    So it all started when one day, sort of jokingly, I said I would draw Iron Man on my friend's whiteboard. Then this happened.
     

     
    It ended up being much better than I thought it would so I decided I would grace my own white board with the presence of Captain America (after buying new pens). And thus he was drawn.
     

     
    I got a lot of compliments and requests for drawings, but I have yet to do any because most people don't actually know what they want, and it takes a good hour to draw them.
     
    I did get two expressive notes of admiration left on Captain America. One which read "DAM SON" and the other, "that's fucking insane".
     
    I did draw a picture on another friend's board. He didn't want a superhero though, he chose Belle, as in from Beauty and the Beast. Since his name is Brandon and he's rooming with my EX I (ceverly) title the drawing "Brandon and the Beast". Unfortunately someone later erased the a. I don't have a picture of that one, but it was pretty good too.

    That just sounds stupid doesn't it? Especially when it's about a dull, plastic, toy knife.
    Ever since my dad has gotten into the business of designing knives aimed towards helping kids understand knife safety he's gotten a lot of these comments.
     
    The knives are advertised as being able to cut through warm butter, and it's true! It's funny how worried about kids having these as toys, especially when they think they can be sharpened and used as a weapon.
     
    Here's one of those people who made a comment about my dad's knife, and probably wishes they hadn't brought it up.
     
     

     
    I believe it was found in the comments section for the knife on thinkgeek

    ...so long as you have insurance.
     
    As you may or may not know I just got back from a family vacation to Japan. When we came in the kitchen there was a small puddle of water near the fridge. Sometimes that happens in our house with the fridge and dishwasher so it didn't seem all that strange. In fact it could have been the person that was house-sitting for us had dropped some ice on the floor. So when my parents moved the fridge back just to check, we were surprised to realize there was a leak in the water hose thing for the fridge and water was soaking into the floor (which is bad).
     
    I was gone for a couple weeks and forgot that this had happened when I got back I was informed of the schedule for all the contract work being done. But since this involves water damage there's a whole process of drying out the floor that has to be done before they can replace the tile and fix the fridge. Lucky for us our insurance covers the cost of the repairs for the floor.
     
    If you've never had work done on your kitchen then you may not realize that working on the kitchen floor means that everything has to be taken out to access it, like all those silly little appliances such as your fridge, dishwasher, and stove. Who needs to eat anyways? Not me.
     
    Why insurance is awesome reason #2:
    When you no longer have a stove, your fridge is in the dining room, and your counters and cabinets are inaccessible, it makes cooking impossible. So we have to eat all our meals out. But isn't that expensive? Darn right it is. That's why the insurance is covering the cost for us to go out to eat for all our meals. As someone that loves food almost as much as her cat, this is a most excellent deal.
     
     
    TL;DR
     
    Flood your kitchen, get free food.

    Eating Disorder

    By Mightymags,

    Today I found out my sister has an eating disorder. It's hit me harder than I thought.
     
    I came back to my dad's today after being in Japan for a week. About an hour after I got home my step mom asked me to go outside and talk to her. Usually these talks don't go well for me, I was getting frantic trying to think about what I could have done this time. But I couldn't think of anything they would care about (or at least know about) that I had done since probably middle school.
     
    My step mom looked extremely concerned about something and she kept messing with a tangled ball of yarn, searching for the right words.
     
    "Has Caley said anything to you about an eating disorder."
     
    No, of course not. I don't pay attention to what she eats. I never sat with her at lunch at school, but then again I never ate anything for lunch myself. I tried to remember any hints towards this behavior. Nothing.
     
    My step mom went on to explain that my sister had left her email open on my step mom's computer and she saw a response a girl had made to a question my sister posted on Yahoo Answers. My sister admitted on their to having an eating disorder for about a year now. This is something I never expected to affect my family. I've never been able to consider having an eating disorder because I love food and I'm not self-conscious about my body. Whenever I feel fat or like I ate too much I just go for a run, or eat something healthy for my next meal.
     
