[msn]: Lichi: A nut.

And I really AM a nut.

Went for a walk with Justin and left my "midterm" on the table "for my mom to sign"...

Got back after taking Justin home.  On the way into the house I was scrambling: what would I say if she asked me where I was during all the fake absences?  Mutter something about hanging out with friends?

I kept thumbing my real mid-term, which was in my back pocket.  I opened the door.

My mom was at the computer, but the midterm was elsewhere, and not on the table.  I brushed my teeth and got ready for bed.  I told my mom I was going to bed, and the infamous, "Wait a minute" floated down the hall from the bathroom.

She came out to the kitchen.  I offered her a glass of water as though nothing were going on.  She picked up the midterm off the counter, held it up and looked at me.

"I want to know what's going on."

All the fantasies I'd had about carrying on the little charade were instantly blown apart when I started laughing - more or less immediately.  I shook my head, still laughing, and handed her the real one (93.3% as opposed to 72.2). 

...She was dubious for a long time.  I explained the whole thing... apologized several times... ...she took it amazingly well.  Then I showed her some artwork, talked about my dress, and went to bed. :)

Otherwise, today when I got home I sat on my boat (which is currently parked on a trailer in my driveway), wore my dad's straw hat (which he says suits me... I agree) and drew.  All day I'd been trying to capture Lichi, a half-elf doctor character of mine... never tried to put him on paper, and I was finding it incredibly difficult.  Thankfully I managed, and it's not too bad... hopefully once I get photoshop back on the upstairs computer I can post some of this artwork I've been talking about...

Anyway, off I trot.
