VBS - GAME DAY CENTRAL: 3 of 5 days completed alive. Sanity: Slowly Collapsing. The VBSGDC train rolled a little bumpier this morning. I thought I was gonna puill my hair out, what, with the way some of the younger boys didn't listen... ARG. *coughcough* The reaction to the drama today was hilarious. One of the 'mean teens' that happens to be my blondie-brained friend in the play gets stung at the very end, and she's deathly allergic. Five minutes after the lights go down on the stage, all the kids are babbling with wide eyes, and random kids came up to me during scattered times of the morning and asked if my friend had died. XD They also all think I'm a big ol' meanie now because of my skit character, so they're confused when I act nice. XDXDXD ... And we got donuts. Lots o' donuts. It's so nice. 8D Oh, and I recieved an important art project last night, so any members who planned a trade, collaboration, or project with me - this project is much more important. I'll be doing some major design work on your guys' stuff when I head out to Georgia on Friday. ~Nikira

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. And Drama went well. *collapses with relief* I'm the bad guy-who-eventually-turns-into-a-good guy. And I got a T-Shirt with "Nikira" painted on the back. It's a secret. Shh. << I teach 2nd-grade this year with two other gals. A great big class of 20+ and whoo-hoo, I only have one overly-annoying child to get after this year! =D But yeah... 4 hours of constant action and moving and what-not went pretty smoothly. Then I came home, collapsed onto my bed, and slept peacefully for 5 hours. Curse my iron levels. >> I actually didn't wake up until my cat jumped up onto my blankets and screamed into my ear. Not suprisingly, I had locked myself and my feline into my room, and my cat was extremely hungry. ;; ... So yeah, I got it worked out with my folks, so I'm going off to the doctor's office tomorrow afternoon to get some blood work done (I can't take an iron supplement without doctoral permission - an overdose on unnecessary iron could kill me.). I haven't had to have blood work done since I was 5. Yay for me. ~Nikira

Niki went to the movie theater yesterday. Niki saw Transformers. Niki liked Transformers. Niki didn't like so much off-color stuff in Transformers. The animation made it worth Niki's money, though. ... Niki now wants to watch TV Transformers, as Niki has not watched Transfomers since Beast Wars first appeared on television. ... Niki liked Beast Wars better than the movie. ~*~ Oh yeah...and, um... totally unrelated subject... I'm having some iron problems that are messing up my inner clockworks. My mother thinks it may be anemia. Yipe. So don't be confused if I suddenly fall asleep on my keyboard. It's happened five times this last week. ~Nikira

I've recently learned that over the past couple weeks, someone I work with during the week has been severely hurt, emotionally, by what I've been doing. It's hit me hard, as this person is an extremely important person to me. I had no clue what I had done until I was pulled aside by 3 different adults, who set me straight. What's horrible is that I've become the kind of person I swore I'd never be... I've fallen into a rut of depression because of this knowledge... and it's making me feel horrible... ~Nikira

First of all: I've got to give a great big THANK YOU to Uncle K.com for the gift. ~*~ I just realized it's really quiet in my house right now. Might be because of the fact that both of my siblings and my dad are gone for the week.... Na...that can't be it... Yeah, my mom and I are spending some quality time together this week, which we usually never get to do because of the busyness of our summer. It's awesome, cause I've recently learned that she's been through exactly what I'm going through. (Which is kind of a 'yeah, duh' thing, but I JUST realized it.) So we get to have some of those down-to-earth talks, and we get to go shopping and stuff. (Not for clothes, because that's silly. ) I'm actually getting these three pics matted and framed for the Ohio State Fair as well. (The second picture is getting a custom-made frame, with triple amtting and glass and everything. 8D) So if you stop by the Fair in August, look for these pics hanging in the Highschool Art Division Room, as well as a fourth that's in progress. And we're making brownies. Which is also cool, cause my dad and siblings usually eat all the brownies before my mom and I have any, so we get to eat the whole pan this week to make up for all the ones we've never had. *hides brownies from LK* ~Nikira

I got a response back (edited for security reasons): I am feeling SO much better now. She said later in the e-mail (edited out for, again, security purposes) that she'll meet me tomorrow to talk. Yay. =D ~Nikira

Family family family. Dad's sister and her husband are coming in about an hour. Mom's mom and niece are coming in two days. Cousins are graduating, great-cousins are getting married, and I have no doubt that one of my very, very old relatives from Florida is going to call in the next week, another is going to call and freak out in SPanish that I'm almost 18 (as I am the oldest grandchild) and another very, very old relative is going to be partying down in Puerto Rico while speaking in such fast and lazy Spanish that not even his wife can understand him. ... Why is my family so... HUGE. Arg. It makes my brain hurt to rememberesk them all by name. And I can't understand half of them when they talk. ARG. D: ~Nikira

