Spazz

It's multifandom and all the cool kids are doing it, so you know you want in on that madness. :D

I'm back in art class fiddling around with my project for "The Fall". I've been working on about 16 different ideas that just didn't want to work, so today I just decided to screw it and go with the Poster. Which looks like this:

( Fine, I'll spare your flists )

So that's coming right along. And now I have to run so I can have dinner with my family and get all the stuff I forgot at home last night in my mad rush to get back to school. This includes the first season of 24. Yes, I've become that sad when it comes to watching clips of Misha. Please send help.

So I finished my first project for Photoshop class and my teacher loved it and I'm kind of proud of it, so I'm showing it to y'all. :D

( And now the war is over... )

I know none of my posts have been very substantive lately. I'm a little scattered; school kinda broke me this week. I promise to attempt catching up on my flist this weekend. Hell, I may even get that meme started.

I should probably post over at mishaland for this, but I figured I'd take some time to talk with the rest of my flist.

Basically, here's the deal: I'm stuck in Photoshop class for at least 3 hours, probably 4. I know all the basic stuff, which is what she's teaching. This leaves me 3 hours of solid boredom during which I make macros/surf the internets.

Unfortunately, I'm not allowed to install an IM program on the school's computers, so it's a lonely existence. I also don't have my tablet, so I'm limited to making really, really hilariously bad manips for great justice.

So help me entertain myself! Talk to me, ask me to make you an icon, tell me about your day, show me hilarious macros. You know. Fun times. And for my newer flisters, I guess I could get to know you a little better if you happen to be online right now. :)

So the offer stands from now until about 5PM EST.

PLEASE SEND HELP, I CAN'T STOP LISTENING TO THIS SOOOOOOONG.

But I'm almost done with my first paper! \o/

Also there is ~*SNOW*~! Like, about 3 inches of it! The weatherman didn't tell me lies last night! :D

But the REAL REASON I'M HERE: TINY!MISHA.

Last night, I downloaded the episode of Charmed with Misha in it from mishaland mostly because I wanted to see tiny!Misha out of my morbid sense of curiosity. Omg, y'all. HE IS ADORABLE. Like I couldn't have seen that coming, but still! He has a tiny voice! And tiny hair! And tiny acting abilities! Also there are 90s clothes to mock, and horrible special effects. I know the clips are up on youtube, I'm just too lazy to search them out. Suffice it to say, I think you should! ;D ;D ;D ;D

Song for today: Greensleeves - Loreena McKennitt

I officially give up.



I did draw the Apush beast today for the first time in a long time, though, along with a few craptacular self-portraits, so whatever. I'm working on it. The thing was that I wasn't working on plain old anatomical sketches like I was supposed to, I was working on just about everything with the intention that it would end up as fanart because I am addicted to positive reinforcement. At least now I'm working on what I want, and I'm working on a much wider breadth of stuff, so I'm not quite as mad at myself artistically.

[/rant]

Now I've got two papers, one of which is due next Wednesday, and neither of which I've started. I should probably be getting on that. I have just about zero motivation, though. Also I need to go to the store or I'm not going to have anything to eat for dinner or lunch tomorrow, nor will I have anything to drink. So. There you are. Tonight I'm going to try to get the first paper at least halfway done (it's only gotta be 6 pages), which is totally doable, and it's not like it's due tomorrow. I feel pretty mellow about the whole thing, tbqh, which is probably good.

Now if I could just convince myself to trudge all the way to the store through the freezing mushy wilderness. Yeeeeeeah not quite as excited about the snow anymore.

I've been up since 5AM, am running only on Mountain Dew and string cheese, and am ROCKING at studying so hard that I'm taking a break to watch the Daily Show and update my LJ. GO ME! \o/

*does a dance*

Reason I'm updating? ( I read the spoiler for myself rather than just taking second-hand information from Elizabeth, so here's another spoiler cut. )

So, you know. That's exciting. And distracting, as I'm supposed to be taking a test today. XD Omg I shouldn't have drank that whole Mountain Dew. I'm never going to calm down, and now I'm going to be sleep-walking my way through art class and I'm supposed to operate heavy machinery and OH LAWDY DEAR GRACIOUS ME BACK TO STUDYING.

