In which Sky is glowing with happiness.
Feb. 26th, 2006 06:46 pmToday has pretty much been an awesome day.
I went to ComicCon with Lauren and her older brother, and we walked around, bought stuff, you know. I bought some manga that I have been looking everywhere for and couldn't find, and I bought the first Loveless DVD and the first Sukisho DVD. Whee! (And I got a deal, on them both. Whee!)
While we were walking around, we saw this woman in a corset, which was laced SO TIGHT and made her boobs HUGE and her waist TINY, and Lauren didn't see her, so we followed her to show Laren the woman's HUGE boobs, and ended up at a stall selling corsets. They asked me if I wanted to try one on, and I said yes. So the woman helped me into a really nice corset, size 22, and Lauren took a picture. (Which I am sure will be forthcoming.) Interestingly, the guys from the comic book store near my school had a stand there and it was right across from where I was being fitted into a corset. So I got hit on buy one of the guys who I recognized and who recognized me. Then, the guy who was the boss at the corset store decided that the corset I was wearing was a size too big, and unlaced it and then helped me into a leather one, a size smaller. Once he was done, Lauren and two other guys standing around laced me into it. (I would like to add that they happened to be the only ones with cameras. There was a croud around the stall by that time. -_-;; )
So yeah. I really want one of those corsets. I would have bought one while I was there, but it's $100 or something. *sigh* I think I should work for those people. I can model for them or something.
I also saw Voltaire there. (The singer, people, not the very dead poet.) THe only thing I had for him to sign was this empty CD sleeve, and he signed it with, "Sky, that disc you burned of illegally downloaded songs of mine goes right in this cute little slot right here." ANd I got a picture of that too. It was awesome. (Lauren was like, "You two are the pastiest people ever.")
And then...
I can home and checked the mail from yesterday and I got a letter from Allegheny. I figured it was probably something financial aid related, so I was sort of looking forward to seeing what it said. I opened it to read:
"Dear Sky,
On behalf of the Scholarship Committee, it is my honor to provide you with the details of our most prestigious scholarship, which you have been chosen to receive. Allegheny College is pleased to offer you a Trustee Scholarship in the amount of $40,000."
There was more, of course, telling me that I get $10,000 per acedemic year as long as I am a fulltime student at the college, and then some about how much they like me and how my accomplishments are wonderful.
BUT OMG. $40,000. HOLY SHIT. MOST PRESTIGIOUS SCHOLARSHIP. HOLY FUCKING SHIT. It's my third choice school too.
