Kitty!

Cower before the cutenessss!!!!!!!!
This lovely picture was drawn by candypalmer on DeviantART and called Kenshin Neko, I believe. As always, I colored it. This one was just for fun, it was small, and easy, and just too cute to leave alone!!!
It also reminds me of something Fruit Bat and I never mentioned, the cats that live by the water tower.
Around december we noticed one cat, very interesting colors (in my humble opinion.) mottled dark, hanging around the watertower behind the fence. Shortly after this, we noticed that she had kittens!
This interestingly-colored cat has been dubbed "Mama"- even though she deserves a better name. My fault really, I just kept on calling her that and now I can't stop. She has three beautiful kittens- though they're mostly grown by now.
There's a cream one, a orange one and a gray one. The cream and orange are slightly striped, but the gray is solid.
We've been calling the cream one (who we think is a girl) Solstice, the gray one (who we think is a boy) Midnight, and the orange one (who we also think is a boy) got his name last, Sol... or is it Saul? We never really specified....
Anyway, behold the awesomeness of kenshin and battousai in kitten form. and don't pet battousai- he will claw off your face- search your feelings, you know this to be true.

The Strangest Thing....

Reining

Yes, reining, not raining, but reining. Spelled as in horse reins. Sunday Vulpecula and I went to the horse show that San Angelo is hosting. We watched about ten horses and their riders perform a reining pattern. I'm not sure which pattern it was but I was VERY excited and happy to have been around horses for a bit. In reining, a horse and rider perform one of around eight different patterns. In these patterns the horse and rider are required to perform circles at different speeds (canter, gallop usually), then around four fore-quarters, sliding stops, and a few roll-backs. If you don't know what I'm talking about then just go take a look at this video. If you don't care then fine, I dont' care either. You don't have to like knowing about horses.



We didn't stay for the entire show because they were only doing reining patterns, and the announcer said something like 59 horses were going to be performing. We got up and left pretty soon after that.

I might go over there tomorrow to see if they're still performing. It's free so why not? LOL! XD

My Papa wasn't feeling very well on Sunday either. I found out that he hadn't been feeling well for about three weeks. We all thought that he just had a cold or something but he didn't. My Granny took him down to the emergency room yesterday and they found out that he has a stomach ulcer. My family and I were all thankful that it wasn't something worse. I'm going to take my Aloe Vera juice over to him tomorrow. In case you didn't know Aloe Vera juice is shown to help alleviate and sometimes eliminate stomach ulcers. I use it for my IBS symptoms because it helps your stomach and digestive tract. Not only that but it's good for your hair and skin. Go take a look at your lotion or shampoo, it's probably in there.

Yesterday I had my walking fitness class. Now our teacher let's us do whatever we want in that class. You HAVE to walk but you can jog, run up and down the football bleachers, do crunches, etc. Well, I decided that I was going to walk a lap then do bleachers. I went up and down them skipping every other step to get a really good work out. I kept going even when my legs were burning and I felt woozy. I shouldn't have done that because today I woke up, hopped out of my bed, and nearly fell flat on the ground. My Tibialis anterior muscles hurt like crud now (for those who don't know that's the muscles attached to the back of your tibia). Man it was so pathetic! Whenever I tried going down any stairs today I had to hold on to the rail really tight to keep from falling. Vul thought it was funny! It actually is. I haven't had these muscles sore since middle school. I feel like a weakling now. I have that class tomorrow and I'm going to do the bleachers again. It's the only way I'm going to get the soreness to work itself out.

I would also like to mention that Vul and I joined the Chi Alpha Christian group here. It's pretty cool. We have yet to go and find a Bible study that we can attend.

Anywho, here's our shirts! Freakin' awesome if I do say so myself!I'm also an anime club member here. I'm mentioning this because last Friday, when they went to play this one anime called Shuffle, it some how was switched to English. As soon as the girl started to speak in English there was this epic scream of "AHHHH!!! NOOOOOOO!!!! Turn it off!!!" It was hilarious! We all freaked and demanded for it to be put in Japanese. LOL!


Anywho, for anyone who cares Vul and I are coming home this weekend!!! YAYS!!!! *dances happily* I can't wait but I must.

growth! and other things

Well, interesting things today. Two at least. The first being something that actually happened Saturday, and today.
Yes, I'm writing in an unusually cryptic and brief style. Deal with it.
On Saturday the Fruit Bat and I bought some clothes (just a jacket thing- it was cute and on sale) the lady rung them up, we paid, put on the jackets and then we went to Wal-mart to pick up some batteries.
On the way into the store, the little thief-detector alarm whatsist went off. No biggie- there was someone exiting as we entered so we didn't much care.
Then it went off again as we left. The worker checked our reciept and purchase (yes, they matched.) and waved us on. While I was curious as to why this happened, I disregarded it as unimportant.
Today I decided to wear the jacket and found that honking big plastic doomahickey still attached. So I was walking around yesterday with that on my back...
Fortunately for me, it was the kind with a microchip and not ink inside- so it didn't 'splode when I got it off. It annoys me though- I could have been stopped for shoplifting something that I paid for, just because the salesclerk was so busy upselling FruitBat that she forgot to remove the tag!
The second thing is much happier- I have a sprout! It wasn't there this morning, but I checked just a minute ago, and there is a little green delicate wonder poking its head up out of the soil! (Cries tears of joy!)
Now I just have to keep it alive, the dear little thing... (goes to talk to plant)

