Tickled to Death!!

I am a very ticklish person by nature. If you read this, however, it does not give you permission to tickle me in the future. My dad, however... he knows more than just how to tickle me. He knows how to torture me. He knows how to hit the worst points on me until I'm literally rolling on the floor and screaming for mercy. No joke. Yet again, reading this does not give you permission to tickle me. I do not like being tickled in the least!

Now, onto more important subjects. My artwork, for instance. It has improved vastly between now and the last blog post. I have started a new style of sorts where I don't use black unless I have to. It looks more realistic. Plus, I've been adding backgrounds which just looks plain awesome anyway. Here's one of the pictures I've done recently:
Overall, I'm quite happy with this new style of mine. You can see more of my artwork on my DeviantART page. If you have the time, I'd love if you'd take a look. :D 

Anyway, that's pretty much it for now...

Gwaahhhh.....

I'm so tired right now. I really, really want to go to bed. But, nooo! I have to do this blog post first. So, people who are watching this and stuff... Do you know what pixel basing is? If you don't, well... it's when you take a picture, make a pixelated outline of it, (but you draw through the clothing and the hair) then you color it in with skin tones, and voila! You have a pixel base. Then others can add their own hair and clothing to it. It's basically for people who cant draw. :D

So, yup, all the updates for now...!

Madeleine's evil sonnet of DOOM

How hard it is to forget things long past,

These are the things that haunt me in my dreams,

Imprinted on my memory to last,

Remembering the shrill and piercing screams.

 

Waking up wide-eyed and in a cold sweat,

Dark purple shadows lie under my eyes,

Knowing worrisome things are to come yet,

Listening to the cruel and hurtful lies.

 

Death follows me as I walk the cold streets,

Always hovering and confirming my fears,

Wishing I could find some safe, warm retreats,

Ducking my head so I may hide my tears.

 

And so I continue with my haunted life,

Always seeming to feel the cold, sharp knife.


Here's the one sonnet I was complaining so much about writing! Well, now it's up here. It's not in perfect iambic pentameter, but as I was recommended to put it up by a certain teacher... I thought, "Well, why not?" And even though I may sound like I have no humility if I say this... but I think it's an awesome poem, too. =^w^= 

So, for now....

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

By the way, I'm not sure if I spelled it correctly... the title, that is. In third grade (or maybe it was fourth) we actually had to learn how to spell it. But ah well, that was a long time ago!

Did you know that sonnets are really annoying to write? I'm supposed to write one for Creative Writing, but I'm having the hardest time with it! Okay, so maybe the problem is that I'm trying to write it in iambic pentameter... It's supposed to be written in iambic pentameter. I'm having a bit of difficulty with the rhyme scheme too, but not as much. Maybe if I stop trying to write it in iambic pentameter it wont be so difficult? I mean, we're not supposed to for the class. Just sonnets are generally written like that. Blah! I need to stop ranting about this right... NOW.

Oh yes, today I made up three characters (it was all today, because I made them up at midnight. Though technically when it turned midnight, it went back to eleven o'clock... now isn't that confusing? Stupid time change...). Anyway, their names are Deryus Sigik, Camina Fysk and Jehan Takyr (I might change Jehan's last name though...). Deryus is a mercenary by trade. With his black hair and heart, he can make you shrivel under his icy glance, thus incapacitating you to the point where you're useless against his swift and deadly attacks! Camina on the other hand is carefree and easy going, always finding the silver lining on the clouds and able to enjoy the little things is life, even though she can be totally clueless at times. Jehan is not like Deryus or Camina in any way--he's a fire eater by trade, a clever trickster that can entrance you with his fiery conjugations and pull you in with smooth words until you're right in the palm of his hand... he's also very flirtatious, so watch out for him!

Oh, yes, a word on the Halloween Dance. It was a fantastical success! Even though I felt absolutely miserable, it was still lots of fun (at least for others). I think the only downside was having to work in the Fear Factor room. That didn't work out very well for me at all! When you walked in it smelled awful, and then having to watch people try to gag down vile concoctions... well, yeah. So, bad for me, good for everybody else!

I think I'm done ranting now. :D

P.S. I actually did spell it right after all! It's on Dictionary.com too. Fun, huh?

Seriously? Can I take a cookie?

A-ha! Guess what? I have a word for the day today, so I will post it up here!

Frugality: (Adj.)
economical in use or expenditure; prudently saving or sparing; not wasteful
In a sentence: Wyatt, however, misses the distinction between frugality and waste. (By the way I think that the way they use it in a sentence still doesn't make any sense... That's just me, though.)

Great for all of you Financial Lit. students who are reading this--you could really impress Mr. Austin!

Oh, yes, here's something I felt like putting up here as well:This is a picture I did last school year. Once completed, I stuffed it among a bunch of other pictures I've done over the last few years. Finally I decided to look through my pictures and pick the best out of them. When I found this, I was like "OMG, I MUST SCAN IT!" So I did. =D And here it be for all to see~!

Oh, yeah, as for the title of my blog... It's because last night after the HUUUGE volleyball tournament, the whole team came over here to eat treats and watch a movie (though I think half of them fell asleep during the movie...). So to appease the team, my mom got ice cream and oreos. And I ate many oreos. That's why my blog post is what it is. =D

And... since I cant think of much else to put on today's random blog post...

Angry Monkeys in my Head!!

So.... about my title. I have a headache. Well, yes, in a sense... I do. Not a real headache though. A headache that comes from stress and just... everything. Life is good. But it's also hard...

I'm in the school play! Just a villager, but I got in and that's what counts. Plus, I do realize that every person is important. Without everyone... well, it would just be very awkward. :) I'm contributing. At the same time... I need to be passing all of my classes to be in the play... and I have three F's already. Three! Why, I ask myself, is it so very difficult for me to keep up in my classes, to concentrate....? I think I know the answer, but... I hate it. I hate the answer. There HAS to be a better solution to it. There simply just has to be....

Tomorrow I am also planning on not necessarily throwing a party for Britty, but I want her to have a real birthday. She's sixteen... I have known her for a little over a year, but it feels like so much longer. Yes, I am committed to make her birthday a memorable one. Truly.

For no reason, I also feel.. reminiscent. I can clearly remember what was going on in my life a year ago... how my classes were different, my friends... well, my friends haven't changed much... how just EVERYTHING was different. I feel like I'm going to cry from just... everything. Happiness, sadness, just an overflow of feelings... I should probably stop reminiscing now...

Like a Choo-Choo Train

Word of the Day: Serendipity (summary of definition: Having an aptitude to make lucky discoveries by accident; good luck or fortune) 

Hello and welcome back to my blog! From now on, whenever I put a blog up, I will put my 'word of the day' at the beginning. Every day (mostly) I will find there is a word stuck in my head that sounds cool but I cant for the life of me remember what it means... so I look it up and put it on here! It's always an exciting feeling when I figure out what the word means. :3 

Anyway, as said before, I need to find a focus for my blog. I don't know if I can focus on a story that me and my friend are writing... ya know, post it up here and such... 

Please tell me what you think!

~Anna
