NothingConsequential

Okay, it's not quite 9000, granted if I had 9000 deviation alerts I might have just given up right then and there. But I did have quite a daunting number. As of now I have managed to bring it down to 369... Yeah...

I'd like to give a shout out to KatFrog08 and iYuuki for their excellent excellent art! They are two magnificent artists and I love knowing both of them. <3

It is apparent in my absence on deviantArt... Okay I wasn't really absent. It was more negligence. I got on, search for a new wallpaper image and got off. Or I browed a certain category of pictures under a search. Either way, I ignored the ever mounting number of amazing deviations I had gone out of my way to say "hey, I like this art. I'm going to watch their art" then ignore them for six month intervals? Yes I'm a cool person.

So today, I've been going through individual's art galleries, specifically people I know personally, to catch up. Because A) Said friends have fewer people watching them than some of the other more popular artists and B) I know they will respond to what I have to say. =3 So it's partially me being selfish and enjoying getting notifications that someone has responded to me. >>

I have all the right intentions. I swear.

If the people who watch me are anything like me (let's hope not, that would be very counter productive...) they've probably disregarded this journal entry and moved on to prettier shinier pictures in their alerts. However, if you've managed to get this far congratulations!! I respect you all the more. And if you comment... I'll know your name, stalker.

I think that's all I'll throw at you at once. Ciao loves.

I'm going to stick by what I said in my earlier journal entry about 2008: It's cold.

I could possibly try to update and explain what's been happening in my life since January. But, why bother?

It's now late October. It's cold, bitter, dry, and all around gross. I need to set up a place to hibernate for the winter.

But of course, junior year delights in teasing with the idea of resting before it slams into high gear faster than any of us can yell 'Duck and cover!'.

One would assume I would be trying to prevent myself from falling into this trap. They would assume wrong. For as good as my intentions are in trying to plan and redirect my energies towards more productive outlets, they usually fail.

Fortunately for me, I have fantastic friends to fall back on in times like these. It is much less fortunate for others who have no one to lean on.

Does not wanting to get involved make me such a selfish person? Is it such a crime to want a nice normal life without having to try to play the savior?

Aside from that slight digression, I have decided I am definitely not ready for college yet. Not at all. I haven't got a major, a vocation, a college, not even a whisper of a future thought out yet.

Time to fall back on those aforementioned friends now.

<3 J.

Sometimes I wish I could be there in someone's arms.

Well there's one thing I can say about 2008... it's COLD.

Hn, well, The Odyssey was fantastic back in early December. Everyone who went loved it. I loved it. Well, until strike. Then I could love it a little less. All that sand! >< Not to mention my iPod was stolen by some dumb actor thing. Then we got a good week or so break from theatre. Then I got roped into being tech producer for Showcase. XD I haven't had to do much so far, unlike Claire. It worries me slightly, this lack of activity. I have a feeling John's plotting something.

I jumped off a ladder during the Nutcracker weekend... twisted an ankle and bruised a heel. All because of Morgan Elder. It was pretty funny, I admit. I misjudged how high I was and jumped 10 feet instead of 3.

I've been playing D&D a lot more now break is going on. Unfortunately it has put strain on the friendship I have with Becca. It first started getting bad when her character leveled up to become a "nature outsider" divine disciple of Mielikki... if anyone cares to know. Well from there it was more or less a landslide. I think it was mostly I felt she was infringing upon my territory of expertise. And it was an annoyance. Maybe because I was reading undertones of superiority when I shouldn't have. I dunno. Point being, we've been slightly tensed lately.

Um... nothing else more to life. Love you later. <3

Hallo darlings.

I figured since I haven't updated since school has resumed, now would be as good a chance as any to update. I know I'm kinda sick of the journal entry messages I'm getting alerted about, especially when they are like this:
a) the grammar/spelling sucks
b) it's not a comment on something
and/or
c) it's just a poem or song lyrics in a  journal entry.

But maybe that's just me. So, school is just as always: drab. I've most definitely lost interest in a lot of subjects this year. I'm really beginning to regret taking choir again. I kept telling myself I hated the songs and the number of people in the choir but somehow my friends convinced me to stick with it. Well, perhaps it'll at least look good on a resume somewhere down the road.

Chemistry is also annoying me, more my teacher than the subject. She's a nice person just not my kind of teacher. It's hard to explain why I dislike her style so much. Perhaps it's the fact this is the first time I'm not totally acing a class that I'm good at. I've noticed my Chemistry is somewhat parallel to English, but I'm dreading English less and less. Perhaps doing my homework ahead of time would make things easier. XD

I've taken up a job as a hostess at New Japan, a local Japanese restaurant to help me pay for my trip to Japan in June. The people there are so nice and the pay is great, not to mention it helps me practice my Japanese. It's a wonderful job to have, it just takes up time. I also recently was chosen to work in the auditorium at North, another dream job(well, for now^_-). It's helped me learn  tons about the theatre's technical side, such as the lights and sound. It also pays well for what we actually have to do. I'm hoping on getting $3000 by May if not more for Japan. We'll see how that turns out.

The Odyssey has finally started up and I have taken my inherited spot as Props Mistress. Last year with Brigid I had a lot of exposure to how setting up props works so it's not very hard to navigate the "Land of Crap" that is the Props Closet. I'm working closely with an old friend, Melissa, who is our resident Costume guru. We have tons of new people in crew this year, though I've only seen a few that look like possible future thespians.

No teenage drama, no turbulent relationships, no cat fights... life's fairly mellow at the moment and will hopefully stay as such. Personally, I'm just trying to get past first semester.
