Bhjkhbvdawhbjvfeajbhkeavflybj titles are for noobs.

Hello there, my fine reader.

:D

Okay. So I know I haven't posted anything in a while, I'm not sorry, I was doing things that need things and if you can tell me what that was a reference to then you get something or maybe not but probably.
But no, seriously, I had band camp and school and I'm playing school on hard mode for the lolz and therefore have very little free time, most of which I spend drawing and watching anime. Blog posts require at least a little bit of forethought (lol yeah right), so I haven't been able to do many.
But here I am! *epicface*

So, I forget what was going on in my last post, but I'll just start saying things and hopefully it will count as a post. Okay? Okay.

Last weekend was spent not doing much fun because I suddenly found out on Friday about a paper on the Black Death due today. So I did some frantic research and used my *ahem* lovely writing skills to put together something that I hope doesn't sound horrible, and then I did a pile of other homework and watched anime and got some balls to turn into eyes for my DragonCon costume.

So that weekend was considerably less relaxing than I had hoped, but I got it done and got a couple of A's along the way.

Despite having not watched any anime all summer (I know, weird), now that I have little to no free time, I've gotten back into Black Butler. I started up on the season 1 finale, which was all of the sad, and am now watching season 2. It's pretty great so far even though Undertaker, my favorite character, has only been in one episode. I'm also still reading D.Gray-Man and Barnes and Noble still doesn't have the FMA volume I need.

Hm. Other stuff.
Our halftime show is going pretty well. The first game is Friday and we ran through the whole show with general success today. It's really weird to be a section leader (even though I am one of two baritone section leaders and the single tuba player is above both of us as well as the trumpets and French horn), and the younger people are actually doing really well. Some of them are pretty strange, but usually in a funny way, which makes it okay. Our music is fun and I am playing first, which is weird even though I'm not the only one and I played first last year too (my section leader had his own special music).

Tonight was my school's open house, and one of my teachers apparently complimented my work ethic. It was pretty funny, considering that my strategy so far has been to derp around writing notes in between doodles and then read over them a couple of days before the test. But the teachers usually let me do my own thing after suddenly calling on me once and accepting that I was, in fact, listening. And that is awesome.

I have run out of thoughts to write.

It's late and I don't feel like posting pictures, so maybe I'll do that whenever next time is.

Toodles, doodles and raging infernos.

Hey, picture!

Remember a while ago when I talked about hanging out in inaccessible places when I get my own house?
I drew a picture of it.


So yeah.
Peace, home chinchillas.

Band camp!

Hey there doodz.

So I started band camp last week. If you've never had the pleasure, imagine standing in front of an open fire screaming into an infant's face and dancing continuously for several minutes. And you have to be on key and holding the infant at the correct angle and not screwing up the dance because otherwise you're wrong and nobody likes you anymore. And you could possibly get crushed by a tuba.

Since there are some new rules about summer practices this year, morning band camp starts and ends an hour early. Which is nice, since it's not as hot and there's a longer break, but it also means that I have to get up at 6:30 every morning this week. I am not a morning person. Or really an anything person if it involves me waking up against my will.
So here's how my morning went:
When my alarm went off, I stared angrily at it while it beeped at me (and probably threw terrible insults at me in its language). When I got tired of it, I picked it up, slammed the off button, but it back on the table, and turned on the lamp so as not to go back to sleep. Then I curled into a ball of sad and frowned at the lamp until I could keep my eyes open long enough to get up. I got ready as slowly as possible and ate breakfast and got in the car, and I still wasn't fully conscious when we got to school.

And then it was raining and it wasn't really hot, and I'm in a quintet that stands in the front and doesn't move for a while, so we all chilled while everyone else learned a complicated move.

Let's see. Other stuff.
After riding on Saturday (Jack was being craycray as usual), my friend and I found a kitten. He was really nice, so we started petting him, and he shook his head several times and his ears made cute flapping noises.
So, naturally, we named him Flappyhead.
He turned out to already have a name, which I forget, but he will always be Flappyhead to me.

Oh, the pictures that wouldn't show up in my last post finally arrived. All four copies of each.
So here they are.


This is my cousins' dog, Susie Taco Anna May. I decided to draw from a photo and this was the only good one I had.


I found another decent picture of me with Jack at a show this year. My face ended up a little bit weird looking, but it kind of looks like a face.


Finally (this one is my favorite), a picture of Loki. I chose this picture without any thought to how SERIOUSLY FRIGGLESTICKING HARD it would be to draw. My hand was shaking by the time I finished it. But hey, Loki.
Yes, I find Loki enjoyable. What of it?

That's all, continue whatever you were doing before you started reading this.
FOR NARNIA!
