don't want any part of your revolution

rules!

This is a free-friend journal. At least 90% of my entries are unlocked, and the few that are locked are generally filtered as well. Therefore, feel free to add me or take me off your friends list as you please, and don't worry about hurting my feelings.

On the flipside, please don't expect me to automatically friend you back, or keep you on my flist. I can barely keep up with my list as it is, on some days.

There are a few things I look for in my friendslist:

- If I don't know you, chances are I won't friend you back, especially if your journal is mostly memes, or about your life and friends of which I know nothing. It helps to actually talk to me, if you want me to friend you back. (and I still won't friend you, if I don't find your journal very interesting.)

- I'll cut people who I seem to have lost most or all contact with, and whose entries have ceased to make sense.

- I'm a big advocate of lj-cutting memes and large pictures. It's just polite, really.

- Keep your drama and/or wank to yourself. I mean it. I'm too lazy to deal with it usually, but my friends are not.

- All icons were, unless otherwise stated, made by me. If you'd like to use any of them, please ask and definitely credit.

Remember this above all things: LJ is not a popularity contest!

Recipe for some thai food, courtesy of my friend Lindsay. This is an annoyingly vague recipe, but I'll add in as much detail as I can -- can't fuck it up TOO badly, I made it from this yesterday, and (with some well-timed Mitsu help) it turned out pretty bomb.

( As follows~ )

back to my internet roots, what what~

Randomness aside, hanging out at my parent's (formerly my grandmother's) house, getting drunk after a long day of cleaning up. Somehow, veggitales has ended up on the TV and I'm confused XD

I love how we all, after having such a SRS BUSINESS two years, are having trouble staying serious. There was a tense moment while moving a piece of furniture that was 81.5 inches tall (and the doorway was only 80 inches tall) that COULD NOT be tilted. It was the gun cabinet and we forgot the key so we couldn't take the guns out -- and if we tilted the cabinet, it was possible to break the glass on it. We were about to all have a squabble when the door swung open. We all sort of stared at each other then laughed. Oh universe. Thank you.

I finally got my eyes checked (after 3 or 4 years) and a new prescription for contacts and glasses. The doctor was supercool and also GAVE me a new pair of contacts so I can see! Which is good because my old contacts hurt like woah and my old glasses are just gross.

My parents are discussing what furniture to keep and to get rid of. My grandmother has so much shit (two bags full of MATCHES wtf) and we have so much shit and our house was bigger.

I just cannot. wait. for the day that we take down all this ugly wallpaper >.>

This was made for me. Because pancakes ARE the devil.

Half-watching yamatarou, half-working on writing, and mostly just enjoying that my house is nearly clean. Tomorrow I'm supposed to have bellydancing again, and start re-learning Japanese with Silka.

Thankfully there was no visit to LA this weekend which is good on many levels. Nana's doing all right (as far as I know) and mum and dad should be getting back tomorrow night with a huge moving van full of shit.

It's sad -- my family moving out of the house we built together, and I won't see it again before they do, before we rent it out. In my mind it's still the same.

I'm happy they'll be closer, but I'll still miss our home. I really can't wait until they redecorate my grandmother's house. It feels like a disservice to her in a way... she's not dead. But she'll never recover and really that house is just oppressively her. She'll probably never come back. We need our own space.

But.. onwards and upwards! Read The Historian this weekend. My head is full of vampires and Europe. And thanks to the beginnings of yet another Monster marathon, Tenma. Should Dracula and Tenma even be in the same headspace? my guess is no.

[edit] this also should not be in my brain. Courtesy of a very, very old IM from hunter. Jesus. I've had too much tea, I think~

Monster marathon #5... go! (this one is Andy's fault. we have to show it to Menissah)

And soon I'll finish ryusei no kizuna with Mitsu and we'll start on Wonderfalls. My life is so nerdy.

