it?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So...lot's of stuff is going on in my life right now. I have college to worry about first of all, and then I've got relationship issues. I broke up with Jordan a while ago, and now I'm dating my friend Mark, but everyone is really upset about it. This is the problem with having a bunch of guy friends. First, Jordan is jealous. Then Joe and Johannes both have feelings for me so they're pretty down about me and Mark dating. Ugh. And don't even get me started about Nate. Nate just doesn't like me, period. I wish we could all get along again and that my friends could be happy for me. I really, REALLY like Mark, and I plan on staying with him for quite some time. Probably the only friends that aren't affected by this situation are Ethan and my female friends.<br /><br />On a lighter note, I got to see Daniel yesterday. He's getting so big! He's four months old now, and he's trying so hard to talk. It's so cute. He babbled something that sounded like "I'm so high!" It was really funny. I can't wait until he can start talking and walking. He's getting to be a lot more fun. He always smiles at me. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So last night I had a dream that I dyed my hair bubblegum pink. It was pretty awesome. I think I'll go to an anime convention with a pink wig and dress in lolita. Seems like a good idea.<br /><br />In other news, Jordan is driving me crazy. He's such a jerk wad sometimes. Tonight, as he does many nights, he blew me off for one of his brother's friends even though we had plans. I'm so sick of it. I've been putting up with this shit for over a year now. Occasionally he feels enough remorse to buy me flowers, but it doesn't really help because he just keeps doing this to me. We will make plans and then without giving me a call or letting me know what's going on, he goes off with his brother and his friends. I ask him why he does this to me and he has no excuse. All he says is "I'm sorry" and then he goes and does it again a week later! Ugh.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Oh, yesterday was so much fun! I went to a dollhouse miniature show with my uncle Jeff in Chicago. I got a lot of really good pictures, and I'll post them on my facebook on Thursday and put a link in my journal. There was so much cool stuff there; I don't know where to begin. There were three showrooms, two of them were huge, and the third was devoted to dolls completely. I was tempted to get a doll making kit, but when I took into account the cost of materials, I decided against it. Instead, I purchased a book of patterns from Gone With the Wind. I have to double them in size to fit Barbies, since the patterns were 1" scale and Barbie is 2" scale. So I'm excited to start sewing!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I just finished watching Phantom of the Opera. That movie always makes me cry, especially during the oboe solo at the very end when Raoul is visiting Christine's grave and sees the Phantom's rose and ring. Though that last bit could be because I have a soft spot for oboes, being a former oboist myself. I don't care what people think, the oboe is one of the most beautiful instruments in my mind.<br /><br />Anyway, I have quite a few projects going on right now. I'm finishing up a series of Tinker Bell drawings for Rachael for her birthday, and all of my other projects are cross stitch. I'm making a birth sampler for Rachael's son, Daniel; a cross stitch of bluebirds for my grandma; a welcome sign for my boyfriend's sister, Jess; a needlecase for myself; and soon I'll be starting a cross stitch of a fairy for myself. I should make a Phantom cross stitch someday...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I have chronic daily migraines. My friends say they would not be able to last a day in my shoes, but on the other hand, I could not last a day in their shoes either. Problems seem to have that effect on people. For three years now, I have been dealing with migraines and digging myself a deeper hole every day. I have been on more medications than you can count on your fingers, and nothing has helped. Every day I wake up in pain. ItÂs not just my head, but my entire body. Imagine waking up every day with your whole body aching and your head throbbing, not being able to move because it just makes the pain worse. There are a few days every once in a while where my head doesnÂt hurt so badly, and I can have somewhat of a normal day. Although it seems like not a day goes by that I am not popping painkillers left and right. They allow me to function during the majority of the day on most days. But I still have a fair amount of days when I canÂt seem to escape the pain, and all I can do is sleep.<br /><br />Because of my migraines I am not able to hold a job or go to school. I was supposed to graduate with my class in May of 2007, but I could not because I had missed too much school. In January of my junior year the headaches started. They got so bad that I had to go on medical leave. They got a little better over the summer, but then I had to drop out of school completely as a senior. Those two years that were supposed to be the best years of high school for me were the worst. I had to settle for getting a GED because it was too depressing to stay there for who knows how much longer while everyone else moved on. I attempted going to college this past fall, but I ran into the same problems again. I had even gone to see a headache specialist this past summer, but the medications he prescribed me barely put a dent in my pain. I ended up dropping out of college.