Another Irish Drinking Song

I dropped my laptop off at tech support today, resisting the urge to scream THE THING YOU DID THREE DAYS AGO TO TRY TO FIX IT ONLY MADE IT WORSE, YOU JACKHEADS XOOOOO

But I didn't, because that would be assy.

Quick bites:

~Trying out for our chamber choir once my director sends me an email, eee~
~I went around hiatusing at all my games two nights ago. :CCC It made me sad.
~Got one of my friends to start reading Naruto! THIS IS HUGE BECAUSE I HAVE FOUND NO NARUTARDS ON THE ENTIRE CAMPUS AND THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR ME ON FRIDAY MORNINGS. She has not been spoiled for anything at all in the series. aaaa this is going to be so awesome. So far, she's read up to the end of the Valley of the End, and her favorite character is Hinata. I feel kind of bad for her in that respect. |D D|
~Been so sad and bored without interwebs. This fact makes me kind of hate myself. Been writing fanfiction in a notebook to relieve it. Will post soon.
~My roommate is driving me crazy again. That took...about three days.


Also, I read the Naruto and Bleach chapters!

( No one cares, Random )

And, now I'm finding great research sources for my sociology paper after kicking the crap out of my presentation this morning! THE LIBRARY IS A BEAUTIFUL THING!

I might make a less real-lifey post later tonight, probably about RP. MAYBE I WILL STOP SPAMMING YOU GUYS SOMEDAY.

Randomly, I want to ask if it's bad that I tried to read Soul Eater over the summer, and it just. Did little to nothing for me? It's not that I found it bad--in fact, I found it pretty damn good. I just...I judge my real gut reactions to manga based on how I think about them when I am not reading them at that exact moment in time. If I walk away and thoughts on character development and fanart ravage my brain, I know I hit gold. And Soul Eater...I walked away and forgot I'd even tried. :/ And that's it, I guess. I might finish it over another break when I'm home with free time, but... *shrugs* I don't know.

It's possible that having a friendslist full of people who absolutely love it worked against me, as I expected IMMEDIATE BRAIN-GRABBY and was disappointed. I know I've built up series for friends to the point that I made their expectations too unrealistic when they finally saw/read it. It happens.

...*sigh* I guess I'm afraid of finding out I have terrible taste...


IN OTHER NEWS. I broke my first college milestone this Sunday night... >.> <.< (^^) /random emoticons

In other other news, my Ruby got accepted at squarewarts *DANCES DANCES DANCES* WE NEED A SAPPHIRE, CALLING FOR SAPPHIRES PRZ I also made two icons for that journal by coloring scans! I felt really accomplished because they turned out better than I expected (though, compared to real icons, still pretty crappy |D BUT I LOVE THEM).

I need to stop playing Katamari Damacy and do something productive :/

My miserable 8:30 am economics-class-disguised-as-a-Japanese-culture-course was cancelled this morning due to my teacher getting sick! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY 8D 8D

and then I went back to bed for three hours until my next class, lol.


Today has been a good day.

I think I'll just make a random babbly post again! YAAAAAAAAY

I woke up too late this morning to eat breakfast before my CORE Japan class, which is supposed to be about culture and stuff but is actually an econ course in disguise THANKS PROFESSOR KATO >O all the other CORE Japan classes are reading The Tale of Genji and talking about bushido and the Heian period while I am looking at charts s-sob TT__TT So I ate an orange after class let out, which was around 9:45, but it was a little green and now my tummy hurts for some reason. :C YOU WOULD THINK I WOULD BE MUCH MORE EMO ABOUT TODAY, BUT I'VE BEEN SURPRISINGLY MELLOW ABOUT EVERYTHING.

Which is funny, considering all the entries around both my senior and junior years of high school at this time are full of WANGST and EMUUUUU and general fail whining. Perhaps my vow about a month ago to not let anything Masashi Kishimoto does bother me anymore has broadened and expanded to all walks of life? I HAVE ACHIEVED ZEN THROUGH CRAPPY MANGA 8D and capslock, too.

