Duct Tape and Wickedness!

elfie_chanHah, got your attention with THAT subject line, didn't I? *G* Seriously, though, today I wrapped my fiancee' in duct tape. It was much fun. He liked it, and I liked it. And then I cut it off him, and now...we have a PATTERN FOR A DOUBLET! Wheee! BTW, we had a T-shirt on him, under the duct tape. If you try this pattern stuff at home, PLEASE remember the T-shirt. I would imagine that duct tape would hurt if you pulled it off of bare skin. o.O;;
Yes, I know those naughty, kinky things you people were thinking. Go and wash out your brain with soap, right now! ^_~
In other news, I wrote a story last week for my Short Story class. It wasn't in my usual style (it didn't have a happy ending), but I enjoyed writing it. As you may have read (see previous entries), I've been feeling rather angsty lately. Writing this story provided a great catharsis.
Well, I got the story back for revisions...and my teacher informed me, in a complimentary way, that the story was "wicked" and I scared him a bit because he'd never seen that side of me before. ^_^v Well, I've never had any of my stories called "wicked" before, and it was honestly refreshing. It was nice to know that I could successfully write something that wasn't all hearts and flowers and rainbows and smiling people holding hands at the end. The point of the story was that appearances can be deceiving, and not everyone who looks sweet and trustworthy is. In any case, I broke out of the box! Yaaay! And my teacher wants me to try to get the story published! Double-yaaaaay!
I've always wanted to be a writer, as well as an artist...I think I'm more likely to make it as a writer, quite frankly. I love to draw, and I like my art, but writing's what really gets me going. Drawing's a close second, but I only really draw when I'm in the mood. If I don't get to write SOMETHING at least once a day, even if it's only the LJ, I get CRANKY.
Speaking of being cranky, I've learned that I perhaps need to be a wee bit less cranky when someone suggests that I do something a little differently from the way I had planned. I was a bit grouchy with someone tonight who was giving me good advice. I really hope that I didn't hurt that person's feelings...he/she isn't online tonight. (Aren't I nice and vague?) I tend to be grouchy, period, when someone offers advice.
In other news, I turn 24 tomorrow. Woot! Going out to celebrate with Alex. DOUBLE-WOOT!
And now, the expected quiz:
Take the What High School
Stereotype Are You? quiz, by Angel.
Actually, I'll beat 'em myself, thanks. *G* Kidding. I don't hit people. And the "popular" kids didn't laugh at me in high school. They just watched me go by in my medieval clothes...unable to figure me out. Nobody could figure me out in high school, not even me. Go fig, if you can. ^_^
Well, I should scoot...it's past midnight, and sleepytime dreams are beckoning...
Thank you, and good night.
