I updated my origami store on etsy. I added a number of larger, more expensive items, as well as dropping the price on smaller ones. If you feel like it, pop on over, and take a look at what I have so far. I plan on adding more in the future, but any purchases now will help me pursue this further!

You'll also need a craft knife, and a long straight edge to use as a guide. I use an aluminum yard stick that I just had lying around.

PLEASE READ: The above tracing paper is slightly bigger than 19x24 and has different widths on both ends. You will need to cut a small sliver of paper off in order to get rid of the unevenness so you can get the maximum practical size square that can be made from it, which is 19x19 inches. Pick a long side as a starting point, and cut all other sides except for that one.

HOLY SHIT WHY
I just spent about 2 hours trying to cut a 19x24 inch piece of Strathmore 300 Series into a 19x19 inch square. I wasted about 5 pieces of paper. Come to find out, It's not the same width on both ends. There is a difference of about 2-3 millimeters between the two short ends of the paper, and this difference is infuriating! Luckily, the paper is a little over 19 inches by about another 2-3 millimeters, so I thought I could just measure it as 19 exactly, and cut the extra bits off, which would remove the difference in width when measured from one side. WELL IT DIDN'T WORK. So now I'm just gonna spend the rest of the day in a bad mood. I submitted a query to the Origami Forums to see if anyone there knows, so maybe that will come through for me. I love origami, but sometimes I just need a fucking break from it.

The last time I had surgery I was too young to remember the whole experience, so this was pretty new to me. I was out for three hours, but it felt like less than a second. The first thing I did was ask the nurse if my surgery was over, then I closed closed my eyes. I asked her about four more times after that. for some reason I didn't believe that what was happening wasn't a dream. I fought my drowsiness as hard as possible, being as cheerful as I could, waving at anyone who looked in my direction. Well, it wasn't a wave as much as it was just a hand lift. The first thing I did when they wheeled me back to my room was give my mom a high five. It took two attempts because her delivery on the first one was less than satisfactory.
By far the worst part of this whole experience is having to wash the stitches. I'm usually not very squeemish when it comes to seeing blood or wounds, but having to touch it is almost too much for me. The good news is I should get used to it after the first few times, and it won't be a problem after that.

So, yeah, that was my experience, what about yours? Have anything similar happen to you?

I had my surgery on tuesday. Today is sunday and I'm feeling much better! I only had to change the gauze for about 3 days, just once a day. It was painful, but also quite uncomfortable. I no longer have to repack it or put gauze over it. It's not draining fluid everywhere. It's still wide open. I still feel weird touching it, though. It's not supposed to be there, and that freaks me out.

But yeah, I'm doing alright!

Fuck. My. Life.
Apparently the road is long, winding, and littered with pus, blood, and gauze that has to be replaced twice a day. I've never put my fingers in an open wound, but there a time for everything apparently.

If anyone considers themselves a expert hunter, maybe we can set something up? I don't mind of you're not that far in the game. I keep all my armor sets, so I can always downscale if need be.
Reply on your situation and maybe I can get a schedule of some kind going. I know planning ahead may not be the best option, but college exams are just on the horizon, so it's the best I can do.
I'm a skilled Deviljho hunter, if that maybe helps. 60 kills and counting.

I'm so fucking happy right now! 12GB up from a measly 2GB. HP Pavillion with Windows 8, or as I like to call it, Windows[7].

My cpu is dying a slow and painful death. I knew it would happen eventually. I recently saw and error message telling me that my computer is using too much ram. I guess I'll just have to start saving up for a new one. FUCKFHDNDJRJNHFBBDBEXHFUCK

*In Matt's voice from TBFP* FUCK YOU POKEMON!!!

Oh I rush and rush until life's no fun
All I really gotta do is live and die
But I'm in a hurry and don't know why!

Why was I not born earlier!?
I may not have been around when this song came out, but I still love it. It has such a great sound. BTW..

I'm not dead, not that I'm popular enough on here for anyone to assume that. I've just been very preoccupied with everything else on the internet. I would say that college has been keeping me busy, but everyone knows that's bullshit. I've always made sure that school will never keep me busy. To tell the truth, posting just isn't as fun as it used to be. I don't know what else to say. I come on FA every single day, so it isn't like I'm just not around. I guess I just don't get the kick out of it that I used to.

[immediate edit]:
Sometimes, my OCD can work wonders. I mean, look at that gloriously written journal! Why am I so proud of it?

It's the greatest stealth-asassin/pirate game ever made!!

Teem, UNITE UP!!!

So I was arguing with this guy on deviantart, and we were going back and forth about stupid shit that really isn't worth arguing over. He decided to end an impressively strong rebuttal by.. complimenting my origami? Ummm okaaayy. That pretty much ended the argument right there as I was too busy smiling and thanking him to be angry enough to continue the argument. Holy shit. Some people are really fucking nice. This literally made my day. I hope you guys get some enjoyment from that little anecdote.

