Hi guys, girls, and assorted wildlife (cough, cough Meagan) i'm at RISD and loving it. we have learned such random stuff. a few nights ago we had karokee night and i actually got up and sang - two songs! this is such a big deal for me if you know me in non-deviant life -AKA real. we went to a knitting workshop and i will get to see the beach for the first time in my life soon. the bad news is that knittting is so addictive and i feel like and old lady. last night i was listening to dir en grey and KNITTING!- is that anti christ or what! anyway it is great here in providence and completely worth my parents five thousand- he he i'm broke . there is something called a waterfire up here and i went a few nights ago. it was so cool. they take these basket like things in the river that they put wood in and light on fire. there is a fire dancer in a gondola and cirque de soleil-ish music playing. mimes and street entertainers come out, they are also risd students making spare cash, and earn money, unless they're fourty year old mermaids, and then people stay away from them and they go home shiney and poor. yeah it sounds mean but it is only accepted if your a college kid and not a soccer mom robbing the glitter paint box. well, it's all good up here. some of you guys write me back either on here or at my yahoo address. miss you all, AIKUHIME
