Apparently, I've been tagged. :O

Darn. I've been tagged. lol Alright. here I go, then. 

1. I'm working on a novel. Well, at least 3 or 4. I've only finished the entire storyline of one. And that was Dracula. Well, I call it Garnet. It's based on my character in the play I was in. 

2. I joined a Harry Potter forum back in July 2007. I'm top poster, and third top shouter on the entire site. I have like 12, 400 or something like that. :embarrassed: 

3. I took piano lessons for 10 years, played violin for 8 and a half years, learned string bass and performed a song from Fiddler on the Roof on it in 8th grade, and have sung with the ward choir since I turned 12. So, I'm pretty actively musical. 

4. I have been drawing since about 3rd or 4th grade. Mostly horses, but lately I've done girls in long, Renaissance/Medieval time dresses. XD Gotta love the dresses. I've probably drawn more than 1000 pictures in my lifetime. Both little sketches and full out pictures.

5. I've been out of the 48 continental United States 3 times, and a 4th time as of this coming July. I've been to England, Hawaii, and New Zealand, with an upcoming trip back to England. All 3 are greener than Arizona. XD

6. I have decided that I'm the most indecisive person I know. XD The Irony. 

7. In the past year, I have become entirely converted to the mac invasion of the world. I live on my macbook and I take my ipod with me whenever I'm in the car, blasting tunes. 

In case you can't tell, I'm a very artsy/craftsy kind of person. lol But hey. That's just me. :D

I'd tag somebody, but I only have Kara as a friend for now, so I'm just gonna let it end on my line. ;) Enjoy reading the randomness. 

Friday, March 7th, 2008

Alright, so this last week was horribly stressful, but I got through it alright. I got some pics of the Math Project I did. It was kind of fun to do. :D I really enjoyed it, even though I was so stressed out. Well, here's my Friday story. It really wasn't pleasant at the time. =/

Alright, so Thursday I started working really hard on all the things that were due on Friday for me. So I was up until 2am, which is really late for me. Like, really late. And then I got up at 6am to finish typing my essay, which I'm going to redo anyways. So I finished real quick as i ate breakfast, and then printed it out and grabbed my stuff and left. ¬.¬ I got almost 2/3 of the way to school and realized that my essay was still in the printer. So I flipped a "U" and ran home. So, I got home and grabbed my essay before running out again. 

Well, I got almost to the freeway and realized that I had left some more papers that I needed in my room, so I flipped another "U" and ran home again. Grabbed it, double checked everything again, and went to school. I was 15 minutes late to class. Anyways, so I'm driving and I get a call from Derek who was one of the people who was going to come over to my house to watch Stardust. He had another idea, so I'm like, whatever, I don't care. It sounds good. Anyways, so I get to school and I was 15 minutes late, and I was crying and stressing out. -_- By the end of class I was mostly alright, so it wasn't too bad. English ended up being alright too. 

So I went home and got ready for my volunteering at the elementary class. I said I wanted to crash and my mom asked why I didn't, and I named all the stuff off that I had to do for the rest of the day. Which was volunteering and then work. So, I left and I was fine crying-wise for the rest of the day. I helped in the classroom, and then went to work. And then the second part of my Friday adventure happened. 

So I had finished work and was heading home. Well, I had to punch out first, so I dropped my purse off in the car and then I was closing the door and swiped my face. It got a cut, and I think it's bruised now. =/ Oh well. It didn't hurt long, so I didn't mind. So I was driving home and then I had to contact people regarding what we were doing alright, and it was not bad. i even called people, which is big for me, since phone calls scare me. 

So, I got home and then got ready for the evening's activities. Picked up Kara, and arrived at Derek's house, where we watched a game of Chinese Checkers and then played with all 5 of us. Then we headed off to Phoenix for the Art Walk show that happens the first Friday of every month. And then headed to Red Robin for some food. It was some of the best burgers I've ever had. YUM. :D And then we headed off to watch a movie, and then I went home. 

