Hello. I worked a seven hour shift today without dying! I also went to class yesterday, but that was a waste of time since all we did was evaluations and then my professor didn't even show up. I think that I am probabaly going to live.

I got my schedule for next week! I have to be at work on Friday at 3:45 am and I am there until 2pm-ish. Awesome?

For now: nyquil time. Goodnight!

Percy and Sheba! It's crazy to think that he was once that tiny, because he is seriously like 10x that size now and is enormously fat.

coming home from work THIS sick is seriously like coming home from a partty really drunk BUT NOT THE GOOD KIND OF DRUNK, the kind where you just want to find the first soft surface you can and lay down. I had to force myself to at least rinse my race and take my bra off, and that was a lot of fucking work. I also had to take nyquil because i know i will not sleep without it, but it was REALLY HARD because I accidently spit it all over the sink the first time? and then I had a coughing fit and almost spit some gross stuff on the floor, and then i wanted to cry.
I WANT TO DIE RIGHT NOW IS WHAT I AM SAYING TO YOU. please send help in the form of pillows and sick days and maybe a club to the head so i can just fall asleep right now.

If it weren't for the fact that I have to work in about an hour, I would be on day four of not leaving the house because of being sick. Pretty awesome, right?

Hello, I feel like death right now. My head hurts and my throat hurts and everything just hurts? It is taking a lot of effort to not just go back to bed right now. I have to work tomorrow, so that's going to be fun.

I accidentally did day 4 instead of day 3 today. Fuck it, I'm posting this anyway.

So, remember how I was bitching about how awful everything was and how it couldn't possibly get worse? I have a cold now. I didn't have to work AT LEAST, so I was able to just lay on the couch and watch degrassi and drink soup all day. SERIOUSLY, THOUGH, UNIVERSE, WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?

Alright, who knows if I'll actually do all of this or not, but I think it seems like fun! It's basically like that seven day meme from a while back, except way more ambitious, obviously.

What class should I take next semester?

So, next semester, I only need to take six hours of classes, and since it is for electives, I have no idea what to take! I am for-sure taking Women & Work in the Sex Industry, but above you can see my choices for the other class. Right now I am leaning toward the theatre practicum, which basically entails working with costumes/lights and sound/scenery for a few hours a week. I don't even know which of those I would pick, though! Costumes, maybe? I am unqualified to make decisions about my life, lj, you gotsta help me here.

So, my paid account expired (because I got a new debit card, so my automatic payment didn't go through), and I haven't got around to renewing it yet (although I will soon, because I forgot how annoying the ads are), butttt I just wanted to preserve how funny I thought the six icons it chose to save are.

1. My default
2 & 3. Both Glee icons
4. Bobby Fischer
5. Cereal
6. Ryan Ross!

Wtf. Well chosen, lj.

OH MY GOD IT'S A REAL LJ ENTRY.

What's going on, y'all? I have not written in a while because I have been generally feeling pretty shlumpy and gross, but I am kind of coming out of that now? So, whatever, here I am. Not a lot has been going on, except that it's finally getting cold! The past couple of days have been exceptionally gross, and we don't have our heat on yet, so I have spent most of my free time bumbled up in fuzzy blankets.

I think I mentioned a few weeks ago that I wanted to drop my Chaucer class, which I finally got around to officially doing yesterday (after, you know, not going for three weeks). I don't really know how I feel about it, to be honest. Basically it means that I am going to have to take 16th or 17th century literature next semester, which is going to blow, but maybe by then I will have my shit together. I don't know. I wish I could just fucking deal with this stuff, you know? Also, I wish I wish I did not need a pre-18th century literature class to graduate! Either of those would be ideal.

Alsooooo I finally got around to seeing Rent at school tonight! It has been at the dinner theatre all month, but I've been putting it off because I was feeling crappy. Totally wish I had been earlier, though, because it was really fantastic. It's hard for me to be really objective about the show, because I'm so attached to it, and have seen it so many times, but... yeah, it was good. They stuck pretty closely to the Broadway production, in terms of the set/blocking/etc, except for a few things in Act 2 that bugged me. Most of the cast was ok. I was disappointed in the Roger because, to be honest, he was super gay. Like, distractingly so, and he didn't have the right type of voice at all. The standouts were Angel (El Paso has no shortage of effeminate Latino boys) and Mimi (who did a full no-hands hang off the bars during OT, Krysten Cummings/Yaz style). Oh, and the guy playing Paul was someone that Darcy and I had known from Kids N Co, so that was weird! I'm glad that I went (even though I had to sit awkwardly at a table with two strangers all though dinner), because it did remind me of how much I love this goddamn show. I was so sad that Tara and I didn't get to see it over the summer, so this sort of made up for that.

