I guess its about freakin' 'time, eh?
Well, geez...where to start huh? There have been several reasons why I haven't really felt inclined to post in the last few months. Ya know, being busy, not really sure what to say...not really sure anymore how many of you actually care. I know I havne't been around all that much, some of you have shiney new friends thus dropping the old ones, and frankly, I just started to give up. But I would like to clarify one thing. Just because *I* don't post, doesn't mean that I'm not interested in what *YOU* have to say. I do read all your journals on a regular basis, but as of late, I'm finding any time I post a reply, I get no response back. From anyone. Good way to make me feel like I'm still wanted. Thanks guys. [/sarcasm]

Anyway, on to real world news. New job. Several of you know by now that I was FIRED from Movie Gallery, so I won't get into that unless you ask. Anyway, I know work in the Leisure department of Superstore (kinda like Canada's equivalent to Wal*Mart) which isn't so bad. Stocking shelves and not having to deal with so many people is a good thing for my sanity, what little there is left. I've only been there for five months, but I'm now third down the chain. There's only one person between me and the supervisor. Meaning that I get a shitload of hours, albeit at 8 in the morning which is kinda new to me. I like it though. So its all good.

Erm....typing hurts like a bitch in my right wrist now. All that painting I've done for costumes in the past (Wedding!Seishirou, multiple incarnations of Sakura, Setsuka, Kilik, Seung Mina, Dragon Jackets, etc) have finally caught up with me in the form of Tendonitis or Carpal Tunnel, one of the two. Either way, it requires me to wear a brace which greatly impedes my ability to do ANYTHING, including work, type, draw. So of course, I barely wear the damn thing. >.> I prolly should be good, but I just can't DO anything when I wear it. Really though, my wrist isn't all THAT bad........I hope. I've yet to see a doctor for offical diagnosis. I kinda don't really WANT to see one.

In other happier news. The time seems to have finally come for me. Final results will be known this Tuesday, but there is a good chance I'll finally be going back to school. In Vancouver. O.o Scary scary vancouver. Well, Burnaby, but still. Art Institute of Vancouver called me back after I was literally pushed towards their booth at Anime Evolution, and I have a two hour interview over the phone with them on Tuesday. I'm nervous as all hell, but excited at the same time. I can't decide if I want to go into the traditional animation side, or the game design aspect. I love just designing characters, but I really really want to see my work come to life. Most likely I'll go with animation, and afterwards if I feel inclined, I'll also take the design. The course is only a year and a half, so its' not too bad, and they'd help with job placement afterwards. From what Mike (my interviewer) told me, sometimes companies just come in even if you're only three months into the program and hand select about 5 people. He seemed really positive that I can get in, but I'm still just a little worried. I can't help it. School. Me. It's been, what...7 years since I've been. And having to move off my little island to Burnaby, away from everyone, friends, family....its a huge step. I know I could do it if I had to, but I don't like the idea of having NOONE around. Sure my Brother lives in Burnaby, and Cocoa is there, but I don't know how close we'd be to each other, or for how long. I mean, it wont' be until NEXT September that I'd be going......its just nerve wracking. I know I shouldn't think about it all that much, especially when I don't know for sure whether or not I'm in. *Crosses fingers* wish me luck on Tuesday.
