Finals are over, school is out for the semester! I now have this elusive thing called "Free Time"



AND all the CRAP I went through this semseter is finally over! And my revenge against the woman who put me through all of this will be swift and compelete! And if I ever get it published, even better!

Supressed hostility? What sepressed hostilty?

And now for something fun!

FEATURES!!
First fifteen people who comment on this journal get a feature but they also have to offer features as well since the idea is not to just get a free one, but to give something as well.




THE SEMESTER IS OVER!!!!


EDIT: Darn it, looks like the free skins are over. Oh well.

Just an update to let ya'll know that I am indeed still living, even if I haven't posted anything or commented on anything in forever. School this semester is overwhelming, and I'm lucky to get fiveish hours of sleep a night. There is lots of work to do, as well as the observations that I do every semester (and this semesters' observations got a little messed up, so that adds to the confusion) not to mention work and, well, life. Life has gotten complicated too. And I just had oral surgery on Friday, so there's that going on as well. I am drawing, though, doodling throughout class. Hopefully soon I'll have something completed to post and I can get back on track with commenting on stuff!

But yeah. I am alive. Even if it doesn't seem like it!

No, seriously, they all are.

Anyway, one thing at at time.

First, my sister had joined DA! (she didn't have time to get an avvie tonight) Got me if she'll post anything, but I know she'll fav away! I'm not sure what exactly, but it will probably involve Justice League, Teen Titans and Avatar. I'm a good big sister to get her hooked on so many good shows! Anyway, every be really nice to her! (not that I think ya'll won't) If someone isn't I'll have to step in and take care of it!

School is going okay. I mean, I like this semester better then the other ones, but I think that's more because I actually have friends this semester. Not that I didn't last semester, but last semester was still so overwhelming! Anyway, it's nice to have people to hang out with. We've already planned a Halloween party and a road trip to Nashville! (okay, so the road trip is for a math teacher's conference thing, but hey, they give away free stuff! )

One professor has a really confusing sylabus. We're never quite sure what we're doing when. It's really confusing. And then another one we all loose her. Her voice will sort of trail off and we can't really hear her. And she'll crack herself up with something she said and we all kind of laugh out of reflex, 'cause no one's really sure what she said. Well, at least not where I sit. She also explains things really, really badly, so we're ususally lost in there. But we deal.

Then there's all the lesson plans we have to write. They're....confusing to say the least. I'm not exactly sure what we're doing. But then again, neither is anyone else, so I guess that's good!

Homework is killer, though. I keep, uh, not doing it until the breaks before class. I just can't seem to get it in my head what we have due when. It doesn't help that some stuff keeps changing on me. It ends up quite confusing, actually. Bah, I hate homework! (but I'll still give it when I teach!) As for observations, well....we'll see how those turn out. I'll give an update on them later, but I foresee problems cropping up, yes I do...

And my muses seems to have made a return. At least, in so far as drawing is concerned. I've had the urge and desire to draw and ink and color for a while now. I've posted some of it. Forgotten projects are being un-forgotten and inspiration is returning. And--to top it all off--I think I've hit one of those strides where something I just could not get before suddenly clicks, or at the very least starts too. It's nice!

My elbow is doing fine too. It's been five weeks since I broke it tomorrow, I do believe. I still can't straighten it all the way out, but it's coming along. It's much better then it was. I don't even have to keep taking Aleve every morning just to keep it from hurting! I can turn my wrist some without pain now--driving with two hands is great! Leting the left hand drive and the right hand rest or feed me or something is ever better!--although there is a limit to that, as I tend to painfully discover now and then. And there are still some things that I can't do, like pull up my hair and wash my hair and reach as far and pick up some stuff. It's kind of annoying--okay, really annoying. But still, it's getting better!

And....that's about it, really.

Hm...wonder if Restaurant City on Facebook is working agian....

Just a little update on my life. Brcause I haven't updated this in a while.

Basically I had great plans this summer. Drawing, writing...cleaning. I spent the first part of the summer goofing around some. Especially on Facebook. I really love Facebook. I;m having a grand time playing Castle Age, Restaurant City, FarmVille and YoVille. Dude, If any of ya'll are on Facebook, I'd totally love to find each other on there. Just note me and we'll get it figured out.

