Yay! I’m happy all art classes.   &_& My adviser says I need to catch up on them to get onto animation classes next fall and since my general ed is pretty much done I’m straight.Plus no classes on Tuesdays or Fridays

I’ve officially begun to get the hell out of this miserable sanctum. It’s almost like I’m starting college all over again.  No more sadness, no more being lonely. I finally have a chance to be happy.

Me and Derek got to talk about me going to his school finally. His concern of course was whether I’d cling to him,I was concerned about it too but then I started thinking-I won’t cling if I have other people to be with.I have classmates there,and we have no classes together,so hopefully it wont be an issue.

He told his mom about me going,she’s the only one he has told, and she told him it might be a blessing having me there. I have no clue what that means,assuming the way Derek talks about how lazy she’s gotten to go get him and bring him home I wonder would she try to use my being there as a method for Derek to have his car¹ or would she see it as Derek having no reason to come home since I’d already be there. He himself said the only reason why he came home was to be with me,I was hoping we could up and get an apartment but the school ain’t having that unless we get off campus.I’d love to live with him,he’s clean I love him and I could walk around in whatever.Plus I could take Toshi² with me and he could stay.^^

We’ll see,maybe this is what it was always meant to be,I always wanted to do animation and I had no idea this school had until recently.

If I’d have known in high school,It’s a good chance I would have went there to begin with…

1. freshmen can’t have cars and Derek got put back since he went to community college and they didn’t take his credits [↩]
2. new kitty [↩]

So this year I got new college roommates.

Granted we had differences,like cleaning and drinking but they’re really the best I’ve had.

So,last weekend when I got back and rode with Candice¹ to the rooming contract meeting she informs me that we now have cats.

I’m like huh?

she goes “Yeah Laura² has kittens in her room. I saw it yesterday,scared the shit outta me cuz it went running from the bathroom.”

So I’m on my period and I got so damn excited-kittens???Kittens????Kittens are fuckin’ adorable!! So I told her i was excited she laughed said they we’re kinda cute,she couldn’t remember.

So we get to the meet with the RD³, mind you we’d already talked it all out and were all back on good terms⁴ so the meeting was real short,of course no one brought up the cats-cause we aren’t allowed pets.

But I need some animal therapy in that school.

So later that day we’re all in the suite and playing with the kittie. One’s a girl-wild as hell.Like literally crazy wild.Laura’s keeping her, so she named her Averie.Which is quite pretty.The other cat is a boy and he’s adorable, but Laura couldn’t keep both….so I got excited and asked if I could get him If my parents allowed me.

Laura says sure and I call up the rents.

It’s an auto no,but I was determined,if they saw it-they’d want it.Sure enough Friday my dad’s reaction?

“Look like an expensive cat” as though his eyes enlighten with it he was ready to showcase Averie. Mom thought they were adorable,but told my dad it was his choice. He sees me pouting and says that mom has to decide.⁵ Mom gets mad that he makes her the bad guy.

So she says we’ll keep it-cause really she wanted him too. Also says that we’ll declaw it and it stays upstairs because no cat is going outdoors to be hit by a car, or stay in the basement to suffer like Snowy⁶ had to.

Me and Laura get so excited,but because I’ll be at school and his sister will too we won’t bring him home til Thanksgiving break-since they have to be separated and have never been before.

I decided to name him Toshiba,since he loves my laptop.Granted I have a Sony Vaio both of those sounded to feminine.

So here’s my the kitties, first 2 are Toshi,the 3rd, 4th and 5th are Averie:

I guess when one pets leave another comes-we miss Pee Wee⁷ but I know Derek’s more or less supportive of Toshi.

He also came home this weekend-surprising me yay he so sweet. We went to see Saw V which was mostly a flashback-explanation saw but it ended interestingly enough for the VI. Of course I treated him to dinner..blowing the money for his cake for next weekend,yep my baby boo’s turning 20. I figure I buy him a PS3 and his custom Ed Hardy Cake. I’ll post more pictures Friday or Saturday from those and of course more Toshi pics throughout the week

I also got into VSU⁸.Which wasn’t my first choice but HU⁹ is being….distasteful? They’ve yet to decide on my application,granted the deadline was Nov.1 I had stuff mailed in and received by October 12th.

VSU on the other hand I had just sent everything Nov 3rd,they called me personally to tell me I was accepted the next day.

They also have animation.But the only thing that scares me is the fact that it’s Derek’s school-I’m terrified I’m going to lose him or be a distraction,but in the end I keep thinking us at the same school might not be bad at all…after all don’t you find your ’soul mate’ at college??Anyway I’m off now to play around,maybe make some avvies or layouts

*edit* Here’s a short bit of info: if you dare want to fight politics or argue about my decision as who should president-kindly leave,it’s over.it’s done and I really do not have the audacity to argue with the same kind of people I have been since Obama won the primaries. Your regarded to your opinion,but since this is MY blog,I paid for the space I have the right to reject anything I don’t want to read or display on it.

why am i so pissy? this comment:

“You say you despise being black in America………? Why are you here then? Don’t say you hate to be here and still be here. Do something about it. Without this country you wouldn’t have the beautiful life you probably have. Obama is a bullshitter. End of story. But I’m glad you are proud to be an American now…because you know, you weren’t before….”

My response:

I despised being black in America because of how whites treat me because I am black.
Why am I here?
I’m 19, my family can barely afford me to go to college-where else could I go,I can’t leave such a country because I can’t afford to get the plane ticket nor residency in another.
The beautiful life I ‘probably’ have?
My life is far from beautiful. My father’s unemployed because his parents never could send him to school-he went to work in the so called booming textile industry after highschool,then this wonderful country sent all those jobs overseas,now he’s struggling to get a bachelors off of unemployment money.
But we can’t forget my mother,who also has no college education because neither she or her parents could afford to send her to college,she too did the textile thing,but lucky for her after me and my sister were born she managed to go to a technical school and get an associates degree so she can work at a local library.

I really don’t care about who you are, or your political ‘ideals’.perhaps you do think obama’s a bullshitter.I think Mccain’s an old croak and sarah palin is an idoit.
but hey,that’s my opinion,and that’s your opinion.

So, in the method of hello kitty: if your not going to say something nice,don’t say anything at all.
Also if your more or less deferred to put your name and your address-only: Beep.
confused yeah….your legitimacy truly is at play.

*2nd edit*
thankyou tawni for rephrasing.:) all is fine.I don’t label all whites racist at all,the fact that that night I felt proud is due to overcoming such claims-obama being elected to me meant that there is hope that people change-that’s why i’m proud to claim this country*end 2nd edit*

I’m sorry but,it’s my first election…I’ve always despised being black in America,but tonight…now I feel more than ever proud to be an American.

not only is my president a minority, but the fact that my state,VA voted democractic,for once in my memory makes me go back on all those:1 vote is nothing.

I am living history,I am black,female,and helped to elect the first black president of the United States.

I may get silenced, I ma be shunned or worst I may be killed for these beliefs, but I WILL be able to say I did it.

I believed.I hoped. Dreams do come true,change really can happen.So to Mccain supporters,he’s your president too,to the racist we’ve all come across it’s time to let go-it’s truly time to change.America came this far…Anything and everything is possible.

Tonight, it was proven.Let the REAL change begin
