I did it! I finished my first AMV (anime music video)! I've been wanting to do it for an uber-long time, and now it is done. ^_^ It features the Marmalade Boy characters Meiko and Namura-sensei to the tune of "Don't Stand So Close To Me" by the Police. yay, props for me!

...you want to heat up water to make tea and you put the cup in the microwave... and forget to fill it with water first. Christina was sitting at her computer and was like, "is something burning?" And I was like, "I don't smell anything...," and then suddenly thought to myself.. wait... did I put water in that cup??? no WAY.... So I opened the microwave and the smell of melting plastic violated my nostrils. No, my cup didn't melt, but I think it kinda freaked out when I was microwaving it without any contents! lol Needless to say, my roommate and I both got a nice little chuckle out of it. And now I go to watch some Samurai 7 and take some medicine with a nice cup of green tea (with water, too!! ^_^).

As I sat on a bench, pondering and delighting in the silent night, these words (or rather, lyrics) came to mind:
"Que sera sera,
Whatever will be will be,
The future's not ours to see,
Que sera sera."
Cheesy, happy tune aside, these words hold a great deal of truth - truth that I've needed to hear lately. The future really isn't ours to see. It's God's. So I tossed up a prayer for my future as it would be in God's will.... and I am feeling much better. As always, I thank you, God, for your blessed comfort.

One more day and *POOF* weekend!
| Current mood: |  busy |
| Current music: | The Chauffeur, by Duran Duran |
Let's see... what have I done tonight? I (FINALLY) watched Dead Poet's Society while cleaning up my room for strict room and doing some laundry load sorting. And it made me cry, lol. As usual, right? Anyway, now I must go finish up a paper for Wilhoit about nudity as is pertains to Bryan College and, more particularly, our Fine Arts class. Ugh. I hate having to explain my position on these things - I never can quite express the things that I just... know and believe for myself. But it looks like I'll have to bite the bullet. And once I'm done with that, I have to study for a test in Western Civ tomorrow.. yay...
Anyway, I'm looking forward to Justin being back at Bryan. I'll have someone else with whom I can share and plot my evil intentions once Peter has left me... *tear* I have many more (worse/more violent/funnier) examples but... the following should proof enough:
Justin (10:02:35 PM): are their any illuminati left?
Me (10:02:55 PM): I dunno... if they are, they're not on my hall
Me (10:03:03 PM): *thanks God*
Justin (10:03:04 PM): good work
Me (10:03:09 PM): ^_^ I do my best
LoL, yessssss. This is going to rock.
Last night was good.

I walked in the rain, lightning revealing my dark, cloaked form in the shadows... and then I danced around in time with the thunder, ensuring that no dry spot would be left on my body.
Even so, tonight was better - by very little, but nonetheless better. Butts getting sprayed by cleaning solution. People getting "thumb kissed." Constant battles between a monk and a pervert. A Christmas banquet date who does know my name (first AND last, whoa! I think he cheated). Scalp-rubbing and consequent molting... o.O. X-Men with friends at the Fendrich house. People, it just doesn't get much better than that.

I'm kinda bummed today.
| Current mood: |  bummed |
| Current music: | Fade Into You, by Mazzy Starr |
I just found out, as some of you already know from my protected entry, that my Christmas banquet date doesn't remember my name. I was already a little bummed because my math test was this morning, and I don't think I did well on it at all... plus I managed to sleep through both my alarm clock and my cell phone alarm this morning, so I now have only one skip left in Western Civ. GARN. And the test is on Friday, so I definitely shouldn't have missed today.
And then this came up. I mentioned briefly on the protected entry my plan to wear a name tag to the banquet so he'll have a "cheat sheet." And unless I start hearing some "Sherry"'s from that boy, I mean to go through with it. Okay, maybe not, but it is a pretty funny idea, you have to admit. Or maybe you don't. Ya know what, never mind.

