So, I made an account to check out tumblr and it's pretty awesome. Using it is so easy and it's very clean looking. I think I will be switching over there. If you want to keep following me (for my blog and my art) you can find me at: http://www.tumblr.com/tumblelog/fiendishly-artistic
I really like tumblr.
I also really like the beach. Which is where we are now. :) It's hot, and rainy, and wonderful. We met this wonderful Swedish family at the pool earlier today. I love the islands!

....
Hey, sorry I haven't been on for a while, I had to reformat my computer and forgot my log in information. Took until just now to get the motivation to recover it. ^^; My exams went well. I got a B overall in English and an A overall in Religion. Was very good for my GPA. This semester I am taking Math (intro algebra). I was going to take my Anatomy class and Lab as well, but with how condensed summer courses are and with the company we have I decided to drop those classes for the refund.
I'm not sure I"m going to continue blogging here. I just can't get the motivation to post as much as I would like here. I'm thinking of setting up a blog on tumblr. If nothing else I'd have a lot more motivation to sign in there because a lot of my favorite artists from deviantART.com have blogs there and post images there frequently that don't usually make it to their dA accounts.
But, befofre I make the decision, I'm going to make a tumblr and see how it feels. Let you know what I think.

Drama drama drama
Also, my English teacher has dissociative personality disorder.
AS far as the drama is going, it got a bit worse for my friend, so I actually stepped in, and people were being remarkably accepting of my opinions (although slightly condescending) and I feel like things can finally be worked out now.
Tomorrow is the first of my exams (WHOW NO I HAVE TO STUDY!) It's my religion exam and I'm slightly worried because of how quickly and rushed we were when it came to going over the religions this exam is going to be covering. I don't think I'll fail, but I'm sure that I could do better if we weren't so rushed.
As for my English exam, my teacher thought she was going to give it to us on Monday, but that's our last day of school and so she informed us TODAY that it would be Wednesday. Nice. Real nice.
Why can't people just pay attention to what they're supposed to be doing?
Good news: I got my reunion letter from Howl-O-Scream. That means I'll be going in for early auditions, starting in July. I'm very excited and hope I can get a full time job there, instead of a subbing job. That measn I'll get more money because they pay you for rehearsals!
Until then I'm still going to be looking for a day job and selling art. I'm selling it for real cheap, and so if anyone knows anyone else that wants art done for them please spread the word.
That's about it for now. Tell you how I did on my first exam in my next post (that should be Thursday.)

New profile image is a good reflection of my current feelings.
So, yeah, um, I'm going a little crazy and for several very STUPID reasons.
I may be failing English because (get this) my English professor is bad at communication. Although, you know, maybe I just don't know how to ask the right questions, but you would think being as old as she is she'd be able to figure this stuff out (and wouldn't consider shoving people's things into grocery bags as 'organizing'.)
There was a death in the family, that's all I'm going to say about that.
Ren Fest is over, and that's a little sad, but sleeping in is going to be fun on the weekends.
And finally, there is so much drama going on between people in my own ensemble that is just ridiculous on so many levels I'd really like to just scream.
The worst part about that last one is one person is trying to make thigns better while everone else is trying to ignore it and the peopel who are trying to ignore it are getting offended at the person trying to apologize and make things better! How the hell does that work? Feelings were hurt. Just acknowledge it and move on!
I'm seriously not feeling ensemble of the year anymore and it really saddens me that no one has enough respect for anyone else enough to say, "You know what? This isn't right. We were given a huge honor for NOT having this kind of drama, so let's just move on."
But whatever, it doesn't really involve me too much, so I'm going to try and not worry about it. What I really need to worry about it school and how to pass it so I don't need to retake any classes. -_-

Geeky, Nerdy, MMORPG Based Love Story?
So, I've been thinking much too much about NaNoWriMo and I decided that I needed to hold back my enthusiasm by doing a little casual writing. So I'll be writing another story in the mean time (something a little less exciting but emotionally involving) and I'll hope to be posting a little bit of it soon.
I won't be able to start on it until Monday, and even then I may be a little slow since I've only got a month of school left and will have to spend most of my time studying.
Anyway, as the title says it's going to be a nerdy kind of love story centered around two people meeting over an MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) and falling in love in the fantasy world.
Of course drama happens, but I'm not sure what kind. Hoping that comes to me as I write. ^^

