So today was officially the first day of Tornado season (in my mind) as we had our first couple of tornadoes last night. Honestly, I had my music on so loud that I didn't even know it was storming. I was talking to Ty, Chris, and Xyle so I was distracted from the weather. I was also playing a GAME! A game that I got back the other day. An amazing game that I've been playing for the last couple of days. I was near the end and I remember I overcame a cool part and went "omg I can't believe I caught that minion!" And then all the stuff goes "djooooo" and the computer turned off. devastated, I went into the living room and looked at the TV. I was in there long enough to see a giant storm cell BLACK AND PURPLE headed my way and a tornado symbol just north of us. and then the power went out. Yeah. So I went to sleep. And that was my yesterday. I don't think the power came on until early in the morning. Also, if those links up there are wrong, I'll fix them later because I only have like 30 more seconds to finish this journal. Why I'm typing the first paragraph last is beyond me.

So it seems that I fallen off the face of the earth not only on LiveJournal, but also on DA for once! Go me :E Lately I’ve just been so busy that I haven’t even uploaded pictures I finished last week. Even though I’ve finished them I. . . just haven’t uploaded them. I also know that I promised to upload sketches onto LJ but I haven’t been able to do many of those either lately. As for an update on my life, I suppose I have time enough to tell you during this long, incredibly boring class period in which we do absolutely nothing except stare at our computer monitors. I’m writing this in a word document so it looks less conspicuous; I’ll paste it into LiveJournal. I’m so witty! Aha.</p>

Maybe I’ll have enough to talk about to occupy another hour and fifteen minutes of my time until the bell rings and I can go to my next long, incredibly boring class. School is one of the things that have been taking up a lot of my time. We’re reading The Kite Runner in English which, even though reading is something that is physically hard for me to do, I’ve really been enjoying it. If you haven’t read it already (because I know it came out quit a while ago) you should do so. It’s kind of dark but it’s still a good read. I’m really behind in all the work that I have to do for English and, two days ago, the teacher added a project on top of the pile. Thanks miss Price.

Another thing that has been occupying my time is learning Mandarin Chinese~ I've always really loved the sound of Asian languages and, a long time ago, this school used to teach Japanese. It's a shame it doesn't anymore, or I would have taken it. I wasted many years of my life in Spanish class or French class but not only were the languages not interesting to me, but they were difficult to learn since I didn't care too much to remember them. Recently I was talking to a friend and asked him if Shin meant anything in Chinese. XD He said it doesn't mean anything in particular but, somehow, this lead to him teaching me the language (how did that happen again, Jaantong? XD) Anyway, I'm having a lot of fun and I kinda wish I had a Chinese keyboard so I could type to him. I suppose I'll have to stick to the handwrite tool in MSN `_` He's gone right now, but I'm learning the characters he taught me before he left so, when he gets back, I can implode his brain with my terribly written Chinese. Yay!

Yesterday, mom wrecked her car. For those of you who live around me, she was in that one area on W. Vickery around the RailHead. :c That's a bad place to get hit. I don't really remember what happened and it was her fault but. . not on purpose. Accidentally her fault, does that make any sense? She was T-Boned in the passenger side by a little illegal Mexican lady who couldn't speak English was driving an SUV. In other words, she was all freaked out but it only scratched the front end of her bumper while, on the other hand, totally beat in the side of mom's car and busted her windows. Which means mom's car is going to be at the dealership for a while being fixed and, in the mean time, she's driving mine. I don't want to sound as selfish and inconsiderate as I really am and I really love my mom and feel sorry for what happened to her because I know that probably hurt her already terribly smashed up spine. But I will be an ass for a moment and say that if my car smells like smoke when I get it back, I will be less than pleased because I certainly will not be a happy camper if she causes me to have asthma attacks while driving my own car. She knows my asthma is really bad and she knows that she shouldn't even be smoking around me, let alone in my car.

I just hope her car gets fixed so she can get out of mine.
I also hope her neck is okay.

Lets see, I have 25 more minutes. What can I talk about.
Well, I've been thinking about resigning as admin of BDC because I can't even keep up with my own club, let alone that one. I feel really bad because I don't think they have anyone else who is willing to run the club and I was supposed to be leader of the team who is trying to promote the club. But do you see how much I have been submiting to DA? Yeah, nothing. This is completely eating up my time. I simply can't do it anymore. That and I'm a high-school senior about to go to college. I have other things to worry about. I'll have to resign. :c I'm really upset about it.

Changes are being made to the Xchange for this very same reason. With over 100 members this last month, there is absolutely no way I can even think of submitting every single one of those pictures. While they're all beautiful, I can't give everyone the password to the account and the watermark to put on their image. Because not only do I not like people on one of my accounts, but I simply can't trust that many people. This makes me wish that DA was somewhat like LJ in the way that, if you're in a community, you can post something. I dunno. The way it will have to change is: I favourite everyone's arts and put them in the journal so you can see who did what for whom, bu the ones I'll submit will have to be either the ones who finished first or the ones that I likes the most. I can submit on a day, I'm thinking. I'll make a poll about it. I hope people will still be willing to join in the xchange even if I can't submit everyone's art.
I have also made some BLACKLIST POLICE! That way I can handle submissions and I have a Police to warn people about the deadlines and upkeep the blacklist for me. c: I think it's a cool idea, courtesy of JMonster on DA, who is currently my only police. I don't think I'd need many more unless I got a lot more participants.

I wonder how many people will have to go up for adoption this month. Do I even want to think about it? I don't think I'll think about it.
When I get home, I'll submit that commission for Jaantong I finished last Friday.
Speaking of Friday, I didn't even know that today was Friday until someone told me it was like ten minutes ago! :D Is that amazing or what! That just made my day SO MUCH BETTER.
I can't believe it's Friday!

END JOURNAL
