To say the least, I have been busy. School finally got out so now I have some more free time on my hands when I am not working.

I had my wisdom teeth removed Monday morning. I am glad that went well. I was pretty drugged up so I have no recollection between being gassed and waking up in the car with a swollen mouth. No memories. None at all. It's kind cool.
Except I have a random bandaid on my back that I have no idea what it was for or who put it there O.o Other than that now I just take my meds and wait to heal and fully recover. Unfortunately the worst of the swelling and pain is scheduled for Thursday which interferes with my plans for going to PortCon I still plan on going for one day with some people but if I'm as drugged up then as I am now it probably would not be in my best interest to attend. Either way I hope to make it either Friday or saturday and meet up with some friends.
I checked the registration list ( which makes one feel a bit like a creeper even though it is informative) and saw a few names I knew. So with any luck I'll at least get to go one day. I think next year I'll plan with more people and ge things set out in advanced.

In other news I have a video job alongside working with my dad. I got my tablet fixed and have been drawing more recently and I have several short films I'm working on this summer. Keep an eye out on the net for some cool new stuff and I'll see you next time.

Cheers.

The chill is beginning to set into the air. Soccer is in full swing and my metabolism is peaking that hill that will run until next June.
Amid soccer games, conditioning, school work and theater starting up, comes homecoming week.

Each year every class is assigned a rival team of another school. We incorporate their mascot, build a float with a theme around said mascot
and then a parade is held through town. After the parade is a pep rally and then a huge bonfire in wich we burn an effigy of the rival mascots.

This being my junior year and third go at homecoming week I've got the routine down.  Our float is almost finished and the games have begun.

This year my class got the Dexter tigers as the mascot. After a brief debate we decided to go with a circus themed float.
Usually we have so many unattainable plans and things that never work out. Well this year was different. It being a circus theme
and the mascot being a tiger, one of the field hockey players ( she usually takes the leader position in everything) decided we needed a clown and a tiger.
So they rented a clown costume and a tiger suit.

Any of you that know me probably know that I'm pretty shameless. (ie cross dress day this past summer at UMO) . And I'm pretty energetic and out going.
Well the first day of float building alot of my class mates were thinking of who would make a good tiger. Naturally the majority (to my pleasant surprise) felt
I would be a good candidate.  I agreed to do it not really expecting the plans to go through but thought it would be cool if they did.

This evening to my surprise I arrived at the float building to find a tiger suit.
So wish me luck Thursday evening!

Because tonight, I'm a tiger

Greetings. It's your usual nocturnal entity currently typing at 130 am.
The usual ungodly witching hours, the same slightly crazy, hopefully interesting
banter being directed at your eyeballs. Yup. It's me again.

I won't bore you with months of updates. Just submissions and this journal ^^

SO this past weekend while at Upward Bound at UMO my junior class went camping.
We camped near bar harbor for 2 nights and went shopping in bar harbor.
I had a grand old time. I also bught my self a training ninja sword.
Nice solid black polypropylene It's simply awesome. $35 bucks at an
awesome store called Jekyll and Hyde's.  I made a stand out of duct tape and
cardboard for it and it came out great. ( see upload) So now this wonderful piece
adorns my dorm wall.....and occasionally falls off and hits people sitting on my bed lol.
Either way its cool and I'm glad I got it.

SO this week is the crazy awesome week at Upward Bound. Monday was spirit day.
Tuesday is cross dress day ( I knew my hair would come in handy!) Wednesday is
section theme day (i think) and Thursday is character day. Naturally the whole thing
is my cup of tea. I get to dress up for once and not be looked at weird.
Not that I mind in the first place but its more fun to do with others. So that's what the
sword is for. Character day. I'm thinking anime or something. I want to find a cool character.
I've been hoarding aluminum foil and cardboard so I could be a knight or samurai or something.
I also have my ninja outfit, my Merlin robe and a lab coat. I'm still contemplating to tell the truth.
And I absolutely can't wait. Though I was disappointed I couldn't get things I wanted. A walmart run
would have been nice to flesh things out more

Tomorrow is cross dress day. I borrowed a dress and leggings as well as a shoulder bag. With my hair
down from the back apparently I look alot like a woman. I will have fun with this. the only thing awkward about it
is the other camps sharing the dining hall with UB. For the most part I don't give a shit but I did see this girl I liked.
Anywho doesn't matter. I'm going to have fun I also get to experience how cool it is to be able to store stuff in your bra.
*blushes* Its kinda cool and I'm glad were all doing it.

SO those are the highlights of the week. Just me being me. As usual ^^

Again its on the late side. What can I say? I'm nocturnal ^^ !

So about a week ago I finally got a Wacom tablet! A Wacom Bamboo pen and touch. I've wanted one for almost 2 years now and I had the money ( and a $25 Staples gift card) so the time was right.
So far I love it. Once I got the drivers installed and every thing configured to my liking that is. Thats really about the only new or exciting thing thats happened.

Other than that apparently I have become renowned at my school for being the "Tech Head" or "electronics master".
I constantly have people coming up to me asking to fix stuff, What part to buy or If I could look at there computer. I can't say I'm complaining
I hope to start my electronics repair business in april after I finish learning some more and gaining more experience. So far Ipod Touches seem to be the main offender in technology.
Broken screens, liquid damage and I even had one that I opened up to find the dock port scorched, sorta melted and the home button crispy black. So Ipods are a constant customer, unfortunately I can't always fix them

My hope is to make some money off of this to save up for a new computer and a professional video camera or high end DSLR. My main interest being video. Either way things are looking up.
I still can't post most of my stuff since dA is blocked at school and home upload speeds range at about 2 kilobits per second. It sucks but I post when I can

I also am looking forward to uploading some drawings from my tablet now that everything is automatically digitized. I'm never much of one for showing my drawings
but some people ask me for them alot and like them so ok.

I guess thats about it. I was sick for a week before february break so I had an extra week off. first time I've missed school in about 6 years. It sucked, but I was lucky enough to make decent
recovery and we didn't have too much homework.

Thats all for now,
