GRRR!!! blasted thing won't WORK! GAHHH!!!
Anyway, hi all. Sorry for my disappearance. That seems to happen regularly, especially over the holiday part of the year (Halloween to after New Years). I hope everyone's well. I'll check up on everyone as soon as I can.
Things are going very well for me. I have to run, but I'll just let y'all know of the biggest news: I'm expecting. I'm quite happy about it, too ^_^
Love y'all! Sorry I'm so absent! |

Hearing about a typhoon in Japan drove me to come to my live journal to see if Michelle was all right. Chances are she is, but I have to check, anyway. And while I'm here, I might as well update, myself.
As most of the people here know, I'm good and married, and happy about it, too. Remember the friend who proposed to me way back in March? And how we continued to date after that to see what would happen? Well, obviously I had a chance of heart a few months later, had a short engagement (more stress and less money to spend on wedding stuff, but I've decided that once I've decided to get married, to do so as quickly as I could. I'm not sure if that'd work with everyone, though ...), got married the Thirsday before Fall semester started (I wouldn't recommend a short honeymoon, like I had. I also would not have recommended getting married just before school starts, since neither of us have had time to organize and prettify our, uh, room. Oh, well), and have been doing well since. Right now we're living in a studio apartment, and we have wonderful neighbors and managers. I'm just spoiled rotten ^_^
This week, Danel got himself a second parttime job and found a new place for us to move into. You see, the studio apartment is just a tad small, especially if we want to have a family, so Danel went home-hunting. We've found our place, talked to our managers to see if they could set our current apartment up for rent, and will pay the downpayment today once Danel gets home from work.
I'm only going parttime at school, but that's because I only need three classes to graduate, so I'm taking those three and no more. Then I'll be DONE! DONE! DONE! I've never been so relieved in my life, especially considering how I've been burning out earlier this year.
Wish me luck with finding work after school. Which reminds me, I'd better have a looksee at some workshops that teach students office skills. I'm sure I'll be needing them, no matter how busy my current three classes, work, and new lifestyle are keeping me.
I'm such a lazy bum, to value my free time and privalege to take my time doing things so much ^_^ I like doing things slowly.
Which somehow reminds me that I'll need to catch up on Chris' comic. And Chelsea's, if I could ever find that address ever again.
Someday, somehow, I'll actually start writing letter replies to everyone who has sent me a letter. I'm sorry I haven't gotten to them yet *~* Would anyone forgive me if I exclude the story and drawing I tend to demand of myself in every letter? Because I do want to start writing back, but right now I'm starting to think that the only way I'd be able to do it is if I just do a frantic writing session for one day, then send it out. And that feels cheap to me, considering to how much time I'm used to devoting to letters.
Oh, well.
It's wet today. Way, way wet. It's about time we got some wetness, though I feel sorry for the people down south who're getting flooded.
I'd better go and do email, now. Love you all much, and sorry I'm so scarce ^_^ |

The high today is only 78 degrees, and is currently 73, and I'm wilting. I don't know what I'll do when it actually starts getting hot. 105 sounds unbearable at the moment. Course, I survived it no problem last year, but my body had adapted to the heat by then. I hope my body adapts more quickly. I'm sick of dying of heat in weather that's less that 80 degrees, no matter how humid it is.
I wish it'd rain. Rain is good for the soul. Rain is good for just about anything, uncluding cooling down the weather. Temperature, I mean.
And it doesn't help when the game center doesn't have any AC or even fans running, and you've just played three intensive games of Pump (which is just like DDR, but with different songs and 5 steps instead of 4). Dratted no fans going ...
^_^ I haven't posted in forever, and the first thing I do is whine about the heat. Sorry.
Things are going fairly well for me. I'm taking classes (probably more than I should), and I'm still working. I bought myself a PS2 (the need for it has been building for over a year. I'm shocked that I held out for this long), and I'm enjoying my roommates. One's engaged and the other's married (long story as to why she moved back into single's housing. No, she didn't have a fight with her husband or anything. She just needed to finish school, and the college around where her husband works doesn't have what she needs to graduate).
I'm tired. Maybe it's the heat. I also gotta finish writing up this story, apologizing to my professor, and studying for my bio exam. Ugh.
Whine, whine, moun, pout. Pity, pity me ^_^ I'll get over it ^_^ |

