You thought I was gone for good, didn't you. Well, I'm not, clearly.

Life's been crazy, I've learned to knit, I've graduated high school, I've neglected my dA account for years...boyfriends have come and gone and I'm on my fifth major in school.

I've been writing, still, just not publicly. I've been fairly active on-and-off on tumblr and I'm trying to get back in the swing of daily journaling with 750words.com. I'm lucky that I joined before they made it a subscription site -- free lifetime membership, woohoo!

Not much in the way of fabulous photography has happened, not since I lost my camera charger, but I've got a smartphone so I can do fab pictures with that. Mostly what I've been taking pictures of is the cats and my knitting. I have a fair amount of yarnporn pics, but that's not really art, now, is it. I sewed a dress two weekends or so ago, I'm wearing handknit socks almost exclusively, seriously 90% of the pictures on my phone are of my boyfriend's cats, and I've finally got long hair again. It's halfway down my back. I can't believe it. Last time I posted, I think it was somewhere around my shoulders.

And I'm thinking of cutting it again! Hah.

I've stored most of my old work, deleted the portfolio thing I had going, and I'm basically just trying to clean up around here. Gone is the angsty 13-year-old-me, replaced by the anxious 20-year-old me. I really removed a lot of what was in here, so if you're still around and you want to reread an old work, go ahead and message me.

I feel really really bad about abandoning my dA for long periods of time and then returning for like a week, then abandoning it again. I'm really sorry, guys. I love you all, you know that.
I'm just really really forgetful.

Anyways, I've written a lot of essays this year (thank you, English class), and I'm thinking about uploading a few of the better ones. I wrote an entire essay challenging a line in King Lear (Lear states that to live contently with only what one needs is akin to being animalistic and a beast) in about fifteen or twenty minutes today (or was it yesterday??). I really liked the essay but hated the way it ended. I'll revise it when I get it back :P
And of course, there's my essay about the paradox of gifted students, which most of my English class felt to be too true :P Ahh, the wonders of being defined as a gifted child. The laziest and most motivated people you'll ever meet.

If any of you have read anything by John Green you are now one of my new best friends. He is a fantabulous writer and I just finished Paper Towns an hour or two ago. It's one book I wouldn't mind analyzing. There's just so much in it that I consider 'food for thought' and it's such a good book.

Expect to see a little bit of photography coming up soon as well, there's this new elementary school by my house and I've been down at the playground getting pics. And also my class ring came in (it's off getting resized now) and it is gorgeous and beautiful and there are macro pics of it that I took which are also gorgeous and beautiful and yeah. :D

Here is a picture of me playing around in my neighborhood (taken by my amazing boyfriend):

You have to click through the link b/c I don't know how they do their picture stuff here so yeah.

And a few more 'preview' pics of what I'm thinking about uploading...
a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto… (marching show!)
a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto… (and a few similar pics)
a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto… (clarinet porn ;))
a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto… (my ring)
a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto… (boyfriend's)
a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto… (another one of his)
a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto… (swings)
a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto… (monkey bars)

...And a couple just for fun:
a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto… (My brain on music theory)
a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto… (My awesome drawing skillzzz)
a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto… and a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto… (French class art)
a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto… (Scarf I made for my mommy)

...so yeah, it's late, I'm tired and hyper all at the same time, and I'm also vlogging with my bestie fionapixie and we are just awesome like that. :)

NaNoWriMo 2010!

Getting a late start but I'm aiming to do it this year.
So far I'm extremely behind but I love the concept of this story and I'm going to keep working on it. I just need NAMES!

Basically it's a chess allegory: each character corresponds to a piece on a chessboard. :D
I know, I'm a dork.
but you all love me
and my disappearing-without-another-word-for-five-months ass <3

RECAP TIME

6 min read


GOSH it's been a long time since I updated...not like most of you care anyways, neh? ;P

Recap!


I've been BUSYBUSYBUSY with band and school. Battle of the Bands (first place feature band HELLZ yeah), Battle of Flowers parade, going to the Flambeau parade with friends, and then the first week of May absolutely stuffed with band as well: officer elections, drum major tryouts, band tryouts, and band banquet. Then senior concert, field-testing for these newfangled STAR exams (I claim STAR stands for Standardised Tests Are Retarded. (And I apologise for my usage of the word 'retarded', I don't mean any offence at ALL, I just couldn't think of a better word for R >_< )), and then a short two-day band camp, then finals. October and May are my busiest months, I swear. Yeesh.

BOYFRIEND?!


I'm also 10000x happier now. All because of a special boy and god how I hate the words boy and boyfriend, they sound so stupid to me. AAAAAAAAAAANYWAYS his name is Tommy and well I have no idea yet if it's love but that's why I'm gonna wait and seeee :]
if any of you out there know of a guy known as the 'wandering scripter', that's him. :heart:

NEW LAPTOP?!


YOU HEARD RIGHT. I have a new laptop. :) It's sexy as hell and I love it. It's also very very shiny. I love shiny. But not when fingerprints get all over my shiny.
Oh well. It's still shiny.

SUMMER?!


Fuck yes it's summer. And I'm probably not going to update at all this summer because I write mostly when I'm down and I'm not down at all right now. :)
My summer will be busy. Between hanging out with my :heart: and going to my dad's house and GYLC...I'm not gonna have any time at all for sleeping.
Or thanking for faves. (I love thanking people but I hate the time it consumes so I've given up on doing it. >_< )

So if you've decided that something I've done is awesome and you'd like to add it to your favourites please by all means go ahead and do so and make sure to check out the rest of my gallery -- if you're looking at my fractals or photography look at the lit section and if you're looking at the lit, check out the fractals and photos bits. :) I do so much more than just fractals, photos, and lit but unfortunately I can't upload an entire bracelet or a paper crane to the Internet, only pictures, and I'm too lazy to get pictures. :)
Anyways, if you've decided to add something of mine to your favourites, thank you VERY much, every single :+fav: is appreciated. I love you all. You're all awesome. :)

French~!


so I have become obsessed with French (the language, lol) and I want to write a full deviation entirely in French. It'll probably go in my Scraps but oh well~! Despite being only a first-year student I really love it and basically I want to become fluent in at least three languages by the time I graduate college. I'm thinking a minor in linguistics (I'm planning on double-majoring: music and english/creative writing. :))
And well it's probably going to take a lot of work and it'll end up being corrected multiple times by unjamie before anyone sees it but it'll be great. I know it.
...gotta ask him where the French translation of Jenna went...

Life~!


...has been sucking. We started marching again this week. I've been stabbed by a swing flag (during my solo this morning, FML.) and I managed to whack myself twice in the knees during warmups. Today totally wasn't my day. I messed up majorly every single runthrough and I'm not confident at ALL anymore. :
And drum major tryouts are soon. I'm planning on trying out but I know that a majority of the band really doesn't like me, so I'm not thinking I'll get it. And my summer this year...is full. XD I'll be at Dad's through the end of June, and I'm going off to a summer camp in the first half of July...I'll be in Philly on my birthday, going up to NYC! :D I LOVE New York. Like, LOOOOOOOOOOOVEloveloveloveloveLOVE. :P It's my favourite city of all. And I've been to a lot of cities!

Music~!


I was up in Denton on Saturday to go check out UNT. Am totally loving the campus. It's green and beautiful and big and I really want to go there because they have one of the BEST music programs in the country.
I think I'll start doing a music feature on here because there's so much awesome stuff out there. XD. It's gonna be at the bottom of this journal...
