So I just got an 82 on the chem test I was sure that I was going to fail. In celebration, I will write an update. Haha XD

Not the only reason I want to write, of course, and not like I need an excuse...rather, I should have an excuse for not updating more...which I actually do...so yea.

Life:
Busy. The social side barely exists anymore. Though in the past (almost month D I've been to the National Equality March in DC, helped a friend get his name changed, gotten my haircut, been in the school newspaper, broken off a one day from one year relationship, and managed to keep an up to date journal of my days activities (a private one, obviously), killed the battery in my car completely, seriously considered a piercing or two, etc. I've done other stuff, but that's the stuff that comes to mind currently.

Work:
This is what consumes most of my life outside of school, and why I don't have much time for the social anymore. This is probably equal to school in the amount of stress it causes. I work anywhere from 6-8 hours a day, pretty much 5 or 6 days a week. Long weekends, and every other day takes my night after classes. I still don't have my last paycheck either because my bank is retarded and I have to go through a bunch of stuff to fix a mistake THEY made. Ugh. That's one of my chores today.

School:
Really stresses me out. I'm really happy about my chem grade today though. Math, specifically pre-calc, not so much. I don't know what I'm going to do to get my grade up, but I have one test and a final to do it. I can't drop since I dropped lab, and I'd be part time if I did. Plus, I don't want to. I want to get it done with.
Financial aid still fails too. Registration starts soon and I have a hold due to my inability to pay them $400 in one week's notice basically. SO have to get rid of that and register soon. Still not sure how I'm "getting rid of that" considering I lack suck funds...but I guess I'll figure it out.

So yea...today's activities are: getting a new battery, going to the bank, getting my paycheck, and whatever else. Luckily, I have today and the next two days off. Probably get to donate plasma (you can make up to $220 a month doing that, did you know?!) And Godfreys, what? Yea. I'm going to make the most of these days, that's for sure.

Hope you all are well. All being whoever still reads this...haha.

Peace

I promise I'm not dead! I feel like I'm dying because of my current Upper Respiratory Infection, but otherwise, I'm not dead. Hacking up a storm still, but I'm hoping it'll be gone soon. This is my only day other than the weekend off work too, so I need the rest.

Art has been slow because of the sickness, which is making me fall behind in school (considering the classes I've been told kindly to leave by awesome professors, and those I just haven't bothered going to since I'd just cough the entire time and be miserable). I'm finally trying to catch up on everything, but it really is a bummer to get sick and be this behind. I should be able to manage though. I think I will!

Hooray! Trying to be positive!

On a lighter note. I'm going to DC this weekend with some friends to march in the National Equality March. It should be uber exciting. I shall take many photos :] I know a few people have expressed interest in seeing pictures, since they can't make it themselves. I'm sad KJ can't go, but she has work and whatnot :/ I got lucky and it somehow managed to be on the one weekend I'll probably have off ever. I couldn't get Friday, KJ and my one year anniversary, off though. Total bummer.

Speaking of photography though. Along with a sketch, I'm starting to photograph people more. I love seeing what people can do. I've had a few people offer to do it, and if they give me permission to post, I might just do that. It should be interesting :] I'm also working on some sketches...but who knows with that art genre...we'll see what comes if you stick around. Bear with my lack of time management please

Peace and Love.

Hello, hello!

Life
So I'm a bit late with the update, I'm aware. I think I may give blood today, so this might be quick too. I might do a longer update eventually, but to be honest, a lot of stuff is going on in every aspect of life currently and I'm going to spend today hanging out with KJ and trying to forget it as much as possible while she's here.

School
Tests, tests, tests. I finally don't have any in the future that are currently pressing. Lots of homework though, of course.

Work
Definitely working for Lowe's now. $9.03 an hour and possible raises after 90 days, and 9 months. Freakin sweet. First day was today. Training for the next few days is going to be dull as hell, but I'm going to have a great time. So worth it.

Art
Still haven't used the new sketch book, but lots of ideas. Keep a look out...they're sure to turn up soon :]

Misc.
Queer Action is still going well. More updates on that at another time.

Anyway...going to give blood

KJ is coming soon, so have to hustle :]

Much love.
Peace

Hello, hello!

Life
It's another Saturday! I've been living in my new place for a week now. It's still very exciting. Something else that's exciting is that I took my rollerblades out of my car yesterday and tested them by skating to Verry Berry where the owner had made me a CD of the music he's been playing in the shop. Beautiful piano music by a Taiwanese man is wonderful for stress relief or enjoying a nice cup of hot tea on some of the more dreary days we've been having here in Richmond.

