;_; Has anyone else took a good look at their callendar and had a decent shock to their system? One and a half weeks to go? Already? Where did my summer go?
This has turned out to be one of the worst summers ever - and I'm saying that keeping in mind the summer we moved into this house and I went without internet for a good few months... 
It's not as if everything that's happened this summer has been awful; it hasn't. But none of it has really been good. I got to hang out with catldr24 and paraparalover a couple of times. That's it. This summer has had nothing else going for it, nothing else happening, and now I just feel sick and empty about it. It's just been a lot of nothing sprinkled with increasingly stupid parental nagging and "homework" (my mom's name for optional extra credit work I don't give a hell about doing). 
That noted... has anyone else looked at the supply list on the school website? I'm finding it kind of hilarious that art is one page and everything else in the school fits on the second page. XD Is that not a sign that the department is underfunded/ Mrs. Mag is absolutely crazy? Granted, 2/3 of it is Photography... but come on. In most cases, we do not use that much different stuff in art class. And that's not even the AP list. Do they really need all their kids to buy them that many sponges and sharpies? Aren't those two items a tad conflicting?
Oh, jeez but... god damn. I want to work on art. But I don't want to my assignments. There's something humiliating and crude to the lot of them, and I can't freaking take it. I don't mind doing art... that I haven't decided on. Put me in front of something, ask me to draw it, okay, I can handle that. Ask me to try this technique, okay, I can handle that. But I can't do a real 'piece' inspired by something that inspires someone else and not me. That's... that's not okay.
So I've decided the rest of my art for the summer will be my art, and she can shove it if she doesn't like it. I mean, for godsakes, it's extra credit. At worst it won't count - and then, I'll use it for my concentration.

PS. NOW I HAVE NATHAN FILLION SINGING "A MAN'S GOTTA DO WHAT A MAN'S GOTTA DO" STUCK IN MY HEAD. THANK YOU DR. HORRIBLE.

Changed the banner from L'Arc to xxxHOLiC. I felt like the other banner was just sloppy-looking. I don't know how I feel about this one yet either... but you know. I'll probably change it again eventually. 

I love my job. Love, love love my job. It's challenging, but the environment is so fun and friendly, I couldn't imagine working anywhere else.

Of course, one of my managers is a bit serious. I always get the feeling I'm doing something wrong when she's looking on, no matter how hard I'm working. And of course, under her watchful gaze, I get nervous, so I'm more apt to fuck up. But I think I'm making progress. After two weeks on the floor, I finally graduated to register. I'm going to be enhancing my training on register more in the coming weeks. It's more complicated than I expected -- running credit card receipts is a lot more complicated than using a credit card to do self-checkout at Walmart -- but I think I'm getting the hang of it. Hopefully tomorrow I'll have more than a dozen customers to practice on, if the hurricane doesn't come back for round 2 again.

But one thing makes me curious; what it is about being a vegetarian that people find so objectionable? You should have seen the looks I got when I added my order of bean curd to the list of food everyone was ordering from Chinese, followed by several speeches on "my view on eating meat is....". Those speeches never go well; the moral is always how vegetarianism is pointless at best and hypocritical at worst. It's like they're offended that I won't eat meat.

I've never tried to force my eating habits on other people. I've always fended for myself as far as finding veggie-friendly alternatives on just about any menu. I've even discouraged people who offered to alter their own eating habits in my presence to make me comfortable, stating that I feel everyone should be entitled to eat what makes them comfortable.

So what is it about me being a vegetarian that makes people want to change what I feel comfortable eating? I don't prevent people from eating meat, so why try to convince me to eat meat?

If I was a diabetic, would people try to debate me into having sugar? Ok, that's a health thing, so bad example. How about this? If I was Jewish, would people try to convince me of why I was wrong not to eat pork? Are people so disrespectful of other peoples' right to their own opinions?

Seriously. I'm asking. I know at least a half dozen of the folks on my flist are Jewish; do people ever give you attitude about your dietary quirks without respecting the deep-rooted morals behind them?

Thank God I haven't brought any Boca products to work (yet)....

Just bored evening/night pondering, now.

Of course when I can't think of anything else to do, I start typing (both kinds lol) which I know is kind of sad, but it's kind of a convenient thing to do when there is nothing else to really do. :/ I actually think all my "best" friends ( doi2life, paraparalover, and catldr24) are NFP's (cat & doi2life are INFP's and I think para might be an ENFP, but he's hard for me to type~!)... which is interesting to me. I guess since I'm such a hard thinking T I need Fs to support me/ keep me sane, but they need to be F's that I share enough in common with (NP) that I don't go crazy on that front, either. I can't see myself as being best buds with an S or a J, although as regular friends that's perfectly fine. NFP's are introspective/idealist/advocates on the keirsey sorter, while INTP is an introspective/rational/engineer. 

