.:Phantasmagoria:.

Everybody else's seemed to be really accurate...so I tried it out.

You Are the Peacemaker

9 You are emotionally stable and willing to find common ground with others. Your friends and family often look to you to be the mediator when there is conflict. You are easy going and accepting. You take things as they come. Avoding conflict at all costs, you're content when things are calm.

Teleportation You scored 40% subtlety and 30% control!

Your super power is teleportation! Man, this power is *awesome*. You are never late for anything, ever. Never stuck in traffic, never spending 8 hours on a plane, just *bam* and you're there! It comes in handy fighting crime, too. About to get punched or shot? You'll be gone before it lands! This power isn't about influencing others--just you doing your thing. And it's only an attention-getter if you want it to be. Careful, though. You don't want to end up teleporting into anything inconvenient...like a mountainside. Ouch.

My test tracked 2 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 43% on subtlety You scored higher than 3% on control

Philosopher You scored 65% Do Gooder, 45% Drive, and 85% Intellect!

"To be or not to be?" You've probably pondered that before, as well as a million other things. You are well-read and intelligent. You can solve math problems or correct grammatical errors. You're also generally a nice person...but not nice to a fault which is good. I like a little bit of self-preservation. You are, however, a bit on the lazy side. You may know how to do things, when to do them, and why, but you don't really like doing them. You'd rather just sit back and observe life as it goes on around you. With more drive, you could be a rather great human being indeed, but the world needs its philosophers, too. All human being categories are: Lazy SOB, Rebel w/out a Cause, Evil Mastermind, Henchman, Criminal, Dictator, Frat Boy, Socialite, Philosopher, Stunt Double, Upstanding Citizen, Teacher, Cheerleader, Sister Mary DoGood, Benefactor, Loyal Sidekick, Candy Striper, Goody Two-Shoes.

Okay...those quizes are too addicting. I blame Val. >_

Okay, I never update here anymore...but I thought this was too awesome not to share. Just because I love the color lime green.

Your Power Color Is Lime Green

At Your Highest: You are adventurous, witty, and a visionary. At Your Lowest: You feel misunderstood, like you don't fit in. In Love: You have a tough exterior, but can be very dedicated. How You're Attractive: Your self-awareness and confidence lights up a room. Your Eternal Question: "What else do I need in my life?"

In other news, I have a new job as a receptionist at the Indiana Kentucky Synod...I'm loving Storyboarding class...This semester has been crazy busy...But life is good.

And it's finally Fall!

I don't know how much I'm going to be using my livejournal anymore...I mostly use the journal on my DeviantART site.

But I did want to say this, to those whom it concerns..

I was looking at the tour dates for Wicked, and it's playing in Chicago until June 12 this year. Then it'll be in Tampa during my birthday (which if, by some huge stretch, my dad actually gets it together and flies me down there..i might be able to see it with him)...

But what's really cool is that the show will be in Cincinnati March 7-19 of 2006, then in Cleveland June 21-July 9 of 2006 (which happens to be right around a certain somebody's 21st birthday..^_~). So I brought this information up with my mother, since I've made her listen to the music...and she got this "hmm..I have an idea" look. Which means there's a very good chance that next year, we'll be going to Cincinnati or Cleveland for a night-on-the-town, dinner, and Wicked! And I know she wouldn't have any problem with a few friends tagging along *wink wink*.

So I'm thinking that definitely needs to happen. Because I couldn't imagine experiencing Wicked without Laura or Val! Here's hoping! ^_^

Woo! I just checked out my grades...and the online course that I was struggling with the last few days of the semester surprised me. I was expecting a C+ at the most, after the final, since I hadn't worked through all of the modules. But I got a B+! Which is the equivalent of working through most of the way through the course, and doing well on the final. So needless to say I was thrilled...Not that I would have been devastated with a C, but now I have 3.8 GPA, and it makes me happy.

Final Grade Count:

English W132: A
New Media 110: A+
New Media 201: A-
Creative Concept Development 290: A
Introduction to Symbolic Logic: B+


Yay!



