Happy Easter, world!
Okay, I probably wouldn't have said that so enthusiastically in real life, since I kinda had the stomach flu yesterday. (Well, I guess I felt a little bit the symptoms the day before- lacked an appetite, for the most part, and my stomach felt a little weird- but DANG did it hit hard yesterday.) I feel so much better today, which I'm sure I can thank getting a blessing for, but I'm still not at 100%. I'll have to do some studying later today for my chem and math tests, nonetheless, since I was too out of it to do earlier in the weekend.
So it was Spring Break for my high school, but I still had concurrent classes, of course. It was a little weird working on the college's computers and printers instead of my high school's, but I think it was a benefit for me to work there, since college students are a lot quieter than high school students, lemme tell ya.
Though I felt like I did pretty decent with making the most out of my time in school, and I found out the deadline for my English assignments is later than I previously thought, I'm still pretty dang worried about finishing everything on time and still maintaining an A in everything. I'd be happy with my grade just barely counting as an A, but it'd be so disappointing if it came out lower than that.
There's some good news, though! I think I said my dad was gonna be back this weekend on the last post? Turns out he was arriving even earlier! He got here on Thursday. We celebrated with going to the African restaurant. The day after, me, Mom, and Dad ended up going to watch a movie, but going to Wienerschnitzel first. (I'd never eaten anything there before except ice cream, so I am happy to report that the normal food wasn't that bad!) We watched Sing! which, as we expected, was really good. Now, what happened next was a new experience for all of us: my dad had said before that, if there weren't enough seats for Sing!, that we could go watch The Lego Batman Movie. When we came out, they were gonna play Lego Batman in approximately 40 minutes, so... we went to grab some things my mom needed from Dollar Tree (along with some snacks), and then came back to watch Lego Batman. (The lady at the ticket counter had said, "So, a double-feature, huh?", clearly as amused as we were by the situation.) So, that was the first time we watched two movies at the theater on the same day, plus the first time I watched the same movie twice in the theater! (Granted, it'd been a while since my dad and I saw The Lego Batman Movie the first time, and this time was at the cheap theater, but it definitely counts still!)
I'm really happy that I got to spend some time with my parents like that, even if that meant that I didn't really do much schoolwork on that day...
Oh! There was more stuff that we did on Friday besides the hot dogs and movies! That morning, I had an appointment at the clinic to get an ultrasound. The doctor doing the ultrasound said he was pretty dang sure that it was a... hold on, lemme see if I can find the word he'd used on Google... I think he called it a "fibroadenoma"? Or something like that? Apparently, those have to do with hormones getting wonky and all that fun stuff women deal with between the start of puberty and start of menopause. *sarcastic* Awww yeeeaaahhh.
Basically, there's a really tiny chance that it'll do anything bad like get really big, and I hardly have anything to worry about. *thumbs up*
After the appointment, my dad wanted to stop by Beyond Glaze for some donuts. As usual, they were delicious.
Something great was that "The First Deal", that longer one-shot I sent to the TAU page, got posted! (And one of the mods said about it "This is really sweet and more than good!" or something like that, which really felt awesome to hear.) I'm still debating whether to post it here or not... I mean, I never intended to use this blog for fanfics (and not just because I wasn't even into them when I first made this blog), but I feel weird about posting them on FFN, and as far as I can tell, things often get deleted from Tumblr... as in whole pages, not single posts. BUT there's so many things that I wrote that I've just kept for myself and didn't really care about sharing, and giving TAU a priority of always being shared doesn't feel right... But, even though it's definitely one of my longer one-shots, I'm pretty sure it's not any longer than my lengthiest posts that I just posted on a regular basis... Agh, I don't know!
Uh... let's go with... no, for now. And I'll just put it up if something happens to the version I sent. How's that sound?
Update on the ask related to Azul's story... it still hasn't been answered. However, I'm no longer so worried about it not getting answered eventually. Someone else sent an ask with the same concerns as I had, and one of the mods replied that most indeed do get answered, it was just that the ones that involving worldbuilding (which I'm sure mine fits in the category of) couldn't always be answered straight-away because the mods themselves don't always know the answers! They have to wait for inspiration to strike in order to know how to answer those. So, that's most likely what's gonna happen to mine. At least I know that I wouldn't really have much of a chance to work on the story now anyways- most of the writing itself would have to done next month and/or in the summer- so it's not like the work is being pushed further than it would be otherwise. As long as they come around to it within the next few months, it won't really be much different than if they'd answered it already.
Since I have the time to get to it, I guess I'll touch on another small project I've wanted to do... This one is drawing instead of writing, though. So, a few nights ago, I'd been reminiscing on last October 3rd, how I'd done my best to dress FMA. As I fell asleep, I was imagining doing a photo shoot with outfits very similar to that and just a traditional Ed cosplay (though just with my normal hair), and even a silly one where I was dressed as Al and my sister as Ed, and we were both wearing appropriate reactions to our difference in height (which, admittedly, is bigger than the difference between Ed and Al in canon, but it's still the same hilarious situation). I'm hardly a good model, so I doubt I'd pull off such good pictures as the ones I was imagining, but that's why I was enjoying looking at the pictures in my head rather than real life! (Technically unrelated, but I forgot to mention that my sis did a bridal shoot, but the pictures were taken by Captain, or by my mom when sis and Cap were posing together. Some of the pictures looked really good!)
Anyway, it started, as I said, with Ed outfits and similar, but then my brain started drifting more toward Ed-inspired fashion, if that makes any sense? Like, I saw the black pants and combat boots, but then the red coat was lined with a dramatic petticoat, or everything that was originally red was now black and black was red, and the hair was twisted into fancy side-braids rather than a normal braid, and stuff like that made me think, "I so wanna draw that." I still haven't pulled out my notebook to actually do these sketches, but I've kinda been itching to do it. I sorta feel like I shouldn't until all my school stuff is taken care of, though, so I don't know if I'll do that or just draw this anyway and avoid using any more time that day for Facebook and Youtube and whatever else I waste my time with.
I think that's pretty much it. We'll see how everything goes... *crosses fingers*
