Current Mood: Very good, relieved, excited, content, clean, etc.
Reason: I’m just doing really good. I’m getting a lot of stuff out of my way, little by little. I’ve finally decided to do somthing one of my devotionals suggested: reading my Bible all the way through before I turn eighteen. It was just a couple days ago, I was thinking about it and I realized I only have a few years left, so I better do it. So far, I’m still in Genesis, coming to the part about Joseph and his “Coat of Many Colors.” I can’t wait to read a familiar Bible story 
. And it’s cool to read about his family and everything before that to get a better understanding of the story.
I also got a new drawing/fashion book today and it’s really helping me! I’ve finally decided to do one of the hardest things I’ve veer had to do takes deep breath… draw hands! And just hands! Watches as her art watchers collapse in astonishment. As you may know, I am not that good at drawing hands, in fact, I look for any excuse to hide the hands. But, I’ve finnaly worked up enough willingness to do it. But it’s kinda helping that I’m using a certain special superheroine as my model 
. I’m also starting another, more serious, art binge. And it’s going pretty well so far 
!
I also seemed to have missed some major action on the forums, but not the good kind of action. So I’m glad I wasn’t around for that. But I’m very sorry for those who were.
I’m also posting a bit more regularly, Thank God! I hope I’m being a better friend than I was before to you guys. I hate when I end up going back on my word.
I also got to watch NCIS, Who’s Line, and some AFV today 
<img src=“{SMILIES_PATH}/grinandwink.gif” alt=“;-D” title="Grin and
Wink" /> . So I got some laughs.
I’m eagerly anticipating the new Incredibles comic that should be coming out this month. I haven’t heard anything of it yet (except a tip from TSS that it’s gonna be about Helen). So I’m really eager to see how it turns out!
And, if everything turns out well, we might be getting a puppy in the next couple months 
! As it turns out, there’s this lady that lives in out complex, and she breads Chirussells (Chihuahua/ Jack Russell Terrier mixes), and she says, if we can give it a good home, she’d give one to us for free! I’ve met the male, and he seems really nice. So we’ll see. I’m hoping and praying that it’ll work out.
And, also, if everything goes the way we’re planning, we’re gonna be going to Pennsylvania to visit our relatives ! A lot of our family is up there, and so is Hershey’s Park, so it’ll be fun! And we might be going with my grandparents, which might make for a long car ride, but it’ll still be cool! Especially since Mom traded her old van and got a great deal on a new one and we’ve got a bit more room and a few more gadgets to play with, it might make it a little smoother. And we are probably going to stop at Washington D.C. on our way back. And it’ll be my first time there ever! So that’ll be AWESOME!!! I’ll get to be Sarah Vowell for the day 
!
I feel clean because I just had a nice shower, and am wearing my favorite pajamas, and these soft, comfy socks my Mom got me. So I’m feeling pretty good .
Lastly, I got the final piece of my Halloween costume! So, as usual, I’m way early, like almost seven months early! I’m going as Abby Sciuto from NCIS ! Now all I have to do is convince my dad to go as Gibbs and my mom to go as Ziva …
I’ll miss those days being chased around the yard and taking cover on the ping-pong table from him.
It was so embarrassing and it hurt a lot.
