TEMPORARY HIATUS (2 WEEKS)!

Saturday, August 28th, 2010

I’m going to be taking a temporary hiatus. Just from BCF. I kind of want a break without the constant reminder that I should be updating here because at the moment, I don’t have much to say. School starts soon and I start my new job. I want to see how these things go.

I will be back probably on SEPTEMBER 11TH — two weeks from today.

That will have given me time to get back into the school routine, see how work pans out, and essentially just remove myself from the lazy summer life. I set myself a reminder on my phone so I won’t forget to come and update you guys on that day.

I will still be updating deviantART (as it’s my photo gallery) and tumblr (because I am determined to do this 365 project).

So see you guys in two weeks. (:

Sunday morning, rain is fallin’

Sunday Morning by Maroon 5.

I love this song so much.

A lot has happened since my last update, which was quite a while ago really. I just found out today that I did, in fact, get accepted into the Illinois Institute of Art! And as per request by my adviser, you should all know the school is awesome. So that kind of tones down my worries about college. I know where I’m going, and I know when. I just have to figure out how I’m going to pay for it, haha. So that leaves me with a year to tackle as many scholarships as I possibly can.

As of August 30th, I no longer am employed by a gas station. As of September 1st, I am employed by a truck stop/restaurant as a buser/dish person. Wish me luck with the new job!

I got my deviantART bag for my camera and it is awesome. It’s just a little awkward to use right now because it’s so top heavy. That’s where the camera goes. And the bottom is currently empty because I do not own any lenses. I’ve considered transferring my uncle’s film camera into it just to add more weight to make it sit right but. Hah.

I started a painting of Bear. I kind of should get to work on that again, actually.

I started Beowulf, and I love it. I have to do three journal entries per book (Beowulf and Oedipus) and I got one third of the way through Beowulf, so I have one sixth of my assignment done. Haha. I just haven’t done more because it’s much easier to read when I don’t have the computer in use. At the time, I was doing updates/virus scans/defragmenting and everything. Which is why I got so much done.

I finished Call of Duty 4 – Modern Warfare. I played it last weekend with my uncle and we took turns finishing it off. Now I need to get Call of Duty 4 – Modern Warfare 2. Also, when they come out, I need LittleBigPlanet 2 and Batman – Arkham City.

Band Camp starts next week. During that time I’m going to be doing my APUSH homework with my friend as well as going to see the new Cats and Dogs movie. I remember the first one from when I was little. I really wanted to see Vampires Suck! It looks hilarious. I loved the Scary Movies though so that’s probably why.

I have ordered four shirts from Threadless. One I ordered earlier this week and was shipped already (waiting for it to come) and the other three I ordered first today. One of them I got for the purpose of my senior pictures, which I have to take. As soon as I find my tripod at any rate. It should be interesting, doing this myself. I wish I had someone to at least give me a hand, ha.

And… that’s it. I think.

I have been here many times before

I’ve decided, since I kind of stink at coming up with titles for things, I’ll just use song lyrics. Unless it is an article or something that does have an actual title. This blog’s title comes from Breathe Me by Sia. I love this song so much, and the music video is simply fantastic.

I have also decided that I’m going to try to blog more. Previously I tried to wait and give people a chance to read and comment if they so chose, considering I don’t have many visitors each day. But, if I end up blogging twice in the same day now, so be it. I’m just letting you know so that you can check for more than one, if you are an avid reader.

Today marked the first day of a long week of working morning shifts. It went pretty well, which is probably because the boss was gone. Where he was, I don’t know, but I can’t honestly complain. It’s not that I don’t like him, or that he scares me (like my co-workers suggest he does one of the other stockers). It’s just that, it’s uncomfortable. I feel tons more pressure to not mess up even though he usually has something to complain about anyway. So things just tend to go smoother when he’s not there.

The only good thing is that now I have the rest of the day to do whatever I please, rather than having to take a few hours off to go and work second shift.

At work today when I was in the cooler, I was looking at Mountain Dew and Mello Yello. I always find it amusing how most people (to my understanding) prefer Coke over Pepsi, although one is hard pressed to come across someone who hates Mountain Dew, which is actually a Pepsi product. Coke’s alternative is Mello Yello which is my personal preference, although I am not against Mountain Dew. MY and MD are similar in actual contents as well, although MY has less sodium. They both have the same total calorie intake, yet they have varying 8 fl oz calorie intake (like, you know how the nutritional facts list “8 fl oz” and “for this package” or whatever). Can anyone explain how that works? D:

I just thought it was weird. And figured I’d bring it up. Whoo for random, pointless conversation.

I also kind of want to make a new layout. Yes, yes, I know. I’m an idiot. But I can’t help it.

And one last thing… I WANT ONE!

1. Which do YOU prefer: coke or pepsi?
