Stir Crazy

My WoW time is almost up, and I doubt I'll be going back to it.

I am 10% away from 82 in Lineage 2 and I really just don't feel like logging on.

Currently only three people have entered the "Miss World" pageant thingie on FB, and I'm super excited to get the ball rolling. I really wish more people would post so that I wouldn't be so bored.
I'm going insane stuck in this house. I can't take it anymore. I'm getting very temperamental and moody. Everything stupid someone says, I'll get extremely frustrated. I need to get out of this house for awhile. The bad thing is, I can't go for a walk. There is nowhere to walk to, and no one to walk with me. I hate long walks alone in the country. It's cold, and I have bad circulation, no winter coat, and no fat on my body to keep me warm. I hate the outdoors. Why can't it be summer?

I'm annoyed with all these self-proclaimed "authors" of sim legacies that can't spell or write for shit. I can understand those who don't speak English as a first language. Americans, go get an education! You can't be an author without an editor. OOPS! I'm sorry. I shouldn't be rude, no matter how moody I am...

"Miss World" sim contest up next...

Recently I joined a Sims 3 contest, the FB link can be found on my other blog here. Oops. Fail link. Oh, well.

Been playing WoW too much I think. Not sure if I'll go back to it after my free time is up. Only need 10% for level 82 in Lineage 2 and I really don't want to party with randoms anymore.

Ryan is in Milwaukee until Thursday. I think mom wants to pick him up on Saturday instead. Not sure. He says he is getting me a teddy bear. I don't blame him, I still sleep with the bear my ex gave me. Take heed that it's not because I want him in my arms, it's because I need something in my arms. *YES! I sleep with a teddy bear!*

I've been looking at ball-joint-dolls on dreamofdoll.com lately. They're so gorgeous! I want them! I love dolls.

Currently I'm in the middle of decorating my Sim's house (Lia)... Just have the entire thing to go. I want to finish it before I go to sleep. Of course, it's so late that I forgot to attach pictures to a contest email. Fail. It's so late that when I re-read the things I write, they get all jumbled up and it looks like I wrote a ton of typos, which I didn't.

I have been encouraged to continue writing Hope is a Thing of Feathers. As soon as Ryan gets back I will be looking at what I can do for it. I am planning on going back through and rewriting some things, as it goes pretty quickly. I need more pages in the chapters.

The other day I was tugging on Ryan's hoodie. (Can't remember if I've said this)... Well, my left index finger nail tore off of my finger. It's still cracked half-way down the nail, waiting for it to grow out so I can clip it. It's happened before though, it's not like I'm not used to it. Color guard.

We're not lizards

I found out that WoW is giving out free 7 days play time for the game, so I am working on getting that right now... Will post screenies in the future. I hope this doesn't impede on my work towards 85 in L2. For the next week or so I will be working on my characters, just because I'll have the time.
I also am thinking about joining a roleplay thread in a forum in the IMVU groups. I haven't done that in a long while, need to brush up.

I am not trying out for show choir, this is my final decision. I was not able to work out rides with my friend, and I will probably be too busy anyway. At least I can audition for the musical, that should be fun. It's been announced that it's City of Angels. Never heard of it. Let's roll.

I've always said that WoW has terrible graphics, but now that I really look at them, they're worse than I thought. Oh, well.

Title story: I was talking to Ryan and he stuck his tongue out at me. I told him we're not lizards and he said "yes we are."
No. Just no.

All I want to do is sing today

So, what ever happened to separation of church and state?

These posters are all over the school. Now, I wouldn't have a problem with them, but bible verses? Come on. I thought we weren't supposed to condone religions? Though they do have new posters up now that just have peace signs and minimal text, no "god" included. Hopefully those shown above are removed soon, or I might have to have a talk with an authority about it.

I may have worked out some rides to show choir rehearsals, so now all I have to do is audition. I think I may have figured out a song, too. I was stuck between Gravity - Sara Bareilles, Whenever, Wherever - Shakira, and She Wolf - Shakira. I looked at What the Hell - Avril Lavigne for a while, but Whenever, Wherever was the winner. The reason being that it gives more room for freedom of style. What the Hell does as well, with lots of high notes (my range) but Whenever, Wherever really speaks to me, and I believe that's important.
My only issue is that I can't dance unless it's choreographed for me, and even then it takes me longer to learn. Whenever I have to memorize something like that, it takes me longer than most people. Take colorguard, for example. To memorize routines for that, I wrote down everything plenty of times, over and over again. I took sheets of paper with the routine on it and worked on it for hours at home. I can see myself needing to do that with show choir, which is okay, because at least I put in the time and effort for the things I do. I am always working at improving my performance life.

Lately in Lineage 2 I've been super lazy, but have gotten plenty of quest guides done. I am almost level 82, and would be, but Ryan likes attention. Sometime tonight I will be working on a new sim (out of boredom, of course).

