Weekend of Nothing!

As I'm sure you've already guessed, I didn't do a whole lot this weekend. Yet, every time I go home I always feel like there isn't enough time for me to do everything I want to do. So.. I did nothing, but I didn't get it all done. Yeah, that makes sense. Speeding, it takes about four hours to get back to Orlando. The drive down was.. alright. Nothing special. Though I didn't know the other girl in the car, and so I did get to talk to her a bit, and get to know her a little, and all that good stuff. I have decided, though, that stopping for food on the highway is a really stupid idea. Get a cooler, load it with soda and food, and just drive. Only stop to stretch your legs or pee. Or both, and be economical like that. But don't stop to eat, unless of course it's at an actual restaurant. If that's the case, then go all out. But otherwise, don't do it, it's a trick. Halloween was.. uneventful. I came home with no costume and no ideas, but slowly a costume was made. Black robe, black stockings, combat boots, freaky make-up, crazy hair... I think I was some sort of witch/scary person. Only I didn't have a chance to really show any body because by the time the damn thing was finished, no more kids came to the door. And it was only like 8:30, 9-ish. What is wrong with kids these days? They disgrace the sport that is Trick-or-Treating. I did watch Holes, though, and I saw a friend of mine, so it wasn't a total waste. And there was some candy involved, naturally. Saturday, I did some laundry, played some Super Mario All-Stars (kicked some dinosaur princess butt), gave my dog some excersize and then spoiled her rotten (hehehehehehe), and then.. I can't remember. Oh wait, I went across to the high school because there was a rehearsal going on, and so I thought I'd drop in and say hi to all them youngens. Half of them were sick, but hey, it was still good to see them. Later, my sister and I went to see Kill Bill, but not before stopping off at one of my best friend's house to give her a "puppy" and a flower. She was really sick, and so I thought a little visit might cheer her up. We hung out there for about an hour, probably a little more, before heading over to the cinema place. I'm so used to going to movies for free, and then this place goes and charges $6.50 for a ticket. And by the time we got food and all that (I was starving), it was a tad more than what I'd hoped to spend. Damn movies. But Kill Bill was excellent. Strange, very strange, but still a lot of fun. I can't wait to see the next volume. Though it was funny when the couple who sat in front of us left five minutes into the movie. Maybe I'm just cheap like this, but if I payed seven bucks for one damn ticket, I'd make sure I saw every freaking minute of the movie. Alas, I truly am a college student. Woe is me. Donations are always accepted. ^_^ Sunday was my brother's birthday, and that was fun. Went to Amigo's, the best Tex-Mex restaurant EVER OPENED. I love that place, and my family really goes there all the time. Before it was really popular, we always got the same waiter, and he knew what we were going to order every time. And that's always fun, you know. Afterwards we had to hurry and eat cake and unwrap presents for Matt's birthday, and my laundry still wasn't done yet, but my ride was pretty much ready to go. So yeah, hence the "never enough time" thing. The trip back to Tally was much better then the one to Orlando, even though it was almost entirely in the dark. By 8:00, I was exhausted, and that's a little sad. But we got in by 8:30, and so I unpacked and pretty much just went to bed. I'm still really tired, so I think maybe I'll take a nap today. Sometime. Maybe. Something Corporate in two weeks!! Yeehah!!

Hocus Pocus!

Well, it's officially Halloween!! Yeehah! I don't have a costume idea, though, and that's sad. Especially since I always wait till last minute. Last year, though, I had a great costume, just from random clothes. I... was an English Paperboy. The best damn paperboy you ever did see, too. But this year.. I just haven't really had time to think about it. That, or I just.. haven't thought about it. So I came up with the stupid, cop-out idea of being my "ulter-ego" and just dressing dark and evil-like. Except that, as my dear roomie pointed out, my ulter-ego would probably wear pink and lots of make-up and heels and skirts and all that. And that just made me shiver - there's some real terror. Just give me jeans and my baseball cap and I'll be fine and dandy, thank you! Today should prove to be amusing, though. I'll be leaving about 2-ish, probably, and will be driving home with my silly male friends. Should be an interesting four hours, to say the least. But golly-gee-whiz, am I looking forward to the candy and the costumes! I love this holiday. It's always so much fun, and I always stay up late pigging out and playing video games, or watching scary movies, or BOTH.. dun dun dunnn!! I really should go to bed, but I just don't want to. I'm having too much fun. So onto you guys, what are you doing for Halloween? What costumes, what candies? Are you going to give me candy? Please?

Break Myself

I finally got North, and I am VERY pleased with it. So I thought I'd share some of my pleasure with all of you, cause I'm awfully swell like that. I don't quite know why I chose this sing to write down here, cause it's not really my favorite song on the album. It's hard for me to choose a favorite anything, though, so that's probably not the right word to use. More like.. preferred song, at this point. But it's still good. I think maybe I just kind of like the idea of this one. Let's ponder this, shall we? I'm on fire And the day is feeling hopeless You'd see me burning But the burning's turning smokeless Soon I won't feel at all - no It's electric The neon hurt inside your phone call The layered sadness and the madness it revolves Bringing down the walls where you found love - no I'm willing to break myself To shake this hell from everything I touch I'm willing to bleed for days - my reds and grays So you don't hurt so much Now I'm static As your sky is turning purple and gray I'm learning that the further that I crawl The further that I fall - is that ok - no And you're in pieces As your world becomes a rainstorm You've got no shelter - I'm a thousand miles away If you survive the day you say Say you're leaving I'm willing to break myself To shake this hell from everything I touch I'm willing to bleed for days - my reds and grays So you don't hurt so much So you don't hurt so much Never again - will we fire this gun Never again - you're the only one Never again - but you're already gone I'm willing to break myself - I'm not afraid I'm willing to break myself - I'm not afraid I'm willing to break myself - I'm not afraid I'm willing to break myself To shake this hell from everything I touch I'm willing to bleed for days - my reds and grays So you don't hurt so much So much So much So much So much

Stupidism

Stupid, stupid, stupid computer. Okay, I have a fun little story to tell. Yesterday, I had to write a quick little paper, 500 words, about a play I saw for my theatre class. Great play, so I figured writing it wouldn't be any big deal. Only, I wanted to see a movie later - The Seven Year Itch. That, and I also wanted to get online later, so I could talk to Ellie about top secret business, so I knew that I should probably get the thing done BEFORE the movie. And by god, I did! For once in my life I was finished with my homework at 6:30, and then after the movie, I came home, all ready to get on, and there's something wrong with the internet connection. Can you believe that? The one time I actually do all my homework and all that, and don't procrastinate, I'm punished for it. >.< Divine intervention! God wants me to procrastinate!! *cough* ...That's.... my story.

Wowzers

Guess what I'm doing? Procrastinating. Yup. Good times. You want to know what's funny about this? I have a test tomorrow in Mythology. Still haven't finished the study guide. Yup. This week is gonna be a blast, I can already tell. Call it... ESP. "Expecting Satanic Powers." I leave you to ponder that, and how it has come to pass that I still have friends, despite my dorkness.

Having some fun with myOtaku, changing things up, and all that good stuff. Except the mystery of my background color is still confusing as hell. I can't figure out how to change it. I'd like it to be black, but it seems as though it rather wants to be orange. Meh. But at least I have a picture, now. This felt all... wrong without a picture. Now, it feels and looks much better, and considering my limited knowledge of HTML, I'd say it looks just dandy. Either way, if anybody can help out, that'd be beautiful. I'll be here until you get back, savvy? ^_~ EDIT: It changed! Good lord, it's a miracle!! .....but it's still not black. >.>
