OMG I don't even know where to start...

Ok, so here's what's been happening so far and what shall come to pass in the near future:

I've been freaking out and stressed out to my limits the past week with NUMEROUS things. Finances, school, personal/love life (or lack thereof), the near future and what it'll mean for me academically and socially, next year's living situation, the immediate future and the exam on Monday that I won't be able to study for due to MFF which is a BIG exam, and homework in one of my classes due Monday as well. ALL of this on top of having to prepare for MFF. I've not hardly been at my apartment all week. I've practically lived in the lab on campus except to go eat and come home to sleep. Tonight I was literally shaking because I was under so much stress and to top it all off my roommate is trying to stiff me on this month's electric bill, and he was up there at the lab trying to make himself look cool at the expense of insulting me. I was ready to kill someone. BUT, after finally coming back to the apartment at 1am, I have finished (mostly) what I have needed to do for school, and now can start packing and worrying about MFF.

Once I'm done packing (I might only do half tonight and the other half tomorrow when I get up),  rokkaiser,  eenyuwolf, and myself are off to the Grand Rapids area to meet up with  scardykat85 and  redaurora, from there, it's off to the chicago area where we will check into our hotel (the first overflow hotel, come find us! XD) and meet with  sushikitten and  nastynateradium. Should be awesome I don't know what else to write here because my brain is shutting down right now. Later!

*also, come find me at MFF and give me a hug, I honestly wouldn't mind as many as I can get this weekend, heh XD*

OMGWTFBBQETC

So moreso for myself than for you all, I'm making a list of things to bring to MFF and to do before MFF. If you have any suggestions please let me know! I hope I don't forget anything...

To Do Before:

~ The Bank! (most important as I need to get spending money (some places and definitely the artist alley will not take debit cards, lol.)
~ Make sure I have enough in my checking to cover the cost of the hotel room.
~ Fuel up
~ Study for my Thermodynamics and Radiation exam (This could be difficult. The exam is on Monday and I know I'm not going to study during MFF...)

... I'm sure there are some other things I might have to do as well but I'm drawing a blank at the moment.

To BRING:
~ Checkbook
~ Camera (durrrrrr)
~ COFFEE omg I need my coffee mug, thermos, and a freshly brewed cup of my special blend of Traverse City Cherry and Mackinac Island Fudge (Chocolate Covered Cherry Coffee as I call it) for the roooooooooad.
~ Glowsticks??? (not sure yet about these. I'm not much of a dancer or such even though I did some at FCN)
~ Cell phone charger and cell phone (I do tend to forget them sometimes)
~ MP3 player and charger (for the road trip in case things get too quiet but I doubt it)
~ Plenty of batteries for said camera
~ Laptop (with which to store the photos and videos when the card gets full)
~ Clothes and personal toiletries (durrrrrr)
~ A pillow (Just one standard issue hotel pillow won't do, and I kinda like mine)
~ Tail, collar and badges (or maybe just the tail and badges, not sure yet)
~ Hugs (Though I never leave home without them)
~ aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand I don't know what else.

If you are going to MFF I invite you to look for me ^_^ I'll have plenty of ways to identify myself hanging off of me, plus I'm a relatively large guy so I tend to stick out. I will be hanging with a group of furs most likely for the greater part of the weekend, such as  scardykat85  rokkaiser  eenyuwolf  bluedragon407  redaurora  nastynateradium  oddy and last but certainly not least,  sushikitten

(additionally I shall endeavor to hang out with  Kitsuneko and her husband, Whisper.)

Look me up!

I am sure I will have a full con report to fill out when I get back. Hopefully though I don't suffer PCD as much like I did after FCN, heh.

So as you can see, I've updated my profile with songs, poetry and pics. 'Bout time. I'm also going to have to start making a list of things I need to do before MFF and things to take with me. I'm starting to get excited ^_^

Hopefully after I've had a nap and some time to rest, and the next time I'm bored, I'll start making that list (and checking it twice etc etc).

Don't know why that song is stuck in my head right now but anywho...

