Hey all.
Just stopping in to say hi and that I'm doing better, if not still very tired and what-not. ^^ I believe I've somewhat recovered from the shock of two weeks ago, although it's still a bit hard to comprehend at times. I was able to slip onto BZP a few times last week, which was cool (thanks to those of you who PMed me and chatted when I was online). I'll be trying to get on more often by next month.
And heh, happy news is that I finally got enough extra money saved up to buy my ma
...
I want to rewind last weekend so I can go to Brickfest with Omi and Rayg... ;_;

And, yet again, I must explain for my absence.
Two words:
Parent Password
One of my siblings has been visiting a couple gaming sites secretly. Unfortunately, they're sites that have been dumping tons of viruses into our computer. So, my parents set up an internet password that only they know.
So, alas, I shall be on BZP even less than before... boo-hoo.
~*~
However, I AM planning t
Here I am, slaving in the salt mines at 2 in the morning, fingertips red and back aching, ready to throw something at the wall.
Why?
I'm working with my mother to finish costumes for the State Renaissance Festival, which is kinda like a Cosplay thing in how people dress up and stuff. This is the first year I've gone in costume, so it should be fun. We have three sets of full medieval garb to do, pretty much. Nice fabrics. Thick and toasty. X3
Well, the festival is tomorrow (Whoo! A day
...
Wait a sec.
...
I'm done?
Seriously?
It's all over. Kaput. All of it.
It's kinda mind-boggling.
And it's still really wild for me to imagine.
Niki is now officially a high school graduate.
Received my diploma yesterday afternoon, as well as my cap and gown for the ceremony later in the summer.
...
Man, I feel old. xD
Aaaaaand on a side note, happy birthday, Lady Kopaka! *confetti* =D

I loooove the nine year spinny. It's so beautiful. <3
If you haven't seen it, go find one of Black Six's posts, now!
Also going to BRICKFAIR tomorrow.
-Nikira
Had a few major hiccups getting back, but I am indeed alive now. =D
And maaaaan Dallas Fort Worth's airport is HUGE. Love the trams, hate that the AC was drowning the place in coldness at 2 in the morning.
I should know, I had to sleep in it last night. xD
I got a response back (edited for security reasons):
I am feeling SO much better now.
She said later in the e-mail (edited out for, again, security purposes) that she'll meet me tomorrow to talk.
Yay. =D
~Nikira
Three things:
1) I'm finally done with that huge drawing project! Now I just have to get it to the person I drew it for.
2) I got my hair cut. Like... really cut. As in much shorter than I had it before.
3) I only slept 4 hours last night. Mainly cause I stayed up 'till about 2 in the morning finishing up my drawing project.
So, if you'll all excuse me, I'm gonna go and collapse on the couch.
..Ah....mushy pillows... ^^
~Nikira
Good news first, of course.
I passed my written test for my temporary driver's license this sfternoon! I'll be going out with my dad in parking lots and stuff to practice sometime this week.
*hoorays*
~*~
Bad news, which is really disappointing:
Going to Brickfest... well, it ain't gonna happen. At least not this year. Sorry, Omi and KIE. ;_;
Yeah, my parents and I checked the calendar, and the dates for the event (August 25-27) don't work for me or my mode of transportation,
Hey, voting ended while I wasn't here! ;_; That's UNDEMOCRATIC.
*cough*
Anyways...

~Nikira
Dude.
Okay, so my bro got me Mazeka, right? And I was thrilled and happy and there was lots of hugs. He also threw in like two bags of candy which is also fun. ^^
But dude.
Dude.
My sis got me Axalara.
FREAKIN'. AXALARA.
She spent almost her entire paycheck on that thing.
I was deeply touched. Literally, I almost cried. D:
See Niki try to sleep.
See Dog get scared silly by thunder.
See Dog run upstairs to Niki's room.
See Dog (BIG dog, mind you) jump into bed with Niki.
See Niki with claw marks.
See Niki stay up until 8 in the morning with stupid dog.
And NOW I have pretty golden stars!
~Nikira
Why is it that I can connect my laptop to the Internet in a record 12 hours, but it's going to take at least two days to do the same thing with my DS...?
Ohhhhhhhhh college confuses me sometimes.
-Nikira
Yep, school is hard this year....
~*~
I finally have my AC12 entry (almost) done! It's taking me forever to complete, but I'm proud of myself.
I am highly doubting my success in winning, though. *hopes for a miracle or something*

English majors can enjoy science, thankyouverymuch.
It's the math that you won't get my approval on. Unless you can find some way to integrate lovely pictures into a Calculus exam.

*can't find Icarax anywhere*
D8
I blame you, Takatu.
You rubbed your Icarax-finding problem onto me and my whole state.
*index point of faux blame*
But yes, set searches are not turning up much. Which makes me sad.
-Niki
I wub October. It's not because of the fall-ness. It's not because of Halloween and all its teeth-rotting candy oceans.
It's cause I turn sweet 16 a week after Halloween.

Not many drawings done, unfortunately. I have a whole bunch of stuff to do for my church, not to mention I have about a dozen or so elementary-age kids following me around every moment I am in the church, who want to look at my sketchbook.
At least I'm popular among the kids.
Oh, and my dad's birthday is on
