Holidays, Valentines and the world..

I have 3 mini cactuses/cacti sitting on my desk. They're pretty awesome because they don't die as easily as Bonsai trees. I had one and after like 2 weeks I went on holiday and forgot to ask my sister to water it; it died. I'm not so good with plants, but I do like them a lot.. but you know what I hate right now? Roses. It's that fabulous day of the year guys, it's Valentine's day! Why am I not jumping around throwing rose petals at people? Because I hate this day. I guess I hate it because I'm single, but hey seriously, it is really all a commercial deal. I mean I will probably stick with that theory until I find that perfect guy, not that I haven't found him, he just hasn't found me.

Anyway, enough about the day of the lovers and back to this blog. These past two days have been excruciatingly boring. The holidays have started and most of my friends have gone skiing and I'm here, at home with my family. I'm not much of a "family time" kind of person, but oh well I suppose it'll do me some good? Seen as I haven't had much to do but sit here and stare at my computer screen or read a few pages of Catcher in the Rye, I decided that maybe I should practise drawing a bit more. I used to draw A LOT a while ago and I really wasn't too bad. Now, well let's say I'm a bit rusty. So, I printed out a picture of Emma Watson and decided to trace some outlines and fill in the rest. Here's what it turned out to be...

Oh god.. it's terrible :S

I only notice how awful my drawigs are when I see pictures of them! But yes, I intend to practise a lot more these days when I have free time. Hopefully I'll get inspired and do something of my own, because that hasn't happened in a while! Oh! I also did something incredibly extraordinary: I cleaned my desk up!! Yay! It literally was a massive pile of paper, books, files and anything you can possibly imagine piled up on a desk. It was painful to watch, so seen as I'm having guests over soon, I thought it'd be nice to have a nice, tidy(ish) room. Also, I had to make myself a schedule for this week, that's sort of sad.. My friends are coming over from Finland and Sweden on Friday, so this whole week I have to do all my homework and study for tests that I have the first week back. These are all things I will never get round to doing while my friends are over. So, I must say I'm quite proud of myself for that and hopefully I won't procrastinate like usual and I'll actually get most of it, if not all of it, done by Friday. Also, TSR girls: If you have a formspring account, leave me a comment with the link and I shall make it my priority to ask each of you a question every day of this week! As you know, I'm really bored so go ahead and ask me anything here! (The link is also under 'Ask me anything' in the sidebar)
