meitantei_cjEmma: *makeup* See you!
Me: Okay!
Emma: *walks out... comes back*
Me: ...?
Emma: *makeup... walks out... comes BACK*
Me: ... *eye roll*
Emma: *MAKEUP. walks out*
HONESTLY! Slap me if I ever get started. Please. I know most of you are too far away for that. Kirsten, I think you're closest. I'll give you directions. Come find me and slap me. -_-;
ANYWAY. I didn't open Semagic for that. (Well, I kinda did just this moment, but I was going to open it for another matter entirely.)
The time spent at Grace's was AWESOME. She's such a cool woman, and her partner's nice, too. And there was this really cute five-year-old kid, Braxton, and more animals than I could count. Like 20-something ducks, some chickens, a rabbit in a hutch (maybe more than one, I didn't go check), three horses, five cats (though I only saw two today--one was loving as hell and the other was like, "Who the hell are you? Whatever, I'm going back to sleep." XD;;), and a golden retriever named Sammy that kept butting people's hands like "YO. Rub me. :D" and staring up at them if they stopped rubbing him. He was SO happy we were all there; he got so much attention. XD We played kickball (well, I didn't--and I got no opposition from Grace, meaning that iether we were lied to about how insistent she is that we all play, or she could tell I was older and didn't push it), ate delicious food, toured her house/barn (which is pretty cool, actually), and most of us shared something about ourselves. (We ran out of time before everyone could get their turn.) I shared this, which is the thing I drew/colored one or two nights ago, and everyone was all impressed by it... including Emi, which amazed me, because her artwork's so much nicer than mine. I have been accepted by my peers. ^^ Boot told me I need to come to her room sometime; she's always playing video games. I told her I didn't bring any systems because I worried I'd play them too much and not get any studying done. If I'd wanted to bring something, I totally could've--Mom and Dad would've gotten me a small TV, or I could've used an HDMI cable, because this laptop does have a slot for it. All I have is the DS. Of course, that'll be fine. Professor Layton and the Last Specter is coming out next week.
But yeah, fun time, really enjoyed it. They do this at the beginning and end of the year. Definitely looking foward to visiting Grace again and seeing her on campus. I've taken all my communications classes, so maybe not... but if I see she's teaching something and I'm interested, I might try to take something. She's awesome.
The vessel... ahahaha, the hard part is NOT going to be the top. The hard part is the tapering in. There's one thing I forgot to consider, and that is that, rather than having the coils come up and out like they have been, they're now moving up and inward. This means having to be VERY careful, for balance's sake. If I move too quickly, or the walls are too thin, CATASTROPHE. I've built it up to the point that I'm starting to come in, and I stopped, because hell no am I going to have to do it over. I'm going to go back in there tomorrow after my classes, before IA at 4pm, and hopefully it'll be pretty sturdy and I can continue to work. I'll ask Bethany about it, too. I'm sure she can give me pointers. I'll just have to take it slowly and carefully.
Meanwhile, my base is getting dried out enough that it's starting to change color. I'm going to rub some water on it tomorrow and try to keep a little moisture in it. It still needs a bit of work, specifically at the bottom.
I'm makin' a grilled cheese sandwich. Desire to eat, but it's already after 10:30.
