I am boiling chicken bones to clean them and it's smelly.

What would be the best way to seal them? I understand "varnish of some kind" but any specific brands/where the hell can I buy it?

Bussing gives me a lot of time to visualize art projects, less time to do them (and then the lazy factor multiplies that by a billion).

I really want to go back to school but I'm starting to doubt that goal. Apartment hunting is like... sucky ass suck. Most places are way out of my budget, I refuse to settle for a dump, blah. My parents keep telling me I'm not financially ready (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!die), the shop changing ownership is enough to make me hesitate. They want to keep me, but I keep having horrible visions of them cutting my pay or something ridiculous like that.

In other, better news I'm really doing a thousand times better this winter in the depresso department with the light. I mean, minus the week after new years, but that's to be expected. ...I wanted an apartment that ryan and I could hurt ourselves in for his birthday though. I get this feeling it'll be March and then my parents would have won again. Blast!
