Hold me close,

Listen to my lullaby of lies.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE!!! And Happy Birthday, Jesus!! And to anyone who celebrates other holidays at this time, [insert holiday greeting of choice] to you!!

Today, I woke up to the second white Christmas in my entire life!! The last time I got snow on Christmas morning was when I was 5 years old. We had spent Christmas Eve at my dad's oldest sister's house in Tennessee. That was the morning I put a hole in her wall with my new Barbie Doll house...This year, however, I'm on Daku's side of the state, celebrating with my future in-laws. I didn't knock any holes in any walls!! ACHIEVEMENT!!!

We opened presents last night, as my future father-in-law had to work this morning. He's a helicopter pilot for Air Evac.

I got the most AWESOME GIFT IN THE HISTORY OF FOREVER last night from Daku!! I had to hunt all over the house for it, but it was TOTALLY worth it!! I got the Final Fantasy Dissidia PSP Game Pack, Crisis Core, a CC PSP carrier, and a FF Advent Children PSP skin!! I was sooooo excited!! Of course, I haven't opened any of my gifts from my parents, as I'm not home to do it...

Christmas has been good this year. I hope it's been good for all of you, as well!!

Well, since I won't be on again until January 17, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Stay classy, Otakuites!!

So, I have lots of good news!! First off, I found out yesterday that they're KEEPING ME ON in Housekeeping!! I'll only be working 12 hours for them, though. But then I get 3 more hours a week from tutoring my friend in Art History. My supervisor gave me my official Housekeeping shirts this afternoon.

Secondly, my co-worker, Andrea, has a total of 11 newborn kittens at her house. 5 belong to Ms. Grey (1 1/2 years old) and the other 6 belong to Grey's mother, Speed Bump. Grey gave birth on August 13th, outside, and we found the litter 2 days later and brought them in. Speed gave birth yesterday, inside, and had 7, but 1 was stillborn. The kittens are soooo tiny and soooo adorable!! >w< I want to cuddle them all, but the mommy cats don't like their babies to be touched...

Okay, third news piece, I have my Rosiel outfit finished!! I haven't had a chance to take pictures yet, though. I will probably do so on the 29, when I have time to put on the make-up and all. And I should have my contacts in by then! Mom says the contacts should be in by tomorrow...

Fourth happy tidbit, everyone's starting to move back to campus!! So all my friends are returning. I'm not so lonely any more!! It's a good life...

As you can see, I've been in quite high spirits as of late.

Alrighty, then! Since classes start on the 25th, here's my schedule:

Mondays & Wednesdays

  • Rythmic Activities & Lead-Up Games: 12:00 pm to 12:50 pm
  • Ceramics II: 1:00 pm to 1:50 pm (will also be on Fridays at this time)
  • 2-D Studio I: 2:00 pm to 2:50 pm

Tuesdays & Thursdays

  • Ed & Growth of the American Republic: 9:30 am to 10:45 am
  • Art History I: 1:00 pm to 2:15 pm
  • Principles of Learning & Teaching: 2:30 pm to 3:45 pm

Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings, I'll also be working for Housekeeping from 6 am to no later than 11 am. And at some point during the week, I'll tutor my friend for 3 hours. The 3 hours won't all be on the same day, most likely...

Well, that's all for now!! Stay classy, Otakuites!

So...Just a quick update. I'm going home either today or tomorrow, meaning I won't be on for a bit. I'll be home for a whole week! Ugh...I don't know if I can survive an entire week with no internet...Though, I'm taking my computer home anyways. Maybe I can work on a new AMV? Or perhaps I could color that lineart I did way back in spring...

My job situation changed. I went into the Financial Aid office on June 29 (Monday) to make sure I had all the paperwork filled out so that I could start my off-campus work-study at the day care on July 1st. The woman started looking in her computer and she told me that I no longer qualified for federal work study. It's complete bullshit!! I qualified at the beginning of May!! I was so pissed off...She told me the only way I could go ahead and work at the day care was if I gave up my unsubusidized loan for the rest of summer. Of course, when I took the loan back in fall when school started, it would be $1000 less than it was before, because that was how much money I'd make working at the day care. I was trying my hardest not to cry, but the tears fell anyways. The lady told me that I could still get a job on campus, because it would only count as institutional work-study, meaning I wouldn't have to give up my loan. So I checked in the cafeteria, but the supervisor said they didn't need anyone. I had to wait to go to the housekeeping and grounds supervisor, so I went to my room and had myself a full-blown breakdown. I punched my bed a couple of times, bawled my eyes out, and bad-mouthed the government. I felt like shit because it seemed like the government didn't want to help the good, honest, hard-working American citizens...Then I went and talked to the housekeeping and grounds supervisor, and she said she had a position! That made my day TONS better! So, I get to start on July 13th.

