Picture Sharing ^_^

*flails*
Don't kill me.

Yes, yes, I know.
After spewing out all that random shit over winter break I suddenly drop off the face of the earth once school starts.
But hey! School sucks the time out of me. I mean sure, I don't much of a great job managing it well, but if I didn't have school I'd probably post more.
Actually that is a lie, as proven by the week off I had while I was bedridden with chicken pox (for the second time in my life, apparently >_>). But to be honest, I didn't do anything on account of... actually what did I even do that week? *shrug* I forgot! XD

So what has been going on with me, you ask?
Actually, not a whole lot, but I'll give you a brief overview anyway via BULLET POINTS (in no real order)!
Because honestly, who doesn't love LISTS?
Unless it's a list of chores, in which case that's gruesome, but if it's bullet pointed then it's just that more enjoyable ^_^

  • I started Art Fundies (aka Design 1), French, and Gym (which isn't too bad, actually). French and art are the two reasons why I am still going to school.
  • I found out that French classes have the opportunity to go to France with Madame L every two years, but Art classes have the opportunity to go to Italy just for next year. Thus initiated a week of indecision.
  • I decided on Italy (:
  • But then I realized I needed a job ): (if anyone knows of any job openings around my area, please tell me... even though I'm only fourteen >_>)
  • I got the chicken pox... AGAIN. Though I first thought it was like deadly measles and started panicking, but turns out they were just troublesome pox marks.
  • My sister gave me her (very small) laptop
  • My father got a new job, but since it's so far away he lives in an apartment near there during the week and comes home for the weekend.
  • I became obsessed with Family Force 5
  • I downloaded a little more than 50 songs on my phone, 20 of them being Family Force 5 and only 11 being Fall Out Boy. Other repeat artists are: Bring Me The Horizon, The Maine, The Academy Is...
  • I'm now getting a C in French (I was gone far too many times and forgot to make up a quiz. Otherwise, I'd have at least a low A in French because I'm just that awesome)
  • We started To Kill a Mockingbird in English... but we finished. Now we're doing an essay to connect some aspect of life during the Civil Rights era and connecting it to the book (I'm so screwed, but that's nothing new).
  • I got the seventh book in Max Ride, Angel, and the third volume of the manga!! (Don't worry, I won't geek out over them this time. It actually made me REALLY pissed off, but that's all you're hearing from me :3) I got them yesterday, finished both of them today.
  • The way we do things in World History has changed completely because Mr. W, the head of the department, is an ASS
  • I never finished any of those things I promised I would accomplish this year.
And here's why.
- The 2011 Project of EPIC!ness is on hold because in the middle of January my camera broke.
"Really Gemmie? Already?"
HEY. Not my fault. My nephew knocked it out of my hands and the lens got awkwardly dislodged into the camera.
"You couldn't have had the strap on?"
Actually, I was about to put it back in my case when he started doing this cute thing. So being the aunt that I am, I kept my camera positioned on him so I could take a picture but to my dismay he knocked it out of my hands by the time he reached me Dx
My camera was actually supposed to be done fixing a few weeks ago, but my brother in law hasn't gotten around to picking it up. Ah well.
So that also means that not only can I not make a decent quality video, I also could not commit to taking a picture every day of this year without getting all pissy about the horrible quality of my phone as compared to the kickass quality that Canon cameras never fail to exhibit. However, I still have taken quite a few photos on my phone, so I shall share that with you. :]
- As for the Ultimate Harry Potter Reread, I was planning on sharing that with my brother, but we missed too many days so I decided to pick up again at CoS. However, for some reason I never did pick it up again and now we're already on the fourth book, which is like really crazy o_0
I shall reread the series on my own sometime.

However, even though I didn't adhere to the whole "take a picture every day of this year" thing, I do have quite a few pictures on my phone (it says like 79 or something).
Okay first, my art work (:
(just so ya know, I'm putting up LINKS because I'm putting pretty much ALL the pics and whatnot from my phone)

These are from art class
Sleepless: Project 1
Noodle Doodle: Sketchbook 2 ~ Organic/Geometric line practice
Toy Box: Sketchbook... 3? ~ 2 point perspective
Folie a Deux bears: Sketchbook... 4? ~ Broken Values
(this one actually has more to it, I just don't have the completed project yet)
Going Home: Project 2
(that's a really bad picture of it because it was in the display case and I wasn't tall enough to get a good picture)
Patrick Stump: Project 3, progress 1
Patrick Stump: Project 3, progress 2
Patrick Stump: Project 3, progress 3
(it's still not done, though :P)

These two are for my French culture project:
(I actually still need to colour it)
(it's sucky, I know. Just shut up XP)

Fun with Food!
(yeah... No real creative title there)
I have duplicates of these, though, just because I never feel like deleting too much off my phone. These are the ones that look better.
Oh and as for the dinosaurs, I actually FOUND my dinosaur sandwich cutter after I lost it when I used it like twice (yeah, I'm bad with stuff), so I got all excited and started a photoshoot with them at the lunch table XD

Lunch People
I'm not going to put names, as I do have friends from around the world who haven't actually met me and these people would be pissed if I put these pictures of them on the internet, so I'm just going to put their pictures and a list of the people who are in the set with no particular correspondence. You internet stalkers, major brownie points to you if you figure out who's who (:
(yeah. I'm taking French. I get to use French numbers XD)
Timmy, Stacy, Brielle, Maryan, Sergio, Ross
Unfortunately, I couldn't get EVERYONE who sits next to us, so these are just a few.

