Satanic Waffle House XD

 Sooo...Its been WAY too long since I last updated and I'm REALLY REALLY REALLY SORRY for that!! Too much stuff has been going on (which I will get to below):

So, going in sorta random, sorta chronological order; Revelation Generation happened September 4th. It was pretty freaking awesome! I went with Kat-chan and Rachel (who I seriously need a nickname for because I call all my friends "chan" except for Rachel because I have no nickname!! Blonde-chan? I believe Kat-chan calls her Baka-chan, but she's not very baka...hmmm...anyway...)

What was I saying? Oh yeah! RevGen! I has pictures and videos of course!!













Twas a fun time :)

So, school started up on the 7th. So this week is actually my 3rd week of school (wow, hard to believe...Of course, the first week was only Tues, Wed, and Fri. We had Thursday off. This school year is good and bad.


Good:
-Senior year
-cool classes (Biotechnology -- at a nearby tech school, AP Government (I hate social studies, but the teacher is awesome!), Honors English (we're doing British literature, which I'm actually excited about!!), AP Physics (physics = cool, teacher = eh...something about her just doesn't sit right with me...maybe she's an alien...), AP Statistics (I didn't get the really awesome Stat teacher!! Grrr...I got the new one. Its her first year teaching and she switches between talking to us like we're experts in statistics to talking to us like we're in first grade! She seems nice enough, but its been boring enough that I fell asleep during our first test! I was freaking taking the test and I fell asleep!! ...This is going to be a long year)
-study hall (I have Rachel, Dealer-chan, and (on Tuesdays) Courgy-chan)
-Dealer-chan is in my Physics class, so that makes it fun
-8th period lunch -- Its nice because I go to Biotech, get back to my school in the middle of 2nd period, go to 3 classes, go to lunch, go to 2 classes, go home. My point is, if I make it to lunch, all I have to look forward to after that is physics and study hall!!

Bad:
-teachers...As I kinda already mentioned in my cool classes. The subjects are awesome. Teachers are okay. The only cool teachers are the Biotech, English and Gov't teachers.
-I don't see ANYONE in the morning!! (Because of Biotech, I have to leave at 6:50am and drive 30min every day to the tech school. In previous years, the whole BBM could meet out front of the school in the morning before school started. Now I can't do that because I don't actually get to my school until about 9:15!! It makes me really sad that most days, I don't ever see Kat-chan or Courgy-chan!!
-I have no one in my lunch period. The only people I know in there are Dealer-chan's sister, and Rachel's sister's friend! I sit at the "loser" table with all the other people who have no friends and we just sit every other seat, not next to each other, and eat in silence...usually while doing homework...=(

Actually, I talked to someone the other day. She was a freshman and I was drawing a picture of Aqua from BBS (which I will MOST DEFINITELY talk about later in this post XD) and she asked me who it was and we talked about Kingdom Hearts and anime and stuff. It was fun except I couldn't really hear her very well because its very loud in the lunch room and hard to hear what people are saying, even if they're sitting 2 feet from you...So I kept saying "What?" and "I'm sorry, I can't hear you!" and I felt really bad :(

Anyway, what was I talking about? Oh yeah, so school is OK. Not that bad, not that great. I'll get adjusted eventually...

Okay, AP classes are freaking cruel with their summer homework. I'm taking 3 AP classes this year and Biotech (which is a Duel-Enrollment course). They all had packets to do and they sucked!!! I spent pretty much the entire month of August working on those things for at least an hour a day and I was still cramming almost 2 entire packets in the last 3 days before school started! I was tired of school before I even got there!! I guess that's what being a senior is all about...

Oh! Really cool thing I learned! My school finally gave us our class ranks and GPA's.
Based off of grades from 9th-11th grade, my GPA is 4.5601 (our school has a weighted grading scale) and my class rank is 6th out of 381 students!!!! I FREAKED OUT when I heard this!!! (Well, I actually just freaked out on the inside...My mom told me and I was like, "Really? Cool." Then I went to my room and did a little victory dance/jump/squeal/thing. I pretty much spazzed out...)

