Will I ever learn again?

Okay, I'm starting to go stir-crazy here.

I haven't been out of house, but once, since Friday night. I tried to go to school on Tuesday (we were off Monday), but the substitute bus driver went straight past me and I had no other way.
Wednesday, school was closed because of snow that didn't hit till the afternoon.
Today school was closed because of the same snow storm.
Tomorrow school's closed because of the storm and all the power outages in the area.

I'll never learn again!!!

But really, I'm going start going bonkers if I don't get out of this house soon...

Time for me to talk about the epic snow storm.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Time for to start finishing posts before the power goes out....

I was able to get out of the house, for a little while at least. Yesterday, I made my mom take me to IHop so I could get out of the house.
When I came home, the power was out again. It sucked donkey balls.

But I shall now actually talk about the epic snow storm....

Wake up on Wednesday, and the sky really isn't doing much. There's a little bit of slushy ice stuff, but nothing else. I turn on my tv, and it tells me that schools are closed in my county. While I was a bit peeved, it was nice to just go right back to sleep.
I wake up, around noonish, let's say. I'm iming with Kytti, who's getting mountains of snow up in Frostburg. I'm jealous of this and ask her to send it down my way. She said no, unless I give her proper sacrifice. A little after this, it starts hailing. The hail then turns to sleet which turns to big fluffy snow. It was actually really pretty at first. And I was thankful that I had to bring in some wood (we have a very nice fireplace) before the wood got all snow-covered.
As pretty as the snow was, it was also very dangerous. It took my cousin 5 1/2 hours to get home because of how bad the roads were. This was in part because of the snow, but also because of everyone trying to get home at once. Around 8pm, the power goes out.
It. Sucked. A lot.
It's always fun at first, but in to the next day it's just so boring.

Obviously, there's no school on Thursday, and the power is still out at my place. So I read my book and crochet some and play in my DSi (hellz yea, Bejewled Twist). But, thank the Gods, the power came back on around 7 that evening!

But then when I get back from lunch with my mom on Friday, the power's back out. Luckily, it wasn't out for too long. Around nine or ten, my cousin came home. She walked in to the kitchen, lit a candle she had just bought and said 'Fuck a bunch of Pepco! (our electricity people)' BAM! Lights come on. She looks up and said 'Fuck you kindly?'.
We then proceeded to make stew and watch Kung-Fu Panda. It was pretty awesome.

This morning, the power went out, but only for about two hours.

And that ends my tale of the snow storm. But not this blog post!

I've realized the past couple days that I'm not good at being alone and I've seemed to gone into some sort of relapse with the breakup with Arthur...

Just lately, it feels like everything is reminding me of him and it's depressing. Now I'm not going to go too in to it because I'm feeling pretty good right now.
I will say that I may edit my aim list some in the next couple days and I teared up a smidge bit earlier today.

But after going outside and spending time in the sunshine (well, actually, it was really cloudy... it was supposed to snow again. But you know what I mean!) while breaking up branches (Some HUGE limbs fell in our yard. The top of one tree actually got caught in the phone lines attached to our house and we had to it ourselves...). It felt really nice and almost immediately made me feel better.

The interview with the Art Institute of Seattle went pretty well. I was a little disappointed because he never actually asked for my art, but what can ya do?

Oh! Something awesome!
I'm going to see (as soon as my cousin puts the money in my account so I can by the ticket) Halestorm with my friend Josh in March! But the best part of it? It'll be completely unsupervised!
Mwahahahahaa!
Because it's in Baltimore, my mom's driving me up there in the afternoon and I'll be crashing at his place (the show's on a Saturday) and get picked up the next day. I honestly didn't think my mom or aunt were going to go for it, but they seemed just fine with the idea.
I'm certainly not complaining.

Another awesome thing? I've recently realized that I love Viking Metal. I found this song on YouTube and then went and downloaded the CD (Listening to Viking Metal while falling asleep is a very, very weird experience). Finding more of their stuff on YouTube led me to find this song, and I went and downloaded all of their music.
So if you know of any Viking Metal you'd think I'd enjoy, just lemme know.

The last thing I'll be talking about tonight is something that I've decided that I'll start doing. That something?
Lists.
I'm going to start writing a list every night of things I'm going to accomplish for the next day. I'm also going to try to post the lists on here, to give you people something to read because none of you have given me anything you want me to talk about (I'm still open to ideas!).

Here's hoping I didn't forget anything I wanted to talk about. Night all!
(Oh! Here are my P365 pictures.)

My sharpie died...

My sharpie died, so I can't continue working on the art project touch-up I was doing.
Course it doesn't help that the sharpie I was using was one of those mini ones. They're so tiny and run out of ink so fast...

