Crusty sweet pea-ness

Saturday we tromped around the Vanderbuilt territory...touching as much as I could and getting as many free samples possible. We were super giggly on the way there and back. Some nice quotes resulted. My favorites:

"That'll put hair on a lady's chest,"
and "Crusty cheese comes from crusty cows,"

but, the very best came from shat, and I suggest saying this aloud while others are around:
"Here, take this crusty sweet pea-ness..."

giggles ensue, still.

While there, we all decided we needed segways, seeing how cool one looks while riding on one.

Shmee eats butter!

Wow! this semester is flying by, a little too fast for my liking. I was freaking out the other night, with the help of allergy medication, about needing to print out everything for portfolio, and the fact that I cant find a couple files that I really wanted to put into the portfolio.

But the medication wore off, I found some things yesterday that I had forgotten I had did that I really like, and now I am unsure why I freaked out in the first place.

Resume, interview and portfolio lecture today. Highly useful things. Its been a big help. Now I've started an inner dialog about how great I am. No, I haven't had one in there before...

Mountain dew is good.

Yesterday, Shmee informed me that she used to eat butter. Just butter. That's so sweet, little Shmee.

News on the nose front

My only news today, is of a certain someone who's nose was unpicked, as of last semester. Well, thats not true for he or she now. Yesterday we noticed one nostril was quite a bit larger than the other. I am shocked!

Whatever. Nothing else to report. Sad, I know.

Heres some things that crest includes:

To slack off together, or not at all
Ignore the cheese
Scurvy is real
Theres no pirates in Idaho
I saw something nasty in the woodshed
High fives in the sunshine

Crusty Slacker Crest

aye: scurvy prevails!

Here be the slackateer crest.



It mentions scurvy, cheese and pirates in Idaho: everything I cherish in life.

I heart howl

while I know the kingdom is full of wild animals, today I think they all decided to greet me as I drove through. Yes, my journey out of the kingdom to venture abroad for the sake of my education was hendered by having to stop for and dodge defenceless creatures, as they crossed the road.

Last night, my overwelming deprivation ceased. Now, Im only slightly deprived. I watched "Howl's moving castle" it was delightful, my friend. Before I saw it, I watched "Castle in the sky" In all seriousness, I can't remember much about it. Not after Howl!

Anywho, all that stuff was from yesterday.

Today, is friday yay!!!!!!

weekend full of bumming is coming my way.

Got a new group: the slackateers. We are still working on it. Lily thought of our name, she is a crafty minx.

I dont wanna grow up, I like peanut butter!

Wednesdays are somewhat blah days. But I did say the same about tuesday and monday and thursday.

Easter is coming up. Needless to say, I am looking forward to it. Despite how it might seem in my last blog, I sincerely enjoy the Easter holiday. Its the thought that counts, really.

I was informed the eggs symbolize the rebirth of Christians, when Jesus died for our sins. Still cant say why we hide those eggs. Err...Ill investigate further.

Had a nice lunch with the ladies at sub to the way. Kackle kid appeared. Shmee suggested it was fate. I'll remain neutral.

Realized the only time I cant think of anything half decent design-wise is in GD 3. Yes, in that class I get a mental creativity block. Everything I have ever designed in that particular class turns into crap. Dont have the same to say about typography.

Reading Eragon. Its getting good! It's so much better than the movie! Im happy to have something to take my mind off Harry and Ron.

Filled out a pirate survey on myspace. It was worth the five minutes it took to log in. It mentioned your pirate name (its shmittie if you didnt know) , your battle cry (There's no pirates in Idaho!) and your favorite squashbuckler (Dread pirate roberts) I had a lot of fun. Naturally, I kept lily's ship name. Im smee to her captain hook. Shmee is of course the aligator...*snigger* tick, tick, tick...

Just kidding, shmee. I guess shmee would be smee. I would be princess Tigerlily, or something...

okay, shvic go to bed! gee

An easter quesadilla?

Last night, I asked my mom what we might be doing for easter. Knowing full-well that we go to church and most likely will eat out.

Mom's just stopped cooking dinners at all.

I figured she'd say we were going to fire mountain. Last year we did. An unpleasant experience.

So I exclaimed: "nothing says 'Christ has risen' like a chimichanga!" hoping we could at least go somewhere that served delcious food. Mom did not like this.

But Mexico has easter, too doesnt it?

Nothing says "Christ has risen!" like honey baked ham and candied yams, apparently. How else would we celebrate without a coconut bunny cake? Shocking!

Typography is so much fun.

Shmee and I left spring fling just to play on photoshop. We were both actually looking forward to leaving the warm sunshine and sitting in the cold grey classroom to work in photoshop. Hold me! I feel the change coming upon me!

Sadly, I dont even mind. I feel like Harry Potter when he perform the summoning charm during the tri-wizard tournament, saving him from certain death by dragon.

...or something.

"Christ Has risen, hide your eggs!"

high-fives in the foggy gloom

Woke up to, and drove to school with, a glorious sunrise. It was metallic-ish. Very shiny and pretty! Im so happy its friday.

If you want cheese, just ask Shloni.

Quiet suppressed giggles fill the room.

