Yeah, I know. I normally post on Friday nights. It nearly killed me to not be consistent. So where was I? Um. . . right here. I didn't post because I got caught up in messaging. Take note of those words because I doubt you'll see me type them again.
Well, today is my birthday. Pleasant surprise: I got more birthday wishes than ever, and that's not even using an adjusted scale for importance of people. Sure, that might be because of Facebook, but I don't care. It's still nice that they took out a bit of time. I got to spend the first few hours of the day at my good friend, Shelbi's, house. Next, I saw Avatar in IMAX 3D. It's probably the best movie I've seen in a while. It stood up to all of the hype. If you haven't seen it, see it. Now. In 3D. Go. Then, I had dinner at BJ's. Super yummy. ^_^ When we were all done, it was starting to get cloudy which made me happy. I like clouds, especially if they mean rain. My aunt made me my favorite pie when we all got home. That was also super yummy. ^_^ The last major thing of the day is just getting to chill. Yes, I like getting out of the house and doing things, but there is nothing like doing nothing. It's just bliss.
Now I will explain the title of this post. At Bazaar Bizarre last weekend, Shelbi and I saw $2 cupcakes with frosting swirled into the shape of poop. I couldn't stand the thought of paying $2 for a tiny poop cupcake, so I decided to make them for her birthday party. At said party Shelbi, Alisa, and I assembled the said poop cupcakes. They were awesome. I had more fun putting them together and making a mess of it than eating them. That's how things like that typically go. The party as a whole was fun and I wish Shelbi yet another belated happy birthday. :D
I'm going to watch SNL clips. I see they have something to do with Gilly. That has to be funny.
Until the next post, and as always, take care. :)

Few words

This week's Delightful Deviant is NestR because I can't believe I live in the same world that he photograhs. It's beautiful!

I'm not in the mood to rant today and I don't have any fantastic stories to share. I'm so excited that this weekend is here that I can't get my mind to focus on other things easily. I'm just going to dump a few things that made me smile this week.
My friend showed me this video. I still can't stop imagining rainbow pigeons everywhere I go. :P


Glee: Sectionals

Done. I'm too excited! It's raining and I'm going to Bazaar Bizarre with Shelbi and I'm going to see my grandparents! :D

On a side note, I need to fix how manga affects me. I keep reading things backwards. :P Also, Andrea, I hope you savored the sight of me playing a game with the family. It's not happening for a while. -_- Maybe I'll explain that in a future post. . .

Anyway, I need to get some sleep before I get up really early. Until the next post, and as always, take care. 8)

Proceed with the lights on. My brain melted.

This week's Delightful Deviant is dina-bv. I first saw those fall colors and deemed her delightful. :)

I love pens. ^_^
Clothing, I mend.
This is the end. :D

Yeah. . . I did just type that off the very top (or bottom, it would seem) of my head. I really had nothing else to say. My brain kind of melted and I thought you'd all get a kick out of it. I'm pretty sure I said most of those things on my blog. If I didn't, it's because the idea was either trashed or put into the part of my brain where Lazy lives.
Ick. That was a bit too weird. for my sanity. I need to go do other things before my brain melts again and I do something else that causes my plushies to laugh at me.
Oh dear, I'm going crazy. T_T Leaving now.