week/end

Well, the week seemed fairly eventful before I sat down to write about it! Fruit Bat was forced to move, as anyone who follows this blog knows. I managed to drag my butt over to church this morning- everyone was very friendly there (they gave me bread!)- but there aren't many college-age people there. Also, about a month ago I guess, I succumbed to a persistent desire to try and grow something, namely those little valentine plants. Sadly, a month later, I still have a small pot of dirt and no strawberries. So I got over my head and wound up buying a pot, dirt, a trowel for scooping the dirt, and some seeds. I'll let you know if anything ever grows. I planted balsam, which I had never heard of before- but at least I have more seeds if anything goes wrong with this batch. The main reason its been a while since I posted is that I was determined to finish this picture before I posted again. I won't even say how long it took me. It's called GIRL with WOLF by an artist called Wieringo on DeviantArt. Once again, I just colored it. In his description of the piece at the bottom, he said that he wanted it to be "ominous"... I always wound up with the impression that the girl was sort of telling the viewer to back off- that she could deal with it. Unlike previous pictures I've colored I used a program called paint.NET, http://www.paint.net/ What's great is that it's free and is much better than microsoft paint. Not as good as photoshop, but if you aren't wanting to pay a lot of money for good results... it's perfect for me. Yay poor broke college kids. Like I said, it's free to download.

Really?! BAKAS!!!!

I AM SO ANGRY!!!! SO MAD!!! SO PEEVED!!! SO VINDICTIVE!!! SO INDIGNANT!!!! Why? Well, let's see my suite mate and I are being forced out of our dorm. Yes. We have to leave our dorm and move in with two other people. Apparently you can't have less than three people in an apartment on campus setting. It's like illegal or something. I mean really? I just set my dorm up how I wanted it, all nice and homey, comfy, and beautiful. Not only that but it's not fair that my suite mate and I are being kicked out of our dorm. We've been here since last semester. My suite mate has been here for two years! Why don't they make the other two girls move their crap?! Why not just get one more person to join our apartment setting?! Really?! Is it that hard?! UGH!!!

Vul came over and helped me pack up most of my things (thank you SO MUCH Vulpecula). I didn't realize how much stuff I'd brought with me. I'd take a picture and show you but I can't find my camera. I can't find my camera because I had to pack every freakin' little piece of scrap paper up, lent, and dust molecule up. Now it's lost amongst all my junk.

*scowls at pile of junk*

"You're not really junk, I'm just angry."

I'm just so very upset right now and displeased with the entire situation. I have to move all my things into the other dorm tomorrow. My mom is coming down to help. She's upset too.

*sigh*

Well, I'm off to bed finally. Night.

*thinks to self*

"This is my last night in my dorm...."

Sephiroth and Big Mistakes

I opened it. Yes, that. I didn't think I ever would but I did. I was forced into opening it. I made several huge mistakes. It HAD to be opened. I have my reasons. Wondering what 'it' is yet? Should I tell them Chi? Sephiroth? Shi might know what I'm talking about, that is if she ever got on here.

An eraser.

Yep, that's what 'it' is. A HUMONGONORMOUS eraser. My math homework demanded the use of it. I wouldn't have been forced into using it if my teacher hadn't been so picky on how you must set up your homework.

1. You can only use one side of the paper. Leave the other side blank.

2. You can only have one column on each paper.

3. You MUST leave a space between each problem.

Want to know what I did wrong that required an eraser of the HUMONGONORMOUS size? All three of them. Yes, I was angry. Yes, I could have used new paper. No, I didn't want to waste the paper.

There you have it. I present to you the HUMONGONORMOUS purple eraser, "For Big Mistakes!" Everyone clap please. Cheer if you wish.

On a side note I now have two betta fish; Chi and Sephiroth. You've already met Chi in my last post. I got Sephiroth yesterday after my previous number two betta died. Number two betta I bought because I knew that he was sick. I wanted to save him but sadly I couldn't. Therefore, I took him back and got Sephiroth.

Sephiroth is all white. Yes, all white. Vul and I have never seen a solid white male betta fish before so I got him. Not just because of him being white, but do to the fact that when I picked him up he went nuts-0, and tried to attack us through the cup.

Vul mentioned the name Sephiroth when I joked about naming him Cloud. His crazy behavior and desire to attack us through the cup made me consider the name. Thus he became Sephiroth. For those who do not know the significance of the name Sephiroth, he's only the coolest, most evilest villain in a video game called Final Fantasy VII. He's pretty too! *hugs Sephiroth then is killed by him*

On our way back to the college Vul held him while I drove. We were at a red light, I looked over at Vul, and said:

Me: "He's pretty...!"

Vulpecula: "Yeah, pretty hostile."

Me: *laughs*

*light turns green, i step on accelerator, and look down at Sephiroth*

Vulpecula: "Eyes on the road please!"

Me: *laughs*

Sephiroth concerns me a bit. He actually turns his whole body towards you when you sit down at the desk, and stares at you! It's creepy because his eyes follow you! Not his whole body, just his eyes. You can actually see them move as he follows your movements. I put a pencil up to his tank and he followed it around. Chi followed the pencil as well so I guess that parts not too weird. The staring and eye following is though. LOL! XD

Anyways, I love my two fish! :D
