Instead of looking all over the place in order to get a whiff of where on earth the groups and such are hiding.

Just a thought.

276 deviations when I logged in today! You guys are really cranking them out. That's nuts. Congrats to you guys.

Though, most of them are from the dAknitters and the novelist club that I watch, but still...wow.

I'll have to comb through all of that when I am awake enough to appreciate all the hard work. I really am curious about a hat that I saw on dAknitters. It was really cute.

Not that I need more craft projects in my life.

That reminds me, I started a black w/ rainbow thread scarf. I'll post a WIP photo when I can. I think it's turning out really cool so far. If anyone wants it, let me know. I'm more than willing to give it to those that want it.

That's right. The girl that has no time is going to write 50,000 words in 30 days. Damn right.

Yeah... see you all in December!

Things have been interesting to say the least. I know it's only been a week but it feels like I never left... in the worst sense of that phrase.

So, yeah, things are going to start picking up and I've been slacking.

I should update my picture of my purple scarf. I finished it about a week ago.

I have been working on a story. Although, it's mostly only going to be posted on the DBCA for now. I'll probably post it on here and on fanfiction.net when I have more chapters written.

Hopefully I will be able to write something over the summer that you guys like. I have been trying to write some fan fiction as a warm up but it isn't really going well. Blaaaah, it's probably just because I don't really want to write fan fiction that much anymore.

The strange part is, I have been reading a HUGE amount since I've gotten out. I've been out for little over a week and I'm on my fifth book. It's kind of record for me.

So, hopefully everyone is well. Drop me a line.

What?

Just wanted to let you all know that I'm still alive although I am being swamped with a lot of different papers to do for different subjects.

As I type this I am supposed to be working on this essay for my 20th Century Europe class about how the different ideologies of the Spanish Civil War affected how the war was fought. It's only supposed to be two pages and I have a feeling that I'm going to be doing the paper completely wrong. Sadness. Oh well. I have a feeling that this class is going to be another pain in my ass.

Then after that paper is over I have a mountain of Spanish that I need to do for Tues. which is going to be interesting.

Also: I'M GOING TO SEE AVENUE Q ON THURSDAY!! I'm so excited!

So that means that I need to do a lot of work so that I can just leave on Thursday and have everything ready for my TEST in Psychology on Friday. Yeah, good times.

Well, I guess I'll just end this and get back to my essay so that I can get some Spanish accomplished tonight.

First off, I would like to tell you all that I haven't been on because I have 6 classes this semster, on top of my on campus job, Student Conduct Board, my heart has been broken by a boy that I got to emotionally attached to even though I KNEW that it wasn't going to work out between us, and I have been hanging out with a lot of friends in order to forget about said boy and classes.

Lost has officially become my drug. The world will STOP at 9pm on Thursday so I can watch it. I mean it, I stopped my INTENSE studying for a Psychology test in order to watch Lost.

Well, I hope everyone is okay. I will hopefully talk to you all later!

I feel that through out my vacation I did practically nothing productive. I worked on a cross-stitch, worked on a baby blanket, and worked on an outline to a new story idea.

The story outline is taking me forever to write because it's very personal and sometimes borderline painful to write. But I will write it because it has a great message to it. I won't say what it is yet, because I want to have some surprises for you guys.

So a new story idea means an updated Writing List! Excitement all around.

New Writing List
Raining Tears Sequel
Elftek idea?
"Glöm mig om du kan" (Forget Me If You Can) one-shot
Muse Insanity 2?
Darkest Symphony
Trapped in Handcuffs
Scrubs Idea? (My Panoramic View)
The Demon Car (it's new and there is such a back story as to how I got the idea)
Slytherin idea (God help me but I like the idea)

'Course I'm happy now but give it until about the 30th, I'll want to go back to see everyone.

But honestly, right now, I think that would be a bad idea. This vacation is sort of a re-creation period. I need to re-create myself. I already got a haircut. I'm planning on going back to church (starting this Sunday), reading more, writing more, etc.

...and I think three weeks away from certain people will do me a lot of good.

I need to find my backbone over vacation, that would be amazing too.

It has been one hell of week. From the unbelievably bad to the outrageously awesome I dare to believe it's real.

What the hell am I talking about? I can't discuss here even though I trust all the people that watch me but I just can't. Promises and stuff like that, you understand.

So, just letting people know I do still live and breathe. Laters!

I went to the Quad to celebrate. There were tons of people! It. Was. Awesome. Screaming, rally cries, cheers, crowd surfing, fireworks (which are illegal in MA, by the way), spraying beer, cameras, video cameras, a movie screen where we could watch the after game stuff on the Quad (to find out MVP, stuff like that). It was a good time.

So, yes. The Red Sox won. I would hate to be in UMass Amherst or Boston right now. They are still going crazy.

I'm excited. I'm tired. So I'm going to try to get some sleep.

WE WON!!! *jumps up and down insanely*

College does that to people. I didn't really think you guys would like my papers on Jewish History, Medieval History, or World Lit II. They aren't that interesting. I got pretty bored writing them.

And I should be doing my Medieval History paper now but as you can see... I'm not and it's due tomorrow.

*hits panic button* Ahmyfreakin'godI'mgoingtodie!

I feel better now.

At least I have my classes for next semester picked out. Now the trick will be getting into them. Oy.