On a more serious note... ( Slight ranty bits. )

for the first time ever, I had to reset my LJ password today because I FORGOT it. I mean, I've reset it before, but damn. How the hell did I forget my password? :/ utter fail.

currently administering a TOEFL test. most boring job ever, perhaps! Thankfully I brought a book.

May have to go to LA tonight. Yuck. do not want. :/

Virgin America? Awesome. Swank and comfy and really tech-friendly. I so never want to fly Southwest again, mang. Thanks to Justin for pimping it out constantly!

San Fran trip? Excellent, except for the 2am band practice on the night I had to get up at 6am.

Wedding? Beautiful. Y'all probably saw the photos, but it was really perfect and I'm so happy for them! Catherine also did something I don't think I'll ever see another bride do again. She sort of started losing it during the vows, which isn't unusual... But it was during "for richer or poorer" and when she got it back she joked "I can't say -that-!" It was amazing.

The city was pretty awesome -- a little cold and windy but otherwise beautiful weather.

Flight back... I didn't have a ride arranged in advance, but I had several plans. Interestingly, NONE of them worked. Let's run them down~

A: Kacia (had to go to a concert)
B: Lindsey (didn't have a car)
C: Carolina (had dinner at a friend's)
Failsafe: Mitsu (who isn't a fan of airport driving and I didn't want to ask, but who generously offered anyway)
Unforseeable act of god: Justin, who happened to be on the same Virgin America flight as me. What the crap!

So things worked out well. The universe will provide~ <3

Dan's wedding? Success! For those of you who want to check out the pictures, here's a link... and no you shouldn't need a facebook account to access them. http://www.new.facebook.com/album.php?aid=96710&id=728947623&l=ce62538ab3

I am retardedly sleepy right now. Hm. Floor looks comfy... >.>

(I miss my bed so much.)

In San Fran, already miss Suki and ridiculous TV marathons with Mitsu, but still having a great time. If only Andy would get back to me so I would be sure I have a ride to the wedding tomorrow, everything would be kosher. Oh, and if I weren't so broke and didn't hate asking my 'rents for money! Gotta do that Monday. >.>

(Also... Why is it always so cold here, even when it's 'warm?')

Oh my god, I am so ridonculously thirsty today.

More self-indulgent TV watching with Mitsu today, w00t w00t. Last night she stayed over and we made onigiri (my first time! I still sort of suck at it, but I'm getting better!) and watched Chuck and Arashi's amazingly retarded rowing training marathon. Tonight was happily more of the same. Tomorrow I have a prior obligation to go to the Zoo, and then Thursday... more of the fscking same >D We are gluttons for punishment. But it's amazing. (Although I'm sure I've been driving her crazy with my insistence on hula-hooping in my tiny ass living room, but she's been amazingly cool about it.)

Clearly I have important things to say. Time for bed!

yume_no_koe -- I FINALLY got around to making that curry you brought for me. FUCKING DELISH. Amg, you've totally converted me! *.*

Also, I have once again been cooking up a storm. Like for reals. Probably will have 5 or 6 full meals cooked in 3 days. And by "full meals" I mean enough for 4-5 people, or 4-5 days of leftovers. Jesus. Looks like it's time to rearrange my freezer!

In other news... I keep meaning to do this installment.

All I need to learn about Medicine, I learned from Japanese Dramas watched with Mitsu:

* If you get shocked, call an ambulance even if you feel okay.

* If something falls on you, go to the hospital, even if you have no broken bones.

* If you get stabbed in the stomach, go to the fucking hospital, don't pursue your revenge.

(I'm sure there will eventually be more.)

My brain has been eaten alive by Yamada Tarou Monogatari, courtesy of mitsuchan. As you all MAY have noticed neither of us have been around much, because we've been nerd-exchanging for about three weeks now.

