Listening to: nothing, for once
Doing: posting and looking at the partial b-day gift I got yesterday <33
Oh my God, I'm posting already! So soon, right? After being practically dead, I return with novels for posts XD Yeah, I know. But how could I pass this opportunity of telling how my day of Tuesday the 13th went??
As you might know, Tuesday is thought to have "3 unlucky hours", and well, 13 doesn't need many explanations ^^" Combine these two and you've got the perfect way life can screw with you (as I found out myself yesterday). Before I begin, I'd like to say that I have a carefree attitude towards this, since I'm used to these ironies of life 
First, when I came to school, I wasn't late either - lucky me! However, the bus was full and I was sandwiched between 3 old ladies who kept chatting about their relative >_<" The bus was so full that I barely got off it; then had to switch to another bus so I ran for it - luckily, I caught it and it was empty! Then I got to school and found Nico (best friend and also desk mate) with a bag in her hands (empty one). She told me she had gone to print me a poster of one of my wallies, but the ladies from the printing center wouldn't accept her floppy disk >_< Wth? We had gone there once before and they had accepted it then!
We went to the Informatics lab to copy the pic from her floppy disk to my memory stick, after telling two classmates to tell the Geography teacher we were at the library, in case he wondered why we were absent. So we got to the lab and Nico turned a computer on, only to discover she had shut it off instead ^^" Then, it suddenly restarted right when we were about to copy the pic. We moved to a different computer and managed to copy the pic - yay!
Of course, I had no idea what pic that was, since she wouldn't show me XD
Turns out the wallpaper in question was the one below, which I now have printed on A3 laminated paper :3 *ish proud of it* Nico and her boyfriend argued whether this wallie or this vector would look better, and they decided upon the wallie ^__^
When I get my camera, I'll take a photo of it...when I put it somewhere on a wall ^^" Yup, my parents promised me a camera for my b-day! *.*
Back to the school story: the other classes were normal, aside from English, which was boring - but that's normal too. Then along came Chemistry, which a lot of people skipped; we were only 13 there T_T Don't tell me this doesn't beg for something to happen, I won't believe you. Of course, neither of us has 2 grades, so the teacher decided to throw a little "surprise test"! >_<"
I for one don't like Chem and you couldn't tell I've been studying it for about 5 years! I'm stupid XP What's left? Cheating, of course. Like I told a classmate before Chem class, what difference does it make if I don't cheat or cheat and get caught? XD If I cheat and get caught, I get a 1; if I don't cheat, I get a 1. So there are no risks! ^_^" I ended up cheating and, well, didn't get caught.
So much for that day, I'm just happy it's over. I'm not superstitious, but when things happen like this it's kinda awkward to blame it all on chance XD Thank you for visiting and reading my posts, as usual ^^ Take care!

Listening to: Fortuna, Imperatrix Mundi (Fortune, Empress Of The World) (helps me relax)
Doing: shamelessly leeching Seto no Hanayome off the internetz
I wish my cat would get off my lap so I can type properly -_-" I'm typing with only my left hand now.
I forgot how my blog theme looked ^^" I remembered it only when I saw it, a few moments ago!
Ahem, anyway XD I'm back! Some of you might've seen me lurking around since a few days ago; I came back from the depths of nowhere Azuga, a small town in the mountains ^^ Where I had no internet or computer access for 10 days (I was suffering from withdrawal! *suffocates X_X*). I can't say I did big things there, it was an ordinary holiday. Mostly staying indoors because I'm lazy to begin with, I don't know anyone in that town and it was cold. Sure, I did go out a couple of times (at least once a day) and went sleighing (and fell a couple of times >_<), and I don't regret it. Though I can't understand my parents' way of thinking - I don't rest too much there, I don't need to rest for that matter, since I'm basically a breathing, vectoring vegetable (of doom) XD
These last few days I've been bored out of my mind because I can't find anything interesting to do *sigh* Even keeping up with a blog is tiresome - sorry if I missed some posts, I'm up to my neck in unfinished Photoshop projects x_x And yes, sometimes I feel like I want to run away from everything! I wish this holiday were longer than 2 weeks... T_T How would you feel if you had to go back to school on the 5th??
Urgh, another thing to worry about would be my birthday coming up -__- On the 19th, to be more precise. The trouble is, I'm not a very sociable person, never going to clubs and all, so it'd be boring if I ended up having a party. Plus, parties are stressful for me because I have to make sure everyone's having a good time, which leaves me as a worrywart ^_^" My birthdays are normal days for me anyway, but I think it'd be weird if I didn't invite a girl who already invited me to her b-day party, on the 31st o_o" I bet I'm going to feel like a weirdo there. Buut, it'll pass - at least that's my consoling thought XD
Um, what more to say... I'm actually using my DeviantART account now! Though it's only for posting icons, since my already oscillating self-esteem would suffer a serious drop if I compared my fan art with the ones posted there ^^" But you can still add me as a friend there anyway, I don't mind <3
Might as well post some avvies here as well ^^ I think they're not as good as the ones I usually make, but maybe some will like them They're old -as in, weeks-, just to mention it. And the last one is my favorite :D