Memory: the awkward and the pleasantly ddd

After Shelbi sent me a funny video about awkward moments, a bunch of memories came back like the 80s have fashion: a ridiculous flood. I don't have an amazing memory that stuns people; I have an awkward, good memory that gets me into troubling situations. Andrea can name all the times she hasn't believed me because I remembered something trivial from AGES ago and how we've fought over who was really dreaming (for the record, she dreamt, I spoke of reality). Unfortunately, the extent of the trouble has no bounds.
At school, I have to suppress my memory so people don't think I'm a stalker. Feel free to laugh if that image seems odd. Sometimes I can't help but remember weird details that no one should remember. Also, it bugs classmates because no one likes someone who knows the answer to a question unless it's going to win them something (or they want to cheat--the biggest reason I remind myself that I don't know anything). Even then, the geek is often not accepted for their knowledge. Friends have threatened to break my wrist over remembering things I just can't help remembering. Hence, I try to avoid groups and shut up my brain when it thinks it knows something it doesn't. They don't want me to tell them about whatever article I just read, and I don't want anyone to think I'm a know-it-all. I'm really not. I don't know much of anything. I just love learning.
It's not all bad, I should probably add. Because I don't throw it all out there with a big personality, I'd like to think I have quality friendships and I know how to organize a project that helps everyone feel good about working together. My memory allows me to recall stories that some people think are entertaining. When I was leaving EAS, a friend told me that they'd miss hearing my funny home stories. Another friend recently told me that they appreciate my intelligence (and creativity and mellow, cute disposition). I'm glad because there's no point in me enjoying information if no one wants to hear it. Hold it in is useless. It's like that silly Veggietales story about the man who had all of the bananas and the man who had all of the strawberries. I can learn all I want, but it's nothing until I pass it on.
Even as I say that, more awkward situations than pleasant ones pop into my head. Like I somehow remembered the name of the guy sitting next to me in a class from roll call before we were introduced, so I kind of new his name before the appropriate time. :S Or how I can't recall most of one campmeeting. I honestly don't recall much of the year before the last one (or maybe it was the year before that? It's too late for thinking) and it gets awkward when I'm with those friends and I just don't remember. What's weirder than the things I remember is what I don't remember.
It's works out. What's the point in living if we don't live forward? A little bad reminds us that there's plenty to come and we'll just have to experience it to satisfy our hungry curiosity.The future will always pwn the past.
I've rambled enough. I'll share another of my favorite deviants and some links after I sleep off Andrea's delicious cookies.
Until the next post, and as always, take care! 8)
 p.s. I forgot to add that my right leg is definitely longer than my left. That explains my lack of balance. I'm too tired to fit this in properly. I'm sure with sleep I could come up with something mildly cohesive.

History exam: done as of Thursday 2:30 pm

This week there are two Delightful Deviants: B1nd1 and tenchmaker. B1nd1 because her characters are excellent. They're full of emotion, creativity, and awesomeness.

You don't want to know what I've been doing lately except maybe about the movies I've seen: Monsters vs. Aliens, Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, Crash, and 2012. All good. Monsters vs. Aliens is my favorite from that group. I heart B.O.B. Anyway, sharing/dumping time.









I'm making braciole on Sunday. This will be very interesting.

One of the few parts I really liked from this movie.


That's all for now. I think I'm going to pick up the guitar and attempt to use the pick again. Until the next post, and as always, take care. 8)