Hee hee. ... I got my official SAT scores back from the College Board today. And I am smiling. ~Nikira

At 2:36 this afternoon, I finished my last 12th-level Math booklet for school. Which means I'm done with highschool math. FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. *parties* Now I can look forward to (loathe) college math. ~Nikira

ONLY 14 DAYS LEFT OF SCHOOOOOOL! =D Yes, that does include weekends, but still... What's even cooler is that, once I get this stuff done, I will have all my core curriculum finished, so techinically I can go to college. I won't be (yet), but it'll be nice not to have to do English, Math, Science, or Social Studies until I do enter insaneland college. ~*~ For those of you that would care to keep me in your thoughts: I need a job. BADLY. And nobody's called me in for an interview at anything I've applied for. ;; *sits in a corner and broods* ~*~ Oh, and for those that are keeping track of PT... What is it with me and stupid backgrounds? >< ~Nikira

Tomorrow's Mother's Day. It's also a Sunday. Sunday = hectic day for everyone in my house. So, since my mom, dad, and none of us will have any free time until after 1 p.m. tomorrow, we are celebrating Mother's Day today. Already did the classic breakfast in bed and got her some new birdfeeders to replace the ones that are falling apart because of old age. Later today we're taking her to a conservatory over in Columbus. Very, very pretty. She loves the place. There's even a special butterfly room she's been wanting to see since September. And, of course, my dad's taking her out for supper. We'll probably clean the house while they are gone. Or something like that. I like it when my mom's happy. ~Nikira

Over, the SAT is... ... I have never done such a long string of torture and doom in my life. ... *passes out* I think I did decently, though. At least, I hope I did. And I had to sign that form that says I can't tell you anything other than the stuff everybody knows already... ~Nikira

I started Iowa Basic Testing today. Which only makes me loathe math more than I used to. *rips hair out in frustration* At least I got the whole section complete this year. Missing about 15 questions before the time limit really hurts the final scores... << What's nice is that I got all that computation stuff done today. What stinks is that I have even more stuff to do on Monday, not to mention... *shudder* SAT on Saturday morning. (Who in their right mind would wake up at 7 on a Saturday... well... lots of people, I guess, but not me... I like to sleep. ><) ~*~ BIG BOLD NOTE For those of you that read Lady Kopaka's blog: She PMed me to tell y'all that she's caught up with schoolwork and will be back on BZP. She is, however, no longer a Premier Member. *sniffle* May we both loathe (and blow up) math valiantly. ~Nikira

Hooray, it's finally time for my Spring Break! To unwind before the ever-so-hectic week of Easter, my family's going to this HUGE indoor water park/hotel/thing here in OH. Never been there in my life, but it sounds totally awesome. Lots of good reviews from my friends. I'm bringing my sketchbook (of course), just in case I have free time to use it, so maybe I'll finally have a Barrakki or a Piraka done by the time I return... >> *cough*Good thing it's indoors, cause the weather is supposed to be awefully mucky this week.*cough* So, yeah, I'll be back on Friday night. And... uh, don't tell LK, but I'm sketching up something just for her. =D ~Nikira

I'm scared of the SAT. I take it the first week in May, according to my registration ticket, and I am not ready for it... Rephrase: I'm not ready for the Mathematics portion. I mean, I just did the practice tests on the College Board website about an hour ago. The Writing Skills and the... uh.. other one (forgot the name...><), I got either 6 or 7 out of 7 correct. ...I only got 3 out of the 7 Mathematics questions correct... none of the geometry ones were right... >> << *broods* ~Nikira

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

It's cold outside. ColdColdCold. More from the negative-degree wind chill than from anything else. >< ~*~ Ah... lessee, how did my Heart Day go yesterday... Well, I got a little something for my guy-friend (not a boyfriend, cause we're not dating *shakes finger* ) for Valentine's Day. Really simple, but I know he doesn't mind. ^^ We agreed last Sunday to meet each other at the Wednesday night activities at my church, like we always do. Crummy part is, we both got snowed in under 10 inches of snow and ice yesterday morning and afternoon. With Level 3 snow warnings on top of that which made it illegal to drive anywhere unless it was an absolute emergency, going to church was out of the question. And I tried to call him, both yesterday and today, but his phone wasn't on. I'm hoping that some of this snow melts by Sunday so I can go and apologize my head off. ~Nikira

Ok, Ok, quick expliantion time: Ohio is getting DUMPED on. We got three inches overnights, and it's still coming down strong. We're supposed to get 12 or more inches by nightfall (That's a total of 15+ inches, people.) Thus, we are preparing for power outages. I will be off BZP for the next couple days because of that. Just wanted to let you know. ~~~ Oh... and one last note... Jaller Mahri's mask ROCKS. ~Nikira

