How It Goes

To everyone that is obviously awake (since you're reading this), I'm apart of SODA (Society of Dramatic Arts) here at LTU and today we just had our last showing of our play. This means that I'll finally have time to sleep, but a the same time it's kind of sad. For those of you who have never been in a drama club before, this is what happens. Practices are slow at first, not very long and they don't happen every day. Slowly the practices start to increase in time and amount, and before you know it you're spending basically all of your free time at rehearsals and you sleeping time doing homework. Then the show happens, and hopefully everything goes swell, and then... You're left high and dry. You get sucked into this vortex where you're always doing something and seeing people and making friends and being busy, but then it just stops, and although you now have time to do homework and sleep, you also have this massive void in your life. And that is wh...

Sunshiney days!

Hi everyone! My friends are fantastic. I just had a great day that included: a play, the DPhiE formal, watching 90's anime and dancing like a fool. Basically, the coolest thing ever. So yeah, my friends are fantastic. TheFABKid

The lizard sticker on my laptop that always makes me smile. It's just so adorable!

Not having practice, which opens up my whole day for new possibilities. (Like sleeping!)

How's it chillin' homeskillet? As I've said before, I'm apart of a sorority, Delta Phi Epsilon. I never thought that I'd be a girl that joins a sorority, I'm just not typical sorority material. The Deephers here are great though, and I've never regretted joining since. Sisterhood is great, because it's something that you can't really get away from, it's automatically having a group of girl friends on campus automatically, no matter how well or how badly you know a girl in the sorority. You also get a Big Sister, which is basically a built-in best friend in my opinion. They're someone that you can automatically be close with and open up to, no questions asked. They're always there for you, no matter what happens. It's permanent too, unless you un-join or something. You are always a Deepher, and will be forever. It's not like an organization that you join for a semester, or for a couple of years, it's something that is alwa...

Hello Lovelies! So, if you're thinking what I think you're thinking, don't! Get your dirty minds out of the gutter, sillies. If that wasn't what you were thinking-congrats! You are a good, moral thing. Now, yesterday was quite the day for me, and K I guess, since she was there for all the important stuff. Yesterday we went to the Phoenix Center in Pontiac MI because I needed to do some sketches for my VisCom class. I brought K along because I needed a buddy. So, Pontiac. It's not the best place ever to be, but it's got some cool places there, like the Crowfoot Ballroom. The Phoenix Center is basically a parking garage, and it has this cool amphitheater thing on top, so we went up there so that I could get pictures for my sketches. Obviously this required us to climb some stairs, and that was where the adventure began. The stairs were icy and snowy, altogether bad news bears, and on top of that it was raining. We used the stairs where they were visible, but ...

Well hey there peeps, Excuse the title. I try not to swear too much on here, although in real life I have the mouth of a sailor. So today: My day managed to go from pretty good to horrible, and all because of one professor and one class. Said class is Technical and Professional Communications, and the only class that I have been complaining about all semester. The book for the class could teach me everything, but instead I have to sit through some of the most boring lectures known to man. I'm not good with the lecture-style classes like this. I find the information boring, and lectures with no interaction are hell for me to sit through. Ergo, this class is already bad for me. On top of that, my teacher is absolutely unforgiving. Our latest project was a 7-page proposal. I fished my paper this morning and it was due today. I tried to print it four times before class, but for some reason, it just wouldn't print. So, I proceeded to send him an email explaining the problem wit...

How's it going chicos? Today I feel like I looked kind of crazy. I'm an Architecture major, as I think I've said before, and today I went to studio to do one of my many projects. Said project is carving hard foam into a convex form (we used plaster to make a concave form earlier). That foam is a little butt-munch and surprisingly hard to carve. I've been using my Exact-o knife and some sandpaper to do the whole thing so far, and that is not very useful when I'm trying to carve away big hunks of foam, let me tell you. Because of that, I decided that it would be smart of me to bring a bigger knife to studio today. This is about what I brought: It is a huge friggin' knife. And I was stabbing my piece of foam to get rid of chunks. I feel that I looked like a crazy murderer. Which I am not. I also think that I shouldn't be allowed to play with knifes that big all the time. There were a couple of times that I was very glad that my face and hands weren...

