Hmm what should I say here

So I've been spending the last couple days selling Girl Scout Cookies and drawing OotS fanart. (Not surprisingly, I've gotten to the last page of my sketchbook. I'll be getting a new one soon.) I haven't blogged much in the past few days, so what the heck, I'm typing away.

Luckily, I have no major projects or tests that I'm stressing out about (except that algebra test I took yesterday, I know I got several questions wrong. Oh yeah, and I have that PowerPoint presentation on Charles Darwin due next Wednesday.. but we have time to work on it in class Monday and Tuesday.)

Yeah, um, anyways.. The other day I preformed a monologue in theater, as opposed to working with a partner like everyone else did. I'm not usually a loner, but in my Theater class.. Well, I just wish I'd gotten 3rd period theater instead of 8th. Ah well - next year I'll be taking Art instead, as I've found out that I really don't enjoy theater that much without any friends. Anyways, I think I did pretty good on the monologue, even if I forgot one of my lines. Our next unit is lip sync, which should be fun, as I found someone to work with this time. I wonder what song we'll be doing though.. hope it's something I know. c:

My friend slept over last night, gave me some ideas for some (crack) OOTS fanfiction.. hmm..

Alright, now I'm done with my extremely mundane post. x)

Girl Scouts (and yikes! homework!) T_T

You may not know this, but I have been a Girl Scout since kindergarten. And I like it - I've always liked it - but this year (well, actually, we don't start work on it until next year) I decided that I wouldn't be doing the Silver Award. (For those who don't know, there's a Bronze Award, a Silver Award, and a Gold Award, all of which - but especially the last one - look good on your college application.) All the other girls in my troop are doing it, but this year I've had a lot of homework and I know that the homework will just increase next year. I just can't commit to doing something like that, not when I was considering skipping the meeting today because I had too much homework. Sigh..

Ah well. Just wanted to rant. Now I'm whacking myself for not doing my algebra homework (multiplying polynomials) and that language arts paper. Yikes!

Vaarsuvius <3

Vaarsuvius by ~dictionary-0 on deviantART

I Just finished drawing Vaarsuvius from Order Of The Stick in my own style o:

I drew this with my lovely Wacom tablet and the art program Sketchbook Pro.

I have to say, I like the outcome a lot (especially the hands) c:

(P.S. Vaarsuvius doesn't actually wear shoes, but I hate drawing feet, so.. d:)

More OOTS Stuff!

I now associate a total of four wildly different songs with Order Of The Stick

Tip Of The Iceberg - Owl City (electronic)

Dead Man's Party - Oingo Boingo (alternative)

Through The Fire and Flames - Dragonforce (rock)

TiK ToK - Ke$ha (pop)

o_O

Also.. my mom might take me to a game/comic book store to see if they carry the Order Of The Stick prequel books. The prequel books are.. well, what it says on the tin, but they're only in print, so I really want them. Of course, I want the others too for the ability to read them without being on a computer and to see the extra strips & introductions and such, but I really want the prequels. *.*

Also (2 weeks+ late) I've decided to make a New Year's resolution after all - make more than 50 posts this year! 8D

Oops...

Well! I haven't completely lost hold of my senses - I've decided to research Charles Darwin instead of D&D.. though I suppose that was mostly because no one in my class would know what I was talking about when I did the presentation. *.* Anyways, I've just spent the past hour reading.. yup, Order Of The Stick fanfiction. It took a while for me to finally venture into the thread labeled "Crack Fanfiction" on the OOTS forum, but I did, and while most if it was either disturbing or hilarious, one of the longer stories totally swept me away.

Well, I guess I know what my plans for this weekend are. I wonder which is more reasonable - to be obsessed with a comic strip and its fanfiction or an animated movie and its fanfiction? Probably the latter, but unfortunately my 9 obsession only lasted 2 months.. while I've been obsessed with OOTS since late October.

Oops indeed. (Also oops for making the titles of this post and the last post the same.)

((P.S. If you don't know what I'm talking about when I say OOTS, it's a stick figure comic I've been yakking about since October, found here. If you are familiar with Dungeons & Dragons, it could be funny for you, but I'm not that familiar with it, and I love the comic. *.*))

Oops

I haven't written in a while.

Anyways, in language arts we're about to start working on a research project that will end in a presentation and a 1-page essay. I was searching for topics to do, when I thought of Order Of The Stick. Remember Order Of The Stick? Well, if you don't, it's a webcomic parodying the roleplaying game Dungeons & Dragons. And I've been reading some other D&D parody webcomics, so I got the idea to do D&D for my research topic.

Crazy, huh? I guess it's more like obsessed, but these things really interest me. Huh. By the way, I've now played over 800 games of Doodle Jump (my favorite app on the iTouch). It's really addicting - so addicting, in fact, that in the App Store it's labeled "Warning: Extremely Addictive!"

The start of the second semester has been okay. In science, we began a unit on flowers (today we did a flower dissection) and man, is it boring. Guess I won't be a botanist.

Ah, yikes - I still have that leaf diagram to do. *poof*

REFLECTION TIME!! o_o

Well, I got 9 on Blu-Ray and watched it again. I still have to say it's one of (if not the most) my favorite movies ever. But I watched the newest Star Trek movie on Blu-Ray afterwards, and I also have to say that I found Star Trek more compelling. Oh well.

Oh yes, and happy new year to everybody! Let's see, um.. reflections, reflections. In 2009 I stopped playing Neopets and started playing Subeta, Valenth, and Squiby. I made this blog and then later, my tumblr. I became obsessed with 9 and Order of The Stick. I embraced my inner artist and wrote my first fanfic. (This is all out of order, by the way.) I discovered some new music - Owl City and Three Days Grace especially. I came to love The Big Bang Theory. I found my inner "passion" for drumming - wait, that was fourth grade. But I suck at the drums on Rock Band..

Yeah, I think that's the best reflection I can come up with. It's 2010 now! And as Cyanide & Happiness said:
