layouts and stuff
Ahh... goodbye to the 5 neat guys. I finally changed my LJ layout after two or three years.
It's currently the turret at Helios, but the journal is blocking the only cool part of the picture. And my favorite picture ever is the one I took of MaryJ eating a donut at the zombie party (photo can be found here: http://static.flickr.com/26/57887681_b80d171546_o.jpg), but it might be kinda weird to have pictures of Mary all over my journal.
So Helios Turret it is until I take another equally fantastic picture with lots of FLASHY STUFF!
I'm in a post-tastic mood today. I know. I apologize. Absolutely nothing going on today, so the only thing for me to do is to finish a scarf I started six months ago, drink a lot of coffee, and such. There's a going away party for my friend Teeka tonight, which I've decided to go to. She was one of those key people in my life as an early teen... she'd pick me up during the summers and would take me swimming, and would show me how to float on my back, and I'd show her how to do backflips in the water.
She's going off to Alaska now for two years, to tend bar and finish school. One of the biggest advocates of ACC that I've ever met.
It hit me today that I really truly do need to go back to school, even if it is just a couple of classes. I need to get my GPA up. So yeah... I've decided to take a math class and a science class for the summer. I'll be taking classes this fall as well. I'll be taking some 8wk classes in the spring, too, before I leave (the 8wk semester finishes up right at spring break).
I understand I have these plans for burning man or transformus, but I also have other plans that're bigger. And my plans for the bigger stuff are simply more important. Transformus sounds do-able, so you know what? I'll aim for that. I can take that time out of my schedule.
School though, it's more important. I do need that set of skills and such that I can build upon, that I can swap out for other things, that I can put together to create something else. I have to go back. I'm sorry. I have to go back. i don't even know who I'm apologizing to.
It's going to be okay though, I do know that.
