So, I want to change my hairstyle. I just never know what to do because honestly I suck at finding hair styles. :|
Where's my soaps?
So I found a new apartment! I'll be moving in August 1st. I signed the lease today and payed the 950 dollar security deposit. Rent is only going to be 850 dollars a month. It's a 2-bedroom apartment with a big kitchen, a separate living room, and a tiny bathroom. Haha. I'll have my own back door/porchy type thing and apparently my room is the only room that has that. There's apparently only about 18 other tenants in the place so it's pretty small compared to 5 Lyon. It's only 3 stories, I'm on the ground floor obviously. The building is called the Half Century Apartments on 16 Jefferson, really close to Kendall, and my room is #3~ Uhh what else? Oh yeah! The building is a historic building and has one an award from the city! :) It's really nice and has a lot of personality~~ Mom said I can have the big bed from the guest bedroom. When it gets warmer out and garage sales start coming out I'm going to be a hawk and scourge places for cheap furniture. I really want a sofa and a some kind of lounge chair? Or a chaise (dream on...)
It's across the street from a cafe/catering place where I'm pretty sure all the workers there are gay men. There's also a coffee house one building to the left called Discussions. And a Chinese buffet is across the street, but I went there with Adam once and it made me sick. Like most Chinese food.
I'm pretty excited, but I'm also pretty nervous.

That's a link to photos of the type of apartment I'd have. Mine will be carpeted and not wooden floor, however.
Also, I really hope I can get a job at the Yellow Cab in Ann Arbor this summer. It'd make things a lot easier. :( And fun!
I really want moneyyyy.
Next year I'm going to try and work during the school year. I don't know though, I'm so swamped even now without a job. :( Sometimes I just get so stressed out from school. I can't wait for summer.

I don't like sitting in the house all day watching others play video games/playing video games/ watching videos online about video games/ watching videos online/ watching movies all day and night.
I don't like playing sports.
I don't like Jesus.
I don't like to get drunk.
I don't like to get high.
I don't like sitting outside in the fucking snow just so I can smoke a cigarette and talk about superficial bullshit.
I don't like having sex with everyone.
I don't like going to parties just to be seen or get drunk, take drugs or have sex.
I don't fit in with anyone I guess. I don't fit in with the "alternative" folks because I'm too square. I don't fit in with the "normal" people people I scare them. I don't fit in with the nerds and losers because they bore me. I don't fit in with artists because I hate them. I don't fit in with musicians because they're assholes. I don't fit in with fucking human beings.
So today I woke up at 2, watched videos of cute pet rats on youtube with Will in bed, found out rats can swim through the sewer system and up in your toilet bowl (and if it ever happened to will, will would say "AWWWWW KITTY!!" that's a direct quote.), showered at 5, went to TGI Friday's at 6, saw Grease at 8, now I'm here watching Survivor Man. YEEEEAH LEAP DAY CELEBRATION.

I want to go to Euclid to get a drink, hang around and maybe do some art. But I don't want to go alone and look like a loser. Also, I'm afraid of public.

I just met a really nice man on the bus on my way back from Service Repro.
When he got on the bus, he sat down and smiled and waved at me, which I love when people are outwardly friendly like that in a non-threatening manner. So I smiled back and waved.
We both got off at the same stop, and pretty much as soon as he stepped off the bus he said to me "Your hair is really cute." Aw! That made my day, haha.
Me: Thank you!
Him: You look familiar.
Me: I go to Kendall, but that's the only place I think I would be seen around.
Him: Oh I should have guessed, haha. But maybe you just look like someone else I've seen before.
Me: Maybe- though I do dye my hair so often and change it that you could have probably seen me many times before and never recognized me each time.
Him: Haha maybe. So are you going to class right now?
Me: Oh, no I'm just going home to work on homework FOR tomorrow.
Him: Gonna get a head start? That's good.
Me: Haha yeah, I get behind really easily, too, since I work so slow.
Then we crossed the street.
Him: It looks like it's getting close to Christmas all over again.
Me: Oh, I know! It never stops snowing! I actually was down in Alabama all December so it's like the weather is trying to make it up for me, whether I want it to or not.
Him: You missed some really good blizzards, then.
Me: Haha yeah. I miss Alabama because it was so warm.
Him: I wonder how people live down there. It'd be nice if you could split the time here in Michigan between the winter and the summer.
Me: Oh, yeah that'd be great.
Him: My names Andre. [takes off glove]
Me: My name's Cara, nice to meet you. [shakes hand]
Him: Well, hopefully we'll meet again.
Me: Yes, hopefully we do. I have to leave here, so until then!
Haha, that was so pleasant. I hope I do run into him again some time, I'd love to talk with him more and I really want a picture of him to draw.
Anyways, today I slept in until 11:30, went to my apartment, showered, ate brunch with Wilhelm, chilled out for awhile then went to Color. We had critique today so it was very unbearably boring.
Then we got out a half hour early so I dropped off my portfolio at home then walked to the Dash West bus stop, bussed to Service Repro, bought illustration board, 22"x30" cold press water color paper, a mechanical pencil, blue and red graphite for the pencil, and four copic markers. I got two of them on sale! I also got my moleskin journal back because I left it there like a month ago (I really have to learn how to do things faster...)
Now I think I'm going to make some hot chocolate and continue working on my TO-DO LIST. I make way too many lists I can't kept track of them, so I end up making a new list or five every day.
( Wanna know what I'm up to? )
It's chilly outside! But I'm so slap happy right now.