So you may have noticed I uploaded a few things. Awesome right? No? Well whatever. My FA was looking kind of bare, and I do enjoy photography and poetry on the side (though whether or not I post any poetry is yet TBD).

Some stuff has been going on in my personal life which I won't bore you with, but needless to say I'm making it through Just in time to get excited about MFF! I still haven't registered yet. I've got the room reserved and such, but for some reason I keep dragging my tail to register *shrugs* Maybe it's spending more money, lol. I'm such a miser. I'm starting to get excited about it though. I was thinking about getting a plushie to carry with me there resembling a certain pink husky boi ( koinu-kun) but we'll see XD

Other news, ummm... not a whole lot actually. College is still going same as always. Faculty strike that might have happened today/tomorrow isn't. They sent out an email saying that they extended the contract for a week in order to hammer out details but in other words, no strike ever. I support the faculty, I really do, but I guess a part of me was kind of hoping for a small break from school, heh.

Family and friends, hmmm... Well family is doing alright. I miss them actually. I've gotten pretty independent on my own but there are some times when I miss hanging out with them. Usually when I'm in a funk or a slump it's them (or my friends) that make me feel better, even if they don't know I'm down. My friends are doing alright as well, although I should hang out with them more often. I'm beginning to get introverted again XD I need to socialize more. I love my "me" time but it can be unhealthy emotionally/mentally, because when left alone with my thoughts, it can be a bad thing, lol.

SOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooo that's about it. Later!

Just clearing away an old entry. Might update tomorrow if I'm bored enough, for now, it's bed time ^_^

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27018802/

Utterly ridiculous.

tl;dr : Dress code may be initiated in order to vote.

Today I saw Gabe off to VA. And you know what? For the first time I realized I may not see him again. I broke down there in the parking lot on the way out. Even now as I type this... *sighs* Why is it we never truly realize what we have until it's gone? I just need...a hug. I need someone, something to take the pain away (don't worry, I'm not suicidal nor a drug/alcohol abuser, just saying). Every little thing reminds me of him or a memory of us. He's been living with me the past couple of weeks in Mt. Pleasant up until now just because we wanted to spend as much time together as possible before he had to leave for VA. I couldn't let him stay with me...I just couldn't. It'd be too soon and too complicated, but he wasn't happy in Flint and couldn't live there anymore. He needed out. Now I find myself regretting that decision. He left a lot of stuff with me because he couldn't bring it with him on the bus. One includes a giant stuffed animal. My bed is going to be so cold and lonely at night. Gah I can't even type right now. I miss him so much... :'(

So I said I'd give an update when things settled down, so here I am ^_^

I've moved from Flint and now am in my apartment in Mt. Pleasant. It is very nice. It's a two bedroom, one bathroom, with a decent sized living room in my opinion and a good sized kitchen/dining room. I look forward to testing out my culinary skills (or lack thereof XD). Most of my stuff is unpacked but I have a bit more in the bedroom to unpack and sort. Not sure when I'll get around to it. I'm going to be pretty much on my own until my roommate comes next week.

On a more personal note, I need your support and such. I can't even begin to go into the details or the why and how of this, but I've decided to call it quits between my current mate and myself after this week (by this week I mean when I take him home next Wednesday, as he's staying with me for a week). I know it sounds cruel but believe me when I say if I had taken the time to give you the why and how and details, you'd agree with me. I ask for the moral support because admittedly I'm weak. I tried to do this once before and he managed to sucker me back into the relationship by bawling and pleading with me, and despite everything I still love him like no other and it breaks my heart so much to hear him cry. However, it has become a necessity at this point. Like a bandaid, or perhaps more accurately, like sitting in the waiting room at the dentist's office. You know what's coming, and you know it'll hurt like Hell, but you also know after all is said and done, in the long run, you're going to be much better off.

Our relationship has become a battle ground (yeah I know, Love is a Battlefield, etc etc). I don't like to think that I'm just giving up and walking away though. I've stuck with it for far longer than most normal people would have. But there's a time when you have to realize that it isn't walking away or giving up, it's just the realization that things can't work out.

