The voices that control me from inside my head say I shouldn't kill you yet
mood : not half-bad
listening to : Jonathan Coulton - “Skullcrusher Mountain”
It's finally that time of the year that I can drag out my Christmas Hojo bouncy icon. Yay. I went out and got Christmas cards and everything, so I'll be sending those out soon. Unlike last year, I actually have no idea what I'm getting for Christmas from my parents. I'm pretty excited this year. ^_^ I actually made a nice Christmas list using my best handwriting that was very detailed and explained everything that my parents would need to know about any given item. I think geeks are easy to shop for, but it's all foreign to mom and dad.
So I've been avoiding LJ for a while because I knew that if I touched it, it would wind up full of emo and angst, and I didn't want that. A lot of stuff has been going on, and not always necessarily with me. Things are actually getting better at school, especially now that college is over and done with. The college classes won't start up again until January 19th, which means that the next month or so is going to go smoothly. I mean, we don't even have class for the first half of the day. We just have to sit in the library and watch movies in the backroom and stay quiet. I'm cool with that.
Speaking of college and whatnot, I feel like I did well on both finals. The government one went especially well. I remembered most all of the answers and was the first one finished by a good five-minute lead. I'm going to miss the Government professor. She didn't like the government much, which made the class highly entertaining. Ah well.
Application-ness is over with as well. I wound up tampering with my transcript after it had been notarized, so I had to go back and make sure that it was okay with the school that I had written what I did. It was fine, thankfully. I didn't want to have to go through all the trouble of getting another transcript. I wonder about the counselor sometimes. She really doesn't know much about getting kids into college. Yay. Now all that's left to do is get Judy to finish up hers, and we'll be doing great. I would really like for her to come with me to UT. She can cook and clean! Can you blame me? Oh, and she's been my best friend for the past six years. That might have something to do with it.
If not Judy, then I'm hoping I wind up going to UT with someone I know. I'd hate to get stuck with someone that will make the voices in my head tell me to kill them. Because then I might have to demonstrate my developing mad scientist skillz and do that. Biochemistry, here I come!
I have a lot of art-stuff to catch up on, which I'm assuming my newfound time will be going towards. Requests and a few Christmas trades will keep me busy. =P I woke up feeling not so well, so I stayed in bed and played Xenogears most of the day. Also read on The Gunslinger. It was such a wonderfully worthless day.
Might also get back to writing on my book. Nano didn't go as planned *cough* but now that I have some time to spare, hey, maybe I'll finish my novel sometime. Wishful thinking. I can't believe it's already the 11th.
I think I'll just leave off with this:
O_o
EDIT: I finally posted the Hojo picture I did for reunion! You can go look at it here. Hojo is love.
