Played more FFXII yesterday! (I actually had the levels backwards; Balthier, Fran, and Ashe were 16, with Penelo at 15.) Uh. But anyway. Went through the Ogir-Yensa Sandsea, the Nam-Yensa Sandsea, and am now at THE TOMB OF RAITHWALL. In, like, the first area, haha. I think Balthier and Fran are... 18, now? Basch is 16 and Vaan is... 15 or 16, I forget which. I don't use him that much, really. Balthier and Basch have all 3 quickenings now, too, with Penelo, Fran, and Vaan at 2 and Penelo at 1. I'm working on it, okay?

Flying Voldie man snake is in final draft stage now. I started drawing scales on him. I hate drawing scales ): They take so loooooooong ):

I should probably try playing Metroid Prime when I get home, rather than lapsing into FFXII (in my brother's room, on my first PS2, with all the electronics going and the heater on and under a comforter with the dogs like right next to me... man it's so comfy. And warm. And makes me want to fall asleep, actually...), if only because I haven't played MP in a while and I... really probably ought to. Or maybe I'll start FFXII when I get home, and then when mum gets home I'll stop, and if she drags me out to dad's I'll probably play Folklore (or maybe not, since that's probably what I'm going to do tomorrow), and if she doesn't then I'll switch to Metroid.

Which reminds me, I started doodling a Super Metroid comic, but gave up on it a little bit after 1) my abysmal doodle of Draygon and 2) I would have to flip the page over to draw the last three or four panels.

I should probably do the last assignment for MS Office class! It's the very last assignment for this class (as far as I know)! There's only, like, one week left in this term, haha. That means a lack of updates from school which... may or may not mean a lack of updates about school (but... probably not, because I talk about school a lot OTL).

Mez gave me the first Maximum Ride book today. It's... interesting.

Christmas gifts are many and varied, and that's just from the troop. I really do think my favorite is the card that Melissa drew me. Josh, Ovan, and a metroid drinking tea together. <3! Party in first block, nobody ate the food I brought except for, you know, us. Second block I managed to actually beat somebody at Tin Pin! :D Unfortunately, I only won two out of five. ): Third block is somewhat of a kind of party; well, there's pizza, anyway. I probably actually ate more than I should have, because there's pizza next block, too. \: Seeing Avatar today! :D! In IMAX-3D, at that! :D! It'll be interesting to see how that pans out. (:

I don't care what Mrs K says about Access. It is not fun. Making databases is not fun. Entering information into databases is not fun. I probably wouldn't bitch if I were doing this for a job, but no, it's just for a class that I don't even need to take.

Not!amused me is not!amused.

Hi Wizard 101 addiction. |: Hopefully you'll last longer than my zOMG addiction, or my SMT:Imagine Online addiction (though, to be fair, that last one would probably have lasted longer if it hadn't started literally three days before my computer died last winter). Hopefully you're not a gateway drug to something like WoW, because I do not have time for WoW.

Sketched, lined, and cleaned up near the entire scene for my art project. The background is still just a sketch so far, but I lined everything else and I started coloring not!Vaporeon. It's a funny scene... at least, I think so. I mean, not!Celebi is hovering in the corner looking decidedly Not Amused, not!Vaporeon is just stepping out of its pond looking very "Oh snap!", and not!Snorlax actually it looks rather a lot like Snorlax is asleep on not!Celebi's flower garden.

Need to finish APUSH homework tonight. Of course, mum is also tasking me with mopping the kitchen floor omg as soon as I get home which... well, she stayed home today, so that's going to be a problem. I generally don't like doing cleaning-type things when mum's around, because they generally result in "Oh, now was that so bad?" type statements and it makes me want to punch something. B|

I... think there was going to be more, here, but then I totally forgot what I was going to add. ):

So we're doing a project in Photoshop for the next couple of weeks in art class. Not only did that mean that today we spent the entire block going over super super super basic things (like how to make a layer! /shoots self) but he never did tell us the requirements for the project. ...well, at least I can bring my tablet tomorrow and use it.

Uh. Totes just stalled like mad to not present college presentation today because... uh, no.

Got further in Super Metroid over break! :D I've beaten Spore Spawn. /nods ...of course, I have like no health and I'm in Norfair, so if I'm not careful I'll die in like two second because I walked into the wrong door, but I think I can manage things.

I don't know if matters have improved over last week. I'm still not feeling the group dynamic... or, rather, I'm not feeling my place in the group dynamic. It's a little disconcerting.

Unearthed Meg, put on the old set of tunes, and had her on the charger for about half an hour; it lasted maybe an hour and a half. I can't complain, because it got me through second block, which was what I was hoping. Also found my earbuds! Interesting story about that, actually. I woke my brother up to ask him if he had any I could borrow, so he goes into his bag and pulls out a pair. I'm all, "Okay, cool, I'll have these back for you later." Then he tosses them to me and I'm, "Hey wait, these look like my earbuds!" Turns out they, uh, were. So he's not getting them back later, suffice it to say.

History test was not actually that bad. I totes totes totes can't complain. Can't complain about French project, either, because I got a chance to cram while sitting outside the French class waiting for Mme Qadir to show up so I could turn it in.

Anyway, it's third block right now. I'm sure I'll find something with which to amuse myself for the next fifty minutes or so, and then French class should not be too bad at all. Even if Meg's battery did totes die on me.

...and apparently the people in this class are trying to convince the teacher to let us watch Up. I just watched Up last block. /sigh
