1:20 pm	November is always a busy month Livejournal must really be something as it's the only social-networking-type deal-ie I haven't abandoned flat-out. I had a twitter account for about a week before I got tired of it, had a facebook for a year before I didn't feel like figuring out the stupid front page anymore, I had a myspace but it was only to troll someone and I even had a Jott, which many of may not recognize as it was mostly what twitter is now. Just a random thought, really, nothing important. Also, apparently, if I don't log into LiveJournal I miss everything. I should probably tick the little box that says "remember my password". Life has been weird lately, my motivation has been dipping, diving, slipping, and shooting back up at random times throughout the day. Luckily, when I do get the motivation, I manage to get a shit-ton finished. It's just very disconcerting to be sitting around on a weekend and feeling as if I couldn't work up the motivation to lift my little finger and I blame this partially on my inability to self-motivate myself into action. Sure, I can reason with myself, see the error in what I'm doing, know that I should be working or going out but I just will not follow through. Not all is unhappy, though. I've been working 30hrs a week along with my classes and damn does it make a difference in my overall mood. Not having to worry about money is a real pick-me-upper (as if that weren't obvious). The surprising thing is my ability to work for 30 hours + go to class and still derive more personal gain than if I have no paid work but more time to do my class work. Maybe it's just me, but I think that it's BS what they told me when I came to college: "you shouldn't work while in college, focus on your studies". Looking forward to coming home soon too, the holidays make for a good break. I just wonder how long I'll have at home seeing as how my job doesn't allow me to have the entire month or so I get off of classes. I might push for 2 or 3 weeks since things will be slow and my co-worker probably wants the extra hours anyway as he needs the cash. I haven't been that active in the furry community around here; I'm living with a furry but him and I tend to have opposing schedules. Inc works in the evenings and on Saturdays. I work mornings to evenings and not on weekends so we tend to see one another only when I'm about to sleep. Then again, I never did get really active with the Ohio furries except for those few that I've met over the last 3 years, a couple of which I hardly ever see (to no fault of their own, I haven't made much of an effort.) Perhaps we should have an apartment party or something. If you've gotten this far then thanks for reading, I haven't made a big post in a while. That is really all for now, I'm kind of avoiding work right now :X ARTWHORING Oh, Yakitate had this done for us: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3012633 /ARTWHORING Current Mood: procrastinating (9 Comments |Comment on this)

9:56 pm	Essay Exams I have one gripe with essay exams: I can't write very well and, in fact, I type much much faster than I can write. It only makes sense for me to type my essays up due to the fact that the professor is more likely to be able to read what I can say -aaaannnnddd- I can type them up faster which means that I will do better on the exam. I've always had this itch when a professor says we will have to write an essay for our exams; an itch that makes me want to ask them "Well can I bring my computer in and type it? Then I can send it to your or something" because that is how I feel! Bah, up until now I haven't had any huge issues with professors reading my writing. But I still fear that day will come x.x Current Mood: productive (1 Comment |Comment on this)

2:22 am	One thing or the other. If there's anything I've learned from having a home in two places it's that you're always making hard choices on how you spend your time when you're at either. There're always people you'd like to see, or who'd like to see you, that you would enjoy spending time with but sometimes there just isn't enough time to get to everyone. Makes me feel bad sometimes, especially when I'm even hesitant to tell people that I'm in one place or the other for fear of them feeling badly about us not getting time to hang out. Hopefully my finances stabilize themselves finally after having a shakey time last year and I will be able to make trips more frequently. In other news, it seems as if this year is going to be another free ride for me at school. I'm extremely happy with the money I've received for my classes, I've certainly been very blessed :) Current Mood: okay (1 Comment |Comment on this)

7:52 am	Things Lots of stuff has happened in the last month. Many good, some bad. AC was awesome,I don't really feel up to details, but I was glad to see everyone that I did. Lately the mundane work schedule has set in and I'm settled into a pattern for my mornings and evenings. It kind of sucks, and I get the feeling that it's what's causing me to be a bit moody lately. Not sure what I'll do about it, or what I can do about it because of a certain issue I'm having, but I guess I'll keep mulling over it until I naturally work my way out of the funk or figure out something I want to do that will make me feel less worthless. I might just go back to Ann Arbor this weekend as long as my moneys hold up. That'd be nice. We'll see. Current Mood: awake (Comment on this)

11:19 pm	Yakitate has arrived! Today Yakitate arrived and is now settled into my apartment for a few days :D. Today we took a tour of the campus, ate at el campesinos (he didn't like their food, he's an elitist when it comes to mexican food although the chile relleno they had was indeed disgusting.) Anyway, I look forward to what we do tomorrow because he has been very fun so far. (Comment on this)

