I've been toying w/ the idea of doing NaNoWriMo this year; I think it would be helpful for me to have a creative outlet, so I've been spending a lot of time doing research on tvtropes. To be fair probably an equal amount of time is spent creating a tab explosion as is spent actually being productive, but hey that's what the internet is for.
I make ( Read more... )

Lately the old "what the eff am I going to do w/ my life" worries have resurfaced, b/c I've been so stressed about school. I often find myself thinking things like "a lot of people who don't go to college have fine jobs that they're happy with" or "why don't I just get a poli sci major like everyone else, easy peasy."
Granted I give myself these ( Read more... )

My date jeans - known as "date jeans" b/c they are still in great condition b/c I seldom wear them, both b/c they are too small and b/c I never go on dates - FIT ME PERFECTLY. I guess there's something to be said for being on your feet and running around a deli 25 hours a week.
This is where I would usually say, "I promise a real update soon," but ( Read more... )

I smell like ham salad and that is NOT OKAY.
More on the glamorous and exciting world of a deli clerk tomorrow; right now is the time to indulge in an embarrassingly long bath to forget about when I spilled peppercorn parmesan salad down my front.

Grrr I'm about to punch something large and furry. I have only now realized that after sending Enrique to Best Buy to be mended, he is mysteriously MISSING Windows Dvd Maker. I can't find anywhere to download it (legally or otherwise) and I am going to find every Geek on the Geek Squad and kick him in the stuff.

Fuuuuck I lost half the shit I need to sign to accept loans to be able to go to Marquette. I suspect my mother's rampant need to clean is the culprit, but I had two envelopes from MU full of forms I have to verify before I can register or do any of the good stuff.
FUUUUUUUUCK
EDIT: Found in the back of the second drawer of my mother's desk! All hope ( Read more... )

AAAARGH JURY DUTY MONDAY. I have no car, no money to buy gas even if I had one, and am a 130-pound white girl who does NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE riding Milwaukee buses alone. I was chosen from a pool of reserve jurors b/c my last name starts w/ one of the letters L-Z. THIS IS THE WORST SYSTEM EVER.

I've never felt more like a child. Here I am, crying over $90 overdraft charges from my bank (the online banking system is impossible to figure out, it looks like I actually will have to start balancing my checkbook the hard way) and calling my dad for money. I thought I was supposed to be growing up in college but I feel like I'm fucking moving ( Read more... )

I was reading an old Cosmo the other day, and - not that I take life advice from it nor do I expect to read anything I would consider worthwhile life advice - I was APPALLED.
There is an article w/ two titles - one is "What Smart Girlfriends Never Do" and the other is "How to Keep Your Man Totally Turned On by You."
It goes on to tell all the women ( Read more... )

The aforementioned ridiculous loose thing I found in my purse, undated but considering the fact that it refers to KOTOR I have to believe it comes from early June:
I always thought I hated when menfolk weren't up-front w/ me - not that they lied to me, but that they didn't tell me every trivial fact about themselves at our first meeting. Then I ( Read more... )
