Rock this bitch
So the last few days have been hella interesting to say the least.
I did Mardi Gras really big this year as it may have been my last opportunity to do so for some time. (More on that in a moment.) We stayed at Charles' parents place in Metarie Sunday through Mardi Gras day and I have to say it's one of the craziest but most fun times I've ever had in the French Quarter. I'd never really been on Bourbon Street with friends at night before, so that was one hell of an experience. I got my eyebrow pierced in a moment of insane spontinuity and impulse and I'm really glad I did it! It looks so cool, I feel all...punk rock or something, lol. In any case, now that it's Lent I decided to give up alcohol and desserts (only the big after dinner type, not sweets in general like last year.) Let's see how that goes...> >;
I haven't told my rents yet but I really don't give a damn what they're going to think. I found out Sunday that my brother got a MASSIVE and somewhat hideous/gaudy tattoo over his entire upper arm. This, if you all don't know, is the one thing my father told my brother he'd KILL him over, so of course he's livid. Like seriously, I visited them for lunch on the way to New Orleans and he was brooding and carrying on with how he wishes he could throw him out the house pretty much the entire time I was there. I figure he can't get too mad about the piercing I got, I mean come on, my brother gets away with everything. They can't possibly get mad at me. My favorite part of this story is my brother asked for gas money the day he got the tatt, and my dad feeling "sorry" for him filled his tank which he then proceeded to use to drive himself to the tattoo parlor to get his $200+ tatt. It might have even cost more than that, the thing is ENORMOUS. My dad kept going on about how he's going to stop paying for my brother's stuff, but whatever. He's so full of shit I can't even take him seriously. I just laugh at them now because I can't do anything about it and I just don't give a fuck anymore. So not my problem.
I found out today that I got into New York Law! I'm like, beyond words about how happy I am that I actually got into a New York school! I still would rather go to NYU, but I won't know if I got into that school until April. I'm really proud of myself for a change, but at the same time I'm feeling especially spiteful towards my parents. They're proud I guess, but both of them aren't happy for me. In fact, they're downright pissed off and upset that I got in. I know it's just because they love me and don't want to see me go that far away from them, but it still really hurts. Oh well. I'm doing things for me for a change. I said I was going to, and I'm doing it. Hell yeah.
On another note, I'm considering going to Anime Boston as well as A-kon this year. It'll be kinda insane, Graduation, Anime Boston, and A-kon are all about a week apart but at least money from graduation should help me finance both trips. I really hope I can pull it off. Currently considering a Yoko cosplay! I've become amazingly infatuated with Gurren Lagann lately, like holy shit. I usually hate girls in anime, but Yoko is awesome! I used to think cosplaying her was just girls wanting to show off or something, but I really love her character! Haha, I guess my red-head is always my favorite rule applies to chicks as well. XD
