Yeah, so regarding that poll that I made recently, this is the story behind it.

About a month ago, a U.S. soldier who had died in the line of duty received the Medal of Honor. He earned it because, when a live grenade was thrown into the vehicle that he and some fellow soldiers were riding in, he threw himself on top of it, saving everyone else in the car.

This is what got me...he was only nineteen years old.

On a lighter note, I've been drawing a lot lately. Now I just have to track down a scanner. DX

Omigoodness, though I only got to go to one day of it, MTAC was amazing. I'm glad that I went there for my first anime con, but I think I'll have to cosplay next time. Oh yes.

Anyway, I got to meet *messa and her friend ~Ionhelen along with a bunch of other really great artists. I also spent about $46 on copic markers _{(I loves them so much!)} and another $30 or more on meh siblings.

AND! I attended a panel/seminar thingy by *honoofairy about how to use copic markers. She was so helpful; and knowledgeable too!!! And her friend was hilarious. I almost bought some of her artwork and then I realized that I only had a dollar left. Poo.

And my father, who was anime-ed out in about an hour (poor dear) went and fell asleep in the sun by the pool, resulting in a nice sunburn.

The cosplayers ranged from excellent to awful. There was a girl with a wonderful Chi outfit. She was so cute!

That was all on Friday.

Today, on the way home, my father took me to Ft. Campbell where I got to see the ATM that made my mom cry (it was the first one that she had ever used in the states, before she spoke and read English as easily as she does now). The PX there is about the size of a small mall and the base itself is about twice the size of the county I live in. HOLY CRAP.

And that's all...

Oh yeah, I went to the eye doctor on Thursday afternoon. As it turns out, I have chronic dry eye, and growths under my eyelids that are an allergic reaction to protien buildup on my contacts. Apparently, these growths have scratched my retinas to badly that it's actually made my eyesight worse. So now I'm on two different eyedrops and I'm not allowed to wear contacts for the next 2-3 weeks.

Oh! and *Marius-Creb has a fantastic new haircut. Go see her pictures of it. She's so cute!!!

There was an earthquake at about 5:40 this morning. At first I thought it was the heat coming on in the house, then, when the shaking didn't stop, I kind of put two and two together. Never fear, nothing was broken, though it scared Dillo shitless.

Today is ~crazybit's 18th birthday along with her twinsie! Happy birthday dear. It was most certainly and ground shaking day!!! Ha ha.

The prom is tomorrow, but, even more excitedly, I'm getting my hair chopped off. Right now it's about twenty inches long; it'll be about my shoulder when I'm done. I'm super stoked.

Oh! And I got a laptop last weekend as an early graduation present. It's so beautiful. *pets it* I'm using it right now. Oh, heaven. Yus.

And I'm done.

God, I need to clean up my front page. >.<

Okay, so there's a little three-year-old girl in my town who has cancer in her kidneys. (She's already had one removed.) So, our National Honors Society chapter desided to have a bake sale at our last basketball game to raise money for her and, get this...

We raised $620 in just the one game.

Yes, that's right: 620 big ones.

One guy paid $50 for $2 worth of baked goods. Someone else just donated $100 and expected nothing in return!

Who knew that people could be so generous; I had been beginning to lose faith.

I hope this helps make everyone feel a little better. It's always great to know that there's still a little love out there.


Also, *Marius-Creb's oatmeal cookies sold like hot cakes. They were gone in one quarter. Bravo, m'dear!

Okay, so first I log on to find that I can't fullview or favorite anything. No big deal, I'll just leave the stuff I like in my inbox and try over on Firefox instead of on Internet Explorer. I switch over, log in, and, what do ya know! Can't fullview or favorite here either. Okay, okay, I'll keep my cool and just submit a little help query to the Help Desk and go on my merry way.

Oh, what's this, I can't submit art either? My browser isn't up to date? Okay, fine. I'll just wait the twenty minutes that it takes to download. Now that I have the most up to date version on Internet Explorer, let's try again...still nothing. Now it says that my Javascript needs to be enabled. I enable it...and yet it still won't let me submit.

Alright, so let's mosey on over to Firefox. Mhmmm, no uploading for me. It seems that I need updates...again. Okay, updates downloaded and installed and I even double checked to make sure that Javascript was enabled. Let's try again.

Nothing.

Fuck.

Whatever, I'll just go rant about it in my journal.
