I recently took the liberty of making a few changes to my blog, and it's archives. I removed the links to some of my friend's blogs/journals, and also the links to their blogs/journals from within past past entries. I did this because, I was reminded by a little voice at that back of my head that while I am discrete and vague in my descriptions of locations in the world where I stand, my friends are not. I don't want to take the risk of any unsavory types reading their journals and finding them, or by reading their journals, their names mentioned in my journal, put two and two together, and come after me. I've too much stress and things to worry about in my life without having to worry about crazy internet stalkers. Liz, Nate, nothing personal. I still like you guys. ^_^
That having been said, let's proceed with normal bloggage.
Wee! Monday, cinematography, was fabulous as always. I love my cinematography teacher. He mentioned nce being Abbott's evil twin. I Think that's evil twin in the sense of that one south park episode, where cartmans "Evil Twin" was actually the good one. XD We were given our next assignment, and also given an extra credit assignment: see "Gangs of New York" and get 50 points of extra credit! Sounds easy enough. I HATE Leonardo DiCaprio with a passion, but it's supposed to be a good movie, and hell, 50 points is 50 points! So, I'm going to see it with Nate on saturday. A whole gorup of the animators were gonna go on Friday, but they recruited Ross to go with them, and neither Nate nor I wanted to go if Ross was going. So, as far as everyone else is concerned, we're jst not going.
Tuesday was a bore, as always. Actually, I take that back. Was a tad stressful. I was having a horrble time getting motivated. Then, Kelsey calls me in the middle of my break. No hello, how are you, how are you doing, just calling to tell me she got accepted to that other college in Florida. Then, she had to go back to her work. She told me to call her after this weekend, when she's out of Finals Hell. Psh. She has no IDEA what Finals Hell is.
Later, I got a call from mom, and she basically bitched at me for not organizing my life HER way, and for not keeping my room clean, or helping around the house. I wanted to scream and break things. So then, 6:00 rolls around, I go to animation class, and we have to do something called the "Dialogue Hat." It's for an up-coming assignment. we had to draw a line of dialogue ot of that hat, and now we have to animate a face to said dialogue. I got "I don't feel so good." How blah and boring is that? Some of the ones people were pulling were jsut HILARIOUS though! I mean, they were perfectly innocent lines, but in a room full of college students... stuff like...
"That's not gonna fit"
"Be gentle, I'm still a little sore"
"Stop it, you're making me sick!"
"Hold on, I'm almost finished."
I was laughing so hard, my stomach muscles were sore the next day. XD
Speaking of the next day... Wednesday. Yesterday. I feel like I got alot more accomplished yesterday than I probably did. Oh well. Had art class. Our model was new at modeling, so she took a few minutes gettign into good poses. She was a very discreet poser (no sticking of private arts TOWARDS people), which was very nice. However, she had one of those bodies that makes women fume in jealousy. Seriously, I wish I could have a body like hers, nice and lean. But no, I'm a little box. Thank you, gene pool.
Talked to Nate quite a bit yesterday over AIM. I lent him the Utena movie, and he finished watching it tuesday night. his roomies joined him when he started making weird confused noises and going "what the fuck?" ^ ^; I can't say I Didn't wanr him, but I don't think any amountof warngn would have prepared him for that. I think perhaps his roomie James thinks I'm psycho now. Ross joked about maybe I have issues with my sexuality, since I wanna go as Utena to the anime con. Which reminds me, I think I may have convinced Nate to come with my growing little group. WAI!
But, it's thursday morning, and I still have to exercise a little bit, get dressed, and do some sketchbook work before I head to school for the day. Joy of all joys. ::gags:: gotta sit through sound class tonight. I'm not complaining though. I'll probably just draw. Damnit, I'm so behind in ANI 150, it's not even funny. I'm probably gonna hafta postpone my movie day with Alex and Andrew, since I've got lots to do, and I'm already going to see TTT with my parents and Gangs of New York with Nate. @.@
I can't beleive the weekend's almost here again...

Holy shit am I tired.
