Wow. My picture 'Ivan's Blood Moon' has 50 favorites on it. Momentous? I think so. It's not even that great of a picture... But I have to give a big thanks to everyone for supporting me! :3 Hopefully I can get back into drawing, I haven't had time for it lately, so my style sort of... mutated. I've been writing more. But seriously, thanks you guys! *gives a big hug*

Wow, my first journal entry in almost... 2 months? Jeez...

Anywho, like the title says, I'm alive. Since marching band ended yesterday(and hopefully my computer will be fixed soon), I'll be talking to you guys a lot more, and maybe have some time to draw! :3 You'll probably see a lot of photos from me too, I'm trying my hand at photography.
Yesterday was state competitions for marching band, and we got a one(the highest rating)! I was actually a little surprised, my performance wasn't very good. It was really cold and windy, and those conditions aren't good for brass players. But now that it's all said and done, I have my life back from band. Until basketball season starts, at least. D:
Homework is still killing me, and my English teacher is a really hard grader! I was one of three people who got an 'A' on a final book review for our chosen book(I read 'Crime and Punishment', and loved it). I forgot my thesis statement, but she said that my paper was really well written so she was giving me an A anyway. *sweats* Close call there. History is still giving me problems with the work load, but with the extra time now that band is over, I can keep up with it. Hopefully.

Yeah, sorry about all of the photos, I wanted to put them up before the local fair. I have 5 entries to it, and I have most of them done. Please give my amature photography skills a look! =3

Other than that, nothing much else is going on. School starts in a few weeks, (I still have to do my summer work), band is going pretty well, and my computer is STILL dead. DX Lets hope that my friend can fix it... Yep.

I got to go on my first drive with an instructor today. Only problem? It rained the entire time. And I'm not talking a sprinkle. I'm talking a full-blown downpour here. They told me that it was 35 mph the whole way, but NO. It was 55. So, I was driving on 55 mph narrow country roads that had 'rock slide' signs every couple feet while it was thundering and lightening and raining so hard that I couldn't see at all. Plus the occasional deer that decided to run in front of me. And stupid other drivers. And Amish buggies. D:

I actually ran over a dead possum, and it POPPED. Seriously, the most disgusting sound that I have ever heard. My instructor said that there was probably a rib or two stuck in the tire now and that I was going to fix it. THEN, a freaking traffic cone rolled out in front of me. It wasn't a little one, it was one of the tall cylindrical ones. It ended up stuck under the guy in front of me's front wheels. D:

The instructor and I ended up talking about sweet corn and mystical wells in Vermont. Go figure.

Band camp is next week, so won't be on much, if at all. I'm working on the art that I have to do for the fair, and then for all of you who I owe art to. :3

Yup, band starts next week! Now I actually have something to do! X3 I like the new show, but the music is a little repetitive, and my part is reeeally boring. Like, a 6th grader could probably play it. D:

the 4th of July went well, I had a cookout with my family and saw fireworks with a bunch of my friends. They were a lot shorter than usual, so that was a little bit of a let down... But they were still awesome! Who doesn't like colorful explosions, really?

To those of you that I owe art to, it might be awhile. I still can't scan anything, and Photoshop seems to have disappeared. Sorry...

On another note, I need to start my summer work for AP History... It's a really big packet, but most of it is reading, so it's not that bad.

Tell me how you guys are doing! :3

OH! And I'm featuring my sister, the lovely ! :3
