I think i love my sculpture class because the small and big stuff I do, Bruce always calls me an "irish woman" and that makes me super happy :D
Today:
Bruce: *trying to unlock the small fenced off area to get to the plaster* Dang I can't get this lock
Me: *absolutely serious* o.o Why don't you just jumped the fence? *was thinking about offering to do it for him*
Bruce: ...*bursts out laughing* You truly are an irish woman! |

I am of Ireland,
And the Holy Land of Ireland,
And time runs on,' cried she.
"Come out of charity
And dance with me in Ireland.'
-Yeats
Ugh this is crazy. I have been having dreams about Ireland! I want to go so badly! Hurry up summer! I want to propose a trip to Ireland with my dad (and my brother if he wants to) because I have waited 19 bloody years to go and lately I feel like it has been calling out to me. It's a weird feeling but it keeps haunting me.
I wanna see if my dad will say yes, then propose that we travel to New York for like 2 days, see some sites, then go to the island (omg the name escapes me for some reason) and see if we can't look any of our relatives up. I think it would be fun, then from New York we can travel to Ireland!
I wanna see the ocean and climb up lovely green hills; complain about how cold it is, even though I am accustomed to the cold here in WI. I wanna see the age-full villages and really see where my heritage comes from. I am almost completely irish and I'm fucking proud of it.
I think my dad would enjoy it too; catching up with his roots, he loves to hike and this time I'd be willing to hike with him.
[edit]
I must visit Ireland
Its call pervades my brain
Flooding me with feelings
Of aching love and pain
I shall gaze upon its lush lands
Entranced within its spell
Engrossed in tales of "wee folk"
And those of "Banshee wails"
I'll bring to mind its famine
Where many folk did die
I'll linger and I'll ponder
Tragedies of life . . . and why?
Visit, I must, to Ireland
To that land of emerald green
Paying tribute to those departed
And a country's future dream
-Dickerson |

Oh man, it was 50 degrees today! Kendall, Keely, and I took a nice long walk around Milwaukee in it! Then we came back and watched Nick and Norah! I love that movie!
Nothing but sex shots from me today, for some reason :0 |

It was probably the only good thing that happened for my birthday (: I even got an icy (even though they didn't have it in Chip this time ): ) |

| | Song For A Winter's Night - Sarah McLachlan | ] |
The lamp is burnin' low upon my table top
The snow is softly fallin'
The air is still within the silence of my room
I hear your voice softly callin'
If I could only have you near
To breathe a sigh or two
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
Upon this winter night with you
The smoke is rising in the shadows overhead
My glass is almost empty
I read again between the lines upon the page
The words of love you sent me
If I could know within my heart
That you were lonely too
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
Upon this winter night with you
The fire is dying now, my lamp is growing dim
The shades of night are liftin'
The mornin' light steals across my windowpane
Where webs of snow are driftin'
If I could only have you near
To breathe a sigh or two
I would be happy just to hold the hands I love
And to be once again with with you
To be once again with with you
I'm home this weekend since I can't celebrate my birthday with my family on my actual Birthday (which is on Monday). It's cold but peaceful. I was laying on the couch all snuggled up in blankets with my doggie, reading, when this song started playing on my iTunes.
It seemed appropriate to share it with you. |

Ugh, I feel sick and I don't know why. I woke up at 7 feeling extremely groggy and dizzy. I tried to eat something, half a poptart and some fruit loops went down but then I just felt like I was going to throw everything up so I texted my friend Kendall and told her I wasn't going to class. I went back to bed and got up at 9:30 to finish some homework that Kendall wouldn't even take to class so I wouldn't get marked down >_>. OKay this is what peeves me off the most.
Kendall, I don't care if you have your own opinion about why I'm sick (she say's i didn't enough sleep and that I'm just faking my illness so I can just sleep all day, which ISN'T true because I actually went to bed early last night) but when you go to our first class and tell Carly that and I get a facebook message on my status from her saying, "maybe because you didn't sleep last night! Faker!" then please JUST KEEP YOUR FUCKING, CYNICAL, NOT EVEN CONCERNED OPINIONS TO YOUR-STUPID-SELF! I shouldn't have to prove I'm sick to you. I'm not home anymore. As if it isn't hard enough to take care of yourself with the lack of vitamin c and lack of vegetables. I have to take care of myself, which is hard when you're busy with homework!
So excuse me. I'm going to go lay back down e_e |

*sighs* I love this movie. But this song makes me get all teary and miss my mom ): She would have liked this movie, then again I think she might have seen the play.
Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
I watch her go with a surge of that well-known sadness
And I have to sit down for a while
The feeling that Im losing her forever
And without really entering her world
Im glad whenever I can share her laughter
That funny little girl
Slipping through my fingers all the time
I try to capture every minute
The feeling in it
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Do I really see whats in her mind
Each time I think Im close to knowing
She keeps on growing
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table
Barely awake, I let precious time go by
Then when shes gone theres that odd melancholy feeling
And a sense of guilt I cant deny
What happened to the wonderful adventures
The places I had planned for us to go
(slipping through my fingers all the time)
Well, some of that we did but most we didnt
And why I just dont know
Slipping through my fingers all the time
I try to capture every minute
The feeling in it
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Do I really see whats in her mind
Each time I think Im close to knowing
She keeps on growing
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
And save it from the funny tricks of time
Slipping through my fingers...
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Schoolbag in hand she leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile... |

