back from NC

well i got back from north carolina tuesday at 4.30 in the morning. well we all had a pretty good time i think. the first day we went to the nantahala outdoor center where we got to ride the rapids down the natahala river, that was a good three hour trip. no but really it was fun, the rapids werent what you see advertised, but still it was rough in a few places. the only time we all fell, i mean jumped out, was on the very last section of rapids. and the water was about 50 degrees. boy it was cold. the next day we went to the smokey mountain national park. we hiked to the devil's chimney. WAY too high for me. not the hike, about two miles, but the height on top was about 50 ft shy of a mile high. on the way out of the park we got to see two elk. the first was a bull and he was just grazing in a meadow. that was really cool. he had a huge set of antlers and they were still growing (in velvet). we watched him for about 15 minutes, then left. about two minutes down the road, we saw a female and she was running towards the road but stopped. we just passed her since she was so close and kinda spooked already. well thats basically all we did. catch ya later

piercing, as in a new one

yep thats right, i finaly did it. silver hoop with a aball in the left cartilege about 3/4 of the way up. i was so nervous. but it only hurt when she poked me with the needle, before it broke the skin. i didnt even feel it go through. ewww that sounds gross. the 'how to care for your piercing' paper says it can take 6 to 12 months to heal! thats a really long time for something to heal. hahahaha im laughing at myself now. cause my dad said nothing until i asked and hes just glad its not a tattoo. for now. lol. mother said she is fine with it, but they were both shocked to see that i did it.

so how shocked are you?

registering

since i have been 18 for almost a year now, i thought i should probably register to vote. but i didnt want to take on a views that i didnt agree with. so i decided to do some research for myself.

first i looked into the Green Party. while there were a lot of things i liked, such as conservation of the oceans. but there were many things that i dont agree with, and those seem to be out weigh the good things. these included pro-choice and gay marriage. both are unbiblical, so no green party for me.

Next i decided to look into the Republican party. as far as education goes (kinda important as far since i am going to be a teacher and all) standardized test suck. all teachers teach to is FCAT, and dont have time for what they are supposed to be teaching. High schools are esp. held accountable for students who are reading and learning below grade level. i think that this problem should be addressed before highschool. and they promote, AP and IB programs which is awesome. the elephants support faith based programs such as a mentoring program for children of prisoners. they are also looking to reduce americas dependence of foreign oil, as well as looking for alternative sources of energy. and YAY! for homeland security and supporting our Military families. Support our Troops! Sounds good to me so far, nothing that i disagree with. oh yeah pro-life and oppose stem cell research.

Democrats the anti-republicans. gee lets see, pro-choice, support stem-cell research. 'nough said, not for me. oh yeah and they dont support the war. now im not pro-war, but with no draft in effect, these BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN are giving there time and even lives to serve the USA. i say even if your not pro-war, we should still support our soliders.

Well it looks like im going to be a Republican. if you have any other information on any of these or other parties, let me know. but give a source for your information. i used the Offical websites for the above parties.

excited about art

not much is going on. i got some new sharpies the today at like 2.30 am. post-midnight runs to walmart are always interesting. i got the new sharpies cause i dont know how much longer my old set will last. but wait theres more! i went from a 12 color ultra fine point set to a 24 color set with two sizes ultra fine point and regular sharpie size. im excited. also i decided to retire my sketchbook, but only after i finish one last peice in it. i started on it about a week ago, and i got artist's cramp. i just dont know how to finish it. so im open for suggestions. ill try to atleast get a link on here if i cant get a picture of it. oh yes as i was saying, im retiring my sketch book because it was a high school sketch book, and i think that i should get a new one for starting college, even if i didnt fill in all the pages. so now im also excited about getting a new sketchbook. Yay! and im also excited about the collaberative sketchbook linnie started. so far the only ones who will be working in it are me linnie and linzi, but hopefully the group will grow. yay! i cant wait until its my turn to work on it! i wonder what they will put in it? i wonder what i am going to put into it? oh well i guess we'll see what inspires me then.
chow for now

a step in the right direction

Today i went, as planned, to go get my check. i planned on turning in my two week notice/quitting. when i got there she was on the phone with someone and it was a rather heated discussion. She was flustered when it was my turn to speak. But all that i could muster out was that my orientation was on the 3rd and 4th of aughust and i would get my schedule then and that i didnt know how work would play into it. she just said, almost snapped, 'we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.' i took my check and left it at that.

so i am still 'employed' as ever for whatever you want to call it. its not where i wanted to end up at, but atleast its a step in the right direction.

first

a hehehe first blogspot blog. lol. ill get the hang of it eventually.
