Holy Mother of God!!

Current Mood: Kind of lazy/sleepy... yeah. Listening To: Something from Cowboy Bebop.. Don't know what the title is. I haven't been paying a whole lot of attention to this, lately. It seems like a lot of people aren't in general though. Holidays, tests.. it's a busy month. I think I'm going to make some cookies later. My sister just got home, so I'll ask her if she wants to help. Maybe. I love my sister and we get along fantastically and all, but there's still a rivalry there - you can't get rid of the sibling rivalry. That, and I need all the practise cooking I can get. I can't live on Easy Mac, Top Ramen and egg sandwhiches for the rest of my life, now can I? ....well, I probably could, actually, but that kind of ruins the argument, doesn't it? I need to start going to bed earlier, I think. Just for sanity's sake. Although late at night is becoming the only time I can actually get on, between everyone else using this silly computer. How I wish my Chucky Wills had an internet connection. I miss the familiarity of my laptop. (Did I spell that right? Oh, nevermind, I don't care.) I think right now, though, I'm going to make myself some breakfast.. er.... lunch, and then go play some videogames. Seriously been lacking in the PS2 department since I've been home. Let's remedy that, shall we? Mortal Kombat, here I come! .....I think I'm going to make myself an egg sandwhich. Heh.

Argh.

Current Mood: Headache Listening To: Nothing! Holy gods!! I should really just go to bed right now, but I wanted to check up on things really quick. I am SO not used to spending so much time with my crazy family. I miss my dorm, and that's probably the strangest thing I've ever said in my life. Well, not the strangest, but it's definitely up there. I do miss it, though. Just being on my own, not having somebody constantly looking over my shoulder. Not being able to go and do what I please whenever I want. It sucks, actually, but I guess that's something you get used to. There's that, and the fact that I haven't actually seen any of my friends since I got back. I don't think I've actually talked to any of them, either. Not to say I haven't called.. It's as I thought - everybody hates me. Oh, woe is me! Heh, melodrama. Yum. Whatever, I'll probably do some visiting tomorrow. If not for my loser friends, than at least the cool adult friends I have. Namely, old teachers. I know they'll be thrilled to see me, at least. Friday night I got to talk to my old Photography teacher and that was wonderful. Just like old times, minus all the chemicals and photo paper. Aren't you guys excited for Lord of the Rings? I know I'm about to pee my pants - saw a little promo for it today on that stupid fifteen minute movie critic show thing (I hate those guys), and it made me all tingly. What a turn-on. Okay, this turned out to be much longer than it was originally supposed to be. I miss my PowerBook - no internet connection on that baby, so that means no real privacy until everybody else goes to bed. I hate how open this computer is. Everybody can see everything - not that I'd be doing anything bad, but it's that whole "looking over your shoulder" thing again. Sometimes you just get a little tired of sharing your life, you know? Maybe me moreso than others, but hey. ^_~

Movies and itchy eyes, among others..

Current Mood: ....too many moods for one moment. Listening To: "Falling Away With You" - Muse I can't sleep. >.< It's like two in the morning, and a half an hour ago all I wanted to do was just curl up and go to bed. But now I can't sleep at all. What's up with that? Tonight I went and saw Love Actually with my sister and it's got like every British actor and his/her mother in it. And some very good looking guys and wonderfully romantic tales. All in all, a very good watch, although it made me sort of lonely. However, I'm going to have to beat back my closet romantic now. Damn it. My job is never done, I say. Because of this, though, and some other random impulses, I felt like listening to Muse. Beautiful Muse. It's quite soothing, actually. Right, the itchy eyes thing. All this leaving home, spending weeks upon weeks away from here, and then coming back has made me realize that I am indeed allergic to dog hair. Which sucks ass, because I love dogs - especially my dog. Thankfully, however, it does seem to go away. Or rather, I get used to it again. Either way, I'd rather have itchy eyes than live without my wittle puppy-wuppy. I'm a little hungry. I wish I had some Ramen noodles. That would be wonderful right about now. And I would gladly go out and buy myself some, except for the small detail that I don't have a car. Seeing as my parents don't seem to trust my driving anymore, I won't get one for a long time. At least until I have the money to buy it myself. By then, I could very well be dead. Which brings me to a rant - I live in a particularly nice house, I think, and my family isn't disgustingly rich or anything, but we're pretty secure. It makes me sick, however, to drive down to the Winter Park cinemas like we did tonight, seeing all these snobby high school jerks with their Mustangs and their BMWs and what have you, talking on cell phones and generally being a nuisance to my very existance. (Yes, they anger me.) Now you know as well as I do that they didn't buy that car. Or that cell phone. Or those designer jeans that they can't figure out how to wear properly - buy a belt, son. I don't even know what I'm ranting about. It just seems superficial to me, I guess. I love money, sad but true, and I guess it just bothers me to see so many kids with so much who don't seem to appreciate what they've got at all. Granted I could be wrong, and some of them I'm sure do realize how god damn lucky they are. I could just be stereotyping. But in any case, it urks me. All I want is some Ramen noodles. That's all I ask for. Speaking of cell phones, I want to throw mine out the window. I'm going to defenstrate my cell phone. Oh, that sounded cool. Now this is some stream of consciousness, right here. This is all crazy-talk. That's what it is. Which reminds me, Tony, I'm very sorry to hear about your impending doom. ^__^ Although it did, in a really twisted sort of way, brighten my mood quite a bit. You rock. I'll miss you when you die. Heh... er... yeah. I think it's time to stop the insanity for now.

