and to continue...

While waiting for Misha's panel to begin, I looked into the autograph room and saw MISHA come up to talk to the boys, and he gave Danneel a hug. It was awesome (seeing Misha) but then the doors were closed and I couldn't catch anymore.

The woman right behind Misha who's really blurry is Danneel

After their autographs, it was Misha's panel….and let me tell you, I am now not just a fan of Misha's, but a MASSIVE FAN!!! HE'S FANTABULOUS!!!! XD He was so funny, and he definitely had a sailor's mouth on him. He talked about his experience on Charmed and 24, and talked about how about 2 years ago he took his godson to Alyssa Manilo's box at a baseball game and when he introduced his godson to her, the first thing the kid said was that Misha breastfed until he was 6!!!!!!! Yeah, the audience literally couldn't stop laughing. Misha also said he banned his godson from talking to anyone at the con…XP

Other highlights:

-He totally called Castiel a **** and said that whenever he saw a fight scene in the script, he would imagine how it would go, and then he would go film the version where Castiel gets b!tchslapped and immediately crumbles to the floor…XP

- He said that he, Jensen, and Jared hang out together naked in the trailers…XD

- He also said he has 2 turtles that completely hate each other and "it's depressing because they only ever see each other. What am I going to do? I'm not going to mediate." Totally cracked me up…XD

- When asked if he had been pranked, he said that he had not and that Jared told him it was because "I'm too fragile…well, the word he used was gay…" XP

- Misha also said that the angels get a bit sketchier in the upcoming episodes…o_O…can't wait!

- He talked about how J2 really set the mood for the SN set, and how SN crew is the best he has ever worked with. He told a story about how for one of the last episodes of this season, the set was stressed because they were behind schedule, and the director snapped on set and was like, "come on! LET'S GO! We need to get this done!" and Misha said Jensen immediately went to the director and was like, "Hey, calm down. We're all going the fastest we can," basically dissipating the tension.

General Misha pics:

Him thinking

I swear, this position right here made him look like he constantly had to pee...so many of my pics have him doing this same thing…XP

After Misha's panel, there were the photo ops. My friend was totally freaking out because she's totally in love with this man. Right before we reached him, he looked over at us and grinned, and then we looked at each other to see what he was possibly grinning at and realized we were both waiting in the same exact position (hands held in front of us with our legs crossed over one another)…it was pretty funny. Anyway, we walked up to him and he smiled at us both. The picture was taken and then he slightly rubbed my back and said thank you, and I was like, "I think that's my line!" XP

I went back to the panel area and caught the end of Steve's panel. Not much to say about that…and the autographs started! At this point, I was seriously dead tired. It was already 7 pm, and I had been down at the convention for over 10 hours with no real breaks. I was literally falling asleep but then Matilda came to the rescue and wanted me to make the funny faces, so I did, and time really flew by! When I reached Misha for the autograph, his mom called him and he had to tell her he was busy and would call her back…it was an adorable exchange. He signed my poster and I asked to shake his hand, so I gotta touch him again…hehe…he also looked at me and was like "I like your pigtails? Ponytails?" and I was like, "Braids?" and then he was like, "Yup, that's what they're called..." and then started to laugh. After that, I just had to wait to pick up pictures…which is a whole other story.

Just some other random little facts: Kripke was supposed to come to this con, along with the big possibility of Sera Gamble and Ben Edlund, but they were all at the wrap party in Vancouver since SN had just wrapped up production for the season. Sad.

Other funny little stories: During Charles Malik Whitfield's panel, he was asked how it was to have his face dunked in a toilet…he was like, "I thought I left that all behind" and that he really thought SN people liked him…but that Jensen just slammed his head into the toilet, and when Jensen lifted his head from the toilet, Malik was like, "Jensen, you've changed!!!!" before Jensen slammed his head back into the toilet…XP

During Richard Speight's panel, he said that constantly while on set, Jensen and jared will be in jensen's trailer hanging out, and the crew will just hear a random "DAMN!T JARED!!!" and the crew will never know what happened…just that something went wrong, most likely because of Jared…XD…

And during Samantha Smith's panel, she said that the angels were too self-righteous and just teased you with the fact that they know information but won't tell you, just like little kids. She made some funny faces with this…^__^

self-righteous angels…

Angels are such teases…XP

Anyway, this report has become waaaaaaay longer than I intended it to be, and now I still have to go unpack and do my reading before getting up for my early morning lecture.-__-…anyway, hope you all enjoyed and I'll let you know if I remember any more stories!

