soo, i don't really know what to talk about but i feel like i should post. ¬_¬
don't ask why.
i have to work tomorrow night (interesting, haven't worked on a thursday for a while-_-) but at least since it's not the weekend it shouldn't be too crowded. last saturday night it was completely insane, nearly killed me XP
i worked a bit on this converted old book i started in school two years ago yesterday... it's just an old book decorated, with the pages painted over and stuff. i painted a pretty good Chinese Lucky Cat on one page, i think it turned out cute. maybe i'll take a picture of it and put it up or something...
aanyway, i'm just bored right now and i'm gonna try and find something to do. maybe i'll play okami (second time around, i beat it quite a while ago XD)

changed my theme to Mushi-shi. it is the awesomest anime>.<
i think it rivals miyazaki. and coming from me, that is pretty much the highest praise an anime can get. it's BRILLIANT.
enough said. WATCH IT.
soo nothing much new.
knox was over, we went shopping with my mom and ina (mom's british friend) and spent two hours in costco. lord, it was epic.
then today we basically sat around like fatz and did nothing>.<
i got several new animes; one was mushi-shi, and we also got texhnolyze. it was obscene to say the least, but sort of interesting. also, i got HARLOCK SAGA XD
i've been lusting after that for quite some time.
...shut up. it's old-school anime. like speed racer.
XD
theeen we just sat around and played video game demos on this free thing i got a while back
they were all stupid
it was great.
i had to go to the orthodontists' and get my braces tightened again. everytime i start to feel semi-alright they inflict a whole new host of pain on me. it's completely miserable, my mouth is killing me. and the girl who did it wouldn't stop singing along with the radio, i was about to kill her.
and damn, someone at work wants me to design a couple tattoos for them and i haven't started that yet, really. and i got to go to work saturday-_-
ohh well maybe i'll do it tomorrow.
i'm all done now. you may go *waves hand dismissively*

when i do something, i DO it
well, i hardly ever paint my nails or anything else of the girly sort, but since i tye-died a shirt at camp the undersides of my fingernails have been sort of stained and it just looks like i've got an awful lot of dirt under my fingernails, sooo... it started to bother me and i painted my nails to cover it up. i spent somewhere around half an hour in it.
abstract work of art there O.o

guess what? I finally made another page of Aya.
and i'm going to meet knox to go to the play soon.
if you just leave a comment that says "have fun", i'll have to hurt you. go read aya. :D
and lastly, i just noticed that i have 80 votes on aya.
not hugely impressive, but i'm excited :D

well, camp is over, and i'm bloody well glad. i don't even really miss those kids, and from the way they were on the last day, i don't think most of them miss me either.
kind of depressing to have given up two weeks of my life for that.
it was nothing like last year. XP
oh well. new director, some stuff changed, some things seemed better... but all in all, last year was incomparibly better than this year.
aaanyway.
tomorrow i'm going to see a play of The Tempest with knox, that should be fun.
just got back from work, i did day shift today; i love doing day shift because it's not as busy and i can come back and talk to gabe at night.
plus there's less creepy bar people there during the day :D

OMG YESSS
tomorrow's the last day of camp!
it's the day all my little peoplez'll do performances for their parents, so it won't be as long as a normal day.. i'll be able to go home a bit early.
not that much though-_-
but at least they'll be a little better-behaved with their parents watching...i... hope
ahhh well.
i guess i'll miss the little buggers.
not christopher though, because i see him whenever i go to sarah's, and lately he wants to marry me, which i don't really find... to be a good thing.
what with me already knowing i want to marry gabe, christopher being my godbrother, and the eight years age difference and all.
ahh well, he'll get over it. i think he's had that opinion of all sarah's other friends at some point too.
aaand i... have... nothing much else to report. except that i'm about to die of lack of sleep and all that good stuff, but that should be solved when camp ends.

i think my favorite comment on my last post about the little girl with the learning disorder/possible mental problem was "hope she feels better"
XD
anyway.
she switched to tohru168's group today, where she has a friend or two, and wonderfully yet hit-my-head-on-the-wall-frustratingly enough, she's being (almost) an angel for sarah.
ha ha. ha ha.
she comes to me in pottery and says "what was the PROBLEM with her, she's being so good O.o"
...making me look like an idiot who can't handle children.
but oh well.
i'm certain it's that she has friends there, she didn't get along at ALL with any of the people in my group, she was always spitting at them and kicking/hitting them and suchlike. but it's not like they were exactly stellar to her either.. well, all except one girl who didn't know her but was very nice to her anyway, despite her odd behavior. i'm very proud of that girl.
*THE FOLLOWING IS SOMEWHAT AKIN TO A HARRY POTTER REVIEW/NAIA RANT-- THERE ARE NO SPOILERS. I STILL HAVE SOME DECENCY LEFT IN MY BEING.*
sooo anyway, i have the seventh harry potter book, i'm near to finished with it, and i'm not very pleased with it. forget that some motherf***ing bastard on youtube posted a bunch of spoilers on the comments of some random youtube video that i was unlucky enough to read, the thing just isn't that well-written.
for one thing, it's kind of taxing to read. there are no breaks, it's just angsty problem or happening after angsty problem. you get so SICK of them being in mortal danger or frustratingly off-track or close to being rendered hopeless.
then there's the confusion. they're bringing in SO MUCH new information, and digging up details from previous books that i never even remember reading about. EVERY SINGLE seemingly-random detail rowling put in a previous book, she's digging back up and giving a NEW, GREAT-BIG, OH-MY-GOD-AN-EPIPHANY meaning to. it's stressful for the brain to try and understand/remember all this shit when you're NOT someone who does nothing but reread all the harry potter books in your spare time.
another complaint, something that i noticed mostly after sarah pointed it out to me, was that she uses the SAME description for everything every time, not to mention the same cliches, like "an icy hand of fear gripped harry's heart" or snape's hair "falling in greasy curtains" around his face. EVERY time XP
the thing that REALLY bothers me, though, is the way her writing has gone downhill. no doubt you've found out from some source or other that there are a lot of deaths in this book.
she seems to have deduced that by now everyone is such a raving-lunatic fan that just killing off a character will have such impact that she doesn't have to write the event well or with much description. and she hasn't. three characters have already died (as far as i've read) and i only found one of these events sad, and even then not as sad as i thought i should have been. not to mention that i find myself hoping fervently that all of these three would stay dead, because if somebody comes back to life i'm going to scream.
i found sarah in tears in the kitchen of the camp over the fourth death, and i've finally gotten to that chapter, so i'm bracing myself in hopes that this time it'll actually make me cry some real tears.
also. my parents have gotten me a cell phone. i've already sort of personalized it and i've got it up and running, quite a feat in itself. my cell number is stupid and random and not-very-memorable, but oh well. not a terrible many people are going to be calling me on it anyway.
alright then. i'm off to (most likely) finish the last.. ever.. harry potter book.
i HOPE to be half-drowned in tears.
if i'm not, j. k. rowling better brace her fan-cheating little ass for a lawsuit.
