All right. I'm over it. Things I need to do: - Stop renting so many goddamn movies.
- Start writing my nonfiction assignment.
- Actually write the poem that's due today at 1:30.
- Study for the midterm that is today.
Um. I should be doing those things. I haven't done a goddamn thing. What's going on? |

There is a clear every-other pattern to these entries I had an hour free before lunch, so I got out Corsets and Crinolines (I'm really glad I got it now, even though I only ordered it to see if I should buy it. Yay for inter-library loans!) and did all the calculations for the pocket hoops, since they're pretty much just geometric sort of shapes, drew the lines onto my unbleached muslin, and cut the pieces out, leaving seam allowance this time. Whooo! I just don't know what to use for boning, though. Before I realized how big they were I planned to use cable ties, but they aren't long enough. Demode used hoop wire, for which I would have to wait to come in the mail, and ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) koshka_the_cat doesn't have a diary up for hers. Maybe I'll call Grandma and see if she wants to roll around the Parkway and check out places for possible substitutes - if I don't find anything, I'll order wire online. I've watched two episodes, but still not sure what to make. Perhaps Jean-the-maid? True, he is a man in a dress, but you'd never know from the art. Although my hair might be a bit long ... Oh! New thought! I might shrink the circumference a bit, as I'm not exactly underdeveloped in the hip area, and then the cable ties might fit. |

Writer's Block: Lenny Bruce
I don't think there's any more ground left to break. Originality died a long time ago, and being obnoxious and offensive doesn't make a person groundbreaking. |

I'm pretty sure nobody but me cares by now
But I just realized that Lisa, at least, is giving me the silent treatment. It took me until breakfast to figure it out and I nearly started laughing when I did. Last night I offered up some lame anecdote about my mouth being really dried out to the point of waking me up (hey, it was slightly relevant), and this morning I said, "hey," and both times the only response was a smirk, which is, I believe, the thing Lisa does when she's congratulating herself for not replying.* Also, she hasn't said anything at all to me on her own (I think. I wasn't paying attention at first).
I find it so funny because basically every time someone talks to me I cringe inside because I know I have to make some kind of answer. \o/ Yes! I'm very punished! Punish me harder!
*Based on how she did it the night of one of our dust-ups
Yeah, that's it. |

I'm also rereading Two Households
I think I need to stop talking about my issues with M and L to Kate, because she's gone over to semi-defending them (probably because she went to their common room party, and also probably because I whine about them to her all the time) like by saying, "Well, we're freshmen, so we're still in that party mode." Also because I think she's kind of a selfish jerk, in a way: I'm pretty sure I've said a few times that when Tanya goes back to Tx I planned to see if I could be moved into her room, but just now she told me (right after I told her about see below) that she was going to not mention it to anyone if she left and see how long she could have the room to herself. I think I've mostly complained to her too much, though - I get kind of like Cady in Mean Girls, where she can't stop talking about how she hates Regina, and she keeps doing it even though she knows she's being boring.
The see below: I was talking to Dad on the phone, and he thinks I ought to go to ResLife and tell them I want to move, but ResLife gets annoyed with you even when all you need to do is fill out a form, so they'd probably tell me to fuck off if I asked for them to help me find someone who wants to switch roommates. I decided to talk to the RD tomorrow, as usually they're pretty good at dealing with this sort of thing.
I went to B&N and like an idiot bought three books. /o\ The Unhandsome Prince, which looks like a cute little fantasy novel, and B&N Classics editions of Wives and Daughters and The Beautiful and Damned. Well, at least those B&N Classics are good value. |

Fan Fiction e-books I've been wandering around the internet today - my stomach ulcer gave me hell last night so I wasn't in any condition to do anything other than lay around like a very painful lump - and I stumbled across the Ebook Library, which is a site for fan fiction authors to upload their fan fiction in various formats so those of us with ebook readers (me!) can read it on the go. If you haven't visited there, you really need to. It's a absolutely wonderful place. I'm thinking about uploading my fiction there just as soon as I figure out how to direct link to my divshare account. Everyone else on the site has a click/download method going on and I can only figure out how to link them to the web page to download the stuff. Why does linking have to be so complicated? In any case, I'm kind of hoping that a few authors out there on my friends list *cough*hint*cough* would consider having their fan fiction done up in e-book format. Ever since I got my Sony Reader (a gift from my awesome sister), I've been ebook-ing my favorite fan fiction like mad. Having that site just made my life that much easier. The only thing I'm having issues doing - as far as ebook-ing - is figuring out how to insert a table of contents that is accurate. I'm using a portable version of MS Windows 2007 for the computer I ebook on and every time I try to create a table of contents (for personal use, I put several stories in one ebook) that has the correct page number for which page each story is on. I'll have to keep working with it, I guess. Other than that, everything works out nicely. I just finished doing a love Magnificent 7 e-book for myself with multiple stories - all Chris/Ezra - with lovely art and book covers. Too bad Sony Reader only shows pictures black and white. Oy vey. Anyhow, if you haven't been over there, run now. It really made my day. |