Uhm...Thinking of what else I wanted to say...
Shippensburg! I visited Shippensburg University with Kat-chan. Twas fun. Rides there consisted of much talk about the Satanic Waffle House...Very long story...Ending in Lucy's brother James running a very cute interdimensional waffle house with his partner Sebastian, his best friend -- Rose the demonic fern, and his little servants resembling the accounting trolls from the Dilbert comics. There was also talk of Nuclear Hellfire Waffles and epic crossovers...Speaking of which, I did draw James and Rose, I don't know if its the same as you pictured him, and I haven't colored it yet, so I will put it in another post. Sorry!
(For now, here's a picture of Gir eating waffles X3)

This weekend was amazingly fun! On Friday, we had the joint birthday party for Kat-chan and Rachel. It was at Rachel's house and lots of people came. There was much noms and dancing and singing (of Disney songs mostly XD)
Funny story, I was at my church community day, which was on Saturday. Rachel's neighbors go to my church and Mrs. W said to me, "Hey, Kaitlyn, were you at a party last night?"
I laughed, "Yeah, did you hear us?"
"Yeah...I think it was something from the Lion King?"
"Yep. That was us."
You see, that's just how awesome we are XP
Oh, and Rachel got some awesome cosplay stuff! She has pretty much her entire Demyx cosplay set.
Speaking of which, I realized in the shower (of all places) that my mother had a lab coat that she had used for a microbiology class she was taking. So, I thought, 'Wait, I have a lab coat and a Zexion wig. Duh! I can do Ienzo!!!' And so now I have an Ienzo cosplay. And that is that.

So now, finally to my otaku-related news.

 This is pretty much all consisting of Birth By Sleep talk. My brother got it for his birthday and we've been sharing it, so I'm not very far. I actually am playing as Ventus, Terra, and Aqua kinda simultaneously and I'm at Deep Space with Ventus and Aqua and Neverland with Terra. The game is AMAZING!! I love it so much! Much better of a game than 358/2 Days. I mean I liked that game, but it was not nearly up to other KH game standards. But I really love the fighting styles in this game and my Zacky is in it so that just has to make it amazing!! (I had major fangirl attacks every time I went to the Colosseum and saw Zack. He's just too CUTE!! He's so little with the same personality and trying to hit on Aqua! Its just so cute!!)

 Anyway, this game is one of the reasons I haven't been updating. When I'm not doing homework, I'm playing the game (I lost the game DX).
Me and Courgy-chan had a fight over Vanitas. I had called him a while ago to my brother, but not publicly, so apparently, she had called him too. So we were arguing in the school parking lot. She followed me to my car and stood behind my car and wouldn't let me leave until I admitted Vanitas was hers. It lasted about five minutes. I had turned my car on and put it in reverse, but she still would not move. I gave in. I said she could have Vanitas if I could have Terra (whom she had called at the end of last school year). She agreed.

(Rachel, I know Abby called Terra, but like you said at your party, she's more like an honorary member of the BBM, so I am fine with calling the same people as her -- Zero and Terra for example.)
These are seriously the kinds of fights my friends and I get into. We almost run each other over for rights over fictional men ;)

I believe that's all I wanted to say in this long update post...Sorry for so many words...

PS: In case you were wondering, Ienzo is little somebody-Zexion from Birth by Sleep. 

PPS: Lots of things going on with my family recently. My brother's birthday was recently. He got cool new games and the party was fun! My little sister, on the other hand, is not doing so well. She dislocated her knee at school. At first, we just told her to walk it off, because her joints get dislocated easily because she has a genetic disorder that causes your ligaments to be looser than they should be. But, it didn't get better, so they went to the doctor and it turns out that, along with having the ligament problem, her knee cap is not the right shape and so it doesn't fit right in her joint, further adding to the dislocation problem. They said that she can't do sports with lots of pivoting (so no soccer or basketball for her) and she'll have to really work up the muscles to prevent this problem from happening over and over. They said she'll probably have to have surgery on her knee at the age of 10 and she'll almost certainly have arthritis in her knee when she's older. I feel so bad because she managed to get handed down all the worst genes that run in my family and she's just got rotten luck. But otherwise, she's as happy and goofy as ever. She'll be fine...Just, can you guys keep her in your prayers?

PPPS: I've been totally obsessing over this song recently and have had it stuck in my head so much!

We saved a cow XD XD XD

Really random, but Pablo (my kitty) just came out from behind my bedside table/cabinet, scaring the crap out of me! I swear my animals have secret portals that they use under beds and behind cabinets to get from one room to the next...Its really quite scary...

Anyway, on to the actual purpose of this post, as with most posts: UPDATES!! Yay!

