"Dearly Beloved, are you listening? I can't remember a word that you were saying..."  
Oh hey, LJ. I don't know why my posting has slowly died off over the last year, but alas, it has. I find LJ a useful tool for looking back, though, so I still feel the urge to attempt to post. Most recently I felt this way because I went to a concert, and I realized I've documented every concert I've ever been to (basically) on here...can't stop now!

( blink-182 etc. concert )

Besides posting about that, I guess I'll say a few words on this semester, since I have yet to do so. I'm taking Roman Culture (CLAS 1010); Elementary Japanese I (JPNS 1001); Intro to Judaism, Christiany, and Islam (RELI 1001); and Intermediate Latin II (LATN 2002). Taking Japanese and Latin at the same time is no where near as hard as I though it would be, mainly because I'm at such drastically different levels in both. But as it is, I'm fine, and I'm quite enjoying Japanese. The writing system has been a really different thing to tackle, and my Linguistics nerd is happy-go-lucky getting so far away from Western languages. Latin is Latin, same old situation as ever. Roman Culture is a lot of what I've heard before and some new stuff, but it's all right. And religion kind of makes me feel like I'm in an old school social studies class, haha, but not really. It's more interesting than I'd thought it would be...somewhat, anyway.

Other things...my niece is love. Adorable. And growing up, too far away! My brother (found Jesus) quit his job and moved to London, and is staying with my family while he does this gap year program coaching school kids in soccer through Arsenal. He's there for a while and then going to another country for a while after this training time, but he'll be gone for at least a year. No telling if he'll decide to come back, but yeah, I'm really happy for him. Uhh...I'm living in a four bedroom, four bath apartment instead of a dorm. Yay for my own bathroom and a kitchen and a door to shut people out :D I drive much more now. Good and bad thing, probably (HATE DRIVING). I'm watching lots of tv shows right now - it's a bit mad. I'm going to England for the first time in over two years for a brief visit during Thanksgiving, leaving November 20th, coming back on the 30th. I'm going to see John Barrowman in La Cage Aux Folles while I'm there, and I'm very excited for that and just to see my family, including my brother this time, haha.

Anyway. I had two tests on Friday, following one on Thursday and getting home in the wee hours of Thurs from that concert, and I've been feeling a bit drained since, eheh. I think things will be quiet for a short while now, besides my crazy going home schedule for the next three weeks. Going to see Where the Wild Things Are Friday! And that's all for now. Nice seeing you again.

BWAP.

"Hold on to that fee-ee-eeling..."  
Okay, so I guess I'm going to do my Comic-Con post [sigh], haha. So much stuff.


( Preview Night )

( Thursday )

( Friday )

( Saturday )

( Sunday )


Anyway. That's my second Comic-Con experience. [My last for a while, probably, my mom said no next year]. It was even more busy/crowded and such this year. We saw more celebrities. I now have gotten 3/5 of the former Torchwood team's autographs, haha. I don't know if I'd call it better, but it was certainly great and fangirl-pleasing. And Alex is going to sleep so that's all I'm saying, haha. Gotta go home tomorrow.

Torchwood panel pics, Comic-Con '09  
All right, I'm posting a few of my pics for fandom's sake. I'll post all my Comic-Con pics later on facebook or something, and do a full post about it all here as well, probably. But this is all for now.

"I came here to make you dance tonight!"  
I is an aunt!!! My sister just had her baby - Anahi Grace Alejandro :) I've only gotten second-hand information, but she's six pounds and some and thus apparently tiny. Jolene's okay. This is all I know...but I'm very excited! ^^ I get to see her in a week and four days-ish.

I approve of her birth date, as well. 4/27/09. We haven't really had any April birthdays in my family, so that's good. She's consistent, too, because she's an ox by Chinese zodiac standard, and a Taurus by the western one, haha. And oh, there's the fact that she shares her birthday with Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy, who I just saw in concert Thursday, haha.