~DG

ps: Here's my Jared photo op:

I don' have Jensen's or Misha's yet, so that'll come later......

Ok, I'm just going to give you the highlights because I really don't have the time to write an extensive report about the LA con, but I also don't want to leave you guys hanging, so here you go:

I only had the silver package, so I didn't go to the Sunday breakfast, but my friend and I still went down at about 9 AM to wait in line for Jensen's photo op line. We were pretty early so we were in the first row of people waiting for his turn. As we were sitting there, there was a moment I like to now call my "Jensense" acted up. I was sitting there with the stage right in front of me with the black curtains. All of I sudden, I was like, "Jensen is here", but my friend was like, "uh, no he's not." And I just said, "I hear his voice. Wait for it…" And not 5 seconds later Jensen walks by behind the see-through black curtains with Jared right behind him and the security guards following. After they walked out the doors, my friend and the other girl sitting next me both turn to me and say, "whoa…freaky…" and I was just like, "yeah, I'm awesome"…XP

Anyway, I waited for the photo op and when we finally went to take it with Jensen, I was near the front which in retrospect wasn't that great because he wasn't into the mood at the time so my picture with his seems very formal, but he was still nice. I feel like such a loser because after the pic, my friend asked Jensen for a hug which he gave her, and then he turned to me as if to give me a hug, but I totally froze up (and God, I still feel like such a dork for doing this), and do you know what I said? "That's ok, I'm good," AND WALKED AWAY FROM THE MAN!!!!! CRAZY, RIGHT?!?!?!?!!? He was willing and offering a hug, and I turned it down. *Facepalm* I epically failed. -__-

After the Jensen photo op, I got in line for Jared's photo op and ended up waiting for like 2 hours…it sorta sucked…but alas, the moment finally came. I took this pic alone, and wasn't too nervous. Right before I reached Jared for the pic, Jared got rid of the stool because it was annoying him, so I got him standing in my pic. Let me say, the man is pretty cute in person…^_^…I walked up and stood next to him, and he put his arm around me. The picture was taken and I was off!

After that, I met up with my two friends and we went to go wait for Jensen's panel to begin. (Side note: There was a 6-year-old girl sitting directly in front of us two rows ahead but the people in between our rows never appeared, so this girl was turned around her chair staring at us for the entire weekend, bored out of her mind. After first it was a bit disconcerting, but I got over it and ended up making funny faces for the ENTIRE weekend…I even taught her how do Sam's Hand of Ipecac…I was pretty hilarious…don't worry this little girl ties into J2). When Jensen finally came on stage, he came on pretending to play the guitar and just rockin out on stage.

He was hilarious and just awesome in general. As of right now, I can't remember everything that was discussed, but I do have some stories:

-Someone asked what the fans can do to help the show and J2, and Jensen said to just continue what we were doing, like wearing shirts with his face on it because as he said, "Dang it, that's gratification right there!" and he also said to tell your friends to tell their friends…

-A lady asked if Jensen could tell a story about Jared that would describe the type of person Jared is, and Jensen was like, "let's see; let me go through my files here…" and then he said, and I quote, "I can pretty much tell you a story of any aspect of Jared. I can tell you when he gets angry, how he is; I can tell you when he gets sad how he is; I can tell you when he gets in a fight with a girlfriend how he is…." It was adorable. He then when on to tell a funny story about how Jensen one time showed Jared the "pull my finger" trick and now Jared won't stop doing it. He says in between shots, all the time, Jared will just turn to him with this silly grin and stick out his finger, expecting Jensen to pull his finger. XD

- Jensen was also asked if it was hard doing funny scenes without cracking up, and Jensen said not usually. He said it's harder not to crack up on screen when he can see Jared laughing off. He gave an example of when he has to do a really emotional scene and Jared will be standing behind the camera. During the take, Jared will fart, and he will then proceed to turn his face away from Jensen and try really hard not to burst out laughing. So Jensen said there are a lot of scenes of Jensen saying his lines to the back of Jared's head as Jared tries to muffle his laughter…XP

reenacting what he sees from jared when filming his scenes

- Jensen was asked about the scar he acquired from Lazarus Rising, and he said he got it during the gas station scene when all the glass blew out because Kim wanted to use real glass and Jensen had to do shots of him landing on the floor so his arms got all scraped up and bloody, and Jen said when that happened he just turned to Kim and said, "REALLY?! I'm bleeding now! Happy?!" and Kim just said, "yeah. Now go get cleaned up; I need you for the next scene." Jensen said he would always have that scar as a memory of Kim...It was a nice story, but after telling it, Jensen sorta sounded like he got hung up in it and just moved on, as if he didn't really feel up to discussing the loss of Kim (But it was nice that every time Kim was mentioned, he got a huge round of applause, and Alona Tal asked for a moment of silence and got really choked up when talking about him).

