So... yeah :p
Anyways, now that I'm not busy, I can reveal my diabolical knitting plan...
Merenwen's Knitting Plan!
Stuff to finish:
1. Calorimetry (I've only got two rows and the bind-off to do, but I'm procrastinating ;P)
2. Irish Hiking Scarf (only got a little bit left to do)
3. Ravenclaw scarf (about 45% done)
4. Fingerless gloves (need to be seamed)
Stuff to start:
1. Lacy Baktus (I'll have to finish the Calorimetry first, because I need the circular needle)
2. Lacy Waves Scarf (I can start this at any time, but I'd like to finish my Irish Hiking Scarf first)
3. Boneyard Shawl (again, I can start this at any time, but I want to finish other projects first)
I think I'll use my Patons Decor in 'Woodbine Ombre' fur the Lacy Baktus, Red Heart Super Saver in 'Light Sage' (the colour I used for my cat/mandrake blanket) for the scarf, and Decor in light blue (can't remember the colourway name) for the shawl. Fun! :D
I also have an itch to read a gazillion books. I think it's because the weather is cooling off, because I think I read more during fall and winter than in the summer - and any books I read over the summer are light, like manga or girly novels. I still have to finish Blood and Chocolate (I know, I'm lazy), but I really want to start my most recent library selection, Harmonic Feedback by Tara Kelly. It's about a girl names Drea who has symptoms of Asperger's and joins a band with two classmates who don't judge her. You can read the full synopsis on Goodreads here.
I also want to read Terrier by Tamora Pierce, but I also want to read her Tortallan quartets from the beginning - a 'book marathon', if you will - because I feel that if I read the last Immortals book, The Realms of the Gods, right away, I might have to go back and re-read parts of Emperor Mage. I also have $10 birthday money from my estranged grandmother, which I might spend on a paperback or hair stuff. I can't decide.
Eh, I should probably be doing GED work... or maybe I'll eat lunch first. I feel like making a tuna melt for lunch again.

Finally, some comfortable weather!
I realized I haven't updated in a little while, so I thought I'd post.
Yesterday the weather was so nice, we didn't have to put the air conditioner on - which is great, because we'd had weeks of muggy weather. Last night I sat out on the front porch with my mom, and stayed out there long after she'd gone inside. I think I was outside for around 20 minutes, maybe longer. It was awesome. I just sat and listened to the trees rustling and the crows cawing, and watched cars and people go by. I even heard a loud chirp as a sparrow flew by. It was nice.
I did hear some not-so-lovely sounds, though: a siren, a motorcycle ripping down our street, and our neighbour's son's car stereo. But, oddly enough, one of my favourite sounds was that of a bus driving down the street that crosses ours. It's odd because buses are known for sounding ugly, and when I was little I used to freak out whenever I heard a bus coming - but the older buses didn't bother me as much. Nowadays buses don't bother me much, probably because the newer designs are quieter and more fuel-efficient.
I'm itching to read Terrier by Tamora Pierce, for some reason. I just picked it up and flipped through it - I knew some of the beginning already, because I had tried reading it from the library but couldn't finish it in time. I even took it out of the library a second time, but I must not have been in the right frame of mind because I didn't get very far in it. I have my own copy now, though, so I can read it at my leisure.
The weather seems to be behaving today, so maybe I'll read my manga from the library (Full Moon O Sagashite #3) or Terrier outside.

A brief-ish update
Hi. Sorry if my last post sounded weird; I was feeling very unusual when I wrote it.
I'm still stressing about my relatives and their behaviour, but I reserved a book on film-making from the library so that should keep me busy. I also have The Manga Guide to Molecular Biology out of the library, which is cool. I'm only a few pages in and haven't really gotten into the basics of the subject yet, but I think I'm gonna love it. It's making me want to dig out my anatomy book again - actually, when I flipped through the Manga Guide the other day, I saw an illustration of a cell and actually recognized some parts of it from my anatomy colouring book. I don't remember what they were exactly, but the names and shapes looked familiar. It was kinda cool.
I can't seem to get into a novel I have out of the library. It seems really interesting, but my brain just won't relax enough to let me read. I'm thinking of starting another Tamora Pierce book, because I used to zip right through most of her books. I have Terrier, which I tried starting twice but couldn't get into; and Realms of the Gods, which my parents bought for me at Indigo but I never got around to starting it. I might start Realms because it's a Daine book, and I just love Daine's personality.
I'm thinking of writing a blog post of books I recommend, because I've read some books that are really awesome. And I like writing reviews of books.
Oh yeah, and I sliced my fingernail - I was trying to snap a thread, and it sliced my left pinky fingernail. It was a clean break, though, so my mom was able to super-glue it back together and cover it with a band-aid.
I watched The Men Who Stare At Goats today. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, actually. I laughed quite a bit. And I got to hear one of my favourite songs - 'Itchycoo Park' by the Small Faces - in it.

