Sooo I'm typing this when I should be working. If there's a break in my train of thought here I caves to panic and stopped to start that paper. >_> I really should be doing that...Hmm. I've watched this episode of the Daily Show like three times now. Bleh. Ah well, I'll leave it on.

LIFE IS BUSY WTF. I feel like I've done so much work this week and still have more to do adfjalskdfjalsdfkj

So I changed my major. Not gonna be a doctor. Nope, not. I'm gonna teach English in Japan just like I said I would so long ago. Too bad I'm stuck in Chem and Bio and I don't need them now. Oh well, c'est la vie. I might fail Chem...whatever. I'll try not to, but...

Learning Japanese rocks. I love it. I need to learn to read better. I'll do that tonight if I gt this paper done. Golden Sun is eating my life though. Sad face.

[Interlude of working on paper here.]

Aaaand we're back. The first episode of Scrubs is on and it's distracting. Writing this paper is hard, but not too hard...It's not even long, but like...I never read the readings? So I'm sorta skim-picking and all...Hopefully the teacher will understand that as the only freshman in a class of seniors and grad students I really don't know exactly what I'd do in the hypothetical situation...

[Another interlude.]

I think I'm like...1/2 to 2/3 done with the first prompt now. sdfkjdklfalsdf. Do not want. At all. Okay, lied, I'm done with the first prompt. Only took me like 2.5 hours too. ;_; Makes me sad.

But now Employee of the Month is on, so it's cool.

...Fuck I was going to do this then got distracted and now I have to do homework. Crap. Later I'll do a real one!

So.

Lately I've been feeling down. It just now hit me that it's probably to do with the lack of sunlight and whatnot and all that that goes along with it being winter, and people getting depressed in January/February. I'm still gonna do this rant though, I think. Because my emotional half isn't sated by the logic of my logical half. First week back at school was fine. It's freezing though. Like REALLY freezing. It's bearable though. Started going to the gym again, and that's fun. I'm gonna try to go a few times a week if I can. Ohayocon is in two weeks and I'm nooooot readyyyy. I don't know what I'll do. I want to go but if my friends don't (some have hinted they might not) then it's not gonna be fun for me really. :\ I dunno. Chels and John are an official couple now (who didn't see that coming, huh?) and I'm glad for them. They had a fight but they got over it and who really doesn't fight anyways? Now I think Colton and Shayna might be getting into a thing together...which is cute, and makes me glad for them too...but I dunno. Maybe I liked Colton and didn't know it? Somehow I'm not happy. Maybe it's cause everyone's pairing up but me? Trying to go 'eh, don't need someone, plus I like being free to come and go as I please' but it's not working tonight. Stupid "Lips of an Angel" in my head now...yeah, way to help me out, brain. I do love that song though...Man I wish someone bothered to read my journal and stuff. I mean, I don't need feedback or anything, it's just disheartening to write this all and know that no one will even see it and move on, indifferent. Huhh...I like the privacy of it. But I want to be noticed. Hate homework. I don't have a lot, and it's not hard, I'm just slacking off like the bum I am. Some days I want to just start walking and see how far I can get. Too damn cold though. I'll wait til spring. It's funny, last time I felt this intensely in the 'wanna just GO' way, I was in like...8th grade or something. Dealing with major internal conflict and blah blah...I think I was confused about religion? Who'm I kidding, I was trying to be a pagan and either I liked it but felt guilty or something else. I can't remember. Crap, I have a headache. I really should get SOMETHING done...All I care about are internet pets and RPing, but I don't even have the spirit for that right now. Shoot. Again, who'm I kidding, I want to say shit. I don't know what's going on. I miss being perky, I miss being excited, I miss feeling motivated and driven. Part of me really just wants to go play the Sims now. Not that it'll do me any good. Maybe just going to bed would be best. Maybe tomorrow someone will notice me. Fuck I sound emo. I'm not emo. I hate emos, really...Emo looks like the word emu. I DO like emus, and I guess emo emus would balance out as neutral. Actually I'd probably dislike them. Saw friends from camp today. They think I'm so smart, it makes me feel like a jerk for slacking off so badly last semester. Gotta do better, gotta do better. Haaaahh, I want to go run on the treadmill again. Nothing to worry about there but to keep going. My bed is soft. Mmm. Wish the blankets would stay straight though. Pillow's nice too.

Dear Santa... Dear Santa, This year I've been busy! In May allie_the_neko and I donated clothes to the needy (11 points). Last Friday I donated bone marrow to hikaii in a life-saving procedure (300 points). In July I helped hikaii see the light (8 points). In April I gave allie_the_neko a Dutch Oven (-10 points). Last Tuesday I saved a busload of nuns in Angola (326 points). Overall, I've been nice (635 points). For Christmas I deserve a Sony Playstation 3! Sincerely, mandabcosplay

post as "i screwed up __% of my teenage life"

So. I heard a Christmas song the other day.

Fuck.

Now that's all I want to listen to! But I can't! But it puts me in such a good mood~

Okay. We're going to try this again. This posting every day thing. Yeah.

Updated my layout today, obviously. I love it, but I didn't get it quite right. Also I can't get my status stuff (mood/music) to be at the top of my entry. I know I saw how to change it, but no luck yet. I wish they layout worked better. Blah. I still love it though. Gankutsuou FTW.

In other news, plans for Tsubasacon fell through. Bummer. I blame Hillary. But I got a ticket for the football game Saturday, so that's fun...I think. Yeah. Hope it won't be too hot. Anyways. That's all the news school wise, 'cept I'm going abroad next year to Japan and I have two exams this week.

