Holy freaking crap...the internet...is AWESOME. And now that I have a debit card I can personally experience the magic of internet shopping. Oh my gosh...do you know how awesome it is to go through the shoes on Amazon.com and put items in the wish list WITH THE ABILITY TO BUY THEM WHEN I ACTUALLY GET SOME MONEY?! It's awesome...Ive bought only like...three super cheap things online and well...it's awesome because I love to shop and this way it takes only minutes. Although I absolutely love walking around in stores so there's no way Im going to give that up. But with my lack of transportation other than the public kind plus my two feet, plus the upcoming fall and winter weather (in upstate NY mind you) um...that will come in handy very much so if I do say myself. YAY! Now...the downside to discovering the joy of another way of shopping...I NEED TO FIND A FREAKIN JOB!!! You know you never really realize just how fast money goes when you live on your own and crap you know? And I am no moocher so...I need my own money, I refuse to become one of those art students who has their parents wire them money every five seconds so they can go do crap. I will sacrifice, I will make my own money, and I will hopefully still be able to enjoy my world of shopping. Not to mention I really need another jacket and/or winter coat. Looks like Im going to be hitting up the Salvation Army soon. And I really need to freakin call the bus system so i can figure out the times and how to get to the mall and other places. Sure they have a map on their website but uh...it really sucks and their shit is written in a suuuuper confusing way lol. Why couldnt I have been born rich? Actually...now that I think about it I think Im better suited for this kind of life. I like earning my own shit and knowing that I put in actual work for the crap I get you know? I am an independent woman I am. I find that when I ofter go places alone here and yeah they give us the whole "buddy system" talk but I know how to handle myself and Ive always been super independent when it comes to stuff like oh I dont know...doing the necessary crap in order to LIVE. Anyway, Ive been here a month and I think Im finally warming up to the people because my stupid wall that I put up has been slowly being chopped down and Ive been able to talk to people more and you know...I feel that I have some potential "hang out" friends other than my one roommate I spend a good majority of my time with. And you know she's starting to get on my nerves a bit. I have two roommates, one that is never in the room hardly except to sleep (O) and the one I hang with/am followed around by (B). I mean you know she's cool and all, or at least she was at first, but lately I dunno. I guess her parents are like...rich and she you know has had a nice life and junk except supposedly they "cut her off" when she got a job. But still you can tell she's a bit spoiled. She complains A LOT. It's almost like nothing is good enough for her. And well...you can tell she was sheltered from a lot of other things. She comes to ART SCHOOL and constantly talks about things being "weird" and "loud" and all the other expected things that go on at art school. Like I dunno...I need a weird environment to be comfortable because that's how I am and I feel like Ive been toning it down since I got here (weird right?). I know I need to start hanging out with more people. Oh and she's kinda lazy andI think it's been having a bad effect on me lol. I walk EVERYWHERE where I come from and if we walk like fifteen minutes she's like "oh my gosh all this walking". And my school has another campus in Brooklyn where we can transfer after two years where I am and she DOESNT WANT TO GO. It's friggin Brooklyn in NYC you'd think that EVERYONE would be jumping at the chance but apparently she thinks the city is too far from home or something. Um...Im trying to get as far away from home as possible. And well Ive done a pretty good job really. Actually when I move to Brooklyn I'll be I think three hours closer to home lol. But I dont care im no where near Ohio anymore. Stupid crap ghetto city Im from...it's so much more if not just as harsh as the neighborhood the campus is on/around and I guess Im just use to the crap that happens or I know how to handle myself if shit happens you know? But B? No way...she's always commenting on "shady" stuff or something like that. Like Im use to loud bitches yellin at they baby daddies and shit you know? Lol I think it's kinda funny actually seeing her react to shit. Poo poo this is a long post. Hmm...cool. Ive noticed that my art has been getting better and Ive been getting better reviews on my stuff too yay! And Ive been getting inspired to do side projects on my own time. Im currently working on a collage with a bunch of random crap I took from magazines and my re-occuring "lip ladies" (I'll post few work in progress pics) and Im thinking next I'll have to make a trip to Salvo cos I want to do a Massacred Barbie mobile...or maybe zombie barbie mobile...some kind of mobile with jacked up barbies is all I know. Anyway...Im gonna go back to wish listing and perhaps help-wanted surfing :D
