I wouldn't front the scene if you paid me
It's amazing what a give-and-take thing Livejournal is. Usually I wake up to at least 2 or 3, sometimes more, emails from LJ comments, but this morning my only email was from Google saying "You have no events scheduled for today" (it's a very depressing email to receive every day, I should probably look into switching that off) and it made me sadface. But it's just because i spent a day off Livejournal! (Which was painful, let me tell you - I dread looking at my flist) Did the Disco or Fluffy Puppy Cuddle Time My Chem get up to any noteworthy shenanigans?
Last night was a lot of fun! I looked lovely, if I do say so myself, and most of my sci fi friends were there, especially Sarah, who got together with Barry officially last night which makes me so happy because they're two of my favorite people here and they totally deserve each other. James showed up after the dinner and awards ceremony thingy, in a dashing black suit (and his stubble-turned-almost-real-beard because I told him I like it so he didn't shave it off *g*) and we had so much fun together. I didn't get drunk at all (such an expensive bar, omg) but lots of people around me did, which is enough to get me acting all goofy in and of itself. Dave was there, who is a very effusive and affectionate drunk, and we had a blast (I believe a threesome was planned with me and James, who is his future roommate) and then I hung out with Sarah's friend Owen (Eoin? I've seen it both ways in Ireland) who is fabulously gay and thinks my boyfriend is cute (at this point the plans became a foursome, YEAH YOU'RE JEALOUS), and in general it was just a ridiculous good time. Sci Fi got snubbed in the awards so some of the guys were pretty bitter (Conor, Mark, Bren) so that was a little bit of a sour note, but I had a great time anyway. I had the geekiest conversation with Jimmy ever - topics ranged through Joss's new series, Battlestar Galactica, and Star Wars - he agrees that Hayden's a good actor who gets a bad rep for the SW movies! \o/ I love geeks. I also got to chat with Colin for a while, which was really nice because it's been quite a while since I got to do that.
Wow that was a really long paragraph. I enjoy remembering the details of nights like that :) I have a lot of awesome pictures, including some truly adorable ones of me and James, so I will be posting those most likely tonight, keep an eye out!
In the meantime, I'm trying not to have a panic attack from all the work I have to do. My sociology class decided to be a MASSIVE BITCH and drop a five thousand word essay on my head yesterday, due in two weeks. Granted, I'm writing it with two other people, but UGH. That's HUGE. On top of that, I have myriad lab reports to write, which are aaaaaalways a bitch, and these two things combined mean that I'm pretty much going to get no time to study in the next two weeks. GREAT.
*breathes*
I predict myself descending into a vibrating ball of stress over the next two months. Suuuuucks :( At least I have you lovely folks to keep me at least a little sane <3 (Except when you keep posting about how faaaabulous MCR is live, I am so jealous, zomg.) I'm afraid I'm going to have to tell James that I can't spend quite so much time with him, because wow, WORK, and then you know I really really need time to myself :-/
LIFE HARD. How are you?
