Diane’s World

I figured that it’s about time that I quoted MUSE… it’s only my favorite band.

Invincible is one of their softest songs… I doubt most of my audience would appreciate hardcore MUSE. But if you don’t mind a bit of heavier metal… check them out-> they are nothing short of AMAZING.

Anyways, mom wants an update. (BTW - I’ll call you tomorrow, mom (sunday))…

Wow I haven’t updated in a long time. Well here’s the skinny:

* Two Fridays ago, Laura and I went out to eat in LeMars. It was yum.

* Then the next day I had woke up really early and served at a soup kitchen. I love how friendly people are there and I enjoyed it. I wish I had the opportunity to go more often.
* Then Amanda, Jason and I hung out the rest of the evening - going shopping, watching movies, and went to a Dordt dance. All of which were tons fun.

Then was a week of lots of homework.

I MADE MY FIRST ANIMATION EVER!!! I’m somewhat proud of it, SO YOU MUST CLICK HERE AND WATCH IT!
*Disclaimer: the language is taken directly from Edgar Allen Poe’s Tell Tale Heart… I didn’t write this, he did.

Valentine’s day was fun.

First Amanda and Jason decided to fill my room up with balloons. Crazy kids.

Me, Laura and Rachel had an Anti-Valentine’s Day party.

And we made balloon boyfriends: (it’s tradition now… we did it last year too)

Unfortunately, I had to pop most of the balloons that Amanda and Jason gave me… I
think my roommates were getting annoyed of them.

Then we played sappy music, did the Macerena and the Electric Slide, and ate mass quantities of brownie and cookie dough ice cream.

Or in otherwords, we made being single look like a whole lot of fun.

Valentine’s night, I caught a really nasty cold - one so bad that I skipped classes all thursday and friday. I pretty much slept, ate, watched fresh prince and that 70’s show re-runs, woke laura up in the middle of the night with my odd hacking and coughing, and
felt miserable the whole weekend.

The only time I seemed to get out of the room was for the two hockey games - and that’s only because these were the last two home games.
However, I am still alive… and have made it through yet another tough week of schooling. Honestly, not too many exciting things happen during the weekend.

Tuesday I got my hair cut and died. Now I look a lot like Rachel. Next person to mix us up gets punched (urg…)

Wednesday was Rachel’s Birthday, and I cooked dinner for her. It was yummy. Rachel was spoiled on her birthday, which is good.
Friday was also fun. Hung out with Amanda for a while, then Mallory, Chad, Eric and I went to HuHot - a mongolian restaraunt. Given the Mongolian Grill in Tacoma tastes better and is cheaper, HuHot is a lot like it… just less authentic and more commercialized.

Maybe mom and dad would like to go(?) when you come out to visit for Rachel’s graduation?

Anyways… Saturday I woke up and immediately headed for the Art department.

I don’t know how many of you tried walking outside today, but it was pretty much just sliding on a sheet of ice. I’m shocked that I didn’t fall - but it was trecherous.

This painting:

turned into this:

I think this piece might be finished. We’ll see what VanGeest says.

Also, I started my large-scale painting.

It’s huge… but I have plans. The whole first layer was painted with my feet. No particular reason, it just looked like fun… and believe me, it was)

And then I went to the last basketball game of the season - ironically against our rival school, Northwestern. We lost, it was sad, and I was shocked by Northwestern’s immaturity. I bet Dordt students would’ve been just as immature had we won, but honestly - doesn’t the word “Christian” mean anything to anyone anymore?

Then I did more art, and headed over to Amanda’s room and watched potentially the most rediculous movie ever… “Snakes on a Plane”

It really needs to be advertised as a comedy - I’m pretty sure I was laughing the whole time I watched it. It’s just… rediculous. Absolutely absurd.

And now I’m here… and I’m tired. I hope this satisfied you for a while, mom.

Have a great week, y’all!
