I did NOT mean to post that last post! I wasn't... Even if I was I wasn't done. But I pressed on accident (on my iPhone, stupid touchscreen) and I can't fix it right now. Sorry for littering your friends page with posts!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone (living in the U.S.)!

So I finished the first three books now. I actually finished days ago but I haven't posted haha. Still obsessed, and I like Murlough twenty times better in the book. I like Debbie better than Rebecca, too; not that I really have anything against Rebecca. I don't think it would be wise for me to go over the book again. I'm becoming dangerously obsessed. Must get the next book!

I feel like I woke up one day and it was suddenly Fall. The trees turned and the breeze chilled and the sky is that perfect bright blue you only see inthe early days of autumn. Except it's not early autumn; it's nearly winter. Global warming? It's nice, anyway.

I'm supposed to be going to Vegas again this Saturday. My mom and I are taking my girlfriend's mom for her birthday. I don't know how I'm going to deal with this because my girlfriend is pissed at me. I don't even know why! I mean, I was supposed to help her pick classes to college (why exactly can she not try to figure it out on her own, or ask a councelor like normal people?). I told her I would before my first class, but I got sick and missed all my classes. She called and asked if I was still coming and I said no, and she hung up on me. I realize that her feelings were hurt but I couldn't move off of the couch so how could I call her? I was asleep, sick as a dog. I've apologized. I've apologized and she cried and I apologized some more and more than I needed to and she just won't drop it! She's always been moody, I can usually deal with that but by god if she doesn't stop griping about this I'm going to strangle her. She was at my house for two days and she hardly spoke to me!!

So my girl and I are texting a game: we each choose a movie that we've both seen, and then pick a character from the other person's movie to make a crack pairing. Anyway we ended up with Constantine and Gamer; Chaz and Simon. I'm never going to be able to let this go! They would be great together. They'd get to be amazing snarky teen assholes and piss of Tillman and Constantine (who could kick serious demon ass together, btw) and munch on licorice. And for some reason, Gabriel and the Geek Leader dude... they keep popping up together! I think they'd be unbearably cute together, I have no clue why...

On another note: classes. Finished my essay, and it's not perfect but at least it's on time and as long as it's supposed to be, which is more than I can say for the last one. Pretty much bs-ed in three or so hours time, tops. I didn't have time to do the presentation thingy, so it was a blessing that I DIDN'T HAVE TO PRESENT TODAY! :happy dance: We got assigned another essay, but I get to write about Loki if I want. Hermes keeps trying to distract me. Maybe I'll do the "compare two gods" essay instead of the "analyze your favorite god" essay...? We'll see. And I had my second exam in Sociology today. Damn. I sure hope I passed, but I think I did. I actually was pretty confident about most of my answers, went over them again and checked and everything. Again, we'll see.

My back is hurting so I'm off to bed, I suppose. Maybe I'll blog again tomorrow. Maybe not. IDK. Kinda getting back into the swing of this, though, now that school is winding down (finally!)

9:48 on the day of class, and I have three sentences of a thousand word essay due today, and I haven't started on my presentation. I got four and a half hours sleep, which is pretty good. The past week has been beyond shitty. I might have a test today that I haven't studied for at all and I completely bombed the last one- my grade hinges on passing this one with at least a c+. My house is a mess. One of my biggest projects is due next week and I haven't started it, not to mention anything to do with my honors projects. I'm going to be eighteen in less than five days, and I'll start a completely new era of my life with my world in total disarray. I still only have three sentences of an essay. And I'm blogging.

Yup, I'm certifiable.

You can all uncover your eyes now, those who read my last post. I've stopped being weird and overly-angstful. I might play very well into a lot of teen drama cliches, but I'll be damned if I write about them all the time on lj.

Anyway. Reading Terry Pratchett's "The Truth" again, which I love. And I bought "Monstrous Regiment", which I reread immediately because it always makes me squeeful inside. :sigh: And I read "Small Gods", which I hadn't gotten to before but loved and can be blamed for my bad and angstful behavior. Nothing like a book on religion and the death of gods to make you spill your guts in a blog, I suppose.

In any case... I want yaoi for it. Am I the only one? 'Cuz sometimes I wonder. Does anyone else want to see Om/Brutha? Vorbis/Brutha? Om/Brutha/Vorbis? I feel slightly better because it's not like I want some viciously descriptive fanfiction or overly-detailed fanart of a god, a melon grower/prophet, and a... a Vorbis. (I don't even know what would be an accurate adjective to describe Vorbis. Those who've read the book may understand.) I just want something simple, except I specifically want to see the pairing(s). I'm afraid to look. I know it won't be there, and that makes me sad. :( But if anyone's seen any...! :waggles eyebrows meaningfully: Or has even read the book. Or any Discworld novel... And if you haven't, you should!

Notes for this post: I'm sure you're all wondering (not) why I always say "yaoi" instead of slash, m/m, shounen-ai, etc. It's because my mom knows what slash is (I use that second-most often) and not yaoi. So when I speak with my friends, I say "yaoi." Also, because I am more anime-oriented in life and more book-oriented online, but the anime terms are catchy and short and stick in the mind. I try to keep it short here, short enough to not need an lj cut, and I try not to litter people's friend pages. I hope I have succeeded in this., y

A text I sent to my girlfriend a few minutes ago. I have left the txttlk, it's written exactly the same. It's not too bad though. If anyone wonders, I just started thinking about some things she said. She wants me to be more open, and make her feel special. It... confuses me, to say the least. I don't know why I want to post it, but probably because I'll more than likely never say any of the things I talk about. So I suppose I need to say this at least:

( Read on, if you wish. Beware bad grammar. And some emo-ness. )

First, I had said I have new cousins. Well, the day my cousin went into labor was the day an older cousin died in New York. Louella apparently decided that nobody was being born until she was laid to rest, and so today at 11am Eastern time, Louella was buried. At 11am Western time, Bryce and Blake were born. I'm sad at the passing of a beloved family elder, and I rejoice at the blessing of new life (though really, these are Kids #6 and 7, you gotta stop Dana!).

