Added Keryn-chan's Blog to my links ^_^ Didn't know she had acquired a blog until recently. ^ ^ Wai! ::glomps Keryn::
Along those same lines, she's participating in that Inuyasha blog Marathon thing that Eve got a hair up her butt about, and it spread like wild fire. I would have joined myself, but I don't know enough about Inuyasha to feel right doing so, and also, I do not have time to make a layout. Pluss, Juri-chan still so cute. However...
I am thinking that sometime this summer, I wil be changing the layout. I do WUB this layout, and the black and white with tinges of green (^____^ Green my favorite color!) but I'm thinking I want a side-bar layout next time, so I can put down all sorts of random crap, like those little profiles I'm seeing on people's blogs. ^^;; I'm so weird sometimes. I like green and Juri-chan, but I'm thinking perhaps my next layout will be Utena-themed, as Utena is my current anime obsession (with a side order of Kare Kano). That or LOTR...
Which reminds me, I've had the CUTEST idea for a main-page layout for Soul-MirrorNET. I wanted to this this picture of these two little hobbit children, either both sitting on a grass hill, tree branches over head, and a door visible just below their feet in the side of the hill, or the same setting, with one hobbit sitting on the hill, waving to a more distance figure. This just came to me along with the phrase "Meet Me at Bag End." :;shrugs:: maybe es kinda funky, but I like it, and it haunts me, and DAMNIT, I've watched Fellowship of the Ring at LEAST 6 times these past few days. Well, not legitimately WATCHING it so much as letting it play on my DVD player while I do homework. XD
I wub Hobbits. So small, and cute and cuddly. ^_^ But I hafta go study for my anatomy quiz now. ::gags:: real-life blogging later.

I had the most... Fucked-up dream last night. And you all have to hear about it. Or, you could jsut turn around and leave the page. whatever.
So anyway, It started when I had to go to school. But for some odd reason, my car wasn't working, so dad had to drive me. He went too far, and took the wrong exit on the freeway, and I thought I was gonna be late for class....
But then I got to school and suddenly I was in a really pretty, simple gown. I forget what it looks like now. Everyone at school was in gowns and suits and stuff, and there....was a dance. O.o
So, everyone was doing waltzes and stuff, but everyone was...swithcing partners ever so often, like you would in a square dance. and for some odd reason, I wound up dancing with Viggo Mortenson as Aragorn, except he had shaved, and was dressed all king-like. Now, ths part of the dream made no sense to me, as smell-ranger-man-who-is-future-king is so not my type. Also, none of the LOTR guys were there, odd as that may sound...would have prefered dancing with Legolas, or Frodo...
So anyway, I danced with Aragorn for a while, and we talked and he had...somehow known each other vaguely from somewhere, but we didn't get a chance to talk much more...and it came time to switch partners...and I would have wound up dancing with Ross, but decided to sit that dance out for that reason.
I remember something about peaking out into a room and being like "We have some open slots for some girls" and girls would come in and join the weird group dance.. .
And then it was over, and it was raining, and I went outside with my cellphone and got SOAKING WET while trying to get my cellphone menu to work. but it wasn't cooperating. And for some odd reason, it then shifted to...Lilith from Cheers talking to Fraiser, and trying to play match-maker wearing a...funny little fairy costume I think? I dunno, I woke up soon after that.
Dude...no more chocolate chip cookies before bed. X.x

A Quiz:
What Was Your PastLife?
Ya know, I've taken so many frackin' quizes, I think I'm gonna make a page of my quiz results. Hm. Maybe will do that over spring break.
Social Bloggage!
Ram-chan: Ew... That's disgusting. >_< Must be uber-weird too...
Eve-chama: I would have participate din Inuyasha blog marathon, but I...really don't know enough about Inuyasha to feel right doing so.
Sakura-san: I never seen you online anymore...and I'm ALWAYS online XD I don't get to talk to you anymore...
Killiko-chan! It was good talking to you the other day. ^ ^ I hope we actually get to talk more. You're fun to talk to. Also, you had a birthday?! Happy Belated Birthday! ::GLOMP::
Lizzie, if you're reading this, My spring break isn't this week, but next week. First week of March. When is yours? Wanna do something this weekend or next?