Well, time to write more of my paper. I'm now more than half way done and then I get to send it to my friend who will tear it apart. Yay!

]]> ~missdusk http://missdusk.deviantart.com/journal/15114088/ http://missdusk.deviantart.com/journal/15114088/ Thu, 18 Oct 2007 11:07:26 PDT I had to.

But honestly, if you ever get the chance, donate blood. Don't let your fear of needles get you down! You don't even see the needle when they stick you with it. Honestly, it was a piece of cake.

I donated for the first time yesterday and I couldn't have been more proud of myself. See, I wanted to do it in high school but I wasn't old enough even senior year. Then I got to college and I freaked myself out about donating. I just couldn't do it last year. It wasn't the needles it was the amount of people that just looked so sick after doing it. This year, I told myself I could do it... and I did. I all but jumped off the table and call my mom to tell her I did it. Even at that, I called her at 5 at night and left a message all but singing about it.

I know, I'm a geek but I like to do good things and last year it was really something to see the older people come in and say, "I've been doing this ever since I was 18..."

I was surprised that only one person nearly fainted the whole day. He was a tall skinny guy so that is why it affected him so badly. When they stand up it takes a little longer for the blood to get to the head, so he was really close to fainting and stuff. (*cough* A little lesson that I feel the need to spout off)

I saw him later that day and he looked fine.

Now, I just need to figure out how I'm going to do two papers, a journal, and read two stories all by tomorrow morning. Anyone got ideas? I know the papers and journal have to get done. I can fluff reading and stuff.

I'll see you later!

Then I watched Top Chef and was rather annoyed that Hung had won the whole thing. I dunno, it just didn't seem right. Oh well, there is always next season... if only they could bring CJ back to try again. He was the one I was gunning for the entire time then... the broccoli happened. If you've watched the show you know what I'm talking about, if you haven't... well, yeah, it was bad. Let's just say that.

So, I dunno I was kind of tied between Casey and Dale. I like them both. 'Course there was one shot of Dale where I seriously wanted to hug him, he looked so adorable. Yes, I know that he's gay. Whoop-de-freakin-da. That doesn't mean I can't call him cute or adorable.

Anyway, tonight I need to write article reviews about two websites for Health & Fitness class about muscular fitness. It's going to be really boring and I hope that she just wants like a paragraph for each because honestly, that's probably all she is going to get.

Tomorrow, I am going to go work out with a girl from my H&F class. Woot! Finally! She and I don't really know each other but I'm sure that this will work out. You know? I just told her that I don't really like going by myself. I have a feeling that I might stop into the gym tonight and see if it's really as dead as she says and start my muscle training.

I know, a few of you that know me are probably going, " Is she actually talking about going to the gym?" Yes, yes I am. It's considered homework to go to the gym for this class and I haven't really been doing that ever since the beginning of this class... so, it's time to get serious.

Besides, I always wanted to get into a better physical condition, now that I have to, I really should just grit my teeth and do it. But, it's always just that starting bump that drives me crazy. Hopefully, I can get a more set schedule with her than my cousin. That just isn't working (obviously).

I dunno, I really like that tight feeling in my muscles after a work-out, it just feels really good, you know? Or maybe I'm just denying being a masochist... I dunno.

Hopefully tomorrow I can go to my high school's football game. Then on Saturday I have to go to my church's Fall Festival. On Sunday, I'm really, really, REALLY hoping that my friend and I can finally go to Chinatown. She wants to take me to this really good Korean restaurant and I want to explore to see if I can find some really nice Chinese slippers. Yes, I want a pair, dammit.

I've been thinking of going back to school early but at the same time I just kind of want to stay at home and sleep in my own bed. Buuut, I've been thinking that if I come back I can see about hanging with boy crush wonder that I mentioned earlier. Boy Crush Wonder...? Oh yeah, I've cracked.

Anywhoozles, that is a mystery for another day I think. I need to get working on stuff such as getting my act together so I can go to work soon. Lame. I know.

Laters.

Everyday, I get up at about 8 or 9am and go to breakfast. Then I go to whatever class(es) I have that day, go to work, go to a meeting (sometimes), go eat dinner, and then fudge through my homework.

I am losing my mind.

Tomorrow, I am going to go to an interview to be a US History tutor. On top of working at the Volunteer Center, Falcon Players, and classes. I'm insane... but I do get paid for being a tutor...

I have been thinking of not going to Falcon Players meetings anymore but I feel bad because I really want to get involved. I already promised that I would help with consessions and costume design for two different plays.

If worse comes to worse I can just quit the Volunteer Center or tell the US History tutor people that I can't take the job. Stress is indeed going to kill me.

Even as I type this I should be reading about 50 pages for Jewish History so I can write two pages for my paper that is due in a few weeks. I have read 7 pages and I have written one page of my opinion paper. So, I think I should be done soon.

I also need to start reading a book for another paper that I need to write that is due at the end of the month.

I honestly can say that I am looking forward to the four day weekend that is coming up. I am hoping that I will go to a football game on Friday, go to a fall festival on Saturaday, and go to Chinatown on Sunday. Hopefully, I can get a pair of nice Chinese slippers.

Alrighty, I think I'm done.

Anyway, in about 45 minutes I will be leaving here and going to class. I just thought that seeing it's been a week or so, I should update this. Not that anyone really reads it, but that's okay. There are certain things that I feel I can post here that I can't on LJ for fear of friends reading what they shouldn't.

