Thoughts and pics during the break between semesters

[la_belle_laide]

Damn, I am allergic to avocados. But I love them so much. It's a forbidden love!

I got my grades in the mail yesterday. I'm relieved to have pulled off a 4.0 again. I really thought one of the teachers was going to give me a lame grade because I missed two classes due to those snowstorms (and one where they school didn't close till later.) But she was a sport, and gave me the A because I did well on the test. Very relieved! Last year when I first started, I got an A- in two classes because my Gran had just died. I guess you're supposed to report that to the school but I never did. And then when my Dad passed away I missed a final and ended up with an A- then, too. So my cumulative average is 3.987.

It's seriously not that difficult.

I'm enjoying my little two week break, spending a lot of time revising, polishing my ms, giving and receiving lots of critiques and reviews from the writing workshop, and trying really hard to make it as good as possible.

I'm also chilling, drawing, listening to music, going to the beach, playing video games, training really hard at Kung Fu, and doing tons of yardwork. In fact, just today, Mom and I finished cleaning up the entire yard. It was a massive undertaking but we finally got it done. It looks real nice out there.

I got my white lab coat in the mail. It's all starchy and new, and I absolutely didn't look like Lucrezia Crescent when I put it on. It made me feel both professional and stunningly brand new. And kind of lame. I mean, it's just massage. We need a lab coat for this? But in the clinic they want you to look all sharp. I still need the starchy white pants and white crocs.

I mentioned Kung Fu, of course. What else is new? Heh. Last night's class was one of those fabulously awesome ones. We were free to do forms, so we did a bunch of weaponless ones and then we broke out swords. It was raining a bitch, so we did them indoors. I grabbed two swords and totally nailed the butterfly twirl. I was so happy! And eventually the informal class became even less formal and a bunch of us just started doing fancy kicks and stuff like that. It was hugely fun. I would love to go to Wong Tournament this year, but of course that depends on work and money. I've always wanted to go to Wong though. *Fingers crossed*

I really thought I had something else to blather about, but I don't think I do. I'm on frakking break, I haven't been doing much. ^_^

Everything's all green, and the cherry blossoms are falling. Of course I've got a pic spam (taken with my Mom's camera which I borrowed; did I mention that my poor camera finally bit it?)




The words read, "Aloha no ka Mokupuni Lo'ihi" or, "Aloha indeed Long Island." And then Haku stood on it.




BLEEEHHH!


I AM LE BORED.


This one is my fave:

Because you can see the cherry blossoms falling all around Sano.

My new fish, an albino sucker named Ruto, and all five of my fishies in the small tank:





I had more pics of my fish in the big tank, but they somehow got lost on my hard drive. WTH?

And some nice spring photos:






(I love the dichotomy)








I guess that really is all I have to report at the moment. :)

I wanna come visit, it all looks lovely!

And I want my spring back, dammit! We're gonna have to turn the heat back on because tonight the low's 38F. Wtf, yo?!

[shonagonchan.livejournal.com]

I WISH YOU WOULD. That would be fabulous.

yeah, it's getting cold here again too. WTF is right? That ain't even correct.

ONE DAY (or freaking week!) DAMMIT I WILL!

[shonagonchan.livejournal.com]

I so very much look forward to that day. ^_^ And the world will NEVER BE THE SAME.

A dog that can write in the sand is awesome enough, but a dog that writes Hawaiian? Incredible!

So Kapunua, I was looking for your non-fan fiction on the web, because your fan fiction was so good (I write fiction too), but couldn't find any; so along the way I came across your Hawaiian dance video (with the black head dress [he said, not knowing its proper name]), and so I can assert - aside from the fact that you so obviously have mastered that dance (you embody it as if you were born several thousand miles from here) - I can assert that the video proves it's not just photographs KP. It's you. As for Elvis, your appearance belies your age. But I'll stop so as not to embarrass. Just want you to know. 'Nuff said. I'd love to read some of your non-fan fiction.

Oh my gosh, that old video! I still think it's so strange that ended up on the 'net but I don't mind. I love dancing more than, well more than many things. Thank you for saying what you did. It means to the world to me when people get that.

Once in a while I post a few excerpts / chapters of fiction on my LJ, but I keep them locked. If you had one...? :)

You mean, if I had a LJ account?

In that case, I just created one. :)

Brilliant pictures K, they make me feel all summery with all that lovely sunshine.

I'm soooooo glad that Sanos's surgery went well. Let's hope that's the last of doggy bad health for you all.
