Hush, Love, Don't cry,
It'll be alright,
Hold me close,
As I administer the dose,
Listen to my lullaby of lies.

So, Spring Break was okay. I got home and found out I no longer had access to wireless interwebz in my room. Somehow, the neighbors found out that "someone" was stealing wireless interwebz from them, so they got a password-protected wireless interwebz...It made me sad. And maybe a bit frustrated...So, rather than wrestle with dial-up, I made friends with my World Civ 2 reading, which was a book called The River Between. It's by some Kenyan guy...I think it's fiction, but he used it to describe how Kenya was colonized and stuff. I'm about halfway finished, and it's due tomorrow at 10 am, along with a Study Question, which basically says to write the NEXT chapter for the book! I'm pretty sure that if the book's already published, the Kenyan dood doesn't want another chapter added....
Anyways, I also made friends with the living room couch and the tv. Thank Jeebus for DirecTv! And CSI...I watched a lot of CSI...Including both CSI: New York AND CSI: Miami! :D
On Monday, I got to hang out with Kytten, Mantha, and KitKat. We got to see Kytten's new apartment. It's small, but it's cool. Me and Kytten made plans to go to Memphopolis on Tuesday, but my mommy said no...Actually, she said, "It's too dangerous. Plus it's going to storm on Tuesday." Lo and behold, it stormed on Tuesday. But the storm didn't come until AFTER Kytten and I would've been back! >.<
I got to play Kingdom Hearts 2...But I couldn't figure out how to hook my PS2 up to the big screen tv in the living room, so I had to borrow my little brother's PS2, as well as his tv and his room. He was at work, so it was okay. I gained a newfound hatred for Roxas whilst I played...Seriously, I hated him the first time I played through, and now I hate him even more!! The kid can't do crap!! I wanna get Sora back...Unfortunately, now that I'm back at college, I virtually have NO time to play....Sora will have to stay sleeping in that bubble...
Friday, I came back to Clarksvegas. I unloaded my car, checked the interwebz from which I'd been deprived, and then grabbed a few things and headed to Daku's. The two of us got to have MUCHO alone cuddly time at his house. His parents and little sister were on a cruise. His other sister was at her nurse's house...She's autistic. Anyways, I can't disclose any of the events that took place...It was just a bunch of cuddling...And movie-watching...We saw "12 Rounds" on opening night! That was a kick-ass movie...And last night, he decided it was a good idea for us to watch "Quarantine" together...He was wrong...We stopped it about half-way through...I'm sorry, but the idea of UBER RABIES does not appeal to me...Neither does watching an old lady bite a chunk out of a policeman's neck...He did buy me a Kingdom Hearts 2 t-shirt from Hot Topic, though...
I got some good quality skin-color markers yesterday at Hobby Lobby. They're Prismacolor. I got, like, 5 skin shades, a random stone shade, a new black marker (my old one is running out!), and a colorless blender. I can't wait to use them! They were 30% off...I love sales! XD
So, now I'm here. At college. In my room. With quite a to-do list. Seriously!! Here it is:
To-Do List
~finish The River Between
~write the Study Question
~read assigned chapter for Families & Students presentation
~draw self-portrait for Figure Drawing
~pick out 11 works for Sophomore Review
~"finish" works (i.e. mount them)
~write artist's statement for Sophomore Review
~finish 2 commissions for a couple of people on campus
~work on entry for jamo's OC challenge
I dun wanna do it!! TT^TT Oh well...Guess I better get to it anyways...
Oh!! The Twi-Tards are out of hand...Seriously, check out this link. I mean, I know "Twilight" is an "international sensation", but COME ON, PEOPLE!!! IT'S NOT WORTH MAKING AN ASS OUT OF YOURSELF JUST BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T AGREE WITH YOU!!! I think the Twi-Tards may have caught the uber rabies...
Well, that's it for now. Stay classy, Otakuites!

