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

There are so many things that are annoying around the holidays, but I'll only name a few recent ones. A big thing that I'm sure almost everyone would agree with, driving in snow is a pain in the butt! I've fish-tailed, skidded, got stuck, and just plain sick of scraping snow/ice off my windows. Now you ask if when I'm old enough to move out if I'm going to move out of the snowy-winter states, well no because I like the change of seasons. It sort of doesn't make sense but that is alright.
Another recent annoyance is at the Library. Certain patrons feel the need to come into the library and try to fool us with their lies because they did something wrong and wont admit to it. In one instance a patron brought in a book that was two years overdue that had a broken hardcover. We had told them that we wont accept it because it is broken. They persisted that two years ago we had checked it out to them like that, which we wouldn't have since it was in that bad of a condition. In a result they got all mad and hadn't talked very nice to us thus getting themselves banned from using the Library until they make a settlement.
Also another patron came in and owed some money for a DVD that was overdue. If you're late on a DVD it is $1/per day. Well they paid for the charge but wondered when the DVD was due because they said they brought it back on time and that they wanted a receipt. Well I had already cleared it because they paid for it and so I had no way of looking up when they brought it back. So I told them that and they were like, "So there is no way for you to look it up?" well..that is what I had JUST said.. they were like well other libraries can do it. Ok well we aren't other libraries thanks...if you want to compare us to other libraries in a negative way then why don't you just go to the other libraries. So I gave them a receipt and they stood there like they wanted their money back. Obviously they didn't bring the DVD back on time because we also give a one days grace so it would have to of been overdue for four days in order to have charged $3. Ended up just giving them money back when they insisted that they didn't care about paying the fine, well obviously they did because they went to the full extent to explain that they work a low paying minimum wage job. By then I about had it with their stupid why this why that and didn't really care. It isn't my fault that they work a low paying job. So they took back $2 and gave us $1, you know a whole $2 makes a difference.
Oh then another time I was checking On Order slips for Brian and I had just checked the book drop and got a couple books that people had put on hold. Well there was a slip for a book that I had just got a hold for and so I told Brian. He said that the person seen the book that I had in my hand and didn't want it because it was a 3-in-1 book, that they wanted just the stand-alone version. My first thought was well if you want the stand-alone book go buy it your fricken self. There is no reason to buy a stand-alone book when we have a 3-in-1 book with the next two books in the series. And if you don't want to read the next two books in the series then just read the one and return it, simple as that. The stand-alone book was $17.50, which that money could be put towards buying other books in that series instead of wasting it on another copy of a book we already have. It is so aggrivating how people are so stupid towards things like that.

Today I was on my way to school and I was going my normal way I go to school really slow because of all the snow.. well I got to one of the stops that is sort of on a incline and there were cars coming but they were a ways away. So I tried to go but I was going super slow so I decided to wait. Well a truck pulled up behind me and I was like well ok..so the cars passed and I took my foot off the brake.. well I started sliding backwards! and I was like oh my gosh!!! So I put the brake back on.. then looked to see if I put my car in reverse, but I didn't.. was like hmm ok. I quickly tried to go forward again but I was stuck and wouldn't move so I tried moving my wheel around to see if I could get some traction or something. Meanwhile there was this kid wanting to cross the street ahead of me I'm like crap I hope he doesn't cross because my foot was pretty much down the floor on the gas (not really because that would be super dangerous but it was way down lol). But if I got traction and go 60mph I'm going to hit him and he'll die >.<..the guy behind me was probably like what a retard!!! haha...
