HYPERBOLE FOR THIS JOURNAL ENTRY!
"My sister wears so much make-up so that when she smiles, her cheeks fall off!"
Life is so... dreary these days. It's getting warmer. The sun's coming up earlier. I keep getting less and less homework done. And the most annoying part? I keep on getting less sleep. Why does my family have dinner at 9? Why not 8? Then I could go to sleep at the proper time and actually wake up in the morning!
Another thing that's weird: I've lost too many people's trust. I'm not complaining, because I know it was coming, but it hurts all the same. Good thing it happened now though, instead of later in life. Helloo-- Personality and lifestyle minor change.
I'm too tired right now to actually write a decent journal post. I wish I didn't have so much homework to do. Maybe I should do something about it.
One of the most annoying things is that I was eating lunch in the UpperSchool office for the last 2 days because I got in trouble, and during that time, I didn't have any homework because I finished it all then. Now, I'm back in the lunchroom, and I didn't even finish my lunch today. I'm thinking foresaking lunchtime sometime to just finish homework. I just really don't feel like doing stuff right now. Just falling asleep. BUT I have homework, dinner, and who knows what else to do today.
What a useless post.
I know many people's lives are much, much worse than mines, and I understand that. However, all people complain.
I need to put up another decent post.
Good day/night, folks.
Calli.

Plus Minus 4 Months

I have no idea why I still have a skin for my journal entry even if I don't have a premium membership. Maybe dA screwed up, like it does sometimes. But now Im typing on an amazing blue background. Yipee.
ONE.
It's been a freaking four months since I last updated my gallery. I have no reasons for this. Well, now Im mostly doing fanart and history-notebook doodles instead of actual digital art. Although my sketch book is begging for me to have my friend scan something in and make me finish it. Digitally. 2 sketches, 1 info-graphic (which I am currently working on in Bio), owl-doodles all over my notes everywhere (just look at my Math AIMS practice tests - sparkly purple animallineowlcatmontsters everywhere!). I am overly obsessed with owls lately. And mafia hats.
TWO.
My friends have been getting into more and more obscure artists. As says the Amazing Emma:
"Obscure artists are popular these days."
She couldn't be more right. The more you love something that isn't popular, the cooler you are. As a person. Not on a social scale. On an Awesome Scale. Because that totally exists. Someday (maybe at the end of this post) I want to make a list of stuff that contributes to a person's 'cool' level. Because I find myself constantly saying that some awesome person is awesome (because awesome and cool are totally synonyms) yet I need to create an official table explaining my personal officially-Darya cool rating. Or not. Maybe I'll just make a vague list of things that cool people normally have. That sounds better.
Mafia hats are also popular. I bet 1 in every 5 people has a mafia hat. This morning I left mine in the art room at school on the paper-towel-dispenser and it lay there the whole day. When I came back to get it after school, I was told it got lots of questions and strange glances.
THREE.

This is the original.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyAeTJ…
This is the awesomer version. Played by the amazing Aleksandr Oleshko. I remember watching this on TV last year. XD My mom and I sing it sometimes while making food and stuff. It's a part of our culture, and sometimes I laugh when I see people parodying it because I, like my parents, am growing up with this song. Somehow. In my life.
That was deep.
FOUR.
I am too-excited for Doctor Who Series 6. On the other hard, I really want to watch the Hetalia Movie. Dangit, I hate it when I'm in between obsessions. I feel like doing something one second and totally switching gears the other. Like, I'm working on my Doctor-River-Time-line Comparison (so that my other friend has a vague idea what 'personal time-line' means 'cause she's totally confused and I find no way to explain it to her except with an info-graphic) and the next second I'm firing away boss-like orders to another friend who's doing an info-graphic of family trees in Hetalia (now she's making up the different country families and them uniting them through common fan-pairings and history).
FIVE.
I.
Love.
Winter.
Despise.
Summer.
Which is bad when I live in this amazing state. Because I love it so much, yet despise the stupid weather at the same time.
SIX - CONCERNING MY SCHOOL.
Should Basis (here it is assumed that I'm talking about Basis Scottsdale) have uniforms? My group which sits in the corner at lunch had this huge discussion which wasted almost all our lunch time today. I was a voice against uniforms. Of any kind.
The beauty of Basis (yeah, you heard me right) is that because we're such smart students, we can do whatever we want socially. Our life is strict on the academic side, but not on the social side. However, if our lives became 'strict' (coughuniformscough) on the social side, it would be too much. Plus, I believe strongly in originality. If I am not allowed to express my awesome in clothes, heck no will I tolerate uniforms. Why settle for a uniform with bracelets when you can make your whole outfit how you want it to look?
On the other hand, yes it would take less time to dress in the morning. By, like, 2 minutes. The 2 minutes that you spend looking at your clothes, thinking what to wear. 2 minutes. Really. That's why people want uniforms.
And then there comes this: people judge by how you look. If you look bright and happy and energetic, it doesn't matter what clothes you wear, as long as you're groomed and hygienic, no one should care.
And uniforms make us into robots. Robots with faces.
SEVEN.
My favorite teachers, currently, are Brist, Nishan, and Pete. Even though I don't have Pete. I don't know why I chose these three teachers. Brist and Nish let me draw in their classes, so that's a plus. I also drew in Pete's class, but totally failed chemistry because of that. I've learned not to even dare doodle in fear of a grade lower than the one I have now.
HYPERBOLE FOR THIS JOURNAL ENTRY.
My brother puts so much gel on his hair that at the end of the day we can break his hair off.
That was a bad hyperbole.
Good night, folks. Or day. Which ever you prefer.