*suppressing the fits of glee in herself* Ugh xD I feel fine! In fact, better than I have in a long time. But I suppose it has to get worse before it gets better.
I OWE ALL MY HAPPINESS TO MOLLY, who so ingeniously tossed the best, well written, (Labyrinth) fanfic I have ever read ( http://www.fanfiction.net/s/429100/1/A_Forfeit_of_Dreams ; for those that are interested). So, thank you again, Molly! This was the kind of absolute tragic love story I so desperately needed to plunge myself into for a little bit (try three days). Don't get me wrong, there was a point where I was hyperventilating it was so sad, but the ending did not disappoint. It did not disappoint at all.
I feel so wistful and free. A bit tired, but that's how I always feel when I read without pausing for long periods of time. Content. Hmmmm, makes me wanna write a story or draw. Maybe I'll draw a new DevArt bio picture. Heavens knows I need a new one. I feel so in-tune with my imagination right now.
Birds are terribly noisy outside. Sounds like arguing. Maybe they're making plans for the freezing rain we're suppose to get tonight. Rain. Mmmm, I've missed rain <3. |

Whoopie, what a sad, crazy, changing year it's been (and I'm kinda happy to be putting it behind me). So I'll be staying in, with bad cramps, all alone with my dog and a bag of shrimp for the evening. *sighs* I dunno, maybe I'll just draw the night away, I had a story I was thinking about working on anyway. So anyway
Happy New Year, everyone. I hope with the changing year will bring everyone happiness.
I’ll rise from all my sorrow
Let the sun shine on my face
All alone in comfort
Its my solitude I will embrace
I will rise from my sorrow… |

Hey gang! I'm still in California till tomorrow night, but seeing as we're all just waiting around for Andy to wake up, Jake and Ian are about to play magic and I have Andy's laptop, I decided to write up how my trip was.
Ian picked me up at the airport and we just kinda caught up all the way back to his house.

Long time no see, internetz peoples. Sorry i haven't been online. You know, trying to pass my senior year in high school and all. So:
My scanner has decided to stop working on me and I can't figure out WHY! I haven't exactly had the time to seriously attempt to try and fix it since I've been so busy but as soon as I have the time I'm probably going to be asking people online how to fix it (HELP! SOS (SAVE OUR SCANNER)) That basically explains why I haven't been posting art and such. Well ONE of the reasons why I haven't been drawing.
The other is that all the art I've been making, lately, has been going towards my AP art test. @-@ Mrs. Wells has been breathing down my back and I'm seriously ready to graduate. Fuck AP tests! Never again, I promise you this. Too stressful, specially when i have 3 other courses demanding my attention. I just dodged the bullet on failing Math too. My mid-term grades:
Math - D
Art - A
English - D
German - A
Dad: *hands me my progress report* So you wanna explain this to me?
Me:...apparently I can speak German better than English?
Also, my AP art show is tomorrow, in my schools library! I'm so nervous right now! @_@ I have to be in the show all day too, till 6 pm. I don't mind strangers looking/commenting on my art but PLEASE! I don't want to be there to see their faces! It embrasses me and makes me even more self-conscientious about my art. Plus i actually have to look PRESENTABLE for it pfttt. Forget that garbage e0e! I'll take plenty of pictures.
Me: *whines* But Mrsssssss. Wellsssssss~ D:
Mrs.Wells: Oh, suck it up.
I have also been working on a piece for my story that is going to be published with 9 other stories by my fellow schoolmates, thanks to my creative writing teacher! It will be the first thing i have ever gotten published and I am going crazy with excitement. I haven't gotten the details about it (like what its going to be called, release date, and such) but really we're just trying to get all the stories publish-presentable and get all the illustrations in!
Aside from all that art business, my social life has been o-kay, I guess. My mom's doing much worse...shes probably only got 2 weeks or so left...It's hard but i wont bore you with the details.
Oh! my cellphone? Yeahhhhhh the front screen, when folded down is all shattered. i had it in my pocket, and i bumped really hard into the wooden table, thats lined with metal plating in the art room. i was like O_O; "ack" but i didn't realize my phone absorbed the blow and at the end of the period i pulled it out to check the time and it was all shattered. i put a piece of clear tape over it so i don't get plastic splitters. aside from the spiderweb pattern in the lower left corner, it's okay. i mean the screen still works so its all good everything works. Hopefully the LCD screen doesn't leak @0@
My friends are making me go to Prom, in May. xP I rather not *not much of a dance-fan* but Elizabeth and my cousin put me on a "YOU'LL REGRET THIS WHEN YOU'RE OLDER" guilt trip so in the end I said I would go. We're going to go dress shopping soon. I'll post some pictures of my dress.
Uhhh, nothing really to come. AP test is coming up, we're going to GERMAN DAY in Madison on the 24th for the competions, and I take my finals on May 28th and officially graduation on June 1st!
Also, today is my FAVORITE brothers birthday today! Happy 18th Birthday, Andy and Ian! I miss you two! <333!
Well, I'm off to bed. My right eye has been really irritated since i got home and I need to rest my nerves. |
