Yeah, I'm posting here, it's been a really long time since I have. I've been really busy, plus I forgot my password so I was like screw it. Yeah. I have a few mintues before class starts so I'm just chilling out and I'm super tired. I even went to sleep early last night at like 12am which is way early for me. I woke up early this morning, but I should still be alright after breakfast. Oh well. At least the class I'm going to is a good one. I hope we won't be doing anything too complicated and that we might be able to leave earlier. That would make me so happy. I think I have another quiz tommorow in my science class which I've be neglecting. Luckily enough for me it's only the second week of summer quarter. I've been practicing drawing people on the bus trying to develop diffferent ways of drawing people. I think so far, so good. I also think I may have figured out the basics, if not anything else, or perspective. I need a ruler to do it right, but it's all good. At least I can somewhat do it now. I'm about to doze off anyway...later..zzzz...zzz

I should probably post here more often, that way I could keep track of time better. I think I might be slightly additcted to energy drinks , I have a little money on my school account, and I've only been buying energy drinks with it. Today was a turning point though. Here's the story: It's been raining a lot lately in Atlanta, and when it rains I have no energy at all for some reason. The days go by slowly and I drift off to sleep all the time. The school store started carrying more food items, one of them being Monster and Rockstar energy drinks. I bought one on a whim and discovered that I really liked the way they taste. I know people like how hyper they are, but I don't really get too hyper on them anymore. I used to in high school, but I guess I built up a tolerance for it now. I've been buying them almost everyday, EXCEPT for today. I've been trying to improve my drawing skills and have been looking in to getting one of those little wooden manequins, I had enough for it so I bought it instead. I think it's a waay better investment.

On unrelated news, I've been attempting to watch Naruto for my boyfriend's sake, even though I've said that I hate it.  The best part of the show so far: ROCK LEE. I don't know why I like him so much either, I just think he's really cool. Green jumpsuit and all.

I've also gotten into knitting, I was stuck on trying to do a purl for the longest time but I finally got it. People are really nice to those who can do both. People ask me which one I prefer, even though knitting is fun, crochet will always be my true crafting love.

Alright, Satuday was my 20th birthday and usually I don't really feel any different after I've had a birthday, but this time is a little different. I actually feel like an adult now, it's strange because I've just spent the last 19 years as a kid. I still do the same things, I guess I'm just more aware of how old I am and responsiblities and other people. It's like right after I turned 20 other people started noticing me. Now apparently I've got a date coming up soon. (yeah I was a little shocked too, I knew this would happen one day XD)

I just feel odd, but I think I could get used to this adult thing. That and I totally get to drink (legally) next year.

  Alright, this quarter is finally coming to an end, and I'm dead tired. Everytime I stop to rest I sleep for hours at a time. I fell asleep once at 5:30 and when I woke up from my "nap", it was totally 11:45pm!  I've done that twice last week. So far I've turned in one project and I have two more to do (plus my final exam in my computer class, man I really dislike that teacher...) I've been really stresssed out and pms-ish all for a while. But on the bright side, my birthday is in two days! I'll be 20! woot woot!! Next year I'll be able to get a margarita! I just want one because they look like alcoholic slushies.

I've finished two more projects this week but for the lack of a camera I can't show you them right now...

I made:

 a rockin' hat for my sister (here's the link so you have an idea of what it looks like: www.crochetme.com/flappy

...and an awesome cowl, which looks and works great

 I promised that I would actually keep up with posting here, but I lied. (Whoops~!) I'll come back and post things when I remember, I suppose.

First off, my brother has one foot out the door. You know what that means, I FINALLY GET MY OWN ROOM!!! But I'll have to sanitize the place for a good week before moving in. (No joke, that guy never cleans the place, it's like if the word filth was a person, he'd live in that room...)
After our last big fight, he's decided on leaving sooner, so for Thanksgiving it was quite peaceful. (We even saved on the grocery bill)
But all good things must come to a end, yesterday he (along with all his Bullsh*t...) came back for a couple of hours. He did what he usually does, stirs up drama, eats all our food, leaves the house a mess, and catches the bus again. I hope this doesn't continue next year.

