#Artsy!!!

So in our comp tech class, we had to take a bunch of pictures and turn them 3D. So I decided to share my pictures with you. I took some pretty "deep" and "artsy" photos. Really I just had an iPad and Lauren...
But first, let me take a selfie!

Selfie with Lauren!

Much picture, so artsy. Wow.

Lauren checking her phone...

Lauren posing randomly...

This one reminds me of tampon commercials...

I like this one. It has feet.

Lauren got me sitting down...

Oh look the basketball court!

I got her feet behind the fence. 

She's so adorable!

So those photos were some of the ones I considered using for my project. I only used a couple of them though. Afterwords, Lauren and I were joking about how we could be models and it turned into this...

My body is ready...

For a picture!! :D

So that's how that happened... So artsy right?

Just an Average Lunch Day...

So the average day at school, as most of you know, is quite boring (no offense teachers). Our favorite time of day (for most of us at least) is lunch. We get to sit, eat, talk with our friends, it's great. While most people have normal conversations about normal stuff, like latest gossip, boys, after school activities, ect. My friends and I, we have really odd conversations about things like sex, how we're married to one another, body modifications, piercings, ect. Also, most people sit at the tables. We personally prefer the stairs. We, to say the least, are not normal.

An average lunch for me includes Courtney sitting over there like:

And I'll be over on the other side of her like:

We'll be having one of our "normal" lunch conversations, when suddenly, a wild Terran appears!

*accurate*

Terran will then sit down in front of me and stick his entire hand in my shoe and proceed to boot rape me, as I so eloquently put it.

*I realize his eyes are blue, not green, sorry*

This has become normal for me. We have also come to the obvious conclusion that I am Terran's misstress and Courtney is obviously our daughter. My name is Sharquisha, Terran will be henceforth known only as Shaniqua, and our beautiful baby girl is Athenashaqueque.

This makes perfect sense right? 

So the other day (yesterday actually) the bell rang for fourth period. I stood up on the steps and tried to grab my stuff, but alas, I was kidnapped by a wild Shaniqua. He grabbed me and hoisted me onto his back and proceeded to run across the lunch room after everyone evacuated.

*again, I got his eyes wrong, sorry*

It was finally after me kicking his knees and Courtney over on the other side of the room like:

Was I released from his hold and sent free to go to class. This, my dear readers, is an accurate representation of my normal day at lunch.

Gathering of the Tribes

I have this lacrosse tournament thingy called Gathering of the Tribes. GOTT is basically when a bunch of high school lacrosse teams get together and battle it out to get into the championship game. JV boys vs. JV boys, JV girls vs. JV girls, Varsity boys vs. Varsity boys, and Varsity girls vs. Varsity girls. That's pretty much how it goes down. We get four games, and the championship game if we make it.

Today we had two games. Tomorrow we will have two games. It was super exciting and fun. I really enjoyed playing. The first game was awesome and we won 11-01. We kicked ass. The second game we unfortunately lost, but that was because of many factors.

The first reason was because the other team was cheating. They would push our girls onto the ground while going for a ground ball. That's very illegal in lacrosse. They would also had a lot of crease violations. A crease violation is where any player, besides the goalie, crosses into the goal crease with either her stick or body. This is how they scored their last point. They would also pull a lot more illegal moves, which was not cool on their part.

Another reason we lost was because the other team didn't have enough girls sign up this year, so their team is pretty much JV and Varsity combined. So I guess it is pretty impressive we only lost by one point.

The other reason was that the referees were being unfair. They would call our team for things that the other team did, such as illegal checking. They would also call us for everything, even if they didn't happen, while they never called the other team for anything illegal they did. It was pretty obvious that the refs were favoring the other team. I just don't think that's cool. Also, after the game, we were running towards out goalie as we usually do, and I heard one of the refs say something that was totally rude and uncalled for.

So the other team scored the first goal and I heard the ref at the end of the game say "Once they scored the first goal I knew they were going to win," So she was basically saying that she knew we were going to lose and she just went and had to be a bitch about. Within earshot. I'm sorry for ranting, but all of this just pisses me off. I hate it when teams cheat and when refs favor. It's not cool at all. Thanks for reading my rant.

This is my baby, Roosevelt.

Teton Science School Trip

So I got back from the Teton Science School today. It was amazing. I had so much fun and I really hope I can go back someday. So I'm going to give a quick synopsis of what happened over the week.

So on Monday we got to school and hopped on the bus at eight AM. We drove for five hours with only one stop the entire time. We then continued on our journey and got to TSS (Teton Science School). We dropped off our stuff outside the dorms, went to the dining hall for an introduction, and then went to the dorms for another small introduction. We put our gear into the rooms, put on our gear for outdoors, and split into our field groups that we were assigned. After that, we got cross-country skis and went out for a little practice. After that, we went to the actual track and we skied for a while. We got back, and sat around and did homework, then went to dinner. After that we went to an evening program (EP) and learned stuff. We then went back to our dorms, did homework, then went to sleep.

On Tuesday, we woke up bright and early and went to breakfast. We ate food then got ready to go out to the field. We were cross-country skiing again. We got on the bus, and drove to our location. When we got off the bus, we all got a nice face-full of bear spray!

