Liiiiiife?/fandomy things, I guess

1. I desperately miss school right now. Like, I can't wait for it to start again. I may just die from boredom waiting. So um, I was reading about my grammar & style class online, and someone who took it last semester said the class started with 20 students, and by the end there were only 8. I'm excited about this. Because I love grammar, I love small classes, and I love feeling pretentious and intelligent. It's a perfect match. Oh, also, I bought the textbook and I started reading something about dangling modifiers. It was awesome. I actually fell asleep, but it was awesome anyway.
2. I've recently had some crazy adventures in fangirling. Um, I started fangirling Renee Fleming? I know nothing about opera, but I find that I randomly enjoy listening to the crazy shit her voice does. Granted, it has nothing to do with her personality, so...fangirling fail, I guess. If anything, it's enjoyable having something strange and new to listen to.
3. Also, I am sliiiightly obsessed with In Treatment. The second I found out Dianne Wiest played Gabriel Byrne's psychotherapist it was obvious that I needed to start watching immediately, because that is clearly the kind of thing I'm looking for in my fandom life. So I did. Except I actually stopped watching Gina's episodes and became obsesssssed with Sophie instead. Therefore, Wednesday nights are my neverending emotional crack, and I neverrrrrr want them to end. Also Michelle Forbes is life-owning, can I just say that? I want her to never, ever leave my life. It was bad enough living without her between 24 and BSG, and after BSG. But now that I've experienced her again it's just like...I don't even know. She might just be the best drug ever. So yeah, I may start watching True Blood soon?
4. I have failed at writing so much lately. I've had random bursts of inspiration, but nothing substantial enough to actually start writing. There's a part of me that just wants to start writing the project I feel least prepared for/enthusiastic about just because I have no prior expectations or anything. It's kind of weird, but I find that when I have issues with writing, the only potentially useful thing I can do is go in the most random, unpredictable direction I can come up with and see what happens. It's kind of like throwing yourself into really, really obscenely freezing water. You might die, but you might...learn to swim? No? It was worth a shot. I enjoy fail metaphors.
5. I HAVE A NEW BOOKCASE IN MY ROOM. I AM SUPER EXCITED. BECAUSE MY BOOKS ARE NOW LIKE, NOT IN A FUCKING BOX. SO I'M REALLY PSYCHED ABOUT THAT. AND NOW I'M GONNA GO TO BED.