- Someone asked what helps Jensen keep going, especially in this season where he had so many emotional scenes. Jensen went on to say that the support of the fans really helped as well as cocaine. Everyone started laughing, and then he was like, "Kidding, Kidding….Crack," which just made people laugh harder. After the question Jensen was like, "Don't do drugs!" XD He also mentioned he has no projects this summer (and neither does Jared) and that he just plans to attend the cons with Jared and fit in vacations in those countries.

- Jensen was asked about how he feels always having to wear the silly costumes on the show. He said that he met the new writer who wrote yellow fever and some other ones who came up to him and apologized for dreaming of Jensen dressed up in all these crazy outfits, before realizing that Jensen is a grown man who then has to actually wear these costumes. XD

- Most awkward question was actually Jensen's last one, and it wasn't even a real question. A woman came up to the mic and was like, "we see in Route 666 that Dean comes down with Jungle fever," and Jensen, looking all kinds of awkward is like, "well, I think dean just has Girl fever" but the woman wouldn't stop and continued to say "true, but this time around you got down with the black ones." Jensen still tried to lighten the question and was like, "Dean doesn't see color; he sees girl," and then the woman goes, "yeah, but you know what they say: once you go black, you never go back!" And at this point Jensen has nothing to say to get out of the awkwardness but Jared saves the day because he comes out to "bring Jensen coffee" and then changes spots with him to do his solo panel. Jensen stands up and starts doing this dance thing with Jared while singing, "we got jungle fever, we got jungle fever" and then dances off the stage. It was a pretty nice save.

dancing about "Jungle fever"

So now it was Jared's turn for his solo panel. Some highlights from that:

-Jared was suffering from baby fever, I swear. There was a baby in the audience and jared heard it, and he was like, "Is there a cat meowing?!" and then the audience responded it was a baby, where Jared then proceeded to freak out and got this crazy grin on his face, and was like, "HEY BABY! How old is Baby?" The mom said "9 months" and then Jared says, "When was baby born" and literally the audience just gave him this look and we're all like, "9 MONTHS AGO!" XD Jared is all embarrassed for asking such an obvious question, so he goes on to ask the same question in a gazillion different ways to make it funnier…it was hilarious…XD At one point the mom was taking the baby out because it was crying at Jared noticed and he was like, "Where are you taking Baby? Stop, SEIZE HER! BRING BABY BACK!" It was freakin hilarious like no other…

Jared's face when he saw Baby…XP

- Jared was then asked how hard was it to work left-handed in The Christmas Cottage as Thomas Kinkade, and he proceeded to say he was basically a "gimp" with his left hand and can't do anything with it. A left-handed artist was brought on set to help Jared, but Jared said the man just kept on saying, "nope. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. No, " with every way Jared used his left hand. He then turned to the audience and was like, "Any lefties?" and about 30 of us (yup, I'm a leftie!) raised our hands and he did a power fist pump in the air and then proceeded to say into the mic, "FREAKS!!!!" meh, used to hearing that one…XP

Then it was time for the duo panel. Highlights:

-Jensen did this thing where he pretended to control the audience, so he raised his hands and we all cheered and then lowered them and we all stopped. He smirked at jared and then did it a couple of more times. Jared, not wanting to be outdone, nudges Jensen and is like "watch this" and then turned to the audience and was like, "where are all my lefties?!" and we raise our hands and then Jared turns back to Jensen as if to show that he totally won, but Jensen looked at him and just had this look on his face that clearly said he was not impressed. It then became a thing between them to manipulate the audience. At one point, Jensen made fun of Jared's hair, saying that it needs to be cut, thinking that the audience would cheer for this, but the audience was like, "NOOOOOOOOO!!! We love the hair!!!!" and Jared just smirks at Jensen and was like, "That sorta backfired…"…XP

