This morning I found out about this store called Skia, and we decided to visit it today. It's an awesome store! They sell music, books, apparel, and there's a café and skate shop inside as well! Not to mention you get free WiFi! So I applied for a job there. They aren't hiring yet, but they said they'd contact me when they are.
Not only that, but on the 24th (this month) Superchick will be there to meet fans, sign stuff, and celebrate the release of their new album Rock What You Got! I
There was this brght green grasshopper on our porch and I took a few pictures. This one turned out the best.
That is an actual photo of the grasshopper. No Photoshop effects or enhancements. I only used Photoshop to resize and crop it. For a larger version click here.
I know watermarks are totally anoying, but I don't want anyone stealing that photo.

Ok, I'm back again. Gosh, with all the chaos at my house, it takes forever to write a single entry. Oh well.
Anyway, I'm feeling a lot better now! And I've rearranged my bedroom! It feels much more spacious now.
In other news, tomorrow is a busy day for my family. In the afternoon(?) we're going to the library to take care of various library-related tasks, then we'll be off to go to some sort of museum. I don't know of what kind, I just know we're going to one. Then we'll be taking my s
Let's see... I'll start with Wednesday.
Two days ago I got a haircut. At first I wasn't sure if I liked it or not. (Before, it was just below my ears.) But I like how it looks now. Not too short, but I like it. I don't have a very good past with haircuts. For several years, everywhere I got a haircut, they either cut it shorter than I was comfortable with, or I just didn't like it in one way or another. But I like this haircut.
Ok, on to yesterday...
A family in our church gav
If you're reading this, then I suggest you stop for a second to read this.
These are just my thoughts on the matter...
I'm glad TP posted that. General Discussion is overflowing with stuff like that. It's called general discussion. Things should be disscused there. Almost every topic I see there is a question that anyone can easily answer with just a few words. Easy post counts. Don't get me wrong, some of them are pretty good questions. But In my opinion, some of those topics are just scr
I'm 18 today! Well, actually I'll be 18 at 6:45 PM EDT.
And about the whole moving situation, I think I understand what's going on. My parents are going through all the options for places to move to that will accommodate us well. The previous states mentioned are the options, not an indecisive attempt at choosing where to live. It's just the way they brought this all about that got me so confused!
Anyway, a new option (big surprise there) is just around New York City! New York is one of
I'm sick, possibly with Strep Throat. So I've been pretty board all day with spontaneous urges to draw and play music from Kingdom Hearts on the piano. Part of the drawing I've worked on all day you can see below. After I made the head I decided to give it a body, so I did. (Click the image below.) It was drawn entirely in photoshop with a graphics tablet. I might redo it sometime to give him different clothes, because I'm not too sure about them.

He went to bed, and bumped his head
And didn't...
Gosh, nursery rhymes are morbid.
It's raining here. And everything is covered in ice. Dangerous, but it looks cool!
Just... so you know.
I've finally gotten to play Kingdom Hearts for the first time! I don't know why I haven't played it sooner. I seem to have a habit of getting into things after the hype subsides. Unfortunately I'm only renting it. But I'm definitely going to buy it after I return it.
Some friends of ours visited today from Missouri. They were passing by on their way home from... Texas, I think. We had lunch with them, (sub sandwiches) and then just messed around the house. We have this empty lot that we own next to our house... we don't live in a modern suburban area. It's filled with trees, and we have this disc swing tied to a tree, which we swung around on. I filmed my dad pushing my little sister on the swing at a wide angle, and when he pushed her she swung out of the
I'm going to "Pimp my Blog," so if everything is all jumbled up and stuff, don't worry and complain and all that suff that breaks out from strong-willed people who insist on their way of life. I'm working on it.
Ok, I pretty much finished. But there's this anoying space of empty pixel in the navigation list, and it's not from any of the images. (I checked.) Oh well, maybe it's just a glitch.

I found my old sketchbook! Most of the drawings you've probably seen already in my past topics, but there are are two drawings that you haven't seen that I like that I'm now going to show you!
Rahkshi of weather control
Roodaka's mad! (My favorite!)
I don't know how long ago I drew those. In that Roodaka one, I was experimenting with drawing emotions. And I think I drew the Rahkshi one sometime after Greg F. released the wild kraata chart.

A few months ago, I think it was some time in February, I drew a picture of Maku sitting on her bed in Metru Nui remembering Hewkii, since he left and (though she didn't know it) became a Toa. So yesterday I wrote a short little story that goes along with the picture I drew. You might have to listen to some soundtrack scores to get into the moment. It helps. Beleive me. I listened to Resilience, One Last Look, and The Letter That Never Came by Thomas Newman (Unfortunate Events Soundtrack), For T
The first flower I've seen this year; a daffodil...
And another one...
Oh yeah, and I just realized...

Happy St. Patrick's day!
I can't think of any good blog titles lately...
Anyway, I've just completely updated my website. It has a totally new layout featuring two drawings I've drawn recently. The one to the left is my interpretation of me, and the one behind it is a picture of a sunset I drew completely in pen with the character Aqual I told you about in a past entry. I really like this layout, compared to the last one. If you view my past layouts, you can see how my web design skills have improved.

I went out to catch fireflies just now. Though, unlike in movies, they don't glow while in the jar. I guessed they were too scared to glow, so I let them go. :/
But they are amazing creatures, aren't they?
Ok, it's midnight, I just got back from seeing Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and it was awesome!
I love the fact that they made it look and sound like the older movies. Same sound effects, and there's something about the way it looks that blends it in well with the last three movies.
- Seriously, if you haven't seen the movie, do not click the spoiler link. -

Well their not "twins," but I needed a word that meant two in some way. (without saying two.) Anyway, yesterday I had the whole day free, so I basicly just MoCed all day. I made these two awsome beings that I must say, I think are my best MoC's to date. But I think I'm going to save them for the next BBC contest, if it fits into the catagory. If not I might post them. Well, I don't have anything else to say, so...
It's been sleeting all day today, and now it's snowing! Everything's coated in ice with a predicted 6 to 8 inches in snow. Almost everything's going to be closed tomorrow, so we can pretty much consider ourselves stranded.
How do I feel about that?
Awesome!
Great.
Look how beautiful it is outside!
Duh,duh,bumm,bumm... ... Huh? What?
All that in one.

Oh, and check out this apple I made last night.