A quick post to free me of boredom
It turned out that there WAS steak left. So I had some. It was really good - dry, but good.
So I discovered that I cannot buy a new tank on FishVille on Facebook because I need 11 neighbors... *sigh*. Oh well. I don't desperately need the second tank - I can upgrade my tank at level 10, and I'm level 8, almost level 9, so I'll make it work. Or my Facebook friends can play FishVille... *winkwink*...
I'm worried that I won't have enough yarn to finish the Calorimetry, so I may skip some rows and bind off early with some white yarn. The yarn I'm using right now is a teal mystery yarn. The Calorimetry is a bit big, too, so I'll have to shrink it in hot and cold water - I can't do it in the washing machine, because that would totally felt it.
The back of my left hand hurts from knitting...
Oh yeah, I also watched Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs today. It was pretty funny. And I have more manga to pick up when I take my DVDs back to the library - Fruits Basket 9! The branch I go to got their copy back on the shelf after I had already been to the library, so I thought, eh, it's in now, I'll reserve it.

Boredom...
I have 'Middle of the Road' by the Pretenders stuck in my head, so I have to get it out.
So, I forgot that Dad actually DID work today, and that Mom's appointment was for when he got home. Oh well. At least he'll have a normal weekend this week.
I finished going over the answer analysis stuff in my GED book. I think I'm gonna just skip the math diagnostic test, because I already know that my math knowledge is crap :p lol
Mom called up to me earlier that there was rice and sauce ready if I wanted some... but I guess they ate the steak :( Oh well, I might have a frozen burrito thing instead.
On the upside... Castle is new tonight :) And Uncle Brent dropped in yesterday, and he said that Heather's friend will be doing the family photos. I hope so, because I am NOT going back to Sears for family photos. That was a nightmare and a half.
Also, the Cake Wrecks book is in transit for me at the library, so I should get it in a week or two. It might even be at the library in time for when I have to take my DVDs back. And I finished Full Moon O Sagashite Vol. 2 today, including the cute bonus manga in the back of the book. It was really good - both the book and the bonus manga. I really want to start Stewart Copeland's autobiography now, but I also want to finish Blood & Chocolate :p

Cutesy manga makes me wanna listen to j-pop
I picked up the second volume of Full Moon O Sagashite from the library when I went to pick up my reserved stuff. I decided to check the manga shelf first to see if it was there, and it was, so I grabbed it. That way, I didn't have to fuss with reserving it.
So anyway, I've been reading it, and it's been making me want to listen to j-pop, because the story's about a girl with sarcoma who wants to be a singer, and a couple of shinigami (death gods) agree to turn her into a healthy 16-year-old (she had to be sixteen to qualify for an audition, and she can't sing loudly with her cancer). So when I read the parts when she's singing, the lyrics and the flowery illustrations make me want to fire up my computer and listen to some Hikaru Utada. Which I'm doing now.
Oh, the song's done. Hmm, what to listen to now...
...now I'm listening to another Hikaru Utada song ;P it's an addiction.
So I did the diagnostic test for social studies in my GED book. I got 32 out of 50 correct, although I think I accidentally re-read graphs and stuff when I wasn't supposed to. But that still isn't bad, considering I haven't done much social studies work in at least a year.
I have a sharp little headache from the weather. It went to warm and no snow to fluffy snow everywhere. It's still a little warm for February, though. My left eye was aching and stinging, too, but I think that was from when I got shampoo in my eye in the shower.

