This is MY Wonderland...

The world is changed because you are made of ivory and gold. The curves of your lips rewrite history. I was feeling rather poetic. Heh, my hats off to anyone who can guess where that's from. ^_~ It's been an interesting day. My history teacher is a riot. Dr. Robbins is her name, and sleeping with the staff is her game, apparently. So she tells us. ^_~ Either way, I think it's going to be a very fun class, so I'm quite excited about that one. Astronomy. Yeah, we'll see. I'm not looking forward to any of the calculations, but I don't want the math to ruin it for me. Especially since I'm paying for it and all. Well.. you get what I mean. The Lab for that should also be interesting. More fun, I think, than the actual class, but as I said before, we'll see. I think now only time will tell. I've noticed though, in the past few days, that I've been feeling strangely confident. More than usual. And I think I could get used to this, heh. It's a fabulous way to start the new year and the semester, at any rate. So that's my question for all you people - notice any changes in the new year? For yourself, for others, for anything in general? I can foresee one immediate change in my life as of now: I'm going to have to study a lot more than I did last semester. *cries* 'The time has come,' said the Walrus, 'To talk of many things.."

Come With Me and Escape!

Current Mood: Feeling Strangely Fine ^_~ Listening To: Poor Misguided Fool by Starsailor Well guys, today was the first day of the spring semester. It's weird starting in the middle of the week. I mean, in high school, it doesn't matter when you start, cause your classes are all the same. But obviously, it's not the same with college. I was kind of amused by that. Eheh. Yeah. So I actually got up this morning pretty easily, and really, that doesn't surprise me. It's the first day.. it's on your mind, so you body just kind of.. wakes up. I'm pretty sure that tomorrow, I'll be screwed. Good thing I don't have class till 12:30, though. ^_~ Right, so I had that math thing this morning. The teacher is a lady, and she seems pretty fair, as far as the grading and quizzes and homework and all that go. She doesn't really have much of a personality yet, but I think with a couple days of class that'll set in. My Shakespeare teacher, however, is sort of amusing. She's a little older, probably in her fifties, and thankfully seems to really enjoy Shakespeare. So that's going to be a lot of fun. The class is relatively small, as well. Only about twenty, twenty-five people. So we've got that, and then we've got her rules about her essay that we'll be writing at the end of the semester. Obviously, that's a long way away, so she didn't really tell us much, but she did say that there will not be a required number of pages. I love that. ^_^ Freedom!! At last!! I was also supposed to have Recitation today for math, but Math Lady said there was no point in going, so I didn't. Fancy that. All in all, a pretty swell day so far. Short, too. Done at 11. After that I went and got my books, although I'm still missing two of them, and then headed back to the dorm. It's kind of cool out. Not terribly cold like it was earlier today when I first went to class (oh my god, it was cold!), but it's still chilly enough to warrant some layers. At least, for any thin-blooded Floridian like me. ^__^;; Not much else going on at the moment. Though if I want to try and be a RA for next year, I should probably pick up one of the forms. I'll get around to it eventually... just like my unpacking. Heh heh. Yup. Your kung-fu is weak!

Alrighty then.

Current Mood: Relaxed Listening To: Come Around by Sister Hazel It never fails. Just like last semester, I spent my first night in the dorm outside in the freezing cold because of the stupid fire alarms. The first time, I had been unpacking - some people already know about that one. I decided to take a little walk then instead of just hanging around the dorm, waiting for the alarm to stop ringing and/or waiting for the building to burn down. And I got across the street, and it started to rain. Then, after I had gone to bed and I was nice and cozy and sleeping, it went off again. I don't know what time it was, but it was cold as hell, and we were out there for a long ass time. When I got back in, it was 5 in the morning. Apparently that was a real fire, though, on the top floor. I don't know anything past that, though. So I slept in longer than I wanted to because of it, and though it didn't actually screw my day over or anything, it put me in a bit of a mood this morning. I don't know how I'm going to get up for math at eight AM tomorrow. That's going to hurt. I also just got back from selling my books. After waiting in that horrible, horrible line, I got $25.50 back. T.T I don't know if that would have been the price the entire time, or if I just got ripped off because I sold them back after break instead of before. Either way, I didn't get as much money from them as I would have hoped. Curses! And it's still cold out. Not freezing, but sweaters are definitely in order. I think I'm going to use my pretty new jacket next time I go out - I still have to buy my books for this semester, but I'm a little confused as to how that's going to work. Because I didn't get as much money as I'd hoped, I'm going to defer the money to my financial aid stuff, which doesn't come in till the end of the week. Except you have to print out all this crap to show them, and I can't find the one page they want, so........ Despite the craziness of my day so far, I'm actually in a pretty good mood. Maybe that's because I might get to see darling Shin this summer. ^__^Still not done unpacking, though. >.> Whoopsie. Tori, however, gave me quite a scare this morning when I read her mO. I hope you and Ryan feel better soon, Queenie. Stay safe. All of you, or I might have a nervous breakdown. ^_^;;

Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Current Mood: Amused Listening To: David Bowie!! Yes!! You know, this is going to be silly and pointless and probably obscenely short, but I'd like to explain to you all the wonders of the time 11:11. First of all, it's just ones. Straight across. How many times do you get that? Well.. twice a day, but nevermind logic. It's still fun. Second, it's from a very beautiful song that I love. Third, me and Natalie (the roomie) keep catching the clock at 11:11. It's kind of weird. I don't really get it at all, but somehow, one of us does it. And tonight I've learned that good things happen at 11:11. ^_~ So you see, my people, that the time in which I speak of is truly a great time to behold. And with that said, I bid you all adieu. Parting is such sweet sorrow.

Well this has been quite a night.

Current Mood: Contemplative Sort of Watching: Back to the Future, numero 3 I'm feeling rather.. er... well, sentimental? Perhaps? It's really hard to explain, actually, but I'm obviously going to try. This is why I post in here, anyway. Right. Okay. I've met a ton of cool people recently. A ton. And I'm sure that in the next couple weeks, I'm going to get to know even more people. It's some sort of vicious cycle, I think, only not so vicious. And through all this meeting and getting to know people, I've realized that a lot of them are just.. underestimated. Or maybe it's more that they just haven't been given the chance to really show their true colors. I don't know. People only skim the surface, maybe. Which, I think I'm guilty of doing myself. Unfortunately. Buggar. But anyway. Yes. Go read Sennen's blog Otaku thingy, because he's the coolest thirteen year old ever. And Gen. He's so sweet, and you'd never know it. And if he reads this, he's going to kill me. ^_~ Needless to say, there are others I'm thinking about. Some more than others, and some maybe a little too much, but hey. What can you do. I guess I'm just trying to say thanks to all you mondo-cool people out there. You guys make it all worthwhile, and I seriously love you all for that. Don't ever change, keep on shining, and all that other mushy, inspirational crap.

Epiphany!

Current Mood: Joyous! Listening To: The Nightmare Before Christmas Soundtrack I've just had a brilliant idea. No, seriously, stop laughing. I was just browsing the Literature section on the boards, reading some of the poetry and other people's comments and whatnot (by the way, PoisonTongue's a freaking genius or something. I'm a little afraid.), and I was thinking, "Hey, wouldn't it be cool if somebody wrote a poem about me?" And then came the great idea: What if those of us who could write poems (and even some of us who can't) wrote some poems about any member of OB without ever giving away the name of the person? Think of the possibilities! Then everybody else could try and guess to see who the poem is about. So naturally, the more obscure or symbolic the writing is, the more of a challenge it would be, for both the poet and those guessing! Obviously, I'm rather excited about this. It almost makes me want to try my hand at it, just for fun, but I keep forgetting that I suck at poetry. ^_^;; Either way, it's just a cool idea I had. Maybe it'll catch on. Maybe people will laugh and point. Whatever, I'm still adding it to "Megan's Numerous Accounts of Brilliance" list. *eyes glaze over fondly*

Goodness me, Mr. Frog!!

