( TO DO LIST )

...DD: All this homework is going to kill me.

In other news, I've closed myself to friending for the rest of the year. As much as I really love making friends, I'm getting kind of tired of the random requests from people I don't know who don't comment on my f-list post first. This will also be my last public post. I'm transitioning into a full-private journal after this because there's really no use in taking the extra minute to decide to make the entry private or not. =/

So from now until at least January 1st, 2008, you're totally free to add me, but I will not add back. It's not like I'm a strict or really private person or anything--I just really want to get to know better the wonderful people already on my list. Plus, I'm not incredibly interesting anyway, so you won't be missing much. xDD ♥

...and obligatory spazzgasm:

HEROES FINALE TONIGHTTTTT~! 8DDb/T~T ♥ ♥

AL;SKDJFAL;SKDJF My email service is being stupid AGAIN and I have about a dozen comments from el-jay...so I'll just have to use my intuition and manually check the places where I know people will be commenting. xDD

orz my dad is on another business trip to Minnesota this week. ... This is, like, his second trip in a month in all six years he's been working with my parents' company. Why are they suddenly sending him on business trips? He better get a big fat bonus for it. =|

And my IR schedule has apparently just been moved up from the 30th to the 20th. Which means that everyone is suddenly behind by approximately a week. Oh geez. At this rate, I'll have to send out my resolutions and figure out a country to form a treaty with by tomorrow. I hate this. Seriously.

LOL so my best friend left her wallet in my bag on Sunday, which had her school ID, check cards, AND driver's license in it. Crap. I better get it back to her soon. It's...kind of important. OAO;;

Welcome discover to my journal~♥ It was spontaneous, but I'm so glad to have you and I hope we'll become great friends. :D

And lastly, a lot of people on my f-list are renaming, so I want to wish everyone the best of luck with that~! I told heartfell this, but hey, some things bear repeating: I love you all 'cause of who you are, not because of your name, so either way, it's win-win ♥

...ow. My head. I went to bed at four this morning, woke up at eight, and went to the park in fifty-degree weather. Then came back, watched ANTM for two hours and came home. My head's been spinning for the past six hours 'cause I haven't eaten anything all day and just now had some real food. @_@;;

I love parties ♥

A-and now I'm going to go do some busywork. Possibility of pic-spam later. And some editing with more insightful things. Or not.

[EDIT] astler ♥

If any of you in my f-list are artists and don't yet have a place to post your art, I'd be happy to let you nest here as well~

I don't want to keep posting my art on this journal because it's mostly spam and most people prolly don't want to see my ugly stuff anyway, so. xP But having a solo art journal is so lonely u_u

orz.

ANYWAY.

I'm so happy so many of you responded to this post! ♥ I've also put up my return address there so you'll know it's from me. :) It's not too late if you still want to receive a letter from me, so reply at will. So this is good--I have a month to write all the letters and I'll send them about two weeks before Christmas. That should be long enough, right? OAO;;

I wish I had more interesting things to talk about today, but I really don't. xD I'm heading over to a friend's house tonight for a sweet sixteen sleepover and so I'm not going to get any sleep tonight. DDx I wish I could bring my laptop or something. And my daddy's coming home from Minnesota today too, but I'm going to miss him. u_u He left for a five-day business trip on Sunday and it's just been my mom, grandma, and me this week. Gosh. Now I kind of know what he feels like being the only male in the family. xDD

Also getting the itch for a layout change. Again. D8<

And should fix my memes.

[EDIT] And also. "Heroes" = Claire Bennet. "Tales of Rebirth" = Claire Bennett. I LOL'D. 8DDb ♥

...or not.

But srsly. This is a hot-button topic debate at our school right now. 83 So for those of you who don't know (that would be the majority of the world ♥), the state of Illinois has recently made a "moment of silence" mandatory for all public schools, in which we must all spend a minute of time in complete silence. It's called the "Student Silence and Prayer Act" or something of that nature and it's causing quite a stir. The purpose is "to allow students a moment each school day to pray, or otherwise to reflect." Something to that effect, anyway. A lot of the students in my school are really upset about it. I'm quite indifferent to the whole thing myself, although I do believe that it's not constitutional. I'm not religious, and so I don't pray, but I stay silent to respect those who do. It's the same thing as standing up and saying the Pledge of Allegiance each day. I'm not much of a nationalist, but again, I do respect the people who are and stand up with them without compromising my beliefs by placing my hand over my heart and saying the Pledge. It's not that hard to find the middle ground, seriously. xD

But anyway. In other news, I have to write a letter to some important government official "identifying an issue within a social or natural community that leads to a significant problem" and then eventually "arriving at a solution to that problem and persuading the audience to take action." Sooooo. I'm doing illegal immigration. My favorite debate topic liekevar. If you ever need any information on it, I'm a freaking encyclopedia. I'm completely anti-Amnesty by the way, so only if you're looking for information against it. xP

Anyway. So I'm gonna go back to writing my letter now. And tomorrow I have a double-sweet sixteen for two of my best friends, and then a minicon for JSA, so I prolly won't be home 'till mid-afternoon on Saturday. Just...so you know. I promise I'll check my f-lists later tonight so I'll at least be up to date for a little while.

LOL POLITICS ♥ ♥

-coughcough- So I've decided that I'm going to work harder this quarter than I did last quarter because I really want to keep my grade up and get my parents to not lecture me for a week, which would be h-e-a-v-e-n. I think that the reason I was slacking off early in the year was because I mentally hit a rough spot and now that I'm over it, I really need to get with the program. MY CONVICTIONS ARE STROOOOOOOONG \o/

( Cut for edumacation-related blocktext xDD )

NOW. On a subject other than school. My mom and I were playing around yesterday because my dad's on a business trip to Minnesota until Friday I wanted to go T_T six-hour road trip sounds like heaven ♥ and decided to taste some of the hot peppers one of her best friends gave her. They grow them in their ginormous garden, and without exaggerating, the peppers were about three-bajillion degrees. Oh sure, it tasted fine going down, but just like she warned us, we ended up crying in front of the TV together for about two hours because our insides were burning. And I swear. This was last night. I can still taste it. I swear, my tongue will be tingling for the rest of my life. ;;

'kay gonna stop bothering everyone now ♥

Let's see now.

...I feel like I've actually gotten worse. And now my retinas are burning.

So I'm too tired to try and figure out whether this would merit a "Mature Content" thing on dA I just want to post something 'cause I've been absent for the past three months; I personally don't think it does, but some people have gotten their art deleted for much less, so. =/

I didn't even bother trying to lineart this; I never would have finished it. And as always, all my knowledge of light source goes out the window 8DD It's also incredibly purple. Oh god. I'm never using the color purple again.

( Prepare yourself: mistakes abounding! )

Inspiration comes from Victoria's Secret catalogs. ♥

Aaaaand Kimi's birthday is tomorrow, amirite amirite? 8DD -will have special present for you by then ♥-
