They will see us waveing from such great hights

I've almost been a member of Flight Rising for a year and for a good majority of that year I was inactive due to lack of interest. I went back to it during my deadlines because me and my house mates where desperately trying to find ways to procrastinate. You know, like mature adults who don't want to face responsibility.
I've also been a bit "meh" about my grades (a D, D+, C- and a B+... That B+ is the bane of my existance because it was for the module I hated... if anything it's taught me that being an angry gay person up's my grades). Thankfully the week I got the grades back was E3 week and it's VERY hard to be deppressed about my education when I'm getting excited about Mortal Kombat bug ladies and basically everything Nintendo do.
However the E3 hype is wearing off, I'm back at my parents for the summer and I'm at a point of "I have no idea what to do".
Sure I have a summer project to do but I'm going to blissfully ignore that for the time being. And then I found out about the Flight Rising Legacy Challenge. Since I had a spare G1 dragon, I decided it might be nice to give it a go, and in the future may just be what I want to do with the game! Then today, I managed to acquire ANOTHER G1... so I'm going for a double challenge.
My Tumblr tag for Flight Rising tends to be a bit garbled and I know that eventually I'll loose track of this challenge if I limit my endless babbling about it to there. SO, here I am. On dreamwidth. Using my online journal to document my online life rather than my real one... who need's real life anyway, it's just all bad grades and disappointment, the virtual world has dragons and video game news!

So, under the cut I'll introduce my founders, talk about why I chose their mates and the colour range for the babies and then get excited about the prospect of future babbies!!!

 I handed in my last piece of work last Wednesday and since then I've basically been sitting around thinking "What should I do?" and wondering what the hell I did to procrastinate when I was supposed to be working!
Bizarre.

Anyway, that hand in officially signals the end of my second year of university. Next year I'll be a third year and then I'll be graduating. What will I do after I graduate? Cry? Desperately submit CV's and portfolios to animation companies while crying? Try get some freelance commission work going and cry while I do that? I don't know, I do think crying will be involved though.
But hey, I still have another year before I have to think too hard about that! I hope I can find a job that could at least let me support myself in a small apartment or something! I really love living away from home, as much as I love my family. I just feel like I can do so much more. Maybe my current house mates will be interested in sharing an apartment, I know I had a convo with one of them which basically the out come was "The next house we live in we need to be allowed to have pets because cat's are the greatest" so yeah.

Every semester I allow myself to but myself something nice once I've handed in everything. It's sort of necessary since I get so anxious about hand in, I admit back in high school and college I missed a few hand in's because that anxiety got so bad. So now, regardless of what marks I end up getting, I reward myself for actually being able to take a deep breath and facing my fears.
End of last year I got a 3DS, last semester I got a PS3, this semester I didn't have anything big like that I really wanted to I've just sort of let myself have a bit of a spending spree ahaha. I'll stop soon, it's mostly out of my system now. :) I've got quite a few t-shirts I'm waiting to get in the most, 2 MK ones, a He-man shirt, a Hitch-hikers guide shirt and a Firefly shirt. Also awaiting a Sub-Zero phone case.
I also found a really cool shop in our town, got myself a thundercat's t-shirt, key chain, bag and sweat band, a Dr Who wristband, a tiny Freddy Kruger figure thing that clips on to stuff, and my personal favourite, a Skeletor mug. I'll explain my adoration to Skeletor one day, but I don't think now's the time.
Oh also I got a piece of metal shoved through my face in the form of a Monroe piercing. I've wanted one for some time now, so why not. My Mum wasn't too impressed, though I didn't expect her to be, and my Dad merely advised me not to go near any electro-magnets. Awesome.
And then yesterday I got Street Fighter X Tekken and Mortal Kombat VS DC Universe. Both are pretty cool and I have fallen in love with Poison from Street Fighter. 

And that is basically my life right now. Trying desperately to find something to do before I spend more money on nerd shit. Someone please send help!!!
