Life is completely CRAZY.
HOW DO THINGS HERE ON DA PILE UP SO FAST?
78 Journals?! HOW CAN I READ THEM ALL?!
I'm in madrigal--fun but time consuming, and I've got this little problem with saying "no" when people ask me to do things, so I'm doing the tickets, place settings, and table scrolls for madrigal and have like, four commissions I don't have time for... >_> And then there's math, and the ACT retake, and scholarship applications, and...
Christina is seriously stressed ;-; Halp please.
Just a little update and an EXTREME APOLOGY for not having replied to any messages or read any journals.
I miss DA terribly.
:C

P.S.! HAS ANYONE ELSE READ "WHAT HAPPENED TO LANI GARVER" BY CAROL PLUM-UCCI? If so, you... should definitely leave a comment about it so we can discuss C: It's my FAVOURITE.
Anywho... I really have to go do homework now :C
C

I'm not even gonna LOOK at messages, deviations, or notes, or journals; just don't have time, I gotta go in just a minute. I have a TON of DA stuff to catch up on and things won't slow down until AFTER Christmas. My computer access is going to be severely cut down after Friday night, anyway, for the next week or so.
I'm officially a grown-up today. I don't feel like a grownup.
I'm very excited because ~Twilarity got me a FELLA PLUSHIE! I was SO EXCITED!
Off to go celebrate my birfday with my family <3

Tomorrow is the Sidewalk Chalk Competition! (After being rescheduled TWICE due to rain... it's been a VERY rainy fall around here. And cold. Brrr.) I'm psyched, and nervous; wish me luck! I made Team Awesome t-shirts, too. Team Awesome consists of me, Melanie, Nicole and Ethan. Squee. (Yes, twilarity: another squee. I just can't help it; my addiction to squee-ing as all your fault.) And my sophomore year, my team (me, Kalie (Ethan's sister), James, and Tara) had NO IDEA what we were gonna draw, didn't practice or communicate at all, just had fun and drew, and we won first place. Last year, we practiced, planned, and worked our sorry butts off.... and LOST. And we were beaten by a NEMESIS. Rawr. So this year, we're just going to have fun again <3 I've been doodling, but nothing too serious, or it'll jinx us :C
Happy news:
1. Math class; I've been studying nonstop, around the clock, and I think I did fairly well on the exam, which SHOULD bring my grade up to an A. I'll keep my fingers crossed. If so, there's only one more quarter of that class left, and then I'll be DONE WITH MATH. HOO-FREAKIN'-RAY.
2. I'm in madrigal C: Our school is finally resuming madrigal; we haven't had one since my freshman year. YAY! YAY FOR MEDIEVAL DRESSES AND SPEAKING LIKE A BRIT! DANCEY!
3. I'm very excited because I went to an epic yard sale, and got $180 worth of audiobooks for $10. I also got Legally Blonde, which may be one of my all-time favourite movies.
Unhappy news:
1. Still too busy for DA, which breaks my heart. This afternoon is only free because I forgot my Biology book at school, and I'm slackin' on my other classes.
2. My room, my car, and everything ELSE I own smell like DQ. Yuckers.

HOLY SHIZNIT. I HAVE OVER 10,000 PAGEVIEWS! WHEN THE EFF DID THAT HAPPEN?
Since I feel like being lazy this afternoon, and shirking my duties, I think I shall do a picture for it. C: Probably featuring Kitty and Slacker... since most random pictures do.
I've gotten lazy with adding stuff at the end of my journal... like my club icons... and my besties-list. Oops. Sorry :C
Just another update.
I miss being on DA </3

I'm down to 12 messages! SUCCESS! I've spent all evening going through journals, reading comments, and commenting those who faved my art o_o It's been busy.
Life in general. I'm a senior, and I'm terrified, because soon, I have to decide what to do with my life. I'm seriously undermotivated these days, because I'm so stressed out all the time; if I've been mean or snarky to anyone on DA, I'm SO SORRY. When I'm stressed, I get rude and terrible and turn into a bitch. But on top of DQ, I have the hardest math class evar, biology (which is a freshman class, and they failed to tell me it was required until NOW so I'm in there with a bunch of freshies-- which is okay, I love freshies, but if one more person asks me if I'm in there cause I've failed before, I'll knock their teeth in. ...see what I mean about being snarky?)
It seems like there's never enough time for anything these days :C School snarfs up a large majority of my time. If this tells you anything, one of my homework assignments in that God-forsaken math class had 500 problems. And it doesn't count toward your grade, but you get detention if you don't do it-- the ONLY GRADES THEY TAKE ARE TEST GRADES.
On a brighter note, I went to a drive-in for the first time last night! It was fantastical, except that it rained :C
Evansville is also where I think I want to move when I get older. It's pretty much my favorite place to be, I go there every chance I get. Except STORY TIME!
There's this creepy little town called New Harmony on the way to Evansville, and my mom was like, "Hmmm, that sounds like a cute little town. Let's take a jaunt down this side road and see what it is," and of course, I'm always game for exploring. BUT. We drove, and drove, and drove (supposedly it's only twelve miles from Mt. Vernon, Indiana, to New Harmony, but it sure as heck FELT like a lot longer than that) and finally, we went down this super steep hill; we were entering a valley. And y'know those signs that say "Caution, School Bus Stop" or whatever? Well, this had a big yellow sign that said "Caution, Cemetery". Okay. I started to get the willies a little. But it gets weirder.
We drove down this hill, and on either side of us, slanting up, is this cemetery. And all the tombstones look so old. We finally get into this little town and it's full of the RANDOMEST buildings-- some look a hundred years old, some look brand new. But everyone stopped on the sidewalks, dropped whatever they were doing, and stared as we went past. And then, at the end of Main Street, there was this church, and it was so pretty, and then a horse-drawn carriage went past, with a bride in a beautiful dress, and while everyone else was staring at us, the people in the carriage acted like they didn't even see us. MAJOR CREEPINESS. Mom and I turned around to leave, cause we were both seriously wigging out. And on the way back out, we passed a sign that just said "Labyrinth". They had a LABYRINTH in their town! I found what the other side of the sign said, and it said: "THE LABYRINTH. Symbolic of the Harmonist concept of the devious and difficult approach to a true state of harmony." It was apparently started by "Harmonists" a really long time ago? It's scary, not gonna lie.
I definitely need to be, y'know, DOING stuff. But I love DA so much, and I'm all sad, cause I'm never on anymore :C
Off to go and work on a commision.

Pardon me. If language offends you, you shouldn't read this journal. Usually I'm not vulgar on DA, but this... I have every right to be vulgar.
My fucking CAMERA was stolen. With my MEMORY CARD IN IT. So all my pictures from the Ludo concert, from the Edwin McCain concert, from my vacation to Florida, my friends' graduation, my mom and my adventure to the zoo this summer, everything important is ALL GONE. FOREVER. I didn't back much of it up. Including all my videos of Edwin and Ludo.
I accidentally left my purse at McCallister's in Paducah Tuesday night when I went to get tea there. An employee sat across from us and watched us leave.
When I realized it was missing the next morning, he was the one who found it. He said it was "like that when he found it"-- everything had been taken out of my wallet, and thrown randomly around in my purse. My cash and camera were gone. He says he knew nothing about it but he SAW MY PURSE sitting in the chair when I left. So why didn't he try to flag me down, or stop me? I bet he's the stupid mf-er that took it. ARGGGGGGGGGH.
I hate life. ;_;
