Disky

I don't think I could go to a LEGO convention and not buy at least one new LEGO set at the store, even if they aren't giving discounts anymore.

We take finals rather late here. I'd rather have them before winter break, before the year ends, instead of this soon into the new year, but that just doesn't seem to be the case with my high school. Definitely... There's a bunch of other games I've been meaning to play for the 3DS too~

Remember how last year, during my spring break, I had a pretty bad fever? Well after a few days of minor sickness, I got a fever today. It happens to be the week before a break from school, too. I may have to miss the last two days of school depending on how I feel, but I hope nothing major happens since the semester is ending this Friday and finals finished today. At least those art supplies I ordered are here to keep me company... and my DSi (aaaaah I want a 3DS for Pokemon).

That sounds tough buddy. I mostly bought markers and some paper. Gotta love storewide sales.

That's what I said to myself as I started down a spiral of madness in trying to recruit a single soccer player in the Inazuma Eleven: Firestorm DS game I got for Christmas. His name's Aphrodi and he's a fantastic player. To recruit him, I had to beat him in two soccer battles (4 on 4). Except these battles were 25 second battles where I had to score a three goal lead in each. Consecutively, so if my party was in a poor condition after the first battle, too bad. And I must have battled him at least 20 times?? I had to do some super tough training before going back and trying again, this time with higher success rates. But at least twice, I missed the chance to recruit him by one little goal. Just... one... aaaa But I finally did it earlier today. But it was one of the most frustrating experiences I've ever had... But I finally have Aphrodi on my team. Anything is possible. :') Except I heard there's one player that you can only recruit after three of these kinds of matches... and sadly that's my favorite character so I have to go through that experience again soon... in other news I just saved $63 on art supplies

Thank you all! ^^

Yesterday, I submitted the last of my applications to college. It was difficult and stressful, but I'm glad that I have the whole process over with! Although I don't really feel free, because senior year workload is putting pressure on me. But hey, at least I have one less thing to worry about. Hopefully I'll get into the schools I selected, especially my top choices. Right after submitting my application, I feel a bit nervous about it all, but I know I'll be able to set aside those thoughts until I get an email or envelope with my results.

I really hope you've been holding on since the last time we conversed. My thoughts continue to be with you and your loved ones.

"As Disky awoke one morning from uneasy dreams she found herself transformed in her bed into a whale."

Yeah... @Bfa: I've considered those, but to what extent would the mitten half of it limit how much I could move and use my fingers for various tasks?

I cut the fingertips off a pair of gloves, so that I have an easier time doing things like typing or using a touchscreen. Behold the result. Jokes aside, it's not as practical as complete gloves in keeping my hands warm. At one point with the fingerless gloves, my fingertips started hurting because of how cold they were... They felt completely frozen. So at the moment, I interchange between the two types of gloves I have. Sometimes I have one kind on one hand, and another kind on the other. My right hand also doesn't wear a glove when I'm drawing or writing.

What with the infamous hurricane Sandy hitting the east coast, schools are closed tomorrow in my area, and for at least two days in parts of surrounding states. Transportation has been shut down here as well, along with other facilities. There have been evacuations as well, though thankfully I don't live in an evacuation zone. So I hope every one of you living along Sandy's path stays safe!

Ddude: That will be me soon. =P Blade: My hands are warm on rare occasions, and I try to savor those moments as much as possible because I know only dreaded cold can follow. Brickeens: My mom thinks I have terrible circulation in my hand, though I don't know. I just hope it doesn't persist for me either. Sumiki: I know that feeling. Often not even socks can save us...

I have a reputation among my friends for having ridiculously cold hands all the time. I just have to poke them and they go crazy over how cold I am. And my hands are even colder when I'm at home, so my mom is actually letting me wear gloves inside the house (well, not when eating and all that, but otherwise yeah) so that my hands don't feel like they're frozen. So right now I'm wearing these really fancy blue gloves over my hands. My mom offered to let me wear these old gloves that are like 70 years old, but I declined... they were much too nice... I'll be using these other gloves soon, from my childhood, on which I can cut the fingertips off so that it'll be easier to type. Either way, this glove thing is working a bit. My hands still feel cold but it's not as bad. So yaaay.

I wish I could have made it to this, it looks like it was fun.
