                <description><![CDATA[ I found a notebook of writing with material written from 2006. I was thirteen years old! There was also some stuff from 2007 and 2008, and I thought I'd share with you some of the worst moments of my childhood.<br /><br />You guys can vote over which one you think is the worst, because some of these are so bad I can't even tell. xD<br /><br /><br />1. ÂI dumped her,Â he said. ÂWhen we have sex, she shouts in Italian, and it really makes me paranoid.Â (2006) <sub> I was thirteen. I think there's something wrong with me.</sub><br />	<br />2. ÂHe took my wallet and ran off!Â Pam shouted. ÂSo I yelled, Patrick! Stop that right now! And he turned around and said, ÂHow did you know my name was Patrick?Â and I said I didnÂt, it was a lucky guess, and then he ran off some more. (2007) <sub>I was going to leave this one out, but I told it to <a href="http://schedgehogxx.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/s/c/schedgehogxx.png?2" alt=":iconschedgehogxx:" title="schedgehogxx"/></a> and she cracked up.</sub><br /><br />3. He was the kind of guy that planned out what kind of cereal he was going to have a week from now, and would get quite irritated if he wasnÂt able to /have/ his Honey Bunches of Oats when he wanted it. (ÂDamn it Mother, did you bother to /look/ at my schedule before you finished the last of the box yesterday? Now IÂm going to have to wear the striped socks!&#148<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /> (2007) <br /><br />4. ÂI say we blow up the whole country,Â Ji Xong said, but nobody paid him much attention because he said that last week too. ÂJust blow the whole thing plumb-up. WhoÂs with me?Â (No idea, but itÂs old.)<br /><br />5. Those who hold their tongues get nothing but wet hands. (2006!)<br /><br />6. Here I am, trying to protect all of you from impending beetle attacks, and all I get is a 'shut up, kid', or funny fish eyed stares. Like that. Yeah, buddy, that's right; I saw that. And that too! I swear, the next time any of you gets cut up, I'm just going to stand there and laugh as you bleed on the floor. Ha. Hahaha. (2006)<br /><br /><br />VOTEVOTEVOTE!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <b>EDIT</b>:<br /><br /><br />As many of you know, I have a severe case of Interstitial Cystitis of the kidneys and PKD, or Polycystic Kidney Disease. On an average day, I am a 4-5 in pain out of 10, and I take daily pain medication to help manage this.<br /><br />Unfortunately, if I am ever so unlucky to contract a UTI or a kidney infection, it overwhelms my already shaky bean-organs and shuts them down almost entirely. Think this sounds funny? Try peeing black septic sludge and sweating lemons.<br /><br />For the past three days, I've been at a constant pain level of over twelve. I can't keep any food down, I have nightmares when I sleep, and the sight of water makes me start to cry. I've already had IV antibiotics and almost had to stay the night at the hospital, and I've missed days of work and school.<br /><br />I'm sorry if I've been distant or loopy or depressed or snappy, but right now I'm in more pain than I've ever been in my entire life <i>and it's not going away.</i><br /><br />Please wish me luck. I've been crying and crying and I'll regret this later, but I really want to just complain a bit more about how much my life sucks. <br /><br /><3 Mary-Kate<br /><br /><br /><br />.....<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />I am so dead.<br /><br />My pain level has reached ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, and fifteen. Even moving is painful. Already upped my pain meds and they did nothing but made me sleep for over thirteen hours in a row.<br /><br />AND NOW I HAVE A FEVER. D8< I don't know if it's related to my kidney pain, but if it is, I'm so screwed because we can't go to the doctor.<br /><br />Ughhhhh. Start writing my eulogy.<br /><br /><b>ADDENDUM: FEVER IS GONE, STILL FEEL LIKE CRAP. WOULD KILL TO WATCH SOME EPISODES OF MY LIFE AS A TEENAGE ROBOT. I'M GOING TO BED.<br /><br /></b> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Alright, so a few months ago, I decided to make a small side account that had some of my more serious work, or work that wasn't quite polished enough for this account.<br /><br />I completely forgot about it, UNTIL TODAY, when I found out I got a DD on that account!<br /><br /><span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow" ><a href="http://jellydish.deviantart.com/art/The-Lisp-100571374"><img src="http://th09.deviantart.net/images/150/shared/poetry.jpg" width="150" height="125" /></a></span></span><br /><br />I'M EXTREMELY HAPPY.