Birthdays, Babblings, and Kiribans (oh my!)
Big GrinYeah, I know it seems silly to post a journal entry promoting your own birthday, but I'm honestly very excited! I'm so looking forward to a much needed day of fun and merriment. But, since it is a weekday, eating out and partying will have to wait until the weekend. That's where you come in! I'd love some suggestions for good places to eat out. I hardly ever eat out as it were, so I'd appreciate suggestions to some good (and middle-class income affordable!) restaurants. They can be nationwide chains (like Chili's or Applebees, tell me if those are any good) or if you're in Southern California, tell me about your favorite local joints.
I'd also like to know what some of your favorite birthday-related activities are! What are you planning to do on your birthday, and if its already passed, what was the most memorable thing you did that day?
Art School?
So, I know for sure that I want to pursue a career in art and design, but I'm still unsure if I should be attending a regular college or a private institute. I know that with the private institutes, you get more hands-on learning, but the downside (as far as I know) is that they're really pricey. Anyone in a situation similar to this? And hey, if you're already attending a school, care to share your experiences? I'm planning on majoring in either graphic design, web design, or illustration (maybe even game design, but I don't think my parents would take me seriously lol).
Other Chocotastic Happenings!
Recently, my love for playing Animal Crossing (gamecube version) has been rekindled! I've been designing clothes like mad in the tailor shop. I find it a good way to practice making pixel art with a limited color palette. I wish I could share some of the images with you XD
Kiriban
I've decided to do another kiriban, this time at 25,000 pageviews! Be sure to send a screencap if you happen to catch it!

I graduated with a design degree from a State college. Not exactly a community college but a state funded one as opposed to private like you mentioned. It's also half the price if you reside in that state. There were 2 other art colleges in NYC, both like 20-40k a year and mine was 2k!! (what a difference). I didn't think about it at the time, but I'm really happy with my choice.
Unless you're at a crap school, I don't your education is the most important thing. As long as you get a solid beginning, learn all the lingo and programs. The most important thing is your own ability and willingness to push your art. Your portfolio will be the most important thing and people won't care what college you went to.
Thanks again!