Also, apparently Lauren's dad wants to have a talk with me before we go. Her dad scares me. Talks scare me. Interaction with people in general scares me now a days.
I typed out my trailing thoughts which were completely unrelated to Lauren, driving, tonight and money. It ended up being quite long but I ended up deleting so much that it didn't make sense anymore. So I deleted the whole thing all together. No one is interested in those kinds of things anyways, and I'm pretty sure I end up offending people when I really start talking about my feelings anyways.
I don't think I'm deep or insightful in the least. Sometimes I don't even feel intelligent.
I got OWNED by one of these.
And seriously right now I just want to sit in quiet because my head is pounding and ELLEN WON'T SHUT THE FUCK UP.
"AHAHAHH OMG MIKE ♥ AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA OMG HAHAHHAHAHAHAH WHAT? WHAT? HAHAHAHHAHAHAH OMGOMGOMGOMG AHAHHAHA MIIIKEEEE"
Shut upppppppp my head throbsssss
Now we're going to go dye all that is blonde green! So we're going to match! XD Then I'm going to paint my orange when the green fades and Will is going to get orange in that blonde patch! Then pink, and Will agreed to put pink in his hair! Hehehehehehhehehehhe
I'm so fucking hyper
Also, YEY LAUREN!!! She put in her application and made an appointment for her portfolio review so next Friday I"m driving to Allen Park to pick her up and take her to Grand Rapids for her review!! Then I have a SURPRISE for her that only Will and I know about hehehehehe, Lauren are you curious? ;) Well you'll have to wait a week baby. (And it's not my cock this time)

I am so sick. It's a pretty killer cold. And I know no one wants to hear about me whining about a cold, but that's pretty much all that's been happening to me.
Luckily, yesterday I went in to Color to turn in my watercolor card project. I told Tom that I pretty much only came in to turn in the assignment and right away he was like "Are you sick?" and I replied "I'm dying".
He's so nice, he asked if I could stay long enough to hear him explain the new assignment, which I agreed to do, then he let me go. Also, he made a point to look over my landscapes first so he could approve whichever one was the best so I could go right away. ♥
Today, I woke up feeling like death all the more so I just stayed in Will's bed and he went to Art History and said he'd take notes for me. When he came back an hour later he had bought me two little packages of single dose Nyquil ♥ and a 3 Musketeers Mint and Dark Chocolate candy bar ♥ ♥.
Then, I slept more, took a shower which temporarily made me feel better but as soon as I got out of the shower I was all congested and couldn't swallow again. I tried to eat, watched some Mythbusters then went to Drawing II.
I was going to just going to try and ride it out but I'm still feeling like shit and I forgot to bring my candy as well as my sketchbook (so I couldn't even just mess around in that). Then Patti told the class that there was a painting demonstration going on the whole duration of the class, as well as Art Education day so she said we could be excused if we were going to go to one of those.
So I asked her if I could go to clarify and she was like "Sure, you're excused if you go to one of those", and I didn't want to leave and show up next Monday and have her ask me how the demonstration went so I said "Well actually I'm feeling really sick..." and the lovely Patti quickly replied "Oh, well then go! Don't stay here and get everyone else sick!"
I'm so glad that my teachers are really understanding.
Hopefully I feel better by tomorrow because I don't want to have to miss Intro to Theater and Color again.
Also, I want to feel all happy on Valentine's Day. Yes, I like Valentine's Day.
I'm working on making a sketchbook for Will. ♥
I bought all the supplies last Saturday (cost me more than 50 dollars...I could buy a sketchbook for cheaper than that...) and Monday I folded all the pages, grouped them into signatures, then sewed them all together. I tried following instructions on a website for a specific stitch but it was really unclear what to do so I just did it my own way and I really like how it turned out. The book will be 8 1/2" x 11" :) it's also about 1/2" thick and even though that doesn't sound like a lot it's actually quite a lot of pages.
Yesterday I cut out the cover pieces from matte board, got cut pretty bad by an exacto knife and even dropped it on my arm... but the cover and spine pieces are cut out!!
All I have to do now is cut out the fabric I'm going to use as the cover, glue the cover pieces to it, glue on the cover facing paper, glue in the signatures, clamp it and let it dry!!
Then I think so it's a little more exciting than just a sketchbook, I'm going to fill in a few of the pages with art and notes and stuff. ♥ ♥ ♥ I'm pretty excited about this.

