Well other than having to be dragged away from Drake kicking and screaming, I'd say the visit went well. Though exagerated I throughly did not want to leave that place and go back to my "school" after having nearly an hour long chat with one of the comp sci proffesors. I think I'm going to go cry at the fact that I have to spend another year in high school learning nothing and being bombarded with pointless projects and meanial tasks. I can tell you one thing. The day after the letter that says "congratulations, you're accepted" is going to be one sorry day for me giving a s**t about doing meanial tasks.
Though, the fact that the English Prof had three different versions of "the complete works of Shakespeare" has me wondering a little. You'd think one would be enough.
All in all, dropping out of school and going to college a year early just keeps seeming like a great idea. Too bad all the deadlines for the next fall semester have passed.
But, I still have two projects to complete, the last four chapters of the Scarlet 'I could not possibly be more descriptive' letter, and a math placement test to take so that I can actually learn calculus rather than put up with Doc Sonofabitch for an entire nother year.
And my girlfriend will be down in Flordia all week. sad
Though, you'd think that in four days of HBO, TNT, and USA I'd find a movie I hadn't seen before. No, in like the 20 something movies that were shown, I'd seen all of them, including the old war movies.
Other than that, my quest for a soviet flag continues.

Kraeela alicemae Jahoclave You know, I don't think it's a good thing when you almost laugh your a** off in front of a proffesor. He was talking about this class; how the internet has affected poetry. I think you can figure out why I nearly laughed my a** off. Haha, welcome back. Hope you enjoyed your spring break! I know mine went by much too fast. crying Spring Break... *dreams* Mine isn't in another week gonk I get one week off at easter and that's it gonk . Well, until the mid semester break in the middle of the year anyway. And now I need to find some balsa wood to make cubes for Thursday. Somehow I have to physically describe how point, line and plane work together to create space and volume neutral . I also have other random stuff due sometimes, and a 2500 word essay due in week 14. But I'm kind of looking forward to writing and researching that xd . I've always kind of liked art essays, which is wierd...

I wonder what would happen if you went in there and with a straight face proclaimed that volume is the wondeful product of God and none other.

*sits in a dark corner and covers head* Oh God, I hate depression. Sucks a**. Smilies don't do the feeling justice...[/indulgence of self pity]
The project is not done. I'll be writing Zim's prose. No word from Dev after that last pm. Twi says she'll email it to me, and it'll be here by tomorrow. That at least is a little more cheering.
^^ We might still be able to pull through, but at the worst it'll be delayed by maybe a day or so. Gah, that ain't good enough though. xp I'll try.

Ah, ye of little faith in the bullshit. Hell, in all practical terms of what I do, I bullshit. Computer problems, bullshit through them. Coding problems, bullshit it. Some other sort of problem, bullshit it. It's sort of like MacGyver, just with a hell of a lot less knowledge of what I'm doing. Cheer up, after all, tommorow could suck worse.

Tomorrow (or more specifically, the future in general) is what's going to suck worse. Not that any of you want to know my problems. Just a minor case of moving to another state. Not like I'm the only one.
^^ Besides, I'm slowling cheering up already. You're efforts help, so thanks for the thought. Not thinking about it helps, as do the things I love most.
Now to pm alice...

*skims over Jahoclave and Serieve's posts* Haha, aren't we a cheery bunch? wink Tomorrow's the BIG DAY so everyone better put on your happy shiny faces for publication! (And if you're gonna pout, at least, make it pretty! Hehe.)
Good news, staffies! Murraben just PMed me! Apparently, she's going to send in her seven sins creation tonight! Although, please continue to draw something for us as well, Kraeela! I think you can never have too much of a good thing. whee

Ack, silly me. Just saw your post in the 'zine projects thread, Kraeela! I shall add it to the draft, pronto. For the 'zine layout purposes, is it okay if I shrink the image into a thumbnail and link it to the original? Let me know!

How much do you think we should award the Murraben for submitting a picture? We can carry on this discussion in the gold account thread! I just wanted to get everyone's attention at HQ.

Ooh, just got an idea on how we can raise funds for money prizes! Maybe we can post an offer for advertisements in The Afterthought for writers, authors, or contest leaders who need a platform to have their voices heard. Ads can either go in The Watch or The Afterthought. I'm thinking 30g per line for The Watch since it's at the beginning of each issue, and 10g per line in The Afterthought since it's at the end. I don't know how successful we'll be since the Press is just a baby right now, but this could gain some momentum as we grow in popularity!

Kraeela *pats the Serieve* Where are you moving from and to where? Oh hush girl, I moved from one country that I lived in for 16 years to a country 23 hours away! 3nodding It's been good so far... Indeed, where? It seems everyone is moving lately. *feels like stuck mud, lol* Don't feel bad, Serieve, change is good for us every now and then! We'll always be here for you, hehe. Maybe we should start a thread for people to post their day and ramble about whatnot? It would be nice to get to know y'all better, especially since we're working together on the 'zine!
