Considering that my 17th birthday (3 weeks from Wednesday yay ) and Christmas are between now and then, I can understand why.
But ARG I FINALLY GOT MONEY TODAY TO BUY MAXILOS NOW I CAN'T DO ANYTHING WITH IT. D:

Ah well.
Maybe after my b-day and Christmas, I'll
We finally got snow! Ohio finally got snow!
...Ok, so maybe only a centimeter stayed on the ground, and it melted by mid-afternoon... That's all Indiana's fault, by the way. They stole all the lovely snow last week, and we only got rain, and *grumblegrumble*
But still! Ohio FINALLY got SNOW!
Bahahahahahah!

Art-Wise:
Working on a Photo Studio thing. I must admit, background are much easier to make if you have a good photo-editing program, but I still wish I had a tablet.
Does anyone else (besides me) think that Krika would look even more uberultraawesome if his four legs and his head glowed in the dark like Nocturn?
*has set and is liking it*
*is not liking its hard-to-draw-in-Niki-style factor, but will figure it out eventually* @_<

Just finished the Death Star for my bro's Star Wars room (see yesterday's entry). I couldn't find the wall paint I was supposed to use, so I had to use acrylic... I've been working on it for about 2 and a half hours now, and I'm actually very content with what I've done so far. (I've gotten to make little tiny X-Wings and TIE fighters everywhere - it's so much fun. ^^)
And now I've finally made myself some lunch. Turkey 'n Cheese Bagel with a big ol' cup of Caramel Chocomint coffee.
Some little scout must have found something yummy in our kitchen, because we now have hundreds of ants swarming through all of our front windows both upstairs and downstairs.
EEEEEW. >.<
They're kinda cool to watch, though~ I can't really decide whether to be disgusted or just curious... XD

Before you read this entry, if you weren't around the last time I did this trip and have no idea what in the world World Changers is, I suggest you read at least this first section of this blog entry, please and thank you.
Well, hi again, all. Sorry I scared you, TMD. The South was so much fun.
Georgia went very well. The drive last Friday/Saturday was really, really long and hot and humid, but it was awesome to look out the window when we drove through South Carolina and Georgia and see
1st project/3 projects completed.
18 hours, 23 visible layers. Full-view for best quality.
NOW I can work on that other thing, Smeag me boy gal (project #2). : D

*also finally has an idea for AC15 after scrapping over 20 different sketches* (Project #3)

I am in a penguin funk now, after watching that movie five times in a row.
I don't care about the political confusing whadeewhats, either. Singing. Dancing. Catchy tunes. It's a good movie.
And I also have the strangest urge to go learn to tap dance. Hum.

VBS - GAME DAY CENTRAL: 4 of 5 days completed alive. Sanity: Stable, but Groggy.
Hi again. I'm still alive! 8D
My friend didn't die, of course. All the kids were like, "OMG teacher, were you scared?" XD
We had a minorly major incident today with a couple of the boys beating each other up. O_o We shall now keep them seperated. Or threaten to put them with the girls when they misbehave. Both work fairly well.
So tonight's the big 'ol family night, where the kids bring their parents and
'Allo all.
I shall be leaving today for Brunswick, Georgia today, for a work project on assorted houses there. I shall be gone from today until very late on the 21st/very early on the 22nd.
I will also have no Internet access whatsoever, so if something important comes up and I need to be PMed or something like that, please remember that I will not be able to respond until next Saturday, at the least.
And don't be surprised if I start typing in a Southern accent and sound like Lady K w
I. DESPISE. Blood Test Needles.
I really do.
They creep around in my foulest nightmares.

Answered the phone. A lot. Followed a little non-English-speaking girl (about 3 or 4 years old), who was having a jolly good time taking butterfly stickers and flinging them into the air. My time was spent peeling these stickers off the floor, shelves, merchandise, etc. I never did find her parents. Got to remind a person that, no, we no longer carry the Bohrok sets. They were rather upset. Got to meet a Lego employee who stocks our shelves once a week. She was very nice. ^____^ Heard Bakuga
Emergency just came up.
I'll be leaving tomorrow morning for Minnesota, first thing.
I have no idea when I'll be back. Probably around next Tuesday or so. And i don't think I will have computer access at all during that time.
SOOOO, in the meantime...
Enjoy this messily-made LEGO cake.
See you all next week.

Another paper... It seems like I just did one last week...
...
... It's times like these that I totally hate school ...
...
*hits head repeatedly on keyboard*
~Nikira
2 weeks (and one day) until my 18th.
...
B-b-b-ut...
...I'm too young to be an AFOL already! WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN. D:
*feels kinda old*
I have a science exam on my b-day, so maybe that will dull out the sheer absurdness of it all. xD

I just got to read the script that my homeschool group is doing for the fall. It's a hilarious parody of the tale of Noah's Ark, written by one of our directors over the spring term. Animal personification knows no comedic limits in this script. The peacocks are prissy and proper. The lion's allergic to himself. The racoons are spies. And the hippo hates the over-ecstatic penguin.
It took them a while, but the directors also sent out the casting list.
And guess what?

I get to be
VBS - GAME DAY CENTRAL: 1 of 5 days completed alive. Sanity: Whole.
Ah, VBS. That awesome time of insanity and excitement that drains all the adult and youth workers who participate in it.
But hey, it went well for its first day. We have around 230 kids enrolled so far, with more coming tomorrow. To save time and frustration, we had to merge the Worship/Teach-the-songs-and-motions section with the Opening, and it worked fairly well, as the motions this year are much easier to remember.
*just got her first English rough of the year critiqued by the class*
Look look, the paper is in unity and flows and everyone understood it, but loooook at all the markings for Niki's awful grammar mistakes, incorrect subject-based contraction usage in formal writing (my fault, I'm lazy), usage of conjunctions to start sentences (again, I'm lazy ><) and incoherent placement of the thesis statement in the second-to-last paragraph rather than the first ("it ruined the whole narrative feel