The field trip on Friday was boring as hell. The sad excuse for a natural history museum was three rooms, at most, and we sat around drawing skelatal gestures of SKELATINS. Oh yes. -.- oh well. 15 pages down for the week, so I'm not complaining. The ride there was entertianing though, as I was wedged between Nate and Karen in the back seat of a little Honda. I...THINK it was a honda. Anyway, can't remmeber what was so entertaining about it, but I had a good time. except for when KAren decided to speak, because for some odd reason, everything that comes out of MY mouth is subject to her bitter critisism. The first thing she says to me when I get in the car and am looking for my seat belt is "You're too damn chipper." ::Blinks:: The more I talk to her, the more I think Karen is just a bitter bitch. She's not nearly as mean to anyone else. But somehow, everything I say and do is subject to her ridicule or citisism. I don't even care what she thinks anymore.
Ross has stopped bugging me. I think he finally got the hint, after I blocked him on AIM, and refused to talk to him. Is very nice to be Ross-free. I hate to hurt anyone's feelings...but I tried being nice, and nice didn't WORK.
Saturday, I got skelatal keyframes for my "throw" animation done. I should have more, but I don't feel so bad, as most people don't have any more than that either. I would have gotten a lot accomplished on saturday...but then I started looking up my strology stuff, and mom got into it too, and we looked up ALL of our signs. I can say that all of the stuff hit the nail on the head PERFECTLY. It was scary. certainly explains alot about me though. All I remember is that I'm a Scorpio, with a Moon sign in Leo, a Rising sign of Aquarius, and a soul-mate sign of Scorpio.
So, saturday, I got nothing done.
And then today, yesterday, whatever you wanna call it, was equally as un-productive. I did, however, finish my Cinematography assignment. I went for a walk with my family. we took the dogs. about 10 minutes into the hour-long walk, I Took Fluff, because Fluff is SO my dog, and I just didn't feel right letting dad walk her. She also seemed to obey me more than she obeyed dad. ^ ^ I love Fluff. I talked to Liz breifly today, amoung my troublesomse internet connection.
I think I've seen the Utena movie far too many times in te past 48 hours. My brain is mush. Toki ni Aiwa is stuck in my head... and the movie, in all it's strangess, is starting to make sense with a logical progression in my head. @.@
But I am beat...and I need sleep.

Woke up at 4:00AM with an insane churning in my stomach and the feeling that I was gonna puke. Got myself back to sleep by focusing on regulating and slowling my breathing. Did not know WHY I felt that way, nor did I really stop to think about it, as I was only half coherent. Awoke at 8:00 when my alarm went off to discover I Felt normal again, but the communists were invading. -.- Oh well, better that than the flu, but still, I felt NASTY last night.
On a completley different mind-track entirely, I think I would like to learn how to fence. Eve-chama asked if Utena was getting to me. ^ ^ ;; I guess it is a bit.. but really, I've always thought fencing was pretty, and I'm really gung-ho into old fantasy right now... and Fencing is a legitimate sport, and probably the closest wussy little me could ever get to sword fighting. Not that fencing is wussy, but It's mostly steps and stances and movements like that, and with 13 years of dance training under my belt, plus two years of tennis under a personal trainer, I think I could be decent. I dunno, it's probably a phase that will pass, but I'll mention it to my mom, either way.
Got very bored at around 4:30 yesterday afternoon, and called Hibari on my cell phone. I like talking to her on the phone. When we first started talking over the phone, she seemed sorta...I dunno, almost uncomfortable, like she didn't know what to say. she's getting over that though... I think because it's really set in that I'm the same damn person she's been talking to over the internet for five years. Now, we just launch into conversation, and it's great! I need to just invest in a phone card, and stop using my cell phone minutes. Cell phone reception ain't exactly the most ideal for conversation either. Especially long-distance.
Sound class last night was a total bore. I've had too much training in just listening to and feeling the music, that I just can't seem to pick apart all the notes and crescendos, and all that other fun STUFF that Lawrence is teaching us about. I spent my time playing around with Skelatal gestures, and drawing anime pictures. I drew a pretty picture of Nekkid Hoshi, with her arms wrapped around herself. She looks all timid and vulnerable, and just so very Hoshi-like.
I went to work on my cinematography assingment last night. I decided to do it on the Utena movie, so I started watching it, to time where it was in the movie when I hit the 10-minute mark... and I found it...but then I just kep watching. Now, I find myself humming "toki ni aiwa" over and over again... ::smashes her head on her desk:: I got nothing done, and that movie is SO on crack, especially late at night. God damnit, it HYPNOTISES!