I've shown her Monster (thirty HOURS of pure genius. Trust me everyone, the time investment? worth it. That was the fourth time I've watched it through and am still noticing new crap >.>), the 20th Century Boys Movie, and a good bit of Chuck... she's shown me Maou, Uta no Oniisan, Voice, YamaTarou, and various cracky variety shows. As previously mentioned Yamatarou is eating my brain like woah for some reason and those who are into that sort of thing should expect something to come from that. It has been glorious.

Life updateish -- things are going okay. Still a bit busy with trips to LA -- but now those trips all consist of cleaning the house and hanging out with my parents and visiting my grandmother briefly, instead of sitting with her for 12 hours of crazy. This is also made better by my parents, who are pretty much the definition of awesome. I love hanging out with them as I may have mentioned on occasion.

Work's going okay (if you discount my constant paranoia) and really I have very little to complain about other than being ridiculously poor currently.

Today shall be spent cooking several meals and dorking out further with Mitsu. Also? thank her for this entry, she yelled at me last night for never updating XD

[edit] FORGOT! Going to San Fran this next weekend... for DAN'S WEDDING. Clearly hell has frozen over. I'm so excited!

[edit2] headaaache. Also, I'm sore in muscles that I didn't know existed, courtesy of belly-dancing lessons with Carolina.

should it worry me that two of the staff at my school have "scary times" status messages on their facebooks?

I'm just sayin... that can't be good.

My apartment is slowly, sloooowly getting completely clean and it's weird. It's never been that way.

I'm still kind of a ball of crank lately. Totally bored. Want more to do that isn't cleaning. Want to fix up my bike, go swimming with Andy, want to play with my new sewing maching. Want to cook! But alas, I have absolutely no money. Where the hell is my unemployment check? Bah~

But at least I'm working a bit more now! starting today, through the end of the month at least, I'll be working 9-3:30 instead of 10:45-3:30. I get to hang out with my old Low Advanced students who are freaking awesome.

My HR appointment for Miramar is Friday AM, the orientation for USD is Friday afternoon, and this weekend is the first time in about a month that I won't be in LA for some reason. I'm really not sure what I'm going to do with myself. I'm very, very happy though... finally some time that isn't cleaning out my grandmother's house.

Update on that sitch: We've placed her in a very nice board and care home -- about three blocks from her house and only six residents. She hates not being home but she admits it's a very nice place (also she didn't recognize her own home when she lived there anyway). Mum and Dad are moving to LA slowly, and we have cleaned out Nana's bedroom completely. Good LORD the woman had more clothes than she could ever wear. Ever.

God this entry apparently has no point. I have a kitty waiting for me on my bed. I think I shall go pounce~

Background check pending -- I have a job at Miramar community college, teaching 6 hours a week? Foot in door much?

AMG I'm so happy! I have celebrated the hell out of tonight and now I am NOT QUITE ready to drive to LA in the morning. >.> y'all get boobs in celebration~

I had a nogoodverybad day today. So now I'm staying inside until it's all. over.

(though the cute guy at sports chalet was a bright spot. If I were at all in the place to be anything but a crazy harridan, I'd have slipped him my number.)

Tomorrow's agenda:
* wake up at the crack of dawn
* Drive to LA
* Check my grandmother into a home(*)
* Drive to Santa Monica
* Avoid getting thrown into the ocean by my students
* Drive to Malibu
* Set up camp and avoid getting drunk with my students
* Attempt to sleep outside -- it's been a long time since I've been camping!

