Trust Issues

Well, it's been a few days since I last posted, and I guess not many people have visited in that time, I've gotten no comments or watchers, but that's okay since they seem to be a rather uncommon thing out here. Anyway...
My week has been rather dull, and I've had to contend with that whole 'Summer turns me nocturnal' thing. I've stayed up until somewhere in the 3-5am range before crashing and waking up around 2pm. This isn't good, since I'm gonna be going to camp next week and they have a strict 'Wake up at 6am or miss breakfast' policy. I don't know about you or whatever camps you've ever been to, but ours has a way of keeping us busy until dusk. If you miss a meal, you starve until the next. Fuel is needed there, cuz you burn it off really quick.
Unfortunatley cuisine isn't the best, but it'll keep you running.
I got a pleasant surprise, someone I thought wasn't going to camp ended up going, and it was for reasons they told me about, I'm not going to paste it up here, I'm not sure who reads this but I do know there is someone who I know who does read this. Plus they asked me to not tell anyone about the issues involving their uneasiment with going to camp.
I understood the issue, if anything I think I share it, but moving on...If any of you were wondering who this person was, it's just my friend. Worst part of it all, he's a guy. Now you may be wondering, 'What's so bad about having a guy as a friend?' Well I can tell you. A girl and a guy can't be friends without there possibly being some sort of feelings developing for the other from one side. Oh yeah, crush time...'How long?' you may ask? Too long. Again...moving on...
Camp is coming up next week, I'll be out of here from Monday to Saturday, don't expect anything up here until then whoever you are who reads this. I've just got to get myself all set up for things in the mean time. I got myself some new shoes...I just need a hair cut. It's well past my shoulders, I want it above that thanks.
I've been doing some stuff in Corel with my tablet, just drawing mostly fantasy stuff, I'm the type of artist who's slow and doesn't get things done except maybe halfway. I'm easily distracted sadly...Here's some things I've been working on...


Sorry for the large image size...but eh...it's just the way it came out. It's a dragon, I draw these things in excess, and as you can probably tell, or at least most of you artists out there, it's nothing but rough construction lines. Sadly most of my stuff hardly gets past this to the detailing or flat color stage. Maybe this one will be different.....maybe not.

Anyway...Later all...

Vitamin Water and Goldfish

Well, I have to say that quite a bit can happen in just a day or two, for one, a person can attempt to fry their brain by studying for a test that could possibly affect their choice of future college, and pull an all nighter in doing so. The problem with me (and most likley my greatest threat to a successful college cramming schedule) is that I cannnot function if I pull an all nighter.

After I stayed up all night studying for the test not (thank God) the day of the all nighter, but today, the 12th. So I at least had time to sleep that off. Ugh, I don't know why but Summer seems to have this weird thing about making me nocturnal. Must be all the free time, or some sort of magnetic polarity that screws with my internal clock and tells me I should turn into an owl.

Moving on...Today I took the ACT for the first time. If any of you from ACT inc. are reading this (I highly doubt it since this thing just started not too long ago) don't throw a hissy fit I'm not going to say anything, I wrote down the promise to not spill the beans. I woke up around 6:30 am, the test was at 8, so obviously I had some time to kill.

Funny thing about the ACT I thought I was gonna be nervous abut it, apparently not. I managed to convince myself that it was just like the highschool ACTAAP without the AAP...It seemed to work out. I took the writing portion along with the rest of it, so I had to sneak in a snack so as to not starve myself (I'm not anorexic or bulemic so that is not an activity I enjoy).

I grabbed a vitamin water Focus, mostly for the taste and the fact that the word 'Focus' caught my eye, and a bag of goldfish (which I managed to spill all over the floor about five minutes ago...no seriously). My dad drove me over to the campus -yes my father drove since my mother is terrified of me driving, I may explain that story later- and dropped me off.

It's amazing how I can get lost in a building without even trying, but at least I found my way around with a little bit of help, and direction from a Russian woman who scared the ever living out of me. She reminded me of some bird of prey, and she was a teacher so that explained the steelyness (The woman meant business).

Well, after a lot of stair climbing I managed to find the ACT room I was supposed to be in. I think I did fairly well, though I almost froze to death from the air conditioner (I forgot a sweater, plus it's summer I didn't think I'd need it), and during the math portion this kid kept sniffing and breaking my concentration. I got through Math easily, the part that terrfied me most. But it was Science that I had trouble with surprisingly...I had to guess on the majority of those and scramble on the last seven due to time constraints.

Break time rolled around and I ended up sharing my Goldfish with a few kids. It's amazing how the 'Snack that Smiles back' can bring up some interesting conversation...

Anyway...I think that's all I've got to say for now.

This is Soren, signing off. -salute-

Let's Get Started Shall We?

Hey there everyone...if anyone does stumble upon this fresh from non-existance blog I like to call my own...I'd like to welcome you.

I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to write here, it just doesn't seem to have much of a purpose yet except somewhere to put down all of my thoughts. Whether it be my dreams (which have been very weird as of late let me tell you), to random ideas I've suddenly concieved to write, or even a piece of art I've just finished drawing.

Yeah, if you've looked at that little assortment, drawing, dreams, writing, I am a creative individual. I think it's one of my own escapes from what we like to call reality. My mom's been telling me that I should be more concerned with the real world, but I like to keep myself free. The world is too smothering sometimes, and I think if I didn't have those outlets, I would be stifled and probably lose touch with my inner self...But I'm rambling aren't I?

I guess since this is my first post, I should introduce myself. My name isn't Soren, but I prefer to use it on the internet instead of my real name; so that will be what I sign all of these blog entries with more likley then not. I'm a Senior in High School this year, and not ready for the real world in all it's entirety, so some of that stress may take up some of these blog posts. I'm a Leo born on the cusp to a Virgo, yes I do keep track of my astrology sign, thanks to yet again my mother who finds things like that interesting.

For anyone who cares to know, I'm a Christian. This shouldn't however, perturb you from reading my blog. I'm not a hypocrite, I don't preach. But I hope that at least some of my actions indicate my religion...if not...well oh well.

I can't think of much else to say, I may end up calling it quits on this post. So to anyone who has stumbled upon this, I welcome you to my page, and I thank you if you've at least read this far.
