Listening to: H.I.M. - Passion's Killing Floor <33
I know, I know, I've been more than dead for almost a month now! XO Truth is, like I mentioned in my other post, I've been extremely lazy and kind of slacking off from my online social life XD Filling up my days with making bases and sorting out files...I think I deleted over 300 images this last 2 weeks! I really need to clean up.
Anyway, today I went to see two plays with my classmates. You see, there's this theater festival thing going on, and it's in Spanish - meaning all plays are in Spanish, even though the actors are from Russia, the Czech Republic or even Spain. Well, today we watched a play from actors from Bulgaria and one from the Czech Republic.
I admit the first one was pretty good and had me laughing at times (it was about circus-gypsies touring the world), but the second was plain weird. It was about a few grown-up women who regretted having grown up and wanted to be kids again. One thing that I found intriguing was one scene where each of them stood down on chairs, in the dark, holding flashlights close to their faces; every time one of them spoke, she'd light a flashlight for a brief moment - kind of like a camera panning in on them. The rest was...strange, to say the least. I know the meaning was too deep for me to grasp at that moment because I had just seen a funny play and wanted to laugh some more! But yeah, gotta appreciate the effort that went into making it ._.
There were also 4 Spanish kids in front of us who ate through all the plays >.< I was hungry and they had chips and Coke! Worst of all was that they rustled the bags of chips a lot and were laughing and talking - they kinda reminded me of Romanians -_- Another weird thing was the fact that after the plays ended many of the actors (who are high school students) were smoking outside, with the teachers! I mean, come on! As far as I know, smoking below 18 is illegal.
Lys! I haven't forgotten about those Clannad avatars :D Here are they! I'll make more if I have the chance, but these days I've only had enough inspiration to mindlessly cut bases out of images XD I know the last 2 suck, but I kinda like the first one <3
Gah! I have so many on my mind right now T_T 2 Informatics exams, 3 term papers, one Maths test, one History test and the CAE exam! *dies* Gotta start doing serious business and get to work. I've also noticed I'm a real cheapskate with comments, both on AP and here ._. Sorry~! *bows* I should also update the IW World soon too, those nominations are piling up... Anyway, thank you to everyone who drops by and leaves a comment ;_; It means a lot, really. *hugs* Hope you have a great day~!

My my, I haven't updated for a while ._. Almost 2 weeks! Have you guys ever noticed how time seems to fly by? Honestly, sometimes I feel like I'm behind everything that's happening ^_^" Um, let's see... Kelsey, I'm really sorry for not being online more often, things have been terribly complicated for me lately >_< I'll explain below. Of course, a huge SORRY to everyone because I was such a bad friend and didn't comment on your posts ;_; But I read them! Yeah, I always postpone commenting and end up not commenting at all...
Um, lately my life has been revolving around school. Even my Photoshop life! Remember the exhibition and panoramas I mentioned a while ago? Well, the deadline is getting closer and all the panoramas must be ready in a few days, so I've been working on them every morning and night >.< What gets on my nerves is that the Geography teacher (who is kind of a leader of the "Edelweiss" group, even though he doesn't get involved too much - it's the students who do the work) is never satisfied with what he has, even though the panoramas look decent. And considering the fact that I usually piece together 4-5 photos to get one panorama... What's even more annoying is the fact that he doesn't know more about PS than working with Brightness, Contrast and simple stuff.
Also, I've been sick for a few days now - it's weird though: no runny nose, no fever, no headaches, just coughing. Sometimes when I cough my throat starts to "itch" (don't know how to describe this >_<") and I keep on coughing and coughing until I start tearing! This happened during Spanish class yesterday and it was really bothersome; I had to go to the bathroom to calm down T_T As if this weren't enough, I started hiccuping during Chemistry class -___-" I hate being sick! DX
Um, yeah. Long rant there. Now for some artistic stuff: I'm now on hiatus from walling, since I have 0 motivation to do this at the moment. I'll only stick to avatars and icon bases for a while, maybe even extract some PNG's. And speaking of icon bases, I've made more from Tokyo Crazy Paradise <3 I really am obsessed with this manga XD