- FUNNIEST QUESTION EVER (AND MOST RANDOM): A man went up to the mic and asked if the boys had ever had a stuffed Pickle with Fried rice…funny thing was, it wasn't even that funny…but Jared COMPLETLEY lost it laughing, and Jensen was laughing SO FREAKIN HARD he had to hide his face in his forearm and literally wiped away tears from his eyes…and watching the boys lose it so completely, the audience started to laugh uncontrollably…let's just say it was some crazy times in that room for a few minutes…and once Jensen finally controlled the tears and laughter, he was like, "I haaaaaaaate pickles…" and Jared was like to the audience, "who likes pickles?!" and a whole bunch of people raised their hands and then Jensen was like, "You disgust me…..I haaaaaaate pickles…" XD

first reaction to the pickle question…

Jensen having to wipe away the tears…XP

- At one point, a person dressed at the teddy bear in Wishful Thinking showed up (post- suicide attempt) and J2 lost it over that one as well…they were like, "this is the craziest thing to happen…" but Jared was like, "not to me…"…XP

- The boys were asked if they have experienced anything supernatural, and jared turned to Jensen and said "you", like to make Jensen answer, but Jensen was like, "Yeah, I'm out of this world…" It was pretty hilarious…

- ANOTHER FUNNY MOMENT: A woman brought a picture with her and asked if Jared could explain the circumstances behind it. Jensen went to grab it from the security guard, and when he looked at it, he almost lost it all over again. Like, he looked at jared and was like, "there better be a good story behind this one." He then asked for the camera to zoom into his hand and showed the picture of a shirtless jared wearing a cowboy hat and kissing a rooster, or whatever the heck it was. Jared literally was like, "WHERE DID YOU GET THAT?!?!?!" and was like, "HOW?!" Jensen just shook his head and was like, "I am so ashamed of you right now" and then proceeded to stick the picture on the inside of his shirt front and said, "I'm going to get a lot of mileage out of this one…"XD Jared explained that the pic was from Ft13 and he said he couldn't remember it much but that it was very early in the morning and he wasn't thinking clearly.

- at the end when the boys signed the banners on the stage, Jensen was annoyed that Jared signed so high up, so he grabbed his chair and stood on it so his signature could be higher, and Jared then walked over and pretended to kick the chair down…pretty funny

General pics:

Anyway, I know there was way more, but I really can't remember the rest of J2 panels right now.

As for autographs, they took forever and the con was running late. Jensen was supposed to leave at 4:30, but he was trying to finish all the autopgraphs so his line was being really rushed so everyone could reach him. Jared's line was longer since he wasn't in a rush. Oh and Danneel was there, sitting behind Jensen for the autographs. I heard from another con-goer that they had a little bit of a spat over Danneel signing a TIH DVD, but my experience was better. I actually didn't notice her until I reached the table for Jared's line after getting Jensen's. I looked over at Jensen and saw Danneel, and I totally spazzed out because even though I don't watch One Tree Hill anymore, she was still Rachel from the show! So I thought I was calm about it and I turned to my friends and was like, "DUDE! It's Rachel from OTH!!!" and she must of heard because she looked up (from looking completely bored at whatever she was doing on her phone) and smiled over at me, as did Jensen! Guess I wasn't so chill about it…XD

When I reached jared, I asked to shake his hand and he did, and then winked at me. Pretty nice fellow..XP

But now here is the story of the little girl I made funny faces with during the weekend: (We nicknamed her Matilda because she looked like Matilda from the movie) When her mom reached jensen's table, Matilda hid behind her mom, and Jensen leaned over and waved at her and was smiling, trying to get her to come over to him, but she continued to hide. When the mom reached jared, she still hid, and Jared turned to Jensen and was like, "we got a hider" and then they both proceeded to get her out from behind her mom. Jensen was like, "I seeeeeee yoooooou……I seeeeeee yoooooooooouu". It was pretty adorable….hehe…^_^

oh man...today was entertaining........so I took the bus after my spanish class to go see Ft13, and this was around 11, but the movie didn't start til 1. So I get to the shopping center and decide to kill some time, so I write a letter, send a birthday card to my sister, stuff like that.


then before I actually go into the movie, I decide to go get some chipotle...*sigh*...so I'm walking by and this guy standing outside the store right next to chipotle lunges at me and is like "do you have a minute to save a child's life?" usually I'm able to get by this, but I had already got by with the same situation yesterday, and I felt guilty doing it again, so I was like sure. Big mistake. the guy goes on and on...and then wants me to sign up to give money monthly, but I really can't afford to do that. I try to tell him I can't but he won't take no for a freakin answer. And you have to know me: he was working, and I was about to sign my life (via money) away...the only thing that saved me? Thinking about the convention and J2's faces in a little over a month, and the fact that I wouldn't be able to afford it if I gave over my credit card information...so I finally get away after telling him I have no money...and then realize I can't get chipotle anymore....because I just told the guy asking me to save the children that I'm completely broke...T.T....but I really wanted chipotle....I was SPLURGING today! But i felt too guilty so I went into Ralphs to get a very lame sandwich, but after waiting 10 minutes and still not being served, I said "screw it, I want chipotle!"

