"Too bad... No bon appetite
you know my love is sweet"

Short little update. Got my riding gear purchased as of today, my riding jacket comes in on Tuesday (I hope) which is also the day I will be getting my bike... D'awww I think I got sentimental for a second there, my first vehicle (how sad is that at 22?)
It's going to be a Honda Rebel 250cc bike, its small but a start. The bike is supposed to keep its trade in value, so hopefully I'll be able to sell it when the time comes to, wait for it... Kick it up a notch, BAM!

My appeal is also finished, I need to proof read it today and then submit it to be looked over by the school.
*insert crossed fingers*

And looking at my transaction, I have done better this semester by a good .4 points or more.

Here's hoping...

Wherever life takes me

Well, things are kinda getting smoothed out with the school, and now that I look back at what's had me in a funk those few years... It just makes me say, misguided love is a dangerous thing and takes way too long to even try to fix;

"Sing it up, my sister, in this world which everyone is lonely, everything will be fine someday, some other day"

Can't really complain too much as I have enough back up plans at this point I can get on with life and just get a job to pay bills and rent and try again later in a year.
Aside from all the suspension, my birthday is in a week and I have to say I'm more eager than I've ever been about it, but hey when you keep getting teased with "I've got something planned for you and I'm not telling" get back to me and just try and tell me you don't get a little giddy in curiosity.
I'd say I don't have a lot that I want but I'd be lying. Some new clothes would be nice, I'm cycling through my old pairs and am doing the usual "This is me now, this is laundry day clothes... oooh this is pretty" and filtering through my things, just realizing how much I've changed, yet not at the same time... Whatever, things feel more 'comfortable' lately so where am I to argue?

bah, I'll just get down to it because I wanted to be a selfish little bitch:
B-Day fun stuff:

New Clothes (Specifically Women's Jeans)
CDs (Been hankering for some Beat Crusaders) but I always try new things, and baby, if you're itching to be bitchin' old cds away, why not give them a new home.
Indie bands are also made of love (sometimes)
New Scissors (for cutting fabrics)
Close company of friends (I believe that's a checked one already)

On the - Holy shit never happening list:
Flash for a Canon S5 1S Powershot (This camera is made of sweet sweet love)
Diffuser
Telephoto Lense
Decent Zoom

All packed and ready to head home. G'nite!

Soooo

In short, the Courses went well, enough so that I'm shakin' my rear in my own room to Dancing Queen... Yes I know how that sounds but, it's how it is.

Weekend was certainly filled with heavy stresses, my stomach was very tight the whole time I was at the cycle lessons. Other people got cut from the class because their lack of ability to ride a bike, and I still had issues with easing off the clutch too early (which for the poor bike, would lead to a stall) but the bike I used was a trooper and withstood the engine abuse. Oh #2, I know your lifespan is shortening and your time is coming, but let it be known we were a unit together for 3 days, and we passed that course.

So after the initial spastic burst of energy after passing the course, which lead to a SEVERE boost in confidence, I hit the lull. I was overtaken by severe feeling of exhaust and simply passed out as soon as I got back. 6 hours of sun, anxiety and tight maneuvering then simply falling over after all was said and done. I've got the certificate, now I need to get the drivers license from the DMV, check insurance policies and get all the required things, tags, license plate and all those fun things. So I should have transport within the next 2 weeks, hopefully. I think of the class like an early birthday gift, something I wanted, the rest is a need. I need the transport, tired of relying on others so it's a big relief to know I went through and didn't give up when I was anxious and afraid.

It's elementary, but some reason it's new to me. Getting things done, getting second chances and not letting yourself, or others down... Something relaxing about that and I want to keep with it and on top of things. Only this week will tell.

I'll be in NoVA this weekend, because I couldn't be there this one to enjoy the Cherry Blossom Festival or... Some other events *whistles innocently* but it will be a fresh of breath air from the constant hours inside Duke hall. well have my presentations tomorrow and SFFG meeting. Should be getting to bed.

