Depressed lately. I chalk it up to being still-kinda-sick and really worn out. Like I can even talk, I know everyone else has their shit that is worse than mine by miles and miles, but y'all know how much I love complaining about my life. It's pretty much how I communicate with people nowadays.

Eh. I need to go to bed.

/pointless entry.

Dear Emma:

Please learn to be more assertive with stalkers/creepers/pedophiles. It's okay to be mean to them.

No love,
Emma

In other news, I have not updated in a long time. I still love y'all, I'm just busy lazy. So, uh. Yeah. Got my hair recut, as most of you know. It's really cute. And short. :D I like it.

Also, ummm...? I got nothin'. Don't wait for further updates, I'm trying to maintain an image of 'doing stuff for the last week of summer and not going on dates with Nick'. So, uh. Yeah.

I feel like I'm turning into my sister, which is actually pretty awesome, considering what a badass she's being about the hornet attack. Did you know she has five stings and a very badly sprained (twisted? Broken? She says it's very painful, which is kind of the equivalent of her wailing in pain, which she never does) ankle? She's on crutches, can't really move her swollen thumb, and still refuses to let me get her food/painkillers, etc. What a fucking badass, amirite?

Yes. That is all.

Not necessarily a scientific one, but a rational one.

Also, status update: got up at eleven to eat peaches and chocolate cake for breakfast. =u= why is my life so magical.

location: Here. :D Sup. music: Hercules! She said: cake, explanations, my life is magical, peaches, science!, the summer i turned 16, writer's block

I'm skipping Taichou's words, because they're super deep and I'm not done writing on them yet, but I feel like I should post pointlessly, so here's me pretending to have a point. :P don't judge.

( Photography, money, monogamy, religion, eclipses. )

That's all for tonight. Hey Charles, what do you want for your birthday?

A three part response to this meme: Give me five topics to discuss and I'll discuss them here, in order. They can be any topics you like! I'll discuss anything.

( Part one: Keira's topics (she was first to comment, after all). )

Meme time. I'm bored.
( Emma has a headache... )
That is all. You may return to your lives. *runs off to cook*

Well. It's certainly been a while.

Hi, everyone.

Status update for anybody who cares:
My sunburn is peeling
I just pulled a thorn out of my foot, and it's been there for probably a week
My shins are still scabbed from blackberrry hunting with Keira
I have bite marks from my cat up and down my arms
I think my knees are still bruised from Safari Sam's
Geigny is matted
Tei is forcing me to sew things and refuses to let me write poetry
It's almost midnight






...and I'm having the time of my life.

location: Good ol' Portland. music: My cat purring. She said: bruises, cats, cuts, everyone who cares, geigny, life, status update, tei, the summer i turned 16

This is a bit of poetry I did, as part of a larger project. Y'all can read it if you like, and I always love feedback, but it's kinda crap.

( This is that thing I was telling you about. Part, anyways. )

location: I've been keeping this in my notebook for a while. mood: >:( music: Green Day, again. Damnit. She said: keira, life, muse, performance art, poetry, tei

i have a very happy cat in my lap right now.

So, for those of you who don't know, *coughcoughRachelcough* Masturbation Week has been postponed by it's original creator fehriku, so I'm skipping out on today's post. Also I have nothing to say on the subject.

Hmm... oh yeah. My sister is very pretty. Will likely post a link to the photo album I made of her on facebook to prove this point.

On an unrelated note, I started writing this sort-of poem-thing, but Tei turned it into performance art against my will, so I might put up parts of it for feedback. My hopeless beatnik sensibilities have given it rhyme and rhythm, but also a tune, which means I can't perform it myself. All the song parts are out of my vocal range, and it's a multiple-person piece, so even if I could sing, it wouldn't matter because I can't do all the parts myself. So. If I end up having it performed at any point (I had in mind a school talent show or something), I'd probably start trawling my flist for cast members. Just a heads-up. Anybody who's remotely interested can comment. Oh, it's not finished yet. It's really long, and I'm not yet halfway done. But I showed it to Keira, and she liked it.

