Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Recently I sent in an application to the new anime review podcast, Anime TV to be one of their on site reviewers. (As far as I can tell it is unpaid, but as long as I get some experience I hardly care.) Just this past week I received a reply from them saying that I could submit reviews! They pick from a selection of the ones sent in for each series to post on their site, so it is still not guaranteed that I will get put up on a legitimate website, but at least this is a start. I'm going to write up reviews for a couple of the shows they listed in the email (ParaKiss, Bleach) and send them in this week. Cross your fingers for me!

I signed into Gaia this morning, and found this PM in my in box.



No. No no no no no. I hate these PMs. Damn people that just want a freebee, that don't seem to even realize that if I am wearing the item that I like it, and that I wouldn't just give it away to someone, least of all some little begger b***h who I don't even know. Does this person not even realize how rude this is? Does he not even care? Jesus.

What do you say to a friend that hates her life, when you know that you know that you love just about everything about your own, and she knows that too?

I had an IM from my mother when I returned to my room yesterday. Looks like my Gram is back home, and she's doing a little bit better. Over all, I'm just glad she's out of the hospital. I feel like I can breath a little easier now.

I know I haven't posted in this journal in, like, a year or so, but Livejournal no longer gets along with my school's network, and dear god if I don't need to vent.

About a week ago I was talking to my great-grandmother on the phone. She was telling me about how she had a virus, and wasn't feeling very good. I was worried, but I didn't think much of it. I mean, at almost 90 this woman lives alone, perfectly capable of taking care of herself while still somehow being able to make enough baked goods to feed a starving army. I just figured she would be getting over it soon.

My mother called me this morning to tell me that Gram is in the hospital. She still has the virus, and they aren't sure exactly what is wrong with her. My mom went to go see her, and said that though she might be home in a few days, she looked very weak. For possibly the first time I really truly realized, "Gram is old." As soon as I hung up with mom I started to cry.

I don't want her to go away. There are still so many things I said I would do with her that I haven't. We still have to make muffins. I want her to show me how to crochet. I want to go to her house and talk with her, and make up for all those times I should have gone to see her, but just didn't, because I somehow believed that she would always be right there. I hope she gets better soon, so I can at least tell her how much I love her.

~I have my club now
I have my club now~

Only took them forever, but I finally received permission to start my anime club! It's just temporary status--I need to have a list of members and I think officers by the 29th--but at least it's finally going somewhere.

I have decided to do NaNoWriMo this year. I am such a stupid crazy wench >.<

I have a website now! I got the idea to do one after reading an answer to a letter in the Answerman column on Anime News Network. In it the person asked what he would have to do to get a job at an anime magazine like Newtype or Anime Insider. In the answer, he was told that the best way to get a job is to have samples of your writing doing reviews and such, and that the best way to do it is online doing things like columns for anime news network, or even just your own website or blog. Hence the birth of my site. There is nothing on it now, just a welcome, but I am working on a review and will probably get it up by the end of the week. I'd appreciate if you guys would check it and tell me how I'm doing once it's all set ^^