More later perhaps

Now that I'm caught up on FA stuffs...

well updates coming soon. Don't really have time since I have to get to bed. I'm moving in less than 36 hours back up to Mt. Pleasant and I have a lot of packing and preparation left to do. I'll have a lot of free time though on my hands this week once I get up there. I'll have the internet, and my mate most of the this week and next staying with me for awhile. So yup, I'll update more later.

That's right, I'm the egotistical kind of jerk that likes to remind everyone it's his birthday, lol

So yeah ^_^ 24 today. Not a big one, that comes next year when I became medically screwed insurance-wise. BUT, for now, huzzah. I told my parents to tell the other family members that come, that as far as b-day presents go, all I want is money and gas cards, because I really want to be able to see all my furry friends next month XD

On a side note, I might be getting my financial aid/loan money a bit sooner than I had anticipated. They told me I couldn't apply for the extra money until July 1st which usually ends up getting to me by the end of July, and that's because the website doesn't let you physically put in information for the next school year until it gets closer to time. Long story short, it was updated today and allowed me to be able to apply for it, so maybe I can get it by mid-July, which would make me very very happy.

Until next time

Ok, first thing's first. Mad props (g-dawg -insert other gangster terms-) to  kitsuneko for her awesome Gift Art and Icon of my fursona, Slade. I mean I am extremely happy about how this turned out and might even model my future suit after it.

Looky!

*murrs* ^_^ Seriously though, awesome and thanks Kit I love it.


Lastly, the crossroads you may have heard me mention before? Yeah I think I've reached a decision on which path to take. It's extremely painful to have to choose at this point. Even now as I type this, well...I don't want to hurt anyone but sometimes these things happen. I just, really need stability right now. I usually don't take advice until it's too late, but I may take a good friend of mine's advice and just call the whole thing off for now. Need some time and space. Don't worry about me though, folks, I've been through worse and it's all for the best Besides I have a furmeet to get ready for!

I need some serious advice and guidance on an issue, but it's one of those things that's kind of personal and I don't exactly know how to talk about it. While I shouldn't care what other people think, the fact of the matter is, I DO care what my friends think, and I don't want to lose their respect for what may seem like obvious stupidity on my part. I'll try though, and forgive me if it sounds a little cryptic, I just would prefer not to name names right now.

I'm having a crisis of conscience. A battle between logic and love, head vs. heart. Now, most of us have grown up in a world that proclaims fairy tale platitudes and proverbs that say to "follow your heart" and "Love conquers all" to be the ultimate answer, but that's just not always true or plausible, is it? Sometimes we are faced with a choice that doesn't really seem like it should be a hard decision, but then our emotions cloud our judgment and complicate things.

I had more written here but edited it. Perhaps at a later date I'll be more descriptive. In a nutshell: A person whom I love and loves me, well we might not be right for each other but I don't know. I've never wanted anyone more, but there's a "distance" factor and also, it's possible he could have an incurable disease...so yeah. Don't know what to do. Anyway, I'm tired/sleepy so more details perhaps to come.

rossroads. One path leads to a possible dark conclusion, but has a possibility for a happy ending, whereas the other path is safer, but could lead to a dead end. Which path do I choose? Hmmm...I suppose I could just not go down either path at all, but curiosity gets the better of me and I find I want to explore at least one path. I don't know, we'll see.

The path less taken?

*shrugs*

This bit of randomness is brought to you by Slade and Co.

Well sorry for that emo rant last night. I haven't experienced heartache like that but only once before in my life (I've had heartache and lovesick pain many times before, but only once that has hit me like this did), plus it was really late and I was tired as well, and etc etc.

So yeah, still hurting and feeling down, but at least I'm basking in the daylight. Blah.

...so much right now. *cries*

You sat there, next to me, in person. You looked into my eyes, you hugged me, and never once did I think those eyes could lie to me. But they did. They concealed a horrible truth from me. My worst fears were realized. Part of me wants to hate you, another still loves, and another chastizes myself for this happening again.