What happened with that was our guide/teacher lady, Laura, stepped off the bus without realizing the safety had broken on her bear spray. The bear spray then proceeded to spray into the air and when we stepped off the bus, we inhaled it. It was terrible.

So after that adventure, we grabbed our gear and set off. We went for a while, played some games, ate lunch, dug a snow pit that was five feet deep, and set off again. We made it 2.5 miles before we turned back and got back on the bus to go back to the campus. We got back, showered, ate dinner, went to our EP, did homework, then slept. All in all, it was a successful day.

Wednesday wasn't as exciting with us snow shoeing. We went a little bit, dug two snow pits, and learned all about the snow. After that, we built a snowman. We then headed back for the bus on a different, but effective, route. We then went to dinner, EP, homework, and bed.

On Thursday, we went to a preserve and cut off some willow branches so that in the summer they can plant more willows in places that they're needed. After that, we went to another place and we went cross-country skiing some more. Our group went on a quote walk, where one leader put out quotes and the rest of us read the quotes while skiing by ourselves. Once we got to the end, we waited for everybody, then we started to head back while playing camouflage. it was awesome. We got to the end of the route back and went to the campus. We went to dinner, EP, packed, and slept.

Today, we woke up, went to breakfast, went to a closing thing, cleaned our lodges, and hopped on the bus. We took a five hour drive with one stop back to Park City and got here around the end of the school day. It was a really fun trip. I made some new friends in people I don't usually talk to. If you want to know more, check out the blog about the trip.

This is our Snowman :)

Tutorial: Anime Face

So if you've ever read any of my friends blogs (Audrey, Lyndsey, Courtney) they all have posts about art. I mean, I did one earlier, but I'm gonna do another one cuz I feel like it. Deal with it.

Anyway, so I love to draw. I draw whenever I get bored, and most of the time, my art winds up on my wall. One thing that I particularly enjoy drawing is anime/manga. So I suppose I'll do a short tutorial on how I do my art.

So here we go I guess...

First you start by drawing a circle. This will help with the basic head shape. It doesn't have to be perfect.

Next you draw the jaw. Erase the bottom of the circle too. This is your head shape.

Third you draw the outline of the eyes. You can choose whatever shape you want, I just went with a classic one that you see in many anime and manga.

After you outline the eyes, add detail to them. 

Finish the face by adding the mouth, nose, and blush.

Once you finish the face, you can draw the hair, choose any style you like, I prefer long hair with bangs.

Finally, you can add the neck and shoulders, add a few details you forgot, and you're finished!

So that's my process of drawing a face. If you decide to draw this, it might not turn out the best, my old drawings weren't that great either. You'll get better with practice though! This drawings wasn't one of my best considering it was done in ten minutes while watching TV. My other drawings are pretty good though. So have fun drawing, and draw away!

Valentine's Day

Valentine's day can be very sad for some people. For me though, it was very fun. I was able to hang out with my boyfriend and we had a lot of fun. First we went up to Main Street and we went roller blading. We grabbed the rollerblades that he keeps in his trunk (I don't know why) and we went to the city park and we rollerbladed around for a bit. After that we went down to Redstone and got burgers at Five Guys. Five Guys is an amazing burger joint. It's great and I totally recommend it.

So after all that fun stuff, we went to the movies. We went and saw the new Lego Movie. Now let me tell you a thing. I was not expecting the movie to end how it did at all. I won't give away the ending, but I will say you should totally see it. Somehow they managed to get me to ship lego characters together.

Shipping basically means I take two people (or anything really) in put them together in a relationship and I love it. It's weird. I know, but somehow a movie made me ship legos together. It's so odd. It was a really good movie though.

The boyfriending figure also managed to get me a purple stuffed bear. He doesn't have a name yet. I hope that you all had a wonderful Valentine's Day though, even if you spent it alone on Netflix with self-bought chocolate. I would totally do that if I didn't have a boyfriend. So yes. And I love all of you if you read my blog :3.

A poem:

Hella cute,
Hella fine,
Be my Hella Valentine?

This be my new bear :3

Writer's Block

So I have this horrible disease. It's pretty common, and hard to get over. Eventually though, you can beat it. Not very easily though. This disease? It's called Writer's Block. You know what I'm talking about now don't you? Ya. Well I have Writer's Block and it's killing me. My brain is on pause pretty much.

What do I write about?

I had an idea, but I lost it. Then my english teacher told me to write about those big, hipster glasses. I tried. I got three sentences before I gave up. I even have writer's block writing this. I have no idea what to blog about. I mean, I have an awesome idea to start a story, but no the proper development yet. I would totally write it right here, right now, except for the fact that it's not properly developed. Goddammit. I need an idea! 

... Have you ever had writer's block? Cuz let me tell you, this is not fun. I feel like a literal wall has been built between my brain and my imagination. It is literally giving me a headache. Writer's Block is literally just you sitting there in front of what ever you're writing on with a blank stupid look on your face. You probably look really stupid to everyone else. 

There are many cures for writer's block, not many of them helpful, unfortunately. It's kind of terrible. They give you many ideas for different stories and yet, you can't seem to write those down either. It's like the words are stuck on the tip of your pen and won't come out no matter what you do. This, my dear readers, is why Writer's Block is a terrible disease.