    I feel bad because this has gone on for so long and no one has noticed. We live in the same house and the walls are thin. How did we not notice? Right now she doesn't know that my step mom and I know and no one is going to tell my dad any time soon.
     
    She doesn't have a healthy lifestyle in the first place, but she does dance a lot. She's always been very conscious about weight, but my whole family has. She always makes comments about me being tiny, but I'm just a small person in general. I can understand why she feels pressured because of being a dancer and from being around me.
     
    I feel very lost in this situation, I've only ever had one friend admit she had an eating disorder before but hers had been getting better. I want to help her and tell her that I know, but that will only make her mad. I think my step mom feels awful that it's been going on this long and she didn't know. Until she decides my sister needs professional help all I can think of to do is watch her eating habits and keep her in a positive mind-set.
     
     
    Thus concludes this rather lengthy post.

    There's a teacher in my middle school who has all of her 7th grade students write letters to themselves to be delivered just before they graduate. She writes her own letter to the students graduating wishing us luck and letting us know how she's been.
     
    Today I got mine back. Unfortunately I have a pretty good memory so I remember that a lot of the stuff I wrote wasn't very interesting. Despite that I found some of the stuff I included was not what I had expected.
     
    Here's a few of the parts that stand out:
     
    "Just in case you can't remember what grade you wrote this in it was in seventh grade."
    Really? Did I think I was going to be so old that I would forget that? Obviously 5 years seemed a lot longer back then.
     
    "the third shortest person in school"
    That's pretty specific, but sad. I'm proud to say I'm finally taller than 5 feet, but there's still a high possibility this is also true in high school...or anywhere I go really.
     
    "I have learned all the different parts of speech and lots of other grammar rules"
    Of all the things...too bad I don't remember any of that now.
     
    "I learned that boys are still immature and I hope they have grown up by the time you read this."
    Don't worry 7th grade me, they most certainly haven't.
     
    "I also learned that some people are very annoying like Rochelle"
    There's actually a funny story behind this. Rochelle was and still is my best friend. We got in an argument the day that this was due. I knew that I would regret saying something completely rude about her or taking her out of my list of friends, so I included a subtle reminder that we were arguing, even though I knew it wouldn't last.
     
    What's funny is that that was the one line I remember writing. For five years the memory of writing that has stuck with me. Who knows why.
     
    "I hope you have not given into peer pressure and have not gotten pregnant from some random guy"
    Well, okay then. That part I don't remember writing. Obviously I thought high school was all sex, drugs, and alcohol probably based on the stereotypes. From what I know now though that's pretty much what the middle school has turned into since I left there. But at least I know I fulfilled one of my expectations...

    This is going to be quick, don't worry.
     
    For my AP English class we had to analyze the speech Obama gave recently regarding the gun control legislation being voted against by the Senate. This isn't an attack on him, merely an observation. I really don't like politics so I don't pay much attention to the speeches that politicians give.
     
    I noticed while analyzing this speech that Obama's speeches have no substance. The words are poetic sure, but far from being memorable. No wonder people think he's such a great orator, a first grader would be able to understand what he was saying, in fact I would be worried for anyone that didn't. There's a reason the greatest speeches given earn that title: there is significance in the metaphors they create that inspires people. The greatest speakers and writers do not rely on dramatic pauses and pathos-laced arguments to capture a crowd, instead they rely on their conviction.
  11. Mightymags
    One of my greatest flaws has been that I'm generally rude, annoying, and unhappy. I've begun to realize many of the things I do that caused me to be unhappy, and as a result caused people not to want to be around me. Over the past couple years I've worked on trying to be a better person and here are the top ten guidelines I try to live by.
     
    1. Socialize
    Whether it's joining a sport, band, theater, a club, or just hanging out with friends or family. Get out and do more things with people. You'll be surprised by the good times your missing out on when you just sit around at home. There's no excuse for being busy, I'm an insanely busy person and I still manage to find time for anything I really want to do. You don't have friends you say? I'm a huge introvert but I still enjoy occasional nights out with friends. No need to push yourself too far out of your comfort zone, but you may be surprised to find out that zone includes more than you thought.
     
