    when i climbed up the balcony

    My car broke down on me friday. It was hot. It was bad. I will write more about it later. Today we got locked out my grandparents’ house. I had to climb onto the balcony twice to try the doors up there. They didn’t open either. My uncle brought us keys eventually but again, it was hot. Watching the Osbornes…

    when i played catch up

    Ok, new blogger takes a looooooong time to publish on my computer. yuck 😛 what else have I not gotten to whine about lately? oh yeah! My credit card was about to expire.

    Will write about my long, long day in blog later. After waiting at Barnes and Noble until 12:30, we went across the street and bought the book at wal-mart. It took a lot less time and was much less crowded. And of course, me being me, not caring about spoilers and dying of curiousity, skimmed through the back of the…

    when i was 17 again

    From now on, whenever anybody asks how old I am, I’m just going to say 17, because apparently that’s closer to what people expect to hear. I’m so sick of hearing “no way!” like I’m lying, so now I’m just going to tell people I’m 17.

    when indy bit me

    I was playing with Indy a while ago and she bit me. Not unusual, it was just a play bite, and she didn’t even break the skin, but apparently she got just the right place and…. OWWW!!!!!! My hand hurts SO MUCH. From my palm all the way down to my elbow. It’s starting to fade a bit now, thank…

My grandparents are OK but ALL of the windows on the back and left side of the house were broken (and that’s a lot of…

    when i was going to trot for spot

    I forgot to mention that my grandmother got me one of those Izone cameras… you know, the little polaroid camera that makes little tiny pictures with adhesive backs. It’s really fun. Mom took the best pic of me and Indy with it though – Indy is mid-yawn and it looks evil! Next Saturday I am going to do this “Trot…

    when we surprised dad

    Yesterday was good! My exam went well. I always expect that teacher to throw us a curveball – he never really does. Then I took the poster up to school, and everyone loved it. There was an extra piece of foamboard in the package with it, so after I gave the poster to my uncle and threw the wrapping paper…

    Poster is finished. 7 down, 1 to go. I finished it around 5 last night – er, this morning, and then slept to around 10. Now I’m at the printer watching it print. Will take it up to school tonight. Made a B in my illustration class. Final exam for Art history is this afternoon and I haven’t had a…