The Inevitable Boy Talk is here! *rolls eyes* Hey, at least I warned you. This time, it's actually about this guy that I LIKE. Not the one that drives me insane. I know, shocking. There is a lot of friendly flirting but the thing that I'm worried about is that he flirts with EVERYONE, and I do mean EVERYONE. So, where does that put me, I don't know, but I'd like to find out. I know that he knows I exist but I'm not 100% sure he knows my name. That should be something that I look into. For the record, yes, I know his name but I'm just telling you.

Last night, I got to talk to my cousin for Texas for a little bit. I feel kind of bad, I ended up talking the whole time. It was ridiculous. She was a good sport about it though. Then I e-mailed my cousin from CA hoping she'll get back to me soon about what to do about plane tickets to CA this December I'm so nervous!

Over the past couple of days I have been suffering from a cold. It's nothing serious, reguardless what Boy Crush up there said when I told him (He faked calling Rescue Squad to freak me out). Oh the fun.

Well, I said that I would rant about stuff in this entry. The only thing that really still stands, is my job. The Volunteer Center is moving under The President. Oh. My. God. But the thing is, everyone in the Vol. Center is Trust Fund. So that means that they could get rid of us whenever they wish because we aren't Work Study. Which means, Trust Fund is getting an honest to God job on campus. So, they could fire us over the tiniest thing, so, all three of us has been careful to do everything, run everything that we do by the highest authority, etc. It sounds a lot worse than it actually is. Didn't mean, to over dramatize it.

Even at that, I got a job offer as a US History tutor last night. I think I might go for it, it pays more and I get more hours, so if this Vol. Center job doesn't work out, I'm covered. Even my mom was like, "You should really go for it!" I don't know when she expects me to do my homework but... whatever. I know the math tutors do their homework all the time in their center there, so why I can't I? Exactly. Jewish History, US History, same difference.

So, I should probably look into that today but my free time is kind of dwindling now... oh well, I have after class and lunch for a little bit. We'll see what magic I can pull off today.

Crap! Time for me to leave! Later everyone! I'll probably edit this or post a new entry if something exciting happens today.

After class I went to lunch. Now I have a half an hour break before I go to work until 3:30. After work, I'm meeting my cousin so she can eat lunch/supper and then we're going to hit the gym. (As part of my Health & Fitness class and me just wanting to get into shape)

I have no idea when I'm going to get back. So, who knows if I'll actually get to read most of my Jewish History textbook. Probably not. I spent 6 hours yesterday trying to figure out what one chapter (only 21 pages) was talking about. I think at about 12:30 I had a revelantion and started reading the chapter over again. So sad.

Oh and did I mention that I'm skipping two meetings in order to do all this? I didn't well, excuse me.

I think I'm going to go mad with all this. I'm only taking four classes too. I think something needs to give. So, I think FAB is going to be a sidenote of a sidenote. Working out is my homework from Health & Fitness. So that has to stay.

The only positive thing I can think of is the fact that I'm going to work so I can get some money... I'll rant about my job later this week.

Things to rant about next time when I'm on-line:
My Job
Homework
The Idiot
I can't wait for the 21st

That should be enough for now.

This year I'm not as anxious even though, I really should be considering the amount of stuff that I need to do this semester. I have all my classes, I am going to get myself into the habit of eating healthier, Volunteer Center Job, Student Conduct Board (it meets only once a week), Activities Board, and the possiblity of getting a job as a cashier at a local grocery store down the street from the college. Whoa, when I spell it out like that, it seems like a lot.

Nevermind the usual, knitting, cross-stitching, reading, writing... oh man, I'm never going to get anything done. I mean, for heaven's sake I'm working on people's Christmas presents NOW. What? It's going to take me a LONG time. I'm insane, insane, insane!

Yeah, so, erm... maybe I should get off of here and do something constructive...

Like make a list of all the gifts I need to make and when I need to get them done by.

Well, seeing that the summer is almost over, let's see how I did on the Summer Writing List:

Raining Tears Sequel
Dracula and Princess Anna Story (Taking Everything)
Prof A and "Me" story (Thank My Lucky Stars)
Elftek idea?
Beth's gift story
POTC one-shot (The Ghost)
"Glöm mig om du kan" (Forget Me If You Can) one-shot
Muse Insanity 2?
Darkest Symphony
Trapped in Handcuffs
Scrubs Idea? (My Panoramic View)
The Demon Car (it's new and there is such a back story as to how I got the idea)
Slytherin idea (God help me but I like the idea)

Hmm, seems I did better than I thought. That's encouraging. Another things before I shut up. I just wanted to give some recognition of some groups that I like to watch.

Groups:

In the end, you need to choose the next 6 people to be tagged and list their names.. Don't forget to leave a comment that says "you're tagged" in their deviant page comments and tell them to read yours.

1. I have an obsessive personality. Seriously, at one point it was Johnny Depp, Jon Stewart, Michael Crawford, knitting, cross-stitch, etc. You get the idea.

2. I have the most f-ed up dreams you can imagine.

3. I like trying to learn different languages. I can say a lot of strange things in several different languages. My most obscure would have to be "husband" in Korean.

4. It took me until I was 17 to get my driver's lisence, I didn't want one for the longest time.

5. I snap my fingers all the time when I'm thinking.

6. I have been trying to make travel accomedations all day for various trips across the country.

I won't tag anyone.

