Back from my bird meeting!

pacificpikachuI was right in putting all the 'if's about whether or not Nicole would spend the night, 'cause she didn't. >.>; Oh well--it was maybe a little better that way, as I apparently was rather frustrated. Not over the whole AMV thing, just...emotionally. I dispelled that somewhat by taking out a pen and some paper and downright ranting for several pages, though, about anything and everything that popped to my mind. It was kind of weird, but it vented my feelings fairly well and let me go to sleep with a clean slate in my mind. I kind of wanted to work on my SasuNaru/NaruSaku fanfic after all that writing, but it was close to midnight by the time I was done and therefore I concluded it would be better for me to just go directly to bed.
So, today I woke up, took a shower, grabbed some stuff, and Dad took me out to Jones Bar for the bird meeting. This went...exceptionally well. :O Like--really, really well. I got SO MANY supplies, you all have no idea. About four laundry baskets full, to be exact, laundry baskets included. I'm really fired up about getting in birds, and for the first time now, I feel 100% ready to get the birds in. I also found a nice lady who is probably going to be my partner in crime, in case I need to take a break from having the birds with me or whatever. It's really nice how the people there treat me--because I'm so passionate and take-charge, I'm treated sort of like I'm going to be the next expert. Which I hope to be. ^^ Apparently, years ago there was a 17-year-old girl in the organization who became a real expert on it and taught everyone what they needed to know. I inherited her carrier, so Jacqui says it's fate that I'm going to end up like her. XD;; The class was about...a little over three hours, and most of that was spent scrambling about, getting supplies ready, and getting mini-lessons on how to do everything.
Dad picked me up at about 1:30 PM, and because I was so fired up we went to the Dollar Store and bought yet more supplies. The entire back of Dad's Jeep was filled up with bird supplies. I spent about an hour on the floor in the living room organizing everything, and now it's all on my floor in my room. There's barely any room left in my room for anything, especially floor space. XD; With all the tubs of anime and bird baskets and random stuff... o_o
It's kind of weird... I feel like when I do this rescue stuff, not only do I just enjoy it and think it's great, but lately I've sort of felt like...I'm atoning for something. I don't know what it is, seeing as I haven't really done anything wrong I can think of, but it's helping me heal emotionally. Knowing that I'm helping someone or something else out helps distract me from all the current messed-up state that my mind is in. Plus, I imagine once I get the birds in, it'll be hard to be upset about anything with a bunch of baby birds peeping at me. ^^
Hmmm...speaking of birds, we really need to get the chicken coop back soon. x.x I miss my chickens so much! I keep thinking about them!
I'm so busy! I have Senior Project (which is NOT going so well, as I already said), the AP test is coming up, Fanime preparations (especially my costume), I'm thinking we should really make AX reservations soon, I have burning to do, homework in general, people to talk to, anime to watch, pets to take care of, chickens to get back, not to mention the full-time bird rescue stuff (which is probably going to start rather soon). My head kind of hurts.
I really don't want to do my homework right now. I really, really don't. I probably should, though.