Arrogance

I shall start by saying there is no way I'm attempting this. I think I've demonstrated my ability to fail enough times. Moving on. . .
Right. I promised a couple posts. Well, there is no picture because I just finished and banished it to the room. What am I speaking of? A scarf. A manly blue scarf. That's it.
There really isn't anything wrong with it. It just symbolizes the demise of a friendship. You see, I take arrogance and rudeness about as well as a 2-year-old takes brussel sprouts (unless you're Andrea in whose case* it's onions).
It started with the "just-right" friend. Unfortunately, I'm a naive sucker for things that are better than they seem when my brain decides it's time to watch me squirm. (Still training the brain to be kind to the body that resists the urge to bash the brain into every brick wall.)
The breakdown of the friendship took a while. At first, the friendship seemed peachy and upright (new goal: make a James and the Giant Peach reference every week. Kidding.). As I became acquainted with the true magnitude of the arrogance, the ship molded. Well, that's only from my point of view. Being a friendship between 2 people, there is another half to the story. I do not know it being one half (end of weirdly used analogy, I promise), but I've witnessed it and discussed it enough to guess a good deal of it.
Arrogance breeds a certain kind of ignorance that is almost laughable. No normal person would tell me "you may know all the big words, but I act it out" when speaking of (social) psychology. You need only know one thing to know what's wrong with that sentence. Psychology is the study of the mind. Ergo, people with brains act those things out. I don't mean to call the friend stupid, but really? *head-on-brick-wall*
I wouldn't mind it so much except I can't even say "hi" without being insulted "jokingly" or talked to like a child. I cannot be considered a child just because I have neither a driver's license nor a job. Sure, my social skills are not exactly graceful, but I'm not completely lost. Obviously, I can and do socialize with people frequently. These are only a couple of the things I've had to put up with.
Back to the scarf, I was asked to make it. I'm the kind of person who generally knits things for people because I like to. Friends and family are likely to get something at some point in time. I was a little annoyed when I was not only asked if I was going to be making the friend something, but asked again if I would make something specific. No biggie. I took a mental note. Just a couple weeks later, I was asked if and when I'd be done.
-_-
I didn't even have the yarn. Months and repeated assurances that i would do it later and I'm done. The manly blue scarf is wide, medium-length, and not necessarily soft. Manly blue yarn is hard to come by in Placer County let alone soft manly blue yarn. The scarf is perfectly fine, but I did not enjoy making it. I felt terrible about the yarn and how I really didn't want to make it for a friend. Knitting is a hobby for me. I make friends because I like them. This situation is not an example of either. I'd like to burn my scarf and the ship, but I won't. In the past year, I've rid myself of a friend and plowed my nerves through a nonfriend. I think I can figure out how to handle one arrogant person and give them a scarf with a smile.
We'll see. . .
~~~
I'll share 1 thing before I sign off. I have super fun schoolwork to do. :D

I love Neliel. I'm finally at the place in the manga where Nel Tu comes in, so I've been cracking up. I like her better in the anime because of that voice and little parts that are added in, but the manga is still awesome. Gotta love a still shot of Nel Tu flying Supa Speed at Ichigo. ^_^


Until the next post, and as always, take care. 8)

My plans and an ass-kicking peanut (Tom Lehrer mention, too)

 This week's Delightful Deviant is kickass-peanut because she kicks ass. She picked her name well.

Plans. Ah. They're fun to make even though they often break. As of this week, my plans are as follows:

1. Knit and crochet like crazy. Some of the items include a scarf (will post about this one soon), a hat, a yoga mat bag, and plushies.
2. Make lamingtons. Scott and I really want to make some, so we're planning to in the near future. Will tell about it if we do it. We just wish Natalie would make them.
3. Pass U.S. History with a B. I've given up on optimistically thinking I can pull off an A in that class. I just don't like it enough to work for it. I'll keep trying, but I won't mourn over a B if that's what I end up with.
I can't believe I just said that. I never ever aim for a B.
T_T Moving on. . .
4. In the future, get a degree in either neuroscience or psychology (scratched out psychiatry and put neuroscience in its place). I have decided I'll just have to be a doctor in something that doesn't require so much contact with people. I won't be stubborn just because I'm sick of being told that I'm not socially eloquent enough to pull it off. I can prove that I'm not completely inept in social situations in some other way(s).
5. Learn how to play the guitar, viola, and cello. Also, improve my piano-playing skills.