Guess it was nice while it lasted. I thought this was different.

MISSY HIGGINS

"Where I Stood"

I don't know what I've done
Or if I like what I've begun
But something told me to run
And honey you know me it's all or none

There were sounds in my head
LIttle voices whispering
That I should go and this should end
Oh and I found myself listening

'Cos I dont know who I am, who I am without you
All I know is that I should
And I don't know if I could stand another hand upon you
All I know is that I should
'Cos she will love you more than I could
She who dares to stand where I stood

See I thought love was black and white
That it was wrong or it was right
But you ain't leaving without a fight
And I think I am just as torn inside

'Cos I dont know who I am, who I am without you
All I know is that I should
And I don't know if I could stand another hand upon you
All I know is that I should
'Cos she will love you more than I could
She who dares to stand where I stood

And I won't be far from where you are if ever you should call
You meant more to me than anyone I ever loved at all
But you taught me how to trust myself and so I say to you
This is what I have to do

'Cos I dont know who I am, who I am without you
All I know is that I should
And I don't know if I could stand another hand upon you
All I know is that I should
'Cos she will love you more than I could
She who dares to stand where I stood
Oh, she who dares to stand where I stood

Well I can almost guarantee that I'll be updating this more often throughout the summer. So here's a quick recap of what's been going on, followed but a brief summation of what's to come, mixed with a little bit of present-day stocking/journal stuffers.

Past:

I have been working hard (or hardly working...har har) at making it through this semester. This year has certainly been an eye opener for me. So much as changed! Yet, as they say, so much has also stayed the same. I've become steeped in the furry fandom, made TONS of great new friends, got over my social anxiety in a lot of situations, came out, started going out with the most wonderful guy in the world, had a lot of first experiences, made plans to move into an apartment, made old friends into new ones, drudged my way through classes, and finally took my exams this week. That leads me to...

Present:

Today was the last exam I had (Astronomy). I didn't study for it, like at all, and I kinda wish I had. I figured I'd know most of the stuff because Astronomy is naturally interesting to me, yet is only a filler class. Ah well. I made it through the week and now am waiting on my grades to see how badly, er good, I did. I have also moved back to Flint for the summer. Hooray...I don't think it'll be too bad, but I'm a little concerned about finances and such. Time will tell I guess. I just need to make it to August. I hope I can survive that long, heh. I am dreading next semester though. I hear the Thermodynamics class is a make-or-break type class for my major, and MET students pretty much live in the MET lab from morning til 1 or 2am because of that class (and similar classes). I love my free time But at least I won't be up there alone I guess. Speaking of next semester...(gotta love segways)

Future:

I plan on making a couple of trips. One this Saturday to  scardykat85's sure-to-be-awesome graduation open house, then the May 10th furmeet in Ypsilanti. I am going to get to meet more awesome people that I've met from online (such as  nuka_nuki and maybe hopefully  moose_bmd ), and it's just going to be all around fun. I MUST take pics. This year is my "golden birthday" as Luke calls it, since I'm turning 24 on June 24th I don't have anything special planned since I can't afford anything, but I am assuming after the festivities with just the family, my Flint friends and I might hang out or do something afterwards. I'm gonna really be missing furries at this point, heh. Then when August finally rolls around, MONEY AND NEW APARTMENT. OMG I will be sooooo happy. I guarantee I will be using the full leasing date on that contract, from August 12th to June 10th. If I can some how manage it or find it, I'm going to try and stay in Mt. Pleasant or someplace nearby through the summer until the next leasing contract starts. So much going on this month as well. May has always been a busy month for my family and I, but now even more so for us. My older brother is having surgery next week to replace his knee cap(s) (he has rheumatoid arthritis so he hasn't been able to walk much or anything without being in real pain, hopefully though after the surgery and now that he is on the proper medication, he should be back to his b-ball playing self, we'll see), and I guess he's going to be staying with us for several weeks while he recovers. This puts pressure on ME to get a job because of the extra "mouth to feed" etc etc...meh v_v. I know I should be sympathetic and such, but there's a lot more to this than I'm willing to go into. Suffice it to say, it isn't very fair to make me have to work, even though I fully agree I should. I might be looking for a job anyway just to be out of the house more often. Then Mother's Day, then my dad has surgery for his nose (apparently the intense ER-sending migraine headaches he's been getting MIGHT be caused by a spur that has been lodged in his nose since childhood???), then my sister's birthday, then my parents' anniversary, then my grandfather is coming up to visit, then my cousin's open house in June. Not to mention as I said Kat's open house and the furmeet. Whew...tomorrow though I'm relaxing and hanging out with a friend of mine who lives in the area. A furry too! I'm happy to have a fur in the area I can hang out with and don't have to travel too far to go see.