I had to get a check up today, as well as a few vaccinations. I walked into the waiting room calm as ever. I was even ok sitting in the check up room. Ten came that stupid little finger prick. I fucking lost it. I almost immediately began breathing really really heavily and my heart rate shot up. I'm not sure wht is was at initially, but a few minutes later it was at around 150 bpm as the doctor was listening to it.

I don't think I've ever lost my cool that quickly. It was definitely a new experience for me, and it left me questioning many tings about the way I present myself to other people. I'm not usually the calmest person in any stressful situation, but it's never been that bad. I felt weak and vulnerable, as if the 'me' that I project to others fell apart and left the real me open to the elements.

It also brought my crippling fear of bees and wasps back into to question. I used to be so scared of them that I couldn't go outside when they were in the area. When I was in elementary school, There was one particular incident where one landed on the front of my shirt. It was probably the worst meltdown I've ever had.

A hard as it may seem for me to share this, Te anonymity of the internet gives me a place to vent. I feel much more comfortable talking about it in my journals tan anywhere else.

Personally I love Kettle Brand's fully loaded baked potato. I don't think I ever tasted anything closer to what it was trying to be. Man, I could really go for some right now. But I'm tired and need sleep.

So I've had this stuffed bunny in my room since I was two years old and I used to cuddle with it when I slept. I still think of it as some kind of pseudo-person. As if it has enough of a consciousness to see what I'm doing and hear what I'm saying.
Do you still think of your stuffed animals that way?
Oh, yea, his name is Bunny. It's very original.

Because it made me cry *sobs* IT'S SUCH A GOOD MOVIE!!!!!!

In my psychology class, which happens to be the only class that I truly enjoy, we have bellwork questions each day. Just something to get us in the mindset. One of the questions we had was "What was the best day of your life?" I gave some bullshit answer and let it be. But I got to thinking about it, and it led me to the question "What is your most enjoyable memory?" I though back to a time when I was around 4-6 years old. I was at my grandmother's house and my cousin was there as well. He introduced me to something that I have loved ever since. Video games. The N64, to be more specific. We played Goldeneye and Mario 64. I figured out the controls, but I didn't understand the objective. I died a lot in 007, and drowned once in Mario 64. It is one of the fondest memories I had as a child. Ever since, I have found myself drawn to the freedom that video games give me.
He also taught me the first few lines of "Baby Got Back".
.....
What is your fondest memory?

Sometime I want to slap it on the wrist. Other times I want to bend it over my knee and give the once-around with a belt. I really wish there was a blacklist for browsing. So I wouldn't have to look at giant cocks and overly massive breasts. And muscly motherfuckers that can't move their arms.

I'm really sorry for that last journal. I gotta stop being so mopey and depressed.

Because why not.

Where do I start? Today my little sister had a fit because she had to put away her game because school starts tomorrow for her. It wasn't just a little whine. It was a full blown "shut the tv off ad everyone go to bed fit". What's wrong with that? She's nine years old. Nine year old kids don't cry for 20 minutes about a stupid game. But I know what it's like. I was there. I did that once...

I (and everyone in my family) have this little thing called ADHD. You may be thinking that ADHD is just an excuse. Well, sadly, some people use it as one. For me, however, it's a massive chunk of who I am. I'm very anti-social, but I didn't used to be this way. I used to be very outgoing and happy. What's the problem with that? I didn't know how...

I never knew why I was picked on at school. I assumed that the other kids were just being mean to me. I didn't know how strange my behavior was. My mom used to tell me that I should behave better. I usually replied with something along the lines of "I don't care what they think". That was in middle school. What I didn't know was that they had formed opinions of me that only just two years ago I figured out. How did I figure these opinions out?...

I did come across some kids in high school that were a lot like me. They were, and still are, going through the same stuff I have. they behaved strangely, talked about weird things, and didn't really know how to make friends. I realized that their story was not unlike mine, but only after I had made fun of them and picked on them. I know that makes me a bad person, but I was just doing what everyone else was doing. I was just following the crowd....

What brings me the most sadness is knowing that my little sister is going to have to go through all of that, just like me and my big sister did. I just feel powerless to help her. I could tell her what I'd learned. But she, like me, won't listen. I'm just so upset right now. All these painful memories. I think I'm just gona sleep it off, maybe....

Yeah InsomniacOvrLrd perma banned me from the stream. To be honest, I really don't get what his problem is. I know it's my fault.I just don't know why. I can't seem to get anyone to understand me. He seems to think that I was being rude or something. I'm gonna try and fix things. If you watch any streams that could use a few more people, I'd be glad to join in. Even for just a short while.
Maybe I should get back on my ADHD meds. I tried to ween myself from them but it doesn't seem to be working out very well.
I hope you're not bothered by my troubles. I'm not a big pity person, but I screwed up and I just feel so bad about it.

Some people are very confused as to what the higgs boson particle is. I watch one video on youtube and I completely understand it. It is the existence that makes up nonexistence. The space between spaces, if you will.
