I have just found out that the anime convention I want to go to (Otakon) is on the same weekend that the Harry book comes out. I guess if I can go I will end up preordering and then reading when I get back.

I just checked, and wow has it been a long time since I've updated, and that sadly was mostly to vent. I suppose it feels weird sometimes to update when not much has changed.

However, I can't really use that as a an excuse this time. There have been a lot changes in my life recently. The biggest, as most everyone knows who has looked at the most recent posts of mine, is that I moved at the end of January. Even with all of the craziness still going on as the house is being worked on I must say I am very happy. It is near school so it usually on takes me five or ten minutes to get here each morning, which means more sleep (this makes for a very happy Marissa). There have been some problems, and minor stresses, but hopefully they are all passed now, or if they continue remain as minor as possible.

My cat, Kyra, is still lost. I don't know what to do since it isn't really feasible for me to go back to my old place and try to look for her. Maybe that will happen eventually, but I don't see it happening anytime soon so I continue to worry. Luckily we managed to hang on to the psycho one, known most of the time as Phantom or Psycho Kitty.

Still working on replacing my iPod, since it would cost more to fix the one I have then to just get a new one. As it gets warmer I get more impatient because I would like to have one so I could go walking more. I also plan to upgrade my computer's memory and ram and get an external hard drive this summer. I love my computer, but it is long past time for an upgrade, seriously.

I've actually been working a bit more with icons lately. I need to go through and work some of the tutorials that I have, and maybe actually seeing about upgrading my photoshop at some point. One of my bosses at work has offered to put it on one of the computers there and work with me on it.

I'm still working on FF12 and Suikoden 5, but they go slowly since school is taking up quite a bit of time recently. Especially this one class that if I didn't absolute need would be dropped so fast it's not even funny. I have a Yu Yu Hakusho video game and well, let's just say as much as I love the series I think that whoever made the game should probably be punished in some horrible, very creative, way because while of course since it is a fighting game there must be button mashing the particular style of button mashing is annoying and makes no sense and seems to require at times extra fingers...perhaps this is just me.

I am still rping, but because of school and a few other things that have sort up happened recently I've not done very much with my pups at all. Hopefully this will change, especially when summer gets here.

I can't wait for summer, mostly for the fact I'll more money than for the VERY warm weather. Also, I probably won't be taking any classes so that will be a bit of a relief. I hope to be able to go to Otakon, but unless I start doing something soon I'm not sure how I will work it out. I still haven't heard from a few places where I sent my stories some months back so I suppose in May it will be time to do the rounds again.

I haven't really thought about the last Harry book yet because it really hadn't hit me until recently how soon it was going to be here. Naturally, like most everyone I have ideas, though they are mostly questions actually that I think she should answer. Of course, I am not holding my breath because I fully accept that maybe I am over-analyzing and I may be the only person who wants to know the answers to certain things(well okay not really but it is possible). If the money situation in April allows I will probably pre-order and get that out of the way then its wait for the movie. Also, there is an animated Dragonlance movie coming out in fall that I'm excited about.

Now that I've rambled (and boy have I rambled) I guess I will take my leave of this post. Hopefully I will actually start updating more, at least this is the plan. Also, I would like to actually have more of my writing here. I still need to work on my homepage as well.

Well I survived Otakon and spent way too much money as I suspected I would....I got many things that I won't really list here..*smiles* Most of what I bought were box sets of Anime that I have wanted for quite a while. I enjoyed the Artist's Alley(waves at llamajoy and tenshi_no_korin)and bought a few prints and some small things...*smiles* Also, met some interesting people and saw some great costumes, though due to some issues with my camera I lost many pics..*sighs* Other than that and a long drive everything was great....

So far school is...well...school....I have a voice class soon that I'm nervous about, and I have so much review to do for Japanese but other than that not too much that I'm worried about..mostly economics and computer things to deal with. I guess that's it for now....since I'm back in school with more than likely post more and hope to work on some fanfics....*crosses fingers*




Edit the voice thing went well I am now in one of the choruses at school..basically the one for non-music majors I think......*Jumps excitedly*

Well, we have net back on at the house...YEAH!......other than that not much going on.

I am continuing to make plans for my trip to Otakon. I think that I might be flying, but I am not completely sure yet. Also, they still haven't processed my registration so I am hoping that goes through soon.

I guess that's about it for now........

The plans are underway for me to go Otakon this August. I am really excited and am looking forward to it, although the funniest thing is that it happens a few days before classes start back. Anyway, not much else to report on that front.

Not much else to say at this point, though I hope to have some stories sold before the end of July, though I am having trouble making myself get them out there. I guess that part of me is afraid of rejection, which I know must come at least at some point. I do hope to send a story to scifi.com at the end of this week so wish me luck.

Summer is going okay, though I have to admit I am looking forward to classes again..isn't that kinda strange..*smile*

Anyway, that's all for now...

Not much going on..right now I am just getting used to working at a library again. I did not realize how much I missed it; I know sounds lame, but..*shrug*..I don't miss the cold though..

I am going to see Star Wars on Thursday, thanks to the kindness of Paul(Allen). I don't know how well I am going to deal with all of the crowds though...

I still have to catch up on Naruto and Prince of Tennis. Sometimes it is very difficult to be into series that are so long.

I may be going to a con this summer, though I am not holding my breath. Paul (Allen) wants to go and needs company for the ride up; however, he also has several Other things that he wants to do, which will require major moving, so I don't know if he will still be here and I am hesitant to make definite plans because if he does not go then I don't think it will make financial sense for me to go.

Speaking of money...I am hoping that since both Jeri and I get paid 3 times in June that we can catch everything up (mainly phone and internet/cable are problems right now). I also want to see about getting some sort of help, but not sure where is the best to go.

Well, I guess that's all for now...I hope to update more often since it's summer...