I'm actually not sure that I'm friends with any SJ's. Am I friends with any SJ's? (Holler if you are!)
The only person I can think of who I'm 99% sure is an SJ is Caitlin, and she's not really a friend (more like an acquaintance that keeps on popping up within my circle of friends) and kiiinnnddd of crazy. *cough*. I think she could be a seriously OCD 1 ISTJ or ESTJ. 

OMG the wiki article:
"An INTP is not shy about using a tool for something other than its original purpose, or creating a new tool to serve a desired purpose. INTPs cause no end of frustration to ESTJs and ISTJs with this improvisation, as despite their best effort they cannot make the same intuitive leaps which come naturally to the INTP. On the other hand, they are quick to smugly point out when the INTP must stop in the middle of a project to puzzle over the previously discarded instructions, which the -STJ read at the start."  
LMFO=describes interaction perfectly so I am right lol



My family is typed! (Da-da-DA!)

So, yeah. The dentist visit went really well yesterday. After that I didn't do much...

paraparalover IM'd me and introduced me to http://global.gmarket.co.kr/, which is similar to yesstyle but much cheaper (at least, until you come to shipping, which is based on item weight), which I've figured is due to it being a place where individual "sellers" can sell for lower costs after they've bought it themselves wholesale or something like it. Still - can you really beat foreign T's for $1.90? Even if they're low quality, that's still nice. So I'm kind of contemplating a bit. (haha.) I'm still trying to be good and save my money the best I can, though, so I'll at least wait a while before I do.
At the same time yesterday, I decided to perform surgery on my gray knit cardigan (Of which on sleeve had started to unravel) and rather than actually repairing said seam I decided to carefully cut off the sleeves and make it a hoodie vest. It turned out pretty well, considering I accidentally damaged it myself at one point (I started cutting up the shoulder instead of the sleeve by mistake). My backwards blanketstitching doesn't look half bad. 
Then I experimented and turned one of the sleeves (Mr. Unravelled to begin with) and turned it into a (rather cheaply constructed) cowl. Considering my laziness, it actually doesn't look half bad either, and I'll probably post pictures of both of them in a little bit.
Then this morning my mom ran out to riteaid to get the Sunday paper (for the coupons) and found they were having a sale on cheap plain T's, so now I have new red, tan, and neon yellow (!!) T's. Yaaay. I'm afraid to perform any surgeries on them, yet.
I actually finished up a surgery yesterday, too, that had been going on for a while, with an old (designer?)(lol it's expensive but that is a funny bandana. I think my sister had the shirt that matched it) T my uncle bought me in middle school, which I made into an interesting tank/haltertop combo thing that'd look best layered. Unfortunately, so far I haven't found any clothes of mine look good at all layered under it, so I'm still figuring that out. It also still looks pretty worn out, so I might buy some dye and try to darken the color again (it's black), and the front collar might look better lower than it is? I got lazy and so the 'halter' part is braided, but it actually doesn't look terribly bad. It's got a very cute picture of owls and bats on it. .3. But the young ones are confused and have swapped places on their little branch.
So that's it, I guess! 

 

 
P. S. Makani's art is loly truthfulness. XD Even the haters like me gotta agree on that one.

As I'm sure most of you know, I have been on-and-off all summer, attempting to be crafty, theoretically practicing for a time when I can make all my own clothes, been trying to sew random things.

I don't know if you can sense where this is going.

So I decided today, "I'll try hand-sewing a little bit" and then I thought, "it probably isn't so bad to make a fingerless glove/sleeve thing".

._________.

Can you see where this has headed yet?

For one thing I ended up going to my sewing machine, mainly because my hand sewing is fail and it is TIRING. And then there comes the design of the the thing.
I ended up using a little bit of neon green spandexy fabric I had that I cut out and kept from some old swimming trunks (lol I don't think you really call the girl's ones that) that I wore maybe one time, some stretchy green netting fabric that I kind of took got from my art teacher, some white pseudo-satin scrap that ejects fuzz, and some decent stretchy white polyester stuff.

I'm sure you're seeing now where my design plan fell apart.

What came out was a strange neon-green-and-white piece of work that is horrifically remincent of both poke`mon and a lot of crap out of nintendo games. You can almost envision the white pipes looking at it, and I personally half expect it to leak coins or rupees or something of the like. Or that I should weild a poke`ball wearing it. It's also hilariously missized - it's apparent that my mental measuring skills, um, suck, the 'palm' covering half of all of my fingers while the thumb juts out bizarrely due to my strange idea that the top of the hand fabric and the bottom of the hand fabric might work better different sizes. (Yes, I am seeing the flaw in this design in its entirety now.) I, infact, actually ended up having to wear it reversed (me originally intending for the netting to be on the palm and the solid to be on my backhand) because my design was that bad.

