JUST CUT IT OFF!

Today felt like 100 degrees, though it was only in the 90s. Add humidity and just shoot me now. Oh and guess what I was wearing? A black turtleneck, jeans, black boots, and a navy hat. I'm a genius, I know. You may be wondering how stupid I am for wearing that. #1 It's cold in my school. I had summer school all day not because I'm stupid, but because I wanted to get a course out of the way for next year. #2 I was robbing a house and that is the appropriate attire. It was for theater camp. I was portraying my character Penny Howard (a 20 year old British art student) after she robbed a house with her friend. We had a prompt and that's what we came up with.
Back to the heat, I love the warmth. I love summer because it isn't freezing out and it's nice and sunny most of the time. But I have dark hair and it's medium length. And I hate it. My head is feels so heavy and just too warm. So I wanted to cut my hair off to a shorter length, but my family advises against it. So to them I say "Piss off and let my do what I want with my hair." Normally I listen to my family's advice, but today I just kinda said "Screw you." I'm not gonna get a bad haircut with no other opinions and just be screwed, but I'm just not wanting to deal with it. I'll talk to my hairdresser and see what she thinks. Because usually (in terms of hair) my family is wrong.
Wow, a paragraph about hair. What have I come to?! Well, now that summer is here, I can focus on writing more. I haven't really added anything to CBaHC, but I started a new story just for fun. It's called The Crystal Castle and basically surrounds my inside jokes, but the darker side. Like the kid from my angry rant. He's my "high priest" in the whole inside family tree/cult thing. I get into a fight with him and kick him out. It's quite nice. And there's an adorable goblin named Odaie (Oh-day-ee)! I scare the crap out of him, but it's made okay with a glass of cocoa. So basically a guy named Ross goes out to "turn the goddess good" because of a request of his dead sister Elodie. Here's the "legend" of the goddess in the crystal castle as told by Grandmother Oddy.
Once upon a time, there was a castle made of crystals in the fiery deserts. It was a beacon of light, the sun’s beams shattering as soon as it hit the green and white crystal towers. In this castle there lived a goddess as beautiful as she was villainous. She lived with her goblin servants and caused trouble from her rooms. She would stand in her green glass study over an orb that showed her the world. When she would touch the orb, the smoke inside would swirl faster and show her who ever she wished. She would touch the image of the person and close her eyes. And she would imagine what ever she wished and the person would experience it. Sometimes the person caught fire, sometimes their heart would suddenly stop. Others would fall into a deep depression and take their own lives. From her crystal castle, she would cause her mischief and no one ever stood in her way. For if they tried, she would know, and they would be dead before they could even see her magnificent castle.
            “Legend has it, that if you travel west far enough, the sand will turn to glass. For a week into the glass one must go before being able to see her castle, if she lets you live that long,” Grandmother Oddy recited to her grandchildren.
 I have twelve pages written up and maybe I'll post it on deviantart or maybe even a new blog. I doubt a new blog though. I don't think I'll ever finish it. But yeah. I've been talking with a friend (and my high priestess in the book) who is also writing a book (the main character is based off of me and she's ginger! YES!) and she's really been helping me out.
So, Doodle of the Day:

 Here's Odaie the little goblin that works in the crystal castle. He's such a cutie and I hope to bring him into the story more. This was just a doodle of him from my health workbook (because the class was super easy and super boring most of the time.) I also drew the goddess, Meredia, and a few other doodles, so I'll be posting those with hope, maybe even some of them colored and all nice and digital! Yay!
 -Cheers!

