sometimes I update
well first thing's first, my old laptop died a sad, sad death and so I got a new one. and it is a macbook air. and it's pretty freaking awesome even though I had to go into a small amount of debt to get it. like the kind of debt that makes mob bosses show up to your door in the middle of the night and crack bottles across your kneecaps. but it's okay because IT'S PRETTY
Also in other news the Sanctuary season 4 trailer MURDERED MY BRAIN YESTERDAY. like. helenandwillpunchingeachothersfaces.gif was a thing I stared at for a long, long time. you guys I just I ship it so hard I WANT TO LASH OUT VIOLENTLY. I SHIP IT SO HARD I THREW MY BACK OUT. I SHIP IT SO HARD I WANT TO SET THINGS ON FIRE etc etc
and then fall semester started obviously and whyyyyy does school suck so much this year? like, I cannot really get into any of my classes, and maaaybe it's because i just want to graduate already (even though I really don't, it is scary). my civil rights movement class is fantastic but I'm not sure the professor is as together as my history professors usually are? he's retired and he knows his shit, but still. our first paper was like, "EMPATHY PAPER. Write a paper putting yourself "in someone else's shoes" during the civil rights movement. 600 words." and i was like, okay i'm not a freshman in high school this is a four-thousand level course I guess that's cool? We watch a lot of ken burns in that class which is also fine. and then there is intro to political theory and oh my god just, just, just kill me now. it's all Greek to me. /pun But really, I don't know. polisci is great and i only need like 2 classes to get my minor but uhhhh FUCK YOU PLATO/SOCRATES BECAUSE I HATE YOUR FACES. I just want to talk about how american politics are a self-fufilling prophecy and about how voter apathy and uninformed majorities are basically killing our country along with the media and about how there's really no way out because we keep going further and further in and propaganda is rampant and here's why american politics suck and here's why we can't change it. IS THAT REALLY SO MUCH TO ASK. I would marry a paradox if i could (probably).
and then my space exploration class is classy and puts sam carter-y thoughts in my head, but even though my professor is an adorable german man it is really difficult to pay attention in that class. it's just like straight lecture from powerpoint in a really hot auditorium.
anyway. I need to figure out what I'm doing after I graduate. besides not having a real job, i mean. because, lol, I will have an american studies major and a polisci minor and so obviously my life is less valuable than someone who is in business or engineering. anyone wanna hire me to tell them really fantastic unknown stories about the american revolution or slavery? or I could read aloud really enthusiastically from House of Seven Gables or The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. or I could, you know, juggle. just as soon as I learn how to juggle.
hopefully there will be traveling, at least. oh and I NEED TO PUT TOGETHER MY RESUME LIKE YESTERDAY and maybe even look around at grad school things and/or internships. anyone have any tips?
in completely unrelated news I am simultaneously watching farscape and rewatching sg1, bsg and sanctuary, and this makes me happy and a little brain-fried. also I miss leverage. and also sanctuary but that's coming back in like a week so \o/
aaaaaand I am so excited for halloween weekend I could burst. Friday we're doing a harry potter party and we're going to do an enchanted ceiling and House shots and all sorts of fun stuff. I think I'll stand at the door in my McGonagall costume and ask everyone for their Hogsmeade permission slips. and then Saturday we'll recover and Sunday is Samhain, which is the most stunning day of the year for me and I think my soul is going to be very happy that day. Moooonday will be fun because it's Halloween and gf and I will have a witches bonfire and pass out candy to the little changelings in the neighborhood. AUTUMN JUST STAY FOREVER PLEASE. my headaches have also been a ton better lately and I think this is because falltime likes me back.
welp, this has been a post by Kate (TM).
EDIT: OH MY GOD THE CUTEST THING JUST HAPPENED I'm at work and this guy comes up to buy some tickets and he's got this adorable little girl with him, and he finishes paying and then he pauses and is like, "hey can I ask you something i'm kind of embarrassed about?" and I was like "lol sure" and so he hoists his little girl up on the counter and is all "So i bought her this skirt, but did I put it on right? is the zipper supposed to go in back or front?" and she's wearing this fucking cute little denim skirt with flowers and i was like BITES FIST "yes it's on right! see the slit at the side of the leg? that's right where it's supposed to be. it looks adorable on her" YOU CUTE MAN AND CHILD YOU OMG. so he was like "whew, thanks!' and basically i just love people a lot.
