Athena just died. I woke up to lots of moving noises coming from her cage which suddenly stopped. I knew what it was, but was still too asleep to do anything. My last two rats I was able to hold while they died, and while it's such a horrible death to watch, I feel horrible that Athena had to do it alone. I don't know. Maybe animals usually like ( Read more... )

I feel like Ted from Scrubs. Just one little, sad, pathetic thing happens after another. On top of all the big things that are happening. Actually, my life is worse than Ted's because I'm not part of a wicked accapella band.

Beginning of Term:
I start out excited to begin the new term. New classes, new profs, new books. I go to my first class, feeling motivated and happy, determined to attend every class, take amazing notes, and do all the readings before-hand.

The more things go wrong/pile up/spin out of control, the more I just want to escape to my comfortable old fantasy world: Middle Earth. I'm re-reading Fellowship of the Ring for comfort instead of all the novels/poetry/articles/text books that I'm supposed to be reading for the million assignments I have due in the next two days.

It's awesome and very generous, especially considering how tight for ( Read more... )

So I've been trying to figure out why I've been abandoning my livejournal for so long, and I've come up with a few theories:

b) I've been actually busy with family and life, so I haven't been able to ( Read more... )

How sad do you have to be to cry while listening to wizard rock?

Yeah, I thought so. Man, I'm pathetic.

Well, it's been an...interesting few days.

Saturday was wonderful fun with friends going way back to high school, Tiffany and Wendy (also known as

I am sorry to report that my dear Rupert has passed away this morning after a horrible few hours where I got to watch him suffer. I am so over death.

I love the rain. And therefore I am happy.

So, let me take this opportunity to tell you what I have been up to recently.

I've been depressed. Big surprise (why aren't the pills working yet?!). But before this bout of depression I was home and actually having a good time! Saw my new baby cousin, went to my sister's music night, and saw old music ( Read more... )
