Taking It To The Limit One More Time

Ok well now... let me first allow myself to blow the dust of ye olde Livejournal account.... OK.

So obviously school has been back in full swing for a little while now. Just finishing off the last bunch of first assignments in most of my classes and went through the motions of the great 2D vs 3D debate and decided on sticking with 2D. All is well. Then it dawned on me... I have virtually no social life. Even with all the time off I had (from Christmas to the end of August), I didn't really take the oppertunity to. And now that I'm in the thick of school now, I find myself wanting one. But hey, "Animation? Don't you just draw? So shouldn't you have lots of free time?" WRONG! Learning to become an animator has to be one of the most time consuming things you can do. So there really isn't much time for that. But what about all my friends in class, you ask? Well... since I staid back a year, all my friends are a year ahead of me and all have jobs so it's not like I see them at school. And the group I'm in now... well they tend to keep to themselves. So they stay in their own groups, leaving me with Gage and Harper, two slackers that I try to avoid as much as possible, but it's really hard when they're the only people you know, and you're the only person they know. What joy!
Not that I'm complaining about the program. There's actually nowhere else I'd rather be. The fact that I don't really have time for my current friends, to make friends, hardly have time for my girlfriend, or to be active is where my frustrations lie.
Instead of hanging out after class, I get to go home to a negative family who don't really seem to appreciate the intensity of a program where they "teach you to draw good". Instead I come home to "The washrooms are dirty!" or "Why hasn't the garbage been put out!?" All things that anyone could do but are too lazy to do it themselves (or too consmed with online poker, but I digress. Then move out, you say? Let me tell you... I've often thought about it. But incase you haven't been following.. the program doesn't leave much time for work, or anything else for that matter so I am stuck. Stuck in this vicious cycle of negativity. And there's nothing I can do until it passes... God willing, by 2008.

I dunno I've just had this big ball of negativity and frustration building up in my chest and weighing me down for the past little while. And it sucks because it's affecting my attitude, my mood, and how I've been interacting with people. I've even had a few fights with the lady friend, which is really not cool because I love her to death and the last thing I want is to fight with her or make her upset. Who knows... maybe things will get better once volleyball starts up... or maybe once things get going a bit more I might be able to manage more time for a social life. I just thought I'd vent for a bit.

You know, blogs like these are nice sometimes... when you need to vent, it's just like yelling at a wall. You're not hurting anyone, and walls don't yell back... unless it's an echoey room.

I'm out.

So tonight I was invited to my cousins, Arnold and Elly (well she's actually my cousin-in-law)'s house for some Korean food, which I love (mmm.... korean food...) and watch a chinese horror film called "The Eye 2", along with my other cousin Brian, and Elly's friend Sophia (Sofia?). So little did I know that my purpose there was to make things less akward for Brian and Sophia because Elly was trying to hook them up. The whole night I was kinda the outcast just because I was the one furthest away from the food, and when we watched the movie I was the only one without a cuddle-buddy for the scary parts...*sigh*..... but that's besidethe point of me making this post. So this movie, The Eye 2... is the sequel to this other movie called The Eye... obviously. But you don't have to see the first one to get the second which is cool because I haven't seen the first. So the movie is about this girl who can see ghosts but doesn't know why.... and then there's this whole thing about buddhist reincarnation.. and the movie was really creepy because you really didn't know what was going on until the end of the movie, and a lot of things happen unexpectedly.. If you guys like movies like the Ring, or The Grudge... I highly recommend this one... or like scary movies in general and don't mind subtitles.... I mean.. the whole reason I'm posting right now is because I'm afraid to go to bed.

But all I will say to the girl in the movie is... If at first you don't succeed, ...maybe suicide isn't your thing.

My friend Lucas was over today to take a look at my computer.... not only did he drool over my new PowerMac G5, but he did manage to fix my internet connection through my wireless router upstairs. So... as you can imagine, I am downloading up a storm right now.... (but you didn't hear it from me!) Afterwards, we proceeded to play Gamecube. I also spoke to a girl from Bell today because I was having a hard time setting up my e-mail account through Mail, the Mac e-mail program. It took nearly an hour to figure it out, but in that almost hour, I got to know the girl a bit... i found out her name is Stefania and she's 22. she likes family guy (because we got talking about animation and how I'm taking it) and I found out that we have the same birthday! I know it's weird that I was talking to a phone attendant for Bell and find out her life's story, but there was some load time and therefor had some time to kill. A wee bit of a pointless story, but oh well..

OK, Bedtime!

So a while ago, I had a LiveJournal account, and then I stopped because I thought it was pointless. But here I am again...
