Okay, that little reminder is out of the way... Now I have to make my excuses and I guess air my grief a little. Lately--I want to say it started when my internet went out, but it started way before that actually--I have fallen out of love with the internet. I get on, and I just feel like it's a job, not fun free time. I'm always overwhelmed with messages (mostly from work, family, and school, which makes them doubly unappealing), I feel like I've stopped talking to people I used to spend hours with (I just don't have anything to say, and no energy to say things even if I did), and sites that used to keep me occupied forever now seem dull.

I've even stopped reading fanfiction guys. This is serious business.

I don't know why I feel this way, and I'm just being completely emo over it now (you can ignore this journal, if you want). At first I thought it was just a late summer phase, but it's not going away. I like... want to go outside and live real life. That's a good thing... so why do I feel like I'm running away from something? At the very least, because I talk to so many of my old friends only over the internet now, losing interest in the internet makes me feel like I'm seriously losing interest in my friends. And that's a horrible thing, and totally untrue, because I love you all to bits and pieces.

This ennui has been made worse by real life, which is seriously cramping my style right about now. For those of you who don't have me as a friend on Facebook, a bat actually made its way into my bedroom--how, I have no clue--and now I have to be treated for rabies AGAIN. FML.

Somehow, I ended up chief editor of university's lit mag. I am pretty sure I never offered myself up for that job. But whatever, I guess. Someone has to do it. And if no one else is going to volunteer to make our meetings not 100% a waste of time, I'm going to do it... Still, there goes my free time.

And I don't understand how I can have so many easy classes this semester, and still feel just as stressed as when I was taking 18 units, all 4000-level. I'm finishing up my gen eds for god's sake! I guess it's really just Creative Nonfiction that is dragging me down. I spent nine hours yesterday writing a response to a reading I hated. Shoot me now.

Then there's that whole grad school thing. I get the feeling that all my applying will be for nothing. My family is going to be so upset if I apply to all these schools and don't get in anywhere.

Ugh, what am I doing with myself?

I don't even have anything to complain about. I need to just shut up now.

Anyway, I'm sorry about the horrible slowness of the sketches. A lot of things are going on. I'll get them done as soon as I can.

In other news, my internet was out for a remarkably long period of time in there, but it is now up and running even faster than before, so I will honestly be getting to sketches and working on commenting on people's amazing art in the next few days. Please be patient with me.

Also, I'm horrifying sad that I hit 17,000 page views while I was gone! Seventeen is my favorite number, I can't believe I missed that. Anyway, if you are page view number 17,171, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I will do something nice for you.

Yep, yep... moving on.

~Plasmodesmata, who wrote the script for the amazing real-life version of the Violet Room posted the script she wrote. It's really amazing, you should take some time and go check it out! It's right here!

Also...


Edit: Sketches are in progress, OMG finally. Also, I decided to color all of them to make up for the wait. It will just be flat color without ink, but it's still better than just pencil, I think...

Because I went and asked someone (lol, ~dianaMiiTE ) who was offering free sketches, I now in turn must offer free sketches! I'll sketch just about anything, but seriously, I fail at a lot of things, so don't expect success.

Started fall semester today. I started the day in a weird mood, so I knew the day would be weird too. Mostly I just floated through, sorta there and not there. I don't like sitting next to strangers in class, but somehow I ended up next to strangers even in the class that everyone else is taking: creative nonfiction. More on that in a moment. I also, of course, am surrounded by strangers in Microbiology. Everyone in the class--with the exception of the two or three people I recognize by face--is either a pre-med, pre-nursing, or pre-dental student. I feel so black sheep. The class is uber-packed, so I'm stuck between pre-dental and pre-med kids wearing an English t-shirt. Cue the odd looks.

But at least I know the professor. I had him for Flora, soooo long ago. I'm sure he doesn't remember me, but I remember him... and he's changed a lot. It's like he's aged twenty years since I last had him. I think he must have cancer or some other debilitating illness, because he looks like he's about to fall apart, and he's got a policy and people with even just a cold cannot come to class. I understand though... I mean, God, who'd want to be the one to kill the professor? I already had one professor die on me, let's please not repeat the experience...

