"Shiny" Pikachu

This isn't the shiny Pikachu that most gamers want to have, but it IS a cool demonstration of how awesome my new metallic gel pens are. Shine on!

Flower Power: Spring Finals Shenanigans Part 1

Well... I've started doing weird/silly/crazy shenanigans again. It must be final exams week.

I drew a flower on my knee with gel pens.

I really can't tell you why. It just seemed like a good idea at the time.

My mother always discouraged me from drawing on myself (or at least I feel like she did), so I don't do it that often. Every now and then I get a little crazy.

Hey, for a random knee doodle, it looks pretty cool.

It's probably a good thing I've sent most of my gel pens home already.

As I was drawing the flower on my knee, I considered how weird other people would think I was if they saw it. But I thought- eh! Who's going to see me? I'm in my bedroom and I'm not going anywhere tonight.

While I was typing up this blog post, tornado sirens started going off. I scrambled to my bathroom to scrub the gel pen off so the neighbors wouldn't think I was weird when we all huddled out in the hallway together.

We're okay. A tornado touched down in the city, but it didn't hit campus. And nobody saw me with a gel pen flower on my knee, so there's that.

Shine Bright Like A Flashcard

I made flashcards for my Intro to Theatre midterm. I started out by making a card for every vocabulary term in each chapter, but then I realized that our teacher had only given us sixty terms to study on the study guide, and I had made a lot of cards that I didn't need. I only got through the first few chapters, though, so it's okay.

Except I ran out of index cards with three terms to go.

I could have cut out 2x4 pieces of paper.

I could have studied the terms on a list instead of cards.

I could have even gone out to buy more index cards.

But no.

I chose to color over some of the flashcards I didn't need with a black Sharpie. And then I wrote the new terms on top of them with glittery gel pens.

Isn't that creative? I thought so. But between this and the blackout poetry I did a few weeks ago, my black Sharpie hates me.

And I had tons of time to waste coloring index cards black! It's not like this midterm is tomorrow or anything!

Oh, wait.