Eeeeeheehee. It's unreal. I can't wait to meet her :))))))))

"Steer clear of the sun, or you'll find yourself in the sea..."  
So, goings on...it snowed Sunday [freak weather in Georgia this year, seriously], and in Athens we got like four inches. It snowed from noon to midnight, and stuck around pretty much completely for a day or two and then started melting, but it still wasn't completely gone by the time I left Friday. I went out and stood around in it when it first started sticking, and then I went out again to walk around once it was pretty thick...It was crazy, tree branches kept snapping. There was a tree down across my normal path to class, and then when I paused under a magnolia that had already dropped a couple branches, I heard it start again and scrambled forward and a very large branch dropped behind me >< Eheh. So that was scary. We had a tree fall on a powerline in the intersection out of my dorm, that was crazy. A lot of places lost power, ours flickered a lot but I think they had backup stuff. God, and after the day it snowed, the ice sucked - I fell once -_-; Some places the ice just completely coated the sidewalk. But anyway, it was still pretty cool, and I liked just watching the snow out of my very large dorm window, heheh.

[I took what pictures I could take quickly, since my batteries kept going flickering dead and alive, heh.]

School-wise, things are going okay. I've done very well on all my tests so far [that I know of, still waiting for results on the two recent], so I am pleased. The marine biology lab can be a bitch. I enjoy it and I don't. We had a lab report we had to due, and now we have an assignment over spring break, and we're going to have a 'make a fish' [-_-;] project due this month as well. I'm enjoying mythology and psych, and Latin...and my tree class, heh. We just finished Caesar in Latin, and we're going to star our Ovid poetry-ness.

I had my advising appointment Thursday, and I'm all ehh debating, heh. I told my lady that I think I want to minor in Latin, but she asked me and I agreed that I might want to switch them around and major in Latin instead...which I guess would be if I were going to flat out teach Latin [my only realistic job idea so far]...blegh. And so I guess I'm trying to keep my options open a bit, which makes me feel even more restricted and whaaat about what I'm taking next semester [since I have the majority of pre-major crap done], heheh. I'm trying to decide if I can stomach a non-Indo-European language on top of more Latin next semester [and then there's the debate about which one of those to take anyway] - and besides, if I don't major in Ling., I don't need that. Soo yeah, eh.

But yes. Home for spring break, now. Went and saw Watchmen with Meg and Kevin and Steve and his wife Friday. It was almost exactly what I expected, good and bad. I'm good with it, really. I might ramble about it more later...but yeah, there were KIDS in that theatre with their parents, god. I don't know what the fuck they were thinking. Sex and exploding!gore and darkness and violence and nudity and swearing. NOT in ANY WAY kid friendly. ANY WAY. RRRRR!!! Heh.

Uh, trying to cram as much as I can in this week, I guess. I bought my Comic-Con four day pass, so I'm officially going again - wooooooooo. Freaking awesome. 40th Anniversary as well. Yay Alex! I think we're going to try and buy plane tickets tomorrow. [There might be more rambling about that as well, maybe.] Seven weeks until I have a niece!!! I'm trying to go see her [Anahi <3] as soon as I get done with finals. And oh yeah, I signed a lease on an apartment for next year. Four bedroom, four bath. Rather small, but really, all I want is a kitchen, my own room, and my own bathroom. I don't care. I picked it mainly too because they do a random pairing thing, no roommate seeking required.

Aaand I guess that's all I want to say right now.

BWAP!

