Uhh... hi?
Didn't I say a long time ago that I wasn't going to leave this for such a long time again?
...I guess I lied. XD Oops.
ANYWAYS...
Since the last time I posted, school has started. I have class Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. Mondays I have Calculus I 11-1, Tuesdays I have Short-Stories and Novels 1-4, then Career Planning 6-9, and Wednesdays I have Calculus I again 11-1, and then a (annoyingly easy) Word Processing class 6-9. Not toooooo busy of a schedule, but Calculus is kicking my ass. D8 I suck at trigonometry, so I fail terribly at all the problems involving that stuff. ^^; We just got done with limits, I think I did pretty decent on the exam this morning, but I'm not positive. It was hard. D8
Today I hit an animal driving through campus on my way to get some lunch. I was driving down the road and this squirrel just jumped right in front of my car. I braked a little, and I didn't feel anything or see anything in the road in my rearview mirror, so I'm hoping that I didn't actually hit him. But it made me sad anyway. :(
I want something (preferably living) to cuddle. But I'm not going to ask any of my family (eesh no), and my kitty Squirt is the most uncuddly cat ever. He doesn't like to be held for very long and he will NEVER sit on your lap. The most you can get is him sitting next to you. I had to trick him this morning to sit on my lap - I was in the living room on the couch and had a blanket over my legs because I was cold. I stuck my hand under and moved it around, and he jumped into my lap trying to get my hand under the blanket. He stayed there. :) But it was only because he didn't realize he was on my lap...Too bad I had to trick him, though. :/ I really hope he grows out of it.
YOUMACON IS IN 22 DAYS!! I'm so super duuper excited. 8DDD Too bad my cosplay fell through. :( I took a last ditch attempt to get the right fabric so that my aunt could make it for me (she's a talented seamstress, and I know if she made it it wouldn't fall apart or anything and be of good quality), and now it's too late to order one. :( They say it takes 25-30 days just to ship it out to me, and probably somewhere around a week after that before it gets on my doorstep, since it would be coming from Hong Kong. :/ *sadface* Andrea said that I should still find something simple enough and cosplay, but I have absolutely no idea who to do. She said she'd look some up for me, though, so we'll see how that goes.
...Maybe I can find some overalls/coveralls, a blonde wig, a peach bandana and make a cardboard wrench and go as Winry Rockbell, haha. XD That could work... I dunno. I'll have to think about it. I want to do something that is easy, but not stupidly simple, like L from Death Note or something. Those are just lazy. :P
I'll definitely do Riza next year, though. And maybe someone from Hetalia, I dunno. 8D I'm partial to Italy~ He's so cute. <3 Plus it would be an excuse for me to act like a dork (moreso that I would normally at an anime convention. :P).
I WONDER IF WE'LL FIND JESUS AGAIN. XDDD And I hope they have Death Note Mafia again, that was a lot of fun, despite the douchebag who decided to act like a pompous smart-ass and ruin everyone's fun halfway through the night last year. I just hope it doesn't coincide with Mario Party After Dark again, I really wanted to go to that, but couldn't tear myself away from the game. XD We played it from like, 11 to 4 in the morning last time, it was a blast.
We should also totally do Otaku Family Feud again, we killed everyone at it last year. Pocky Brigade FTW! We'll need to find Jessica again, though, I didn't get any contact information from her. Maybe Andi did...
Aaaaaand NaNoWriMo is gearing up again! I'm both super excited but ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED at the same time. ^^; I've been having a lot of problems writing recently. I can see and imagine the scene in my head, and it's great. The words flow through my head perfectly. But when I go to put it on paper/document, it just... dies. No words come. It's insanely annoying. Hopefully I can break that before November. I'm already going to get a bad start because of Youmacon (the last day is November 1st, and after that I'm going to be completely wiped and have no will to write anything), so I really really hope that gets broken soon.
I decided to go ahead and do the sequel to Duplicity as my NaNo novel. Except it's slowly becoming too AU to be the true sequel. XDD; PLUS, Duplicity isn't actually DONE, I even went so far as to restart it because it sucked. ^^; So I'm technically writing the sequel to a story that hasn't been written yet. SO SMART Y/Y? Especially since I'm an extremely linear writer, I just can't jump around in my story. It just ends up weird and doesn't feel right. That's PROBABLY why Precious Wingbeats (working title of the sequel) is becoming so intensely AU. ^^;;;; Oh well. I've been using an outlining technique called the Snowflake Method, and so far it has been doing me some good. I've actually got things down; I guess restricting myself to your normal outline format was what was blocking me from creating previous outlines. I'm on stage 3 with Precious Wingbeats, and plan on trying it all the way through. I'm just too lazy right now to plot out all the characters, since I know them all pretty well at this point...
CAN'T WAIT UNTIL THE END OF THIS MONTH OMG. <333
I've been so intensely sleepy a lot recently. It's weird. I get enough sleep: anywhere between 7 1/2 and 10 hours. That's what I've been getting for most of my life now. But it just feels like I need a nap all the time, except during some points of the day. I have the hardest time EVER getting up. I feel like I need naps during the day (which I have never done in my life except on occasion). I don't know why... my lifestyle hasn't changed at all. Maybe it's a mental thing? But what would make me want to sleep all the time? Idk. :/ Oh well.
