 | Killashandra is a 24 year old woman in a relationship from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. What's new with me--having finally graduated in the spring, I found that I had enough credits that if I pushed it through the summer, I could have a second degree by December. So that's that for now. Uggh some people love the student life and I can feel that engaging interest on occasion, but damn it has been nothing but stress for me over the last 5 1/2 years. If you loved university then you probably have a healthier outlook than I do, and I'd love to hear how you did it. Meantime my secret interest in textile arts, which I've suppressed, is begging for attention, so I'm torn between a master's in linguistics (probably sign language acquisition) and going to art school. In Germany or France, where we're moving in the new year. Thing is I'm having a really hard time finding anywhere that teaches textile art properly--if you have insight into this at all, especially for France, please please drop me a line!
So take care of yourselves everybody and enjoy the new autumn! |

Sep 8, 9:13pm    (3 reviews) video-games http://agdinteractive.com/homepage/homep...- Easter eggs galore....jeez. If you played this game before, play it again because there're a ton of new things here. The combat system is awesome...though the game is a little harder because of it. A new mission for thieves, appearances by fans in-game, fully separate and actually replayable classes now, a little "mission" in the city, blue frogs, ability to decorate your room, kick jackals off you in battle.....wow! You've gotta try it.
