Dear World, It is time to take a chill pill. Honestly. You've really got to work on that. Love ya lots! -Nukaya What was this even about? Past me is really confusing sometimes. -FN
...until the bus broke down at midnight. We got back home at four thirty in the morning. Good times! And, while at the meet, this guy came up to me and was like, "Hey! How did you do today?", but for the life of me, I couldn't figure out who he was even though he seemed to know who I was. He seemed really familiar, though. I think he may go to a school in our conference, so he should be at the conference meet in two weeks, so I'll see if I run into him there. And speaking of in two weeks, hope
I really do not understand that movie. And it was my first time watching it, because my three roommates were all "What?! You HAVEN'T seen this movie??? Ok, now we have to watch it" and I'm like "Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh......k". Then again, I had the same reaction when I watched Clueless this past December. That entire movie made no sense to me either. I swear, did this extreme lack of these style of 90s and early 2000s movies just make it so when I finally do get around to watching them, I'm just like
I renamed a bunch of stuff. So, now: My desktop is Hogwarts. My recycling bin is Azkaban. The "switch between windows" option that I never use is the Room of Requirement. The internet is Diagon Alley. AIM is the Floo Powder Network. Microsoft Word is Flourish and Blotts. I still need a name for iTunes and a few other things, but there's not many music-related locations I can find in the Harry Potter world Track meet this weekend! And, we need more volunteers for the BrickFair Bionicle Mosa
At least, that's what the temperature was the other night at school. Luckily, I'm home for the next few days for Thanksgiving Break, where it is slightly only warmer, but hey, at least home has electric blankets. Also! Black ice on the roads is scary, and almost crashing is even scarier especially when the freeway going from school to home has tons of wrecks in ditches, and you see them and it's like "Hadthemediannotbeentherewhenthecarstartedtofishtailthatcouldhavebeenuslet'snotfreakoutnowok."
So, I had a dream last night that I was back at college and a tornado hit my school and I remember watching the tornado ripping through a wall while I hid under a desk. This wouldn't be so weird if it weren't for that when my mom was a kid a tornado hit her school and completely destroyed it. And you think this was a weird dream. You have no idea what you're in for.-FN
Woah! We just had a blackout. It wouldn't have been so unusual if it had just been one hall in my dorm, but it was the entire campus and most of the town. After a few moments of confusion as to what on earth was going on, one of my roommates and I went out in the hall and found out that there were a few emergency lights out there that had turned on (yay!). For whatever reason unknown to me, I decided to go outside and at that point and realized that the stars looked amazing. Then I promptly ra
Go congratulate Arpy because he's one of the winners in the blog contest. Woo hoo and good job! And go look at how completely adorable the kitten Lady K got is. Like, he is the cutest little fuzzy kitty. So cute! Stupid people are doing stupid things in my life (again) and this time they've brought something I thought they were done and over arguing about months ago. In other words, with this frustration back again, thank goodness for good true friends who don't ditch you and hate you over
My professor (Kerry) this morning in class: "So due to the heat wave we've been having, I was too tired to write up the quiz for you all to do, so no quiz today. As interesting as the half of that book was at one AM and my sudden mastery of walking up stairs and reading at the same time this morning, I couldn't decide if I wanted to do an excited fist pump or throw my book at him. But he did like my typography assignment, so yay! And, my final for that class may be involving help from you a

Seventy-something frame gif I made of me putting up nearly all of my art from my freshman and sophomore years of college over the course of at least three hours for my art program admission last fall. Kind of mad that I couldn't fit everything I set up in the frame, as there was a bunch more on easels to the left:
Oh hey, this is on the front page for news! Here are my BrickCon 2012 images from the Sunday public day! While it was an interesting convention and I was able to see some really fantastic sculptures in person that I'd been following online for a while, I do not think I would attend BrickCon as a full convention-goer. As usual, if you would like to use one of my photos (ie., if it is of you, it is your MOC, etc.), please PM me first, so I can keep track of where my photos are being used. Than
Things I have learned in my first week as a model shop assistant at LEGOLAND, CA:
Turn signals are a foreign concept in California.
So is going the speed limit. It's either five under or at least ten over. WHY IS THIS.
The average teenage lifeguard at a LEGOLAND orientation training is very confused by the concept of an adult liking LEGO and will ask if they need to call security if they see an adult without children walking around.
Also being one of five people out
See ya! I won't have my computer with me until the 21th, and I don't know how much internet access I'll have until then. Home, let me come home. Home is wherever I'm with you.
Hurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Thirty-one days. Until that thing. With the people. And the Bionicle. And the LEGO Bricks. And the singing. And the dancing. And more LEGO Bricks. *slight panic* I'm leaving the 5th to go work at a summer camp, so between now and August third, I'll have about maybe a week of time to attempt to pull any stuff I want/need to take to BrickFair together. Which right now would be my mosaic piece, a Heart in Oregon thing I'm working on, and maybe a painting (pro
Some great and rather odd quotes (especially that last one) from some campers this session.... "MASTER CHEIF IS BILLY MAYS?!?" "If you ever have problems, move to Boston, because everything is normal there." "People from Canada are cannibals. I know that because I read it in a book."
YEAH AWESOME HI MADDISON. I AM IN YOUR BLOG, EDITING YOUR ENTRIES. Sweetness. 'Sup? Not a lot! I am talking with some girl right now, whilst trying to maintain proper decorum in the blogosphere! No way! I'm am talking to some guy right now. It's pretty neat. Still sitting here, writing up some entry about BrickFair. It's really great. Oh man, Brickfair was so much fun! I miss it lots. I look forward to this entry of yours! I bet it will be full of mishaps. And there was defs bubble wra
I think that it was hilarious. There certainly will be better Superbowl halftime shows, and there certainly will be worse, but XLV's was hilarious because of just how out of control it became: Fergie: When you are combined with a bad microphone and trying too hard, you start to sound like Adam Sandler. You are a better singer than that. The people or person in control of the sound board: Some of this is partially your fault. Weird lagginess and sound issues shouldn't be happening at an event th
I am currently djing it up from 9-12 at 91.7 KEOL, the radio station at my college. First time on the air as an actual dj! Woo! Yeah, I'm kind of stoked. ..... But wait! There's more. Why on earth would I ever want to get involved on the radio in the first place? Les Sarnoff, a dj at Kink FM, a station in Portland is pretty much my reason. I grew up listening to him every morning as little kid. Whenever I was eating breakfast and getting ready for the day or my parents were drivi
TOMORROW IS NATIONAL HUG A CROSS COUNTRY RUNNER DAY. SO GO HUG A CROSS COUNTRY RUNNER. Might have to tell them to stop running for a moment so you can hug them. BUT SERIOUSLY GO HUG THEM. Despite popular belief, they do not bite. Unless you really make them mad or something. Oh, and the men's team, along with two of the women from my university's XC team qualified for the national cross country meet, which is happening this Saturday at Ft. Vancouver. Woo hoo! I might carpool with some pe
Must. Stop. Looking. At. Wedding. Photography. *drags self away from website* Not helping my mood. This is one habit you will never give up, but it's going to be really helpful in your eventual career choices.-FN
In lieu of being unable to go see the midnight viewing of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (which I am ridicilously disappointed about) as I'm currently working at a summer camp and have no way to get to a movie theatre, I'm posting these mini cakes that I made for my friend's 18th birthday last year. Yay! =D "My parents are dead, my life sucks, I can't hold a girlfriend, and I'm always surrounded by goblins!" "Let's bother Snape! BOTHER BOTHER BOTHER." "Alas! A cornucopia of love