My knight in battered armor

So yesterday I did meet James Fairclough and Shane Adams from Full Metal Jousting. It was an absolute blast! Shane is super nice and James is such a gentleman.
So we woke up super early to drive three hours to get to the the Hanna City Olde English Faire. I was such a city girl on the way there. I got excited over the huge fields and the occasional cow. Not to mention I was gushing over how cute a small town we passed through was...
We got there at around 10:30, an hour before the first joust. That's when I met Shane and started talking to him. He told us about how he was trying to bring jousting back and all the politics that go into getting a second season of FMJ. He was so inspirational. It took him 20 years to get his dream up and going and a few years, he was living in his truck. In mid conversation, I kinda looked over to the side (because my mom was doing a lot of the talking) and I saw James walking over. He came over and recognized me! He didn't say it verbally, but he recognized me! And then my mom did some more talking with him too.
Look at that! See?! I did meet them! James only participated in the gauntlet the first joust, but he kicked butt in the second joust! He went up against Robert Combs and TJ Duquette and won both times! He has skill. But oh my gosh those two are fantastic! If you EVER have a chance to meet either of them, go. You will never regret it, even if it is a three hour car ride.
And James told me about an FMJ tournament in Madison, Wisconsin while I was there. I'm getting my friends and we're going. It's in August and more of the guys will be there. I believe he said Rope, both Joshes, and Jake were a few that were going. I can't freaking wait!
There's your doodle. It's from a while back and was inspired by the music from Riverdance's Fire dance.
-Cheers!

I'm going to meet James Fairclough... OH MY FROGS!

So this'll be quick because I have stuff to do.
James just messaged me on Facebook and told me he is going to be jousting in my area and ask me to let him know if he was going. OH MY FROGS!!! And my parents said yes to it (but there was no "no" option for it...) and I'M GOING TO MEET JAMES FREAKING FAIRCLOUGH AND SHANE AND OTHER GUYS FROM FMJ!!! AND HE INVITED ME!!! HOLY MOTHER OF DAVE THE DEMON LORD THIS IS FANTASTIC! Well I have to calm down now and do my health homework but I just felt the need to share that...
-Cheers!

Tread lightly

You know what freaking pisses me off to no end? Kiss asses. Am I the only one? While I do enjoy a compliment every now and then, some people do it to no end. I was texting a guy I know and he's a MAJOR kiss ass. I know he wants to start a relationship but he doesn't understand that I'm still in mental recovery from a breakdown (that he knows I went through) and I HAVE ZERO INTEREST! I don't know how he doesn't know. I ignored his texts until today. So we're texting and he starts doing this whole role play thing, which I just played along to because I didn't care what we were talking about I was so bored. So I was my usual character (The Warrior Goddess. Remember the family tree? Yeah. He's in on that.) and he was my high priest. Then he pulls this random crap about some king and an invasion, but the details change. So I call him out on it and basically claimed that he was lying. The one sign of lying that really let's you know something's up is changing stories. It's rule number one! So he's all offended and trying to lie his way out of it and I call his bull.
Then, we start talking out of this whole role play crap. The whole "what's up?" sort of thing. I tell him about my internet connection acting funky... well... my mom was thinking it was funky when it wasn't and I made a joke about my mom. Then he starts asking questions about my mom and my relationship. It was like, "Mom... idiot? what? Why is your mom an idiot? Do you not like her? Step mom? Don't you love your mom?" WHAT THE F***?! It is none of his f***ing business! I don't get along with my mother 95% of the time and quite frankly, I don't think of her as my mother. This is where he crosses my boundary. I tell him I don't want to talk about it and he respects that. So I'm calm now that I dodged that bullet. Then he asks, "Are you still willing to do that relationship?" and he adds crap like "I understand if you don't because you like someone else or you aren't ready which I respect." And before that I was texting my other friend about it because she's playing wing woman for him and was asking me that question before he actually asked it. That just pisses me off. I can't stand people getting a middle man to do all the work for them. I understand if it's because you can't directly contact the other person, but he can text me. There was no need to involve my friend! I really just wanted to text him back "PISS THE F*** OFF YOU KISS ASS!" but I didn't.
I told him no because he had to get his wing woman to ask me first. And then he was denying asking her to do that. I believe him on that one. Then he's starting to apologize and I can sense the whole pity card being played. I have a pretty good bull shit detector, and it was going off. I called him out on it and he started ranting about how mean I was and how he was just trying to be nice. Then, he started apologizing after that.
This is where I said "PISS THE F*** OFF YOU KISS ASS!" but in a different way. I said,
"Well I'm sorry that I seem mean but it's who I am! If you don't like it, screw you! I'm blunt and mean, but at least I'm honest! And I'm not a coward! I don't care what you or the rest of the world thinks because I will NOT change myself in order to please anyone. I have lived through hell only relying on myself. I should have just kept to myself and fixed it because I'm obviously the only person I can rely on."
So he's like, oh you're interesting and pretty and I just want the best for you. Like hell you do you self serving ass! You just want a relationship. I know the way he flirts with girls! So I tell him to back off and don't try to get any closer and he comes back with.
"Okay, fine. I'm sorry. All I ever wanted was to give you someone to be nice to you and to be your companion to treat you right, and to love you for you. But obviously you don't want that. So I'm sorry for trying that"
 He obviously doesn't know me since that is the opposite of what I want. I want someone who can put up with me at my worst and who I can trust. If he loves me for me in the process, awesome. Maybe something can happen, but I'm still in mental recovery. I can't love yet. And he's a f***ing 8th grader (incoming freshman). I'm going into sophomore year of high school and I still don't have a clue about what love really is and I am mature for my age. So I didn't respond. Basically if he tries to text me or even talk to me any time in the near future (though I'll probably be over this tomorrow), I will tell him to piss off. I don't care. I could be the villain for all I care.I will tell him to piss the f*** off.
And there I am, on my throne as a villain. I may be the Warrior Goddess, but I am fine with being a villain with that title. I don't tolerate liars, thieves, cowards and kiss asses. If that makes me the villain, I'll play the villain. I'm already the villain in my own story, so you can take your hero crap somewhere else. You either love me or hate me. Nothing in between. So the part of the world that doesn't like me, piss off. I'll see you in my throne room where I'll be on the thrown and you'll be on your knees. Tread lightly. If you lie to me, you will pay. And that is not a threat. That is a promise.

