Whatevers on Sirius.

Those of you here for the oodles of nonsense I randomly produce on a daily basis, shame shame. I'm actually excited about my new college term (namely Life Drawing for Animation) starting in about 30 minutes. Of course I'll regret it, especially once the massive pile of work starts pouring in. Partner that with the constant phone calls from my adviser who just loves to tell me that I'm slipping in terms of grades and you've got another art-less 9 weeks.

His tyranny began around two weeks ago. The beginning phone calls, stating that I'm so close to a B average that it's nearly guaranteed. I happened, in my foolishness, to let it slip that I wanted a perfect 4.0 through college so that I would be given job offers, since I'm horrible at interviews (well that and I wanted to impress my late grandfather). Of course that isn't my only reasoning for my high standards, the fact is that I'm mostly a lazy nerd who can afford to spend the time needed to achieve that average. At least for now, since starting next week I'm an advertisement designer. The most boring job on the face of the earth, but my new super charged gas guzzler needs something to keep it going.

I recently bought a 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan. I know, it's a van, and I personally don't care for vans (or anything larger than an SUV for that matter) but I was in a time of desperation, since my old 1997 GMC Jimmy had officially outrun it's usefulness. I've been having car troubles for the last 6 months or so, having shelled out enough money to probably buy a few mopeds. Unfortunately I do share a car with my mother, since college students can't afford monthly car payments, so the vehicle needed to be a certain height. We're both relatively tall ladies after all. I'm nearly 6'0 (and pear shaped, with dark brown hair and dark blue eyes, hinty hint).

I've gotten quite a few random job offers as of late. The most common are advertisement themed, since.. well several new businesses in this town need serious help. I'm sorry, but a poster board with reflective cellophane letters does not a good advertisement make. I've also gotten a children's book offer, making scenery and characters. Since I lack all coordination required to wield a paintbrush (a specific requirement), I turned down this offer.

As for artings, none of interest. I've actually been more of a 'night owl' for lack of a better term. There have been very few nights recently that I've been home before midnight. Now get your mind out of the gutters, you perverts. I've been hanging out with my best friend, and trying to pick up a new guy on the way. To no avail, I'm sad to admit. Due to my supreme lack of social skills, I prefer to be introduced to my future possible lovers. I'm also fairly picky in the fact that I don't want a drunkard, or a smoker. Given the current demographic, I either need to be very open, or remain totally single.

I also have anime news for once. Since college, I rarely have a chance to watch it. I've had a subscription to Anime Network for close to a year that I never used, so it was time to finally try it out. I started watching Code Geass, E's Otherwise, Diamond Daydreams (in which Karin's story had me bawling like a crazy fangirl), and I also watched Tsubasa Chronicle's first season. In one day. I enjoyed it that much but I kept wondering when something was going to happen. Like, something different, I guess. Hard to explain but it was an awesome series.


Also, a small hint ladies. If he states he was in a car accident, and you happen to know his location (given that it's an online relationship), look it up. Car accidents do hit the news, and news does get published online. Be especially weary if he claims he was in -multiple- accidents, and then suffered amnesia as an excuse for why he hasn't called.

Dead giveaway, right?
