My Life, According to VAST

music: [VAST] you're too young
[instead of going to Math class, I am in the computer lab doing a meme. Yay!]

Using only song names from ONE ARTIST, cleverly answer these questions. Pass it on to people you like! You can't use the band I used. Do not repeat a song title. It's a lot harder than you think! Re-post as "My Life According to (BAND NAME)"

Pick Your Artist: VAST

Are you a female or male? Evil Little Girl

Describe yourself: I am a Vampire

How do you Feel: I Don't Have Anything

Things I Don't Understand: I Need to say Goodbye

Describe Where You Currently Live: Here

Your favorite form of transportation: Falling From the Sky

Your best friend is: Lady of Dreams

Your favorite color is: Blue

What's The Weather Like: Flames

Favorite Time of Day: My TV and You

If your life was a TV show, what would it be called: Is it Me

What is Life to You: One More Day

Your Relationships: Don't Take Your Love Away

Your fear: I Don't Have Anything

What is the best advice you have to give: You're Too Young

If you could change your name, you would change it to: Frog

Thought for the Day: Take Me With You

How I would Like to Die: Last One Alive

My Soul's Present Condition: Untitled

My Motto: I'm Too Good

(I feel like I cheated because I've never heard most of these songs, but I just don't have that many bands that I listen to so many songs from.

Good Songs from VAST, if you're interested:
Here
Last One Alive
Pretty When You Cry (all time favorite)
Temptation
Tattoo of Your Name
Lady of Dreams
Don't Take Your Love Away
Flames
She Visits Me
I Am A Vampire is kind of a fun song to listen to, but it's not a good song by itself, if that makes sense. Their other stuff is better.)

  YAY I failed another math test. That makes me two for two! I did pretty well on the practice sheet, but then got a 58 (out of 120 D: ) on the actual exam. Zuh?

The teacher recommends that anyone who fails two or more tests drop the class. However, I know that most people failed or scored really badly on the first test (fucking logarithms), and at least one or two handfuls of people did badly on the second test as well (Cute Bow In Hair Girl, who I thought would score really well, got a lower score than I did. Glasses do not make you smart), so does that mean that most of the class should just drop, three quarters of the way through the semester?

The way I see it (and yes, this is partly because I keep failing exams), one or two students in your class flunking out is normal-- some people just have trouble. If everyone in your class (except for the guy who always scores well because he's apparently sleeping with the teacher) is failing, that means YOU ARE NOT A GOOD TEACHER.

Wonder if I can go to the Dean and say something like "My teacher is dumb, may I have another please?"

So, considering just jumping on a plane as soon as possible and hauling my ass out to TN early, to save myself the trouble (and gas money) of continuing on with this class just so I can fail. I'd be happy to grow a mullet and work at a liquor store if I never had to see Joe Badrena again. (I think it'd be different to be a PSO in Big Mendy's house with all those kids running around all the time. It's still an option, though, if I can get my own place.)

In other news, I designed a Batman Hat with fold-down mask and I am excited to try making it. Before that though, I have TWO MORE COMMISSIONS OMG. Hopefully these won't give me as much trouble as the Panda Hat kept giving me, though that was partly my fault for trying to do difficult applique while falling asleep at the machine. (Also I found out that you're supposed to change your needle for a new one in the machine every so often, like changing oil in your car. Who Knew? Well, I did, after the needle in my machine snapped in half and pinwheeled crazily across the room, nearly taking my eye out.)

I might make little coasters from the scraps of fabric I have left, and applique flowers on them or something. My mom decided that she wants to use her old wooden saddle rack as a coffee table (or... something), and I've been using scraps as coasters anyway... wonder if there's a market for those.

Also: HELP ME MOVE. ORDER A HAT. THEY ARE PRETTY. IT WILL NOT BE HOT FOREVER. (one day I will be able to stop asking random people online for money. One day.)

Hurting a little. Not really sure what to do about it, if there's anything I can do. Can't really talk about it, either. But I really, really wish I could.

Wow uh... wow.

