Are we using the blog again? I was shocked to see recent posts
Well it's been so long since I've heard anyhting from everyone in new york: Twill, Rubin and(Polar bear girl) sorry i forget the name offhand....are u excited that you're finally in third year...not taking anoying prereq courses?!....nervous about being done your udergrad or do u have the next 5 years already planned out?
Can't WAIT for x-mas! I can't wait to finally eat more than a boiled egg for dinner!
Classes here rock. I'm looking for another place to move into cuz i essentially got asked to get out of my current apartment....the joys of living on your own under someone else's house!
Plus it'll be good to finally be free of the roaches and mice....big rats the size of cats...or the same volume as one of those fluffy gerbels.
ooh....are any of u into graphic novels? I'm looking for some inspiration so i can illustrate my own based on a thriller i'm reading right now. So what are your favs? The library is full of animae and manga ro whatev, so that would work too.
Lova y'all

3 letters...just like my real name. :P
Awww, have some steak with that boiled egg! And some wine! Do you know when you're coming back yet? And ew, rats the size of cats! How many did your apartment have? And how is New York? FAME! Do you wanna live forever? Are you learning how to fly? FAME!
This year's better than last year...I'm trying out some new things and I'm actually cooking stuff...stuff that isn't just instant noodles. D:
Still, looking forward to getting the hell out of here and going back to Cowtown.
Nyx, I'm glad to hear it's better this time around! I still recall that talk we had, and it was depressing for both of us! Keep at it! :D
Scorpio, glad to hear things are going so well in NYC! What are your impressions on your status? You mentioned this was like a screening before they decide they actually want to invite someone to attend the school for real. Are you wowing them like I think you are?
And seriously, as a graphic novel...I must recommend what Amy recommended to me long ago that I recently just finished, The Sandman. It's not the cheesy superhero Sandman--it's deep, philosophical/existential, dark, and mature. Some of those stories...I don't think I'll ever forget.
They're not terribly violent, but very atmospheric. I'm very glad to have read it--its name is legendary among graphic novels, and won oodles of awards back in the day (and caused an uproar among literary snobs when it snatched literature merits as well, being "a comic book"). But in terms of the artwork...it varies. It was groundbreaking because the art is very loose and expressive rather than perfect airbrushed comic book images, and the roster of artists always switches. Altogether, the series is collected in 10 volumes.
