For the last month, my cat Smoky (age 15) has not been well. She confined herself to the computer room and hasn't been eating that much. We've had to force her to eat. Additionally, she hasn't been very social. Normally she is a very affectionate kitty who loves to sit in a lap and purr as loudly as she can. She'll even voice her enthusiasm by 'talking' to you as she is petted. The cat is the most affectionate animal I have ever seen - more affectionate than dogs even. However, now she doesn't purr that much. She'll purr softly and occasionally meow but it's barely above a whisper. She doesn't try to climb on a lap, she'll walk closer but that's it. Lately, she can't find the strength to walk. She's become so frail... Today, I discovered a troubling thing about Smoky. She isn't cleaning herself. I found a chunk of dried shit on her ass. Smoky, as most cats was obsessive with cleaning herself. I don't think she is happy anymore. I'm not sure if she is in pain, but I can see that she is ashamed. I don't think it's fair to let her suffer like this, so tonight I'm going to talk to my parents about putting her to sleep. She deserves to die with some dignity.

So close... today I have my bioanthropology and art history final. I'm nervous about bioanthropology because this is 60% of my grade. I have an A now, but it could crumble with this test. No pressure, right? x.X My final grade for literary interpretation is up. B. Not too bad considering how lazy I was with it. I read probably 50% of the stories I was suppose to read... Heh... I'm positive I aced my history of rock & roll exam. *crosses fingers for an A*. My final projects for digital art are finished. My Sweeney Todd self portrait poster was too big to fit on my flash drive so I'm hoping they'll be able to print it off of a DVD. I hope that'll work out later today. I also have my art history final today. I'm not too worried about that though. Art history is one of my best fields. Sometimes I wonder if I should just be an art history major. *shrug* Who knows what life throws at me. |

ACen badge came yesterday!!!!! *CONFETTI!!* Also, I found the perfect boots for Van!! *moar confetti!* I should be able to get away with not having the gloves... I mean, he didn't wear the gloves all the time. *glee* |

... it's time for me to start my own cosplays! =D I found the perfect wig for King Van (from Escaflowne). I'm not on my own computer so I can't post the picture, but it does require a bit of cutting. His costume isn't difficult - a red vest shirt, cream pants, a few brown belts, creme ties on the shirt and a sword (the difficult part). I would like the finish this costume before Halloween then display the cosplay at Ohayocon. I'm a little tempted to make a small Hitomi doll to carry with me, but that'll have to wait. I wish I could do the wings, but I think it would be too difficult. D= The other costume I want to do is Seto Kaiba. One of my friends is planning a Yugi cosplay and another is thinking about cosplaying as Yugi's grandpa... whatever his name was. XD. I'm not sure which one of his outfits I want to make. Well, I have plenty of time to wait I guess. My friend doing the Yugi cosplay is waiting until ACen to showcase her awesomeness so I may as well. |

And it sucks for a photography student. They have a grand total of three photography classes. Fundamentals, Advanced Photography 2 and Advanced Photography 4. Yeah, apparently, if I wanted to take advanced photography 2 next semester I would need to buy a thousand dollar camera by January... yeah... I'm thinking no. I know I have to buy a digital camera someday, but I'm going to hold off on that until I absolutely have to. x.X So, yeah, I'm thinking that next semester will be a general studies semester. Hopefully, I'll be able to get a large chunk of general studies out of the way so when I get down to Bloomington, I can concentrate on what I came to college for. Yeah, two years in college and I'll leave with one photography class. One. *sigh* |

So, I've been looking at the schedule of classes for Spring 2008. I'm thinking of General Geology, Bioanthropology, 14th-contemporary art history, music for the listener (music appreciation) and social psychology. I want to get a bunch of general studies out of the way before my transfer. Then again, I think I should wait until I talk to a representative in Bloomington before I make any decisions for spring. I know I really need to take two more science courses and art history for my major. (That and art history is awesome sauce!) |