That's really all I can say. Kinda surreal.

at least they've been saved the trouble of embalming him

Yes, for the last fifteen to twenty years he's been a total nutjob, but he was still a pretty good artist. I mean, seriously. Put Thriller on and try not to dance.

  Every time I read about someone dying from sudden cardiac arrest-- and I mean every time-- I immediately think it was Kira, because I am a fanthing. (Even when it doesn't make sense. Although at the last there, Kira was pretty much just killing anybody he felt like. "how dare you jaywalk! *scribble scribble* DIE!!")



Skool today. Am awake way too early in the morning, and earlier tried to pin my hair back with an allan wrench.

Fixed the pink hat with the crooked ears... sort of. Ears are now on the same level, but one sticks out just a little bit more than the other.

So I added buttons.

Anyway.

I've been wanting to get a real Mohawk for a while, but kept convincing myself it was a bad idea. Now Bella's got an ugly new haircut, and I think it's a sign. A SIGN THAT SAYS MOHAWK.

I dunno, what do you think?

In Other News, Axis Powers Hetalia might be the greatest pseudo-historical overtly homosexual anime about anthropomorphized countries in the WWII era ever. See icon for "Chibitalia," its 'backstory' segment. Tiny Holy Roman Empire accosting Tiny Italy Under Austria's Rule is SO CUTE THAT IT HURTS.

EDIT: I know that you are, EVEN NOW, doubting the awesome that is Hetalia. Therefore, here is a 30-second clip of the ending theme song that demonstrates exactly what the show is all about: Italy being cute and dumb.

Sing Along!   
01:49am 10/06/2009
  Sunday Mom and I went out to eat, and ended up at the Sewing and Vacuum shop where, after much squeeing and getting my learn on, I got a real sewing machine for my birthday. It's an old Singer, which is fine with me because my two criteria for machines were a) works and b) doesn't cost $400. According to Anonymous People on Sewing Forums, though, the older machines are better, since they're heavier, last longer and are more dependable.

So far, my machine (whose name is Suzie) has proven herself quite worthy, and will put a neat little zig-zag stitch through just about anything I throw at her with nary a complaint.

Anyway, Hats.


I actually made this one for Skittle with the Handi-Stitch, then took a seam ripper to it and re-did it with Suzie the night I got her. I was still getting used to the machine, though, so Skittle's poor hat looks pretty ghetto. I'm going to just get some more fleece and re-do the whole thing, now that I have a few more hats under my belt.


Simple, using what I had left from my trip to the fabric store. It's a very solid hat, but the ears are off-kilter and I couldn't fix them no matter how hard I tried, and I feel like anyone who so much as glances at the hat will see the glaring problem with it right away even though probably no one will notice but me. Anyway.


Using more of the airline blanket and a weird-looking scarf I found in my drawer, I took my first crack at ear-flaps. I think I'm going to need a couple more tries until I'm comfortable with them, but at least I have the concept down. Also practicing shapes for when I have to re-applique that moon on Skittle's hat ;_; so hard (also the flaps looked plain and needed hearts).

I'm running out of fabric and random garments to mangle, so I'm gonna need to go back to the fabric store sometime soon. Hopefully fleece is still on sale.

  From an article on Yahoo! Titled Eight tips for how money CAN buy you happiness:

2. End marital conflict. If you’re constantly arguing about the unkempt lawn, or the moldering laundry, see if you can throw some money at the problem. Can you hire the teenager down the street to clean out the garage?

Newsflash, people who have the spare change to pay teenagers to clean their house: if you and your spouse are 'constantly' arguing over something as dumb as the lawn or the garage, 'throwing money at the problem' isn't going to fix the underlying issue. Pay for marriage counseling instead. Or a hooker.

Also: Governator to Ditch Textbooks for E-Books

Putting aside my opinion on the matter (I haven't used an actual text textbook in years-- my teachers rarely assign them), I would like to point out that our Governor would lose in a speech contest to a nine-year-old. I don't know if he writes his own speeches, or if someone does it for him and he fucks them up, but he just sounds like a 9th grade English paper every time he opens his mouth.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Will you Please Go Now!

Next time, Hats.
