just a random photo



this is my friend Holly and me at eight grade graduation. I'm uploading this here so i can clip it and use it for something on polyvore, so it's not COMPLETELY random...

My brother is the source of all tension in this house...

My mom and my brother are fighting in the living room right now. And my dog is whining in the kitchen.. for... something.
My brother and my mom always fight... They fight like some people's parents fight. And they always fight about the same thing. The universal cause of stress, unhappiness, trouble, pain, sorrow, and inconvenience: Money. I'm seriously surprised no one's started screaming or cussing yet. I think my brother just got up... never mind. Wait... yup. he throws his arms up and slaps his knees, then gets up and leaves in defeat. And now he's grumbling and talking to himself... something he always does when he doesn't get what he wants. Now my mom disappeared after putting the chicken in the oven... I'm worried that she's going to smoke. She says she only smokes when she gets super stressed out... even though i tell her each cigarette shortens her life by 12 minutes...
I think it's pointless to fight with a parent or authority figure about money to buy pointless things like soccer shoes and video games(anything else, I think is fine.) It is so utterly and completely stupid. You're never gonna win. I find the best way to stay out of that kinda stuff is to not bite the bait. No temptation, blah blah blah. Just let it hang and swim for calmer waters... i mean, why get all worked up for a fight that's already been decided? It's like a chihuahua fighting a horse. The chihuahua may think it has the upper hand cuz it's smaller, quicker, and shit, but the horse is stronger, bigger, and all around a better fighter. That may not be the BEST analogy, but hey, it's all i could think of.
You wanna know why my brother has no furniture in his room? No, it wasn't because my parents are punishing him. It's because he got so mad (over something I don't really know) he moved out all his furniture in to the spare bedroom (which now has twice as much furniture as it should) so now he just sleeps on a mattress on the floor. He makes the stupidest decisions when he's angry. And living in the basement, I heard all the screaming and pounding, and furniture moving cuz his room is right above mine.
Oh well, the fight's over now, (probably will pick up later) so whatever.

today...yadot

Goodness,today has just been the most productive day all summer! haha, kidding. Today i pretty much woke up, watched Tom and Jerry and Victorious (again, Avan Jogia is a hunk) and been floating around on the internet all day... well actually i guess i did make a quiz on quiz monster (facebook) called "Who's Your Flock Mate? (Maximum Ride)" because i was bored.. i used all the questions from the Fang app and i had to make up some...
Anyway, I did draw a new pic. (duh.)



I know the face is screwed up, but that's because i can't do faces, I'm sorry.

Oh, i guess I've been learning some Italian too! (app on my iTouch) But so far I only know some basic phrases, and some food and drink terms...

"Mi piace chibo!" (I want food. haha)
"Mi dispiace.." (I'm sorry..)

and some random stuff like that.

My mom finally decided that I could dye the bottom half of my hair red. (I only want half red, cuz Fang likes red hair, but Max has brownish hair ;)so it's half half, haha) I want it done like this chick:



her name is Circe, I think... I have no idea, to be perfectly honest.

But I've wanted red hair since I was in fourth grade when I discovered hair dye. (yeah...) And then when i discovered Hayley Williams and she had red hair, i practically BEGGED my mom to let me dye my hair red for like, three weeks. So I'm super excited to get it dyed n_n But if the whole red hair thing doesn't work out, I'm gonna chop it short. :)

Drawing



so (as promised) i did a drawing of Fang... didn't spend too much time on his face... probably shoulda spent more working on it... doesn't really look like Fang... I'll try again tomorrow... no sleep in 26 hours is catching up to me... I guess I'm no avian-american... though i am a avian-american supporter. I'd love to join the flock, but I feel like i'd be a burden, and I would want no part in the constant "being hunted" business... oh well. I'll still probably post later. It's not even nine yet.

^Maile!^

sleepless night...

didn't get ANY sleep... I was up til (probably) 12:30 drawing, then I finished the rest of The Final Warning, and started then finished MAX... startin to get light out...

I've been dog-earring the pages with quotes that made me smile, laugh, or I thought was adorable (max&fang, ahem).

Do I think Max is the most amazing girl ever?
she's pretty up there

Did I cry when Nudge left, then returned?
ABSOLUTELY!!!!

Do I think Angel's a complete psycho?
no friggin duh

team fang or team iggy?
team maximum (the whole bunch, duh.)

Do I HATE Brigid?
YES!

I NEED to get FANG. I hear where that's all the stuff (you know that I haven't read yet. [DUH. wow I am articulate.] ) happens. but the only version available at WalMart is the hardback.... for like 13 bucks. they don't have it at Sam's Club... and we have no decent book store in town... (I wanted to write to the city, demanding a border's or barnes&noble's, but I guess that would throw the family owned business in the dog house.) so I guess I have to wait til my mom takes me somewhere with an actual book store til I get it. T_T it's agonizing. Anyway, since it's... what? the fifth now, I'll probably post something later.

Funny Test Story

so I heard this story today... (well yesterday I suppose now) but it went something like this:

there was a college boy who took classes in the study of ornithology (study of birds) and it was a test day. his professor (being the professor he was) didn't give a normal exam. instead of multiple choice, or fill in the blank, or essays, or anything like that, he only had pictures posted all around his classroom. But the pictures were only of the birds' legs. Overwhelmed, the boy went to his professor and said, "I can't take this test." and his professor said, "if you don't take this test, you get an F" and the boy replied, "I won't take this test, so you can give me an F." so the professor said to him, "ok. you have failed this test. now tell me your name so I can write it in." So the boy rolled up his pant leg and said, "You tell me."

hahaha true story.