After the guys left to take the trash down and stuff, I went to the bathroom, gathered up my stuff, and headed out. When I got outside, I started walking slowly, meandering as I watched the rays of light coming through the trees because of the fog... it was pretty flippin sweet. I got to the fork in the sidewalk and decided to walk toward Huston cuz I wasn't ready to go inside and continue paper-writing *gag*. Anyway, I was listening to this one mad crazy depressing piano song off of the Texhnolyze soundtrack, so it wasn't very loud or substantial in its... covering... of my hearing? Yeah. Anyway. A few feet up the path, I heard funky steps - like, definitely not someone just walking by. Someone was following me. So I turned around, and Jason was kind of hunched over walking behind me and he was all like "ah man, dang it!" and started laughing. It was pretty funny, but I can't help but wonder what he planned on doing if I hadn't ever turned around... o.O he might have followed me forever if I had been listening to my usual I-can't-hear-you-guys-cuz-my-headphones-a
Oh, but I tell you what. There is nothing quite so nice as someone recognizing your semi-obscure away message, and there is nothing quite so amusing as reading their response as they play along!
(09:50:53) Justin: i promise, things will be better for you one day
(09:50:53) Me
So I'm making another list of "Things I've Learned This Week," and my first lessons shalt be these:
(1) Guys wearing aprons are hot. I'm sorry, they just are.
(2) Homework never ends. I don't care how many assignments you manage to complete because you sacrifice an entire week of sleep - there will ALWAYS be more to do. Maybe not now, maybe not tomorrow, but SOON.
(3) Contrary to the belief of the Rolling Stones, time is NOT on my side. Seriously, I'm losing the majority of my closest, dearest friends at the end of this school year, and nothing can make the day come any more slowly. If I don't think about it, I have fun, so time flies and BOOM! They're gone. If I do think about it, I get depressed and can't enjoy my last days with these people, and before I know it, BOOM! They're gone. Stupid, stupid Time. You need a pause button, buddy.
To be continued... (ooh, methinks I've been watching way too much Bleach.)

Yesterday was pretty good overall... My presentation in Fine Arts went well, I think - I wouldn't have thought so except that two different people came up at different times and complimented me on how well I did. Hmm... here's hoping Wilhoit thought so too! Hey, he liked my Vienna Fingers (I gave the class those cuz I did my presentation on Beethoven's Vienna, mwahaha).... but yeah. Open dorm turned out to be mostly okay.... Pretty much ALL okay, really, except for the fact that I felt really bad about not watching Dead Poets' Society with Jason ;_;. Although.. I have a sneaking suspicion he hadn't planned on staying and watching it (maybe because he couldn't find anyone that had it) cuz, even though he chose not to come into Katie and Laura's room and watch a movie with us (which I would understand), he definitely ran off and I had to chase him to catch him before he got all the way down the stairwell in order to ask him something! Yeesh! I hope I'm right about my suspicion, cuz otherwise I feel REALLY bad.... I even had a nightmare about it, lol.
Anyway, a bunch of us piled into Katie and Laura's room to watch Donnie Darko, which I had been dying to see for a long long time, and I loved it! I need to watch it again, and I've decided it is one of those movies you canNOT watch just once - it's much to complex/layered for that. After the movie, most of us + a few more went down to Peter's house to watch Kingdom of Heaven, even though most of the time I was sitting in the kitchen talking to Drew. ^_^ Oh, and as a side note..... Eric burned my hair!!! See if I visit him again!!! I locked myself in the bathroom and cried, lol.
Awww...

Me and my big mouth. DANG it.

After trying so hard to get my friends to sign up for archery so I wouldn't be alone (and worrying myself to death because they all kept saying they couldn't fit it in, "sorry"), NOW the class is full, and I'm on a Bob-forsaken WAITING LIST!!!!! I know this will probably be my only chance to take it, so I've been crying all the way back from Dr. Legg's office. I felt bad cuz my roomie was about to take a nap but got out of bed to hug me because she heard me... ;_; Dang it! I was doing good until I called Peter, and then I lost it and haven't stopped crying since. Worst part is, I can't do a thing about it.

