I am still in Birmingham, and I don't really want to go back to DC tomorrow. I just have such a long list of responsible adult shit that has to get taken care of in the next few weeks, and I don't want to do ANY of it. I'm not actually going to do anything about any of it until next week, I don't think, because 2011 and I are DONE, so I'm not ( Read more... )

I made a sweet potato pie last night. It was really good, but then this morning my dad left it on the counter when he went to help my mom scrape the ice of her windshield and, as always happens when you leave the labradoodle unattended with food, she ate all that was left of it. So far this trip she has eaten half a sweet potato pie, several bags ( Read more... )

I couldn't sleep last night/this morning because I seem to be descending into death plague: round two (whyyyyyyy, I was feeling so much better. :( ) so now I'm up before my entire family. But I have Sudafed and apple cider and I'm sitting in the living room with the Christmas tree and there's the possibility of a white Christmas. I wish my ( Read more... )

I am safely ensconced in Birmingham at my parents' house and while it's still not quite *home* for Christmas because of how much I miss New Mexico this time of year, it is close enough and it is so good to just be with my family and have no obligations at all. Last night we drank eggnog and put the finishing touches on the tree and I am finally, ( Read more... )

Fangirl times with marenfic and southernbangel were pretty excellent last night. We ended up watching Fanboys and Glee and watching drinking a truly incredible amount of gin. I had heard mixed things about Fanboys and there are definitely things in it that make me cringe as a feminist and a queer person, but oh, the fannish stuff in it was just fun. It's for sure ( Read more... )

I keep forgetting to say thank you to kita0610 for the card and murielle for the e-card. <333 They made me smile. (I love the LJ holiday card exchange so much ( Read more... )

Grades are STILL NOT UP. This makes sense, as today was Sunday and we haven't actually had a weekday since Christmas, but oh man, I am losing my shit, flist. Anxiety dreams and everything. It's good times. :( JUST TELL ME ALREADY. PUT ME OUT OF MY MISERY. Way too much of my self-worth is wrapped up in my GPA. It is just not healthy ( Read more... )

I got an HTC Hero (Sprint's Droid phone) as an early Christmas present because, as a few of you have noticed, I haven't had a working phone in about two months. It was more of a glorified pager. I could send and receive text messages but the second I tried to make a voice call, the phone would die unless it was plugged in. I don't know what I ( Read more... )

I am in Birmingham! \o/ I am exhausted and my cat hates me and my parents' cat hates me *more* for bringing my cat, because they loathe each other. But my parents love me and had food waiting for me and it's great to see them and to be here. All I want to do is lie around and hang out with my family and maybe write something not school related and ( Read more... )

At some point, the question does become "how many icons of Cobra Starship in various combinations does one actually need?" More, apparently ( Read more... )
