I know I am a total book nerd when my university is having a book sale and I am so totally excited I have no idea what to do with myself.

SEROUSLY I AM SO FREAKING EXCITED GUYS YOU HAVE NO IDEA.

In other news, I don't have to work today! :D Feels good. I'll probably watch Yellow Submarine ten thousand times and wish I didn't have to give it back to Blockbuster between the times I am doing laundry, because I seriously need to do some laundry.






...MY BROTHER'S GIRLFRIEND IS COMING OVER WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT HE'S LIKE 15

Guys, I cannot believe my brother has a girlfriend. Like, I cannot believe it. My brother is dating someone already, and that someone is called 'Soccer'.

Dude, when he gets married, until I actually attend the wedding, I will probably still be in disbelief.

Apples seem to have taken over my house. It is very strange, but it is New York state in October, I should not be this is surprised.
We seem to have acquired two apple pies made out of apples from my Grandmother's apple tree, actual apples, caramel apples, and apple cider. Not that I have problems with that, this is my favorite food-season. =)

Anyways, this weekend was homecoming weekend and our school lost 42 to 0. I can't really say I'm that surprised. Gah we suck so much XP. It makes me sort of sad really =). Hm... nothing of interest happening. Oh! Besides the fact that John Barrowman's new music video makes my life. Has everyone seen it? No? Here it is then:

What About Us?

Oh! AND. FOUR MORE DAYS UNTIL JOHN GREEN'S PAPER TOWNS. *EXCITEDISME*

Everyone who has not check out the new remus/sirius forum, blacklupin.org.
 

...so I can't make this friends-only.

Ugh. I guess I'll just say that I'd like a do-over on my birthday weekend. Can I? Please?

Ugh.

( blah, school part 2 )

In other news, I'm ill. Probably just flu or something: runny nose, sore throat, very tired, that sort of thing. Oh, poor old me.

I still have to reinstall Windows, but I just can't be arsed. I KNOW that if I don't, I'll regret it cause the computer's just shit right now. I'm one of those people who ignore problems and hope they go away even though I know they won't. Stupidity ftw.

I can't be bothered to give you some sort of wonderful rockstar spam with unfunny captions, so today I'm just posting some fantastic drawings I found on DeviantArt. I really dig this style... wish I could draw like that! This is where I found the good stuff. Check out that gallery, whoa!

( brilliant drawings spam )

So, it's come to my attention that Lisa doesn't approve of my tendency to make several entries all on the same day.

I'm sorry. I fail at condensing. XD Each entry feels like it was made in an entirely different set of thoughts and feelings, you know? I think you get it.

I keep having weird dreams lately. The latest one involved surelyyoujest...... although it was in a disembodied way. It was a dream about us roleplaying or....playing TP together or something, because I distinctly remember her getting annoyed with my slowness. Hehehe. Even in my dreams my unconscious self critiques itself.

Anyways, whoa. I feel so much better than I did on Friday. Omnomiimprovement.

My aloe plant is also spreading out his arms to the world and embracing anything within reach with giant spiky green tentacles. It's wonderful. I could hardly ask for anything more from a plant of mine.




MMMMMMM. I got distracted and totally forgot what I was gonna say here. Oh well. Entry complete. 8D

youtube audio preview. i never tried it. before. so i was typing a comment on happy together where the girl (whats her name again? she's funny) quoted sailor moon so i worite "SAILOR MOON FTW lol" and hit the audio preview...

"sailor moon eff tee double yuu *long pause. i thought it jammed* lol"

i thought it'd say ell oh ell. but it didn't. wicked. now i'mma make it say things HAHAHAHA

I was introduced to peach schnapps and apple juice last night, and it was quite tasty, if a little sweet, and didn't seem to be that alcoholic. I didn't feel drunk, and as it was a clear spirit, I thought I'd be fine...

Oh dear God, no I wasn't.

Those of you who were with me during any of the sci-fi cons I attended between 2001 and 2005 know why I now only drink small amounts of vodka, and steer well clear of red wine, tequila, whisky and all the other things that usually left me lying on the bathroom floor and praying for death.