"You just accused the Dalai Lama of potential cannibalism."  
I guess I should post about college-ness...I realized I haven't put what classes I'm taking or anything. So here it is:
  • LATN 2001 - Intermediate Latin I - 9:05-9:55 - MWF
  • CLAS 1020 - Classical Mythology - 10:10-11:00 - MWF
  • PSYC 1101 - Intro to Psych - 12:30-1:45 - TR
  • MARS 1020 - Bio. of the Marine Environment - 1:25-2:15 - MWF
  • + MARS 1020L - 2:30-4:25 - T
  • FRES 1020 - All I Need to Know About Life I Learned From Trees - 12:15-1:10 - W

So yeah. Things are going well. Not too much of a work load...It's nice not to have Latin homework four days in a row again, heh. We're translating a portion of Caesar's account of his invasion of Britain, right now, just had a test on that. We have to translate two passages we've done from there, among other things - last night I typed up my translations and just went back through the Latin text afterwards, trying to read it, and I was surprised how well I knew it. It's not so much that I can read it [I kind of can...it's hard to explain, haha], I just remembered it after I looked at the form and a couple words in each sentence...I was like, wow, memory. Go you. ...[And I miss my crazy old guy teacher from last semester, haha].

Mythology is a bit of reading every night, I'm surprised that I'm keeping up. I'm a geek, I like knowing this stuff, I guess. Yay for exposure. And woo for not being lazy [so strange]...regular pop quizzes are a good incentive, heh.

Psych is interesting, as of course it would be. I think he's a really easy teacher; I just took a test in there Thursday, and it was basically what was on the study guide he gave us. Oh, and we have to complete 6.5 hours of research stuff - basically we have to be their guinea pigs and sign up to participate in experiments. I've done one online and half of another so far [two hours worth]...it's kind of neat, haha. I'm getting them all out of the way in the next couple of weeks...I'm a bit excited, teehee. 

Um, Marine Bio...the class looks to be pretty straightforward, the teacher's a sweet guy. The lab is kind of meh - we have a quiz every week, but they're easy I guess. It's just annoying, having to review every time for the last week as well as prepare for the upcoming lab. And it's long. And I just hate labs. But yeah, we've been looking at cells and things under the micrscope, which always blows my mind, haha.

And the tree thing...jeezus, I feel like such a hippie. -_-; He loosely assigns us readings, and I think he's too science-y and doesn't get that some of the things are like, technical gibberish, haha. But it's cool, we sit around and talk about trees. Eheh.

So I'm handling it all well, yep...I'm amazed that I'm reading and doing my homework timely, and the studying for tests things [continued from last semester] - it just really psyches me out. I'm continuously surprised at myself, haha.

But yeah. That's all I want to say for now, I suppose.

Except - omg, Torchwood trailer. Exciiiited, haha. And damn, I'm watching a lot of tv [Monday - House, Tuesday - American Idol, Wednesday - American Idol and Lost, Thursday - Bones and Supernatural, Friday - Monk and Psych...and occasionally Daily Show and the Colbert Report, at night]...it's a bit mad. But I'm enjoying them all, mostly.

And yeah, that's it. BWAP.

"..."  
I'm doing so well lately. I lock my keys in my car at the worst possible time. I knock my laptop of my bed, to its near death and its coma for a week. Today, I went out and somehow lost my UGA card. I called places I went, and the gas station I went to said they found it. I went there, got it, went to pull out of the parking lot...and hit someone. And the front end of my car is hanging off...bumper, a headlight, some kind of fluid [freon I think] leaking out, the grill...everything below the level of the hood. It's sitting in that parking lot waiting for my parents to come up tomorrow.

Yep. Doing a great job.

I locked my keys in my car :D While my parents are out of town. And my car keys have my house key on them. And my dog is locked in my house.

Yay speedy locksmith! [Got there in sixteen minutes, offered to lube my lock (ahaha) on top of less-than-a-minute unlocking service, $40 :D] And Kevin for chilling with me, after discovering my idiocy when we were done at Moe's and BAM.

Yep...not the first time, probably not the last. Probably won't be under as horrible circumstances as this time...hopefully. [KNOCKS ON WOOD]

"Nobody wants to hear you sing about tragedy..."  
Wow, it's been ages since I posted o.o Over two months. Uhh, what's happened. We had a bit of a mad Halloween-ness...Meg and Brittany dressed up as people from Motion City Soundtrack - Meg's wig thing turned out perfect for Justin Pierre - and made me do sooomething, so I just threw on everything orange and ended up a Japanese cat girl. Or something. I don't want to talk about it, haha.