Nate, Dude... get some SLEEP for crying out loud XD ::poke:: No more caffeine Jell-o for you.
Hibari suggested that, if my website gets any hits, since we're having trouble coming up witha name for Hero-boy, I should post a name-Hero-Boy contest. XD Will get around to making up a small page with his picture and personality, and general region's information and stuff sometime during spring break. Sounded like a good idea to me XD
Off to shower, finish this picture, and then study a bit in case my cinematography teacher decides to pop a quiz on us.

Ho-kay. Time for some Serious bloggage. ::crakcs her kunckles:: No more of this simple-daily-acounts. Those are boring. ::cracks her wrists, wriggles her fingers, and begins typing::
February is quickly coming to a close. Honestly, this is something I couldn't be happier about. I've always thoguh February was kind of annoying. I mean, there's valentines day, which gets downright annoying when you don't have a significant other... and February is only 28 days. Um...What the hell? Who the hell decided how amny days each month has anyway? ::sighs:: oh well.
This past week, I have been uber busy. Midterms hit and I was jsut SWIMMING in work. I met all ym deadlines though, thankfully, though I've still got some coming up... but I'm not TOO worried about those... what I'm mostly worried about it how I've had to put my personal project on the back burner. And Friday, Melvin through the most utter BULLSHIT assignment at us: he wants us to make an HTML thing, with research on our dream home office. ::rolls her eyes:: Yeah, kiss my ass. I'll do it the week before it's due.
Smiko was out of town this week, so SMI was temporarily dead. It was quite convenient, actually, that she went out of town the same week I had to give up RPing because of mid-terms. But last night, we RPed. T'was fun. Nova now has sort of a spell on Areina, and she basically has to do whatever she's told. I have a feeling Areina's FINALLY gonna get some more CR, and use.
Talked to Liz of Fangirly goodness and cosplaying the other day. I reached the conclusion that sicne she and Joe had plans to go as movie-verse Touga and movie-verse Utena, respectively, that it would be DAMN FUNNY if I went as Movie-verse Shiori, is her excessivly frilly Ohtori uniform. XD Maybe next year... Liz also mentioned that someday she wanted to cosplay in Umi's full armor. I told her if she did that, I would cosplay as a nova-ized Umi. when I say Nova I mean...if you've seen the second Seaosn of MKR, Nova was that evil shadowof Hikaru's heart or soem such. If she went as Umi, I'd take the Nova costume, but switch out the red jems for blue ones, switch the hair with a dark-blue or white Umi-styled hair, and replace the hair peices with one that resemble Umi's when she's in full armor. ^ ^ I'm an sucker for Costume sets, and I think it would make some AWESOME photo Opportunities. While I'm on the subject of cosplay....
Costumes I Want to Make
- Shiori Takatsuki (Adolecense Mokushiroku)
- Shiori Takatsuki (Shojou Kakumei Utena Black Rose Duelist)
- Miki Kaoru (Adolecense Mokushiroku)
- Wakaba Shinohara (Shojou Kakumei Utena)
- Wakaba Shinohara (In Rose-Bride Gown)
- Shadow Girl (Adolecense Mokushiroku)
- Shadow-Heart Umi Ryuuzaki (OC, Magic Knight Rayearth)
- Hikaru Shidou (Magic Knight Rayearth)
- Sailor Star Maker (BSSM: Sailor Stars)
- Sailor Cosmos (BSSM Manga)
- Rubymoon (CardCaptorSakura)
- Juri Katou (Digimon Tamers)
- Hogwarts Student (Hufflepuff, or Gryphindor)
- Mirkwood Elf (Lord of the Rings)
- Hobbit Lass (Lord of the Rings)
Talked to Lizzie again last night. Poor girl was depressed, and missing Joe. I know I'm not much of a substitute for her love, but I try to be there for her when she's down. I try to be there for all my friends when they're down. I honestly do think that moving out would be a good thing for her. Plus, if she had a car, we could see each other more ^_^ Yay! She got offline, and then got to see Joe, so she was in a much better mood later that night.
Ironically, I didn't get to go to the LOTR convention. Even funnier, Sean, who I'd mentioned it to and was looking SO forward to it, couldn't go either because he's in the hole, money wise, and sick as a dog. Serves him right.
