| Ah....School. Fall abounds with hellish things. All except a very few pleasures - one such being Myst IV: Revelation. Let's just say I'd like to go Achenar on a few people. College has been really rough for me lately for some reason. I find it getting less and less enjoyable than I thought it was to begin with. The only decent people I've found at that school are my one otaku friend and my lab partner in science class. I don't even enjoy seeing people that I actually tolerated in that boot camp called high school. I've found that I've lost my will to draw - everything artistic has been sapped out of me. I did draw something today - but for the first time in a long time - it was an "aggressive" picture. A person huddled up in the fetal position - me, of course - hugging my school books. I even wrote a poem next to it about "going over the edge." I decided it was a little too aggressive, so I added tears....cause recently I can't stop crying. The more I know about Myst, the more my life becomes it. It's all cold and empty now except for my fantastic internet friends and my family (and pets ^-^). It's a feeling of COMPLETE loneliness and despair. Like being trapped somewhere, knowing you'll never be released unless you end it yourself. And sometimes, you can't even do that. It's become a mental and even physical burden, but if it weren't for all that I do have, I guarantee you I wouldn't be here to write this. | | |
| Oi xx Long day. We went to this seafood restaurant out in the "BoonieS" (or as we like to call it, Super Boonies). They must have two owners because the outside of the restaurant has tiki spirit totems, and the inside has pirate/boating/fish AND Indian AND 1950s decor! Someone's got their wires crossed. It takes an hour and a half to two hours just to get there, so I brought plenty of comic books and stuff for the car ride. I could hardly eat anything because it was all so greasy and nasty. I got a few shrimp, imitation crab meat (Yum! But I'd like to crack the legs myself.), and a salad. They have these signs that say that the management reserves the right to charge you extra for whatever you put on your plate and don't eat! I wouldn't doubt that some of this food is...eh...."recycled". Back at home now. Debating on playing some games out of boredom. Britcoms are on though - Yay BBC. | | |

Fridays used to be my good days. I'll have to admit - sometimes it's fun to cart my grandmother around the entire city - but we've started fighting a lot more. It's starting to wear on my nerves so that I don't even want to be near her.
Saw my old Gov./Econo. teach from high school today. She was pretty cool, but I never expected her to remember me. I always stuck myself off in the corner and shut up because I knew what was good for my health *and grades*. She told me to come to the school and to visit, because all the teachers were wondering about me. A big "O.o" to that. I'm surprised she knew my name to begin with - and now they're all wanting me to come visit?
I have a really good story for all you "softies" out there. (Well, I am really too, but promise you won't tell?) Anyway, there's a handicapped boy at my college, and the only family he has are his grandparents who push him back and forth to classes (since he's in a wheelchair). He's so sweet, but he can barely speak straight, and he has a love for all things anime! I was so surprised to find another otaku at the college - I thought I was alone! We got to talking over the phone (which is really hard for him, but he's very intelligent), and he's really nice. He asked me to teach him to draw anime-style, so I bought him two anime how-to-draw books and promised to teach him when school starts back. One day, I was out to lunch with Granny, and the car next to ours was very familiar. I looked up - and the boy's grandmother was coming out of the restaurant! I ran for the trunk of my car where I kept the book and waved my arms, "Hey, It's me! Katie!" She looked confused for a minute, then smiled wide and gave me a huge hug. I gave her the book and asked her to give it to him, and suddenly she was frowning. She looked up at me, her husband in the car did too, "What do we owe you for these? We'll probably have to wait til our next check comes in..." I looked back at their beat-up old car and smiled, already knowing what to say, "Don't worry about it. Those are for him to learn. Just tell him to start practicing." She smiled and hugged my neck and thanked me, and then they got in the car and left. That's about 40$ out of my wallet - but it's also something that I'll never forget. | | |
| Been a while, huh? Well - Summer's almost over for me. Three or four more weeks and I'll be completely packed out with classes and work. I'll still try to take time to lay out my stress here. Lucky you ^^ | | |
| WooTWooT!!!!!!!! TOMORROW IS MY LAST DAY!!!!!! Monday was my final in Math, on which I DEFINITELY got an A+. Today was English - which was really a bitch. I have two A's and two B's in that course, but the teacher wrote down my letter grade as a C!! Yuck...Gonna have to call her about that. Finished with English and scooted to the dark room for 2 hours while I popped out 5 prints for my final. I'll miss the dark room and my teach. She's a nice lady - and very forgiving if you miss an assignment.
Anywho, Tomorrow will be Art History and Photography. I'm so giddy I could scream o.o By 12 p.m. tomorrow, I will be a SOPHOMORE in college!!! >< More time for Furcadia and more time to do what I want!! *Runs free, armed with a Super Soaker®, Nerf® gun, and more water balloons than you can shake a stick at...* | | |
