Recently,

I've watched two really great documentaries on two really amazing writers. My two favorite, in fact. Thank you Orange County Public Library System for making this all possible.
I also took out Persepolis and Coffee & Cigarettes. I'm sure I'll watch those in the coming days.

My trip to Georgia was alright. My step sister got arrested the night before I arrived for underage drinking at a party she was at. So my arrival was overshadowed by her misfortune, making my trip rather boring. The date for the Buddy Walk was announced while I was there though, which is exciting. I most plan on going this year, possibly with Dylan. I've missed it the past few years because of arguments and resentment towards my father - but the Buddy Walk isn't about him, it's about Victoria and all the other beautiful children with downs syndrome. I love my baby sister more than most things, and most definitely more than I hate my father.

And spending so much time with Victoria this weekend made me see that I really do want to be an Elementary School art teacher. I can't think of something I'd like more than that. I love kids so much, and I feel the same way about creating art - so the combination of the two sounds amazing.

Also, it is final now that I am indeed going to be attending The Fest 8 this year. I am so very happy about this. I already have $60 for the ticket put away, and another $20 for the hotel room. I need to keep collecting until October though to pay for the rest of the room, gas, food, ect. I'm not sure if Dylan or anyone else who said they're going actually will be able to go in the end. But I hope everything works out. I'd die if I missed This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb and Defiance, Ohio again. I'd absolutely die.
