School has Started
and with it come the dull, dull routine of classwork, and subjects you really don't care about. In this event, i have sunk even further into my horrible obsession with BBC's Sherlock. It is eating away at my very brain. AND THE NEXT SEASON WILL NOT BE DONE UNTILL NEXT YEAR. death will be soon >_<
Anywho, In other news, I have made a move that i have been juggling about for a year or so. I am very aware that i need a bachelors degree to have any sort of credibility in the job word out there, so despite my great frustration and contempt, i have applied to University. I have not told anyone, in the even that i do not get in, i don't want to have to risk the same disappointment that i faced when attempting to go to the Academy. (that was a dark period in the life). Anywho, the fee is paid, i have plenty of transferable units, my transfer sheets are in the mail and the fafsa is more then halfway done. Here is to change, Cheers.

LOTR Marathon 2012
"I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something."
"What are we holding onto, Sam?"
"That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo... and it's worth fighting for."

101
Wow, finally breached 100!
anywho, i figure that i might as well put this up, to remember me by, haha.
I actually did this in spring of last year on my FB and some of the facts are slightly outdated, (for instance, the LOTR count is now up to 18, Steve is soon moving out and my poor beautiful black cat Rafiel has since passed) but still, everything else is pretty spot on.

Haha, here is stuff you probably already know about me
1. I am a Christian, and am trying to live in a way that would testify just that
2. my house is always crazy. it is kind of impossible for it not to be with all the people living here! there is my mom, me, candace (on occasion), Rachel, Everett, Noah, Jessie, and Steve. plus the addition of the family pets including three cats, a demon possessed bird, and Tonka, the genie pug... yes. he is magic.
3. My greatest passions in life is creativity. not just art, but anything that allows self expression; books, film, music, art, comedy, dancing, you name it. i think that creativity is one of the greatest gifts we have been given.
4. one of my greatest aspirations in life is to own a professional animation studio. words could not describe the joy i would feel it that came to pass.
5. my favorite bands in the world are Muse and Queen. i wish Freddy Mercury was alive and that he was my friend. i would play cards with him and Matt Bellamy every tuesday.
6. my favorite animals are Rams (or goats) and Giant Squids. i like horses, but i am pretty sure that every girl likes horses, therefore rams and squids take number one!!!!
7. i have been a long time nerd and proud of it. my list of bragging right is as follows... i have read Lord of the ring 17 times now, at age eight i had a college reading level, when i was bored i would read the dictionary, i have taken apart my computer and put it back together, i know the definition of steampunk and cannon, and until recently, i could probably name more classical composers then contemporary bands. there is more, but i wont bore you.
8. cockroaches scare the crap outta me.
9. a thought that i have always entertained is the idea of me opening a little coffee joint. i would call it the cranberry cafe and there would giant overstuffed chairs, classy big-band jazz in the background, a bookshelf filled with old hardcover classics that no one remembers, a creaky wood and red brick stage for mini-shows, photography and art by my friends, family and customers framed on the walls, and my own neon. i always thought that would be cool.
10. i love coffee, diet coke, cranberry juice and ice water.
11. i like to think that i am a good listener. i don't know how true you guys would say that is, but i genuinely enjoy listening to people talk, even if it is nonsense
12. i know that it sounds heartless and horrible, but sometimes i secretly hope for a natural disaster to strike where we live. not to satisfy some sick pleasure, but because i think that too many people take for granted the greatness and resources that we have. a good wake up call to humble the minds of the masses is in my opinion, a good thing.
13. when i am with certain people, i speak in certain accents. its kind of awesome.
14. i love getting things in the mail, even if i know what it is. when i order something off of amazon, i freak when it arrives! when i get a note, i make sure that the whole house knows!
15. despite popular belief, Zombies DO scare the crap outta me. i think that is why i like the idea of them so much; because i am genuinely afraid of a mindless creature that has nothing else going through its head aside from wanting to tear my flesh from bone... they do exist.
16. the best concert i have been to was not an actual rock show, but John Williams and the L.A Philharmonic Orchestra at the Hollywood Bowl.
17. Cartoons are a way of life for me. if i am quoting something witty and clever, it is probably from a cartoon
18. i love to cook meat. and i love my steak raw.
19. throwing cats is a hobby of mine. not my beautiful loverly handsome kind black cat, but the young ones. you just pick it up and chuck it as far as you can!
20. i have several written stories. a few of them are pretty awesome. not gonna lie.
21. i have been fleshing out a graphic novel for the past two years. it is a work in process but it is still my baby. most of the characters are based off of my friends in some way, and allot of the designs are pretty funny too. the whole thing takes place in a post apocalyptic world of greatness. some day i might show it off, but for now, it shall hide in the closet.
22. i Deeply wish that fantasy and legend were true. specially hogwarts and middle earth.
23. Air guitar is a skill that i have honed to such a perfection that i am now not afraid to do it in public (not that i have ever been before)
24. i hate top 40 music. i may know all the lyrics and dance moves, but i still hate it. it is unimaginative and repetitive, totally not good quality stuff.
25. i love spending time with my wonderful friends and am always hoping for a unforgettable, unheard of adventure with them!!!

Meh, slightly Cheesy, but its all good :D
Idea.
Todays question.
"Today you lost _______"
Many things could fill that.
Sanity.
Respect for someone.
A dollar.
My appetite.
A train of thought.
All of the above.
Inspiration.
Focus.
I rather like this Q&A Journal that I got.
Hm. here is something new.
lets see how this looks once it is done then, shall we?

One Week
One week into the new year and things are seeming to go well. well enough at least :) I am quite enjoying the use of my new Q&A Journal,
and have become increasingly obsessed with BBC's Sherlock series. Its utterly Brilliant. Also, preparations for AX 2012 are going sportingly. School will start soon,but i choose not to think of that. Instead, have some Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock Holms.

Before its Over
Happy New Years Day! Wow, i always find it so weird to back at the start of things. Typically I am not so big on celebrating new years, but I am gonna be about making changes this year. Trying to get back in touch with certain people, work on personal growth, strive for things that I would usually dismiss as out of my league.... I am making no promises what so ever, and this is in no way a new years resolution, but i am going to try holding my self to a higher standard.
In other news, tomorrow me and several friends are going to see the New Years Parade, so we will be leaving at around four. Hoohah! We did float decorating this year as well, (fifth year now) so it will be fun to see our work in full.
One last thing. I will be keeping a journal for the next five years entitled the Q&A Journal. it has a question for every day, the first being "what is your mission?"... Food for thought and hopefully an item of self discovery. wow. Cheese. any who, here is to the new year!
