Diane’s World

This band (Brand New) has been a top band of mine since Junior year in high school. The song I chose is called “Jesus Christ” - Click out the lyrics here.(WHICH BY THE WAY - I don’t currently own that CD (it’s called “The Devil and God are Raging Inside of Me”), so whatever sibling/sibling-in-law of mine has my name for our Christmas secret Santa gift thing…. add it to the already long CD wish list I gave you )Ok enough of the music stuff.

2) This week went by very fast.

I’ll have art to show next week - I don’t have anything interesting finished lately. I know, you all are upset. Well get over it.

Let’s just say, I HATE painting eyes right now.

Woah I almost forgot about PANDEMONIUM!

Pandemonium is something the Senior art Majors do every year. We take large sheets of paper and do some pastel drawings in public! Each senior made a different drawing (with assistance of a drawing I student) as we blasted a CD made by our class (everybody got to choose a song. Of course I chose “Nur Ein Wort” by Wir Sind Helden. I didn’t even have to tell people it was my song because I’m the only idiot who would chose a German indie song. ha.) .

The drawings turned out exceptionally well. Here they are!:

…

Guess which one’s mine?

This one! And here’s me next to it so show you how big it is:

And here are all of them together (the other half is on the other side)

3) I can’t believe my favorite little monkey - my dear little nephew, Patrick - is already THREE YEARS OLD!

Way to go Patrick! I love him immensely and I am upset that I am not there to celebrate his birthday with him! Go to my Sister’s Family’s site to see the pictures of the event I had to miss out on.

However, my dear mother is coming to visit me in a week! Mom, I look forward to having you in Iowa for once!

4) Guess what I decided to do the moment my mom leaves me?

I am going to attempt to be VEGETARIAN for a month!

HA!

Actually, no I didn’t all the sudden decide to go PETA. I am not even an animal rights activist. And yes, I actually do enjoy meat. I just want to learn how to live a healthier more environmentally friendly lifestyle. I probably won’t stay vegetarian for long after the month, but I hope that I will learn to make simple choices that don’t put a strain on our earth’s resources.

And, yes I have thought about my iron deficiency. I am just hoping that iron supplements and iron-rich vegetables will be enough to keep myself and alive and active.

5) Laura and I went shoe shopping this weekend. We both needed basically the same kind of shoe. I do believe we went to over 10 stores…

I HAD NO CLUE how hard it is just to find a simple pair of brown semi-casual shoes that don’t cost waaaaaaay too much!

However, after a few hours we both FINALLY CAME UP WITH SOMETHING.

(Mom, remember that pair of shoes you threw away this summer because they were getting too old/smelly? HA! They are back!!!)

DUN DUN DUN!

Yeah. That was basically the highlight of our weekend. Oh and watching Saw with Laura and Jerry. (I am a WIMP when it comes to scary movies - I do believe I had a blanket over my head for over 1/4th of the movie… and this is the second time I’ve seen it.)

OH and we went to the Lacrosse game to see Jerry dance. (muwahah!) But… since I had to babysit the art gallery, we were too late. And now I’m sad that I didn’t get to see Jerry dance. But here is Laura and I at the Lacrosse game:

Here’s Laura dead after the Lacrosse game (I randomly found her lying on the ground of our room):

Jeremiah came to our room later to try and be artistic:

and then tried to be emo. Oh Jerry.

Ok I get it. I can just imagine half of you saying “Shut up, Diane. We’ve had enough of you for a week.”

So therefore, I am shutting up. Have a wonderful week everybody!
