waaahh I think I'm having like a midsummer crisis.
i can't focus on ANYTHING for more than like...5 minutes.
Maybe it's the impending bday. but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it!

anyways, fluhhh, slacking a bit artwise, still trying to wrangle up a job, painting my grandma's house in the downtime. toying with the idea of buying FF7: Advent Children, I have the weirdest urge to watch it, and dling 8239823 parts just doesn't seem worth it when I can pop it in the big screen, but ...rughh it's hard to fufill in SUCH IMPULSIVE FRIVOLITIES

umm yeah so. possibly going insane, not sure if I care, boy I could use some TEA or something right now.



( I need to get back into the swing of drawing everyday )

I finished the wall art I've been working on! it's under the cut if anyone's interested B)
still working on the costumes, that's next on my list.

the next few weeks are BUSY.
boston draws nearer, and I'm kinda sad i couldn't get a job and save some money up but...oh well, I'll still have fun ` u '


it'ssssss soooooooooo hooooooootttt heeerrreee.
in other news, avocado milk tea is fantastic, confirming my suspicions. next flavor: HIBISCUS.

also, in my personal opinion? if I was a ~**~*~professional~*~*~ designer? the last machine I'd want to work on is a macbook pro. this thing is so...hard to deal with sometimes.

( artttistticcc adventures )

wow not having a job during summer makes me feel like a total good for nothing B\
I'm not even really painting as much as I could be because I'm like sick or something.
WAKING UP EVERYDAY AT 8 FOR NO REASON ISN'T HELPING
; u ; for like a week my friend and me have been hanging out after she gets off work until 4 am and for whatever reason, I can't sleep past 8am. I NEED A LOT OF SLEEP.
I could just say no but...i get bored B\ and like...by that point, I've usually had a boring day filling out applications and trying advertise for commissions and doing boring little errands since it's wayyy too hot for adventures recently.
adventure time is usually around sunset and I'm running out of fun places to explore.
so midnight starbucks/beach walks are where it's at. (the increased chai tea intake is probably not helping the weird sleep problem)


BUT MONDAY I'M PAINTING MY GRANDMA'S PORCH. it's gonna be a silhouette of magnolia branches, in a color 2 shades darker than the wall. subtle but elegant, and totally desuriffic.

Boston in like a month I'M TOTALLY HITTING THAT CUPCAKE PLACE and chinatown and salem and ummgggg why don't I live thereeee
( one arttt )

LONG TIME NO SEE.
and the difference between the me of today and the me of the last entry?
THE ME OF TODAY IS FREE.
that's right, summer vacation! uhn!
moving was a hassle, but heyyy I'm not complaining.
...time to get a job.
I'm trying for either an ice cream place like coldstone/baskin robbins or starbucks, because there's many of those back at school, so a transfer would be more likely.
I mean, starbucks might be difficult because I hate coffee, but..but...I know my tea B\

NEXT TASK IS...
preparing for our trip to BOSTON~
If it's not obvious, I have a massive crush on boston. and...I whined so much that we're finally spending a WEEK there. Instead of landing, then driving to some ridiculously remote and rural corner of massachusetts. SO I WANT TO FULLY EXPLORE THIS TIME. anyone have any suggestions, btw? I'm already hitting like 9239394 bakeries and cafes because i'm secretly a foodie deep down.
BUT ALSO SHOPPING.

hmm it's so hard shoving all your dorm stuff into your room again.

( random thing finished before school ended )

well. school ends in about a week, and even though this is so uncharacteristic for me to say...
I'm gonna miss this place B\

THIS FEELING BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE FACT THAT:
I just had a ridiculously fun night out with like 20 people
I tasted gator (ok this really isn't a reason at all but it was fun)
I'm starting to like...know people and a few of my friends are leaving B\

ON THE OTHER HAND HELL YES SUMMER LET'S DOOOO THIISISSSSSSSSS

uh. that didn't last long. anyways. I BOUGHT FATAL FRAME 3! well, half of it. split with my friend! so excited.

gamestop-
we were looking for something else, but I always ask about this game because I'm holding out hope that I won't have to order it online
desu: heeyyy btw do you guys have fatal frame 3 by any chance?
guy: *looksitup* uhh no but...another location does at...
desu: crap he's going to say like, ORLANDO (4 hours away) I GIVE UP
guy: oh, the store right over there! (5 mins away) we can ask them to hold it!
desu: .....DSKADSDSADSJ:DJ:JFDSKFGDHLSKFD
friend: LET'S GO
desu: (here, I practically jumped over the desk at the other gamestop) HI WHERE
guy: ...r-right...here..

annddd got into a discussion about the FOURTH WHICH ISN'T COMING TO AMERICA

/crazyrant
This all started about a year ago when I picked up a copy of fatal frame 2 in a store (WEIRD CHANCE) ahhh...


...WHAT?! THEY FINALLY MOVED THE CONSTRUCTION WORKER TRAILER OFFICE THAT THEY PLACED RIGHT. OUTSIDE. MY WINDOW. I CAN LIKE...HAVE SUNLIGHT. VITAMIN D. ...I'm glad I can do this for the last week.