Well, it's been an interesting week. I've kept on task, gotten an assortment of projects finished and started (well before they are due, 2 weeks in fact)

I also, for the first time in years, enjoyed myself in the movie theaters. Went to see Cloverfield today, and it was right up my alley. Yes I have often stared out into Harrisonburg and had illusions of dilapidation and discord and pondered "how would one respond to mass hysteria and the unexplained." It did well to explain a little bit of that to me. Needless to say the hour and twenty minutes went by, I enjoyed myself and really didn't question why. It was silly, seemed to try and make political commentary about war and terrorism... But aside from that I liked that feeling, none of the acting was memorable and the characters seemed irrelevant, but it was a story anyone could tell. There was nice usage of 'frame in frame'.

Anyways, the second thing I've enjoyed is the feeling of fatigue, the need to sleep... I think this is what accomplishment feels like (that's really sad) needless to say it's led me to have nice moments of silence of which I indulge in... reading how-to books and motorcycle manuals, odd yet pleasant.

Looking forward to the small break nextweekend, woo

Dear Livejournal,

Wow I forgot you existed for a minute there... And thus to my misfortune, found you again.

Some days you feel productive, though you get nothing done...
others less so, yet you've gotten the most work you've done in a while.

Weekend was great, tad bit sore, but the highlight was Rock Band. There's absolutely nothing like spending time with friends, a good liquor by your side as you 'play' music by bands who were probably in the same state while performing their piece.

It was good having James over for the weekend, especially being surprised with easter chocolates, as though I needed those (but they are tasty and distracting...) but being relaxed about friends felt nice... nothing forced, no awkward silences. The last few weekends have been spent fretting over silly, trivial matters it was nice to spend it carefree and happy.

week ahead calls for overhaul on the work department, I've worked on a ceramics project 3 times, all of which I had gotten 6-7 hours into the piece before it decided to poop on me and collapse in on itself. Soooo I have to start a new project and do the old one by sometime in April... Sounds good but yet I'm still all panic. Not much to say about Adv. Animation, I've done all but the skin texturing on my model and the hair... She looks particularly Norwegian, and I really need to name her.

other concerns but, now... comes short me time then bed.

Cue the music, shine the lights, we're a going a singing tonight.
Well that much isn't so true but it would be were there enough people were interested.

Update for late. I've finished 3 projects in ceramics, a statue, a tea cup and random clay
food... Really quite odd but who's to question that. But that aside these last few weeks have been interesting needless to say. My computer died last Wednesday and I've spent most my time fixing that. Katsu was this weekend and I grabbed some swank stuff:

Pop'N'Music 9
Pop'N'Music 14
Controller for said game
Bakumatsu Roman 1+2 (Last Blade One and Two)

I must say... awesome

I Am A: Chaotic Evil Human Bard (3rd Level)

Ability Scores:

Strength-10

Dexterity-13

Constitution-16

Intelligence-16

Wisdom-14

Charisma-15

Alignment:
Chaotic Evil A chaotic evil character does whatever his greed, hatred, and lust for destruction drive him to do. He is hot-tempered, vicious, arbitrarily violent, and unpredictable. If he is simply out for whatever he can get, he is ruthless and brutal. If he is committed to the spread of evil and chaos, he is even worse. Thankfully, his plans are haphazard, and any groups he joins or forms are poorly organized. Typically, chaotic evil people can be made to work together only by force, and their leader lasts only as long as he can thwart attempts to topple or assassinate him. Chaotic evil is sometimes called demonic because demons are the epitome of chaotic evil. Chaotic evil is the best alignment you can be because combines self-interest and pure freedom. However, chaotic evil can be a dangerous alignment because it represents the destruction not only of beauty and life but also of the order on which beauty and life depend.

Race:
Humans are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest have made them physically diverse as well. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like.