I went to the Symphony with my sound class on thursday night. That was sufficiently boring, and would have been even worse if I didn't have my friends there. I also was surprised that I had finished my art project before a lot of people had even STARTED O.o that certainly made me feel good about myself. When I finally saw the final results of eveyrones hands and feet projects, I was very happy: my stuff wasn't as good as some of the others, but it was better than some. I was right in the middle, and that makes me happy. ^_^
Talked to Hibari a bit the other day about how we're gonna go about actually PRODUCING "Devine Stretch". I think we got it figured out though. I asked her if she'd be insulted if I asked to do most of the drawing, and to my surprise, she wasn't. Said she'd already had a solid foot in the door on character design, and storyline... And I aslo told her before I make a page, I'll make a thumbnail of it...and I'll have a sheet of thumbnails, scan and e-mail them to her, and she can give me her imput on the overall look of the page...and then I'd go from there. IT's going to be interestign to see how it works. but we're still LONG from the drawing stage. We need to finish developing the world regions, finish the character designs, give Hero-Boy a NAME, give some of the other characters personalities, AND script it before I can even THINK about drawing it. @.@ Hopefully we can get a lot of that accomplished this summer and, if we're lucky, I could start on it during next winter break, or maybe the end of this summer. I suggested we get a sufficient number of pages completed before poting anything on the internet, so that we're always ahead. Far too many comics out there get started, and don't give themselves any padding, and then have impatient readers who get upset when it's not updated when it's said it would be. ::nodnod::
As I'm looking out the window, I'm amazed at jsut how BEAUTIFUL it is outside. The sky is a brilliant blue, and the few cloud in the sky are big, fluffy, and lit up with sunlight. some of my mom' flowers are starting to poke up through the ground. Silly flowers, don't they know it's winter?
Mom bugged me again today, ecause I stood firmly on the fact that Sex-Does-Not-Interest-Me. She says "Dont' say that! It makes me think I need to take you to the doctor to have your hormones checked!" ::pounds her head on the table:: I guess it hasn't occured to her that I may be Asexual. Ya know, just not INTERESTED. and I probably WILL change my mind someday... but for gods sake, I'm just happy as can be with my roleplaying, and my video games, and my art and work... ::sighs:: whaetever. I'm not even going to bother thinking about it.
I have a lot of work to do today. I have to do the final drawings for my cinmetography assignment, clean out my bag and sort my notes from classes, and then model a boom box and/or a telephone, on top of that. >_<
Right now, I need a shower, and have to go vacuume my parents room before they get back from their walk. Wow...this entry actually had a bit of SUBSTANCE.
Quizes!

Wednesday was rather a bore. Art Class, Sketchbook work, texture mapping...stole a survey from nate (See a few entries back). Nothing of notable occurance happened. Oh wait, I take it back. Nate dropped in to use my art class as an open lab. Yay!
Thursday, February 13, 2003
Hm...what happened Thursday....Well, I went in to the thursday morning art class, for sketchbook pages. Yay. ^_^ Went 2 or 3 pages over. I figrue if I get 55 pages a week, I'll eventually have made up that 20 I missed at the beginning of the semester. Talked to Nate a LOT on this day, and spent the majority of sound class in the back row with him, and we...well, poked each other. ^ ^; t'was quite amusing and entertaining, to say the least. Got home that ngiht, and my parents decided they wanted to give me my valentines day gifts. ^ ^ Mom gave me a pink t-shirt that had an image printed of it on a bottle, and it read "Love Potion number 9" ^ ^ very cute. Also, a pink-and-red striped Tutrtleneck. Dad picked out the most BEAUTIFUL little gold loops with two diamonds and two rubies on each loop. *______* So pretty....
Friday, February 14, 2003
Valentines day! was a total flop. Well, not a total flop, but ya know, Valentines day can be rather pointless when there's no significant other. Oh well. got carted to the Zoo with my art class, eventhoguh the people I rode with got LOST and were LATE, then DITCHED ME at the gate when I stopped to buy an annual pass. -.- found The rest of the clas,s and followed them aroudn until Abbott cut us loose to draw. Spent the day with Nate, until Sterling decided ot leave, and dragged Nate with 'im, 'cause that was his ride. I wandered around the Zoo aimlessly looking for the people I'd gotten a ride with. I found out after I'd foudn them that I'd been wandering for an hour. Didn't get home until 5:00.
