I feel bummed for not posting all that much. Last semester I had four classes and boatloads of free time and seemed to post rather frequently...now I have six and no free time and - wait, I get it.
Anyway, class listings have been cropping up and we now have the ability to make "wish lists" for the spring semester. Everything's kind of a jumble at this moment, so beyond my obvious three (Illustration II, Intermediate Life Drawing, and Fundamentals of Graphic Design (unngh...)), I really am not sure what I'll be taking. I'm mainly concerned with the English department, who don't seem to have their full catalog up yet. If, in fact, what they have up right now is all they're offering, my minor is boned.
Meh.
English was canceled today, which I was aware of. One more hour of sleep, yay! What I didn't know was Sociology, which I have right after English, so I went to class and was met with a sign taped to the door. I can forgive the prof, however, because he canceled class due to his birthday. (Or so he says. It was still lulzy.)
I was also excited to see my still life for Illustration hit the front page. WHAT. Guys, it's a still life, it isn't exciting... And this time, it HASN'T been pushed off by shoutas and fanart, which is cause for even more excitement. I dunno if people are as grateful as I am when I get up that high, but it's a pretty cool feeling considering I'm not producing sparkly moe desu things.
I just wanted to post something on 10/10/10.
That's all I got.
Or, "Kat is jealous but won't admit it".
Or even, "No, I really just don't get it".
So my roommate. I like her a lot, very much so in comparison to my disastrous previous year. She is nice, we talk, we have lolz, we bought a fish. I don't get to see her a whole lot due to how much I'm not in the room, but it's a pleasant experience otherwise.
She is also very cute, both in a "d'aw" way and a way that means the boys love her. She isn't obnoxious about it; in fact, she doesn't even talk about that stuff. She doesn't bother me in that regard. The stereotypical pretty girl she is not. Let me get that clear.
We both have our crushes on guys who we can't have for one reason or another (her case, he has a girlfriend, my case, well, my life is screwed up as it is), and we've both had boyfriends (her three to my...one), so it's not like girl talk is foreign.
There is one thing, though. And that is the fact that she has several guys showing interest in her.
And she knows it. And grieves about it.
And all I can say is "uh-huh".
Because this is the part I don't understand. I don't know what it's like to have guys after you like they are her. When she comes in and goes "Ugh, I hate boys" and complains about being hit on, or stood up on (kinda sorta) date, or complains about how everyone but her crush is liking her, it's...irritating. How am I supposed to respond to that stuff? What the hell am I supposed to say? I've got nothing, and I can't relate in the slightest.
So maybe I am jealous, even though I've freely acknowledged I have absolutely no time for a boyfriend right now. It is a bit annoying to constantly have to hear about it (constantly being once a day, at night, when I'm usually doing homework or just not paying attention), but there's nothing I can really do because I'd rather not sound like a jerkass and tell her that I really don't care.
In other news, my Illustration assignment made it to the front page of theO, which is a first for me when it comes to art. Daaang. FINE WORLD, JUST SCREW ME OVER WITH SHOUTAS AND FANART.
Featured fandom? Again? WOAH.
Dear God, Spikey is just staring at me while I type this...
Although I do feel that if people end up noticing and commenting, the majority will go "What is this I don't even WHO IS THIS". Justified slightly in that half details were made up. Subverted in that I don't care.
And I know the term should be "spiky", but whenever it was we named the mascot dude back in the grey days, somebody threw in the e and it stuck. Probably me. I like the weight it provides in the appearance. *dorknerd*
(I spent like a half hour on the thing, wtf.)
Adam gave people a week to do the banner design contest thing, and I am so on that. I've already submitted one entry and wouldn't mind doing more since it's not all that complicated.
This week is looking fairly lax, with no art projects due, so I think I can probably crank out a few more. I just need ideas. You people have ideas you'd like to see? Silly or not, something nostalgic or totally out there, I'd be willing to hack at it if I can. It doesn't seem like fan art is restricted, though I'm not really good at that. Maybe.
I'm kinda excited to see what people submit, seeing as how this kind of thing plays into the geeky graphic stuff I love. Color and size restrictions, oh my!