<br /><br />But then I thought, is this against the rules? Are we even allowed to have side accounts? Am I allowed to go on it now and redirect the notes and questions I got back to this account?!<br /><br /><br />Thank you SO, SO much to <a href="http://iscariot-priest.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/i/s/iscariot-priest.gif" alt=":iconiscariot-priest:" title="iscariot-priest"/></a> and <a href="http://ladylincoln.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/l/a/ladylincoln.jpg" alt=":iconladylincoln:" title="ladylincoln"/></a> for the DD that was rewared in June. You do not know how much it brightened my day.<br /><br /><b>Can anyone tell me if I'm going to get in trouble for this?</b><br /><br /><br /><b>EDIT</b>: Phew. It's legal, I'm just an idiot. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> I really wish I could get one on the account I'm proud of though. I'm still completely floored. Thanks everyone!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Every day in my class, a friend and I draw various little doodles and write various little stories, usually on the sides of our work paper. I told her I'd write her a story and she said she wanted one called Pig*Land and to do whatever I want with it.<br /><br />So the next day I doodled some designs for the story and wrote a few funny paragraphs, and before I know it, my class went insane.<br /><br />Suddenly, everyone's talking about the girl writing a story or a comic called Pig*Land, and everyone wants to know what it's about and <i>everyone starts digging through my notebook.</i><br /><br /><sub>Note: I'd fight a monkey before I'd allow someone I don't know to read my notebook.</sub><br /><br />So despite that minor drawback, I now entertain my class each day with a story about a little girl wizard who hands out "Peace Marbles" to pigs and turns them back into real people.<br /><br />Why? I don't know.<br /><br />I'm officially the Pig*Land girl.<br />This is not a title I desire.<br />It is kind of cool though.<br /><br /><br />The point of all this is that the story is adorable, funny, and cute, and <i>I can't even post it here.</i> It really has no literary merit whatsoever, and people probably wouldn't think it's funny unless you're there when they make me perform it with funny voices and stuff.<br /><br />If you're wondering why I'm not posting, it's because I'm off writing a children's story THAT WILL NEVER EXIST.<br /><br />/fumes<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Remember, birth order doesn't matter.<br />Inbred stupidity does.<br /><br /><br />Alright, so after some browsing on website-making and coding (a sort of back-hobby of mine) I accidentally downloaded a virus that turned off my firewall and added boobtube and youporn icons all over my desktop. <br /><br />LATER I realized that all of my video files, music fles, and dear lord, my poor Mystery Box of Writing were renamed with various levels of pornographic content.<br /><br /><sub>There is beluga porn out there.</sub><br /><br />On a happier note, I've never laughed so hard in my life.<br /><br /><br />I'm on a writing <i>roll</i> ladies and gentlemen and Ralf, and what this means is that you'll suffer an increasing amount of comedy spam, enabled by Terry Pratchett and this new book I got appropriately titled "How to Write Comedy."<br /><br />It lists a lot of Seinfeld, but I'll just let that go.<br /><br /><br /><b>PLEASE ANSWER</b><br /><br />If you were stuck in a do-or-die situation with a person who didn't speak your language, would you:<br /><br />A. Teach them yours.<br />B. Learn theirs.<br />C. Communicate solely on body language and never speak a word.<br /><br /><br />That is all.<br /><br />Good night!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ ...Then shuffle the deck. ;D<br /><br /><br />School is absolutely amazing. I have <i>the</i> best AP Lit class ever, with all of my new friends and an amazing teacher. We just finished <u>The Handmaid's Tale</u> (one of my favorites) and <u>One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest</u> (not my favorite, but our activities for it were fun.)<br /><br />Gym is actually a class I really enjoy. I shouldn't think it's so much fun to run. Math is simple as crap, easy as that. And Latin...<br /><br />I LOVE LATIN. I am currently one of the worst Latin nerds ever. Latin III is looking like it's going to be a complete cinch. It's always the odd years of languages that rock.