A little dramatic. Life doesnt have to be that way. Does this just mean a new handle? Or a no journal?

I would like to hear from you, even though I know now I'll be seeing you next year, which is cool.

Not that you are, but don't force yourself to be anyone you are not.

Night.

It was dramatic, huh? hehe I already feel like deleting it.

It means more than anything that the person I was is being transformed into something more complete and functional. You probably know what I mean by that.

What do you mean by 'next year': In the Fall or in a year?

I'm dealing with payment options; your input would be greatly appreciated.

Muddled How To to Con the Government walek July 11 2004, 00:20:28 UTC
payment? Are you still a dependent according to your father's taxes?
If dependent, for your fafsfa, is just father submitting? (sorry, I dont know about your mother).
If your father doesn't claim you as dependent, and you earn little money, you are in luck.

I have just my mom submit, who earns no money. MUM, unlike many schools, is perfectly fine with this. They like us to gip (sp?) the government and taxpayers unlike other fine institutions. So the key is to make it look like you have less money than you have.

And that is how you con the government.

Know you'll not have much financial support from the school? Then look into unsubidized loans .

And if you have already gone through all that and you actually thinking about scholarships and such... contact the school. They can be good resources about scrouncging up money if you reaaaally want to go.

Sorry, late for me. Me go sleep now. We can talk when I am more coherent.

Awww :-( Don't kill off the Downstrung.

You're the only person who I can say this to:
When you come home to Cali, you can visit me. And, when I go home to Iowa, I can visit you. :-)

I've been feeling weird about the whole livejournal thing lately. I'd say it's better to have one's own private "real-life" journal, but then again I'm still not decided on that. I always end up being nitpicky about what to write, and on most days find nothing at all to write about.

Part of the fun of livejournal is being able to get feedback on what you're thinking. Like a communal hippie lovefest or something, but without the drugs and the hairy, droopy middle-aged women. I also feel as though I'm my own bitchy bitter audience when I drip pen and ink for myself as opposed to tappa-tappa-tappa livejournal.

I dunno. Still your decision, but your journal was certainly interesting. I'm still waiting to hear your goddamned music.

My own private real life journal is in my head. And it's best kept there.

The feedback part is the most interesting, you're right. And I also agree that on is his own audience. And that's not such a bad thing.

I'm not getting rid of the journal, I'm just explaining where Downstung has gone. Though it was done so in an over the top-dramatic way per his history of Soap Operas being an integrated part of his household.

He has a lot of problems that need to be figured out. But that's just the problem. They're not problems, but challenges. And that's where a difference in handling them will come from.

The depths of Downstrung are still valid and important, I'm not killing them off as fast as I had originally planned.