Class:
Bards often serve as negotiators, messengers, scouts, and spies. They love to accompany heroes (and villains) to witness heroic (or villainous) deeds firsthand, since a bard who can tell a story from personal experience earns renown among his fellows. A bard casts arcane spells without any advance preparation, much like a sorcerer. Bards also share some specialized skills with rogues, and their knowledge of item lore is nearly unmatched. A high Charisma score allows a bard to cast high-level spells.

Your Score: The Ferret

You scored 60% domestic, 36% gregarious, 60% trickster, and 17% intellect!

Domestic, Solitary, Emotional Trickster: you are the Ferret!

Curious, mischievous, high-energy. Ferret people are often playful spirits with a calculating mind. Ferret medicine teaches resourcefulness, self-reliance, and ingenuity.

This test categorized you based on four different axes of personality, which were then associated with a different animal. The four axes, as well as all possible results are explained below.

Wild/Domestic: This first axis categorizes you based on how much you are drawn to the outdoors, versus how much you are drawn to civilized situations. Domesticity has many shapes and forms, and varies from the joy of dolphins leaping next to a ship to the steadfast loyalty of a family dog.

Gregarious/Solitary: This axis measures how solitary you are. If you scored high, it means that you enjoy the company of other people, while a low score indicates that you prefer a more solitary lifestyle.

Trickster/Serious: This axis measures how well you line up with conventional trickster archetypes. People who fall into this archetype have a sense of humor and an excitable, highly chaotic streak. Scoring low doesn't mean that you don't have a sense of humor; it just means that you probably don't think dynamite is very funny.

Intellectual/Emotional: This last axis determines whether you are more emotional -- acting based on feelings and instinct, or rational and intelectual -- acting more on thought than on your gut feelings.

Wild	Gregarious	Trickster	Intellectual	The Hyena
Wild	Gregarious	Trickster	Emotional	The Otter
Wild	Gregarious	Serious	Intellectual	The Antelope

There is absolutely nothing like selling a bunch of crap you'll never use again and get money for stuff that you want to try out...

Sold stuff at gamestop, one game alone got me $30 (Old PS2 game) But hey
- Apparently there's going to be a LAN party tomorrow, so hell if I know what's going on.

Picked up a copy of:

Mass Effect
Tabula Rasa

Both games I'm very excited to see what's new and innovative about systems I've played before. Mass Effect, I'm already in love with (I heart Seth Green).
But on that note, there's nothing like hearing people getting involved and interested about the things that they love the most, and it's always even better when you're equally heated about them as well (Tonight went a lot better than all week has) Stuff is due, but I'm fine until the next few days, I've got a little bit in column A, little bit in column B... But it's alright.

Remember folks, another 2 weeks and then we'll have blasted our way through this semester, fight on, fight strong and don't lose sight of YOURSELF.

Subject:	Christmas List (Bringing it back yo)
Time:	2:10 am.

i do one of these every year, and who knows ... maybe i won't delete the entry after two days this year

- Make a post (public, friendslocked, filtered...whatever you're comfortable with) to your LJ. The post should contain your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related ("I'd love a Snape/Hermione icon that's just for me") to medium ("I wish for _____ on DVD") to really big ("All I want for Christmas is a new car/computer/house/TV.") The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.

- If you wish for real life things (not fics or icons), make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where Santa (or one of his elves) could get in touch with you.

- Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your LJ, or link to this post so that the holiday joy will spread.

Step Two
- Surf around your friendslist (or friendsfriends, or just random journals) to see who has posted their list. And now here's the important part:

- If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes someone's trash is another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use--or even know where you could get someone's dream purebred Basset Hound for free--do it.

You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf--to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not--it's your call.

There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Just...wish, and it might come true. Give, and you might receive. And you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.

Step Three
Post your wishlist to your livejournal/blog! you never know, someone may be able to grant you a holiday wish!

Holiday party on the 8th, place TBA (Probably my place)
Christmas list, coming soon.