So, what has been going on? Well, I went to my family's reunion, York & Kittery Maine (awesome fun... shopping... @_@), and I got to spend some time with my friend. I also ran into a friend whom I haven't seen for a long time. I missed him so much.

I've been reading a lot this week. I finished Abarat (which you all should read if you like fantasy books) and I'm currently reading a book that is basically what happened after the movie Casablanca ends. So far, it's not too bad. I still think that it's bittersweet but good.

I need to figure out how to read, write, cross-stitch, and knit so effiecently that I can get a lot of it done in a reasonable amount of time. Seriously, so much to do and the list isn't getting smaller!

AAAAHHH!

Okay, I'm done. Really...ta!

Don't really know what to tell y'all.

I haven't been writing, drawing, or taking pictures with my camera. I've been knitting though. I could take pictures of what I've been knitting and upload them if you really want.

I've been trying to work on that freakin' Prof A story but damn it's getting difficult to finish.

In other news, I have been reading a lot. I finished three books this past week. "Good Omens" (FINALLY!), "The Good, The Bad, And the Undead" by Kim Harrison, and "Micah" by Laurell K. Hamilton.

Now I'm on Clive Barker's "Abarat." I'm so excited. I love Clive Barker. If you haven't read, "The Thief of Always" read it. NOW. I command you! @_@ *cough*

And that is all.

Bye.

The people that were dealing with me were all really nice. Even the doctor that made me so frightened of getting the surgery done. I mean, when he was explaining it a week ago, he was rude and stuff. Yesterday he was nice, he even made a joke before I was knocked out.

Then I woke up and was like, "Oh man, it's over? What? You want me to stand?...hang on, that's more of a challenge than I'd like to admit."

Mom brought me home, tried eating something so I could take the first set of pills. Well, pudding and anastheology do not mix. Blegh.

Today went better though, I ate some cottage cheese in the morning. I don't think I'll be doing that again though, that stuff is really gross. I guess eating it plain is just not for me... nope, thinking about it 12 hours later still makes me gag.

But later, mom had something that the smell got me absolutely STARVING which is a first since the operation. So, I ate the rest of the chicken noodle soup I couldn't eat yesterday. It was yummy.

Anyway, now I have been looking up all kinds of stuff on-line. Mostly more knitting patterns. I think I have a vauge idea of what I want to do.

Where is my writing in all of this? Sadly, at the bottom, I have been having a lot of ideas but none of them have been really getting on paper. Which is sad and kind of awful. I'll try writing something short soon. I don't honestly know if it'll work but I need to start making goals for myself or stuff will never get done. You know?

Okay, well, ta! I'll probably be back tomorrow to rant about my stitches that are poking my gums.

]]> ~missdusk http://missdusk.deviantart.com/journal/13819713/ http://missdusk.deviantart.com/journal/13819713/ Sat, 21 Jul 2007 10:49:14 PDT
I mean, I've been reading these books since I've been 11. That's a good portion of my life!

I can't wait for mom to get home so I can take off and get my book. @_@ Must. Read. It. All. In. One. Day.

That way I don't have to put up with accidentally reading a spoiler on-line. I know a few friends who've already come upon a few and they were nearly homicidal.

In other news, I saw "Back to School" today and was a biggest fan girl in the world when Oingo Boingo was on the screen. I couldn't stop myself from screaming, "Oh my god, they're all so cute!!" I mean, come on Danny and Steve are adorable in that movie.

I saw "Sin City" yesterday. Now that was an interesting movie. 19 year old girls falling in love with 68 year old men. It was an eye-opener indeed. It was gorey too, so it's wasn't all ridiculous sex scenes or strange proclamations of love. Fun, fun.

]]> ~missdusk http://missdusk.deviantart.com/journal/13695137/ http://missdusk.deviantart.com/journal/13695137/ Wed, 11 Jul 2007 12:01:07 PDT
So, I'll be in pain. I won't feel like doing much. It better not be as hot as it is now, or I'll be even more uncomfortable.

Then on Aug. 8th I need to have a "filling" put in. They said that it wasn't even big enough to be called a cavitity, they just called it "a spot." A SPOT DOESN'T NEED A FILLING! *calms down* Why am I making such a big deal about this? It's only a filling... but it's my FIRST filling! I feel so guilty, like a failure. Almost 19 years without one and then, it's gone. Tarnished.



But after that whole... thing at the office. My mom and I went to an old book shop in North Hampton. I got a book called, "Abarat" by Cliver Barker, a hardcover copy of "The Maltese Falcon" and "The Hound of Baskervilles", my own copy of "The Crucible" (I LOVE that play), "A Night In Moonbeam County" (mom thought I would like it), and this story called, "The Monk" written in 1796. It was so scandalious that it was an instant success and the Marque de Sade and Lord Bryon admired it. So, I'm kind of excited to read it.

But first, I have to finish, "Intensity" I borrowed it from the library. It is so... for a lack of a much better word, INTENSE. It's one of those, is the killer going to ever find her? Oh my god, he realizes that she's there but he's just playing dumb so that she thinks that she's in control of the situation! Gaaaahh! I'm not anywhere close to the ending either.

