Grad school is starting to flit across my mind.  On a whim I started looking at UEA in Norwich (as a citizen of the UK I get UK standard rates for a top rate education...woo hoo) and got all excited about their masters in scriptwriting with a focus on contemporary world stff and nearly jizzed all over my new apartment with excitement ( Read more... )

Hooray!  The holidays are over!  I think they went very well.  Yesterday Anna and I took over Christmas Dinner by substituting it with a wild New Mexican dinner of frito pies, chili, chilequiles, pineapple mango margaritas, and flan.  Everyone got completely trashed, my mother was the most trashed of all (delightful/horrifying) and at one point ( Read more... )

Funny sentence.  Throwback to old times ( Read more... )

Feeling more stable and on top of stuff than I have in a while.  I'm about to go meet the kid that I'm going to be taking care of and hanging out with, and I am really excited.  A wonderful turn of events came about when I found out that my wonderful friend Hedy knows the family really well, and they're very chill and open people, which is always ( Read more... )

It's 6 in the AM, and I woke up about an hour ago to my legs acting like a helicopter over my head, spiraling out of control, sending blankets tumbling every whichway, and knocking over two separate glasses of I-don't-know-what.  I'm always totally baffled when I wake up and all of my blankets are on the floor, and always wondered what exactly I do ( Read more... )

Harumph.  I've been doing that thing where I unintentionally pass out on my face in my clothes at some UNGODLY hour (last night it was around 9:45 pm) and then wake up all grumpy while it's still dark out and feel completely rested and again, grumpy.  This especially happens when it's all frosty and dark all the time, because I just feel like ( Read more... )

Haha, facebook is so delightful sometimes.  I just logged on and found out about an article written in the NYT about St. John's, and by virtue of how in depth and varied all the status responses are don't even feel inclined to read it, because I feel I know everything I will like and dislike about it.  My friend Emma wrote the best one by far, and ( Read more... )

Goodness I took a long break from lj.  Good to be back ( Read more... )

There are tornadors in MA?  Wow.  I remember when I was nine I asked my mom what a tornado was, and was heavily disappointed to find that a tornado was not an enormous tomato that rolled through towns causing pulpy destruction.  I'm glad everyone I love is posting on fb and telling me that they're okay.  Hooray for virtual social networking ( Read more... )

Ah, everything that was a burden lifted as quickly as it set, tricky blighters!  Hoorah hoorah, no more burdens (although I still need to get my headlight repaired).

I need to chill the fuck out.  I mean, now I feel chill, but everyone told me that the court appearance was no big deal, and yet I made a huge deal of it and became quickly antisocial ( Read more... )