It can be found in many places. Darkness is a secret-keeper. Perhaps the biggest of them all. People do and say things in the dark, things that may not always happen in the light. You can hide in the dark. It will wrap you up and hold you, and let you hide away from the rest of the world for a little while, as long as you need. It can be found in a car at night, when everything seems so much more subdued. No matter how much noise you make, and how many people are with you, a car is always much quiter in the dark. All there is are the lights of the dash and muffled noises. It is a certain type of peace. Not everyone finds the darkness comforting. Demons and beasts lurk in the dark, many different kinds of them. Even I fear these demons at times. However, I also find solace in the darkness. I can be whomever I want. In the darkness I can open myself up to allow the possibility of a connection with another person. There is a beauty as well there. In the velvety darkness outside t...

Yesterday one of my roommates and I went to Meijer to go grocery shopping in the middle of the day. I know what you're thinking: HOLD THE PHONE! Shopping? At a NORMAL time? WHAT IS THIS NONSENSE? But yeah, we did that, and in doing that I got to real-person people watch. There are a few different types of people that I noticed there (and that I made stories for): 1. The harried mom going shopping on her lunch break. 2. The new parents going shopping in the dead of night with a sleeping baby getting a bunch of different stuff. 3. The old couple there, where the husband was brushing something off the old woman's jacket, and it was just really cute. 4. The women who look like they're fresh out of college and going shopping together for real-person groceries. 5. The old man who's just kind of wandering around. 6. The businessman who's shopping for dinner later that night, and is dressed pretty nicely. 7. The guy who's going in dressed amazingly dapperly a...

Fun fact, we're on Spring Break right now and it's pretty darn fun. My roommates and I are all here, so that just makes it that more fun since we can have as many adventures as we want, and don't have to worry about any repercussions the next day. That means we're back in business for shenanigan making! The first thing that happened that was interesting was that we played with glow-in-the-dark bubbles. Yes, those exist, and they are pretty freakin' wonderful. M and I found them yesterday, and we decided to use them toady with everyone. We went in the bathroom and turned out all of the lights (it's the darkest place in the dorm room, and therefore the best place to play with the bubbles). The bubbles when they were in the bottle were super-duper glowy, and would make a wonderful light source by themselves. So, we blew bubbles.      And blew bubbles.           AND IT WAS GLORIOUS!!!!! The bubbles made us glow when they popped on us, and the ma...

Hola ervrybody! So, I'm not one to normally complain about things like the roads and what cities do and don't do, but I feel like this is one exception that I'm going to have to take. Today I was driving to the library to take some pictures so that I could have things to draw for my sketchbook, so I obviously had to drive around. However, on the way there, I think that my car practically died. I was driving on the good part of the road for a while. Then I got in the lane to turn into the library, and it was no longer road. It was potholes, and only potholes.  I started to slow down a bit and  felt bad for everyone behind me, so I looked in my mirror. Not only was everyone else driving as slow as me , but they were all way behind me, and driving just like I was (a.k.a. kind of erratically, trying to aviod the potholes by driving around them). The snow has also been melting a ton lately, so every one of the potholes were basically their own little lake just chillin' o...

Having goldfish crackers to go along with your tomato soup.

I've read this thing one day that went something along the lines of, "I like to be alone, but I'm glad I never have to be lonely." I really like that phrase. You see, I go though periods where I'm really anti-people in any form, and periods where I really like being around my friends all the time. But even when I'm anti-people, I'm still glad that I have my friends. Hi friends (cause I know some of you are reading this)! And yes, sometimes they bug me, and sometimes I cannot be around people, but if I didn't have them, what would I do? They're always there for me, whether I've known them since kindergarten, or only since the beginning of the school year.  And sometimes I forget how great it is to make new friends, class buddies, or even just someone that you give a smile to when you pass them. I was thinking about this because the other day, I saw these colors that I really loved in the sky, and so I went to take a picture of them. This per...

So, here I am, sitting in studio at 5:30 in the morning; my stress from yesterday over everything school-related finally almost gone. And then I realized: TODAY THE RA LETTERS GO OUT OVER WHETHER OR NOT WE GOT THE JOB AND NOW I'M SO NERVOUS OH MY GOODNESS WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO MY LIFE. I'm resolved not to look at or open the letter until after I get out of my class at 7:00pm today. I end the day on Tech and Prof Com, easily my most boring class, and the one I like the least. As such, if I get accepted, then I'll be too happy to focus. If I get rejected, then I'll be to depressed to focus. It's a double-edged sword here, so I just decided that I'm going to wait until after all of my classes are out to see what happened. Wish me luck! TheFABKid