I NEED TO WATCH MORE ANIME
Just as the titles says. Must watch anime. I might borrow the .hack//SIGN DVDs from the library. I love that series. I missed episodes of it because of karate.
Speaking of karate, I watched Fight Quest on Discovery HD the other day, and it makes me want to take karate classes again. I didn't realize how much I miss it. But there's no point in me signing up for classes now, because I still have to get my dental implant done. But maybe after Christmas I'll see about looking for a new dojo. If only Mr. Bishop's dojo weren't so far away!
Yesterday I got so upset because I couldn't find our Cooks Country magazines. Now I wonder if they got taken to Value Village. Either that, or my dad put them somewhere. He has a habit of boxing things up. He calls it 'cleaning'. I don't think they went to Value Village, because I remember them being in a box somewhere, probably with the holiday cooking magazines. If I can find out where the holiday magazines are, chances are I'll find the Cooks Country magazines.
Speaking of magazines. I spend way too much time on Wikipedia. Did you know that some manga magazines, like Ribon, are the size of phone books, and come with extras like notepads? I wonder if the library has Shojo Beat... according to Wiki, it's not being published anymore. Next time I'm in Indigo or Chapters, I'll have to see if they have any manga magazines.
Also yesterday, Mom let me borrow her fabulous Susan Bates size US 7 circular for my mandrake blanket, because the circular I was using is really stupid and won't stay de-kinked - when your left pinky goes numb when using a circular, that's not good ;P Hopefully I'll be able to zip through the blanket with this needle. I might take it to knit night on Tuesday.
But yeah. Anime. I watched a bit of InuYasha on YouTube last night. I must reserve one of the box sets from the library, because I lost track on InuYasha (again, because of karate). I might go on Wikipedia and read through the episode lists to see where I left off.
I wonder what anime YTV still has on. I should check their site.
Anyways. We didn't go down to see Grandma today because Mom was tired, so we'll probably go down tomorrow.

Happy Father's Day, Otosan :)
...yep, 'otosan' is Japanese for 'father'. But only when you talk to him. When you talk about him, you use 'chichi'.
I got my dad the new Green Day CD, and we had prime rib burgers for dinner. Mom gave Grandpa some golf balls.
I'm done reading Fruits Basket #2, and I just love Hatori Sohma. I can't wait until #7, because I think that's the one with the page about the Year of the Dragon, which is Hatori's Chinese zodiac sign. I reserved #3, and hopefully it'll be in by Tuesday, which is the day that our DVDs are due. Which reminds me, I have to watch Slumdog Millionaire tomorrow...
Blech, it's gotten humid. That's always fun... NOT!
I should go check my library account...

Srsly...
Okay, so I'm almost done reading Fruits Basket #2. And Hatori Sohma makes Edward Cullen look like... umm... *tries to come up with something original*... a puppy. Yeah, a puppy. Or maybe an awkward, baby elephant or giraffe. My point is, Hatori Sohma is fascinating.
I should make an avatar that says, 'I'd rather have a Sohma than a Cullen', as I also like Yuki and Shigure. Kyo is interesting, too. And Momiji is adorable. And Tohru Honda is so darn optimistic - I think her optimism is starting to rub off on Kyo, actually.
But Hatori. O.M.G. He really grabs my attention. I guess I go for the sorta-kinda 'bad guys', like Sesshomaru. Hmm. I'm an odd one.
Now then. What else has happened? Well, I did a bit of knitting today, and we went out for breakfast. We went to the British imports shop, but they weren't open yet, so we went to Len's, where I got two skeins of Moda Dea Ticker Tape and a couple of odd point protectors. Then we went back to the British imports shop and got some snacks and such.
I'll probably finish Fruits Basker #2 tonight. Maybe I should reserve #3...

Why inconsiderate jerks should not use the library
There's only one reason, really: wrecking books.
I picked up Full Moon O Sagashite #2 from the library yesterday, and when I got home I realised that not only were there pages torn out, but also SECTIONS OF PAGES CUT OUT. I mean, come on! If you want to cut specific panels out of a manga, BUY IT, DAMMIT!!!
So yeah. I'm not happy about that.
However, I am happy that my neck feels a bit better, and that there's youth group tonight. I'll have lots of stuff to talk about during check-in: the water being shut off for five hours on our street, the stupid idiot who wrecked Full Moon O Sagashite #2, Katie's grad, and other stuff. Actually, probably not a lot of other stuff, but eh...

