I have a confession to make..

You know how my background has recently gone from boring old white to a rather chipper orangish-yellow? Well... I have no idea how that happened. True story. I think I've just about caught myself up again on the boards. Of course, I say that, and then by tonight everyone will have posted something new and I'll have to start all over again. But honestly, I don't mind. Story telling is fun! I'm trying really hard to persuade myself to leave the dorm room and go do some homework in the library. Some mythology questions, at least. And I have an essay in that class that is really coming up fast that I have yet to do any work on. That, combined with the rest of the homework I have this weekend, means I should really try and get some done today so I don't kill myself tomorrow. I am so lazy. Here's something exciting, though - I have officially finished my first college course! Wheee! It was actually one of those crappy pass/fail things, and it ended early. But it's done! Over with, finished, Kaput! I am exceedingly happy because of it. Meanwhile, my dearest friend up in NY was telling me about the first dance at Sarah Lawrence - the "coming out" dance, themed Pirates of the Queeribean. How cool is that? I think I went to the wrong damn school. Either way, today is game day and I'm not at the game.. which is sad, yes, but I also haven't been feeling the greatest, and being surrounded by loud, noisy, drunk fans in the heat didn't sound like the best cure. Hopefully some good R&R will help this little lady out. Meanwhile... I had an interesting idea for a story the other day (actually... last night, or maybe very, very early this morning...), and though it's actually only more of a prologue sort of thing, I'm very curious about seeing where this thing could go. So I started writing a little bit, and lemme just say that it feels good to have story ideas again. Writers' block can just kiss my white ass. So there.

Mac and Cheese

Mmm, good dinner. They're showing Pirates of the Caribbean over at the Student Life Building, and I am SO going. Who would pass up a night of free Johnny Depp? Certainly not I! But it's also playing Friday, along with some groovy band, and I'll definitely be there for that. Should be a blast. I just need to find somebody to go with. One of my goals for the summer is to find a job. A good one, at least one in a book or video store, somewhere like that where I can enjoy myself to some extent. I have high hopes, I suppose, but I'm not going to settle for fast food. I will never work there, so help me god. But that way I'll get some cash to save up, eventually buy the bug convertible I want, and keep on saving whatever else I've got for tickets to see my dearest friend Meg up in New York. That, and I desperately want to see The Lion King on broadway. Apparently, my family is talking about going on a real vacation this summer, as well. Like, to London. I would love that. I love London, and I love the people in it. Some good times right there. But if we don't go overseas, then there's been talk of New Orleans. I was born there, and I don't remember any of it at all. To go and see it would mean a lot to me; that, and I wouldn't mind partaking in that delicious creole food... mmm, pass the jambalaya! Either way, it looks to be a very rewarding summer, one way or the other. Does it strike any one else as weird that I'm already planning for summer when Christmas isn't even here yet? Riiiight...

Do be do be doooo..

Math quiz this morning! Oh, how I love math. Seriously though... I need to bring my grade up in there or something. I don't even know what it is.. probably somewhere between a C and a B, but that's not good enough. It's one of those things where if I only studied more often, there wouldn't be a problem. But that just means doing more math. It's a vicious cycle, damnit. After that, my darling theatre class (the one with all the stupid responses) and then my not so darling FYE class. I regret taking that class, but thankfully, today is the last day of it. It's only one of those pass/fail classes and it doesn't last the whole semester. Whoohoo for small miracles! On a more sad note, I feel as though my writing has been... slipping lately. I'm not really sure if it is, or if that's just me being a bitch to myself again. It is sad that none of the threads I'm in seem to be making it.. maybe I'm cursed. Shucks. Then again, maybe I'm just being too much of a pessimist. I really do take things too seriously, sometimes. However, I am now a woman on a mission. If I don't get the new SoCo CD within... five days, I'm just going to bust a cap. I'll implode, from the inside, killing everyone in it's wake. True story.

Jesus.

I'm procrastinating like mad again... it's my freaking life story, I tell you. ...I say "I tell you" a lot, don't I? Hmm... oh well! Something Corporate is coming up... aieeee!! And I've got all the tickets I need now... I had them before, if you recall, but a dear friend of mine was like, "Yo, please get me the hook up!" And I was like, "Word!" So yeah... I finally got that last ticket. Which means a total of three girls visiting, which means five girls in our shabby little dorm room. Now that's a party. Pillow fight!! Anyway... I have a response due. It's a small response (250 words) but I kind of didn't read the play... I actually think I'm just over-stressing myself about this because I don't have class until 11 tomorrow, and yet my brain is sitting grumpily in my head, wigging out on me because I'm still on the boards. Screw you, brain. What do you think of that? Okay, I'm seriously going to start now. No, really. Honest.

How British are you? this quiz was made by alanna <--back ** Guys, I'm pretty sure I'm insane. We bought little pumpkins today to decorate. We being my roomie and I. We're going to put our names on them. And then put them somewhere. We haven't figured out where yet, and we don't quite know what we're going to decorate them with, but... still! Good times! Yeah for Halloween! I think I'm going to watch Unbreakable now... I'll probably never sleep tonight..