And now, after about...five days of summer vacation, I'm heading off to my first summer course this year. The course is called Digital Color, and all I know about it was what my advisor told me...which is that it's an extremely cool class that's taught outside with laptops. So it should be interesting.

I spent the day yesterday with Val, Alex, and Laura (during lunch break and after work). I got the cutest pair of shoes, and Colin's birthday present. It's going to be from all four of us. Val, Alex, and I went all over..and it was really fun, because I really miss hanging out with them. I hope we can do it more often over the summer. This stupid heat, though..I swear it just brain-drained everyone. By the end of the day, we were practically communicating in grunts. But it was fun! :D

Colin Orr is turning 21! How scary is that? And on the first day of ACEN. Friday the 13th. So yay for Colin! He's promised to stay sober for at least the weekend...then a bunch of his other friends are going to take him out.

Can't wait until ACEN! Can't wait until ACEN! This year is going to be the best ever...and I'm pretty sure everybody is determined to make it so. No drama this year..at least keep it to a minimum. Everybody will have fun, damn it. That's what ACEN is all about!

Ta ta!

$2,000 scholarship for next year!!! $2,000 scholarship for next year!! God bless my mom's company...I was so happy when I opened the mail today...That covers my $1,000 per semester contribution for next year. I was getting worried for a while, because I haven't been bringing in as much money. Whew..I'm all happy now! :D


It turns out getting highlights at Fantastic Sam's would cost $70 for me. So much for lower prices...I'm just going to buy a "multi-tonal hair color" kit at Target and do it myself. The haircut turned out nicely, though. It's shorter, the style isn't really different, but it's much healthier.

Ah, finally! Done with freshman year. It's been a good year. I completed enough modules in my online course to work up to a C. The final technically didn't count for anything..and since I only got up to the C range, I only had to do a third of the final (which was two questions). It was very basic, and the teacher said that it was nearly impossible to fail the final. But I went a little over what he asked for, in hopes of getting a C+. Possibly...

I'm just so relieved.

Now I'm free to do art...and of course, I don't have half the inspiration I had when I was swamped with school stuff. I started a picture I'm very happy about..I might try to enter it into the art auction at ACEN next weekend. We'll see.. :D Money is good.

I've decided that I'm going to get a haircut and highlights today, damn it. I've been kicking around the idea for a few months now and I'm just going to do it.

(Because everyone else is doing this..and I'm curious :D)

If you read this,
even if i don't speak to you often,
you must post a memory of me.
It can be anything you want, good or bad,
just so long as it happened.
Then post this to your journal.
See what people remember about you ...




In other news, I've dug myself into a pretty deep hole with this online course. The subject material hurts my head at times, and there are so many problems that I have to get done by thursday just so I can pass. I'm not looking for an A anymore, I really don't care..I just need to pass so I can forget about analytical skills forever. I'm not going to get too worked up over it, though, because that'll just make my brain stop. So I'm just going to go to the lab today and work for about five hours or so on this class.

Tomorrow is officially the last day of my freshman year at IUPUI. I have to say that I really really enjoy my school. I know that it isn't the best, and there are definitely a lot of things they could make better...But I have had so much fun in my classes (even the non-New Media ones). It really bothers me when people, both on and off campus, look at New Media as being a slack-off major. I mean REALLY bothers me. We don't just sit around and play with Photoshop all day. I have learned so much in the past year, and that's just in the beginning classes. Design concepts, generating creative ideas, working with clients, working with groups, pulling designs together, creating pieces that speak to people...This is what I want to do with my life, and hearing people blow it off, just because I'm not suffering to achieve it..that hurts. There's more to life than struggle. And yes, in the future, I know things will get a lot harder for me. But at least I'll be dedicated and loving what I do.

I think I want to live downtown. Not right in downtown, but possibly just off campus. There are several apartment complexes around that area that are safe, and convenient..I don't know, I'll look into it more. I just need a change from Zionsville. I want to try the city out for a while. I love coming out of late classes and seeing the city all lit up, right next to me. Someday.. ^_^
