Right. Anyway.

So sorry if you've been looking for me... well... I'm here now, so that's really all that matters.
And I AM working on stuff, if that pleases you too- I had this crazy wacko idea for a rotating moon which turned out to be even crazier and more wacko than I first imagined, so that is gonna be a while. In the meantime I will try to make beautiful things for you all. Suggestions MIGHT help *coughGIVEMESOMEIDEASNOWPLZcough*...

Yeah, SCHOOL, anyhow. I'm a HIGH SCHOOLER NOW! HAW.

That is basically it. Bai.

Translating to...
I can't hear you because I HAVE A BANANA IN MY EAR!

That is my epic realization of the day.

Now, let's get down to business.
[To defeat... THE HUNS! WHAP WHAP!]

My computer is RETURNED from the dungeon of techdom, and I am happy. Unfortunately, we're going away for a week. I promise I'll have something new out when I get back... seriously.

Other than that, I can't think of anything. So that shall be the end.

Currently sort of-pixeling (it's kinda done, kinda not) ~Spiderweaver's birthday present. Even if it's not your birthday, you can have one if you want! Just say so.

ALSO AS OF TODAY IT'S 's BIRTHDAY!!!! Everybody go wish her happy birthday and give her a few good-luck smacks. XD

ALSO there's only, what, a week and a half of school left? HELLZ YEAH. I cannot wait to get out of here.
I can, however, wait to get the report card. T_______T

According to the Pedia of Wiki, it only happens once a year when all the virgin queen ants and males go around and try to make delicious ant babies.

Not pretty.

It's incredibly hard to concentrate with all these f*cking ants flying around. Both figuratively and literally. And they're concentrating in little bunches everywhere... who knows what they're doing T_______T

That is, at least until I think of some way to charge, or the science teacher decides to have a maniacal homework spree.

It just brings me so much JOY to make pixel-thingies. When I stop having fun, you start having to pay.
Not really. I'll never stop having fun!

But if you really insist on paying (how I have no earthly idea), sure. You choose.

Categories include:
Any and all inanimate objects, no animals or people. Plants are fine.
Protozoans, maybe. There are cute amoebas out there.
Comes with bonus cute face. If you don't want a face, it doesn't have to be there, though. But I like 'em. So if you don't speak up, it'll be there.
If your username is short enough, I'll even put that on too. (ps: I think 16 characters is all that'll fit. My username's 16 characters, and it barely fits.)

HOORAY! I just got really ecstatic.

and your father smelt of ELDERBERRIES.

Okay. Now to address the things I've been meaning to address but haven't because I'm incredibly lazy like that.
1. I have 89 devs unread currently... so don't expect any comments from me. I am lazy. And you know that.
2. If I haven't been commenting on your journals... that's because I'm also too lazy. (If you don't read this one in return, then that's all okay!)
3. I have not had any poetry ideas since, like, 2 months ago. So that's gonna be a while.
4. I STILL need to do ~Zieza's kiriban, T_T It'll be there before the end of April, I hope...
5. DO U LIEK MUDKIPZ?!! CUZ I HERD YOU DO!!!!!!

Okay. That is all.

(Am currently riding a post-math-competition high... STATEWIDE, baby. Though our school's relatively small so our only competition was really a buncha hick places. Oh well. We pwn'd.)
PS: If you watch Dancing with the Stars... vote Marlee, Kristi, and Jason. Here's to hoping none of them get eliminated tonight. D:

I have a lot of random pictures I made on CS3, but as of yet am too lazy to upload. They're not very skillful... I cheat by making minimalistic things. XD

But I might put 'em in scraps.
[link] YOU SHALL GO PLAY IT.
BECAUSE THE CC IS A LIE... (If you want some background info, go play Shift 1 as well.)

I think I suspected it for a while... it looked completely fake... and people whose poetic 'talent' I was previously unaware of [read: they suck] were winning awards.

So then I check my email today, and what have we here but a newsletter saying I have been selected to join the 'upper echelon of poets and writers' whose members 'literally circle the globe'.
Then they wanted me to pay 59.95 plus 9.00 shipping and handling to buy a shiny-ass pin saying 'oet Fellowship'. Plus it was signed with a bogus name [Nigel Hillary] connected to a bogus publishing company [Noble House Publishers] (of which I am tempted to follow up with 'in a bogus country' but England's not bogus. Or is it?)

