um bored...?

I slept through my alarm this morning. Well, not exactly. I woke up, listened to it, and went back to sleep. I didn't want to bother. Last night I configured the new Kids Mobile Phone, which Justin has to carry since he's going to the N2worship camp thingy. I. Hate. Touch. Screen. Phones. Also, I don't like stick phones. I really just don't like touch-screens in general, though. They're prone to failure, and really, who needs em? What's wrong with a mouse, or buttons, or a joystick? The touch screen on our oven has given us grief, the 'convection', '3' '2' and 'upper oven light' buttons don't work half the time. Mom's touch screen on her phone doesn't always work. *sigh*. Please, Razr, don't give out on me until I have the money to buy a non-touch-screen flip phone. I'm not looking forward to a hand-me-down palm pre or whatever it is, it's a touch screen, it's a stick, it doesn't reach from my ear to my mouth and it's... flat. I don't like having the phone flat up against my face, I'd rather it curve, like a flip phone. Except for a few minor things, the Razr is still pretty much the perfect phone for me.
but enough of my rambling about phones. As long as that old razr can hold on, I'm good. :)
Moving right along. Mom got me pocky today!

Yay! Anyway, I know I had more to write about, but I forgot. Because my mind is very much in a state of 'meh' right now. er, yes. My day was average, normal... I watched anime, and almost watched more than 6 episodes before I caught myself. whoops.
well, I have gotten distracted looking at phones. *eyeroll* seeya later

Ow, ow.....

Well, today was great- kinda. Oww... my eye itches/stings. Wanna know why? I'll tell you. I poked myself in the eye... with my own pencil. By accident! Oww...... I wasn't thinking...
So today I got up at 7:30 by my iPod, and I went downstairs, and ate a donut and a half. Then went to church, that was good. The sermon was along the lines of how the church is about God, and He's not really what we want Him to be which is why a lot of people get bored of church. Oh yeah, and before church, Bethany showed up and suprised me! Yayyy!!! But, she couldn't stay, she had to go home. I saw Callie from Immerse last year. That was good. I ran into Alli at the last minute before we left to go see Toy Story 3. IT WAS AMAZING!!!!! In my opinion it was better than the first two. And, I was hoping to not join this group but, it made me cry. A little bit. :')
After the movie we were raving (well not raving, but expressing our opinions) about how good it was. [unrelated note: it's hard to type with one eye closed. >:P] I decided that I want to do voices for Pixar as well as anime. :) around then was the time I poked myself in the eye. I had my pencil in my hand and I reached up to put my hair behind my ear or something, and then I felt this... something in my eye and I realized I had poked myself in the eye. Not the part where I see, the white part. I could still see but it felt like i had an eyelash in it and it was watering and stuff so I handed my stuff off and went into the bathroom to look and there was a red dot but it wasn't bleeding, it just looked irritated, but I think i got a small scratch or something cuz it itches when I move my eye around when it's closed. When we got home Dad took a look and said it looked fine and he put some eye drop thing in my eye that made my vision blurry. I looked at it again and it looked better but it still itches. I just now stopped holding it closed cuz it just feels unnatural. I think it's gonna be okay. *sigh* how annoying. Instead of jabbering with my bros about how good the movie was I ended up sitting near the front with my eye closed trying to text bethany about it at the same time and both of my eyes watering (kinda crying from my stupidity and the fact that when you get something in your eye, you cry involuntarily). Anyway.... yeah. soo good/bad day.
I listened to the voices in the commercials and imagined the voice actor who was saying the lines, but when the actual movie came I just enjoyed it. You can tell a voice actor's good when you don't even notice them there. The best ones can use their voice almost invisibly so you only hear what they're saying.(A good example is the VO for discovery channel. Until they pointed him out in mythbusters, I hadn't even noticed.) Unless the character or whatever is SUPPOSED to have an unnatural voice, of course. But enough of my rambling. I hope you don't have to be in one of those guilds to do some voices for Pixar.  I dun wanna join a guild. seems like too much trouble. lol... they sound restrictive and unless you're well known enough, you wouldn't get very many jobs.
Anyway....
today is Jacob and Judah's birthday party. I still have to draw Judah's picture. They brought home some chocolate cake from church plus we have one of those giant cookie things. At the movie I ate popcorn even though I'm not too fond of it because we were GOING to get hot dogs but the theater only had four left. :O (there's ten of us)
We all got giant sodas.... man. I had to go to the bathroom in the middle of the movie so I missed the part where 'They turned Buzz evil. and now they're in jail." At least, that's what Kelsar told me when I asked her to fill me in.
I think this post is long enough, especially since just about NOBODY reads my blog. seeya!

My life is awesome.

