I wrote a post already but was too lazy and I deleted it. I suppose I should have gone with Amy, Tim and whoever else to see Harry Potter since I'm incredibly bored right now. I thought I would be shopping about now but it doesn't seem my mom is going anymore. Oh well… I guess I could finish those "tour guide" thingies if Serom still needs them for the yearbook. The sport theme ones involve too much thinking. ^^''' Agh.. so far I have a disproportional punk guy and a half finish somewhat nerdy girl (I believe Antoinette drew a nerdy guy?) which reminds me a lot of an old drawing of Lucca from Chrono Trigger. I was going to do a Fan comic thing. ^^'' Well, it turns out I'm going shopping. See ya!
7:30pm
Shopping yet again was disappointing. However, I did get my father's Christmas present which was half off (Charmaine would be so proud!) but I have a feeling I'll be returning it. ::sighs:: Speaking of gifts, I don't have the usual amount of money for Christmas shopping… I think I might be able to get everyone in (hopefully).
My list:
Well, it's been quite a disastrous start. Mom shouldn't have complained about the kitchen sink and dad shouldn't have used the plunger. They spent about 2 - 3 hours replacing the pipes so that the water went down somewhat properly. Of course this makes my mom feel better about everyone dropping out at the last minute. We were suppose to have 10- 13 people and it dropped down to 6 two days before. We'll be eating turkey into the New Year. ;_; Well of course my aunt and them came later. About an hour ago. Oh, The Iron Giant is going to be on soon. Perhaps if I find a telly I'll watch it. ^_^ Monster's Inc. was on today too. Mom didn't put out the dip. ;_; I was really looking forward to it. ::pulls out bag of pretzels:: For whatever reason if feels like a Saturday/ Sunday and thank god its not. ^__^
So far Turkey day is okay. I never really look forward to any of these family-gathering holidays anyway. Hmm… I should be doing those sketches since there due in a couple of weeks. But how you draw at the table discreetly? ::sighs:: Oh, I got a hold of Sandman! I can't believe a library had it, a comic book. For some reason I didn't think it was one. But I do believe the Amano one isn't. Hmm.. So we'll see what the fuss is about… Later. ^^'' Yes, being lazy. What did ya expect? I have a couple of story lines I should work on. (Yes, writing own stories for comic and it really sucks.)
8:14pm
Once again plots are foiled by wrestling.
All week they have been talking non stop about the first snowstorm of the season. I thought to myself that every time they talk about it inches of snow will be deducted and sure enough they were. I got up about 9:30-ish and looked out my window disappointingly. However, my horrible view gave the illusion of no snow and I was shocked when I walked down my stairs. Yes, in a period of two minutes, an inch of snow had fallen. ^^’’ Once again the feeling of Christmas returned. I wonder what Christmas will feel like if Thanksgiving is already feeling like Christmas.
It should be 9pm now since it was a Saturday-ish day. Oh well…
Monday we had roast beef leftovers (roast beef three days in a row :::blah::) and my cousin was over. He started up the conversation about how we were the last generation before the family becomes completely Americanized. It’s sad really. Well, if the language doesn’t last hopefully the cooking will. :/ Hehe, I told them that the American wives won’t cook for them and all. They are now looking for an “old skool” girl. LOL, they should go to Poland with Chris! God knows how that relationship will work out for Chris. Maybe she’ll come to the states?
I went to my page to update and lo and behold I was visitor #666! XDD
6:27pm It is snowing in Hell.
SquareSoft and Enix are merging to form Square Enix Inc.! WTF is going on?! Oh, the horror that will be constructed in video game’s future.
Well, Tom, you should be happy… kind of. At least Dragon Warrior (Quest) will have more of an opportunity to make its way here (not only for Playstation but for Nintendo, too ^_~) but it involves the risk of becoming Final Fantasy-ize by Square. Poor Dragon Warrior… ;_;
I couldn’t bring myself to get up this morning but when I finally did I took on the task of cleaning my room. It took a total of three hours. Not too bad this time around. ^_^’’ It’s weird to walk into my room and not having a small clearing for a path.
