This is one of my favorite months. For a number of reasons.
March kicked off with a
Scavenger Hunt hosted by `
shell4art and the Artist Relations folks!
I spent a good chunk of time hanging out in
#CommunityProjects this weekend working on that. Took incredibly long to get through all of the questions... but I learned a lot! Many thanks to the people of #Apophysis, #dAmnLit, #NewAnimeLover (namely ~
Ashlings. Haha!), and #dAcollab for all of their help! And to the other #CommunityProjects people --- for keeping it interesting.
I won a 1-month subscription from `
shell4art on one of her mini-contests, though! Plus she offered me one of her Prints for completing the Hunt! How cool is that?
Go check out the
Project Educate: Week 1 article! It focuses on Literature. And keep an eye on `
shell4art's other news articles and journal entries. More projects and fun to come!
Look, I made stamps. Woo! 8DI've been awake more than usual -- which is saying something. Last week was a semi-chaotic string of events leading up to a nice little piece of organized chaos known as "The International Fair."
I was the regional chairperson for the Pacific Islands (aka Polynesia), so I had the wonderful task of creating a fair booth display, making food for 800 people (lolz, and here's a little secret for ya: I'd never made any of those recipes before
So I was just as blind as the volunteers), and scrounging up people to do performance stuff.
Hah, but aside from the fact that I was flying solo for most of this, I had it easy -- because I did everything in my power to
make it easy on myself.
"Work Smarter, Not Harder."
I've managed to do the impossible, though: I think I'm sick.
Hasn't happened in... wow, I can't remember how many years. I don't get sick. Therefore, I have no idea how to *be* sick.
Are you supposed to drink tea? Eat vegetables? I don't think I own a thermometer or any sort of aspirin/medicine, so don't bother suggesting those.
Ah, it's nothing big though. An annoying cough is the worst of it. Argh, I just want to stop coughing...
How does one stop coughing??
And sleep.
I want to sleep.

AoAClub Check out #
AoAClub! They've got a Scavenger Hunt-esque project going on (just in case you missed the one mentioned earlier
). With amazing prizes!
Also, check my sidebar for other Contest links. I post things there from time to time.
I decided I should start sharing those DD Suggestions I make, since they're all awesome people/pieces. 
I've suggested the following person/piece for a Daily Deviation, to ~DailyDeviants, or both. I've included the original text of the Note I sent as well.
Unofficial Welcome Pack by `
Little-VampireThe deviation was created by `Little-Vampire in partnership with a bunch of others. It's a guide through deviantART in English, Italian, and Portuguese. Personally, I find it incredibly thoughtful of them to put something like this together. And it's fun to go through! 
So yeah. I thought it'd make a great DD.

And Chicago is cool! I was there not too long ago -- just passing through, though. I didn't get to go into the city. Had to go to Peoria of all places...
Ooh, or here! I think this is still going on: [link]

You don't need asprine unless you have a fever for which you would need a thermometer (or have someone feel your forehead: if their hand burns off, you not only have a fever, you're also contageous!)
If your cough persists and you still don't want to go to the doctor, you can try a de-congestant like Robutussi which will violently (just kidding
Things like Vitamin-C pills or Emergen-C really only work if you take them at the very first signs and before hand on a regular basis, they do nothing after the fact.
And don't drink milk.
Wow... this is kinda long... but I'm not done yet!
Um, yeah
Awesome!!
I'm going to try all of this simultaneously!
Hah, I think I have some Gatorade up in my closet somewhere. And this house is full of tea, so whoo hoo for that. I don't know about finding somewhere warm in this house... maybe I'll just sit on the heater vents and help my illness circulate around the house.
Lolz, guess chocolate's out of the question?
Man, I have no idea how to be sick...
