Thirteen weeks? Really? Seriously? (my British Colony home-girl India is the spawn of those last two inquiries haha) I'm on LJ for about half of my day (or, I wish I was) and yet, I never update (and yet I have sooo much to update with). So, what to say, what to say...

I've gone crazy, declared Polisci as my major, Spanish as my minor, joined a club, writing fanfics, working on doing Washington semester (I'M GOING TO W.D.C. MOM) participated in SCSL (mock government organization, it was awesome.  Awesome like McGriddles), dealt with family stuff, dealing with more family stuff, annnnd participated in World Hetalia Day! 

And I love my roommate very much for letting us ([info]slash_fae and me) drag her there. And for helping cooking... and reading off the directions... and for putting up with my shenanigans... and for my less-than-perfect driving. I'm working on getting the pictures together now.


Been a long time...

So, I managed to go down to Columbia, SC by myself just to put together a massive lunch and Olive Garden and trip to the movies to see Harry Potter. And I drove by myself. Wow. I'm proud of myself. :)

Only one bad near-death experience happened in downtown while picking up two friends (Dah-cy and Bridget :D). I have dubbed the place Death Central and I couldn't figure out where to stop as there were railroad tracks and I didn't see the red light and comprehend that red means stop. We're okay, we live, luckily, thanks to people watching and brakes. :D

Other than that, I had the best time in a long time. We laughed, embarrassed Olivia (hee hee hee), and all that nice stuff. I'm happy I made the trip. It was refreshing.

I had to post something to remember, I guess. :D

I'd like to shamelessly post something here...

Cover? :D I've been working on a cover for "You're Not Here" and it came out pretty well! I'm not an amazing singer, but, I'm practicing and learning a lot as I go. :)

New AIM

For anyone who wants to talk, or uses my AOL s/n Sageofwind2008, well, while trying to change to another completely different s/n, let's just say that creating a new screen name of my own through AIM was a whole lot easier than going through some stupid security questions. 

So, if any of you want, eclpsntwilight12 is my new AIM screen name.

Well, it's finally here... my graduation. After sweating and cleaning and dealing with people, it's here. Family's all here, friends are coming over, and I don't feel any different. Am I supposed to?

Regardless, I'm ready, I think. I just have to leave in a few minutes. XD

SNOW DAY!!! (Well, no, not really)
USA
[info]sageofwind_21

Two-hour delay man! And I don't have to go at all since it's a 30 minute commute and I'll only be in classes for and hour and a half, so yayy! XD But there's no snow, so it's not really as pretty as I'd like it to be outside. Just really cold and wet...

...

Of course my state is pretty much the only state in the South with no snow... >( 

Oh, well! At least I'll be on for a while more today and I can RP some and possibly work on some fics. I feel really bad about Unrequited, which I promised to finish for someone. I bet they're just pissed off at me right now. :( I'm really sorry! I'm just not that inspired to work on it!

Noooooo... Rockman X/Zero is TOTALLY taking up my free time. XP But that doesn't mean I won't help my friend out with her script! (

 I'm about to go take the last exam of my high school career... and it's quite liberating, since it's only going to be an essay on a short story and I didn't really study. >_>

ZOMG, it's my last EXAM, crap yeah! :hasspasticfit:

It's that time of year... AGAIN!
USA
[info]sageofwind_21

Ahh! A year passed again and we must all resume the wonderful time of year that is the holidays! Yes, the holidays, whether or not you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza, or Nothing (XD), you know it's cold and all the lights and trees go up!

And it's also the first Christmas where I don't have to worry about idiot classmates! (Oh, I so gotta get over this crap! >_< I know you're all sick and tired of hearing about it!)

Well, anywayz, though I did not find a cute little Rockman X pic for my X-mas (lol) layout, I decided to stick with my still-here-and-won't-go-away-obsession TAICHIxKOUSHI! Everyone be very afraid.

And the pics are NOT mine. NOT MINE! The layout pic is from the Japanese site Komomogumi and as you can tell, I did manip it... a bit.

I cancelled my MySpace account a few moments ago, though I haven't received the e-mail yet. I told them that I was cancelling because of Megan, a girl who committed suicide over a fake persona on MySpace AND because people seemed to consider MySpace more important than a person's feelings. No offense to those who are on MySpace and are having a great exp., but I hate the site and am glad that it is over and one with... if they don't sue me.

AND I finished The Feminine Program! Now to finish up Sweet Time for

OMG It's TURKEY DAY!

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope none of you had to do community service like I did! (and no, I did not get arrested) 

Just one more month and then it's ChristmaHannaKwanzikah (Yeah, I know)! Ha! Just wait, I'm gonna find a Rockman X christmas pic and put it up here! XP X-mas! HAHA! 

