violence is what i'm refraining from.

i'm quite tired so i'll try and make this as fast as possible.

first, i promised pictures of my prom dress (for the boy's prom) so friends so this is what it looks like so far if i didn't have arms and had a tattoo on my chest:

this is the bottom. i'd show the entire dress but it looks funky on the dummy and looks much better on me. sadly, i am not in any possession of the pictures where i'm in it. mind you, this is not the bottom bottom, this hits right above my knee, fabric has been sewn on to flair out at the bottom. think 1920's:

right now i'm really excited to go to prom. it is not until may 18th but i'm so excited. may is a pretty good month for me. first, this friday, i'll be attending a banquet for student government. sadly, my boy could not attend due to musical practice so i will be taking my best male friend as an alternative boy for the evening. saturday, i get to hang out with the boy for several hours. his mother and i are finishing the dress and then we head to the comedy club where he will preform. then sunday is a carnival type arrangement at school and i will be helping out there. then may 14th is the our (boy and i, together) three year anniversary. i have some tricks up my sleeve for that one!

then, prom is that friday. i'm more excited for the long weekend down the shore. but, as long as i get to dress up and parade around then go for some beach, i'm happy!

the following pictures are those i took today ('cause its finally spring and sunny) before i fell into bed to attempt to take a nap. (you thought you gave up naps when you were a child, until you got to college.):

model one.

model two.

i know, not perfect but it was the best i could do by myself. when i get some friends back over the summer, i plan to take several pictures! this is a shrug that i started knitting around the beginning of april maybe. took me probably about 50+ hours and i enjoy it very much! its a wool-acrylic blend (go easy wash) though since it is getting warm around here, its getting a bit too hot to wear. (i want to make the next one, 'cause i plan on knitting it again, out of cotton.)

i'm very satisfied with it. it is my first real piece of clothing that turned out really well that i own that i made! joy!

i am almost caught up on the cast on pod cast. shortly i will be up to date and that makes me happy. but i've been crazy with school and finals and everything that i haven't had time for anything else but sleep and studying.

i met with one of my professors today to look over my test grade. it wasn't so hot but i didn't go for the grade, i went to see what i got right vs. what i got wrong and if they were stupid mistakes. three or four out of the seven or so were number mistakes (apparently, it is appropriate to study the statistics of a certain percentage of people in the criminal system in sociology). though he told me i'd be able to get an a if i did well on tomorrow's presentation. so here's hoping!!

on other news, as i said, finals are coming up next week and everything is winding down. (thank god!) i 've had my last computer class of my life and all i need to do is finish writing a paper and take the exam. tomorrow i will finish sociology, english and statistics (joy to the world!) then friday i finish western civilizations and public speaking!

(most random thing, some dumb child is driving around the neighborhood honking his horn. i assume it is a "he" 'cause the he's are the "special-er" ones of our species.)

life will be back to normal shortly and i will be happy!

but for now, i am going to finish up my english paper, procrastinate on my computer paper and take a shower.

good night folks.
