Like I said, things would slow down significantly once school started, and here I am, exactly 1 month later, I'm letting you know that I am, still, not dead.
Quite the opposite, in fact! I recently celebrated my birthday, and as you well may know, it's rude to ask a lady her age :P Finally got my horns from Peter's Pub - only took 2 years! (That was a massive clue, by the way)

Also had a great weekend with Dillon. We went out to Cheesecake Factory for some delicious appetizers and a divine strawberry cheesecake - yum! (I <3 cheesecake, if you were curious). Later on, it was time for presents, aka - "My Boyfriend is the Best Boyfriend in the World" time. It's not already enough that he took me out for a wonderful dinner, but he surprises me with this!!!

XD !!!!! I might have squealed a little bit when I opened these. As if I don't have enough thread! My first order of business was to hem the bottoms of a new pair of jeans (they never come in my size. Gah.) I will be sure to put together some new pieces when I have a little more time :)
And then there was this masterpiece:
Dillon revealed that this real work of art was actually about a year and a half in the making. Most of the credit for this goes to his mom, Shelly Haas (whose presence you can find on the intarwebs here <-- shameless plug) who did a large portion of the top coating w/ the gradient, and did all the calligraphy. If you can't read the quote, it says, "We are each of us angels with only one wing, and we can only fly by embracing one another." Attributed to Luciano de Crescenzo, a modern renaissance man, it's my favorite quote of all time.
In other news, school has otherwise been school... esque. (In other words, this institution has an unrivaled talent in sucking the remainder of my soul from my eye sockets, day by day). Here are few little musings that I'd like to share with the class:
- I wish I could tell the snide know-it-all that if she's so brilliant, she should realize that she was quite fortunate in her early schooling, and that life would be so much the better if she'd put her energy into helping those who haven't taken 4 years of Chinese instead of rudely correcting them under her breath
- Each language has its flaws, but to make point-blank declarations such as "this is f---ing stupid, just use the same one" is really very saddening. That aside, if you want to see a clusterf--k of grammatical flaws, try taking a look at the English language sometime.
- When I hear comments like, "Why bother asking... you don't understand it anyway," I wish I could look the questioner in the eye and respond, "Allow me to introduce you to the concept of curiosity. I find it severely lacking in the young minds of today."
- I wish I could tell the girl in my bio lab, "If I had to rank, I would put you in my top 10 of most beautiful girls I have ever met in person," without having to preface with "No Homo."
Anywho.
TL;DR - I am not dead. School is somewhat soul-sucking. I have some new projects planned for the future... Ish. I recently registered for NaNoWriMo (first year ever!!!) so you may hear shrieking throughout the month of November. Or not. Look back for updates, as always. Things may start taking a more literary shift as the weather gets cooler and it becomes harder to find pieces to fix up for winter.
Until the next!