<br /><br />This is my story, and I donÂt expect anyone to understand my pain. I just hope that someday I will get better, and I hope that none of my friends ever have to deal with what I go through every day.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Friday morning while I was laying in bed debating whether or not to get up, I got a phone call from my best friend, Rachael. She said, "You'll never guess where I am." I was half awake and ventured the guess, "Walmart?" She said no, that she was at the hospital and she had given birth to her son the previous day. I asked her a ton of questions, like her baby's stats and if it was horribly painful. My godson, Daniel Scott Campbell, came into this world on January 10th, 2008, at 3:34 P.M. He was exactly one month premature and weighs 5 lbs. 12 oz. and is 18 1/4 inches long. He's in the intensive care unit with a tube up his nose to help him breathe until he can do it on his own. <br />
<br />
I went down to the hospital around 4 on Friday with Jordan. Rachael and I went to see Daniel in the ICU while Jordan and Rachael's boyfriend stayed in the room and played video games. He's in an incubator and will stay there for about a week until Rachael can take him home. She told me that she doesn't have any fondness for her son and is pretty much indifferent. Her doctor said that's normal with new mothers until they start taking anti-depressants. <br />
<br />
Anyway, Daniel is a really skinny baby! Most babies are really chunky when they're born, but he's long and skinny. He has really long skinny feet and toes, and long skinny hands and fingers. He doesn't have very much hair, but it's medium brown. He also has really blue eyes. He was sleeping when Rachael and I went to see him, and I stuck my hand in the incubator and stroked his head, not knowing what else to do. I've always had a strong dislike for babies and small children, but Daniel is the first exception. That could be just because he's my best friend's son; I don't know. When I stroked his little hand with my finger he grabbed onto it, and he has quite a grip. When I pulled my finger away after a while he fussed a bit, and I said "Shh...it's alright." I was greatly surprised that he instantly quieted down after I said that, and Rachael was too. She looked at me and said, "Well that was easy." <br />
<br />
I got to hold him, and I expected him to scream and cry since I wasn't his mother, and because he had done that when Rachael's boyfriend, his father, tried to hold him. He was perfectly calm and sleepy in my arms. Even Rachael's grandma who has raised two generations of babies and children couldn't quiet him when she held him. Daniel seems to only like being held by Rachael and I. I really don't understand why he's so calm when I hold him because I know absolutely nothing about babies. <br />
<br />
Since Daniel has taken a liking to me, I hope he will be my little buddy as he grows up. I told him that we'll build castles and spaceships out of Leggos and that I'll buy him coloring books, a drawing pad, and a big box of crayons as soon as he's able to hold one. I told him that I would help teach him to drive his first car and that I would be there when he gets his first tattoo or piercing.<br />
<br />
I asked Rachael if the birth was horribly painful, and she said that it wasn't because she was drugged up. They gave her an epidural, but it didn't kick in soon enough so they gave her Novocaine. She said that she could still feel what was happening but that it didn't hurt. She also told me that her doctor said that if Daniel had been full term and came out in February that Rachael would have had to get a C-section. Even though her son was one month early, she couldn't push him out all the way, and the doctor had to use a sort of vacuum on his head to pull him out. <br />
<br />
I gave Rachael the nickname "Pad Queen" because she'll be bleeding a lot for the next week or so and she's had to wear these huge makeshift diapers after the birth. She told me she can't wait until the doctor says it's ok for her to shower because she feels really gross. I don't blame her. I would too after popping out a kid. Fortunately she doesn't have any stretch marks from this ordeal, and her stomach is almost completely flat again, so she doesn't have a ton of extra saggy skin. I shudder thinking about how that happens to some women. Seriously, we women get the short end of the stick in life. There's no room for debate on that one.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I'm kind of excited about my godson, but I did tell Rachael that I don't want to babysit him until he's house broken. I've never changed a diaper or taken care of a baby and I'd rather keep it that way. I think a small child who knows how to use a toilet would be a lot easier to take care of. I love Daniel, but I'm glad he's not my kid.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ If you haven't heard the song already, go download The Poet and the Pendulum by Nightwish. It's from their new album, Dark Passion Play, and it's a really great song. Be sure to listen to the one with vocals and not the acoustic version however. The vocals are freaking awesome. The new singer isn't as great as the one they had before, but this lady still has some great vocals. The song also has amazing instrumentals, and my favorite part is the little oboe solo at about 10 minutes in. Yeah, I'm an oboe nerd... Oh, and just to warn you, the song is about 14 minutes long. So go download it, or if you're against illegal downloading, buy the CD, which has other songs of amazingness.<br />
