Merry Christmas!! :D What did you get for Christmas??
Ok, so I didn't get much. But I don't mind. :D I'm happy with what I have... quite nice, actually. I got some Threadless shirts, a ticket to a Yoyoma Concert in March (WOOT!!!!) and a $50 Best Buy Gift Card. And another $50 in cash. NOthing too extravagant... a friend of mine got a computer AND a laptop, so currently she's swimming in lucky :D Cuz that's all she's been talking about lately, how she wants that? XD Lucky Duck... I'm happy for her.
I still have to work on my essay though, and another thing or two. And university applications... So I think I shall go work on that now... That or packing for Missionary boot camp... I swear I'm SOOO cool :P

It's Holiday Time!!

OMG LOL + snow... lots of it
Hey! Long time no update, methinks. I do think of this blog often, but... nothing interesting and un-personal I could add, not to mention way to busy. But now that it's Christmas Vacay, I can officially update with my hilarious story from last Tuesday.
So I was getting ready for the home journey after tutoring my grade 10 tutor-kid :D she's great. But anyways, so I'm walking to my locker, and by the front doors near my locker, there's these big ballin' gangsta black guys talking in their crazy deep voices. As usual, I just walk past people I don't know, and go to my locker within earshot of them. While getting my sstuff, I overhear a snippit of their conversation. Namely "...Gwen Stacy is supposed to be a nerd." I immediately look up and shout "ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT SPIDERMAN??!!" They're all shocked, and are like... "yeah..." I'm like "They ruined her in the movie though... Gwen's supposed to be Spidey's first girlfriend..." They're all "That's just what we were talking about!"
So I ended up talking about spiderman the comics and how different they are from the movies with a group of ballin' gangsta boys... That are probably twice my height. OMG. That made my week XD
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On another note, it's snowing like mad outside. They say 20-40 cm. I doubt it... I think it'll be more. Looks like it already is, and it isn't even over yet. I got a drive home from school today... quite the amusing thing, to see that much snow while my brother's friend drives me :P
Oh! And I sang in the Christmas Assembly today! It was nerve wracking. I have to get better at singing in front of people. I'm sure one day I'll be better at it :P
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On another note again, I won the National Book Award from U of T. That means I get a book... how exciting (It's the 'close but no cigar' award... the finalists for the other award get lots of money DX) and I also got $20 gift card to Wendy's, which is always amusing :D

Apparently Younha like food...
So... (Because I have no life and would rather not work on my really long report for English Class on Body Modification) I was sifting through (my current obsession) Younha's Blog on her Japanese site...
Apparently she likes food. I swear at least 75% of her photos on her blog have something to do with food. Not so much on the korean one, but... it's harder to reach that anyways. I mean, really... The girl likes to eat. Good thing to show, I guess, cuz that means she's not anorexic... always happily munching away on some Japanese dish or another... there's even a before-after pic of how large one portion was and how she completely finished it XDDD
And she can definitely write in Japanese (Not that I can read it). I mean, I've seen Seiyuu blogs, with the whole mini sentences and fufufu-ing and stuff... and comparably, Younha writes paragraphs of information each time. It's stupendous... makes me happy that I'm currently fangirling over an intelligent singer... definitely not just a pretty face and voice here :P
Did I mention she can sing in 4 languages? Japanese, Korean, English and allegedly Mandarin too :P That's epic.
I first found out about Younha when she sang Houkiboshi... I think that may have been her first big hit... since then (I think it's been 3-4 years) she has had her Japanese album reach #12 on the Oricon charts, and both of her Korean albums have reached #1... this is definitely rivalling YUI, but I think Younha wins, cuz she has a larger vocal range, her English and other language skills are better, she did all this despite parental resistance, and many refusals from Korean recording companies for not being 'pretty enough'... I think she's plenty fine :D
Reminds me of how Bi was also turned down... for his face :S Despite being able to dance/sing really well XDDDD
Anyways, back to the crazy workload that is School :(

