SORRY!

Ugh, I really stink at doing one of these every day. I just...am really not motivated, or I forget...Imma try to do better, though.

School starts tomorrow, which is...um...well, not really fun...but it's one semester closer to graduation! The only problem is, I only have about half the money I need to pay tuition without books...that's something I don't get. I haven't spent hardly anything, maybe 100 dollars for food, and I've been working all semester...and I'm still short. I work for the college, and they dictate the hours I can work and my wage...so I'm thinking they should really either give me a scholarship for working for their crappy pay, or let me work more hours, or raise my wages, or STOP RAISING TUITION...but when I can't afford to go to their college on the wages they give me...something is messed up, no? Anyway, I guess I'll take out another loan.

My wrists and forearms are killing me, cuz I've been stupid. See, I'm a closet actress and I love to learn stuff. Apart from learning how to cry on camera (something that seems IMPOSSIBLE for me to do), one thing I want to learn is how to fall. Problem is...I don't have anybody to teach me that. So basically I just sort of stand in my room and will myself to topple over. I do this a few times or until the landlady comes up to ask who's throwing furniture around. Usually I pad the floor with, like, clothes or something. Last time I practiced...I didn't. OW. I caught myself on my hands, which are now hurting.

I'd also love to learn martial arts. And dance. Wouldn't that be cool?

I watched the Newsies for the first time Saturday and am now totally crushing on the guy who plays Jack, even though at the time he was probably a lot younger than I am...Teehee!

I've started a transcription project that's going to take until doomsday to finish, but personally I think it's worth it. RP-wise I have nothing to do...my character is in shock so basically I write her just sitting there blankly...and no one is really interacting with her right now, anyway. Usually in that situation I'd write a character journal...but the girl can't even lay down and sleep on her own, or feed herself. I'd guess typing would be a little out of the question.

Video-wise, I'm trying to get up the gumption to make Flock art around all my other projects. I'm waiting for James to get his Luna video up, which is really an excuse because I haven't made the second Storyteller vid yet. I've got all the pieces: the awesome audio, and the mystical video...it's just putting it all together. I also have to find stock footage and put it together with the audio for the subsequent video...Finding stock footage is the bane of my existance. I wish I had more access to things so I could say to someone "Let's go down and film (such and such). I need it." But two problems with that: 1) Hospitals tend to frown on you taking footage in their rooms, I found out, and 2) My camera's not the best quality. If I want it good, it needs to be stock. Just...finding new footage is ALWAYS a problem. I'm also still waiting for the community to figure out the puzzle I gave them...

Anyway, I need to get to bed so that I can go learn. Yup, yay!
