Goodness. theO automatically logged me out one day and apparently I had typed in my PW wrong or something both times so I couldn't log in. After talking to Gail (one of the mods =] ) for a while I have it back now. =]
One new fanart here, of Rikku and Yuna. Kind of. xD
Okay. Off to check your blogs now.

Phew!!! Thank goodness it's Thanksgiving break!! =DDD It was my mom's birthday yesterday, too, so that was also very cool. =] We invited a whole bunch of people over for Thanksgiving and I got stuffed. Yummmm sweet potatoes. =9
Wednesday during sixth period I got asked out by a boy. Yyyyup. I had pretty much guessed that he liked me since like a month ago, cuz he kept calling me and IMing me and e-mailing me and facebooking me everyday. Dx lol He seems to be really sweet so I said yes. XD We were working on projects in Spanish, and some of us had to film for it. He had to but I didn't, so while he was out filming some messenger from the office came into the classroom and gave the teacher a package, and the teacher was like, "RH, this is for you!" So I took it and it was a box of chocolates that had a note on it that said, "Movies this weekend?" and his name. x3 My friends devoured like all of my chocolates though. XD But I was SOOOOO red!! And he was too embarassed to come in till like five minutes before the period was over. =3 But when he finally did I gave him a hug and said yes.
I just told my mom and she was all like, "..." Dx Scary. But she said that as long as I'm home by 9:30 and "use common sense" it's okay. I haven't told my stepdad yet. He already knew that I suspected he liked me and he always referred to him as my "stalker" and always made fun of me for it. Now that it's serious he's gonna make even more fun of me.
Personally I'm really scared. I guess it's because of the way my dad abused my mom, then their divorce, then my mom's ex-boyfriend, and now my "stepdad" (they haven't actually married yet, but we live together). I've always been genuinely afraid of relationships and tried to keep myself from liking anyone. I think I still see him as a friend, the way I saw him before, and I don't think I really like like him. But you know how once you know that someone likes you you kinda start liking them back? =S So I'm not so sure anymore. And I really hope he's patient with me cuz I am just so afraid of making myself vulnerable and getting hurt that just thinking about this is making me queasy (being menstrual doesn't help Dx).
New fanart in case you haven't seen it yet:
Temari and something original
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

Uuummm yeah I disappeared for a long time again. Partly because of homework/tests/volleyball/tests/homework/studying/TESTS...and partly because I totally forgot my password. *slaps self*
Anyways. A lot has passed since I last posted. Something really sad happened, and I prefer not to have two straight posts of negativity, but my parents went on a trip for their investing classes (they do this every so often and I'm left to care for my brother for about four days) so I was put in charge of taking care of my stepdad's cat. Her name's Mocha and she's a beauty and a sweetie when she wants to be, but she's really suspicious and vicious towards strangers and never really liked me. Yes, past tense. The morning after they left (I usually only check on her in the mornings since she didn't exactly enjoy my company =[ ) I found her on the floor next to the dryer. We think she fell off of the dryer while trying to jump around and hit her head on the ground. The day I called my stepdad to tell him I cried the entire day. I wasn't particularly attached to her or anything, so I feel fine now...But the basement still feels really empty without her.
On a brighter note, volleyball season ended. I'm a bit sad since it was fun, but at least now I have way more time to do all of my schoolwork and just maybe throw in some art there too. I really, really, really hope that I'll make it to a club team. I've quit all of my other clubs to make time for it, so if I don't make tryouts it'll all be for nothing.
Also I think if I work really really hard I'll have only one B and all the rest As on my quarter grades. That's actually what I've been keeping up most of the school year so far, but I just totally screwed myself over in three history tests in a row. Hopefully next Thursday I'll get an A on the test if I study really hard this time. =3 My worst class is math. It's AP Calc and umm yyyeah I used to get 100% on all of my math tests and get math SO WELL...and then calc happened. X__X It's a high B though, so I hope I can bump it up to an A by the end of the semester. =3 I've been struggling a lot with school this year since all but one of my classes are college-level courses.
And I hate my AP/IB art teacher. *cough*
=DD

