In space

This is a decent approximation of my friends.  I apologize that there are a few inside jokes, which I know can be a pain, but I'm really just hoping to build character for these people for future comics I may draw for MSJAR (this will hopefully be posted on MSJAR anyway, I worked hard on it!)  Daniel's's the TF2 guy, Aaron's the picky candy guy (I have a bowl of free candy in my dorm, and he always complains that I mix skittles and M&Ms, sheesh) and I'm the one drifting to my doom.  Take it with my compliments.

Here it comes

It's nearing the end of the term here (summer term is a shorter one) and I still feel like I need to do something more to get used to it all.  I have no idea what it is.  My suspicion is that sometime in the near future I'm going to have a brief relapse in which I get really homesick and irritable which makes for a bad week or maybe just a day.  I mean, I've had a few rough days (who doesn't?) but nothing that put me off what was going on.  It's my theory that that will happen sometime soon, there will probably be a trigger event of some sort.
I'm not resigned to this, maybe I'll just adjust like a normal person and I'm worrying over nothing.  That'd be nice, though I think I might still prepare for it (not sure how).
On a lighter note, I'm almost done with Summer term!  The dull classes will be replaced by hopefully less dull ones!  I'm also in two dance classes (ballroom and intro to tap) mostly because I like to legitimately dance and frankly it might be a good place to meet people with similar interests.  Girl people.  Am I a single-minded genius or what?

Some art

Let me explain.  The comic which I said I might be taking over for is at myskinnyjeansarered.blogspot.com and this is one of the guest strips I've done, but I put it here because I wanted to and I found out how to edit contrast on a Macbook now, so I'm happy.  It's a journal style of comic (at least it is when Aaron writes it) so humor is not always the first goal.  Oh well, maybe I can attempt to fix that.

List of Epicness

I used to sing and act in musicals in my high school days (so not very long ago at all).  Despite the many speculations that I was homosexual because I had to prance sometimes and wear stage makeup, I quite enjoyed the experiences.  Also, I enjoy watching musicals and listening to their soundtracks, and have settled on a few that I would absolutely love to be in, as well as the character I would want to be (though I did limit myself a little based on how well I might fit the part).
Les Miserables: Enjolras, because after hearing him sing, I would go die by him in a barricade!  (Realistically, I think I might be a better part for his drinking friend, but this is just a dream anyhow.)
Fiddler on the Rood: Perchik, he's got good songs and the lines of a rebel.  Though for a second choice, I would gladly play the Russian who sings the solo in "To Life".
Wicked: Boq.  Poooooooor Boq.  I would definitely be a good actor for Boq.
Phantom of the Opera: I don't think I could pull off the phantom (awesome as that would be) and I certainly wouldn't want to be Raoul, but I think I would enjoy playing Andre or Firmin (the managers).
Bye Bye Birdie: This is a rather light-hearted show which I would crave the lead role of Albert (again, as I did this show in High School s Albert).  His songs are good and he's a semi-crazed person which I think I could act as pretty well.  (Might not even have to act)
Sweeney Todd:  Don't get me wrong, this show isn't my favorite as I'm not a fan of the carnage and ideals (and I sorta distrust anyone who is a fan of the ideals) but the music is such that I think I would like to play Anthony.  He's one of the only male characters who doesn't die or assist in murder.  I guess I might also like playing the simple Toby.

I would, however, trade any of these roles for a steady part in the Doctor Who TV series.  Undoubtedly.

Here I am

Been at this family reunion since Friday, it's pretty fun, though I'll be back at school on Monday for classes.  It's kinda nice to only have to drive four hours to get to my Grandma's house instead of 25...
On a sort of related note, this part of southern Utah is about 1200 feet higher than the valley Provo is which is actually pretty inconvenient because I have to go through minor altitude sickness again.  The migraines can be pretty horrible (which the many hours on the Wii with my brothers hasn't helped) but I can't say I haven't been there before sadly enough.  Thank heavens for pain killers!  Now what they need to make is pain annihilators... that aren't marijuana based...
So I normally don't like to reference Facebook in this because then I might have to admit to myself that I'm addicted, but I noticed today that it's got a even better way to creep (which I actually don't do that much) which is the "view friendship" button.  It basically just shows all the interactions and things you have in common with whomever you choose to view with.  I did it with a very old friend of mine and frankly got a bit nostalgic.  Not gonna lie, this college thing/my life will never be the same thing, is really taking its time to sink in.  Good thing I have some friends here otherwise I probably would be doing a lot worse.  The one thing I refuse to do is wash out.  I WON'T!
(Still haven't met any women, like literally the only females I've conversed with in the last few weeks have been related to me.)

I finished The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time...  I've wanted to do that since I was very young...
A dream came true today

Mmhmm...

Yes hello, are you there?  I hope all's going well with your life.  Are your endeavors paying of?  Are you following your dreams and fighting adversity?  Don't let someone else decide your life y'know.  Otherwise you might not get to where you want to be.
Has your life so far been easy?  Or has it been difficult?  No matter what, someone has it better and someone has it worse.  Such is life.
How was your day today?  If it's early in the day, then how was your evening yesterday?  I do so hope it went well.  Seriously, I do.  I might not even know you, but I hope you are having a good life.
...
Well anyways, I had a decent day yesterday too I think.  I put the final nail in my social coffin by putting together a Dungeons and Dragons character.  (Well I guess I'll have my D&D group)  Is that a turn on to any girls out there?  Just checkin'.  I've been getting more into comic-y art lately, and I might post some up. Also, I have a friend who's running a sort of comic/journal thing on his blog which has quite a few followers which I do guest strips for occasionally.  I don't think they're posted yet, but they will soonish.  It's at myskinnyjeansarered.blogspot.com for your knowledge.  Also, the author is going on his mission soon and is leaving the blog and comics with me and a couple other friends so the artwork will not be as good, but might have a good element of humor, I don't know.
Oh, Harry Potter tonight.  I've been there from beginning to end!

Just generic whining again

         I don't dislike social interaction.  I mean, I may not be the socialest of butterflies, but I'm no antisocial.  That is, I don't want to be.  Hanging out with people is something I enjoy, though I'm not particularly good at it.  I'd like to meet new people.  I'd be ok with meeting girl people, frankly.  I wouldn't say I'm lonely, because I do have a couple of pretty good friends here.  Maybe I'm just adjusting to starting at base one more slowly than others.  The problem is that while I take my time, they're all out making friends in a method that is unfathomable to me.
Interesting.
          Heck, some guys here already have girlfriends here from what I can tell.  I'm not saying that that's a goal of mine (ok, yes it it, who am I kidding?)  I guess I'm just socially slow.  Probably no big surprise to anyone who knew me back home.  For some reason it keeps surprising me though.
right ok, bye
