Interesting things occurred that may or may not have resulted in a self-esteem increase.
Last night there was the acquiring of meat-lovers Pizza Papalis pizza, and the mass pizza genocide that occurred within this very dorm room. Steve joined for our little flesh-consuming ritual around the teevee box, watching Heroes which is getting wtfcrazy. Emphasis on wtf. But so far, it's been delightful wtf. There was also the forced viewing of Death Note for Steve, who quite agreed with me that it is, in fact, an anime that is not shittily written. It's one of a kind, really. Needs more blood though.
Secondly, there was the EVER-SO-LATE-TO-A-NERVEGRINDING-DEGREE psychology test score online. I have acquired a 74, which is damn peachy, considering the sorry state I was in for the endeavor. There are only three more lab sessions left, oh God let it be over SOON. Lenny's a nice guy, but he is not a coherent teacher. I appreciate his assortment of sweater vests and bowties, though.
Third-ish-ly, I had my much dreaded mid-term Life Drawing critique. Naturally, I had to spend half the class nervewracked and sketching, since, of course, I was the last one on the list. So I sort-of payed attention and drew the profile of this lovely stand-in model who had the most remarkably triangular nose (I really appreciated it) while waiting for doom. I go to the trouble of carting my huuuuge drawings along, only to decide to not incorporate either of them. That makes sense somewhere, okay.
Anyhow, Mel comes in, and tells me outright that I have the best gesture sketches in class, a clear sign of dementia. I still felt really proud that he'd say that, considering the classs is composed of 2, 3, 5, and 7000-level students. He said I put too much effort into my extended work, and I kinda was like, "..Huh?" Because apparently I'm trying too hard? I'm not sure, but I guess I can see that, since I slave over proportion bitterly. So he gave me a mid-term grade of A- ("So that you're motivated to work harder," quoth Mel), and I was pleased as pie*.
Before said egostroking, I had successfully gotten Quilla to sit her ass down and watch some Harlock, to which she glared at me, dropped her head in futility, and began uttering "oi vey" over and over for ten minutes after the even. The fact that Harlock's cape flows in dead air really gets her going, and it was quite amusing. I got on her nerves again by reading off bastardized entries from the encyclopedia dramatica about her beloved fandoms. That's what she gets for loopdy-ing my shoes.
I apparently also managed to get into all of my classes for Schoolcraft. Photoshop, Illustrator, fundamentals of Design, and Speech. Yeehaw. Three days a week, hopefully avoiding evening rush hour on I-275, which is eighteen nightmares rolled up into one hateful burrito of moronic drivers who assume winter is a great time to go 75mph.
I also seem to be getting a lot of votes for the 'card and random doodles' option on that epically boring poll, in which I seem to have overused netspeak. So cards it'll be. Addresses I'll be needing are as follows (if you want one of these card thingies):
leeann_marie,
festivelyplumpe,
sein_ying, and
severina (because I have like 17 addresses for you and I don't know which one's current).
It'd be smart to tell me if you don't want one beforehand, too, if I already have your address.
This is where intermission music plays.

I cut Fin-Laye's hair, since I have developed inner rage for her pony tail. It's for the good of the colony.
Quilla thinks I have an unhealthy obsession with Captain Hook, and pirates in general. This is clearly not so. I watch Pyrats because it is a damn fine piece of traditional/3d animation and has a guy with a powdered wig in it. And Captain Hook has a monstrous chin. I thought everybody dug on that.

How many times can Laura screw up a snail mail transaction without getting utterly destroyed?
So far, 5 times.
fightfair must be feeling merciful, and Radii probably totally forgot I even mailed him. LET'S SEE HOW LONG THIS GOES ON, YEAH?
*Pie is generally considered to be a very cordial confection.

Date: 2006-11-08 05:21 am (UTC)My school doesn't have a decent photoshop class. Or even a real photoshop class at ALL. And especially not Illustrator. And our main "art" art teacher is an asshole of a woman.
But OMG PYRATS IS THE BEST THING EVER I LOVE YOU NOW FOR SHOWING ME THIS AND I NEED IT NOW AND I WILL WATCH IT OVER AND OVER AND LOVE IT AND CALL IT FLUFFY. Did you see the booby pirate? PIRATE GIRL WHO KICKS ASS, YAAAAAAAY. See icon.