In Drawing II today it was pretty intense because I turned in my diptych and started sketching thumbnails of my triptych project- we're drawing three panels with colored pencil on a flat wash background of CANDYYYyy. I came up with the best idea for mine. The first panel will be Dark Chocolate M&M's moving in out of the bag to the right, the third panel will be Twix PB's will be moving in out of their wrapping to the left and the second (middle) panel will be BATTLE. So pretty much candy carnage. ♥ ♥ ♥

Today I did lots of errands. Will and I drove to 28th street and went to Salvation Army to look for a clip tie so he can use the clip part for his 3D Design class. However, there was none so we went to Target and thankfully he found one! I also bought a pair of pants ♥.
Then we went to Family Fare and got all our groceries. Will was feeling sick so we got him some cold medicine.
I have Rick Roll stuck in my head D':
Tomorrow I'm going to Jo Anne Fabrics to get some stuff.

A-hah! Today is my Friday! I love my weeks because they're not too long.
In Introduction to Theater today Maggie (who dressed as a maroon flapper today) went down to the cafe/ student services area where there are a few pieces of work hanging up and she pointed out this one piece to me (abstract graphite drawing?) and asked "Does that look like an inside view of a penis and a vagina?" and looking at it closely I said "yeah, it DOES look like a penis and vagina.... though it kinda looks like a fish inside a vagina now that I look at it."
Once we were back up in class we were having an in-depth conversation about how she and her boyfriend sexually role play a lot and how she often likes to pretend that she's a boy getting fucked by her man. Anyways, somehow that all led to talk about Bang Bus, shitting dick nipples, tentacle porn, bestiality and two girls one cup. While Maggie was explicitly talking about two girls one cup this other girl who was in our general vicinity got REALLY pissed off and started scolding us with "Go talk about anus and shit and whatever somewhere else!" But Maggie just ignored her and kept talking about it. It was pretty funny.
Then in Color we just had critique for three hours and I wanted to smash my head into a wall. I HATE critique days because nobody wants to talk or actually say anything helpful. It's like everyone is just repeating the same shit over and over for three hours.
I was going to go to the post office today but it's really fucking snowy and cold and slushy and I don't want to go without Will because I'm not really sure where it's at. Not to mention, I need someone to motivate me to walk out in the snow. God, I hate snow.

Kendall got canceled again today!
At 4 pm D: So it didn't affect me at all. So I still had to go to Art History 2 and Drawing 2.
I only finished one piece of my diptych but it went over well with the students and the professor kept saying "beautiful" so that must be good!
Right after Drawing 2 I went back to my apartment and got the sudden urge to get stuff done. I did the dishes, I threw in a load (then later another) of laundry, cleaned my room, dusted shit and washed my desk.
Then I was just painting for class tomorrow.
Will ordered a pizza and we've been waiting for an hour and in another half hour it should be here. Hopefully. It's Jet's. I'm hungry...
Oh shit, I forgot about my laundry. I hope no one took out my stuff this time... No one touches my underwear! DX

Yesterday I received a freakishly colorful package in the mail all the way from Louisiana. What was it? King Cake! I had no idea what King Cake was up until a few weeks ago. My pen pal from Louisiana sent me the cake as a little taste of one of her favorite celebrations and her hometown.
Today I got to sleep in to about 11, I went to Color class at 12:30 and painted more of my still lifes. We did small group critiques and I must have gotten stuck with two girls who aren't that good at painting or something because their still lifes were really messy and not good, however I was pleasantly surprised to see mine shining in comparison. Tom said I'm doing really good so I feel a lot better now, since I thought I was behind and that I wasn't doing so good.
Today I just plan on working on my drawing for class tomorrow. I'm really behind with this project, I know that for sure. Seeing as Monday was the only day I worked on it so far... Tomorrow is critique so I will still have the weekend to work on it but we're expected to have about 90% of it done for tomorrow. Oh well, if I can't get that much done tomorrow I'll just have to deal with it. I wouldn't be the first person to come into class with a drawing no where near finished.
Also, I bought two tickets today to go see Grease at the Grand Rapids Civic Theater. It's required by class, but I'm pretty excited.
EDIT: Woohoo! My bras from Fredericks just came in! Oh joy!! Now if only my headphones would get here...