RIP Debra Styles
Yesterday, at 9:30 pm, a good family friend finally succumbed to her fight with cancer. She'd been struggling against it for much too long, but now she is with the Lord. She leaves behind 2 young children and a grieving family, but I'm sure she is happy now.
It was almost unbearable today in church... she and her family usually sit together in the front right rows of the church. They were empty today. We were heart broken, and all throughout the sermon, you could hear people crying, sniffling. I hope Debra knows she has touched many of our lives...
Thank you very much for teaching me to love everyone unconditionally. Thank you for all the undeserved hugs you gave me, and thank you for teaching me to hug others even if they have not done anything. Thank you for your happiness and infectious energy. Know that you have changed my life for the better, and that I can't wait to meet you in Heaven. Please say hello to my grandmother for me. Thank you for always being there during your days of health, in choir. You were always the happiest and most energetic choir member. In every way, you will be missed...
Thank you for the great memories and wonderful lessons. Ever since I heard the news, I have randomly had times when I just felt like tearing up and crying my eyes out. Forgive my selfish tears; I just wanted one more hug.
I'm sorry I couldn't say goodbye. I was sick, and I thought that would have made you worse... I now regret my decision. I'm happy to know that my mom said goodbye for me. I'm happy to know that my mom was of help to you in your final days... I'm sorry I couldn't have been there for you too.
Did you see us today from your new home as we cried in church? Or are you too busy meeting new people? Are you singing for Jesus like you sang for Him all those years in choir? Are you singing even stronger now that there's no cancer, and now that your energy has returned in full? I hope so. Life here isn't quite the same anymore...
RIP Debra Styles. You will be sorely missed.

WINDOWS LIVE SCHOLARSHIP!!!!
WHAT??? WHAT???? WHAT??????? I WON WHAT????
Ok, backing up for you :D
I entered the Window's Live Scholarship... Microsoft Future Student 2020 Competition <-- that one. I got the entry in 1 day before, and I think I clocked about less than 12 hours working on this thing...
I got an email today from Microsoft... I WON $5000!!!! MY ENTRY ON AUGMENTED REALITY WON~!!!!
What's Augmented Reality? Go watch Dennou Coil. That's all I'm going to say.
So, I'm one of 5 that won them in all of North America...
only reason I even knew about it is because I accidentally clicked on the Window's Live Update message when I got it in September, instead of clicking delete. Then I saw the link, and I was intrigued by Scholarship Money...
I feel lucky. Apparently Nessa says I should :D Something about Good Karma. I say 'Hand of God'. This is the coolest thing EVER!!!!!
Now to send some stuff off to people and then the cheque is sooooo in the mail :D

School, scholarships, and other death-inducing things
Hey all! I've been slow :P And haven't updated for a while! It's ok XDDD No one reads this anyways.
School is swamping people with work. Already. I have an ISU due, followed directly by an essay 2 weeks later, and I also have several tests and an odd assignment due soon too. But that's all later.
and Scholarships. Oh-eM-Gee. I could die of scholarship applications. That's how many I'm working on. I really want to pay off my schooling before I start though, so I'm going to enter as many as possible. Fun Times!! XD Good Bye Free Time!! Maybe I'll be able to meet you again soon! Like, when I keel over! Then I'll have all the free time in the world!! DX
Good news though, I successfully got school nominations for 2 very prestigious scholarships, but I've now limited my university choices to one. XD
And I'm currently confused. About life. So... teenager angstiness. What's new? XDDD Nothing. I'm obviously not the first person to have gone through this, so I'm sure something or someone out there will be able to help me. In fact, I've already found that person *hugs her* XDDD
And I also got a new phone. Same number though. I can officially set my own background from images on the computer, and it has a memory card, and I can put songs on it. It's an mp3 phone, but it can't use personalized mp3 ringtones. Sound familiar to you? Maybe it's cuz it's yours! XDDD Ya. that's what you get for getting free phones XDDD
Until the next random update!!

Gah
So... I'm sick. Slightly. Better than yesterday, but still sick. It's entered the "less uncomfortable but more coughy" stage. Haha... coffee. *is dead*
Lost a mark on my math test for stupid reasons, but that's to be expected... can't get perfect... would be weird. I barely know anyone in the class >_>;;
Anyways, I'm trying for tons of scholarships, think you guys can give me a heads up of what about? Cuz that'd be awesome. free money is ALWAYS good for you, so....