Klezmer Battle Royale Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day in Canada, and I would like to give thanks to pinch-hitters. Bless you, bless you wondrous beings! Praise be to you. That said, we never have enough and will gladly take down you name if you're willing to have us contact you with a prompt (it's D/Hr)(no obligation to accept it). Klezmer music-off In one corner, the Jewish Masters of some place. In the other corner, the Roma Masters of another place. Today, they will come together and do audio battle! Which group will emerge triumphant, shining in glory? Which group will crawl away, wretched in their defeat? Watch on to find out: ( Read more... )I think we all know Twilight is going to be movie of questionable quality. Will it be worse, better, or of similar quality to the source material? We'll have to wait and see, and in the meantime think of directors who could have worked on Twilight and made it either fantastic or at least different from the regular boring vampire crap (you know the genre is in need of revitalization when you react with 'zzzzzz' instead of 'thrilling!'). - Darren Aronofsky (π, Requiem for a Dream, The Fountain) - Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, The Beach, 28 Days Later, Millions) - Coen Brothers (Fargo, O Brother, Where Art Thou?, No Country for Old Men, Burn After Reading) - Alfonso Cuarón (A Little Princess, Y tu mamá también, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Children of Men) I wish it could be so, for it would be magnificent to behold! Ugh, wtf why am I typing like this? Thinking about it, would also be great if any of those directors directed a HP movie (or did so again, in Cuarón's case). Movies aren't for sticking to canon (unless I want to complain about something), movies are for drama and style and great shots. I need a new lipstick colour, my current one (fresh watermelon - clinique) is too summer. If you wear lipstick, what colour are you using for the fall/winter? Current Mood:  sick |

Kummallinen kaupunki Gästhem Kronanin henkilö oli sotkuisesti pukeutunut ja pelottava. Taidan olla ainoa asiakas, huoneeni on numero 1. Tulee mieleen Ultra Bran Pärnu. Maarianhaminan kirjastossa melkein ensimmäinen teos johon törmäsin oli sindarin oppikirja. Ostin poistomyynnistä englanninkielisen kirjan joka on kirjoitettu nelkytluvulla. Pitäisi löytää ruokapaikka. Ihan erilainen kaupunki kuin kuvittelin. Kuudelta on joku nuorten jumalanpalvelus jossain kirkossa josta en tiedä että missä se on. Jo Current Mood:  weird |

Fusion Fic: And Then He Wakes (Numb3rs, Supernatural) Yay! I wrote Fusion Fic! For Numb3rs and Supenatural! It's my first time! *Yay!* Title: And Then He Wakes Author: Prentice Rating: PG-15 Fandoms: Numbers, Supernatural Pairings: Don/Charlie Spoilers: Supernatural Season 4 – Episode 1 Notes: This is a fusion between Numbers and Supernatural with the Eppes boys in place of the Winchester boys. What’s the mean? It means that the yellow-eyed demon wanted Charlie, not Sam, and that it was Don not Dean who went to Hell. Author’s Note: Because this is a fusion, Don and Charlie may very well not be in character but I’m trying to write them in a way that reflects this very different life their living i.e. Don never became an FBI agent but a demon hunter and Charlie is still absolutely brilliant but doesn’t teach at CalSci and relies heavily on the strength of his brother as a hunter. Summary: Don makes it a few hours before he calls his brother… ( .and then he wakes to the sound of angels ) Current Mood:  excited |

Upate...you know you want one
So, I haven't posted in a while....
Drama with books and the Williams Act/Settlement and the district not realizing that our school is different and we really should have books enough for at least HALF our student population (We're a school where the number of our students changes drastically quarter to quarter). I may have to redo my entire curriculum for next quarter and teach 4 different things in one class. I'm already teaching two at time.
Two of my students were bothering the nutrition detention, so I told them that if they wanted detention so bad, then to go right in, and they took off running. Idiots, really, it's not like I don't know who you are when I have you both for 7th period. They got hour long detentions later that day.
I had three kids each for both of my after school film club days this week. They didn't stay the whole time, but it's a start.
My department chair said she had plans for me next year and then called me department chair...not sure if she was serious or not.
Had a cold off and on all week, left me pretty tired on Friday, I couldn't even finish cleaning my living room, but I got most of it done and should be able to get the rest today. I may start on the kitchen/diningroom...or wait until next week. |

it's pretty funny that the time when we want to hold on the most is the time when we have to learn to let go.

A post about *those* House ep 6 spoilers. Because it wouldn't be right if I didn't say something. So much for staying spoiler free. But like I was ever really going to where something like this is concerned. ( My thoughts )I am only just resisting the temptation to mark October 28th down in my calendar.