This is getting long. Like a friend from Minitokyo says, "growing, growing like a beanstalk" XD I'll end here; thank you very much for reading my posts and commenting on them, even if I'm a bad friend and don't do the same DX I promise I'll start commenting again as soon as possible, just gotta get out of this state somehow >_< *hugs* Thank you for being my friends!

Listening to: Gabriela Cilmi - Sweet About Me
Beware, post full of randomness below.
Hello, all my dear fans, admirers and stalkers! :3 I feel like I haven't posted in months, even though it's been last week! I always feel like that around exams -_- I know you all hate school now, since the last post was all about it, so this time I'm going to talk about it only in one paragraph! Yay!
The term paper in Maths was OK, not as bad as I expected it to be, which is a major relief! However, there were some complications involving the CAE exam (Cambridge Advanced English, I think), since it was at the same hour as the term paper >_<" Me and my dad went to talk to the principal about it, he misunderstood and thought the whole class was going to take it, whereas it was only lil' ol' me ^^" Fortunately, there were a lot of people who wanted to take it, so it's not like those ladies came there only for me.
So, yesterday I was happily returning from the post office with Nico and going to buy my dad a book as a gift, when she got a message on her mobile phone saying the head teacher was pissed off because we (the whole class) didn't come to school o_O" As if any sane person would come to school after a major exam, 2 days before the holiday begins! Our reaction: *insert synonim for "feces"* x a few times, blank stares at each other and, finally, running after a bus -__-" When we got to school the head teacher wasn't there and the rest of the classmates explained that I had to apologize to some teacher because of the misunderstanding. As if it was my fault! >_> But I still don't get why she dragged the rest here, if she only had business with me >_>" Weird woman.
Also, this CAE exam wasn't the real one, it was just for those ladies to see if we're prepared; if we are, we're going to attend some free courses and take the exam in June.
I didn't respect my promise and gave it two paragraphs XD Let's move on to the more pleasant stuff! I've begun watching an anime, Seto no Hanayome (Seto's Bride). I love the fact that San (the girl in one of the lead roles) isn't pushy and annoying. She's cute when she's shy ^_^ I recommend it for fans of comedies! And to show you how much I like this, here's the link to a folder of screenshots I took from it:
Expect more screenshots these days, since I'm barely at episode 5 out of 26 XD It's not addictive, but it's light and it feels like time passes by too quickly when I watch it.
I've also made some more icon bases, in case anyone wants to use them ^_^ They're all from Princess Tutu.
I'll be signing off then, I need to work on a ton of projects and die a painful walling/vectoring death x_x Take care, minna, and hope you're enjoying your winter holiday!
P.S. I might go on a trip to Azuga starting with the 21st; I don't know how much it'll take and I won't have any Internet connection over there, so I'll wish everyone a "Happy Holidays!" in advance! *hugs* Hope you get many presents and go wild spend quality time with your family and friends!

