Finding innuendo in childhood movies is always funny and discomforting. 

I think I changed my major.

Finally bored of the internet, I retreat back to 4chan after a three month long hiatus. There, I check out /co/ until I find a thread concerning the hottest character voices in cartoons. A poster mentioned Sally Acorn from the original Sonic the Hedgehog series. Now, it's been eons since I ever saw the show so I curiously youtube'd for a while --a long while actually since the first few pages were smitten with SonicxSally fanvids-- and recognized a few of the voices. I started a search on IMDB for the voice of Sally but stumbled when I noticed Sonic's voice actor was none other than Jaleel White. Jaleel White. Steve Urkel from Family Matters. WTF. Apparently, he voiced for Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Sonic Underground. Also, I recognized Charles Adler's voice pretty much instantaneously. Christine Cavanaugh (most notably Chuckie from Rugrats and Dexter from Dexter's Lab) plays Bunnie Rabbot. Sally's voiced by Kath Soucie. She's pretty much got every 90s cartoon worth mentioning under her belt, inc. Mighty Ducks, Gargoyles, Darkwing Duck, Biker Mice from Mars, Animaniacs, Tiny Toons Adventures, Captain Planet, and Swat Kats: The Radical Squadron.

Since then, I've been watching old episodes of StH wondering why Sonic is drawn so much worse than all the other characters. I'm thinking he's just too fast for the animators to draw. Or something like that.

UPDATE: I don't remember The Spectacular SpiderMan series and I'm glad. wtf is this mess? It's hideous, they used way too many "hey, tiger"s, and Peter, MJ, Harry, Liz, Gwen, and Flash all suck. Arghablargh.

Phew.

So I finally kicked myself out of my school slump and started on my homework. And yes, that includes writing the three 300-word essays I had for art humanities... one semester ago. Also, I got most of my last 2D project done. I was  to design a book cover with multiple media. This is a pretty early start for me (it's due Monday) seeing as I'm usually scrambling to get assignments done two hours before class. All of our projects thus far has been centered on realism but JB (my hot art teacher) allowed us to do whatever. Which was awesome since I can't draw for beans. I went the comic book route and came up with Capt. Bing!. Here's the progress thus far. I just have to add my lettering and I think I'll be done.

Meh, that's enough of that.

Went down to the Silver Sands Outlets today with Mike to check out furniture/appliances/Disney merch with Mike today. Turns out, the Disney Outlet was selling everything for 75% off since their lease had been upped and Disney didn't want to pay. My filipino blood made me succumb to the crazy deals; we ended up with a little over $300 worth of trading pins ($210 of it being Mike's). All I can say is I better f-ing go to Disney World this year and do some serious bartering. Afterwards, we checked out the many home furnishing stores Silver Sands had to offer.* We happened upon Viking, a neat-o kitchen store with stuff way out of my price range and I quickly got discouraged from buying anything at the mall. We left soon after and traveled over to the Niceville K-Mart (on my request) and I scored a ton of house-/kitchen-wares on the cheap. I think I have all my necessities. The bill came to ~$130 and I had it put on layaway. Not for the lack of funds but for the lack of trunk space. I totally was not expecting to buy so many things but the deals were just too insane. I managed to find this awesome knife set that has a built in timer in the wooden block and also comes with a bunch of cooking utensils. It was a 25 piece for a mere $15. I am very pleased. I also got a sweet wet vac Dust Buster for $20. So actually, the only thing I have left to purchase for my new abode will be a microwave but I'm thinking I'll find one at Goodwill if WalMart doesn't have anything below $30.

Before the trip to the mall, I stopped by the bank to deposit my paycheck and to send $300 Jenn's way for my apartment deposit. While I was inside, Mike managed to lock us out of the Coconut Telegraph, forcing me to call Mom for the spare key. I thought for sure she'd be upset about having to drive to the Destin Eglin Credit Union but she was surprisingly nice and offered me $25 for lunch. My mom is so weird.

Well, Okaloosa (as well as a bunch of other local counties) has just been issued a tornado watch till tomorrow night. Mom isn't home yet and I wonder if she's staying at work till it all blows over. Hm. =\

*extreme sarcasm

OOOOH SNAP.

Just got back from WalMart for some packing tape and as I was leaving the store I see some guy lying face down in front of the entrance. And vomit? OH MAN, SOMETHING WENT DOWN. So I step out into the pavement and there's three policemen huddled around him and his hands are handcuffed behind his back. I find one of the WalMart employees I used to work with (never knew his name though) and asked what went down. Apparently, this joker was shoplifting --drunk. And when the cops tried to apprehend him he resisted so the cops had to rough him up a little. IT WAS SO COOL. There were like, 5 squad cars and an ambulance and fire truck and everything.

I love living in a small town. <3

PS: I also found a new love. Despite my resistance to pistachios in my early years, I tried one yesterday out of desperate hunger (Frankie was keeping them in the sump room) and discovered that they were quite tasty. Like a sunflower seed/almond combination. I love them so much in fact that I broke three nails. :(

PPS: I just got asked out. To see Switchfoot. At the Swamp. With Adam Goll. He types like a 3rd grader.

Chris just stopped by (I'm back at Mike's again) for some quick formalities before his departure to Hawaii. That lucky asshole. I must admit that I feel a little cheated out of my Spring Break. Chris got to hang out with underage, bikini-clad girls, Mike's on vacation at the happiest place on Earth, and I'm stuck in an empty house with no food. Hanging out at Mike's without the usual nine other people here make for a really boring house. I watched a handful of movies on Comedy Central, did some tidying, rummaged around for forms of sustenance, danced around, and took some showers. Meh, guess I'll piddle with Brawl. 

Whew.

I've been cleaning my room for the past two hours now, trying to sort through the trash and memories. I came across seven old diaries, the sheet music for R. Kelley's I Believe I Can Fly, my old babysitting flyer, and 3-year-old Fun Dip. This is such a surreal feeling. I'm really growing up. In a few months I'll be leaving home and be out on my own.

Other interesting finds: ~15 pounds of Pokemon cards, my autographed picture of Emilio Estevez, too many Girl Scout badges, my long-since-played Game Boy Color, and my journal with an entry of me confessing my love for Lance Bass. Oh if I knew then...

Stuff you might've missed.

Mike and fam. left for Disney World today. I found out I was to house sit today. So far, it's pretty much been just me picking various things off the floor, eating Easy Mac, and traipsing through the house naked. No other news to report on.

Yesterday was nice. I got to spend a day out with Janae for dinner, a movie, and ice cream. Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert in 3D was awesome. The fact that I knew more songs than Janae was a little... revealing but whatev's. We pretty much had the theater to ourselves which was fine by me. It just made for more dancing room.

Also, I finally broke a hundred pounds sometime this week. It's been confirmed that I am currently sitting at 100.6 which is pretty monumental seeing as I've plateaued at 96 for the longest time. Pretty soon I'll be giving blood and getting drained like everyone else.

In equally pivotal news, HOOHA, I BEAT PHOENIX WRIGHT: JUSTICE FOR ALL.

This is mot excellent especially since I have Trials and Tribulations sitting here just waiting to be solved by the best defense attorney. Ever.

Well, maybe not today. The fact that I have nine chapters of government due tomorrow by 9 or so is a pretty big buzzkill.  But knowing me, I've been putting it off all morning despite waking up at 6am for absolutely no reason at all. Instead, I've been torrenting all the Hannah Montana cd's. Yes, I am thirteen.