Current Mood: Just coming down from a caffeine high, I think. >.> Listening To: the Chicago soundtrack Wow. Today's been... interesting. ^_^;; To say the least. I woke up at 8:30 this morning, which is early for me since I've been very lazy this break, and me and my sister went with my dad to work to help him out a bit. We stapled these booklets. O.O I will never look at staples the same way again, and I'm almost positive the sound of it will haunt my dreams for many months to come. It was fun though. We were disgustingly silly while my dad made some errands and whatnot, and then we had pizza for lunch, and then we went home around noon. So for most of the day, actually, I was a bit hyper. And the boards didn't help. At all. But it is very flattering to look in the Otaku Awards thread and see my name so many times. I had no idea that many people actually knew me. o.O Anyway, for all those who did vote me for something, and all those who thought about it, thank you kindly. It's truly very nice of you. ^_^;; Been chatting to a lot of people today, too. It's a lot of fun to get to know everybody. It's slow work, but I've definitely made a lot more friends in the last few weeks and it's been very enjoyable. Floozy. Hee hee, what a great word. Sorry, that was random. More football tonight. Ohio State tonight. WE MUST WIN. I just don't think I can handle both of my teams losing. And I've only got a couple days of break left. Monday I'll be driving back up to FSU with my friend Craig. Despite it being the two of us, I'm afraid that the car is going to be very packed. >.> Stupid Christmas. Heh. So I've been doing lots laundry and such. And such. >.< I'm so weird. A new semester. Hmm. I'm looking forward to it, but I'm also dreading it. Mostly because I have an 8AM math class. What the hell was I thinking? I'm going to hate myself so much in the next few months. Feel free to ignore me when it happens. It'll be nice to see how Natalie and Brittany and the rest of those silly FSU people are, though. Except.. I'm afraid my RA might hate me now... eheh.. that could be awkward. ^_^;; In other news, Shin is the best! ^_~

New Years, Puzzles, and fooooootball.

Current Mood: I'm kind of hungry, actually... Watching: Florida/Iowa game. Lose, Gators, lose!! First and foremost, thanks to those who left notes and all that for the last entry. It's been, like I said, a roller coaster few days here, but hopefully that was the end of it. And I actually did have an enjoyable night, though I didn't do much. Heh, half of it was spent talking to Shin, then I played some Mortal Kombat, and then Dynasty Warriors, and then we watched Time Sqaure and all that crazy nonsense, and then we worked on... a puzzle. Yes, it was a thrilling evening, indeed. Frankly though, I think that was probably for the best. It gave me - and my family - a chance to just.. relax. Forget about the week, and instead start focusing on the future. I mean, what else is a New Years celebration for? Our neighbors came over just after midnight, and they were pretty drunk already. Which was kind of funny, since I've known them for god knows how long. Their daughter Erica was already over, and then some of my sisters friends also came, though unexpected. They're pretty cool guys, though, and we all had fun with the devil puzzle. 500 pieces of trees, blue sky, and a German castle. That, and we have a tradition of eating pork, sauerkraut, and mashed potatoes at midnight every New Years - we're slightly German, if you couldn't tell. So that was my night. How bout the rest of you crazy daddios? Doing anything spectacular? See some great fireworks displays? The one thing I wanted to see more of last night was fireworks - I kept picturing James's pictures of the show they had in Australia and so my neighbors little street things didn't really seem like much. ^_~ As far as resolutions go, I've got some things I want to work on. One of them is to actually use the school gym so I can keep myself in shape. The other is to try and express myself a little more - be honest with my thoughts/feelings for once, instead of just trying to make people happy. Well, those, and I plan to take over the world one day. The key is to gain control of the oil resources. Oh yes. Oil. I'm going to take some more quizzes now at Emode.com. I'm also going to blame Shin for this, even though it's technically my fault since it was my idea in the first place. >.> Details. Later, though, we're going to a family friend's house to.. watch more football and hang out. She's got a son my age, and then one a few years younger, and you'd think that's pretty convienant. But I can't stand that kid. May god have mercy on my soul.

Holy Mother of God.

Current Mood: Moody Listening To:You're So Real by Matchbox Twenty These last couple days have been a little too crazy for me. Not really busy-crazy, but I keep going through these ridiculous highs and lows and it's really starting to drive me up the wall. One minute I'm back from Peter Pan, feeling great because the movie was all that I'd hoped it would be, and then the next minute I reminded of how much some people suck. My Aunt is a nun, and for the longest time she's been a professor in a catholic college. I've never known her very well at all, and I've only just learned in the past year about her depression. Most of my dad's family has it, one way or another, so it wasn't all that surprising. Just the extremity of it is, and a few months back she'd gone through a really horrible relapse into it. She had to drop all the classes she'd been teaching and actually had to get medical treatment because of it. And now, just as she's about ready to get her life back, get back to the school and start teaching again and gain some semblance of normalcy, they kick her out for causing a disturbance. So I just want to know, how many people in my family are going to be screwed over before the year ends? There's still some odd five hours.. there's time left. Would you like me to draw a name out of a hat for you? Make it easier to choose? (If you can't already tell, I'm a little bitter right now. A lot bitter. And I definitely don't have high hopes for tonight, to say the least. What a way for my break to come to a close. God Bless America. I hope at least the rest of you have a better time than I've been having. It can't be that hard, after all.)
