Athene Numphe

Last week lordaerith and I volunteered at the UT Video Game Archive Fundraiser


why yes, that's me with a ballon that matches my shirt tied to my braid, why do you ask?
For the record, no one told me to remove it.

( see more photos from the event )

On Saturday Bubbles and Boom hosted an Art Party. The theme was elementalism. lordaerith and I worked together to make element-eatable cookies.


( see more photos of the cookies and of the party )

And finally, all of my classes are going really well. I'm really enjoying Databases and Math, but I'm having trouble doing my reading for Management tonight...

so tired. so very tired. must stay awake. have only 9 lines left to translate. the must read 50 pages of Aeneid in english. must get translation done. can fudge reading b/c read before. must review though. must not fall asleep now. must go to bed early. back to latin.

well, I am back to being human :(
my ears are burning and red, but at least they don't hurt as much as they could. many many blessings to the person who invented spirit gum remover!!

as for the movie... I could talk about it forever, but i have 4 more pages to write (at least) of my paper, so i must to that. will write later.

I am an elf. I wish i had a digital camera so i could put up a picture.

a ten page paper to write now. well, 8.5 pages left. ick.

friday - the SSFFS meeting was fun. We got to talk about cons. Dinner was shit so a bunch of us went to davis. when ks was about to get food, Amythyst and I said "nope, sorry, no food for you, you're not allowed to order anything." To which BM told ks "don't worry, you can have as many tic-tacks as you want." hehehe
Saw The Children's Hour which was directed by Austin Pedleton. It was pretty good. I felt the first act was a little flat which made it hard to really get into the other two acts (which were actually very good).

Saturday - got up late *G*. Read some Winter's Tale. Fell asleep while Aerith made dinner. :) Went to UMass to see The Diary of a Madman. It was EXCELENT! Absolutly amazing!!!! When we left the theatre it was snowing! I couldn't stop laughing.
When we got home we watched the snow and watched The Usual Suspect which Aerith had never seen before. He liked it, but I knew he would. It's so different watching it a second time.

Sunday - did homework. got my observation report done. it's crap, but it's done. finished Winter's Tale. Weird play. Waited for Flip, but due to misscomunication we never met. I hope it goes well today. Started reading about Peter Brook. He hung out with Crowley! Weird shit (I bet i'm one of a few people at Smith who would read his Memoirs and know who Crowley was). Had to share with someone. Called Rock, but she wasn't home. Called Brenna. She was home. We talked for a while :) Typed up some of the lines the greek test is going to be on.

Overall - semi-productive weekend. My toe hurts less and less every day. I am walking with almost no limp now. Love Aerith. Spectre is cute when he's not a brat. want school to be over. too much to do.

left to do:
edit Observation report.
Study for Child and Adolecent Growth and Development Exam.
read about Peter Brook and write 5 page paper on him.
work with Flip on Brook and our scene.
Study for Greek Exam.
write 10 page paper for Comedy and Romance on yet-to-be-determined subject.

Had the Horseback riding final today. Pulled Zippy. Never worked with him b4. he was such a sweety. I really liked him. And I got his bridal on without any problems. I even stuck my finger in his mouth without fear. YAY me!

SSFFS yearbook photo was tonight. It was so much fun. It always is! We conquered the tv this year. "The Geeks go marching one by one hurrah hurrah!" Damn I love my SSFFS friends!! Amythyst rocks my world! I really hope she can finish the semster. I know that the guidence is there for her and all she needs to do is find it.

Trying (not) to write a paper. I think i'll go to sleep now instead.

wow, I haven't written in FOREVER!!! Let me see, what happened to me?

First, monday the 19th Flip came into class 40 min late with a bleading cut on her forehead and proceeded to fall down. We called the Public Safety and stuff and the ambulence guys came to get her. I went with her to hospital. We were there from about 2pm to 6pm. I was there when she woke up. She couldn't remember any of what happend to her. it was scary. but they did a CT scan and an EKG or something like that and said she was fine. So, luckily another friend showed up with food and a car and drove us home. The whole experiance just weired me out so, after a few hours of getting no work done, I packed up my stuff for Thanksgiving and headed over to Aerith's.
Also, that night Aerith's sister gave birth to Theresa Joan two weeks early at about 11pm. I guess it was a day for hospitals.

Tues- Haven died. Aerith and I beat Gauntlet Dark Legacy and started to cheeze the game. Learned how to post while troting.

wed - Swan and Kiten showed up and we played more Gauntlet Dark Legacy.

thurs - drove to eastern mass. Got to see little TJ. Her mom came home from the hospital that day. Had chinese food for dinner, but it didn't matter because we got to see the baby :) Aerith and I got to stay in a hotel room ;)

fri more babyness!! Started to freak out about all the work i had to do.

sat went to the mall. The body shop was out of the Define and No Frizz cream :( Ended up getting a dishes and silverware set for $45 at a kitchen store that was going out of busness. Drove home. Saw the Twelfth Night movie w/Helena Bothem Carter and Ben Kingsly. Was very good.

sun did LOTS of Greek

monday the 26th - had a mock final in horseback riding. got Percy. ick he is such a pain! but i groomed and saddled and bridled him and didn't get kicked or bitten or anything. ha.
Then I pulled an almost all-nighter (3.5 hours of sleep) to write a paper. the only good thing was that i got to call dad at 1 in the morning (8am his time)! He got remarried.

tuesday - turned in the paper late, but at least on the day it was due! Whimsy was a pain during riding, but not a Percy-like pain, so that is good. Was up till 1am doing greek, but did over 30 lines in less than an hour at one point. YAY ME!!!

Things I must do before the school semseter is over:
1. 3 exams - 2 in class - 1 a pratical for horseback riding - 1 self-schedualed at Amherst.
2. 3 papers - 1 2-3page obersvation report, 1 5 page write up on Peter Brook, 1 10 page for Comedy and Romance
3. 2 reports - 1 due friday for Greek. 1 article one
4. Greek translation lines (finishing Hecuba)
5. Finishing Horseback riding journal (due mon)
6. Reading Winter's Tale
7. Rehearsing scene with Flip.
I think that's everything.

i think i can do it all (I hope)

yesterday was fun, even though it was rainy.

I had my first "lab" in horseback riding. Two of the people from my monday class was there, so that was cool. Got to learn how to put the saddle and bridal on a horse. Didn't get to do it yet. At least my docs are ok for now. yay. Putting the halter on the horse was a lot easier today. I like Red Wing. He seems like a cool horse. There is a horse named Athena! She is BEAUTIFUL!!!

Haven was awesome. Hurray for Pearl St. being with in a DECENT walking distance from Smith. ND. came with me again. She is cool. Her outfits are always so awesome! Everyone else thought so too. The music at Haven was very good (as 3G said, "It doesn't suck") and I danced my feet off. They STILL hurt, which I guess is a good/bad thing. Aerith wasn't there and I missed him. I got to dance with wolfboy for "Come here boy" and then we were in the center cage together for the Dead Can Dance song w/the title that i'm not going to write b/c i doubt i could spell it if I tried. The only bad thing about the cage was that there was this drunk girl who i bumped into and she turned around and was all over me, and i had to push her off! And dancing in the cage was kind of scary. I kept thinking that I would misstep and fall off to my doom. But i didn't.

Today wasn't mountain day *pout*
I didn't have to go in Acting which was good b/c I compleatly misunderstood the asignment.

oh, and almost 40 lines of greek went almost a full hour faster than I expected to spend on it, and that includes a few breaks. Hurray!!!

Went into town and finished buying presents for my little sis. She is SO going to know it's me before the end of the whole thing. But i don't care.