I'm sorry, I'm very loopy right now... too much dressing. DX Yummy...! 

But in serious news, my parents went to Wal-Mart last night to pick up some last minute supplies for the community service and guess who they saw.

An old classmate from my old school. She acted so excited and everything and she wants to see me...

And go to the local race on Sunday.

... Fudge.

Oh, well...

I will never quite understand why my parents think that I say the stupidest things. I mean, really, I say what I wanna say whether it helps or hinders. But it's not 'you shouldn't say things like that.' No, it's 'why do you have to go open up your big mouth?'

I hate that when you get down to it, they don't know a thing about me.  Yeah, they know the basics, but as for my writing, drawing, and love for slash (>_>), they don't really know. I'm sure they suspect something. Heck, it wouldn't surprise me if they didn't just come in one day and say 'we know you read gay stuff, it's gotta stop.' Yeeeeah. Well, should have thought about that before letting me interact with my gay uncle and cousin.

Anyway, has anyone ever seen Family Guy? Know that old man that likes Chris? Well, my dad's been appointed a Deacon at church (shudder) and Revival started last night. I didn't go because I had a project that needed finishing. Well, he came home, came up to me and said 'I looked down the row and didn't see you,' and immediately the old guy from Family Guy popped in my head. Okay, here's the deal-- I'm seventeen years old! My parents think that I shouldn't be watching such things, so I couldn't just say "OMG dad, you sound like the freaky old guy from Family Guy!" No, I said 'you sound creepy.' He just stomps off and mom said that I keep putting my foot in my mouth. So I bite back with the old saying 'I can't wait to go to college' bit. 

THEN right when I was getting my food for dinner, mom was talking to me about my grandfather whose birthday was yesterday. My grandfather is about the biggest penny pincher you'll ever see and I said 'that takes precedence over everything else.' Mom didn't hear, so dad snidely says 'she was just being a smartass by saying 'that takes precedence over everything else.' So I'm even pissier than I was and I eat, roll my eyes when dad starts complaining about another Deacon gossiping and not doing his job and go on upstairs because I still have a project to finish. 

I should have told him 'you know what? You're a Deacon now. That means that you don't keep calling your children smartasses.'  And I know I've had a really good life. I'm more fortunate than most out there. These things are so trivial and I wish I didn't get so friggin' mad over them, but I do. Maybe it's because I'm a teenager? =\

Whatever. I still have that project to do (I gotta do the poster too!). Gotta print out pics of the solar system (how freakin' first grade).

Seriously, though, I know it could be a whole lot worse. Actually, I could have added to this. But, I'll keep it condensed.

I'm looking at the clock and I'm thinking over and over again how tomorrow is gonna turn out. Tomorrow is not only my father's birthday, but the day I start my new school. I'm a Senior this year, and I'm going into a class that has been together forever. I don't know how things are going to turn out, but I hope that all my stressing over it will end and I'll be happy and content. 

I only have four classes (I get out at twelve), but I have to take a college course per semester. I know that it's silly freaking out over all this, but I can't help it. It's just how I am... >_> 

Who knows... Maybe I'll love it so much that I'll never want to leave. Maybe it'll be just a neutral standing and I won't care either way. I don't know, but I can hope. 

I better get to bed soon... but I still have to look up that article for Psychology. >_<

Man I hope I don't go crazy before college. ;_____;

I hate you Customs... & McCarthy...

Okay, so about a month ago I found this really great site called Shopping Mall Japan and things were going really great! I bought a lot of Taishirou doujinshi for next to nothing and I even bought a fan-made PC Game! What luck! ...

And then the terrorist attack in the UK happened right when my game was being shipped. US Customs freaked out and now alot of people's shipments have been blended into a stupid situation that should have never happened. Here, read it <a href="http://p197.ezboard.com/fanimecelsforumfrm3.showMessage?topicID=1452.topic">here</a>. It makes me so mad. I haven't even been waiting near as long as some of these people have, but still!

On a side note, I've never been into Westerns... but for summer reading, I've been forced to read All the Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy. I've read about seven pages and I am thoroughly bored with it. >_> How am I supposed to read this if I can't even finish the Harry Potter book within three weeks? o_O It's mind boggling.

Also? Dial-up suxs more than it did two weeks ago. I've brought my laptop to work for the past three days and I'm so desperate that I offered to pay for DSL at home. -_-; Oh, well... No more slow downloads!

The Feminine Program! is almost finished! One more chapter and an Epilogue! Ahh!
