It was my first time in Australia and I'm excited to be able to go back again and again to travel the country. I was also privileged enough to win second at states for that business conference and was able to travel to Anaheim, California and compete nationally. It's been an extremely exciting summer and beginning of fall.

Guardianofire came to see me here in Florida, we partied hardy and I showed him the ropes to the "Happiest place on Earth" hitting up all the major theme parks that are important enough to be paid attention to...

I'm excited to be taking an art class and therefore will be forced to submit more work at the end of the semester after my final portfolio is graded. I've been working on a lot of graphics that I need to bulk up and post, but I eed to be a lot less lazy first :/

I've been playing a lot of video games recently and am currently addicted to Brutal Legend, this game is super epic and I would suggest it to anyone who enjoys Metal...and Jack Black. The story line is pretty catchy and the art itself is gorgeous. Plus it has the most fantastic soundtrack EVER~!

Other than that, I've been slowly finishing my business degree and running around like a chicken with my head cut off to get ready for my conference in Denver on the 12th. I need to finish my squid hat before then so my ears don't freeze off lol. I'll post some pictures soon.

OMG, and I got a puppy. He's the BEST DOG EVER...with the exception of lacking some key border collie traits I couldn't love him more if I tried. His picture will be the first thing I upload. -flees-

Anyhow, I performed in a few events and surprisingly enough I've qualified for Nationals in Anaheim in June. It's exciting, it'll be my first time going to California and hopefully I'll finally be able to meet up with some wonderful people I've been planning on meeting.

The nifty part of all of this is that the school is paying all fees and they are saying that if I'd like to stay after the convention I'm able to stay as long as I'd like and they will pay for my flight at a later date. So if I want I can stay in Anaheim for a while, or if they deny my request at least it's only a one way ticket I have to buy instead of round trip. Either way, it's a win and a mini vacation all in one. I'm super excited!

The one downside to this is, because of my poor planning I'm going to be missing Metrocon this year. :/ I was super excited about it too, and I let someone down because of it. I'm going to finish my costume anyhow and hopefully I'll be at least able to take some pictures of us in our costumes even if I don't get to go to the convention. Hopefully she'll still go and take some wicked pictures for me though! I don't want to miss it in person and spirit. D:

I died on DA lately it seems. I just don't have time to get any work finished. I guess eventually I'll be unlazy and dump my graphic works, but until then I can't really get any pictures or stories done until school is out. -stabs college-

Two trips to California in a year, now that I think about it. My cousin's wedding is fast approaching! I almost forgot...

My life needs to slow down a bit haha. Happy belated 21st to myself too...need to do something for that too.

Other than that it's been a peachy week of joy and wonder and joyness. I'm freaking out about my exams, even though I know I'll probably do just fine I always over analyze things.

On a side note for anyone who loves movies as much as myself and my friends I fully recommend 'Death at a Funeral' it's FUCKING HILARIOUS! Beowulf on the other hand was such a disappointment. If Angelina Jolie hadn't been mostly naked it would have sucked to Ragnarok. Pun fully intended.

Anyhow I guess this is my happy journal...yay happy journals

He fucking BLOWS UP ON ME! He's like "I don't understand why you are always ragging on me. Why the fuck can't you go a day without bitching me out, etc." I'm not naturally a passive person by nature, but I'm silent when I'm pissed off. I sort of stare at him for a minute, turn and walk away, leaving it at that. Come around 3 am (so about 20 minutes ago) he texts me apologizing for blowing up at me. I tell him apology not accepted, he gets angry again and is like FINE THEN! So I call him to ask him if he's serious, because I'm at a blatant loss for words on the fact that he has the balls to say he's sorry to me after tonight. He forwards me to his answering machine, so I text him and I'm like 'You have the gall to apologize to me over text message and now you won't take my calls?' I call him again, expecting him to answer. He picks up the second ring and I just go off on him.
I just get it all out, which normally isn't my style either, but he listen for a bit then starts yelling at me again and how I never say anything nice to him, how I'm such a bitch because I wouldn't accept his apology. "When I apologize, which isn't often, I mean it and you just threw it back in my face. What the fuck am I supposed to do." YOU APOLOGIZED TO ME WHEN YOU'RE STILL ANGRY? WHY EVEN BOTHER? I yelled pissed off now (two people sitting in the passenger seat of my car). "Yeah, well we talk a lot I didn't want that to change, you're like the easiest person to talk to, you listen." I'm just fuming now. He has such balls. He hung on me mid sentence when I was telling him about how I get bitched at for sticking up for him and having friends over how it's not all about him. I wish some people would just grow the fuck up.
He texts me now, asking for a truce. His ego is so big, sometime it needs a bit of thrashing, but not all people can handle the truth I guess. I just wish I could break my knuckles on his face, if only just once.

I'm overly angry at how immature people are. Some people need to grow the fuck up and learn how to deal in the real world. Not everyone is going to like you and being fake will only get you into more shit later in life. Being a lemming just makes people's respect for you plummet. It makes me more angry when I try and rant at people and they tell me that said person isn't really that bad and I need to get over myself. Hmm, maybe one day I will, but I'd rather bitch about it to someone first.


On a positive note school starts back up tomorrow and I couldn't be more happy. It will take my mind off of this shitty holiday and most of my problems. Plus, I get to get away from my family, my roommates are so much better at moral support ^^.

I guess this is as good a time as any to wish all my lovelies a belated Happy New Year, since I wasn't all here for the real one :s
