Honestly, what's all the big hype about? It's just another year we have less to live. So I try & shove as much as possible into one year as I can. 2011 I can say was a lazy year. I didn't exactly accomplish much. By the by, it's still 2012.
I mean, the world definitely had some changes, though. I watched this video & it made tears well in my eyes. So I suppose I can see what some of the celebration is about.
Drew something new today. Click on it to enlarge. Viola!;
Totally psyching about my Honors US History project. I should probably go do that, now that I think of it. I'm dying for vacation already. It's to the point where I feel the need to beg nature to get me sick. Yes, do come hither pneumonia - hit me w/ everything you got.
Oh & this is supposed to be a picture of me, just b-t-dubs.
Year of Silence by user7366404
December. It's one of my favourite months. The glittering, snow laden earth is silent, white, and consequently beautiful. The frost nips at the end of your nose and you now have a legitimate excuse to drink hot cocoa. Yep, that's how I view December.
So it snowed about a week ago and then it rained, like, two nights ago and now there's barely any snow left. Grrr. I happen to find the snow quite enjoyable. Well...until the sand trucks come by and dump hideous brown everywhere. Ugh.
Aside from that I was searching through the internet (as I often do) and found a Gemini Personality page. Normally, only about half of that stuff is true for me, but this was scary how accurate this was. Here are some things that were especially accurate in terms of me (and I will put my comments in a different color, let's say this Blue/Green/Grayish color); 1. The key phrase that best describes the Twins is “I think.” (Possibly one of my most overused sentences.) 2. Your mind never stops which can also makes you a bit on the nervous side but at least you are never boring and then again you may not be sticking around very long to become boring. (Aside from always getting jitters and being prone to anxiety attacks, I don't think I'm ever boring only because I'm so random. If not boring, then at least worthy of receiving a WTF.) 3. ...all this intense curiosity can leave you mentally drained causing you to retreat to recharge that others see as being moody... (My "me-time" is very important to me, and I will bite if provoked during it.) 4. ...portrayed as young children, and the curiosity of the youthful mind that is often reckless and impertinent also describes the Gemini temperament. (BAHAHAHAHA, okay, true story: "Okay, yeah, let's go do that!" *walks into tree*, "well that wasn't supposed to happen.") 5. You often take nothing seriously, or at least you don't delve long into anything too heavy, much like the innocent child. (Sadly enough, no, I don't take things seriously. I think that's why I'm so relaxed if I receive one F on a test or quiz in an honors class [not to mention my grade was probably a 90 or above to begin w/].) 6. ...you like intrigue, the excitement of the chase, but once you have made your conquest, you lose interest and begin looking around for the next adventure. (Sam agrees w/ this one, I get bored rather quickly w/ my stuff I already have.) 7. Even at your worst you are never boring - there is usually playfulness below the surface, and you can be brilliant conversationalists - but you can also be contrary, quarrelsome, and fickle. (I AM SO FICKLE. I never can make up my mind...ever.) 8. Physically Gemini’s are energetic, mentally high-strung, consequently often thin in the early years, and very hyper. You do need to watch your weight in later years when everyone’s metabolism tends to slow down because your nervous restlessness can cause many of you to over eat from your fidgety nature. (That slaps me on the knee! I used to be that scrawny five year old who looked like her head was too big for her body. And then...food happened.) 9. Most Gemini’s have a keen, quick, and often brilliant intelligence and you love mental challenges. But your concentration, though intense for a while, does not last. Your mental agility and energy gives you a voracious appetite for knowledge though you dislike the routine and discipline needed to learn or the focus to accomplish difficult educational goals to the end. (Please read boldface when possible.) 10. You are certainly a quick learn with almost everything requiring intelligence and mental dexterity and you are also able to combine this ability with manual skills giving you the potential for talent with your hands that takes a great deal of mental concentration... (Has ADHD. I hate school, but I love learning. I especially love learning when a teacher gets some balls to be good at their job. Hence Curry being the best teacher in the universe.) 11. Your intellect is very analytical and this can give you the ability to quickly discern all sides of a situation. However, this quick vacillation also makes it difficult for you to make up your mind. When faced with problems to solve you have little patience until you find a solution, and often you will just pick up the phone and ask everyone else you know for their input in the situation...Changing horses in the middle of the stream is another small quirk in the Gemini personality that makes decision making, and sticking to a decision, particularly hard for you. (I loathe the times when I have to choose b/w things. I am so freaking indecisive,) 12. In your better moments you may strive to be honest and straightforward, but self-interest is almost always the victor. (Yep. I will rarely do something if I don't get anything out of it.) 13. Creatively you do best with words but also your hands...Your restless, mental nature makes you a natural for being alone and writing for hours, which enables you to focus your brilliant mind, which in turns calms you down. You need to keep your mind focused on a creative outlet to stay centered and on the path towards financial success. (Hence love of words & art.) 14. Because you are detached, logical, rational and analytical you make good scientists. (I admit to experimenting in the kitchen when I was little...and older....) 15. Your financial plan is not to have a plan. Your reliance on adaptability and flexibility often works well for you! You have no trouble finding freelance work, so somehow everything works out. (As long as I'm doing something enjoyable and fresh for a living, I could care less about my financial standing [w/i reason].) 16. You love information, computers, telephones, the Internet, and you were practically born "wired." (Mainly computers & the Internet. I'ma technology freak.) 17. If you ever find yourself with a weight problem at all, it is because of nervous tension. You tend to eat quickly to calm yourself down. But for most twins you eventually get even bored with eating.... (Om nom nom. I love food.) 18. Another aspect of duality that pits the forces of the light and dark is within your body versus your mind. When the left hand hasn’t a clue what is happening in the right or when the mind is so preoccupied with mental processes that the physical body is neglected, that is when you know that the Gemini split is happening internally rather than externally. (That would be a very internal split for me, thank you.) 19. Emotionally as a Gemini you can be evasive, certainly complex and always contrary because of your dual nature. (I am so evasive emotionally. Sarcasm is my middle name. It's a good cover up...and I hate listening to people rant about how awful their lives are. They deserve a high five...in the face...with a chair.) 20. Children are wonderful when they are good and infuriating when they are mischievous. Like children you can be lively and happy, or selfish and restless. For you and children life is a game that must always be full of fresh moves and continuous entertainment, free of labor and routine. (I am exceedingly back & forth and much of the time am somewhat immature like a child. I also hate working & I hate routine. I like to just "go with the flow" as they say.) 21. You are also known as the magician and your incredible minds can come up with solutions as if pulled out of a hat that can help other’s see life’s problems in a whole new light. Not only does the Twins entertain us and keep us mentally alive but they come up with original ideas that can light up the world. You may be a handful but genius is never simple. (I personally don't feel that they are super amazing or anything, but I've been told some of my views/ideas/epiphanies are amazing...I still don't believe it, though.)