(This fact would kill her, if she had any brain left. But she doesn't. And I have no remorse, it's best for everyone involved :/)

Tonight's ep of Chuck = AWESOME. Though it leads me to think they've been watching Dollhouse too much >.>

I really really hope the next season gets picked up ;O;<3

I keep meaning and trying to sit down and do a proper post, but I can't. So here's life in digest form:

* Nana now has pretty severe dementia. Today she decided I was essentially a replica grandchild. She is also apparently living in a replica of her house. Uh.
* The above fact has been good because we've been able to set up inheritance crap, but pretty much shitty every other way, especially since as you all know -- I didn't really like my grandmother to begin with.
* My mother has moved in with my grandmother (my father's mother) in LA to take care of her for now. With the help of a 24/hour caretaker who costs 4000 bucks a month.
* My father lost his job and will be moving to LA as well.
* I spend pretty much every other weekend in LA right now and really? I hate it. Nana's house smells funny, she smells awful, she cries and prays an awful lot in German, and really it would be kinder to her and us if she just went in her sleep.
* We will be putting Nana into a home very soon now. It's marginally cheaper and worth it to keep our sanity.
* we're going to rent out our house in Redding. I will likely not go back up for WWP this year.
* I still have only one job and the school isn't doing as well as it could be.
* I'm broke and desperately need an eye exam, new contacts, and a pony.
* I need to apply for new jobs for fall.
* I hate myself for being constantly useless and negative, but can't stop.
* I equally hate myself for being passive aggressive, but I feel like I've been backed into a corner.
* I am very angry in a generalized sense at the people who get on my case for not opening up to them, but make no effort to get me to do so -- the same people who get butthurt if I seem to be not talking to them but seem content to ignore me for long long stretches of time.
* I sincerely apologize to those of you who have been constantly reaching out to me that I haven't replied to.
* I am alone too much and lonely more but cannot afford to go out, plus I'm too lazy to do so usually.
* For some reason, I think I want to be married and having a kid soon, but god knows that's not happening anytime soon.
* I've lost my rp partner.
* I hate being online when I'm not doing something.
* I am hopelessly bored.
* I resent the universe and pretty much everyone in it right now. Except for a few specific muffin-like people of course.

All in all, I am in a really irritable/angry place right now. Comments are off because nothing's really going to help right now, honestly, short of a million dollars and a decent community college job. And a month's paid vacation.

[edit] also really really fighting the natural urge to start breaking people right now. I've never really felt like this before. I need a lobotomy, a vacation, and a stiff drink, in that order.

I'm sure walking to work is good for me, but it kind of blows. The breeze is cold and the vagrants in the park freak me the fuck out :/

(Also for those who don't know, I got laid off of Shimamura. Am surprisingly okay w this)

Cops hassling me about crossing the trolley track against the light when there's no trolley in sight. Seriously, man... Are you really that bored? :/

so I know I've already asked... but anyone have twitter? <3

Toaaaatally posting from my phone omg <3 so much crackberry love

I'm having trouble staying positive about uh.. anything. Blah. It's just a bad time of it right now, and I'm tanking in pretty much everything. And I KNOW I am and yet still can't bring myself back up.

Really, I just need to crawl into bed and sleep for a year.

So, Catie's over and I just finished cooking. Cooking is one of those things that I do, especially when I'm bored (not that Catie is boring, just that life has been pretty routine lately and cooking is one of those things that helps break it up a bit). Lately I've been diving into Indian food. I've fiiiinally gotten my daal recipe down. So here you all are. Feel free to make suggestions if that's your deal, I'm still hammering out the fine points (namely the balance of spices) but it's finally getting to a state where I can actually make it pretty consistently!

(And yes, this recipe is of my own devising, cobbled together from about 6 different recipes online <3)

( follow the cut~ )

Sitting in the teacher's lounge, stapling my bajillion copies and waiting for class to start. and my right contact is chou blurry wtf. >.>

ANYWAY. Stolen from Mitsu because it looked fun: Le photo meme~

Ask me to take a picture of any aspect of my life that you're interested in/curious about - it can be anything from my DVD collection to my favorite pair of shoes. Leave your choice(s) here as a comment, and I will reciprocate by taking the pictures and posting them as an entry. That way you get to know a little bit about my life.