Oh, Rent people, does anyone know what happened to Misty's site? I was trying to check a cast list right now, and I automatically went there before realizing that it was the only site on geocities that I still visited! Is there a backup somewhere? I checked the wayback machine, but it seems to only have the main page archived. I'll be pretty sad if it's gone, because it was such a fantastic resource.

HEY GUYS. I’m probably not doing anything for Halloween, since a) I am lame, and b) I have to work, but I made a Halloween mix cd anyway? So, obviously, I am going to share it so that those of you less lame that me will have a soundtrack for your festivities! Feel free to reblog it/send it to your friends/whatever.

Good things about today:
- I am pretty sure I passed the test I had in my WS class.
- International food fair! I got to eat chicken satay and flirt with a way cute Jewish guy, so that was a general success.
- My dad bought me a doughnut and actually saved it for me (instead of like... getting bored and eating it)
- My ankle hardly hurts at all (only when I say "does my ankle still hurt?" and then flex it in weird ways until it does hurt).

Bad things about today:
- I have to work tonight and will miss Glee.
- I had to talk to the Department of Education. This could kind of be a good thing, because now they will stop telling me my account is past due EVEN THOUGH I AM STILL IN SCHOOL), but it is going under bad because it means that I had to come face to face with how much money I owe. And... Man, their records are messed up or something, but it is saying I owe them way less money than I actually do. This will remain under bad, because I am skeptical.

Hello! I am mostly ljing because I uploaded a few new icons and I want an excuse to use them! This one is obviously Kurt from Glee, because he is my spirit animal etc. etc. The other one is of Bobby Fischer because WHY WOULDN'T IT BE. I made them both, because using Photoshop on my laptop is like finger-painting! It is weird and exciting.

Anyway, I have been having a pretty shitty week, if we are going to get right down to it. My aunt was here last weekend, which was pretty awesome, but everything since then has just been the worst. I decided to drop my Chaucer class, which is just... ugh. It's not just the work, but like... every time I walk in there, I'm miserable. I'm nervous, I want to throw up, and all I can think about is lying down on the floor behind all the desks and hiding. I can't deal with it, I can't deal with being unhappy all the time anymore. I am having a hard time in my other classes, but at least I enjoy them! I know this isn't the ideal solution, it pretty much sucks, but I don't really think I have any other options. I think I am finally going to suck it up and go to the University Counseling Center, because I am just a fucking wreck all the time, and... yeah. It would be nice not to be. I don't know.

WHATEVER. I just watched The House Bunny, and I fucking loved it, so suck on that.

1. I am listening to Party in the USA. NO SHAME.

2. I managed to convince myself for about half an hour today that I had swine flu because I was really tired? I think I am basically just overexhausted from school and work though. I'm trying to... not let that happen, I guess. I realized the other night that basically all I remember from last November/December is being really sad and tired and stressed out all the time. Like, my mom referenced someone who came to Thanksgiving at our house last year and I thought really long about it, and all I could remember was crying in the bathroom. All night, I don't remember a single other thing. I don't want to let myself get there again.

3. ( ANYWAY LET'S TALK ABOUT THE OFFICE YOU GUYS )

Also why do I not have any Office icons. That is just wrong.

Of everything from the old computer, pretty much the only thing I wasn't able to transfer were my bookmarks! That's what I get for not backing them up on del.icio.us, I guess. I've managed to do everything important from memory, but now I need more things to entertain me! So, what are you favorite websites, please? Fashion shit, funny blogs, good time-wasters, useful information, webcomics, etc etc! I am bored all the time and cannot deal with only having so few things to distract me.

PS I also lost all my playlists on itunes which is MAD ANNOYING. I put everything into playlists, and now I have to go through everything and re-do them. AUGH.

