Well I found me a warm winter coat for the likes of forty below, that's why it is great to have a west coast mountain store near where ya live. My mother is gettin' it for me. So I don't have to cough up five hundred bucks for it when I get my arse up there. she wants me to save up as much money as fast as possiable, so I can come home sooner, and I'm right along side her with that one. I ain't livin' up there for the rest of my life, like my sister seems to think I am. She thinks I'm going to fall helplessly in love with some guy and totaly forget my dreams of doing animation, and character design, and live the rest of my life in the northeren wasteland. No thank you!!!

My only intention of going up there is to get some money, and of course spend a lot of time with Angie, I love her, even though she may drive me a bit crazy at times, but eh, she's my sister. Whatta ya goin' to do?

I know I'm going to totaly hate the weather up there, they don't really get a summer, and their spring lasts only somethin' like two weeks, and their winter is the longest. No wonder why they call it suicide hour up there. The cold and the total darkness is enough to make one go out of his mind. Well not for me, this may seem odd, but I think I'm going to like the 22 hours of darkness all day. Sometimes they get the full 24.

But anyways I have to buy so much stuff while I'm up there for winter, I'm gettin' the coat and hopefully the pants from my mother, everythin' else like the boots and gloves, and a hat I'll have to buy myself once I get up there, and those things may seem small enough to be rather cheap, trust me the ain't. It's like a 100 bucks for a good hat, 200 for a good pair of boots, and like 60 for gloves, and another 60 for the scarf that I will have to wear constantly around my mouth. The only thing that is supposed to show is your eyes. Anything else would litterally fall off. Like take your hand out of your glove and it will freeze and fall off. I'm serious, really!! During forty below that is.

But I guess I'm just goin' to have to make the best of it. My niece Amber just can't wait for me to come up, she's 14, loves me to death, I guess I'm like a big sister to her, and she can't wait for me to come up. Since I am bunkin' with her. Damn I ain't even going to have my own room, I'll be splittin' a closet with Amber, and Angie is goin' to get me a chested drawers. But anyways it's ok I split a room with Amber, I actually get right along with her. Ya know if she were my age, we'd probably be best of buds. The best thing is that I can somewhat meld her to the way I want her. Amber ain't to much on video games, and once I get there I can make her play, I will hopefully make me a gaming buddy out of her when I'm done. Ya I know I'm mean towards my nieces.

But anyways I leave on the 29th of March, and have no fear I shall still post once I get up there, and I will still keep my site updated with all my lovely art. It ain't like I'm suddenly goin' to abandon it, no way in hell!! I've put way to much into that damn site just to let it sink into the rest of the garbage that sits on the web. Besides angie has a computer, actually the exact same computer that we have, and the best thing she has is cable....God I'm going to be a bit spoiled when I get my ass up there. Cable internet, ohh I can't wait. That will be the thing that will stop me from going mad when it does hit forty below.

I think I found the perfect art course to take when I get all my money saved up, and move back down here. Agh, when I saw it I almost screamed with delight, this is just what I was lookin' for, and it ain't that bad whithin price range. It's a two year course, and it's 2,ooo bucks per year, and five hundered dollars per year for books and whatnot. Five thousand bucks ain't that bad considering there are art schools out there that are supposely crap like CDIS, where I was going to go, until there was a few huge flippin' articles in the paper of students urgin' others not to waste your money on that load of crap. The thing is CDIS was chargin' somethin' like 10,ooo per course, and when ya gotta take a few of 'em it's kinda hard to imagine yerself in a job anytime soon, especially if your in a dead end job savin' up money to go to school.

Anyways this course has exactly what I want to do with my life, Character design, the animation to, but mostly character design. plus with this course I can then take a few courses on digital design for the designing of video games and whatnot...that may be interestin', but it's a course of a flippin' amunt of 6,ooo for less then a year. But ya get to work with fancy computers, and that's why they charge ya.

But anyways before I even think of takin' those courses, I gotta take another one, they absalutly refuse to even let you near those courses unless you have a "begginers" course for animation, video game, and character design, and that course is like 2,ooo bucks, and I have no clue what the fee is for books. Damn site dosen't say, I swear they do that unporpuse so I have to waste my time going there so I can buy a friggin' calender. I would really like to go to this school, but it is North Vancouver...which is like a bit much of a bus rid for me, but hell these courses are the best in all of the lower mainland, I think I owe myself that much credit, and actually do this.

But first I gotta get the money...I really don't want to leave, but eh, somethings ya just got to do.

Is it just me, or is Cloud harder the second time around in Kingdom hearts. I got so far the last time I played this game, even though I had a limited time frame around it, 'cause I used to rent it , but when I got a copy of my own I have to restart it, and play from the beggining again. It's a odd tradition of mine, don't ask. But anyways I got up to the fourth round in the Hercules cup, which is where Cloud patiently waits for you. My ass got kicked so bad this time around, the first time I fought him on my first saved game[the one I erased] I beat him no prob, but now it's like he's out for revenge. Ahh well, atleast he's not as bad as Sephiroth, whom I have yet to beat. Damn him he's to good, I may need to get the Ultima Weapon before I even think of bashing him around, or he'll just swing his sword around a couple of times, and I'll be history.

Ya know this is the best game I've played in a long while, it reminds me of all the PSX FF's, ya I know all the FF characters from all the PSX games are in it, but it has that charm ya know? I miss the old PSX Final Fantasies, I really do, FFX was great, I loved it. But I don't know, it was missing something. Ya could tell it was a FF just by looking at it, but it seemed different, and it wan't just the voices. Maybe there wasn't that many places to explore, or maybe it was the fact that it was a bit shorter then all the other Final Fantasies. I don't know what it was, but I wish they go back to the format of games like FFVII, or FFVII. I hope the sequal of FFVII is true, I hope it is not just anothr rumor, I would love to see the world of FFVII after the diesaster of metoer.

Anyways Kingdom Hearts is a good game, a hell of a hard game, which is a rare find these days, so to all that haven't played it yet, go play it, the disney and FF characters will just lighten up your heart. But be warned it ain't a kiddie game for all of you who are thinking that just because disney is involved. It ain't, it's got that squaresoft battle system to it, plus a few different thing so it ain't all that easy.

Agh well I'm off to put a comment sytem in liliths blog *sighs* Everytime I get something new in my blog she goes, "ohhh, that is soo cool, I want that", so i end up doing it for her, becasue she has no clue as to what she is doing, that or she says she is to busy, well if your to busy don't bother with it, agh>_<...well she's my best bud so I'll see what I can do, but she is the one that has to sign up to a server to actually get a comment system.
