	pre-industrial sewing class ramblings over coffee and granola bars I seriously can't wait to be back in Houston, I just really haven't been doing so well lately. All these projects are killing me. I actually couldn't finish my fashion design I project because I'd forgotten how to do part of it and ended up turning in incomplete, I was so embarrassed that I faked being sick to not show up for the critique. But, hey as much life is sucking right now I realize it could be so much worse. Last night on youtube I was watching this news show and they had a clip of this lady who'd basically had her face clawed by a chimpanzee and it was the first time she showed her face since the incident. Needless to say, it was pretty horrific looking and I'm so glad I still have my face right now. I know, the chances of that happening to you are ridiculously low, but it's a really scary thought. Also! Do you guys remember that coat I was working on last year? I'm still working on it, I finally got around to putting the buttons on it~ :] Next post will be an art dump I think~ Current Mood: exhausted Current Music: Atreyu - Becoming the Bull (5 Comments |Comment on this)

	What do you do when you realize that dream you've had for like.. forever, is no longer something you even care about? I've just figured out that I don't even know what I want to do with my life anymore.. Since jr. high I'd always wanted to be a fashion designer with my own boutique.. but after everything I've learned from being in those classes, it's just.. it's not something I'd want to do for the rest of my life. So now what? I don't even know how I'm going to survive the rest of the semister. Wish me luck.

	sick and two projects to do? fuck. Currently sick as hell, started as a sore throat the night before last, well, the sore throat is gone now but I'm completely congested. It's become nearly impossible to sleep at night, last night I weaved in and out of this semi-conscious state until about 3-4 in the morning when I finally fell asleep. and amidst of all this I had two projects due this week, turned one in today, think I did well on it. The other one, I'm sewing this skirt and I have to hand stitch the hem. I like doing a little bit of hand stitching, but this is a bit over the top. Fuck, I hate school sometimes. Some positive news: I'm coming to Houston this weekend :] P.S. If you have any tips for clearing up congestion, I'd really appreciate it <3 Current Mood: sick (Comment on this)

	Ugh, so very mentally exhausted. This week has been way too busy and way too stressful. At least it's over. But, uh, I finally got my dollfie :] ( meet Jenny ) Current Mood: drained Current Music: Tegan and Sara - Living Room (10 Comments |Comment on this)

	life truely is wonderful Okay, so, I got to thinking last night: my life is seriously amazing right now. I'm starting live my dream by being in the fashion design program, my art is FINALLY going in the right direction I think, Got to go A-fest last week where I got to see my friends and finally show off my costume 2 years after actually completing it, went to see Kill Hannah last night and it was best concert I've been to like.. ever. and finally, according to the activity I've be noticing in the waiting room on Den of Angels, I should be getting my dollfie very very soon. ...now if only I could find my camera so I could have pictures from these events. Seriously, I've looked all over for that thing, I have no idea where I would have put it. Oh well I guess, what can you do? In other news, Sugar crystals will FINALLY have a new layout soon, erm, as soon as I finish it anyways XD;; I'm getting there!

	more on life at UNT I've re-learned today that I do NOT do lecture classes well. I'm already falling asleep in art history, it doesn't matter how interesting something may be to me, if you do nothing but talk about it for long periods of time, it will begin to bore me and I'll fall asleep. I always feel so bad for falling asleep in class now, but.. I can't help it. I've also realized what a ditz I am. So, today I go to my intro to fashion design class, wait outside the classroom for the class that's already in there to end. 6:00 rolls around and the class is still in there and no one's waiting with me. I begin to freak out wondering where the hell my class is. I pull out my class schedule and realize that class was monday-only rather than monday-wednesday. D: A-Fest this weekend! So so so excited!! <3 I'm starting to get nervous about my costume though.. I feel like I should have done better on it.

	Hello, Denton. So, I haven't started my classes yet (they start tomorrow), but I'm liking UNT more than I'd thought :]. I can't exactly say why, but, it's nice~ and I've always been thinking about starting to work out, annnd conveniently enough, the campus gym is a 5-minute walk away from my dorm :] awesome! Is it nerdy to actually like your textbooks? I've already read the pattern making guide I got, it's only about 30-ish pages long, but I thought it was really neat, and the other ones I got look cool too. I'm really looking forward to taking the shuttle everywhere around campus too. I've always loved the idea of taking public transportation, is that bizarre? It just sounds so neat~ My new refrigerator seems to be over-doing its job, it makes my drinks kinda slushie-ish, I don't really care to fix it though. Mmm, slushies <3 I miss my Houston peeps though :[ Current Mood: anxious Current Music: Sonic Youth - Schizophrenia (4 Comments |Comment on this)

	what the fuck, technology? I am now almost literally fighting with my computer. I think I have a virus which controls my mouse and makes it move at random. Like, right now, it's moving and it's clicking things and it's super fucking annoying. It actually creates folders on my desktop while I'm sleeping and gives them bizarre ass names. Also takes down my away messages, and attempts to open my sims custom content. Coincidentally, A file began to show up as corrupt in my system, like, it's an actual windows file. No bueno. Not sure if it's related, but, I have a feeling it might be. I think it stopped moving finally.. maybe it's programmed to do it as I'm supposedly asleep or so it figures I will be? I have no idea. Whatever, this shit actually woke me up. (If my mouse is moving, it'll take down my screen saver which is black and therefore sheds more light) I need coffee now.

	Its been a while since I made an entry, so I figured I'd make one. For the sake of brevity, here's a list of everything I've done since I last posted: -ordered a dollfie (and am currently waiting for it to come in) -2-day trip to Salado/Austin (got to see my uncle, was alot of fun) -had my birthday, am no longer a teenager (still weird to think about that..) -had the most awkward experience of life (It's a long story.. all you need to know is it involves a crazy religious lady I had to help at work) -attempted to actually use my embroidery book only to realize I can't thread an embroidery needle to save my life (I broke 2 needle threaders in the process) -got addicted to youtube -tried to gain a more realistic drawing style -went to Jamie's birthday party ('twas amazing <3) -decorated my cell phone, I think I'm going to re-do it though, as it is now it looks like it belongs to a 12-year old girl. I should be sewing more, but I have no idea what to make. I'll probobly do more when I get my dollfie in. I found a bunch of super cute patterns online that I wanna try. annnnd, I dolled a pretty unicorn lady :] ( but she's under a cut ) Current Mood: uncomfortable Current Music: Crystal Castles - Crimewave (1 Comment |Comment on this)

	still alive :) I've been meaning to make an entry since after Anime Matsuri (which was kinda amazing for the record), but I always feel so tired and dead. I hate being busy like this, but it's okay: summer is almost here. :) UNT orientation is next week I'm honestly not looking so forward to it. Last years orientation was ridiculous when I went. Though, hopefully since this one is condensed into only a day, it should be a lot better. I'll try to post pictures of the new living space once it no longer looks like a giant trash heap. Though, that may be a while. On a final note: I really want coffee right now. Current Mood: tired Current Music: Kill Hannah - Lightbulbs (1 Comment |Comment on this)
