Lazy Days

Yeah, I made another new layout. Shocker, right? I just saw the base and instantly fell in love with it. No kidding. I’ve been in love with multi-colored woods. Besides, I wasn’t about to keep, er, ‘borrowing’ Jenn’s background. I’ve been neglecting Temporarily-Insane for a while. But, it’s for my Warrior Cats website; I did, after all, spend a month or two on hiatus with it. I think I did good, but that’s up to the natural Warrior cats consumer. I may actually be neglecting it a tiny bit more, but not forever; that I promise you. Now we’re on to you, thee who reads my blogs.

Well, other than sitting on my butt all day and coding and graphics designing and typing, life has been quite boring for me. (But that is my normal, I suppose). My brother did get a hair-cut; and he looks really weird in it. I need an inch or two cut off before I can sit on my hair, which will be ‘dead’ and have split ends. Look at me, ranting about hair like a little school girl. So un-Kayla like. I started my new cycle, Technology Education, on Monday (but I never really got around to blogging about it). The teacher is, literally not jokingly, a homosexual. I, honestly, didn’t care about this, but other kids acted to weird. Who cares? Leave it to our school; the racist, sexist, and many other things ending with a ‘ist’ school. Well, anything that’s not good. In fact, the only thing that I would say about the teacher in a negative way is that she’s letting me and my friend, Carly, into a room with saws, knives, scissors, hot glue guns, and wood chippings in together. Hell, going in alone is bad enough! We’re violent with tools, usually only at each other. So hopefully it won’t get too bad.

The days have been warm on my skin, even with the breezes. The days have been, how we can say, lazy. I opened the windows in our house, and it felt nice. It should stay warm for at least the week; tomorrow is supposed to be almost sixty. If you know New Jersey half as well as I do, you know we got bombed with at least three feet of snow and twenty to negative degrees for us. It feels like seventy out. My nostalgia has quelled. Substantially I may add. I don’t feel it much- either that it or it has become to big and dominant that I simply can’t feel it anymore. Either way, it’s gone for now. Which is good, because it really started to piss me off. It’s almost nine o’clock now and still fairly warm, in the mid four-tees. I did close the windows for the morning, all of them, but the house feels nice and cool, and laying my head on the window pane is oddly soothing.

Ah, listen to me! I don’t sound like a thirteen year old girl anymore, do I? I’m going into one of my freak spells. Better snap out of it before I pyschologically become eighteen trapped in a girl’s body.

What about TI, you ask? Just the question needed! I plan on adding three signatures, and two avatars tomorrow. Possibly more things for the Portfolio. Actually, likely, as in the end my Portfolio may become more greater than my designs. People like to look at that, but not a lot of people use them. Only layouts, or sometimes avatars. But they’re still fun to make, and no one really reads portfolios anyway. Too long. Gah, sorry for the mini-rant there. Ha-ha-ha.

Some Time Off

No, no, no. Not a hiatus. Simply, today is a day off from school! Teacher in-service. I don’t feel sorry for them, that’s for sure! My father has gone to New York to see my sister; my mother was supposed to go, but she got sick, so I’m stuck with her, but I guess it’s not that big of a problem. She’s sick, right? Bed for a long time, house to myself (my brother is ignoring me right now, I don’t know why). So I get some much needed relaxation. School is becoming really stressful for me right now. My math teacher threatened to send me to guidance because I didn’t do three out of four homework assignments. I think she thinks she’s too good to ask me herself. I dunno, I’m probably only saying that as the student and feeling a grudge, but really. I need psychiatric help because I forgot to do my math homework . Weird… right?

So, I get a day off, a time to write a little blog, and then be bored for the rest of the day. Same old, same old.

In school we’re learning about Rwanda. I know a lot of you don’t know what that is, so I’ll be clear; in 1994, there was a hundred days of genocide in Rwanda, Africa. Over 800,000 people died. That’s 85% of the Tutsi people. Killed by Hutus. And it makes me feel kind of racist, when the UN (United Nations) pulled out of there because there was nothing in Rwanda for us anymore and that Tutsi and Hutu people looked nothing like us, so we shouldn’t care. I mean, there was that genocide around Greece and we all rushed to help. (I forget the name of the place where it was, but it was over two years before I was born.) God bless America, right? Ugh, we were watching a video of the aftermath. It was almost as bad as the movie on Ebola our Science teacher made us watch! And I wouldn’t watch that with a 40 foot pole! The worst part is, most people don’t know much about it. No one even made it news. It was so… disappointing. All of the class was really depressed after watching it. And a little grossed out. Really makes you wonder where we’re going, huh?