( CHEAP ART )

Usually I'm all crushing and digging on college and stuff but no one told me the last few weeks SUCK SO BAD.

9 million projects, exams, and assignments stuffed in the space formerly reserved for being a lazy dork!
AT LEAST THEY'RE MAKING IT WORTH MY TIME LET'S DO THIS

on the bright side, I got ANIMAL CROSSING WILD WORLD.
please please share your friends codes! (I realize this game came out..what, 4 years ago?)
If only to lend me some fruit. I'll show you my ~*~*~*~ prized possessions *~**~*~*

I've been craving barbeque lately. this is a hard craving to satisfy because
a) I don't really eat anything but chicken and fish
b) chicken on the bone is nasty.

no one here will make boneless bbq skinless non chicken shaped chicken things for me!

GOOD EYEBROW RAISE MOMENT

good for threats and being generally aggressive

I haven't found a serious use for this yet. hopefully it'll pop up soon. I'm using it for sorry!

USEFUL. IT'S CALLED GIRL TALK. but it has many applications.


so suddenly people are starting to hang in the abandoned place I found on campus for alone time. loovvee ittt.

jeex this week I'm lazy.


BUT NEW ACCOMPLISHMENT: ran 2 miles straight for the first time! UHN. yes. (this is a big deal for me because I am not a runner) SO YEUHHH
I'm trying to do that at least 4 times a week, maybe 3. I have no desire to get to 3 miles. not sure why.
i do however have a desire to eat about 9 bowls of special k, but that's not happening.
WHAT I REALLY WANT TO DO IS DRINK A CHEESECAKE....but that's not happening.

today, for a business project, my group and I ate at WENDY'S.
but the catch is, we put out a fancy tablecloth and fancy dishes/wineglasses etc etc and dressed in fancy clothes (ok need a new adjective)
We had to record peoples' reactions! hahahaha ohhh mannn even though it was kind of dead we got some funny material.

sorry this entry is all over the place.

( i've been doodling )

So, I've been having an eventful time of things!
Saturday was my grandpa's service, and the main thing that stands out to me is....

lots.

of.

food. nonstop. all day. really good food, but still, gad, A LOT OF FOOD

I cried a little, so that's good to finally have done. especially when the bagpipes for the firefighters started up. Bagpipes just MAKE YOU CRY.
then sunday was...MARSHMALLOW DAY. I had to make marshmallows for a presentation at school. weirdest...thing...ever
but delicious on graham crackers!
I got some pics of the service and my marshmallows.

IT'S SPRING BREAKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
awesome.
Yesterday I came to terms with the fact that icecream makes me feel disgusting for like 9 hours afterward B\
I love icecream. dang. Guess frozen yogurt will have to do!

AND I GOT AN 89 OF THAT RIDICULOUS 2 HOUR ART HISTORY TEST
ahahahkjsdhjfk so. happy.

mom and I wanted to see a movie so we saw Watchmen and...I know a lot of my flist are fans but...I wish we had skipped that. waaayyy too long, and too many unnecessary scenes and just...I dunno, I was not a fan of that movie at all. But I AM excited for Monsters vs Aliens!

in unrelated news, I want one of these http://www.geekologie.com/2009/01/mmmm_delicious_sleep_the_hambu.php
i also want a grande soy chai latte (YES I'LL HAVE THE MOCHA FRAPPACINO MOCHA CARAMEL MOCHA COFFEE LATTE WITH HALF COFFEE HALF COFFEE 2 SHOTS OF COFFEE AND EXTRA COFFEE WITH COFFEE SYRUP!!111)


( art things )

Grampy died at 9:30 this morning right when I woke up.
not sure what to do, mom's crying a lot, the cats seem content, i feel...ok

uhh hmm today's...seeming a little off.
my laptop is gonna die in 10 minutes, left my charger at home, so I've been calling some serious favors
(...."PHONERING" "h-hello" "I KNOW IT'S LIKE 10PM BUT CAN I BORROW YUR CHARGER?!?!?")

I ran out of food for breakfast besides this milk tea mix stuff so I made some and then...

THERE WERE ANTS IN MY CUP, only noticed this after a couple huge sips, contemplated to continue drinking it (no cafeteria till 11), gave up as my stomach was grossed out.


and then today. huge art history test. oh art history. I hate you really really bad. the addtional hate is caused by the crazy polish teacher.

I have art but I can't post it before this thing dies.

Thanks for all the replies to my last post! I really appreciate it. feeling somewhat better!
now I'll probably study since my laptops gonna die in....5 minutes!

---------------------------------

haha it died before I could finish! so I guess....I can post some art!

( this wayyy )

Today I found out that according to my IQ percentile, I'm technically a genius!
this helps me understand why I fail socially hahaha just kiddinggg
I just thought that was cool.

ANYWAYS.
I'm busy making vday cards and stuff. As much as I would like to make everyone a personal card, I'm just gonna make a set of 5. I feel bad but...I'm making cookies too, people will be ok!