Around School
(that is the ONLY picture of me on my phone, besides one measly birthday one. Title reference to a Family Force 5 song)
(That is NOT my locker)
(Gloria drew that on my hand)
All of these pictures were to help me with inspiration or reference for Going Home: Project 2 except for Mr. Monopoly Man, Kiss Me, and Nerd Glasses.

Winter Wonderland

Chilling at Home
(over Skype. That is now her contact icon XD)
(my eye over Skype from Stacy's view. Ain't it purdy?)

Photography
I joined a photography contest on MNI (I'm second, but I'll most likely lose) and these are the results of it
(the bolded ones are the pictures I sent in and the poems are the ones I choose for each round)
A Book by Emily Dickinson
Acquainted With The Night by Robert Frost
(it was FUCKING COLD when I took those pictures)
Monologue at 3am by Sylvia Plath
(ditto for these. Got snow in my boots)

Other Shit
(those are Kristine's)

And that, ladies and gentleman, was every picture on my entire phone (minus a few pointless ones)
If you actually looked through all those, please tell me if there are duplicates, broken links, or texts without pictures (I may have missed a few). Merci ^_^
Since you guys were so freaking amazing, I'm going to also upload the video of me shelving Max Ride (it's not on my empty and abandoned channel since I don't want to soil that with a crappy phone video, so it's on my photobucket instead)
Yeah. It's a big deal to me.
Do I really sound like that? Or do I just always sound weird in videos? It sounds like I have like a nasal condition or something. Damn.
Anyway, I just realized that I said, "I still need Order of the Phoenix" when you can see the big blue book RIGHT THERE. I meant I still need Prisoner of Azkaban, which weirdly enough is like my favourite book out of the entire series yet I don't have it. Odd.
Anyway, sorry that's kind of rambly, but I wanted to show it to someone.

A few more things:
Audience: OH. MY. GOD. WHEN will she SHUT UP?!
... Well then, you rude ass bastards. You can just LEAVE. Nobody here likes you anyway.
But I know there are those of you who do like me, as I have acquired 2 new followers.
Yay~! ^_^
I have NO fucking idea why you would want to follow this S.O.B. but it's your decision, so welcome to my cave of doom blog made from hell. I hope you realize what you're getting into, as I hardly ever update.
And you know what? I have been on here for about a YEAR now and I still post a bit. I think that's a new record :] W00T!

Also, a few days ago my favourite YouTuber, Destery Moore, celebrated his 20th birthday! YAY!
I wonder why I didn't get this excited when it was my sister's 20th birthday, my niece's 1st birthday, or my brother's 10th birthday. I'm such an awesome sister/aunt. XD
You should go check out Destery's channels if you haven't already. He's Highly Larious ^_^
Because I'm a stalker, I'm also putting up his birthday tweets (I totes wished him a happy birthday)
2:50 am February 19: Sooooo. happy birthday me? someone take me to the fuckin nursing home. I'm 20.
12:08 pm February 19: Thanks for all the "Happy birthday"s! I got over 1000 of them! :DD
11:32 pm February 19: So for my birthday, I bough myself a 120$ lightsaber and a replica of the Delorean from Back to the future. :P #goodtimes
11:33 pm February 19: Not to mention, My mommy brought me to a nice Restaurant and bought me some clothes!! [I love how he still says Mommy too ^_^]
11:34 pm February 19: And then I went to a theme-park. and swam. :P Something was missing in this day. I think it knows what it was.

IDEK 8: Valentine's Love (another Destery video but it's like really really old)
Really Real Show 5 (Family Force 5 webisode series, now cancelled as their cameraman went on to pursue other ventures)
SEXY CUPID KILLED!!? (Shane Dawson. 'Nuff said. You should at least watch this one)
There are probably a bunch more, those are just the three I can remember right now ^_^

Anyway, I hope that totally makes up for 2 months of silence. Even if you didn't have a Valentine this year, I will be your Valentine everyday. I LUFF YOUUU!!

TWGS ♥

  1. DAMMIT, I wrote a super long comment and it got deleted when I tried to post it -.-

    Ok, I will summarize.

    I don't think Patrick Stump looks exactly like Patrick Stump without a hat, but other than that your drawing of him is super good, I wish I had drawing skillz like you.

    I liked your photography too, can't wait until you can get your good camera back so you can post more totally awesome photos :D

    You have a couple really cute friends, all the more reason to visit you :p

    Your trip to Italy sounds awesome, I would have picked Italy over France too (better food in Italy :p). I really hope when I go on my Germany/Austria/Czech tour next year my family takes me there or Switzerland.

    I'm going to be in Scawgo next year for a music thing, it'll be so weird being so close to you but still not getting to actually meet you in person xD

    Good luck funding your traveling, I've been working a bunch more now too so I can buy a bunch of stuff on all the school trips I'm going on next year xD

  2. I hate when that happens.

    Yeah. Even though he looks totally hot now that he's thinner, he's just not Patrick without his hats. I MISS HIS HATS.
    Thanks. I love it when people say that :P

    Why shank you. I have about seven more now because a new round of that photography contest is up, I just don't feel like posting it right now >_>
    And I hope so too! I just gotta find that receipt first.

    Pfft? Who in the world is cute?

    Ahaha that's one of the main reasons why I chose Italy. Plus, I knew people who were actually going... I'm thinking of going to France in my senior year though.

    OMIGOSH YOU SHOULD COME VISIT ME!!!!!
    If only... XD Like, how the hell would that work? What would I tell my parents? "Mom, Dad? Can you drive me an hour to Chicago so I can meet a girl I've met on the internet and even though I've never met her before in my life I feel like she could be my twin." That'll totally work out.

    Thanks! I'll need it. I was thinking of asking my sister if her restaurant was hiring, but she'd laugh and say, "I don't think you can handle working!" She actually said that to me before >_>