On to other news, I've got to find myself a better scheduel (spelled wrong, but I don't care...), last night I fell asleep from 6pm to 11:15pm! Maybe I'm just tired from the hours upon hours spent on the internet. Oh well, at least I've started exercising again, I couldn't find the time in the last few weeks. I already feel better

 Ok, so it's friday which means I had to get up at the egg crack of dawn to go to school again, but it's all good though, it's cute cold and rainy... My time is tight, it looks as though I'm going to have to vote a night, damn it. I really want to vote this year, even if my vote accounts to nothing. If you don't vote, you can't complain, right?

Well I made yet another hat, I think this may be an obession....



Cool right, I love the spiral shell pattern going on there. I added a few more rows of single crochet stitches to the bottom just last night, now they cover my ears better! I'll post the pattern link a little later, I'm kinda in the middle of class, lol!

Ok, so in my last post I said that the breeze was picking up and thanks to my mother's strange obession with keeping the patio door open, my feet are usually cold. After searching through raverly I found the perfect pattern:crochetcurbsidecouture.blogspot.com/2005/01/crochet-mary-jane-slippers.html

...and here's a few pictures!



I found the buttons in the clearance bucket at the wal-mart, cool right! These keep my feet toasty at night, I think I'll make a few more pairs!

  I'm finally starting to feel that it IS in fact fall here in Atlanta, the wind is starting to pick up and nights are getting a bit colder, good thing I crocheted so much stuff during summer. Last year I was just learning how to crochet in November, freezing my butt of while doing it. This time won't be so bad! I'm glad I stuck in there. I made something yesterday on my day off:


A pair of gloves that I saw on Crochetme.com from CreativeYarn, she super talented!

Here the link the pattern: crochetme.com/patterns/crochet-openwork-handwarmers

And here's the link to her blog, she has alot of other cool patterns too!

After a pretty alright day of shopping and an awesome malt we came home to find our apartment up in smoke. Luckly nothing caught fire! The door was locked, so I had to unlock the door and run into the smoky fog, our cat was at the door like Lassie or something, guding me near the cause of it all.. Guess what it was. Go ahead, guess.... It's this:

 

It's ramen....

yeah, I know...he's such a dumbass...

Apparently, he was cooking two packs of the stuff, on HIGH and left out of the house and locked the door. With all of our things in the house and EVERYTHING!!!!!

Here's my sister holding it, I just had to take a picture!

That's it. No more leaving him home alone!

As the title says, I'm back in school today and I happy to be back. The first few weeks are always a little hectic but I'll deal with it. Right now I'm freaking out because everyone bought up all the monthly bus passes and the school doesn't have anymore. I hope they get more by tomorrow or I'll have to buy one myself at the station, even though it'll cost me ten more dollars. I looked up the prices for my books, it's going to cost me over two hundred dollars this quarter.  It's that damn computer illustration class! On the bright side my financial aid is done with and I only have class three days out of the week.

I think I done with that kid, really. He seems to forget everything I've done for him in his seventeen years on this planet. Apparently I'm the enemy here but he's the liar and the cheat. He's a horrible person who makes bad ideas and I'm tired of having his back when he only wants to stab mine.

Ok, so for those of you who don't know I'm totally into crafts. My absoulte favorite is crochet, I'm addicted. There's been this one project that I've been trying to make since I started crocheting last year it's called the Professional.

It has always gotten the best of me, making me start over several times. It wasn't until Friday that I was bored enough to attempt with some black yarn that I had laying around. I actually did it, and it turned out  pretty well:

 

Sorry if the pictures are a little fuzzy,  I took them on a cell phone!

I have a computer now, so I thought now would be a good time to get back into blogs. I remembered having an account here, so I'll start posting on a regular basis! Yes! I love the internet, you don't know what you have untill it's gone for almost a year!

uh...yeah. Haven't been here in a while. So this is an update telling you that I will have another update soon and stuff...yeah.

So I decided to keep updating this journal, since my greatest journal is all about random stuff I wanted to make this one have a purpose. I have decided to dedicate this one on trying to get my manga published and to make it better, at the same time talk about fun stuff and meet new people!!!

Well this is my first entry to be honest even though I've had this journal by some time now, I totally forgot about it until someone reminded me, ah well. Let me introduce a little about myself. I'm a 16 year old girl, I like anime, yaoi, videogames, movies, the internet, meeting new people, and exotic places.
