First, I would like to announce that I am graduating next semester. Fall. THIS YEAR. I'm GRADUATING THIS YEAR. I can't even describe how happy this makes me and how relieved I am. Nine months, and I'm done ( Read more... )

I had planned to work out, and got dressed for it, got a gigantic glass of water... and now I just want chocolate and sleep ( Read more... )

I started a new "life rule": no screens past 8pm, and in bed at 10pm (regardless of what I'm doing -- reading in bed is perfectly acceptable). I'm obviously breaking the first part of the rule, but I can't decide if I want to modify it based on weekends and holidays. Sometimes the rule just simply can't be met, like on nights I go to concerts or ( Read more... )

I never really know what to write about shows, so I usually don't write much. At least in the past, I haven't. And I still don't know what to say other than: It was freaking amazing and one of the best shows I've ever been to.

Could it be, a lyric video I don't hate? So. Ignoring the opening, even if you're not into metal, stick through this video at least until Jennie-Ann starts singing. After the first verse, you're allowed to bail if you're not mesmerized by her voice and/or intrigued by the lyrics. I can't stop listening to this. I haven't been this enamored with ( Read more... )

I've been working out on a near-daily basis, mostly weight lifting paired with a protein shake. It's been awesome, because I already feel better about my body, but I'm so sore. A deeper pain, not like burning muscles after a good workout, but down to the bones, especially in my lower back (which has always been weak). So today I'm taking a break, ( Read more... )

Every now and again I get completely overwhelmed by things. (Sometimes it's as simple as existing. Holy shit, I'm real, you guys. So are you. How crazy is that?)

Today it's how much music I've never heard. And I think part of it is that yesterday I went through Pitchfork's Top 50 of 2013, because it's getting close to the time where I'll start ( Read more... )

I've lost sight of why I really created this journal. I went back to early entries, when I first created it in 2010, and found I had actually made many of them private. I'm not entirely sure why. None of the entries I locked contained anything I can remember wanting to hide.

My first entry:

I've had a friends-only account here for years, and I ( Read more... )

I was inspired to write an entry on this film mostly because of pooka_neko's review. I had wanted to write something up about it when I first saw it a few weeks ago, but I was so overwhelmed by the fail that I was worried it would be little beyond word vomit.

But I'm cooled off now.

I guess I should throw an update onto this journal mostly because I got a job, and that's important ( Read more... )
