Moving sucks, I'm $2000+ in debt, severe anxiety has me barely eating, work sucks, starting school in August, trying to get that sorted, trying to get my student loans sorted. I don't feel like going into it but suffice to say I'm a wreck.

But moving on.

I'm kind of apathetic about ( Read more... )

Friday Five.  I'm so bad about these.

1.) Where do you get most of your information about current local events?

Twitter, mainly the KGMB9 feed and retweets, and sometimes the newspaper.  It sits on the front table at work, and I'll peek at the paper as I'm coming in; if a headline grabs my eye, I'll grab the paper to read it, but I'm not a regular ( Read more... )

Friday Five: Dairy

1. What are your feelings about milk?

Cow's milk?  Mostly I can't tolerate it.  I'm not fully lactose intolerant, as I can still have milk on occasion, and I can do ice cream and the like, but too much milk will make me sick to my stomach.

2. What are your feelings about cheese?

I like cheese when it's cold, but too much cooked ( Read more... )

I started school last week.  Just a single class, Psychology of Personality, Mondays and Wednesdays from 6 until 9.  I've only been to one class (I missed the first) and I like it so far, although I wish I hadn't had to plunk down $100 for the textbook.  I decided to take the class last minute and didn't have time to order a book online, especially ( Read more... )

There are so many things I say I'd like to do but then never get around to doing them, either because I think too big, or I expect too much of myself, or I get too hung up on getting things perfect.  This is a list of things I would like to do this year that I think are actually practical and acomplishable if I can just push myself to do them and ( Read more... )

Friday Five

1. What kind of out-of-school lessons did you take as a kid?
Although I had a few short lived things -- ballet lessons at three, a week of gymnastics camp when I was 8, two guitar lessons in high school -- the only lesson I took for an extended period of time was violin.  I took private lessons for about half a year in high school because ( Read more... )

Friday Five

1.)  What’s your favorite card game?

I love rummy and I'm always looking for people to play it with but usually people get frustrated because I always win.  Rummy was the game I always played with my family when I was growing up, and especially when I visit my father, we almost always play rummy.  I also end up building a lot of card ( Read more... )

Remember the whole insomnia thing?  It's 2:30am.  At least it's Friday night, but I have a vet appointment at 9:30 tomorrow so I really ought to sleep eventually.  The problem tonight is that I was so tired when I got home from work that I fell asleep until 10pm, and of course now I can't sleep.  But it's really annoying and there's nobody online ( Read more... )
