Pick up the phone
So today i slept in until 2:30 when my brother called me to ask the question " Harley, nightwing, batgirl, or spiderman?" I responded that it depended what it was for, but gererally batgirl, then harley, then nightwing then spiderman. Apparently he's getting me discount figures from his work at the hobby shop for late birthday/holiday presents. It was nice to know that he's always thinking about me, makes me feel a bit bad about how little I feel li think about him (does this make me a bad sister?) We have these tides in our life of being really close or really far apart so I'm not going to torment myself about it. I hope I at least get to see him some when I go home for thanksgiving.
Speaking of which my mom called me and seems like the bit of crazyness that was going on with my mom's half of the family is now over. Everyone is on the up and up... my mom decided she's had enough of grandma for now so thanksgiving will be in MD. We talked about all this and my recent life for over an hour when we said our goodbyes and my mom mentioned how much she missed having me around, which is odd because lately i've really felt like thanking her for everything she's done for me... which I could ever do properly, there's just no way to repay your parents for the hell you put them through. But yeah, so it was odd because at that moment i didn't miss her, I suppose because I felt close enough with her over the phone while still being far enough away to be able to feel autonomous (as false as that sensation is right now). I love my mom and I can't wait to go home for thanksgiving but I'm really ok with being where I am right now, away from home ( I think this may also be because being home is going to make me depressed about how little time is left for it to be my home *sigh*)
*insert deep longing for going back to my childhood here*
Ok, so I'm listening to greenday, "warning" the first of their cds which my bff catherine got me when we were like 13 fircking 6 years ago... that's frightening. I don't want to be 19 anymore.. it's too close to 20, and then before you know it I'll be able to drink legally... and then what excuse will I have to not get drunk all the time!? (jk) Ok so now it's to tegan and sara because green day is too nostalgic right now.
Ok, now that music is fixed i continue:
I ran into one of those cool street fairs on park and called my dad while I wandered around to let him know I would be home for thanksgiving, I needed to ask him for money too, but I just couldn't... with him it's such a hassle and a kink in our relationship when it comes to money. I learned from my mom that he claims to be having major credit card debt which I don't know how that happened, it's not like he's bought anything... he could always sell his vast unnessecary collection of music on e-bay. *sigh* I just need like another hundred to hold me out until I get a job or something... (which is when i get to say goodbye to sleep and funlike how) I meet up with Jess for food after that and we got greek from one of the stands and awesome armwarmers from another down the street, 2 for 1. (i would take pics but my camera battery is dead. I'm afraid to look at my bank account see: asking dad for money)
We ate back at my room and I made hot coco, s'more flavored and we talked and I got dresden dolls music and the misfits (now my comp keeps coming up with warnings about being out of space on the start up disk or something... I need an mp3 player with at least 6 gb on it...
Since Jess left to go make dinner for long island buddies I've been working on my layouts for Klause Jansen's class... I just finished my thumbnails and drawing the panel layouts. Now I need my blueline pencil to do the perspective so i don't get too confused... and tomorrow I'm going to the subway to draw from reference for the last two pages. I was so afraid of this assignment, but i think I'm going to be ok now... I can't decide how cartoonish to make the characters... I kinda want them realistic, but not.. I think I may use characters from my futuristic comic that I think I want to do for next semester and for my thesis third year.
I feel bad that I have to let Kristen down and not go to her party tonight, but I can't afford to go to rosevelt island or to not get started on drawing this homework.