Have at boys and girls <3

mini-update to explain the long radio silence~

My grandmother's been in the hospital since my last post, and out. She's back home for now, with my mother and a 24-hour caretaker. Her sciatic nerve was pinched and since going into the hospital she's sort of suffered a mental break (and by sort of, I mean she has -- full-blown don't know who you are alzheimers. Can't even remember English half the time). I've been spending almost every weekend up there.

I'm all right with it all, it's just stressful. I'm mostly worried about my mom, considering that my grandmother hates her. >.>

I'm still working both jobs (w00t!) and generally lazing about. Nothing much else to report lately!

At nana's. Hn. >.>

Came to interview her about her life, and she's hurt. I'm not sure if it's genuine or if she's hamming it up. Bah.

Got 12 pages of notes about her life, but again have no idea how much of it's true~ lordy. Still, some interesting stuff.

(still sick, wtf)

Ow. stomach cramping. Ow. x.x

So my cold took a turn for the horrible-worse and on Wednesday I was coughing so hard I was throwing up. (Ugh) So I called in on Thursday and went to the doctor.

Predictably they threw codiene and antibiotics at me. And my stomach is not. happy. I'm only taking the codiene at night, but argh. Nausea and cramping and blah.

I just want to be not-sick anymore. :/

Anyone who's interested in my poetry -- I've started a new project. Link

Anyone who isn't, feel free to ignore that. <3

Anyway... I think I really do have an ear infection which is annoying me. And it's freezing-ass cold. Ugh. I am so not cut out for anything under 70 degrees. >.>

That aside, spent a very pleasant day sleeping in, then hitting up Krakatoa with Andy for some writing time (which is where I wrote the above poetry). They have the most brilliant christmas drink list -- one of the best? Creme bru-latte, complete with hard carmelized sugar top. Seriously brilliant.

Merry Christmas!

Weather here is gorgeous... alternating wind, rain, and sunshine. Mn :O~

So! holy crap, I can't believe it's already christmas. Mine has been good so far.. last night we had a small get-together with a ton of Irish Stew and some close friends. Andy and I pretended it was midnight about 15 minutes before and opened the few presents we had left (my mum insisted I open the bigger present earlier in the day so she could be on the phone with me during it).

I got Andy this book... extremely appropriate for him. I also got him a very nice leather journal -- I was worried 'cause he's particular about journals, but he likes it so yay me :3

(All the writing group got journals this year, actually <3 I'd post links but I can't actually find all of them -- Maggie got a nice red pattern, Tami a greenish patgern, and Kacia owls. Because Kacia's an owl kind of girl.)

It was a cheapass christmas other than that.. I only bought some small things for other people.

Other than that.. Tami got me a shitake mushroom log, Maggie got me USB-heated gloves. (A brilliant invention!)

my parents got me a very nice cookbook of all kinds of asian cooking -- recipes from India to Malaysia to Mongolia to Japan. It looks likes SO much fun! <3 And.. daddy tucked a check into it, which is wonderful and much appreciated. Mom also gave me the requisite socks and pez dispensers.. and a very nice sweater and a scarf. Mum also gave me a bracelet that I had tried on at Miss La De Dah's (my favorite vintage jewelry store) and a cameo of hers that I love. *spoiled child*

Andy has told me he's going to pay for my ticket to Japan. *faint* holy. crap.

Anyway, consumeristic bullshit aside... we're going to go up to Maggie's parent's today and play boardgames and drink wine until we're nice and toasty <3

I sincerely hope everyone else's Christmas is wonderful. Stay safe!

(as a small sidenote -- life in general is going well enough.. I'm STILL working at Intrax, oddly enough, which is fantastic, and Shimamura's going fine. So right now, I'm doing fine! Hope you all are too~)

)(34qpo3ij3wo93wlk. Ugh. Wake me up when I will have energy. Which is never.

Pinku, 'Thena~ <3 I'm an INFJ. (AMG, 'thena, we're twins!)

and no, seriously? I am so tired lately. I feel like I'm slowly circling a drain. BLAH. (good news though, I'm teaching for two more weeks? ;o;//)

Okay, so when I posted that all was quiet on the home front?