Um, school went okay. I improved in Astronomy and ended up with an A-...so far I know I have As in Ling and Latin, but American Government isn't up. I think I'm doomed to some kind of a B in that one, which is a bunch of crap, but you know...I'm not bothered. Woo for being through with my first semester of college \o/ [Well, kind of my second what with my previous credit, heh.]

My sister and her husband and new puppy came  for Thanksgiving ^^ That was great. That dog is crazy but awesome. And Jolene has a baby belly, heheheh.

Hmm, the day after the Cobra Starship concert peoples went to [but I wasn't able to go to :C], they came up to see me - it was a nice "surprise." [I figured out they were coming beforehand, heh].

I spent my 19th birthday [the 12th] taking a Latin final, heh. That was kind of lame, not having presents or friends or such on my actual birthday, but yeah. My parents came up the next day and we went shopping.

And yeah, I got done with my last final [they all went okay, I suppose] Monday afternoon, and came straight home. And got my birthday present - my wii! :DDD It's quite fun...been doing sports with my dad, haha, and some with people when they've come over...I've also got Animal Crossing, which is just awesome - love that stuff, heh, and definitely something to keep me busy. But yeah, since I've been home I've done something every day, haha. It's quite crazy...boo not being lazy, heheh, but it's been cool. Done stuff with several people. And then yesteday my parents and I and some family friends met up with my brother in Atlanta to go see that King Tut exhibit...it was neat, but not too exciting, heh...seen more of the same in other places, and more impressive stuff. But it was nice to do as a family.

And then last night was my late birthday party, woo. Meg, Jess, and Sky came and then Kevin came and we watched the Dark Knight...Brittany came late [she had been working], for a little while - couldn't stay too long either because she had to work early in the morning as well. I got some really neat gifts from peoples...we ate cake...and just hung out, heh, then Brittany left and we turned on Love Actually, which only Meg and I stayed awake through, haha [it was expected]. But yeah...Jess left early-ish, Meg hung out for a while, Sky a little bit longer, and then I took her home. It turns out her new house she's just moving in to is right next door to my old friend Liz's, haha. So crazy.

And oh yeah...before I got there and was given the tour, we missed the turn and went down the next road and another to turn around in a dead end...and there was a turkey. A freaking turkey. And I couldn't finish turning because it was walking around the car o.o Then when it got to the back, it pecked my freaking car!!! And came around to my side and pecked again. It was totally attacking my car. I honked at it and Sky tried to distract it and watch it through the window, and as soon as it was kind of in front I finished turning and got the heck out, haha.

Yep. Freaking bizarre. Pretty sure it's illegal too, to have a turkey in the city limits. Especially one that attacks cars.

But yes...Christmas shopping basically done, ready for that. All the friends' presents have been given, I think they went over well. :) Now maybe I can really bum around, haha...we'll see. That's all on the menu...besides my parents' trip to Louisiana...I'm not sure if I'm going or not. Jo was going to go up and meet us there, but now she's saying maybe not - which deeefinitely leans things towards no. We'll see.

BWAP.

"Let this world be done with me..."  
I went to a pumpkin patch Friday :) I went manic with fall/Halloween-love last year, and I decided I really freaking wanted to go to a real one, pumpkins-on-the-vine and all - and just, sit or something. Wait for/worship the Great Pumpkin! But alas, it did not happen last year. So I was more determined this year, and I searched for ones in Georgia and found out there's one quite near here [Athens, that is]. So my mom and I decided to go Friday when she came to pick me up, before I went back to Warner Robins. It was beautiful :) We got three pumpkins, including a rather large [twenty-three pound] one that is green. It was a fulfilling experience, but I'd like to go to one and just sit in it on Halloween night...heh. I told my mom she should grow her own little patch - and that is on my list of things to do/have sometime in the future [along with my library].

Looky at the pumpkin patch. And the pumpkins we got.