Other Blog
I set up another blog. Already. Despite this is only 6 entries in. Despicable? Yes. Unwarranted? Yes. Completely Not Needed? Not entirely.
This other blog is for my artsy kinda stuff, I guess you could say. 'Tastes like Yellow'. Catchy, isn't it? I think so...
Now, all I need to do is learn how to code stuff... I'm not too happy with its layout...
Uh... ltns?
Definition:
LTNS - Stands for Long Time No See; An abbreviation of Lateness
I made that up just now, aren't I a genius? :P Sorry for the long time between posts >_> like, really, I haven't blogged since, like, Waterloo... in early August . Lol over a month...
After I got home (since the last blog post) I didn't really do anything of consequence for the rest of the summer... so there was nothing to blog. O! Batman was pretty snazzy :P And it was cold and rainy the whole august, so I couldn't rightly go and shoot a movie, like I wanted to. Also, I don't have a camera, so that might be a problem... I don't feel like spending tons of money on a camera, so I'm going to either loosen up my pockets, or borrow from someone when the actual time comes. XD
For the record, I've been sleeping quite well XD Well, much better, anyways. School's started again. I tried out for the play, but forgot to check the door after school today, so I'll check tomorrow to see if I made it. I've been frantically working on school work, playing DDR, filling out scholarship applications and other things... quite interesting. I like my classes this semester (good luck finding out what those are), but the load is a little heavy right now.
Test tomorrow, so I'm going to go study XD
For the record, I'm going to fall into the greatness of a hiatus,... cuz I'm not much of a blogger.

Commission status and sleep
First off, I did it again. I'm going to bed after this, not even going to bother with changing... I'll do that in the morning.
Secondly, I actually finished my Spock commission... though I still have to draw a sketch or two, or a lineart. Quite proud of me :P Took me all day to do it, so... I guess I did well. Now to think of what else I can draw....... Sleep first, however, cuz that's important.
I have to pack tomorrow, so... we'll see what happens.

Sushi + Merlin's Revenge
Today, as I went to visit my brother in Waterloo, he decided to (finally) take me to Ye's Sushi! (Yatta!!) All you can eat... and we ate quite a lot. Considering 10 pieces of sushi usually costs about $8... and the price for supper was $21 + drinks, I think we did fairly well... very tasty stuff, though the red tuna could use a little thawing :P So I left it for a while, and it became less frozen and much more edible. Still love salmon sashimi the best, but the spider roll was tasty too. And the Ice cream was really good too, though I'm a little sketchy about the green tea... tasted like too much tea and not enough like green (*coughimeansugarcough*). However, the mango and red bean ice cream make up for it.
If you ever have a sushi craving that's large enough to take in all you can eat, go for it! Ye's Sushi!! Google it!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Last night, I went to bed early! Well, earliest in the past couple days. 1:30 counts... and I got 12 hours of sleep :P Good start!
And I'll be going to bed the moment I finish this post, so don't you worry... it's still pretty early here :P
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Almost got started on a new picture... but didn't quite start :( I really need to start on something, or I'll be really disappointed in me... I have so much free time, and I just surf the internet and play internet games... I'm really starting to get bored of this existence.
However, on a new note, Merlin's Revenge 3 came out a couple days ago. Love that game... played in, like, Grade 6 for the first time... still love it to bits. Little pixel art things with cynical attitudes and amusing powers... It's great. However, it's still a little buggy... I'm on th last level, but it keeps crashing :( Maybe I need a new firefox? O well... it's been said that it's crashy.
Another good game is Gravitee... amusing interplanetary golf!! <3 I almost have every accomplishment possible, so..... Can't wait!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'll leave you with a verse as I go for my sleep:
"Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything." -James 1:4
Good night.

I'm an idiot
This blog could totally turn into a blog about my sleep patterns.... I just keep talking about it.
Anwyays, I didn't sleep until 5 hours ago last night... which is actually 11 am in the morning. LOL all nighter... took a nap for 4 hours though. That was fun. Had a dream about webcomics... that's what you get for reading them all night, and into the morning.
It was a fun night while it lasted, but I'm going to REALLY try to get to sleep early tonight.

