My last day of subscription...

Anyhoo, I had a great Easter. (Especially for it not being my holiday to celebrate, I guess?) I finished a "revisionist history" book on Mary Magdalene, which I thought would be really funny but was simply infuriatingly stupid. It turned funny again by the end of it. How could it not? The author reverently quoted both Martin Bernal (who theorizes that every great ancient Greek leader was black) and Graham Hancock (who theorizes that the ancient Egyptian pyramids were built by aliens). Gotta love it.

Nick's mom made me an Easter basket, too, which was awesome. My mom hasn't made anyone an Easter basket since Phil stopped caring about the Easter Bunny. (I shall go cry to myself in the corner.) So now I'm stuffiing my face with sugar at eight in the morning. Mmmm...

Just had a long (two hours!) discussion with my dad about the college problem. *sigh* I was really hoping NOT to talk about it while he's here, but we did, and I guess I feel a little better about the whole situation.

I won't descend into my college diatribe, because I do that way too much.

What it boils down to is this:

-Brown - $42,303/yr. and I haven't been accepted yet.
-Chicago - $43,570/yr. and I haven't been accepted yet.
- SUNY Potsdam - approx. $15,000/yr. They accepted me as soon as I applied and immediately offered me a scholarship.

I just wish I were pragmatic enough to see things completely in that light.

But in any case, this helped to cheer me up. [link]

Easter break has begun! W00t! Time for me to kick back, relax, and avoid my comic book at all costs.

Check this out: The Sound of Ancient Greek. [link] Probably sounds really dorky to anyone but me, but it's funnier than hell to listen to. I shouldn't be talking, for my pronunciation is horrible and this is what I should be striving for...but it reminds me vaguely of the Swedish chef, the way the pitch jumps up and down.

PS - Please please please give me some feedback on my story Average Five. [link] It would mean a LOT to me.

I don't know why, but I'm in a disturbingly good mood today. Really disturbingly. I woke up today singing to myself. In Japanese. I don't know the first thing about Japanese!!

*sigh*

Hopefully, I'll post a little bit of writing this weekend. I have a lot of little things that I've written over the past week and just threw aside for the moment. Also, there's that story I've been working on slowly since, like, December. I'd like some feedback on it, but I'm not entirely willing to post it: some of the characters bear very obvious similiarities to the people around me. Everything's like that anymore... The protagonist for my APart comic book looks exactly like my brother.

Curse you, Nick Lockhart and the fact that you were the only person around when I needed some reference images!

(Since I have to specify. )

I'm trying my best not to indulge in paranoiac wondering about the future.

But besides that whole mess, today is six months for me & Nick - half a year!!