I'm going on a field trip today. Yay! Going to a natural history museum with my art class, and we're going to draw bones and fossils, and wonderful stuff like that. I should eat before I have to leave... Think I'll tie up the entry now, and finish it later tonight, after my day has actually happened. ^^;;;

Shit... Hokay, what've I been up to since last week....
First, on the sunnier side of life, I had a FANTASTIC past weekend! I met Liz at the mall after my saturday class (in which I got NOTHING accomplished), and then we drove to Subway for lunch. From there, we went to the nearest fabric store, and WHAT LUCK! We happened on a HUGE sale! all the patterns were 99 cents instead of the normal $6 - $8. Also, all the fabric was on sale, except for the really fancy stuff. ^ ^ I got the fabric for my Utena Jacket, The fabric for my Hobbit bodice, and the fabric for the overskirt of my hobbit costume, pluss thread for both AND golden buttons for the Utena jacket... all for $51! LUCKY! Liz got a TON of patterns herself. Very lucky we were.
On the way back to my house, I had to stop and get gas. Then, once we got there, we looked at some anime music videos, listened to the MP3's on my computer, and then a couple hours later decided to head back out to seach for accessories. unfortunately, the store was closed. ;_; Stupid Saturday hours. So, came home, made pizza, and then had fun watching Hobbit angst, and being general fangirls. We stayed up until around 2:30 or 3:00 in the morning, just talking, and for a while, letting my utena movie DVD run in the background. I STILL have Toki ni Aiwa stuck in my head.
I wub Liz. She's so nice to me. She told me that just being with me, she feels like we could become close. I agree, and I hope we do... I already sort of feel like we are. She told me that she feels like she lost a best friend/lover, and gained a sister. ^_^ I feel special. Turns out she had fun too... and accidentally forget her patterns in my car. ^^; Oops.
School has been...hairy. I mean, I didn't do anything over the weekend, when I was hanging out with Liz... But from what I heard, neither did anyone else. I sat down and scheduled everything out, so I don't fall farther behind. I found out I was one of few people who actually did the anatomy homework, to be ready for yesterday's test. I got an A on it too. EXCELLENT! ^___^ Also, had a Male model, and ya know what? It was no big deal. It didn't even phase me. ^_^
Last night, I didn't stick to my schedule. But 'tis okay, because I got my 50 pages, and I hadn't planned on having them done until this evening! I'm still 20 pages behind, but atleast I got this week's 50. I hope to stick more closely to my schedule today. I'm writing this when I would normally have been doing last-minute sketchbook work. However, I did have a nice bit of fun in SMI. I really DO need RPing to keep my sanity. Don't know why exactly. Maybe because I sorta grew up with this group, or maybe just because my various characters allow me various outlets for strange and obscure emotions, so I don't have to be angsty. ::shrugs:: I really don't care why, I just know it works, and it's fun.
I've been reading Hobbit-Angst lately. ^ ^; Horrible little fangirl that I am. I also have been musing on stuff for the Tamers Fic Ram nd I are writing. Oh, we also decided on a numbering scheme for the tamers-verse. We'd refer to the actual series as 1.0 and the fic as 2.0 , like software stuff. Ya know, since Digimon was from a computer video game in the tamers-verse.
But, I must flee to school now. I part with a quiz...
 You are blue. You are somewhat innocent, in the fact that your genius only extends to the physical world. You have a false sense of contentness. You are usually the quiet one, the genius.
Everyone can count on you to help when they have problems, but you only fall short of being able to solve your own. What inner color are you?
I love Miki and Kozue... ^ ^

Woo-oo-oo-oow. It's only the second week of school, and I'm already skating on the edge of a deadline. I have the unfortunate (or perhaps fortunate) luck of waking up SICK this morning... so I'm skipping projects, and staying home to work. I'll go in at 5:00 ish, to drop of my sketchbook for the 5:00 deadline. Then, I'll go to my Sound class, and probably study my notes for the anatomy test tomorrow.