FRAUDZORZ. Apparently, they're the ones behind the spam accounts who send you notes saying 'I love your poetry, I think you could win this contest! [insert bogus link here]'. Makes a lot of sense, doesn't it?

So I shall simply do my humble part to inform you not to submit your junk there. (I already did. But whatever. Nobody actually votes for the shit floating around there... no seriously! It's really fun to just sit and read all the bad poetry.)

PS: Don't go see 'The Other Boleyn Girl' with your parents. Okeyday? Much pornage.

I have, really, nothing else to say, except for...


NI!

1,313 pageviews. (13 is my lucky number.)

You can have a poem if you want, but I have writer's block currently, so unless you want a pile o' crap, don't bother.

I can, however, make rudimentary chibi objects, and maybe a
caveman-quality pixelart (possibly animated.)

Basically, winners' choice. Because I'M BORED!

Okay... so I used the whole animation frame thingamajigger and made this insane, dumb, yet awesome animation, and it's supposed to be my icon, but IT'S NOT ANIMATING! I even went through and hosted it on Photobucket... but IT STILL WON'T FREAKING ANIMATE ON dA. WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY???!!!

[edit: made different file. it works now. happy happy joy joy!]
-----------------------------------------------
That's right! I JUST GOT CS3.
In all truth... I didn't buy it... we had a h4xx0rz version at home. So I am not 300 dollars poorer!

BUT IT IS AWWWWWWWWWESOME. Now I can actually do every step of those high-tech tutorials! (Sure, all the smexy pen pressure functions would be nice if I had a tablet, but that's gonna take a while...)

Pen tool RULES. Sure, it's kind of annoying at times, but the lines are so PRETTY! Aahaa! Though I still haven't figured it all out yet... that's gonna take another week.

But still!

FIRST WILDCARD TEAM TO WIN A SUPER FREAKING BOWL.

TAKE THAT, TOM BRADY!!

And Don Shula (the coach of the only fully undefeated team, the 1972 Miami Dolphins) shall continue to sip his champagne.

Bill Belichick is a butthole- I mean, there was still 1 second left on the clock and he was so ashamed he ran into the locker room.
I knew there was something wrong with him... with Spygate and all? Come on.
Plus, his cheeks bounce. That is simply scary.

Oh well, go NFC buddies!
There's always the Pro Bowl... but that's lame. Nobody tries, because they don't want to break a nail.

It's true.

And most of the commercials sucked this year... I feel so let down.

There is no 'right' way to shade. Ha ha. I don't care if you think it looks orange, *poke * I like it.
Whatever, I may use an insane and Amuria-esque amount of burning and dodging (which I don't. See for yourself.) but I enjoy it that way! Okey? Okey.

I rest my case.

And cleavage shadow should just be banned.
Nobody needs to be studying the gradient of anybody's boobs anyway.

I have recently become somewhat addicted to meez.com... I could refer you, but you can just go look yourself. The referral rewards are positively shitty for the referrer. XD (Geez. Now refer doesn't even look like a word.)

Giants vs. Packers today... NO COWBOYS, sob sob. The Packers are totally gonna win- the kickoff is gonna be like 0 degrees- do you know ANYBODY other than Brett Favre who can throw a ball in subfreezing weather?

[Edit: I EATETH MY WORDS. The Giants hath won by a field goal in overtime... who'da thunk it? Two years, two Super Bowls, two Mannings.]
Patriots vs. Chargers today too. Tell anyone you know that has tickets to PRINT OUT ONE OF THOSE BABY FACES. Over at [link] you can print out a face to hold up at the game, and at every third down you shout DAAAA-DDY!! DAAAA-DDY!! (It's playing off of the fact that Tom Brady is going around having illegitimate children left and right. It's true. <_<

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Patriots.

So, yeah. That's it, basically.

And for good measure, BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Patriots.

Edit: ALMOST TO 1000 PAGEVIEWS!! HOLY SHIT. YAY! I won't offer an official kiriban because chances are somebody's gonna pass it and not know to take a screeny, but if you do happen to provide one, you win! What you win, I have no idea. We'll deal with that bit later.

Wow. That was a really long sentence. (Edit: I made them several sentences... it was eating at me.)
I have developed a PHOBIA of her now. I actually start to tense up and hyperventilate when
A. The phone rings, because that might be her calling to tattle on me to my parents.
B. I have to actually go near her, because then that provides more opportunity for her to find a reason to call my parents AGAIN.
C. I have to go home from school, because my parents will most likely have received a call from her and have another ridiculous reason to start bitching at me.

