Wow, it's been a long time since I've been on here. But today, while not doing my work AGAIN, I decided to revist it. 

If you have read Diereality's xanga you might have known that this is our last quarter here at Ai and we will be graduating (hopefully!) on June 15th.  Work is piled aplenty for me.  Wonder what an animator's gotta do to get out of this joint? We have to put together a demo reel, which is almost like a mini movie showcasing some of our works (preferrably the best), a print portfolio which is a book that shows off our drawing and design skills, a logo, and a resume that shows who we are and something that can capture employers' attentions.  Right now, I'm finishing up a project I want to put in my demo reel which is a short animation called Clockwork Dancer.  IT IS ONE OF THE MOST LONGEST AND MOST WORK EXTENSIVE PROJECT I HAVE EVER WORKED ON.....  Since first drawing the storyboards for the projects I've been at  this thing for almost six to nine months.... and it doesn't seem that it is up the time I spent on it... Urgh, sadness.  Others things to do is to try to put in an animation showing some motion from a swordsman, finishing this abstract paint project, putting it together all nice and spiffy in a movie, and then redo my print portfolio.  My time limit? Three weeks. Yes, less than a month.  I then get two weeks to fix things, then another two weeks to finish others things.  Hopefully I will survive.  Diereality doesn't seem as stressed as me, so I'm happy for her, but worried for me! I hope you guys can come see me and diereality at our portfolio show (which displays both our reels and portfolio) and our graduation ceremony on June 15th.  If not, I'm eventually having a graduation party so we can meet then.

Now, for drama.  I won't bore too much with details, but there is so much drama in our little group of Ai buddies that I'm choking on it.  I guess as you know more or get to know more about people you start to feel really insecure or annoyed at certain things, and I suppose it's the time now that those things have transcended to slight annoyances to OH WHY DO YOU DO THAT?!?!?!  I suppose it's bound to happen when hanging around the same people for three to four years.  (Even though I didn't start to feel that way about you guys...) I don't really feel that way about anyone, but I'm really starting to get sick of hearing everyone's grievences over and over again and screaming SHUT UP AND GET ALONG DAMN IT!!! But for not I'm going to wait around to see if harmony is restored again.

Other drama, diereality has broken up with her boyfriend :(.  It seems he is an idiot and didn't appreciate what he had and let it go without even lifting a pinky.  And what do we say to that? SCREW HIM!  I feel really bad though for the unhappiness die is feeling, but she's a very capable and strong person and she is going on with her life to better things now.  

Well, that's it.  Sorry for not being in contact to much and not commenting on your sites.  I'll get better at it hopefully.  Ja ne! 

Hello everyone! It's been nearly what? Six months now? Geez, neway, there's just not much going on in my life I suppose to put much about on the internet.... Well, except now, so here I go!

Last Thursday,  a couple of my Ai friends decided they didn't want to go to their Contemporary Art class and wanted to go to Applebees instead for some drinks.  I decided to join and said to myself, why not?!

I've had my second alcoholic drink of my life: the Mango-tini from Applebees.  It was a fancy looking combination of Captain Morgan's Parrot bay Mango Rum, Peach Schnapps, Cranberry juice, and another alcohol I don't remember.  It was less in quantity to that Bahama Mama, and tasted a little better too.  I though have come to the conclusion that I don't really like the taste of alcohol. But I had fun nonetheless enjoying my slight buzz, and fortunately, I was able to somber up before driving home that night.

I now have a livejournal as well, so sometimes, I might just copy and paste entries here and there.

Unfulfilled Heart Chapter Seven: Love and Hate is now complete.  I'm about 10 or so pages into Chapter Eight, so hopefully it'll be done by Xmas! I'm planning on trying to finish a page a day, so wish me luck!

Okay, now onto the juicy stuff.  If you have already read diereality's xanga, she had made the announcement that she now has a new bo.  And you'll never guess who it is! I didn't when she first told me! I still don't!  Anyway, the luck guy is: scary Gary.  That's right.

For those who don't know or remember, me and diereality have mentioned G on several occasions.  He's is one of our weird Ai aquaintances that I described as a paranoid, angry loner, which me and diereality befriended in first quarter on sort of a whim, that led to unleashing the quiet loner into a brutally honest, swearing, paranoid, slightly skizo lug we all know today.  But I'm really exaggerating here.  G is a very cool guy actually, and he is actually very considerate and believe it or not...nice.  He was a little crass and all, but me and diereality, even in those first quarters really enjoyed finding out more about the mysterious and somewhat horribly fascinating G.  But never in a million years would I have guessed that diereality and this G will be going out! It never even crossed my mind! And still baffles me!

Still hearing about Gary now through Misty's stories almost paints a whole new picture of Gary I never knew b4. Instead of this brooding, strange, paranoid guy I knew from first quarter, I hear about how caring and actually, kinda romantic he is... which fascinates and frightens me a little.... still, I'm just really happy for Misty on finding out how great a guy he really is and that Gary, apparently harboring a crush for her for THREE YEARS (that's right since first quarter ppl...) he was finally was able to have the privelege of being Misty's boyfriend... (urg, it's still baffling thinking about calling him that...)

Okay, I'm done ranting now. Ja ne!

Hey everyone! Guess what? I just had my first fancy alcohholic drink, and it tasted really gross.....  I was at Khan's tonight and I had something called a Bahama Mama, which contained dark rum, light rum, pineapple juice, ornage juice, and grenadine, and it just tasted... horrible.  My only goal after ordering it and sipping it for the first time was to finish it and take responsibility for what I ordered, and I'm telling u, after every sip, about 1/4 to 1/8 of that 9 in tall glass was gone.  1/2 through the glass, I felt light-headed and kinda weird....  Neway, cheer 4 me if u want, I have finally been kinda drunk after my 21 years of life!

I also want to thank Lady for driving home tonight.

And I'm not sure if I missed it or not, but if so, I just want to wish Annemarie a very happy b-day!

Everyone, goodnight and ja ne!
