My birthday is in like a week and a half. Oyyyyy. D: *feels old again* My sister's birthday is like a week and a half after that, though, heehee. What should I get her? :3 -Nikira

Yup. Didn't get to dress up and go out with my brother to get candies this Halloween. Mainly because: 1) My costume does not fit anymore. It is now too big for me. Odd. I will have to come up with a different one for next year... 2) I have been doing poorly all day. Half due to the weather, half due to medicine that keeps making the world spin the wrong way and keeps knocking me out when it's supposed to be waking me up. *sigh* Ah well. Got to spend the day away from school, at least. Watched my brother and his best friend dressed up as a Tusken Raider and a Wookie respectively, sprawled out on lawn chairs in the front driveway, handing little kids candy (a couple ran screaming, I felt kind of bad xD). Got my hair chopped. Had a rather, urrr... uneventful day otherwise. I would've drawn but I do not have my sketchpad with me. =( Tomorrow after church, I'm going in for a job interview at ToysRUs. This is very important to me, as my current job not only has management that is treating myself and other employees (mainly the females) like dirt, but is also too fast-paced for me to physically keep up with anymore (fast-food joint off a main highway - high-motion actions for up to five hours stretches). I was struggling enough when I left in August, and at the rate I'm doing now, I won't be able to keep that job for more than 10-15 hours a week, if that. ._. Seeing that ToysRUs is starting to hit their holiday rush, I know it's going to be busy and I know I probably won't get paid as much per hour, but if it isn't as high-demand for physical exertion as McDonalds, then I think it'll be worth it. I can handle dealing with customers that don't like what they purchased more than customers that expect to be in and out of the store with something perfect in less than 90 seconds. =___= So yeah, wish me luck. The store manager seemed really nice and alive over the phone - hopefully that spirit is around the store as well (something I miss about the old managers of my current job). =) Oh, also, December 26th shall be the start of a time of awesome. Yup. -Nikira

So my school's email server decided to get a bug of some nature. So my computer can't recieve email on and off at the most inconvenient of times. Like when I need to email a professor. Or print a study guide. Or send files to people for stuff. I was able to use it five minutes ago, too. It broke behind my back. Again. The dirty little wretch... ;__; Aaaaaugh. *bostaff* Come on, email, stop breaking! D:< *thwackthwackthwackTHWACK* -Nikira

Death is a scary thing, y'know? It's always so hard to see a family go through the death of a loved one, especially a parent. Example being Mr. Hill, a man from our church and the father of one of the guys I grew up with. Amazing guy, very compassionate and caring and helpful. Loved kids, especially babies. =) Mr. Hill was perfectly healthy when I last saw him on the 6th of September - still in his normal routine. About three weeks ago, he was having trouble breathing and was starting to lose weight at a rapid pace. He went to see a doctor. No treatments were affective. About two weeks ago, he had lost a substantial amount of weight as well as energy - his wife had to take time off of work to help him do simple things around the house. He had a biopsy done of his lung soon after. About one week ago, he was diagnosed with a rare, aggressive cancer (liver, lungs, and colon) that does not show up in normal blood tests. All stage four. He was put on a 24/7 chemo drip for five days. Two days ago, he was taken off the chemo and put into hospice care - the doctors said that the cancer had advanced so far that chemo would not help. Tonight, Mr. Hill passed away. Please keep the family in your thoughts and prayers. -TLK

How do I know it'll be a busy day? 1) I am currently getting ready for my first meeting of the day, and my last one is supposed to end around 1am. 2) I have to carry two backpacks with me. ;__; -Nikira

Forums are back! :]Need to look for a new job - management is getting so poor, I fear that I won't be getting any hours whatsoever if they keep this up.BRICKFAIRSchool is also back - just started sophomore year on Friday.6 doctor's office visits since the boards went down = ick. Results = also ick, but we're finally getting somewhere at least. =DOn that last note - I got six vials of blood taken from me in one sitting and I was still able to walk out of the office on my own without getting dizzy. Which is apparently odd. Maybe I have a secret gift or something. BRICKFAIRSmeag is twenty now (his birthday was last week). Make him feel old and stuff.I am in a hand brace. I am also an old fogie. I can recognize freshman on campus even if I have no idea who they are. Even though I'm about as old as they all are. I am also starting to talk like my mother more often. Weird. D:BRICKFAAAAAIR (I leave in two days.)School books are expensive. Amazon is our friend. <3QotHB is awesome. One word: Favre... o___o Oh ya, and Brickfair. whooooooooo~ -Nikira

Family member just passed away tonight. My leave is being extended accordingly. -Nikira

Lightning just struck a house about three doors down. All our appliances went off, and then starting going beserk, including our fire alarms and several battery-related items (ex. one of my brother's old Hot Wheel playsets went bonkers). Computers were all fine, but a surge got through mine, through my headphones and zapped me in the ear. Ow. There was some property damage done to the roof of the house, and there were lots of fire trucks. Other than my ear, no one was hurt, yay. Makes me very glad I got put in the house I am in - I feel very lucky indeed. :] -Nikira