    2. Be Cautiously Optimistic
    Don't become so sure of yourself that you become disappointed (or embarrassed) when things don't work out the way you planned. Be confident in yourself and others to do your absolute best and know that no matter what things will work out.
     
    3. Take Every Opportunity
    Obviously this doesn't mean do every single thing possible. No, that requires time turners, and clones. I mean when you're presented with an opportunity (travel, school, job, etc.) then do everything possible to make it happen. It's the cliche idea of "you'll never know unless you try". Get off the computer, get out and do more things; do bigger and greater things.
     
    4. Listen - Genuinely
    When someone is talking to you - even if you're not actually listening - listen. Learn how to fake small talk, learn how to seem like what someone just said to you is the most interesting thing in the world. Make eye contact, tilt your head slightly, and concentrate on what someone is saying. That gesture builds trust. People are more likely to want to be friends with someone they feel they can trust. People also like talking about themselves, so always ask questions. You'll learn how fake politeness and small talk are, but people will trust you more.
     
    5. Stop Making Excuses
    You know that thing that you really and I mean REALLY don't feel like doing? Why? Do you have an actual reason or are you just too lazy/tired/unsocial? Exactly, you don't have a good reason do you. Get out there and get stuff accomplished, you'll feel better about yourself. In addition to this, do more things with people. Even if socializing sounds like the worst thing in the world. It's not often that you go do something with friends and say that you didn't have a good time.
     
    6. Challenge Yourself
    Don't take the easy way. What's more impressive, the guy who played it safe and works in a cubicle every day? Or the guy who has a wicked scar from that one time he wrestled a bearshark? Being average never impressed anyone. Why do girls go for bad guys? Because they take risks - they aren't boring. Challenge yourself mentally too. If you're getting all A's or a 4.0 or whatever and you aren't taking the highest level classes you can, you aren't challenging yourself. Quite playing life on easy.
     
    7. Appreciate What's Around You
    This is another really cliche thing, but appreciate the scenery as well as the people around you. Whenever I drive places I try to notice every beautiful thing on my way to where I'm going. Whether it's the rolling hills, the snow-capped mountain in the distance, or the way the sunlight hits the roof of a building as it sinks below the horizon. I know I probably won't live in Oregon forever so I'm trying to appreciate it's beauty now. Do this also with the people in your life, never forget how great they are.
     
    8. Travel
    Some people don't enjoy traveling as much as others. I am not one of those people. I will go anywhere with anyone in an instant. I love to see the world. But if that's not for you that's fine. I still highly encourage people to travel outside their comfort zone to experience another culture for a while. It's important to be able to view the world from different perspectives. It keeps you open minded.
    9. Head Up, Shoulders Back
    Nothing deep or profound about this one. Just when you walk anywhere, keep your head up, look forward. I realized in middle school that I always stared at the ground when I walked and I had never really noticed that. When I made a point to stand taller and look directly in front of me when I walked I became more confident and self-assured. I'm still not a really outgoing person, but I felt better about myself and that was what mattered.
    10. Smile More
    This is by far the most important advice I have to give. During my training for work they told us to look at people (especially when we were having a bad day) and say to yourself: "I like you". Now I at first I thought that was cheesy and I'm not going to say that's the part that worked, but it made me realize how important your attitude towards others affects your own mood. When I walk around snapping at people things get tense and silent. When I smile and say hi to people, not only do I have great conversations but it actually puts me in a good mood. Smiling is contagious.
  12. Mightymags
    Brace yourselves for a boring blog post, you've been warned. I really just felt like writing something.
     
    Today began like most other days (see it's boring already), except I realized I forgot to shave my legs. I got a scholarship application finished and in the mail so I was feeling pretty good about that. I got to school and realized I had no cash on me so that meant no coffee (a very sad thing ). Before school even started I got my phone stolen and hid by my friends and it was also brought to my attention that they had my sunglasses I thought I had been missing (but they still won't give them back or tell me who has them).
     
