Update on life

Hello people out there.

I'm surprised to be back here again. It has been over a year and I'm sorry about that. There has been so much that has happened over the year I don't know where to start.

First off I'm about to enter into my fourth of college. FOUR YEARS! I can't believe it's been that long and I'm still not done. My reasoning is with my Aspergers, I want to take my time with my school work by taking four classes a semester and not fry up my brain. I'm living in the same place next year but there is one little problem, all of my roommates are 19 years old, making me pretty old since I am 21 (on to 22) years old. But I also have a job on campus. I work in the Catering department at my college and started on my winter semester 2014. I was suggested by my sister Emily who previously worked there in the past.

And speaking of Emily, she graduated in December of 2013 and just recently got her teaching job in North Carolina. So now she's gonna be living there with her dog Jaxson. Oh year she got a dog in October and I took the free time I had and went over to her apartment (that was not to far from my school since she and I went to the same college) and take care of him while she was student teaching.

And another thing had happened. You remember when I mentioned Connor from the Jurassic Park movie and considering my sister said it was a date. Well...In the end of december I got a text from him. Seemed normal friendly texting until...he asked me out. That's right! I'm out of the single board and got myself a boyfriend. We're now been dating for about 7 going on 8 months. We are happy together and love each other very much.

Well that's all I have to say. Until then.

Father Issues

Sorry I haven't written in a long time, but I have been busy with my other activites.

Now for some people that read my series on Fanfiction, "A Day with Kung Fu", my character Chrissy has some difficult time with her dad. Now for some people that actually know, Chrissy is based off of me. So that means I have difficulty with my own father, right? Actually, it's true.

Me and my dad have conversations as difficult as two rams hitting their heads. He actually yelled if I did something "not in his way". Of course this was before anyone in my family knew about me and being diagnosed with Aspergers, so he didn't really understand. But the thing is, he still doesn't listen.

One thing that my dad doesn't get is my musical talent. He keeps saying that I should do it as a back up plan. But the thing is...I don't want a musical career. I want to be an animator, and maybe a voice actor if I have the chance. But he keeps saying it over and over and over and...well you get the picture. He also said today about making my music public on iTunes and make money.

I know I would be lying that I wouldn't want to be famous, but...not like that. It bugs me so much that he keeps saying these things. It makes me feel like that he doesn't believe that I can do what I want to do. Even though he says that, I can't find it to believe in him. He's lied to me all of my life. It's so bad even my mom and my sister Emily (who actually understand my situation) don't trust him either.
 How can I trust him?

Sorry if this seems a little sad but I just need to blow off some steam. Maybe I can write my stories or draw, it always makes me feel better.

Exam/Movie time

I'm a terrible person.
I haven't been here for the longest time. I'm so sorry.
Anyways Exam are coming soon. I'm not so worried about my exams...only Biology. why? It's tough  like super hard tough. I'm just hoping I'll pass with a D.
But anyways I most recently got back from seeing "Jurassic Park in 3D" so much Nostalgia in it.
But I didn't go alone. I went with a friend, my friend Conner. I've known him since the beginning of the school year and we are the same major (Well I was a graphic design major then but changed to S.A.G. due to it being more to what want to do.) He's great to be around.
But of course my sister thought we were on a date. But it wasn't a date, it was two friends going to see the movie. I mean yeah he paid for the ticket and popcorn/drink, but he was doing it to be nice. But I recently heard the other day that he broke up with his girlfriend, but we are just friends. that's all I have to say about it.
Sorry if that friend thing was a bit off topic but I had to get it out.
Anyways that's all i have to say for now. (plus it's 1:30 at the time I'm writing this.)

Sooooooo Sorry!!!!!!

Hello people,
Sorry if I haven't posted in a while. It's my lazy/busy side of me telling me what to do. But I have been pretty tried and busy with school. Plus I haven't had may thing good to report so you didn't need to hear anything boring from me anyways.
So basically I'm trying to survive my last bit of the semester(which I end in the end of April.) So things will tend to pile up. But the good news is I'm all prepared for my next semester class( but won't officially post it until Tuesday due to certain time and date to do it.) But once that's done, I'll be all set for Fall 2013. Living a nice place (The village which is like an apartment and ACTUAL air conditioning!!!) with four (Astronomy is lab and lecture in reality is five but it's really four.) classes on the way. Hooray!!!!

But I've been working on my creative side, Like my drawing for the Easter theme

And also recently made a video on a Rise of the Guardians fandub video, with me as Jamie. 

But that's all I have to say. (I told you my life hasn't been that great.)