My mother actually told me that theoretically, since I have no chores (which I do), I should be doing perfectly in school, and that she wishes there was one year where I didn't do anything wrong.
Messing up is NORMAL. I have messed up in other years and BEEN ABLE TO FIX IT BECAUSE THE TEACHER DIDN'T GO OUT ON A VENDETTA.

It does end up with me drowning my sorrows in Photoshop and football (but no more, the Cowboys have lost, T_T).

I feel sick.

How the hell?

Is 10 lost points really enough... seriously. I have been getting As and Bs on everything else. I think the teacher's DELUSIONAL... apparently she told my mother that the (god-forsaken) journals were worth 10% of the overall grade. And she told us, her wonderful students (yeah, right), that they were worth 10 points. 10 points and 10% are two COMPLETELY EFFING DIFFERENT THINGS.
Actually, my mother wasn't steaming mad, thank goodness. The defense that I had no idea I had lost enough points to get a C (which was wholly, completely, and utterly true- the point values that SHE gives out are completely screwed up)
If I ace the midterms I can get a B. But I should be getting a B already, I swear, so... you know what? Whatever. What they teach in science makes no difference to me whatsoever (mostly because they're not teaching anything) but I will be gravely punished.

I wish she used a percentage system.
I wish science was worth paying attention in.
I wish Al Gore would spare us all the horror of making mmm-rrrrmmmggh noises.

I am so sick of her.

So, yeah... I have rediscovered portrait retouching, and I actually think I'm okay at it (but hair transplants absolutely defy physics... so naturally I suck at that)- in which case you should be (hopefully) not worried at all when I start uploading random photomanips.

I'm too lazy to go rip CS3 off of the home computer... but Elements is starting to get on my nerves with its lack of the pen tool (GAH) and all, so I might do it next week.

I think, conversely (and technically unexplainably), my being away from the bane of existence (ET) has given me writers' block. Well, I know I just submitted a poem, and that's only because this is the Sunday before school -nuu!- but maybe my lack of things to be indignant at has caused my creative muscle to become phlobbofat. But it's back now. So no matter.

Small question: Is it normal to give somebody a gift card in a denomination so small it doesn't even buy one item at that store? Because my aunt (I know she means well, she's very nice, and she's about to get married- in Vietnam, no less- which completely dashes my hopes of ever being a flower girl, but I gave up on that when I was nine, so that's kind of redundant, and I just went on a really big digression right there, so I'm going to try to get back on track now) has given me these types of gift cards twice now. And now I'm confused.
(I checked the Abercrombie website... everything is at least $40. Why, then, do they sell $25 gift cards??!! COMPLETE AND UTTER IRRELEVANCY! CURSE THEM.)

Well, I can't think of anything else right now but I HAVEN'T STUDIED FOR EXAMS YET!! And somehow I know I should be scared as hell, but... I'm not. I think there's something wrong with me.

Oh well. Thank you, and good night.
(And I hope Eli Manning becomes mysteriously atrophied in time for the Cowboys game. I'm pretty sure the Giants are going to win in Tampa Bay... Jeff Garcia is playing like crap, and the defense is shorter than most of the Giants receivers... so yeah. Basically GO COWBOYS.)

And now for something completely different. ^^

A Series of Random Facts Ascertained From A Random Vacation.

Fact: Cafe du Monde roughly translates to 'mountain of powdered sugar'.
Explanation: So we went to said cafe in Nawlins. The place was BATHED in powdered sugar. All over the floor, the tables, heck, even the people were covered in a fine white dust. Still, the beignets were tasty. But scarfing one of those down covered in before you shake off most of the powdered sugar is enough to make you gag.
How do I know? I gagged.