6. Successfully teach my study buddy how to understand algebra. I just can't let him fail. I can't watch someone try so hard and still not get it. There must be a way to help. I'm hoping to find it.
7. Prove to Scott that "bazinga" pwns "bazing" as a word to express pwnage. I have a feeling that I'm going to end up the one who is pwned, but I'd still like to try.
8. Read my giant stack of books. I'll dedicate a post to this one. Yes, it's that long. And yes, I do have enough info to make an interesting post about it. At least, I hope so.
9. Watch all of the anime, movies, and tv shows, read all of the books and manga, and own all of the forementioned items on my lists. Yes, that is supposed to be plural. I love my lists and other methods of organization. :D
10. Make several items from shows (mostly anime) I like. Howl's coat being near the top of my list in original and alternate colors.
11. Relocate the subbed version of Howl's Moving Castle that I lost. T_T (I don't know how it got deleted, but I want it back. >.<)
12. Figure out how to make a ROM work. It'd be even better if I could get my old system back, but I need something until I can get a new one. I miss playing Sonic, Pokemon, Crazy Taxi and.  . . *sniff* Pen-pen. I can't even continue this list. It's too sad. Oh, dear, I need a life.
13. Fight world suck with united awesomeness. I want to do my part to join the other nerdfighters in this cause. If you don't agree, please just pet a kitten and try not to agree with getting rid of world suck.
14. Learn how to write and speak several foreign languages. French, Spanish, German, Japanese, and Loxian are just a few. This is one area in which I need optimism.
15. Stop bugging people with the things I've learned. I'm pretty sure that's gone from somewhat cute and interesting to oh-em-gee-this-girl-won't-shut-up-and-she's-such-an-uncool-dork. I don't think I'm all the way there yet, but if I mention math outside of class again, I'm going to get slapped. :P

I'm ending here because I think you get the point (though I could go on and on because I like planning and organizing those plans). I'm pretty ambitious. I need more lifetimes. :P

Done blathering on and on about lists and the junk in my head. It's time for other stuff on the internet.

I can't find Tom Lehrer singing this, but this is my favorite lipsync.


That tune came from this song. It gets stuck in my head. :P

Nature day and a thought about Christmas :S

Yesterday my family went out to the Waffle Barn, a yummy restaurant, and explored nature. My aunt and I did not come home with a Quaking Aspen, but we will have one in the backyard someday. Anyway, here are some unedited pictures. Enjoy. :)

As much fun as I had, I wish I had tried to sneak into the Junior/Senior retreat. Instead, my family failed to find Bigfoot, decided against going into the green hot spring (well called), and almost got lost had an adventure exploring the forest. The only wildlife we saw was a bright orange and black beetle. No deer, squirrels, chipmunks, mountain lions, bears, birds-- rien, nada, nothing-- in the middle-of-nowhere forest. -_-

Oh, I haven't mentioned anything about my knitting lately. I took a bunch of stuff up to Eleven B a week or 2 ago, made a couple cute hats for myself, and finished a scarf. I'm now working on a laptop case for Scott. I think the next items on the list are a scarf for Isaac (who is leaving for Texas in a little over a month), a scarf for a classmate's fiancee, a yoga mat case, and whatever I feel like making for Eleven b. I'll get the list straightened out soon. Christmas is in exactly 2 months, after all. :S (Christmas is one of those holidays that cause the thank-you card Nazis in my family tree to fall from above and deliver their messages of "YOU FAILED!". Naturally, I'm contemplating how I approach the holiday well in advance. Nazis like octopi, right?)

Until the next post, and as always, take care. 8)

A music meme and other musical things

This week's Delightful Deviant is  iNeedChemicalX because her photography is sweet, soft, and nostalgic. It's like seeing someone's memories in a frame.

I think it's been established that this blog is on shuffle, or rather, the blogger is on shuffle. Speaking of shuffle, I've never gotten around to this meme, but it's one I feel like doing at the moment. I had a similar one in my e-mail, but it went poof the moment I felt like doing it. I just found this one on a Google search. The really interesting stuff will follow. I'm just doing it for fun (which is why foreign titles and embarrassing songs will be included).

Well, that was fun for me. I did not rig that first one, by the way. That's a song from James and the Giant Peach, a movie I happen to love and own a couple songs from. Moving on, I'm learning how to play the guitar and I'm hoping to get a viola in a few months, but I have one tiny problem: I don't listen to much guitar music. I like the piano and cello the best followed by the viola, violin, and hang drum. I hate the quartz singing crystal bowl. I'm getting a headache just thinking about that instrument. As far as the guitar goes, I'm indifferent. I'm only learning it to prepare my fingers for playing the viola (callouses) and because Andrea has a guitar that she's not using. I've learned the E major, A major, B7, and D major chords, I think. I'm not 100% sure of the "major" part, but I'm just trying to figure out how to enjoy this instrument at the moment. I'll work on getting the chord names down later.

