Ehehe...oops....

  Um....forgive me, I went on vacation without telling you (not that many would care, or many follow me, but whatever). I went to Chicago (which, in case you didn't know, is in Illinois) and Michigan ^.^ I will describe my eventful... um... eventfulness in two sections: one on Chicago, and one on Michigan. We headed over to Chicago on Sunday (I say headed over because we DROVE there -.- ) and got there on Monday night. We stayed in some hotel I can't seem to remember the name of, on the corner of Ohio and State streets. While we were there, we went to the Shedd Aquarium (which is world-famous, by the by), the John Hancock Building (to a lounge/bar area..... no comments please.....) where I got a (virgin) strawberry daiquiri, and the ONE AND ONLY NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY :D Dibs. Please, no one else apply..... it'd give me a better chance to get in....it's supposed to be really hard to get in so.....please.... We also went to Notre Dame where we decided that my sister would go (for her...?). While at the colleges, I discussed college preferences with Iris. It was quite interesting. She wants to go to NYU, so if we both drive for 7 hours toward each other, we could see each other while in college (not likely to happen very often)! Skype also available. Questions about anything in the last paragraph may be posted in the comments, because I'm pretty sure it made no sense. Moving on!
  In Michigan, we saw our Grandma and Grandpa, and our Aunt and Uncle. We did boring family stuff mostly, like shopping and playing board games and fishing and pushing each other into the lake thereby soaking them thoroughly. Balderdash is my new favorite game, but you need at least 4 people for it to be fun, and 3 for it to work. If you want to know the rules, look it up because I'm too lazy to type it :3 I (finally) finished Fullmetal Alchemist after Iris freaked out because I was reading another manga (does she think it's like cheating on a lover...???). I happened to be reading Fairy Tail, and I gotta say, I LOVE Natsu (mostly because he's an idiot). Hmm....going through and doing grammar and spelling checks just now, I realized that Notre (Dame) isn't a word on my computer.....fail.... eh, I'm getting sidetracked. *sigh*. Well anyway, I got back yesterday and I was going to blog, but my mom was all *insert NO meme* so I couldn't. Also, I finished like, 15 other mangas (no, I'm not over exaggerating) because I was super bored. Also, I'm still designing the characters for the manga I'm writing (drawing?) that I'm not technically actually writing because my friend actually wrote the words and I'm just drawing the pictures. So....yeah. That makes sense. I guess. But the relevance of this is that it means I can call reading manga 'studying' (I am very happy about this). AAAND that's about it for now.
YML:
Manga-
Fairy Tale
Deep Love Virus (only for cuteness [as in romantic cuteness]. Plus it has a character that looks just like one of the character's in Iris' book [which is the one I'm drawing the manga for])<--that was intense
Black Butler (did I already say this one?)
Alice 19th
Music-
R.E.M (cuz it's awesome ^.^)
Punk Rock 101 (currently one of my favorite songs)
GREEN DAY (me gusta)

That is all.