Peach schnapps just got added to the list.



ow

i've totally fucked myself over. i put $100 bid on something last week, but n the meantime i accumulated $107 in debt. i have roughly $110, but i still need money for the rest of the week, and even after paying that back, i'd only have about $3.

it would be a good time to get that $50 from my dad and $60 from my mom, but my father hasn't paid me a cent, even when i brought it to his attention (he told me to entertain my sister for a few hours - it cost me over $100, and he told me he would pay me back), and my mother has owed me $60 since May, and even when she got $100,000 she didn't bother paying me back. i also feel a little bad for asking her for money.

on the plus side, there really is nothing that says i have to pay for this item right away, and i could probably pay for it on thursday night or friday in the hopes that it'll go through the thing is, though, i still have to pay my cable/phone/internet bill by the 20th.

i guess i could call my mom up now and ask for that money, and just give up on my dad ever paying me back, and hopefully, when/if the money comes, i can just use it and deal with paying up an extra $25 in overdraft at the bank when my next cheek comes.

I'm going to pimp the MGS Slash Secret Santa signups because WE NEED MORE PEOPLE


I got 21 people in last year, and this year I've run up four so far, so please pimp this everywhere!

Blaargh, I'm really cold. Which is bad, since I know for a fact that it's not really cold. D: Y hallo that pneumonia?

At any rate, Takayama and Shirokawa were amazing and beautiful, so I'll try to get some pictures up soonish, although I don't think they came out so well this time. :/

Still sick, getting worse, although I don't really want to say that. Still no more sore throat, just... fuzzy and not able to see/think straight right now, and no vision probably means worse regardless of sore throat or not. But, I care more about throat pain when it comes to being sick. That and my nose being sore, which is definitely is, which is a bitch.

Lied to my host mother and said I'd eaten dinner already since I don't feel like bothering with it. Didn't really sleep last night, so I guess I ought to get on that soonish, particularly since there's that test tomorrow in Japanese. But there's always a test in Japanese, so I find it hard to care.

Van made me this really amazing piece of origami on the bus. It's like a flower stand type thing, with four cranes attached to it. I can't for the life of my figure out how it could possible be one piece of paper, but it is, and it's beautiful.

We also decided that Ali is my crazy aunt, and Bryan is her hikkikomori son, and Satoshi is my dad and therefore her brother. Makes me really want to start calling him Otousan.

He also got in trouble at the jinya. Again. He gets yelled at so many times everywhere we go, it's kind of amazing. I love him so much for it. All the foreign college students know not to walk off the path and onto the tatami in Ninja-dera, but Satoshi just wanders off and gets yelled at by the tour guide... This time he started messing with this really old teapot that was on display at the jinya and a tour guide actually left his tour group to get mad at him. >>; ... Then later he started taking pictures in the no picture area. XD;

So yes, tired, can't see what I'm typing very well, time to go throw myself down the stairs again to turn off the internet then go to sleep, woohoo.

Last night I dreamt I had a place of my own, with a kitchen and a huge washing machine. And a pet monkey. I also dreamt I was watching a younger Jon Stewart on tv singing a song about how all straight guys need to suck cock at least once in their lives. There were some Jon/Stephen scenes in there, too, I'm pretty sure. I fucking love my dreams, man.

QUARTERLY FLIST MANAGEMENT REVISION COMPLETE.
I'VE DONE SIMPLE MATH TO CUT/ADD A FEW PPL. LOL THE QUARTERLY PART IS A LIE. BUT NOT IF YOU CONSIDER QUARTERS TO BE ANYTHING UNEVENLY DIVIDED. WHICH TECHNICALLY APPLIES.