All the boys in class look stern. All the girls are giggling.

Unsure whats going on, because I have a sausage biscuit. yay! real food!

Epiphany in the shower

So, Ive been having epiphanies in the shower. Yes, I have great ideas while washing. I think it has to do with good smelling soap and hot water. No, I won't tell what these thoughts are.

Driving to school, all the sky did was mist. Go ahead and rain already. Gee. It may have rained last night. I cant say for certain, because I was asleep. But if it did rain, I wish the sun would come out. This wetness is really bringing me down.

Yes frog pornagraphy happened in my backyard. One frog was there, just to watch. Frogs are pervs too, I guess. They didnt appreciate me taking photos. I felt dirty even watching.

Now adays, Im hopelessy addicted to digital photography. Those photos turn out so much better. Plus I dont have to wait to have them developed. Instant gratification, I say.

Nothing cracks me up more when I see people dressed up as sailor moon characters. Not cute, guys.

Poor professor hickey is not amused by her students. The second year ones, mostly.

Tater is not here. Getting dressed, from what I here.

high fives in the sunshine

well, nothing much to write about. Going slow, mostly. We had glen's for lunch. Good weener.

Lily's planning for a after graduation beach trip. purr!

Er, sleeping in tomarow. Super excited.

Voted for student government. Big decisions were made. Lives will be changed I'm sure.

Planning to win $200 just for parking. Im telling you: its gonna happen.

Shmee, lily, ambii and me were all trashy today. Shat was make beleive trashy.

saw a sock in the kohls parking lot. Some one is half trashy.

Got some nice blue tinted pics from eckerds. thanks guys! Blue is nicer than green.

shmee has a condem-esque object in one of her pictures. Gee shmee, you shouldnt just leave those laying.

Just around the river bend

I spent this entire weekend for the most part at the mountain of stone trying to get some nice water pictures. Everyone keeps saying water shots, but for this blog it will be water photos. We did all sorts of hiking and exploring.
Saturday, mostly we explored the step dads home place which was near garden creek. We took the road up through the woods and ventured off the path only to find some very interesting things. Things like an old spring, rusted old car remains and an old barrel with a whole on the side. The step-dad says this was probably a birdhouse.
His home place was torn down by the state when they took over the park, but there are still some cool stuff up there. The whole where the basement was is full of stagnant water..yum.
The step dad doesn't go up there anymore to show us stuff, so mom and i explored on our own. I took a bunch of pictures to ask him about later.
We had so much fun exploring. I like safe, danger-free curiosity.
I also visited widows falls. It was pretty, and luckily not many people were there. I learned later that a road goes around to the top, so a pansy like me doesnt have to hike up. Im gonna look for that next time.
There was a slightly drunken man hiking around the waterfall. He may not have been drunk, but he talked and acted like he was. Why would you get drunk and climb a mountain thats actually called "widow's falls"? thats crazy.
I didn't get to bingo, though, like I had thought. I was so pooped! I definitely would not be fun to bingo against. I was tired and slightly irritable.
Sunday, we hiked to the top of the falls, from the picnic shelter.
I'm afraid of heights, and I was super scared for about ten minutes up at the top most of the falls. then, the observation deck was even more frightening, but I braved it. Hopefully I got some awesome pictures. It is pretty up there, but I was scared.
I keep wondering where the creek comes from to fall over the rock. That'll take some more investigations, Im afraid.

Yaw! looking good! purr...

Shmee has an elderly neighbor whom, Ive been told is extremely nosey. I too have noticed her glaring out her door or across her yard while gardening. Tuesday, I wanted so to cat call her. I wanted real bad to yell "lookin good!" because, as I drove past, she was bending.
The same goes for today. Except there was a younger-ish guy riding out there too, and I wouldnt want him to get the idea I was calling to him. Ive been told though that the woman would not enjoy being hollared at.
Shmee let me borrow the last unicorn. It was Fabulous! A great film....*sigh* it was so pretty and sinister. Ahhh! it was better than i had imagined.
I also watched Eragon: it was super good too. I like draons!

I slept in this morning. The little dog that barks and tries to wake me found the sleeping bag I had left in the floor and slept on that instead. So all I had to do was give him a blanket the whole time! This information would have really enhanced spring break.

River Daince!

Aye. St Patrick's is one of my favorite holidays...I always liked it because I got to wear green. It was so cold today.

Went to goodwill to donate clothes, and then taken around the city of wilkes to find my granny something for her birthday that was like two weeks ago. Wonder if she would like a boob cake? hrm.....some how I doubt it. Today was stude's birthday. Happy birthday, Stude!

Too bad they didnt get a chance to sing to him, Im sure he's a vision with a sombraro on.

Man my saturday went by fast! and well, didnt accomplish anything. Tomarrow, we are venturing to the far north, high in the mountains of ashe. Its been a long time since we went up there. Its where my grandparents live. I cant even remember last time we were up there. I am excited about the taco bell/ kfc. Yum! nachos and snackers. This year we didnt go up there for christmas like we have for the past 20 years of my life...A story I will save for a later time. But tomarrow is going to be that get-together. Thats why its so cold. I do control the weather after all.

