I can hardly remember the last time I felt actually hot-the last time I was able to sprawl out in a short sleeve shirt and capris and feel no impulse to grab a blanket and curl up. It's the greatest thing ever!! My head is all a-fuzz from the dense humidity and I had to pull my hair (it's past shoulder-length now!) back in a french braid to get ( Read more... )

We took a bike ride today. While circling the pond at a nearby park, we rode by bushes where some red-wing blackbirds live (they were there previous years too, I recall). And... one of them attacked the back of my head! Gyah!! My mum got attacked too. It was crazy. But we survived unharmed ( Read more... )

Hi!! I had a nice, relaxing, easy day today. I woke up at 10:30, the sun was shiny and delicious, the weather got up to like the 80s or so??? I had banana bread for breakfast and lounged around in the morning, then meandered outside and did a bit of weeding in the afternoon. A bunch of the lilies we planted last spring look to be coming up- ( Read more... )

Oh is my brain fried or what. Man. I feel really out of it... I'd like to comment more on y'all's posts and stuff but I don't think I've got the mental capacity to handle it right now. Maybe after a good night's sleep tonight... Thanks y'all for being encouraging and nice and thoughtful. Sorry if all my posts lately have been a bit incoherent ( Read more... )

Oh~ I promised Savi today that I would post here and show a bit of art. It would be better to show some of my lovely watercolours from the summer class I took, but unfortunately I have still left them all at school........... So you just get a sketch for now.

The following entry will be in white text, so highlight it if you want to read it and it doesn't show up!
I feel tired and poor (moneyless-poor, i mean). I didn't quite realize how busy a summer class and two jobs is going to make me for the next six weeks. Between bus rides and switching buses and walking between stops, it's going to take me ( Read more... )

Right now, i'm eating frozen blueberries with a spoon and listening to the one song by Art-School that I like, which is titled Chloe. It's been a nice day, even though I only got three hours of sleep last night. That was because I was working and making a cake (that's two links, look at both of the beautiful pictures i took of it), though, so it ( Read more... )

Today I am going to write about manga. You should know that I love this stuff, that I get incredibly obsessive at times and have to read it for hours on end before I can be satisfied. And you probably know that most of the manga I read these days is shoujo ( Read more... )

You know what? Without looking at my past entries (this is my disclaimer-i could and very well may be wrong now), I think I very often start entries addressing you all, and then talk about stuff, and then end it with another public address. Isn't that weird? I have no idea actually. But my fingers feel awfully sticky, typing right now. I guess ( Read more... )

I was going to wait till 11:59 so I could be the last one to do so, but mum's trying to send me off to bed now so someone may yet beat me. But HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATE! I hope someone gave you a marquee message, because if I did I wouldn't even be able to see it or know if I did it right, because Safari won't show them, so I won't try it. Aside from ( Read more... )
