Andrea and I needed to buy some groceries last night, which meant a bus ride and short walk. As soon as we stepped off the bus, we could smell a wood burning stove in one of the nearby houses. As it turns out, both of us love that scent because it brings back many childhood memories of gathering around bonfires, making s’mores, and spending time ( Read more... )

I don't have much time to update amidst my scrambling to get my stuff packed to move back to ISU (that and playing WoW a lot), but I will say that Anime Iowa 2008 has come and gone. We had a good time, and everyone attending the stage cosplay competition got FUCKING RICK ROLLED.

I finally checked my grades today, having put it off for the last three weeks for fear of what I would discover. I had the feeling that I didn't do as well as I hoped in two of my classes.

London was amazing. I took over 1000 pictures, but haven’t had a chance to get them off my camera yet. Every single day was packed full of site seeing and whatnot, and a hell of a lot of drinking at various pubs (strawberry beer = great).

Not one person in our group got more than five hours of sleep over the course of the weekend. The ball itself was fantastic, and the after ball party ended up being pretty good too….I ended up having an eight hour long conversation ( Read more... )

I've managed to pull myself out of my yearly winter slump (this time it lasted for six weeks), have been feeling better, have been more cheerful lately, and have been watching Shaun of the Dead a lot. I've also been watching a hell of a lot of anime and reading a lot of manga, which has helped (mostly...why the fuck do I read Berserk when I'm ( Read more... )

I wish I could wear these leggings. If I could, I would strut around in them proudly....I would even run through an enemy town in them.

The spring semester has begun, and everything is going well….with my classes, that is. Outside of classes, I seem to have developed a habit of getting ill on an almost daily basis. I’m losing weight, sleep, and some of my hair has fallen out (although not a lot). Fun times, made even more fun by the fact that I don’t know why this is happening. ( Read more... )