ROCK LEE IS ALIVE!!! HE'S UP AND KICKIN'!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!
Sorry. I had to get that out.
You're Element is Water. You are soft and serene at
most times but like Wind, you're scary when
you're mad. You proabaly have a talent is
singing and even your speaking voice is lovely.
You have an innocent type of beauty that makes
you look younger than you are and you like
close relationships with people.
What's Your Element(girls)? (PICTURES)
brought to you by Quizilla
I totally didn't expect that element, but I like it. I'll have to see what other elements I get when I make the other choices.
Life has been very interesting lately. Very interesting. Things get that way when you get proposed to by a good friend whose hand I haven't even held yet. But I've had a good, long and deep talk with him today, and we've agreed to steady-date ^_^ All's good.
The guy's name is Danel, and he's a good guy. I don't feel uncomfortable when I'm with him. He's a perfect gentleman, respects women (especially in the traditional manner -- opens doors, walks between the traffic and the lady when out on walks, gives helmet to me when we went rollerblading in the mountains even though he was the one who kept falling, etc) and very honest and truthful. I even checked up with his mother about his character ^_^ We have similar values, we hold the same goals as important (family, faith, integrity, etc), and he doesn't find fault with me. Overall, he's not bad. Which is why I didn't absolutely freak when he proposed while I was thinking of him as a friend (as I would have if most anyone else would've).
He proposed Saturday evening, and allowed me time to think. I prayed and fasted and stressed about it all night and all day Sunday until I went to one of my older brothers, Mark, for council and advice, but especially for a listening ear and a blessing. Mark was a great help. He helped put things into perspective, and so did his wife, Shauna. And, yes, they promised not to blabber about what happened to anyone else in the family ^_^ (part of the reason why I went to him. He had helped me sort out my feelings several years ago about another boy, one who made me feel mean). Mark and Shauna invited to stay at their place that night, so I happily agreed.
Poor Mark, Shauna and Rachel (their baby). Shauna had a sprained knee (yes, knee), Rachel was sick, and Mark's internal bleeding had started again. I felt bad for imposing on them, but they insisted, and I'm not one to refuse other people's kindness and hospitality.
I returned home Monday. I wasn't feeling well, so I didn't go to my one class of the day (I'm so lazy ^_^). Then, this morning, I told another older brother, Sam, about it ('cause I knew that Danel was going to take me somewhere to get an autographed painting print today, and I knew I had to have an answer (because I told Danel I would)) and he gave me some more advice, comfort, and so on. I cried so much it would've been embarressing if it wasn't just us.
I generally don't like crying in front of people, but two days of tension had been building up. After all, I couldn't just treat Danel's proposal lightly, since he was totally serious about it, and marriage is probably the most important decision I could ever make in this life. I'm glad it was just Sam, and he, just like Mark, is already married, and would understand.
I went into the outing with Danel with a plan in mind. I had a whole bunch of questions I had to ask him (things like, "What do you like to eat?" and "Do you have a clean record?" and "Why did you propose to me when we haven't even held hands yet?"), and I asked him as many of them as I felt were important. He knew the questions were coming (I had warned him about my needing to quiz him the night before over the phone), and so he answered. And for the first time, quite possibly ever, we talked about things that weren't superficial. And, once he understood where I was coming from (apparently, he didn't *mean* to propose. He just meant to tell me how he felt about me, and "I want to marry you," came out), he amended his proposal to "Will you steady date me?" I agreed to that.
So, there are how things stand with me at the moment. Tomorrow's my 24th birthday, and all's good ^_^ |

