I'm soooo sorry that I haven't been on in like forever! I missed out a few weeks ago when it was my Dad's weekend because the roads were awful! I cannot wait for summer to get here! DX

So, lemme try and recall anything important to tell you.

First, I've done a lot more drawing and photography, but I left my memory card up at my Mom's and my scanner is loud and my dad is sleeping. I promise that if I get around to it tomorrow, I'll upload some of my new work!

In art, we're currently working on hard-edge paintings. [That's were you put down some masking tape and cut out what your painting, and then paint that cut out area.] I'll have to upload a picture of it when it's finished because its on canvas. I didn't remember that the background had to be from dark to light, and I painted it black. My teacher wasn't too pleased. And then, I'm doing outlines of the main picture. I was free-handing them so they'd look nice and Mr. D goes, "You have to cover your whole canvas with tape and cut out your lines." And I just had two more colors to go. I was so mad. But I guess it's my fault for not really paying attention when he first assigned this project. Oh! And then I was about to use some tempra paint and Mr. D thwaped me with his paper. "NO! Acrylics!" So I might just fail this assignment. XD

My ribs have been hurting for reasons unknown to man. I looked it up on webmd.com but my search was inconclusive.

I started health this semester, and I love my teacher. She's definately amazing. XD We were talking about tampons and she asked if we'd ever read the directions and all the guys were like, "Um, what are you guys talking about???" It was hilarious. And then she was talking about practicing saying no in a mirror and how she disagreed with it. And then out of nowhere she goes, "NO I WILL NOT HAVE SEX WITH YOU!!!!!!!!" Everyone in the hallway turned and looked. Good times.

I bought and watched The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya!!!! A most excellent anime! XD And I've just purchased a cosplay costume of Haruhi and it should be coming in the mail somtime after Valentine's Day.

Ugh, have I ever mentioned that I totally hate this holiday?

I've decided to try out for a play sometime at the end of February, beginning of March. It's called Happily Ever Once Upon and it's about how Cinderella and the Prince are going bankrupt and Cinderella's fairy godmother has left. And Little Red Riding Hood has a crush on the Prince. I'd like to audition for her part.

I need my permit so I can get my hours in! I'll be sixteen in like three months! And I haven't even taken Drive Right yet. *Flails*

Um, I think that's pretty much it for now. I'm really stressed with school and everything and I'm not sure when I'll be on next. I apologize for my absence and lack of attention to deviations. They're so many amazing ones! D: You guys rock! X3

Oh yeah! One more thing! My mom needs surgery again. Last year she had a histerectemy, but they left her ovaries. Now she needs them removed because she has cysts. They're gunna do it laprascopically so she'll only be off work for like a week. She had an MRI a couple of weeks ago because of her chronic back pain. One of her nerves was compressed in her spine so they gave her a shot of cortazone. She's been feeling better, which has relieved some of my stress.

Oh! I lied! I got my braces on a couple of weeks ago, and I've finally adjusted. Mutilate is my new favorite term to describe my eating habits. XD But the good thing is I only need them for a year! This makes me EXTREMELY HAPPY!

Thanks so much for supporting me and my artwork. I seriously can't thank you guys enough! ^___________________________________^