Neener!

ahhhh....


Game boards click, done. *sigh*

got group work in typography now too. I'll say later how excited I am. Theres one chick in the group who calls herself "shmee". Shes a minx.

had a bit of boob today. It was the best I ever tasted. Yum.....made us want cake even more.

Its a rainy, glorious friday.

oh, and to clarify something: The people talking on the tv are talking to me and TJ. So there, neener. Neener.

The Spring Break Files

Spring break, is, well, here! yippeee! Instead of bumming on some beach and flashing the first person I see with a camera, I have instead decided to get stuff done. Lots of stuff. I have made a complete list. It may surprise some people that I make lists. A disorganized, messy kid like me have lists? yeah its true.

So the list includes reorganizing my bedroom, getting rid of lots of junk, donate some stuff thats still in good enough condition that some one would want it. Oh! and most important making a huge dent in the portfolio class stuff. I made a list of everything I wanna do for that class too. Its been difficult because I became obsessive about them having to be perfect!

Wow! I just noticed how sunny it is. If I were 12, I would be out in the yard, running and jumping. I might do that anyway, later today.

I guess I should be back in the room. It deserves all the work I plan on putting into it. Im in there a lot. Watching TV, listening to music (Jared, *cough*) and *sigh* doing my school work. Good work comes from in there because I have a whole lot more freedom to be creative, and there are fewer distractions.

okay, today i felt like rambling, but I gotta get back.

Dont Ignore the Cheese

well, I have to say that lily is Academically Excellent. Thats super exciting!
got a meeting at a restaurant that's main theme is horses, that twirl around attached with sticks in their backs while children ride upon them. Fiddledick.
So this weekend I took some more night shots, which hopefully will turn out a bit more successful. Had every intention of doing star trails, but it was cloudy. While out there, in the distance, there were cats calling each other. Long drawn out meows. Twas weird. Never heard cats doing that. I suppose its mating season in N. Shwilkes. Watch out, Shmee. You do live there. Gotta continue getting photos for scavenger hunt, but Im still waiting for a clear night for star trails...*sigh*
Whatever, Ive got to get back to work. I really wanna get some things finished. Luckily spring break is next week, and I have big plans.

this game spoke to me

Yup, the bloglessness is contagious. But nothing much really has happened. Monday night went shooting in Winston. Apparently, Im getting old cause I cant handle the staying up late. Had a great time. Went to a greek resteraunt. I lurve me some greek food. While downtown, I was somewhat cold. But at old salem, the winds died down a bit.

My photos from that night didnt turn out so good...This weekend, trying again. Definitely attempting some star trails, since they do tend to be so bright in my kingdom.

Missing lily, who isnt here at the moment.

Shmee caught a spook on her photos of old salem. It was exciting. Im glad that I didnt actually see a ghost while there, especially when I was in the library. I did have to use the rest room, and the had cut all the lights out in the building.

lily's just came in. yay!

Not the Scurvy!

Due to the immense lack of sun exposure, and drought of orange juice, Scurvy, a rare disease, has returned. Scurvy is real. Protect yourself. Drink orange juice. yes. Today when someone scathingly asked me why I drink such a disgusting orange beverage, I told them that I was making sure I didn't get scurvy.

Back in my pirating days I encountered many scurvy-infested bearded men. I gotta say: I never wanna be in a bad way such as that.

Anywho, Saturday lily and I shot a wedding. My first one. It went well, considering the shocking amount of battery eating that my camera did. Lily got some awesome shots. Ange got some funny ones too. There were some that I was happy with that I took as well. Hopefully the bride will really like them.

Lily gave me a framed photo of me, causing shenanigans on the parking deck...Ill treasure it forever. It has awesome lines and the colors are super bright.

Took shat with me to cafe to get breakfast. Because he was there, the cafe ladies gave me a huge chunk of chicken on my croissant. Yum!

Easily amused

yesterday, laughed like a madman. All day. laughed so much I had a slight cough. Got home and slept. Nice!

Had to include quotes on my book cover. Lily made up false aliases. The reviews I found didnt have the peoples names. But I swear, some of them really did say "This was the first book I ever read...." I mean, gee! How could I resist using them?

Lily's names included Krissy Manks (I've used this name before on some of joan's assignments) Norton McDougall, and Shakina Benge (my personal favorite) .

My other quotes were, and I promise people actually said this:

"This book spoke to me"
"This is the best book I ever read"
"When I finished the book I hungered for more"
and the best:

"This was the first book I ever read, and it made me want to read others"
okay, I made that one up.

more amusement ensued after typography when playing with the speaking widget, not funny until you change its voice. Just imagine, in a sing-songy voice "Tater eats potatoes..." Yes, Shmee and I were still laughing going home.

During my laughing fits, I came upon Shat's sister, who looked frightened. She hasnt experienced me, yet, I suppose.

Shmee and I learned what we really mean when we call someone sweet. Now we have a special code, all thanks to sparky. Since then, Ive noticed when girls say sweetie, or call someone sweet. I can only assume that its true.

Dang, I am easily amused.

But I am also easily annoyed. *cough*