<br />
On a side note, Thursday, January 10th, is my one year anniversary with Jordan. w00t!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Oh well, she doesn't swing that way, and she has a fiance. But I still have my imagination.  I wonder if you get bad karma by having dirty thoughts about your boyfriend's sister...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Last night my car was hit by a drunk driver. I was at Jordan's for their Christmas party when around 11:00 P.M. his brother heard a loud crash. He got outside in just enough time to see a truck driving away and my car that had been parked on the side of the road in the grass pushed 25 feet backwards into the middle of the road. Jordan went out there with him, and when they came back in they told me what had happened. I just broke down in tears, and Jordan's dad called the police. The really bad part is that although I have insurance, it's minimal coverage so it doesn't pay for any damage done to my car. I went outside to look at the remains of my car, and I was just speechless. The front bumper and headlights were smashed and debris was everywhere. The hood was pushed up to the windshield, the engine was hissing, and the battery had a huge crack in it. The police said we could move the car into the driveway since it was a road hazard, but the transmission was so shot that we couldn't shift it out of park. I was just at a complete loss of what to do, and I called my dad to come over to see it and talk to the police with me. Jordan started examining my car with a flashlight and by a stroke of luck, found the license plate from the truck that had hit me beside my busted radiator! A small wave of relief came over me, though I was still horror-struck by what had happened. The police would be able to find who did this. We waited in the bitter cold for them to come. The temperature was well below zero. After what seemed like forever they came, and I talked to them. They told me they were going to go look for the guy who did this, and they were going to have the sheriff come over. So, more waiting in the cold. All I could think was, why me? And how am I going to get another car? If they catch the guy, his insurance will pay for the damage to my car, but it's absolutely totaled. There's no way my family can afford to buy another car, even if we do get some money from this. By about 1:00 A.M. we got a tow truck over to haul my car away to Rockton Auto Center. My dad drove me home, frozen and miserable. I went to my parents' room and told my mom what had happened and broke down crying again. She tried to make me feel better, but I was inconsolable for an hour. I hid in the bathroom with a box of tissues for I don't know how long. Finally my dad had me take some of my anti-anxiety medication, and my mom called me back into her room. I crawled into bed with her and our dog, Chloe, and she helped me calm down enough to go to bed. I slept for a really long time, and I didn't want to get up today. I was supposed to go with Jordan and his family to his grandparents' house, but I just wasn't feeling up to it. I called him and went back to bed and finally got up around 2:00 P.M. feeling just as depressed as I did last night but with a migraine. My mom told me today not to worry about the car situation and that we'll get it figured out. I certainly hope so.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I've done a lot of Harry Potter Sorting Hat quizzes, and I've found most of them to be rather inaccurate, poorly constructed, and not really pertaining to which qualities would put you in which house. You don't have to love blue to be in Ravenclaw, or be a total pushover to be in Hufflepuff. Not everyone in Gryffindor is a morally upright person. Just look at Fred and George! And I'm sure not everyone in Slytherin is an evil slave to Voldemort. So I did some searching on the magical internet and found a proper Sorting Hat Quiz. It placed me in Gryffindor, but I was also very close to being in Ravenclaw. Anyway, the quiz can be found here <a href="http://www.thealmightyguru.com/Reviews/HarryPotter/Docs/Quiz-House.html">[link]</a> Enjoy!