Anyway, back to my day, after the book store there, mom and I went to Hadley. We went to Michael's and Barnes and Noble (mostly because I asked mom if I could go to Michael's that was closer to home but she said no because we were going in the opposite direction [travel-wise].). Anyway, Michael's was amazing as usual. I got some size #11 & 15 flat needles and size #15 circular needles. Some yarn for the manly scarf I aim to make. I still need to wait on a certain type of yarn (expensive and possibly problematic if I don't wait).

My friend called me while in Michael's and asked me if I wanted to go see a movie with her later. Of course, I agreed. I haven't seen her in nearly a week. Shut up. A week is forever in our language.

So, we went to Barnes & Noble after. I got three NICE journals for $9, a craftbook, and Charlaine Harris's newest book, "Definately Dead". I can't wait to read that either!

My friend and I saw Ratatouille at 9 at night because she was too distracted by puppies to get to the 7:00 showing. I was fine with that, that gave us a chance to talk at the local pizza joint while waiting for 9 to roll around.

But I will say this, sleeping off Dramamine gives a person weird dreams and it's almost impossible to wake up. I had a dream John Travolta was trying to kill me, in most bizarre ways that would only make sense in my subconscious. So, it won't make sense to anyone, including me.

Anyway, I have to get going. I have to get my haircut, I'm still not sure if I just want a trim or for them to hack the whole thing off. Then I'll probably call my friend so we can do something later today. *nods* Sounds like a plan.

Later!

Well, let's see, what's happened in the past week? I watched, "Dead Silence", "1408", "Shadow Puppets", "Once Upon A Time In Mexico", and "Red Eye." Yeah, my friend and I watch a lot of movies when we are together.

But, I am pleased to say that the scarf that I started for my cousin when she was 5 is now complete. She is now 7. Shut up. It's just a simple garter stitch scarf, (meaning, I used the knit stitch for the whole scarf), I stopped knitting for a while. Basically because I didn't like the person that was teaching me how to knit.

Well, thanks to my friend, I am now glad to say that I taught myself how to do it. Now, the question is, am I doing it right? For the most part, I think the answer is yes.

My next project, finish my fuzzy blue scarf for a friend that I promised I would make her two + years ago. I can say that I think that she's forgotten about it. But, I am trying to be nice and make it for her. I mean, she is an awesome friend.

I have so many scarves that I want to make. One of them is red, an orange and black one (I want my Halloween scarf dammit!), the other is purple (most likely going to my other friend), a brown one (for a guy that I know ), another scarf with a pattern that looks awesome (but complicated), then maybe an afghan, I have a few patterns that look really nice.

Yes. I have lost my mind. If you find it, please tell me so I can send you my address so you can ship it back to me.

So, needless to say... I haven't gotten a whole lot of writing done. *hangs head in shame* I know!

Yeah, that must be it.

Anyway, for the past couple of days me and my friend have been teaching ourselves how to knit. It's taking some practice but it's been some interesting fun.

I'm almost done one scarf. I can't wait to get started on some fancier designs. Who knows? I might actually get to do an afghan. that'd be so cool. I have one scarf that I'm itching to try... it looks so cool.

Tomorrow, I'm going to head over to my friend's house and (unknown to her) we're going to watch "Dead Silence." I got it on DVD today! She and I wanted to see it in theater but no where in the state seemed to be playing it!

Anyway, hope everyone that reads this is doing well. I think I'm going to go to bed and crash. ( That smilie makes me laugh)

I'm so excited. Seeing that it was said that it was highly impossible for her to have a child. (medical complications and what-not) Actually, maybe it was that it was impossible to conceive a child. Well... she's pregnant!

The funny/weird part is that she was pregnant at the time she was told that she wasn't going to be able to have children (she didn't know, obviously).

In other news... I wrote a POTC one-shot. I'm debating posting it here. Seeing that ff.net keeps asking me who the narrator of the story is. I think it's pretty clear but apparently I'm wrong. I'm thinking of editting/adding more to it (to make it clear).

Then my friend --Dominique comes and picks me up so we can go to the mall. On the way to the mall there is a HUGE thunderstorm. I mean, a BAD ASS one. Thunder, lightening, and hail. It actually knicked Dom's windshield they were bouncing off the road so hard! Yeah. And now it's as sunny as can be. Oh how the weather mocks us here.

While at the mall I went to Hot Topic and two AWESOME shirts. They are from Foster's House For Imaginary Friends and the Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy. I LOVE them. I can't wait to wear them. It was 2 for $25 so I saved...$13. NICE!

I'm so going back soon and getting two more shirts that I saw there. Sleepy Hollow and this penguin with the words (I shit you not) "All dressed up and no where to go" on it. Dead Man's Party lyrics!!!!! AAAHHHHH!!! I would have gotten it today but I was like, "I really shouldn't spend this much on shirts....."

So, I'm hoping I'll be able to go back and get it on sale.

Then Dom and I went to Bath & Body Works. We must have spent a good hour and half there. But it was a REALLY good sale. We went on a really good day. I got four things of body lotion for $18.90 while one of them was originally priced at $6.00 I got 2 for $5. I splurged and got myelf an item that wasn't on sale (I was craving apple body lotion so I got some for $8--not on sale). Then I got a tropical passion fruit body lotion for $5 originally priced for $10. Yeah.... I'm bored can you tell?

Then we went to Friendly's for dinner. It was yummy.

Anyway, now I'm here watching Lost and Dom is threatening to throw her body lotion bottles at me if I don't start talking about what happens in this episode. Good fun.

