Default They will see us waving from such great heights.

Hey everyone.

So here is an update of my life:

I finished my first semester of college. I'm going to say I didn't do so well. My GPA was only a 2.5. I didn't fail any classes, but I didn't do extremely well in any either.

So over the Christmas break I found out that I lost one of my scholarships. It wasn't a lot of money, and because I wont be at this school next year anyway, I don't really have to worry about it, because I would have lost it anyway.

Anyway, my father and I got into a huge argument about it. It resulted in me completely just saying "F this, I'm leaving the house."

I knew I was going to stay with a friend in Virginia on the 27th anyway, so I didn't have too many days to wait. So I stayed at Ashleigh's for a night . On the 23rd of December I told mom I would return Christmas Eve, and apparently my dad said he wouldn't say anything to me about my leaving. So I went home and didn't even talk to him. That day I spent the night at my brother's house, and most of Christmas day. On the 26th I spent the day with Ashleigh and my friend George, and I wasn't home most of the day. On the 27th I left home and caught a bus to Virginia.

So I spent the entire break in Virginia. Well Most of it. I arrived back in Kentucky on Thursday January the 13th at 3:30 am. I was tired and hungry but I still stayed awake until 1:30 pm playing guilty gear.

After some sleep we left for Ohayocon in Columbus Ohio. Wow. I must say that Ohayocon was one of the greatest experiences of my life. I mean so many people were there, and they all shared my interests. Wow.

We played a lot of guilty gear, and I entered a tournement. I played some really good people, it was nice. I'm sure, since there are no hardcore guilty gear players here, that none of you have heard of Kenji. He is the #1 Zappa player in the nation, but he loves playing Anji Mito. So I learned a lot about Anji from him. Needless to say, he won the tournement. Way to go Kenji.

It was cool, because he's so good, and he could be a jerk about it, but he wasn't. He showed us a lot of very awesome things that I wouldn't have learned by myself.

So I got 5th in a DDR tournement out of like 32 people, so I'm pleased about that.

I took a lot of pictures, and it was cool.

I can't wait to go again next year.

So now I'm back in college, I'm doing well. My classes are a lot easier this time around, and I'm keeping up with my work and such which is why I have all this time to share with you.

Anyway, I have this crazy life, wish me luck with it.

EDIT: Oh and might I add, the new layout for the site is sweet.

College is hard at first. It's just a whole different place (it was for me anyway). Then everything returns to normal.

Where were you in Virginia, btw?

A little town called Lyndhurst.

Not too far from Charlottesville.

I must say Charlottesville was a very nice city, and very musical. It was sweet.

You aren't going to school next year? will you be transfering or something, or just dropping out completely?

Nice to hear you had fun at the convention, though. I wish I could have went.

What did you place in the Guilty Gear tournament?

I only hope that you knew about that good song before Garden State ruined it by mainstreaming it to all the cliche music listeners...

Anyway, I'm interested to hear about your post college plans for next year. I don't understand why you only went for one year. I guess it was a time of self-discovery.

Congratulations on the video game tournament too.

If you need a place to stay during Valentines, my bed can fit two people...

Yes I knew all about the postal service and such before Garden State, but I happen to like Iron and Wine's cover a lot.

My post college plans are just to go to a different college. See the scholarship I lost was only for this university, and it doesn't transfer. See?

Oh and GM, you do realize under my girly exterior I'm still a man, right?