Sooooooo yeah. That pretty much sums up everything thus far. Some other issues but more personal are going on right now, but needless to say my head is swimming. Both good and bad. As I said though, I'm going to be around the house more often now so as such it's greatly possible that I'll be updating more often. Anyway, hope everyone is having a great week, and to those with exams I wish you luck! Those who are done, WHOO HOO! I'm off to sleep land now. Goodnight and sweet dreams all!

How's it going?

Oooooooooooooook, so where to begin, hah. Needless to say this weekend rocked, epically and in more ways than one. Not only was it my first fur convention, but it was also a record-breaking one for having the most registrations/attendence for a first year (fur) con. So much fun and so many friends made.

Friday

So I wake up around 9am, get dressed, shower, talk to Kat online, and load up the truck. 2 hours later, I arrive at the Best Western. Immediately met up with Kat and them in the parking lot, went in, checked in with registration (since I pre-reg'd it didn't take any time at all) and met up with some more people. Got my stuff up to my room, met up with Bismarck (my roommate and a friend I made online), then headed down to the main atrium. We hung out there for awhile with the other furs and talked for awhile. My attention was divided from the crazy weather and the fact that I was at a furry convention, hehe. Went to the opening ceremonies around 1pm, then sat around for awhile some more until around 2pm, where I went to the dealers den and immediately got what I wanted for so long...a husky tail! hehe. I went up stairs and put it on immediately. I was sooo happy. I had my collar on as well. Pretty soon Luke, his mom and friend Morgan (Evangeline) got there. I went to the convention newbs discussion, then wandered around exploring a bit. There was a lot going on and all of them would be too boring/minute to put into an entry but suffice it to say I was not bored. I had plenty to do. Later that night was the Furry Variety Show, also funny and entertaining. A few of us went out to dinner that evening. By a few of us, I mean Luke, Evangeline, Echo, Sushikitten, and myself. We ended up at the bd's where the already drunk Echo got drunker. After he had come on to Eva and sushi, he realized that the "Mongolian King Men" had already "made them moist" (his words). So there was nothing he could do, lol. Lots more jokes and laughs were had by all. Then came the Friday Night Flailing which just won. Plain and simple. Laser lights + raving + fursuits = division of zero worth of fun. That's pretty impossible you might think, but then you'd be stupid. 'Course, the night wouldn't have been complete without the whole dance floor getting Rick Roll'd. Thanks a lot guys. ^_^


Saturday

Woke up around 10am to the knocking of the cleaning crew. Shortly thereafter more fur friends came by to wake me up though I was already up at that point. Got dressed, went downstairs, hung out for awhile in the atrium, then watched/taped the fursuit parade. Oh that was fun-tastic. Also later met up with Neurosiskitten and Nuclear Ninja. All of us hung out for awhile, had our sushi meet where we went up stairs, prepared the fixings for sushi, came downstairs to the main atrium, "set up shop" as it were, Sushikitten, Rhia, and Yuni started assembling the sushi rolls and taking orders, then the five of us (them, myself, and neurosiskitten) took everything upstairs where we cut it out. Later sushi was brought down and had by all. More fun ensued. I know I'm being vague here but really there's just too much to talk about and I'm just including the main bullet points as it were about the weekend. Later that night it was Uncle Kage's story hour, which was not only entertaining but hilarious. Followed shortly thereafter by 2, the Ranting Gryphon. After that, we (friends and I) wandered around for awhile through the gaming rooms and such until the Saturday Night Booty Shakin'. That, too, was epic. I believe Rick Rolling went on here as well later that night, though around 2:30am I had to call it quits, heh. I was exhausted and couldn't shake my "booty" anymore. DJ Oddy and DJ Rok make a pretty mean DJ Duo. Went back to my room, took a shower, went to bed exhausted and with hurting, but happy, legs.