<br /><br />Yeah, I miss ASL, but I have Brant in my lunch and my ASL teacher is willing to work with me to help me prepare for my interview with Gallaudet. (If I apply. Which I might. Which I will. Might.)<br /><br />I've been flirting with both a guy named Johnny and ******, and someone definitely called me out on it. (On the plus side, both of them were just like, "Keep doing it, I'm game.") SO.<br /><br />All in all, very productive-looking year. <br />But I wish I was still at my old school.<br />But this year rocks.<br /><br />It's looking to be a very good year for comedy writing, so check around and I'll start getting back into the habit of dA instead of just pressing the 'Delete - All' button. (We're all guilty of it.)<br /><br /><br /><b>CHALLENGE</b><br />Bet you've missed these. ;D<br />In English, there are a small number of words that have meanings that are complete opposites. 'Trim' can mean cutting excess or adding on.<br /><br />Give me an example, no matter how outlandish. You can stretch it as much as you want.<br /><br />(Mine were stationary and remote.)<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <b>Life</b><br /><br />I got my first filling yesterday, which would have been fine if in the process I hadn't learned that I was allergic to Novocain. My face swelled up golfball-size and my right eye refused to open, but the swelling is down now.<br /><br />I feel like I'm teething. I'm chewing on everything in sight. ;__;<br /><br />In other news, Disney was fantastic, work is long and difficult, and I have amazing plans of the 3rd, 4th, and 5th of July. I feel so special. <br /><br /><br /><b>WRITING REQUEST</b><br /><br />I <i>NEED</i> someone to write with me. Call it writing partnership, role playing, shared story ideas, I don't care. I'm looking for some quick fun on email (now <i>that</i> sounds fantastic) and I'm willing to hound you all for it.<br /><br />What I'm craving:<br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletred:" title="Bullet; Red" /> Twisted version of Rumpelstiltskin.<br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletred:" title="Bullet; Red" /> Twisted version of any <i>other</i> fairy tale.<br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletred:" title="Bullet; Red" /> Circus anything. (I'm predictable.)<br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletred:" title="Bullet; Red" /> Yume Nikki. Ahaha, none of you know what that is.<br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletred:" title="Bullet; Red" /> Storyteller/Patron, Peter Pan, imaginary friends, and all that other stuff I already hint about in my gallery.<br /><br /><br /><b>You might want to know.</b><br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green" /> The word 'bed' looks like a bed.<br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green" /> If you abbreviate the word down  as 'dn,' and then flip it upside down, it says 'up.'<br /><br />Tell me if you know any more of those.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <a href="http://hinoneko.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/h/i/hinoneko.png?2" alt=":iconhinoneko:" title="hinoneko"/></a> recently announced that each day she would try to find a worth piece of art and suggest it for a Daily Deviation. I've recently seen many complaints over recent DD's, and at least we know the issue isn't <i>new.</i><br /><br /><b><strong>FAQ #873:</strong> <a href="http://help.deviantart.com/873/">What do I do when I disapprove of a Daily Deviation feature?</a></b><br /><br /><b>STEP ONE.</b> Don't you dare complain to the recipient. Nobody <i>asks</i> for a Daily Deviation. It's a showcase based on a suggestion. If you comment with, "This sucks," or "Why was this a DD?" expect to get your head flamed off. <br /><br /><b>STEP TWO.</b> Browse galleries. Not just of your friends, not just of famous people. Try to find a piece that doesn't already have three thousand favorites and comments. When you find the piece, celebrate.<br /><br /><b>STEP THREE. THIS IS IMPORTANT.</b> Note a suggestion to the CORRECT person. Only certain people on dA have the ability to create Daily Deviations, and they're often broken down into categories. <br /><br /><b><strong>FAQ #18:</strong> <a href="http://help.deviantart.com/18/">Who selects the Daily Deviation and how is it chosen?</a></b><br /><br /><b>STEP FOUR.</b> Wait. The staff might not get back to you immediately, or ever. Remember that they're bombarded with suggestions each day. If yours isn't chosen, move on. Don't suggest the same thing again unless you're sure they never received your note. <br /><br /><br />SEEMS LIKE COMMON SENSE, HUH? Well the majority of the confusion and aggravation BEHIND DD's is that people don't have any. So go out there and suggest some! It'll make you feel good. ;D<br /><br />(Each day I'll be posting here the things I suggest, so look back from time to time!)<br /><br /> ]]></description>