July 15th-19th, I'm gonna be in Nebraska, visiting with Daku. I'm excited about that. Then, he's coming back home on August 8th. He's going to be glomped to death...

I have an eye doctor appointment on Monday, July 6th. I might be getting contacts! I'm excited. And a little nervous...The last time I tried to get contacts, it took the doctor forever to get one in my eye, I couldn't get the other one in my eye, and then it took forever for me to get the first one out! But I'm much better at touching my eyeball now...

Oh, I saw "Public Enemies" last night! I'm a Johnny Depp fangirl...I went with my friend, Kells...Johnny kept giving away his coats. So we kept hoping he didn't own too many, because then he would end up nekkid...I've never hated Batman so much in my life...Christian Bale plays the cop in charge of catching John Dillinger...So throughout the movie, we were just like, "Oh noes!!1 Batman, joo suckz!!1" The ending sucked, to us...There are some things that you just don't do!! And the director did one of those things...HE FUCKING KILLED JOHNNY!!!! YOU DON'T FUCKING KILL JOHNNY DEPP!!!! And then Kells's dad told us that the real John Dillinger escaped and lived out his life in California...So we were just like, "Oh, FAIL, movie director man!! FAIL!!!" Yes...

Well, that's all I have for now...Stay classy, Otakuites!

So...I haven't been doing anything of much importance lately. I won't be able to start my community service until tomorrow, thanks to some recent storms. The rain flooded the room I was supposed to clean out...Water was like 2 inches deep, or more...But it should be dry enough by tomorrow. I've mainly been staying in my room, being a hermit. I've played Kingdom Hearts 2 some more...I finally got Sora woke up and in Hollow Bastion! Those damn cut scenes kill me, though...They're too long at that part...For anyone wondering, no, this is not my first time to play the game. The first time I played, I beat the game at 87% completion...This time, I'm going for 100%. Bahaha!!

Hm...I've also drawn a couple things. One drawing is for DeidaraNarutoClan's "Outside the Box" challenge. I'm excited. I drew myself falling upside down. It came out great! Surprised me...The second drawing is a gift for my Nii-san, LGA775, because he did such a wonderful job on my request. n__n The other drawing was just a quick doodle of Taicho Shunsui chasing Nanao-chan...Yeah, Bleach fan art for once! Shunsui is my favorite taicho...Because he's drunk all the time...And always chases Nanao around, asking her to go on dates with him...

I finished my FFVII: AC video! It's up on YouTube now. I'll put it at the end...I'm so proud of it! It turned out awesome!!

I got Eoin Colfer's "The Artemis Fowl Files: The Ultimate Guide To the Best-Selling Series" book in today from Amazon. Colfer's amazing. I've been following the Fowl series since I was like, 13 or so...Now I've got all six books in the series, AND the accompanying guide! I can't wait for Book 7 to come out...It should be out next year. Book 6, "The Time Paradox" ended in kind of a cliff-hanger...I won't say what happened at the end...I'll let you read it yourself, if you haven't already...But one thing did excite me...

HOLLY AND ARTEMIS KISSED!!!!

That just blew me away...I was like, "No way!! Seriously?!" Yeah...

Well, that's all I got for now. Stay classy, Otakuites!

Okay, so......I have news.........Are you ready for it..? Cause here it comes......

I'M FINISHED WITH ALL MY MAYMESTER ASSIGNMENTS!!!!!

That's right. Finished. Completed. You can stick a fork in them, because they are DONE!!

So...Now I sit back and ask myself, "What shall I do with all of my new-found free time?" I'll tell you what I'm gonna do with all that free time:
~Complete FFVII: AC AMV to Placebo's "Protege Moi" (I'll post it on here when I finish it)
~Read Christopher Paolini's "Eldest"
~Draw new art (some of which are for challenges)
~Move into my new summer room
~Play video games
~Work on my future best-selling novel (if you want details, pm me)
~Work on new fanfiction for FFN
~Possibly make another AMV?

Yeah...Free time, folks...Free time...I went to Sonic with 3 of my friends (and fellow Maymester-mates) at 8:00 pm to get free root beer floats to celebrate. Sonic's giving them out until midnight...

So, you can all expect me to be on a little more frequently!