I just finished coloring Jacob's birthday picture. His birthday is today. Judah's is tomorrow. How does that happen? haha. I still gotta do Judah's picture, but more time for that one. ;D
Now what's wrong with this picture? Ah, it must be the fact that it's saturday... and it's eleven o'clock... AND I'M ALREADY UP?!? Yes, I got up at nine today. I set my iPod alarm to 'something to say' by what's his name, matthew west. Not a bad song to wake up to. I'm really trying to fix my sleeping habits. but only 8 or 9 hours isn't cutting it for me. During the school year when I have to be up by eight, I'm gonna have to be going to bed at ten at least. O_o I dread. the school year.
Where did the summer go? It's like it's already gone and I haven't really done anything of worth, except NBC's. I'm also suffering from friend-deprivation. I skipped youth group last week, because I had something else that i might have been doing, but it got canceled. As it turns out, we had some people over for dinner anyway, but now I feel like I haven't seen my friends in forever. I have youth group tonight so that should help some, but I still won't have seen Bethalbopper and Emmzy, so I'm still gonna miss them. Until Immerse. BUT I DON'T GET TO SEE PEGGY UNTIL SUMMER'S OVER!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ugh, there's this annoying buzzy sound whenever I type. Like if my typing is making some teensy metal ball vibrate somewhere. Uuurrrrrggghhh.
So Um Yeah. I wish Megavideo didn't have the 72-minutes-at-a-time-unless-you-wait-54-more-minutes deal going on. I mean, I know they want to convince people to sign up, but it's such an inconvenient number. *sigh* I guess that's the point. >.>
We're going to see Toy Story 3 tomorrow, at least that's what we're planning. It's kinda for Jacob and Judah's birthdays. I was gonna make a cake, but our oven's completely out of commission, so I think Mom bought something. Cakes are some of the only things I can make without completely screwing up. XD and that's if they're just flat in the pan, so there's a large flat space for DECORATING!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA :x was that evil cackle out loud? Whoops.
I read James (not the whole thing, but I'm not exactly sure how much) last night. It's got some intense stuff. It's easy to read out loud, though. I like how the Message puts it.
There's glue on my desk.
That was random.
I think this post is aching to be finished.
...
bye.

Progress and happenings

Here I am, blogging from my own computer. Why, you ask? Or rather, why don't you normally? See, my computer is kinda slow. Not extremely such, but YouTube lags. :\ anyway, I usually use my mom's computer. But, after downloading a virus onto it by accident for like what, the THIRD TIME? Dad told me I need to be using my own or he'll take it away. Makes sense, I guess. Well, here I am. I just wish videos didn't lag over here. *sigh*.
Moving on. God is pretty much amazing. He's so cool! He's given me talent, and opportunity, and friends and a personality that is SO ME and SO UNIQUE that it can't even be put into words. I'm seeking to live out who I am (that is, who God made me) and not hide myself or hold myself back. I'm going to pursue my dreams (at the moment, that is to become a voice actor for anime) and trust God to guide me. I'm going for the goal, like Paul wrote about. Even if I have to take some parts of the course slower, finishing is what I'm aiming for. Getting there. To have finished the race is better than running really fast but giving up halfway there. Anyway.... that sounded like I was trying to give an inspirational speech. hee! Main point: God is cool.
Aaalso....  I got two books on Voice Acting yesterday.  Voice Over Voice Actor: what it's like behind the mic by Yuri Lowenthal and Tara Platt, and VO(with some subtitle) by Harlan Hogan. Mom said I needed to take notes, or highlight them and go back through and put my notes on the computer. I opted for highlighting. So the inside of Voice Over Voice Actor is all orangey now (I read the whole thing yesterday and it was great) and I'm about halfway through VO with my blue highlighter. I suspect Bethany would want to borrow them sometime, so I apologize in advance for all the marking, bestie. :D
I made a Gaia online account (I used to have one before, but forgot the password) and I've been on there a little bit. Mainly cuz the avatars are cool, and I'm entered in an art contest. But for the most part, it's not my kinda site. The atmosphere is very PG-13. *sigh*
Neeeeext up, anime. I gotta update on anime!!! Ummm, recently I've been watching Shugo Chara. Miki is awesome! she's blue, she doesn't wear a dress, and she draws. All components of a really awesome character. :D Lesse..... I got Solty Rei from the library. It's okay.. I wish Roy wouldn't cuss so much. :\ *sigh* anyway, I like Solty's outfit and don't like it at the same time. I like the colors, design, and originality but it's kind of awkwardish. And too tight. moving right along. The bastrop library doesn't have that much anime. It has a lot of manga, but it's anime selection consists of things that I have seen, or things that are constantly checked out, or things I'm not interested in, like Death Note, and Bleach. I tried watching Vampire Knight, but it wasn't really my kinda anime. Vampires + fluff doesn't really suit my tastes. The only vampire anime I have watched is Karin. It's..... okay... except for the opening sequence which I hate and ALWAYS skipped. I liked the different take it took on vampires. I mean people still hated them and were scared of them and I still am not a vampire fan but it was obvious that someone put some thought into this and broke stereotypes without completely ruining the whole concept. But enough about that. Karin gets about three stars out of five. Shugo Chara... uh, four out of five. Vampire knight... I'd have to give it two out of five, and Solty Rei, three out of five.
1 being, I really don't like it. 2 being, I'll watch it if I HAVE to. 3 being, meh, it's okay, I don't mind watching it but if there's other options I like better I'll go for those. 4 being, I like it, pretty good! and 5 being: AWESOME SAUCE!!
haha. Otaku here!!! Most anime I watch, I would rate 4 stars. Ouran gets five :))
Think I've talked about anime enough? NEVER. hah. Time for Cosplay stuff! I want to cosplay Miki from Shugo Chara, Cisqua from Elemental Gelade, Haruhi from Ouran High School Host Club, and uh... well, I have a lot of materials for Hinata and hair similar to hers so might as well keep her on the list even though Naruto is WAY over-rated (but I still like the old series, though not shippuden or most of the fillers).
Alright, NOW I'm done with anime. Immerse is in a coupla weeks. woohoo! good times with friends and God. I'm looking forward to it! I can't wait to learn all sorts of stuff and hang out at AHOP and FINALLY see Bethany again. It's been way too long TT.TT
It seems like she's been having a blast at Persist. I wish I could do it next year but I dunno about transportation. That would mean driving into Austin EVERY DAY for several weeks. Anyway...
It was raining pleasantly for a while until it stopped. I dunno when that was but it was sometime while I was on the computer. I have some drawing I should probably do, and some reading, and I'm trying to limit my computer time, so I'd better get off now. This is probably my longest blog post....like ever. Hm. :)