Listening to: nothing, for once
Doing: posting and looking at the partial b-day gift I got yesterday <33
Oh my God, I'm posting already! So soon, right? After being practically dead, I return with novels for posts XD Yeah, I know. But how could I pass this opportunity of telling how my day of Tuesday the 13th went??
As you might know, Tuesday is thought to have "3 unlucky hours", and well, 13 doesn't need many explanations ^^" Combine these two and you've got the perfect way life can screw with you (as I found out myself yesterday). Before I begin, I'd like to say that I have a carefree attitude towards this, since I'm used to these ironies of life 
First, when I came to school, I wasn't late either - lucky me! However, the bus was full and I was sandwiched between 3 old ladies who kept chatting about their relative >_<" The bus was so full that I barely got off it; then had to switch to another bus so I ran for it - luckily, I caught it and it was empty! Then I got to school and found Nico (best friend and also desk mate) with a bag in her hands (empty one). She told me she had gone to print me a poster of one of my wallies, but the ladies from the printing center wouldn't accept her floppy disk >_< Wth? We had gone there once before and they had accepted it then!
We went to the Informatics lab to copy the pic from her floppy disk to my memory stick, after telling two classmates to tell the Geography teacher we were at the library, in case he wondered why we were absent. So we got to the lab and Nico turned a computer on, only to discover she had shut it off instead ^^" Then, it suddenly restarted right when we were about to copy the pic. We moved to a different computer and managed to copy the pic - yay!
Of course, I had no idea what pic that was, since she wouldn't show me XD
Turns out the wallpaper in question was the one below, which I now have printed on A3 laminated paper :3 *ish proud of it* Nico and her boyfriend argued whether this wallie or this vector would look better, and they decided upon the wallie ^__^
When I get my camera, I'll take a photo of it...when I put it somewhere on a wall ^^" Yup, my parents promised me a camera for my b-day! *.*
Back to the school story: the other classes were normal, aside from English, which was boring - but that's normal too. Then along came Chemistry, which a lot of people skipped; we were only 13 there T_T Don't tell me this doesn't beg for something to happen, I won't believe you. Of course, neither of us has 2 grades, so the teacher decided to throw a little "surprise test"! >_<"
I for one don't like Chem and you couldn't tell I've been studying it for about 5 years! I'm stupid XP What's left? Cheating, of course. Like I told a classmate before Chem class, what difference does it make if I don't cheat or cheat and get caught? XD If I cheat and get caught, I get a 1; if I don't cheat, I get a 1. So there are no risks! ^_^" I ended up cheating and, well, didn't get caught.
So much for that day, I'm just happy it's over. I'm not superstitious, but when things happen like this it's kinda awkward to blame it all on chance XD Thank you for visiting and reading my posts, as usual ^^ Take care!

Listening to: Michael Jackson - Thriller (shut up, it's awesome)
As you probably already guessed, this post is going to be about my life, which in the last days has become synonymous with school! I don't think I've ever been as busy as I am now! First, there's the term papers. Second, there's a test in History. Third, some pictures I have to edit for an exhibition. And fourth, my own projects which are slowly reaching their (unfair) death.
The term papers. There are 4 in total: Informatics, Romanian, Biology and Maths. That's the order we decided to take them in (which turned out to be from easiest to most difficult) and I've already taken the first 3 ones, so there's only Maths left, next Wednesday. Why did I choose Biology? Well, from Biology, Chemistry and Physics, this one seemed the only way out, since I suck at the other 2 XP The term paper was a lot more difficult than we had expected; we had an problem too, and we never do problems in Biology! Out of 22 people who chose to take the Biology exam, no one solved it, so you can figure how unexpected it was ._.
Next, the History test. Our teacher has been quite nasty towards us for a while, because we didn't want to go to a competition which involves the making of a project (he needed a team made out of 3-4 individuals) and which was optional! He said something along the lines of "Ha, if that's the way you (the class) like it, the I'm not going to be nice to you anymore either". By "nice", he means not accepting any grade-reviving essays a.k.a. no more "free" high marks. I'm one of the lucky ones who got higher marks (I got 7 out of 10); there were some who got 4! And I can't help but feel he's going to be even nastier with this upcoming test >_>
As for those pictures I have to edit, they're landscapes of different places (Dublin, London etc.) that I have to edit for this exhibition coming up. Basically, they're raw images that need to be turned into panoramas (by stitching them together) or that look awkward (lighting, angles). They've been taking up a lot of my time recently, but I got myself into this by volunteering to do it ^^" That's right, it's for free. And I don't get to see my name on those pics either (which I think is fair, since I agree with only the photographer's name being shown). I'm more of the "shady editor" XD But it's nice to see the photos you edited being put on a wall and people admiring them! ^___^ *feels all warm and fuzzy inside*
Ah, the PS projects. Since the panorama thing, I've grown to dislike PS >_> Never thought it would come to this. But yeah, I had to force myself to finish some older projects and newly-started ones, like a Princess Tutu wallpaper - I'll upload it here too, later. I also had time to make a layout for my Minitokyo page . And just for the fun of it, here are more avatars. They're all from Benjamin's artwork:
Ah, I just can't wait to get rid of the Maths term paper~! I have to study for a lot this weekend so I don't know if I'll be able to comment on a lot of stuff, but I did get to some of you ^__^ *proud of self* Anyway, I hope your weekend is better than mine! *hugs* See you next time!