I learned a valuable lesson on Super Bowl Sunday: Never... EVER... tell a group of total Halo fanatics that you have never played Halo or Halo 2 before. They will more than likely run you out of town and try to behead you with their Xbox 360 controllers. Same goes for Final Fantasy and the Wii. Except they'll kill you with Playstation controllers and the cool white sticks. >< *rubs bruises on top of head* ~*~ Hey, look, I've finally shown my sorry face in the forums again! Life has been really really busy as of late, and I haven't had any time to do anything here, besides glance at the news every Saturday. This lack of time has brought me to the decision to shut down my requests list for my art topic. I do NOT have the time right now to even work on my own projects. I'm sure, eventually, I'll be able to bring it back up, but for now, it'll be closed. I'm just glad that my art topic isn't totally dead right now. ^^;; *goes out to play in the lovely snow* ~Nikira

1 week till Christmas! ~*~ Went to see Eragon today. Heh... I liked how they did Saphira, and I'm just a total fan of Jeremy Irons in any movie, but the rest of it wasn't very good. The storyline was so mixed around from the book, and they left way too much stuff out... It really wasn't worth my 30 minutes to drive or 11 of my 12 bucks. But, hey, my dad and bro liked it. Then again, they haven't read the book. So... yeah, if you also haven't read the book, then this movie'll probably entertain you. If you have read the book... prepare for many story-following troubles. Ah well. I got to see the new Imagi TMNT trailer, and that made it better. Sorta. ~*~ Oh yeah. I had a choir performance yesterday. Ah.. I guess it went well. My cough finally went away, so I was able to last the whole performance without, like, hacking out a lung or something. And afterwards, whoo! I got to rip up masking tape off of carpet for a grand total of 1 hour and 15 minutes! How thrilling! *Note: This was not as easy as it sounds. Masking tape has the nasty habit of sticking well to carpet. Too well. Thus the reason it took us more than an hour. *smacks Eragon moviemakers across head with masking tape ball* ~Nikira

Well, hey, I haven't been here for a bit. Stupid Civics, with all your branches and judicial junk.... >< I was going to stop by yesterday, but I wasn't home half the day. ...Oh... a reason... that's right, a reason. Uh... let's see, where did I put... aha! *clears thoat* My mother took me and my sister to Easton, about 5-10 minutes drive from Columbus and about a 40 minute drive from our place. Easton is best known for its shopping center. I no longer ponder why this is. The place is HUGE, almost big enough to be a town all its own. There's tons of stores that everybody knows, tons that I'd never even seen before, a two-story McDonalds and a Multi-Screen AMC Theatre. Lots of the well-known stores were, like, twice as big than their normal counterparts. (The Barnes&Noble has almost 3 levels, for crying out loud.) Well, yeah, I kinda got lost. Twice. And it stunk, cause it was wet and cold and rainy when I got lost. And my umbrella kinda wasn't helping me. ;.; I can't help it. I'm a terrible remember-my-directions person. I got lost while walking my dog in my own development for almost 3 hours, just cause I took a right instead of a left. Yeah. I'm THAT bad... Ah, well. I got some neat stuff. Neatest of which is Bionicle Legends #6: City of The Lost. Awesome book. Cliffhanger ending. Gotta love it. ^^ (I dunno if the spoiler warning for this book are off or not... I'm not sure...) So, yeah, that's where I've been. I'll probably be away next week, as I have exams to study for. That includes Civics. See me jump for joy. ~Nikira

Happy Christmas Eve Eve!... Day... Eve... uh... ~Nikira

Hey, MERRY CHRISTMAS! (Mountain and Pacific Time... Merry Christmas in a couple hours!) ~*~ Okey-doke, it's 1:41 a.m. E.S.T, Christmas morning, and I'm totally exhausted from yesterday... And I just can't seem to get to sleep...Seriously. It's like... I'm being watched... I betcha Anti-Santa's mad at me or something. He sent his mischeif elves to make sure I don't get to sleep so I don't have a happy Christmas with my family! Bleh... Maybe I'll sleep better on the couch. -.-;; Anyways... *goes into Jimmy Stewart imitation* "Merry Christmas, y'ol Savings & Loan!" *bell rings* Yay Clarence! ~Nikira
-
Whoo for Christmas Break! I gots no school until the 4th of January! *parties* And... yeah, my sister and mom just took off for somewhere. I asked them where they were going, and my sis just gave me this really insane grin that she always gives me when she wants to drive me crazy. Oh, and I have fudge, too! It's really good! ...Yeah... ~Nikira

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. Drawing jungle vegetation with a mouse takes really, really long. >.< So...Yay for snow? ~Nikira
