Mother's Day + Bowling Club + Art Show.

<---I drew this for my Drawing final last semester. It got into the art show!! *does a happy dance* =w=


Well, as predicted, the weekend FLEW by. Again. -__- I'm really starting to hate it...I was busy enough this weekend anyways, so I can't complain about being bored or anything.

First off--it's Mother's Day! 8D I gave my mommy much love (like I always do, hahaha), though I completely forgot about Mother's Day, so I couldn't make her a homemade card! D: And I hate going out to buy a store card, because it's not the same as a card that you make yourself. :/ So I felt really bad, but she told me that it's not a big deal. Yay. ^__^

Today was also my last day of bowling club, and of course, it's the one day I do terrible. >_< I'm not really a bad bowler, it was just a shitty bowling day for me. And of course it's the day when we're doing prizes (gift cards to Best Buy, each worth five dollars). And my bf wins six of 'em, and I walk out with nothing. I was quite discouraged. I hate when I don't win. :/ Ah well. You can only do so much with a five dollar gift card to Best Buy anyways...you virtually can buy nothing. xD Still though, I don't think the whole prize thing is fair. All the good bowlers that are in bowling club ALWAYS get the prizes. Always! >__< It sucks!!

Anyways...

My school's art show was today, too. ^_^ My bro, mom, and I went over and looked at all the really cool art that was up. My Mad Hatter picture that I drew for my Drawing final was submitted into the show, and I also submitted one of my original pictures. My pics didn't get any awards. :/ My Mad Hatter lost out to freaking Lady Gag-Me-Ga-Ga- 'twas a depressing defeat. -__- And some of the stuff that got Honorable Mentions wasn't even that GREAT. My friend Gina (who is an AMAZING artist) had her own wall of flipped out stuff that was just AWESOME, and she didn't get any awards either. I was actually really pissed off for her. A close-up photograph of a jean pocket won out to her stuff.

It just goes to show that art is in the eye of the beholder. Art can NOT be judged-- it's just how an individual sees a piece of art, and then they have their own opinion of it. That's all it is. I personally think that an art show shouldn't have any awards or judges criticizing work-- art should just be displayed up on the walls for all to enjoy. It shouldn't have to be a contest. (:

Okay, well, that's all I have to say. I'm gonna go jump in the tub, and then read three chapters of The Great Gatsby. What joy awaits me~~

Busy Busy Saturday

Geez, from the second I woke up this morning, I've been running around non-stop. X__x But I'm cool with that, because I like to be busy.

Woke up at around 9ish, which is pretty late for me (I'm usually up at 8:00 or so, yet I was up until 1:30AM last night). Got ready and mom and I had to go clean my cousin's house. :P And boy, we're NEVER going back there again. The place was a freaking pig-sty!! A pile of dirty dishes in the sink (that have probably been in there for a couple of days), dust EVERYWHERE, the bathroom a wet MESS...it was NOT fun. My mom was mad as a hatter because of how messy and how much of a slob my 25 year old or so cousin is...we almost walked out. .__. But we didn't, and we made $50though, so not all is lost. Mom gave me &20. :3 Yaaaay I finally have money!!

So THAT was a great start to a Saturday. :P We got out of the house at 2, went home, chilled on the computer for a half hour, and had to get ready for my boyfriend Ryan's sister's First Communion party (my third communion party this month!) I got to the party at 3:30ish, and I met Ryan's family, who are all Polish. :3 It was interesting, because at times they would speak Polish. lol. xD And they had CAAAAKE!!! @__@ AND PINBALL!!! Their basement's like a mini arcade/casino or somethin'. It's pretty boss.

Being quite bored at the party, me, Ryan, and his older brother Tom went out and about on a car ride. xD We went to put-put, but that was closed because of the rain (it was hardly raining, though. I was maaadd. ==" ), yet we saw a really pretty rainbow!! 8D Then we drove away and went to Kroger and walked around, acting crazy.

Aaaaaand now I'm home. ._. With a LOT of work to do for school...a Romeo and Juliet poster for my friend, have to read up to chapter six of The Great Gatsby, and a history paper. Aren't I gonna have fun tonight...and tomorrow. Gaaaah. x__x

Tomorrow's mother's day as well. And I completely forgot. Dx

Weekend is Within My Grasp...

It's Friday.

YAYZ.

One week down (not quite, yet I just have to get through my web design class and 7th hour xD ), three more to go until I'm done with my sophomore year and summer break can begin!! :D I get out on the 27th, then study for finals all Memorial Day weekend, and then finals the first week of June. Then I'm free.

