Update of doom

"I would buy every Shins album ever made if it made me one iota as cute as Natalie Portman was in that movie." -Kasey, m'roommate. People who act cute just so people will think they are cute drive me absolutely insane. Mostly because I used to do that, and in a way I still do, just not as much/blatantly. This is one of the reasons I didn't enjoy Garden State. The director made Natalie Portman be so perfectly cute it was disgusting. The movie did have a lot of really good quotes though, which is why I've cycled through so many GS icons.

Workin' on the site. I wish I could find the html for my old school Pris layout because I wanna use it again and I still have all the pictures.

New eljay icon, it's me! I need to learn to take pictures of myself not in mirrors. Or at least turn the damn flash off. I like shiny things though.

Last week wasn't very fun. I had a test in every class but CS. My ochem prof is a real prick. I think I would do a lot better in that class if I didn't hate him so. But I did manage to finish my palindrome program, which would have been a lot easier if we *hadn't* had to use pointers. I know most of you aren't going to be able to tell what's going on, and that makes me feel like I've actually learned something over the past semester.
