There was a really really tiny centipede in our Sunday School class. I felt bad that I was just staring at it while someone was giving a lesson, but I felt it important to track it. I was following its every move for perhaps 10 minutes when I finally alerted a girl of its presence when it was near her foot. And so it was promptly stomped on. *tear* I mean, by that point, I'd been kinda attached to the little bug and felt quite sad that someone just killed it. I thought they'd perhaps take it outside or something, but nope. Someone said it needed to die. RIP
Winnie and I watched about 20 episodes of some show on YouTube called Mermaid Miracles. (The acting and stuff is pretty amateur, but it still has its moments.) Some guy named Chad (I cracked up at that- Chad is a funny name to me) reminded me of this kid Matt I knew in 6th grade. I'm honestly not sure whether I like-like this kid or not, but whatever. He's on my cool list. He can be funny.
One of my favorite moments was when he had this "WTF just happened?" face on.
He just... he's so hilarious to me. CHAD.
Yesterday, Winnie and I also went to her neighborhood pool and did random stuff there. I kept trying to show her how to swim (like, not even swim-swim, just doggy paddle and the rainbow thing, ya know?) but she was just too scared. Is it really that hard to learn how to swim? I mean, that stuff just seems like instinct to me.
We were there perhaps 45 minutes when some lady came and said the pool is closed and we weren't supposed to be there. We were just like "Okay then..." and climbed out quickly. I know the pool wasn't super clean (had tiny leaves and petals from the trees floating around), but that's basically impossible for outdoor pools! And we'd already seen someone come in a week or two ago... If the pool is supposed to be closed, then why was the gate open? Just saying.
That day, we also did a bit of drawing and watercolors. Pardon the pics- my phone's camera now just won't take the actual pictures, period. I have to screenshot. And I didn't realize until later that there's a little green box on a few of the screenshots... Dang nabbit.
Random person I sketched then colored in crayon. (The whole paper is a mix of marker and crayon.) Probably looked better before the crayoning. His eyes are in marker so the blue would be deeper.
I HAVE PAINTED THE BLOODSEAL!
I'd always wanted to try doing that. Too bad it's ruined by my STUPID PHONE AND PHONE CAMERA RAAAAAWR
I was given a bunch of words for a one-word-prompt by someone called ice-shredder. They're a big fan of angst and stuff, so I couldn't really work with most of the words... but I did manage to make an angsty one-shot with "chains"! (I also suddenly had inspiration for a few lines for a song on Friday, so maybe if I finish that I'll post it.) I also did a little crackish one-shot (like usual) from "rush". I'd planned to post those during the weekend, but Winnie always wants to do stuff with me and my mom's still watching La Fea Mas Bella. I don't mind spending time with the kids, but I am too used to having a lot of time to myself and I'm not really getting many moments alone anymore. Kinda sucks. I'd actually accomplish more reading and writing.
OHMYGOSH so I actually heard Allakai's voice a few days ago! Winnie kept wanting to find out what we were texting about and actually had a short text conversation with him at one point. Then, she asked something neither of us expected.
"Can I call him?"
That seemed, like, taboo before since all we'd ever done is PM on FFN and text. We'd sent each other pics of ourselves very once in a while, but that was it.
So, we finally heard each other's voice.
I always expect my guy friends to have voices that aren't as deep as they really are. *sweat drop* But yeah, it was weird and cool to talk over the phone.
Maybe we'll Skype in a few days!
My, I still haven't mentioned what happened last Monday! We had the Julius Caesar skit, remember? We actually performed it. Apparently, it wasn't that bad.
We didn't really have time to actually practice saying our lines together and blocking out where we'd stand and stuff, because most of the time was spent on getting our costumes ready. Togas are so difficult. *angry tear*
But we went up, did the best we could. I ended up laughing too many times (in my opinion), we had to run to get one or two of the props we'd forgotten to have close by while acting, a long pause had to be filled in with "Caesar is such a salad"... but not too shabby since we didn't have much practice.
We got extra points or all our extra effort (oh! And I got >100% on my research paper because of extra credit too! Without it, I would've gotten 96%) and my final grade in English ended up about 105%!!! Just... wow. *proud to be me*
Last thing. I've started figuring out how I want my cover photo for Visiting Homeland to be. I've decided once I've finished the cover (I haven't drawn the final draft because I want it to be on the same paper as the first, but I probably won't have access to that sketchbook until we're settled in our new apartment), I'll start posting the chapters. I'm gonna just ignore my fear of failure and put them up. If I eventually find an ending, awesome! If I don't, oh well! If I enjoy what I'm writing, others enjoy what I'm writing, and I am supported by the others, then why the heck not?
School in the South is coming to an end... and so is our time here. Next Wednesday we're driving up (instead of going by plane). ROAD TRIP! I hope it'll be a fun experience with my mom and not an awkward one. I'll tell you how that's going next post. Bai!
