I hurt my wrists today.
Somehow, without having anyway to hurt them, they are in much nerve-related pain. I can't turn them palm-side-up without hurting myself.
Dad thinks it's carpal tunnel syndrome.
I hope it's not. :X Already have limited wrist mobility because of a cist on one hand (long story) - don't need/want anything else. D:
Also, help relieve some of the pain of AC planning by giving us some feedback on AC17! It's been a little slow this year and we still need your ideas.
Happy International Tahu Day to everyone! =D
*breaks out Flametosser 5200 XL* Ooo, I'm gonna have some fun today!
I actually forgot about our member-proclaimed holiday until...ah...right now. Yay for my forgetfulness!
And a short blog entry it is going to be today...
~Nikira
*sigh*
I like the new coat of paint on me blog.
It's refreshing.
But man, it's missing something. I swear, it's like someone came up while I was carpeting the master bedroom and punched a hole in the living room wall with Mak's Black Diamond.
Hmm.... gah I can't put my finger on it. :|
Anyways, yes, this theme's going somewhere. Do not question my artistic frenzy.
*oogles at the bay windows on the third floor*

The next Art Contest will be starting within the next few days!
If you've got any ideas rattling in your head for this month's theme, go over to the Discussion Topic and share away.

A side note-
My Personal Messenger will be turned off tomorrow, so I can sort the PMs in the Inbox out and clean them all up.
So if you get an error message while sending a PM to me, that's why.
Huzzah.

Today was my first day actually working (and getting paid) at a fast-food restaraunt.
I got assigned to the register for my shift, but I ended up doing multiple things the whole 5 hours - mainly fries and bagging. I had a friend assigned to drive-thru, so that made things fun. My shift manager says I also make a mean cup of coffee.
I didn't kill anyone or blow anything up, so that's also a good mood-lifter.
It was all awesome and confusing and insane at the same time, and today wasn't
She spins and she sways
To whatever song plays
Without a care in the world
While I'm sitting here wearing the weight of the world on my shoulders
It's been a long day
And there's still work to do
She's pulling at me, saying 'Dad, I need you
There's a ball at the castle
And I've been invited
And I need to practice my dancing."
Oh please, Daddy please?
So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
Cause I know
Something the Prince never knew
Oh, I will dance with
Dealing with a sudden bought of seperation anxiety at the moment... bumping this entry accordingly.
I've watched the sunrise in your eyes
And I've seen the tears fall like the rain
You've seen me fight so brave and strong
You've held my hand when I'm afraid
We've watched the seasons come and go
We'll see them come and go again
But in winter's chill, or summer's breeze
One thing will not be changin'
We will dance
When the sun is shining
In the pouring rain
We'll s
Our church has been under the process of constructing a brand new Children's Wing over the past year or so. It's been greatly needed for a looong time - we have up to 120-130 kids and 20-25 adults participate for both Sunday School and Children's Church every week, and the previous building we had could only fit about 90 safely. It was crazzzy.
So now the building is nearly finished. Electricity works, plumbing works. The new servers for all our computers are huge and sweet.
We had our fi
IT'S SOMETHING BIONICLEY! (it's been what, like 6 months?.... I'm sososorry, I'm trying my hardest Dx)
Still working on the flow of the design, but I think you'll be able to tell who he is. xP
I'll be cleaning it up and trying to color it... er... sometime.
First things first: I need to figure out where in the world his rockets attach to his body. I can't tell from the pictures I have.
Maybe I just need to find better pictures.
Oh, and I got a 29 on my ACT =D (I got an almost
We've still got the cat from several entries ago. He's made no attmept to leave, so we're just keeping him after all.
Dad named him Toby. It's very fitting for some reason.
Anyways, because he's still got his claws, he's been a bit of a nuisance. He loves to scratch up stuff.
Including us.
See, he hates to be handled. You can pick him up every now and again and he won't complain, but most of the time if your hands get anyhere near him, it's teeth and claws and a bunch of long, deep
Today is the 3rd day in a row where it's rained and thundered and lightning-ed, all day long.
...
I thought it was summer. What happened to the sun? :[
shush lightninged is SO a word

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
Long final English paper is looooooong and I'm not even done with it.
It's also not the only long paper that's due within the next couple weeks. It's the longest, but it's not the only one. ;_;

I ate decent fried chicken for the first time in months. Yum. I ate decent beef for the first time in months. Double yum. I ate decent food for the first time in months. Cafeteria food is icky and blah after a while. I'm actually sleeping for more than 4 hours a night. Very glad for this, as I was so sleep deprived last month I could barely function. FREE LAUNDRY AND NO WAIT. ...stop giving me that funny look, Smeag. :| CAT. :3 This one is important. Seriously. Ask Smeag. Or Tufi. I FINALL
I CANNOT PASS THIS GAME ARGGGG. D=
I keep getting bombarded on the fifth level and lose all my power-up stuff within seconds. ;.;
EDIT: Well, I finally managed to survive enough to actually get pass level 6 and get the MoLf code for the first screen, and now I have to re-do the whole thing with the MoLf thing... and I got stuck on level 5 again and died. ;;
EDIT2: Yay, I passed it with the MoLf. =D
I got nothing in return, but hey, I passed it.
High Score: 134,600

Holy cow.
Dude. Dude. I read this book in like the last 30 minutes.
Lego has now reeled me into 2009 whether I like it or not.
Holy. Freakin'. Cow.
I commend you on this book, Greg. What a way to end the year!
I mean... seriously.
HOLY. COW.

Bookmarks! :3
Gali, Pohatu, and Lewa respectively.
Thinking about selling these when I get the rest of them done (7 total). They're approx. 1.5x5 in. and would be around $2-4 a piece (I want to find some protective film or something first, no idea how much that'll cost. )
Interested? No? Okay then, well, happy Wednesday I guess.
EDIT: Uhhhh wow. XD; Between you guys and my art page on a different site, I've gotten so much feedback about these! Thanks so much!
-Nikira
So, Niki really needed to re-publish this, more for herself that anything else.

Living life and doing stuff at school is harder this year, for multiple reasons. It took me a while to remember that the hectic pace of life won't stop just because inconvenient or seemingly unfair things happen to me or to people I know. It's difficult, and sometimes it's hard to realize that all I can do is keep trekking and aim for the main promises I gave to myself and to other people. I have no reaso
My AC entry is almost finished.
I may need another black and another brown pencil to finish it, though. Mine are only an inch long now, and it's getting painful to sharpen them, especially when I use my sandpaper block. I chafe skin. And bleed.
It is not fun to be in pain for the cause of art. D:

No, not those pirates, ya sillies. That movie doesn't come out until the 4th. I should know. It's cirled and dotted and has big red arrows pointing to its date on my calendar.
No, it's more like the pirates that Turakii would hang out with. Pirates of the more economical nature.
Pirates like these guys.

I'll never forget you.
Hope you get walked to your heart's content in doggy heaven. : )
