:P

Hey guess what! It turns out that, funnily enough, I did NOT reach my 2010 goal of posting 50 posts that year. Almost. Almost. Of course, it was probably because I grew steadily more obsessed with Homestuck and then with Harry Potter fanfiction. No, I'm not ashamed. I did watch HP and the Deathly Hallows part 1, and to be honest I was amazed that I actually liked it at all. I am avidly expecting part 2. Anyways, I doubt I'll really be writing all that much after this - really, I actually forgot it, instead of just procrastinating like last year. Later.

foooooouuuuuurrrrrrtteeeen

well, that's that. I am now 14. And I got some pretty cool loot. Not as cool as last year {tablet} but THAT is because I will be getting a laptop for Christmas, which basically means I won't get anything else exciting {from my parents at least}. It probably won't be a EPIC LAPTOP OF EPICALNESS, but I'm still pretty psyched about it. It'll be more portable, so I can take it on vacation, and... well, it'll be my own. YEAH. Also, my grandmother's dog is having puppies!!! I have not seen any actual puppies in real life since 4th grade. Apparently they'll be born by Christmas, which is when I'm going up there, so I expect them to be super cute!

Alright, now back to my science homework.

more 14th birthday shenanigans

So it turns out that my birthday party can be on the 19th after all! That's very good and I'm excited. The only thing is that I don't know what to ask for this year for a major-ish technological present. Three years ago I got DS games, two years ago I asked for and got an iPod Nano, last year I got a spiffy tablet. But, since I already have an iTouch (durrr durrr durrr) there's not much that I can think of that I want, other than my own computer. But I think my mom's against the idea cause then I'd be shut in my room all day, which is probably true. But the only things that I can think of that I want are soft stuffed animals that I can use as pillows, books, barnes+nobles giftcards, and itunes giftcards. Of course there are other cool things that I would be happy to recieve, but nothing major. I guess I'm just content with what I have :?

One good thing that I am very happy about is that I finally have a door. In 3rd grade when my sister and I's room was renovated, the door was removed so it could be painted, and then something happened and it couldn't be used anymore, and we didn't have a door (soon enough neither did my brother, for unrelated reasons.) Then in 7th grade my sister got her own room and I finally was left to myself again, but I still didn't have a door. Last summer my parents ordered a door. And now finally I have a door. And it shuts all the way. And it's magnetic. And it's painted the same dark purple as the far wall of my room. I like it a lot ^^

Okay one idea I just had for some Homestuck fanart is to design a set of Homestuck playing cards. There are 52 playing cards in a deck, so I figured I'd just assign each troll to a number, and draw each of them 4 times. That only makes 48, so I would draw 1 kid for each of the 4 aces. The way I'm imagining this I think it would be really cool but honestly I don't think I could make it turn out that well. Maybe if I had more time - and more skill.

Okay well I guess that's all I have to say for now! I'm glad that I manage to keep this blog going, even though probably only one or two people read it anymore. Derp!

shenanigans

Okay so my birthday is coming up soon and JEEZ I have not posted ANYTHING on this blog in far too long. I mean I haven't posted anything on my other blogs either but I've been especially inactive on this one. But, on the other hand, I have been getting a good bit more active on my DeviantArt!

Anyways. Back to my birthday. It's on the 16th, but my party is going to be a sleepover so normally it'd be on the weekend before or the weekend afterwards.. Turns out there are some problems with that. I really would rather not have it on the 12th or the 13th because then one of my best friends wouldn't be able to come, but my mom was planning on hosting some crafting party on the 19th so it can't be then. BUT three of my best friends wouldn't be able to come nearly at all if it was on the 20th! And the next weekend after that is Thanksgiving! Gaaahhhh! However, my mom said that she'd try to move the crafting party to the 21st. Maybe that'll work @_@

My nose has been very clogged up lately, and it's quite annoying. I've also been coughing a bit, but not nearly as much as my brother or mother, so hopefully I won't have to take meds for it. Part of it might just be seasonal allergies anyways. I really hate those, because they mean that my nose is runny for about 2/3 of the year. Ugh.

I am really beginning to enjoy my tablet, even moreso than when I first got it. I would definitely recommend it to any aspiring artist who has any interest in digital work.

Okay, I guess that's about it. Yay for [slightly] lengthy posts!

I am still alive.

Man, I just have not been updating this blog! I've been too obsessed with Homestuck, I guess. But let me just say that I've finally begun regularly writing/drawing again, even if it is just fanfic/fanart. Alright, that is basically it. Sorry for being veeeeeeeery inactive!

homestuck and civilization v!

so, first of all, Civilization V (aka Civ 5) came out on Tuesday. And we FINALLY got ahold of it. I'm installing it right now and expect it to be suitably epic. But I've been rather distracted from the whole thing today because of a certain webcomic...

No. Not Order of the Stick. OOTS is hilarious and one of the best webcomics ever. But that's just the thing, see. The time has come when I call OOTS 'one of the best' instead of 'the best'. Because in my mind, that top position has been claimed by..

Homestuck.

It probably has to do with the apocalyptic plotlines, all the epic music (music is the way to my heart. it's true) and the whole of Hivebent, the troll plotline from act 5. mmmm.

Ah! Steam has finished downloading Civ 5! Time to play!

birthday!

so today my friend and I had an inspiration: we will {EDITED TO PREVENT FRIEND FROM SEEING} birthday parties! {EDITED TO PREVENT FRIEND FROM SEEING}! it'll be excellent. I won't say just all of what it will involve, because that might ruin the surprise for those real-life friends of mine that are reading this. you'll know if i'm talking to you. 8D

also, the amount of planning i've put into my birthday party this year may well be more than all the other planning i've put into all my other birthday parties combined. i am so excited! i would elaborate, but i have to go to bed now. two months, four days. ^_^