Speaking of Anatomy... Had a nude model in class yesterday. Was a female, thank god. However, we didn't even DRAW HER FULL BODY! the first hour of class was spent MIMICING her poses, so we could FEEL the positions. The second hour was spent with some mimicing, and Abbott teaching us how to do a skelatal gesture drawing. Then, for the third hour, we set to drawing. Well, if you could consider drawing the C-curves and S-curves of the model's line-of-action, and ONLY the line of action, DRAWING. -.- Looking at a nude person wasn't as bad as I thoguht it would be. However, I could tell the model was running out of poses, because at one point, she did a back-bend of sorts, and had her...HIPS (for lack of better word) pointed right at me. -.-;; rather unpleasant.
I have decided that I could never be room mates with Kelsey. My parents were out of town on Tuesday night, so I had Kelsey come over and stay the night with me. I had work to do, and she basically jsut wandered around like she owned the house, doing whatever she wanted. Not that I minded her doing those things.... I didn't have class until 1:00 in the afternoon, but she had to be at school by 7:50 AM. So, she was up at 6:15, Woke me up again at 7:15 to come down and lock the front door... and it was sitll completely dark out. She had turned on every friggin light in the house, and had blasted the music so loud, I'm surprised I slept through it.
She came over again last night, to use my scanner for a school project. ::Sigh:: and her and I are such opposites... I am goign to miss her when she leaves for college, but really, I don't know how we stay friends.
Looking forward to spending saturday with Liz. Metting her at the mall, then we're going back to my place, dropping her oevrnight stuff, and then heading out to th local fabric stores and costume shops. ^_^ I actually find it rather interesting that we didn't realy start to be able to become friends until I had distanced myself from Court. Even more so, when they broke up, and that obstacle was no long there to cause tension between us. I really LIKED Liz from the beginning, but with the situation between me and court and her and court, neither of us was exactly wanting to let our guards down. But, I'm glad that's all over with. I always thought Liz and I were the NORMAL ones of the group. I mean, we're pretty weird still, but we're better balanced than the rest of the Anime Club group. Liz really seems to know what she's doing with costumes, so hopefully she can help me. ^ ^ ::laughs:: she showed me these the other day, as a potential accesory to my Hobbit Girl costume. ::giggles::
This bug has got me whipped. but I will defeat it! O-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho!
^_^ Yes. Now back to work.

Well, is not Elijah Wood, but Nancy-Elf still damn hot. *_*

Wow. No wonder I'm so addicted to movies and anime, and all that moving-story media. @.@ I was basically told today that it's all a bunch of tricks and half the time you're halucinating because of the way film and a little thing called "Persistance of vision" works.
I learned today something that I'd never really made a connection with. Okay... Close Ups. Just a shot of the actor's face. Think about it: which peope do you EVER get that close to in real life? someone you're INCREDIBLY close to. Your parents, VERY close friends, or Lovers. When you get those close ups, it's some sort of psycological thing to make you feel an attachment to the character. It kinda makes sense...
I'll never be able to watch a movie in the same way again.
Except Lord of the Rings. They can do close ups on Elijah Wood ANYTIME. ^ ^
I have a bit over 500 dollars in my checking account. With that, I should be able to make a very nice Utena Costume for Sakura Con...and possibly a nice enough Hobbit costume for Ring Con. ... I just hope I'll also have enough for the duelist Ring I wanna have made. I promised Hibari my clay one if I don't need it.
Too much work to do. Ross being annoying as hell. Want to tell him to go away, but the part of me that Hoshi comes from is whimpering baout being mean.
God damn it.
juri-chan's puppet talked at 09:38 p.m. -- Monday, January 13, 2003
Holy shit, where did the week go?
I can't beleive I haven't posted sicne tuesday. No wonder I feel in need of a brain dump. Okay let's see what was the last thing I wrote... ::checks her blog:: Oh, here we go.
Okay, so Wednesday was okay. Not much in art, except discussion of what the class was gonna consist of. We have our first nude model on Wednesday the 15th. ::squick:: I hope it's female... I'd hate my first model tobe a guy.
Thursday not so bad. Work period in Projects, and the first Sound Design class. Sound design gonna be VERY easy. Seems like it'll be homework light too. YES! Did little else except revise the design for te character in my personal project. Melvin game me a new idea for the ending, and I think I like it. I hope to have an AVI version of my project to put up on my website when it's done. Oh! dave got me the Nehelenia Sailor Stars tapes. I watched them over the course of thrusday and friday...
