1) I appear to be insane, and evil.
2) I'm board
3) This month I started writing a novel
4) My room is a mess
5) I enjoy the challenge of taking on more work than I can really handle
6) I'm learning to speak German, I natively speak english, I took two years of spanish, and I began to teach myself Japanese last summer.
7) I enjoy philosophizing, and debating
8) I am not appropriate, politically correct, or socially correct, yet most people seem to love me anyways, and follow me around.
9) I am not nearly as active on any of my accounts on websites right now as I really wish I could be
10) I enjoy sleeping, yet I do not seem to be able to get much time for sleeping lately.















I am sorry for the lack of activity on all of my accounts across the internet. I am still reading my messages and replying to them, however I have been very inactive on so many places lately that it makes me sad, and a little hesitant to show back up. I'm posting this here, since so many of them redirect here, and so many people know me here, and on other places.

I am going to try to become more active, I really am attempting it. However lately I am working to find time to do my homework, and sleep, and still having to try and fit in swim practice, in class time, and now I am making myself fit in writing time. My goal is to also make time for drawing every day, and to be active on all of my accounts at least once a week. I'm not sure how long it will be till I succeed, with this, and I ask that you not give me too long of a rant when I do find a way to come back.

In case any one was interested, this is a link to an entry with what little of my story I am willing to share at this point. I am being a bit particular right now about what I am sharing. It just feels like if I share any more of it, I will loose my motivation for writing anything on this.



If you some how got to the bottom of this entry, go have awesome and read about my very interesting teacher, plenty of inappropriate and hilarious things, with more, and hopefully more thought provoking things to come. [link]

First, Please Excuse the Fav and Running.

It is better to fav and run, I think, than not to do anything. Right now, I am rather busy, and do not have time to leave nice comments on all of the pictures I want to. When I have a chance I will hopefully go back though and give some comments, however it is likely that I will forget. (you can remind me if you so desire)



I now know how busy I will be for at least most of the school year. My classes take up a lot of my time, between the classes and the homework. I will of course be trying to continue to update things on here, but there is no denying that I will be less active. I do check my messages every day or so, so I will still see whatever you all say to me, I just might not be posting things as much. (hopefully I can make up for that on the weekends though. )




Funny story, last night we had company over, which means there was a lot of cleaning to do, after I had a sort of parent orientation night for my AP European Studies class. By the time I got home, eaten my dinner with the guests, and been chased from the table to go do my homework, it was about 9:30pm (or 21:30) I go down to do my Pre Calculus homework, and study for my three Quizzes the next morning. within an hour and a half I could not hold my eyes open and lay down for half a second to refresh so I could keep working. Next thing I know I am curled up under my covers, I'm wide awake, and it's dark out side. My alarm did not go off, I did not study for 2/3rds of my tests, and did not do any of my homework. ( alarm did not go off because my alarm is my cell phone, and it had run out of batteries, then been put on the charger, which left it still off.) (I woke up at exactly 6:00, my alarm would have gone off at 5:57am.)


You see, the reason this is at all funny, is because I still managed to get all of my homework done (correctly and in), and get a good score on all of my tests.


...okay, perhaps it was not all that funny. But that is your insight into my life off of the internet for the day. Hope you enjoyed it.

Well guys, it is that time again. My school has started, and I am going to be having a ton of homework to do.

I am having a great time with my classes, however I know that once my teachers get warmed up, there will be no rest for me.

Just to give you an idea of my schedule for the next who-knows-how-long I'm posting below this what my genoral schedule, although not all with times, because I bet no one on here really cares any way.


My art will be slowing down for sure, although it may become more regular, because I will be using a lot of my prechious free time drawing and painting to help keep my brain from exploding.


On the note of art, I got a new moniter. From my trip down to Las Vegas for a confrence durring the summer, my mother (the one hosting the confrence) walked away from it with sevral new moniters. Two of them have been lying on the floor in the landry room for awhile now. I took it, and figured out how to hook it up to my laptop, so now I have a very nice, very large, very cheep moniter to draw on

Have a good time out there.

I am back from my trip now, and I have returned with plenty of photos. I got some very nice ones of the scenery, although I had to take them though a dirty window, so they are not the best quality. I also have up the photos of the cow being butchered.


My school will be starting next week. I have no clue right now how this will affect the time I spend on here, but I suppose you will all see soon enough.




Below is a brief summary of my trip. You do not have to read it. If you want to skip hearing about my trip, then this is the end of the journal.


I ended up leaving at about 4:00 p.m. On our way out of this side of the mountains I got a square of hard, apparently imported, irish cheese and a bottle of juice for my dinner. It should only take about 4 hours to get to the hotel we were aiming for. We ended up staying on one highway for about 20 miles too far, and nearly running out of gas. We then had to go back the 20 miles, and get on a different highway that would take us south (this was after we got to the other side of the mountains.) The hotel was hard to find in the little sown that we were staying it. At about midnight we finally got to our beds in the Best Western.

My mother got to sleep at one in the morning, I got to bed at two. 5:30 in the morning we had to get up to alarms. I had a couple of sausages, and some strawberry mush stuff I found for waffles that I could not eat. We were out with the dead cows by quarter to six. Four cows were shot while we were there. Robin cut up organs and I helped her put them in bags. We ran into one problem that I had not brought gloves (I hate gloves), but because we had no soap, my hands ended up covered in cow fat, so I was refusing to touch anything of mine, or anything I might touch once my hands were clean. We finished around 1 pm, covered in blood. The man who's cows were being killed let us come inside to clean up, and change into clothing that was not covered in blood. Afterwards he invited us to sit with him and drink some nice strong coffee while she showed us some of the manny loaded guns that he kept lying around his house. He told us about what he used them on, from everything to threatening neighbors, to shooting skunks, neighbor dogs, and odd critters that lived out in his field.

We got back to Seattle around 5:30, we got some goodies in a place called the Flying Apron Bakery, the things there all wheat free, dairy free, and vegan. I got this little thing made with corn meal and spinach and had a latte, which turned out to be coffee with steamed milk and no sweetener. This led me to discover I actually like coffee without sugar, but only if I have something some what sweet to eat with it. The flavors contrast nicely. Amazingly, the northbound traffic out of Seattle was going quickly and smoothly, and I managed to get to my singing / piano lesson on time (left Seattle at 6:00, got there five minutes to 7) so I showed up with no books for my lesson. Robin slept though it (she was tired) I got to have a singing lesson instead of a piano as I have had recently, and then worked with him on some different cords (I learned that my hands are too small to stretch a whole octave, and hit, say, to G keys and not hit the keys in the middle )

I finally got to the house around 8 or 9, Dog made me dinner (a leg of chicken and rice) and I fell asleep after finishing the Harry Potter book I was reading in the car.




If you just actually read though all of that, then you get a cookie.

I am leaving in about an hour for east of the mountains. So basically I will be on a 4 hour long car trip to a hotel in what is, to me, basically a desert. It is hot and dry there, it is always sunny, and I always stand out for having such pale white skin compared to the people who live there's very darkly tanned skin. Not that that is really a problem, it is just a little interesting.


There might be internet at the hotel tonight but after that I won't have any till Thursday night.

I am going over there to watch a cow being butchered. We go and have one Long Horn steer butchered each year, however my mother likes to go out and take some of the other random pieces to feed to the dog, such as the lungs. I am going with her because I do not like sitting around the house all the time, I will also probably be sharpening her knives for her.


I will be taking pictures, however I may or may not post them, if you have an opinion about that leave a comment saying it. If I do post it, it would be a zipped file of photos that people could download to use as references.



Back Soon!