8:15 pm	Congrats to my brother for graduating from highschool. Looking forward to Anthrocon this year, a big part of it has to do with Yakitate coming over :). I'm also excited because I'm only 1 hour and 30 minutes away from the hotel this time, which feels good because I hate long car trips. Odarious and Dagarim will also be coming with me, and Dagarim isn't really a furry so he will have some surprises to look forward to (What do I get if I pull someone into the fandom?),this will be Odarious' first Anthrocon. Life is going semi-smoothly, money will be tight until around August but I've become used to it as of late. I was awarded the STEM scholarship once again, and along with several grants and other scholarships I've managed to lump up a rather large sum of free money which makes me happy. Now if only they'd give me some of that to use on personal things... Current Mood: calm (3 Comments |Comment on this)

9:59 am	End of the weekend A 4 year old told me that she was going to "Kick me in the balls" while I was at the graveyward on memorial day. I hit a deer driving back to Kent and still have my car to drive around. Thank God. Other than that it was a fairy fun memorial day weekend! (3 Comments |Comment on this)

1:32 am	Description. I said I would post this but it took me like 2 weeks to get around to it. Jevin is a wolf, his form almost completely naked except for a pair of pants hanging from his hips and moving down over his feet, covering his paws partially, perhaps long enough to get in the way of his step on occasion. He has a light shade of cream fur that travels around his eyes, over his cheeks and under his muzzle as well as brown fur that seems sandwiched between the gray and cream above his eyes where his eyebrows would be if he had any. The tips of his ears, fingers, toes, and tail are all brown and his build seems average, the wolf having a small amount of pudge but also seeming powerful enough in his physique, like someone who has labored but doesn't labor or work out all of the time. He has five fingers and four toes orange irises and atop his head is no hair but the same color of silver-gray fur that covers most of his body. To go along with the pants he is wearing, blue in color, he wears a collar with the name 'Yakitate' embroidered in black on the collar, the name usually found just above his shoulder as his collar is worn lopsided, the clasp resting on the shoulder opposite. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2304411 - and I'm whoring my drawings around too. It contains Macro and Paws, what else would you expect? Also, my grades are in and I received 2 As, a B+ and a B for a total semester GPA of 3.58. I'm happy with that! And now I'm out of classes so I can enjoy myself for a bit (and hopefully finally have some money!) Current Mood: accomplished (6 Comments |Comment on this)

10:03 pm	Homesickliness. Being at college out of state has helped me a lot with developing a sense of uniqueness for myself and escaping some of the things that weighed very heavily on me when I was in high school. When I think about it, I'm happy I did it. There are a few drawbacks, however, and one of them is that I don't get to socialize with the friends I have in Michigan all that much. You'd think this would be like any other friendship that is held over long distances, but it isn't for some reason, and it's not that they're less important but moreso because I'm used to them being far away. Although I do have people to hang around with here I can't help but have moments where I wish I were back in Michigan so I could pay a visit to a few people. You could say that I should just drive home and visit, and you'd be right except for the whole gas money thing. Luckily, my current job is much more stable than my last and I should have green pieces of paper in my wallet soon, which will certainly help. I suppose that, even after doing this for 3 years, I still get a bit homesick. I hope to be returning to Michigan in June for a week and a few days and so I'll have to try to abate myself until then. There is also Anthrocon, and you all had better be going :P. P.S. Updating more now, we'll see how long this lasts >.> Current Mood: I still have finals tomorrow.. (4 Comments |Comment on this)
9:14 am	It may be time to retire this avatar of mine. I've had it for a long time and it is the first sketch of my character I ever received. It's old, though, and it doesn't even really look like Jevin >.>. Thinks it's times to find a new one. (2 Comments |Comment on this)

10:38 pm	Final exam time. As a computer scientist I demand that you all continue forking children only to watch them terminate themselves moments later (else you can always abort children if they're not suiciding themselves as they were instructed to). This is the way of the computer. Current Mood: Studystudy (Comment on this)

12:04 am	It seems like companies that serve up the internet are getting antsier everyday. Trying to rid us of net neutrality first and now bandwidth caps? Bleh. God forbid. Someone put these guys on a leash and hold them close. No telling what they'll try next. (4 Comments |Comment on this)

12:54 am	I wish I knew the answer but for once I can't tell whether I'm warping that answer into an answer I can deal with or if, perhaps, it's everyone else doing it. I can't help but feel I'll falter. Ever since I was 15 I've searched for the answer, thinking I had it and then finding that there is another dynamic that I can't account for. It's not until now that I find that I need to find this answer, not only for myself, but for someone else. My family will point me in the direction of the answer but all I'll see is ambiguity and darkness. Is it because I don't want to see the answer? Or is it because this, like far too many things, has more than one? How many more questions will I think of before this recurrsion ends? Current Mood: Unsure (2 Comments |Comment on this)

9:20 pm	Birthday post. Upon seeing that I have made it another year, my 21st year on this earth, the law decided to allow me to take part in practices that could be hazardous to my health (as a way of insuring itself that I wouldn't be alive much longer). So now I can drink alcohol legally. Don't worry, I don't plan to be killed anytime soon and certainly not because of my own drinking :) Current Mood: accomplished (5 Comments |Comment on this)