Polanskigate is full of fail, but other people have expressed their rage far better than I ever could. My problem is, I can at times be extremely eloquent, and at other times be extremely angry, but I can rarely be extremely eloquent while I'm angry. D| So either I look like some cold dispassionate person who doesn't really care, or a SPITTING FOAMING BALL OF RAAAAABIES. I can't win. I also feel kind of awkward and bad because this whole stupid story came out a day after I started writing that huge M-rated fic mentioned in an earlier post, and I'm starting to feel uncomfortable writing it because like I don't know, it's just weird to be really angry about Polanski and then write something involving dark themes that are similar and I feel kind of bad about it. But at the same time, I haven't written this much this fast since...um, a long time. WHY DO I FAIL AT BEING A NORMAL HUMAN BEEEEING SOB *forks self in head* fine, I'm going to hell, whatever.

I wanna get a DS and play 358/2 Daysssss~~ Kingdom Hearts, I miss you. ;_; (Is there a Riku portion of the game? Is there? Please? *WANTS*)

It's so cold here nowadays. D| It also has rained on/off nonstop for FIVE DAYS. graaaaah upstate New York D| D| D|

/fails to conclude post in a snappy, concise manner

Urgg, I hate when I stay up too late one night, feel fine the next day, then get eight hours of sleep that night and spend the next day feeling tired and sluggish. Especially when I had plenty of opportunity to nap during the previous day, but have no such opportunities on the day that I actually get tired. >_< and I know it's my body catching up on REM, so no one has to explain it to me, I'm just commenting that I hate it.

I joined the Anime Club here! (in addition to 247 other organizations on campus that I will probably not be able to attend all the time) Our first meeting is Friday. I'm really excited.

Speaking of, THE NARUTO CHAPTER CAME OUT EARLY THIS WEEK, HAPPY TIME~

( There is a sliding scale of nostalgia in effect here. )

The tragic irony is that I just half-slept through my morning CORE Japan class and econ-realted lecture, and came to the library and wasted all that brainpower dissecting Naruto 464. PRIORITIES: I HAS THEM.

First order of business:

say that you love me

Because we all need some lovin'. :D

Second order of business: COLLEGE THINGS!

So on Monday I woke up five minutes before my first class. D: That was pretty awful. My floor has gotten a tiny bit better in terms of not being puked on every night, but that could be because it's the middle of the week now. The weekend has never looked so uninviting. -_-

( Some fail emo about chorus )


I am starting to love tofu. :D

Tell me about your week, fellow Interwebbers!

So I totally looked like an idiot when I powerwalked/half-ran into town from campus in under ten minutes, believing that I was going to be late for a scholarship event, and found out that the event had been canceled, according to the nice lady in the restaurant. And then as I slowly, miserably, and dejectedly began to make my way back to campus, I called my (awesome) roommate to tell her that I would be late getting back, forgetting that she and I were in the same scholarship organization and that she of all people would know about events, and she told me it had been moved to a building on-campus.

:|

So I again powerwalked/half-ran back to campus, to burst in the door at exactly the meeting time (thank god that they changed the time when they moved the event). I then proceeded to guilt trip the guy who told me about the event and gave me the wrong place/time in the first place, we laughed at me, and I ate Ben & Jerry's ice cream to make myself feel better. It all ended up working out okay.

Also true story within this true story: Yesterday was August 31st, and on my way back to campus, it was so cold I could see my breath. Oh, upstate New York...

So how are you all doing? My laptop is still being very stupid, and so I am definitely taking it to Tech Support after my 1:20 class (no excuses!) and seeing about the wireless, as well as inquiring about getting an Ethernet cord to jack straight into the phone line. That would probably be better for me in terms of getting Interwebz in my room, at least, especially since I have received information that our student wireless is slow anyway. Sigh.

I'm starting to get a good sense of my schedule. It is packed. I may have to start cutting back on Internet time, and that may mean dropping an RP. D:

In other news, I am learning to like coffee. And vegan food. :D Beans are freaking delicious and healthy. I'm not saying I'm going to go vegetarian, but I do plan to start incorporating much more plant food into my diet. We have great organic options in the dining hall.

I tried out for the university chorus! The music director loved me--secretly, I wondered how good the choral program could be, because my sight reading was a little wonky and my voice was totally dehydrated, and we were still discussing my chances of getting into the chamber choir (elite). Then I wondered if that was just my bad self-esteem, since we have a large and active choral program here and a lot of great independent a capella groups as well, and maybe I am just that good. I've never considered myself to be "just that good" because I've always been behind the amazing and fantastic people from my high school who are going to be music majors and do all sorts of amazing things. IDK. [/self-deprecating prattle]

People are great here. I really love it. C:

Time for a mostly non-fandom related update of ME!

