I didn't post about what went down on the 4th for me XD; It's kinda after the fact, so I proably won't go into much detail, so I'll just cover the highlights.
-- Visited my grandmother's house for for a 4th o' July cookout
-- Helped set up some things in the backyard
-- Played an intense game of badminton (not for points) until I couldn't stand
-- Went inside and forced cousins to play Apples to Apples
-- Set up Wii and played "Just Dance" and "World of Goo" demo
-- Ate BBQ
-- Played more just dance
-- Time to go, mom wanted me to drive (my arms were too tired to move)
-- I said a smart remark, mom got mad, and she drove in the end
-- Stopped off to pick up bug spray and got an Aloe Vera plant as an impulse buy... Named it Aloecard
-- Made up (all of us for various reasons) along the drive home
-- Watched fireworks from our backyard
-- Had some pudding cake and strawberry-topped cake and a bottle of Strawberry Acai Smirnoff
-- Passed out
Lol XD That's pretty much my 4th in a nutshell. X3 As for [yesterday], I went to Chicagoland Paintball with some friends and their friends =3 I'd never done paintball, before, so it was something new. The gun was a bit hefty, but not so much I couldn't lift it. My first time out, I got hit in the top of the head... We were required to wear masks, but it didn't cover that part. It hurt, but thankfully, it didn't hit the knot on the side of my head... Since I never figured out what it was, I don't know what would've happened if it got hit, but it (the knot I've had for about a half year) still hurts on its own from time to time. But I was the first one hit in the first round XD Prolly cuz I didn't know what to expect. We're supposed to raise out hands and walk off the field when we're hit. This was indoors, btw. The second round, I hung back a little rather than trying to move in closer from the get go. Yes, I was hiding behind the bunker the first time, but I was trying to aim my gun while shooting and got hit. But the second time out, I managed to last until our team won~ Third time, I lasted, but got hit in the mask. It exploded. XD; The last round I went out on I was actually the last person on my team standing and I was against two fromt he other team. I almost would've made it, too. It would be nice if they had a target range for practice with aiming. But it's more of a "jump in the game" sort of thing X3
We went to a Chinese Buffet afterwards. I got some sushi and various other things. I think the ones I liked most was the one with shrimp and another that seemed like sesame terriyaki, but I'm not sure what kind of fish was on it. Thankfully, I'm not allergic to any typed of food, as far as a I know. My fortune said I'd be attending a lot of parties and getherings XD; Not that I don't like my friends, but I've been semi-solitary (the exception is family) for so long that it feels awkward. I've always been shy, anyway, but it feels a bit like I've lost my grasp on basic human communication... I kinda felt like I was a bother... "orz If I could just type out everything in public, that might be easier =^v^;=
They had gotten a new dog D= They have so many pets...! Three dogs, three cats, and a gerbil, I think. But the one cat I hadn't met came over to me and was sooo cuddly~! X3 I'd never had a cat be so close and affectionate before, I was touched =;u;= And I finally worked up the courage to pet the fat kitty that's always there X3 He's an angry-looking cat... Or rather, it's like he's lost his dignity and he despises many people XD But he's not violent or anything, he just sits there and glares XD The third cat... she's always hiding and doesn't come around visitors, really. She's frightfully shy XD
I want a pet so bad =;_;= My mom's allergic to cats, so a dog is really the only option, and my dad is predjudiced against small dogs, especially chihuahuas... He thinks they looks like rats. *sigh* All his tastes are standard... Labs, Golden Retrievers, German Shepards, etc. Our last [and only] dog was a mixture between a collie and a chow chow, and she was a beautiful and great dog =;_;= I miss her so much, even though it's been 10 years since she got sick and had to be put down... *sniffles* I can't expect us to get a pet, though. Whether or not we can support one financially, something always comes up and interferes. *shrugs*
Well, I'm gonna leave this post here. It's getting sleepier in here... *yawns* Hope you guys are enjoying warmer weather~! Ja ne~ =^_^=
I almost managed to finish cleaning my room in a day... but there's still vaccuuming and changing the sheets to do. I'll do them in the morning, since it's too late at night now to vaccuum. But I did technically break my speed record for getting things organized. I don't know how long the average person takes to clean their room, but I really let mine go on a regular basis, so when I do get things straightened, I take everything off my major furniture sufaces and give 'em a good wipe down. X3 Because, y'know, dust =>u>;= And my stuff gets really dusty D=> Even stuff I would think wouldn't get dusty... =>_>;=
I think maybe the reason I got through most of it so quickly is that I changed my approach. I usually go through sectors of my room, removing things, wiping down, then reorganizing what belongs in that area. This time, I folded my clean clothes pile and put them away, then cleared things off the floor. THis might've made it easier to move around XD; Then I just did my sector method and things seemed to go more quickly. I probably would have gotten done in one day if I hadn't taken so many naps XD; I'd meant to take one power nap, but I kept resetting my alarm because it was too hot to move, really. That's probably another reason I'd had difficulty getting around to cleaning, since I rarely feel like cleaning when it's hot. Fortunately, today (technically yesterday) was cooler than it had been. Wai~!