Got home, and changed to go out to dinner with my parents. Wore my pretty black suede skirt and my cream ribbed turtleneck. However, we got to the restaurant, and had reservations at 6:15... but they were behind, and we weren't seated until around 7:20. @.@ But dinner was YUMMY! I had shrimp. Mmmmmmm....shriiiiiiiimp....
Saturday, February 15, 2003
Went to Animation class at 10:00 in the morning, and nearly finsihed my Bite and Chew Assignment. Then, after class, I hopped in my car, and Drove all aroudn town, getting art suuplies. I got white and pink sculpy for the Utena ring, plus many many sketchbooks, some pens, mat board, a new prismacolor marker, and all at a 10% student discount! WOOHOO!
Came home after that, and just had a little chicken-noodle-caserole, took and early shower, and working on the rest of the Bite and Chew animation. Yay. Then was lazy. XD
Sunday, February 16, 2003
Today, I spent the day with Liz. ^ ^ Met her at the mall, and then we went shopping for costume accessories, but the onyl store that was OPEN didn't have the wig I neded in stock ;_; But, we went out to lunch, and that was much fun. It also cost less than Lizzie had expected it to be.
We talked of Life, and Fangirly goodness, and Karaoke. I finally decided on the song "Kaze" from one of the digimon tamers singles. ^_^ 'tis pretty, and upbeat, and in my range, so wee!
::sigh:: much work I have to do today. But first, I hafta vacuum, shower, and eat. I go do that now.

I've been trying to reduce the number of days a week that I Write in this in order to make the archived pages at a rate of one-per-month, and not have them too horribly long... But I can't hold back any longer. Must blog.
Sunday was rather a bore. I procrastinated, and then finished my Cinematography homework at the laste ours of the night before sleeping. Also spent a little time talking to Liz's imotou Kirsten. ^_^ Kirsten's fun. We talked abotu Digimon, and Cosplay. She admited guiltily that her favorite Digimon couple of all time was... Kouji x Kouichi! XD I would have flinched in disguts because of the twincest, and she told me not to kill ehr, but the fact of the matter is I've never seen Frontier, and I relaly have no room to talk seeing as one of my favorite couplings / relationships in an anime is Miki x Kozue from Utena, which is yet ANOTHER case of twincest. XD
I have been in a very good mood for the past two days. It all started when I went to Cinematography. Cinematography ALWAYS puts me in a good mood. It's fun. ^ ^ Then I FINALLY rememebred to sotp into the office after class, to sign up for Art210 over the summer. And there was Abbott. So I said my hello's and how-are-you's, and then he decided he wanted to talk to me about my sketchbook. I immeidtaley thoguht "Oh shit, what'm I doing wrong?" but quite the contrary. He happily told me that he could really see me improving, and an increase in my focus this semester. He jsut would like to see some more pages per week. ^____^ Not ONE negative thing, except for the AMOUNT. I was SO HAPPY! I was happy for the rest of the day.
So today, I dreaded, because it is my long day. Talked to Nate off-and-on as always over instant message, while both of us did our work at opposite ends of the room. Then saw Liz online. That converstaion was very breif, but she mentioned forseeing that she would marry Joe in about 2 or 3 years. So! I went laong with my classes and all that Jazz...and then we got a 15 minute break during Animation 150, so I called Lizzie. ^ ^ we talked of fangirly goodness, and online quizes, and what we've been doing. I got a few odd looks, I think. Can't be sure, wasn't paying THAT much attention. Said to her "So....assumign you and Joe DO get married, I get to come to the wedding, right?" and she said "Krystal, you'll probably be one of my brides maids." ^_^ Made me feel very special. She said Kirsten would probably be maid of honor, seeing as it's the sister thing, and then she thinks me, Corey, and maybe Stacy if she can egt time off, for brides maids. ^ ^ But yay! I Feel special, somebody would want me to be a brides maid. ^_____^
And then I spent time after animation with Nate, Karen, and Jody, and we all sat around drawing hands and feet. Nate is really starting to come out of his shell. I Rememebr when he barley used to say two words to me. Now, we talk all the time, he's ALWAYS making smart-ass comments, and he's jsut so darn easy to make laugh, that makes things all the more better. and yes, I know that grammar in that last statement sucks, but I don't care.
