wannabechef: My gosh, I’m so sorry to hear that… again I will continue to be praying for her family and yours, this has to be an absolutely horrible thing to be going through. :cry:

–

Mood: Shocked, and yet extremely flattered

Reason: 10 nominations. 10 freakin’ nominations, and I actually didn’t really expect any, to be honest with you guys. :open_mouth: Again, I know the nominations aren’t the final vote, but still, to be on one of the nomination lists really makes me feel special!! Thanks so much everyone for all the votes… I love you guys so much!! <3

wannabechef91: I’m so sorry that happened. Just know that we are all here for you to help you thorugh your time of grief.

Mood: neutral.

Reason: Don’t know, really.

#1018

wannabechef91: I’m really sorry to hear about your cousin. My condolences to you and your family. It’s hard to loose those you love.

Mood: Worried

Earlier this week, I was asked if I wanted to move up to Symphonic 1, which would make me 5th chair (out of 6) but I have been juggleing it for a while because 1) I don’t like 3 of the 5 that I’d have to be sitting with and 2) I don’t have that many friends in Sym 1. I have a pair of friends in there, but they’ve been dating for a long time now, and one is lucky if they can carry a conversation. :confused: But I talked with my counselor and asked her to tell them that my schedule can’t be changed. I had to explain that I wasn’t being moved down, but I didn’t want to move up, which is weird. But, I like being first chair in a lower band. I mean, we get to play October by Eric Whiticre, an extreamly beautiful song that I’ve wanted to play since the end of 7th grade. I think though, that if we weren’t playing that, I would move up to Sym 1. Eh.

Mood: Pooped!!! sweats

Reason: I just took pretty much the entire afternoon going through hundreds of clothes from my closet and drawers and getting rid of stuff that I didn’t wear anymore/ was too small for me. My sister did it at the same time, so I spent all afternoon clearing out our closet, taking clothes off of hangers, putting clothes we didn’t want in bags, tidying up the closet, putting dirty clothes in the washing machine, sorting laundry, lugging four large garbage bags of old clothes out into the hallway… DANG. Who knew giving your closet a serious clean-out would be sooo much work!!!

I feel SO much better not to have all those clothes in there, though. It feels good to get rid of that stuff you knew you were never going to wear again, but have been to lazy to go through and get rid of. :laughing:

leans back with a sigh of relief Now time for something cool to drink while I browse the web and post a bit on PP. I need to relax. :open_mouth:

I’m so, so sorry to hear that, wannabechef91. My condolences to both you and your family. At least she’s peaceful now.

And I hope your mum has a swift recovery, JustSoWall-eCrazy!

Mood: Tired but happy.

Reason: I’ve been doing a lot of work lately but also a lot of going out and seeing friends, i.e. working hard and playing hard- just the way I like it.

#1021

Current Mood: Relieved, happy

Reason: As of yesterday, I am now done with my semester! After a few grueling weeks of finishing final projects, I now have the time to relax and get some much needed sleep! My short film is just about completely finished. I posted a version of it in my art thread

I celebrated the end of the semester by going to The Princess and the Frog with 20+ of my art school friends. We filled up an entire row of the theater and basked in the goodness of the film. It was fantastic!

wannabechef91- I’m so sorry, man. I don’t really know what to tell you. I’ll pray that you and your family can get through this time of grieving. The hardest part is having to watch someone you love die. I’m sorry you had to go through that. At least now, she’s probably in a better place. You have my sincerest condolences. I’m sorry.

Current Mood: Stoked :smiley: !

Reason: I’ve had an absolutely great day today! First, I got some money from my mom’s friend for Christmas. It was great even to know that she remembered me though, so I enjoyed hearing from her :slight_smile: . And the money was a nice gift seeing as I don’t get cash that often and there are a few things that I’ve wanted for a long time to get for myself.

Then, my mom took me to the wig store to get a new wig with some of my Christmas money. I was finally able to get a new black wig (Thank God! Because my other one’s looking real crappy. :unamused: ). I was also able to get two neon colored extensions for it (Blue and Purple, of course) and some head bands like the ones Violet wears. Plus, they were having a sale, so I got the stuff cheap.

So my super suit is slowly coming together. It probably won’t be done by Christmas like I wanted, though. But I’m making it a goal to finish it by either my birthday or Christmas next year. And I should be able to get it done by then. I’m glad I at least got the wig so I’ll look nice when I go to get my pictures taken at MGM with The Incredibles :wink: .

Other than that, I’m feeling good in general. I’m feeling inspired. I did another “off-the-top-of-my-head-doddle” last night, of Violet sitting (more like slumping) in a Lazy Boy recliner. I’m gonna try to do a bigger version of it like I did my last one.

Also, I’m excited for… well, the same reason a lot of people on PP are excited for :blush: … I’ve been nominated for the Pixar Planet Awards :slight_smile: ! To be honest, I wasn’t entirely surprised (not to be cocky, I’m not being big headed, I just wasn’t all that surprised). But I was still super excited when I saw my name on the list! Oh. My. Gosh. I’ve never felt so honored in my life :slight_smile: ! Thank you guys so much!

