*is slapped for the Futurama reference*
AHEM
I think things may FINALLY be looking up *knocks on wood*
I went by the Trustees' office today after lunch (knocking off from the Christian Center's slave labor a good three hours early xD) and asked if there was any way they could help me make it out of state. "Ask and thou shall receive" I believe is the term, yes? Three or so days the city should be able to get me a bus ticket to Johnsonville, TN, from which I'll take a cab to Boone, NC where my good friend Ashley has graciously offered me refuge.
I intend to spend the rest of this week filling out applications online for things like McDonalds and Burger King, so that once I get there I don't have to start from absolute zero. I'm also going to look into whatever scholarships, grants, loans, whatever that I may be eligible for so that i can go back to school and try to make something of my life. I'm thinking Architectural major this time around..

I also wish to mention that I MAY have found an artist for Meridus. At the very least, she was willing to negotiate. I've worked out outlines for roughly 20 arcs, and more is being written, so I believe I should have enough to keep it going for a reasonably long run. I merely hope that things work out with this artist *crosses fingers and hopes beyond hope*