Thankfully there was no lab this week, so I'm spared the awkward process of finding a lab partner until next Monday. I'm just going to get to class early and plunk myself down on a seat. With the class as packed as it is, someone will have to sit next to me in lab. Problem solved. I suppose I could hunt down the other couple criminal justice students in the lab, if I really wanted to... but honestly, I'd rather have pre-med lab partners. They're so devoted and serious about it! (Means less work for me!) Bowaahh, I hate lab classes...

Creative Nonfiction is going to be an adventure too, I can already tell. I love the genre and the professor is so spunky and excitable I was really into taking it, but... once I saw the syllabus, my face was like @___@! Soooo many discussions. Ugh, I'm here to learn how to write, not to learn how to talk! I hate leading discussions, and she's soooo into that concept. Other than that though, I should be okay. It looks like she's mostly looking for spunk and effort, rather than an actual fulfillment of her assignments. She's also really interested in Native Americans, so like half the books we're supposed to be reading for the semester are by Native American women. At least I can relate to the subject matter, I guess. V_V

I can't decide if my internet Geology class is going to be difficult or easy. I guess that's just one you have to dive into and hope for the best. I've heard it's easy, but what other people say is not always true for you, mmmhh... Mostly looks like it will be totally self-directed. The tests are timed, boo. But there's no one around to check if you're using the book on the tests or not... And I thought we had to do two field-trips, but apparently one is a virtual field-trip, so... I'm not really interested in rocks though. I wish I could have taken the weather and climate class... I like weather. T_T When I went to the bookstore today to pick up the last two things I needed, the cashier coo'd over my rock kit. "We opened them to look and see what they were, and my goodness, I've never seen such purdy rocks!" ...Really?

I have only one other class this semester, and that's Horsemanship. I'll get back to you on that one.

Somehow, even though this semester was supposed to be a lot easier, things are already shaping up to be messy. My classes seem like they'll be okay, but the calls for commitment are already pouring in. I got asked to join the staff of the school's literary magazine today. I mean, it would look good on a resume, but weighing the benefit against the cost, it seems like an undue amount of stress. But it's a credit class now, so maybe. And I was also thinking I would do the Creative Writing Conference too. It was really fun last year, and also looks good on school applications.

Oh god, applications. THERE'S SO MUCH TO DO. I just want to sit in a corner hugging my knees. But it's all over come October, I guess. I just need to get things all sorted out. Sorttttt:

To Do List:
Monday/Tuesday:
- Nonfiction homework
- Read Geology chapter
- Do Geology quiz
- Read/print-out Microbio guides
- Talk to ~raoaks about STD
- Finish alumni project

Grad School Stuff:
- Rewrite check-list
- Finish sending GRE scores
- Request letters of recommendation
- PERSONAL STATEMENT

- Work on writing sample

_+_+_+_+_+_+_

Edit: I'm going to get started on these as soon as the list fills up, so request away! If you've already made a request, and you notice a lingering free space, you can request another~!

Because I went and asked someone (lol, ~dianaMiiTE ) who was offering free sketches, I now in turn must offer free sketches! I'll sketch just about anything, but seriously, I fail at a lot of things, so don't expect success.

A lot of you have probably heard of (or heard me complain about... or maybe even read) my Kingdom Hearts fanfiction, The Violet Room. Well, recently, two completely awesome readers named ~Plasmodesmata and ~ApertureBoo decided to translate the idea of the fic onto their real-life violet wall. Check it out, because it's amazing! Look: [link] [link] [link] [link] [link] [link] [link]

It's like the story come true. As a writer, it's just... beyond amazing to me. And their work was beyond anything I could imagined--they took a simple idea and turned it into amazingly drawn diagrams and awesome looking text, and OMG... I'm on cloud nine, honestly.



Be amazed by it all. I command it. XD