So, my mom is still in the hospital, but the good news is that we know what's wrong!!! She apparently has multiple stomach ulcers caused by a medicine she was taking. Fortunately, stomach ulcers are completely curable and she should completely back to normal in a few weeks. We were hoping she would be able to come home today, but that didn't happen because they want to observe for a little while longer if it hurts her to eat. I'm not really scared for her so much any more as I am just simply missing her being here. I've had to play Mommy the last couple days for my little brother and sister (my dad has been with my mom at the hospital from morning to 10:30ish at night). So I have to feed them and entertain them and comfort them and eventually put them to bed (which is made all the much harder when you have to tell a crying child who misses her mother that it will be you putting them to bed again tonight...I almost broke down myself a couple times, but I've tried to keep myself strong in front of the kids. I've also been straightening up the house every day so that my mom won't have to come home to a mess and be even more stressed out...And all of this is EXTREMELY exhausting. You never reallize how much your parents do for you until you have to do if for others! I will have to give my mom and dad hugs and thank them when all this is over :)
And thank you Katherine and Kristen for commenting on my last post! Your comments really cheered me up ^w^
And, to answer your question Kat-chan, Riku has a blindfold because he is becoming one with his inner darkness in order to exploit the power of oblivion. Plus, when he takes off the blindfold, he morphs into Ansem -- Ansem just isn't as pretty as Riku ToT

 So, today, I actually had some help with the kids and dinner when my grandmother came over with pizza and she took me and the kids to the park and then for water ice. At the water ice place, she tried to convince the guy behind the counter that they should have senior pricing to attract all the grandmother's and grandchildren (I'm not sure she realized that he has absolutely no control over the policies of the store...)
Then, on the way home, we drove past this farm and the cows were escaping through a broken fence and right onto the road! Oh noes!! So, we turned around and into the driveway of the farm owner to let them know their cows are escaping and they were listening to loud music, so we were banging away on the door and honking the car horn and eventually the guy comes out and sees his cows escaping and runs off to get them! Then, we drove out and my grandmother called the police to let them know that there are cows on the road and to put up some kind of traffic barrier or something. So we saved a cow, today!!

When we got home, we saw fireflies all over the hill, so my brother, sister, Gracie (my demon-corgi-dog), and I all went out and chased fireflies (yes, I am 17 and I still like to catch lightning bugs XD). So that was fun. Gracie kept trying to chase my brother. Twas very funny ^^

And way back to the beginning of the day (I'm not exactly going in sequential order here...) It was our LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!!!! w00t!!! hyuu-hyuu!!
I'm so glad that I may actually be able to sleep in!!! And I am now officially a senior in high school!!!!!

Today, in school, I spent time doing pretty much nothing. My Chem and Calc finals were yesterday (and they went fine. They were actually kinda easy...) and those were my last finals, so I was done with tests and just had study hall today!!!! I spent my time listening to music, thinking of what I need to get done this summer, listing jobs I want to apply to, and drawing pictures. Here are the pictures I drew today (and the ones that I said I drew before, but didn't get to putting them up):

 

So, this picture is Rhyme from TWEWY. She is very cute (and this IS a girl, though I didn't know that until about halfway through the first week when Shiki refers to Rhyme as "she")

 

Sho Minamimoto...he's an interesting guy...X3

 

Another picture of Sho, but just kinda chibified and with his catch phrases and lots of pi...

 

Just a random sketch of a kid holding a stuffed animal that I for some reason turned into Mr. Mew (animated stuffed animal that Shiki fights with in TWEWY)

That's all for the pictures right now. 

Now for other random stuffs. Creation is just about a week and a half away!!! So excited! And I will definitely be posting pictures afterwords (if my mom allows me to use her camera -- the ocean killed my camera last summer at the beach...) and I'll probably post a long post about the stuff, too XD XD XD

 And the english trailer came out for KH: Birth By Sleep!!!!

Aqua's voice is rather annoying, but I could probably get used to it eventually. The game looks awesome!! And who is that guy in the Organization coat (when the Organization is not supposed to exist yet)?!?!

Another random thing. I'm thinking of getting a drastic change in my hair and I don't know if I can do it (I really want to, but I don't know if I'll chicken out...) I'm thinking of dying my hair red -- like a deep, darkish, maybe-brownish kinda red, not orange-ish red. Not that I don't like orange-ish red hair (aka natural redhead hair), it would look horrible with my complexion. I can't pull off natural redhead (or blond, but that's really not relevent). I think it would be awesome for my hair to be...less boring. Its just straight and brunette right now. And not even cool brunette. Its like medium brown hair, with my eyes also being brown--though my eyes are a much darker shade of brown. They're almost black and I love my eye color, but I could do with a change in hair color). Anway, I think it would be really cool and I'd also want to get a kind of emo-style haircut, like this:

I think it would be cool. What do you think? (More aimed at Kat and Rachel who actually know me and what I look like, so they would be able to make more informed opinions...)

Well, I believe that is all...And for some reason, I just lost the game...
Anyway...