Some other general reasons I’m happy: I’m listening to a great song that’s inspiring me to write. And, it’s that time of the year again :wink: . That’s right! Christmas is coming up! And I can’t wait! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, everybody :smiley: !

#1023

Current Mood:Very Sad
I feel that noone listens to me sometimes and that I am invisible.
And I read in earlier posts that there were trolls on here! I’ve always wanted to try to take out a troll,but now the trolls are gone before I had the change! :`-(

#1024

Mood: Happy

Reason: Typing on here, and at the same time, trying to advance on a story I’m writing on Microsoft Word (no, it’s not the fanfic I’m posting on here).

#1025

Happy!

My Chargers won again!

#1026

Mood: Bummed

Reason: I just got home from church and really wanted to find something to eat, and was greeted with a ton of dishes to do. My parents will bug the crap outta me if I don’t do them like, right now, and I was really wanting to write mo a PM to read when he gets back from his dad’s. Grrr…

Maybe if I eat something first I’ll feel better about doing them. :confused:

#1027

Mood: Positively moved

Reason: A person here who strongly disagrees with one of my obsessions, and who shall remain nameless, had decided to help me out about something on this forum. To this person: I appreciate your willingness for the two of us to move on. :slight_smile:

#1028

mood: happy
I just got to see the Princess and the Frog again! Can’t wait for showing #3!

#1029

Current Mood: Stressed for the past three weeks or so and knowing I’ll be stressed again this week.

Reason: I just have a lot of work to do :angry: , I’ve been kept up til about midnight every night for weeks, and I think I’m coming down with something :frowning:

#1030

BDD: Hang in there! You can get through it! I was in the same boat a couple weeks ago… only I was staying up way past midnight (yay for late nights animating) and I survived! You can too! I have faith in you!

Current Mood: Disappointed yet happy

Reason: I finally went to the Disney Store at the Mall of America. The only Up merchandise they had was plushies. I was disappointed that they didn’t have more! I was looking forward to finally being able to look at all the merch! But on a happier note, a friend bought me the talking Dug plush! He’s so soft!!

#1031

Mood: Obsessive.

Reason: Darnit, I always get like this after a great movie, and PatF is no exception. I wanna go see it again SO BAD. xD

#1032

Mood: Tired and trying to wake up

Reason: Woke up about half an hour ago and have been seriously contemplating eating breakfast. But the idea of eating those dreaded Frosted Flakes (again… O-O) just isn’t appealing to me right now…

Maybe if Mom would bake that package of blueberry muffins and make a pot of coffee…

#1033

Mood: Exhausted but content

I just completed an entire week’s worth of moving to my family’s new home. We transported plenty of stuff in back-and-forth shuttles, battled dust bunnies, encountered treasures long forgotten, argued over what to throw and what to keep, and had to set up all our appliances again (as of now, I’m ‘leeching’ off a neighbour’s Internet connection temporarily). It’s like a literal uprooting! I’m no stranger to moving (I believe this is our eighth residence in over three countries, and our fourth in Singapore!), but it’s doesn’t make it any easier. But at last, we cleared our old house and handed the keys to the next tenant, and I’m now getting a well-deserved rest in our new home. :slight_smile:

I’m excited to continue my ongoing mash-up project (probably my final video for this year) and watch The Princess and the Frog tomorrow!

#1034

I don’t know how to feel right now.

Let’s just say my mom asked us what we wanted for Christmas, and it had to be within 30 USD.

And it’s only a week until Christmas. Like seriously, can I feel any lower right now? Every freakin’ emotion I’ve bottled up pertaining to this sucking situation we’re in just won’t stay inside anymore.

And I’m pretty convinced that everyone I know IRL honestly doesn’t give a crap about what this family is going through. :cry:

Don’t worry, annarborjack. Everyone feels invisible sometimes, but then sometimes it’s just a case of getting yourself heard. I’m sure people care more than you think, though.

Oh wow, thedriveintheatre, you have moved around a lot! I’m not sure if I could handle that. :laughing: Bet you’re glad to finally be settled in your new home, though.

As long as you and your family have got each other then you can stay strong, red. I know that probably sounds a bit hollow, and I know the whole ‘Christmas isn’t about buying stuff, it’s about being with your family’ thing can be a bit boring, but I guess it’s true. I mean, it’s nice to have nice stuff, but by the sounds of things your family is going through a tough time, so looking out for each other must be really important at the moment. And, you know, some people are just too selfish to care about anyone else’s families, so whoever seems to be neglecting the situation you’re in obviously doesn’t know how bad it can get without experiencing it themselves. I hope it all gets sorted out and that you enjoy your Christmas nonetheless, though I know me saying this stuff doesn’t actually make any difference. The only real advice I can think of is, if possible, you could try looking for a job? I got a job at 16 so that I could buy stuff like clothes and other nonessentials without having to rely on my parents all the time, and that helped a bit.
