I feel like an artist.

I like this font. I think I'll stick with it.

anyway, let's go through my events of the day before I rant it out at my friends and forget it.
Since this week is state testing, freshmen get to come to school and do NOTHING the first half of the day. It's great. We watched a movie called "The ultimate gift", and then wrote down ten things we were grateful for. great movie.
I can't remember what I wrote on my list right now, but it put me in such a good mood. I'll recite it later when I get it back.

Anyway, the second half of the day was much less enjoyable. First, we ate lunch. Now, at my school, we have a funky lunch schedule. There are three lunches, and whichever lunch you get depends on your third period teacher. (Another thing: our schedule goes 1, 5, 2, 3, 4. what? chronological? who?) Since it's weird state testing schedule, all of the freshman had first lunch(along with a handful of other grades.)

So, my friends all sat at the same table plus some other kids. Including tanner and his girlfriend. Not that this bothered me. What bothers me is how damn annoying he's gotten. (For those who don't know, tanner is my ex. 8D)
I don't know what it is, but he's bothering me. Not irritating me like most annoying people do.. No, I just straight out do not like him. Plus, the way he acts with his girlfriend(awkward) reminds me of the way he used to act with me. (awkward.) And it's altogether reminding me of what an unpleasant relationship that was. ghrhgh. Whatever.

Speaking of, I've figured out just why I'm happy being single.
First of all, I was raised by my mother. I love my mom, but she's sliiiightly socially inept. Not to the point where it's noticable, but to the point where she had to teach herself to hug her own children. She was a single mom, and because of that, she was independent, which taught me to be independent.
The second reason is that my views on "love" are quite different from other girls. I really .. don't believe in true love. The perfect guy for me is someone I love and respect, whose views and personality are compatible with mine. Plus infatuation. So.. I generally look for compatible people whom I don't hate do death. So I might find someone really cool, who's really compatible with me(sorry for the overusage of that word), and I get to know them. Soon enough, they become really close friends with me. Best friends. And I'm happy that I have someone to talk to and share my thoughts with. It's like, all my best friends are my boyfriends. I .. really don't need kissy nonsense. I really don't.

IN OTHER NEWS.
My art got rlly cool awards, right?
Well, in math class we were volunteering to do these presentations for an architectural project we did, so I volunteered and our student teacher is like, "Kaitlin, you'll be second-- OH CONGRATULATIONS ON THE ARTWORK!"
The class is like, wha?
ST: "Kaitlin entered a drawing into the, uh.."
Maff: "Spring fair creative kids competition."
ST: "And she did a great job!"
Maff: "First place, best in category, and grand champ ribbons!"
and the whole class FREAKS out. 8D Everyone's liek whaa?! whats it look like?! flippin out and stuff, it was great.
So I promised them I'd bring it in on wednesday because I have to pick it up tuesday after school C:
Apparently my art teacher saw my awards and sent out emails to like, all my teachers ahaha 8D

Eight days until my haircut <3>

Busy busy!

Today was amazing.(lately all my days have been. @_@)

I woke up, and hadn't showered the night before because I was too tired, and I didn't even have to do anything to my hair @w@ it was perfeeect! didn't have to put on makeup, either, since it hadn't washed off the night before. Th.. that's a sign that my day was going to be good. right there.

So, we got to church, and this one was... I don't know. Especially good. I love going to church.. I don't know why josh doesn't like going.. @_@
Went to lunch with my aunt and grandmother, who had joined us at church, and talked to them about my AWARDS 8D and other stuff. That was fun; I always enjoy spending time with family.

So I went home, and cleaned. Yeah, kan. I cleaned. And I enjoyed it. I was GOING to clean, like, the whole house, but then an acquaintance of mine texted me and reminded me that I had homework and I had to do stuff for a group assignment orz" so I worked on that. On the bright side, I didn't forget until bedtime to do it, so. Hooray anti-procrastination. What would that be called?...

Synonyms:	adjourn, be dilatory, cool*, dally, dawdle, defer, drag, drag one's feet, give the run around, goldbrick, hang fire, hesitate, hold off, lag*, let slide, linger, loiter, pause, play a waiting game, play for time, poke*, postpone, prolong, protract, retard, shilly-shally*, stall, stay, suspend, tarry, temporize, wait
Antonyms:	accelerate, advance, complete, do, finish, go ahead, quicken

Hmm. Well, whatever.

As I was saying... I was working on mom's computer(not her laptop) with the printer, and I went away to clean a bit more. The screensaver on this computer is the one where it scrolls through all of your pictures.
So, I come back and see this rlly old picture of me. I was like lolwat?

I then decided to look through all of the old pictures on this computer. @__@ Holy hell. I have changed sooo much.

Okay, for those of you who don't know, in sixth grade I had super long hair, and then I chopped it off to around shoulder-length. Later that year, I dyed a blue streak into it. Basically, I was the most epic person you'd ever meet.
lolol.

Here are some of my old pictures: LOLOL WASNT I COOL 8DD

























I especially like this one -->
I was so cute! C:

The fair!

Mmm. Today C:

So, I drew this portrait of a friend, right? http://lemaffin.deviantart.com/art/the-vibrant-118998685
I entered it into the spring fair's art competition. Guess what?

1st place, best in category, and GRAND CHAMPION ribbons. 8DD I'm so happy C: Grats to Sohma on 2nd place! even though she's now christopher agustin and 7 years old orz"
(they switched her nametag with some other kid's)

A few friends and I are secretly plotting for soh's birthday. C: She knows this. And she's following me right now, so i can't give out details, rrrr.

On the subject of art(are we still on that subject?), I got into a joint art shop on gaia! I'm now selling commissions and Imma be FILTHY RICH <3 http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/art-shops-and-requests/t-e-a-p-a-r-t-y-f-o-r-s-i-x-open-new-artist-reserve/t.48847229_1/


In other news, society and humanity people in general are starting to frustrate me.
*gets back to drawing*

There's this feeling...

Today was a good day. I dunno, I could just feel it.

I felt like the 80's today, which is always a good thing. I love it when I go crazy with my outfits and end up looking like a ROCKSTAR. It makes me feel happy inside. <3> MY NON-DA WORTHY DRAWINGS 8DDD I've been drawing some avatar art for Gaia lately, so here are the few that I've gotten done. C:

Let me explain.

My blog title is "Streamside", and I forgot to explain that bit. lolol;;

So about 3 years ago, even longer, I started playing this MMO called Ragnarok Online, right? About a year into the game I met one of my best friends, Tracy. Through the years, we made it a habit to go to a certain map to hang out and slack off.(instead of leveling.)

Well, there was a certain song that played in the background.
Its title was Streamside. Because I love Tracy. Oh, and the link to my blog is mafface.blogspot.com, because she made a habit of calling me mafface instead of maffin 8D which I absolutely hated, but whatever.


I love being able to reminisce with my friends.

I have a few things which qualify whether or not you're a close friend:

1. First of all, you have to be able to reminisce at least a year back with me. I don't know why, it just shows a connection for me. Like, we've been together for a year now, and we can laugh at old stories.
2. The ability to predict what the other person is about to say/do.
3. The ability to cheer me up, or the other way around.
4. How often I tell you stories, or how often I talk to you in general.

I have this belief that you can be best friends with even the most annoying of people, as long as you have the ability to laugh and talk with them.

Hello, world.

So, I decided to make a blog.

I usually just tell my friends about my day or whatever every day, and while I love the idea of a daily journal or a diary, I've never been that great with writing daily.

Blogs are kind of like friends and diaries mixed, right?
So I'll probably do better with this one.


I promise you that this blog will get more interesting as it goes along.