Internet Culture
7 min read
Internet Culture fascinates me.
After spending about 30 minutes on Wikipedia, just reading about it, I can only say 'wow'. This amazing machine called the World Wide Web has affected the world so much! I mean, ANYONE, anyone with wither talent or charm or any extraordinary skills can make it onto the Internet, become known, be heard (or read), be watched, be talked to! How amazing, that I don't know many of my watchers, yet they keep track of all the work I put on this amazing site, deviantART?
How amazing is it that so many people, with varying lives, interests, hobbies, loves, can band together under one figurative-roof-literal-site and just chill? I love it that we all share something in common: we all leave, just for a few minutes, our normal real lives and extend our minds towards the cyberspace. We all just sit at a desk, staring at a screen (or not sitting at a desk, or not looking at a screen). We all band together on various sites, artists to deviantART, directors and video-makers to YouTube, social butterflies to FaceBook, intellectuals to Wikipedia! How amazing, wonderful, astonishing this Internet is!
Another thing that really blows my mind is how much STUFF is on here. I can search ANYTHING, AAAANNNNYYYTTHHHIIING on the Internet that I definitely won't find in real life (who in real life would show me a nice article on the History of Gallifrey?). I can look for anyone with a certain talent, and I'll probably find them.
Internet Culture is so fascinating and really, really, affects my life. 'Trolling' is a word commonly used between my circle of friends, as is 'loled' (past tense of loling), 'omgeed' (past tense of 'omging'), 'Ima cake' (as in, the cake is a lie, and since Ima cake, I just lied. Woops). I don't remember any more off the top of my head since all these terms seem so... normal nao. Woops. I mean NOW.
It's like, its a whole new world inside a computer. Those inexperienced in a certain culture are outsiders in that culture. Same with the Internet. On every new site I need to read the 'local' jargon, learn the etiquette (have you noticed that most people reply to comments as soon as they can and don't even consider it etiquette?), learn the formatting and the basics of a site and it's users before I immerse myself in it. Like, I feel guilty if I don't give a llama to whoever gave me a llama first. I always make sure to capitalize all my letters and I honestly try to proofread my comments and walls of text before I post them. Honestly, I try, believe it or not. It seems like common etiquette to me.
A week ago, my family contacted the rest of my family in Russia during their party celebrating my Grandpa's birthday via Skype. It was INSANE. I WAS FREAKING TALKING TO MY FAMILY WHICH I HAVEN'T SEEN IN 7 MONTHS AND THEY'RE RIGHT THERE AND I CAN HEAR THEM AND TALK TO THEM AND LOOK AT THEM AND THEY CAN LOOK AT ME AND TALK TO ME AND WE CAN COMMUNICATE - EVEN IF THEY'RE ON THE OTHER FREAKING SIDE OF THE WORLD.
Yes, those caps were necessary.
I only use caps and cussing to show my intense feelings toward something.
Wink wink hint hint.
I feel as if my passion-train is running low on gas.
HYPERBOLE FOR THIS JOURNAL ENTRY!
'Yo mamma so shtupid that she tripped over a wireless phone.'
--Insert New Topic Idea Here--
The reason I have been gone for so long is that Ive changed obsessions. Before, during Winter Break, I had too much time on my hands so I revisited my old childhood favorite shows, Avatar: The Last Airbender and American Dragon: Jake Long. When school started, my horrible yet awesome friend
reintroduced me to Doctor Who, a sci-fi show by BBC featuring a time-traveling alien. I watched it before, two years ago, during my summer visit to Russia, and it was the best show on CTC at that time. I remember my mom, my cousin, my brother and I gangin up on the television and staring at the screen like this 0_0 and going OMGOMGOMGOMGNOOOO at moments of pure epic. Not exactly in that way (Internet Culture anyone?), but I'm sure you, dead reader, get the point. Continuing, Pipelette started obsessing over it and she got me hooked. Once I started watching the trailers, I knew that this will turn into a full-blown obsession.
Now, a month and a half has passed. Nearly all non-Doctor-Who-related doodles have disappeared from the newest pages of my history notebook. I wore a bow tie and top hat annnnnnndddd tweed-jacket-thing to school. I use a small tin telephone booth can box thing (formerly used for Ahmad English Breakfast Tea) to keep my snacks cool during school. I wrote 'BAD WOLF' all over my locker in Expo marker. Then someone came along and erased most of it. >
I have dutifully brought my history notebook back home in order to horribly photograph the little doodles with my web-cam (and study for that upcoming test on the Unification of Italy and Germany). The pictures should be coming onto dA sooner or later, no worries.
Glad you read this ginormous, amazing, somewhat-nostalgic, awesome, enormous, overly-spell-checked essay thing.

Because of the amazing 
's Hetlia holiday contest, I have a one-month premium membership! Thank you so much. 
Now, to test it out, this journal should be in a different, awesome, winter-snowflake skin...
I can view so much more pictures on each page now, and its so strange not seeing that 'premium members only' sign everywhere - CUZ IM ONE NOW. MUAHAHAHAHA.