Nate found out the guys from Penny Arcade are gonna be at the local con this year, so he's DEFINATELY going now. ^ ^ Told LIZ about the Penny Arcade guys, and SHE was pretty excited about that. We mused that if the Megatokyo people were ever ta the con, we'd go as Miho and Ping. Her as Miho, myself as Ping. We'd probably have Joe go as Piro XD
Woke up craving ANGST today. Fics, RPing, Digimon, Lord of the Rings, ANYTHING, so long as it involved ANGST. Craving is starting to subside, but will read another fic just to make sure.
But that is all for now. I'm waiting patiently for my hair to grow out to it's long length again. I miss it, in all it's ponytailed glory. but I need a shower.

I miss my long hair. ;_; no more hair cuts for me! I'm growing it back out ass length. It was fun for a while...but I jsut keep pulling it back in a ponytail. MOM misses my long hair too. So I'm growing it back out. It's part of me. I don't care if it makes me look like a Kid. I do animation! I'll be a kid forever!
Legitimate blogging at a later date.

Caught Dad's head cold. DAMNIT. But I get ahead of myself again.
Wednesday was a bore. I went to Art class. Aurora was posing again. Yes, the girl whose body I wish I had. OH well, at least she's fun to draw because she's so pretty. Abbott's last remaining grandparent died wednesday morning, so he was not his usual, intimidating self. I stuck around and drew with Nate. Then, I went and worked on my biplane texture assignment, then went home. Got started on my cinematography assignment. Yay! As of Wednesday, only 8 minutes of footage left to document.
Thursday was not much better. I went in to school a bit early, to catch the last hour of this morning's art class. I needed pages for my sketchbook assignment, and we're allowed to sit in on the other lab days. So, that's exactly what I did. think I'll do that from now on... unless I REALLY need the sleep. Aurora was posing again.
I realized about half way through projects class that I was starting to get a runny nose. Seeing as dad had jsut been through a headcold, I immediately cursed whatever beign decided it would be fUNNY to pass the germs along to me. I debated going home, and skipping sound class, in order to nurse myself bck to health before said cold took over the remiander of my week. But no, I stayed. -.- Worked most of the day. Skipped lunch, as was not hungry. Worked almost ENITRELY on the bi-plane, and got very little done, surprisingly. I guess the head cold beginning to set in didn't help.
Nate had told me he would ask Ilya what he thoguht of me. Well, Apparently he thinks I'm "okay" but "heard from a number of people" that I LIKED him, and he found it "Freaky." ::Shrugs:: his loss. I really don't care, since I didn't LIKE him, I just found him cute. I'm just wondering how he "heard from a number of people" that I liked him, considering I mayeb only mentioned him being cute ONCE at school, and that was just casually to Karen.
Woke up Friday morning with full intentions of going to school, but el cold had me bitch-whipped. I was so miserable, I jsut rolled over, said "screw CG" and went back to sleep until about 12:00. then I decided to say "screw Art" too. :P Got a little more than half of my Cinematography assignment done, amoung mini-naps, chatting with friends, making lists, and all around resting. Friday was a waste. XD However, "Still the Prettiest" hoodie arrived! also discovered a web comic called "There be Elves" which seems mildly interesting... but we'll see. I've seen advertisements for it for a while now, and There weren't that many pages to speak of...hope It's not a dying comic, like "Fate Martyr Sapheire" turned out to be.
So today, I dragged my ass out of bed and went to school long enough to sit through the lab, do some half-assed key-frames to get credit for working on the assignment, andwrite out schedules for the next few days. Then, say in my Homeroom for about two hours, trying to get the damn files I needed to attach to e-mails, and send them home. Stupid Computer. Brent also replaced my desktop image with the "Got Breasts" strip from Sparkling Generation Valkyrie Yuuki for about the UMPTEENTH time since I've introduced him to that darn strip. I wish he'd leave my computer alone. I switched the imageback to my Anthy-and-Utena image though, so all is right with the world.