Fact: The Mardi Gras videos don't tell you about everything that's on Bourbon Street.
Explanation: --namely, all of the STRIP CLUBS. >_< Actually, some of the strip clubs were on Iberville Street, but they were close enough.
Okay. So we were looking for this restaurant called 'Deeny's' (spelling?) which had been referred to us by the bellhop at the hotel. Off we go, to the corner of Bourbon and Iberville like he told us to... the first sign of danger was the nightclub with speakers on the outside and stencils of girls wearing nothing but cowboy hats. Well, Deeny's was nowhere to be found, so we kept going.
BAD IDEA.
The first strip club on the way out had a sign over the top that said 'Artist's Cafe' lit up in neon, and 'Girls' was above that, but had most conveniently burned out... which leads to-

Fact: Timbaland-mixed songs are surprisingly strippable...
Explanation: The Apologize remix was blaring out of the Artist's Cafe. Plus, there was a fat guy standing outside the door (I think he was the bouncer) sort of swaying to the beat... scary.
And then there were hordes more strip clubs as we kept looking for Deeny's, and some of them had pictures on the door of naked people behind well-positioned props... oh dear.
Even after ALL that, we didn't find Deeny's and we ended up eating at this rip-off seafood place. Oh well.

Fact: Bathroom feng shui is WAY more important than you think.
Explanation: Always make sure that the toilet paper is close enough that you don't pull a muscle every time you reach for it.
Plus, when deciding the location of a bathroom in regards to the rest of the building, don't put it way at the back... it's like running the gauntlet having everybody stare you down on the way to the loo.

Fact: The astronauts were right. Freeze-dried food tastes like crap.
Explanation: I tried it. 'Nuff said.

Fact: It's always nice to know you have the biggest sand castle on the beach... except for when that honor belongs to the kid next to you with the giant shovel.
Explanation: So I was at the beach. All I had was a weeny little plastic shovel/spade to dig with. Nevertheless, I dug and dug and soon enough I had a decently-sized castle-mabob.
My neck was getting stuck so I decided to take a look around, and what did I see off to the left but a FREAKING HUGE PILE O' SAND. It wasn't a castle... it was a PILE. Also accompanied by a boy with one of those heavy-duty grave-digger shovels... plastic, but WHO CARES?! IT WAS GIGANTIC.
It was a real downer. He and his pile and its accompanying hole big enough to be a chair really ruined my record-setting aspirations. I kept trying anyway... eventually the tide came in and filled up his hole, so he gave up on his pile. I had built mine farther inland (thanks to one of my earlier sand castles being hit by the surf... T_T) so I was pretty much safe.
And then I went back inside. So the castle got washed away. Oh well.

Fact: Always take the advice of a GPS with a grain of salt.
Explanation: It directed us to a restaurant that didn't exist... and made us go in circles around a perfectly gridded street system. Driver 0, Technology 1.

Fact: Sequel or not, National Treasure 2 is good.
Explanation: I watched it. 'Nuff said.

Okeyday, I can't think of anything else, so that's all. I leave you with-

MASS UPLOADERS, I HATE YOU.

Yeah... I'm leaving really early tomorrow morning, to come back sometime during the week... exactly what day I'm not sure. So don't be looking for me.

One of our kitchen shelves fell down right before lunch today... a bunch of ceramic bowls broke. >_<
The first words out of my mother's mouth: 'Damn the Chinese.'
It turned out that the little shelf bolt holder-upper was only metal on the outside... on the inside it was foam. Mean little corner-cutters.

Our satellite is an iffy thing... and Cartoon Network wasn't working this morning... you know what that means?! NO POKEMANS. T_T Oh well... I'll just have to go find it on Veoh. Whatever.

I DID make the Secret Santa. It's in scraps. It's not much to look at, though, so you don't have to if you don't want to.

COOKING MAMA = SUPAHKEWL. I got it from my brother... actually, I picked it out and he paid. But my dad was the one whose name is on the receipt, so my brother's just getting it taken out of his allowance.
Whatever... it is SO. MUCH. FUN! But peeling carrots is INSANELY HARD.

Okay... I can't think of anything else. See you all later.

Oh... by the way... KEANU REEVES WAS BUDDHA, just so you all know. If you didn't already.

NUMBER NINE JERSEYS COME IN WHITE AND BLUE... NOT PINK. Okay? Good.

Main rant: Adventures in English, Again. Featuring the infamous ET.
This is in parts. They occur chronologically, but at random times.
Once again, stuff in brackets like [] are my commentary.
Parte Unum
Me: *searches in vain for my vocabulary sheet* [It turned out that had BORROWED my sheet and didn't give it back to me till after class. >_<] I SWEAR I had it just now... I saw it right there! *points to corner of desk*
ET: Oh... great... you need another one, don't you?
Me: Er, yeah... I guess...
ET: *grunts and goes off to fetch another sheet* HERE.

