It's really hot today.
I'm just looking forward to feeling the cold ocean waves on Sunday--there's nothing in the world like it. :)
That was random.

Heroes, Meteors and Islands--oh my!
Just started watching Heroes...it's like Lost all over again, although I definitely think Lost is wayyy better. I watched five seasons of Lost in a month...I'm gonna try and see if I can get through three seasons of Heroes in a week and a half. I'm pretty confident I can do it. We'll see.
In other news: there's a meteor shower tonight. How does one go about meteor watching? Well, I'm about to find that out too...maybe I'll get super powers!! (Yes, Heroes has gone to my head already and I'm just two days in. I'm pathetic.)

I need a vacation from vacation.
I've got nothing.
I'm really bored and my friends area all busy, my mom's out and my dad's falling asleep in front of the TV. I NEED ADVENTURE.
Right now I'm dreaming of going exploring in the hills behind my house...even though I know if I actually did that, my mom would kill me, I might get eaten by a mountain lion and the guy who owns the private property would probably call the cops. But in a perfect world, I'd be so there!
I want to explore, to walk through big fields of grass or flowers with a walking stick. :) Or build a fort or a treehouse or something...I never did that as a kid. I'm going to be 18 soon. Ugh. I think I've already hit the mid-life crisis. Or would this just be called the "Pre-life Crisis"? Maybe. I don't know.
I was reading the amazing book "The Giver" by Louis Lowry last Saturday morning (well actually I read the whole thing--it's a wee little booklet)--LOVE IT. I must have read that book at least 20 times by now. It's been one of my favorites for a long time...I don't really even know when I read it the first time...I must have been really little though because I know we read it in 8th grade and it had already been years since I'd first gone through my Giver-binge cycle, so. Anyway, I re-read it, loved it again, almost cried several times and have since been devoted to making Giver-related fan-art. =P Ha. I'm such a geek.
Right now I've got a few ideas and one actually piece in process. I forgot how much I suck at drawing people's body's. But otherwise it looks pretty cool. I'll upload a picture when I'm done with it...or at least when I've gotten a little farther. It's a picture of Jonas and Gabriel sitting all exhausted and starved on the red sled at the top of the hill, about to slide their way into Elsewhere. The background has, of course, lots of snow and trees, but there's also patches of vivid green grass that crops up amidst ths snow and a river that winds from the horizon off the side of the page and a path that leads way back into the distance until you can't see it anymore. The idea behind the background was that the part nearest the foreground, where Jonas and Gabriel are, would be vividly colorful, vivid green grasses and trees, bright reds and yellows and violets for flowers and brilliantly blue water but as it moves back into the distance towards "The City" the colors all fade slowly into grey tones just like Jonas' old world.
I know I'm going to screw it up, but it's better than sitting around playing Sims or lying on my back and watching the fan spin. *rolleyes*
Here's to another day!