I woke up today. And there was no Smeag to greet me. We had a wonderful time this weekend. One would wonder why, since I was sick most of the time he was here, plus we had some unexpected and scary things happen over Saturday and Sunday, but we got to spend some wonderful times together (he took me on a date! <3), and we are now both safely at our respective homes, all in one piece. Give him hugs, he's an awesome trooper. Oh, and belting Queen in the car for 30 minutes straight will never get old. We did that a lot. Shyeah. But now there is no Smeag. So I guess I have to go back to work today. Ew. -Nikira

I GOT ON DEAN'S LIST! I GOT ON DEAN'S LIST MAN! *melts* -Nikira

Kay, so like, I'm having company over the rest of this week. Company is, like, the awesome Smeagol4. So like, I won't be on much. =3 <3~ -Nikira

A A A A- B B- CR (credit-only) 3.51 for the semester. 3.47 cumulative. No Dean's List. I was so clooooooose! D: *headdesk* -Nikira

One of my fellow classmates is not doing too well. He's a wonderfully smart guy - high grades in all of his classes, pretty sure he was eligble for Dean's List next semester. He attends three of my classes, as well as having previously been my bowling partner back in January/February. Really quiet in large groups, really talkative in a bunch of two or three. He already wasn't able to return to school. Like I explained a few entries ago, because of our state pulling out all private school funding, many students are not able to come back. He is one of those students. He was doing really well and his grades were high, but the amount of money he was losing would be almost impossible to regain. So yeah, he was already a little down these last few weeks of school. Then he vanished from classes for the last couple days. Nobody knew where he went. Until today, when he emailed all his professors. Apprently his mother died on Wednesday morning, quite suddenly. She has been put on a ventilator for some small breathing problems earlier in the week, and then she just... died. My classmate is completely, emotionally wrecked right now. He has given up on finishing school, even though we only have two weeks left, and he says he never wants to come back. If you could, please, keep him in your thoughts and prayers today. -Nikira

Owwww my brain. Owwww my sleep cycle. Time for the craziness known as final prep. I'll see you all in May. ^^ -Nikira

Hey members. Quick comment. If you want to stay friends with someone - Learn to forgive and forget. It's important to kinda nudge our friends in the right direction if they make mistakes, yes. But no matter how big the mistake is, if the person apologizes, forgive. Then forget - that doesn't mean bring it up later. Learn to let it go. Clutching onto a negative memory doesn't make you a better person than everyone else. Holding onto something like that just causes resentment and bitterness and all sorts of messes on all sides involved - being a true friend means sharing trust with another person and knowing that everyone (yes, including your uber-cool, "perfect" friends) makes mistakes. Also, having the mindset of "well if they won't forgive me, then I won't forgive them" is not superior. It is arrogant and selfish. Prick that ego of yours, let it go, and for goodness sake, get on to the better things in life! Like real friends. Real friends are better than overly prideful ones. -Nikira

It seems that prices for private schools are going up quite a bit. And at the same time, private school state funding is plummeting. Like a rock. The incoming freshman class - the largest group we have ever had, at about 1,700 - is getting some of the best financial aid the school has to offer. In contrast, over half of our existing student body (1800+ students) have been told by financial aid that "you are not going to be able to come back", and will be either transferring to a public school or scrambling to find some means of money over the summer. Means of money is usually about 6 - 12K, out of pocket. ... Half of my friends are in that latter category, and their GPAs are not high enough to get them at least a little bit of extra cash (which requires you to be Dean's List or higher). ... I'm almost in that latter category. I need to literally ace everything for the next 7 weeks to even think about keeping some of my scholarships. ... This is not cool at all. -Nikira

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 FINALLY got Takanuva Titan. Leg articulation stinks (I like Mazeka better as a 2008 box set), but I've wanted him for quite a while now. <3No homework... well, sorta. Not as big of a homework load as I thought this time around, although I have a fairly large project (about 23+ pages total) due when I get back. Plus some research thing that I haven't even gotten my assignment papers for that is due next week. Ack. o_O; Other than that, the amount of work is pretty light. I finally got to go back to the doctor. He still don't know what's wrong with me even after running quite a few tests, but he ruled out quite a few things which is always good. He recommended a nutritionist, so I need to go find one of those sometime this week.Other fun stuff! It looks like I'm meeting up with a fellow BZPer sometime next week after I get back! It shall be most awesome. =D -Nikira

Pictures are fun. They are less fun when you have to memorize and review over 100 pages of them (about 5-10 pics per page) for a 14-page exam. That's like a thousand pictures. x_X; -Nikira

Can someone remind me who or what or where this magical thing called "sleep" is? I seem to be missing a whole lot of it lately. EDIT: This lack has caused me to become ill. I shall be gone for a while. -Nikira

Up in the clouds right now, leave a message. <3 -Nikira

No interwebs. At all. For 14 hours and counting. ... My laptop must hate me. (On a school computer right now, which is basically just a hunk of junk with like... nothing on it *sad*) -Nikira

Sunday starts the most amazing week of awesome ever. Seriously. I will take pictures. But in order to take pictures, I need to be away from my computer. I also need to do quite a bit of cleaning and what-not - the house is still recovering from Christmas. x_X So! I will be on only shortly tomorrow (due to the cleaning and stuff), very rarely from Sunday to Wednesday (28-31), and not at all from Wednesday evening until the following Sunday (31-4). Kay? Kay! Then I'll come back and be all geeky and stuff. =B I shall bid you all a fond farewell now while I have the time, and I will see you next year! *hugs* -Nikira