More rambling about sleep
Remember how I was lamenting about not sleeping last post? well, I didn't end up sleeping until 6 am. There was light out the window, and I decided to go to bed. Smart one, veester. I could probably pull the graveyard shift when I'm older too... wouldn't be surprised. Heard it pays better.
Anyways, I watched Wall-E today. definitely a good watch. I liked it a lot! Previews sucked though... and Eve is definitely better.... i heard something about her being based off of something Japanese, but I don't remember what. Or was it an iPod...? No clue. good movie though. would have preferred louder sound, but o well.
I spent the day again on the computer pouring over... nothing in particular. Came up with an amusing storyline, but that's about it. It's about an amnesiac who has the talent to learn something really quickly and become really proficient at it... but she's completely unaware she has this power. And she's an eternal ray of sunshine. She needs a name though.......... Meh.
Shorter post this time.... I should really get to bed then draw something tomorrow... maybe attend class? XD I really want those bragging rights.
Sleep and angst
I'm not home. Apparently when I'm not home, I don't sleep. Cuz it's.... 2:42, I should be sleeping, and I'm wide awake, typing my first blog. How convenient.
Of course, that's kinda obvious. I just don't want to sleep. How boring... sleeping. I'm surviving on the big brother's cooking and junk food. I'm holed up in a basement and haven't done anything of value for.... 2-3 days. That's a new low hit for me.
If this is what a university student does, I don't want to be a university student. I still have a year to choose, but...... I'm scared of choosing.
I swear this blog won't turn into an angsty stupid emo-fest, despite the black background. It's black because I think that's suave and sophisticated and easier on the eyes. Not cuz I'm emo. That's a promise. If you know me, you'd know I'm not emo.
Here's something hopefully more interesting......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have the urge to draw something. I do. I just don't know what. I have a $30 dollar commission of Spock waiting to be finished... and I don't want to work on it. I'm afraid I'll screw Spock up and make the person who asked for the commission, my friends mom, feel bad.
I want to draw, but I never have any ideas. I have one, actually, for a picture, and several story ideas, but I don't have the courage to actually do anything about them. Meh.
In the morning, when I feel less un-energetic, I will do something.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Today I did nothing. Nothing but read shoujo manga. That's really lame, in my books. I'm actually quite disappointed. I hate shoujo, but there's nothing to read.......... wait. I have a book in my purse that I really wanted to read.
Hallelujah! Thank God I decided to start angsting on this post... I'd have forgotten about that book... I can't wait to read it now! *excited*
My little corner of basement could actually serve me fine as a home as well. I wouldn't feel bad living in a corner for the rest of my life... maybe get a few minutes of sunshine and some room decorations, but other than that... I could live here, easily.
Parents got to Alberta safe apparently... they called, so I'm glad they're safe. They called 4 hours ago, I think... I told them I was getting ready for bed then... and I seriously was ready to. But then the internet distracted me. I'd never be able to work at home... I'd have a computer, and that's all I'd need to distract me from anything.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Speaking of the computer and distractions, I haven't been delving in God's word ever... and I feel the urge to. If I don't... in my moment of need, I will definitely fall. It's happened too many times before. My Bible is sitting in front of my monitor, so I think I'll pick it up and read. I don't know where to start, so I will start in James. Paul was a smart man, but James is short and sour... I will feel down after reading it, but I definitely feel like reading it. I'll probably learn something VERY useful on the way.
I think I will draw tomorrow.... try to stay away from the computer that sits in my room/corner of basement. NO one knows how late I stay up, and no one really cares here. But that's ok. Well, one person cares, but I think he's asleep. If not, I will not go up to check... cuz then he'll know I'm not asleep.
I feel like picking up my shinai and swinging it... it's been a month. Way too long. I'm going to get rusty. I shall practice, pray, prepare for bed, then read my Bible. Then I will pray again and go to bed. And tomorrow, if there are classes in the afternoon, I may sneak into one. I want to at least once... just for bragging rights. This is a good plan.... but before that, I shall publish. and maybe clean. The desk has mess on it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Edit: that was a long post.... I hope they're not all going to be this long... I actually thought it would look shorter... oh well.
Finished my MIT Boot Camp form today... hope I get accepted.
Edit 2: I really think I have no life......... I should really sleep