What you <i>should</i> know is that a library job, while minimum wage and warranting terrible, terrible hours, is a 'stepping stone' job that I'm privileged to have.<br /><sub>lololol yeah right.</sub><br /><br /><br />The best part of my job would be the kids table.<br /><br />There is a kids table. On it are five puzzles.<br /><br />One thing I've learned over my time at the library is that kids find it much more fun to throw the puzzle pieces on the ground or hide them in books than they do actually putting the puzzle together.<br /><br />So EVERY NIGHT at 8:45, it's my job to scrounge up all the puzzle pieces and put the puzzles together. And EVERY NIGHT I think "I love this damn job."<br /><br />Except tonight, when 8:45 rolled around and a four year old Filipino girl had not only put together the puzzles, but stacked them up into a neat little stack.<br /><br />The only good thing about my job, wilted.<br /><br />Just thought you should know.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v222/blindwind/journalhead-1.png"><br /><br />So wonder where IÂve been? This pretty much sums it up.<br />EVERY spare moment of EVERY hour of EVERY day IÂve been writing letters, making phone calls and being an all-around bitch to get back something that was taken from me and my friends. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frustrated.gif" width="40" height="25" alt=":frustrated:" title="frustrated" /><br /><br />As many of you know, my new high school is a feeder school for twenty-five Deaf and Hard of Hearing students. Twenty-five students pulled out of their district to come to our school, virtually isolated from the majority of hearing students. While we currently have interpreters, the facts remain the same.<br /><br /><b>There was a language barrier.</b><br /><br />When an ASL foreign language class was opened not for just the Deaf/HoH but for the hearing students as well, a series of classes made EXTRAORDINARY growth in learning and appreciating American Sign Language and Deaf Culture, and bridged the gap between those twenty-five students and the rest of the school.<br /><br /><b>There was a language barrier.<br />There was a language barrier and we broke it.</b><br /><br />As of one week ago, our class has received news that our ASL program has been discontinued indefinitely. While two semesters are required by law, any class higher than that has lost its accreditation and will not be offered. When we asked, we were told that <b>because of ASLÂs simplicity, two SEMESTERS of American Sign Language is an ample amount of time to become fluent, unlike the six to seven YEARS offered to French and Spanish.</b><br /><br />So what does this all mean?<br /><br />WeÂve been hit with discrimination. The fact is that not enough people know that American Sign Language is a REAL language with its own grammar and dialects. ItÂs not universal. And itÂs currently used by hundreds of thousands of people. YouÂre not just going to Â pick up Â sign language from occasional television any more than you will Â pick up Â Mandarin Chinese from fortune cookies. The gap that we were bridging has once again been swung open.<br /><br />We are doing EVERYTHING that we can to raise money. WeÂve written about every famous rich person we can think of, including Obama and Oprah. xD WeÂve contacted Lifetime to see if this is even a possible movie.<br /><br /><br />If you would like to help, raise awareness, donate, offer to be a business sponsor, please contact me IMMEDIATELY. We are especially looking for any business willing to raise awareness about this cause.<br /><br />DonÂt think you can do anything? Think again. WeÂve got a Facebook group. ;D<br /><br /><br />The truth of the matter is that we're pressed for time. The county isn't giving us the information needed to make this work, because they don't want to spend the money on it. Just consider what you can do to help, and every little bit will do.<br /><br />Thank you.<br /><br />Mary-Katherine<br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v222/blindwind/journalfoot.png"></img></img> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v222/blindwind/journalhead-1.png"><br /><br />TOMORROW.