Home for Christmas

Current Mood: Kind of bored, actually. Listening To: The crazy musac stuff from the Weather Channel I got home last night around eight o'clock. Took three and a half hours to get from Tallahassee to Orlando - a new record! That reminds me, of course, of Mario Kart, and now next time I drive back I'll be expecting to see this ghost car in front of me... >.>;; I feel like I need to make terra a special present or something to make up for doing so horribly on her quiz. Heh, but it was fun to take. Although it did make me think... she's had two people on OB ask her to marry her (I got that one wrong), and I'm slightly jealous. ^_^ But better than that, it gave me this funny marriage idea. I think it would be hilarious if instead of the usual "Married so-in-so on blah, blah blah", it was like "I only married him because somebody told me he was going to die" or something like that. Well, I thought it was funny, anyway. It sounded great in my head. First real day home and I've already been recruited to vacuum and do chores. Man, my work is never done. Le sigh. EDIT: Ha ha ha, I am triumphant!! Theatre Final Score= 21/20!!

Awesome Possum!

Current Mood: Vastly amused Listening To: ..eh, the voices in my head? Funny people make me laugh. Heh, what kind of a crazy world is this, anyway? Despite yesterday's random title, I'm glad somebody did get the reference. ^_^ Tony, I'm sure you were the prettiest princess of them all. Anyway, I got up this morning to go take my Mythology final, and I'm telling you right now I got a hundred on it. I did not get one question wrong, and I know at least one of the extra credit answers I gave was correcto. I also got my essay back, and I'm a little confused about how they graded it, but it's still a 95, so whatever. I've only begun to realize how psycho I can be when it comes to grades. Crazy stuff. But this does mean that I've definitely got an A in that class, and I'm expecting an A from theatre as well. Anthropology.. that could go either way. A or B; only time will tell. Math, B, I think. And that other one was just a pass/fail, and you'd have to be stupid to actually fail that one. So yeah, I say I did pretty well for my first semester of college. I talked to my parents yesterday about it, anyway, and my mom was ecstatic. lol, she's kind of funny. So now I've got to finish what little packing I've got left. Probably going to leave around 3:30-ish, depending on when my Dad gets here, and how fast we can get through the checking of my room. Gah. But I danced in the elevator in celebration of my successful completion of one semester of college. Though in Spring I think I'm technically on Sophomore status because of the college credit I got coming out of high school. Damn, I rock. So I'm feeling particularly elated right now, and increasingly amused with the people I know. Life is good. ^_^

Pretty, Pretty Princess

Current Mood: A little tired, actually. Languid. Listening To: My loud air-conditioning. Well kids, three exams down, one more to go. After the big fuss I made yesterday about mixing up the two exam times, I went and took the theatre final today and it was bloody easy. So naturally one feels a little silly, but at least that's over with. And I got a bit of a compliment from my TA about my responses and a "thanks for being a good writer," so that was nice. Still, I've got to finish up the study guide for the Myth exam tomorrow, as well as clean up this damn dorm room. I kind of have a lot to do now, I guess. Go Meg! It's funny how things work out like that, though. Go figure. ^_^ The Adventure Arena has been quite pleasing lately, as well. Some really good looking RPGs have been going up... people are putting more time into them, and the quality is just better - more mature, thought-out story lines. Granted, there will always be exceptions, but I think it's a good sign and a good change for the forum. Let's knock on wood, though, just in case. And as far as that goes, it's really interesting to see how everything is kind of evolving.. as far as RPG trends and that. Since Kill Adam went up, there have been a number of similiar threads following it. We can thank James and Shy for that I guess, heh. Like I said before though, I don't see it as a bad thing. Something bigger and better to look forward to. Laeth E'Thae has been fun. I've not yet finished my next post because of a combinations of studying for finals and procrastinating the hell out of what little time I've got left, but I think by this weekend it'll be up. Hopefully. It'll be interesting to see what happens once the two groups meet, anyway. After that, it'll be like the beginning of the end, so to speak. But this thread, as well as the many others that have gone up recently, has taught me quite a lot about what it takes for a good RPG. You've got to have the good ideas, the diverse cast of characters, a general plot and all that, naturally, but I'm talking more about the leadership aspect of it. Keeping things going, driving the plot where you want it to go without actually restricting the players' creative freedom.. it's all very good information to learn, and I've found the only way to get better is through experience. Hey, imagine that! ^_^ Already with Laeth E'Thae, for example, there are a ton of things I would do differently if I had the chance. Hopefully I can just use what I've learned to make the ending really swell. Either way, good luck to everybody's RPGs. Holidays tend to effect them, I've noticed. ---- It was rather rainy this morning, but now it's actually quite nice. Very windy, too. I think perhaps I shall fly today, just to disprove all the things you might say. ^_^ Gorgeous weather or not, I've got to start cleaning and packing and all that. Especially if I want spare time later to get on and be chatty and all that. Adios, my amigos!