...I must be sitting weird, because my wrists are starting to hurt from the typing. D8 I guess I'm done for tonight.
Goodnight, digital abyss.
Is 12 Month Internet Millionaire really gonna help you make money online because most internet marketing products are usually some washed up and re-hashed material that leaves you more confused than anything.
I have bought and read a lot of internet marketing products, and I would have to say that most of them are over hyped and just don’t deliver on their promises.
12 Month Internet Millionaire was created when Russell Brunson interviewed marketing expert Vince James. In this interview Russell grills Vince for over 6 hours getting him to reveal exactly how Vince was able to earn $77 million in one year using secrets that only a select few know...
As some, or maybe most of you, know - I'm against all types of abuse. Whether it be animals or human beings. It pains me to believe that child abuse, or even abuse in general, happens every day - every hour, every minute, every second. It's really hard to think about.
So, in dedication to the abused and those who have left us due to abuse - I post this video. Try hard not to cry. Really.
Black History Month, starting as Negro History Week, began as an effort by Carter G. Woodson to recognize the valuable contributions Black Americans have made in the United States and throughout the world. Black History Week was initiated in 1926, and evolved into Black History Month in 1976. Black History Month has been celebrated in American schools since the 1970’s thanks to the efforts of Dr. Woodson. Dr. Woodson, known as the "Father of African-American History", wrote many books and articles to make people aware of African- American history and achievements.
Black History Month (minorities) February is designated as the month to highlight and celebrate the contributions of African Americans to American history and society. Many elementary schools and secondary schools plan special classes, events and field trips to teach all students the importance of blacks in American history.
Black History Month celebrations:
Black History Month celebrations are held in February in the United States with that purpose in mind. They help people of African descent keep their past and their present history in a healthy balance, and they help people of all cultures recognize the cultural contributions of African Americans.
Throughout the bible god continually calls people to recall the events that symbolize god’s saving power in their history. The feasts that were established in Israel helped the people remember and celebrate their past. For the same reasons, given the centrality of Christian faith in the history and lives of African Americans, it is important to remember and celebrate as a church the spiritual contributions of African Americans. The liturgy outlined in this appendix can be used by any church to celebrate Black History Month. In looking over this outline you also may find liturgical elements that can be incorporated into other multicultural liturgies.
It should be clear that the celebration of Black History Month does not have to be confined to a single liturgical celebration. Communities can focus on a different element of African American spirituality on each Sunday of the month of February. For example the first Sunday in February could be a celebration of the African American church, highlighting its style of worship, the role of the black clergy, and the various functions the black church has played in the history of black people.
The second Sunday could focus on black music. Examples of the different forms of black church music, the Negro spirituals, gospel, metered hymns, and congregational singing – just to name a few – could be presented. Black music should be considered not just as an art form but as a survival form.
The third Sunday could be used to look at the black family experience. This could be an intergenerational experience with grandparents, great-grandparents, newly married individuals, single parents, fathers, and mothers called on to share their experiences. It would be interesting to have children and youth speak about the joys, problems, stresses, and satisfactions of family life.
Why Weed Black History:
Black History Month observed in February each year, will almost certainly tax the resources of my library media center. You may be reluctant to discard any title regardless of age or condition. But the heavy use is the very reason you must weed to prevent the extensive exposure of inappropriate or physically unattractive titles. Weed and add some new titles each year before the national observance of Black History Month.
Weeding black history titles requires a little knowledge about the beginning of this observance. In 1926 Carter Godwin Woodson founded Negro History Week, which was changed to Black History Month in 1976. Politics correctness of terminology does nto requires you to weed such primary source materials.
Black History Month was established to recognize African American contributions to society in all fields of endeavor, be sure that your collection reflects a wide range of contributions, not just popular figures in sports and entertainment.

It took me most of the summer of bitching to Randy about my dog needing a dog house. Last month he went and got me the materials to build it but of course didn't build it. Left it to me.
I finally got it done yesterday! Two days ago I started it and got frustrated because I tried doing it Randy's way but he just couldn't grasp what I wanted to do. So I went into town and got my friend Tab and her man Joe to help me out. Tab like me took shop in school and Joe was there for the muscle. Tab picked up on exactly what I wanted to do.
She took my lil drawing of an A frame dog house and helped me figure out how to get it together and Joe did all the moving of peices and holding while Tab and I drilled in the screws. Then after we got it all done; Joe and I moved it up on the kennal pad! Big enough for my Great Dane Pup wouldn't you say!?
I am so proud of myself. Rnady is gone all the time and I am Baching it (according to my Uncle whom I rent from!) I have to do all the Honey do List myself. It is taking me forever but they are getting done!
Yesterday I crossed off build the dog house! Tonight I crossed off weedeating! This weekend I am hoping to cross off fix wall and finish priming the kitchen!
I am becoming myself again! I don't need no stinking man! I use to do all these things myself and became way to dependent on Randy. Might keep him around as long as he stays out of my house for a few weeks at a time!