 Well, I think this song is going to be my goal. It'll take a while to get there, but I think I'd like to play it. I prefer it on the piano, but there's no harm in trying to play it on the guitar.


This one is nice, too.


I think learning this one in the future is a requirement.
I only like this song because of the movie Whisper to the Heart.

That's all I can come up with at the moment. I need to explore my collection to see what I can start with and work up to. It'd be sad to learn an instrument that I don't enjoy.

Until the next post, and as always, take care. 8)

Excuse for Failure

Apparently I fail absolutely when I fail. There is no fuzzy gray line. In this case, I'm speaking of my "new plan" (currently scheming a new new plan because I don't want to fail). With my failure, I have a valid excuse to explain. I'll just start with Monday. . .

Monday
10:40 AM- Strange feeling during yoga. Nostrils not cooperating with breathing that requires the plugging of one nostril at a time. Big breath through mouth and shrug.

3:30 PM- Starting to feel sick because I'm in the doctor's office. I have a single task on my mind: explain that I want acne medication. Nada mas. Also, I nearly have a panic attack at the mere mention of a shot. To my relief, I was only signed up for a mist and that is postponed.

Sometime in the evening- Someone says something on Myspace that turns me into an angry, thesaurus-wielding firecracker. I resist the urge to introduce four-letter words into my vocabulary in spite of Scott's assurance that they will work and the person does deserve them. I fail to get my point across and the ignorance and arrogance continue. I *might* dedicate a post to the issue.

I hate Monday grumble session, anyone? -_-

Tuesday
Way-too-early-AM- Dear Lord, what is this feeling in my head? There is stuff blocking my ability to breathe. I am going to DIE. Ugh. *goes back to sleep probably because I lost consciousness due to a lack of oxygen*
6:20 AM- First pill for acne medication taken. Throat and nose malfunction simultaneously. Someone please tell me that the storm I hear caused the school to close for the next week so I can go back to sleep and not entertain the thought of suicide.
7:00 AMish- Nausea decides to join the weird cold symptoms. Aunt Tracy notices and orders me to take some medicine that will help counteract the effects of the other one and with my cold. I thank her, but I really want to thank her later when I don't feel anything. Numbness is an amazing feeling.
Lesson learned: I lack the ability to take the acne medicine on an empty stomach in the morning before breakfast.
8:30 AM- Amazing feeling! After cola syrup and Advil: Cold&Sinus, I can conquer the world! Plus, it's all stormy. YAY!!!
12:45 PM- Medication starts wearing off. Head threatens to abandon ship. U.S. History canceled. Woot. Library filled with people setting up an art exhibit. Too. Much. Noise. Relocation to lounge. I stare out the window with a couple other people in awe of the terrifyingly powerful yet beautiful storm. Ah. *sniff*
10:20 PM- Astronomy killed my head. A dose of Nyquil and I am out like a candle in the ocean.

I hate Tuesday grumble session, anyone? >.<

Wednesday
6:20 AM- Head not exploding upon consciousness. Improvement.
11:50 AM- Yoga: survived. Somehow. Cold seems to have improved significantly. Advil and Nyquil, I love you. *glomp*
11:51 AM- Panic sets in. U.S. History exam TOMORROW. :S Tuesday morning was less painful than this realization.

Males, I know why you have a nothing box. I envy your ability to use one. Upon realization of my inability to have one, I figure it out and feel an amazing feeling for about 2 seconds. My reality box is bigger than my nothing box. T_T

Thursday
2:25 PM- Exam: survived. It's Thursday? Oh. Meeting soon. Brain= relived and fried.
4:10 PM- Counseling appointment leaves me feeling less confused. I am filled with a desire to be Dr. Alyssa N. James (psychiatrist). The family does not hear the end of it starting when Scott picks me up. Also, I read in The Theory of Everything by Stephen Hawking that Murphy's law is proven by science: Disorder increases with time. Ergo, things get worse. This amuses me so much that I also have to tell everyone in the family about this. Most of them probably started tuning me out almost 18 years ago anyway. :P

What was I doing the rest of the night? Oh, yeah. Trying to find my life while doing homework with a broken brain. When 11:30 PM comes around, I look around with shifty eyes because last time I checked it was 7:00 PM. Life and homework must wait until morning. Title of Dr. James, I might achieve you in the future.

Today, Friday
Um. I made little progress on something I was supposed to be working because I was watching Jyu Oh Sei (also on hulu); I recommend it to anyone who likes anime. I actually needed that. My mind is everywhere right now. I'll be ready to return to tackling the list of things I need to do  tomorrow night.