All's good. Here's what happened.
I was so busy moping yesterday that I had completely forgotten about babysitting my neice Olivia (which I'm supposed to do every Monday), and when I called brother Sam and his wife Tisha to apolgize, I had to tell them why I didn't show, and then why I was moping.
Well, Sam, being the tattler that he is (^_^), told Mom and Dad. So Mom and Dad called me, but I wasn't able to get back to them until this morning. Thankfully, when I called this morning, they weren't critical or anything (and, to be honest, I was worried that they would be. I don't like the idea of disappointing my parents, since they expect so much of me). Dad got me the password and account number I needed to tap into my second, back-up bank account, and then put in the paperwork so that my overdraft for it would be $500 instead of $200 (which was good, since, as Dad found out, I have a whole $21 in it. ... Had). And then Mom reminded me to pray for help, so after I hung up, I did that, too, before going back to look for my back-up bank's check book.
I found my check book. It was in the first place I had looked yesterday. I don't know how I overlooked it, but there it was, and I was too happy to be ungrateful. So, even if I do have to go fairly deep into overdraft to pay off these freaking scary bills, I *can* do it! And since these bills promise to be exceptions instead of rules, I'll be able to hold out from here on in.
So, all's good! Thanks everyone for your support ^_^ I love y'all for it! |

| Money problems |
[Jan. 26th, 2004|02:13 pm] |
I'm feeling rather discouraged at the moment. Right now, I have -2.00 or so in the bank. As soon as I pay off my credit cards, it'll be -601.88 or so. And I think I only have a $500 overdraft protection on my account. And I can't get into my other bank's account because, somehow, I have the wrong password, so I can't transfer money from that account (however much I have in there. don't know) into my current account to save my hide. And I can't turn to Mom and Dad because they're probably worse off than I am, and I can't turn to my siblings because they're having troubles of their own (such as raising their own families on one paycheck a month or so, or having huge old houses to pay for which require two paychecks). And I just found out I still have $15 to pay to my landowner so I can renew my housing contract.
I wanna cry. I'm skipping my only class for the day at the moment. I have 150 pages of the slowest, smallest type to read by tomorrow, plus get ready for a Japanese-reading quiz, plus do several Japanese reading assignments, plus three huge drawings, all for tomorrow. Once again, no one short of God is going to be helping me, and right now the Devil is whispering all sorts of discouragements into my head.
I feel as if, if I just hold on, things will start getting better. I'll eventually be able to catch up on my stupid bills, I'll get the loan I asked for for I could pay for tuition, I'll eventually catch up on the two classes that I had added two weeks into the semester, and so on. But right now, I'm just feeling discouraged, because I feel as if I just can't.
Right now, only my brother Mark knows that I'm having trouble, and he's helped me out the best he could. He couldn't give me money (he's the sole provider for himself, his wife and his baby, and the wife is regularly sick and in need of medication. And guess what his job is: kindergarden teacher), but he gave me enough food and supplies to last me for a couple of months, so I don't have to worry about that. I could just kiss him for that ^_^
And maybe I can turn to my bishop for help with this upcoming month's rent so I won't have to worry about housing.
I hate credit cards. I *hate* them. And I've only used them for tuition and a few Christmas presents.
I hope a loan is coming my way. I have applied for it, filled out and sent in the FAFSA and everything.
I have also sent Megan her letter today. Hopefully she'll like it.
I also made another Janet/Sam drawing yesterday, since I just couldn't bring myself to do much studying (and I'm not someone who normally studies on Sunday). It's imperfect in every way, but that's a scene that's been playing out in my head for a good while now. I hope it happens someday ^_^
I'll feel better later. |

