The much needed amusement of the day...

This is Trowa's post on Wufei's LJ XD Funniest thing ever, esp since the word of the the hour has been 'CASTRATION!!!'

"Quatre's going to kill me, but...*smirks*
We were at this dinner party with Relena and a couple of other dignitaries, and there was this gentleman there - one of the last decendents of the Tzars of Russia, to be exact - who had been in hot pursuit of Relena for quite some time. Mind you, he had about forty years on her, but he was't going to let the age difference get in his way, so he would try his best to convince her that they could restore Sanq to its former glory, and so on and so on...Anyway, poor Relena had only gotten through the second bite of her salad before he started in on her, right there at the table, and Quatre looked at Relena and said "Perhaps you should take him up on his offer, Relena. After all, if he's willing to make the sacrifice..."
The guy leaned over the table with a smug smile and said, "What sacrifice is that, Mr. Winner?"
Without missing a beat, Quatre said "Well, the fidelity ceremony, of course. If you're willing to go to that length to prove your ardor, then you're a better man than I."
So he asked Quatre what the ceremony entails, and Quatre spun this story about an ancient, time-honored tradition among the Sanq royals that dictates that any suitor of an unmarried princess who has already ascended to the throne must participate in a fidelity ceremony to prove the purity of his intentions, and that the ceremony demands that the suitor must have his right testicle removed in open court and use it as an offering to the throne.
Right about there is where the guy excused himself and nearly ran from the table. Needless to say, Relena hasn't heard from him since."

As Nelson would say, "PORK AND BEANS! PORK AND BEANS!"

To break or not to break?

Everytime I want to run away from school crying about the workload, I keep running back because I want to learn more X_X; But my new teacher, Dallas, is a guy I've known since my first term since he would always sit in my head drawing class drawing the models. My friends and I thought he was a student at first, but he set us straight. He's a pretty young guy too and REALLY TALL.

Or I think he's a young guy. I don't know how old he was when he came to ACCD, but he said that he took a lot of terms off because of working for various internships and just not being able to do more than two terms. And, because of all work and the experience he's gained, he had a full ride through ACCD because of all the extra stuff in his portfolio!! From a guy who spent classtimes for the first two terms asleep on the counter, now is one of the best professors at school. He said he'd show us his resume sometime, but did list quite a few things he has worked on, like Tarzan and various other Disney films, some games, etc. X_X

Wow. Seriously, wow. I'm looking at myself now and wondering if I should take a term off so that I could try getting an internship and get my foot into the door. I want to try working in the real world, I want a taste of it and test myself how far I can endure. I want to draw my webcomic and work... I really really want to. I don't know WHEN I'm going to do this, but I've gone through three terms straight and on my fourth one with no more than three-four week breaks in-beween. I think I'm nuts, but I was following what my parents wanted me to do. There are SO MANY THINGS I WANT TO DO and I keep trying to do them all to the point of stressing out. But when I just do homework, I can't be happy since it's _homework_. Maybe that's why I have so many hobbies.

And I'm thinking about all this when this is only the FIRST WEEK of school X_X
