Drinking: Water
Listening to: iTunes on shuffle
Talking to: Well, I WAS talking to Taylor...
Excited for: YOUMACON!! <3 and NaNoWriMo
Depressed about: Failing my calculus test this morning
Doing: Packing for Youmacon~

This morning suuuuuuucked. I failed my calculus exam. ;3; I just couldn't do most of it. I really think I need some help in it. ^^; I'd go to the student advisor for the class, but he's only around in the morning before class, and there's just no way I can get there that early. I just don't want to. So I'll have to go to the ASC and find a tutor, I guess...

So.... recap! Sunday, my friend Andi and I went to a haunted house--the Realm of Darkness out in Pontiac. It was a lot of fun~ I didn't really get scared that often, but that was probably mostly because Andi was clinging to my arm and she went first through everything. XD I only got scared twice or so, once when they blew air at us after we walked into a completely pitch black room, and another time when Andi screamed. XD And maybe once when someone jumped out at us, I dunno.

We failed at all the riddles and trivia, though, so we didn't get to meet the Wizard and collect prizes. :( We'll have to do a better job next year~

Apparently one of our forumers at ALoP has the Swine Flu. D8 Chiharu claims she has had it for the past three days... I'm sure she'll be fine, but that would be the first person I know who has contracted it. Since I'm going to be around fifty-bazillion people in a closed space during the con this weekend, my aunt insisted she buy me a bottle of hand sanitizer, and I try out those medicines that are supposed to prevent you from getting sick. I forgot to buy them, though. XD;; I still hope I don't get sick with anything, that would suck. Last year I lucked out, but this year I'm staying at the hotel so I have a higher chance of having prolonged contact with potentially sick people... ewww con funk. D:

Yesterday I had my midterm in Short-Stories and Novels. I dunno how I did... I don't think I did extremely well, because I had a hard time with the essay questions, but I hope I did at least decently. It won't do to fail two classes this semester (the other one likely being Calculus). :(

YOUMACON STARTS TOMORROW!!! <333 Today I have a bunch of stuff I need to do (one important thing I still have not done yet...) and then I'll finish up those things and go pick up Andi.

Today I had to:
Clean out my car
Start packing my suitcase--still have to do that
Buy drinks and snacks
Start packing the cooler
Begin packing the car
and charge my DS/rearrange my game case for games I might actually PLAY.

Tomorrow I have to:
Make sandwiches
Finish packing cooler
Finish packing suitcase
Finish packing the car
Organize online things

And then a little before 2 I have to pick up Andi from her class at school. We'll then be coming back to my house, watching Silent Hill (yay Pyramidhead~), and then we'll head off for EPIC FUN TIEMS in Dearborn!

I'm so fucking excited. 8DDDDDDD <33333

I have a big huge list of individual things I have to remember--like my medicine and the batteries for my camera, which I am 60% likely to forget on my own--so hopefully I won't forget anything. XD

NaNoWriMo also starts Sunday~ I'm not so sure I'm going to be doing Precious Wingbeats anymore. It kinda lost the NEW SHINY STORY spark, and I've realized there's a shitload of plotholes and things that don't quite make sense. So I dunno what I'm going to do... I might do Lifeless, but that already has the first chapter written and finished... I could just continue and not count the first chapter in my count, though. I really really should get that story done, I have the whole thing plotted out with lots of scenes to do, so I know I could easily get 50K out of it, and it has been sitting around since March-ish. Might as well use NaNo for a crash-course in getting the story out, yes? :3

I don't know. We'll see. I'll have to decide soon, though, I'm already going to get a bad start because of Youmacon.

I've got to start packing and then go to class, so this is all I can say for now. Goodnight, digital abyss~

Kitsune no Tora is feeling: overwhelmed, tired

Uwoooooh. Yeah. Didn't I say a few blogs back that I wouldn't leave this alone for so long again?

And it has been what, a month since I last touched this? ^^;;;

BAD LISA D8

So... updates, updates.... I had a blank blog just sitting here saved from back in mid-May, so I would assume that that blog was to talk about our new pets. My mom was really missing Jasper after he got squashed, so she had been looking around for shelters to get a new cat or a dog. After that was unsuccessful (the only shelter we could find was a good hour away by car) she turned to the paper. Somewhere around the 17th she found an ad for standard poodle puppies.

We ended up getting a black one, he was about 4 months at the time. His name is Barney, short for Bernard. I went with her to go get him. They were being bred by this little old lady, so they were largely unsocialized and very. VERY. stinky. AND NOT HOUSETRAINED. HE IS STILL NOT HOUSETRAINED. HE CANNOT COMPREHEND THAT THE HOUSE IS NOT A TOILET.

And poodles are supposed to be smart...