Going to the dentist's today! My appointment is at I think 8 AM?
yayyyyy.

No, actually I'm too sleepy to feel excited about it. 

dammermaid , спасибо за грибы!


В лесу были всякие грибники, паутины, птицы и насекомые. Инку очень понравился поход. Вот только поганок и мухоморов слишком много.  А ещё было место а-ля Фоллаут. Красотень.

Shawn Johnson is adorable and she's SUCH a good gymnast. I forgot what night it was but she did one routine that was so amazingly good. I'm kinda sad she only got Silver last night, but unfortunately named Nastia deserved it :) She kicked all kinds of butt last night. Her floor routine was riveting and I usually hate the floor routines!!

I honestly don't see everyone sexual appeal with Michael Phelps. He's really REALLY awkward looking. Amazing athlete (I love watching him swim) and built for swimming, but not what I would view as attractive. Not that he's hideous, just goofy looking. I just don't get women sometimes.

Men's indoor volleyball is dumb. And the synchronized male divers creep me out.

The olympics make me feel like...wow what am I doing with my life. Haha I'll just be an olympic Emily I guess.

Also am I the only one watching the olympics besides my family and roommate!?

Last night was fun. Deli was going to drive out to the desert with her sister Estelle for a funeral but they decided not to go for various reasons. SOOO Estelle stayed over and we had sushi which was pretty decent and then messed around on campus taking stupid pictures of each other. Quite amusing. Then we got back and watched the olympics until 1 in the morning.

One of my wounds is also bleeding a little.

I really want a hot dog.

WORK CONTINUES TO BE DULL D:

Okay, so I'm not so mad anymore. I mean... since I found out right before going to bed last night. I'm okay now. I've signed the petition...
EW is angry, too... The only people who aren't are aren't HP fans, it seems... so... yeah...

But I'm okay, because I've done my part already. =__=; It's just more or less... annoying at this point... y'know?

Someone mentioned it having to do with the Theme Park opening in '09, but it says on their site (with unbelievably loud and annoying music that I do not know how to shut off) that it comes out in '10.  

But, yeah. On a lighter note? Snape's house looks brightly lit in the picture. o_o

EDIT: Good Merlin a HOWLER CAMPAIGN! :D :D :D JOIIIINNN MEEEE. That's so wickedly awesome!
I cannot resist that like omg. Even better than online petition and boycotting. SO COOL REBELLION.  

EDIT: I made me an icon but I might change it (actually, about 95% will). :/ But I'll still probably make a post in the hpicons comms for all the hypers who want 'em (I'm making a bunches for them). I'm not exactly very intensely into this (despite my rambling and activism lol), except, you know, I kind of like rebellion/sticking it to the man in general, and I love the HP series in general. So generally I feel a need to participate, rite? 
But I'm almost having more fun being with the hypers about it. The universe can argue with anybody, but I honestly have a lot of respect for avid fans of anything, even if I hate their fandom and they're idiots, because they're so dedicated and powerful. It might be a superficial concept to some, but don't you think being dedicated means you have something to live for, and real meaning in life? So really, while half of me is irritated to hell by this whole entire 'scandalous affair', part of me is very strangely inspired by the masses. 
I have a weird, whacked up concept of what oughtta bring me delight. ;) But I'm proud for the fanbase, righty-o?

Okay...
You guys know how like... I've been gearing up... all year... *somewhat* subtley... but deep down...
"Yay~ I'm going to see HBP a couple of weeks after my birthday~ It's going to be awesome~"

._____________________________________________________________________.

"Filming began on September 24, 2007 and the film was originally planned for a UK and US release on November 21, 2008, but on August 14, 2008, it was announced that the release date for the film was to be pushed back to July 17, 2009."

Tommorrow they will also be releasing Entertainment Weekly's Fall Movie Preview, with HBP on the cover. 

WARNER BROS. IS STUPID. 
D'''''<

So I guess now it's catldr24's birthday gift instead of mine.

-Is (very girlishly) trying hard not to cry right now.- 
 
 
http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/harrypotter6 <- Yep, this cheered me up quite a bit! I'm 5320.

So I'm back into a more human form. Only slight pain and a little bit of wooziness in the morning, but other wise I'm quite well again!

I got dropped from all my summer school classes today. WOOOO-- only not really. It was some bogus shit about how my payment never went through, even though we pay automatically and NEVER HAVE HAD A PROBLEM. Yes even for summer school which is, for some damnded reason, "different."

I'm having issues with my paycheck as well and the lady who deals with it isn't here until the 18th AND the woman who's supposed to take care of it won't return my phone calls. I don't know what's going on with this. I guess I'll try the replacement again.

