Also, I believe I totally forgot to even mention this when I got the letter.

I was accepted to KSU. Which, I guess, isn't really that big of a deal, but everyone else thought it was. So I'll run with it.

Now...to see if I want to rush for summer courses or just wait until fall classes. D: D: But I have to schedule my COMPASS test first. D:

Speaking of, I had a horrid nightmare that I was required to take come calculus test or something and I was flipping out and almost crying because, fuck if I know how to do calculus or even remember what I may have learned in school.

Is this fear of failure rearing its ugly head? It could be. And I don't much like it.



In news that isn't my brain being a retard.

Tiki Con Cleveland is this coming weekend. I need to call Dawn back and see when she needs us up there. My money is pretty tight now that Anthrocon is over and I'm waiting on callbacks from jobs. But, we'll see. We're gonna staff at least one day, I'm sure. But it's just a pain in the ass to get there and back (because I don't think there will be staff lodging anywhere. there isn't a 'con hotel' because this was so quickly planned.) three days, but we can probably do it for two. I'll have to give Rob a call and see if he's staffing as well. Perhaps we can car pool.

On the up side, I'll have some free Moo cards I ordered if I want to give any away. I should have gotten some with my human art on them, but it didn't even dawn on me that I'd probably get them before the weekend anyhow. :/ Lame.



I need to redesign my website. And write up a new commission page since FA's is STILL DOWN for absurd reasons and I accidentally overwrote my old one with the last layout update I did.

The only other place I have commission info is on my artblog. But I'd like something more professional looking. Also, something that has my updated commissions I offer, since traditional badges are only going to be at conventions now.

I'd also like for the Furtopia FTP to be working again. I know they moved/fixed/upgraded/whatever the servers, but I STILL can't connect and I FUCKING HATE the web FTP because it's slow as balls.



Squeeji and Elliot left this morning. The house is strangely quiet in comparison to the noise and mayhem it held the last week. I'm still tip-toeing around quietly because I think people are sleeping and such. But just TJ is snoring downstairs.

I also discovered I have a bag of Angie's markers, as well! D: So I'll have to get those back to her at some point in the future.

We all determined if we're doing AC next year, we're pre-registering and shit. D: Especially if the price of admission might be going up. There's also been talks of a Dealer's table, since it's only $75 (as of now) and that includes admission. But, as usual, I'd want to get some kind of merchandise together first. I hate relying only on commissions to float me money-wise. And, I'm not STUCK behind a Dealer's table, we can swap out and give each other breaks.

So we'll see. It's too early to plan that far ahead still.



Go to http://quotationspage.com/random.php3 and browse the random quotes until you find five that you think reflect who you are or what you believe.

When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on.
- Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882 - 1945), quoted Kansas City Star, June 5, 1977

It is hard work, but there is happiness in it.
- Takayuki Ikkaku, Arisa Hosaka and Toshihiro Kawabata, Animal Crossing: Wild World, 2005

Anyone who takes himself too seriously always runs the risk of looking ridiculous; anyone who can consistently laugh at himself does not.
- Vaclav Havel (1936 - )

Many people think that if they were only in some other place, or had some other job, they would be happy. Well, that is doubtful. So get as much happiness out of what you are doing as you can and don't put off being happy until some future date.
- Dale Carnegie

A person has three choices in life. You can swim against the tide and get exhausted, or you can tread water and let the tide sweep you away, or you can swim with the tide, and let it take you where it wants you to go.
- Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider, Northern Exposure, Northern Lights, 1993



I think I'm going to get dressed and take advantage of the beautiful morning. Walk downtown, take some pictures, return some library books and just get out of the house for a little bit.

Today was a nice, calm day.

I walked down to the library to drop some books off. Went through Packard park and got some photos. Which can be found on my flickr, since Furtopia's FTP STILL isn't up despite the fact that it should've been on the 5th. Go figure.

Stopped at the Mocha House and had myself a chai milkshake and a delicious peanut butter brownie. Read through some of the first Postsecret book. Found a secret inside of it that wigged me out a little because it's been something that's on my mind with this whole college thing. People seem to think going to college means one is growing up and moving on to a career and shit like that. I know that's not actually how it is, but there's that 'society standard' thing that lurks in the back of my brain that sometimes rears its ugly head with dumb shit. I was actually seriously considering making a secret that contained those very words. And, while it's probably not THAT strange of a thing to end up in a book that's shelved in the teen section at the library, it still jumped out at me.

Surreal was an understatement, really.

While at the Mocha House, TJ texted me to find out where I was because he was getting ready to head out. We ended up meeting at the library and I discovered that Josh runs the Downtown Warren History flickr, which I'd been following for a little while now. I pointed him to my photos of the Packard House and such. I also remembered I have that box of photos my mom got me when she was in the Mission from when Warren had the really bad flood years and years and years ago. I'll have to find them and scan them for him.

After the comic store, we ran out to the mall and grabbed some critter food. We also found an amazing Mediterranean store today by the mall. They sell fresh-baked stuff and spices and yums and oh my god fresh hummus and spicy feta salad and GRAPE LEAVES OMG.

Taste explosion in my mouf.

We bought some falafel mix so I can try making some. Plus some delicious homemade pita bread and feta and stuff. There's really nothing better than fresh made food without all the bullshit preservatives in it.
