i know it hasnt been long since my last journal, but a lot is happening right now.

I found out that the internet wasn't working because somebody hacked into my school's network and fucked it up. so now it goes in and out, usually staying on for only a few minutes. It has been that way for a couple days, but now i think it's starting to get better. I can manage to stay online for at least ten or fifteen minutes without being booted. but it seems like IRC hates my internet, since everytime i sign on it instantly kills my connection. i dont know if it takes up too much bandwidth or what (which would be crazy because it's just a little chat program...)

but anyway, that'll all be over soon since i'm leaving this friday for my mom's house. I've decided i want to get a simple factory job. Factories pay pretty well and it doesnt take much effort. Sure it's boring, but what job isnt? I just want something to bring the money in while i focus on my art.

ok, here's the real BIG NEWS i mentioned in the subject header: there's a pretty good chance that I'LL BE MOVING TO GEORGIA THIS FALL!!! A good friend of mine from high school is moving there with her family, and she came up with a plan for four of us to go there with her. As of right now, the plan is to get a place together in a small town (i forget the name of it, but it's where she is moving) just outside Atlanta. We'll all work for a year and then go to the University of Georgia (where the first two years are free if you are a resident) and finish college. This would be so perfect for me, i would get away from Baker (dont ever go there) and west michigan in general. I'll be with people who all have the same idea i do about pursuing your passion and taking risks instead of playing it safe. i have a friend who makes his own music, and another who does physical stunts. I have my filmmaking skills and drawing skills. we all plan to put our efforts together and make awesome videos and stuff. It'll be a totally awesome environment for me, surrounded by people who are passionate and encourage creativity. It's basically all i've ever wanted out of life, and i hope it works out.

plus, i'll be able to go to FWA every year, since i'm right there! and maybe i can hang out with other people i know in the area. It would be sweet. I could probably even make it to some of Ilani's parties down in florida.

anyway, i hope that all works out, and let me know what you all think!
