ORLY?
Hokay.
My room is...empty. Mostly empty, anyway. My "bed" is now a few blankets and sheets piled in the corner. =P And I've got the compy set up on the floor, and boy lemme tell you, typing while lying on the floor is uncomfortable. Uncomfortable, but doable.
So yes, Ryan's dad came down and the two of them made several trips to the storage unit and actually got both of our crap in there, with a little room to spare, I'm told. All that's left in my room (besides aforementioned "bed" and compy) are little random things, my suitcases full of clothes, boxes for compy and such, my drum, my dress, my puke green vacuum, aaaaaand a big ol' bag of trash that I might have to bribe Ryan into running to the dumpster under cover of night. So all I have to take to my grandparents' come Friday are the electronic doodads, my drum, blankety things, one small box, a bag or two of random stuff, and my traveling gear. Yay. And I still have to call them to arrange pick up and such. And Karen to decide if we can/will eat somewhere/something on Friday. But I have to be here to wait for the friggin' cable guy because, get this, they said he'd be here sometime between 9AM and 7PM. O_o Uhm. Is that possibly the biggest window ever? So we're hoping he doesn't show up in the possible one hour period when Jen is gone and I may not be here. But I'll probably be here since my Norwegian final shouldn't take the full two hours.
Speaking of school. Yeeeeaaaah...haven't done the phonology homework yet. I'm pretty sure I'm quite fucked. But then, I do horribly on these things anyway, so it'll just look like my usual attempts. That's what I'll be doing tomorrow. I'll probably take those lovely pills just so I sit my ass down and do it. Otherwise I'll...you know, do absolutely nothing I really ought to. I'm thinking I might take only two tomorrow. That leaves me with four. I could take two on Friday, also. I kind of wanted some for Saturday since I've got that bloody four hour layover. I think I might have said it was five before, but I checked and it's four. Not that that's much better. But yeah, since I've got an hour and a half from EUG to SFO, four hours in SFO and then about five hours from SFO to KOA, that amounts to approximately ten hours that I could be working on drawings and story-writing. Especially since I've created Daron's Summer Project. XP Did I mention it here? No...I think I talked about it on stupid myspace, but said I wouldn't say what it was. Told people over on dA, though. I'll tell you guys. =D
So as I said on dA, inspiration smacked me upside the head the other night. A lot of people have their own clans, or are part of a clan, or just have multiple personal characters. While all I've got is Tiryn. And she's kinda...alone in my gallery. Needs some diversity. Besides the occasional random Briar or Robin drawing. =P So I decided Daron's Summer Project (and probably longer, since I'm the Queen of ProcrastiNation) is to create my very own clan! ^_^ Guess where they'll be from? (Big surprise) Hawaii, of course. I already started coming up with some backstories and I don't even have solid designs or names down yet. =P Oh, and Kimo said I could use him as reference for a character, but Robin sprung forth of his own will so those plans died. However, when I was coming up with some initial designs in my head the Use Kimo As Reference came back into play. I don't even think I was doing it on purpose. I was just thinking and all the sudden realized this one gargoyle looked a lot like Kimo. So, while not on purpose, my subconscious was obviously directing that one. Yeah, yeah, shut up, he's HOT. Dunno if I'll use anyone else I know as reference, but if I think I might I'll ask first, for sure. Sooo, yups. Daron's own clan. And since they've got absolutely nothing to do with the Manhattan clan, I actually might write stories about them once I've got definite designs down. I don't write Tiryn stories because...well....dude, you really don't want to know what she does inside my head. That, and most of the things don't make much sense because the universe she lives in is this weird mushed together place and I've not really explained my universe all that well yet. Where the hell was I going with this? Uhhhh....ANYWAY, be on the lookout for WIPs of characters over the summer. I hope. Since I'll probably be asking for your guys' input along the way. (WIP means work in progress, if you were wondering.)
Hrmm...didn't really eat anything today. First thing I ate finally was a little bean jelly left over from New Years. That was at like 4 or something. And I'd been up since 9. Yeah, I'm dumb like that. And then Ryan and I went to the Dairy Mart and I bought a bag of peanut butter Chex Mix. Didn't realize that the top of the bag says, "New Chocolate" and was mildly surprised by a sweet Chex. Ryan's gonna make dinner soon so I'll help and eat real food. =P
Right...things to do still:
Call people- Kahimohala, Karen, Japoki, etc
Organize clothes in suitcases
Organize random things on the floor
DO PHONOLOGY HOMEWORK
Figure out carry-ons and food situation for Saturday
Eat something, damnit!
Okay, I guess that's it for now. Tomorrow I'll probably update one last time before I go to my grandparents', and then you won't hear from me again until Saturday or Sunday, depending. Oh...and I'll probably finish Hyperion before I leave, so at least I've got the sequel and Lois-Ann Yamanaka's new book too. Plus the first in the Foundation series. So book situation should be good to go for the plane. Especially since I really want to work on this clan. =D
As long as they gaze at Waterloo sunset, they are in paradise