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm eating a cherry strudel I just took out of the oven, and it's getting crumbs all over the keyboard. *sigh* On Friday night Jordan's mom, Mae, and I had a lot of fun baking cookies and making treats. I gave her an early Christmas present, which was a really cute 101 Dalmatians ornament, and then she gave me a Christmas pickle ornament. That really meant a lot to me. So now December 7th is our early gift exchange day. After that we started getting out ingredients for sugar cookies, and to our dismay we found that there was only one egg in the fridge, so Scott hadn't picked up eggs at the store like he said he would. Yeah, she was a little mad... Well, we went to Walmart to get eggs and we came out with that and a few bottles of wine with really cute labels. Buying wine based only on their labels is so ridiculously fun. ^_^ We got home and made sugar cookie dough, spritz cookie dough, and chocolate-covered pretzels. We made such a mess with the sugar and sprinkles for the pretzels. We tried sprinkling them on the pretzels over the trash so we wouldn't get stuff all over the stove, but colored sugar and sprinkles ended up all over the floor. Then Katie tracked in snow from outside and turned it into a watery sugary mess. Needless to say, my socks looked pretty bad from walking on it. Saturday night we did some more baking, and I used a cookie press for the first time. Spritz cookies are a little too buttery in my opinion, but they sure are fun to make! When it was time to cut the sugar cookies, we used a raccoon cookie cutter I found in honor of the raccoon that's living in the garage. Irish and Jarrett went out there with baseball bats to try to get the raccoon, but it was gone by the time they got there. Anyway, I picked up these awesome cookie stencils at a kitchen store in the mall and we used those on the cookies. We used them to put red sugar bows on holly leaves and green sugar Christmas trees on stars. We had been trying to get Jordan to come cut out cookies with us, so he finally cut out a few snowmen, but we didn't hear the timer go off when they were in the oven and they got really burned. We said it was his fault indirectly because he likes to burn everything anyway. ^_^ All in all, two fun nights. What isn't fun is the migraine I've had for the past two days. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":p" title=":p (Lick)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I had a dream last night that may prove to be a very good story or short novel, but it's missing some key parts. Here's what was established in my dream:<br />
<br />
The main character is a tomboyish girl from Miami Beach and is 17 years old. The story takes place in the 1960s. The main character is very carefree and not used to strict rules. In the middle of March during her junior year, she moves to a small town that's still experiencing winter. Somewhere in the midwest possibly? She moves there because of her dad's job. She attends the St. Frances Catholic High School because her parents believe it will give her a better education than the public high school there, which has somewhat of a bad reputation. At the Catholic school she finds the girls pretty dull and makes friends with three guys. Together they pull some crazy stunts that shake up the town, including one against the gym teacher who is a suspected lesbian. Of the main character's three friends, one is short and skinny and has been trying to be more than a benchwarmer on the football team, one is tall and lanky and is somewhat of a geek, and the ringleader of the group is medium-tall and comes up with a lot of their stunts and develops a crush on the main character. In gym class the main character wows everyone with her speed and skills in swimming.<br />
<br />
What I need from you guys are some ideas. First, I need a name for my main character, something that fits her personality and a little bit New Age. Then I need names for her three guy friends and a name for the gym teacher. I also need a name for the town and some ideas for stunts that the four friends pull. Most importantly, though, I need a problem and resolution in this story! If anyone can help me out it would be very much appreciated!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Updating of journal-ness! Last weekend I went to Geek Kon, and it was a small convention, but it was fun. There was a girl dressed as Rinoa who pretty much glomped me when she saw my Haruhi cosplay. She also thought my hair was a wig. >> Tons of people asked me if I knew the dance that plays during the end credits of Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, but unfortunately I don't. I really wish I did. Me and Jordan who cosplayed Kyon could have done the dance. *tear* I got four really cool prints when I was there. The artists were so nice. One even did a free chibi portrait of me. I also got addicted to Star Wars Monopoly... Anyway, it looks like instead of going to ACEN, I'll be going with Jordan to No Brand Con in April because we know more people that are going there. Also I've heard that No Brand is better than ACEN. I must investigate! lol<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I did some cleaning up in my gallery and scrapped a few things and deleted a few things. It looks a lot better now. I'm doing an art trade with a friend right now, and I still have to color the drawing I'm doing for her. It's digital, and with this one I've decided to make it pretty detailed, so I wish I had an entire day to myself to just sit down and work on it. Then I could get a big chunk of it done. Because digital coloring takes FOREVER! Especially when you have colored lineart thrown in the mix. I know it's going to look awesome when I'm finished, but it's going to take so long, and by the time I'm done, I will want to smite my computer for giving me so many headaches. I will get it done, though! I will persevere!