Anyway, when he got him, of course the news went straight to the forum. Taylor was uber excited, rofl. XD I asked them for name ideas, because none that we came up with we liked. Taylor insisted on Morgan Freeman (ROFLLL), and thus that became his forum name. I told my mom and sister and they looked at me strange and shot it down immediately. XD In the end it was my mom's decision to name him Barney. I hate it, but he is HER dog. I don't like him much anyway. He's stinky and slobbery and messy. And pees on the carpet. Ick. Amusingly, he's afraid of Pat, my mom's drunkard boyfriend. I guess maybe he had some bad experiences with grown men as a puppy? He's slightly scared of Joey, my brother, but not as much as Pat. And he's around  him more than he is any of us, sans Mom... W/e.

The next day after we got Barney, my mom saw another ad, this time for Ragdoll kittens. She has wanted one of THOSE for like, forever, ever since Jasper died. So of course she jumped on the ad. He was $400. FOUR. HUNDRED. DOLLARS. For a fuzzy little animal weighing a little over a pound. How fucking ridiculous is that? But my mom insisted on it, and my brother and sister really wanted him too. The three of us (my sister, brother and I) split most of it, and my mom paid for the rest and the cat littler/food. I didn't want to spend that much on an animal when we could get a perfectly good cat at some shelter for a quarter of that amount, but they eventually guilted me into it. Taylor helped their points too. :/ She freaked over the cat, rofl. XDD She kept telling me to get it, and I eventually just gave in and forked over my money. ;__;

I wanted to go when they went to get the cat, but my mom flat our refused to let me go and took my sister with her. That was sooooo annoying. I was the one that didn't want to get it, at least let me know that my money will be spent getting one that I want! I asked for one with a black nose and blue eyes, if they had one. BECAUSE THOSE ARE SO ADORABLE EEEE 8DD

Apparently all the ones with that coloring were scratchy and clingy. So the one they got is only one color, and one akin to what natural sugar looks like: Almost cream colored, but slightly brown. Kinda like khaki, but lighter. He's cute and all.

Of course, I mentioned this to the forum. Mima got all excited, and when I asked them all for name ideas, she came up with Fubacu. ROFL. Apparently it's short for "fuzzy ball of cute," and he is henceforth known as Fubacu on the forum.

Again, that was shot down immediately, no surprise there. My sister went on this cat names website to look for names, and discovered "Edward Scissorpaws." HOW FUCKING EPIC IS THAT. XDDD I demanded that be his name, but everyone refused. ;_; We were so bad at coming up with names that my mom just ended up calling him "Squirt," and it stuck. I don't mind it, and it does fit him, but I don't like it much.

He's cute and cuddly and soft, but he's such a BITCH when he's hyper. He attacks everything that moves, tries to demolish my skin (he likes to bite and scratch your hands when he's hyper) and my laptop cords, and gets into everything. DX I like him better than the dog, though, at least he has some good points. XDD

.....ROFLLLLLLL. I just looked up at the tags bar. One of the suggested tags are "fucking gay mom." HOW FUCKING HILARIOUS IS THAT? XDDDDD *is dying with laughter* And where did I mention anything being gay?

Umm... what else did I have to say....

School is a bitch... I have a big trig test I'm NOT READY FOR AT ALL tomorrow morning, and a paper due Thursday for Humanities that I have no idea at all how to even begin researching, which I was supposed to have started about a month ago. And it's 1/3 of my grade. Yeah.............. not good.

At least school will be out in two weeks. Stupid summer classes. Never doing that again. You have to cover and learn the same amount of material as a 15 week class in 7.5 weeks. NEVER AGAIN. TOO MUCH PRESSURE AND WORK FOR  THE SUMMER.

I need a new job though. Since I won't have any classes for the Summer II term, I lose my work-study job then. So I have two weeks to come up with a new job. There's the Burger King a few miles away, but I dunno if I want to work there... but I guess it's better than nothing. A lot of my friends have been having trouble getting jobs. Some didn't get any at all. I'm really worried. My car is out of gas and I'm losing my paycheck. DX

...Oh yeah, I got my car since the last time I posted. It was my uncle's, but he got a new one and said I could have his old one.

I spent the entire day after I got it cleaning it. It STANK SO BAD. UGH. Like old fast food and cigarettes. Now it smells like Febreze and Lysol, rofl. XD It's an old rusted out blue '97 Chevrolet Venture. IT COSTS SO MUCH FOR GAS, THE STUPID THING. I don't need a freaking minivan, I'm the only one in it 99% of the time. I just filled it up halfway about two weeks ago, and I only drive about a mile and a half to school and back maybe 6 times a week. AND IT'S ALMOST EMPTY AGAIN. Stupid thing. :P Gas is too expensive and I don't have a good enough paycheck for it.

But it's a car, and it runs (albeit probably not for very long, it has over 250,000 miles on it), so that's good enough for me, I guess. It still needs a name, though. I wonder what I should name it...

Uwoh, it's like almost 1:00 am. DX I need to study some and go to bed, I have class at 9:30. Further updates soon, hopefully? I know I had more to say, but I really don't remember what it was at the moment. XD;;

Goodnight, digital abyss.
