Key Lime Green -- Obviously a-MAZE-ing enough to grace the surface of my bookshelf! XP

1. Was today as long for you as it was for me? Because it felt SUPER LONG! I basically spent a million years marking where I will drill holes for the dowel pins today. It pretty much sucked. Also, my professor came to me and said he was going to suggest a change for my Vellum design, but "it's probably too late" and I just looked at him with an "Uhh, yeah" look because dude, I already cut all my pieces! He should have come to me with his suggestion on WEDNESDAY before I cut everything! -_-



2. After thinking all day about the million holes I have to drill, I was like, "They must make a guide or jig or something for this!" and after googling, I found out they were called doweling jigs and it is obviously absolutely vital for my project because I have way too many holes to drill without getting one. Anyway, I got Teresa and Jeff to take me with them to Home Depot earlier and of course Home Depot only has this lame doweling jig kit thing and the jig itself doesn't look like it'll that good of a jig, but beggars can't be choosers, I guess. I'm just annoyed though because the kit was $30 and with $30, I probably could have gotten a WAY BETTER JIG online, but it wouldn't get here in time. x_x (SO ANNOYING!) Anyway, this stupid kit has some dowel pins in it and also drill bits and a few other random things, so I was like, might as well just buy a drill also since the cheapest drill is $30 and drills are always useful, right? IDK, whatever, I have one now, LOL. Also got spray paint for my bookshelf! I stood in front of the tiny green selection for a long time just staring because they didn't really have the awesome green that I wanted. =( I kind of liked the Sage one or whatever it was called, but it looked kind of dull and Teresa said so too, so I decided on Key Lime (AKA the brightest one there) because it was the closest to the color I was hoping for. =/ I'm just hoping it comes out way more vibrant than the cap color or else I'll just be super sad, lol. I got the white primer spray paint also since I'm not sure how well paint sticks onto MDF, so better safe than sorry, lol. XP If I was a smarter person, I would have gotten sandpaper as well, but yeah, did not occur to me at the time. x_x

I also want to say that my arms are super sore today, lol. In the morning I woke up all stiff and stuff and it took me a while to figure out why, lol. (Though I suppose it should have been obvious, but I was too tired to remember my intense workout yesterday. XP

Anyway, I feel tomorrow will be an AWESOME DAY, full of me sitting around studio drilling the crap out my shelving pieces! (I hope not too many people are there b/c I'm kind of lazy and want to drill inside and I don't want to annoy anyone with the mess, lol.) I will attempt to wake up early so I can make myself food to bring for an awesome day of awesomeness. I mean, who wouldn't want to be at school all day on a Saturday?! XD

• @cindypon LOL, thanks. I'm pretty sure I won't win b/c I saw some really cool-looking ones at the shop, but I hope mine looks good. XD in reply to cindypon #
• So glad there wasn't a group meeting at the beginning of class — I love feeling like I'm not late when I am. XD #
• @ch1b1dr4g0n OMG SUPER FAIL! XP in reply to ch1b1dr4g0n #

• Done labeling.. but I still have an hour to kill before I can go to the shop! x_x #
• Time to rush off to the shop — hopefully I can beat the rush, haha. XP #
• There's no way I can get the back board all the way to the shop & back. =( Maybe I can borrow someone's saw up here and just cut like that.. #
• I think it's time for a food break. I feel like this will never be finished. =/ #
• I'm laughing on the inside b/c the macarena song came up on my playlist and a few people in here kind of subconsciously started doing it. XP #
• I find it funny (in a good way) when people compliment me on my music selection, LOL. #
• Only because my music is all over the place. I'm sure there is something on my playlist for everybody, haha. #
• I've only marked half my pieces for where to drill.. I'm never gonna finish this shit. =( #
• I wish I had a drill so I could just do this crap where I want. I don't like working in the shop b/c I always feel inadequate in there! #
• It's like, everyone working in the shop always look like they know exactly what they're doing and I usually don't. =/ #
• Of course it has to be misty as I walk home. -_- #
• Wish I had a car. I need to go to Home Depot to buy a doweling jig. (Should have thought of it before.) #
• Yay, got a ride to Home Depot later, lol. Thank goodness my friend's boyfriend is here this weekend. XP #
• Home Depot run… I'll probably get some paint for my bookshelf too, lol. Color suggestions? #
• Stupid doweling jig only came in a kit — $30. UGH! Then I decided to just all out and buy a cheap $30 drill too since I was already there. #
• Also bought spray paint and primer to paint my bookshelf. #
• Stupid internet isn't working! Argh! Anyway, got 'Key Lime' green b/c that was the best option of the greens. #
• It's not the exact green color I wanted, but hopefully it turns out a little better than the cap color, lol. #