"You spin me right round, baby
Right round like a record, baby
Right round, round, round
You spin me right round, baby
Right round like a record, baby
Right round, round, round."

I've had it stuck in my head ALL DAY today. Well, it began when I found the video on YouTube. It was one of the random videos that they have at the end of a video. Don't ask me what Les Mis and this song have in common but apparently they do.

Today, Tiina's brother kind of hit on me. Don't really know HOW I feel about that. I think I'm flattered but shocked... it was funny because I didn't know what to say.

Anyway, I posted two new stories today. One of them has been sitting around for a few months and the other one has been waiting around a little bit too. If you like Danny/OC smut one-shot stories I'd check 'em out. But that's just me.

Last night, it was odd. I was re-reading a Harry Potter fan fiction story that I stared a WHILE ago but haven't written anything in nearly 11 months. I just started writing the third chapter last night. Weird.

Righto. Going to shut up and go back to writing. Night!

Okay, for the past couple of days I have been going here there and everywhere it seems with my friend...Dominique. She and I have gone to Barnes & Nobles, Michael's (Craft store), and Chinese restaurants. All this week. One day it was B&N to just get me out of the house. We didn't buy anything! That's UNHEARD of, for us.

Then another day we go to Michael's. I got a friend a cross stitch because she's going to be bed ridden for some time. I started working on it yesterday and got a fair chunk of it done. I might actually get it done before September! Woot!

Anyway... during the week I have been watching my collection of Lost DVDs with Dominique. Now, I have her hooked on the show. We are now on Season 2...woot!

Today. I have been home with mom waiting for the car garage to call and tell us that the car is ready to be picked up. Soooo, instead of going out and doing stuff. I have been taking out clothes from my closet so I can donate them.

It is disgusting how many clothes I have that I don't even wear. I was piling the stuff on my bed and the pile is about to my chest all ready when I stand next to it. I'm 5'7" okay, and I'm not even half way done. I just did the sweatshirts. I'm screwed.

So, I'm going to go finish the rest so I can actually get the stuff out of my room.

Still a long way to go on my list:
- Beth's gift story
- Prof A and Me "story"
- Raining Tears Sequel
- "Glöm mig om du kan" (Forget Me If You Can) one-shot

It was kind of cool today, I got to talk to my friend's uncle on-line (he's one really nice guy). Actually, I lied. It was REALLY cool talking to him.

Dude! I LOVE this song! "Angel" by Lionel Richie. I haven't heard it in ages. This is so cool!

Tim Burton. He's pretty cute.

3. What would happen if Twelve got Eight pregnant?
Capt. Barbossa/Meg Giry? Madam Giry would kick his ass?

Pick at least 5 books and write the last lines without giving away the title. Those that guess a book correctly should do the challenge (But I'm not picky. If you want to do it go right ahead).

1. “But the face on the pillow, rosy in the firelight, is certainly that of C.S. and she sleeps deeply, sweetly, in the silence of the lambs." (kind of easy)

Anyway, this past week has been great. Let's see, I left off with the jazz concert on Wednesday... I still think that was a great concert. Lots of awesome music.

Thursday. I went to class, nothing really special happened. I went to dinner with Julie and Julie. Yes, they have the same name. After that I hung out with one of them. Went to my Vol. Center meeting and then afterwards, we headed to the Pub. We caught up with Joe (remember him? ) and played pool. God, those two were getting drunk and they still played better than me. It was sad. Really.

Friday is the day that puts a fit of butterflies in my stomach. Well, because of the intensely difficult week that Tiina and I had been having last week, I, of course, spoke with Prof. A. I asked him if he would sign a sympathy card for her. He agreed without an hesitation, which just enhances the fact that I think he's a really nice guy. Well, Tiina got the card and she told me that she wanted me to give Prof A a hug... and a kiss on the cheek. Well, let me just say, I didn't kiss him on the cheek. I didn't want to risk his job like that. Yes, he could have gotten FIRED if someone found out. (I've read too many chick lit books, okay) So I hugged him. He didn't mind at all, in fact, he chuckled. It was awesome.

Saturday was Kid's Day and I got to play with bunnies. They were so cute! They really were. The actual Kid's Day went really well. I understood most of what the Spanish mothers were talking about! Spanish paying off!! YES!! It's only taken HOW long? Wait, don't answer that.

So, yeah, I can't wait for this week to be over. That means all my papers are done and my two finals on Friday are done. But at the same time that means that I won't see Prof. A for a long time. Awww. I'll give him another hug and we'll be set for the summer.

]]> ~missdusk http://missdusk.deviantart.com/journal/12820188/ http://missdusk.deviantart.com/journal/12820188/ Wed, 02 May 2007 19:01:11 PDT
Anyway, after that, I'm waiting for my class with Prof. A to start. My friend Sandy comes out and says that she needs to go to the jazz concert tonight for her class. Me, just being a music lover, goes, "I'll come with you. I love concerts." So, that's all settled.

Then turns out that Prof. A is sick. Poor man. But a woman comes in and says that Prof. A is too sick to come in right now but he's going to be at the jazz concert tonight. *head/desk* Oh yeah, did I mention that he's the band director? No? Good reason for that. COMPLETELY forgot that he was the band director for our school.