Bah hum bug.

Current Mood: Flustered Current Music: "Sunburn" - Muse I really need to study for my exam tomorrow. Except, I'm pissed off, because I've been working on Mythology and worrying about that one when it's not until Thursday. Tomorrow is my Theatre exam, with 25 questions. Random crap from notes, basically. How do you study for that? Well, thank god I never skipped class, anyway. Hopefully the 5 extra credit questions will help me out. And my head hurts now! Great! I guess, to change this ugly, pessimistic attitude of mine, I should be glad I got some of the Myth study guide done. Whoo-fucking-hoo. Okay, hostility aside, all I've been doing is just working on that little baby story of mine. It would just be silly to anybody else, but you know when it's gotta be good for something when it's the only thing I can think about at all. Which is another reason why studying is driving me nuts, but hey. I hope that after this is all over, I return to some degree of normalcy. I mean... for me, anyway. Yeah. Right. Man, I still can't get over that exam thing. I need to pay more attention to dates or something. I don't know. I'm all.. frazzled now lol. I'll be going home Thursday. I think I said that yesterday, but whatever, I'm saying it again. I'm really looking forward to it, for various reasons, heh. By the way, thanks again for the advice and the special story time, Tony dahling. I think that's going to help. A lot. Either way, I'll be ordering pizza from Papa John's some time next week, lol. Yeah. You guys won't understand that, but it's pretty damn funny from these shoes. Okay, I feel better. Sort of. My head still hurts though. And Muse rocks!!

Damn you, hormones!!

Current Mood: All hot and bothered >.> Current Music: Something quirky from Cowboy Bebop Good Lord, I need a boyfriend. All weirdness aside, I've had some pretty interesting thoughts/conversations as of late. Going to see.. where this is going, I guess. Either way, it'll be good to go home and just CHILL. No more school, ha ha ha!! I need to lay off the caffeine. >.> Gots me lots of studying to do tomorrow, though, and then some scary finals. Speaking of, I did all right on the Anthro one. Got an 81 on it, which is better than I thought, but still disappointing in that weird way. That, and I'm a bit crazy when it comes to grades, so you know. Hey, it's 1:11! How fun is that? Me and the roomie have managed to catch the clock at 11:11 almost every night for a week and a half. It's a bit creepy, but it always makes me want to listen to Konstantine. Heh.

Current Mood: Lazy. And my head kind of hurts. Current Music: "Fly Me To The Moon" - Frank Sinatra It's been a very lazy weekend. I don't have another exam till Wednesday, but I really need to crack down and start studying. No more of this staying up till all hours of the morning, writing thing. Cause that's basically what I did. I love writing and all, but sometimes when you get that idea that just needs to get put to paper.. well, it's turning me into a pale little girl. Hopefully I'll get some of my creativity for other things back soon. All in all, I feel drained. Maybe I should eat something. >.> Hmm... Velveta Shells and Cheese, here I come!

It's a beautiful morning! ^_^

Current Mood: Refreshed Current Music: "Come Around" - Sister Hazel Ah, I just woke up. ^___^ That's so beautiful. Heh, I'm happy to inform everyone that I feel so much better right now. A good, long sleep, apparently, did wonders for me. And I can hear again! Good lord, it's a miracle! Last night was pretty fun, though. Me and Natalie went to the mall to look for shoes for her. She's got this christmas party thing with her church later tonight, and it's semi-formal, and she needs a pair of black shoes for it. So we looked around for some, and we actually found this awesome pair. See, she wanted some nice black shoes that were formal, but not so much that she couldn't wear them with jeans or something. And these shoes we found were perfect. They just didn't have her size. Don't you just hate that? I did see some shoes that I liked, however, and I'm going to look into them. Rocket Dog shoes. That's the brand name. They were fun. ^_^ Anyway, we got back, and I actually got on AIM. haven't done that in awhile. It was nice to talk to people. At midnight, though, they were showing Ferris Bueller's Day Off in the Student Life Building, and there's no way in hell I was going to miss that. So I got back around 2 -ish, talked to people a bit more, and then went to bed. All in all, a lovely Friday night. Joy! Okay, I'm about to go check and see if my grade on my Anthro final is up yet. Oh god, oh god, oh god. I'm so nervous.
