offeeshal new year's resolutions
(x-posted from my LJ just because I thought all of you here might like to know :D)

After a little bit of crunching numbers, I have planned out some new short term goals for myself, which, for this time of year will be considered resolutions. The best part of these is that doing one will make me do the other. mwahyes, I am a GENIUS, uhrhurhur >D

DA PLAN!

+ Starting with about half of my Christmas money this year, save $500 by March. I'm letting myself keep a little less than 30% of my allowance for spending, so at least I won't be completely poor and have to tap into my savings. If all goes well, I won't see this money again until July. ^__^

+ If I keep saving in this manner until May, I could get myself something really cool for my birthday (because it seems I always get everything for myself anyway.. woo independent! XP)

+ Okay, here's where the genius part comes. If I am to be saving, that means I can't be buying myself all the junky food I keep getting at school (twix bars, soda pop, coffees; curse you, tiger den!) but this is GOOD because I should be eating healthier anyway, PARTICULARLY the very nice lunches my mother makes me (I mean, she doesn't have to be making me anything, I'm a bad daughter ><) And I'm sure that'll compensate for nothing but all the holiday food that has stuffing my sound hole full for the past two weeks. aaahhh that's no good!! XPPP not because of weight gain or anything (OH NOEZ IF I EAT TOO MUCH I WIL B SO FAT!!111!) but because all the rich food gives me nightmares and makes me wake up in the middle of the night. I NEED MY SLEEP *scary bloodshot face*

+ And one irrelevent to above plans, but still a goal a have every year ongoing: GETTING BETTER AT MY DRAWING AND NEVER STOP PRACTISING. Right now especially fooling around with eyes, hair, and FOLDS IN CLOTHING *hates it so much* AND COLORING TOO BECAUSE I SUCK. I want to be reeeeeeeally good *___* Probably the whole underlying goal for this is to just be faster. I'm much more than I was last year and this year I want to do better ><

Yay for goals! *is totally pumped up* Wish me luck, all! :D

not alien sex!!1 :O
Hope everyone is enjoying their winter holiday so far ^^

I've been home from California for a few days now, and since then, as a result of buying myself Invader Zim dvds for Christmas (MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ME, HAHA I'M SUCH A LOSER) I've been rekindling the small flame that was my IZ obession in 8th grade (ahhhh why did I ever leave it? It's such a great showwwww~~)

I've been doodling the characters off and on, which has been difficult, particularly since I haven't attempted irkens before (see exhibit a: teh suck Zim sans source) I want to get good at them though so I can draw lots of Red and Purple~ <333 (they're my favorites, if you can't tell, ufufufu XP) Regan thinks I should make a Red/Purple doujinshi (OTP!!1! but no alien smexin' I promise!! XPPP) I also found Tallest Miyuki quotes, which makes me want to draw her too *tallest whore* ^___^

I've also been finding plenty of fanfics as well.. I knew that people slashed Dib and Zim all the time (??!1) but I never read any fics before (mainly because it squicks the heck outta me) but last night I did just for shits. GAHA IT'S SO HILARIOUS AND DISTURBING, ESPECIALLY THE ONES WHERE THEY FALL IN LUB!!!11! <3 XDDD Still not my cup of tea of course.. but the other reason I couldn't finish it any was because I was laughing too hard (omg naive virgin!Zim...) However, are some good R/P ficcers (which IS my cup of tea, whoooooo!!), including one where Red assasinates Purple~ uuu it's so sad ;____; *weepu* I love that whole love/hate dynamic :D

...

Omigawsh, why am I so weird?? XD

In any case all this should keep me entertained until July 16th when HARRY POTTER SIX IS PUBLISHED, WAHOOOOO~!! >3<

/end pointless fangirling

FYI...
In case anyone here didn't know, Skyler's memorial service will be on Sunday, 19 December at 11 am at Cataldo Hall on the GU Campus. It is to be an open mike service for anyone who would like to share their memories.

Unfortunately I'm going to be out of town then, but I'll be there in spirit! Please tell me how it goes. ^^

ufufufu
Hey look! Elizabeth has a woohu account! Um... woo hoo! XD

Thank you Brooke for the invite code!

Just as a warning, I really won't be using this thing all that much, since I have my beloved livejournal instead, but I thought I could use it to keep up with buddies here.. so I don't have to post annoymously anymore (and forget to sign my name, which I've done five kajillion times, ufufufufu~~ :P)

Lauren, Amelia, Alex, Brooke? Would you mind terribly acquainting me with your dear friends? I'd like to meet them ^^ (and I need friends *is bricked*)

Tally-ho..!