Holidays seem rather confusing this year. Although it horribly felt like Christmas today, it wasn’t. ;_; My coat was too light and I should have been at my grandparents’ or my Aunt’s. ::sighs:: It’s not even Thanksgiving and the stores are all Christmas-ie and someone had there tree up! >_<
::sighs:: ;_;
Soon it will be Thursday and then glorious Friday. ^___^ Today was okay. Amazingly I wasn't tired. Since haven't been sleeping well I thought that I would actually get up this morning and take a shower. Of course, that some how makes me sleep better if I actually have to get up. Well sort of… At least I wasn't tired. ^^''
Yesterday, I handed in my application for SVA. I hope she sends it out on time. ::will be a nuisance:: Umm… One of the props for the play is this plastic knife, which the blade moves to get the effect of stabbing something. Loads of fun but I can't believe that bastard, Tim, stabbed me! >_< Speaking of stabbing people, hanging up artwork in the narrow glass showcase… ::goes crazy and attempts to break out:: On the subject of art, Portfolio Day is this Saturday and while I don't feel like going my mom thinks I should… Maybe I'll tag along. Montclair State University will be there. (god knows how they got there!)
I went shopping today at that Riverside Mall and of course got nothing. I'm looking for something to wear for Christmas since I have nothing and there's no way I'm wearing that black flower dress for the hundredth time! GOD DAMN IT!!! MY FUCKING TABLET FROZE AGAIN! ::kicks:: Where is that mouse anyway? Must… connect... the mouse…
Being bored and avoiding homework I turn to the Internet. Yet again I am online and bored out of my mind. Blah… I’m depressed after my shopping trip. However the quote of the day made me feel a little better.
”Remember: Friends don’t let friends draw drunk” –merekatcreations.com
I feel like drawing and I should draw but alas I have nothing to draw. Maybe I’ll get my nine sketches in at Thanksgiving, which should be next week but its not. Blah.
Happy Birthday to Wedge! (Yesterday)
I went to stage crew again and there were only the three adults and two other students there. I guess Harry Potter is really popular among stage crew people? I’m sure I’ll here all about it on Monday from Antoinette and then over hear it from the lunch table next to us since Anna is obsessed with it. Oh and Serom if she did go see it. I want to go see Lord of the Rings whenever that comes out. I think around Christmas, eh?
Anyway, the car that they made is really cool. Lol, a wooden 40’s car. (so, Polish! XD) Yeah, I was hired to help paint the car. It’s not quite finish and Mrs. Baskinger is trying to drag me in again to finish. T_T
I didn't go to stage crew today and I feel bad because there is none on Thursday and I forgot that's there's Christine's birthday party on Friday so I can't go then either. Maybe I'll go Friday till 8 and then leave for the party. Yeah, I guess… Well, yeah, I got suckered into helping Mrs. Baskinger paint the car for the play. C'mon who's next?
Last night I drove to stage crew and it was raining too and I never drove in the rain before. All I know is not to take my dad's car since he hasn't bought the new tires yet. I could barely see with all the glare from the lights on the rain and the greasy window. I do believe my sub conscience is trying to kill me by pressing the accelerator instead of the brakes. Lol. ::paranoid:: "Oh my god, oh my god… I'm too close to the car…" ::is 10 feet from car:: ^_^'''
Tired! Damn you art history! ::kicks:: I don't know why I bothered with it. ::sighs:: I think I should start taking vitamins.
“You got mail!”
God no! Where did that come from?! I don’t even have AOL! ::hides::
Anyway, I think I bombed my art history test but at least I have a 100 on the study guide thanks to everyone doing two pages and emailing them around. ^_^ She was so proud. If only she knew. ^^’’’
So, according to the Magic 8 Ball I should take illustration. The Smoking Head of Bob also agrees. Yeah, I think I should find a better way to decide on my major, too.
Well, yesterday Ami came over to save me from boredom. We watched Indiana Jones, The Lost Crusades since she never saw an Indiana Jones movie ::gasps:: and also because it’s a damn good movie. Lucky it didn’t get ruined too much. ^_^
It’s Sunday… Last day of freedom of this four-day weekend. ::sighs:: I didn’t even do anything this weekend! My art project is still shit, art history is collecting dust and I updated too many times to be sane. I will figure out something for art, do at least one sketch, and finish the vocabulary and maps for art history. That is my goal for today. It won’t happen I know. Oh, yeah, there’s vocabulary for English. -_- And an essay to write. Slides to label. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
Finally, my page is working again! ::kicks freeservers.com:: Actual updates twice this month? What the hell is going on?! ^___^
I forgot to talk about “Moving Out”. Rich was jealous that we went to see it but I don’t know how much he would like the “rock ballet”. Men trying to act tough, cool, and fight while dancing very femininely. XD And the Billy Joel wannabe was a little too into it but he sounded great. Although it wasn’t what I was expecting, “Moving Out” was still a good show. I wonder how long it will last?