Anyway, second class, Writing II we watched "A Streetcar Named Desire" and had a homework check. I got an "A" Yay! US History II, a quiz and a lecture that I didn't pay attention to. AT ALL.

Then I went to work. I had so much fun! We were doing a Breast Cancer BBQ. The money we made today went to breast cancer research. We made a good $300+ dollars today. Which is a lot for three hours of making hot dogs, hamburgers, and s'mores. I think I burned my finger making s'mores but it's fine. It doesn't hurt a lot. I had so much fun talking with people, hanging out, and nearly getting stepped on by the biggest guy I've met in my life. Ouchies.

Then I took a shower (to get the BBQ smell out of my hair) and then got ready for the concert. Good times man. I was so excited to see a concert. I didn't really care that it was conducted by Prof. A, I know, I know! But I was annoyed when my friends left before they were done the concert. I thought that it was rude. Basically because I am a Band Geek to the CORE and band geek "rules" say you stay the whole song and THEN leave. That irks me to NO end when someone gets up in the middle of a song and leaves. SO RUDE.

Then I got back to my room. No Tiina, I didn't talk to Prof A afterwards. You know what I mean. I'll wait.

I talked to my high school band friend and he tells me that he's going to Virginia Beach tonight with the band! I want to go... oh well. I told him to have fun and get a smoothie for me (long story). Old VB jokes. Now, when he gets back I should know when his last concert is so I can go see it and cry. "My babies are graduating!" type of night.

But, all in all, it was a great day. I'm glad that I had one good day this week and I'm hoping that I won't go crashing back down the tubes like last time.

3. Use the song title as the answer to the question even if it doesn’t make sense. NO CHEATING!
4. Tag 5 people.
5. With the answers, give your own comments on how it relates to the questions.

Mostly Oingo Boingo songs on here, you’ll have to forgive some of the weirdness…

HOW ARE YOU FEELING TODAY?
Oingo Boingo-Spider
I guess… *shrugs* It’s a depressing song.

WILL YOU GET FAR IN LIFE?
Oingo Boingo “Out of Control” ---that doesn’t sound good…

HOW DO YOUR FRIENDS SEE YOU?
“One” from a Chorus Line ---I can deal with that “she’s the one.” That would make me feel special.
WILL YOU GET MARRIED?
“End Credits Part 2” of Corpse Bride--- that’s the more jazzy version of “Remains of the Day” what that means, I have NO idea.

WHAT IS YOUR BEST FRIEND'S THEME SONG?
“Prologue” to Phantom of the Opera…that she has a fetish for POTO? I have no idea.

WHAT IS THE STORY OF YOUR LIFE?
“Higher Love” by Steve Winwood ---I’m pining for love? I guess so.

WHAT WAS (will be) HIGH SCHOOL LIKE?
“Into the Woods/The Witch” from Sleepy Hollow ---It was not! It was only that way if I was stuck with the cheerleaders at my school. They were a cult. They burnt a girl’s uniform when she decided to quit. A HATE BONFIRE. Hello??

HOW CAN YOU GET AHEAD IN LIFE?
“Alice’s Restaurant” by Arlo Guthrie ---If anything this song would me behind. It’s 18 minutes long! But it’s got a GREAT message.

WHAT IS THE BEST THING ABOUT YOUR FRIENDS?
“Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride” by Kamehameha School

WHAT IS IN STORE FOR THIS WEEKEND?
“The Meek Shall Inherit” from Little Shop Of Horrors ---Seymour is going to sign contracts so that Audrey IIs can take over the world!! NOOOOO!

THE BEST THING TO DESCRIBE YOUR GRANDPARENTS?
“Goodbye, Goodbye” by Oingo Boingo ---- That’s awful! And so not true! My grandma is still alive!

HOW IS YOUR LIFE GOING?
“My Favorite Things” from Sound of Music ---I don’t really know how to interpret that. Good and bad I guess.

WHAT SONG WILL THEY PLAY AT YOUR FUNERAL?
“Maniac” by Michael Sembello ---That’s not very nice…

HOW DOES THE WORLD SEE YOU?
“Run Away (The Escape Song)” by Oingo Boingo --- I would think it would be more the song that they are going to play at my funeral. Does the world see me as a person to run away from my problems or an insane person?? Hmm…

WILL YOU HAVE A HAPPY LIFE?
“Honor To Us All” from Mulan… I don’t really know.

WHAT DO YOUR FRIENDS REALLY THINK OF YOU?
“Cinderella Undercover” by Oingo Boingo… they think that I think fairytales are over?

DO PEOPLE SECRETLY LUST AFTER YOU?
“Call Back In The Morning” from Little Shop of Horrors… Maybe. Seymour likes Audrey and it’s the two of them singing to each other about successful business and the next song they admit that like each other.

HOW CAN I MAKE MYSELF HAPPY?
“Swanee” by Al Jolson --- I think the answer is… wtf?

WHAT SHOULD YOU DO WITH YOUR LIFE?
“Love’s A Loaded Gun” by Alice Cooper… well that doesn’t sound promising. “one down one to go. One more bullet in the chamber… sometimes love’s a loaded gun and it shoots to kill.”

WILL YOU EVER HAVE CHILDREN?
“I’m Afraid” by Oingo Boingo ---Damn right I’m afraid to have kids!! I’d be the worst mother in history!