    First period I got to do a timed write about North Korea's nuclear threats, except there was no prompt, we had to make one up. Also when the teacher walked out of the room I reached down to grab my phone so I could look up a word, but OH YEAH, my friends have my phone.
     
    Second period involved hunting down my phone that had been hidden in my friend's magic box (as in the card game) and then hanging out in my Calc teacher's room getting his help on Four Pics, One Word.
     
    Two minutes before third period I passed a classroom my friend was in because she was a student aide in the class. She asked if I had studied for the vocab quiz. Then I had an OH SHIT moment, I knew there was something I was supposed to do. Of course it has to be the longest vocab quiz we've had in AP Gov the day I forget to study. So I'm pretty sure I bombed that.
     
    Then there was an assembly about the male-pageant that's tomorrow which was alright. It's one of my last assemblies and it made me miss cheering in them. As the students were filing out I was surrounded by other seniors and I saw one of my friends laughing through the crowd. It was the innocent, care-free laugh where he throws his head back. But all of a sudden it hit me, the reality of graduating, how all these people and all these memories will be forgotten. High school is when we have it the easiest and we have four years to enjoy life, blow money on things that don't matter, and spend time with friends without any serious worries (for most people). I felt like I blinked and it was all gone, I didn't take advantage of it, heck I can barely remember most of it. I savored that moment, tried to remember every detail about how it felt, I almost cried thinking about it. All so I could write it down later (as in now).
     
    Fourth period I took an IQ test and found out I'm well above average (not quite genius, Kolth if you read this there's no need to gloat, I'm still better at riddles). I probably would have gotten a few more points if I had understood that the questions worded strangely were done so on purpose, some of those threw me off.
     
    Fifth period was just band, played some piccolo, the usual.
     
    After that I left for a track meet and nearly died on the boring, 2 hour bus ride there. Since they split up girls and guys on the buses it was even worse. I have no female friends in track, so I had no one to talk to.
     
    When we got there we found out guys pole vault would go first (which is very unusual) and that threw everyone off because girls were used to going first. BUT my VERY attractive friend that goes to the school we were at came to see me. It was really great seeing him again because the next (and probably last) time I'll see him will be at the State Band Competition. Then I lied on their turf field and got stupid fake grass all over my butt.
     
    On the way back we stopped for dinner and I had a really nice conversation with a friend that's in band and also in pole vaulting with me, pretty much my only friend in track. I got to know a lot about him and that was really nice. I think he almost started crying at one point because it got pretty personal. But I could relate to everything he was saying, he's like the younger, male version of me.
     
    After that was another insanely boring and annoying bus ride. I tried to sleep but that didn't work. And now here I am, finishing up what's probably my longest blog post, and also probably the most boring. If you read this far congratulations, here have a cookie! *gives cookie*
     
    *drinks soda* umm thanks for stopping by?
     
    You can leave now.
     
     
     
    Really.
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    Goodnight!

    My little sister is the cutest child. She's the youngest child (4 years old) and I'm the next youngest (almost 18) so there's a huge age difference. But the fact that she's grown up in a more mature household without any kids her age has made her have an interesting and creative perspective on life. Since I'm watching her right now I decided to ask her some questions and see what she answers. Enjoy!

    I want to be a costume for Halloween.
     
     
     
     
    Then the interview started going downhill so I ended it there.

    On Death

    By Mightymags,

    Sorry this is going to be long, but I won't feel better until write down what's been going through my mind today.
     
    This part is about my grandma...
     
    Just over a year ago my family received some devastating news, my grandma was diagnosed with cancer. It came as a shock to everyone, she was one of the healthiest, most positive people I knew. I was never really close to her but I respected her a lot. I went over to her house all the time when I was little, and until about middle school. She was the grandma that loved nothing more than spending time with family and letting us eat ice cream for breakfast when we spent the night. My grandpa goes on trips all the time, leaving the country at least twice a year, but she never wanted to go with him.
     
