The one and only Ellen Page, looking all cute and chic. Just randomly felt like posting this on here. One of my friends brought up an interesting probability regarding the talented young actress. Could she be LGBT? there's never been any sightings of her with a guy and she has never proffessed to have been dating anyone. As an ardent Ellen fan, I've done my share of web-scouring and I haven't come across any tangible evidence of such. Being familiar with her transitioning career from backshelf indie roles to mainstream hits, appearing in roles such as Inception(2010) and X-Men:the Last Stand(2007?),it would be unwise of her to undisclose her sexuality. She didn't seem to struggle much in fleshing out her "butch" side in Hard Candy and Trailer Park Boys. Anyways, it's all just speculation. I could be well over my head.

OK, so I am beyond tired of all of these flaky scholarship websites. Last night I received an e-mail from Hispanic Scholarship Fund indicating that I wasn't elligible for any of the scholarships I had applied to 6 months ago(it wasn't last minute, I filed ahead of time to ensure that I would get them, mind you) ...3.7 GPA, graduated from Highland Park(ranked 12th in the nation), and wrote 3+ remarkable essays for each of the scholarships. Additionally, I filed the FAFSA, tax returns, everything, as required. Anyways, it pisses me off. It's not right. I applied to not one, but three of their scholarships, and I wasn't elligible for any of those. That's ridiculous. Hispanic College Fund pulled the same shit, indicating that I wasn't "in financial need". That's amusing, because last time I checked, I live with a single mother who currently works in two teaching positions so she can pay the rent for our condo in Highland Park. The annual tuition at the school I will be attending is 32,000, plus other costs(such as living, supplies, etc.) sums it up to a total of 50,000 a year. I guess I have to be dirt poor and mexican to qualify. I can't imagine any other reason. Fortunately, California College of the Arts has some pretty generous scholarships available, in which I was able to narrow down the cost to about 2/3rds of the original sum. That, and student loans.


***on a much lighter note, I came across this(see below) the other day. God damn I want to hit that. I just wish someone would have jabbed the camerman on the back of the knee. Hehe. *sigh* there's a couple of more screencaps of him on that same site, in which he's wearing a little sweater vest and nothing else. ><

First Post~


Hello, all!
I have decided to start a blog to chronicle my experiences in college(or dating up to, as I still have three idling weeks to sit through). If you have taken a personal interest in me, and wish to know more, I guess you can always peruse my past entries on the blog I have on myspace. It's safe to say that this new blog is in a sense, a continuation of the one on myspace, but centered especially on whatever mishap or gratuitous moment I may encounter during my preemptive college life. First off, I'd like to state that writing, in practice, keeps me alive. I feel like I've lost some steam since the close of high school(haven't written anything this summer, really...) and this is an excellent way to keep it up. An overarching motive for me starting this blog is to write in a periodic and consistent manner, like a 'brainpower fueled by writing' kind of excersize. Furthermore, I also ask my assumed readers to bear with me if any entry may seem substanceless and/or irrelevant. Aside from that, I have always felt that writing creatively is one of my fortes, and not taking advantage of such would be a waste.