Anyway great plans, right? Well...I goofed around, and then started a class. I...didn't get much done then except for schoolwork. But at least the class was fun. That was a good thing.

Well, this summer my family seems to keep getting sick or having somesuch stuff happening. My grandmother--dad's mom--has been in and out of the hospital twice, along with us having to keep a close eye on her several times. Stuff's going on with her heart. First her heart had irrigular rythm to it. Now her pulse rate is weird. Sometimes up, sometimes down. We're not crossing out the possibilty of a pacemaker in the eventual (or not so eventual, depending on how things keep going) future. She's also had some memory problems and dizzy spells but we aren't sure that those weren't related to her meds.

In addition my immediate family has been running themselves to death trying to keep up with the above and all the other "normal" stuff we have too keep up with (aka, stuff we could really use help doing on a normal basis, but none of Grandmother's other kids or grandkids--with the exception if Crystal--can seem to find the time or inclination to help us with) My dad, bless him for being willing to work so hard, has gotten sick twice and I don't think is really over it. But he goes right back to working after one day of rest. There's just so much to do.

Mama already has has health problems and limited energy, so she's just running herself ragged. She often curls up at night, exhuasted, in the chair. I worry about her. I;ve been trying to do more to help her, but that's kinda been put on hold. Whoo me *sarcasm*

My sister has been sick once and just started high school. She has also been a grouch for the past three+ days. And she shouldn't be to me because she totally owes me. I've been letting her use my laptop since the desktop got a virus (she got mad when I wouldn't let her take it into her room and told her she couldn't keep using it after the desktop was fixed), I helped her whip together an awesome hippie costume in less then an hour, I let her borrow my neckklace for multiple days, she's been borowing my manga for months, oh, and she broke my elbow.

Okay, so she probably didn't. It was a bunch of things that conspired to break my elbow. But considering I've run on the hardwood floor in my socks a million times before without falling and breaking my elbow, I think the fact that she had been dusting with Pledge right next to where I slipped earlier in the day probably had something to do with it.

But yeah. I broke my elbow. Friday night. At first I thought I just jammed it. But when I noticed it didn't hang right in the shower, wouldn't straigten or completely bend and turning my wrist some hurt, I figured that something was pretty wrong. Especially when it still hurt like crap the next morning. Can we say ER trip? Luckily it's on my left arm so I can still write and draw and do stuff (although I am a little tired of one handed typing. BTW please ignore typos and misspellings) It's also a small fracture so that's good. It's on the radial head, though--where the bone on the thumb side meets the elbow--so I've got to be somewhat careful about turning my wrist. That's not too much of a problem, though, because it hurts when I turn my wrist so far. Any way, they put this splint thing on at the ER that was part cast and I wasn't allowed to take it off or get it wet. That was fun. (FYI--those things get smelly. Ick)

Anyway, went to an orthopedist today. I didn't have to get a cast. Yay! Instead, I havr an ace bandage wrapped tightly around my elbow and I keep wearing my sling. I can take it off to shower (YAY!! No more stinky arm! and I can scratch it, finally!) and I'm supposed to do gentle exercises with it. Exercises in bending the elbow. Gently. I think putting in and taking out my contacts should count.

But I'm of no help around the house. I can't even open my own food sometimes. So I can't vacuum, clean the bathrooms, shell peas (my word am I tired of the dang peas and canning beans!) or really do any housework. Normally, this is a good thing. But seeing as how everyone's exhausting themselves and I've been useless for a while (a few weeks ago I had oral surgery for the begining of giving me implants where I have some naturally missing teeth. I was rather out if it thanks to this painkiller called Lortab. It's good stuff, when you need it.) I'm not looking forward to continuing to be useless for a while more.

Maybe my sister will help out more!

....

*snort* Yeah....

Oh well. Since I can't do much of anything at the moment, maybe I'll have some art to post soon. I've got several things in the works, maybe I'll actually be able to finish them!

Anyway, just an update. Life goes on, etc, etc
