It's Not Over Yet

_____Fair citizens, I miss you all. Especially a certain few of you whose blogs I have neglected like squishy iguanas on those lonely desert nights. Alas, I have this final week until Spring Break. I must retain my grades in this short time and then hopefully I shall return for vengenc-- errr, more blogging.. nnnnyes. Feel free to leave negative criticism on behalf of my absence, I will accept it with open arms (then have you tracked down, then given you the bacon.. of eternal sorrow and sleepless nights). Baugha haugh haugh haaaaaauh! No, seriously-- I like you. A lot.

Winter's Lament and Beauty's Withhold

_____Look at that fancy-pantsy title-- is that some poetry or what? Just call me Robert FROST (geddit, geddit, there be snow in my pictures? hurhurhrur). Today is a good day, citizens, mainly because we got a two hour delay to school and I woke up on the happy and buttered side of my bread. We have had a few delays this year. I'm liking this extra snow, not only because it guarantees the most bright of photos, but also because it's concentrated awesomeness in its coldest and most sinisterly delightful form.
_____If you look in the back of some of my pictures, you can see Charles the swan making the water ripple about. He kept trying to take the spotlight from me. That crazy swan. In other news, I got my hair cut last weekend and now it feels a ton shorter. When I went in to get it cut, I told the hairstylist lady I was trying to grow it out, and she said we'd have to cut off all the dead ends.. apparently, all of my hair was dead. Oh well, at least I can brush my hair now without my brush getting stuck halfway down my hair. That's a pretty nice feeling, I guessssss.
_____I hope you all are staying warm in this cozycold weather!

We Think in Generalities, But We Live in Detail

________I actually finished this a long time ago, but it's been framed in our school's library for probably about a year now and I was never able to take pictures of it; thus, the other day, I decided to smuggle it out since I wanted it back.  I unhooked it from the wall and busted out the library doors, frame and all, then dissembled it in the art room and sneakily snuck my prize home.  I felt so dastardly and agent-like.  Those librarians never suspected a thing.

________Then again, they saw me and didn't give two damns--er, what I really meant is that it was like a James Bond movie up in there with the 007 theme playing in the background and bullets whizzing past me in slow motion and everything.  Too rad for words.  It's a shame you weren't present.

____Yeah.  So. This be sharpie and ink, and it 'twas quite fun to draw.  I just love ink and making lots of wonderfully varied lines that slope and curve in and out of each other.

The Crowd Gives the Leader New Strength

____No, I won't say it. I refuse to apologize for my lengthy absence. I absolutely and irrevocably refuse.
____...
____Very well. I'm sorry I was gone. But I do have a legitimate excuse (or a few) for my hiatus, such as how I've had lots of school junk, like having to read about 700+ pages in the past three weeks for school (for some people that's nothing, but for me, different story), doing some art stuff, aaaaand having to complete lots of not-so-lovely essays and projects. I thought that your senior year was supposed to be easy. LIES, my friends, lies. I'll say to myself at the start of a week, "If I can just get this week over with, from here on out will be nice for a while," but then after finishing one week, new work flows into the weekend and the next week and it's just a never-ending cycle of wretchedness.
____I would love to write more in this bloggerly post, but alas, the drone of school's doings is battering my ears and will continue to do so until I wage war with it. Farewell, my fair citizens-- hopefully we shall meet again before the moon's phases change too dramatically!

Under White Skies

____Ah, what a fine day it is! School was canceled due to the icy roads. As you can see, we didn't really get any snow.. more like a layer of ice that killed everything that was once living. Saw some dead fish in the lake behind as I was taking these pictures with Sir Samuel (my camera) and Jean Bob (ye old trusty tripod, for those of you who are unfamiliar what these odd yet eloquent names are). But not all was dead! Charles the swan (I didn't name him, that's actually his name, he is the neighborhood swan) swam up behind me while I was taking these. I got down on my knees and said hello to him and he swam up to me, hissed at me, puffed his feathers up, and then swam off. He's such a tease, that Charles. I even managed to make a gif of our meeting, which I don't know how to put onto the blog, so here.

____This is the new amazing jacket I got for Christmas. I didn't even get cold wearing it outside, plus it's super comfy! I was afraid that it would be too boxy since it looked to be so on a hanger, but now that I see the pictures, I am liking it more than ever and wondering why I ever thought such a silly thought.

____What do you guys like to do on cold days? Me likes playing the Sims. Seriously, I haven't stopped playing that game ever since I got re-addicted to it over winter break.
