Another post, another day

*if you read this post before when i had to cut it off short, I didn't decide to add another post, but just modified this one, sof if you scroll down you can continue from where you left off*

Greetings all!

Things have been going quite well for me since last I posted (well, last I actually posted a personal post). The main highlights are concerning my cosplay costume for this year. The costume is coming along quite nicely! I love it when things fall into place! The big news on the costume is that I have found the shoes that I want to use for it. These are the absolute perfect shoes! The only reason I haven't purchased them yet is because they are in an eBay auction. That is really what worries me the most. I want them so bad but I might not get them if the bidders take the price too high. But, I have a gut feeling on this one. I think I'll get them. The last time I had a feeling like this was when I was in the market for a new car. I just kinda knew, once I rode in the car I now own, that it would be mine. It was just a gut feeling. I'm having the same one about these shoes. I know I sound like a girl when I'm talking about shoes like this, but it really does excite me. Looking through the entire eBay listing for shoes every 5 days can get a bit tiresome.

Anyway, the next wonderful bit of news concerning the costume is the arrival of my scrubs. Amy, the wonderful genius that she is, suggested that I use scrubs for the pants and vest. It was a perfect idea! So, after finding some incredibly cheap scrubs online, they have finally come. And, as expected, they are going to work wonderfully! Oh happiness!

Now, for the next bit of awesome news concerning my life and it's more recent turns of events. I have finally found direct download sites for all the anime that I download weekly, with the exception of Naruto, but I'm not really searching too hard for that one. I'll wait until April when they start airing new eps from the manga. If you didn't already know, my school had blocked all other channels through which I obtained my weekly anime releases. All of them. Bittorrent, IRC, AIM transfer. All of that was blocked. But, direct downloads are not blocked. And, to find sources for all of these anime is so amazing I can't convey to you my excitement.

Now, not all is good in the world of me. David, one of my friends, is going through some very tough times right now. He and I had decided to go in on an apartment together last spring at the end of the semester. Well, when I decided to switch schools that obviously wasn't going to work out. So, he was left on the lease by himself. I felt so horrible about it, but what could I do? Anyway, he did eventually find another roommate, one of his friends from his high school named Matthew. This I had originally thought would be a good thing. It wasn't. Matthew has proven to be a complete and total bum. All he does all day is sit at his computer and play Neverwinter Nights. And, when he isn't doing that, he is watching anime. He doesn't have a job, he doesn't leave the apartment, and according to David, he doesn't really do any chores around the apartment either. So, because of that, his mother is the one footing his half of the bill for the apartment. Therefore, she has decided to stow some ex-con homeless dude she somehow became fond of in his apartment. And, since she is footing some of the bill, there is nothing David can do about it. On top of that, David has been ferrying this man around town to and from his job and to places like that. And (there seems to be a pattern of this word going on here) David himself is still searching for a job. He’s paying his bill on money that the university finally returned to him from his tuition payments. It’s a screwed up situation all around and just hearing about it pisses me off. I feel so sorry for him and in a way feel somewhat responsible for his predicament. It was after all me who abandoned him along with the apartment. I wish there was something I could do. Grrr….

Well, I figure I’ll go ahead and end on a happy note. My parents came up here to my school to visit me for Parent’s Weekend! How cool! I was glad seeing them again. Unfortunately, they didn’t bring my sister or dogs with them this time. When they came up for my birthday a couple weeks ago they brought my dogs along with them because the hotel they found allowed pets. Go figure. But, they couldn’t book that hotel for this trip so they had to leave the doggies in their “big boxes” (the kennel). It was a sad time for all involved.

That’s my life for now. As you know, things do change. They change fast. So, expect my next posting about my situation to be equally as filled with entertaining information! Sayonara!
