It happened. I was tagged by ~whitelyte. I figured I'd use this time to update my journal. So here we are.

1. Post these rules
2. Each person tagged must post 8 random facts about themselves
3. Tags should write a journal/ blog of these facts
4. At the end of the post 8 more persons are tagged and named
5. Go to their page and leave a comment telling them they're tagged.

1. I skipped a grade. Grade 2 to be specific. But then I kind of canceled that out when I did an extra semester of high school.

2. I can't sleep with anything covering my feet, be it blankets or socks or otherwise. Even when it's minus a billion outside and my window is open. I just get too hot otherwise.

3. Looking back on things, I was an odd little child. I have been raised and weaned on fantasy, probably starting when my dad read me The Hobbit in Grade 1 (I brought in the book to show the class what I was reading at the time) and then The Lord Of The Rings the next year. Although I also read the Narnia books on my own that year (and had a Narnia themed party where everyone had to dress up as a character), and inspired my teacher to read them to my class. A couple of weeks ago I found a short story i had written for a school assignment in Grade 6. It was about "Korach the lizardman". Is that normal? At least it's good to know I haven't changed much.

4. I love winter. Snow is great, and I much prefer cold weather to hot. If given the chance, I would gladly move further north.

5. I consider myself to be somewhat of a history buff. It's always interested me (again adding to the odd child thing), and I love learning about it. Ancient Egypt in particular fascinates me, and I actually know the hieroglyphic alphabet. Have since I was probably about 7 or 8.

6. I hope that someday i will be a crazy old cat lady. I really don't see anything wrong with that.

7. Apparently I have inherited the 'camping Nazi' gene from my mom. I always would get annoyed with her on family camping trips, because everything had to be just so and she would tell us to move/change/reorganize this or that when I thought it was just fine where it was. Then I started taking my friends camping...and luckily they don't mind having me boss them around. Or are just too polite to complain. Or I know better than to actually take their complaints seriously.

8. I am a grammar Nazi as well. I feel the compulsion to edit things that are poorly spelled or worded. It hurts me when I read things like "your on camera" or "were are you". JUST LEARN PROPER ENGLISH. And would it really kill you to spell 'colour' with that 'u'? It looks so much nicer with it...I just wish that my computer wouldn't tell me that I'm wrong for spelling things the Canadian way.

Well that too far much longer than it should have. Bah. Anyway, I'm gonna just tag a bunch of people because I have no idea who's done this and who hasn't. You don't have to do it, but I know that I personally love reading these things.

~Lyn-effacable , ~steponitjean , ~lemonzest , ~niceparabola , ~CatHatGirl , ~CheshireDreams , *SilverWind7 , ~dukespirit , ~laurabeth

And anyone else who really wants to do this.

Well. I realized that it had been over a year since I last updated my journal, and I felt that I should fix that. Not that I really have anything to say. 3 weeks left of high school, then I'm done foreverrrrr. This extra semester has been a bit...frustrating at times. I am just so done with high school that it doesn't matter how little work I do, I just want outta there. The good news is that I've just been doing art, so that ol' portfolio of mine is slowly beginning to take shape.

Speaking of which. I have applied to colleges (not as scary as I thought it'd be). But I need to apply to universities as well. Soon. Since the deadline is January 8th. But they don't matter as much...I mean, who does a fine arts degree really? Now I'm expecting to get hit by some heavy projectiles...

Christmas was fulfilling. I raked in some good loot. Including this sexy, sexy, MacBook I'm typing on at the moment. And Resident Evil 4 + Link's Crossbow Training...so I've been shooting things all day.

I think that's enough trivial details about my life. Bravo to anyone who reads this; you are both patient and wonderful. Let's see if I can spew out some more art with all this time on my hands.

I'm "doing homework" right now...English essays = evil.

This was stolen from =pinaki93, and done because I like procrastinating.

Yeah, so I'm leaving today to go camping with my family for a bit. We'll be back on Friday, so I guess I'll see you all then.

Make some great deviations for me to look at when I get back.