So now I'm watching The Big Bang Theory and considering doing some beading. A family friend just gave a whole bunch of really pretty glass beads and I'm not too sure what to do with them.
And now I've realized that there's this bar of chocolate on my desk and I think I'm going to eat it while I tell y'all about my week.

There was the epic party of awesomeness on Thursday.
People came over. There was dancing in my Christmas-light lit room. Then there was lots of junk food and we played Munchkin. Then we tried to play Munchkin and truth-or-dare at the same time. Then we just gave up and ended up playing truth-or-dare until part of the party had to depart at midnight. The other half of the party (Kytti and my friend Trevor) stayed till the next morning. Well, they didn't actually go to sleep, but stayed up all night talking. I tried to stay up with them, but I had to try to get some sleep for my English exam.

Which, by the way, was slightly challenging and somewhat enjoyable.

Friday night my cousin decided that she, my aunt, and I would go to Outback for dinner. It. Was. Awesome.

Saturday I spent doing nothing. I did jack-shit all day. It was rather fantastmical.
That is until I was outside with the doggies and saw a car hit a telephone pole in front of my house. Scared the bejeebus out of me. It didn't look like anyone was hurt too bad, but still pretty freaky.

Today was pretty relaxed as well. There was breakfast and Chipotle's and dinner and me freaking out about my phone interview tomorrow.

Oh my gods, I have a phone interview with a college tomorrow!!

Speaking of that, I have some more pictures that I'd like you all to look at if you wouldn't mind. You can find my new Deviant Art account here, let me know which of these you think I should add in.

Just use 1 through however many there are to let me know which ones you're interested in.

And before I depart for the evening, is there anything you readers (though I only know of like three people that read it on a regular basis. How many people actually read it?) want to know my opinion on? Something you want me to talk about? Some days I just have no idea what to write about, so I just don't write about anything.

Have a good evening!

Gah!?

Okay. So. I got quite a bit to talk about today. Well, at least exciting stuff. I think it's exciting...
I guess it's really not a whole lot.

Sorry! Got off topic.

So I'm sitting at my computer last night (wasting time, because what else do I do?) when my phone starts a-buzzin'. I don't recognize the number at all, but what the hell. I pick it up anyway.
It was The Art Institute of Seattle.
Holy shit, right?
I end up talking to the representative (he was really nice) and he asked if I wanted to schedule a phone interview, because that's part of their application process. Of course I say yes and he's all like 'Well, how's Monday? At say, 5 your time?' That works for me. We say our goodbyes and I hang up.
Then it hits me.

I have a phone interview.
With a college I kinda really wanna go to.
On Monday.

Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!?!?!?

That was my reaction all last night and a little bit into today when I was telling my art teachers about it. Donald (my amazing art teacher that's like a farther to me) helped me pick out the best of my best work that I have on DeviantArt and suggested that I make a new account. When the interview will be going on, I have to be on the computer too so that way I can send them work and we can look at web pages about the school and stuff.
I dunno what screen name to give the new account though.
CScullen, maybe?

Today was lots of fun too, I found out that I love working with chalk pastels. My jeans are proof of that (the one leg is kinda really covered in streaks of the stuff from my hands).
I also realized that I have a shit ton of art to do during second semester and fuck if I'll be able to get it all done in time.

I haven't felt very motivated as of late, so I haven't really been doing anything that's good for me school-wise. This could be because it's the end of the semester and teachers are done teaching and just trying to make you remember all the stuff they shoved in our heads. Or it could be a combination of that with my missing almost a week, the weirdness of exams, and still feeling 'blarg, dun wanna move' from winter break.

Gotta get out of it!

That's one of the reasons I rearranged my room.
But it's not done.
Which is bad.
Cuz I have people coming over tonight for a kinda-but-not-really party.

You see, we weren't supposed to be having school tomorrow. But then it snowed/iced and school got canceled. That caused all of the exams to be pushed back a day. So instead of taking my English exam today, I had to take my Spanish exam (which wasn't too bad, but still).

Anyway, I still haven't finished cleaning my room, which will make it very hard to party and dance and frolic and such.

Suppose I should get on that, huh?

Before I go! Could you fair readers do me an awesome? (that means favor, by the way).
Well, actually two.

1-Let me know what you think my DeviantArt screen name should be when I'm talking with the college
2-Give me feedback on my photos (the link will take you too them).

I'll put up P365 pictures tomorrow!

As promised, here are the missed Project 365 (which shall now be known as P365) pictures.

I'm not dead, I swear!

Right, so this past week has been slightly hectic.
I ended up missing everyday of school except Friday (and the only reason I went was because exams started) because I was sick. Got to a doctor on Wednesday and it turns out I have/had strep throat. The doctor even said 'I've never had a strep test come back positive so quickly.' So I  musta really had it.
Anyway, I'm feeling much better now. Just got a little sniffle, a slight cough, and my throat hurts in the mornings. But then I take my anti-biotic and eat something and I feel just fine.

