Happy Halloween 2012!!!!!!!!

Let's face it, now that I'm 18 I might not have many trick-or-treating nights left.  That's why my costumes matter more than ever for these next few years!  I've been working really, really hard on my Halloween costume for the past few weeks.  Haha, I finished just in time...I was actually putting the final pieces together earlier today :)     Me as Red Pyramid Head!  (Silent Hill 2 version) Okay, so the pyramid head might seem a bit too large for my body.  But all in all I think I did a pretty...

No More Drawings?

I know I just wrote a post a few months ago about how I would be drawing pictures on my blog.  You're probably wondering why I haven't done any posts this month that contained new drawings. Don't worry, I have not forgotten!  The truth is my gel pen (that's what I use to make the outlines so dark) stopped working.  This prompted me to buy the Copic multiliners I've been lusting after for months.  Unfortunately, in order to get them on Amazon I first had to get my debit card, which took FOR-EV-ER to come in the mail because the bank messed up the order -_-" Long story short, my Copic multiliners just...

Fear

Alright, who hasn't experienced fear?  I'm assuming everyone reading this has indeed experienced it at one time or another. Right now I feel very fearful, actually.  I'm like on fear overload. My List of Uber Giant Worries - The ACT is tomorrow.  Yes, even though I've taken it 2 times before, I'm scared.  How's that for lame?  -_-" - My EEG scan is on Tuesday.  They explained the procedure to me, which put me at ease at first...then I realized that they said, "turn off the lights."  So does that mean I'm going to be in the pitch dark?  Nnngh, I don't want to be in the dark! ...

College Confidential: The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly

So I was doing a Google search just now and found a blog post titled "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of College Confidential."  (You can read it here.) After reading the post, it occurred to me that I too haven't posted in a while on College Confidential.  Which is kind of funny, really; I was addicted to it senior year.  After I got rejected from Wellesley EE, I stopped posting almost entirely. Anyway, reading Admissions_Daniel's post about College Confidential inspired me to write my own good, bad, and ugly post about CC.  So here it is! The Good I will admit it, College Confidential is a great place...

Here We Go Again -_-"

It's that time of the year again.  You know, that horrible time of the year when we're all driven by terror.  No, it's not Halloween. Welcome again, everyone, to...THE COLLEGE APPLICATION SEASON *da da DUM*. I thought things would be easier this year.  Yes, and no.  I decided to apply Early Admission (non-binding) to a lot of my colleges.  Also, I'm applying to 19 colleges as to avoid what happened last time. Upside: I have increased chances of getting in to a good college.  Also, I'll find out whether...

If I Was in Harry Potter

When I was 13, I was a huge Harry Potter fan.  I've often wondered what type of person I would be if I was a character in the magical world of Hogwarts.  So today I decided to take a quiz to find out. Personally I always thought I'd be in Ravenclaw.  But no.  After taking a few psychological tests, the houses I scored highest in were actually Gryffindor and Slytherin, which I actually tied for -_-" I got Gryffindor because I'm impulsive, stubborn, and prideful.  Then I read why I tied for Slytherin.  And,...

Kickass Moms with Guns!

Today I was very depressed because it was Ex-BF's birthday.  It makes me miss him more...mainly because I can't help but think about him.  So after work today, in hopes of cheering myself up, I went to the theater to see Frankenweenie and Resident Evil: Retribution (both in 3D!) - Frankenweenie wasn't as good as I expected.  (Also, there were no 3D moments at all, meaning I paid an extra $3 for NOTHING!)  I really had high expectations for this movie.  Tim Burton, if you are reading this, please know I am a...

Hidden Meanings in Songs

Last night I was watching some old music videos on Youtube and remembered some crazy things I've heard about hidden meanings in songs. For instance, I've heard that "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" was intentionally given that name because it's actually an acronym for LSD.  Yep, apparently the Beatles were purposely advertising that they were high on LSD when they wrote that song.  As if it wasn't obvious enough based on the lyrics -_-" And then there's "Turning Japanese," which is actually supposed to be about masturbation.  No idea where that one came from.  It seems like a pretty random, meaningless...

Darkrooms are Romantic?

So I was watching Parenthood tonight because I wanted to spend some time with my mom and little sister (they're big fans of the show). I saw the preview for next week's episode, and Sarah is apparently going to kiss the weird photographer guy.  (Big surprise there...I believe Sarah has made out with every male on the TV show who is not directly related to her.) Anyway, it struck me as odd because they kiss in a darkroom.  You know, where you develop photos?  And to be quite honest, I've never really thought of darkrooms...

I Don't "Do" Sadness

I'm terrible at dealing with sadness. Hmmm, perhaps I should rephrase that.  Thing is, I don't "do" sadness.  My idea of dealing with sadness is: Sometimes it feels like my entire life is a lie. Last night I woke up at 5AM and just started to cry.  I always act like I have it together, but the truth is I can't deal with change or loss or sadness at all.  And I can't deal with this.  Ex-BF was one of the few things in my life that felt really stable, which is ironic, considering how rocky our relationship...