Other than that...Brittany and Meg popped over that night...they decided to throw an impromptu party for Gabe of Cobra Starship's birthday, so we each got a cupcake and put candles on it and blew them out. It was odd, haha. And we played pool. Nothing much else happened.

But yeah. School-wise...when I found out that I had an American Government test coming up, sandwiching an Astronomy test, I just knew that my other two classes would follow suit. And they came through, with spades. I have a Linguistics quiz this Friday, a Latin quiz Tuesday, an American Government test Wednesday and next Friday, an Astronomy test Thursday, and a Linguistics midterm also next Friday. Woo. -_-

Still don't know if I want to come home this weekend - 'cause I definitely can't next weekend [I'm coming home for 'Fall Break' (we get Halloween off) the following weekend, and then I also have to be down there the weekend after for Meg's birthday]. I have all that crap coming up, but really, that's not going to factor that much into my weekend anyway, as much as I'd like to tell myself it will. The HoG is this weekend, and I'd like to go see the band play exhibition, 'cause I still haven't seen their show this year and I don't when else I'll be able to.

But yeah...we'll see. BWAP.

[Ohhh - and last night - House and Wilson looooooove].

"I'd be happy to die for a taste of what Angel had..."  
So, for the update on recent interesting events [or well, times where I actually did something not routine].

It was lame because the internet in my dorm was out Thursday and part of Friday, but I had a test to study for for Friday [I had the essay part Wednesday] in American Government, so I did some serious studying - on and off from four o'clock to one something. Which turned out to be totally unnecessary -_- It was a few very main court cases and terms, I swear. Then several boring hours later I had another Linguistics quiz, which was okay. And my mom took off early and came to get me, so I actually got home pretty early that evening [my mom joked that she was skiving from school, heheh].

Saturday morning I got up just before ten and picked up Sky and went to Waffle House with some pit peoples for the pre-comp thing. Woo hash browns and cramming into booths and such. Sky and I went after that to see Brittany real quick - she got her lip pierced, woot. Then I spent the rest of the day chilling with my parents - had an hour and some nap. We totally all watched Doctor Who together :D Bwahaha. And then later, we randomly watched the Sopranos, wtf - and of course, it had to be a random episode where it is discovered that a main mob dude is gay. There were no comments or discussions about it though, so it was okay, heh. Then around one a.m. I went to pick up Sky from the band room, and we showered and - had grilled cheese, heh, before going to sleep.

We got up this morning at nine -_- [No sleeping in for me this weekend]. Jess got there and we left pretty much around 9:30, traveled to Macon successfully, saw Meg's dorm real quick, and got into her car for the rest of the way. We got up here to Athens exactly when Meg and I predicted, 12:15, heheh. Jess and Sky were starving, but we just went ahead into the theatre. We sat there for quite a while, then finally the previews came on, watched those, and then it was time for the feature presentation...except it wasn't Rent. Which we figured out as soon as we saw "Meg Ryan" come up on the screen, heh. Everyone was like WTF >:O So several people left and told people, and then some dude came and said they had switched theatres, which is a bunch of crap. The sign still said Rent outside, and people had been coming in right up to the previews.

But yeah. After that panic, we finally saw the recorded Broadway performance. Loooooooooove. I love musicals, I love theatre, I love RENT. No one will ever be the original cast for me, but everyone could sing the parts right and well, and I was generally pleased. It was great to finally see the Broadway version fully-fledged, after listening to the deluxe recording for so long and only seeing and having the 10th anniversary semi-performance to go by. Woohoo. Very emotional, heh. <3

After that we parked a bit away and walked into downtown and wandered a bit, until we settled on this place Jessie's been to before, Five Guys Hamburgers and Fries. Oh my god. SO GOOD. The hamburgers were delicious and so tender, and the fries were pretty sweet too. Very, very nice. From there we walked down to this awesome store I've informed people of before, Junkman's Daughter's Brother. It is the best, coolest store I've ever been to. Yep. Everyone loved it as well :) As soon as the time is right to buy things, I'm definitely doing so [I want a Queen or Freddie poster they have, and they totally have a Torchwood one - waaant (they're so awesome for having it)].

