It's about time that start to having a little fun in this game. No offense to anyone, I just can't see myself as a "good guy" anymore. You guys have been great to me, so I'm going to give you fair warning before I go... Later tonight when I'm ingame I'm goin to hit 40 and then go Merv. They seem like really nice people, and I'm just not feeling the whole cliche white hat cowboy angel shit anymore. So, thanks for everything, I appreciate all the help, thanks to all the people I made friends with here, I'll see you around
Happy April Fools. hey come on, SOMEONE had to do it

After the manic pace of last semester, I've basically decided to take this semester off, for health and GPA reasons. I'll only be taking 14 hours (opposed to 19) I'm only doing one practicum, and that's only 4 hours every Friday. I won't be doing any FST's, and possibly only one showcase, depending on how much I can handle. My acting classes will require some outside rehearsal, but not too much. I will NOT be doing any run crews, come hell or highwater! If I'm assigned one I'll plead lack of study time and try to get out of it as much as possible. There will only be one audition I'll be prepping for.

So now that classes have more or less settled in, I'm absolutely free to devote my nights to the game. However...

Last night I believe it was, I tried to jack in and discovered my account had been closed! Apparently the bank account my parents set up for me years ago that I just recently took over solo A: didn't renew my automatic withdrawl, so I'll have to set that up again, no biggie, I just didn't get to pay for January B: (and here's the real problem) has all these yearly fees amounting up to $95 that I wasn't informed about. So, voila, I'm overdrawn anyway. And I just used my other account to pay rent.

(BTW, my father and I had a falling out, so now money has become EXTREMELY tight, since he's refusing to give me a dime, including tuition money or food money, much less petty cash to spend on MxO)

So the plan here is: wait for my refund check and get my account set back up, praying they didn't delete it.

Anyone have any?

As if I wasn't scarce enough...    (an update on the mysterious dissapearence of Lits)

We're putting up Little Shop of Horrors this week, and for dumb reasons I was called in a week early to do somebody else's job So those rare moments at like 10am when I'm actually on? Yeah, those are going to be cut too for the next two weeks or so. My apologies for being so infrequent this semester, I just overloaded myself time-wise.

P.S. I'm listening to DarkHazes new song and... is he actually making words there? I can't hear anything.

And Destyn, as my personal stylist you should know:

This is the costume I went with.



And no, I don't like Heineken, but it was free *shrug*

Alrighty then... Lits has been out of it for waaaay too long. I have a bazillion excuses and good reasons, but those aren't of any interest or importance. Starting tomorow I am back, or so help me I'll kick MYSELF out. I'm sorry, my schedule keeps me very busy and very tired, but damnit if I can't have any fun, what's the point in living, eh?

-Lits, the lost angel
Miss ya'll.... see you tomorow.

Please forgive me for being sketchy as of late. My soldier has come home from the war, and I've been a little busy . Be back soon, I promise. Miss you guys (and gals now!)

This makes me so happy!

weeee'rreeee baaaack!



wow, that's not big enough, but you get the idea
