((Got it. Yeah, I figured it was the same, but I wasn't sure.
Shoni Baker, smashing stereotypes. I love it. I think the only stereotype I'm smashing right now is that high sciencey types can't be good (or decent in my case) at the arts.))

((Indeed.
Ehh, honestly the reason why I haven't tried it has more to do with that I haven't had a good opportunity to rather than I never want to. I used to be to busy with being severely depressed at the time when I was in high school to seek it out. Plus, none of my friends did it, or at least didn't do it that often. Now even though it's all around me (art college, you know, the professors and the students bum joints off each other here) I'm too busy with work and why the fuck would I want to be high during class anyway? I don't understand why my friends smoke during mid-day break, honestly.))

((Probably just the culture. And each generation passing on the tradition, so to speak, and cultural norms and expectations. "It's always been done this way" sort of mindset. Maybe a little bit of addiction too, but I don't think marijuana is highly addictive.))

((Not much. Just got back from another star party I was staffing. Earlier today we celebrated my aunt's birthday by going out to lunch, and then, when my mother, brother, and I went over to my grandmother's house to help move rock salt to her basement, we stepped into her greenhouse for a moment because it was 80 degrees F out there when it was about -2 degrees F outside. And we accidentally locked ourselves in there. xD It was alright though, my grandparents weren't that far behind us on the road, so they let us out once they got home. Then I saw the movie Hidden Figures, which was really good.))

((It felt like a busy week. There was something wrong with my online graduation requirement report that I saw on Monday, so I set up a meeting with my advisor on Thursday to go over it, and it was stressful waiting until that time. Everything's good now though, its an error on their side which they said they will fix (I hope).
And lol, yeah, I honestly had no idea that the door would lock behind me! Not that it was bad being trapped in a toasty room, but its a very small greenhouse. It was cramped with just us three in it.
Oh, I also forgot to return the question, anything new with you?))

((That's good you got it fixed. Honestly, at this point I can barely handle shit like that. I know I need to meet with an academic advisor (everyone does as a general at least once) and even that I'm stressed about. The school also can't give me a specific date as to which I can sign up for spring classes and I'm stressing about that too.
I'm okay. I'm just trying to get my life back together, trying to finally use this opportunity to pick the pieces of my existence back up and put them back together. Because the school is dumb and scheduled all the second years horribly, I'm going to go from having five fucking studio classess (which is comparable to a "lecture and lab" class in terms of work load and stuff, I believe) to just ONE studio and two lecture classes, which are usually a breeze more or less. I'm hoping I won't waist this opportunity to try and finally start managing my life. I'm hoping to get a job, have started to set up an online store to sell my artwork from (Not really sure how to market though, trying to figure that out next), am hoping to finish all my doll projects, am starting to lose weight and take care of my body and my appearance again (I have a hard time accomplishing things that don't have a set focus and goal at the end, so, I've promised myself when I get back down to 105 I'll buy myself a custom corset and get back into waist training, and it's really working out having that goal in mind set), start getting into the habit of regularly cleaning my apartment, and just in general, start actually living instead of being in this never ending hole of homework and sadness.))

((Those are good goals to have. I'm starting to look at new jobs and see what else I might be interested in, since there isn't a lot to do with space exploration here in my state. I've been eyeing science writing and technical writing though, or maybe some sort of data analyst, but even if I graduate early in the spring, I think I would still need more experience before I started applying for jobs like that. Maybe I should be looking more at internships. I've also gotten back on track with losing weight, but my ideal weight is a long ways to go, so I've broken it up into 8 week increments. I feel like I'm not going anywhere fast enough though, even though losing weight in a healthy manner is a gradual process and its only the fifth day of my plan, so I'm irrationally worried I won't make my first 8 week goal. Meh. Just frustrating on my part, I guess.))

((Eh, I'm just trying to get a retail or cashier sort of job honestly. Something to help me accumulate my own funds again. This is the first time I've ever had no money of my own to spend on what I want, and there's also been a lot of tension between my parents and I because they like to punish me for insisting on eating healthy and having to spend more money then my brother who only buys thing if they're frozen and on sale at walmart (No, really.) It's just so infantilizing to have to beg my parents for enough money to buy more shampoo. They're being so awful about it, and holding me now on a tighter leash then they did when I still lived with them in terms of money because they're hyper aware of it now having to send it to me all the time. It's degrading, honestly. I should have never let them convince me not to work a stable job in highschool. I don't think either of them are doing it intentionally, but, I really feel that they're (at least, subconsciously) taking any steps they can to keep me codependent. My father has overt control issues to the point that he makes ridiculous threats of cutting me off financially/kicking me out of the house, or of breaking, burning, selling, cutting, or overall taking away things I love as means to try and get me to fall in line, especially when it comes to spending money. I've learned at this point that these threats are and always have been empty, meaningless, tough guy talk, but there's still come sort of internal trigger left over from the days when I was young and would do things like stay up all night because dad had threatened to cut off all my hair while I was asleep for dying it blue that just makes just want to rip my face off from the stress still when he says he's going to pull me from school for getting a piercing he doesn't like with the little money I have left over from the last time I worked or some shit like that. My mother on the other hand is coddling and clingy and flip-flops from making it rain and being ridiculously stingy and unreasonably cheap. She also gets pissy if I ask for money for something she doesn't personally like or use or understand.))

((Meh, go with the flow. That's my thoughts at the moment. As soon as we figure out the flow for sure, we'll be good to go. In fact))
Roger went to find Finley.

((Not really. Just being as lazy as humanly possible over my break.
Speaking of the break, if there's something you guys really want to do involving Ben, I'd highly suggest that we get to it within the next week or so, cause after that I have no idea how much I'll be on.))