I'm kind of supposed to be cleaning my room at this moment, so hush.  I've got hours.  My nana's bringing my little sisters back from the beach, ending my day or so of blissful solitude.  -_-  But things could be worse.  It's FINALLY SUMMER WEATHER HERE, GOD with a few days or so of glorious sunshine and temperatures in the 90s.  Where has this weather been for the past three goddamn months is what I'd like to know.  SUMMER IS SUPPOSED TO BE HOT.  THIS IS A RULE.

I've been getting my textbooks in the mail for a few days now.  I got them all (15 books) for about 250 dollars.  CRAZY AWESOME.  Thank god for Amazon.  And, well, most of them are trade paperbacks for my Tragedies seminar, so.  :D

omg omg omg I start college in a week and a half omg omg omg omg omg

Been running wild at squarewarts  with a new muse and other such shenanigans.  Not so good at kannagara_rpg , though; I feel bad, but lately I've only been able to tag once or twice a night there.  It's an amazing RP, but just... so srs bsns.  It's been getting to the point where I feel emotionally drained after a few rounds of tagging.  I don't know.  But we're coming up on a less hugeomg event, so maybe that'll help me settle down.  This stress may be due in part to the fact that I've been readjusting my sleep habits to prepare for college (where I have an 8:30 am class on Tuesdays and Thursdays) so I haven't been on as late as I used to be, when I got most of my tagging done in weeks past.  IDK.  Now that I've posted about it, I'm hoping having this out here in the public space will motivate me to do a better job!  Better Living Through Confessing Your Failures On Livejournal, that's my motto.

Not much else to say/confess shamefully, so I think I'll go back to cleaning my room!  Peace out~

Time to stop being such a bum and ACTUALLY POST ABOUT MY REAL LIFE HOMG.

Well, the entire past week was spent with me cleaning every inch of my house in preparation for my Big Grad Bash on Saturday.  And by me cleaning, I mean my family cleaning and me making small contributions but mostly RPing.  *fails, is a bum*

Saturday: EVERY MEMBER OF MY ENTIRE REALLY BIG FAMILY COMES TO MY HOUSE.  We rented a tent and a Port-A-John and a keg of Coors Light (for the adults, ahaha) and everything.  Luckily, I got to invite my buddies and have fun that way.  Unluckily, it pretty much rained about half the time and we never got to roast marshmallows like I wanted to.  Then we went to my basement and played Guitar Hero after everyone left and then we fell asleep stayed up until 5:30 (unless you were chocomarauder, in which case you fell asleep).

Sunday: Everyone went home, I took chocomarauder  to church with me, and the we rested for two hours before piling into the car to go to EB's house (one of my friends who was at my party on Sat.) for HER graduation party.  XD  Hers was more fun, because it was gorgeous all day and we had a Slip'N'Slide (hence the grass) and we got to roast marshmallows and run around the woods and roll down her hill until we failed to tumble forward correctly and slammed into the ground on our right kidney and believed for a full thirty seconds that we had been paralyzed from the waist down.  Well, that last part was just me.  Also, lots and lots of cake.  Ughghlgh I am going to be fat.

AND ALSO MY MOM AND SISTERS WENT TO SLEEPAWAY BASKETBALL CAMP AND I AM FREEE~ OF THEM FOR THE WEEK :DDD

Monday: Spent morning in pajamas while coloring in coloring books and watching Spongebob with EB and chocomarauder , no lie.  Went home, walked dog, spent a nice afternoon/evening hanging out with my daddy.

Today: Finally sent in course paperwork for college (!!!!!!!!!!) after a grueling four hours of squalling infants, wailing toddlers, and ringing phones.  It's a good thing I love books so much.

IN OTHER NEWS: I GOT MY HOUSING ASSIGNMENT!!!

I was one of the lucky few people to get a four-person suite on the first floor in my hall!!!  But that's not the best part!  I managed to contact my roommate via Facebook last night.  She's from South Korea!  SO COOL!  And she seems really friendly and I am totally excited, eeeee~

AND TONIGHT!  HARRY POTTER MIDNIGHT SHOWING!