I also ordered Tablo's book. I'm so exciteddd

Disney princess fever suddenly hit last night. I WANT TO BE ONE. I NEED A TIARA NOW

This entry feels aimless!

( one of the vday pics )

this video sums up the last week for me:



uhh so (me and my brother def. do that WESSSTTT thing to my mom whenever she asks us something. we are wonderful children)

my grampa got released from the hospital! I went to see him at home today and he seems better, but still sleeps most of the day, and has back pain and sees 83938493 doctors a day.
I just got back at the dorms a little while ago, and I'm DREADDDIINNGGGGGG

DREADDINNGG
waking up for class tomorrow. I just want to sleep DX

in other news, I badly need a job. I'm burning through the money from the last job like my art history teacher voice burns through my brain.

soo my mom interrupted my lovely bubble world of taking danny to the dog park, slacking off, drinking unhealthy drinks and ice cream simultaneously, being generally socially irresponsible etcetc with the news that Grampy's in the hospital.

...and I go back to school monday.
I feel like this is unfortunate timing.
buttt I guess I've had my fun BACK TO THE REAL WRRLD YEE

I've also not scanned/done anyyy art (of course I draw in my sketchbook) This has made me reluctant to update anywhere. but next week I'll be psing like a mafaka, i bet.

ALSO I HAVE BOTH STATS AND ACCOUNTING THIS SEMESTER
IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S GOING TO BE SO. MUCH. FUNNNNNN!!!!11
...secretly crying on the inside

so today's agenda:
+go to hospital which I'm increasingly suspicious of
+...um nothing else so far

HAPPPYYYY NEWWWW YEAAARRRR

I have a feeling nobody was a very big fan of 2008. BD It was...tolerable! Definately not the best year I've had though. Today to celebrate I'm...doing something I don't really want to. etf. that brings me to my first resolution.

1) STOP BEING SUCH A PANSY
it's important to try new things, but it's also important to know your limits. saying "no" can be just as hard as saying "yes", young desude. So stop trying to like hop on the stampede. THAT SAID...
2) STOP BEING SUCH A PANSY HERMIT
I'm also proud that your starting to do at least a little crazy stuff. because you were worrying me there with your tendency to be really boring.
3) ....LOSE 4 INCHES, CONTINUE BEING SOCIALLY ACCEPTABLE LOOKING
it's down from 5 last year BD keep up gym visits yay!
4) GET ALL A'S/DEVELOP YOUR ART
yesyesyeswantwantwant the A's. generally happy with the direction my art went in this year. I broke through some stylistic hurdles.
5) BE HAPPY, CONTENT, AND SATISFIED
give yourself a break. stop comparing yourself to everyone else. it's hard to have clear goals when you're also working towards everyone else's goals. no one is going to hate you if you don't know 3 languages fluently, cook a banquet, read 3 books a day and don't run a mile in 10 minutes. IT'S. O. K.

end of the year meme
JANUARY: I...I AM SO READY TO BE DONE WITH SCHOOL bahahahah ou well!
FEBRUARY: i tried to avoid this but ...B);; HIATUS!
MARCH: i'm sick! yay!
APRIL: ever have like...NOTHING to say?
MAY: ahhhhhhhhhhhhh
JUNE: eugh i'm so over that school
JULY: (ecard)
AUGUST: GAD. hopefully in home base for a while until I move.
SEPT: colllllleegggeeeee cannnn beee borrrinnggg if you're avoidinnggg hooommmeewoorkkk! wooaooaoaoa!
NOV: so I leave my dorm for a long weekend, and come back to both sides of the room covered in what I can only describe as small bits of crap (like...string and small pieces of general crud), and this
DEC: let me, for a moment, just bitch about my financial and college woes.

( art! )

I feel anxious and the need to do something creative!
time to work on xmas cards!
augh, I meant to mention, my cards are always a little late. I'm super sorry, but they're all gonna be made with love, ok?!
i caught a glimpse of myself in a mirror today, and realized I look like such a freaking psycho half the time, it's either this really


INTENSE



look on my face, or a really zoned out smile. why can't my face be normal >B\



psycho.


I've acquired 23 penpals, at a rate of like 3 new ones a day. WHY WON'T THEY STOP ARGHGHG

( doodles and something i haven't posted elsewhere yet )

let me, for a moment, just bitch about my financial and college woes.

a)...it rilly bothers me that my "good set" of silverware is PLASTIC. I have three two ceramic spoons that are for most eating, and i broke one and need to buy superglue.

b) I really need a job. like, scholarship-money-runs-out-by-junior-year job. or alternatively, to start applying for some ships!! armenian heritage scholarship GOOOO

c) I WANT TO DO LAUNDRY LIKE NORMALLYY AJHLKSLKRKLRJSDLKDFJdlF

d) i wish i could get off the mealplan and buy my own groceries. but that's a luxury right now. srsly though, food here is not exactly worth the $8 a meal. can't change until i'm in a diff living situation yayyy!


enough of that! i'm drinking milk tea and it's pretty good. i've been woefully unproductive, i have some crazy assignments i'm working through, as well as xmas cards!
