Yeah... the Mormons had their general conference Saturday and Sunday, so barely anyone was around. So I had plenty of time to get all my homework done (Printmaking, 2D Design, and Spanish, and I actually got more Spanish homework done than I really needed to... turns out I did an extra worksheet that won't be due until we get through Chapter 15. Whoops!) I also got a bunch of drawings scanned in, thanks to some help from Ruth who let me use her scanner. We also ended up talking for pretty much 2 hours straight... which is something that really needed to happen. I've seriously missed actually having time to sit down and talk to her for a long time, rather than just 15-20 minutes or so during lunch or dinner occasionally, and I think this was probably the first or second time it's happened this year so far. Still, ended up being the best Sunday I've had in a very long time, scanning stuff in and talking (sometimes to the point of being distracted from the scanning part XD) and goofing off and so on. She even randomly read one of my stories that I had sort-of started working on last year, which came up when I was talking about one of the pictures I had drawn recently (which had the main character of that story in it, plus other stuff)... I didn't even really ask if she wanted to read it, she just plopped herself down in the seat in front of my laptop after I had opened it and read through the whole thing pretty much as soon as we were done scanning things in. She actually seemed to like it and told me I should continue working on it, which was good to hear since I really hadn't touched it since December 2011 and wasn't sure if I should keep at it or not. I mean, I want to write something set in the First Nherbi eventually, and this has been pretty much the only idea I've had for that sort of thing in a while... so why not? Maybe I'll actually finish the first chapter now. XD
I've also bumped into a few more new people recently, some of which I managed to talk to for a while. It's still so weird to me that I can just walk up to random strangers and start talking to them now, but it keeps happening every other day or so it seems. I've also drawn a lot of Papoogs lately, for some odd reason. They can be ridiculously cute when drawn the right way, as I've found out recently.
Still haven't managed to ask any girls on a date yet. It seems like most people I've been thinking of asking are going to be in the concert this Friday, and so of course can't be asked to go to it with me (apparently I know a lot of girls who sing or play some sort of instrument)... either that or they're someone I'm not sure I should ask on another date yet or not. I guess I could ask someone to go to the homecoming dance with me, but... I still feel weird about asking a girl to a dance, for some reason. I'm not sure why, since I can actually sort of dance now (as long as it's not the "random dancing" people do to most fast songs) and maybe even teach the girl to do some of the ballroom-type dancing we've been learning in these dance club meetings... but yet I still feel like I'd end up dragging things down for whichever girl I ask, just because I still kind of feel like I "can't dance" for some reason. I'm not sure why... especially since I'm getting so much better at actually dancing (learned even more steps/etc. for country swing tonight at the dance club meeting; those super-complicated-looking dips that I thought I'd never be able to do? I can do several different kinds of those without always screwing up now. Pretty amazing.)
