so I'm trying (TRYING! REALLY!) to write my English paper...or a bit of it, anyway. And it sucks. I mean, seriously. I know I'm not the best writer in the world, but I thought I was at least coherent. I thought I could put words together and have them make sense (I guess that's the definition of coherency, though. Hmmmh.)
I WAS WRONG.
I hate my paper. :( I wanna tear it to little bits and eat them for lunch. Well, dinner, I guess.
*cries*
On a COMPLETELY unrelated note, last night I was babysitting and when the kids were in bed I turned on the TV and ended up watching Naruto: Shippuden (on the Disney channel...) for, like, two hours. Gaara's English voice is so friggin' weird. Seriously.

So I was in Barnes and Noble yesterday and I saw the "VIZBig" edition of InuYasha. It made me feel really old, and a little nostalgic. I mean, I remember the first time that I read InuYasha - naive little 12 year old me sitting in the children's section of Barnes and Noble, eyes widening from all the gore.
I'm so different now. Sometimes I long for the innocence of my childhood, and other times I'm glad that I'm my age. I'm glad that I read all that stuff when I was young. Honestly, I think it has made me more mature, and (probably) smarter.
I sent in all my college applications today. That also made me feel old. But really, I've always felt older than I am. I am an old lady, basically. Sigh.

so....sleepy...I'm trying to get my art formal done ('cause I waited 'til the last minute, like always), and I am JUST.SO.TIRED.

it looks good, though, so I am happy.

Long day. But nice.
everyone seemed pleased with the anime club t-shirt design, so I can sleep easily now. Although since now I have to draw the freshmen, i guess it's too early to relax. *sigh*
I was an idiot-head and I forgot to bring home my (giant) sketchbook. Poor Souma-sama...he's going to go unfinished...his hair is pretty much done, but what about the rest of him (do I even want to draw the rest of him)?
my first AP English test has been over the last two days. They weren't that bad, actually. I mean, they weren't fun or anything, but I've had worse. For example, physics. I would rather take thirty essay tests than one physics test. Anyway: tomorrow we start Oedipus Rex! Yay! (you know you're a nerd when you get excited about things like Oedipus Rex . But that is life for you). Frankly, I wouldn't mind doing any kind of unit as long as it wasn't poetry. I like poetry, but it gets old after three weeks.
This is completely random, but I think I'm in love with Shirow Miwa's artwork (he writes Dogs: Bullets and Carnage). Holy crap. He does these doujinshi drawings and makes them look even better than the canon art. Also: yesterday I found out that the artist of MPD Psycho (the most cracktastic of all the cracktastic mangas) is the guy who illustrated O-Ren's backstory in Kill Bill (the anime sequence). My mind was blownnnnnnnnnnnn

good-bye October.
Last night, LB,
I wish people in my school dressed up like K-Fed. That would be interesting, to say the least. And awesome.

It's Halloweennnnnnnnn
happy birthday to
cornjuice102! She's 18 today...now she can vote, and buy cigarettes and porn. Not that she would do either of those things, of course. Ha ha.
I'm going trick or treating tonight for the NHS, which should be interesting, to say the least.
Tomorrow is the first day of November! Where did October go?! It went by so fast...but eh, 21 days until I go to *California*, so I don't care.

Holy crap it looks 84572340908357098437037598347593475 times more...romantic? than I had anticipated. Lightning looks so badass. The little boy is so cute. Sarah/Sara/Sarai looks like Layla (from NANA). And Snow's voice sounds familiar.
It looks romantic and freakin' dramatic. Is it about racism? I don't know...
Those are some sexy graphics...they make me want to cry a little bit. And I love that song. I need a PS3!!!
(did you guys know that Lightning was drawn to be a female version of Cloud? Her personality seems like his, too)
Also:
I finished the anime club T-shirt design (the front, anyway). WOW IT TOOK ME THIS LONG. BELIEVE ITTTTTTT
but it's done. I'm bringing it to school tomorrow, so be preparedddddd I haven't done the back yet, though. But I'll do it soon. Over the break, maybe?
And lastly: procrastination has won me over once againnnnn
I have to write a paper tonight that's due Wednesday. Oh boy.

One of my favorite historical figures is Cesare Borgia. I guess he isn't all that well-known, but I find him (and his family, the Borgias...duh) absolutely fascinating.
Brief history alert!
Cesare Borgia was the bastard son of Pope Alexander VI. (Some people think that Alexander VI - whose birth name was Rodrigo Borgia - sold his soul to Satan to become the pope, since he was a dirty, dirty man. During the time period, which was late 15th/early 16th century, it was common for "holy men" to have a few illegitimate children bouncing about. Pope Alexander VI was no exception - he had several bastards, but pretended to be the uncle of his children instead of their father. Anyway, onto Cesare). He had several siblings - 4 brothers and 1 sister (some of these siblings were only half-siblings, but I'm not talking about them, except for one, so meh). Anyway, Cesare (we're on a first name basis, by the way) was supposedly mind-blowingly, disturbingly beautiful, like
Cesare is remembered today as one of Italy's all-time most effective (but brutal) military commanders. People living during his time period were terrified of him (although, it would seem, women weren't - the man had 11 illegitimate children, for crying out loud). He was good friends with Leonardo da Vinci (no joke), though. And his sister, Lucrezia - who is believed to have harbored intense incestuous feelings for him - frequently murdered any woman who appeared to have a chance at stealing him away from her (Lucrezia is a really interesting woman, to say the least. Like I said, she was Cesare's younger sister, and she loved him reallyyyyyyyyyy intensely. She had several husbands - it is widely believed that she murdered most of them with the Borgia family's trademark poison, Canterella. Yay, crazy ladies). So he was, uh...hated by some and loved by others.
I love him! :)
I think he, and his family (from Lucrezia to Alexander VI, the devil pope), are so incredibly fascinating. I'm not sure where I heard about them first - probably from the (shonen-ai) manga Canterella by Yu Higuri (I have Cesare and his colleagues on the brain because I've been reading Canterella all day and I just checked out a new novel from the library called The Borgia Bride. Yay, Cesare 8D. I think he's the bad guy in the novel, but eh, whatever). You Higuri's artwork is dazzlingly beautiful
ANYWAY. Uh. I guess this post was both an advertisement for Canterella and an impromptu history lesson for all you n00bs out there (but then I guess I can't really expect everyone to be as big of a nerd as I am. I didn't look any of the stuff I typed here up - it's all from my head. Well, except for the name of Giovanni's position and Cesare's number of illegitimate children. Who knows stuff like that off the top of their heads?)

Several strange things happened today.
1) I somehow managed to get an "A" on a physics quiz,
2) I caught a junior boy secretly taking my picture. (oh wow, that sounds way more skeevy than what actually happened. So what happened was, I was doing some homework in the library during Study Hall when I looked up and saw this boy - a junior - looking around in the stacks, presumably for a book. I thought he looked a little shifty, but didn't really think much of it; the next time I looked up, though, he was taking my picture! Secretly! But the dumbass left the flash on on the camera, so I saw him. he hurried away really quick and then he and all his friends had a good laugh. I've said it before and I'll say it again: boys just don't make much sense. I mean, I could kind of understand if I was a hot girl, but, uh, I'm not),
and 3) Some boys tried to egg my brother when he was in our front yard. Yeah. It was 9:30 this evening, and they just walked by, through some eggs at him (missed), and left. LB didn't know who they were; my mom (bless her) told him to turn on the hose just in case they came back. They didn't, though.
Weird.
