This morning as I was leaving my apartment -- ok, it wasn't morning, it was 3:00 in the afternoon, because it's the WEEKEND and weekends are about sleeping until noon and then watching lots of Yes, Minister in a fashion that would make your mother think you are frittering away your life -- I tripped over a package that the postman had kindly ( Read more... )

I just watched the final episode of Stargate and almost cried at the credits.  Ten years on the air, and now there's no more.

This would not, of course, be hitting me quite as hard if it weren't airing so soon after Commencement.  For the most part, I've maintained a persistent state of denial about graduating, aided by a trip to Ann Arbor that kept ( Read more... )

"So apparently I'm getting a screw date* this year."

"That's fantastic! I wish we had something like that here."

"mghjksf blargle."

"Um . . . do you not want a screw date?"

"I don't know . . . I'm so busy these days.  And all I think about is schoolwork.  I'll probably spend the whole night talking about my comps, entirely by accident."

"Maybe you ( Read more... )

So, my day? This morning I legitimately used manga and anime as sources in a paper for my English senior seminar, and I'm now writing a program that will, according to Kindra, allow me to take over the world. I am not sure what I will do with the world once I possess it, but I am sure that my co-conspirators in the League of People Who Are ( Read more... )

I hate decisions. (You may have noticed that about me). I am also bad at making them. (You probably have noticed that as well). These factors combine to make me absolutely loathe room draw, no matter what my number is. I have never (in all my two times of drawing) come out of room draw without feeling very upset about the decisions I made and ( Read more... )

Just when I cultivate a nice melodramatic angst about being lonely, people come along and prove me wrong. It's been a lovely couple of days for the socialness. A friend came and curled up at the end of my bed while I was desperately finishing my databases assignment not because she was sad or lonely, but because she was happy and contented and ( Read more... )

The weekend has been incredibly fun so far, though not terribly productive. I had a wonderful time at winter ball - I got to have many dances with many good leads, and I love just sitting and watching people in pretty dresses dancing, too. I love that there's real dancing at our school dances. I also love the moments you sometimes have when you' ( Read more... )

The temperature's finally dropped again - for the last week or so it's been in the eighties, and my radiator's been on. It's amazing what a difference it makes having the room at a decent temperature. And having people tell you that they care about you. People care about me even when I'm frazzled and stressed and exhausted and not being nearly ( Read more... )

"Wasn't it lovely that it rained this morning?' my mother asked brightly as she sat down to dinner tonight. "All the cars were skidding and sliding, not just mine ( Read more... )
