Tryin' out some other journal skins. Figured it was about time for an update, considering I'm working on the fifth chapter of Origins and that was a peek at the third.

And - if anyone doesn't know it yet - I GOT ACCEPTED INTO SAVANNAH COLLEGE OF ART AND DESIGN!!!!!!! SOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!! I got accepted into the honors program, and I am currently in the process of trying to take care of the proper finances, housing, and fine print before I head up there at the beginning of 2010, as well as try to get an additional scholarship........so I probably won't be on dA as much as I have been. But again.......I'm SOOOOOOOO HAPPY!!!!!!!!

Anyhoo, on to the fun stuff.

EDIT: Movie quiz!!! Swiped from

- <3 what you love
- X what you saw
- O what you haven't finished or saw sizable portions
- Y what you haven't seen but want to see
- Leave unchanged if neutral (in this journal entry, if it has a [ ] in front, it means I haven't seen it before)

I think it's safe to say that movie only won because of its BLATANT and rather ABRUPT political statement. Story-wise and character-wise, I don't think it has ANYTHING on Cars.)
