I'm still around. Sorry for not updating sooner, I've been duking things out with my school.

At the beginning of the semester, my financial aid said they would pay for my classes, and told the school that. A few weeks ago, I get a call saying I'll have to pay for my classes. Called the campus bookstore, and they showed that I had everything paid..so I called my financial aide, leaving a voice mail telling them that. Figured everything was done with.
Get another call from the financial aid, telling me to call the college. Called, and the woman I spoke to said that I owed $540 or so for my tuition. If I, or the financial aid, didn't get it paid soon, they'd pull my registration...which would effectively kick me out of class, a little more than half way into the semester. Turns out, the Financial aid implemented a new policy. Previously they didn't mind if you only had 7 or 8 semester hours, as long as you made good grades...but they ended up being audited after registration, which they apparently got in trouble for their previous activity. Now they can only pay for 12 or more semester hours. Anything less, they'll pay for books, it seems.
Not only that, the financial aid assumed that I was getting a Pell Grant in time to pay for the classes...which could still be two weeks or more till I know if I'm awarded or not.
To finish the story up quickly? Am I still in class? Yeah, thankfully because my grandmother loaned me the money to cover tuition. I just hope I can get enough from my Pell Grant, if I get one, to pay her back.

I'll try and come up with more stuff quicker in the future.

Well. I'm certainly pissed tonight, and apparently in an ability to break things without wanting to. I broke the peg off the Shockini base that holds the figure on, broke my belt...and now...and now.

My goddamn $200 chair has broken AGAIN. Unforunantly, the place I bought it from..when I had the frame replaced the first time(It started leaned forward at all times, dropping me out of the chair.) has fucking gone out of business...which means I have to trackdown the crapheads that made this chair to get yet another frame replaced...not that I'm really mad about the store closing down, cause when I first had the problem...they said in front of my face that my mom had bought the chair...when I had spent my christmas money and plasma to purchase the damn piece of shit. Bastards.

Anyways, what happened is the "welded" joints on the left side where the recliner area and one of the top support bars broke...so what should I do? Get another frame, or just say to hell with them?

Im trying something

I’m trying something new here. Downloaded that Blogger For Word add-on, and I’m testing it out to see how well it works.  Any who, not much to write tonight, but if you’ve seen my previous Greatest Journal, I went to A-kon 16. I just received a mail saying that there was 10,800 persons in attendance. Where I live, there’s a population of 10,090. Which means there was 710 more persons there, than lives here in town. Wow. No wonder the dealer’s room was closed down for a fire hazard.

Any who, since I haven’t linked the previous journal here yet, if you want to read my adventures to A-kon, and all the other old posts, head over to http://www.greatestjournal.com/users/bluequillsjuuni/

Man. has this day sucked. I won't go too deep into details, but it mostly involves a leaky toilet, and pouring hot soup on my hand. Oh well, at least SNL is giving me a bit of humor today, so I figured I'd do a quick write up and a few pictures.


This picture was originally to show off the "Poze'm" figure. ..then I decided to see how many of the other customizable toys I could get into the same pose. Anwyays, on to a quick writeup of the toy.

Released by a company called "PlayMind" the Poze'm figure has a plastic head, arms, waist and legs. The upper-torso and feet are made of Die-cast metal. It has all the common points of articulation where you'd expect them, but it also has semi-articulated hands. (thumb, index are seperate, and the is one piece.)

I found this guy at BigLots for $4.99, which isn't too bad for a figure that's 6 inches tall, with 32 points of articulation.

Next up on this round up is this little guy here.Cute huh?
Megablocks had recently cancelled their Nanoblocks line up, judging by all the clearance sales I've been seeing, but they Nanoblocks still live on, with these little guys there. It's called Pocket Blocks, they look like they all only have 25 pieces though. they can be found at Wal-Mart(haven't seen them any where else yet.) for 97 cents. Not too bad if you need a building fix.
The other sets in this lineup is an airliner jet, cruise ship, race car, helicopter, bulldozer and the train. They're all pretty cute, but a bit of a quick build. Well recommended.

Anywho, since it's still first of October over here, there's one last thing I must point out.
34 more days till my 23rd birthday, Whoo-hoo!