But yep, that was pretty much it. Meg drove me to my dorm, and they helped me carry crap up here and saw things, and then they left. And I'm chilling once again, half-watching House [it's the ep where Wilson moves in with him at the end, heehee].

Yay for a great day. BWAP.

P.S. Looky what Sky got me from AWA! Soooooooo cute. I loves him. I have named him Pan [Sky came up with that].

"Don't fall away and leave love bleeding in my hands, in my hands again..."  

Your result for The Heart Test...

Lonely Heart

You are 50% Independent, 50% Idealistic, 90% Intimate, and 80% Indulgent!


The Lonely Heart

Dependent, Realistic, Intimate, Indulgent


You are the most misunderstood of hearts, the Lonely Heart. Your desire for love and your want of harmony and intimacy are all very loving qualities. At the same time you are very down-to-earth, which may present a more cold or hard demeanor than you actually possess. Your qualities are all of the quieter types, so you may be shy, leading to difficulties in love, which is hard for you, being so caring as you are. You want love, but your realistic nature may work against these more idealistic desires.


Matches for the Lonely Heart:


The Healers's Heart

The Healer's Heart is both realistic and values harmony, just as you do. The Healer is more passionate than you are, but you can appreciate this quality. The Healer in independent, and while you may wish them to dote on you more, you can can appreciate their self-sufficiency. The Healer will always be there for you when you are down, and you will find that they make a wonderful match.


The Patron Saint's Heart

The Patron Saint is, like you, dependent, realistic and values harmony. The Patron Saint will understand your more down-to-earth views as wells as your need for love and want for unity in a relationship. The Patron Saint is more passionate than you are, and this is something you can definitely appreciate. The Patron Saint's protective nature will leave your lonely heart feeling loved, and you will appreciate them watching over you, as well as the fact that they seem to understand you well.



.
Your exact opposite is The Lively Heart.




Avoid Explicits if you can. You need love and the feeling of being loved, and an Explicit may not understand or appreciate this, leading to conflict. Idealists may also be difficult to get along with if you are stubborn. But if you can adapt and appreciate their ways of thinking, a relationship with an Idealist can work.

"Do you want to go back? You should have known that the butterfly in reverse here is me..."  
I failed my Astronomy test today :( It's not official, but we could keep our actual test sheets, and he posted the answers online. I missed exactly 12/36, heh, so a 66.6 [and on forever-ish][and well, technically that's a D, but whatever, heh]...it was annoying 'cause like half of those answers I either had it narrowed down to two with the one I didn't pick being the correct answer or I just did something stupid. If I had missed six less, I'd've had a B, heh. But yeah, it's okay because what would be the final is optional and can replace the lowest test grade...I just gotta do better in the future. I'll try to understand things better as he's teaching, I suppose. I'm optimistic in the 'it's possible' way, you know, heh.

I had a Latin quiz today, too. It went about the same as last time. It's annoying, making little stupid mistakes, heh. As long as he's not stricter, I'll probably do the same, but whatever.

I was excited for Supernatural's season premiere today :) I enjoyed it. This season looks to be interesting.

Got another test next week, in American Government - essay Wednesday, rest Friday. I feel the same way about that one as I did about Astronomy, heh -_-;

But yeah...it's all reasonable, and I was excited for Supernatural, but it's just a sad day.

BWAP.

/EDIT + meme/

Take a picture of yourself right now.
Don't change your clothes, don't fix your hair...just take a picture.
Post that picture with NO editing.
Post these instructions with your picture.



Wet, wavy-ish hair, heh, pajamas...[so often a band t-shirt], listening to music, in my dorm room. There's my sink...and yay orange sheets...heh.

