As always, life can become a busy, tangled mess 
Currently, I'm deciding if I have the time to open commissions. It might kill me . . .Or make me stronger. . . .

Hello World!
3 min read
Well, here we are, 4 days away from Tomodachi Fest starting this year and I am beyond unprepared! Yaaaaaaayyyyy! 
So, aside from that little edge of panic creeping in to my stomach, what else is new?
New job is going really well! Despite the 2 hour round trip drive, it's really turning out to be an amazing experience. Last week I actually got to save a little gas money and attend a state-wide history conference here in Boise. I'm sure it's riviting stuff for all of you not in any sort of history field, but I found it to be both fascinating and incredibly useful. I've been in a bit of slump lately after talking to my professors (oh, and *deans* of their respective departments--no pressure there) about my post graduation options They gave me too many choices, and both are of the mindset that I should stay in Boise another year to work on a PHD application 0_0 This was, surprisingly, a bit disheartening because:
A: I need out of Boise
B: Ever since I was there this last spring, I knew I wanted to move to the Salt Lake area
C: I need an adventure, real mountains, and to be freaking away from certain people here before murder becomes a viable option
D: WAITING IS HARD, GUYS. I WANT TO START NOW
Now, yes, I know that I could literally pick up and move at any time--I don't need to go to grad school to do that. And that's where everything clicked during the conference. I FREAKING LOVE MUSEUM WORK. Despite the epic of amount of weird that has been going on there since I started (ie: fights with the Board over a new roof, roof caving in, and two floods in the museum in the same day >_> AND THEY'RE STILL FIGHTING ABOUT THE ROOF?), it's very exciting to me. Historical museum work is totally different from art historical stuff too--there's this huge rift in philosophy and the reverence of objects that just intrigues me.
So, here's the plan: stay at the museum, learn every thing I can, and after 6-8 months look for museum jobs in the Salt Lake area. In this time period I can really focus on what, if any, post grad degree sets my soul a-flutter.
Only read this next part if you enjoy ambiguity 9_9;
Finally, how the heck do you kindly tell someone they're constantly overstepping the boundaries? When you have a friend who you would like to stay friends with, you are very clear with them where the boundary is, yet when they do something to cross the line and hurt you (and you call them out on it) they end of guilt tripping you into retracting everything? How do you make run-on sentences make sense? HOW DO I GRAMMAR GOOD?

Life, no?

Hello, everyone! Here's a nice little life update for all you cool cats who actually read these XD
1: I'm employed again! This time (and for a rather long time, if I get my way) I'm working part time at a local museum as the Director's Assistant. I'm also in charge of the on site library and archives, and getting all of that up to par 
Being a massive bibliophile, I'm totally all right with this.
2: I've been contacted by three schools about applying to their post graduate programs. I think I'll only be applying to one of them, but it's still flattering, exciting, and a tad horrifying. . .
3: I'll be giving a guest lecture this semester at one of the colleges! Once again, flattering, exciting, and a tad horrifying. . .
4: Tomodachi Fest is one month away! Between prepping for my lecture and doing extra work for the museum, I have NO IDEA when I'll be able to prep for it Last con of the season, which is good. I need the break to focus on getting ready for Christmas! Also this Tomo will be a very sad one for me 
But! I will still fight on with enthusiasm and gusto! 
5: Finally have a nerdy decal on my car! My darling Kuru (yes, I named my car) is now emblazoned with the Jolly Roger for the Straw Hat Pirates.
That's about all I've got right now! I hope everyone had an amazing summer and, to the students, good luck this semester!
You can do it!