Parte Duo
ET: Okay, girls, time to take out your brainstorming for your second draft!
Regen(): Um, ET, I did the brainstorming in my head. Is that okay?
ET: No. Nononono. You MUST write it down [because she can't trust us to do it otherwise, considering we're the slacking-never-doing-homework kids]. Zero for you. *turns to my table* So do you have your brainstorming?
Me: Well, no, I don't like to brainstorm that way...
ET: Zero for you. *pauses to look at her 'athetic' class* I'm going to make like Mme. [Teacher we had in 5th and 6th grade... Augh] and use the 24-hour rule. If you don't have your homework [which she assumes most of us never to have anyway] you can turn it in within 24 hours and not get a zero. Most of you will probably need to do that.

Parte Tres
ET: Okay girls. Everybody take out your 'hrases to save for a rainy day' and titles sheets. [We had started a 'rainy day'- read: PLAGIARIST sheet to take Mary Oliver's good ideas and use them because CLEARLY we're not smart enough to come up with phrases on our own. An extension of that would be the titles sheet... same thing, except for use as titles and not lines in poems.] Everybody, I hope you have twenty phrases because I TOLD YOU TO. [She didn't.] *looks at Sarah's list* Oh, you have six... okay. *looks at Jane's list* WHAT?! YOU HAVE ONLY SIX? I TOLD YOU YOU NEEDED TWENTY.
Jane: But... but... you didn't tell us you wanted twenty.
ET: I WROTE IT DOWN IN AN EMAIL! [She didn't. I checked.] If it's not there, I will EAT MY WORDS. BUT IT'S THERE. So you just need to start doing your homework, Jane. [It's horrid how inconsistent ET is.] *moves over to me, sees me scrawling extra phrases on my sheet* Oh. You're working on it right now, aren't you. [Although she had already SEEN the sheet weeks earlier, she decided to believe that I hadn't done it yet.]
Me: No, I'm just adding more phrases, I already had these...
ET: *grunts and moves on* [I swear she would have said 'zero for you' but no, all I got was a grunt.]

Parte Quattuor
ET: *looks lovingly at Haley* I must be such a witch! It must be so horrible for you to have to sit here and listen to me tell all the other girls to bring their homework. You always have everything ready for class.
Haley: O_O [That WAS her face... I saw it. She felt really bad.]

I think that was all the rantable moments. Jane was homicidal after that class. I was pretty darn close.

War ha har.)
(When you see stuff in brackets like [] then that's my post-class commentary.)
Setting: English. Time: Miserable Time (No duh, it's ENGLISH CLASS)
ET: So. I know it's hard, because you're just eighth graders [another sign she thinks we're stupid], but I want to see if you TRIED to add another layer of MEANING to your poem, and an interesting title [apparently you get bonus points if your title has nearly nothing to do with the actual content of your poem].
*slow raising of tired hands*
ET: Yes, Jane? So what extra layer did YOU use? What's your title?
Jane: Barbie Dolls to Computers.
ET: *blank look* So what's that supposed to mean?
Jane: Well, it's describing how I used to play with Barbies and now I play with computers... you know? Like growing up?
ET: *grumbles underneath her breath* Well that doesn't have any alternate meaning... *leer* [ET really hates Jane.]
Jane: *shrinks back in fear*
*ET goes on to criticize some more people but then heap love on some other people [she really likes it when you title your poem a month, apparently months are excellent metaphors]*
[Now then, for the interesting part... MY TURN.]
Me: *raises hand sleepily*
ET: Yes, Monica? So what did YOU title your poem? [I felt like she was waiting for me to say something she'd have appreciated. Like a month.]
Me: ...How to Fall... you know? From that Mary Oliver poem, right?
ET: Yes, yes... so what kind of extra meaning does THAT have? [At this point I think she was anticipating my not using multiple layers. I TRIED, dammit I TRIED.]
Me: Well, it has double meanings like this. How to Fall is literally falling on the ground but it ALSO means... *mental drumroll*
ET: So you're telling us how we should fall.
Me: No, not really, because the narrator of the poem is talking to the character. Not the reader.
ET: But HOW should WE fall? What are you TELLING us? *shrugs the length of both arms emphatically* [By this time, I KNEW she had it in for me.]
Me: But the narrator isn't TELLING us anything. It's just -sort of- THERE. You SEE it happen. The poem isn't addressed to the reader... [I was helplessly repeating myself.] It's sort of like... don't overestimate yourself because you won't be prepared to do anything wrong.
ET: Wait, say that again.
Me: It's like 'ride goeth before a fall.' I'm sure it's 'goeth'... yeah. Basically, that's what it is.
ET: *pauses* Does anybody understand what she's saying?
*overall silence*
Me: Nobody... figures.
Nina: *raises hand tentatively* Well, sort of. I see what she's trying to say.
ET: So explain it to us. [That was in a very imperious tone. I was worried.]
Nina: Well... it's hard to explain, I mean, I get it but it doesn't fit into words...
ET: See? There. Maybe you need to work on it. [Work on making it look more like Mary Oliver junk, I think. Everybody else's looked like a Mary Oliver poem. So they got off easier.]