Well, all's going well for me. I had a very busy weekend (birthdays, dates, work, school, and babysitting all kinda ganged up on me all at once. Oh, and dances, too), but now I can go back into the swing of things, if only for a little bit.
Funny thing happened Friday. I got locked into the same room twice. Here's the story:
There was a dance going on Friday night which I needed to help prepare for (at work), so I took my break early, when home, and ate dinner. It wasn't a very impressive or filling dinner, and definately would not sustain me for another, oh, 6 hours, so I snatched a bowl, a fork, and a package of noodles and took them back to work with me, so that when I get hungry later I can eat the noodles and so give my stomach something to do until I get home (the only thing noodles are good for, really). Well, at about 10:30 or 10:45, with the dance well under way with about 350 people hip-hoppin' and break dancing and who-knows what else they do at those things, I got hungry, so I went into Room 37 with the noodles, closing the door behind me so the party-goers would see me with my noodles (yep. I'm that shy). Room 37 has two microwaves, a fridge, and a whole bunch of dance videos and VCRs and other such technological stuff, but no sink and no faucet, so no water. I turn to the door to open it ... I turn the knob ... and the knob doesn't turn.
Fortunately, I had my radio with me, so after a few minutes I worked up the embarressed courage to radio the police and ask them to get me out. About ten minutes later, two come, and I'm let out just in time to go lock up one of my buildings.
I come back. It's a little after midnight, with the dance still going strong, which annoys me but which I can't do anything about, so I fill a styrofome cup with water from the water fountain several times for my noodles, and so cook my noodles, this time making sure to leave the door open behind me. Finally the noodles are cooked, and I take the water out ('cause I prefer my noodles more dry than not), and I enter for the last time to do last minutes seasonings to the noodles.
I swear, I didn't even hear the door shut behind me. I don't remember shutting the door. But I turn back to it, and it's definately shut. I groan and pull out my radio ...
You know, my radio bateries read "full" only twenty minutes before. Now, it not only read "empty" but it was beeping, too (which I hadn't noticed over the dance). I panic and call radio the police, anyway, and, fortunately for me, there was enough juice left in it for me to contact the police again. They had wanted to know *how* I got locked twice, but all I answered was "I shut the door, and my radio's dying. Please come get me!" (only not quite so eloquently. I don't speak very well on a moment's notice, one of the reasons why I hardly ever win any debates, no matter how right I am.) Ten minutes later, an officer (thankfully, not one of the ones from before) got me out, and I showed him how you can't turn the knob from the inside of the door, and how there was no keyhole, either.
And then I had to clean up. I didn't get home until almost 2. I had to be back at work by 6 that morning. Ugh. The rest of the day after that was good, though, if busy.
... and I'm tired of writing for now. I'll go do some unimportant stuff, like admire Rock Lee some more and post. Then maybe I'll come back and update some more ^_^ And maybe not. |

The Dante's Inferno Test has sent you to Purgatory!
Here is how you matched up against all the levels:
Take the Dante's Inferno Test
~laughs hard~ I'm sorry, but that quiz was fun. All of the results are based off of that one book, Dante's Divine Comedy or so ... I was actually expecting to be sent to the "gluttony" level, since I admitted I do like buying things for myself that I don't need, and that one of the finer points of life is good food ^_^ ~is still laughing~ I wouldn't take it seriously at all ^_^
Ah, it's been good. I've been worried these past couple of days because I couldn't register for my classes until I've paid my tuition off, and for some reason my checks just wouldn't go through. But I checked today, and my checks have finally gone through, so I could finally add my class so I can be considered a student, which is really, really good because that means I can keep my job. Yep, life is good.
It snowed some more today. Another good thing. The more snow, the better (within reason).
Of course, I still need to get back into the habit of actually studying long, hard hours for my Japanese class. ... Dang it. I spent waay too much time on this computer today *~* Bad me.
But that's how life is treating me right now. It's not easy, but I'm doing all right. Christmas was great, and I really enjoyed the time I was able to spend with my family. We actually had a white Christmas (which totally surprised me), but I was still able to make it back over the mountains in time to make it to work when I had to. It was a poor Christmas, too (every year, Mom and Dad tell us kids to not expect much for Christmas, but we always get a lot of stuff, anyway. This time, though, they meant it. Not that I'm surprised, any. They *did* just recently declare bankruptcy), but I didn't mind. The holidays treated me well ^_^ |

Well, I survived my second final, and I'm feeling great! It really cheered me up last night when I came home to find one of my roommates in the front room (it was 2 AM and I had left my keys in my other jacket's pockets, so I was really, really happy to see someone still awake), and then found that someone had wrote "Your lover called! He wants you now!!" on my message board. Hee ... I don't have a *boyfriend*, let alone a lover ...

