This is Harder Than I Thought... (Blogging and The Plague)

I apologize for my absence.

FIRST: My whole family got ridiculously ill with what I like to refer to as The Black Plague of 2012. We were all coughing (actually, we're still coughing), moaning, and running really high fevers. Everyone except my dad.
Luckily, that's all over, and we're pretty much ok now.

SECOND: I also haven't been posting because of the internal chaos over at Starlit Castle. If you don't know what that is, (firstly SHAME!) go check it out, because it's a bunch of teenaged girls who (in theory) write stories, poems, songs, and whatnot. Also Potato is part of it, and she's my awesome funny best friend.

This internal chaos is relatively simple: I am herding cats.

I like all of these people, and I am in charge of making sure they stick to schedules, don't make too many tags (note: guys, stop making so many tags), making announcements, and I still have to keep up with my own posts.
So being a nice person, I really don't want to yell at my friends to do what they're supposed to. But it just makes me infuriated when they don't.

On a lighter and less frustrated note, I think I designed a banner for this here blog on a Starbucks napkin, and will get that all set up as soon as i can find it.

5-15 : TRIPLE AWESOME!

Firstly, it's only five days till my birthday. SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!


Secondly, I no longer feel like this:

now I just feel like this:

But the most awesome of all is (drumroll pleaase....) MY AUNT LITERALLY WALKED IN THE DOOR LIKE A MINUTE AGO!!

Yay! I'm super excited to see her (and she's staying through aforementioned birthday)

She lives on the other side of the country, so we don't see her very often.

If you don't mind, I really need to go hug my aunt some more.

7-15: One week and a box of kleenex

i'm sick.
I caught some gross bug from Jayne, and this means I don't get to go ice skating with my girl scout troop, and Jayne still gets to go, because she's feeling way better than I am.

At first i was really angry, and demanded pie and tv. Now I'm just pathetically internetting (that needs to be a word) with my kleenex box in my 49ers PJ pants and my sparkly Sagittarius shirt. Ok I'm still really angry, it just makes my throat hurt more to yell about unimportant things.

Now I'm going to upload some photos FYE and go watch Mythbusters and eat pie. Because that's what I do when I feel pathetic: watch *bleeeeeeep* explode.

my kleenex while i write. you can see blogger behind it.

we had an eclipse! i didn't get any good pics of the eclipse part, because 12x zoom doen't get you much closer to the moon, but this is my favorite picture of the full moon before it started.

a Sims3 wolf running. with butterflies.

2 sims kissing, but she was making really weird lips so i took a picture
