I've decided that, while my to-do list is not finished, I have done more than enough from it and I'm taking a break from it, excluding finish homework and enter a contest on deviantArt. This being that homework is, sadly, not optional, and that I've already started a contest entry.

Anyways, there hasn't been a lot to report lately. I've been bored, a little sad. All of my friends left for Marching Band Camp yesterday, and it pains me that I'm not going to be in Marching Band this year, but I couldn't imagine what my schedule would be like if I had taken band; I'm taking some pretty intense classes. I had to check online because I'll be on vacation at the time schedules are handed out/pictures are taken/lockers assigned, but check my insanely insane schedule was all I could do for now. Ah, well, such is the trials of an upperclassman. Although, I don't think this year will feel that much different. I've been an honorary member of the class of 2009 since I was a freshman. now that they've all graduated, though, I might actually tolerate the people in my own class. At school this year, I plan on joining a lot of clubs and such. I want to help with stage crew, join Interact Club, make the Writer's Club into sometihng worthwhile. I also want to take more art classes at the FIA as well as continue private lessons at the FIM; I'm in the Youth Wind Ensemble at FIM, too, so I'd be spending a lot of time down there anyways.

I'm thinking of getting my hair cut, asymmetrical again, like it was when I first cut it short. Of all of the haircuts that I've had in the last two years, that and my pixie cut were my favorite. I want to try and get it cut before Hawaii, but I might not be able too. I"ll have to call and see if Monica has anything available too. I should see if she'll dye my hair, too, because I want to dye it too, sometihng funky.

Last night, my family and I were watching a movie, and for the first time ever, my cat voluntarily sat on someone's lap. We were all really proud of her, even if she didn't stay for but five minutes. My grandpa is down right now, and I'm supposed to be entertaining, but he's taking a nap so there's not a whole lot that I can do.

Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance comes out today in Japan! I don't have a lot of interest in seeing it, because the whole Evangelion movie series is pretty much the TV show... In movie form. But I'll give it a look up on youtube in August, because it makes its English debut on july 31 in Germany; there's no doubt that it'll have made its way onto the interwebs by then. The live action movie, which the director says he's sealing the deal on this summer/fall, would be pretty kick-ass, though. I will se that, no matter what it takes, no matter how long it takes. I just hope they make it into a trilogy, and not shove plus ten hours of material into less than three. Doing that ruins a good thing, like Inkheart. The movie ruined the whole series for me.

There's so many movies I want to see! My parents are on a movie-strike Evidently, its okay to take a luxury trip to Hawaii, but its not okay to to the movies once a week. Nope. Uh-uh. Up, Transformers, Year One, Night at the Museum, and a bunch that are coming out soon, like Harry Potter, are all on my list, but I won't get to see them. It's probably been a month since I've seen a movie- Star Trek or Terminator, before school ended. Ugh. I the being movie-deprived.

Roleplaying/Aia's art has gotten me into the mood to draw GC characters, so I drew all of the main's (Rei, Sky, Kitty, Dey, Mika ) in a little chibi scenario. I might finish it, but I probablly won't. I still have Mononoke fan art and that Tori/Luka picture. I'm kind of saving my artistic energy for camp, because that's where I'll need it.

This little cat showed up on my deck this morning! It's so adorable. Its orange and white with spots and striped and pretty orange eyes. It has scratches on its nose, so it's met the neighborhood stray. I've named him Oliver, because he's orange, just like Oliver form Oliver and Company. He's really friendly, you can tell that he was someones pet. I sat down on a deck chair and he just jumped on my lap and started purring. He was so cute, in that I'm-so-ugly-I'm-cute way. Our new neighbors hve a blanket and food for him under their table outside, and we have food and water for him under the bench on our porch, but we really do think that he's someones pet. I hope he's not, because it'd be a shame to have to give him back.

I'm getting my hair cut today, tomorrow is my road test, Monday I'm going again to play DnD, and on Tuesday I leave for camp for two weeks.

Have I mentioned how much I hate America? I mean, freedom is great and all, but Thats about all we have going for us. Were twice our height in debt, about to destroy our highest high security prison, and we have a president that says yes to EVERYTHING. I mean, come on Obama, change is good but the word 'yes' is different from change. America is just a pit of mongering pregnant teenagers feeding off of their parents drug addiction and unemployment, and those who think they're above all of the fear and the filth but aren't; they're just better at disguising it all. And then we mask ourselves with patriotism, which according to the government, is different then nationalism, because that's what the Nazis were, in an abstract sense. Nationalists. Needless to say, I hate Memorial Day. I do not support those who feel the need to spread a special brand of Nationalism, be they Nazi or Patriot.

I started on my AP Lit&Lang summer reading assignment. It's a memoir/how to write book book, and its actually really good. I like writing, though. I appreciate what it's telling me.

I gave my cats some home-grown catnip today. Lexi didnt seem too affected, but Buddy went absolutely bonkers. It was really cute! I've never seen that cat go from so hyper to so content in such a short amount of time. ive never seen that cant content, period. But now I know how to make him shut up. <3