I think the guy who sits beside me in Chem might like me. He sorta puppy-dogged along with me a while while we were doing the lab and...I dunno. Got 'like' vibes, but I didn't pay him any real attention. I had The Count of Monte Cristo to read, and that's WAY more interesting.

Oh yeah, Japan next year. Dunno where precisely, but it'll be for the whole year. Oh. Yeah.

I'm SO EXCITED for NaNoWriMo. It's a physical struggle not to start work on my novel every day, but I'll get over it. Going to see Wall-E this weekend I think. Woo. It's 1:27am. Crap.

Life at college is good. I'm so settled into what I've got to do it's not funny, and I'm making friends. I've seen lots of people I know, which is great, and some of them I haven't seen in like...Eight years. So it's intense. But good.

I've met some nice guys too, kindly and cute ones. But that's for another time, I think. I barely have time for me now, let alone 'we'. And I think I wanna go abroad next year! Yaaay!

I know this much now.

Why? Why do I see him every day? Why is he always walking so fast? Why do hes he smile and initiate the 'hi'? Why are his shorts always plaid?

The answers to these questions and many more, next week on: 'Zucchini of Our Baskets'!

So...really quickly...the R.A. At the front desk. He's really cute. I don't know his name (but because I'm a stalker creeper I'm going to find out aka look on the list of R.A.s) but he's really nice. I've seen him out on campus a few times (didn't know he was an R.A. then) and he's smiled and said hi each time. He has cute sorta poofy-spiked red hair and he's like not too tall but not nearly short. He wears plaids and stripes and tan and orange a lot. Yeah.

I want to learn his name.

Hey all. Long time no post, I know. I've just been so busy! I managed to get safely moved into my dorm at WVU really fast, which was great. My roommate's family arranged the furniture, and they did wonderfully. We have AMPLE room, and to spare. Like we had two friends over earlier and no one felt cramped at ALL. The first day we sort of just hung out and walked across campus (several...miles...ugg...). My roommate stepped on a bee and it stung her foot, but she was okay. We laughed at how she had to hop-walk-hobble to get ice. All the food is free this weekend so we've been eating well too. I had chicken Parmesan for lunch today. Mmm.

Saturday we had Honors Retreat. Like...six hours of booooooring. But they fed us, so yeah. Then e walked around to find all our classes. It's good. we have the same Chem class (it's HUGE class). Then that evening we all went out to the local 'highlands' (AKA Univ. Town Center) to shop. We meant to get another chair and a lamp and poster, but she got clothes and I got a fish tank. Yeeeah. Then Shayna (roomie went to a bonfire and I stayed home to watch Olympics (OMG PHELPS MARRY ME!! Sexy monkey-dolphin-swimming-god-man) and set up said tank. It's on my desk now, beside the laptop. A nice 2.5 gallon ripple thing. It's like super base-heavy so I'm not it spilling. Along with that, I'll move Sforzando (laptop's name) when I put fishie in and clean it. No fish yet. I demand a spotted puffer which means:
1. Gotta make the water brackish (add some salt but not enough to make it a saltwater tank)
2. Gotta wait for Petco to get them in next Thursday

Fishie is only a temporary name. Dunno what he'll be once we get him. Phelps maybe...? *not obsessed* My roomie likes the Olympics too. Oh, and during the day I walked out to visit the Thomases, who are old family friends. A 20 minute walk from the end of the PRT line. Not bad, but i got a little sunburnt. Then their mom drove me back, which I'm so thankful for, as the PRT shut down early. And I didn't have my phone. Yeah. *would have been stranded*

Someone died on campus last night. Who and why isn't being released yet. It's weird thinking that happened when we were just hanging out.

Today we slept in. A little. Til 8. Shayna went for breakfast and I did more fish tank maintenance. Then she visited a bit, and I went to lunch while she went to church. I'm going around 7 tonight. On-campus Lutheran Chapel has late services to accommodate the late-sleepers. Ate at Hatfield's, they have free food all day. WVU Welcome thing here at 1. Like commencement meets pep rally. Yeah. Shayna's still out and I'm just chilling.

oh, and we got a white board for our door, and I got bored last night and put a riddle on it. Apparently people love the idea, so there's now a new one every day. Today's riddle:
"You throw away the outside and cook the inside. Then you eat the outside and throw away the inside. What did you eat?"

And yesterday's riddle:
"What goes all around the world, but always stays in a corner?"

Because I lack the capacity to post two things at once.

Simply amazing...Thank you Michael for sharing.

Another chat with Michael...

Sadly it might not get here until the 18th :\

1. Which detective, considered to be the original "hard-boiled gumshoe", is tasked to solve the mystery of The Maltese Falcon?
--"What the heck is a maltese falcon? It sounds like a cross between some butter-substitute and a kind of candy. Or a sub-breed of poodle. Ick. Buttery-hairy-candy. I think that's one mystery better left unsolved."

3. In the game of Hearts, what is the only non-heart card with a point value?
--"The Old Maid. Or are deuces still wild?"

6. What do you dig?
--"I am not of the street inclination, nor am I 'pop, phat, hip, or fly'. I regret to inform you that due to my emphatic lack of 'gangsta', I do not 'dig' anything, and will be holding this question in contempt until further notice."

This is NewS (song "Weeek") advertising coats from Russ-K. They're hot. The coats are nice.

I will have one for myself.

I'm tired. Blah. My shoulder hurts. Something about how I breathe is making my neck hurt too, maybe I have heart burn. Ick. But tums taste good, so yeah.
