I turned 18 today, six minutes ago! So, what does this mean.. I can smoke cigs, star in porn movies, and order stuff from infomericals!

SHWEET! XDD


.. now.. back to my homework.. lol!! what a sad way to spend my first hour of legal adultdom. XD

In two days, on 11/20, I will be an adult.


..woah. where'd that come from??


(but.. if you feel like getting me something.. you could always check out my wishlist.. ^_^;;; [link])

You know, I hate it when I don't follow my gut feeling about people.

I'm usually right, and I guess this just proves it.

Found some REALLY old art of mine while browsing through one of the bajilion internet accounts I have (90% now defunct/not updated). Most of the stuff on the website I uploaded back in middle school, as early as... late 6th grade, I think.

What saddens me is that I haven't really improved that much, comparatively, since then. APs, extracurriculars, all that took up the time I used to spend drawing obsessively. And I'm not exaggerating. It was OBSESSIVE.

It's just as well, I guess. If I had continued practicing at the manical pace I kept during middle school, I probably would have burned out. Or so I tell myself so I don't get upset... but whatever, this is something I've regretted for years. No use continuing to dwell in the past when I'm here to make a new beginning.

Here's the beginning of the old gallery, if anyone's curious: [link]

Finishing my application for the Daily Bruin today.. so much other work to do.. but i'm not as sad anymore.

I would like to know how it is that a cold medication can simultaneously trigger these two different side effects:
1. drowsiness in adults, and
2. agitation and excitement in children.

How is that possible?

I also have decided that, when I grow up and rule the world, I am going to outlaw all packaging on any medication that advertises a "pleasant cherry flavor". They LIE. Cherry flavoring in medication ALWAYS tastes like I'm being punished for something.

And it's always so deceptive. The packaging features plump, juicy red cherries, plucked at the peak of ripeness, glistening with dew, just begging to be eaten. You can revel in the sweetness of Nature's bounty! It won't taste like you're consuming small encapsulated packets of hatred for your taste buds, nope! Oh, how the truth differs from the packaging...

But I suppose if they put a picture of a person's face at the exact moment of tasting the artificially-flavored cherry medication, that look of abject horror and suffering would tend to chase off a lot of people.

(I'll also admit that the cherry-flavored Pepto-Bismol tablets are not so evil. Then again, compared to the original flavor, even Medicinal Cherry tastes good.)

But! On the bright side, I am feeling better.