Monday: Drawing Fundamentals I 1:30-4:15 Photography Fundamentals I 6:00-8:45 I started off the day by waking up late (noon ^^;; ). I took the quickest shower known to man, then I put my hair up in a ridiculous excuse for a ponytail. Then, I arrived at school only to realize that I did not bring an umbrella. Hoodies don't protect you from rain very well. Then I arrived at the Visual Arts building only to realize that I had also forgotten my schedule, so I have no idea where my class is. Luckily, Jackie from the Visual Communication and Design office was gracious enough to help me. The prof for my Drawing Fundamentals I class went over the syllabus, so you imagine how boring that was. The man said "In this class, you will depend on realism in your drawings; not imagination." I'm sitting there thinking "Well, I'm screwed." LOL. I tend to defy reality in my every day life. Ask any of my friends. DEFY! Lulz. Anyway, after my drawing class, I went with a few friends to United Art and Education for art supplies. I bought a new portfolio. It's cloth and has a shoulder strap. *luvs* Of course, carrying it may prove dangerous. I think I hit a few civilians with it. LOL. Anyway, I got into Photography Fundamentals I. This was the class I was looking forward to - being a Photography major. The professor seems like a nice guy, however, he also likes to draw things out. After explaining the syllabus (for two hours) he decides to throw in a quick History of Photography special. So... sleepy... Diet Coke does not help! Finally, I arrived home. My friends from Anime Club were going to see Stardust. However, being as exhausted as I was, I passed out. It wasn't a good day for me. x.X Then, I woke up at 4 AM and couldn't go back to sleep. I am being fueled by Diet Coke as I type. Yeah... it's not even the second day of school for me and I'm already dead. x.X I think this is an omen o.o

My mother and I are going to Ohio to visit my grandmother, and my uncle. My uncle's cancer is returning, and the doctors don't think he can recover from it again... The whole situation is frightening. I mean, after this weekend, there's a possibility that I'll never see him again. It scares me. Just typing about it is making my chest hurt. You know, I've never claimed to fear death, but with my uncle's health hanging in the balance, suddenly I'm terrified. It also makes me question whether I'm living my own life to the fullest. I should really start working on all the comics I had wanted. I'm constantly talking about comics, yet I rarely have finished pieces to show. ^^;; Well, it feels good to get these things off my chest. I just hope I am strong when facing my uncle |

I registered for a few Fall 2007 classes. I'm taking Drawing I, Ancient thru Medieval Art and Photography Fundamentals. I still need to register for two more classes, and I'm hoping to take an online Biology course for the summer. I can't survive in a real science or math lecture. I'm not very sure what other classes to take during the semester. I'm thinking Religions of the East, Philosophy of Art, Children's Literature or an education course. |

My professor gave everyone a study guide with 70 words to define. On our tests, he gives us 9 words and we have to identify 5 of the 9. The 9 words can be any of the words on the 70 word list. I answered most of the definitions, with the exception of a handfull of words I couldn't identify. Guess which words were on my test? I swear-80% of the words I couldn't find were on that damn test. We also had to answer an essay question on either the French revolution or nationalism. I didn't remember the phases of the French Revolution so I decided to asnwer nationalism, only to discover that I barely knew anything about nationalism. Eep. If I do bomb the test, I'll have to be sure to ace the next paper and the final. Blah. On a separate note, spring... where did you go? ;_; |

I feel really stupid right now. I told a guy that I had feeligs for him in October. Finally, out of curiousity, I asked him if we were boyfriend and girlfriend. He tells me that he just wants to be friends. You know, if he didn't want to start anything, he could've said something in October, rather than waiting five months, giving me enough time to believe there was something. I feel stupid, and manipulated.
Oh well... |

I am finally registered on gaia. It only took me about two years, but I finally registered. XD. I am Kitaaaaa. My character is deliciously goth, sporting the starter skull shirt with baggy jeans. I am currently in pursuit for the paper cat ears. (Cat ears = Instant power!) I shall work towards an avatar of pure insanity, in honor of the username I selected.
I am currently debating on a cosplay for Ikasucon. I'm thinking something from Silent Hill, but then again, this will be a small con so a character from a popular series could be best. Or maybe a generic catgirl maid. *shrug* |

