(....it rhymed....)

Okies, so um, jus thought I'd actually make use of this journal thing to fill everyone in on my life. Heh.

This feels weird, though... Not used to filling everyone in on my life I guess. *shrug* So pardon any weirdness.

Alrighty, well, as for my posting activity... Sahry if it's disappointing in any way, but it really shouldn't surprise you by now. x] It's not like I'm not producing artz. I guess I just hate scanning photos... It's tedious.. I know that's unreasonable. It's /very/ unreasonable. But so are pet-peeves, and they don't just disspell once you realize how silly they are, do they? (at least mine don't...)

ANYWAY, and once I actually scan some things it takes me ages to finish a picture. T_______T Wai? CAUSE. So there...

Not but seriously... I think it's cause I tend to work on one picture for a while, get a good start on it. Then I get bored with it and eager for a change and start another. I make progress on that one then cycle to another... And so forth. I tallied up the unfinished works in my files (only ones that are still considered good/recent enough to post if I ever finish) and the total count was, like, thirteen...

Yeah.

It's actually really frustrating cause I like these pictures. Do you know how rare it is for me to /like/ a picture I drew for more than a day? o.O Do you?

Okay, anyhoo. That's all I have to say on posting.

About normal life. (skip if you're not interested, I seriously don't mind... truth is i hate reading people's journals myself. haha) Lots going on so I'm going to /try/ to cut this short in case any of you nice-type or curious-type people are actually reading this.

First of all, I should inform those of you who don't already know that I'm planning to go to Tiauna with me youth group in... April? As a mission trip to build a home, etc. etc. So we've been trying to raise the funds. One of our fundraisers, called "rent-a-student", allows members of my church to "rent" a student to do household chores, babysitting, office work, labor, landscaping, yadda yadda. When the job is done, the student gets a generous (hopefully) donation toward the Mexico trip. You've probably seen/participated in this type of fundraiser before because they're pretty common.

Well, I thought it was a great idea when I heard the plans, but for the couple of weeks following the start of the project my phone failed to ring with a renter on the other line. My sister didn't get rented either. But today things brightened up. I noticed my card (which has my contact info and stuff and was pinned on the board with other hopeful students) was selected. But the goodness didn't stop there. Colleen (our wonderful youth manager/staff lady) called my sister and I over and asked if we could do any sort of office work stuff. I was all "yeah! we do filing and stuff! np", and, of course, my sister (marie) was all "uh, i dunno... office work? we're not really used to that, etc.". SO pessimistic and uncertain. Marie, you really gotta learn how to be confident and seize opportunity, lol! xP

Anyhoo, so this nice lady named Linda needed some help in the office over the next month or two and was thrilled to know that we could fill the need. =3 So there ya go - prayers answered! (I had been praying that morning, actually. Awesome timing, lol.)

Yeah.... Other things to note - Marie's birfday comin up. Her party is on the day of the Superbowl though, so I'm really really bummed. T________T What incredibly unfortunate timing!!!!! *despair*
Also, my parents' birthdays are both coming up at the end of the month.
Mine shows up not too long after Marie's.... Oh, and I have a tournament way up in Redding (we'll be staying in the dorms of some college I guess) on my birthday. ><

Okay, that's all I got the patience to write down... This seems unbearably long as it is. X.x And I know it's full of annoying typos as usual. T_______T So yeah.

(I'm not sure I really like this journaling thing... lol. I'madork.)