*flails*

I found this awesome Reddit-like site for music this morning: Cherrypeel. It seems to be in it's formative stages right now, so there's a lot more indie than there is, say, metal, but... I have a feeling if this thing picks up it could get awesome. I'm kind of obsessed with "C'mon Sea Legs" by Immaculate Machine, so I thought I'd pass this new awesomeness on to my flist and the internets at large. :)

Today is mostly being spent in excitement for tomorrow. There will be cake! And a ~*SURPRISE*~! OH GOOD GOLLY GOSH. :D

I got my first paper back with a good grade this morning, so I'm feeling pretty good about my academic standing at the moment. I'm gonna have to pull at least one of my grades up, but for now, I'm in a decent enough place to skate through the rest of the semester. I think. This is still partial speculation on my part, but... it's nice to finally not feel stressed. I think having both my midterm papers finished is helping exponentially on this front. Also the fact that I kick ass in Sculpture class.

I'm definitely going down there Friday night and painting til I'm satisfied with my monstrosity. <3 It just needs a super-pretentious arty name... It's an abstraction off a leaf, any suggestions?

ETA: C'mon Sea Legs - Immaculate Machine

I only hope to someday be as awesome as he. *starts looking around for some duct tape and a kazoo*

In other news that actually pertains to my life, I totally didn't kill myself in art class. Not during woodshop orientation, and not during class yesterday when I was the first one to have to use the handheld jigsaw and I broke the blade and everyone stared at me and it was so awkward but I'M NOT DEAD AND ALL MY PIECES ARE CUT OUT AND I NEED TO TAKE A PICTURE OF IT AND PUT IT ON THE INTERNETS CAUSE I'M SO PROUD!

\o/

In other, other news that pertains both to my lack of seriousness and ownership of a ukulele, what should I learn to play next? I've recently learned "You Shook Me All Night Long", and that's just ridiculously.... ridiculous-sounding on Eugene, and yeah. Suggestions, plz. All I ever learn on my own are sad, angsty songs (Read: Grapevine Fires and Astronaut), and those don't work on a ukulele. Trufax.

Omg I'm in such a good mood today. I think it's SPN. :)

I am not going to die. I am going to be fine.

I can write a paper and study for my PoliSci test in one week. And I can knock out a rough draft for next Wednesday this weekend and move at the same time. I can. I've crammed for tests in shorter amounts of time than this.

I even made myself a schedule! I don't even have to start working on my paper until 7PM tonight!

I'M GOING TO BE FINE. I'M NOT GOING TO DIE.

There's chocolate chip cake and frolicking on Thursday. And I can even tape Pushing Daisies and watch it.

In three months when I have spare time again.

*thud*

Guys, I'm so sorry I haven't been commenting or replying or anything, this past week has been madness and these two days have been hell. *sigh*

I don't get along with my roommate. Well, we get on fine, she just doesn't seem to want to talk to me. Which is making this intensely awkward. I'm hoping something crazy happens that we are forced to bond over, but barring a nuclear apocalypse of some kind, I seriously doubt it's going to happen.

Then my mom calls me this morning to tell me she had to go to the hospital in an ambulance (after waking up with her heart racing, and continuing to do so nonstop) where they told her she had "supraventricular tachycardia", so she'll be fine but I can't help but be a little worried and even more stressed out now, and it's not her fault, but... yeah. I don't even know.

I just don't need all this stress right now. I need to figure out how I'm going to not live on campus next year, I need to figure out how we're going to get our rooms officially switched, and I need to get food and books.

And I haven't eaten yet today, and I have a meal plan, and I can use it, I'm just too shy and have been shot down too many times to ask my roommate if she wants to go with me. So now my crippling social phobias are forbidding me from going out to get food. WHY, CRUEL WORLD.

But it's not all sadness and epic angst. tahu and I are watching random SPN episodes (Shadow may be our new favorite ;D ;D ;D ;D) to drown our sorrows, and I had a blast at the Student Center party with Sabrina last night (she gave me The Prestige for my birthday, which means I got two Christian Bale movies... HOORAY). Oh! We also painted dorky Batman and Joker shirts cause that's our current obsession. :) I am finding random happiness, and making all kinds of plans to not be in this room a lot, and I think it's going to be ok. So yeah. Ok.

Everything will be ok. :)
