It appears I have a lot of stuff to focus on. Some aren't new, such as my never-ending job search or recent computer difficulties. Then there's that RP audition I still have to get back to, as well as my own fiction.
Got two new ones though, along with one that's getting a higher rank on my priority list.
I need to start putting a little more thought into my graduation party. We can't have it on the fourteenth like I'd hoped because my stepdad will be out of town then. Mom suggested the end of May, but I'm not to keen on that. Some people need more notice for these kind of things. And perhaps I'm being a brat, but I'd also like to get
something for my graduation. With less time, some people might not be able to come up with anything. Not that I want much, but you know. Something besides a collection of Hallmark greeting cards would be nice. XD
So it's probably going to be on June 21 now. Really, I think this works out much better now. If we were going to have it earlier, I was told that we wouldn't really have announcements until
after the party. Like doing it backwards. I find that just strange, and I don't like the idea of it. I don't want my party to be last-minute, especially considering how much time we had to do it. I mean, I graduated in
September. Had I had it my way, this would've been done by now.
Next thing is something my stepdad brought up with me tonight. He thinks I should start considering getting baptized seriously now. I don't know... I'm not really that comfortable with it. I mean, I want to, but I don't think I'm ready. My religion differs from a lot of others in the sense that we don't get baptized until we ourselves can make the conscious decsion to commit our lives to Jehovah. I don't think I'm ready.
My stepdad says I should do it anyways though, reasoning that I already know enough to be held accountable, as baptized brothers and sisters are. That disturbed me a little, but I got over it soon enough. If that's the case, than I can live with it. But dedicating your life to God through baptism, to me, is an entirely different matter. I'm not a very spiritual person at this time, so I think that would just be like going through the motions. Don't get me wrong, I love my religion, and God too, but again- I don't think I'm ready. Maybe in a few years.
And finally, time with Dad, of course. For the record, I
did call him back. He wasn't home though. I left a message, which he didn't return until about the time we were leaving for the meeting, so I didn't bother to answer. From the sound of his message, he had some time off. I couldn't tell if it'd been today or tomorrow... guess I'll find out tomorrow.
Speaking of tomorrow, I'm going to do down to a bank and see if maybe they'd be interested in hiring me. Maybe I'll luck out. Also, I finished that assessment for that job employment agency. Hoping to hear from them soon.
All right. Now for some more questions! These are, as far as I know, the last that I've recieved. I know there were some people I responded to who didn't ask me any, or haven't yet, but if I missed someone, please tell me!
So here we go- questions for my good friend

tori_angeli!
1. Of any TMNT character, which one would you choose to sit by on a 20-hour flight and why?
Leo. Why? Uh... because I'm
me. And as me, that is an obvious choice! XD
Really, I'd love to just talk to him. If he were willing, I think he'd make an excellent conversationalist. I wouldn't bother him too much, of course- wouldn't want to be rude. Maybe ask him about some Ninjitsu techniques or what books he likes to read. I love books, and I think we'd find common ground there. Perhaps stories about younger siblings, too. XD
If Leo didn't really want to deal with me for the whole twenty hours, I might go sit by some of the others for brief periods. Again, there'd be so much to talk about! I'm actually not very picky- I'd be willing to go on and on about superheroes with Mikey, or listen to Donny babbble on about how planes work; I could get some advice from Splinter (Lord knows I need it!) or talk with Raph about motorcycles.
To sit by
any of them would be a honor. :D
2. How did you fall in love with TMNT?
It all goes back to that awful room crisis I had in one of the houses I stayed with my dad in. The one where I had to share a room with the baby and his crib and all sorts of various items that were moved into my room, most of which were non-functional.
At some point, a compromise was made and they fixed up the television that had been dumped in my room. For a few hours a day, I was permitted to go in my room alone and watch it. I'd seen snippets of the show a few times; I distinctly recall seeing the first half of Notes From the Underground Part 1 at my mother's. Anyways, when this time came along, they were part way through the Turtles in Space episodes. I found them highly entertaining and loved the characters. Leo's personality, in particular, fascinated me.
I'd only seen three episodes when I was at Wal*Mart with my mom one day. We were by the electronics when I spotted the Meet Casey Jones release on VHS. She bought it for me, and I indulged, growing a little more interested with each episode.
However, I was dying for something a little more angsty, like I'd seen in the fifth Turtles in Space episode. At a different Wal*Mart, with my grandma this time, I found the VHS release of The Shredder Strikes Back. I can still remember reading the synopsis on the back and bouncing up and down with delight! It sounded absolutely thrilling, and it also appeared like it as going to have something to do with my favorite character. Which it did, of course! XD
Oh, those episodes were amazing! That's what did me in. It was everything I'd ever wanted in a show and more. And as I became more enthralled with it, the more I would turn to it to relieve my stress in regards to how life was turning out.
TMNT has kept me sane. That's the icing on the cake for why I love it.
3. If you dyed or highlighted your hair with an inhuman color (purple, blue, green, pink, etc), what would it be?
You know, I've always wanted a white highlight on my bang. However, that's a human color and therefore out. XD
Hmm... I think blue. A light blue, like a cotton candy color. :D I think that'd be cool.
4. Where is your happy place?
In RL? Definitely my room. I always feel safest there. It's my domain. And I have all of my favorite things in there, whereas I have very little else in the rest of the world. It's also... well, it's me. :) The mess, and what little is organized. It's all a reflection of me. :D
After that, my happy place is probably online. There's just something about it, I guess- having the world at your fingertips. And I never felt so appreciated until I became Pi. I really needed that. I swear it saved my life. ^_^
5. You and your friends are camping when it starts to rain. The tent collapses. You have to put it back up in the dead of the night in the rain. Are you having a great time laughing about this with your pals, or calculating how far it is to the nearest hotel where you can stay up all night watching free cable and pestering the people at the front desk?
Heheh... it just depends! I absolutely love the rain. In all actuality, when it was dry I was probably wanting to go to the hotel. I love cable, don't get it enough, and would probably be content with staying in a room and enjoying myself.
However- the minute it started raining? I'd
so be there to stay! Rain is one of my absolute favorite things. :D
All right. Time for bed. I'm
so tired. Just realized I only got like three hours of sleep last night with no naps today. >.< It's time for me to sleep.