<br /><br />Birthdays are always very special in our house. Christmas and other gift-giving holidays don't amount to much, and are seen more as a community pool of little things rather than focused attention. And damn it, I like my presents, so what.<br /><br />I've already gotten all of my wondeful presents from family and friends, but nothing beats the actual DAY where you're on top of the world. I can't wait for tomorrow, although, since I've been at a new school, nobody will really know about it. e___e If I was at my old school someone would have gotten me a balloon or a crown.<br /><br />REGRET. REGRET. REGRET.<br /><br />Presents I've gotten:<br />YORSHI SHRIPPERS- <a href="http://purpletriforce.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/p/u/purpletriforce.gif?1" alt=":iconpurpletriforce:" title="purpletriforce"/></a><br />The Carebear movie- <a href="http://schedgehogxx.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/c/schedgehogxx.gif?1" alt=":iconschedgehogxx:" title="schedgehogxx"/></a><br />(And other assorted terrible movies.)<br />Kirby Super Star Ultra<br />Professor Layton<br />A venus flytrap (and soon a cactus!)<br />More I've probably forgotten.<br /><br />Someone asked me what I wanted if they were to draw or write me something, but I figure you know the gist.<br /><br />Wants:<br />Comedy writing.<br />Comedy pictures.<br />Peter Pan anything.<br />Marietta/Rosco shipping. (KIDDING. JESUS, KIDDING. DON'T DO IT.)<br /><br />Anything else?<br /><br />Well, a tree fell on the side of our house and our back fence blew away. Scared the crap out of my sister's guide dog, that's for damn sure.<br /><br /><br />Tell me about your day! 8D<br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v222/blindwind/journalfoot.png"></img></img> ]]></description>

That pun came to me in a dream, believe it or not.<br /><br />So this is journal has nothing to do with writing, and is mostly me babbling about how frustrated and insanely happy I am. I'll be a teenager for the rest of the journal, so watch out.<br /><br />1. I got a venus fly trap. I haven't thought of a name for her yet.<br />2. I got Professor Layton for my birthday. If anybody wishes to know, you CAN fit a square peg in a round hole if you move these three matches diagonally while getting two wolves and one chicken to sail across a river. <br />3. My dog learned what 'squeak it' meant. No, that is not a cute thing.<br />4. Finished <u>The Ear, the Eye, and the Arm.</u> It was not nearly as amazing as a futuristic sci-fi novel set in Africa should have been.<br /><br />I've been writing, writing, writing. Having terrible nightmares about tapeworms and lint (LINT!) coming out of my ears, and nearly cried at least five times today over the most stupid things. (They were out of peach tea. Someone looked at me wrong. I got a phone call. I hit my elbow, etc.)<br /><br /><br />Spare me a pun or a joke. Think up a name for my flytrap. Do something <i>for</i> me, because I feel like being extremely selfish, thank you very much.<br /><br /><br />Over and out.<br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v222/blindwind/journalfoot.png"></img></img> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v222/blindwind/journalhead-1.png"><br /><br />It was really great guys. ;D Not amazing terrific fantastic, and I'm not a gigantic Tim Burton fan, but it was cute and made me happy.<br /><br />Then we went into the lobby and played the claw machine and won SIX (count 'em!) SIX rubber ducks.<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletred:" title="Bullet; Red" /> Princess Duck, spouting a crown.<br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletred:" title="Bullet; Red" /> Devil Duck, spouting horns.<br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletred:" title="Bullet; Red" /> Patriotism Duck, spouting an Uncle Sam ensemble.<br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletred:" title="Bullet; Red" /> Leopard Duck, who has a bunch of spots.<br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletred:" title="Bullet; Red" /> Soccer Duck, who we tried to pawn off on a little girl, and even she didn't want him. Poor Soccer Duck.<br /><br /><br />Anyways I had to run home and immediately get all of the music from Coraline. Well, first I brought the house down with mad drumming skills with <a href="http://kurkurkur.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/k/u/kurkurkur.gif?5" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconkurkurkur:" title="kurkurkur"/></a> and our friend, but then I sent them home and got all the music.