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Today I was talking to a friend of mine, and she reminded me of things that people have said to me that really hurt. One that pertains to deviant art, a while ago I heard through the grapevine that one of my "friends" thinks I draw too much Disney fanart. You know what I have to say to them? I love my fanart, and I'm very proud of it. You have no right to say how much is too much, and if you don't like it, go somewhere else. Also, if you would actually take the time and LOOK beyond the first two pages or so of my gallery, you would see that I have a lot of other stuff, including some pencil drawings that are not Disney-related in any manner that I'm also very proud of. As for the rest of you who have said things that have hurt me and/or pissed me off (you know who you are) first of all, why would you say that kind of crap behind my back? You should know better that it would get back to me. Second, none of that stuff is true, and if you're going to be stubborn and still claim that it is, well go die in a fire.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Today has been an interesting day. This morning I got coffee, but for some reason, it didn't wake me up. Oh, but it was good... <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> I also got some weird breakfast sandwich at the gas station where I got my coffee. And lo and behold, it disagreed with me...majorly. I ended up going home after 4th hour.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletred:" title="Bullet; Red" /> NEVER BUY BREAKFAST SANDWICHES FROM GAS STATIONS, PEOPLE!!!<br />
<br />
Tonight was the opening night of <i>Grease</i>, which I went to with Jordan and Rachael. It was good and bad at the same time. The main reason it was bad was because Lindsey Hawks was cast as Sandy. Good Lord, that girl cannot act! And her singing...she may be in Concert Choir, but she should never try to sing in a 'pop' voice. It sounded simply terrible throughout the entire show. After the first few minutes I started thinking, <i>This is not worth five bucks...</i> Then John Swenson started singing, who plays Danny, and I found that this was worth the five dollars I had spent on my ticket. He and Aly Schaefer are who made the show enjoyable for me. Aly played Rizzo and did an excellent job. I swear that girl is practically perfect...<br />
<br />
After the show, Jordan and Rachael and I went to Beef a Roo and played cards. Egyptian Rat Screw, to be specific. It's a really fun game. So yeah, this was a pretty good day. Oh yeah, and before we went to the show, we watched <i>Phantom of the Opera</i>. Yes, a very good day indeed.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So I was hanging out with Rachael tonight and she paid for me to get my nails done. Yes people, Laura now has fake nails. o.O So I've basically had to relearn a lot of things, including typing. Grr... I haven't even tried drawing yet. (How am I going to do that??)<br />
<br />
I smoked weed with Rachael tonight for the first time in like a year. We were totally baked and went to the mall. I had forgotten how funny everything is when you're high. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/x/xd.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":XD:" title="XD" /> Everything tastes better, too, for some reason. o.O<br />
<br />
All in all, a fun night. I got some strawberry-kiwi chapstick, but no sex. I need to get laid...<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ So...I've been in a crappy mood lately. I'm really tired of people thinking that all I think about is sex. It's not true...I guess I kind of just fell into that role. I just happen to say everything that's on my mind. I think I'm in love with Jordan, but I don't think he's as crazy about me. I have work piling up around me and yet I keep slacking off. I really don't want to go to school tomorrow. I need a personal day... I know, I know, I slack off enough as it is. But I need a day by myself to get stuff done and catch up on sleep. I'm about to go out of my mind and everyone thinks I'm perfectly fine. I'm not fine!<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Today has been an interesting day...to begin with, I almost died twice this morning in my pursuit of a cappuccino, both within three minutes of each other. All because people don't know how to drive. I watched Silent Hill during my first class. Damn, that movie is amazing! For the most part during school today I felt a combination of depression and paranoia and something else. I heard everything going on around me, and I thought my ears would burst. It just drove me crazy. So many things going on, and for some strange reason I felt like crying, but I was totally numb. Everything was better when I got home. I just rested for a while and then went to go see Sumiko at the snow sculpting thing. I was there for a few hours, and then we went to go see Blood and Chocolate. Totally awesome movie! Completely different from the book, but still awesome. And I think I may be growing too fond of my boyfriend for my own good. I need to stop getting so close to people...I just end up heartbroken...<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Just joined the Princess Tutu Club, so I decided to put up the icons of the clubs I belong to. Check them out! Also, I know Princess Tutu sounds like a cutesy anime (and it is) but it's also got a dark story behind it. It is FREAKING AMAZING! Give it a chance. You can find episodes on You Tube. You should also read the Red River series (also known as Anatolia Story). It owns my life.<br />