Well, survived one final today. Go me ^_^
Tried mailing letter to Mandy today, but the line for the post office was a bit long, and I had to buy a blue book so I could take my exam, and basically didn't have time to stop. I'll have to try again tomorrow.
Made a mess in the library. The Jamba Juice I had stashed away in my backpack tipped over, and the juice just seeped through my backpack into the carpet. Hopefully, no one will know it was me, in spite of my conspicuously stained backpack ... which I'll be carrying away from my body instead of slung nonchalantly over my shoulder because I'm wearing a white shirt and my favorite black and white wool llama wool jacket ... Had to toss away all of my life-sustaining candy too, since it was contaminated by the juice, as well. Dratted rule of "no food in the library" which made me hide my Jamba Juice away in the first place instead of leaving it out int e open ... ~neatly places all blame on te library people, even though it is all her own fault~
I do feel bad about the mess, though, all the visions of being banned from te library for making the mess aside. I mean, that was a really bad mess, and all in grape juice, too, and someone may have put their backpack or jacket on the mess after I left. ... I'm so irresponsible *~*
However, yesterday was fun. There was a freak snow storm that lasted a whole fifteen minutes and managed to stick well enough that me and my roommates went sledding without a sled. That was great ^_^ We used the inflatable purple chair in the front room, plastic bags, and plastic coshins (however that dratted word is spelled) stolen from the apartment lounge (which we do plan on returning). I haven't done sledding of *any* kind since I was eight or so, so it was all new to me. I ran into a tree and nearly flew into the creek ^_^ Lots of fun.
Well, my sister Kaylee seems to be doing all right. Last week she went into surgery, so Mom and Andrea came up to help her out, but Kay went home a couple of days after the surgery, which I'm guessing is a very good sign. I'll have to keep tabs on Kay to make sure she stays all right as she recovers.
No money. I actually calculated just how much money I have in the bank and how much I'll have left after my checks all go in, and, after paying my one credit card bill, found out that I'll have a whole 40 cents to my name. Not good, since I just got paid Friday and yet another credit card bill came in (which I hadn't seen because I forgot about it while I was studying for my exam today). And then when I tried to sell back four of my books to the bookstore here on campus, I got a whole $16 back. Hopefully I'll be getting more from my other books as I return them, but I kinda need money right now ... and, no, I'm not going to let Mom and Dad know. They have enoughy troubles of their own, and I owe Mom $60 for CDs she bought for me Saturday, anyway.
Surprisingly enough, I'm actually not feeling too bad. Kinda hungry because it's been a while since I've eaten decently (namely yesterday, when my roommates had that "roommate party" in which we had dinner together and then went sledding), but otherwise I'm not feeling too bad. I'll be all right. Maybe it's because I actually managed to get a good night's sleep last night.
Well, there I go. Gotta work on this paper of mine. |

Kinda. I at least survived my RAD self defense simulation last night. I'm sore today, but I guess that's to be expected after fighting of about, oh, 9 guys (even if we were all padded up) who are all much bigger than me. I really enjoyed it, and I didn't freeze up like I though I would (in fact, actually facing them, I wasn't afraid at all, which surprised me. Maybe it was all of those pads ...), so I guess I did all right.
What I'm really glad about is that my shorts didn't fall. Considering that my instructors were tape-recording the whole thing so everyone can watch it all come Monday, that would not have been a good thing. I cinched one corner of the jean shorts with my watch and a bit of tape, and all went well. I just hope I don't look too terrible in the video.
But at least I have a mean right punch. Beware ...
~sigh~ Now to just somehow manage to finish this project, make sure it makes sense, do two papers this week, finish my research paper, read all of "Ender's Game" and do ten journal entries. ~groan~ There's a reason why I didn't start getting nervous about the simulation last night until 30 minuets before; I was too busy worrying about everything else.
~yawn~ Sorry for the slightly down feeling. I'm just tired from too much to do and not enough sleep or food to keep me going. It's to be expected. I'll be perfectly fine and happy once everything's turned in. |

