The obligatory journal. Thought I'd update to tell everyone that and I will be at Reactor '09, in case anyone else is going. If you mention to me that you are, I'll make sure to look for you and wave. Or hide. Depending on if you are one of those kind internet people who terrify me.

When we get back, an official report.

News of interest:

-In artistic ventures, ~Feigning-Ignorance and I are doing multiple shoots for her photography class. Shoots which, of course, require us to go to the part of town with the best vintage stores and the best ice-cream on weekends.

-People are generally nice and I should stop worrying about why they act as if they're not.

-Ugggh. College stuff. I'm not doing as much personal art as I'd like; my zombie comic has gotten so behind that, unless I just start the whole thing over, it won't be representative of where I am artistically at all (read as: it will suck and it will show). However, I am applying to the school of my dreams. Literally, my dreams (this is not always a good thing. Last night I dreamed that Richard Dawkins was a pimp and he kept making me get away from my school work to go and be a prostitute for him)(plus, my dreams more or less unfailingly contain some sort of horrific violence). But my dreams about this school were good. Barring the cat-tadpoles that had to be eliminated from the grounds for the balance of nature there to be restored, good.

All of my classes this year, save one, will probably require quite a lot of my attention. I may not post very often because, as sort of touched on above, I don't have time for a lot of personal projects (imagining all the make-up work I will have to do to miss one day for a convention makes me cringe). My outlets right now include doodling 40s archetypes in my sketchbook and not finishing them, getting angry for no reason, trolling my Fashinz Merchandizing is Srs Bzness U Gaiz class (funny stories from this; I'll tell you if you want me to)(nothing makes me RAGE more than '80s fashion,' which in and of itself should be considered an oxymoron), building umbrella robots, and skulking around pretending to be Nikola Tesla. Good times.

But! See you (or not) at Reactor! I'll report back (perhaps in comic form, because that is how I roll)!

And before I forget, tagged me in this neat little survey and it would be a shame not to fill it out.

1.Who is your celebrity crush?
Dr. Steel.

2.What are you most excited for?
Reactor! Tomorrow! College!

3.What was the last thing you bought?
Glossy photo paper, a 'Miskatonic University' tank-top (I plan to study Medieval Metaphysics or Non-Euclidean Geometry or the Book of Eibon there, or take a semester off to go visit Innsmouth) (duhurr).

4.What was the cutest thing you've seen today?
[link]
It's a plushie of the common cold! :3 It's giant! My friend sells these at her work and I'm sorely tempted to procure one! I'm not sure whether to flee or to hug!

5.Does the weather affect your mood?
I like some weather (fog, snow, rain, and crisp, clear days) more than other weather (limp mugginess), if that counts.

6. tell me 5 things you can't live without:

Aside from the obvious needs for living (food, air, shelter, whatever):

1. The Invention of Everything Else, Neutral Milk Hotel, Amanda Palmer, Ethiopian food, steampunk (all come together because they keep me going equally)
2. My family and friends and kitty
3. Good reading material, history/psychLOLogy/steampunk
4. Joy and zest
5. Internet internet internet

7.Say something to the person who tagged you:
O HALO THAR
