banner annoyance and things to do
Okay. I am so fucking sick of clicking on a banner and ending up at Squirrel X's diary that I'm actually considering using up my own banner views just on the off chance that it would allow me to see something else up there. I have 20,000 to use up, but I probably never will. It seems bizarre to me to advertise a diary. I do have some amusing banners made up just in case, though. One of them lays out a detailed plan in which a squirrel blows up the white house, and another features George W. Bush with a bloody broom through his forehead. And they were made way before he committed us to his modern day crusade, so perhaps my psychic powers were trying to clue me into the hate before I actually started to feel it.
Adam is on his way to a strange interview thing at the Penn State Harrisburg campus right now. I'm somewhat confused about what it is, exactly. He's not applying (at least not now), so I don't know. Not that it really matters whether or not I know, apparently. I'm still very bitter about that. And yes, I do realize that I haven't actually stated what it is that made me so angry to begin with. It's intentional. Adam knows, and he's the only one who has to. So moving on, then.
I think I've decided pretty definitely to apply to PSA&D. Which will soon be PCA&D, much to my dismay. The name is changing from Pennsylvania SCHOOL of Art and Design to Pennsylvania COLLEGE of Art and Design - all fine and dandy, but I do like the sound of PSA&D more. And small, petty things like that are very important to me, so it bothers me. No matter, though. I still think I want to go. I mean... off-campus housing, tiny student body, and quality art education. Perhaps I could even persuade Adam to get a place with me, and then I'd be the happiest person EVER. But it remains to be seen whether or not I'll even get in, so I won't get my hopes up. I have to start working on a portfolio immediately, though. As in within the week. As in I should be doing that right this very second, but I'm not because I haven't showered and Emily is asleep and I have a paper to write for English on Thursday. I also have to file my FAFSA again, which requires tax information. Which I am very, very bad at keeping. Hopefully my mom kept the stuff from last year, because I won't get mine back until sometime in late April.
Since my plans to start my Gryffindor scarf last night went SPLAT!, I learned how to join different colors of yarn to make stripes instead. It's not very hard, actually. I was surprised. I made another stupid little square thing out of white yarn with a stripe of weird multicolored yarn. I used the yarn needles that I got last night to weave in the ends and everything. Exciting. Hopefully I'll be able to get the right size needles today sometime, because I'm seriously aching to start this thing.
Anyway... shower time. I feel gross. I'll update later with news of Project Gryffindor Scarf and anything else of interest.
Ciao.
Oh, right. Happy April Fool's Day. I have nothing planned.
