Apartment Hunting

So I'm looking for a new apartment. The one I'm at currently is upping rent and doesn't have parking, which I think I desperately need. I really don't care where it is as long as it falls under these conditions:

1. Affordable
2. My own room
3. Easy transportation to campus (i.e. bus, lightrail, bike, walk, etc.)
4. Not a craphole
5. Decent enough neighborhood

I'll either have 1 or 2 roomates. I need an answer from one of them like NOW before I go check places out, cuz I'm not going to waste time on looking for 3br when all I'll need is a 2br. So, hopefully it will work out soon.

On another note, the Bella Luna Fest was a big hit. I enjoyed it very much and had a great time. The nights were pretty chilly, but the days were nice and warm, so that made up for it. Got to know some new bands, and even hung out with some of the guys from DownLo, because our neighbors new them and we shared a fire. So all in all, good weekend.

Bella Luna

Well, I'm heading off to Bella Luna Fest in Albert Lea, MN this afternoon. It shall be a 3 day weekend of music, booze, music, and more booze. Oh, and some marshmallows. It's a camping trip, so there shall be fire and good foodstuffs cooked over said fire. I'm going with a co-worker who invited me. We are getting free entrance because we volunteered to help clean up on Sunday morning. We were lucky and got the good shift - not during any headliners AND its only 6 hours instead of 8, like everyone else. So I'm excited! I haven't been camping in forever and I really miss it. True that this isn't like the traditional style camping out in the woods and whatnot, but it works for now.

I'm also looking for people to go to 10K fest with me in July...so if I know you and you know me, and your interested, give
me a heads up. We need to book tickets and a camp site ASAP. =D.

I must apologize

First off, I must apologize. I found it quite Ironic that my first post was to ensure that my blog will be a happy place. Shortly thereafter, I defaced it with rantings of my unfortunate event. Yes, I was not in the best mood to learn that my motorcycle had been towed, but I should not have taken it out on this blog...that is what my deadjournal is for. And yes, sadly I have one of those things. I rarely use it at least - it started some time ago when I was a bit younger and more angst filled. Now I have actual problems, just like any adult. It really puts things in perspective. But I shall persevere (thank god for parents =P).

So, later today I will put up a make-up picture to help everyone forget about my whineyness.

In other news, check out this great comic!

God DAMN it.

I get home...and my motorcycle has been towed. Shit.

$280.40

I swear to God if that doesn't include the ticket I am breaking something.

I really can't afford this. I need people to pay me back what they owe, and then I might be all right. If this didn't happen and they payed me back I would have been all right in the world. Now I'll just even out to where I am now.

My landlord is at fault, and I for being gulable. She told me that I could park there, when I told her about owning a motorcycle. Its small, and doesn't take up a parkins space, so putting it in a small area wouldn't be a big deal. I thought this was all worked out. I'm an idiot. I'm not going to get any help with it either. But I was damn nice enough to call her and tell her that she should NOT tell anyone to park there, even her boyfriend, who never had trouble before.

F@*!

Getting Started...

So I guess I'm going to start up this Blog. I have owned a few blogs before, but none that I really paid any attention to. I was never for something like this because of all the bullshit that gets posted. It just seemed a reason to get obsessed that wasn't necessary in my life. Plus, all the things I've read in the past from other people sat heavily on my soul. So here I am going to try to make a (hopefully) upbeat record of all of my personal works; whether it is my web comic (RisingSidewalks) or my homemade animations, or any information on my band (RawSugar).

This is just an opportunity for me to have a little fun and share with the world just what the Hell it is I do. So stay tuned, I will throw up some pics, drawings, videos, music files, etc.


ENJOY!