I had a great time at Ohayocon. I spent a lot of time in the Dealer's Room and the Artist Alley. I met a few nice people in the Artist Alley who were willing to talk to me about art. (Yay!) This was the first convention when I spent more money on art than merchandise in the dealer's room. I am glad to support my fellow artists. (If you can see I am one. *cry*). I got my grades for Fall 2006 while at Ohayocon. I have an A in 3d design (that surprised me), A in sociology, A in english practicum (because my placement test scores sucked ass), B in composition and B in psychology. I have no idea how I managed to get an A in my three-dimensional design. I guess he really liked the wire Zombie Cat I made. *shrug* Right now, I am taking ancient literature, europeon history since 1600, two-dimensional design (yay), speech communication and child psychology. For my literature class, I have to write two 1000 word papers (that doesn't sound so bad) but my teacher seems flat. Then again, it was just the first day. Hopefully, she'll act more lively today when discussing the Iliad. For my history class, I have to write two 3-5 page book reviews on All Quite on the Western Front and on Broken April. Today we will be discussing the Reformation. Sadly, I couldn't read the chapter. It was so dry that I couldn't concentrate. x.X I am looking forward to two-dimensional design. This professor seems nice. Additionally, it looks like I'll be able to get along with more students in this class than I did in my three dimensional design class. (They were asses). I'm also excited because I had to buy a huge drawing pad which means I needed to buy one of those huge portfolio carriers. Glee. I feel like a real art student. ^^. Speech Communication doesn't look insanely difficult. I have to give a 4-6 demonstrative speech, 5-7 oral presentation supporting a point of view, 20-25 in which I must review a movie, tv program, web site, magazine etc. In this speech, I have to analyze the way the messages transmit eaning, how they are received etc. The 20-25 speech may be difficult, but it's not until the mid-late April. I am going to like Child Psychology. The professor is fun and she makes the subject interesting. Additionally, the information itself is intriguing. This is the first time this school year when I've had more female professors than male. (The only male professor I have is for history). |

w00t! Finals are almost finished! I received my portfolio back from my professor yesterday. I have a B in english. In english, I discovered that I cannot write an academic paper to save my life. Luckily, my professor told me that "Writing fiction and writing an academic paper are two entirely different things. I have known people who could write brilliant fiction but wrote horrible academic papers" w00t! There is hope! I just finished my psychology final, which was fairly easy. It was finished within 30 minutes, a task which I am regretting now. However, I am confident (or at least wishing) that I did well on that exam. This exam covered social psychology and psychological disorders (I enjoyed both chapters btw). I'll probably get an A or B in the class. If I aced this test, I'd get an A. If I earned a B (which I usually do on these tests) then I'll have a B in the class. It depends. In approximately 90 minutes from now, I shall take the sociology exam. Most of the sociology exams are simple. I usually get As, with one excemption (and it was because my essay sucked... horribly). Hopefully, I'll get an A, or a B. My 3d design class from Hell shall end soon. I just have to give my professor the final project tomorrow. I'm making a zombie cat "bank" (with an adjustable head). He said I could incorporate one of my comic books characters, and I chose zombie cat. I'm not sure whether this will fulfill the criteria or not, but dude. Zombie Cat. (It's called "Hybrid Wire Form". Basically, I needed to combine two or more objects together. The form has to be made of wire and a skin which is paper in my case. Tissue paper) I'll get a B. On a separate note, I am going to start working on a few comic books. I had an idea for a short story involving Pooky, the zombie child. I'm debating if I should make it a narrative poem or not. |

It's been awhile since I've last posted here, so I thought I'd make a dramatic comeback. I'm going to be a busy girl this week. I have a 2-3 Psychology paper on prejudice in America, a 3-4 page Sociology paper on social distance. Both of them are due Thursday. I told myself I was going to write my psychology paper the minute my english class was finished, but I just can't think of anything to say. I'm so tired. I think I'm going to wait until I get home tonight to write it. Then I'll have access to my sociology book for a quick reference. I have no idea how to go about writing my sociology paper; I sent an email to my sociology professor. I hope she gets it really good. I'm hoping to have both papers finished tomorrow, thus giving me a few days to write a 3 page draft for my research paper on Silent Hill. I asked the library to email a few articles related to my topic to me and I have yet to receive them. I hope I get them quickly. Time is of the essence. On a separate note, I did finish a design project. We were told to make a light fixure using posterboard. If I remember, I'll get the picture I took of it up. (I'm on the school's computer and I don't have access to a scanner). I think it looks cool. I hope the professor likes it too. I'm starting to think I'm not an artist and I'm wondering if I should look into other fields to find another major. I thought I was a decent artist, but... I don't know. I registered for spring courses this morning. I'm taking two dimensional design, history of western civilization, literature, introduction to computers and child psychology. Also, when I am able to, I'm going to change my major to "Art Education". I need to find out when to send my application to Bloomington. I know the registration deadlines, I just need an honest opinion rather than a half assed email like I received the last time. x.X |

