Yes...yes it is...not as cold as it had been in previous weeks, but it's pretty damn cold...
well, cold enough for it to be slushing, in any case.

And that song? ...I swear the girl's drunk...and it's apparently a Christmas song XD sounds like my Mexican Christmases filled with drinking and gambling! 8D
(We just can't possibly wait for it to be New Year before we start drinking and gambling, what are you talking about)

Ah, Christmas...pretty uneventful compared to last year...but still fun.
8D especially since I got the ever beautiful Yamaha Allegro Clarinet! *RUNS AROUND IN ECSTASY*
unfortunately...it's had some problems, which annoys me because it's brand new.
I just took it to Gracewinds the other day and they "fixed" it...but it's still not fixed to my satisfaction. So I'm planning on taking it back until it's actually fixed.
:3 and I got some other lovely things like a pretty necklace and dorky pictures from Kiltul, and edibles from Hikari, and CHOCOLATE from HH.
8D all in all, it was quite satisfying.
XD I think my favorite part about this Christmas was wrapping Kiltul's present.
:3 he wanted to punch me in the face, apparently
to give you an idea...
there was duct tape
and saran wrap
and wrapping paper involved...
and boxes.
looooooooooots of boxes

Other news?
New Year's is coming up, don't know what I'm doing for that yet...probably staying home, but I dunno.
Ah, and art...I've been messing with art for a while. XD currently my brain is filled with costume designs for the cast of Alice in Wonderland (8D I'm the Dormouse! I get to act drunk!), which seems to be a help to both the director and some of the actors who don't know how they should dress up.

Hmm...I think that's it...I really just wanted to get the previous journal off my front page. XD

O.o holy crap...
I just turned 18...
mind you, the first thing that ran through my mind this morning when I woke up was "gee, I don't feel 18..."
But I am.
I am now a legal adult (quick, everybody run and scream, fearing for your life and immortal soul)

:3 it was a fun day, though
except for the fact that I had to work...
that's never fun.
But I did get to go out to lunch with my parents, my brother, my aunt, my cousin, Kari, Kiltul, and Muddeh.
We had yummeh, yummeh Italian food, yes we did.

8D and they got me presents
>.>
<.<

...
...
...
and most of it was BUBBLE WRAP! 8D
*IS SUPER DUPER EXCITED BECAUSE SHE HAS A GIGANTIC ROLL OF BUBBLE WRAP PLUS A BUBBLE WRAP PILLOW*
x3
My darling Kiltul and dear Muddeh got it for meh.
:'D they know me too well...
O.o Muddeh gave me an awesome box, too...
I kinda wanna take pictures of it and post them on here, it's that epic...
:3 and Kiltul got me clarinet earrings
cuz I'm a fanatic
AND KARI GOT ME A FUZZEH PINK BLANKET
and gift cards
with a fuzzeh card holder
and there was CHOCOCOLATE! (yes, chococolate)
8D SO MUCH CHOCOLATE!
I haven't had any yet, as it's in Muddeh's box
but I will eat it
I will devour it
and I will enjoy every minute of it
>:3 all in all
a very good day.
Especially since I now have my SATs over and done with! 8D

Anything else, anything else...
May or may not post anything new in a while (but an ID I'm currently working on) due to the fact that I'm making lovely character sheets for the ever-awesome =spiffmister777 for he is going to doodle me and Kari a little something-something.
By the way, character sheets are kind of a pain in the ass, did you know?

D8 and oh my goodness, Christmas is soon and me with no presents made!
*PANICPANICSPAZ*
that might be another reason why I don't post stuff, I'll be too busy painting stuff for all my awesome friends :3

Anywho, hope you all are having an awesome magnificent day!

Alalalalaaaaaaa...so it's been a while since my last journal update. Almost two months, it would seem. I still don't have much to talk about. XD
Pretty much getting over my artist's block, though, which is good. I'm super glad, because I hadn't been able to draw anything decent in ages. It was rather frustrating.
Life's pretty good otherwise. I'm VP of our ITS troupe...and I'm going to WIBC, which is super exciting! :3
In other news: school
School is a pain in the aaaaaaaaaaaaaaass. :3
I hate being a senior XD
I greatly dislike having to write a senior paper
the project is fun, though
um, anything else...
PRETTY CLARINETS! D8 They brought a friggin' Yamaha Allegro to band today and I want it soooooooooooooooooooooooooo bad!
The altissimo range is a piece of cake with that thing! You don't even have to try!
Other than that, I've recently gotten a weird fascination with Alice in Wonderland...even dressed up as Alice on Halloween. Unfortunately, there are no pictures...actually, it's kinda good, that skirt is ridiculously short...
AND I'M SICKLY
let me tell you, that's the last time I get a flu shot
As soon as I got it, I got sick
so now I'm at home being sickly and BLEH
hopefully I'll be able to go demolish the band room tomorrow.
That and football game...
T_T and SATs on Saturday...that's stressful...

But yeah, now for the thingy Hikari did, then featured stuffs.