Probably a bit rash, but from that point on I resolved never to make any corrections that ET would ever impose on one of my poems. I don't want myself Oliverized. I'd rather either do it myself or have you all lovely deviants help out. You aren't Mary Oliver minions. ET is.

Rant over. Read it and weep.
Or not.

Da rules go like this:
1. Post these rules
2. Each person tagged must post 8 random (hopefully interesting) facts about themselves
3. Tags should write a journal of these facts
4. At the end of the post 8 more deviants are tagged and named
5. Go to their page and leave a comment telling them that they're tagged. (I dunno about this, all the people I'm gonna tag watch me. Or so I think.)

1. I hate English SO MUCH. I have always hated English. No matter how many poems I post here, I will never enjoy English. (That's not so random, though. I think I've whined to everybody enough that they know. -.-)
2. I am a slight pyromaniac. Fire is GOOD.
3. Most people cry when they're sad. I cry when I'm pissed. (Heh, it's like eye-pissing. Gee, bad pun.)
4. I really dislike it when people try to nab my food. (nudge nudge ...) She tried to take my cookie once. I screamed... really loudly... the whole cafeteria turned around. <_<
5. I am a Stardoll addict. Call me lame if you will, but I like it anyway.
6. I have a morbid fear of tall white guys patting me on the head.
7. I have had the good fortune in my life to have a bunch of mouth doctors who I swear could be hypnotists. It annoys me greatly.
8. Bad grammar annoys THE LIVING CRAP out of me.

Secondly, I shall proceed with tagging now.

but you can do it too if you so wish. XD

Thirdly, I will from now on post my stuff ONLY when there's a buncha people on. It gets me a LOT more comments.

Fourthly, I have run out of stuff to say, and I have no rants about songs being stuck in my head. Peace out!

Issue 1- I know I haven't posted anything in over a week, that's because school breaks are not particularly conducive to good creative output... basically, I'm a lazy ass.
Issue 2- I'm gonna be gone Thanksgiving and Friday after that in Oklahoma. Hoo wee.

So I took it off...
but I ended up giving the card to / because I don't go to Starbucks much. So if the five bucks get erased, I don't feel bad.

Now the next candy contest is something holidays-related? HOW on earth do I write something holidays-related. I am completely and utterly stumped. I think I forfeit the candy...

but then again I haven't posted any devs in a week. I must post something at least once a week otherwise I will be a very bad artist... at least that's how I pace myself so that I actually post things. <_<

My birthday's in less than a month, and my wishlist is suffering from anorexia. Oh well. I can go without.

And I had to get my ears re-pierced this Tuesday... apparently in the space of one week one of my holes decided to scar up. Damn.

That's all, folks. (By the way, requests are welcome. I always need ideas.)

Christmas or Halloween: Halloween- It's way more black-filled.
Food or Drink: Well, you could survive longer without food than without drink, so I pick drink. (nerd point uppppppp...)

I probably am not going to make a deviation for us... T_T because how do you write a poem about the number six? Kind of difficult, I think...

A. We have Wednesday (tomorrow, as of writing) OFF. That just makes my day... we don't have to have school on Hump Day!

B. I got to take a penalty stroke. I missed it, me being trussed up in my Black Knight gear and it being way over where only a goalie who moves at the speed of light could reach. But still, it made me strangely happy... I don't know why.

C. I have a lot of creative juice oozing out of my bodily orifices. Hopefully I won't be so lazy as to leave off posting more devs until a few weeks from now... well there's one right now [link] you can go take a peeply at!

D. I think I'm getting high off of the medicine my brother was spraying all over the house... he found some expired inhaler prescriptions, so he went batsh*t crazy and was like WAAAHAHAHA spritzing asthma meds into the air everywhere...