Sunday

Oh Sunday...how terribly sad it was the day we had to leave. Woke up that morning, got dressed, went downstairs and hung out with everyone for several hours in the atrium, and then went to the 2 Sense Show Live. Afterwards, we hung out in the atrium and watched the Fursuit Olympics. That was pretty entertaining and fun. Talked with even more people. When that was over, we went to the closing ceremonies, and then packed up the truck and headed home. Kat and Eenyu got to Mt. Pleasant before Rok, Drake and I did, but nevertheless, it was an enjoyable ride home (albeit sobering and somewhat depressing to leave so many new found friends).

So, that about sums up the weekend in a nutshell. There was a lot more stuff going on but I don't have the energy to include every last detail. In total, there were about 372 attendees, and 57 fursuiters. Awesome sauce. And what would this entry be without pics and videos to accompany it? Incomplete, that's what! Also, if you have pics/vids from this weekend (especially those of me) I would very much like a copy, hehe. E-mail addy is: hurricane aaron at hotmail dot com (without the spaces, obviously)

Pictures:

Videos:

COMING SOON!!! (It would take awhile to upload them, not to mention I'm on a stupid bandwidth quota limit so I'll have to wait to upload them when I'm not on a restricted bandwidth system. Maybe tomorrow or Wednesday).

I can't even begin to talk about FCN this weekend. Completely and totally epic. I am exhausted from the dancing/raving and everything else going on, including the long drive home back to Mt. Pleasant, so I will have to give a full-detailed report tomorrow. This blue wolf/husky is extremely happy yet sad at the same time that the weekend is over. I won't be able to go to AC due to financial/job restrictions but I WILL definitely try to get to MFF.

Goodnight all ^_~ (oh and I also have a lot of pics and vids to share)

~Slade~

Hmmm, let's see here. I just got up about 45 minutes ago. It's Friday, just after noon, and I'm bored already. Yup, this is going to be a loooooooooooooong (cat) weekend. Sunday will be great. I'll get to see Luke. Other than that, not much else going on. Today's activities include showering, shaving, cleaning/dishes, maybe some homework, and all of that will take me as long as an hour. Maybe I'll play some PS2. Oh, and some groceries. Groceries are good.

So, besides this weekend, next weekend is the Indiana weather conference, I'm kinda geeked about that. I'm almost positive 70% of that enthusiasm is the car ride and the hotel party rather than the actual conference itself. The FOLLOWING weekend after that, is FCN. w00t! I definitely look forward to that. The dealer's den opens up at 2pm. THERE BETTER BE SOME HUSKY TAILS FOR SALE! XD

Other than that, um...not much else going on. I have two weekends after FCN before finals. I might go home during that four day weekend simply because my parents offered to pay for gas AND I need to take some, if not most, of my stuff home from the dorm. If other things happen to go on during the weekend, however, that warrant my attention perhaps I'll stay. There IS an AMS banquet that the Student Chapter of the AMS holds every year, this year on that weekend (that saturday) that I might go to. Guitar Hero, DDR, drinking, dancing, food...could be fun (I'm lame I know :-D ).

Anyway, that's all for now. Later.

I don't know why I'm doing this but boredom demands it:

It's simple, just set your media player to random and write down the first 15 songs that play (Disreagarding anything like "B minor Mass") and add "In my pants" to the end of each title. The results are Hilarious!!!

