DAT PLAID. If I ever save up enough of a dowry to get married, it's gonna be in one of those.

So it's crunch time for assignments which means that I'm suddenly spending a lot more time on Facebook and drawing. Sadly I have run out of pages in my sketchpad so now it's mostly the former. I'm working on a story that I have no idea how to tackle for my Research subject that involves art and censorship. I was going to go with the angle of how 15 year old virgin females can be classified as pedos due to Australia's shitty laws that criminalize shota and the like, but I dunno. The most interesting thing I found in my research was the difference between rates of child sexual abuse between Japan and Australia. We have more cases even though we don't have loli-con on our shelves, which is possible to tie in with the recent press coverage of Akihabara as the land of CP and some other stuff. I don't know how I'm going to get a strong story out of it though.

As for Sydney, it's still on the cards. My professor offered to pay for me out of his own pocket after I voiced my disappointment, but that'd just make me feel indebted. Too bad I'm not in touch with the people who I used to draw for, I coulda gotten some cash out of them for some doodles. WILL PHOTOSHOP FOR FLIGHTS ;_;

Well, I live out in Bankstown - As long as you're going to be here before the end of August, I can host you. (Because I don't have to declare to my parents you came here cause they're out of the country.)

I don't know where you'll be, but it's 20 minutes walking from the station, and 25-30 minutes from Central by train.

I'd even offer to loan the car, except I'm not even named as an insured party on it (ie. if you speed or some incident occurs, I claim I was driving it with you as my companion driver), so that one's pushing it.

If nothing else, we can catch up, and you can complain once again I've got no life. :P

That would be awesome, thanks so much. I *think* it's on the 29th of June, in which case I'd probably come on the 28th and leave on the 30th if that works for you. The conference is just in the city, I have some relatives down south but they're like at least 2 hours away from the city.

And don't worry, I'd be far too terrified to drive in Sydney!

You still got my mob number?

Somewhere in one of old notebooks - I've shelved a lot of my work with conventions these days (Since I'm going towards gaming outside Australia, with a very recent rehire), so it'd take me a few days to find it.

You still have my e-mail address don't you? Just drop me a line there. and we'll talk details, tomorrow or something.

Right now I'm going back to bed - Sister woke me up trying to find my other sister who apparently didn't show up where she said she'd be... until we find out she screwed up her arrival time by a day.

Go figure. :P