    I remember one day, years ago, it was just the two of us in her kitchen talking about something (I don't remember how the conversation started), but what she said to me next has been something I've always remembered: "After I die I want people to remember me as a good person". I felt awkward at the time, not realizing how prophetic her words would be. I didn't want to think about her dying then. But I didn't have a doubt then - and I don't now - that she will be remembered as anything less than the gracious and considerate human she was. The last thing she said to me was "thank you", as I hugged the fragile shell of what was left of her before I had to leave.
     
    This part is about me...
     
    Leaving my grandma's house this morning I saw her laying on the couch, knowing it would probably be the last time I would see her. But I tried not to think about it, just as I had done for the past year. I've never been one to think of myself in times of a crisis, only of others. My first thoughts as I walking into the lunchroom to see my sister in tears was that I needed to do whatever I could to make her feel better. She told me what had happened, even though I knew as soon as I saw her. The first thing I did was call my dad and get her excused from school so she could leave when I had to for track. The whole time I tried not to think about it. During the next few classes was the hardest. I distracted myself with playing in band, but it wasn't easy. When I got to calculus I just listened as the teacher went over problems I already had the answer to. I tried not to think about it.
     
    Finally I was able to leave school, but I tried not to think about it. I took her home and went to the track meet. I realized how selfish I was. I skipped practice last week to hang out with friends but I wouldn't miss this to be with my family. I had to be the strong one, that's how my family sees me. I don't cry, nothing bothers me. My friends hugged me and asked if I was okay, I told them I was, but I wasn't so I changed the subject or told them to worry about my little sister instead of me. I tried not to think about it and I almost believed I was okay myself. After the track meet I went to youth group, another distraction. I took my friend home from that, I even helped her get asked to prom today. But the minute I was finally alone it hit me. I started crying the instant I begin driving away back to my house. I couldn't stop crying.
     
    It wasn't the same crying from the pain of a break up. This is the first person I've been close to that has died. I don't really know how to handle it. The only reason I'm not crying now is because my dad is still awake and I don't want him to know it's bothering me. I'll just continue being the strong one right now, doing whatever I can to help out my family because that's what I've always done.

    Pikachu Drawings

    By Mightymags,

    These are some drawings of Pikachu that I did quite a while ago. The pictures are terrible but I'd have to find them again to take better ones. I drew the first one without Ash's hat then someone requested I do the one with the hat...but I never ended up giving it to him.

    I decided instead of posting any pictures I draw in separate threads I might as well make a blog and have them all in one place.
     
    Here's my most recent drawing of Derpy. It was a pretty quick drawing. It looks really messy because I had to use my little sister's crayons to color it. I didn't have the right colors for the hair or body so I only colored her eyes...or at least attempted to. I honestly don't like it very much...

    This is just something I thought I would share since I've never really told anyone this and I didn't know where else to write about it.
     
    There are moments in life that are so profound (or emotional) that they make you want to cry because you're overcome with emotion. For some of us it's the death of someone, or it could be as simple as a leaf gently tumbling across the pavement on a quiet street on a still morning. I could write a whole post about profound moments, and maybe I will.
     
    For me, there's one thing that will consistently get to me. Whenever I see someone who I can tell has been through an extreme amount of pain in their life, whether it's family trouble or teasing because they're different for some reason. When I can tell someone has been judged unfairly based on what people see on the outside and not their personality. When I see these people smile with genuine happiness I become overwhelmed. I tear up because they don't deserve that pain they've felt or the judgement that's been put on them.
     
    In these moments I would do anything I could, if I got the chance, to make sure they had a reason to smile like that every day, to make them realize that they're beautiful and perfect.

    Most people are probably thinking "Ew Calculus, why would you ever even take that? Math is stooooopid." In fact that's what most of my school seems to think. Aside from the 14 of us who were stupid brave enough to take the class. In addition to Calculus being extremely difficult to comprehend it's also a block period at my school, meaning it takes up 2 out of our 7 periods every day. Furthermore it also happens to be the last two periods, or rather the time of the day when no one wants to do anything. So pretty much the worst time to have a class.
     