<br /><br /><br />====<br /><br />Can't draw.<br />Can't write.<br />Having trouble doing just about anything. xD<br /><br />I think I have carpal tunnel. My wrist creeping up to my fingers on my left hand has these little spurts of pain whenever I move it. Because I shelve at the library and have been signing more, and I type like a madwoman even if I have nothing to show for it, I'm afraid I either sprained something or wore down to Carpal Tunnel.<br /><br />Anybody have experience with this?<br /><br /><br /><br />====<br /><br /><b>Challenge Ahoy!</b><br /><br />Prove to me in three steps that I have a box of crayons in my rooms. Use any methods possible.<br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v222/blindwind/journalfoot.png"></img></img> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v222/blindwind/journalhead-1.png"><br /><br />This is sort of a rant, but I know it applies to some of you.<br /><br />9 times out of 10, I post on deviantart for the experience. I like the critique. If I post a deviation for an ego boost, I make sure to tell people. xD<br /><br />This might seem stupid to a lot of people, thinking that I'm complaining because people comment and favorite my stuff, but IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, DON'T FAVORITE IT. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/lmao.gif" width="19" height="21" alt=":lmao:" title="Laughing my ass off!" /><br /><br />Don't feel obligated. Believe me, my feelings won't be hurt. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/rolleyes.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":roll:" title="Roll Eyes" /><br /><br />That being said, thank you for the comments and faves. xD<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />I. DID. AMAZINGGGG.<br /><br />I haven't gotten the real scores yet, just the outline. 93 percentile in English, 95 percentile on my essay aaaaaaand <sub>63 percentile in math. So I suck at math. Shoot me.</sub><br /><br />ANYWAY.<br /><br />MY SCORES QUALIFY ME FOR PRE-MED.<br />PRE-FREAKING-MED.<br /><br />I don't want to go pre-med, it just sounds really impressive to me. ;DD<br /><br /><br />So for all of you people who haven't taken their SATs yet, don't worry. I didn't study and I'm in heavennnnnn.<br /><br /><br />(This is a total gloating journal, I admit it. I was just so afraid I was going to do terribly because I didn't study.)<br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v222/blindwind/journalfoot.png"></img></img> ]]></description>

Suddenly, dA had logged me out, which wasn't that big of a deal, it happens to me a lot with my stupid internet connection.<br /><br /><br />Well f***.<br /><br /><br />Suddenly I've spammed a dozen people, and if you're one of them, I apologize.<br /><br /><br />And if you get any weird comments from my art account, don't answer them.<br /><br /><br />Has dA made a statement about this?<br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v222/blindwind/journalfoot.png"></img></img> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v222/blindwind/journalhead-1.png"><br /><br /><b>EDIT</b><br />((My subscription is running out in the next two weeks, and I'm mightily disappointed. D8< I've grown to love my sub, as well as being a beta tester. Oh well.))<br /><br />EDITEDIT:<br /><br />Someone amazing donated me a three month subscription. (And like a moron, it took me a whole day to notice.) <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> This is amazing, thank you so much!<br /><br /><br />As of 2/1/2009, I will be doing everything in my power to write and complete a novel of my own. <br /><br /><u>Candlesticks</u>, first drafted in July of 2007, found success in the small excerpts that I had posted on deviantART. In September of that same year, I entered and successfully completed my NaNoWriMo goal of 50,000 words with <u>Candlesticks</u> as my subject. The plot spun out of control, ended with little to no closure, and left the entire project seeming like a childish attempt at literature.<br /><br />Fortunately, <u>Candlesticks</u> will now be edited and rewritten so that it will resemble only a ghostly reminder of its failure two years ago. Rosco's Circus will be put on an indefinite hold until I get the basics of my new goal down on a Word Document. And my deviantART gallery will soon be riddled with nonsensical excerpts. ;D<br /><br />If all goes well, <u>Candlesticks</u> will be a completed literature project aimed for young adult readers somewhere by August of this year.<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bow.gif" width="21" height="16" alt=":bow:" title="Thank you! Thank you!" /> If you took the time to read any of that, I congratulate you. Obviously this is more exciting for me than any of you.<br /><br /><br /><b>CHALLENGE:</b><br /><br />If <b>any</b> of my watchers starts either a literature or artistic project of their own, they will be listed here from now until August. ;] Got a story idea? Plot it out! I'm dying to see it.<br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v222/blindwind/journalfoot.png"></img></img> ]]></description>

