Tuesdays are the days of Fire, ruled by Aries and other fire signs. By Mars, most particularly. It's supposed to be MY day. But of course, my shower took too long, my hair was too wet, and I got to math class late. I didn't miss anything important, but there was an assignment I didn't get around to doing, since I didn't have a protractor (not that it's really an excuse, but still). So come the Homework Quiz (first one of the semester, mind you), I had to bullshit for the last question. I wonder if she'll mark me off for getting the percent off by only a few points?
Then came CAD class, and while for the most part, I was okay sharing with a classmate, working up to drawing 3-3, all of a sudden, Lavassani sped up, and was talking about all this stuff I didn't understand. Worse, the drawings are getting more complicated. X_X Gaaah... I think I'll be calling Dad every Thursday and begging for his help with my assignments.
I wandered over to the bookstore to try and find Scott; no luck. I waited in a tremendous line just to buy a protractor, and then I waited outside... unfortunately, Grandpa had already swung by and left WITHOUT me, so Baba had to come and pick me up. :P I texted Scott, and he replied JUST as I left campus. :P Darn, we could have had lunch together or somesuch. Shortly thereafter, I went with Grandpa to drop off my NYC film, but I wasn't about to wait around 90 minutes in RiteAid for them to develop. Plus, Grandpa couldn't get the car smog checked, since there was a long wait.
Scott actually CALLED me, and we talked about some rather random stuff... most of it relating to his REALLY needing a place to stay. Hollywood just isn't doing it for him, I guess. Commuting at all in this area is a bitch, and I don't even drive! Obviously, when he first asked me about this a while ago, I asked Baba and Grandpa, and they didn't seem too keen on the idea, but... who knows? They need to get to know Scott, I think, and maybe they'd be okay with it. Why not, I mean? It's extra money every month, an extra hand around the house-- plus ME being VERY HAPPY. ^_^
He was quick to point out (before I even THOUGHT of it) that yeah, it'd be awkward for my Grandpa to have to give a room to a guy who's going out with his granddaughter (his words, not mine). My face was like: O_O
So I guess we're going out, now? I didn't say that, but on the end of the line I'm smiling like a hyena. *GRIN!!!* But, as Téa says in WDKY11, "One step at a time..." *smirk*
Yes, so onto other topics. I've worked on WDKY11 some, and a new layout for Darkness Rising. The latter is being annoying, since some images don't want to align properly, and I'll probably end up using iFrames again. I seriously need to come up with a better way to organize pages. -_- On the bright side, the creation of the layout led me to go rummaging through my font collection, and I stumbled on some nice ones that I'll try and use later. If worse comes to worse and I trash this layout for DR, I can try to use it for something else... I have Yu-Gi-Oh manga that I can scan, that Jounouchi doujinshi... *shrugs* Who knows? I can always go generic...
Damn, I wish I hadn't spent my entire paycheck already. I want Joey the Passion and FFX. -_-;;;; Even Baba's been nagging me about a job, but I don't want to fall behind in my school work. It's already demi-stressful...
And on that same topic, I've been leaning towards getting back into Wiccanism again. I really don't practice as much as I should (read: at all). I feel horrible about it, too. I know I need some sort of spirituality, just because I have all this excess energy and thought that should be channeled into SOMETHING, and no, not something like writing, or schoolwork. That's not what I mean. There was a whole reason why I fell into Paganism in the first place. I don't want to be a Fluffy!Wiccan, but unfortunately there aren't many people of a similar following here in the San Fernando Valley. Maybe there are a few, but I haven't been able to find any on campus, and that'd be the best place for me to start-- locally, with people my own age.
I wonder if there are any covens nearby?
Well, so I want to set up an altar, and I've only got a few parts for it thus far. I need some candles, incense, a bell, and a pentacle. What I seriously need is an Occult store or something. I think I'm going to try and meditate or something tonight, and maybe do a reading with my Cards, since I haven't in a while.
This ends up tying back to Scott, who mentioned a lot of things when talking about the kind of person he was... like I said, a random conversation on the phone, and one during which I was sadly distracted by the complicatedness of one hour photos at Rite Aid. He's Buddhist, which I guessed, judging by his necklace, but he also does yoga (!) and meditates. In so many ways, we're drastically different, but we have a few things in common, as well. That and, well, I still like him. So... I'm not going to be judgmental and let things like that get in my way. Still, I'm kind of afraid that he'll think *I'm* weird for thinking I'm/saying I'm/being Wiccan, or that I have a bizarre connection to people that are dead.
Geeeeh... I did get around to telling Kara at the reception about Timmy and the others being there at her wedding. I could FEEL them right behind me, I could see Michelle, Tim, and even Smitty there! I could hear what they said to me, and I could feel their emotions. Blame it on an overactive imagination or something, but... I don't know how I could have come up with the words they said, or the clothes they wore-- when I was busy focusing on the wedding.
So... yeah. I have to get my homework and stuff together... and maybe in a bit, work on a new, organized Snapshot layout. Sometime this week I hope to get my NYC photos scanned-- I got doubles for everything, but the Tourist roll got reduced to 13/36 shots, which sucks royally. So I'll scan what I can later on... and maybe even do a few collages. :) I'm not sick anymore, but I do feel weird. Hrm... just one of those nights?