And now back to out regularly scheduled programming. It’s not that easy to get rid of me. I know I have been gone for a hell of a long time but I’m back. I needed to straighten some things out in my life and I think I’ve actually been able to accomplish that, as of right now at least. When I was away I tried to lurk so I wasn’t completely out of the loop but that didn’t go so well. So here is me, completely out of the loop. I now wear glasses only part time, contacts thought they don’t seem like much have made a very big impact on what I feel comfortable doing. I’ve started taking classes leading up to being an attorney, current one is Introduction to Administration of Justice ( or as I like to call Cops R Us), I know a lot of people wouldn’t find it that interesting but it’s one of the first classes that I have really been involved with. I got my drivers license, that’s a big thing for me considering I never wanted to get one, I was in a situation where it was the right thing to do and it would make things easier for my family so I did. Along with getting my license I got into my first car accident, not fun, didn‘t even damage either car and I was sobbing my eyes out in front of the guy I backed into. I have managed to stop myself from making harsh comments when it comes to politics, but considering the election is about a month away I’m not sure how long that will last. I’ve really missed maintaining this blog, I know it’s not a big name blog or anything but it always felt good when I had a different person’s opinion on something that was running through my head.  Note: I changed the header, and the banner at the top of my user info. What do you guys think? Current Mood:  content |

I was in a trance and forgot it all A Day in the Life is done. Really have some issues with the ending - Chapter 21, in particular - but I like the final chapter and what's done is done. Got Dig Out Your Soul, and I absolutely love it (surprise, surprise). Waiting for the Rapture and I'm Outta Time and Falling Down = love. Went to the State Fair, was bored, but I ate greasy food and saw a friend I haven't seen in a while so all in all a good day. Really busy, but oh well. Need to write.

the old me is dead and gone. ahh yes, change.
and for the first time in forever, i'm loving it.
but it seems like whenever i'm at a great place in my life, things are going bad for everybody else which makes me feel sad/guilty. but i do love the feeling of belonging somewhere. i love college more than i can describe. i mean of course i'm not happy all the time, but i just feel so free and independent and capable. it's the best feeling in the world. and i love all of my college friends. i'm just at such a great place right now. this is the best i've felt in my entire life.
however i can tell with some of these changes i'm going to be losing quite a bit too. i suppose that's all part of growing up though, hmm?

So, it's been a while since I've updated my LJ, even though a lot of shit has happened. This has possibly been the hardest few weeks I've ever had, and yet I'm happy - I know that once I get through all of this shit, I'll be a much stronger person.
With the economic crisis going on, maybe it's best to mention my job first and foremost. It sucks. Don't get me wrong, I kind of like my job. Really. I mean, I don't think it's possible to LOVE your job - unless you're a stay at home parent - but it's decent. At least, it's better than any of the other jobs I've had before.
The problem isn't the work itself, but the hours I'm getting. They're terrible. And it's not just me, it's everyone in the company. My hours have been drastically cut, and it's made paying bills hard as all hell. I've searched and searched for other jobs: full-time jobs to replace the one I have, part-time jobs to supplement it, and I've only just received good news.
After about a month, I finally had an interview this morning, and two more next week. With a little luck, I'll get something - anything is better than what I have now. It's seriously that bad. As everyone knows, I've never been 'into' money, but when you're struggling to pay the rent, you realize how much of a necessity it is, whether you like it or not.
Another thing that's made this month tough was the coming and going of a very special person to me: Dustin. I met him quite unexpectedly, and he hit me like a ton of bricks. I wasn't looking to meet anyone, but like I said, he crashed into my life and, for lack of better words, fucked everything up.
I - we - were completley smitten with each other within about ten minutes. After two days, we were finishing each other's sentences and knew practically all there was to know about each other. We spent hours and hours on the phone, stayed up all night IM'ing on Yahoo Messenger, and counted down the seconds until we could see each other. It was like nothing I've ever experienced before, and it was completely insane.
And then, like that, he vanished. He was offered a job as a farm hand in Hawaii and took it. No joke. I can't say I blame him; who wouldn't prefer Hawaii to Wisconsin? But seriously, it upset me something terrible. I was so upset that I refused to see him off before he left. I'm not normally like that, but damn, I cried the entire day.
Needless to say, I was listening to a lot of Sarah Brightman and feeling sorry for myself.
But I've recovered, and I'm back to my normal self. In reality, things like this happen all the time: people come into your life quickly, and leave just as quick. And if you're meant to see them again, you will. I have a good feeling that Dustin and my meeting was not an accident.
So, there you are! My life the past month or so in a nutshell. It's been one helluva roller coaster ride, but I've never been happier in my life. I feel like ... I appreciate things more. I'm happy just to have a roof over my head and air in my lungs. I've always taken the simple things for granted, but not anymore. |

* Grab the nearest book.
* Open the book to page 56.
* Find the fifth sentence.
* Post the text of the next two to five sentences in your journal along with these instructions.
* Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.
