Starting Point: Chewy Pudding

Dang, I keep putting this off.

Since June 12th, I have:

for the most part, stayed home, by myself.

done tons of chores.

eaten tons of spaghettios.

had a wierd sleep schedual that would make me wake up in between 3 and 4, and only have a few hours of sleep. I'm starting to sleep more now, though. But I'm still getting up pretty early.

gotten my report card. My mom was really angry that I have a 2.6 unweighted GPA (3.1 weighted). a 2.6 is what, the lowest possible B you can get? I mean yeah, I probably should work on bringing it up to at least a 3.0 (I'm guessing that's about an 85% B), but a 2.6 (80% B?) isn't worth the outrage she was in.

missed out on senior pictures. The school didn't send me anything to go, so I guess I just won't be in the year book. Bummout.

went to the mall with my mom twice. The first ended in a failed attempt to get a new phone after spending an hour and a half at the kiosk and some pretty good manicotti at Olive Garden. The second, I finally got a phone. It's pretty amazing. We also checked out Lenscrafters, which was pretty cool, too. Might get some new purple frames for the new school year. Afterwards, we went to Panera and they have a pretty good Strawberry Poppyseed salad. No chicken. Yay!

had a lot of weird dreams about the same person. After not having dreams in a year or two, I'm a bit suspicious that God's trying to tell me something.

been listening to the extremely loud construction. The addition is going along fine, but I can't use any electrical appliance when the carpenters are using the power saw; keeps blowing the fuse.

decided on the layout of my many back tattoos. I still want a really big gnarly and dead tree, representing the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; as well as a light and dark coloured bear on either side of the tree at the base, all dueling-like, that represet good and evil, as well as the two people who have influenced my life the most (one in a positive way and one in a negative way) because they both have/had the nickname of "bear"; and now I want two sparrows above the tree, one on each shoulder, holding a banner that has Genisis 2:17 on it ("but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die."; NIV version, I'm not sure if I want to get the old King James version instead). I'm expecting it to be pretty amazing.

had surprisingly amazing hygene skills for someone who does not step foot out of the house for days at a time.

figured out a lot about myself. I seem to be learning more and more about who I am, and who I used to be, all the time.

worked on Kathleen's birthday gift, even though her birthday was on the 7th. It's still not done - I haven't made/gotten things to put inside it. Though, it did take forever to make this one part. I sewed the zippy part of a plasic bag to the top of it!

took several pictures for self portrait Tuesday at sunrise last Tuesday. I chose the first, Zach chose the second. I need to take some for today as well.