Nate got me the burned footage of the Utena movie, but it's...kinda funny looking in parts. I also haven't gotten Premiere 5.1 LE to cooperate with me yet... it doens't seem to want to read MP3's as acceptable files...::shrugs::
Need to go sleep for an hour or two, to sleep off the rest of this damn head cold, and then get to work. Guess I'll set my alarm clock, to make sure I don't pull a 5-hour nap like I've been known to do.
Is it so much to ask to want a little free time?

Decided on "Still the Prettiest" Hoodie. ^_^ I ordered it late last night before I went to bed. But I'm getting ahead of myself.
Sunday, I spent with the boys. Took them grocery shopping, which is always a scream, then brought them back to watch a couple movies. We watched Shanghai Noon and The Banger Sisters. Both were hilarious. I've officially seen my first Jackie Chan movie. ^_^ Then, I drove the boys back, and once I got home, I downloaded the opening theme to Suikoden III. It's my new musical addiction. ^ ^ I makes me think of the LOTR elves. ::shrug:: go fig.
So Monday was equally unproductive, but I Wasn't in the mood to do work. We thoguht my dog was sick because she was beign really listless and stuff. Had dad take her to the Vet... came back with the knowledge that when dogs strat to loose thier hearing, they can get kind of lethargic, because they can't hear anything to stimulate them. However, when Fluff was brought home, she was perky as ever. Mom thinks maybe she was constipated or soemthing, 'cause my dad says she went poop and pee at the vets. ::shrugs:: I really don't care anymore, i'm jsut glad she's okay.
So, I spent the rest of the day cleaning out my computer, and re-organizing it, giving it a new look. I'm going with a theme of the Shadow Play Girls from Utena. I put together a screen saver with pictures of the Shadow Girls, my desktop image is of them, and I'm even tempted to make a small Shadow Girls webshrine, if I ever get around to my website building. XP Still not finished, but I'll get to it.
I was looking at Lizzie's live journal, and noticed that her icon was Arwen. I found that very unfitting as we have both decided she is Scary-Elf-Bitch-Galadriel, SO! I sought out pictures of Galadriel, inverted them into those colors she takes on when she goes momentarily evil-ish in the moive, added some pretty borders and the words "Fear the Darkly Beautiful" and surprised 'er with 'em. ^ ^ She liked, which makes me very happy. ^ ^ Arwen doth not suit her.
Speaking of Lizzie, I spoke to her today, and she told me her and Joe's costume plans had changed. instead of going as Nanami and Touga, they're gonna as Movie!Utena and Movie!Touga -- With LIZ as TOUGA. XD This outta be a scream, and a sight to see, that's for sure.
Spent a few hours today jsut sitting around, talking and drawing with Nate and Sterling. We touched upon some very strange and personal topics, but I really didn't mind. and it's really fun to get a peak at the inner workings of the male mind. Nate pretty much knew about my thoughts on Ilya, and now, so does Sterling. Nate's gonna talk to Ilya, and kinda find out for me what he thinks of me. I like to be educated before I start talking to someone. makes me feel a bit more secure, if you know what I mean.
Nate's an Angel. Seriously, he's really nice to me, which doesn't happen very often unless guys have an ulterior motive. Plus, he's gotten me copies of 3D MAX and Photoshop, now he's burning the Utena footage onto computer-format for me. Then, today in the DigiPen chatroom, he spoke up for me when I lost track of the chat, and Ginger was saying Sena and I were "doing nasty stuff" in her car on halloween. EXCUSE ME, but I Wa under the impression Sean was a friend as the time, and seeing as I was sleepy, it made more sense to lean against SEAN, than to lean against the perfect STRANGER next to me. and yeah, Sean tried to kiss me, but I politely, quietly turned him away, every time. We never DID anything. Damnit Ginger, she had no right to go talking about that stuff, and elabortaing like that. She had told us not to do things in her car that night, even when we WEREN'T doing anything in the first place. -.- Stupid Ginger. I officially dislike her. Made me sound easy, and careless, when that couldn't be farther from the truth. But Nate knows about what happened, and he stood up for me. Yay for good friends. ^_^
Am thinking of hanging out with Liz this weekend, but will depend on if I get my acttogether and work more this week. I have some things I need to do. I will make a resolution right now: I'll only hang out with her if I finish my Bi-plane texture for the most part, finish my "throw" animation, AND finish my cinematography assignment (for the most part). Those are the essential things for this week.
