Jun. 18th, 2002 10:50 pmJeez, when was the last time I posted in this? See, I'm deficient in writing journal entries even when it's not physically possible to be simpler.
Anyways. Here's a link to the ( story ) I was complaining about writing. Meh. It's not perfect, and could have used a little more fine-tuning if it hadn't been due, but I think my writing style's really improved in the last couple years. I like this. It could be better, but I still like it.
Let's see. What else have I been planning to post about? Oh, the quilt I made is finished. I think I'll load a picture of it later. It's very, very far from perfect- one side is smaller than the other- but I was getting so sick of sewing that I just couldn't do it anymore. I like it though. I mean, it's not very pretty, but it's not falling apart, and I plan to use it for my dorm room. Cuz 1. I'm always cold, so more blankets=good, and 2. I think it would be neat to tell people I made it myself, with no help, from scratch.
For the second project I have to make, I'm working on a pair of paper-mache statues, an angel and a devil. I'll probably finish those tomorrow or the day after. They're alot simpler than the quilt. I wish it had only taken a week. The paper-mache's not as fun as I remember, it's hard to deal with and gets all over the place, plus the warnings on the box are really scary, so I'm kinda worried about getting cancer, but I think painting them will be fun. The body of the angel's already done, and I can start the base coat on it tomorrow, but the devil's still missing a head and feet and hands and it looks kinda lopsided, so I'll have to work on it. 'Sokay.
Hmmm. I tried to tan today, but I'm apparently destined to be pale forever, cuz even after an hour in our way-hot sun, I still had no tan, no burn, no brown, no pink. And I was wearing *no* sunblock. Sigh. I used to tan when I was little. I suppose I shouldn't want to be tan, since my aunt just had surgery for skin cancer, but I don't want to burn. I don't even want to be very dark. I just want to stop looking like a vampire fanatic.
Well, it's a long enough entry already, so I think I'm done.
