Okay first off, this icon rocks my socks. *points* 

Other than that, there's really nothing much to report. Our football team was delivered a crushing 41-0 blow in the game tonight. I was there....and it was really depressing. I'm still excited we actually made it to state, though. Businesses all around town had signs up rooting for our team; it was like small town football.

I'm having a party tomorrow, and we're going to go caroling around some neighborhoods. My dad bought hay bales, and we're going to put them in the bed of his truck and drive around and sing, play kazoos, and throw hand candycanes to people. It's going to be super amazing. ^^

So, I've been on the computer for an hour or so, sifting through pointless backdated journal entries of mine to remember the shxtload* of memes I did over the summer. ;) Fairly entertaining, but I figured I might as well post even though nothing is going on.

Uh, our Chorus concert was tonight, and it was fairly emotional. Said leaving Chorus teacher was presented with a plaque with the lyrics to the Irish Blessing on it, and nearly every single person on the risers was balling. I was biting my lip the entire time, thinking how stupid I would look if I broke down in front of everyone. D= We all gave him a hug at the end, and it was really sad. And I'm supra upset that I'm going to be missing his last day, as we're leaving to Ohio for my great-uncle's memorial service on Thursday. I'm donating $10 to a class farewell present, though it's not quite the same.

Uh, today in school we had a pep rally because our football team is going to State Championships! Whee. However, since our pep rallies include no pep, and a scarce amount of rallying, I opted to skip it and stay in my English class with a bunch of other rebellious hooligans. It was great. And according to the teacher's whiteboard, my top 5 favorite bands include Avril Lavigne, Smoothie Vampires (a made-up band), and The Heartbreak Kids (trust me, you don't even want to know...-.-)

What else is there to report...hmm....Oh, I discovered that Red Lobster has now changed the size of the plates and bowls to smaller sizes, so they are now more cost effective. It all has something to do with that 'income' thing. But my family and I are tight with one of the waitresses at our local Red Lobster, and she offered to make us more salads. xD

Is anyone else creeped out by the 'Make your own Harajuku doll' ads that LJ is running if you have a Premium account? They're really...scary. And the fact that they're sponsored by HP is weird. Because I know when I think of Gwen Stefani, I immediately think of my printer. Yeesh.

I think that's it...I'd better go before I type something even more incoherant.

-Dev

* The word 'shxt' comes from a highly 'gangsta' and incoherant note we found in my AP Euro class the other day. It's hard to properly describe over the intraweb, but a few examples of words enclosed would be 'dhatt', 'anyskootzs', '4rm', and '2moroe'.

Yes, I did not fall off of a cliff or be trampled by rampaging elephants. I am alive. ^^ School life's been hectic, and so is sneaking online when the parentals aren't about. ;) I've been meaning to post for a while now, and Gilpin gave me the final push. =D

So, what's new with me? Uh...our Chorus just had a Variety show recently; we performed music from Hairspray, Music Man, Guys and Dolls, and  the Sound of Music. And now, two weeks later, we are preparing for our winter concert which is tomorrow night. School is tough this year, as I have to take Algebra (oh, joy), and I'm taking AP European History which saps the life right out of me. :) 

I just found out that my chorus teacher is leaving, which is really sad. He's one of those teachers that you actually like, y'know? He's amazing, but he got offered a huge promotion so I'm happy for him and wish him the best of luck.

Oh, speaking of teachers, my English teacher knows I have a Livejournal now. So, hello if you're reading this! =D

I was going to do NaNo this year, but my computer's harddrive exploded in a firey ball of technology, and my family lost all of our data. So no recovering any of it. Poo. I decided to skip Nano because I would have had to cram in a humongous make-up session, and I've been very busy.

And on the topic of writing, I don't think I'll be doing any fanfic for awhile. It's hard to find the time to get on the computer at all, let alone write. My amount of free time has drastically reduced from last year, and it's not making me very happy, lol. I hear there's another Advent ficathon over at metamorfic_moon, and I'm sad I'm going to be missing it.

Also, I'm thinking of creating another LJ account solely for my fiction, and using this one as more of a journal like it was intended. I'd have to find a huge chunk of time somewhere to move everything over, which is going to be the hardest part. Some of the fics are already categorized and in one area, but definitely not all of them. I also haven't been on fanfiction.net in a long time, and I'm sure a bunch of stories I was reading have already been finished, or maybe have included some juicy scenes that I want to go back and read. ;)

In the time I was gone, I've also become a die-hard fan of Doctor Who and Torchwood. So....effin'....amazing! I'm asking for Series 1 of DW on DVD for Christmas this year. =D

Also, thank you to everyone who has left me a comment on a fic I've writen while I haven't posted here in the previous few months! I've read them, and enjoyed them, but I haven't had the time to reply. Some day...some day.

