Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

And I don't mean three years of DA, or even three years of Gaia (that passed a couple of months ago). No, I mean three years...of me and Kage.

That's right. As of tomorrow, March 8th, we'll have been together for exactly three years. I'm so happy, and very proud of us to have made it this far. We've both changed a hell of a lot since that spring back in my sophomore year (his junior year)...it's been a long, rough road for the both of us. Not relationship-wise, just life in general. We've yet to drive each other truly crazy, so I take that as a good sign.

Here's to three years, and hopefully even more to come.

In other news...

Let's see...I've got random news that's sort of old, but still news. About...two or three weeks ago? I was soldering a ring in JD (jewelry design, of course), and I went to pick it up with a pair of tweezers so I could dunk it in a bowl of water nearby and make it...well, not evil and burning. Unfortunately, the ring slipped out of the tweezers...guess I didn't pick them up properly, I don't know. But y'know how when you drop something, you try to catch it out of reflex?

Yeah. Ring that was hanging out in 1200 degree flame. I caught it perfectly between my thumb and index finger...only to drop it and curse when it burned my fingers. I swear to the gods, I thought the skin was melting off my fingers. It felt like it. It might've just been the silver from the ring or something, I don't know, but it was awful. I called mom to pick me up and took the rest of the day off of school. The whole thing was made worse by the fact that this was my dominant hand, my right hand, that I'd ******** up. After getting over the initial shock and pain (sort of, I bought a can of Coke Zero and held onto it cuz it was cold and made my fingers not hurt), one of the first things I did was groan and say "my trigger finger!" As in, "How am I supposed to game like this?!"

(I did, it was just Sims 3, and I had to keep my fingers on ice for a while.)

The skin around the burned areas was yellow and the ring left a nasty imprint that stayed for days. I couldn't handle anything hot, and the skin started to peel after a few days. Luckily for me, it wasn't anything bad enough to need medical attention, and it healed up on its own, but it was awful while it was there. Couldn't handle hot things (plates with food on then, things like that) for a while.

EDIT: And yes, I was tempted to make a few dorky Lord of the Rings references, but restrained myself, since, y'know, I was in terrible pain at the time. Joe did so later...least until I showed him the ring was silver, now gold. Then he was disappointed.

To balance that out with something somewhat amusing, I freaked people out with my GLaDOS voice on Rock Band a few days later by scoring a perfect 100% on Expert on Still Alive my first time playing. It was amazing, and I traumatized a couple of people lol "She's...hitting all the note perfectly...HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?!" And earlier that day, I've proved that I'm even a bit of a sniper while playing mini-golf when I almost killed Joe on three separate occasions...with my golf ball. the best of them is when the ball ended up bouncing up to a previous hole and almost going back in the hole. Seriously, I couldn't stop laughing, it was great. Joe learned to stand behind me when I took my shots, for fear I would kill him. That same shot where the ball flew to the hole before? That was probably when he decided that, since I almost took his head off with that shot; if he hadn't ducked at just the right time...BOOM, HEADSHOT! Not saying I wanted to hurt and/or kill Joe, but it was still hilarious. To me, at least.

Triforce-Kun: Reinventing headshots since 2010. (I think it was actually since 2009, but I forget what the other weird headshots were.)

That aside, haven't been up to too much lately. I've bee sick with the flu for a week now, and I'm still not feeling completely better. I thought I was...then it flared up again. Ugh...this also means I've missed a week of class, and I'm so ******** when I get back to school tomorrow. Noooo...

Well, I'll leave you with this wordy journal. 'til next time, guys!

s**t s**t s**t s**t s**t

OH MY GOD

Okay, so...I've been out sick all week, meaning I didn't got to class. I went to check my classes today online, to see what I've missed and if there were any assignments I needed to print out for my physanth class...

Only to find out I've been dropped from my classes. All of them.

Oh god oh god oh god. I don't know what to do. Mom is gonna be so PISSED when she finds out, ugh, ********.

I'm totally, completely panicked! What the hell?! It was only a week. I missed class last semester, too, when I was sick, but they didn't ******** drop me. Oh my gooood...

I have no idea what to do right now. I just don't want to know how mom is going to react to this :[