1. Fill up the blanks with your favorite characters or OCs / Put their names by the numbers, too.
2. Answer the questions, or try to.
3. TAG 3 people. (How about...no)

1. Ralph Meyers
2. Amelia Gregoras
3. Darian Anderson
4. Artemis Gregoras
5. Juliet Petit
6. Aza Shirataki
7. Faolin Gregoras
8. Cian Anderson
9. Seymour Nikolai Lambert
10. Daniel DeLuzio (I forgot if that’s his real last name… )

1. What if 7 (Faolin) and 4 (Artemis) kissed?

Well…they’re siblings…so chances are it’d be purely platonic. One of those European zealous greeting kisses, you know?

2. Where would 2 (Amelia) bury a treasure?

…That’s a good question… probably in some safe that’s at the bottom of some lake under three layers of sand…

3. 6 (Aza) and 10 (Daniel) get into a fight. Who resorts to violence first?

Aza’s definitely the more volatile of the two XD

4. 1 (Ralph) is kidnapped and their kidnapper demands a ransom of 1,000 dollars from 5 (Juliet). Do they help 1 (Ralph)?

Ralph would be stupid enough to get kidnapped, wouldn’t he…Out of the goodness of her heart, Juliet may try to comply, but she really doesn’t know Ralph, so maybe not…

5. Who is stronger? 6 (Aza) or 8 (Cian)?

XD Aaaaaaaaaaaaza. Definitely Aza. Cian’s kind of a wimp…I mean…he doesn’t exactly have the training that Aza has…

6. Who is 3's (Darian’s) secret love?

Well, there is *BLEEP*…but you’re not supposed to know he likes her. :3

7. Can 8 (Cian) juggle?

He can juggle women pretty damn well…

8. 1 (Ralph) is asked on a date by their favorite actor/actress. Do they accept the date?

Probably. He likes his money an awful lot.

10. A Meteor is about to hit the planet, can 7 (Faolin), 2 (Amelia), and 10 (Daniel) stop it?

…three mafia peeps? You bet.

11. Is 9 (Seymour) single?

XD to his dismay

13. Does 1 (Ralph) wish this TAG was over?

He’s really quite indifferent…

14. 8 (Cian) and 7 (Faolin) are dancing to the waltz. 2 (Amelia) comes in and sees them dancing. 2’s (Amelia’s) reaction?

“…Faolin…explain…”

15. 9 (Seymour) and 5 (Juliet) go to the movies. What movie do they see?

XD probably a cartoon, actually…

16. You are attacked by 1 (Ralph), 3 (Darian), and 9 (Seymour). Can you survive?

. . . XDDDDDD
Yeah. Ralph’s a wimp, Darian wouldn’t hit a girl, and I could turn Seymour into a puddle of goo

17. What is 4 (Artemis)'s favorite color?

Silver…or black…or red…

18.Can 7 (Faolin) sing?

XD he’s a beautiful tenor

19. A vampire bites 2 (Amelia). 4 (Artemis) sees this, what do they do?

“D8< I told you not to leave the window open!”

20. All the OC's get into a battle Royal. Who will win?

Hmm….Ralph and Juliet are automatically out…Darian would be pummeled by girls as would Faolin…Cian would be thrown off a bridge…Seymour would cower in a corner…Artemis would tie up Amelia…then flirt with Daniel until he gave up…so Art or Aza? I’m biased, so Art. XD Cuz she’s a ninja and an assassin and a lawyer.

FEATURED STUFFS:

XD you have noooooooooooooooo idea how freaking exciting that is...I like to know that even fake online quizzes think I have more than a normal amount of mental insanity. :3

But before I post the little quiz thing, updates on life?

School has started, this is your cue to sigh or moo like a cow and tell us all how miserable your life is.
.....................
.....................
.....................
.....................
XD wimps.
There are both upsides and downsides to this year...upsides?
I'm a senior.
Downsides?
...I'm a senior...and the underclassmen all think I'm a new Freshman XD

Other than that, life is pretty good. Things have, for the most part, been looking up for me. There was a while that I was super depressed...O.o and I have no idea why...and there are still some things I have to try and figure out including certain people...because certain people are being jerks *COUGHCOUGHHINTHINTEVERYONEWHOWASINTHEBAN DROOMONFRIDAYWOULDKNOW*
But...that's ok, I'll just have to beat certain people up *is such a wonderful non-violent child...*
in any case, I have art this tri, which is super exciting.
I get to xerox my face. XD it's sooooooooooooooooooooooo much fun, you've no idea
and having prompts on how to make my art work really helps with the creativeness. I'd been in the throes of another really deep artist's block...though it did prompt me to work on the soap opera again. I've five page done (I used to have way more...but my art style has changed too much and I don't wanna even see those pages again...), and they should be inked and uploaded and the like soon-ish. No promises, though.

Anything new? Anything new?
...Playing war with =Kiltul at work is super entertaining. XD I managed to kidnap him and keep him by my side so that I wouldn't get bored at work.