Friday was... CG and Art. I had to get up early for the first time this week. I felt like a cold zombie, and wanted to crawl back into bed. Ended up putting my hair in a ponytail, pulling on my sweatshirt and jeans, and saying "screw it" to make up (even concealer). finished the nehelenia mini-series, and got the first 2 episodes with the starlights.
Saturday, I went to my animation class. That was okay. Monte's cool. He talked about the "throw" project with us. However, the animation hole punch is BROKEN, so we all have to buy animation bars for three-hole-punch machines. Just ordered my peg bar tongight. Never did use the one I boguht for the NORMAL animation hole punch. What a waste.
I had fully intended on going home RIGHT after animation class on saturday, but then I emt up with Dave to swap for more Sailor Stars fansubs. Got caught up in a long conversation of varying subjects, amoung them SMI, Lord of the Rings, Sailor Moon, and extensions there of. @.@ Next thing I knew it was 4:00 in the afternoon. I headed home, cleaned my room, watched some Sailor Moon.
Because I can't remember EXACTLY when everyhting happened, here's what else I've been up to:
Ross has been driving me freaking NUTS. I have hit the boy over the head with verbal 2x4's on a regular basis about WHY people odn't seem to like him, the fact that because I'm an artist, I actually HAVE homework, and that I DO NOT HAVE ANY INTEREST IN HIM. ::Sigh:: have also been talkign to Nate about it all, seeing as Nate is a friend, and also Ross's roomie. Nate agrees with me on all accounts.
Sometime in this mess of days, I talked to Smiko about Lord of the Rings. We talking about how much Hobbits rule, and how we'd rather be fun-loving happy hobbits in the shire than out saving middle earth. Am even MORE encouraged now to go as a Hobbit to LOTR Convention. Liz says she wants to do my hair, and help me get all dressed and stuff. Which brings me to the next subject.
I was supposed to go out costume shopping and stuff with Liz this weekend, but she remembered she was going to a Sci Fi convention with Joe. So, instead, we're doing it next weekend. We have our plans all figure out, now I just need to organize when I'm doing which homework assignments this week, so that I can afford the day off. Also, need to check all my syllabus's and see what weeks The conventions fall on. I may not be able to attend anyway... ;_; that would suck, so 'm keeping my fingers crossed. I'm lucky, the LOTR convention is at the end of february...I should still be faily on my LOTR high. Especially if I go see TTT again before the convention. ^__^
I must make note of how KICK ASS Seiya is, compared to Mamoru. Usagi should have totally Hooked up with Seiya, for Seiya FAR more interesting than boring Mamoru, who wouldhands down win Most-dull-and-boring-male-lead-of-the-year every year from 1992 up through the present. I ahve frightened people with the question of "can you imagine Seiya and USagi's spawn?"
I have a feeling SOME die-hard SailorMoon freak is gonna kill me. But 'm sorry, Mamoru so BORING.
January 11 was her birthday. ^_^ Tanjoubi omedeto! I need to make her a pic for the occasion. Most likely a Jenkato. Which reminds me that I still need to finish coloring her birthday picture of Non-Hyper!Mimi.
Went shopping with Alex and Andrew today. Grocery shopping that is. they're fun to shop with, I'm not sure why. Then, we went to KFC for lunch on the way back to their apartment. That was fun. I ended up hanging around for a couple of hours, and playing around with the Character-making functions of PSO (Phantasy Star Online). then SEAN came back from his Nero event this weekend, and I suddenly felt unwelcomed by him. Perfect reason to am-scray.
God damnit, I didn't get anything done TONIGHT either. SHIT. Okay, Tomorrow, I SWEAR, I will do Storyboard AND start on the timing flick. Eeep. Three days to have a timing flick. shit. good thing it's nothing super complicated... but damnit, Tuesday is busy.... GOD DAMNIT! Nights! pulling nights! YAY for afternoon classes!
Sleep now. Sleep good. ::thud::

Second day back at school. Also, the longest day of the week. Three classes. @_@ Not so bad TODAY though. It was basically an overveiw of what the classes were gonna be. Basically, extensions of the classes that came before them. No big deal.
