So the dance was canceled last-minute due to "lack of interest." Big surprise. Our dances suck. Frankly I was rather relieved...G-man (thanks, EternalParadise for the name idea for the German guy!) later asked me over IM if I wanted to do something else that day instead of the dance but I told him that I had too much HW over the weekend (which is true). Plus I'm doing like 8 hours of community service this weekend too.
AAANNYYYWAAAAYYYYS. Today was really scary. I walked home from school since my stepdad couldn't pick me up, so I was the only one home. I was practicing piano when I heard my dog start barking and wimpering incessantly. He wouldn't stop so I finally stopped playing and turned around to see what was wrong...And I saw footprints and puddles of blood all over the floor.
GOD he almost gave me a heart attack. I couldn't find where he was bleeding from exactly right then so I took him to the bathroom and started to clean him up. He had torn one of his nails out half-way and it was screwed 90 degrees to one side, and blood was pouring out of his "finger." FREAKING SCARED ME TO DEATH. I was trying to clean him up and called the vet...We had to take him in, and they had to basically pull the hanging part off (pulling the entire nail out would hurt WAY too much, obviously) and then bandage him and stuff. He's okay now and doesn't feel any pain, thank goodness. It was so scary though, seeing all that blood just EVERYWHERE. TT_TT
But guess what? Among the examination, the actual pulling off of the nail, the antibiotics to make sure he doesn't get infected, the nail trimming, and the bandages...The bandages were the most expensive thing. And the medicine was the least expensive. Yeah. WTF? Why does pets' healthcare need to be so ridiculously expensive also? Dx

PS - new fanart again! I have a ton of drawings all scanned in and awaiting uploadocracy. XD
So, the dance is this Friday. Looks like I'm gonna go with the German dude. I talked to one of my best friends, and she said that he might be hinting that he might like me but is waiting for me to respond to that, so as long as I continue to treat him like a friend he'll do the same for me. I've been dropping subtle hints all week like, "...my OTHER friend did..." so that he understands. Hopefully he's not as dense as a lot of guys are. (I feel bad for my friend Kiki. She has to deal with two imbeciles who won't take "no" for an answer. D=) lol But luckily several of my other friends are going to the dance, so hopefully we'll be able to hang out with them and be in a group instead of just us two. >_<
Anyways. Enough about him. I'm sick of being paranoid about it.
ONE MORE CLASS OF DRIVER'S ED. LEFT!!!!! YYYYYEEESSSS finally! URGH I'm just SO sick of having to stay after school all the time just to hear someone tell me that I need to stay in my lane or that I have to follow the signs. Well yeah, I know THAT. -_- Driver's ed. has taken up SO much of my time. I'm always rushing on Mondays because it's school-then-driversed-then-home-then-dinner-then-pianolesson-then-home-then-sleep. Then on Wednesdays we have half days, so I always look forward to those, but with driver's ed. I have to come back to school. T_T
Oh yes. And yesterday (Tuesday) was Earth Day! =DDD Did you guys do anything? Even the smallest thing like switching off one unused light is something! I was part of a huge restoration project on Saturday (it was basically an early Earth Day celebration since Tuesdays don't always work out for everyone =p). In total there were 450 people, and in my group only about 20. But the 20 of us cleared 15,750 square feet of invasive English Ivy! W00t!

PS - I have new fanart! Please go take a look!
Uuuuwwwaaaa.
I hate boys.
So. Our school's holding a dance with a neighboring school next Friday. Guess who asked me to go with him?
Yep. The German dude (I seriously need to think of an online name for him...XD). So I guess that means that he's finally "made the 1st move." I already told him yes, but pretty much only because it was in the moment, and my friend said that I should go with him because she wanted to see pictures. XD But the thing is the more I think about it, the less I want to go out with him. For starters he's just going to go back to Germany in two months, and we'll probably never see each other again. I've also heard stories about exchange students who have GFs/BFs in their home country but then come to the foreign country and cheat on them. He doesn't seem like the kind of person who'd do that, but apparently he already had a girlfriend HERE in the US at the beginning of the year but then they broke up...And you never really know. Secondly he has a really reserved and serious personality. I like to go crazy and be totally silly and not have to hold back around my friends, and of course I'd like my boyfriend to allow me to do that too. But I feel like with him I'm always restraining myself. It's hard to talk to him because I have to think of all the conversation topics myself. He's getting better at opening up, but not by much.
Plus he asked me to go to the dance with him OVER IM. Seriously. It's not like it's a big dance or anything, but ask me in person at least.
I just don't like him in general. I see him as a friend, but not even a close one.
He's a nice person. He's not judgemental, which is something I really can't stand even though I tend to be like that myself sometimes. Plus I've never had a boyfriend before, and I'm 16 so that's pretty pathetic. XD Plus I'd feel really bad just saying no to him...I originally tried to be friends with him because I felt bad that he didn't really have any, and also because I felt like maybe I could be his friend since I had studied abroad also. So I don't want to just cut things off totally from him and leave him with no friends, but I don't want to just stop the relationship stuff and leave things really awkward either.
Oh GOD. I was the one who started all this, wasn't I?
They did change the date of the dance, so I could say that I can't make it anymore. I do have an excuse.
What do I do??
Luvs and hugs (and cookies for reading this much),

I sound like a Pokemon. XD
Anyways. Hung out with the German guy again on Tuesday. XD It's nice cuz he seems to be opening up to me more now, so we're generally enjoying each other's company more. =) And we took silly photos with Photobooth at the Mac store (oh how I love that program =D ), and I took the liberty of posting them on Facebook. >D Then one of my friends who is convinced that he likes me no matter what I tell her posted a comment on one of the photos saying, "You two are just too cute!" only in Chinese so that he couldn't understand it. Then over IM he asks me what it meant. Dx lol I just told him that I couldn't tell him...Should've just lied and said that it meant "nice picture" or something. XD
Anywho. I was SO looking forward to life drawing on Wednesday night since I have break this week and usually have to miss it for driver's ed. (GOD I can't wait till I finish that! URGH it's taking up ALL of my time, and most of it's just common sense anyways! I mean, follow the signs? Well yeah, I know THAT!). But then it got canceled this time because the person who organizes it had to go to the vet for a puppy emergency. =(
Anyways. If you didn't catch my last post, please see my new artwork. Thank you!
A (nice) picture of us...
The coolest thing happened to me yesterday.
It was my dog's 3rd birthday (everyone say, "Happy birthday!" to Copper! ) so I decided to take him out for a walk, since he really loves getting to go outside the house and exploring new places. So I took him on a trail near my house where I had never been before. I was wearing my school hoodie and some shorts since I was also planning on doing some running, and I put my cell phone, iPod, and keys in the kangaroo pocket...So we run, I train him to heel, we're almost back home...I reach into my pocket for my keys, and they aren't there. I thought it must have fallen out of my pocket while I was running. And we had gone like two miles along forest trails and neighborhood roads. So I was freaking out and finally decided to retrace my steps...After a while I came across a tall stick planted right in the middle of the trail. I thought I had gone the wrong way since it was my first time on the trail and didn't remember the stick. But after looking closely at it, I realized that my keys were hooked onto the twig! It made me really happy to know that there are good people out there who help others who lose their keys. XD XD