GUYS I REALLY DISLIKE TWITTER TWITS. AS YOU CAN PROBABLY TELL FROM MY LJ, I AM A FAN OF THE VERBOSE RAMBLY EXPOSITORY STYLE OF UPDATING WHICH GETS BULLDOZED OUT IN GIANT DUMP LOADS. ONE-LINE ESOTERIC POSTS MORE THAN FAIL TO HOLD MY INTEREST, THEY'RE IRRITATING SO SORRY IF SOME PPL GOT CUT FOR THAT BUT I NEED MORE. AND HEY I DON'T MIND IF YR SOCK LJ FRIENDS ME BUT I PROLLY WON'T RECIPROCATE AND ALSO IF YOU POST EXCLUSIVELY IN A LANGUAGE I DON'T READ. HARSH, BUT I GOTTA STAND FIRM ON THE UNINTELLIGIBLE LANGUAGE ONE. LOL. MOST POSTS WILL CONTINUE TO START OUT PUBLIC AND REMAIN SO FOR A MONTH OR UNTIL I REMEMBER TO FLOCK THEM.

ANYWAY, I THINK I RAN ACROSS THE MOST DEPRESSING COOKING BLOG EVER TODAY. LOL IT'S NOT BC THE BLOGGER CAN'T COOK (I'VE READ THOSE TOO, THEY'RE MORE LOL THAN SAD) BUT IT'S BC OF THIS INTRO THE BLOGGER WROTE:
I am married but my significant other has a significant problem with food, he hates it. Ok, he likes some food but mostly beef and bacon. I adore food and cooking so most nights I cook alone and I dine alone. So I invite you to share my cooking and dining experience.

AND ALSO
This is so easy and so good I guarantee success. How can I guarantee it? I used the hubby-meter. He tried it, and he even admitted that it was 'not that bad'. He didn't eat the meal with me, but there is hope that the next time I make it, he may.

OMG PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE DOUCHE MUCH? I LOVE COOKING FOR PPL. YES I ENJOY EATING THE FOOD I MAKE BUT IT'S EVEN BETTER WHEN OTHERS ENJOY AND APPRECIATE IT AS WELL. I REALIZE SOME PPL HAVE ALLERGY ISSUES BUT IDK, BREAKING BREAD IS SUCH A BASIC WAY OF SHARING AND COMMUNING WITH SOMEONE I CAN'T IMAGINE TAKING TURNS COOKING/EATING ALONE WITH YOUR SPOUSE SITTING IN THE NEXT ROOM.

V decided being English wasn't good enough and became Italian. Venice is far more suited to his name, after all, starting with the letter V.

....hey. It's the only thing I could think of upon seeing this ad on my LJ login screen. SO sending it to failblog. Because....wut?

MY OVARIES HUUUUUUUUUURT

Went to Scream at the Beach. Wow. They've really gone down hill. When I worked there, there were stories. 50 volunteers, tops. All of whom cared and did a decent job. Who could ACT. Yes, there were some there who did an amazing job. But still. Where are the haunts with an actual story? That take longer to get through than it does to wait in line. And the music. Holy fuck. Glenn playing an acoustic guitar was a million times better than the ear splitting band. I'm actually kind of disappointed in Henry this year...

And I wanted to punch the fucking carousel operator. A job I hated quite a bit. And he did it so bad that it made me want to work there again just to show him how it's done. No announcements. Not even watching as teenagers monkey across horses, and letting two people ride one fucking horse. GAH! I also couldn't bring myself to ride a horse. Still. 3 years. Exactly. Well, a week ago.

Okay. So what WAS creepy? Liz, Becca and Ethan (the people I went to the haunted house with) are hardcore Silent Hill fans. Liz (who's house we went to) is in a little town called Lake Oswego, where I had never been before. And it looks so much like Silent Hill, it's creepy. The way I went, you go over this ancient, 2 lane bridge. Then, you take off down this narrow, winding road through BFE and nothing but trees all around. Until at last you come to a small town. I kept expecting something to jump out or crawl across the road.

THEN SOMETHING DID!

Just after I got over the Sellwood Bridge, and through the Sellwood area, this moron in black sweats runs across the middle of the road!

Scared the shit out of me!

.....then shortly after I got home (at nearly 2am) the fucking phone rings. The guy wouldn't say who he was but he wanted to talk to my mom. And just hung up.

GAH!

Also, don't know if I'm going to do the Void thing....still debating.

Uni is eating my brain. And my free time. Fuck.