It’s early! ;_; I can’t seem to sleep late and my mom and my brother were loud. ::sighs::
Anime tonight! Yay, for InuYasha! (though they change the time for G Gundam >_<) Cartoon Network changed the Adult Swim line up and it sucks now! They were so close to having it perfect it only they got rid of Aqua Teen Hunger Force! ::sniff:: Poor Harvey Birdman… and Mission Hill!
Yay, my slides aren’t pink!
12:49pm
I've come to the conclusion that I will never beat FFX. Yes, you may all laugh now. ::waits for people to be done laughing::
I figure my levels or whatever you want to call it in this game since there aren't any "levels" sucks. I wish they had the usual "leveling up". But noooooooooo! Anyway, I'm at the Omega Ruins trying to gain large amounts of AP and is that place a bitch or what?! The Tonberries are EVIL! SO VERY EVIL! ::wants to draw one:: They're so cute and evil! Tee! o^____^o So, yeah... My guys suck so I think I'll be stoned by true gamers and download the ending. I already know she's not going to die due to the unprecedented sequel to FFX. ::sniff:: But its not the same! ::cries:: I wanna beat it and see teh ending! ::whines, whines:: Okay, off to download! ^^'' Oh, ya know, I should download the ending for FFIV since I played it five time and never got to see the ending since it deleted my file all the time. It's only fair.
1:37pm
I'm turning into Serom who happened to have this quiz. Where's my blue glitterly noose? 4:31pm
I’m officially a loser. I updated, count ‘em, four times today! I did my art history homework (my part of it anyway). I did nothing today. I will probably proceed to do nothing for the remainder of the day. My parents are going out tonight and I’m staying home. Anyone feel free to come over before I hang myself.
::talking to Ami:: Its been awhile, eh? Agh… men trouble. She should call Janet. ^_~ Speaking of which did she die yet?
I'm kind of upset with Mrs. Harmon and Mrs. Baskinger and their portfolio preparations. So, they just want observational drawings and such… Right. At least Junior year you should tell the truth that every school doesn't want a whole thing of observational drawings. Every school is different but they pretty much want to see other things you can do. So, I'm lacking a bit in that area.
Cooper Union wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I was expecting pointing and laughing. The guy reviewing my portfolio was really nice but he didn't think my portfolio was appropriate for Cooper Union. I had put down "Graphic Design/Illustration" since I still really didn't know which to choose and of course they don't offer illustration. He proceeds to tell me that my drawing skills and such are good but I need more graphic design related artwork if I was to apply there for graphic design otherwise don't bother. Well, I guess that covers my decision to apply there. Hehe, it's pretty funny how they stress the freeness of the school. "See these limestones? They're like a thousand dollars+ and we get to use them for free!"
I'm looking to apply to a third school just because I feel I should have one or else I might as well apply for early decision at SVA. I'm still going to try to drag my mother up to Maine. Heh, Maine College of Art is like SVA (from what I've seen, the joy of the internet) except nicer. ^___^''' Plus, if offers illustration as a minor which means I can do both. Yay. (but I wish it was the other way, graphic design being the minor) Oh well. ::sighs:: Need another college… If not Maine, maybe Boston?
Yes, I do realize I need to stop talking about college but ya know I don't have a life. Oh, and remember-bargain for a cheaper tuition. Seriously. (My mom's friends are always lucky, eh? Stevens's people-Bargain!)
I, of course, forgot but likely Serom called reminding me of the ten points extra credit for art history. However, I don't feel like going. That means I'll have to change and go all the way there and come all the way back. Yes, I'm lazy on my damn vacation.