~~~
If you don't understand my excuse, I'll sum it up in a few words: Sick, stressed, and scatterbrained. My new-found nothing box was crushed too quickly by my reality box, so I have nothing particles messing up my system. I think the weekend will get me back to normal (whavever that is).

Anyway, I have some internet finds to share.



I missed TBBT this week. :( Still, XD.
If you haven't seen the utilikilt, you're missing out.
I still want to learn the dance in this song. I'm hopeless. . .


That's all for now. Until the next post, and as always, take care. 8)

Birdo

I learned about this yesterday. I think someone once told me that Birdo is male, but I don't think I was listening very closely.


From this, I get that Yoshi is gay and Nintendo history would probably be an awesome history course. Gaming culture never ceases to amaze me.

Until the next post, and as always, take care. :)

How to find an article about male nipples

See? I'm sticking with my plan. Let's see how long I can keep this up.

Shelbi, I hope you're reading this because this post is for you. Msn is deciding that you are not allowed to know what Google did to me. Thankfully, Blogger is on the fun side (Facebook is on msn's side >.<).

I'm working on a project for social psychology on gender differences and similarities. Naturally, I turned to Google to find an article about how males and females see color differently. I typed in "color male female scientific american" because the article I remembered involved those words. Of course, Google decided that I was being too lazy (I had the link already in my ginormous bookmark organizer). It gave me this article. Yes, Google knows me now. It knows that I want the strangest article possible. I'm not sure why Google wants me to know why men have nipples, but I'm thoroughly amused.

Also, I like Nadine's belt and this made me laugh hysterically (in my head). Lastly, I've witnessed this.


Until the next post, and as always, take care. ^_^

The Artistic Nerd's New Plan

Who is the odd one out of the bunch? (Hint: It's blue.)

Hello, blog. It's been a while. I have a new plan that should take care of that. You see, I'm an internet hound. I search, read, and watch things every day. I send most of the links I find to Shelbi. I've been neglecting this this thing because I've been reading a lot and too terrified to write (U.S. history -- don't ask). This is where my new plan comes in. I'm going to share at least 1 thing I've found every single day. Once a week, I'll have a deviant artist spotlight thing. Maybe I'll even say what's up every so often, go on a rant, tell a story, or share a conversation--anything goes. To kick off yet another restart, I'm going to do the deviantART spotlight and share a few links and such.

This week's Delightful Deviant is . . .
Sooper-Deviant because he captures nature with enviable skill. Some of the animals are downright cuddly-looking, so I cannot resist thinking ":aww:". Just have a look. His gallery is drool-worthy.

Sharing Time

For the Love of Typewriters from The Art of Jordan

Marc Johns is fantastic.

Serious kudos to these guys.




Music video for Black and Gold by Sam Sparro Seeing the clip from Fame made me want to look up the song. I really like it.

I saw this weeks ago, but I'm sharing it now.


I was shocked when I saw this on Glee. I can't find the clip, so you'll just have to find the episode to see what I mean. I was impressed. This is just the song, so you can hear why.


I want to make this.


Nat is back!!!!!!!!

That's all for now. Until the next post, and as always, take care. 8)

I love paper

No Delightful Deviant because I'm sharing my love of paper. You'll see how that works in a second.
~
Okay, so I ranted to my heart's content last night. I complained. I whined. I overcame the urge to type in all caps and just used more words. Now, I can show some more pleasant things. :)

On Friday I was hanging out in the school library. I decided to take a stroll because I spotted a few shelves filled with dictionaries. Instead of doing the really geeky thing and picking up a really old dictionary, I checked out the opposite bookshelf. Soon enough I came upon the papercraft section (I don't think it has a name, but the whole section had a craft theme). Before you go and think "Oh, no. You're one of those tree killers who enjoys torturing paper products for your own amusement. You sicken me," be patient. I love trees and the amazing things people do with paper. I'll just show you what I mean. I can't show you the 1971 book by Hiroshi Ogawa called "Forms of Paper" that I borrowed, so I'll show you some awesome paper stuff from deviants (mostly) and other cool people. Enjoy. ^_^