I shouldn't have tempted the gods :D;;

I got laid off from Intrax today due to low student enrollment. Sigh.

(everything's okay, I may be able to go back when their numbers go up and my other job will be able to pick up the slack for now but just... goddamn man.)

comments are off. y'all are sympathetic, I know (you guys are my friends for a reason after all!). Thanks for the thoughts, just.. too tired to sift through everything today.

Hay hay~

Not much to report. I'm in a pretty good moment right now, life-wise. Work's decent, home's good. It's amazing how nice it is to just work. To be done with school and all of that.

I've been making tentative plans to go to Japan next year to visit the absolutely lovely yume_no_koe when she moves. Spurred on by the fact that I have a steady job and also a $600 check that I didn't expect to get from SDSU, I think it'll finally be doable!

Anyway, I'm hanging out watching August Rush with Andy and Suki. We're having Guinness stew tonight, and all that jazz. Time to go~!

I leave you with a meme I stole from C on ( beauty routines )

GRAR.

My laptop keyboard is fucked up, yo. Excuse any typos... my keyboard is acting like it's had a stroke. the right side doesn't like to see the left and vice versa. I have to send it in.... again.

I'm having trouble liking hp (<-- see that? I CANNOT capatalize p anymore. and that question mark is c&p) because this is the second time, man. Yeah, I'm still under warantee, but goddamn.

(Other than that and terrifying money crap, life is grand.)

New word: sadisfaction

You all are old enough that I don't have to explain.

I have no students in my class o.o

Uh.... well, I guess this is good for hanging out and getting more organized? :D;

why can I not stop shopping? :/

So I got paid and I had to go out and pick up a necklace I got repaired (red graduated beads, vintage from my nana)... and while I was out I decided to stop on fifth and hit up flashbacks and buffalo exchange :/ Oh god, why am I so retarded?

But 90% of what I bought are great work pieces... a black button-up shirt, a pair of black slacks, a black shift dress, a grey pencil skirt... Very neutral and officey. Bah XD At least used clothing stores are cheap ;o;//

Poetry dump on evaupel... working on some more, tryyyyying to get more productive. Instead I just changed up my journal a bit, because component is so bloated as a theme that it takes a million years to load.

I wonder if this is too risque for a default icon?

But really, what I want to do now is nap. and I MAY just do that XD;

w00t w00t.

I'm posting here on my lunch break... which was somewhat unexpected as I FORGOT MY DAMN WALLET (oh I am smart) and wasn't going to take a lunch. But Hiromi (my boss) found that out and insisted I take some money and go feed myself. Ahah.

Actually, she's pretty awesome and I'm rather happy with where I work. And getting money! I got paid today from the firm and really should poke my head into Intrax and see if they have a check for me there too. I have student loans to pay. >.> One of them is overdue. T.T And another is coming due in uh... 9 daysish.

This month will be pretty damn tight up until the 15th, but from then on should be okay, honestly! Which is really, really good. I'm sick of being a brokeass ho.

I want to have other news for you guys. But I don't. I should! But really, all I've been doing is working and chilling. Hopefully there will be some writing occuring too, as my life becomes more settled.

o hai, livejournal. How are you? I've been working my tail off... you know what? work makes me happy. it's ridiculous. ANYWAYS! I run away now :o

impromptu graduation/joining the adult world celebration:

C-Level, Dom, and friends. totally awesome.

Well, quick update -- got the office coordinator job -- (AKA: Floral Duties Job, tm.)

I start on Friday. Between the two jobs I will be working an even 40 hours a week, meaning that I should take-home about 2grand a month <3 It's a pretty modest start, but way more than I'm used to at this point. I'm super-happy!

Rent this month might get a bit tricky, but I'm hoping that it'll work out fine >.> And after that, I should be pretty good.