    Now, for why this is actually the greatest class in the world....
     
    I've always been fairly good at math (once I understand a concept) and as a result have been able to enjoy it. I love the small thrill of getting an answer right to a problem that I've been working on, furiously writing equations down and plugging numbers into my calculator. My ex boyfriend always laughed at me when I did my homework at his house because I would sit there yelling at a problem I couldn't understand and then I would jump up and scream (literally) if I got the answer right.
     
    ....oops. Got a little off topic. So not only is my calc class filled with a variety of really awesome people (including 3 of the 5 Valedictorians) but we have a lot of fun. I don't know if other schools do this but our AP classes in our school have a tradition of having "snack day" once a week. And if you forget, you get killed. Our snack day is on a day where we have a weird schedule and we all go to the first period of calc before lunch instead of after like usual so you really don't want to forget lest you be torn to pieces by hungry math students.
     
    However, the best part of the class is all the youtube videos we watch EVERY DAY. We always get the teacher sidetracked because he loves watching funny/cool youtube videos. We've watched everything from nfl bad lipreadings to cat videos. In fact today he let us watch a video in between every problem we worked on - since we're just reviewing for the AP test now - and we only made it through 3 problems before we just watched videos for the rest of the class period. By now I'm caught up on every viral video I could ever need to see, plus a few extra.
     
    The other advantage is that I'm over level 500 on 4 pics 1 word because my math teacher is a genius at figuring those out. So whenever I get stuck we just pass my phone around the room until someone gets it.
     
    Maybe I am crazy for taking the class, especially since I don't really need it for the field I'm going in to, but I think it's been one of the best experiences of my high school career...not to mention I have an A in the class so I can't be doing too bad.

    In case you hadn't seen my post, here's a sample of my first pony drawing. I'm mostly going to use it to track my progress...
     
    I know, she has kind of a fat giraffe neck and no jaw, but in my defense the guide I was using was doing it at that weird angle. From now on I won't draw them like that so I can avoid "fatgiraffeneck" ponies.
     
    Enjoy!
     
    ps...sorry for the bad quality, my scanner isn't working so I had to just take a picture.

    I feel really bad...I begged for help with making a blog, I was desperate...and I've barely done anything. I had so many interesting things that I wanted to write about.
     
    As soon as I figured it out I was excited. I had even written something down on paper that I wanted to write on here. But I got busy. Insanely busy. These last few weeks have been so full of stuff needing to be done.
     
    For anyone (which is probably no one) that cares, I'll have more time in a couple months and hopefully have something more interesting to say then.

    A blog...AT LAST!

    By Mightymags,

    As many of you may, but probably don't know I've been trying to acquire a blog for quite a while now! At first it was thought that maybe I needed more posts, but that wasn't it. Finally StarStreak helped me figure it out! For this I am eternally grateful!
     
    However, other members might not be so grateful due to my incessant talking/posting that may or may not be happening now. I have no idea whether my thoughts are worth reading or whether I'm remotely interesting! (because I don't think I am)
     
    I love feedback on any topics, and I love making friends. :3 Don't be shy!

    Sneak peek...

    By Mightymags,

    Here's a preview of the drawing I've been working on the last couple days between studying for finals. I'm not done, but it's pretty close!
     
    This is my favorite part of it...

    So I finally came up with a cutiemark design for Piacevole. It's kind of a rough design right now, I wish I had a way to draw it on the computer. Let me know what you think.
     
    Now all I need is for someone to draw it on her....(winkwink nudgenudge knowwhatImeanknowwhatImean)

    WOAH SUPER AWESOME

    By Mightymags,

    ...and hopefully that title got your attention. *ahem*
     
    Now that you're here, I made a thread that y'all should check out. It's about a game I read about in gameinformer that's supposed to come out next year (hopefully). It's called The Witcher 3 and I'm mostly looking to get more information/thoughts from people that have looked into the game or the first 2 installments of it.
     
    If you haven't heard of it you should totally check it out!
     

     
    JUST LOOK AT IT.
