I'm going to learn how to drive once my mom buys me the lessons for my birthday. I'll use my summer job money to buy myself some bartending lessons.

I'm going to New York City in the summer of 2011. I'm going to intern at the Hetrick-Martin Institute. There's no reason why I shouldn't get in. I'm going to schedule an interview for early April and keep in touch. Hopefully, show up there every now and then.

I might get my gay friend to come with me. He's not out to anyone except me and one or two others. He needs to get into the queer scene and I don't think he's going to feel safe doing that here. He likes the idea but needs to mull it over. Makes sense since I only sprung it on him about 20 minutes ago.

If I really enjoy working at the Institute I might stay longer and put off university. Or perhaps go to university in New York--who knows?

Hopefully, I'll get a higher paying job than last summer. If not, I'll work during the school year. I'll have less homework next semester anyway.

I'm not going to be able to go to sleep now.
Somehow, I don't think my mom will like my plan all that much. She'll just have to deal with it though, just like how I will have to deal with living like a starving artist.

Life is interesting.

I intend to win the Dayne Ogilvie Award for Best Emerging Gay Writer in Canada one day. Just watch me.

(Being out makes me so fucking invincible. It's amazing.)

huzzah! Summer camp was good, if a little crazy. We had a leader slip on the docks and injure himself. He had to be taken to the hospital. My friend went into mild shock. The nurses at the camp and I spent about 45min getting her to calm down. I also have a new appreciation of anyone who works with ADD/ADHD/etc kids on a daily basis. I did it for a week and let me tell you, those dark cirles under my eyes were scary.

Other then that, I might get a gig working at a photography store next summer in Wildwood, NJ. Doing 'old-time' photos. It seems really cool.

College is going great although I'm having trouble with one thing. I've got an assignment for my Images and Sounds class that I am not sure how to go about doing. I need to find the 'ideal image' of myself. Who I want to be in the future. I want to be a writer and a university professor. I flipped thru DA a bit but couldn't find anything to my liking. Do you think I should ask one of my female profs if I can take a pic of them in a writerly-teacher pose?

I'm leaving for work in two hours. I'll be at a Scout camp for seven weeks. You won't hear from me; there is no Internet access.

I'll be in charge of arts and crafts and surrounded by hyperactive little kids. It's all good though because apparently working at a Scout camp is awesome. Considering that I have to abandon my own name and use a nickname(Tawny Fur), there better be some degree of awesomeness.

So I will leave you here, devartists.

Have a good summer.

I'm going to the Cirque du Soleil on Sunday! Yay! I went to the Corteo show a few years ago and it was awesome. I'm looking forward to this one.

I might be getting Sims 3 in two weeks. But I'll have to leave for work at a summer camp the very next day so I will get very little game time. I will be pissed.

We're having steak and potatoes tonight. Having visitors over is fun even if the conversations are boring (just speaking in terms of today, that is).

Lots of writing lately. I want to be like Terry Pratchett and try writing 400 words a day. Probably not happening with my summer job and all but afterward?