I have not even been home for an hour, and there is pretty much zero chance of my ever going to sleep so I guess I am ljing? Rad. I had to close tonight, which was supposed to mean 11:00 (god I hate grand-opening sales), but actually meant like... 11:40. We have some giant visit tomorrow apparently (we have had mad visits recently, I do not know what is up with that), and so Julie was going crazy, and I didn't want to ask if I could actually leave at 11, which meant that I ended up cleaning and sizing like all of maternity? I dunno, guys. I am also pretty pissed off because this was the only day this week that I work. I kind of am like, whatever, keep your fucking mouth shut because not working is the bomb, but I would also like money please. DILEMMA.

In case you wanted an update on my sprained ankle, here it is: PAIN ALL THE TIME. It is not crazy swollen anymore, which is good, but it hurts like fucking balls. I am tired of wearing sneakers and having to go out of my way to find elevators. Everthing is the fucking worst sometimes.

PS we got the imac back yesterday EXCEPT NONE OF MY STUFF WAS ON IT. So that was awesome. None of my dad's stuff was there either! Our guy is pretty positive that he can recover it, and I really hope so. Can I tell you the thing I am most nervous about losing? It is pretty embarrassing. Every year since 2005 I have kept a copy of every book I've read, and I don't have another copy of the 2009 one anywhere (the other are all online), and the idea of losing it seriously makes me very very nervous. It is like losing an entire half of a year! I can't deal with this! I am going to have to start writing these things down or using Goodreads or something. Uuuuugh.

I am about 99% certain that my computer is named Bobby Fischer. Don't judge me.

Ummmmm what else? ( OH GLEE WAS ON LAST NIGHT ).

I missed all Thursday night tv, which is sadface. My feet hurt so goddamn bad right now, did I mention that? I want to just chop them off.

UGH I HAVE TO GET UP SO EARLY TOMORROW. Someone please talk with me about the significance of Rachel and April singing Maybe This Time, because MAN GLEE YOU ARE THE BEST. I just watched Cabaret last Friday when all I could do was lie on the couch and whine about my ankle so I am way into this happening on my tv.
Also we can talk about when Cheno sings "so nobody loves me" the second time because it's pretty much the best. Also Lea's "happen sometime" right after that.

Hello! Right now I have a short paper for my detective fiction class to write, and it is truly horrible, as it has been quite a while since I've had to write an English essay. Also I am not entirely sure what I am writing about? Kind of making it up as I go.

So! A lot of important things have happened since last time I updated! Well, not a lot. Two. Here they are.

1. On Friday, I fell down half a flight of stairs and sprained my ankle on the way to a class that ended up being canceled. I have been pretty much miserable since? I can walk, but it hurts and is still really swollen. I guess I am lucky that I didn't break it, but it still really fucking sucks. I am already tired of having to wear a brace 24/7.

2. I GOT MY NEW COMPUTER. What's up! I'm pretty much in love with it. I'm still getting used to everything, but man, it is so awesome to be able to use a computer that isn't a total piece of shit, you know? Aaaaand I found out today that our awesome computer repair guy is going to be able to save the imac, which means I can transfer all my shit onto here! I have not given it a name yet because the only thing I can come up with is Bobby Fischer, which I think is just too much, even for me.

In tv news, Heroes was surprisingly good tonight, though I don't really care to go into detail. I forgot that I like Sylar when he isn't being totally awful.

Ok, so I actually have a good excuse for not ljing for a week this time, I promise! My computer (the imac) is, once again, fucking broken. Like, will not turn on. We've taken it to get fixed, but for now I am stuck sharing my mom's laptop, which is actually is her work computer, which means that she usually has it with her during the day.

The upside to all of this is thaaaaaaaaat I ORDERED MY MACBOOK. I didn't want to have to go to Best Buy or whatever and have the guy try to upsell me, so I did it online, which sucks because it's not supposed to get here until Monday. I am so excited though! I'm sure I will be totally obnoxious and post a ton of pictures and shit.

Anyway, the real reason I opened this tab up is because of ( GLEE )

( oh, and Heroes was on too )

Currently watching: True Life: The True Adventures of True Life: 200th Episode. AWESOME. I have a book to finish reading by tomorrow, but I don't think I care.

Oh, PS I have a fucking cold and am miserable. Everything is just the worst sometimes, you know?