Edit: Regarding my second paragraph; proof of photogenic-ness.

Edit 2: For my own benefit. =u= Also for my benefit.

READ IT HOLY GOD

Edit 3: Updated! Parts 1-7.

music: Green day, surprisingly. She said: hetalia, masturbation week, performance art, poetry, taichou

Hm... we'll see how long this gets before it goes under a cut. At first, I cut it because a number of people read this, including my mom, who may or may not want to know the details of her daughter's private sex life. Of course, she saw the first post, but not what was under the cut, so now she is forewarned, and can choose to read or not read this whole shindig.

Anyways. I actually have something noteworthy to talk about this time! After reading my sister's post, it appears I'm not the only one who can only fap in one position -- it's actually the same as hers, which would be a lot weirder were it not for twinpowers -- it's still a little creepy. Said position, were you wondering, is facedown on my bed. This is very inconvenient, because it means I can't do it standing up/in the shower, etc., and if I fall asleep like that, I'll suffocate (this has nearly happened several times).

Uh... I might put this next part under a cut, since it's about my dad, but it's pretty SFW.

( I found this out by accident. )

Anyshoes, that's all I have for today. Or, right now, rather. I might be back later. :D

She said: dad, fap, masturbation week, steven

Well, here's me getting a late start on Masturbation Week. For those of you who don't know, it's pretty self-explanatory. Post stuff relating to masturbation.

( I guess I should cut this just on principle... )

Well, that's kind of it. I don't have a whole lot to say :\ but I hope this little (late) entry qualifies.

Now, for something completely different.
( I had a great weekend. )
Uh... that was way too long. Anyone who can actually read that is a rockstar.

Dear F-list, but Charles especially: you want to read this. It's beautiful.

Now you see why she's one of my favorite authors. (Even though sometimes she writes silly things.)

So. I lost my thumbdrive today, and it's kind of important. It went missing in my first class of the day, Humanities. I really need it back, so I'm alerting you all to its absence. Probably I'll either find it or just give up and make up everything on it which is pretty much the last three months worth of my schoolwork, plus my final grades in Chemistry, Social Studies and Biotech/Engineering, not to mention close to a hundred pages of my personal writing but either way, I'll let y'all know.

Oh, it's a blue one of these: http://mobilitysite.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/image86.png with a metal ring on the end. 2GB, if it matters.

And yes, I realize that this is entirely my fault, and I'm going to try not to whine about how much my life sucks and it's not fair, yada yada, I know. I'm trying to pick up the slack when I'm not making pointless posts on LJ and it'll work out eventually. On that note, wish me luck!

Obviously, I want to appreciate my mom and dad -- neither of whom died in service, clearly, but both of them served for more than three years each, and did a lot of great things to protect and serve their country. I'm very proud of them.

Secondly, I want to recognize my great-grandfather. He was my mom's mom's dad. To be honest, he was a very fucked up guy, did a lot of horrible things (including to his wife and kids), but he was a prisoner of war in World War II, and survived the Bataan Death March. Also not dead, so I guess this doesn't count either, but considering how many people died in Bataan, living through it is just as memorable as dying in service.

I love barbequeing.

Okay, f-list. It's time to get honest. I'd appreciate it greatly if you all could comment on my annoying behaviors or request I change certain things -- I'm dumb, so I can't exactly guarantee anything, but comments are appreciated. Specifically, I'm wondering if people are irritated by my tendency to say 'it could be worse!' when they present their problems to me.

You can go anonymous, if you're worried I'll bite -- I don't, by the way -- or use your username. I swear I won't chew out anybody! Just some personal feedback. On that note, please be nice! I mean, don't hold back, but please don't rip me for my character... without reason, at least.

Macaroons are delicious. Yes they are. Especially vegan ones. Speaking of vegan foods, Taichou makes the best vegan tamales in the world.

On an unrelated note, ( Enrichments were this week. )
Yeah. That was that. Sorry for leaving off midsentence, I had to jet.
