As I told some of you guys in irc before, i got accepted in an american animation school hopefully much superior to the art school I was studying at not too long ago.
in 5 days im taking a plane to Seattle to get around town and get my stuff ready for classes starting this september.
Im having a lot of mixed feelings hehe. For one I find it exciting to do something like this. if you had asked me if I was going to do this 2 years ago I would probably have laughed in your face. Its almost too good to be true Plus I kinda like the u.s. because theres always something interesting for me to do and theres funny/different/crazy people n shit.
but on the other hand I have to admit its kinda hard for me to move... I have been living out of my parent´s house for nearly 2 years now and I always look for an excuse not to be here during vacations, even tough I have a decent relation with my family, visiting my town shortly after being in the u.s. last time made me realize how bad I wanted to just get out of here and why I left in the first place. My town is like a limbo where time does not flow, every time I visit this town its always the same thing, my uncles teling me to choose a different more "serious" carreer like law or engeneering, having to deal with my asshole brother, and overall nothing but false smiles, and people sucking social figure´s dicks for I have no idea what reason... and its still like this every time I visit....makes me kinda sad really cuz its a nice place to live, its just the people that I dont like....but I do think what ill miss the most is some of my close friends.
I didnt have the slightest doubt about moving until yesterday. My mom just not entirely cool about me moving to a different country and my family seems to think I want to be away from them or something.
Still I think Seattle will be a pretty cool experience for me even if I eventually return. So, is there any cool stuff to do in there? I hear it gets pretty beautiful in winter (and I have never seen snow in my life so that will be new for me as well )
Go snowboarding in the winter.
I've always wanted to visit Seattle.

why is your bro such a dick!
also good luck and have fun
dont
you will enjoy the change and freedom of living "on your own". it\\\'s a fun and exciting thing. enjoy it
also it didn\\\'t snow in the lowlands last winter, but every once and a while we get a good foot of snow. if not that, there\\\'s always plenty of snow in the mountain passes
Hope it works out well for ya.
Also hopefully your snow experience will be nice,
nice fluffy snow not icy/dirty slushy snow.

This winter is supposedly going to have alot of lowland snow, but then again, that might just be rumor.

More cool Seattle places I know of or have been to. I'm gonna start with a post about all the magically freaky stuff that can be found in the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle.

I know I've talked about Gasworks Park a lot in IRC but it is really great and atmospheric. The only disappointing thing is the damn fence separating you from those delicious tubes and tanks.

This store in Fremont called Deluxe Junk that sells loads of bizarre antiques and knickknacks from genuine USSR wall scrolls to mirrored cowboy boots. Also home to the suggestively named "Fun Hole" which sells, fittingly enough, hot dogs.

The legendary Fremont Troll which permanently resides under the Fremont bridge. To get a feel for the scale of this monster, the car he holds in his hand is an actual VW Beetle.

I forgot the story behind the Lenin Statue that stands in front of the Taco del Mar in Fremont, but i know there is a plaque on it that explains its history and the subsequent controversy surrounding it.
(https://thebackalleys.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Ffarm3.static.flickr.com%2F2054%2F2092954114_5e3378d7bc.jpg%3Fv%3D0&hash=fcf648b05a59f53ade89fd50f58e0e1af6aa3f91)
Atop a retail store in Fremont is a disarmed ICBM (Intercontinental Ballistic Missile). If I remember correctly, like the Lenin statue, there is quite an interesting stroy surrounding how the hell it got there.
I think im going to be a really happy Emin
also lol I love pike place and been to the needle once its really fun!