I'm the emo kid. Are you proud of me, mama?
Emo Kid
You are 0% Rational, 28% Extroverted, 0% Brutal, and 14% Arrogant. |
You are the Emo Kid, best described as a quiet pussy! You tend to be an intuitive rather than a logical thinker, meaning you rely more on your feelings than your thoughts. Not only that, but you are introverted, gentle, and rather humble. You embody all the traits of the perfect emo kid. You are a push-over, an emotional thinker, gentle to the extent of absurdity, and so humble that it even makes Jesus puke. (And Jesus almost never pukes, being immortal and not requiring an act of puke to dispell toxins from his corporeal manifestation.) If you write poetry, you no doubt write angsty, syrupy lines about depression, sadness, and other such redundant states of emo-being that go something like this:
life is a spike / upon which i have impaled mysefl / fuck you dad
So, your personality is defective because you are too gentle, rather underconfident in yourself, decidely lacking in any rational thought, and also a bit too inhibited. Plus, your poetry really upsets your father.
I probably made you cry, didn't I? Fucking Emo Kid.
To put it less negatively:
1. You are more INTUITIVE than rational.
2. You are more INTROVERTED than extroverted.
3. You are more GENTLE than brutal.
4. You are more HUMBLE than arrogant.
Compatibility:
Your exact opposite is the Smartass.
Other personalities you would probably get along with are the Hippie, the Televangelist, and the Starving Artist.
*
*
If you scored near fifty percent for a certain trait (42%-58%), you could very well go either way. For example, someone with 42% Extroversion is slightly leaning towards being an introvert, but is close enough to being an extrovert to be classified that way as well. Below is a list of the other personality types so that you can determine which other possible categories you may fill if you scored near fifty percent for certain traits.
The other personality types:
The Emo Kid: Intuitive, Introverted, Gentle, Humble.
The Starving Artist: Intuitive, Introverted, Gentle, Arrogant.
The Bitch-Slap: Intuitive, Introverted, Brutal, Humble.
The Brute: Intuitive, Introverted, Brutal, Arrogant.
The Hippie: Intuitive, Extroverted, Gentle, Humble.
The Televangelist: Intuitive, Extroverted, Gentle, Arrogant.
The Schoolyard Bully: Intuitive, Extroverted, Brutal, Humble.
The Class Clown: Intuitive, Extroverted, Brutal, Arrogant.
The Robot: Rational, Introverted, Gentle, Humble.
The Haughty Intellectual: Rational, Introverted, Gentle, Arrogant.
The Spiteful Loner: Rational, Introverted, Brutal, Humble.
The Sociopath: Rational, Introverted, Brutal, Arrogant.
The Hand-Raiser: Rational, Extroverted, Gentle, Humble.
The Braggart: Rational, Extroverted, Gentle, Arrogant.
The Capitalist Pig: Rational, Extroverted, Brutal, Humble.
The Smartass: Rational, Extroverted, Brutal, Arrogant.
Be sure to take my Sublime Philosophical Crap Test if you are interested in taking a slightly more intellectual test that has just as many insane ramblings as this one does! |
 |
My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:
|
You scored higher than 99% on Rationality |
|
You scored higher than 99% on Extroversion |
|
You scored higher than 99% on Brutality |
|
You scored higher than 99% on Arrogance |

I took my first college exam today. I hope I did well. x.X My duck lamp for three dimensional design was a success though. I received a few comments on the placement of my project, and a few people thought my clay duck was cute. Rachel: *gleee* ^.^ I bought a container of plaster today. 8lbs. Oh boy. It's going to be fun dragging around along the campus </sarcasm> |