So I'll vaccuum and change the bedsheets ( Don't worry, I still change those regularly, even if I let the rest of my room go, unlike some guys I know XC ) and if there's anything else I think need arranging, I'll handle that. Then it's off to take a nice long bath after the hard work~! I kinda wanna rearrange the furniture, but I don't think it's time yet. It's diffcult to come up with new arrangements since the TV has to be in a certain area, as does the computer desk. Not to mention, I have the huge bookshelf which would be difficult to move, even without books on it. I think, actually, I'll leave my room in this configuration until I move out. Since that'll be within a year, I think that's okay. I used to feng shui stuff more often in high school. Not sure why I did, but it helped me feel better sometimes. It's strange, but I felt a detachment while cleaning, I think. I doesn't feel like I cleaned, but then again, it's not over till the vaccuum sings XD
I actually typed more about this than I thought XD; Sometimes I just tend to rant =P But most of you already know that, don't you? XD That's all for now. Gonna get some rest and conclude the cleaning in the morning X3 Ja mata ne~!
I forgot to post about how my 4th went, but I'll have to do that later. I'm using today to get my atrociously messy room clean X3 Wanna get done by 10... Wish me luck~! =(=//w//=)= ~<3 (Maybe then I can do my work at my desk instead XD;)
Does anyone know how to delete a piece of fanart? I thought for sure there was an option to remove fanart from your gallery, but is it only for admins? That doesn't seem right. If anyone knows how, please let me know. *bows*
I want to delete that recent sketch of Abbie's new outfit. It was only supposed to go in the drafts folder, but I made a mistake. That piece of crap is not meant for regular fanart and even though you guys have been complimenting it, it wasn't supposed to be up there. It's missing details, so it's still a WIP and stuff...
I'm feeling really annoyed for some reason I don't even know, so if it seems like I'm snippy, I apologize, but I'm just really irritated... I'd like to delete it as soon as possible. Dont' worry, it'll still be in the scrap pile if I figure out how to get rid of the other one. That sketch was only meant to be conceptual.
I don't feel well so I'm going to leave tthis post here. Again, please let me know if you know how to delete things, ok? Thanks.
First off, I'd like to say THANKS to the guys (and girlses x3) upstairs for the promotion~! =D I honestly had no idea there was any level higher than Legend =^_^;= I guess that's one reason why I feel so honored =3 It's almost as if I achieved something that's not supposed to exist X3 Ahaha~ I DSL to thank partly because now I rarely ever log off XD I think the only times I ever log out of theO is when my computer malfunctions and logs everything out, which is kinda a pain to log back in, but it's cool anyway XD And I like to make sure I check updates daily, even if I don't update myself (although I'd probably be able to update more frequently if I wasn't stalking pages daily, ufufufufu =eAe=) Again, thanks for the promote and congrats to those who've also moved a step up the otaku ladder =3
As for the pain... I went on a small date with a friend the other day and I decided to wear my new outfit, which was a white skirt and purple tank. It was a cute outfit and I kinda wanted to guage his reaction. Well, he said I looked "sexified" which was funny, but I felt somewhat embarrassed, despite choosing the outfit myself XD; Being shut up for so long has made me socially constipated XD;; *is hit*
But back to the topic of pain... I wanted to go to a local forest preserve, but it was raining that day... Not to mention some large branches fell across the bridge and broke the guardrail... Looking back, it mgiht've been a sign not to continue, but me and my stupid self said "Hey, let's just climb over." Well, we were walking and talking and slowly but surely, we're getting ambushed by mutant mosquitoes! I should've known better, but I've been out of it lately. Well, instead of turning back the way we came, we decided to continue along the trail... and were greeted with, you guessed it... more mutant mosquitoes. orz
So we got bitten... A LOT. Most of them were on my legs. Now they've swollen to 20x the original patch size. So it hurts to bend my legs and hurts to stand for too long or walk on them. Plus, I got one between kknuckles on my drawing hand, which made my ring finger swell at the base... painfully. It's gone down, now, though, but there's still the matter of the bite on my palm, which is one of those total "WTF?! Are you serious?!" things to me... And it's at one of those spots that you use unconsciously to push, grab, and twist stuff... so it hurts my hand to get up, so I flop around trying to stand and sit because I'm tryin not to rub my legs on anything and my left hand is awkward... *breathes* Gah... I hope these start going down soon... I definitely won't be doing that, again... Not on a rainy day and not in a skirt. When I do, I'm wearing jeans and metal plated armor... I hate mosquito bites with a passion. Then again, maybe that's why I'm having such a bad reaction because I don't get bitten often... On the bright side, even though the patches are bigger than usual, they're not as red as the time I got 13 mosquito bites on one leg... on the same side... int eh same general quadrant... orz
Alright, enough about the eternal suffering xD; I finally finished my AT with Waku-chan. Go have a look x3 *is too lazy/sleepy to put a link right now* I'm getting tired, so I guess I leave this post here XD Ja na~!