I'm so happy. 8'D Though I thought sophomore year of high school wasn't so bad! o.o Everyone says that sophomore and junior year are killer, but...it wasn't that challenging for me. Probably because I'm not in honors chemistry. xD I'm pretty sure I'll have a hell of a junior year, if I think soph year wasn't too difficult. Because I have to take speeeeech. And that shall be my downfall. :'( Gaaah...

But anyways, I'm glad that the weekend's only about an hour away. (: I have a lot of schoolwork that I have to get finished over the weekend, but I'll have enough time...hopefully I won't put everything off until Sunday. ^^; I have a slight feeling that that might happen. *shrugs shoulders*

Time

Time goes by too fast.
Yet it goes too slow.
When you want it to slow down, it flies.
When you want it to hurry, it takes forever.
The days go by too quick.
But they can drag on and on and on...

Time I want you to STOP!
Time I want you to GO!

I don't know what I want from you. Though it doesn't make a difference.
I can't stop you. I can't hasten you. You go your own pace.
Though it's the same pace every day.

Seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, weeks, years...
Savour every moment.

My opinion on time this week. The days seem to be going by so fast (it's Thursday already!), yet they seem so long at the same time! I don't get it! Why?! I feel like school just drags on, but when I get home it goes by in the blink of an eye. Especially when I lay down to sleep- I'll go to bed at 10:30, and BAM! Time to wake up. I'm lying there going, "...what? I JUST fell asleep."

Maybe I've been feeling this way because I only have 15 days left of school? ^^; That's probably the reason...

The Rose's Dark Elegance

The lady and gentleman stroll through a field of black roses,
Their idea for a perfect date.
His pale arm plunges deep into the mass of black roses and plucks one from the glistening silver soil, hoping to find the perfect one for his morbid mate.
The arm reels back and in his grasp resides the most beautiful rose,
With petals of deep velvet and sharp, gleaming thorns.
He turns toward his lover, and gently places the rose into her straight, jet hair,
Being mindful of the rose's thorns that may pierce her.
Her ghost-pale hand raises up to touch her newest hair accessory,
Long fingers elegantly stroke the velvet petals in admiration, and soon they glide the steam of protruding thorns.
Gleaming ruby eyes of the lady lock onto the ice blue ones of the gentleman,
The beautiful rose reflecting in each other's eyes.
The lovers exchange a passionate kiss, and resume to stroll through the
Endless field of black flowers, their date never ceasing.

This is a poem I wrote in December of last year. The purpose of writing it was for my school's literary magzine (which goes on sale tomorrow! gonna pick up my copy!! :D ), and I hope that my poem is in it. It'll make me extremely happy that it is because...then I know that my poem doesn't suck. ;D

My Fave Anime Songs

Just in case none of you know, I'm in LOVE with anime. Seriously. It's an obsession...it's a good one, though, so don't worry. XD But yeah, I've been entranced with anime ever since I was young. I started out watching Sailor Moon and Pokemon (the popular animes of my time), and I really got enticed into anime (and actually knew what it was, for that matter) when I hit 7th grade. Even up to 10th grade for me, my love for anime has never wavered. XDD

Anyways, I've complied together some AMVs (anime music videos) that play my favourite anime songs. (: They're not in any particular order...I'm just going down my favourites list on my youtube page. XD Check 'em out:

Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum

Boy, this place was absolutely EPIC. @__@ One of the most random places I've ever been to in my entire life....no...let me correct myself- it WAS the most random place I've ever been in my life.

>

Right when me and my friends walked in, we were like, "Whoa...where the crap do we even begin?!" o__o The whole place was FILLED with all this neat, old-fashioned stuff! I honestly can't describe it....you seriously just HAVE to go there and see everything for yourself.

Here's a little summary of what my friends and I did:

• spent the first 10 minutes or so just gawking at all the awesome, strange displays that were crammed into the joint. xD
• tried out some of the exhibits (I got my fortune from Zelda the Fortune Teller and this old Asian guy :D ).
• played some of the newer video games...one of 'em we all did was a jet ski one...that I got second place in. Astonishing for me, really...
• played some pinball. I played on the Adams Family one. :D
• almost cried because of the fact that there was a 65 pound limit on the carousel. T___T
• watched as my boyfriend PWND Dance Dance Revolution.
• we all crammed into a photo booth and got our picture sketched! XD Oh man, that was AWESOME...Paulina's gonna hand out a copy to me tomorrow. :3
• won the jackpot at this Sonic the Hedgehog game!!! 500 TICKETS, BABY!!! I spent those tickets and the ones I won before on a cow Beanie Baby and a ton of Hershey Kisses. xD

And that's all I can think of at the moment. ^^; But seriously, if you're ever bored out of your mind one day, GO TO MARVIN'S. You will NOT be disappointed, I promise. *pinky promises* :)
