Fulfilled

This weekend was great! On Wednesday after school, I got to help out at the animal shelter. All the dogs are so adorable, I wish I could take one home! But I already have two, and my mom's not letting me (read: the family) get anymore. T.T They were so cute! There was a really sweet one named Nena, and she was just the cutest! I wanted to walk her forever, but there were other dogs that needed walking. Brittany fell in love with a long-haired Chihuahua (who had his hair shaved) named Ace. His ears looked like bat ears! He was so adventurous and kept wandering around everywhere! Ah~ I want to go back and help out again!

Thursday was boring. XD But Friday, I got to see The Lion King production at Mandalay Bay. It replaced The Phantom of the Opera as my favorite Vegas production. It replaced it so fast. By the end of the first act, I was like, "LIIIOOOONNNNN KIIIINNNGGGG I LOVE YOU."

Saturday was nothing special. Went out driving again, got really anxious when my dad told me we were going to learn how to park, and learned that I can't park for crap. Actually driving around was a lot better than driving in the parking lot, simply because my dad said nothing and I could focus on the road. Same for today, too, except we spent more time parking. I hate parking the car. I can't do it turning in or backing in. Turning in, I hit imaginary cars. Backing in, I cross the line and still hit imaginary cars.

Still working on NaNo, and I'm where I need to be. I'm still typing to get a head start on tomorrow's, because I know I will be busy. What makes me happy is that I finally got some time to work on my story that I hope to get published. I've been neglecting it for a while, trying to work out characters and plot points and deaths and such.

I'll hopefully be able to take a picture of my almost finished Katamari soon, and the elephant whose body is almost finished.

Four day weekend!

Where I live, anyway. I'm super happy because I get to sleep in. :D

Now, I need to work on my commissions. Three scarves (where the yarn is being supplied) and an elephant. XD I've never made an elephant before, but it looks like it'd be fun. I kind of want to make a big pink elephant based off of the flying pink elephant from the video game LSD. It's not what you think, I promise.

Now, off to do some NaNo-ing and pattern organization!

Requests?

I consider this a milestone for myself. After months of being unable to take requests, I'm back to doing it. This time around, I have to ask them to pay me a little, because I can't keep buying yarn for projects then realize I'm slowly killing my wallet. It won't be ridiculously expensive, but reasonably priced, depending on the item they want made. I'm fine with crochet or knitting, so it's all good!

My best friend, Brittany, wants a normal scarf with a fox head on one end and a tail on the other. That could cost her a little bit, simply because of the head and tail. >.< Another friend, Damien, wants two scarves. She wants the Finnish flag on one for herself, and a Swedish flag on the other for her girlfriend. Damien's girlfriend is great, so I don't mind making it for Damien to give to her. If you've seen/heard of Hetalia, you've heard of the SuFin pairing. Damien cosplays Finland, and her girlfriend is Su-san. They're so cute! >w< That's why this makes sense to me. XD

But yes. o3o I'm excited to going back to doing requests. Woooo~ I feel good

Magnetic Katamari

I found this pattern a while ago and wanted to make one for my locker so I could have color in it. My school is sixty years old! It's an old school! I'm making one in purple, light blue, and perhaps yellow or orange. I'm still deciding on the third color.

The pattern can be found here.

I'll post the results when it's complete!

Derp derp

Here I am! This is Jess!

Tensai is the Japanese word for 'genius', when it's written like this: 天才.

I'm a writing nerd who's trying to survive NaNoWriMo again this year. Why am I doing it? Because it's fun and helps me write stories I'd never get around to writing otherwise. Clearly, I'm procrastinating now. I'm 200 words shy of today's goal of roughly 3,330 words. :3 I can type pretty fast, so those will be gone in no time!

I love to write, and although I won't share what I write, I'll talk about ideas every once in a wile. I'm also an avid reader, so I'll be talking about books, too!

And I love to crochet, so I'll be posting what I'm working on here, with a link to the original pattern. I'll probably come up with my own eventually (eventually being whenever the heck I feel like it). But I work with mostly amigurumi. Very rarely do I do something that I can wear. I end up not liking it, so I tend not to do those. But blankets and scarves I like doing.