Happy Chriskwanzikkule! That's christmas, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, and Yule put together. I celebrate Yule. If you Google it, you'll see that christmas actually stole a lot of tradition from the traditional Pagan Yule. Yule log, decorated tree. Funny, how Paganism was the first religion and a majority of the US doesn't know what it is. Even better, some ridicule it. You're ridiculing your ancestors.

Cake!

First, I would like to let all the girls who have been flirting with Ryan know that I know that, and who, they are, so you can just back off right now.

After the holiday break, I will be learning french horn. I'm excited, french horn is such a pretty instrument!

I'm really sad that I won't be able to do show choir. All I want to do is get better at what I do, which is performing. It will also help prepare me for college. It's too bad my mom doesn't see that.

Tonight I will be watching season 3 of Dexter with Ryan, because he's only ever seen the season six episodes. The finale is on Sunday! Super duper excited! And really scared, because apparently Travis is supposed to kill Dexter's son. Or try to. I feel really bad for Dexter, everyone goes after him sooner or later. And what is Deb up to? Some creepy shit going on there. Especially since in real life the two recently divorced... Awkwarrrrrd.

I'm making cake right now! I'm very excited for the break, and can't wait to start writing again. Maybe I could even start one of my paint projects, or start memorizing fingerings for the french horn. I will most likely go shopping, too. I want a pikachu hat.

Concert on Monday! Jazz band opens, very very excited. I love all of the activities I've been in lately. I'm looking at going to Columbus in Chicago, the performing arts school. All of this extra stuff is really helping me towards that, not only in credit but also in how I perform.

Eff my scanner

So I'm working with some of my scanned pictures and they are just not turning out right. The scanner mutilated them. I went to sharpen them and they got this weird green film over them. Argh. I won't ever be using my mother's scanner ever ever ever again. Either she doesn't know how to use it or it just sucks. You can see how bad it is here: www.kattster.deviantart.com

That's what I've been doing as of late. It seems I'm always doing something different, with EOGamer and L2 on the weekends and art in my free time, and now I'm looking at auditioning for show choir, whilst being in art club, chamber choir, and jazz band. I might have too much on my plate. But there's just so much...
I might not be able to do show choir though. I asked my mom about it, because practices will mostly be in the morning. Before my bus gets there. (angry face, bus getting there at 7:45 in the friggin morning, I ain't got time to do nothin')... She refuses to drive me. Betcha' if it were Jenny askin' she'd do it. Stupid brat. Anyway, I am still going to audition, as the next driver's ed classes start in January, I think, and I could work something out with my mom until then. Or someone else. Of course, if I start driving, I'll have the car all day, and mom couldn't do anything until I got home. Why would she let me drive to school? (angry face again! too poor to own three vehicles.)
So BASICALLY show choir is any rich performer's dream, and eff anyone else. This annoys me to bits.

Dear "mom"

Dear mom,
I'm sorry that you had a bad day, and that you have to take it out on me as if it's my fault. I'm sorry you were too lazy to check your text messages about the time that I had to be at the school tonight. I'm sorry that I try to do nice things, like playing the Natl. Anthem for the basketball game tonight. I'm sorry that you take my explaining myself as attitude.
But guess what?
I had a bad day, too. Don't think everyone else is immune to stress, just like you. I had to babysit some freshman today, and take snotty attitudes from them, too. But hey, I did the adult thing and came up with a solution, instead of yelling and blaming people, like you do... And you call me immature? I'm sorry that when I explain myself I am stating facts. I'm sorry that when you know you're wrong, you have to go and make everything my fault.
I told you the time. I contacted you. You're just stupid.

Anyway. In art club today, some freshman were talking to everyone about some ideas they had. They had some GREAT ideas! I even thanked them for it, because they were some super awesome ideas. What did they have to say about my thanks?
"Yeah, well, we're just trying to do something for art club," as if no one else was doing everything. They were taking down names of who wasn't listening.
Now, being the VP of art club, this didn't make me very happy. I know we haven't done much for fundraising, but this is my first year. But they didn't have to be snotty about everything everyone said. They acted as if they were in charge, and not our supervisor.
One of our members turned in a T-shirt design, which I was so grateful for. She is the only one to have turned one in so far. One of the freshman came up and looked at it. In a very snobby voice, she said:
"Why are you turning that picture in? This is art, not music."
I explained to her very politely, and smiling, "Well, music is a part of art."
Her response? "Well, duhh."
I wanted to scream at her. But no, I let it slide, for that moment. After focus was over I talked to the supervisor about it. She said she noticed. I told her I was tired of them acting like they were the authority figures, and having snobby attitudes about everyone else's opinions. My biggest issue is, I even thanked them for their ideas and what they were doing, and they blew me off with sarcasm and snotty lines. I am tired of having to deal with this type of B.S. These are the same people who, last week, were talking through the entire meeting, and made the vote last 25 minutes more than it should have because they were not paying attention.
Well, guess what girls? The next time we are taking a vote, and you don't participate because you're too busy giggling over gossip, you won't be included.

I'm done dealing with stuff like that. And I'm sorry freshman, but that just feeds the stereotype we sophomores, juniors, and seniors see.

Why can't we all just grow up a little?