School
School is school still. I'm also still doing things ahead of the due date. I managed to finish multiple assignments already today I have two tests in the next week, Pre-calc and Human Spirituality, but I think they should be fine. Already did well on my first Statistics test, but not looking forward to the first Chemistry test...though as of now that's not a pressing matter. I am doing better than I thought I would in classes. I'm pretty much gonna be fine I think

Work
Dollar Tree is done. They called the other day, on my 11 month anniversary with KJ (in which she was visiting), at 5 to tell me that I was supposed to work at 4:30 that day. I had heard absolutely nothing from them since the first day I worked, and a man whom I had no idea the identity told me that I was supposed to come look at the schedule because that was my responsibility. While I would agree with this, I would not agree if my boss told me that he would call if he needed me or when he put a schedule up. He did neither, and I should not be expected to go out of my way to look at something I didn't even know existed. So...the unidentified man told me that "He'd just write me in as not coming back" because I told him I couldn't work that night, and I basically told him "I don't care. Do what you want." Haha. That's not me, but for this shitty job, I made a personality shift.

In better news. I'm sure to be working at Lowe's soon. Two intense interviews with high ranking managers, a drug test, and a background check makes me think this job is going to be a little more serious. I'm very excited about it. Now, I'm just waiting for the manager to call back once he gets the results from the test and check. Yay

Art
One morning I got soaked on the way to chemistry, and on the way back I decided to buy a donut and a new sketchbook to make me feel better I have yet to use the sketchbook, but if Strawberry Panic doesn't steal every moment of free time like Soul Eater did these past weeks, then I'm sure to work on something. I've also opened PS a few times to attempt coloring my Shiny Toy Guns piece seen on my front page. Long task with a touchpad, for sure. We'll see if anything comes from that, but no promises.

I'm proud of my 3 minute poem at most that I posted. It was random, but I really like it. I have been reading poetry, but I'm still not sure how much of that will be popping up. It's more likely that I'm going to write a fanfiction for Soul Eater. If you haven't seen that anime, give it a chance. It's amazing, and created by the makers of Final Fantasy if that helps at all.

Misc.
Queer Action is still going well. Collaborations are being made with other organizations to put together Drag Ball this year. It's sad we don't get to do it ourselves, but budget cuts call for such action. The protest is looking like a go too, which is super exciting. Anybody you know in Richmond that doesn't like violence or hatred should come! Speak out against violence! Yay!

Anyway...I'm sure that's long enough. Thanks for reading!

Happy 11 months and 3 days KJ

Much love.
Peace

Hello, hello!

Life
It's Saturday. It's also the first day I'm in my room of the newly renovated house I'll be renting for the next two semesters. I'm very excited about it, yet sad because KJ and I won't be together all the time anymore. I'm not worried about it though, I know we'll be just fine

I have some of my stuff organized, but I'll start settling more as time passes. For now, I have what I need organized and just misc stuff of mine to put into neat little places.

School
School is school. I'm actually getting stuff done early this year. I'm very proud of myself. I think I'm going to do pretty well if I stay ahead like I have been doing

Work
The Dollar Tree job is pretty crappy. I've only worked one night since I was hired like...2 weeks ago, and it was terrible (though part of that may have been due to my bad health that particular night). Still, it's not the kind of job I'm going to enjoy. I had an interview with Lowe's Thursday, and I'm hoping to hear back from them soon. I think I'll get more hours there. I need the money to pay the rent for this new place!

Art
Chi was my latest piece. I haven't worked on anything else, but I have A LOT of ideas. I'll probably be doing a bit more anime sketching lately, but I also really want to work on portraits/realistic a bit more as well. I'll see how that goes...for now I have to get a little more settled and make sure all the work for classes gets done first.

Misc.
Queer Action is going really great this year. I'm secretary and I feel really great in my role. We have a lot of great plans for the organization this year, and it's thrilling to be in the "behind-the-scenes" instead of just being a member. Yay, officer status is so exciting. One of our first things is a big protest! Or...hopefully it'll be big enough. Very exciting.

I've been up since 6:45...and it didn't even take that long to move in today. Silly grandparents...Either way, a nap sounds nice.

Though I might visit KJ. I miss her bunches already :/

Anyway...a bit longer of an update. More is sure to come eventually art-wise.

Much love.
Peace
