The Good:

Sister starts applying for Stanford et. al soon (I say et. al. because she's a shoe-in everywhere else). I am proud of her but also very anxious.

Her Latin teacher asked me to be a chaperone for her class' Rome trip, and since it's all-expenses paid, flight included, I can split the ticket-price for my sister with my mom. So, Rome next year? Mayhaps.

Also got our tickets for Passion Pit in may. Hype.

Also, have a dedicated site now: http://www.eightbitsamurai.co I'll be learning a lot over the next few weeks whilst I take care of the thing. Learning SEO stuff.

The New Girl. We played Smash for a good two hours and it was super. She spiked my Toon Link, and subsequently spiked her way into my heart.

The Meh:

Learning SEO stuff. Something about it just feels icky.

THIS WEATHER GODDAMMIT. I need new arch supports, which means my boots are killing me until I get some. Curse these flat-feet. And it's so dry, why is Colorado so dry.

Didn't get the internship I applied for. I'm not too worried about it, though. The job I have now is worth an internship and a half, and the stuff I do actually impacts the school as opposed to running around giving people coffee or whatever. But it woulda been a nice badge to add to the resume. I'll keep lookin.

The Bad:

The Roommate Saga

I think I've mentioned the intense hatred I happen to have for the apartment I currently live in and the roommates I currently live with but I don't think I've ever elaborated on it. I come from a very clean household, meaning...well, just take a look at some pictures:

"Washed dishes"

"This, is bananas, b-a-n-a-n-a-s"

"It's cool, I didn't need to use it anyways."

Beyond this, I've basically had to hoard all of my supplies under my bed after they ran out of toilet paper, and, rather than get more, decided to use my $20 kitchen paper instead. Simultaneously almost clogging the toilet. And this doesn't even include the part where they refuse to buy or clean anything.

In any case. I'm trying to get my own place soon. The exceeded price would be worth the mental soundness.

Edit: Forgot that I've been playing with rasterization and paint brush textures to create fancy portraits. Who's this sexy man I see in the computer screen?