Ok, first of all, I have exciting news!! I got on theO and saw that theO's official world had been updated, so I checked it. It was the Caption Battle update. I was reading through the announcement of last week's winners, and I got to the first-place spot, and lo and behold, my screenname was there in bold black letters!! I can't believe my caption won first place!! I've NEVER won a caption battle the entire time I've been on here!! Not even third place!! And the caption I used for last week was just off the top of my head!! I was so excited I took a screen-cap...
I have an update on my Ranma 1/2 costume. Daku and I finally went to the seamstress today to deliver the fabric and patterns, and explain to her how we wanted it done. I hope we got her enough fabric...She's going to see if she can find us some toggles for the front of the shirt.
I'm still sick, but I think it's getting better. I'm not as congested as I was yesterday. And when we went to the seamstress, we stopped by Daku's house, and he got me some Mucinex DM. I hope this clears up by Friday. I don't feel like driving 3 hours with a cough and a runny nose.
Oh, that's right! You don't know yet! Friday is the start of Spring Break. I'm going home. Luckily, I know about the wireless connection in my room, so I won't have to be on a short hiatus. Mantha's riding home with me. That'll be good, because we need some Mantha-Excel time. And while I'm home, I'm gonna get in some Kytten-Excel time. She says I'll have to come see her new apartment. And maybe we'll get to go to Memphopolis...No, that's not the town's real name, but I'm not letting you people know where I live! There are creepy stalker-rapists on the interwebz...I know, because I met a few on Yahoo Games...Thus, I no longer play online pool...Seriously, this guy kept asking me stuff like what I looked like and what I was wearing and where I lived and if I was hot...I promptly left the game...

So, just a quick update...I was YouTubing and found this video...As soon as I heard the first line of the chorus, I erupted in a fit of laughter. Fair warning, NSFW!! If you don't know what that means, Google it...
So...I've issued a challenge...Go to the Fan Art portal, click Challenges, and scroll down. Mine is the second one from the bottom. I've already gotten 4 entries, and there are 10 participants. I've decided that I'm going to let an unbiased party judge, if theOtaku doesn't judge this...The Challenge feature is the new MONSTER feature Adam has been working on, so no one really knows just quite how it will work...I've also entered Teh Kimmeh's wallpaper challenge. Go check hers out!

So, yesterday was Daku's birthday. I gave him the book Gray's Anatomy, written in the late 1800s by Henry Gray. Daku will need it in 2 years for med school. He's 20 now...Yeah, he's 3 months younger than me...And that's the oldest any of my boyfriends have ever been!! Seriously, I've never dated a guy older than me...Anyways, I also took him out to Subway. We brought the sammiches back to the anime club meeting. At the beginning, I played an "Avatar: the Last Airbender" amv set to the Arrogant Worms' "Happy Birthday Song". I'm too lazy to add a link, so please YouTube it. It's really funny. Then we watched "Grave of the Fireflies". I recommend that movie to anyone who loves a good anime! The style is reminiscent of Hayao Miyazaki's work, but it's not a Studio Ghibli film. It was made back in the late 1980s. It's about these 2 Japanese children near the end of World War 2. Make sure you have tissues ready if you are prone to crying. It's very sad.
So, today, I mixed plaster for my first time ever. It feels like a mixture of snot and glue...No, I've never actually felt what snot and glue feel like mixed together, but I can imagine...Plaster really dries your hands out...
Later this afternoon, I'm going outside and playing with some Sidewalk Chalk. I've got a package that I've had for a year now...I've been waiting for it to get warm again, and today it's like 80 F! Back on Monday, it was like 45 F...So yeah, big temperature jump...Tonight I'm going to Joco Java, the local coffee shop, for Open Mic night. I'm hoping to read a poem of mine...Speaking of, I need to find which one I want to read!
So....HINATA'S NOT DEAD!!!! And there was much rejoicing...
*is shot for Monty Python reference*
Um...I entered Teh Kimmeh's wallpaper contest...So I'll be working on an uber-secret project...I think my idea's really kick-ass, and I don't want anyone to steal it...

I had an interesting weekend. Me and Daku followed his mom and Ceara up to Camp Formosa (a church camp 2 hours away from here) for a SCA event. It snowed off and on all day. In the morning, 4 people collapsed. They were all traveling together and had stayed in the same building (it was an overnight event). One went down, then another, then the 3rd guy collapsed, and then a fourth person...3 ambulances, 3 marked police cars, 2 unmarked police cars, and several emergency response people came out to take care of the situation. They think it was either carbon monoxide (sp?) or food poisoning. 3 of the people were released and back on site after a while, but the 3rd guy that went down had had a stroke on Monday, went into convulsions when he collapsed yesterday, and started having flashbacks of when he was in Iraq, so the hospital kept him overnight. I hope he's okay.
I finished my Teacher Education Application...Now I'm waiting to hear when my interview is set for...I've also got a test tomorrow in my World Civ 2 class...And I've gotta get some pieces together for Sophomore Review...And I've gotta do 2 charcoal portraits for one of my Education teachers...I'll be getting $30 off of that...And at some point when I have free time, I'm going to take pictures of my old Watercolor work and some of my Figure Drawing work and upload them on here...I'm not so sure about uploading the FD pictures...They're of naked girls...
