Thanks to everyone who held on without getting a proper introduction post. Hi, guys! My life's been a bit, uh, weird the last couple of days. Not that it isn't usually, but the kind of weird that doesn't steer me towards updating ( Read more... )

It's amazing how much 1000 words of autobiographical information can kick my ass. I just finished my Cornish application and I'm exhausted ( Read more... )

I'm contributing to Dili's friendslist having a simultaneous crop of weird dreams.

Last night I dreamed that I was in Heroes, and I was in a house full of people who had powers. The only one I remember was this teenage boy who had the ability to look at blueprints of anything and make it out of nothing (albeit imperfectly). It was cool-- he made ( Read more... )

When you get sat down to go through a four-year plan designed to show you how to graduate your current college, and the only thing you can think is "I don't want to graduate from this college," because you're sick of expending effort to fit in and then having it fail and spending all your effort trying to run as far as humanly possible away from ( Read more... )

Up till 2 on Saturday morning, slept until 9, drove for two hours with Mom, had to go straight to the theatre without lunch at 12:30, did backstagework, weathered three huge fallings-out in the cast nursed our leading lady who suddenly had an emotional and physical breakdown at the same time, lived on caffeine, swore at the turntable which finally ( Read more... )

For the last two and a half weeks I've been running on more or less no sleep and a potent mix of caffeine and saturated fats. I know this isn't any different from most college students' lives but hang in there; I haven't been able to get any sleep, I've been doing homework while doing running crew each night, I've been bloody exhausted. I went to ( Read more... )

I would've been in bed by one but I kept rolling over onto my hand and feeling the wounds protest; at midnight my fingers had oozed so much I had to change the bandages ( Read more... )

I was unaware that it was possible to have this much phlegm in your throat and not drown. I practically sound like I'm speaking Welsh whenever I talk ( Read more... )