So what is new with everyone else? I have three or four months of news I've missed! Please post; I'm dying to hear from my online friends. (My irl ones are boring xD)

No!  

And thus, my summer has officially ended, and I am back in school. Le sigh.

Though, I can already tell my English class is going to be amazing. And, my teacher is obsessed with Harry Potter. And, I found out she has a Livejournal totally by accident.

This is going to be a great year. ;)

I'm planning at least one more fic to write for

[info]rt_challenge, but so far I've only caught up reading to August 2nd..............yes, I know. That's horrible. ;)

 

Also, I'm trying to create a new email address, since my mother deleted the email I use for people I actually know in real life (the other that I've given out occasionally is unknown to her. :P) I tried doing both vividestpink and mouseybrown, but both were taken. Somewhere, a Remus/Tonks fan has stolen my thunder. WotcherRemus isn't taken, but I just don't know about that one......my friends might start to worry about me. =D

Much Love!

Phew, it's good to be back from Ohio! It was just as hot up there as it was down here. Bummer.

Good news! I'm not going to private school next year! We were about ten minutes away from signing the tuition check when my mom decided she couldn't go through with it. As my dad says, I dodged a cannonball. :P Now, I just have a ton of  Summer homework to finish up. :(

I'm desperately trying to catch up with the 

[info]rt_challenge prompts and fics I have missed. For the next few prompts I only have one fic planned, but I expect to churn out three or so more before the ficathon is over.

-Dev

PS: Also, I have discovered in the past few weeks that my mom has deleted all of my files from the computer. All fanfiction, all artwork,and all fan movies I've made. She called Geeksquad, and we're hoping that they can retrieve them. If not, I at least have most of the artwork and fanfiction filed away on the internet somewhere. :)

Yes, I have finished.

Yes, I am past the point  of tears.

It took me nearly nine hours, from 1:41 am - 9:30 am with small breaks in between, to finish the book.

I can't really bear to post anything right now, as the grief from the book has not sunken in yet.

A Spoiler is under the cut, but let me just say that many of my predictions were sound. Maybe I'm related to Trelawney. *weak attempt at a smile*

And now I must go and sulk, or simply contemplate the end of the best book series the world has ever known. Full review will come in a few days' time...

Alright, 9 hours, 43 minutes until I can get my hands on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

I reserved a copy at Barnes and Noble, and I'm hoping they'll have it when I go to pick it up. I just go, right? :S *is worried*

My last minute predictions, just so I can say "I told you so" and "WHAT?!" to the rest of my f-list. ;)


That's all. I'm holding off reading the [info]metamorfic_moonand [info]rt_challengefics until AFTER Deathly Hallows (the latter of which I didn't even know was going on. ;) ), just because I don't want to confuse canon with fanon. I've only got 150 more pages of HBP to read before eight o'clock this evening, so I must part.

I've decided to go as Tonks. Will post pictures after I stop crying. ;)

Is anyone willing to beta my [info]metamorfic_moon Showdown fic? 

It's only 1,672 words.....I'd be very thankful. :D 


Also, I can't decide whether to go as Harry or Tonks to our Barnes and Noble's release party...I have pink hair dye, but I think Harry might be easier to pull off.........hmm....

[info]gijane7702, my mom has definitely said no to me coming along with you guys. :( I'm really dissapointed...:(

Made with a combination of Microsoft Paint and Microsoft Photodraw...

...I miss Paint Shop Pro. :(

I couldn't colorize the icons very well, but I think I'm learning how to combine rubbish programs to make something decent. ;)

Enjoy!

I was at the grocery store today with my mom, picking out all of my high-protein vegetarian diet items, when I stumbled across a huge display of Harry Potter books at the front of the store (you know, in case you wanted to begin the series and read all of the books six days before Deathly Hallows...).

 While my mom checked out, I walked over to the display, and found a Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix sticker book. It's absolutely hilarious. The book is basically headshots of the promo pics, which are low-res because they are on a sticker. There's even a place in the book where you can put all of the stickers with their matching outlines, which I think is dumb, because if I wanted the stickers to remain in the book, I wouldn't take them off of the paper.

I wanted to buy it so badly, lol.

I'm rereading HBP now, in preperation for Deathly Hallows, and to take my mind off of the OoTP movie...but I'm not going to rant about that again. ;)
