I have to admit, I haven't been drawing lately. I haven't been writing anything lately (though I have started keeping a journal, but that's just so I can get some use out of my fountain pen in the summer). But I have not abandoned art lately. I've simply swapped out drawing and poetry for knitting and crochet. My question is, do they have a category for that on Deviantart?

I've joined Ravelry recently, so I display my work there. The only problem is, they want all this yarn info and such, but I'm not one to save yarn labels. I take them off, throw them away, and proceed with rolling my new skein of yarn into a ball. Then I knit with it. I've started a blog for knitting, but I procrastinate with it, mainly because I started it to most patterns, but typing out patterns is a pain in the butt. I think perhaps I'll convert my blog to just a day-to-day narration of life, with sporadic knitting stuff thrown in there (that's another problem, I don't take pictures of everything in my life, and therefore have nothing for the blog.)

I think I'll be more active on the Internet now that I have my NEW COMPUTER. Yes, I got a laptop for college (but I'm not telling any of you people where I'm going because, for my safety, I have to assume anyone who'll read my stuff on the Internet wants to kidnap me). It's a Dell Inspiron 1545, and it's AQUA BLUE!!! I have a matching, really pretty logitech wireless mouse and external hard drive. Now, the computer is mine and I can do anything I want with it, so it makes my feel like I have more freedom all of a sudden.

This is the end of another journal entry, for now, after almost two years of inactivity, and hopefully I'll be more active again soon. Goodbye, for now!

I really should be typing my lab for chemistry right now... oh well. I'm going to be up late enough as it is. The two hour practice tomorrow (sp?) will make me just as tired...

Any way, I'm babbling. I do that when I'm really tired. I made some tea to keep me awake, though now that I think about it the caffine willl put me right to sleep. Maybe I made it to make my headache go away, which, in addition to the asprin, is not working. Grr... I hate headaches. It's a good thing my parents are upstairs right now (almost asleep, probobly, like i wish I was), otherwise i would be in a ton of trouble for writing this right now.

i feel like I should be more active, but i don't seem to have time. No, the four AP classes, two honors classes, fall show, swim team, and five gazillion other things have nothing to do with it! You can tell how tired i am... I'm not writing consistantly, and my spelling as atrocious (embodied in that last word).

T_T none of the sugar in my tea got to the bottom of the mug... now my tea is bitter...

You want to know what's weird? The only homwork I had tonight was a worksheet. That's it. Some of you might say, "So what? That's only a little less than usual," or "Just be grateful." But the weird thing is, that this has be the case for about a week. This just makes me suspicious. I mean, when you're taking four AP classes and the rest are honors, you expect some serious homework. Heck, I expected full-blown projects and papers over the four day weekend!
But no. They gave me a standard weekend's amount of homeowork. Normally this wouldn't bother me that much. I would just say, "Cool, I actually get time to go on Gaia tonight. When they dump on me in two days, life will just be back to normal." The problem is, swim team starts in two days. I lose about three hours of homework time. If there was ever a time to lay off on the homework, I would like it to be in about two or three weeks, when the season picks up. Insead, the no-homework thing is going to end right when my homework time gets cut in half.
In short, my teachers are going to ambush me.

I keep getting these notes from people who supposidly love my poetry. Yet, these notes all have one thing in common: they all want me to enter some contest. I mean, if they really loved my poetry, they would comment it and/or favorite it. Guess what? None of my poetry has any comments or favorites. I am pretty sure they are just advritising for these contests.
If you are one of those people who left me one of those notes, and you were sincerely telling me you like my poetry, I'm sorry for the accusation. But the pattern is there.
Also, all these notes say I should go into writing. AS IF!!! Writing is really unstable and you can only make it if you are REALLY talented. Plus, I <3 MATH & SCIENCE!!!! Now everyone is like, if you are so into these hard core things, why are you on this liberal arts site? Answer: these are my hobbies, along with everything else I do. Math and science have definite answers, while everything else is subjective. Yay written in stone!

Well... I have a couple (OK, one...) new drawing to put on here. I think the coloring on it is pretty good around the people, but the background stinks. But it's really late right now and I really don't want to go upstairs, get it, scan it, and upload it right now... I really just want to go to bed....

Oh! Wait! I forgot to mention that the team that I'm swimming on over the summer (yes, I swim compeditivly, and I can't spell), has a record of 8-0!!!! YAY!!! We only have one more really tough meet and another meet that will be an easy win. We won the other tough meet today! We were so happy, we pushed the coach and assistant coaches in the pool, and then jumped in with them! If we can win the tough meet on Monday, we will be undefeated all season and the best in the league!!! YAY!!!!

Considering I'm babbling (I only write long journal entires when I'm tired and it's late at night), I should probobly get to bed... Night

Oh, one more thing. I hate summer projects.