Well, golly gee!

I think it would be appropriate to tell you that I name most everything I own. So when my dearest roomie calls me crazy, she's probably not too far from the truth. Here's a list of my friends so far: Charles Williams (Chucky Wills, or just Chucky or Wills): My beloved PowerBook G4 Pikachu: My beautiful sony stereo with wood panelling. Le sigh. Steve: The printer. Einstein: The Microwave. Yes, even the Microwave has a name. Squirtle: My iPod, whom I doth cherish greatly. Pippin: The dreaded cellphone. I have to tell you, I hate cellphones. It's the bane of my existance, but moving away to college made it rather necessary to keep in touch, and the cellphone (complete with stupid plans) makes it very easy. Damn the ease with which technology is taking over my life! It would please me greatly if I could help Natalie name some of her things, but she's been quite resistant to the idea. I'll have to start talking to her appliances behind her back or something. Name them secretly. Maybe one day she'll come back and I'll have little post-its all over her stuff, with silly little names. Heh heh, hmmm.... I have yet to name my lamp. And the room. I'd like to give the room it's own name. When I get a car, of course, I'll have to christen it with something appropriate, as well, but that looks to be a very faraway day, indeed. So that's a little bit more of my insanity for your viewing pleasure. And, you will be pleased to know that I did finish my homework. For tomorrow, at least. Still stuff to do for the rest of the week, but hopefully like I did today, I'll have more time to post sporadically through the day. Get back into the swing of things. I don't know about you guys, but sometimes I think I am in serious need of some psychotherapy or something. I'm a walking contradiction. Me and a friend are thinking about forming a club. We might even make t-shirts, just for fun. Whooo. --- My Weekend was one of immense pleasure. It was so much fun, and so relaxing, though a little more sleep probably would have been appropriate. But hell, it was just nice to see everybody. Friday I went over to the high school football game and sadly, not much has changed, besides ticket prices. They still suck major balls. It was not worth my spit, let alone $6. Then afterwards, my friend Babs came over and we indulged ourselves in a little bit of Super Mario All-Stars on the old SNES. Now those are some good times. Around one-ish, we were feeling a tad hungry, so we drove over to Steak N Shake and had a merry old time eating and chatting with Greg, who graduated some odd years before us and is currently employed at said restaurant. He gave us some deformed forks, with which I will now brush my hair, just like they do in Disney movies. Turns out he was nearly done with his shift and was going to a party at Joey's, who also graduated before us, and invited us to come along. And so we did. The party was pretty much dead when we got there, and Joey himself was alseep (we laughed at him... jolly good times!), but there were still some drunk people to amuse us and movies to watch. We put in Monty Python and the Holy Grail (the one reason why I will forever love the British), and watched that. I only drank a bottle of Mike's Hard Lemonade because I figured it would not be smart to get drunk and then show up at home like a trashy, wasted whore or something. But in actuality, neither of us went home - we spent the night there. Later, my dad and I decided it was probably better that my mom just be left uninformed of this. Saturday, I went shopping with the family and looked for Homecoming Dress for my sister (which is next weekend for her). Then, I called up some of my buddies and we headed over to fellow FSU student Chris' so they could see him before he went to HHN (the damn thing sold out). We stayed for about an hour, chatted and watched the OSU game (go Buckeyes!!), before heading over to the local park and tossed around the frisbee. That soon broke, so we threw the football instead. Later, we played on the swings a bit like tiny little tots and I took a bunch of pictures. For dinner, I went to Outback with the family again. Jesus H. Christ, I miss those meals. It was so much fun, and I had steak. Medium rare, juicy, perfect steak, dripping with A-1. It was so beautiful, I nearly cried. After dinner, my siblings and I decided to go bowling, and then we called up some friends and did just that. My brother had some of his friends come along, and I went and picked them up out of the goodness of my heart. Midnight bowling, though, is quite a bit of fun. Even if I do suck at it. My highest score was an 88. In my defense, I didn't do all that well, but hey, it was a blast. Sunday was spent lounging about, driving the five hours back to Tallahasse, eating at MoMo's with my dad, and then getting ready for Monday. I didn't do much, actually, because the weekend just mellowed me out. That was definitely what I needed, and I'm glad I got to go home. Especially to see my dog. However, I did find that it was a little weird.. because as much as I miss everybody, my silly little dorm room is growing on me, and the indepence I have here is wonderful. My mindset has been changing a little bit, and while I'm happy for it, it also makes me a little sad because I realize that things ARE changing, and whether I like it or not, I'm growing up. The people I know are growing up, changing, moving on. I think I've expressed it before, but I'm not a big fan of change. At all. But I'm slowly getting used to it. And like I said, that's good, but also sad. That's just the way it is, though. And now, I think it's time this little cowpoke went to bed. Which reminds me, though, does anybody remember the show "Hey Dude"? Damn, talk about good times... okay, random insertion, sorry bout that. G'night, ladies and gents.

I'm procrastinating like hell right now, and will probably stay up late because of it. But at least I don't have class until eleven tomorrow.