Too many things at once!
Alright, here's a life heavy update:
In school news, there is only a month left of classes. I'm a little worried about my grade in English (that's the class with the wackadoo teacher), but I'm fairly confident in my Religion grade and look forward to getting out of that class.
I've signed up for my summer classes. I'm taking an Anatomy/Physiology class and a lab, a Math class, and Art History (the art history class is just for fun and there aren't anymore of my classes going on that semester and I need to be taking four classes at once to be considered full time.)
There's only one week left of Renaissance Festival and while I'm exicted to get my weekends back I am going to be sad to see it go. If you're reading this and you're in the Tampa area please come out and see us.
I've been riding my bike home from school everyday and it's been getting shorter and shorter. Although today's ride sucked because I almost ran over a snake, almost GOT run over by a car, and someone who had the right of way, I did not have the cross signal, held up five other cars until I DID have the cross sign. People are idiots and snakes are scary.
Things coming up for me:
I'll be twenty and my niece and nephew will be visiting in June and may be getting a call back for Howl-O-Scream auditions. If I don't then I'll be going to regular auditions in August. If I get a full part instead of sub then rehearsals will start soon after and in October I'll be spending my Thursday, Friday, and Saturday scaring the pants off of suspecting but still very jumpy people. Then, in November I'll be participating in NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month. NaNo is a challenge for people to write a novel (defined by them as, "a lengthy work of fiction.") of 50k words or more between November 1st and November 30th. More info can be found: http://www.nanowrimo.org/eng/whatisnano

Anyway, that's all that's going on for now. Thanks for reading.

For Jess
This is something I've been meaning to do for Jess and since I have a very small window of free time right now I figure I'll go for it.
Will give you all a life update later, when I can better organize my thoughts (because I really don't care right now).
My friend is writing a story and wanted my help designing a few back ground (for now) characters since she's got so many of them. All the characters are, essentially, Greek gods, and since my sign is the Gemini my fave gods are the twins, and so I was given permission to create their characters. Here are their basics.
Story: The Athenied
True Name: Artemis
Current Name: Diana Abbot
True Age: Old
Body Age: 19
Gender: Female
Education: College Freshman (took a year off)
Occupation: Works in the college book store, occasionally volunteers at battered women shelters.
Money: Family is wealthy, but she does her best to make her own way.
Family: Not close with any family but her brother.
Father: Surgeon, travels a lot to help less fortunate countries.
Mother: Stay at home mom.
Brother: Apollo
Ethnicity: American, Greek/Roman ancestors
Recreation/Hobbies: Archery, track and field, tennis, and occasionally models for the college art classes for extra money.
Obsessions: Her two gray hounds, Castor and Pollux
Fears: Getting close to mortals, Apollo dying.
Politics: Only votes on things that have to do with people, not money.
Sexual History: Virgin goddess.
Sexual Preference: Men, but does not like to get close to mortals.
Attitude: Seems indifferent to most things unless she is dealing with women at the shelter or her brother. Opens up more around the other gods, but does not like to get close to mortals because of how fragile they are. Can sometimes be described as a feminazi.
Character Flaws: She has an overly black and white view of the genders and tends to get overly upset with men who seem to forget how to be gentlemanly.
Character Strengths: Will do anything in her power to right any sort of injustice, or at least help those involved heal.
Books/Music: Pop music, dislikes rap as most of it paints women in a subjective light. She doesn't read a lot of fiction, instead preferring magazines and anything that provides information.
Food: Artemis prefers anything more organic. For her, the less ingredients involved, the better.
Writing: Almost too neat.
Talents: See hobbies.
Powers: Healing, perfect aim, and the understanding of animals (not that she can talk to animals, more of a spiritual understanding.)
Appearance: Long, wavy, dark brown hair that curls when cut short, but she almost always wears it long. She has blue eyes and fair skin that doesn't burn, but doesn't seem to tan either. She likes to wear blues and greens, usually in the form of shorts with a tank top and yoga hoodie.
Misc: Every time they are reborn, despite being twins, Artemis is always born first.
Story: The Athenied
True Name: Apollo
Current Name: Apollo Abbot
True Age: Old
Body Age: 19
Gender: Male (is rarely reborn as female, but it happens more than Artemis switches genders)
Education: College Freshman (although started classes before Artemis)
Occupation: College bookstore with Artemis
Money: Same as Artemis
Family: Same as Artemis
Ethnicity: Same as Artemis
Recreation/Hobbies: Painting, track and field, music, theater, and makes a bit of extra money reading tarot for people on campus.
Obsessions: His pet python, Pythian.
Fears: His sister's death
Politics: Rarely pays attention.
Sexual History: Healthy sex life.
Sexual Preference: Bisexual (is drawn to artistic women and athletic men)
Attitude: Likes attention and is more the leader type, despite following his sister almost everywhere. Is easily annoyed by his sister's feminist ways.
Character Flaws: Feels a bit overshadowed by his sister's athletic talent and tries to over compensate in his music and theater.
Character Strengths: Very protective of his sister, is very charming and loyal to whoever he's with.
Books/Music: Likes poetry books the most and listens to classical music or the occasional rock music that uses elements of classical.
Food: Usually just eats what Artemis eats, but isn't picky.
Writing: Messy and angular.
Talents: See hobbies.
Powers: Slight control over fire, prophecy (when with his snake), able to tell if people are lying, healing and sickness.
Appearance: Dark brown hair that is short, but hasn't been cut in a while and curls like Artemis'. Blue eyes and tends to wear nice, brand name clothes. He rarely wear t-shirts, saving those for when he paints.
Misc: Same as Artemis.
And that's it for the twins. Let me know what you think, Jess, and if there's anything you want me to change or doesn't sound right.