this is where it gets interesting...I waited until the guy started talking to another person and made a run for the chipotle door, making it in without being detected. Problem was, when I tried to leave he was pointed in the direction of Chipotle, and the movie was going to start in 10 minutes....oh the dilemma....but thank god for little old women who couldn't outrun him because he ambushed a woman and then I totally booked it out of chipotle, ducking behind a wall so that he wouldn't see me. And that is how I got chipotle today. it was good.

but now on to the movie....let's just say that I was creeped out. I went to a matinee showing and I walked into the theater and do you know who's in there???

yeah, NO ONE but me and 2 REALLY creepy looking men sitting in the back. It was like the beginning of my very own horror story...no one would care about someone screaming in the theater, since they wouls realize that it was from Ft13 movie......anyway, I take a seat and just sit there, too afraid to move around, regretting going to this movie alone, but all my friends are pansies...*sigh*... I just sit there. It's dead silent. I try to take out my chipotle, but it was REALLY loud...so I waited for commericals.

as for the actual movie, it was okay...definitely moments where I jumped, and Jason definitely got creative in the way he killed people, but I didn't care for the ending, just because it really didn't make sense, but do horror films ever really do?

Anyway, I got back to school (after missing 2 BUSES) and then got online to tell all you fine folk about my day....

~DG

hey guys!

So I feel like NOT doing some homework right now, and instead have decided to write this blog of randomness. Like literally. I have nothing to really say, so I'm just going to ramble for a bit and then post a whole bunch of miscalleneous pictures that I find freakin hilarious to bits...

First of all, just wanted to say that I finally declared a major!!!! I had some issues with the family (my twin was there for basically all the drama....thanks a bunch Twin!!!! ) but in the end, everyone is fine and I'm happy. I've decided to major in international studies-political science with a minor in environmental studies. I'm really psyched about it and happy that I can go into two topics that really interest and excite me.

In other news, I was able to work out my money issues with the school. Because my tuition had already been paid for the quarter and the school got the money after that, they only took money to pay some random bills I had, and then directly sent me a check with the leftover, no longer making me the very poor college student that was literally living with only $13 bucks in her wallet, $11 of that saved for an ENTIRE MONTH so that she could go see MBV 3D....

Okay, my favorite singer right now? A Fine Frenzy, or Alison Sudol. Like, there is one thing I can thank One Tree Hill for. They played one of her songs on their show last season, which then made me buy like 3 of her songs, which I listened to over and over for an entire year. Then about a month ago I was looking through my music and decided to check out the rest of her music and ended up buying her entire album on iTunes, and also falling in love with her voice and music. Her voice is so authentic, she plays the piano and guitar, she writes her own lyrics, and she's just awesome. I'm listening to her right now Fave songs: You Picked Me, Rangers, Ashes and Wine, Choosey Lover...oh heck, I love them all!!!! Definitely check her out!

Well, that's about it for now. I'm now going to give you guys a whole bunch of pictures that I find completely hilarious and have made the backgrounds to my laptop, making me crack up everytime I look at them...

here ya go:

and as a little bonus trivia question, can anyone tell me what this is from? (Hint: It's in England)

I totally want to visit this place, because the art display looks so hauntingly beautiful (and slightly creepy), and it'd be a nice sidetrip if I ever go visit Europe...

well, that really is it about now. Hope you enjoyed my random update blog, and I hope some of the pics I posted made you laugh.

~DG

PS: Can't believe I have to wait until March 5 until a brand new episode of SN...oh well, I'm going to go watch Ft13 this Friday, so that'll help some...*sigh*

man, it's been 2 months since I've written a blog, but honestly, I'm so pissed off right now/having such a bad day that I figured it was either write it all out or end up blowing up at someone. That's how I know I'm pissed off more than I ever have been: Thoughts of cussing someone out, which I've NEVER done...

Anyway, today was my first day of winter quarter at UCSD, and it all started out fair enough. Woke up at 6:15 am and went to my chem class in the morning. I already knew this class was going to be more intense than last quarter's chem class but I had this same professor last quarter and enjoyed him, so I'm at least ok with thie class being harder. After class I had breakfast, still doing good.Then I go to my spanish class and this is where it all started going to hell.