I ahve to say it was nice seeing my old lunch buddies again. Too bad one of them is a second-year artist, and one is a 4th-year programmer. ::Sigh:: there's always e-mail. But we're not really friends, so much as acquiantances. David, the second year artist, made copies of his fan-subbed Sailor Moon episodes! All of Sailor Moon Stars. *_* Wow.... I NEED to watch...but...don't...have...time...::thud:: Well, atleast after beginning the series at the age of 8, I'll FINALLY get to see the end nine years laters. We also talked about Lord of the Rings. Scary enough, David can do Smeigol/Gollum's voice. O.O
Talked to Sean and Brent a little bit today. I want to go to Ring Con, but I don't have a costume. I said I was either gonna go as a Mirkwood elf, or a Hobbit. Sean asked if I went as a hobbit, if I would make my feet hairy. ^ ^; I said I might, but I'm not keen on the idea of goign barefoot. I guess I'll jsut have to find the time to make one. Perhaps I'll look for something while I'm working on the Utena costume.
Speaking of the Utena costume... Mom was talking about rings and I was talking about how much I'd like to have a rign like the duelist rings in Utena. Mom said I could have one. O.o she has a personal jeweler who, if I take drawings to, could make the ring for me. Mother of Pearl inlay over a silver ring, to get the white band, and carved rose quartz for the pink rose crest, antiqueing for the black rimming on the rose crest. O.O And mom says I can talk to her jeweler about having it made! O.O I'm just...WOW, that would be SUCH a cool ring.
Tomorrow, I only have one class. My Art class, and that isn't until 1:00 in the afternoon. I think I'm going to LIKE getting to sleep! I have a feelign that if ever I need extra hours, it'll be about getting up EARLY to do it, rather than staying up to all hours of the morning.
But, I need to comb out my hair, and wash my face. Then I'm going to bed.
Mom asked me tonight why I dont' like any of the boys at my school. I told her I'm just NOT attracted to any of THEM. She said "maybe you ARE gay." I jsut glared at her and sai d"it's not my fault that Court was femmy and skinny as a rail, and that sean had long hair and dazzling eyes behind john lenon glasses!"
oh well.

To everyone who reads this, a very belated Happy New Year. This is goign to be a very long post, but hopefully, it won't be too painful. Seeing as it's the begining of a new year, I feel the need to reflect back on the one that's just passed.
For me, 2002 was a year of mini adventures, and big changes. The first of which being MArch 11, 2002, when I signed up for my blog account with Pitas.com. I'd had a live journal back in 2000, but I never used it. I'd seen that she had a blog, and so did some other fan-ficion writers that I liked... and mom had always encouraged me to keep a diary. Now that I think about it, my posts were sporadic and pointless at first. Eventually, I came to rely on blog-chan for brain-dumps to help me keep my sanity. I also wrote my blog address in the yearbooks of my friends, so that they could keep in touch and also hear about what was going on my life.
April: Excitement! And disappointments. I was all reved up for sakuracon, and then came my falling out with Court. Sadness indeed. I applied to DIT at the end of this month.
May: May 3rd, I got my my acceptance letter to college! Woo! I was SO EXCITED, I was boucning off the walls. Mostly, this month was full of homework, and finals. Everyone ELSE in my class went to Prom... I went on a nice little formal outing with Kelsey and Rebecca.
June: Recital, finals, and Graduation! amoung all of it, I tried to call court, and got no repsonse... I graduated on June 18th, and I was miserable later that night. I had a horrible cold and wound up with Laragnitis. XD I left a few days after Graduation for the East Coast. I saw thre shows on Broadway (The Producers, The Lion King and Into the Woods) and I Met hibari face-to-face. That is a trip I'm going to remember for the rest of my life.
July: Sketchbook. @.@ Stupid Abbott and his summer sketchbook assignment. I did however Try to Call court again...never got answer. Found out from Liz that he had moved to Oregon. ;_; Found out he'd acquired a Live Journal and got a hold of him that way...
August: More of Abbott's damn summer sketchbook assignment.