Well, what do you know. It looks like we're going to actually have a legitimate winter this year. And, what do you know, but this is the first year in which I don't have a winter coat with me. Silly me ^_^ Good thing I have my llama wool jacket ... even if that's about all I have other than long sleeved shirts and a knit sweater to protect myself against the cold with.
Aw, I'll manage, even if I can't make it home this Thanksgiving so I could get one from my parents (because of how snowy and dangerous the mountain passes will be). Layers are a good thing. So is Pump. Hee hee ... playing on that warms me up real good. And it feels good to gather a small crowd. For example, today, after my torturous grammar exam (4 questions, and it took me 2 hours. I felt like I was taking a computer programming exam or something), it was freezing, so I made my way over to the game center to play a few games (and to the Cougareat so I could eat something). While there, I managed to attract the attention of a small group of junior high girls. They cheered ^_^ Oh, yes, that felt good.
On impulse, I also bought an opera cd and a classical cd. The opera one disappointed me (only one song I recognized, and it was sung by a different guy than who I was used to, so I didn't like it as much), but I'm really enjoying this classical one. I've been meaning to add a bit of the classics to my music collection for the longest time, you see. I'm just glad I got a good one (sold for 8 bucks even. Didn't even have to pay tax for it. That's because it was a required "text" for the Humanities 101 course. Hee). Now to just find a different opera cd ...
I'll have to look up "quixotic". I just chose that for my mood because I thought it would be fun to put it up.
Now to finally catch up on posts. |

Yes! I did it! The stupid Adobe Photoshop here on campus WORKS! WOO HOO!!!
~ahem~ Anyway, I finally had the chance to actually put something up ^_^ Go to Fanart Central, look for me (screenname: Redgyl. What else would it be?), and you'll find my only piece, "San and Janet." It's kinda sad. The tears may be a bit too much, though ...

Hope that worked ...
Anyways, my sister Andrea just came up today. She needs dental work done, and while she's here she'll be staying with me. We're gonna have a blast.
Just one rant: it seems as if anytime I'm serious about doing homework, my family comes up and ruins everything. Darned family ^_^ |

| | If You Wanna be Happy for the Rest of Your Life | ] |
Took two quizzes. For Michelle's I got 30%. For Chelsea's, I got 20%. Go me ^_^
... You know, I could've sworn I had a lot of happy things to say here.
~sings~
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life,
Don't make a pretty woman your wife.
So, in my personal point of view,
Get an ugly girl to marry you.
~laughs hard~ I wanna listen to that song! I've already listened/sung good and loud along with it about, oh twelve times in a row already, and I want to listen some more. Can't help it. That song is addicting.
Anyway, I've actually done some good today. I finally have some sources for my long overdue paper! Yaty! Now I can start writing my paper up! Yay!
I do feel sorry for this one guy at work, though. He fractured his foot (or was it his ankle?) playing soccer this morning, so his shift isn't going to be an easy one tonight. Poor dude.
Just for the record, he said, "There is some truth to that song," when he heard "If You Wanna Be Happy..." Hmmmm, makes me wonder how his married life is going ... ^_^ (Just kidding.)
On impulse and with absolutely no good reason, I rejoined that Majikku Magen RPG again. I wonder what I'll bring in.
Ah, well. 'Night! |

| Yet another thing to laugh about |
[Nov. 13th, 2003|01:25 pm] |
My floppy disk melted last night. I tried getting the disk out of the computer, but it wouldn't, so I asked the lab attendant to help me, and he couldn't get it, either. He told me that it seemed that the disk melted on me. I'm sorry, but I found that histerically funny. I might have been devastated if I had huge, very important things on it, but all I had were some old assignments, my Calvin and Hobbes comic strips (though I'll miss those severely), and a bit of research from the Internet for my 9-page paper (which I'm somehow glad I hadn't started yet ... if I had, *then* I would have been devastated at the loss of the disk). So I told my professor what happened via email just now, and I'll buy me a new disk, and we'll see what happens.
So, there. Things are going well for me, all things considered. |