I part with a few quizes. ^_^ Today's Theme: Love/Relationships/Sexuality

Hokay, where to begin. Friday was evil, as always. I was a nervous wreck over Anatomy Test-ness, and then ended up passing. So it's all good. Justin has a DVD quality bootleg of The Two Towers, and I think he's gonna burn me a copy. *_* ::drools:: While in class on friday, I kept shoot Ilya sheepish little smiles. He's so cute when he's smiling. ^ ^ I think he smiled back at me in art class, unless he was having some sort of mental/visual converstaion with someone behind me. Friday night, I incidently had a dream where he came up and hugged me. Odd, but nice. ^ ^
Saturday, was fun. Got up and went to animation class, where Monte showed us how to use flash. Flash is cool. I got very little DONE, because I ran out of paper. ::Sigh:: Went to see Gangs of New York with Nate. That was fun. ^ ^ Nate's really nice, and he's fun to hang out with, and I'm discovering it's actually really easy to make 'im smile. I love making people laugh and smile, it gives me warm fuzzies. ^_^ Gangs of New York was... amusing. everyone in that movie was insane, and for as much blood as there was, the blood looked extremely fake. I don't think blood is supposed to be tranluscent. ::gags:: oh well. The sets and stuff were amazing though. Will get around to wrting that one-page paper...sometime before next cinematography class. Was very happy to learn Nate ALSO had a good time, and that I didn't annoy him. Always a plus! ^_^
I made Nate read the Very Secret Diaries of the Fellowship, and then showed him the sweatshirt I wanted to buy. I'm torn between the "Sam Will Kill You..." hoodie and the "Still the Prettiest" hoodie. He says I should get "Still the Prettiest." They used to have "Pervy Hobbit Fancier" and "Pervy Elf Fancier." I am tempted to make a "Pervy Hobbit Fancier" T-shrt with the iron-on paper stuff I have, and include little chibified anime heads of Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin. ^_^ Might make a "Pervy Elf Fancier" shirt for Kelsey, with a little chibi Legolas, since Legolas is her main source of swooning in the LOTR movies. Also have another idea, which I will not divluge, because the person I'd planned it for reads my blog, and I'd rather it be a surprise. XD
After the movie, I had a SPLITTING head ache from sitting too close to the screen. So, took a 3-hour nap. XD Then decided to check blogs and such...
Lizzie-chan had a minor -- no, make that major -- emotional breakdown last night. So I called her, being the good friend that I try to be. If she didn't live so far away and I'd actually REMEMBERED how to get to her house, I would have got in my car and drove over to see her and give her big hugs. But, I sat on the phone with her for a couple hours, just trying to give some emotional support. I don't fully understand, from her point of veiw, how it must feel for what she's going through with Joe, but she's going through some similar things as me. We're both sort of loosing our circle of friends as our lives progress, and our friends are casting us asside for one reason or another (Her friends mostly because she's "not weird enough" and mine mostly because I'm "not normal enough"). I think we've come to find a friend in each other at the time when both of us really need one. We're both fiercely loyal, not the type to break friendships, and more likely to be dumpees than dumpers. I told her I'd always be there for her, unless she decided she didn't need or want me, and I think that made her feel a little better.
Had a very random dream last night which included bike riding in the rain, even though I Was at some sort of indoors place, and streets signs that I don't remember, being very tired from climbing up some sort of tower and all these...goop-like digimon thingies... and a breif moment where mom blurted out to Ilya that I thoguht he was cute, and then he hugged me and said he thoguht I was cute too. ^ ^ He was so just so adorable. Second night in a row he made a breif appearance in my dreams, and hugged me. ::Blinkblink:: kinda odd really, but he is such a cutie that I just wanna squeeze 'im.
I told mom last night that I don't want to pursue any particular guy in THAT sort of way right now. I want to be friends with as many people as possible, and if things develope from there, they develope.
Taking Alex and Andrew gorcery shopping today. Will report on the rets of the day at a later date. ^_~
