Egads, i have this awful urge/desire to start making new layouts for the blog, for the long neglected insom site, for the even LONGER neglected Java Addict, and other such creative things like that. Alla sudden i want to do those profiles i was gonna do for insom, i have the basic ideas in my head, i just haven't implemented on them yet. And i want to try my hand at that nifty looking blog design i saw somewhere out *there* on the www. I've started brainstorming again on Ajikeshi too, what a surprise!

So actually, they're not *awful* urges, just incredibly inopportune. Because i still haven;t finished my lab or my bib cards. The bib cards, i could probably do mostly during lunch tomorrow or something, but i really need to do the lab. But i really really Really don't want to. Mou.

Maybe if i hurry i can do most of the layout tonight after church.

Or maybe i can do the layout now and do my lab tonight...

Blah.

Went to shreveport yesterday, to Barksdale to be exact. Oh wait, i gotta back up. FRIDAY afternoon was spent being told that we ("we" being annA, John, LaUrA and Mara) were not supposed to be soliciting without permission from administration, and especially not when it's to close to Tax Time. Read more about it here. But i did manage to get some Hazelnut Coffee Icecream (yum!!!) and the gods saw that it was all good. (and mara got one or two remarks and a compliment (sorta) about her accent. o_O. It was odd.)

The night was good, tho, and made up for the lack of enthusiasm by the greedy business owners to sponsor our wonderful literary magazine. Went with Lisa, first to Quizno's i think its called? where i saw Laura and Co. Then we went to the recital, which was d�licieux!! Lots of absolutely wonderful songs. Made me want to go practice for my own recital, even tho it was late ^_^. Very inspiring, very very very much so. Then we went somewhere to meet my dad so he could pick me up, and of course we had coffee. It was a little on the weak side, but i'll forgive. I was in a forgiving mood, esp. after that last aria. Lisa and i were trying to sing it from memory from when we left the recital till my dad picked me up, hehe. So it was, all in all, a Good Day.

Yesterday, we intended to get up early to depart for the Air Force Base, but didn't quite manage... We left the house around 9:30, though, so it wasn't very late. I slept almost the entire way to shreveport, since i had prepared by bringing lots of pillows and even a blanket. It was nice. Went shopping at the base, blah blah and all that, it wasn't very interesting. The Korean grocery shop had changed owners, and they didn;t have the melon bars i always get, so i was disappointed... T_T *sniffle*. We then went to some car place, i think Hixon Autoplex? I'm not sure. My mom stayed in the car cuz she wanted to nap, and i kept going back and forth between the car and the building. It turned nice outside, the kind of weather you want to be outside in, and i couldn't make up my mind what to do. I needed to work on my resumee, but i wanted to stay outside, but then my mom wouldn't let me climb on top of the car to work. Gr. So i ended up abandoning the idea of getting work accomplished and tagged along with my brother while they looked at cars.

Went to sleep in the car again on the way back, but not before i actually did get a little work done. Slept pretty much the whole trip, and woke up with that sticky feeling between my fingers from that dratted Louisiana humidity. If there;s anything i hate, it's being sticky. ARG. So, was on the verge of being cantankerous, but luckliy we soon pulled into our driveway. So, hands were washed and nicely dried, and the problem was solved.

Then i worked on scholarship stuff for hours and hours and hours. I'm not kidding. We got home about 5-ish, ate dinner and talked, so i worked on that stuff from 9 pm to 2:30 am. Five and a half hours. But, it was productive if also frustrating. And i talked to Joseph, too. We discovered what space music was.

Today? went to church, almost fell asleep, cringed at the awful sound of our so-called music program, drew quite a lot. I drew a woman, i'm thinking she'll be blond, but she's definitely a character thats going to stay. Maybe a site hostess? And i drew some wings and long, flowy robe-type thingies, and lots and lots of disembodied eyes. It was fun. A baby fretted the whole sermon. Not crying, just fretting. Anyone know what i mean? And that annoyed the heck out of me in some back part of my mind, because the front was too busy drawing to care.

Hm. Maybe i should work on that lab now.
