[Pnelma Tirian]'s diary
I got accepted into Otis. :D
Now, how to pay that 40,000 a year.....>.<;;
I got a piece of metal rammed through my right eyebrow!
THIS IS AWESOME
I feel like utter shit. I don't know where I stand with God, I don't know what to do about my own sexuality, and I sure as hell don't know how to explain this mess to the friends who have questions I want so badly to answer. Christians are covered by the Grace of God by the inherent fact that they are Christians, but what is the margin of error allowed? When do we stop being Christians? When do we lose track of Him and when are we consumed by our own doctrine instead? How many of the sins that I commit everyday through action and through inaction are excusable? How many of them just reinforce the distance between me and God?
Every way I think about it I feel like an idiot. I want to give up.
If I speak in the tongue of angels and have not love I am only a resounding symbal. If I have the gift of knowledge and if my faith moves mountains I, but have not love, I am nothing. Though I know the One who holds the stars in the heavens in the palm of His hand, and if I give all that I own to the poor and the helpless, I still am nothing without love.
All of my friends got their college acceptance letters over the weekend.
I got a letter from Otis saying I hadn't submitted everything that I need to have to be considered for enrollment(an essay and the final transcripts). Which is such fucking bullshit.
But at least Otis had the courtesy to use paper. SCAD emails me saying that I didn't submit anything, even though I mailed every piece of information that was of any value.
not a yes
not a no
LET'S DRAG THE FUCKING APPLICATION PROCESS OUT TILL JUNE, SHALL WE?
This means any opportunity I had for any in-house scholarships for either school is gone.
Why am I not posting?
Finals week
Academic Decathlon Competition Saturday.
Need I say more?

1. Three similarities between Piero della Francesca’s Resurrection and Rogier van der Weyden’s Deposition are the attention to the dynamics of a prone body, such as Christ’s body in Deposition and the slumbering soldiers in Resurrection, the detailed cloth work and modern fashion applied to a biblical story, and the varying and sometimes imperfect facial features on the subjects portrayed.
2. Two differences between Piero della Francesca’s Resurrection and Rogier van der Weyden’s Deposition are the Christ figure in Deposition is much slimmer and appears much weaker, whereas the Christ figure in Resurrection is defined by his musculature, and Resurrection features a rudimentary background of trees and hills, whereas Deposition has a flat, gold background.
3. The essential difference between the art of the west and eastern art such as Buddhist is…
4. Notes on 15th Century Worldwide Developments:
Boats, trade, banking, Protestantism, all sorts of fun.
5. Renaissance thinkers and artists of the 15th Century studied the classical cultures of Greece and Rome because it was an excellent base resource to start from. Humanists sought to learn the skills of the former masters and improve on them from there.
6. The historical events and developments that lead to Florence becoming “the new Athens on the Amo” are the Renaissance, the overtaking of the Medici family into a position of wealth and power, and the Protestant reformation, pushing religious artists into Italy.
7. The characteristic
8. Concept of Italian renaissance art theory outline
Italian renaissance art theory is meant to portray life in the most detailed, most beautiful way.
9. Changing patterns of patronage in Europe notes:
Because of the Protestant reformation, less and less of Northern art is focused on religious themes as a direct result of the cessation of church patronage. Everywhere, wealth was on the rise, and more and more of the rich class had money to spare to commission artists.
10. 15th Century Artists in Europe notes
Artists were part of the upper class, and depended entirely on the rich for their livelihood.
I want to get at least one industrial piercing, four earlobe, two on each side, an eyebrow ring, and two surface, right below my collarbone on each shoulder.
I've wanted an eyebrow ring since I was 12; I really want at least one pair of earlobe piercings, so those are for sure.
I'm going to hold off on getting a tattoo for a couple of years until I know absolutely for sure what I want.
I'm also going to for sure take a road trip up to the Sequoia Redwood Forest for my 18th with my dad and my brother.
We have harnessed the power of lightning.
We have tamed it, and use it to satisfy even the smallest, most insignificant compulsions.
We have harnessed the power of fire.
We use that extreme heat to acquire power over life and death, and we place this power in metal rods, forged of steel and iron.
We have harnessed the blood of the ancients.
The flesh and blood of dragons courses through the veins of our nations, and is highly coveted and always needed. We wage wars and act unreasonably to gain and defend the wounds in the earth from which we extract this blood.
We live in a science fiction and fantasy world.
Damnit, I've been tagged!
Rules: Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 16 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 16 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it’s because I want to know more about you!
1) The left side of my lower lip droops slightly. It's just bigger than the other side, I guess.
2) I enjoy my lava lamp immensely.
3) I recently played a bit part in my dad's movie. Hopefully it is funny, because I was way too nervous to tell what the hell I was doing.
4) I play the cello, bass guitar, and I own a hip-height celtic harp. I don't play the harp because it's detuned and missing a string and I don't have any music for it.
5) I can barely read music anymore.
6) I have eight hours to live. After that I have another eight hours, and possibly another eight after that. We'll see how that goes.
7) I have a 2.2 GPA. I am one lazy-ass student.
8) I am a cold and embittered lesbian who will probably either join a cult or a nunnery. (Not a convent. A nunnery.)
9) A lot of people really like me, but I don't have many friends.
10) My family doesn't bring in a lot of money and I live in an apartment without AC or central heating, and I share a room with my mom, but my house is jam packed with cool stuff.
11) I could be a writer or an artist or a musician or a journalist or a airplane pilot. I can be a brilliant combination of these things, if I want to.
12) English is unbearably easy for me. Math and Science kick my ass and take my lunch money on a regular basis.
13) I don't actually have lunch money, my mom packs me lunch everyday.
14) If you haven't figured it out by now, I'm actually quite spoilt.
15) I look about forty pounds lighter than I actually am.
16) I often have the rediculously powerful urge to start smoking, even though I know what an insanely bad idea that is.
I TAG
NO ONE
I could walk up to any friend I know at my school, no matter how unfamiliar, and start talking, and no matter what shit I'm in, they would hear me out and give me advice and be there for me till the end.
I have two friends who will eat lunch with me everyday.
...This is a really backwards situation.