Hmmm ... mmmmm ... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ..........
Figures. I get on to write an actual journal entry so everyone'd know what's been going on with me, and my mind leaves me. The little, wrinkly traitor ... Though that's pretty much how I've been lately, brainless.
It's frustrating. I have everything to do, but I don't do any of it. I need new checks so I can actually pay my bills, so of *course* I don't go to the bank to get some or to order a new debit card so I could get money. I have several papers due Monday, including a 9-pager, so of *course* I haven't even gotten a word down or looked for any sources, either. And it's so stupid of me, too, and I know it.
Imp of the Perverse. Oh how accurately Poe describes that: you know you shouldn't do something, and the thing is self-destructive, but you do it, anyway. Like Poe's habit of burning bridges or my procrastination and so on. Or, in sci-fi terms, you know the monster coming at you is going to kill you in a most gruesome way and that you should run, but you just stand there, looking at it. Or you know you shouldn't push that red button, but you do.
On the other hand, I've been laughing at myself a lot, too. Like today. I accidently broke the vacuum's handle at work. Just snapped it in two. I got a good ten-minute laugh out of that.
I also get a good laugh everytime I think about my "dream man" on the billboard at home (my apartment home, not home-home). It's quite possibly the most frightening thing I've ever seen. It's supposed to be this guy friend of mine who I'm not too crazy about but who seems to be crazy about me, but the drawing looks like a grinning skull with glowing red eyes and wearing a toupee (however that's spelled). It's great ^_^ My roommates drew it, and the only change I made to it was changing the plain red dots in the middle of the black eyes to little red hearts.
And speaking of my "dream man," we went and saw "Spirited Away" here on campus. I enjoyed that show. It's just great ^_^ And it was a lot of fun listening to the people behind us. They had never seen it before, and they just kept going "This is so weird ... This is the weirdest show I've *ever* seen ... Oh, gross!" and stuff ^_^ I found it funny.
Well, there. Now I feel better, even if I still have everything in the world to do and feel isolated.
Hey, all, get those letters to me when you can. I've been letter-lonely and news-hungry for the longest time now. ~laughs~
See y'all later! |

Goddess of Wind, calm and cool and under control.
You don't like getting personal with too many
people.
What element would you rein over? (For Girls)
brought to you by Quizilla
I wasn't sure if I'm really like this one or the one I got before it (Goddess of Green). Oh, well. Is tired.
Note to self: blueberry whateveritwas doesn't hold up very well if only 1/3 eaten. Dratted library rules ... of COURSE I sit a whole twenty feet from the computer lab monitors.
I still have no idea of what "sezzy" means. |

| Now I know how my Mondays are going to go |

And how will my Mondays go? Busily (five classes, four of them English, and ending with RAD), but fun. I look forward to the rest of this semester ^_^
But first, to post this dealie:
Seer
The ULTIMATE personality test
brought to you by Quizilla
I wasn't sure if I completely agreed with that, but I took it three times, only changing the answers I had toss-ups (between two possible answers) on, and each time I got this, so I guess this is what I am. ~shrugs~ I wish I was more like a protector, though.
I had dreaded my RAD self defense class all day yesterday because I heard that it was designed to toughen up sweet, innocent women (who make such wonderful targets for predators) so they could defend themselves against attack. (RAD stands for Rape Aggression Defense) My brother told me that the instructors will pick on the softest people the most because they'll need it. So, considering I had never been in a fight before in my entire life, I pictured this class as something as an anti-guy boot camp, so I was a little nervous when I walked through the door into the room. Of course, my fears were unfounded, and I really had fun. My instructors are all members of the police force! You don't get too much cooler than that as far as professors go.
Thankfully, I still have work. My boss from before the Spring/Summer break had saved a place for me. Now I just have to get back into the rhythm of things.
I really ought to post, but first I had to check up on everyone here and do some research for a group presentation coming up (for once, I decided to get my group presentations over and done with early in the semester, so I deliberately signed up for the earliest presentations). I have so little time to do anything on the Internet, now, it's rather sad. I try to when I can, though.
Well, gotta go and do stuff (maybe post, go meet with group, read Dracula for another three solid hours, post some more, etc), so I'll close for now. |