Was. <b>Amazing.</b><br /><br />Words cannot describe how I spent the three hours in that tent completely slack-jawed out of awe. I love the circus and I always have, but this was my first CdS performance and I was in <b>LOVE.</b><br /><br />The music gave me chills, the acts were <b>delicious</b> in everything that they did, and the whole thing was flawless. (My mother thought it was pointless-- I nearly killed her.)<br /><br />The name of the show was <b>KOOZA</b>, a play on a Sanskrit word meaning 'box' or 'treasure.' A young boy with a broken kite receives a mysterious package that unleashes a great sultan from a chest. It all revolved around the Sultan's warriors and their performances. Until the evil Rat King takes over and THIS SOUNDS REALLY LAME, BUT I ASSURE YOU I WAS SHITTING BRICKS.<br /><br /><br />Anyway, hysterical clowns. <br />Heart-breaking moments. <br />Best night of my life.<br />(Lololol I'm buying the soundtrack. I already bought the prettiest CdS notebook on the face of the planet and a hand-crafted mask. I'M  ON TOP OF THE WORLD.)<br /><br /><br /><br /><b>CONTEST OVER</b><br /><br />It was a great run, guys, and I owe it all to you! Fifteen astounding entries and twelve gloriously donated prizes equals a very successful contest.

                <description><![CDATA[ <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v222/blindwind/journalhead-1.png"><br /><br />So today I go to school as normal, in a rather good mood.<br /><br />Sit next to World's Self-Proclaimed Number One Weeaboo. (Did you know ohayo means good morning? Ohayo means good morning. Desu. Ohayo! You think I can call the teacher Sensei? Ohayo! It sounds like Ohio, 'cept it's not lololol.)<br /><br />Got up to go to second period and doubled over in pain.<br />It was <i>excruciating.</i> For those of you who don't know, I live with a kidney condition, and have pain daily. I take a pretty high dose of pain medication, and I have a pretty good pain tolerance.<br /><br />I thought I was going to die. xD<br /><br />So I manage to make it to class and ask my new teacher if I could go to the nurse. First year teacher, second day she's ever seen me before, and she says "Go sit down."<br /><br />I couldn't sit down. I had to lean against the wall.<br /><br />Finally the girl who sits next to me was like, "God, just leave. You look like you're in labor." I hightailed it outta there.<br /><br />My mother, also a first year teacher, is at work. You know how damn hard it is for her to leave? I felt guilty as hell calling her up, saying, "Something's wrong, I need to go to the doctor."<br /><br />An hour later I was in the hospital with an immediate antibiotic IV and under pain meds.<br /><br />Went home, got an email that I was WRITTEN UP for skipping class. First thing tomorrow, they expect me to go to the administration's office for a detention slip. (Obviously I can't go to school, but still.) NOT ONLY did the nurse email my teacher's telling them I was sick, but then my mom phoned the teacher whose class I left.<br /><br /><br />Bitch.<br /><br /><br /><br /><b>Comedy Contest</b><br /><b>DATE EXTENDED</b><br />"The rules would be just that simple.

I strongly recommend his gallery to anyone who has ever said that poetry isn't their style.<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletred:" title="Bullet; Red" /> <a href="http://celeocanth.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/c/e/celeocanth.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconceleocanth:" title="celeocanth"/></a> Dead account with the most amazing comedy pieces you've ever read.

I know I'm just a bit anal about the thought of... Sniffing... Meat... And it's really hard for me to get over.<br /><br />So what should I do? Overcome my smell sensitivity? Ask her politely to stop? I feel guilty because it's really one of my few pet peeves, but I know I'm not the only one a bit freaked out by the habit.
