On The Road Again... On iTunes: ......blargh... Well, I'm back in Tally after a long, wonderful break at home. I'm looking forward to my new classes (which is a nice break from last semester) but right now, I feel tired and miserable and I am no where near done unpacking. I also put in a request to see if I can't move into a single room. There's just a lot of problems with this one for me and it's too much to go into. But it really, really effects me in a negative way and if I can get out, I'm going to. And if I can't.. let's just say I'm going to spend a lot of time on the green. Anyway. Give me a couple days or so to finish packing/re-arranging and settle into classes and then I'll be back around like normal. Back to unpacking and feeling sick and miserable. *grumble snarl and other general noises of moodiness*

Cool These Engines, Calm These Jets On iTunes: "Secret" Maroon 5 I think that the plan for today is to get some laundry done, maybe pack a little (okay, let's not kid ourselves here, I'm not going to start packing yet), and then me, Jen, and my dad are going to head up towards the mall to catch a bite to eat. Then he'll drop us off there and we'll do some shopping and buy some last minute things, maybe call up some friends and hang out before meeting up with my mom and heading home. And then we drive back to Tallahassee tomorrow.. ewww. This is not a good time of the month for me to be in a car for four hours. Somebody out there really, really hates me. In other news, Patronus (or the artist formally known as Leh) and I were talking online the other day and eventually it got around to his old RPG Paranoia. It had been a four person deal and I remember that I had a lot of fun with it, even though it was only like nine posts in before it died. Then we started talking about ways we could bring it back, things we could add to the story, make it more organized and get more people into it, and then ... voila, we made the new, revamped version that you can find in the Inn right now, at this very moment! Ahem. Spring semester, how did you get here so fast? It doesn't really make sense at all. Not that I mind, really, but you are one quick, tricky devil, that's for sure.

Tonight We're Gonna Party Like It's 1999 On iTunes: Kashmir Well, the migraine-headache-thingy from yesterday thankfully went away and I feel much better today. Hard to believe it's now officially 2005, though. What the hell happened to last year? It's like I wasn't even there. Anyway, resolutions. Seeing as there's always something I feel I need to perfect, this whole "goals for the new year" thing isn't really a big deal. But, with that said, there are a couple things that I want to change: 1. Improve my studying habits. If I studied for 1/2 an hour to an hour every day I had class (and maybe even some of those weekends), I would be so much better off it's not even funny. And really, half an hour? That's not a lot at all. I just need to motivate myself to sit down with my books and do it. 2. I want to be more active. In high school, I did yearbook and theatre and all that and I had such a blast. I haven't been involved in much of anything since starting at FSU and I really feel like I'm missing out. Especially with all the cool classes at the gym. So, I'm hoping to find some cool clubs (maybe even some cool, nerdy anime clubs) in the spring. I'm also probably going to sign up for racketball during drop/add week and add that into my schedule (good idea, Tori ^_~) so I'll be making a garaunteed trip to the gym at least twice a week. Besides all that, there's also my life-long goal to study abroad. I finished FSU's international program application online today, as well as paid the $75 fee, so both of those are over and done with. If everything goes smoothly, in about a month or so we'll know if I was accepted or not. The lady I met with before told me that because of my grades I was pretty much a shoe-in, which I dearly hope is true. If all goes according to my plans, then Fall 2005 will see me getting edumacated in London. ^_~

HAPPY NEW YEARS YOU CRAZY PEOPLE YOU!! On iTunes: New Years Rockin' Eve on the telly-o 10 till midnight. Guess where I am? At home. Guess why? Really, really bad headache. The kind where you turn into a vampire because the light hurts. Actually, it's getting a little better, and really, I brought it on myself. I've been catching up with Alias all day long... now I'll be ready for season four, starting with the two hour special January 5. In another life, I'd be Sidney Bristow. Yeah, baby. I think it's time for new glasses. o_O;

Where Are My TRUMPETS?! On iTunes: Modest Mouse Okay, so yesterday I was a little dramatic. In all actuality, I was only upset for about an hour and then everything was fine. I guess I just had a moment of revelation at a most inopportune moment, but then I had steak for dinner and then the Buckeyes came on and KILLED Oklahoma, and then I stayed up late talking to Shin and Leh and having fun, so it's all good. Anyway. Comments: Azure-Man With The Freaky Dreams: Well, I'm not going to lie, I was pretty upset for a little bit, but it's over and done with. These kinds of things are hard for control-freaks like me to deal with. ^_~ Shin-tastic Man: Yeah, I do realize these things, but I'm also glad to be reminded of them, lest I forget their importance. Like... the importance of hot chocolate! On a side note, I was a little amused by turn from angsty and depressing to hyper on crack last night. Go figure. >_> Blink-tabulous: No, to be honest, I generally prefer people to be honest with me because I don't want things to build up and get ugly, as they have the tendency to do when you keep quiet. What I don't like is that sometimes people speak out with the intention of being scathing or cruel and I just don't think that's necessary at all. So, you're not an asshole. I don't think. ^_~

What A Wonderful World On iTunes: Nothing. I don't like fighting. At all. I don't like the idea of conflicts, I don't like confrontational situations, and I don't like it when people use those situations to make themselves look better by dominanting the other person. It doesn't make you look smarter or better, it makes you look like horrible fucking ass. I also don't like it when people use those kinds of situations to manipulate others. Standing your ground is one thing, but when you purposely twist the situation, or twist another person's perception of the situation so that it suits what you want.. that's wrong. It's selfish, and it's low, and it makes you worse than scum. This is why I can never work in the government or in corporate business. Because you'd like to think that ethics works, but right now I'm of the mind that half the people there don't even know how to spell the damn word. I've also come to realize tonight that I can't fix all the things that I want to fix. I can't fix people if they want to stay unhappy and broken, and I can't help a situation get better if everyone is determined to come out on top, no matter who they hurt in the process. I feel bitter and jaded and used and I don't appreciate any of it. And I also have a massive headache now that I'll probably end up going to sleep with because it won't go away. All in all, it has not been a particularly lovely evening. I'd be lucky if I could just curl up in a corner and die right now. That'd be great, thanks. Edit: Well, there is some good news. We had some Outback for dinner (mmm, steak), and as of right now, second half third quarter, the Buckeyes are spanking Oklahoma State. Edit Deuce: More good news! Buckeyes won and I have hot chocolate!

