Happy Pioneer Day! *throws confetti up into the air*
I kinda puked a few minutes ago (not confetti, though), so... I'm not feeling extremely chipper at the moment (even though everything before this paragraph might indicate otherwise).
This week, not much happened... For once. It was a pretty lazy past few days, just how I'm used to my summers being. I actually ended up not doing any more schoolwork, instead focusing my time on writing the AU I started last weekend, exploring YouTube (most of that devoted to Vocaloid stuff), watching TV with my sis, and later in the week finishing my library books. So, not much to write about.
I think I mentioned earlier that I decided to not go to girl's camp, even though I felt pretty pressured. For whatever reason (maybe part of it being that I'm more stressed than ever), I didn't want to go. I sort of dreaded it. And so, even though I was assured I didn't have to be a YCL (even though they kept telling me I should be), I ended up just deciding to not go, due to it only feeling like it was adding more stress and worry rather than making me excited.
I guess I'm glad I didn't go since I relaxed more than I have had time for in quite a while. That's a little depressing, but true.
They were also asking the girls and women who had gone to share their testimony about camp during Sacrament Meeting, so I got myself out of that. *nervous chuckle*
My mom passed her final test to get her GED! Good for her!
My sister started going to classes at a driving school this week. They were kinda hoping I'd want to start learning too, but I feel like I already have enough on my plate without also worrying about getting a driver's license. And I can't even imagine myself driving yet, so... I think I'm just gonna wait longer, like my sister did.
Did I mention that my sis didn't receive her big suitcase when she was returning from China? Turns out that, due to the tag about the bag coming from China still being on one of the handles (she was in a huge rush in LAX and didn't notice it), they had sent it back to China instead of its final destination, thus how it got lost and they couldn't find it for 3 weeks. But, they finally gave it to her, and she finally has her clothes back, plus all the souvenirs and presents she had gotten for us. She gave me a floral dress and a handmade glass dragon (it's so tiny and silly!), plus a choice of either a panda T-shirt or a mini panda tapestry thing (since the othe thing, plus a panda fan, is going to be given to her boss)... I'm still a bit unsure about which I'll take, because I like both!
She'd also bought a few bags and Engrish T-shirts (they are real!) and some other souvenirs, but I think she was most of all happy to have all of the stuff she already owned back.
Two of her old friends came for movie night on Friday, just like how we used to have all the time a few years ago. (I think both are in this stupid little doodle I drew of a few of her friends prancing in a field all the way back near the beginning of this blog.) I was actually an equal part of the group this time, so that was fun. We watched The Purge: Election Year, Central Intelligence, Hush, and Guardians of the Galaxy (even though it was past midnight and half of us were dozing off at that point). They actually just slept in our living room, since it was 2 AM when we finished the last movie. In the (late) morning, I wanted to watch anime with them (sue to asking if they liked it the night previous), and we ended up watching a few episodes of One Punch Man! I'd wanted to watch it for quite a while, but I guess I didn't have the guts? Fortunately, it isn't as vulgar as I thought it might be, and it was actually pretty funny (and the fights were awesome, of course). My sis hates anime, though, so once she'd come down, we just finished the episode we were on and we watched Babadook. After that, there was just some more One Punch Man and Bob's Burgers before they left in the afternoon.
Oh! I forgot to mention that they stuck around that long because my mom was making tempura! (It was absolutely delicious, by the way.) And today was fondue, though I think I'm gonna be a little more wary of that cheesy goodness from now on... Now that I think about it, I think I've always felt mildly awful after fondue, though never to the degree of throwing up like today. I think I might've eaten too much and that's why... Maybe.
Alrighty then. I guess, now that I have the space, I'll put in random pics that didn't make it into recent posts.
When we went to Hot Topic a few weeks ago, I also decided to get this shirt, since it's the coolest Black Butler shirt I've seen them sell, and it has no chibis nor... um... sexy poses? This one has action in it!
The picture was done in a hurry, since I had wanted to show a friend in Hangouts my shirt, but it'd already been in the laundry basket. It has both sleeves and stuff, don't worry.
This was an assignment to make an ad or commercial for something, and I thought the option of just drawing something was the easiest. My inspiration was my own backpack, which is striped and has my lucky rabbit's foot keychain.
I think I did a pretty decent job making these up on the spot, and they're cute, right? I think girls would actually buy bags like these.
Lastly, these pictures of the sky from over a month ago... My mom just told me to since it was pretty out.
Wasn't that just absolutely exciting?
I guess I'll just finish with telling about my plans... I'm gonna try to get myself to do at least a little bit of school this week. I also need to decide for sure what I wanna do on my birthday, since it's really close. I know that I need to prepare a partial lesson for Young Women's late next month, so we'll see how that goes... Uh, yeah. That's all I got. K bai!
