Thursday-Sunday Update

 *spits and sputters about the HTML messing up and putting my pictures at the top of the entry instead of the bottom where they are suppose to be at*

 

And here is a close facsimilie of my ‘Personal Symbol’ for 2-D design…

 
Suppose I should of checked on the size of it…It didn’t start out that big before I scanned it! Anyway…It’s a coyote, a cresent moon, and a quill.

 

Thursday: Not much…Took the skeleton I bought for Sonja’s party to school with me today. His name is now officially Buddy. *laughs* [I really, honestly didn’t mean to name the skeleton after Todd’s dog.] He’s missing a foot…His left foot had a bit of an accident. I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to get it back on, but I haven’t given up completely yet.
Reese strapped him to her backpack and carried him around that way most of the day. He sat on my lap during 2-D design.
I’ve come to the conclusion he’s going to be the subject of my out of class study for Drawing II.

I picked up 13 rubber rats, and four mini headstones, as prizes for games/etc. Thus far there will be ‘Bone hunt’ (like an Easter egg hunt, but with bones), Pumpkin carving, Making paper masks…And…Pin-the-Tail-On-the-Rat.
Sonja came up with a really good idea…We will all sit in a circle, and someone will start a scary story, they will be holding the skull I got the other day, then they will pass it on to the next person who will continue with the story.

*has to go hook the giant rat together* *has to cut out the masks to decorate*

*mind goes blank* Uh…There was something…I’m sure there was. *shrugs*

Anyway…Side note. Grades thus far…
………………………..Creative Writing 3.0-3.35 (whatever those to average out to)
……………………………….Drawing II 2.5
……………………………….2 D-design 3.5
……………………………..Life Drawing 3.0

Friday: Fieldtrip & Halloween Party.

The trip to Avalanche Bay was better than I was expecting. I was tired and worn out most of the week, and not really looking forward to it. The day started out with the coffee pot throwing up instead of making me coffee…So I was off on the adventure without caffeine to help me along.

I got given three kids to watch after, and a fourth one declared he was migrating from his group and was going to be in ours. I pretty much lost track of them for most of the time, though occasionally I’d know where all of them were…And was even with some of them on occasion. *shrugs* It apparently worked. But seriously, it would be really hard to keep everyone happy and in their groups at a water park.

The kids dragged me all over…Then for a while I was left to my own devices. At one point I was ready for a nap (the second hot tub zapped what energy I had previously).

Four kids got off the bus with Sonja after school…We did the bone hunt while it was still light out…We were carving pumpkins when the fifth kid showed up. So she didn’t have too bad of a turn out. She had invited nine…Five ended up here…One was grounded, One’s Mum was *shrugs* whatever, One had previous plans…And I’m not sure what was with the fourth one.

The two boy’s people came to claim them…Then we had to take the one girl home. Two girls stayed the night (would of rathered of taken one of them home and have kept the girl we did take home. I swear the one child was quite obnoxious).

But…I think everyone had fun…The rat for pin the tail on the rat is still on the sliders, with a bunch of extra tails stuck to his poor little backside. *laughs*

 

Saturday: My head hurts…I’m tired. I didn’t sleep very well last night. No surprising, all the extra little bodies. [Okay, yeah, only two extra bodies, but unless they are certain specific extra bodies, extra bodies make me uncomfortable…I do not like ‘alien beings’ in my personal space.]

Apparently the household is going to go to a play in Kalkaska at the one restaurant. It’s the play that Reese, Nightmare, Gunnar, Freshman, Chika (Butterflies&Sunshine), and Mayonnaise Joe are in. *has loaned Sonja my clothing again* More or Mayonnaise Joe’s benefit than anything…As he’s already frightened by here…Figured we’d give him a good reason to be. *laughs*

Seriously…I have no idea what it’s about…But it’s something to do, I suppose. Though so is napping, which is what I’d really like to do about now. Or eating, as stomach is growling, apparently the popcorn ball I just ate isn’t enough to keep it happy.

I’m getting…paranoid…a bit again about Todd. It’s just the not hearing from him…I start to worry. I know I shouldn’t. With the things he’s told me, I should know better…I should be more confident in us. I just miss him so much…And *shakes head* I don’t know when I’ll even get to talk to him again, let alone spend any time with him. L

[Oh yeah…Got six pizzas the other night…We only ended up cooking two! So we still have four bloody pizzas! *falls over* The one girl wouldn’t even eat the pizza…She wanted a peanut butter and jelly sandwich instead. *rolls eyes* This being one of the ones that stayed even…And I was wishing she would have been one of the ones to go home!]

Less than a week to Halloween…I still have finishing touches I need to do…Still don’t have an Indiana jacket for Harley…I don’t see me finding one in time either. This is why I always want to make sure things are done before hand…But I always get, ‘No, no, no…Halloween is *insert amount of time here* away. You’ve got plenty of time. *shakes head* *sighs*

Well…I’m going to finish this up for the moment…Go find food…And return to it of the latersness, when perhaps I’ll have something (though I doubt it) worthwhile to say.

Sunday: Yeah…A bit more laterness than I had intended…But I was so tired last night that I couldn’t even think of doing anything that might of resembled being constructive.

Anyway…The play was called…‘The Mouse That Roared’. It was amusing. It even kept Harle

y mostly entertained…Though I think he just liked picking out the people he knew from the cast. *laughs*

Had another one of my feel like crying before bed moments last night…Then lay down and cuddled with Harley and drifted off to sleep. I seriously was not expecting the phone to ring…When it did ring, my eyes were so dried out and blurry I couldn’t even read the caller I.D. [Not that I would have recognized the number anyway.] But per usual of my late night phone calls…Twas Todd on the other end of the phone. J So yeah…I’m feeling a bit better on that front again.

Todd asked me if I’d missed him…*shakes head* Would think he’d know by now, anyway…I asked him why he thought I keep calling. Told him I call him because I miss him, and are hoping by some slight chance he might accidentally answer the phone.

He also said that this was the first time he’d been able to relax since, well, the last time he was here! *smiles* [Okay, it sucks that he hasn’t been able to relax in over a week…But good that he feels he can relax here.]

Today I had one of those deja vu moments…I know that it was something that I’d dreamt awhile back, though with a difference or two.
Sonja and I were in the kitchen carving pumpkins (Yesh, more pumpkin carving…The Critters had their big two [Which Harley had me carve his for him.], and there were the ones left over from the party.), and there was something said…I think…I can’t even remember now. But I knew where the moment had come from, and I knew what the differences were. Like I knew the body in the other room was vastly different (as in the one that was still fast asleep at that point). In the dream it had been Mike. *shudders* And seriously, even while dreaming I knew the ‘feeling’ that all was how it was suppose to be was not right. This time though…It felt much more right…Like everyone was where they belonged, with those they belong with…If that makes any sense.

Worked a bit more on the Critters goodie bags for their class parties…10 are all sewn…10 are sewn all expect handles…& 10 have two out of the four side seams sewn. Once I get them all caught up to each other…I have to glue down 30 designs. [Which I still need to get most of them cut out.]

Costumewise…I need to make me a belt…Make the scrolls for me to carry on my back…Find a jacket for Harley (which is proving near impossible)…Mend a couple of holes in Sonja’s ‘butt-bow’.

I’ll answer the ‘one question’ s that I got soon…Didn’t want to toss it at the end of all of this…So if anyone else wants to ask a question, there is still time!
