Random stuff...

Hello again, invisible audience.

The past few weeks have been pretty exciting for me, and seeing as I have nothing better to do, I guess I'll tell you about it. The monotony of my normal life came to an abrupt halt last Friday when my BFF, Flaxblossom had her epic 16th b-day sleepover party. It was a small party, just me, Flax and two other girls, but it was amazingly fun. For her present, I decided to break the trend of comics starring our fursonas and RP characters, so I made a plushie of her fursona. i think it came out quite well, considering it was my first time sewing something from my own pattern.

The excitement didn't end after the party was over, however. My dad picked me up that evening and my family went to Olive Garden, and then we saw that new movie Rango. (epic movie, though it's fairly violent and contains a surprising amount of language...) My dad was going out of town for business and wouldn't be back for two weeks, so we seized the opportunity to spend time as a family. Dad got to drive his shiny new rental car all over town, and I'm pretty sure he was speeding almost the entire time. XD  

Since my dad left, he's been calling every day to check in with us, but it's really not the same as having him around. Suppers are really quiet and the weekends have been pretty lonely. The only thing I don't really miss is being splashed with water in the mornings when I sleep in too late.

Spring has come to Wisconsin! Well...kinda...not really....ok, it's still pretty snowy, but we're getting close! Last week we got a really bizarre snowstorm. There was thunder and lightening at midnight, so of course my mom, my sister and I made a snowman. (Yes, at midnight) He had a gaping mouth, terrified eyes and a sign that read "Spring is coming! The end is near!" The local newspaper came the next morning and took a picture of it. Shortly thereafter, someone stole his sign. > My neighborhood is full of jerks.

On a lighter note, I got accepted into a local charter school, which is a huge answer to prayer. Although being able to attend my online school is a huge blessing, it's not such a good fit for me anymore. It's all deadlines and memorizing facts, and really not much learning at all. Wildlands, the name of the charter school, is a very hands-on project-based school. It's a lot like homeschooling, except it's at a facility with other people and resources. A lot of the work is independent, which is pretty much how I roll. There are also a lot of physical activities at Wildlands like skiing and snowshoeing, which should help me burn off some energy when I need to, so that'll be nice.

Sooo...I think that's all the excitement I've had... Oh wait, there's one thing that hasn't happened yet: My 16th Birthday! I can't believe I forgot about that! So, about that, I'm not sure whether I should be excited or nervous. I still have no idea what to do for a party... I'm thinking I'll have a family party with all my aunts and uncles and cousins, and a friend party with all my Bffs. :3 The only problem is that not all my Bffs like each other.... :/ This could prove to be a problem... Also, one of my newer friends shares a birthweek with me, so we're thinking of combining parties since her family's in the process of moving. We go to the same homeschool choir, so we have a lot of the same friends, which is pretty convenient. I'm thinking that just might work...
