okay, so I've been going to PNCA for the past week now and I have to say I am enjoying myself at school for the first time in a long time, let me tell you.

For one thing, going to school in POrtland is just awesome in general. Sure I have to leave my house at 6am 3 days out of the week, and it's freezing balls, but the City is gorgeous in the morning light. I ride the max into town with Rachie, and we try to catch the streetcar to school, even though it's usually faster to walk than to wait for the damn thing. That and it always smells like hobo urine.

I'm taking 18 credits this semester because obviously I am not productive enough (and I'm an idiot). Sure, nothing happens the first week, but if I drop off the face of the earth later in the spring, everyone will know why. So far I've discovered: The photoshop teacher is really awkward, the ADCS teacher is awesome, my art teacher's gay (and by that I do mean homosexual), people talk openly about their drug habits with the faculty, and my English class is full of idiots (which is semi good because I won't have to do any real work).

and there's this absolutely wonderful 3 hour gap in between my classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so usually I just wander the city or do homework (HA!) or something. But yeah, the next four years should go pretty well.

(and Louis Vuitton purses are ugly shit. I don't see why they hell anyone would pay so much for one)

on another note: it's my 19th which means absolutely nothing except that I got a serger. So this years cosplay will be even more awesome.

Soul Calibur's Talim is 4'9 and 93 lbs...


She's also flat-chested...



and has dark skin...


I know what I'm going as for next year's Kumoricon.

I'm in a particularly good mood rigt now.

So I went to that Dir en Grey concert. I was in the second row, but I was surrounded by really terrible fangirls and whores... and the opening band was unforgivably awful. But it was well worth it. I got a guitar pick from Die. He threw it into the crowd and two girls trampled me trying to catch it, but I guess they dropped it and couldn't find it. That's Karma, bitches.

I only have 3 class periods left at clark then I'm transfefrring to PNCA for Spring semester. I'm quite excited for it. Now I really feel like I'm moving forward ^.^ And if my family pulls the same crap they did last time, I just might have to work full time until I can pay for everything myself.


and I'm not sure, but I fear I may have actually failed my English class. Hopefully I'm just being a pessimist and that's not the case.

This has been a good week. yesterday I came home to find the DVD and the Dir en Grey tickets that I ordered online had both come in the mail, which was very exciting for me. I don't really have the time, money or energy for entertainment right now, but I think I deserve something nice once in a while.

And since I started working at the new toys r us building, we had job training today. Yay!(Seriously) We had a stroller model-off in the aisle. It was fierce. But it's sad that all the shelves are stocked now. I really like stocking shelves. (Seriously) I skipped breaks to stock shelves. Does that make me weird, or an over-achiever?

And Halloween is tomorrow! My absolute favorite holiday evar! It might be raining, and if it is, I call for a Nurse-walk across the mall. If it doesn't rain, hell, free candy is cool too.

So I now have a job at the new toys r us! But funny story: I was had an interview with adidas and they said they'd call me the next day if I got the job... and they didn't. Of course the day after toys r us tells me that I'm hired, adidas calls to tell me about orientation (about a week after the interview >_> ). But I am quite excited: not only is this my first real job but now I'll have an income to save up so I can go to school. (speaking of which I still hate clark)

And there are so many happy things in life right now ! It's october! I have Silent Hill Homecoming! The Tales of the abyss anime is out! There's an Alice themed corn maze! Halloween is almost here! and it's finally the time of the year that I can sit under a pile of blankets with my laptop and not get scorched. How wonderful this october is.

and siam is probably the most badass monster ever imagined. I think I know what I'm doing for Sakura-con... I hope my brother wants to go...