On Friday I started rearranging my room and wow is it different. Before I had a my one large dresser blocking a window and I moved that to the other side of my room. I can actually see my TV from my bed now.
This may or may not be a good thing. Cuz it's awesome I can lay in bed and watch TV without having to contort myself at funny angles, but that means that I can just lay in bed and do nothing and watch TV (even though I get all of five channels).
Another good thing about the placement of my TV is that I can no longer see it from my desk. So I can't watch TV and sit and my desk and be on the computer and just. Just feels weird cuz now if it's on, it's right behind me.
My room just feels much more open now. Hell, my cousin woke me up this morning by just opening my curtain because now the light'll shine right now my bed. Didn't used to be able to that.

What else can I talk about?

Schedule for next semester! I made it awesome! Hopefully I'll have much more free time and actually use that time for doing things. Honestly, I thought my counselor was going to fight me on the three classes I wanted to drop, but she didn't really care too much. But yea, my schedule is not going to be
A Day                              B Day
AP Studio                        AP Studio
AP Psych                         Photo 2
                                        English
I dunno about you, but that seems like an epic schedule. I have art every day and only two really academic classes. If I'm smart, I'll use the free time to get work done and make my art awesome.

Speaking of art, I have to get on that before it gets too late...

Man, I have a shit ton to do tomorrow.
-Gotta finish arts
-Gotta do a math project that's due Tuesday (Fuckin' math...)
-Go through my massive amounts of clothes and crap with Kytti

That's my main objective of tomorrow; Get rid of clothes and crap that I either don't need, don't use, or don't even remember that I own. If you're interested in any of my crap that I'm giving away, just let me know and I'm sure we can arrange something.

Alright, I'm gonna head off now. And by that I mean go back to watching Eddie Izzard instead of finishing up my room.
And! I'll post the Project 365 pictures that I don't have up.

Right, I'm leaving now.

Why this week!? (I really need to start finishing entries instead of just leaving them half-assed)

Okay, so, exams start Friday. Usually that wouldn't bug me in the least, but I'm pretty yucky sick. Friday I was fine and had a good time with my fellow War Kittens and then epic time partying that night. Saturday I felt just kinda 'bleh', but was able to survive.
Sunday is when shit hit the fan....

When I woke up, I was so congested... I could hardly breathe out of my nose, my throat felt dry and like it was half closed. My ear also felt clogged and I had a little trouble hearing out of it. It was very much not the fun. I tried to

Something...

I feel like I dreamed something important. I can't... I can't remember what happened. There was someone there I hadn't met before. We kissed.
Maybe I had met him before?
Damn it. I can't remember. It's driving me mental and I've only been up for a couple hours.

Why do dreams always have to do this to me?

Never going to do that again....

So last night I learned two very important things....

1.Shotgunning a beer will very likely make you vomit (and if congested, you'll smell nothing but vomit for the rest of the night)
2.I need to learn to be more assertive.

I'd say 'as per usual', but the parties that occur at my place are starting to become not quite so 'usual'. The only reason we (and by we, I mean more my cousin Heather than myself) had some of our (they're actually her friends, but have all grown to love me so I also refer to them as my friends and will for this just to make things easier) friends over. Mainly because there's so much extra booze left over from New Year's (Hell, even after last night we have a shit ton...) and my cousin didn't work till late the next day.

But yes. There was much drinking. I stopped when I vomited off the porch...
Lemme esplain.

We started the night off with a shot of GM, then we moved on to a Jager Bomb. After that, I made a drink that was mostly vodka and some coke, and then we had another Jager Bomb! I was fine for a while, at least until we started to play Fuck The Dealer (if you don't know the game, look it up. It's lots of fun). At the start I was doing fine, but towards the end I started to get screwed over. Luckily there were mainly low cards, so I survived. After that, we played kings. Now that's the game that really got me...
For those of you that don't know how to play, I'll tell the main part you need to know to understand my story. When you play Kings, you spread a deck of cards around a beer and go in a circle pulling cards. Each card is assigned a different meaning (5 is guys, Ace is social, 2 is you, etc.). But if you pull a king, you have to put it on top of the beer. If you pull the last beer then you have to chug the beer. Well, I didn't pull it, but someone that had to drive home did.
My smart ass volunteered to chug half of it, but next thing I know, I'm standing on the porch with people, getting ready to shotgun it. I did alright, was able to get a little more than half before I couldn't take it. Then I let out the loudest, deepest burp I think I've ever had. Probably wasn't even a minute later that I was leaning off the porch throwing up. And because I was so congested, I smelled vomit whenever I breathed through my nose for the rest of the night.
I ended up being okay. But I'm not done, there's still more to my fantasmical story.