1)Mayberry in my pants - Rascal Flatts
2)Let Me Kiss You in my pants - Morrissey

Hey there. Wow two entries in one day, go me. Tired as all get out but I don't want to go to sleep just yet. I am eagerly anticipating summer but at the same time just feeling a little down. I'm not sure if this is the mood swing talking or not (no I'm not pregnant, heh) but things just don't seem to be clicking like I thought they were. One minute everything seems to be moving along nicely and the next I have no clue where I'm at (figuratively of course). Meh. This isn't to say I'm questioning where I am, just where I'm going (and ultimately who, if anyone, is going with me). blah blah blah, emo emo emo ^_^

So anyway, yeah. Fun filled week of school ahead. Can't wait. Couple of exams. Getting mixed signals from different people, the usual, lol. *shrugs*

Tomorrow I go out looking at some more apartments with a friend of mine. I thought we were done but apparently there are a few more he wanted to check out. Fine by me, they're closer to campus anyway. I just worry about their strict "no parties/no loud fun/no holes in the wall" policy. I'm not a huge party animal but I was kinda hoping to have some groups of friends come over from time to time and throw a little "soire" (better than what I was gonna use..."shindig", heh). Meh I'll cross that bridge when I get there...

Well...I SHOULD go to bed since I have class at 10am, and I already skipped this same class today. I shouldn't skip it tomorrow as well. Though I do know there's an exam on Thursday, and a review on Wed., and I know the material really well because I've taken this class before, lmao, so whether I actually get up for class or take the extra time to catch up on sleep...we'll see...haha

Goodnight and sweet dreams everyone.

Well Spring Break is coming to a close, and while I didn't get to go to a sunny, tropical climate this week, I wouldn't necessarily say my week was wasted either. I've been somewhat productive/active this week, though not as productive/active as I would have liked. Let's see, I visited a lot of friends and caught up on stuff going on at home. Unfortunately due to financial restraints not as many as I would have liked. Even forgot to see a couple of them last night XD

Saw a friend in Sterling Heights that came all the way from North Dakota for her Spring Break, hehe. That was fun and pretty cool. Saw another furiend that I never met before at the movies and dinner afterwards. That was a lot of fun, and I plan on doing that again when I get back into town. Yet another furiend for just something to eat. Then of course my regular friends. I didn't get to see a couple of them like I wanted to this week due to a couple of reasons but ah well, next time.

I am pretty happy to be going back up to my dorm, but I have to admit I kinda liked this being around the house doing what I wanted when I wanted without having to worry about school work or food or such, heh. Anyway, that's the way it goes. Only have another month and a half before the semester is over . Lots in between then to keep me busy. Easter weekend in a couple of weeks, I have a weather conference in Indiana coming up in a few weeks, and then FCN is the weekend after that! ^_^ THEN, only a couple of weeks after FCN is our extended 4-day weekend before finals week. Man this time is going to fly by. Or at least I hope so. I can't wait for summer and to be able to meet new people...one in particular but that's neither here nor there.

I had a weird dream last night. I mean my dreams usually consist of several different dreams throughout the night, but the one I remember is sitting in the back corner of a classroom, the lights are out except the light through the windows and the class is getting ready to watch a movie for some reason or another. Well me and two others (one is the vice president of our senior class in high school, the other I can't remember who that was) start singing "You Can Fly" from Peter Pan completely A Capella, Barbershop Quartet style, and in perfect harmony and pitch too! It was awesome, lol. When we finished everybody was stunned but then started clapping, and I was laughing hysterically. Moral? Either I really miss my days of being in A Capella/Barbershop Men's Ensemble's (singing for an audience in general), or I have to stop watching Barbershop Quartet youtube videos before bed, haha. Thing is I only consider myself to have a somewhat "ok" voice, but it really helps to have others singing the other parts of the song because it helps to "round out" the tone and melody.

SO ANYWHO, with all that said, I should probably get to packing. I have to leave shortly after dinner (whenever that may be) so I bid you all adieu. Good day, happy trails, and good luck

This is FurAffinity...maybe one of these days I'll get around to writing or poetry or something...