Tomorrow is Cooper Union and my portfolio is ready, I guess. Agh, why is everyone else's going to be so good?! ;_; This now turns my attention to college applications… I'm applying to two colleges and everyone else has like five or early decision. ^^''' I'm tempted to apply to Maine College of Art since it looks cool but… its Maine! ::whines:: Maine is suppose to be nice right? (Never mind the snow, eh?) Nine hours away from home… I feel hungry already. ^_^''' I don't think I would mind too much. My family on the other hand… My grandparents would kill me, my mother would go insane and someone would be eyeing my room. Gotta love family.
Slides are getting developed. ;_; ::fears the results:: I hope they aren't pink. ::sighs:: My mom is playing Cilene Dion. -_-'' Well its not too bad as long as I don't have to watch her sing. Same with Cher. It gets scary sometimes.
Amy is wondering what I want for Christmas (Yes, I know its early). Off the top of my head, a digital camera (looks at parental units), Indiana Jones DVD box set (looks at brother now that he has a job), Hello Kitty Punk black hooded sweat shirt from Hot Topic, more clothes, Chrono Trigger Soundtrack (For those with a burner ^____^), umm… anime? And… uhhh… stuff… like… Magetokyo graphic novel (we can't let poor Fred starve)! And ummm… I can't think of anything else at the moment. ^^'''
8:11pm
Yep, not going. Kick self later.
So, my mom told/reminded my dad that we're going to Cooper Union tomorrow and my dad was all "who cares where you're going to school, where are you going to work?" Yay, for having no job after college… My dad wants me to be an architect… still. But being an architect doesn't mean I'll have a job either. (poor Fred ;_;) Rich has some computer degree thing and doesn't have a job… yet. (lol, cheese factory! XD) It's hard for everyone after college to find a job (Christie is a bad example and doesn't count. They're begging for teachers!). I could always get a teaching certificate thing. Agh… Another Mrs. Harmon… I could see it when I'm high. ^_^''
Damn too much college rambling. >_
GRR! Slides, need I say more? I swear the camera is crooked! ::kicks:: Yeah, half day is fun when you only go to physics and art. ^__^’’’ One more picture to take and I’m done with slides unless a) I apply to more schools b) they come out so horrible that I have to burn them. “Moving Out” is tonight which means I should go do homework now. ::bangs head::
Well day has been a seesaw from "Agh… Another day to get up" to "Yippie Skippy hyper" to "Leave me the fuck alone".
Mom's like "let's go shopping"! First I was okay with it but by the time it came around I wasn't much in a shopping mood especially when I remember that the only reason we were going to Garden State was to clear up the credit with Bose, which meant my brother was coming with us. So I was in a worse mood to begin with. I saw this Punk Hello Kitty hooded sweat shirt that I wanted but it was $42 and I really didn't want to spend $42 (at least $30 would have been nice) but I didn't have enough. Of course, I guess I could have used Tim's slide film money. ^_^ I figure next time I'll go… but it probably won't be there anyway or it'll just be in red. Ick.
7:05pm
Poor Piro-chan! ;_; Fred got laid off from work and now he plans to do Megatokyo full time. He has balls to take on an online comic fulltime in this shitty economy. It’s awesome to just sit and create comics you love… I hope he doesn’t starve to make it through the year. ^^’’’
11:16pm
After playing a round of FFX (god knows how I starting playing that game again) I just didn’t feel like dealing with the side quests and I know I’ll die verse Sin so I stopped. I came online bored (I could have been sleeping ya know ::stupid appears on forehead::) and flipped through a few sites… How the fuck am I to compete with these people?! ::dreads Friday:: And WTF am I posting for the third time today?! I’m not Serom’s damn replacement! ::runs off to eat chocolate and sleep::
-A Christmas Story (DVD)
-Hat. Something to go with my gray scarf.
-Art supplies like Prismacolor Markers (everyone throws in a few bucks and I'll have a nice little set ^_^), X-Acto knife and mat, Higgins waterproof ink, Anatomy book (such as The Artist's Complete Guide to Figure Drawing: A Contemporary Perspective on the Classical Tradition
by Anthony Ryder, Dynamic Figure Drawing
by Burne Hogarth , or Drawing the Head and Figure
by Jack Hamm , those little manikins are cute ^_^
I guess that's it. A couple are a little expensive so don't bother. They're just notes to myself. ^_^ I have a feeling I'm going to be giving out crappy gifts. :/
