So, here's my World Page designed especially for me. For those of you who aren't familiar with me, I'm an aspiring Manga-ka (at least in my own mind) and I enjoy many things in life, including, but not limited to: sword-fights, squirrels, lingual jokes, shiny rocks, and strawberries.
Also, I was born in Texas, but raised in Montana. No, I don't ride horses, or boil water over a campfire to heat it, and as a matter of fact, I hate Westerns! I don't have an accent (y'all) and I don't wear a ten-gallon cowboy hat with chaps. I'm a normal, everyday average citizen of America... who wishes he were somewhere else. XD I'm also agnostic, so don't come preaching to me about anything, okies? And, I won't throw you down a well, okies? Yay! Friends!!!

Well, hope you enjoy your visit and sayonara for now! ^_^
Went up to my grandparent's on Thanksgiving. Roads were hell... still are. But, we got there safely. :3 The food was great. I got to try some white wine... but, I didn't really care for it. It kind of had that same taste I have when I vomit... y'know? That bitter aftertaste? Blegh, I couldn't drink it. I guess I'll stick to fruity drinks like wine coolers and hard lemonades. XD My tastes in alcohol are so girly, according to the b/f. Good thing he finds that attractive... >_> I wanna try whiskey next! XDDD
Stayed the night at my grandparents house. Was too freakin' hot to sleep, since my grampa has to keep it at 80 degrees F in the house to be comfortable. Oh well. I got to see how they performed their home-dialysis too. It was... interesting to say the least. :3
Lol, my gramma was bring in these two sacks to put the turkey scraps in for the birds to feed off of, and my uncle says, "Looks like you're carrying some cow balls!" And someone else says, "You idiot, cows don't have balls! Bulls do!" It made us all laugh so hard, since my grandparents are cow/bull raisers. XDDDD I guess you had to be there... <_<;
Yesterday, I FINALLY got to see my b/f. It'd been at least a week since we'd last seen one another and gotten hugs and kisses. >.< Oh, I was pining... We went and saw Harry Potter VII. I loved it! It was everything I expected from the book~! :D It's sad that they had to split it into two parts, but oh well. It just means I'll get to go again in a few months. :3
Then, we went back to his house and watched the snow and played Halo:Reach. I'm doing much better on that game. My K/D spread is much lower than it used to be, though I'm still in the negatives. XD But, at least it's single-digit negatives now. XDDD I must keep improving! >3
My parents came in picked me up around 11pm (the roads have been too harsh for me to trust myself driving on them. They're SLICK. AS. SNOT.) and then we went to wait in the K-Mart parking lot for my sister. She went to a concert where Trapt was playing in our town last night. She was WIRED when we picked her up and... rather annoying.
Anyhoo, got home around 12:10am last night. XDDD That's the latest I've been out with my family in a LONG time! XDDD The snow on the highway was AWFUL! D: We coulda DIED! DX
But, that's why we're staying home today and doing nothing. :3
Though, I wish I could see my b/f again today. >_>
Well, that's the rough overview of my weekend! Back to school tomorrow, I suppose. ^_^
Hope your guys' Turkey day was good too!
It was only a snow day for the local schools... not the University. So, since my parents were going into work anyway, I hitched a ride and went to classes. Glad I did too, I had a nice talk with my Japanese teacher about my grade.
Yeah, I utterly failed the exam. But, now I know what to do for the Final, so I'm gonna start studying for it. ^_^ Sensei was smiling when I left, so that's a good sign. I might have to stop in her office more often to get help. It would seem I'm having the same problem that about half my class is: I understand the material, I just have a hard time applying it.
Anyhoo, yeah, was in school from 9am to 5:30pm today. BUT! I finished one of the art trades (for Zero Guardian-chan) while waiting for classes to start! XD
It's officially a Snow Day here in Montana. Local schools are closed and I'm only allowed to travel the roads if it's an emergency. Even the parents are staying home.
*Sigh* This, of course, means I won't be able to go to talk to my Sensei today about my grade. TT^TT
Looks like I'm retaking JPNS 201 next year... Fuck me.
This means Thanksgiving break starts early for me, though. *half-hearted YAY*
Guess I'll start on them Art Trades today, since I'm bored as all hell.
