Sleeeep

Okay, It's been two full insane weeks (Yesterday on my birthday I realized that I had forgotten what free time felt like).
I turned in another version. Wish me luck.
I must now sleep... Gotta leave early tomorrow.

To the Desert

I'm leaving tomorrow, and will be gone for five days. I do not think I will have any internet access during that time.
I don't even know the last time I was away from the internet for so long! XD I'm going to have so many Deviantart messages when I get back... I watch too many artists. It'll take me forever to get through all of their updates.
I'm going to bring my laptop, in the hope that I'll actually get to write some of Evva's story for the first time in 2 weeks... (I'd be happy to write anything that isn't my project).

I'm also trying to get caught up on blog posts for the month. Hence four posts in the past two days. I had to think of fairly quick things to write about, because I'm still trying to get my project turned in before I leave (the same thing I've been spending all of my last 2 weeks on, though I did boycott it for my birthday yesterday. I wasn't going to let it ruin my day).

I'm going to Zion with a group from school. And I think we'll be in Death Valley for a bit too. I've never been there before, so it will be fun to see.
And rather appropriate, considering all the stuff I've been reading about Edward Abbey for my project's literature review.
I don't really know anything about the trip, or who will be on it. There's not much info, oddly. It will be interesting to see how it goes.
I'll let you know when I get home!

Nerdy and Classy Collide

Thought I'd show off one of the presents I got.


Skirt preorders- closing soon!!! by cryptosilver on DeviantArt... ... It's the Espeon one
I told my cousin that this skirt is a blend of the nerdy and the classy.
Which got me thinking.
It would be really awesome to do a bunch of artwork from anime, videogames, and so on, but in a really fancy style like this. We could make clothes and other stuff out of the fabric. So unless you already knew the characters, you wouldn't be able to recognize it as "nerdy stuff." That way all us nerds can have our own inside joke, and be both nerdy and classy at the same time. Heheh.
Only fellow nerds would recognize us.

Into It

When I get into something new, whether it be a book, anime, game, or group, I get very passionate about it.

You can probably tell.
Undertale is the newest.
But there have been many. It seems rather regular for someone to recommend something to me, and I get more excited about it than they are XD
Like when Nick recommended Wicked.



I also get super attached to fictional characters.
Again... you can probably tell. Today my cousin was telling me how the game was made for you to choose whether or not you kill the characters. And I went "No! I will stop you from killing them! And so will Fern!"

~Birthday~

It's my birthday today~
Some family came over, and we ate lots of good food.
I discovered my cousin is also an Undertale fan. So yaay!
Except I'm desperately trying to talk him out of doing the genocide route...
Nooo. Don't do it. TT^TT You're my baby cousin. I can't let you be evil (My baby cousin is now a lot taller than me).

Overcrowded

I've mentioned before that they torn down a racetrack by the traintracks. And for a few years, it was an empty lot.
Instead of a place for people to do stuff. They just left it a big empty lot of dirt and garbage.

The last couple years, when it rained, a really pretty pond would form in a dug-out area. And cattails would row there, and ducks would swim in it.

Not anymore.

Now they're filling the huge massive plot with row upon row of apartment buildings.
Traffic is terrible enough already. During traffic, it can take 45 minutes to reach a place that's 10-15 minutes away.
When these new apartments are filled, I can't even imagine how much worse it will be.
What are the developers thinking? The place is too crowded already. Stop cramming more people in.

Developers don't care about any of this stuff. Not the resulting traffic. Not the cool horse track that used to be here. Not the pretty duck pond that would appear in the winter.
Bleh.

When you don't want to hate someone, but you kind of want to hate them...

Yeah. Grad school is not going great.
Again.
I'm resisting ranting about it.
But I also want to keep some sort of update going on with it, since it is about my writing, and this blog is about writing.
So, the title of this post accurately describes my feelings for the past week (and kind of the past year).
I don't hate anyone, actually. But I hate working with certain people now... yeah.
It's been a reeeaaalllly weird week and a half.
