Title unrelated...

1. We bought the $350 worth of leather (lined with something very soft) fabric, zippers, beads and other such hardware for our Organization XIII...I costumes. Square Enix, Disney, you will never know how much time money and effort I've put in to do you justice.

2. I have made a solemn vow that I will thoroughly and utterly beat Rayman 2 The Great Escape, by myself with no help from others, before I turn 20. That means every cage and every lum, even the hidden 1000th lum. Kinda hard with no time to spare though.

3. I do not want to turn 20. I don't believe I have been on this planet for 2 decades. For some reason 20 is old but 19 isn't. It's like a big fat ugly number, though it does have 'ty' at the end of it which sounds like 'tea' and I like tea. Still don't wana be 20 though.

4. Sorry I haven't been posting ANYTHING lately. Mostly because school sucks about the freaking ton of work. Every professor has it in their head that you are in their class only and so you need enough work to keep you busy for a week. Every class last week had a paper due, two of them had 2 papers due. No word of a lie one of my classes (costume design) homework (which is the same every week just different topics) is to:
read the play
do an analysis on the play
do research on everything about the play
costume critique of the play
'quick chart' the costume changes in the play
every single costume in the play must be drawn out and be time period consistent.
Make an action chart for every character in the play for every scene in the play.
do a color still for every character in every costume in every scene of the play.
create a binder of information collected plus various other things that pertain to the topic.
(I did all that for 3 plays already and only got a B+ and there's only 2 other people in that class cause everyone else was like FUCK NO!)
THEN! - there's always a history outline of a certain time period like Egyptians or 16th century Europe. You have to write what their silhouette, primary garments, jewelry and accessories, headdress, and have real pictures of each like ancient pottery or hieroglyphs.
THEN! you have to read the chapters in one book and do the lessons in the other book which is a whole hell of a lot of drawing.
THEN! there's a list of vocabulary words and definitions you have to know for a quiz each class.

Not quite a Japanese kid's class but close. Now picture that plus 4 other classes work added on to that. I was literally doing homework while I was at work, ate, walked my dog, used the bathroom, during other classes and blatantly during the same classes. I have a total of only 8 plays to read this week, but then it's only a 3 day week.

5. I've been very depressed lately due mostly to school. Without school I have very good blood pressure. Plus my 'boyfriend' never comes to see me, sometimes he calls for a minute or two on his way to work. It's like one of those stupid high school internet relationships, except without the internet or any kind of connection. I don't really have any friends so it's hard to not have anyone to talk to except my friend in Florida who calls just about every night. I feel really trapped. Even if I get my work done I can't go out at night cause my puppy goes to bed at 11pm and wakes up at 6am and so I do too. And I can't go out on the weekends cause I work from 6pm-3am or 6pm-11pm. And school is ever looming in everything I do.

6. I have to miss the Faire cause my cool schedule making boss had a heart attack and is out (but he's doing ok) and I was too chicken to ask my strict boss for the day off. I hope he lets me have my birthday off though. I dunno if I'll even go this year, being that my time and money are just about zero. I sorry Alyssa
