A day of omens and lingering death...

pacificpikachuOkay, not really. Just trying to be dramatic right now, because the day has been odd and I like being dramatic on odd days.
Woke up this morning feeling muddled. I didn't sleep well because I couldn't seem to shut my mind up about Darcia and Ricky and Eevee and toothbrushes and horseflies and absolutely nothing in particular, but I was actually a little happier once I was up and about.
My first thought when I glanced sleepily out my window was that "Hmmm. Looks overcast. I wonder if it's going to rain." Nah-uh. There's about three fires (possibly more) in my area (not directly my area, but close enough that the smoke has cluttered up the entire sky), which affected my entire day, believe it or not.
Lots of gorgeous sights today, seeing as the entire world was streaked with orange and yellow light from sun through smoke. Literally, everything. Contrast seemed muffled, and it really looked eerie and beautiful. I would be perfectly happy with the whole atmosphere if it weren't for the air quality.
First, when Cody and I were walking down to our first period classes, we noticed that the sky was mostly this dull, rolling gray, but it had a brilliant pink band across it in a diagonal stripe. Naturally, I squeaked and pointed (being the sky-obsessed girl I am), but Cody wasn't overly impressed. Pfft. Guys.
Then, as I was walking from Creative Writing first period to U.S. History second period, Rae and I looked up to notice that the sun was BRIGHT. BLAZING. RED. Naturally, I being who I am, started jabbering about the end of the world and other such nonsense, quoted Tsuki no Sho in saying "I speak now the words of Red Moon..." and the rest of that quote *several* times (despite the fact it was a red sun, not a red moon), and then howled about thirty times. My friends--and trust me, they know better than anyone how weird I am--were disturbed. This is saying a lot. I got a lot of weird-look points for all the howling I kept doing. I should start saving away all the weird-look points I've collected. Maybe I could buy something with them. Like Ryuichi. Mmmm.
It intermittantly snowed light, feathery ashes today, and breathing was difficult. Watching the ashes wafting around me did *not* help the breathing situation, my lungs were burning a little bit, and my skin felt warmer than usual. Everyone else felt the same way, but it still wasn't pleasant. Everything smelled like someone tried to roast the world over a flame. Yuck. It feels like a volcano erupted.
Lunch was...interesting. Nicole was being even more vague than usual (and she is normally pretty vague, so this is an accomplishment) and kept saying things about smothering Cody, Cody got in a wrestling match with Jessie because he didn't want her looking through his sketchbook, and everything was pretty laid-back. I kept blowing the ashes away from me, as if that would improve my breathing space.
As I was running my TA errands, I happened upon the classes of practically everyone I know. That was kind of funny, and Nicole, in her Spanish class that I ran a note into, cried out to me "Guess what I'm drawing!"
Well, based off what she normally draws in Spanish class, I made a deduction that it could only be one thing. "Shounen-ai?"
She started laughing maniacally and managed to confirm that wasn't what it was. I had to leave at that point to run more stuff, but she finally told me at lunch that she had been drawing the girl next to her naked, just to see the girl's response. Oookay, Nicole. x.x You scare me at times.
Also, when I was coming up from G-Wing (everything interesting seemed to center around G-Wing today), I glanced up to see a whole thirty-plus flock of vultures flying in lazy circles over J-Wing. It was at that point that I decided I must write in my LiveJournal today and I spent a good amount of time thinking about all the other stuff I was going to write about. Which I have, by now, forgotten. So I'm just playing it by ear at this point.
TRF-Chan, I don't know if you're ever going to read this entry, but if you do, I want you to know: I'm reading your journal right now, and loving it. I simply cannot believe you're so much younger than I am. O.o;; You write like you're...well, my age or older. Your journal is great entertainment, and is colorful and pretty.
Lily keeps coming and poking me with her nose and being bored. For those who don't know, Lily is my Border Collie. Princess, my cat, is meowing for food, and my mom is insisting that I go check on the chickens, even though they're all asleep by now. I'll take a break from writing this for a second to go do that. Pets always come before LiveJournal. In fact, pets come before most everything. ^_^
... *Is petting Chester the burro and the baby horse, spraying off the chicken's water thing, talking to Rascal, and thinking about what to write about next.*
Mom had a gum surgery today, so she's kind of wiped out. She found a horse she's going to buy tomorrow, though, so that's really exciting. At this point, I don't even know his name, but I know that he's a gray, 16-hand, 4-year-old Thoroughbred, and mom says he's really beautiful. We're also getting an Appaloosa for free out of the deal, but we don't have the money to afford two horses, so we're donating the Appy to a horse charity so they can sell him and save more horses with that money. He sounds like a nice horse, too, though.
...You know, I really do need to make this Journal more colorful. *Whine* But I'm sooo lazy. I'll do it later... [/usual excuse]
I wish I had something interesting to talk about in the anime world, but absolutely nothing is going on right now in my little anime world. (Which is pretty sad, seeing as anime takes up a good majority percentage of my life.) Well, I'm coloring a picture of Ryuichi and taking absolutely forever on it (hooray, I finished his hair! And that's it!), but that's about the extent of the excitingness. -_-;; I'm still really depressed about my CDs... It totally puts a damper on me buying anime, which basically puts a damper on my whole life, sad as it is. I want the whole series of RahXephon. I want Gravitation Vol. 4. I want the rest of Last Exile, Witch Hunter Robin (though I own it all subbed), and FLCL (though I've seen it all countless times). I want Samurai X: Reflection (ditto what I said about FLCL). *Whiiine* I feel all greedy and needy all the sudden.
Oh well, I'm most definitely happiest being unhealthily obsessed with anime. I doubt there's many people out there as absolutely devoted as I am. And not just in a money/buying stuff/doing anime-related stuff sort of way, either (though that's definitely part of it). It's a spiritual sort of thing, too, as ridiculous as it may sound to you people. Anime (particularly Pokémon, Wolf's Rain, and Bebop, though definitely all my other favorites, too) really affects me and gives me a reference point upon which to philosophize, and be creatively inspired.
Hmmm. *Wonders what episode of Pokémon is on on Saturday, and whether she's seen it in Japanese or not*
I'm going to go take screenshots and do my math homework. *Grumble*