Feeling more normal
I'm almost back in knitting shape - which is great, because I want to get started on my HPKCHC assignments as soon as possible.
I have the theme from Happy Days stuck in my head. I guess it's because I've taken to watching Fraggle Rock at 9:00 and Happy Days at 9:30 whenever The Ellen Degeneres Show is a repeat - which it has been for the past few days. *is irked*
I started reading Fruits Basket the other day, and it's pretty neat. I'll have to put it on my birthday list.
Oh, and I started geometry yesterday. So far it's going good. I'll probably do some later - I'm avoiding polynomials ;) It's actually a pleasant change from polynomials. I'll probably finish my algebra booklet soon, I just need a break from it. Then I can move on to more interesting algebra :)

A good Monday
It's the beginning of another month, and I'm feeling happy :)
There are three reasons why today is a good day:
1. My arm is feeling loads better. I haven't had to take Aspirin as often.
2. The June classes for HPKCHC have been added. I'm taking Charms, Herbology and Divination. I have my projects for Charms and Herbology planned out already.
3. The new items get added to the library catalogue tonight!!!
Also, I'm happy because I finished Full Moon O Sagashite #1 last night. It ended with a real cliffhanger, too! I reserved #2 today, but I'll have to wait awhile because there are two copies and two people ahead of me in line.

Aspirin ROCKS!
I've discovered that aspirin seems to work better for my arm pain that Robaxacet. Huh. My arm is doing great now, and I might be able to start knitting again pretty soon.
So Mom and I had a... well, not exactly a fight, but a... disagreement? She wants me to either wear a dress to Katie's university graduation or to dinner afterwards, even though the only dresses I own aren't comfortable to sit in a car in for an hour and forty-five minutes. So unless my mom's willing to buy me a cotton summery dress, I'm either wearing jeans and a nice top, or a skirt and a nice top, or a pair of my button-tab shorts (with the cuffs rolled down) and a nice top. Either way, I'm not wearing a dress.
I'm almost done reading Full Moon O Sagashite #1 :)

I've been re-bitten by the anime bug!
Yup. anime bug. i haz it.
And it's not just Pretty Cure (which I watched yesterday). I was re-watching an episode of InuYasha - episode 17, Sesshomaru at his most handsome. Well, maybe not his most handsome...
Also, I have to pick up the Return to Labyrinth graphic novel, and I've reserved Full Moon o Sagashite #1. There are other mangas I'd like to read, such as Ranma 1/2 and the two Cardcaptor Sakura mangas that the library has. I wonder if they're still in print - I love the Cardcaptor Sakura anime. I was listening to the opening theme from it earlier. I love j-pop :)
In other news, all I've eaten today is a few graham crackers, I'm still pissed off at Elyssa, the weather's been nice, I have five things to pick up from the library, and I might walk down to said library on Tuesday - they're open today, but I don't feel like going down today.
Oh yeah. I should probably update on my HPKCHC progress. My Herbology assignment is going well - slow, but well. Slow because my size 7 circular needle is so stubborn. It won't stay unkinked. I don't know if I unkinked it improperly, or what, but it's so hard to work with. I didn't have this problem with the size 9 Prym circular that I have. Maybe the size 7 is a cheap one - I don't know which brand it is, because Mom gave it to me without its sleeve/packaging. So for now it's a Mystery Circular. I'm going to ask Mom to send me the photos of my Ancient Runes blanket square, so that I can turn in my assignment and earn points for Ravenclaw. I also have to come up with an acrostic cheer for the Quidditch thread. I'm not participating in Quidditch, but I'm going to try coming up with a clever cheer. And I need to get yarn for my Charms assignment - either that, or try to come up with something with the yarn that I already have. I have no bronze-coloured yarn, though, only tan-coloured. No silver or grey yarn, either. I'll have to drag Dad to Michaels.
Now I have 'Keep Tryin'' by Utada Hikaru stuck in my head.
So anyways. Ancient Runes is done, Herbology is in progress, and I haven't started Charms yet. Last night I watched Spectacle, and almost changed the channel because Dad was talking over it, so I had thought, "Screw it, I'll watch it later". But Mom and Dad made a big stink about it, so I put it back on. Grr...
And it's not just Pretty Cure (which I watched yesterday). I was re-watching an episode of InuYasha - episode 17, Sesshomaru at his most handsome. Well, maybe not his most handsome...
Also, I have to pick up the Return to Labyrinth graphic novel, and I've reserved Full Moon o Sagashite #1. There are other mangas I'd like to read, such as Ranma 1/2 and the two Cardcaptor Sakura mangas that the library has. I wonder if they're still in print - I love the Cardcaptor Sakura anime. I was listening to the opening theme from it earlier. I love j-pop :)
In other news, all I've eaten today is a few graham crackers, I'm still pissed off at Elyssa, the weather's been nice, I have five things to pick up from the library, and I might walk down to said library on Tuesday - they're open today, but I don't feel like going down today.