Listening to: Michael Jackson - Thriller (shut up, it's awesome)
As you probably already guessed, this post is going to be about my life, which in the last days has become synonymous with school! I don't think I've ever been as busy as I am now! First, there's the term papers. Second, there's a test in History. Third, some pictures I have to edit for an exhibition. And fourth, my own projects which are slowly reaching their (unfair) death.
The term papers. There are 4 in total: Informatics, Romanian, Biology and Maths. That's the order we decided to take them in (which turned out to be from easiest to most difficult) and I've already taken the first 3 ones, so there's only Maths left, next Wednesday. Why did I choose Biology? Well, from Biology, Chemistry and Physics, this one seemed the only way out, since I suck at the other 2 XP The term paper was a lot more difficult than we had expected; we had an problem too, and we never do problems in Biology! Out of 22 people who chose to take the Biology exam, no one solved it, so you can figure how unexpected it was ._.
Next, the History test. Our teacher has been quite nasty towards us for a while, because we didn't want to go to a competition which involves the making of a project (he needed a team made out of 3-4 individuals) and which was optional! He said something along the lines of "Ha, if that's the way you (the class) like it, the I'm not going to be nice to you anymore either". By "nice", he means not accepting any grade-reviving essays a.k.a. no more "free" high marks. I'm one of the lucky ones who got higher marks (I got 7 out of 10); there were some who got 4! And I can't help but feel he's going to be even nastier with this upcoming test >_>
As for those pictures I have to edit, they're landscapes of different places (Dublin, London etc.) that I have to edit for this exhibition coming up. Basically, they're raw images that need to be turned into panoramas (by stitching them together) or that look awkward (lighting, angles). They've been taking up a lot of my time recently, but I got myself into this by volunteering to do it ^^" That's right, it's for free. And I don't get to see my name on those pics either (which I think is fair, since I agree with only the photographer's name being shown). I'm more of the "shady editor" XD But it's nice to see the photos you edited being put on a wall and people admiring them! ^___^ *feels all warm and fuzzy inside*
Ah, the PS projects. Since the panorama thing, I've grown to dislike PS >_> Never thought it would come to this. But yeah, I had to force myself to finish some older projects and newly-started ones, like a Princess Tutu wallpaper - I'll upload it here too, later. I also had time to make a layout for my Minitokyo page . And just for the fun of it, here are more avatars. They're all from Benjamin's artwork:
Ah, I just can't wait to get rid of the Maths term paper~! I have to study for a lot this weekend so I don't know if I'll be able to comment on a lot of stuff, but I did get to some of you ^__^ *proud of self* Anyway, I hope your weekend is better than mine! *hugs* See you next time!

Listening to: Elitsa Todorova & Stoyan Yankulov - Water (<3 this song, Eurovision usually has good songs )
I know, I know, I've been basically dead for more than 2 weeks. Truth be told, I've been very bored to post; no fancy excuses, just that. Oh, and there's school as well, since the semestrial test papers are coming up and there's a lot of stress. One of them is next week and I haven't studied too much for it; the teacher isn't interested in doing exercises either XP
Urgh, I haven't been feeling well at all for the past few days: headaches, nausea, switching from cold to hot, all the signs of a nasty cold ;_; I don't want to get a shot, though, I've heard you can get another cold as a nasty side-effect, and I don't need that. Plus, standing in line early in the morning and hearing small kids scream like their limbs are being torn off is not exactly fun -_- Why do kids overreact? It stings for a few seconds and then they forget about it. Jeez.
I haven't been doing much in PS lately, I'm bored of that too, if you can imagine it! Really, I was crazy about wallpapers, then vectors, avatars, icon bases and stamps. Now, I don't care about them that much >_< I need a break from it all... *sighs* Though I recently noticed I make a Princess Tutu wallpaper every December, which means I should start working on one.
And why do people keep subscribing to me on YouTube? Can't they see I haven't posted a video there for more than 2 years? Had to get it out of my system XD
Oh, and I might also post a list of complaints over at the Creative Paradox, just to keep it going. No, it's not dead yet. Take your flowers back home XD I know, I have a twisted sense of humor.
I was talking to a classmate a few days ago, about Harry Potter and Twilight (she's an HP fan and hasn't seen Twilight). She told me HP 6 was supposed to be launched this December but they postponed it for July 2009 o_O I can understand why they did that, I doubt they'd have success if they tried to take on Twilight, in spite of the fact that they share a fair amount of fans >_> I'm not a fan of the HP films, I prefer the books. I still remember when I watched HP 5 with Nico, I explained half of it to her because she didn't understand what was going on (and we were both seeing it for the first time -CAM quality a.k.a. filmed with a camera a.k.a. for desperate geeks *coughlikemewithsaw4cough*).
Moral of the story: never, ever download CAM quality films. Unless you're a cheapskate geek like me.
Moar pics, because people get bored of too much writing XD This time it's bases, because I was too lazy to make avatars.

I wanted to complain more, but I see this is long enough as it is ^_^" Thank you for reading the post (or for looking at the pretty pics, whichever of these you did XD), have a great weekend! *hugs*
