Attempt at Blogging #2

Hello Internet!

So, when I was a kid my family would always give me journals to allow my creativity to flourish. I never wrote in any of them because on the rare occasions that I could find something to say, I would say it in two sentences and be done. I'm not really the effusive type. When I did use them, I always wrote stories. At first, they were all about horses. All of them. And I wrote a lot of them. Once I discovered fantasy, they were all about unicorns or talking horses. No doubt about it, I was horse-crazy. Of course, the only difference between me and the average horse-crazy little girl was that I had my own horses to draw inspiration from. Of course, I was always more comfortable outside (she types from the comfort of the living room couch), so my writing usually took place on the lawn or in a tree somewhere. I was weird like that. Didn't mind dirt nearly as much as I do now.

I'm going to be good and give this blog thing a shot. I'll try not to forget about for long stretches of time. Please don't take it personally if I do. I don't mean to make anyone mad.

Today was the last day of classes. I would have had two, but we finished Digital Art on Monday. Since that class started at 8am, I was ok with this. After sleeping in, I got to spend the majority of my day finishing a website for my Web Design class. I am not in any way a web designer, so please don't ask me to make a site for you. It would probably work, but it would not be pretty. And we would no longer be friend at the end. Too bad that this nonsense is basically my major. I go to Pacific University, which is as nice place as any to effectively waste four years of my life. I'm not a huge fan of college right now. I think this happens to most Juniors.

Back to my major. It's called Integrated Media, which really doesn't make any sense to anyone. It's web design, and other computer-based design, and I chose it because it was one of the few options that would allow me to graduate on time. That's not saying that I don't like. I really do. I love my department, and everyone else in my major (seriously, like all 15 of them), but I know that I'm not going to do anything related to this in my future, and that's a little disheartening.

I'm going to try really hard not to whine in this. I have a tendency to do that once I start talking for a while.

And finally, in regards to my profile picture. The fairy pictured is Layla of the Winx Club, an Italian cartoon (somewhat in the vein of Sailor Moon) which I am mildly obsessed with. I was considering linking to their website, but I want people to like the show. Watch it with an open mind. Also, find the RAI English version, because the American version hasn't released in English yet, and it probably won't. It's completely ridiculous, and awesome, and I love it much more than I should.

Ta-ta for now!

P.S. A belated Happy Mother's Day to my mom, even though I told her on the day itself and she's in the living room with me. My mom's seriously one of the coolest people I know. Well, I don't know if "cool" is the right word, but she's pretty great.
