Hey. Been a good long time. Things have changed. Again. Sorry I haven't been replying to anyone. I've been reading, at least.

First of all:

• PLURKPLURKPLURK : This is my new LJ. I have filters here for private groups and it's basically an interactive LJ for me now. You can join/add me HERE.



• Moving again : Yeah, yeah. Financially speaking, I'm in a horrific place right now. I can't scrounge enough money up for SCAD without dipping into private loans, which, with my credit, are going to be impossible for me to maintain, let alone receive. So, despite all the shit I went through to get down here, including the process of losing Eames, my car... I'm giving up on SCAD.



• Job : I did get a job since my last entry at Sears. Been doing alright. I'm going to try and see if I can transfer with them when I relocate, though I'm not sure how that would work. Speaking of where I'm going...



• Indiana : Sounds random, doesn't it? Well, I guess not, if you've been around me for awhile. I'm moving in with Jake, friend of about 12-13 years now. My expenses with him would drop immensely and give me time to pay off some of my student loans as well as get back on my feet. I'd like to try and get a car again while I'm there, so we'll see how it all goes. If I bomb there, too, my mother has offered me a place to stay with her when she moves into their new house. Either way, I should be alright for a bit.



• So, school : Considering two places: IUPUI in Indiana has a fantastic Creative Writing major in their English department. It actually gives me the option to avoid poetry as much as I can, which I enjoy. It looks like a nice, solid degree.
  The other option is Full Sail, the career/vocational school. Yeeeeah. Has a bad reputation here and there, honestly, but despite that, it has so many fantastic fucking classes that are so specific that I don't think I can really fail to not learn from them. There's a class specifically for writing for video games. Uhm, fuck yes? I looked into FS back when I was 18 for game design but didn't go through with it. I think I might give them another shot. Plus, the school is online, so even if I move, I don't have to give it up, and that's reassuring.



• Emotionally Speaking : lol, fucking train wreck. I've been smashing the self-loathing button on and off so much to a point I don't want to fucking do anything with anyone until I stop being an asshole.



• LJRP : Despite the last bit there, I am finally giving LJRP a shot. As who, you ask? Who the fuck else am I playing? clochesommelier fucking sobs.

Okay, bye for now.

Good things and bad things today. Let's get to the good.

• Accepted into SCAD : Got an e-mail and phone call today saying I'd been accepted into SCAD with a $2,000 scholarship attached. Neat. I just need to submit my portfolio to try and qualify for an artistic scholarship now, but I'm not getting my hopes up for that one.


• T-mobile & other job interviews : I had an interview with T-mobile yesterday and am up for a second interview, which they've yet to schedule. Friday, I have an interview with Sears to be a cashier, which is fine, too. Funnily enough, the two locations are right across the road from one another. Whoever hires me first, wins. On the topic of jobs, though, my little online part-time job has $100 coming at me tomorrow. The guy was in the hospital and fell off the grid for a bit, but he's back now, so I'm going to keep that job, too.

Yeah, that's about it for right now.

Bad.

Oh! A Multi-Fandom Plurk Friending Meme!

First of all: Plurk!

But don't forget: Pimp it out!

Edit: Hopefully fixed that screening nonsense. Sorry!

I need something of an opinion. I know a lot of you make your own cosplays so it might be hard for you to gauge, but in U.S. Dollars, what would you say is the estimate cost for a cosplay to be made with proper clothing materials? Like something you could probably even wear every once in awhile as opposed to just for a con?

I've been on and off considering cosplaying Touya (Pokemon B/W) which would require his outfit, hat, and shoulder bag. I'd like to start going to cons again one day and my hair is in perfect form right now to cosplay him so I wouldn't even need a wig. (YESSSS. I hate wigs.)

But yeah. There is this website that makes the clothing custom but I don't know if I can even trust it? And it would be like $220 for everything, but I have no idea what it would even look like when finished. (CosplayHouse? I'm getting mixed reviews, mostly negative. Also if you could recommend anyone that makes quality cosplay without being a Destroyer of Banks, please recommend. ;u; )

So.. help? ;; This is mostly for future reference. I can't even afford cons/outfits right now. XD;

If a friend comes to you/you go to a friend after not speaking for awhile when you/your friend makes it clear something is wrong with them at the moment, and you think that's a bad thing?





Carry on!

Edit: Yes, this is related to my last entry, too, among other scenarios for the past couple years.

Today I will do "favorites".

( Days 6, 11, and 18 )

Tonight sucked. I want the last eight hours of my life back.

( What is done/remains )

Doing all the days that require more of a list for an answer than specific details.

( Days 7-9, 13, 19-21, 24, and 26 )

That's all!
