I went with my Mom to Mount Pleasant tonight to go see an elderly lady who needed some help. It was nice to help the lady out. Her name was Mable and she's going to be 97 tomorrow, I'm amazed! I can't help to be sad when thinking about elderly people that old. She was telling me about her husband which she said was the Best Man in the World because he wouldn't let her work and stuff like that. I was like awww...her daughter apparently had died a few years ago to cancer and shes still kind of grieving for her. She said that she writes poems and stories which is how she started to tell me about when her one and only daughter was born and how she had caught some kind of baby fever that had killed two of her neighbors from having their babies and how she had prayed to God to let her live to raise her child. She had felt his presence in the same room and she had known that he was there and had answered her prayers, I was so touched. While all this happened Mom heated her up some stew and we chatted to her while she ate. Mom helped get her cleaned up and then we tucked her into bed. She had thanked Mom for coming which was heart-warming but also sad at the same time. Not that we did a good deed for her but that some people take it for granted and figure that she shouldn't be well taken care of because she's old.
Anyways we came home and I went upstairs to my room where I had left Jack. He didn't make a peep when I walked into my room and so I figured that he was probably asleep. I walked over to his cage and whispered his name, still not a peep. I kneel down and look in and see no Jack. I look around and noticed that the latch on the place that you stick the food bowl was open, I had forgotten to make sure it was latched from earlier and he had gotten out. I started calling out his name thinking maybe he would make some kind of noise or start moving around. My worst thoughts were that he could be anywhere since I left my door wide open and he knows how to climb stuff and go down the stairs. I walked towards my door and there he was sitting on top of my dresser next to my Tv. He looked pretty freaked out and his feathers were a bit roughed up. I figured he probably climbed up the cords of my Tv or lava lamps and got onto the dresser. He was so cute but I'm so glad that he's ok, scared me! I feel kind of bad too because all day I was pissy with him for being annoying and plain just not being quiet! I gave him plenty of kisses though haha!

Well dang, hasn't it been forever since I've updated this.. I seem to say that every time but oh well. Valentine's Day is just around the corner and I just sent Dad pictures from the last few trips we went on (Mackinaw, Ludington, Indiana, and some of my car). I felt kind of bad because I talked to him like last week and he wanted to know where the pictures of my car were! It's been like 6 months since I first got my car? Oops. Anyhow.. not much has happened that is interesting since New Years. With the mix of boredom in all that nothingness I've been feeling kind of crappy lately. I feel as though I have all this art stuff yet I haven't used any of it really. With my tablet I haven't drawn anything that is of use and I don't know how to color stuff with it. And with my colored pencils I don't know what to draw so that doesn't help at all. I tried drawing a horse today and I felt pretty good about it until I looked at the completed horse on the next page of the book I was following. Ended up erasing all of it which probably wasn't the right thing to do but ugh I'm just so frustrated. On top of it Jack wouldn't shut up so finally I grabbed him out of his cage and took him downstairs to squawk. Mom wanted to know what was wrong and it's pretty much everything! Practice makes perfect I know but I'm just really frustrated, I hope I don't sound like a whinny emo kid or something. Oh and what I've been doing before today (trying to draw since semester ended) was playing Diablo II and Guild Wars. Why the sudden change? Well I was kind of motivated to draw by who knows what but I really wanted to draw and basically no one plays those games anymore so I'm all by myself. Here we go with the emo-ness again... but I'm serious.. have you ever played a game for a month or more and have no one really to do anything with on it? Tell me you don't get bored. I'm looking very forward to graduation, I hope that going to college and picking my own classes/more variety classes that I can expand my art abilities and I don't put myself down as much.
And as a side note, the weather is warming up which is a pleasent feeling. Although on Sunday the lovely iceicles on the house got all toasty and decided to fall off the ledge, slide down the roof and then onto my car. Now there's a dent about the size of my palm and a smaller one next to it near my right tailight, joy! It seems that Maple just loves getting damaged. Also Manda got the lead role in a play called, "Once upon a Mattress" aka The Princess and the Pea. But yeah, Mom said that we might be able to go and see her perform, which will be nice!
Mood: Downcast, Frustrated, Annoyed
Reading: Left Behind Series - book 1
Drinking: Nothing

Wishing: That she could get her artwork to look as good as it does in her head.