So there was this guy that came with one of my friends last night, we actually shotgunned a beer at the same exact time. We ended up talking and talking and talking aaaaand he tried to make a move (by that I mean kiss me). I wasn't exactly comfortable with that not because of him, but because of the people that were inside and on the porch and stuff (they would've probably beat his face in because he's older than I am). I tried to let him know, but he kinda didn't stop. By the end of the night, I kept running back inside because he was getting pretty close to me and I didn't want that. One of my friends ended up giving me a drunken talk about how if I want someone to stop doing something, I need to tell them and stand by it, not just pussy out and drop hints that they should stop.
That's why I'm going to add 'Be more assertive.' to my New Years resolutions.

But yea, that was my Friday night. Hell, that wasn't even Friday day.... That I will get to tomorrow in between psychology vocab and art worksheets and projects.

Project 365

I really gotta stop taking these pics right before I got to bed... And need to learn to not be blinded by the flash. Cuz then I end up turning off the flash and you guys have to look at the fuzzy pictures. Night all!

How Do I Look?

Holes in my face
Ink on my skin
A cigarette in my mouth

Baby let's begin

Or are you too afraid to approach?

Does my metal scare you?

How about the designs

                plastered to me?

Don't let that stop you.

I wouldn't hurt a fly.

The start of my Project 365 photos. There shall be many more to come.

Back again, back again.

*sigh* Sometimes I really hate technology. I spent a good part of third period today working on this awesome entry and when I pull it up this afternoon to edit, I hit the wrong thing and it gets deleted... Anyway, let's see how much of it I can remember, shall we?

The past couple days have certainly been interesting.... Some one came back in to my life, in a sense I lost another. I learned some new things about myself and made decisions that will hopefully come out for the better. I also recently became a single female...

Ah, the start of a new year. A time to think about what one wants to complete it the upcoming days and the adventures that one could end up going on. It's also a time to remember the past; people lost and loved, the fun times had and the wisdom learned.

My apologies for my more serious tone... The past two days have been rather tiring on my mind and my emotions, so that's just the way I've been when I get to being alone...

Let's talk about something slightly happier now.
Giftmas!

I got the only thing I asked for this year and several things that I didn't. Let's see... I goooot
-iPod Classic 160gig (The only thing I wanted and thought that it was all I was going to get, but I got a happy suprise)
-A 10-Speed hand-mixer (My mom said cuz I've been making tons of cookies lately)
-A Caf-Pow! cup from the show NCIS
And I got a bunch of other little goodies as well. It was a good Christmas.
One awesome thing about Christmas this year, after I wake up and head downstairs... I look out the window and it's snowing! I have no memory of it ever snowing on Christmas in my life, so it was really awesome. Unfortunately, it stopped after a couple hours and was just about melted by the end of the day.
Oh! I almost forgot! One of my presents was a hair cut at my favourite salon. If you watch Warehouse 13, then you'll know what I'm talking about when I say I subconsciously got the same hairstyle as Claudia Donovan. I very much am pleased with the way it turned out.

New Years! Ah, New Year's Eve!
It was lots and lots of fun, in my opinion. My cousin had a party and usually I would invite a couple of friends over, but this year I only invited one. My best friend (and sista from another mista... an momma) Kytti! Our plan was to have an epic marathon of Eddie Izzard stand up, but ended up partying downstairs with my cousin and all of her friends. I'll admit, I had a little bit to drink, but didn't get nearly as drunk as some of the people there. Overall it was a fun party, though Kytti and I did try to watch some of Eddie... Though we really didn't even finish one DVD before we ended up calling it quits and going to sleep (understand though, this was at around 3 or 4am, so it's not like we were cutting the night off early or anything. We're not wussies!)
On New Year's Day we went to the movies (after cleaning up the house, of course) and saw the new Chronicles of Narnia movie. It. Was. Epic. I highly recommend going to see it.

Now when the new year rolls around, we're supposed to make a list of things that we're going to do that will help us change for the better (even though most of us never stick to them...). I decided that I'd create my own list too...
-Exercise/stretch every other day
-Be more decisive
-Start once again studying Wicca and get back in to practicing.
-Update my blog on a regular basis (Sorry about my continual dissappearences people, I'm gonna aim to update at least twice a week)
-Do a type of Project 365 (Where I take a picture of myself every day for a year.)
With the picture one, I may start putting them on here. That way you people can also see how I'm changing and junk like that.

Okay, so I think that about wraps it up...

Wait! I lied! I almost forgot to mention! My sissy is coming in tonight and I'm going with my mommy to pick her up. I can't wait. I love her bunches and miss her a lot. (She lives in Seattle right now).

Right, now I'm done. I think? Yes. All done.