September: School started! Met Josh... who creepd me out with his nasty lack of hygene and raging hormones/sexual suggestions. Alanis Morissette concert! Boy, did that KICK ASS! I WUB Alanis. I took Kelsey and Brent. That was fun, though I know they didn't get along. Later this month, I also hooked up with Sean, despite the protests at the back of my brain to STAY AWAY from him... Communicated with Court via a few e-mails. Mended some severed threads, and re-setablished our positions with one another. Liz and Court broke up. O.O
October: I went with Sean through this month... And got my first kiss I think on the 11th, because this number stands out in my mind. And after he kissed me, the asshole dumped me. User. I need to make that voodoo doll. Got a call from Court one day out of the blue! O.O we talked for over two hours.... god how I missed him. Cut my hair to my shoulders, the shortest I've evercut it, sometime after sean dumped me and sometime shortly before Halloween... Halloween, I went as a Hippie, and quite a good one at that. Went to a Hanted House with some of my classmates, and vowed never to Ride with ginger ever again. Sean hit on my shamelessly, and gave me a wet-willy on a dare from Brent. >.< Imature asses. I felt violated.
November: My birthday on the 5th! Had a get-together onthe 2nd, but began to feel excluded. Alex was nice to me though. WUB Alex, but only as a friend/big brother type. Started talking to Court on a regular basis. Went to HAwaii, with Finals for school growing closer. Began to feel the crunch. O.O Called Court on Thanksgiving, and had a nice long talk with him on my cellphone while sitting out at the beach at night.
December: FINALS! Much panic! Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers premeiered! Was SO Excited! Court came up for the premier. Got to spend a day with him. Dear god, how I missed him. Christmas was awesome, but Mom was in a horrid space then... gifts good, atmosphere bad. Court called to wish me Merry Christmas, but I'm afraid I was not in the mindset to be cheerful as I might have been.
That's the year in a nutshell. ::thud::

My new Years Resolution: To be more organized, and more efficient in my work.
 I did two oekaki's the other day. One of Anthy from "Shojou Kakumei Utena" which I Rather like... It doesn't hold a candle to the actual art of Utena, but I liked the coloring job. There was originally goign to be a glowing ball over her chest, like just before the sword appears, but I couldn't get the glow to look right... so this is a bustof Anthy, before (highlight for spoilers)getting skewered by a bazillion swords from various directions. Yay for the penalties of being the Rose Bride. Ouch, that would have to HURT LIKE HELL. I rather like having a WACOM tablet at home. This was the first competely Oekaki I did with it. Now I can do this addictive little hobby on sundays when I don't have school, instead of spending the hours between classes doing it. ^^;; I think I wasted a LOT of time getting acquianted with the WACOM tablet and Picture BBS when I was at school. ^^;;; But, yes, I Rather like the slight bit of drama this picture has. Hibari said her head was a little big, and I think she was right....but oh well, what're ya gonna do.
 The other one that I did was of Natori and DemiDevimon, the pose and composition blatantly ripped from the cover of Sora's 02 CD single. But oh well. I rather liked how it turned out...though I was half asleep, and now it's not so clean as I'd thought... but atleast I'm getting better. I really should talk to ram about finishing up that scene we'd been in the middle of for that fic... hell, I should finish WRITING chapter 1.
Mom's been in a good mood recently. It's nice. ^ ^ I milled through the last days of my break. I'm still on a Lord of the Rings high, along with a bit of Utena, and NOW in the mix is His and Her Circumstances. I got the first volume of that anime the other day, along with Alanis Morissette's "Jagged Little Pill." I abslutely LOVE HAHC for it's composition and cinematography. It's so FUN! I'm also tempted to do a AMV of it to this Alanis Morissette song.
The day I bought these things, my parents had their embaressment switches turned on. They've NEVER been that bad. I wanted to just melt into the floor. ::sigh::
I talked to Alicia recently. We gushed over Lord of the Rings. We both think Legolas SO hot... but I think Elijah Wood hot too. Those eyes SO Gorgeous. So, she's taking Orlando, and I get Elijah... and she can keep Viggo-as-Aragorn.
School started back today. Wasn't too bad, since all I had was cinematography, and it was the first day. I dread the workload to come. But that's why I have to just crack down on the work as it comes.
Veneta got AIM! Yay! Maybe I'll actually get to keep in contact with her for a change! ^_^ Speaking of AIM, I'm thinking of Changing my AIM name to be something with "Sumi" in it.
But it's growing late, and I have a 10:00 AM class tomorrow. Joy of all joys. -.-