Well, driving around with Kara, we had some girl talk time. XD it was wonderful. We were commenting on all kinds of things that had happened that night, and it really made me think about my life to that point and thinking about what will happen in the future. :P I'm not going to go into it here, because it would be too personal, but Kara I think has an idea of what I'm talking about. Though I doubt she knows the specifics.

And, well, that was my friday night. I didn't get more than 4 hours of sleep, and I still functioned enough to drive. XD Without getting killed.

School

Alright, so last week, this week, and next week, all leading up to Spring Break are definitely tough. Last week, I don't know what it was....well, I do, but it's not important, but I just felt like I was the Energizer bunny. I just kept going and going and going and there was nothing i could do.

I don't feel quite like that anymore, but it's still like, "OMG WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?" For instance, I have 3 projects due this week for school, which I haven't even started. -_- I'm starting the one that's due Friday, but I'm just like, what the heck am I supposed to do? And I just need to figure out what I want to do. I need a topic/theme that's not too girly and not too boy-y (is that even a word?), so it needs to be unisex and fun. And I have no clue what to come up with. I thought Harry Potter, and then I thought to all the parents who ban it in their homes. And I don't want to have anything too scary. *sigh* I really don't know.

Plus, I have the devil's class, imo, because it teaches against everything I believe, and it hides behind an innocent name. I don't know what I'll do.  Wait, yes I do. I'm going to ride out the semester and hope for the best. Because that's all I can do.

Well, I should end this post for now. Since i have school work and room cleaning that needs to be done by tonight. -_- Life has interesting curves.

Movies

Ever come across this great movie in your childhood, and you watch it years later and you STILL love it? Well, I've realized that's how I feel about a lot of movies. Alright, so I'm hopeless when it comes to picking favorites at anything. Swan Princess is one of those movies. I mean, come on, who doesn't like watching that movie? Alright, so lots of people probably don't like it. But it's just such a fond memory for me. It's the same thing for The Last Unicorn. Granted, it does look like the creators were on drugs, but not as much as Alice in Wonderland. :O But the animation is just amazing. It's like me looking at costumes during shows. That's just what I do. 

I have to do a compare contrast thing for two film musicals. I can talk about whatever I wanna talk about as long as it compares/contrasts the two I pick. The first things I looked  at when I watched Stardust was Evaine's costume. The blue dress was gorgeous, especially when she lit up. *sigh* Princess Bride, I loved looking at her costumes when they were blue. They were just so elegant and beautiful. It inspires me to make my own costumes, though they don't look near as good. I could go on forever about costumes. :D Phantom of the Opera has some great ones, too. But I don't have the time. Or the space. So I'll content myself with this post and be off to bed, since sleep is important. Something I feel I have been lacking lately. 

hmm.....I wonder why.......XD

Perceptions

Ever have someone think you were one person when you thought of yourself as someone else? Or have you ever been through something that you think no one else has, and you want to tell someone but you can't? 

I just think about things like that randomly. I remember in High School, one of  my friends thought I was a goody-goody who hasn't been through much. She must have thought that i had an easy life. But I had problems just like everyone. And still do. I have self-esteem issues, though they're not as much, now. 

Granted, I haven't kissed a guy before like all of my friends, which apparently means I'm innocent and naive, and I'm okay with that. I couldn't care less. I'm waiting for the right guy to come along. So far he hasn't made an appearance in my life. Well, I think he has, but he's kind of occupied for the next 2 years. So, that's pretty much off limits for two years. And you know what, I really don't mind. Everyone says that that's too long to wait for someone, but I think, if the Lord feels like we are good for each other, I'll be able to wait for 2 years while he serves a mission. But before this gets any more random, I'm gonna sign out.

Kara, I'm hooked. :P lol jk I don't know if I am or not. But hey, Institute is great. XD