"Betty won't stop listening to modern rock..."  
So I enjoyed the concert, for the most part. The whole line up was I Was Totally Destroying It, Dear and the Headlights, Margot and the Nuclear So and So's, and Motion City Soundtrack. The venue was really small as was the stage, and I swear there were definitely less than a hundred people there...over fifty but under a hundred. So we were always reeeally close to the bands, which was sweet.

( bands ramble )

Yep. That's my report. BWAP.

"Just like the waves down by the shore..."  
Laaaptooop is fixed [I really should name my laptop >:)] :D For real this time [knock on wood...seriously, do it - I'm watching you]. After spending almost four hours waiting on it, heh. But hey, I'm not complaining. I feel very relieved, heh. Don't try and keep Callie from her reading/fanfiction/obsessions. She might combust. :O

Ah, I can now relax...Friday is when Brittany and Meg are coming up for the Motion City Soundtrack concert up the street, then we're going to go stay with Meg's brother in his apartment in Atlanta and head to Warner Robins in the morning. Yep. [I'm going to have so much washing -_-; Heh].

Mmm, macaroni. BWAP.

[the sound of panicky!ahhhh in my head]  

So my laptop has something up with it - I say a virus, because that's what things tell me, but then everyone else says something else, so - yeah. I wanted to just say screw this, and go home and have my dad work on it. But no. My dad found out where the campus computer help-y place was, so I went there after my last class and waited for two hours while some chick worked on it. She gave it back and said everything was cool. 'Cept it wasn't. I had the same problems, ran scans and came up with more shit. My parents at this point say 'it's too late to come home,'
when it's like six o'clock. They say wait until morning. So I go back up there - they're closing in thirty minutes, she can't fix it in that amount of time.

I came back to my dorm and took a nap...woke up, took a shower...watched Monk and Psych. Read a tiny bit, tried to go back to sleep. Couldn't. So I'm in the basement of O House...at close to one in the morning...in my pajamas...hair partially dry...yep.

When I talked to my dad last, he asked me when I was getting up, mentioning that computer help place, and that if it didn't work getting something to put my files on. I'm like, what happened to me coming home? I can understand if I were to get things fixed, but if not? HELL NO. Fuck you. Nice way to say something without saying it.

So yeah, fuck that. I really don't want to be here without a laptop, and I'm just frustrated and really don't want to deal with any crap tomorrow. I've been half-seriously considering driving home myself tonight [when I'm not even allowed to make that journey yet by myself at any time, heh]. It would be an adventure, I'd get home without dealing with shit, and I'd get that experience out of the way.

But yeah. BWAP.

"And make me aware of being alive, being alive..."  
So, I am suitably ensconced in my classes by now. There's a routine and everything...it's going okay.

I went home again this weekend, because it was a three day one. Saturday Meg and I went out to eat at Moe's with Kevin because it was his nineteenth birthday, woot. That was fun, chatting and such. And I admit I did like that burrito - rice and cheese [and chicken]? And something bread-ish? Sounds like me. We also walked to BAM, where I tragically forgot I was wearing my Marvel shirt I got at Comic-Con and pranced obliviously in the manga/comic section -_- [sigh]. We leftly shortly after I remembered.

Oh, and that night I called Alex, who [having previously watched only series one and two of DW and one of TW prior to Comic-Con] has now finished Doctor Who in a roundabout order, and is going to catch up on Torchwood. So we had a rather lengthy and comprehension dorky discussion of that ^^ Yay.

Then Sunday we all went out to eat at Olive Garden for Jessica's birthday...mm, good food...and then went bowling. Jessica was appropriately eee over her gifts [Meg got her several things with Joe Jonas' face on them...], and once I got into the swing of bowling I did okay [after not having bowled for seriously probably seven years]...and I actually won, too, haha.

But yeah, that was the sum of that business...I stayed up pretty late that night doing various things, including starting to watch another British tv show for unknown [or dubious] reasons. Then I got up and gathered things and left by four forty-five or so to go up to Atlanta and pick up my mom from the airport, yay. After we did that we went over to Kirt's apartment up there, and mom divied out some goodies - Skips [omgomgomglove], chocolate, and other gifts [another John Barrowman cd, ...series three-ish clingy stickers of DW [haha - they are on my fridge! pic on fb], an orange bag, etc.]

