One...more...day...of...AC11...in...second...place...
I've never been higher than third in an art contest before, so I'm really excited. I MIGHT ACTUALLY WIN THIS ONE!
*twitches*
I think I'm gonna die of stress.

I woke up today.
And there was no Smeag to greet me.
We had a wonderful time this weekend. One would wonder why, since I was sick most of the time he was here, plus we had some unexpected and scary things happen over Saturday and Sunday, but we got to spend some wonderful times together (he took me on a date! <3), and we are now both safely at our respective homes, all in one piece. Give him hugs, he's an awesome trooper.
Oh, and belting Queen in the car for 30 minutes straight
Because I'm not going to have time to say it tomorrow: Happy (almost) Father's Day to all your dads. Go get him some brand new Metric wrenches, cause he always seems to need those!

Oh, and... uh...
I've changed my avatar temporarily.

It portrays my family's life on Sundays. It also portrays our life tomorrow (thus the reason why will not be here).
Ah, the craziness of a PK's week. Gotta love it.

Ok, so I like having long fingernails (4mm/almost a half a centimeter long, wooo new record - yes, they're natural) as much as the next girl, but...
My fingers can't feel the keys as I type.
It's like wearing prosthetic fingers or something. o___<
But they're so pretty~
Hmm.
...
Smeag says they are like lady-claws. I think he is just scared of my built-in weapons of awesomeness.

You diss my Smeagol, you get yo legs ripped off. >:[

Seriously guys, what is up with all the BBCC hate? It's just a contest, there will be others - if you're not liking the theme, then wait for another contest (you'll have another one, what, at the end of the summer or something?).
If you don't want to wait for another contest, then do a teeny bit of research and build something, for gosh sake. Artists have gotta do it for art contests when the theme isn
K, I have a variety show to perform with my theatre class tomorrow.
Just got news that one of our best actors (and one who has prominent parts in three of the plays) has come down with mono and may not be there.
@_@
No. Nonono, NOT a good thing the day before performance, people. We swore we wouldn't get sick, remembeeer?

What to dooooooooo?! D=

Oh, and Achievement testing on Thursday-Friday and SAT on Saturday. Hoorah I get
At 2:36 this afternoon, I finished my last 12th-level Math booklet for school. Which means I'm done with highschool math. FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.
*parties*
Now I can look forward to (loathe) college math.

I went to the park today.
I played baseball with my brother. Except without the bat. So it was more a game of catch.
...
I haven't played baseball in a loooong time.
...
I miss playing baseball. ;;
...
I also found out that my brother has a terrific throwing arm. Nice, fast, and long.
Like an outfielder throw.
They are fun throws to catch.
They are not fun throws to get hit in the knees with.
Yowch.

I just got a note from my grandmother. She needs all my school art from last year. (Long story.)
Which brings up a problem: I'm missing a lot of it. (Longer story)
So, for the rest of the summer, I will be re-doing a bunch of assorted art projects, ranging from pencil and brush-and-ink, to chalk and calligraphy.
Yay for art!

My church's VBS is also starting up in a few days, and as an official decorater, not to mention prop and costume coordinator for the Drama team, I kinda h
This is what happens when Niki doesn't sleep well for four days straight:
She apparently sleep-types.
This is the last page of notes for my first class today. These were all correct, English words in my head when I read them in class.... until I took a short nap and re-read over them (or at least, read over what I could - there's only two correct sentences in that whole mess, apparently. X_x)
Guess what kind of homework these utterly failed notes are from, and you get a cookie. I ca
Hey guys. A quick entry tonight.
I've been having lots of trouble with my legs for the last few days, to the point where I can't even walk properly at times. This is not okay because we are smack dab in the middle of a theatre production (which is the reason I've been dead to the world for a while, sorry to those members that are waiting for things from me. To everyone else: No, the hyenas didn't eat me, and neither did Santa Clause.)
So yeah, please keep that in your thoughts and prayer
Sep. 7, 2004 - Mar. 20, 2008
Just noticed today that my insanely-old art gallery from 2004 finally kicked the bucket a few days ago.
Le sigh.
It was meant to happen eventually, I suppose. I mean, it wasn't the most happening place out there - mainly because of my constant *cough*forgettingtoupdate*cough*.
Now it shall roam forever as one of them zombie topics in the depths of the Art forum.
(Don't any of you go reviving it, now, for it is against the rules and I shall have to hit
Best. Games. Ever.
HerInteractive has made a total of 17 of these Nancy Drew games so far, and let me tell you, all of these games are AMAZINGLY fun and so much better than the movie that came out this last year. Buildings set on fire, stuff gets stolen, you get knocked out with pepper spray, an ancient French medallion, a Cajun smoke bomb, and a Canadian ice ball, not to mention all the stuff that can happen when things go wrong, like getting eaten by a crocodile, getting suffocated in an Az
ZOMG I GOT A PICTURE WITH A PENGUIN!!! 8D
>><<
I love our zoo now. And what rocks is that they're making a polar exhibit (finishing up by next summer), and then we'll have more penguins.
Yay!

Two new theology books complete with 6 new assignments on top of the two original = ugh
5-page critique = ugh
SCIENCE EXAM = UGH Dx
Stage running from 6-10 pm = yay : D
Not having time to study because of that = whyyyyyyy
The fact that all of the above are due/happening on Monday = annoying
Not being able to see my family due to theatre times =
Running out of Sour Patch Kids = :(
No cat = LONELY ;_;
Getting overwhelmed with homework within two hours = hahahahahaha
Knowing that this
And so are the blisters that come along with the burns.
Yup.
And oh hey, yeah, uh....
Here I am! Back a day early by request of a family member.
*waves*
Just got done with a rather difficult piece for the state fair, and I'm done with all the stuff I needed to get done save some minor stuff for college prep
And, of course, work. On top of both counter positions, both drive-thru positions, prep, and stocking, I'm now being trained on table (bringing the list of things I don'
Hey, whaddayaknow, I finally finished Vezon & Fenrakk.
Vezon: It's time to practice good oral hygiene! *pulls out giant toothbrush and starts brushing Fenrakk's teeth* Isn't that right, my pet?
Fenrakk: <Prrrr>
~*~
Speaking of oral whatchwatsits:
I have to go to the pediatrician sometime next month. Why? Cause I have to go through all these tests, just to get a jaw surgery done (I have a Class 3 Underbite with some other thing I can't remember. Only two of my teeth actua
I started Iowa Basic Testing today.
Which only makes me loathe math more than I used to.
*rips hair out in frustration*
At least I got the whole section complete this year. Missing about 15 questions before the time limit really hurts the final scores... <<
What's nice is that I got all that computation stuff done today. What stinks is that I have even more stuff to do on Monday, not to mention... *shudder* SAT on Saturday morning. (Who in their right mind would wake up at 7 on