Anyway, YES, so. Tonight we're going out to the sky bar and to c-level for le celebration. I haven't opened the bottle of Dom Perignon my parents gave me for graduation yet, was saving it for my diploma... I just got it a couple of weeks ago, and so it sounds like a perfect tiem for a celebration~

Joining the working world will be the death of me.

So uh... hey all! I suppose I should update all and sundry since it's been FIFTY MILLION YEARS since I've posted (and even longer since I've read, sorry. >.>) We're going to do a bulleted list here.

• I am officially graduated. As in I have my diploma sitting up on my bookshelf waiting for me to have the scratch to frame it.


• I just finished up a short-term job at USD, working in their summer English program. I already miss it. Sweet, sweet 50 dollars an hour~


• I just got a job at Intrax International Institute, working as their TOEIC teacher. It's sweet as hell. (20 bucks an hour, benefits a possibility on the horizon!) I so far pretty much like everyone I work with.


• Today I interviewed for a position at this firm... I'd basically do office coordination for them and for her husband who works in educational law. He gave me a copy of his book. I... well, I don't KNOW I got the job, but it seems like they liked me!


• If that doesn't pan out, I have another interview on thursday for a library clerk position. Fewer hours than I'd like, but hey.... sexy librarian, what?


• My grandmother is starting down the long, difficult road of dementia. Oh dear god.


• My parents are still unemployed mostly, though my mum's working at home answering phones for Disney Dining.


• I have spent FAR TOO MUCH MONEY lately, but dude... I've made some amazing scores. (Walter jacket for 28 bucks! that's like... 1/10 of the original price!)


• Last, but not least, I have been GODDAMN SOCIAL lately. Zoo, writing club, bachelorette parties, hooka bars, swimming in the ocean, writing in cafes... y'all would barely recognize me.
  

I can't think of anything else vital to say, quite honestly. How're all of you? Anything amazing happen lately?

Okay, yes, I'm too much of a politico lately. shut up. It's easier to care about than my crappy life.

SO I'm watching Hillary's speech on tonight. For those of you not hanging onto the every word of the assholes on TV, Obama swept North Carolina, and Indiana is "too close to call"...

Katalyst: she just said that from now on it's full speed to the white house
Vaeran: Full speed to the White House
Vaeran: more like SET SAIL FOR FAIL

[edit] Wonkette makes me happy. Andy says it's because I'm a catty bitch. But they're right. How does one deal with this without an excess of wine?

Dear Hills,

Slag off. No one likes you anymore. :/

No, seriously, how are we sitll voting for her? I don't get it AT ALL.

ahaha...

my mom just got laid off due to budget cuts. Better than fired for political crap, but still.

(okay, sorry, but holy shit guys. I sort of just realized... besides the relief? I'm officially done with school. watafa.)

I AM NOW A MASTER. YOU MAY NOW COMMENCE PRAISING ME.

(or something)

(....no seriously guys? SO fucking relieved. For those of you who can't read between the lines? I passed my MA exam. just got the official notification!)

thank you so much to everyone who cheered me on. I love you all!

hee! I got a tablet! New computer shininess!

some of you have already heard about it, but I just bought myself a HP tx 2000! <3 So much love!

my test is finally over, thank god. I think I did okay... wrote about twice as much this time, 9-10 ish pages. didn't feel like I was totally bullshitting either. Of course, I'm starting to second-guess myself, but ah well. It's over now!

So I know my last couple of posts have been really depressy- things are getting better, slowly. Thanks to those who wished me wd. You know I love you all.

I can't wait until it warms up, I have to say. Even though I want tine to slow down in large measure, I'll be happier once I'm not cold most of the time. It's always like this with me.

So! I've written this entire post in cursive on le tablet. Its pretty awesome, I have to say. It even recognizes my crap handwriting! I don't think I'll be handwriting everything I do, but still!

I really have nothing interesting to say... guess I should bugger off and maybe do something constructive with my time!