E. (the nonexistent grade, and my science period!) Peace out.

F. for Edit: (Yes, aren't you proud of my spelling skills?) I'm not sure you remember it anyway, but don't forget about my humble little kiriban i'm offering for 273 pageviews just so that I don't get bored sometime in the next few weeks. <_<

Except, considering all I do is write, what prize would I give?
OMG.

I could do, like, a fill-in-the-blank LOVE POEM. So whenever you become unbearably smitten with someone, you just have to fill in the blanks in cursive, stick it onto a rose by stabbing a thorn through, and brandishing up the nose of your unfortunate crush!

Well, I guess it's a pick-your-own-prize thingamabob.
Okay... for random number...

*thinks of a random number*
how abouts 273??

Okay. Works for me.
(By the way, joo needs to post a screenshot of your achieving said number in order to win your (utterly random and likely very forgettable) prize.

everybody sit tight... this is gonna be LONG.
I think I'll do one journal entry per day of said odyssey.

previews (HAHAHA... sorry)

walking in on two people about to make out voraciously!
almost purchasing dehydrated moose crap!
being briefly stalked by a supposed druggie!
ALMOST WINNING BINGO... ew.
learning the secrets of salmon roe harvesting... (it's stranger than you think.)
being burped on... twice... in the space of about fifteen minutes... BY THE SAME PERSON... (how does anyone MANAGE that!?) well, it was a boy. I guess they just generate more gaseous business.
admiring lovely glaciers- ya know, before they all melt.
being mauled by a giant beaver!
paying my ass off for parking in canada... it's freaking insane!

and many other lovely tidbits.
enjoy.

I have a whole new epic spoken-word affair in the works. I actually have a valid reason not to post anything now!! (at least being until the moose monologue is done.) It will be ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. In my opinion, at least.

But I'd better finish it before I go on vacation... where I may in fact see... a real moose! Now THAT is great.
If I don't... bad me... bad bad bad me. (Likely this will be the case... <_<

Anyhow... as of Monday I am absent from the art of deviants until Wednesday next. (ALASKA BABY!) As far as I know, it costs an arm, a leg, and a few other accessory body parts to get Wi-Fi on the cruise (woohoo GOLD CARD SECONDTIMER HELL YEAH), so I'm not really leaning toward that.

Yes. Peace outage.

-doing a weeklong SUMMER SPORTS SESSION. Hell yes.

I just CANNOT figure out how to properly stretch my butt... I have been hobbling around because my left leg can't bear the weight of all the water sloshing around in my stomach.
(I just now realized I can't balance on my left foot for more than one second. I am pathetic...)
I swear I drink a gallon every time.

Anyway... all this physical exertion is causing my ideas to run low. So don't expect any new devs for a while.

I'm spent on the Emo Phoenix Poem. (GO READ IT! JUST BECAUSE I SAID SO! I don't care if you hate it. Please?)

okay. *note the title* I think poetry on dA is neglected. I mean, there's awesome poetry out there, key word daily deviations, but those are all ancient things from 3 years ago that have been collecting comments and views the way ugly heirlooms collect dust. When you're at the dA main page, what catches your eye? A pretty picture, or a well-worded poem? Let me guess. (I know I sound really assumptive right now, but if I were to be all-inclusive that would completely destroy my point. ON WITH THE STORY...)

Words = art. Art = everywhere. You = supposed to be all-accepting.
Yes, I know, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow probably gets on your nerves too. He gets on mine... that's for sure. But still.

This probably just came off to you as a giant marketing ploy (it came off to me that way, too) but somebody had to say it... I suppose.

Mostly because it's when everyone else in the house is asleep, but it's also quite peaceful. No frightening footsteps, no police sirens, no nothing.
I can't say anything about the night sky, considering I live in Pollution Central... but at least the air tastes fresh. Bet they put preservatives in it.

Plus night is when I get most of my (random, no doubt) ideas for shtuff to write/magic up on le Photoshop (Elements 3.0, sadly). Great for dark poetry.
I love.

Sadly, the one thing I'd like to be able to do (burst out in random bouts of song) isn't possible at night. Wouldn't want to have the house preying on me like turtles on worms, right?
Turtles DO eat worms. Mealworms, to be specific. I have seen it with my very eyes... for every day for the past almost-year. Don't doubt me.

Okay.