No witty titles come to mind...
| Current mood: |  worried |
| Current music: | Winter, by Bella Morte |
This past Saturday and Sunday rocked, pretty much a LOT. Yeah. Saturday was spent doing mostly nothing until open dorm, at which time I went with several other people down to the Woodlee South lounge and watched Zoolander and Bewitched - both of which I've seen and loved, so yaaay for that! Then a bunch of us went to Buffalo Wild Wings for practically the rest of the night (before curfew at 2 AM anyway...). Hmm, let's see if I can remember everybody.. I'll start with the car I was in: Caddy (driving), David (Gehring), Lawrence, and Chuck... and then in Tyler's car was him, Michelle, Luke, Zack, and Megan... Hopefully I'm not forgetting anyone, but yeah. FUN!
Sunday was mostly good, and the only reason it was even that good was all thanks to Mitch, Ben, and Jo! They took me with them to Pocket that afternoon, and we walked the trail for a while, stopped to eat an MRE, then returned. When I got back, the dinner options scared me so bad that I grabbed Michelle and we ordered a pizza. Very nice. ^_^
Okay, here's the downside of today's entry (as a forewarning)... Actually, you know what? I'm just going to leave it at the fact that girls can't always be trusted, and I'm really worried about something going on in my life that kind of has to do with that. I'll leave the rest for a protected entry... maybe. Well, maybe not, since nobody reads this except for Michelle anymore, and she already knows what's going on. Ah well. I need sleep. *in a very Kip-esque voice* Peace, out.
P.S. Back on the bright side, Peter comes (or came) home tonight! Yay! I missed him. ;_;

What a day/night!

Let's see.... first notable good thingy to happen today... I dunno..... we'll just go down the list of stuff I did!
- Stuff I did:
- Western Civ was good, cuz I got to talk a little more to Ryan than I usually do...
- Math was math. Geh.
- Chapel was good, cuz it was a card chapel and therefore I sat next to someone not often within seating-buddy range - Jason. That was fun, lol.
- Skipped World Lit so I could work on a presentation I was supposed to give today...
- ...but then found out in Fine Arts that my presentation isn't till NEXT Friday, yaaaay! Sweet relief!
- Went to Peter's house right after Fine Arts to watch Boondock Saints.
- Peter left for Virginia (*tears*) and I started walking back up the hill after the movie and got caught by the creepy house with no front door!! LoL Actually, it so happens that Phil Schroeder is moving into the house, and so he and Ben were watching me out of the window and calling my name... o.O... riiiight.... Anyway, so I went inside and spent some time with them, helping Phil, Ben, and Jo move him in, which included a trip to the house he was temporarily in and where all his stuff was. We got back around 6:15, just in time for dinner-that's-actually-breakfast... -_- (which I'm still not thrilled to pieces about).
- Roomie, Michelle, and I went to the fine arts concert tonight and sat on the row with Woodlee South (^_^). I sat next to my good buddy MATT, and apparently I was sitting on his invisible friend.. oh well! lol
- After the concert, I got some wicked good pictures of... well.. Jason in his tux cuz nobody else stuck around for picture time, and of course the "photo shoot" actually consisted of Jason, Luke, Michelle, and myself being mostly dumb, lol.
- A whole bunch of people came to my room (if briefly) for open dorm tonight! It started out as Christina and Ben, with Ben fixing her compy, and Michelle and me... and eventually Jason came around, and then other people began to show up! We ate caramel apples, watched silly videos on my compy, and talked about various random things... including an in-depth interpretation of my poster of the painting "Faith" by Ruth Thompson.
- And then Beth-Beth took me to Walmart ^_^ -- yaaaay Beth-Beth! And now I'm here. And I'm about to go to bed, so... yeah.. the end. lol.
And a little present to end my entry (a few quizzes I took at random):
Gustav Mahler definitely lived by the statement, "Music is life. The rest is just details." Mahler was a composer in the summer and a conductor during the main orchestra season, and he was so obsessed with musical perfection that he earned a reputation as a harsh and terrifying tyrant. In fact, he was a tiny little fellow who tied so much of his vulnerable inner self to his music that he felt completely compelled to draw the best performance out of his players. He was so very attached, in fact, that he feared that elements of his own musicÑ-such as three hammer blows in the 6th Symphony, or the concept of sure death after writing a 9th--would kill him. He tried to steer around these things through editing and creative numbering, but that gesture only further proves how close Mahler was to his own music. A few key works: Kindertotenleider, Das Lied von der Erde, Symphony No. 6, Symphony No. 9
