Well that was refreshing.

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone. I've written them all down, and I shall see if they are on our list or not (Well, I know Catcher in the Rye is, but it's below my reading level).

I got my memory card back last night. I got a call from my friend, asking if I could come over and pick it up. It was a bit late, but I did, and I also got my Invader Zim Volume 3 DVD back. Oh, it feels good to be in posession of your own belongings. I say this because I am constantly lending things to people.. Either that or copying CDs for them. I have one friend who is constantly borrowing games from me, and I don't really mind with him because I'm practically at his house every day and I can keep track of them easily enough. The person who had the Zim DVD and memory card is also pretty careful with these things, though I lent her sister Paint Shop Pro a while back, and I have yet to see it again.

And then there's a gaggle of other people whom I give things to more warily. I think I need to make a little list of things I have lent out, just so I don't forget something.

So, yeah, once I got my card back, I spent some long-awaited quality time with Devil May Cry 3. The level I had been stuck on for a long time was finally crushed. I had never actually gotten to the boss (Vergil) before, but when I did he was insanely easy. It only took me two attempts to whoop his ass.

And the following cutscenes were more than sufficient rewards. Seriously, they kick ass, and I think even my Dante-hating affiliates won't be able to deny their greatness.

So yeah, that's that.

School starts tomorrow. I don't think I'm ready to go back yet, but it's probably for the best. If I stay out any longer I'll forget everything I've learned in math this year, and we certainly wouldn't want that.

I began preparation for the twelve mini-essays earlier. I got four of them pretty much done, but those were the ones we already had notes on. I basically rewrote everything so that they were legible and therefore better studying materials.

Hm, I'm getting things done earlier than the night before. How odd, perhaps I'm slipping back into overachiever territory?

I was on a drawing RAMPAGE yesterday. I toyed around with realistic portraits, did one of my "sad anime girl in scarf with umbrella" things, and even did a one-page comic outline, which is insane. I haven't done comics outside of four-panel strips in a long time.. Not that this one was very good. I didn't even use a ruler for outlines, but a couple of the drawings were decent.

The rest were crap.

Apparently, one of the secretaries at my dad's workplace told him that Sin City is full of people getting shot in the balls and Bruce Willis ripping some guy's penis off. This makes my parents go "OMFG NO" even more before, which only fuels my desire to sneak in even more. Or I could just sit in Barnes and Noble for a couple of hours and read the graphic novels. Either way, karma will catch up with me.. But it should be worth it.