PS - Oh yeah. New theme. =D The art is by Buganale of DeviantArt. Her work is dazzling. *0*
Thank you, Mocha, for being a part of my family, however short the years we knew each other:
GUUUUHHHH.
Angsty lengthy brooding post ahead. Sorry, just have to gush this out before I burst and actually yell at someone.
Okay. So this morning I was gonna go volunteer at a little event held every first Saturday of the month for autistic kids, and I was really looking forward to it. But apparently someone had lowered the volume on my alarm clock to near-zero, so I didn't wake up on time. Neither one of my parents bothered to wake me up - and they were supposed to give me the ride there. WTF? So I felt REALLY terrible for saying I would show up, then didn't. Plus the event coordinator was short-staffed today too.
And then the accumulation of two weeks' worth of three people's laundry (my stepdad, my mom, then my BROTHER who for some stupid reason changes like three times a day and dumps EVERYTHING into the laundry) gets dumped on ME, courtesy of my darling mother. *slaps self* So after waking up late, freaking out and getting pissed off over not getting to go, feeling terrible for letting the coordinator (and myself) down, I waste three effing hours of my life folding other people's clothes.
And to top that off, I have about five hours of homework to complete today, another five hours tomorrow, plus commishes and stuff to do. Plus I have to bathe and groom my dog, and he hasn't gotten brushed in like three weeks and even after ONE week it takes like an hour just for brushing him cuz he sheds SO MUCH and GAH!!! *pulls out her hair*
School isn't going any better. I'm in the full IB program, which is kinda like having all AP classes. I've been up to my neck in homework and staying up till 2:30 to 3:00 in the morning finishing it after volleyball practice, or worse, games. Practices are two hours every weekday we don't have a game. For games, we have to be there at about 4:00 usually and don't get back home till after 9:00, since we have to watch/cheer for the varsity team. And what really pisses me off is that there has to be something wrong with me because everyone else is handling the workload from IB so much better than I am, even if they are playing a sport.
Even IB art is a bitch. I HATE that class. At first the teacher said that we had to write/sketch/draw up THIRTY pages EACH WEEK in our "IWBs" (investigation workbooks). So that's like...fifty hours of writing about our "inspirations" and "experimenting" with different medias/techniques and writing "notes" on them - notes that end up having to be huge, drawn-out, repetitive sentences in order to fill up those pages. Thank GOD she lowered it to 15 pages once she figured out that no one could do thirty pages in the first week-and-a-half of school. It's still a lot of work though. And it's not even art. It's just repetitive writing.
And all this stress is growing and growing, so I've been eating a lot more even when I'm not hungry, so I've put on a little weight, and that's not helping at all with my stress problems. Then there's piano and then I need to figure something out for these SAT classes my mom's making me take then signing up for the ACT and SAT then stressing over whether or not I'm gonna be able to make it onto club volleyball in November (probably not; I've tried twice before and failed both times...plus I hardly get any playing time at all on our school JV team since I suck) - which I HAVE to make because I've given up like all clubs in order to make time to do it...Then I also want to run for ASB president for next year, which is a loonnngg ways away but I still freak out over it because like NO ONE knows me, so it'll be extremely hard to get it.
Hence my inactivity recently. Soooo...sorry.
On the bright side, Spanish and Business Law are super easy and I rarely get any homework from those classes, the classes are hard so I'm actually enjoying myself and learning stuff, and I just made $80 off of babysitting my brother for four days while my parents were out of town. And I went to the football game last Friday...even if we got slaughtered.
*gives you a cookie for reading this much*
*gets back to history notes*
*gets yelled at my her stepdad for going on the Internet and not doing homework*

Yaaayyy today's my 17th birthday! It started kinda badly but it got a little better in the end. First of all I had a birthday party YESTERDAY, on Sunday, which was really fun and all even though hardly any people could come. I got to see some old friends who I hadn't seen in years and years and years though, and I've known them since preschool!!
But yeah. This past weekend was SOOOO busy. Our school's JV volleyball team had a team sleepover on Friday night, then Saturday morning I had to go back home, do my homework (I AM UP TO MY NECK TILL 3AM EVERY NIGHT WITH THIS CRAP), take my dog to the vet for is annual checkup, come back home, take a shower, get ready to leave, then go to the awards ceremony for a scholarship I won. Then Sunday was the party. Phew!
But anyways. Back to today. I was almost late to school, I couldn't find my left contact, I couldn't open my locker, I was getting very irritated, but other than that the morning was fine. XD The day went by well, but the best part was really today at our VB game.
Soooo...We kinda did pretty terribly, WAAYYYY worse than we KNOW we can be....like it was the WORST game of the entire season. And coach hates me and didn't even let me play for more than 6 points even though I didn't do anything wrong. BUT it's also the birthday of our coach, and the entire team celebrated both of our birthdays and I got a birthday princess crown (lol), lots of cupcakes and muffins and plus I brought cookies for everyone and ate a TON myself.
Sssoooo that's my birthday. =]
