So, I got rejected from CalArts, which I was expecting and which I'm immediately only mildly disappointed about (I'm sure my self-confidence in my art will slowly dwindle to nothing during the next few days, though, and it'll probably take me a couple of weeks to work back up the courage to decide I'm going to keep trying and apply again next year), but what pissed me off on levels you can only imagine is the fact that my mom opened the rejection letter before I even got to see it. As Court succinctly put it: "That's fucked up."

I'll forgive her if only because my dad was on my side too and told her how bad it was for her to do (this was after my mom and I both yelled at each other and I retreated to my room), and she apologized and it was the first college acceptance/rejection mail one of her kids ever got, but still. Dude. Not cool. And there's no fucking way to try to justify it, which she didn't seem to GET at first. I was THIS close to making some huge-fonted, angry, letter-formatted LJ entry, which as many of you might know, I hardly ever make about my personal life nowadays. :/

In any case, my dad got me In 'N' Out to make up for it. <3 (My mom, I mean, not the rejection. Though maybe both. XD;)

GOOD LUCK TO wyna_hiros, THO. <333 I swear, if you don't get in, I'm like. Giving up right here and now. D: XD;

In other, happier news, loreamara showed me this awesome new blog site called Tumblr, which is basically a more informal (but EXTREMELY pretty) online scrapbook, with a bunch of posting options that'll easily allow you to input random stuff you come across--like links, quotes, pictures, videos, and it even has an option to auto-format IM conversations for you. It's like a blog for all the random shit you wish you could post to LJ but don't want to spam your flist with. :D I highly encourage that you just sign up for one and check it out; I was dubious about how useful it could be until I actually started fiddling with the posting options and found it to be a ton of fun. 8D As you can see, I tried out like... one of each type of post, at my tumblr over at lacidiana. If you decide to get one, please tell me your Tumblr username over here so I can add you to my manual friends-list. <3 IT'S REALLY COOL, PPLZ. And the fact that there isn't a way to make comments on anything makes it kind of... low-stress, low-pressure, if that makes any sense? XD; I dunno. Edit: Oh, also, since it's a new site, a BUNCH of high-demand names aren't taken yet. Like "hughes." I took Hughes. >_>;

Oh, and due to people bugging me about it, I got a Facebook too. XD I can be one of the losers who has one even though I'm not in college, haha. I think I like Tumblr better, tho. >_>;

ANYWAY, that's it. (Ugh, I want to go to college already. ._.)

Edit: Ugh, okay, so maybe I'm a little depressed. (Which is stupid because to think I'd ever get in is... pretty stupid in and of itself.) I kinda feel like doing something to distract myself, like starting off MGS2 (I beat TS last night) or.... sleeping. x_x;

OKAY, OKAY, so I changed my Tumblr to HUGHES.tumblr.com. Court made me. D: XD;

And thanks for the supportive comments, guys. <3 I'll respond to you once I uhm. Gather up the emotional energy. 8D BUT THANK YOU <3