In other news: I'm actually WATCHING the olympics this year, partially because I got started when I was at home on the couch at my parents for the better half of this week. It's surprisingly exciting and fun. Then agian I enjoy sports. I think either the swimming or gymnastics (though I hate the floor routines) is my favorite. I also have been enjoying watching women's volleyball. Misty May and Kerri Walsh are phenomenal and sooo fun to watch.


My sister and I are on the mend, I think. I dunno, she gave me this yesterday because she had an extra. It was a nice gesture and I kinda took it as a peace offering (the only way my sister ever says sorry). So we'll see. I'm still pissed at her though.


( THE REAL REASON FOR THIS POST )

Скачиваем и ставим на рабочий стол!










И ещё Подросток-инвалид, которого в клипе не было )))

I have this kind of habit.

Well, I finally got to speak to my guidance councelor, who says she's not able to sort out my schedule until Monday. 
So I thought... you know... I wonder how my schedule will work out. So I looked at the classes on the website (which are probably all outdated/last years but, you know how teachers usually keep their schedules relatively the sameish) and I decided to try and figure out how it would probably work out.
And if I'm right, there's a definite pattern as to how my schedule winds up every year. XD There's always a "hard day" and an "easy day". Plain and simple. 
Here's what I've guessed:

http://lynx.moy.su/load/0-0-0-1-20
Клип Инку по "Розе Версаля". Такого клипа вы точно не видели. Весит чуть меньше 10 МБ. Надеюсь, зрители будут довольны )))

Поэтому на канале 2х2 крутили самый траурный мультсериал в мире - "Приключения Рекса". Да уж, это траур. Хорошо, что "Лентяево" не отменили.







А ещё Инку назначила модером Этель-чин ))) Вот сюда http://lynx.moy.su/
Теперь там будут храниться рисунки и даже, вероятно, клипы. Сугой, нэ? ))

OMG brainkill. It's like 2 AM. I've stayed up til now talking to [Bad username: sugaredanxiety� and now�I feel kind of up and wired. @___@; But I need to sleep. Shoot. Summer does this to me. And breathmints are not a snack food! God help me.]

Yeah, I've felt sick like half of today. I've actually not been feeling well since, like, last Friday or Thursday... it's mostly been mild on-and-off stomach aches & stuff, but there have been moments when it's been pretty bad.

Anyway. I'm thinking, after using this system of avatars for a while (keyworded based on corresponding emotion) I'm thinking of editing them. Confusion and curiosity, I think, can often work well with the same icon (at least in my case) so I think I'll just combine them into 'question' or something. I don't use 'understanding' very often, so I might either change the avatar or swap it for something that's more like 'affirmative' or something. I use worry more often than sorrow, and anger more often than worry, so I might knock it down to 'worry' and 'upset' possibly changing both my icons. 
That gives me room for probably two new things to put on that list. I can't think of what I was thinking of adding before now - I might add a 'shocked' or 'surprised' for one of them. I don't know what the last one should be.

God... my mom is home so I have to wrap this up.

What else was I going to say? I sliced my pinky earlier when I was putting away stuff from the dishwasher. I was doing the knives and silverware, but I actually didn't get cut on a knife - it was on a serrated pie cutter/server. It sucked, but I'll live, and it's sealed up fairly well now so I can type. Um, and L'Arc's Shine PV came out (which seriously looks like an Apple ad and is eerily remicent of Coldplay's Viva la vida). And I did my application for snicket_rating last night, and might be co-modding another different rating community. And I have to work on my artwork - like, right now.

That's about it. 

PS: Just what was I thinking when I thought, "Oh, it might be cool to add glitter to my [summer AP] art project."? I mean, other than I what I just told you I was thinking.

I'm still messed up. It's kind of insane. I'm not even on any pain medication because *drum roll* it makes me vomit! Isn't that just fantastic. Sunday night I was feeling nauseous and then threw up 4 times that night. At least I didn't lose my blood clots

My tummy is having a hard time with food so I constantly feel sick. I'm still all woozy and unstable and kinda delirious. I keep misreading things (mis typing them), and my concentration is completely shot I'm distracted easily, and just overall out of it. It really sucks I just want my life back.

I'm stressing because my summer school classes are passing me by. I'm getting behind in my English class and my Drama class. I feel worse about the drama one because I have a partner and I've been leaving her alone..

Urg I want pancakes. Really. Like Ihop.

Sorry if this makes no sense.

Moments when I can't stand my parents: like, TODAY. 

WTF are they doing at home, anyway? They're supposed to be taking a day off and all that they are doing is yelling and bitching at each other and us so far. Oh my effing god.