*And then...my sister called my brother and he put her on speaker phone - and she told us she's going to have a baby.*

Eeeeeeeeeee. Heheheh. My mom cried 'cause she was overwhelmed and such - I think the first thing she asked was what about the dog?! haha. I'm excited and weirded out, heheh. Yay cute half-Mexican little baby...that will live too far away ><

But yes, exciting news. I probably won't come home this weekend, though I would like to see my mom >< I'll probably just wait until next, when Brit and Meg are coming up for a concert on Friday, and go home with them on Saturday. Bah.

Two quizzes this week - Latin one tomorrow, eep. BWAP.

"And if I wanted too much - was that such a mistake, at the time?"  
I love nothing. Can I do nothing forever? That would be fun. Thanks.

BWAP.

"And it's sure hard to know which way to go when you've barely begun..."  
All righty, so here's a bit of a progress report.



In other news...I found the kitchen the next floor down and microwaved some Spaghetti-os yesterday and made macaroni on the stove today :D haha. Woo. Oh, and how about this morning - at FIVE A.M. - the fire alarm went off. And we had to evacuate from the ninth floor [the top floor] down all those stairs in our pajamas. And when we were coming back in, they totally still wanted to see our IDs, and a bunch of us were like - uh. They said "you need to have them next time." Yeah, because I'm randomly outside at five a.m. in my pajamas for no reason. And because I keep my ID in my pajamas. And because next time, when there actually is a fire [we got an email today saying it was a faulty smoke detector on the fifth floor], I'm not going to immediately flee because I'm on the TOP floor, instead I'm going to search for my wallet so I have my ID and can get back into the burning building.

Anyway. That was fun. Things are okay, now it's a bit more settled. I'm still coming home this weekend, though.

BWAP.

"I'm going under, I'm suffocating..."  
Holy crap. I am overwhelmed.

Linguistics - okay. It sounds like it might be a little bit abstract and vague and crazy analytical, but okay. Not freaking over that. The teacher's not a professor, he's a pretty young guy...

Latin - WTF, WHY AM I IN LATIN II?!?!?!?!? I took two years of high school Latin two years ago!! Ahhhh. I vaguely remember stuff but that doesn't mean I know it. And I don't have the book that he wants because he didn't have anything listed - 'cause, like I thought, he's just using the book from Latin I...which the bookstore is sold out of. So I guess I'm gonna try somewhere else. But he wanted us to look at stuff tonight! Agh. And oh yeah - the professor is FREAKING CREEPY. He's a little old man, and he apparently has these outfits - suits - he had a white and black striped suit with a yellow handkerchief in the pocket and a red bow tie. And he has this sweet little voice and smile - with scary teeth. He called out every one's names and then did that little smile after every one, and I was fighting to hold in my laughter at first - but then he just started freaking me out. Mr. Rogers gone sadistic killer, in my opinion.

Persian - What the hell did I get myself into. The guy's from Afghanistan. And the whole time he would just say phrases in Persian and keep repeating them and then make us repeat them back, do little conversations and such. I got the general ideas after he repeated them enough, but I don't know them concretely. And I swear, barring a couple people, that class was people who have taken Arabic or something, were older linguistics people - like beyond undergrad age [my ling professor was in there with me!], or were from somewhere in the Middle East themselves.

So yeah. Oh my god. I feel way behind in Latin and Persian. In both classes I was thinking about dropping them. But I don't know what I would do. I don't want to feel as panic-y as I did in those classes this whole semester, I'll go crazy. And those two classes are four days a week!

And yeah, I think I want to change my major. 'Cause I don't think this is for me. I didn't know what I would do with my life with this, and so I'm still not gonna know what I want to do. I don't even want to go to college, really. Can I pause and rethink everything?

Ah >< BWAP.
