testing this out...

Did it work?

Hmm...

Commander Kip who just discovered Wordle
*sees pizza box* "Really?" *box empty* "No, not really."
Normal is overrated!

see what you can make of it

Ugh, this was so hard to make and it SHOULDN'T have been. All I had to do was rub dirt all over everything, and there was me trying every way I could think of to dye those pieces. I wash my hands of this stupid installation. Literally. Don't get me wrong, I had a blast stink-bombing the art room and spashing around in mud up to my elbows. But I'm glad this is over with.

Might I add that I LOVE HOW IT TURNED OUT?!!!

I was trying to make something that looked like samples from an archeological dig. I think it worked. YAY.

School starting again, blaargh...

Commander Kip
I bequeath to you my axe.
Normal is overrated!

not dead yet - *ghasps for air* -

- but getting there pretty quick. I NEED MY INTERNETZ, PEOPLE. Or bad things happen.

I was in Minnesota with my mom over Spring Break, and while I actually did have internet there, I was forbidding myself to even look in its direction because I'm WRITING CHAPTER TWELVE, BLAST IT ALL. I promised myself I'd finish it by the end of the break. Well. That's looking unlikely, but I at least want to push past the spot where I got stuck last time. Momentum, I tell you. Momentum is key!

And look at me, sitting on my booty in front of my blog screen. So productive.

Gads, I really need to call Lady Arin. She probably thinks I've died for real this time...

OH I FORGOT - I've read some books during break, including the first book in the new Heroes of Olypmus series, The Lost Hero. BAAAHAHA it was so much fun. I love Leo and his magic toolbelt of doom and his giant mechanical dragonthing. Yay.

Commander Kip who has way too many things she's supposed to be doing right now
She wanted me to betray you guys, and I was like, 'Pfft, right, I'm gonna listen to a face in the potty sludge.'
Normal is overrated!

documenting the epicness

Grr, pics not showing up in the right order, as per usual, but ANYWAY, I had fun at Lady Arin's house. Even though I was sick. *tries to glomp the Lady without breathing all over her*

They have a swing on a hillside. In my opinion, EVERYBODY should have a swing on a hillside. I almost DIED swinging on it. My own fault; that coat is too slick to wear in a swing, I though I was going to slide right out and fall to my death. XD

And now...
MY MISTCLOAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And the rest of my costume, but MISTCLOAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lady Arin is so good to put up with me and my silliness. She took about fifty billion pictures of me leaping off those steps, and in almost every on of them my hair is getting caught under my nose and I look like I have a ridiculous mustache. Anyway, there's my knives in there too, which used to be a heinous evil pair of death scissors, except I took them apart and now they're my knives. And I do love them so.

We had a wonderful random time. We watched movies (When Harry Met Sally, BWAAH so cute), ate awesome chili, slept more than usual, talked about whatever, took ridiculous pictures that involved me wearing a giant pregnant-lady nightgown with a pillow stuffed down the front and Lady Arin waving one of my pistols around whilst the sidekick gave her bunny ears, spent some time flopsying about in the woods, climbing trees, toting gear, shooting stuff, laughing way too hard at everything, doing slightly dangerous or stupid things like swinging on random vines out over the creek, without knowing whether said vines would hold my weight or whether I could actually keep a grip on them. Luckily, I somehow managed both. Oh, and there was also a swamp involved, which Lady Arin magnificently drove us through at least five times while I was there. WITHOUT GETTING STUCK. And then we'd go zinging out into the road like a friggen slingshot. It was such an adventure... you don't even know.

So that pretty much sums up my epic weekend at the Lady's house. Then I came home to an absolute boatload - no, an ARKLOAD of homework because we've had like six snow days and we're so so so far behind. And then my cold went away! *skips about squeeing*

Oh, speaking of skipping and squeeing, listen to this:

It's hilarious, because I actually really like the lyrics, but I can't take the thing seriously because of that super dippy tune; all I can think of is little hearts and rainbows and smiley faces like one of those Japanese pop music videos. Whatever, it makes me smile. *smiles*

Commander Kip who actually didn't have time to make that blog post... *sheepface*

*yells across entire house* DO YOU EVER THINK ABOUT KISSING?

Normal is overrated!