Geeze! Sorry for the angry rant! This was fairly recent, like earlier tonight recent, so I guess this is more detailed than what it should have been. Until next time! (when I promise I'll have a happy entry)
-Cheers!

SWEET FREEDOM... until Monday...

Finals are done and summer is here. Well, until Monday for me... Yep, I have summer school for (I think) 2 weeks before I can just relax. 7:30 - 3(or 4) every day. It's not that  bad though. In the morning I have Health class (which allows me to take Sales in the school year... yay?) and for the rest of the afternoon I have theater! Yay! I can be a mongoose again without anyone questioning why! Well... I may not get to be a mongoose again, but it's still gonna be a blast. I guess that doesn't leave a lot of time for writing in CBaHC, but that's okay. Did I tell you last week? Or did you check the page? I FINALLY FINISHED THE BATTLE SCENE!!!! The only problem I face now is how to get them back on the ship...
Oh and in other news, my twitter account almost got hacked. Yep. I clicked a link, tried to sign in, and got booted out. I texted my friend (who private messaged me the link... or so I thought) and she didn't know what was going on. She had been hacked and I was about to. Great. So, thanks to my awesome quick thinking, I changed my password and waited. The person tried to hack me again, but I was too smart for them! Ha ha hacker, ha ha.
Also, I'm seeing The Avengers again to day with my little brother and friend Hadley. She's going to be fangirling over Thor and Loki while I fangirl over Captain America. My brother is going to hate us for this... Oh well. He wanted to go! In honor of us going, I drew Loki for her.
So that's all the news for me... I'm trying to fix a Jedward picture up because the original sucked. I still can't believe I tweeted them a picture of the original... FFFFFUUUUU!!!! What ever. I just want the 26th to come sooner so I can get their album... I'm not a fangirl, I swear!
-Cheers!
