Chocolate makes the world go round.

Fuming is over.  Realization that tomorrow's the last day to take my ExSc105 test (dumb online class)--with a late fee. By 3.  Gah. I'll take it in between classes I think.

I GOT A 91% ON MY ECOLOGY EXAM!!!!!! *ecstatic*

*fuming*

So.  I went to Andy's house to hang out and whatnot on Sat., and came home to find that 4 of my roommates had eaten my entire 9x13 pan of brownies. (I'd had 3 pieces before I'd left).

I made another batch of brownies, and put a note on them asking that everyone only eat one (after I realized that it was about 1/3 gone already).  That ( Read more... )

  In the past few years I've acquired deep and abiding hatred for Microsoft screwing around with my computer--today, for instance, all of the sudden, they froze all of my Windows programs until I updated that asinine "prove to us that your copy of XP is legit" patch--even though I'd already registered my copy with them!  Considering one of the ( Read more... )

I've decided I'm dissatisfied with my  phobias.

It might be fun to have a bizarre one; not that I want to acquire more than I already have, but...

I've got two major phobias--heights and hypodermic needles--which is to say I'm acrophobic, possibly bathophobic (fear of falling from heights), and trypanophobic.  And that's not just saying I'm ( Read more... )

To think about the problems of declining global diversity, rain forest destruction, and the destruction of environmental heterogeniety in another pespective...:

35% of the world's total biodiversity (including 95% of all amphibians) live in tropical "hotspots".  These hotspots are only 2.3% of the world's total landmass.  The estimated cost to ( Read more... )

I love my major.  Honestly I do.  I'm not going to change it, ever--not after this semester's nasty courses!--but I'm thumping my head in disgust while looking at the classes I have left.

My major is apparently the only major I've found, to date, out of at least 135 other majors (not counting emphasis options) and the 108+ minors offered at BYU, ( Read more... )

I have a vague feeling I've acquired sadistic tendencies... *shrug*

When I give constructive criticism, it's just that. Constructive, critical  feedback.  I just have this vague feeling that anyone who's been told their entire life that they're an amazing author--and has never actually given helpful criticism about writing--is going to cry or ( Read more... )

I've been dealing with extreme frustration over forcing myself to ignore an obnoxious little plot bunny that just. won't. go. away!  Grar.  I mean, I know I barely have time to eat, much less write for the amount of time it would take to do the idea justice.  I'd post it at a challenge-issuing site, but I've done that twice before and no one seemed ( Read more... )