Thought I was ready for the Japanese Exam. That was a lie I told myself. ACTUALLY, I knew the material and kanji back and front, it was the format of the exam that screwed me over. >.< I'm gonna talk to my Sensei about it tomorrow... *sigh* It's so unfair. I don't think an exam is the best way to test whether or not someone understands and can use a foreign language. I mean, half the class, along with myself, didn't even finish the test! OTL
On top of all that, it snowed here last night... and all day. And, it was HEAVY snow, and WINDY. In other words, shit weather for driving on the highway in. But, I didn't have a choice. I would've skipped classes today if I hadn't had that hellish exam! DX Uff, driving home was scary (have to drive on the highway to get to the city). It was snowPACKED and the flurries made it hard to see 100 ft ahead of you. Tail lights of cars ahead of me were disappearing as they gained distance on me.
Also, with the windchill, it's -20F. Which SUCKS. If we're out in that for 20+ minutes we risk frostbite, and it's supposed to be even WORSE tomorrow. >.<
I would LOVE to stay home tomorrow, but I have an appointment with my Japanese teacher that I really don't want to miss. I HAVE to go, because Wednesday is the start of my Thanksgiving break and I won't see the school again 'til Monday.
Speaking of which, I have some Art Trades on dA that I'll be able to start then...
I wanted to get on and do an online quiz tonight for Media Arts, but it's not on the site and my teacher hasn't replied to my email yet. >.< It's due tomorrow! @^@
I also have to have my Astronomy homework done before Wednesday night. That won't be too hard, I don't think.
Because of the weather, I told my b/f that I couldn't risk coming to his house today after school and then driving home. He didn't seem very happy to hear that, especially since I'm using my break tomorrow to see my teacher. He's all, "That's not fair! Now I won't get to see you until Friday at the earliest!"
It flatters me that he wants to see and spend time with me, but he needs to realize that I have my studies and personal family to think of too. I didn't go to his house today because I knew the weather would make my mother nervous. I can't go tomorrow, because I'm afraid I'm failing Japanese. I'm not avoiding him, I'm just sorting out my priorities. Skipping math lecture and going to his house last year screwed me over. I don't want to make that same mistake, especially with the subject I'd like to major in.
Ugh... yeah, today... I hated it... and I hope tomorrow goes by fast. *sigh*
Hey, guys, it's me again. Just thought I'd procrastinate even further on studying by posting about my day here.
Strangely, I haven't heard from the b/f all day. He hasn't been online at all. I hope he's ok, and I hope he didn't try to go to Philipsburg today. The weather is HELL! Heavy winds and snow and the temperature with the windchill is below 0! Ugh...
Let's see, went with mom and sis to the mall. While mom was looking for some new shoes, I had an insulin reaction and had to run to Fuzziwigs (a candy store) to get something sugary. But, this was a scary one. Apparently, my reaction was so severe, that my lower jaw began to fall asleep. o_O It was WEIRD and SCARY. My mom's hands fall asleep sometimes when her sugars are low, but my jaw? Yeah... and it took FOREVER to get rid of too. >.< Oh, I hated it. Then, I was so tired out just from getting my sugars back up, I didn't wanna eat lunch. All I wanted to do was come back home and take a nap.
But, the sister had other plans. She's going to some dance next weekend and wanted to go dress-shopping. Ugh. She took FOREVER and a half to get one and I really don't care for it. She looks like a skank in it. =_= Then, we HAD to go to Perkins for lunch, simply because that's what she wanted and my mom didn't know where else to go. Ick... I just wasn't hungry.
Now, I'm home and out of the cold. Though, I wish I could go back to the b/f's house and play some more online Halo:Reach Invasion. We were doing well last night~! XDDD He swept the board a few times and even though my KD Spread was in the negatives, I had the highest times for capturing objectives and carrying the core. XDDDDD Pretty much, I did good at sitting still and he did good and killing others who were coming after me. XDDD
Well, that's about it.
I finally got some earmuffs. It was a BITTER wind today, really. D: Winter's here and it hit us HARD.
Okies, I guess I'll go now, then and try to study some more or something... oh, I hate how when I REALLY wanna draw is always when I have more important obligations to fulfill. >_<