I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! On iTunes: Nothing. It occurs to me that while I was posting the other night, thousands of people in Asia were dead or dying. Kind of a holiday downer. If I was the praying kind, then my thoughts would definitely be turned towards the Indian Ocean. I also watched Hero last night. Talk about being emotional. o_O It was so brilliant, though. The colors were absolutely gorgeous, and holy mother of mayo, the fighting! None of this compares, however, to the overall message of the film.. man, I cried. We'll just leave it at that for now. I think that most everybody should be recieving their cards and stuff, although Karmi's might be late because I sent it to the California address in hopes that it would get there before you left... but I don't think it did, heh. Whoops. ^_^;; There's something that I really, really want to do in the Anthology forum, but I haven't had the chance to sit down and work on it. I love the idea, though, and I think once I get it going, it's going to be awesome. So I guess look out for something new. ^_~ I think we're going to watch the extras in the Return of the King DVD now. After I make breakfast. Yeeshes.

Painted Faces On Parade On iTunes: Nothing.. but I've got songs in my head. Tonight I went and saw Phantom of the Opera with my dear, dear friends and it was an absolute blast. The movie, first of all, is way better than I thought it would be. I had a lot of fears going into this (just because I dearly dearly love it and I've been hearing mixed things), but it really turned out stunning. There are a few things I didn't agree with or didn't particularly like (like the Phantom's missing red mask of death and big, cool hat in the Masquerade scene! WTF?!), but in the end, I still cried. lol The music, obviously, was incredible. It makes me want to sing so badly, but then I remember I suck at it. And then I probably sing anyway.. but you get the picture. There were so many moments when one of my favorite songs would come up and I'd squish back in my seat and squeal quietly to myself. Like in the very beginning, with the unveiling of the chandelier or when Christine and Raul are on the roof. Pure joy, people. After the movie, we stopped at Steak n Shake and had us a grand old time, talking about leather pants and swishy cloaks and other such things. I love those girls to death, though - some people just click, and it's all laughter, all the time. It's a pity we all go to different schools. T.T So, how about that Christmas haul? Everybody seems to be listing what they got, heh, but I'll just stick with what I really, really like. Such as: The Matrix box set, The Temptations Greatest Hits CD, a particular kind of jasmine-spelling spray that I love from aromatherapy, the Exorcist DVD (with the added scenes and all that), Hero DVD (even though I haven't seen the movie - yet ^__^), and this cute little journal that has sequins and beads sewn into the cover. I love those things. It's about 2:50 AM right now, so I should probably go to bed. Although Monday means there will be no transportation for us to actually get up and do anything, so maybe I'll just waste the day sleeping. I so loathe the idea of eventually getting a job.. which is why I'm going to be a teacher instead. ^_~

It's Up To Your Knees Out There On iTunes: "Baby It's Cold Outside" Rod Stewart and Dolly Parton So that's one of my favorite Christmas songs ever. It's so wonderful and it makes me all giddy and happy inside. That, and I just like the idea of it - if you know the lyrics, then you know what I mean. ^_~ Merry Christmanzanukkah, Everybody! I hope that everybody has a wonderful, warm, lovely holiday with friends and family and hot chocolate and fluffy scarves and mistletoes. Any excuse to snuggle is a good one. Now, pardon me while I finish wrapping presents. o_O;;

Corneria. Fourth Planet of the Lylat System... On iTunes: Nothing - but there's Starfox in the background. YES!! I have that entire opening memorized. Seriously. The dentist appointment wasn't so bad. I've definitely had worse. The nurse lady who cleaned my teeth was actually really nice - she went to Rollins, which is a private college about 20 minutes away, and she likes reading. We talked about English and books and Lord of the Rings. It was both unexpected and entirely welcome. I also got the chance to finish shopping today, hallelujah. I had no idea what I was going to get my mom and dad but then I had an epiphany and found some stuff and that made the whole experience much, much better. My advice to those who have not yet finished their shopping: make sure you know what you're getting first. It makes the whole thing much less painful. ^_^;; I've finished off a couple scarves and I'm starting on another. Hopefully I have enough yarn, but I don't think it'll be a problem. The great thing about yarn is that it's so freaking cheap anyway and because I can actually make things out of it, I feel no guilt whatsoever in blowing ten or fifteen bucks on a few different rolls. It's so wonderful, lol. We're going to start making cookies and stuff tonight, I'm so excited. It's a family tradition - every Christmas we make tons and tons of cookies. When I was younger, my mom didn't work so we had way more time to get stuff done, and thus more cookies. We still get quite a few done, though, and they're fabulous: chocolate chip, peanut butter, little sugar ones with christmas patterns, orange cookies, snickerdoodles.. le siiiigh. They're just so beautiful! [/tears of joy] So I had to restrain myself from signing up for a whole bunch of new RPGs. I just don't know if I have the time. I'm sure I'll regret this later when I follow them avidly. Oh well. Expect Christmas cards soon, you fantabulous people you! =D