I was crazy to think I could take so many intense classes at one time. Reading all the crap I have to do for this class, it's going to take up all my freakin time! And this is after my chem teacher said we would have to devote extra time to chem. And I already know my 2 other classes are going to be time-consuming as well. So Now I think I'm never going to see the light of day unless it's to go to another torturous class......

After the horrendous class, I had an hour before my next class so I decided to go buy the rest of my books. That was pretty crappy, but what really pissed me off is that I had to buy a custom workbook at some random student store that was across campus and I couldn't put it off since I already have a load of homework for spanish(figures, right?) so I go across campus and then realize I don't even know where this stupid place is and was thoroughly pissed off when I found a sign directing me to it and when I reached the "destination" it told me that the place had moved.......I end up finding it but only have 25 minutes before my next class, but I think I have time. Nope, I didn't. I waited in line for 30 minutes and ended up being 10 minutes late for my chem discussion class. I practically had to run all the way back across to the other side of campus and walk into the class, sit down, take "notes" for about 5 minutes before the TA decides to let us go early....WTF?!?!?! I literally almost killed myself to get to the class and he did NOTHING. HE DIDN'T EVEN TAKE ATTENDANCE which was my whole motivation to even get to the class....

After this I'm pretty pissed off, but I still need to talk to someone about some check dilemma I'm having. I received some money from the government and it was given to me in 2 different checks. When I cashed the first one in August, there was no problem. So I did the same thing I did last time and deposited the check into my bank account, only to have a copy of the check returned to me saying that I need UCSD to endorse the check before they can deposit the check. I go the the Registrar's office, who then direct me to the Cashier's office, who then direct me to Student Business Services who then politely tell me that they don't endorse checks that way and that the original check needs to be sent to them and then they will add the money to my student account. Well, by this time I just feel like crying because it's taken over an hour and I don't want to put money in my student account because this won't give me money to buy my books and transportation needs through other ways other than buying overpriced books at the school bookstore. Then I tell them that I don't have the original check anymore and that the bank included a LEGAL COPY THAT FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES IS THE NEW CHECK. BUt noooooooooooo....that's not good enough. They tell me to call the bank and tell them to send the original check to the school who will then deposit money in my stuent account and screw me over.

What scares me about this is that I literally emptied out my own banking account buying school books and stuff like that the last week of school before break with the assurance that my account would be replenished with this check. So now I'm going to have "money" that I won't need for another 10 weeks since everything has been paid for the quarter through the school while I am now personally without ANY money except for the $13 bucks in my wallet and $30 bucks in my account.

After all this, I walk back to my dorm feeling like I should never have gotten out of bed today. Before I went to my room I picked up books that I had bought in cheaper ways that had been mailed to me. So when I reach my suite door and find it locked while I have 4 packages and 4 books in my arms, I lose it. No joke. I almost burst out crying.I I find my keys, drop everything to the floor and finally get to my room where I then re-drop everything on the ground, get in my bed, curl up in the fetal position and go to sleep, hoping that round 2 of me waking up today will go better.

Yeah, no such luck. I wake up 2 hours later a bit refreshed but still hating the fact that I now need to call my bank. I call them, wait for 10 minutes on hold, tell the woman on the line my situation, and then get ready to cry again when she tells me that since 9/11, all financial institutions destroy things like checks once they go through the system and only provide legal copies. *insert me cursing 9/11 for screwing me over once again like it usually does when ever I have to work with bureaucracies* I tried to explain to her that UCSD refused to accept the copy of the check, where she then decides to refute this and say no they didn't because that copy IS the new check, as if I think it would be funny to pretend that UCSD is really being that stupid. When I continue to tell her I did everything she's telling me to do (show the school the check that says it's legal along with the nice letter the bank sent with the check) she then tells me that if the school won't accept it then I'll have to contact the maker of the check and ask them to resend a new check. GREAT. I don't even have a number for the people who gave me the check. They just send me a check that says CONGRATULATIONS!. The end.

After that call, I decided to give up for the day. Seriously, I feel so freakin screwed over. And last night I found out that a family friend I used to hang out with as a kid passed away of a heart infection yesterday morning. He was only 19. And Now I don't even have th option of going back home for the funeral because I don't even have enough money to afford the train ticket, and isn't that just screwed up?

W/e, if any of you have stuck through my story this long, kudos. I could barely stick through my own blog.
