Sounds nice ArcWolf! A toast to a new year of school! (eats a piece of toast)

Joy: I am getting to visit relatives of mine in Arizona (USA). It'll be hot, but at least there is family.
Sorrow: There are no *safe* furry conventions near me. (I live in Washington State (the Seattle-ish area), so my only real option is RainFurrest, which I read has some... less than appropriate conduct going on around it...) :(

Joy: Brother got his beginner's license!

Sorrow: ... and apparantly doesn't want to drive anymore...

I'm getting frustrated these days with this mixed bag of communication in the family these days. I feel like i'm a problem, but noone will confess it. It's a good life where i'm at, but i feel like these days people either take too much from me or are just way too scared to take risks in life and rely on one another too much.

Joy: Got back yesterday from a 2 weeks vacation in California. It was so much fun. And sorry I haven't been on. Since we weren't in the house for very long and I was out and about, my data wasn't good. I liked hanging out with my cousins, we went to the shooting range, we went out to eat, we went to the mall, and just chilled. Omg I ate so much and it was very good. We went to Santee Alley in LA and I bought lots of clothes for school and I bought a hoverboard! It's so addicting. I can't get off of it :lol:. The drive was tiring. 16 exhausting hours. But it's nice to be home.

Sorrow: this is my last week of summer vacation. Ugh, I better make it count.

???: I'm part of a pageant thing this coming Friday. I have a lot of mixed feelings about it. I guess I'm a little bit frustrated that they made me part of it, but now I got a reason to go besides the food. That also means however I'll be getting a lot of attention from... almost everyone taking up the same degree as I am. So much for blending into the background... Then again, I guess this is a good chance for me to get out of my comfort zone. The theme of the party is Great Gatsby, by the way.
A little Sorrow: I don't know why. I just feel... meh lately. I feel like I'm being a bother to a lot of people. I know I'm not. At least, I'd like to think I'm not.
Heellooooooooo!! Anyone who wants to talk to me, please do. I get lonely sometimes and I get scared whenever I talk first...

SORROW: My roommate for college is a complete jerk. For the past (first) two weeks of the semester, instead of paying for a double room like I'm doing with my bill, apparently he's decided to make our room into a hotel. Not only that, he and his friends are loud and obnoxious during the night, and don't do to bed until three in the morning. They're latest charade actually happened this morning/last night (Sept. 6-7). Now I'm stuck being awake as they snore, get up at six o'clock and deciding that they need to head back to their own place, and walk around being loud. I'm already sick of this and it's only the beginning of the year. Tomorrow I'm going to talk with him about this and I hope that we can come to some sort of agreement, because what they are doing can actually get my roommate thrown out of the dorms and I'm REALLY tempted to rat them out. I'm paying to be here. If freeloaders are constantly checking into our room when they aren't even paying for it, then I want them AND HIM OUT. I have enough on my plate already because this semester is practically "Redo two courses and get out of this program or you're out of here," and I don't need this along with it. I'm almost through 24 hours of being awake and I can't take anymore. I want to go home. :(

EDIT: I didn't clarify, but there are/were three other people staying in the dorm. One being his brother and the other two their girlfriends(?).

If there are unwanted guests and he won't respect your privacy, you have every right to contact your resident adviser or whoever about it. The only people who have a right to be in your room are you and your roommate. Just please don't start a fight with him. Be calm and respectful when requesting things.

Joy: I made it to my uncle's house and watched TV with him for a few hours.
Sorrow: My bike two flats while I was biking to my uncle's house.
Joy: My uncle has an SUV, so we were able to take it to a bike shop before they closed, and my uncle paid for the new tubes. I'm also getting one of the wheels aligned, which it really needed, and possibly getting the derailleur aligned.
Sorrow: I'm without transportation until at least Tuesday.

Sorrow: My college lost by one point in a rivalry game - that makes 6 years in a row. *sigh*
Joy: It was an eventful game at least. I was able to draw a couple sketches of Doug.
Douglas isn't my real name, but because of a name block put on me by a higher-order being known as Djinni, I can't say my real name.

Joy: I have just gotten a new pup, Who we've taken to calling him "Oz". Oxford "Oz" is his full name(Minus last name 'cause you know, privacy.) and he's literally the ultimate little bundle of cuteness. He's the size of a Corgi, got the face of a pug, and is as fluffy as a baby Schnauzer.

Yes, I do like the page format, as it would fit in collections better overall, but at the same time it’s not as flexible as smaller strips–sometimes a full comic beat only takes three panels, such as right here. This generally means I will be going back to 3x/week starting next week, but I might still publish full pages from time to time (equal with double strips like with the old format)
YAY!!! Back to three times a week! :D

Sorrow: I've only been in school for a month and I just feel like it's been going so slow. Last year went by super fast but since school started I've been feeling a little down since the break ended. I guess it's because everything happened so fast but I'm feeling better.