Back from Break

Hey there,
Sorry that I haven't posted anything all spring break. I have two reasons:
1) Internet at home sucks
2) Busy enjoying my break.
But I can give you details on my break

3/1- stay at sister's place(Couldn't leave due to her working)
3/2- finally went home (So nice to have home cooked food!!!)
3/3- spent the night at friends house
3/4- nothing
3/5- nothing
3/6- nothing (But had Gusidade{Not sure if spelled right but it's an Italian dish, almost like chicken noodle soup})
3/7- went to the DIA(Detroit Institute of Art) and went to grandparents house and had Beans and Rice (Syrian and use beef instead of lamb)
3/8- went to the mall with friends (Got Wreck-it-Ralph on DVD!!!)
3/9- hair cut and errands with mom/ see old high school play with dad (they did Hamlet {Which kid of shocks me but still did a good job})
3/10- came back to school (With time gone froward UGH!)

But Monday has past and it is now Tuesday at 12:35 am and what exciting thing has happened...Making armor in 3D Art, watch Mr. and Mrs. Smith for Nonverbal communication, and learned about Nutrition in Bio Lab and watching...Super Size Me-AHHHHHHHH!!!!
NO!NO!NO!NO! NOT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!

Uh...let me explain,

You see I first encounter this movie in seventh grade health class and hated ever moment of it. It was a documentary about a guy that ate nothing but McDonalds food breakfast, lunch and dinner and if they ask to super size it, he had to do it for a WHOLE MONTH!!! I don't even eat that much out food anyways. (Because it's like that all the time when you're at college.)

It was so horrible that I didn't eat or go near McDonalds for 3 to 4 years. I ate at other fast food restaurants but going to McDonalds reminded me about that movie. But apparently I had to see it again in tenth grade for another Health class. It came to me by surprise.

I thought that was the last time I would  ever see that movie again... Apparently fate wasn't on my side.

For those that have never witness the movie...consider yourselves lucky. But if you like it and can stand the grossness...good for you.

Well I better turn in for the night.

Career Choice: Animator

Hey everyone,

It's Spring Break (Or mid winter break) for me and I can't go home until Saturday. My sister, Emily, is my ride home and she has to work. But I get to stay at her place which will be my next location (Maybe) for next school year.

I want to say that I'm sorry about the last blog post, I was kind of upset from the Oscars and had to say it.

But I do want to talk about one thing: animated films.

I recently watched "Waking Sleeping Beauty", the story about Disney animation studio's from "The Black Cauldron" to "The Lion King" and there struggles.  (It's really good and great for people that love animated films and want to be an animator)

Yes I grew up with all animated films, mostly Disney and ever since brought me everything, and I mean everything. My talents of singing, acting, drawing skills but more important my creative mind.

As I grew older I explored other films; Dreamworks, Pixar, Studio Gibli, everything.

Now you may wonder on why my topic is career choice.

Well for the longest time, I wanted to be an elementary math teacher. Yeah It's true. But at the end of my Freshman year in high school, everything changed. It was the movie "Kung Fu Panda" (Which is now my favorite film of all times) that showed me a new path, an animation path. And of course my interest for math was dying and grades falling down.

I still find it odd that now Emily is working to be an elementary math teacher right now and will be student teaching next fall. Talk about a big switch. LOL.

Anyways, I study from the best animator of our time (My personal favorite is Glen Keane), look at the animation very carefully and focus on character design. I even came up with Chrissy, my O/C from the "A Day from the Kung Fu" series.

So my career choice now is to be an animator (mostly in the work of storyboard and/or supervising animator). To be an animator is something different. It's like acting but with the use of drawing. I want to bring things to life and inspire people as those movies in the past inspired me to be who I am today.

I still work hard at school, previously an graphic design major but changed to S.A.G. (Simulating Animation Gaming) major. I will continue to work hard and to reach that goal of the animation dream.

Oscars---"Best" Animated Film

After today about the Oscars, I unfortunately found out that Brave won. Not that it's a terrible movie, but I sense a pattern that PIXAR tends to most almost all the time. And that get me a little ticked.
Wreck it Ralph, one of Brave's competitors, was a much better film (In my opinion), than brave. It was a bit different from what I usually saw and the story line was really enjoyable. As for Brave well...it was ok at some points, much different from an actual Disney film but it had some of the plot lines from Disney films

Examples

• Mother turned into a bear and both mother and daughter learn lesson (the movie Brother Bear)
• Merida (Main character) doesn't want to get married and live her own life (Disney Princess: Belle, Jasmine, and Pocahontas.)

Still I think that the Oscars are in total favor to the PIXAR for some reason.
I haven't been this mad at the Oscars since back on February of 2009 when Wall-e beat Kung Fu Panda.
*if you like the movie please don't get offended. It's an ok film but I just prefer KFP so much better.*

So anyways, Oscars, please oh PLEASE!!!! Stop with the whole PIXAR winning most of the time. There are other good films out there that actually deserve to win.