( My name is Leeeeeeeeeeeegiooon. For we are... -MAAAAAAAANNYYYYYY. )

Pro- I got into the classes I wanted, and they're awesome.

Con- The honors classes are closed and I can't get in this year.

Pro- I got a netbook.

Con- Rachel has gone crazy. She won't go to the doctor, she stopped taking calls... Don't really know if she even has cancer. Not that I want her to have cancer, but imagine if she lied... She's been lying about everything else...

Pro- My cousin Dana is giving birth today. Twins.

Con- My cousin Louella died today.

PRO- I SAW ICE AGE 3. <333333 BUCK!

There's really no con to that! I end this post on a happy thought. Yay.

Please pray for my oldest sister. She was just diagnosed with ovarian cancer. She is far too young to die, and she has three young children to live for.

I had this feeling, before I found out. I think the phrase "someone walked over my grave" describes it perfectly. And the only other times I had this feeling, I was told an hour or two later that someone close to me had died unexpectedly. I am, quite frankly, worried sick.

So I'm finally home again. Boy I miss lj! I'm going to try and post more often now that I'm home. I have a month before school starts and if my financial aid would go through then I could buy my books, but meh. I'll worry about that later. I... have nothing interesting to report! The most fun I've had this past week was watching Night at the Museum II (loved it) and buying a bunch of new crayons and colored pencils and markers and coloring stuff.

If anything interesting happens I'll post. Life is currently boring.

JON AND GLORIA ARE FINALLY MARRIED!!!!!!!!

( Not that you have a clue who they are, but click if you'd like to find out. )

Kris Allen just won American Idol. Adam Lambert deserved that spot. I won't begrudge Kris his accomplishment but DAMN! And I know it's only because everyone thinks Adam is gay. It really shouldn't matter, and it makes me sad that something so... superfluous can stand in the way of greatness. However, Adam is still amazing and I'm sure he'll go far. Good luck to all of our Idols tonight.

Well, first, because they're just learning. They're over confidant and daring, and they think they know what they're doing when they don't. Or, overly cautious and jerky, nervous in their actions. Also, they try to impress people. Whoever they're driving with, friends or family or instructor, is there to be impressed by how well they handle the car. And they expect too much out of themselves. No one wants to be the statistic, and the whole world is pushing them to drive right. Learning to drive sucks.

I should know. I'm on a learner's permit. :P

Soooo. Yet another movie I spent mostly making fun of. But I liked it, I really did! I made fun of Nite Owl II especially. Great guy, that one. :3 So anyway, yea. It could have been great, really great if they had done it as a miniseries like Terry Gilliam apparently suggested, but instead it was just pretty good. Also, what's with the ten million sex scenes? What did they have to turn it into a porno for, I mean, my mom was in that theater! I managed to look at Dr. Manhattan the whole frickin time, but I covered my face with my hat when people started going at it. Frickin rabbits. I had my problems with the movie, but it also had it's "omg that is so amazingly awesome do that again!" parts, so I came out happy. And Rorschach. Oh gawd Rorschach. Ever since I got home last night, I've done pretty much nothing but read Watchmen fanfic with him in it, even in class. Jeezus. I absolutely love him and Nite Owl/Rorschach is canon. No really I just know it.

Also, did anyone catch "Glee" on Fox tonight? I kinda love it now, can't wait for summer shows to start up. And Adam had better win American Idol tomorrow!

Ugh. K bed nao bai.

Mm. Hi all.

Sooo I've not updated for a long time. I've basically banned myself temporarily from LJ, if anyone was wondering. Reason: too addicted. It was becoming unhealthy and I've already got enough stuff I use to procrastinate with. Adding something as engaging as LJ will end with me flunking out of college. SO I took a hiatus. I made one amendment and one only - I looked up a Disney slash comm and joined. My brain randomly decided to obsess over Kocoum/Thomas from Pocahontas, plus I discovered Phineas and Ferb, and I needed to see if there was anyone else as crazy as I am. However, school is nearly over and I am hoping to get back into the swing of things. Gawd I've missed LJ, even if nobody's missed me. Especially the Tin Man fandom! Never met nicer people...

( Anyway, updates! )

I knew it. Thursday the 12th sucks badly for me. Examples - Water Aerobics class. I am not very fit, my legs are now killing me, and once I got out I grew icicles waiting to get picked up. Also - my cousin Chris came early. We cleaned like mad, then had to take care of his baby. Michelle is cute, though.

Now, Friday the 13th... Rocks. Chris is being mysteriously kind and pimped my iPhone, so now it is unbelievably awe-inspiring and wondrous. Erin took her daughter and went to visit her dad - W00t! And now, it's SNOWING. I've been wanting it to snow for five years! Every time it snows, I'm out of town, but this time I can see it coming down in my backyard. Everything is turning white and I am in a state of bliss.

No one ever believes me when I say this is my lucky day, but it's true. Oooh, and my mom got paid so I'm going to go grocery shopping for V-day. Imma make pancakes!
