Making a House A Home

I love my brother for many reasons....
A few go like this:

1. After being home for five minutes, he changed the enough atmosphere of the house. Instead of depressing and uncomfortable... He made home home again. I laughed more than I have in weeks. Maybe months. I'm so happy he's home-- I've cried!

2. My facebook post:

"Today after eating ~ice cream~, my brother Randy brought out the ~pickle~ jar and munched away.
What is he hiding from me?!!"

...He said that he's always liked it that way!!

3. How we know where my photogenic-ness  came from.

(He told me not to post this, but since when have I listened?)

5. I can't live without him. (and that darling face)

Too bad he's so far away...

I just wanted you to see how I pose my own life--- but in Alaina's doll house form!

Something much more important at the moment!!!!!

I never put a picture of my ferret on the internet. Not that I remember.

Heart wrenching. Unbelievable. 

I found one.

Got me a bit upset... Just because of the memories. 

Could it be a sign?

They emailed me that it was something I had submitted (via mail) years ago...
Still.... What a flashback!

One o'clock Ramblings

I'm just going to type everything that comes off the top of my head....

Doctors.
They scare the hell out of me with their probing eyes, needles, and scalpels. Yeah, they're beneficial and blah, blah, blah- we all have to admit they're terrifying.
Well, at least to me. Cause I've got a doctor's appointment on Tuesday since I found a weird bump on my left breast and don't want to end up looking like my poor rats.
(this isn't my picture, but I think it shows my point.)
Future me isn't looking too good.....

-------------------------

Mockingjay comes out tomorrow!!
The long awaited finale to The Hunger Games series, which I have mentioned before.
If you haven't given it a try, do so now. What a gripping, heart wrenching tale... and finally the conclusion to the trio is out. I'm really regretting pre-ordering the book (since I'm getting it around September 2nd. I didn't know there was going to be a release party at borders...)
That party-- I'm so going to.
4:00 PM. I'm semi-pumped since all my former plans were canceled.
Though I'll kinda be going it alone....
At least I'm going to buy some merch. and new manga- also The Iron Daughter, sequel to The Iron King.
Which are definitely worth a read.
----------

I've got to go soon (being banished to the downstairs realms).
Before I leave, I've got to touch on one last subject----

          NosTale


An adorable MMO, lemme tell you. As my friend Brette told me--- if you want to play the game, avoid the "world server" --hence it's of the world and runs very slowly.
And I'LL be on the UK version, so you'll HAVE to go on it. Problem solved.
I don't know how to explain the game.... but it's so adorable to kill things!!


Here's the basic instructions she gave me:


1. Go to us.mmogame.com and browse the games until you find NosTale.
2. Click and go to "help".
3. Make sure the setting is on "UK" and download!


--You might need an account to the site first, which takes roughly a minute.--


THE WELL DESERVED........

goodnight my lovelies.
<3, Kayla.

CHAMELEON-FEST

I love this big guy. He's all like:

"Okay, moe-foe, I'm not no chihuahua! See this orange? I'm freaking angreh! Don't make me go all gangsta ninja on you and bite your head off. 'Ya hear me?!"

Yes, I hear you.....
No, not really.


----
Who needs a boat when you can be like:
I'm onna PLANT!! I'm on dis plant right 'ere!!

And him....
"Don't make me go all clamp-clampity clamp clamp on you, foo!"

The ever-changing,

Chameleon-chan?

High school registration is tomorrow (3/11/10) And... I'm still pretty unsure- indecisive as always.

It's my brother's birthday today (Bryan), so for once, a hunk of our family got together to celebrate. Huzzah!
Standing in front of Chili's.... this is my argument for why I want to learn French.

"I don't want to take Spanish 'cause I don't want a boyfriend named Pablo!"
Don't take offense, but my dad found this pretty damn hilarious. Well, so did I.
It's true.
Jacque, clear sailing for you, buddie. Lol.

If you know me, you should be aware of the fact that I can be pretty paranoid at times.
I'm afraid of the dark- and open spaces.
So when I saw figures moving in the dark by our house, you think I freaked?
Yeah. I freaked.
Upon closer inspection....
I found out that they were three (huge!) random deer. Just... munching away.
They walked/ tromped off pretty calmly.....
At least my dad knows what's been screwing with the bushes and his ceramics (mushrooms, rabbits, gnomes)

Huh....

Obsession With... Limbless People?!

You heard me right: Limbless people. (The Oblongs) NOT THAT TYPE!

One thing I hate about so many ami's is repeating a pattern over and over and over again. Like with arms, legs, ears, wings, and other extremities. Two of each! Sometimes four!! What's wrong with one?!
That's why when I was working out the kinks of basic crocheting, I deleted those from my characters-- bringing you the Ugly Doll . An uglier Kayla-fied version.
I sold them to my friends and kept others for myself... A pretty sweet deal if I say so myself. I've discontinued making them, but here are two for your viewing enjoyment.

The one to the left is a ami-cature (caricature) of one of my besties, Alaina. The other is a bride- person- thing. As much as I dislike them... they were my firsties- Along with Ugly Owl, Lollipops, Ugly Garlic, A Just Plain Ugly Cat, and beyond. Ahh, memories....

Currently...

I'm working on a snail and a pipe fox.
--
PIPE FOX GLORY!! (these are the pieces...)Sadly, my fox is only about half way done. Half... way... About 60 rows of 120.

Here's the link in case you ever want to make it:

I'm either going to make it my stuffed animal when done or use it as a scarf. Cute either way!
--
The snail's from one of my favorite pattern books. It's jam-packed with the amigurumi-est ami you've ever seen. I want to make them all!!

On another note, I'm finishing up on a season of Spice and Wolf.
Wonderful anime (with subtitles, boo hoo xD)
I can't wait until the next season is released on the internet. I'm getting twitchy.

Eventually... (I'm sooo lazy) I'll make some ami of these guys.
As in: Horo, Lawrence
Moonphase: Hazuki, Kouhei
Inuyasha: Inuyasha, Koga
Sailor Moon: Serena, Luna

It would be cool, anyways.

There's snow outside which equals-- maybe no school tomorrow!!
And I can get on with my obsessions...


Always watching (heh),