WHAT SONG WOULD YOU STRIP TO?
“Skin” by Oingo Boingo… O_o well, that’s interesting. I personally would have picked “Poison” by Alice Cooper but… whatever.

IF A MAN IN A VAN OFFERED YOU CANDY, WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
“Reptiles and Samurai” by Oingo Boingo --- beat him up and bite him?

WHAT DOES YOUR MOM THINK OF YOU?
“Who Do You Want To Be?” by Oingo Boingo ---interesting I guess… O_o;

WHAT IS YOUR DEEP DARK SECRET?
“Wake Up (It’s 1984) --- That the government is headed for a swift downturn? Yup. That’s up there.

WHAT IS YOUR MORTAL ENEMY'S THEME SONG?
“Lost Like This” --- it’s because I’m so much better they are lost by my awesomeness and therefore are jealous. *pft* I don’t even know if I have mortal enemies.

WHAT IS YOUR PERSONALITY LIKE?
“Wandering Child/Bravo, Monsieur.” From Phantom of the Opera. That I’m a lost little girl who is a sucker for men who can sing… yeah, that hits the nail on the head.

It was so bad that by 1 in the morning I was calling the health helpline that comes with my mom's insurance company. The nurse was nice and everything but she just told me to relax, get a heat pack, and a massage. I like the last bit... now I just need someone hot to give me one and we'll be all set.

Okay, all joking aside. I was really tired this morning when I got up. It didn't help that it's kind of rainy today so my mood is all but guarenteed to be in the dumps.

I studied for my music quiz with Prof. A. I think I did fine on the quiz. Then we watched some Bob Fosse movies. Cabaret being one of them. I was in a good mood watching that.

But then I went to Spanish class and realized that the Mean Red Lady was paying me a visit. So I took my quizzes for Spanish and left. After that whole fiasco I realized that I need to get more feminine supplies PRONTO. So, I'm hoping that I can slip out of this office and get some before the bookstore closes.

I also need to get stamps. I need to send a letter.

I didn't even get to talk to Prof. A that much this week because he had to eat and run to give someone a music lesson. But, I got to talk to him for a few minutes and he made me feel even worse. He didn't mean it, it was his sympathy that was getting to me. I was starting to shake because he was being so nice & so sweet. I think I covered my shaking from him though. I don't really know why but whenever someone gives me sympathy I start to shake and break down into tears even more. But, I had planned on giving him a thing of "Kissables" because we had this joke about "making" him listen to me by using candy as bribery. So I wrote him a note thanking him for listening to me for the past few weeks and left the note and the candy in his office. He deserves so much more. Seriously.

Anyway, I'll probably add more to this journal after I get back from the bookstore.

EDIT: Back. Yeah, I got what I needed. My letter is sent. I won't explain that until I know my friend got it.

I got to talk to my friend Britney today. I met her at the first blood drive that I helped with. The one where I wanted to give blood but I ended not being able to because I was so scared of getting sick afterwards. Britney is in the theater department so I do see her a lot seeing that I go to a lot of plays. She was helping with auditions today for another play. I talked to her for a bit and she gave me two hugs and I nearly started crying both times. Kindness... it makes me cry. That's not good.

Okay, okay I need to stop moping. I need to get SO much of my homework done it's not even funny. I want to talk to my friends but they are probably all hungover because they went to a friends 21st birthday party last night. One of them was drunk before they even got to the bar. *grrr*

I want to go back to bed but I need to take a quiz before I forget, scan and print my workbook for Spanish, start writing/finishing my essays for various classes. My friend wants me to go to his track meet tomorrow. My other friend wants me to go to her house on Sunday and then have a "party" afterwards. Party means get drunk. My friened even offered to give me a ride to school on Monday but I need to get my suitcase of clothes back and I don't think she wants a suitcase in her house overnight when people might be barfing during the night. No, no...

Okay. I'm done. Seriously. *shuts up and pulls tissues closer* It's going to be a long night.

Apparently Julie was giving Cassie and Sandy attitude yesterday. Sandy (or Cassie, I don't remember which) put up an away message saying something about not liking people with attitudes... blah, blah, blah. Okay. I NEVER saw anything like that. So, later I hear that Julie put up an away that said something about not liking people for thinking that people have attitudes... I dunno really. But whatever, same dumb plot, right?

Oh, and I love when Cassie is telling me this whole story and she goes, "That means she's probably mad at YOU too." Excuse me? Sometimes Cassie, you need to shut your fucking face. I don't go jackshit to get Julie mad at me. Basically, because I don't talk so I can't get myself into trouble.

So, time goes back. I get back to my room to see that Meaghan gave me an IM saying that she's not mad at me that's she's just annoyed that she doesn't know what "attitude" they are talking about. Then a while later I get an IM saying that she blocked them from AIM because she needs a break. Dude, after this whole STUPID ordeal, I can understand that.

But do the other two? Hell. No. Now, I understand that they have this deal that if one of them is pissed off with someone they talk about it. Well, as I understand it, Julie is still too mad to talk about it. Period. But Cassie is getting her knickers all in a twist because Julie isn't talking.

So, I try and calmly tell Cassie that Julie needs a break. I get a pissy answer in return and she signs off on me! EXCUSE ME?! You DON'T do that when you are talking to someone on-line. It's like walking out of the room when you are arguing with someone. You are just ASKING for the other person to get even more pissed off. As I can fully attest to!

Then I'm talking to Sandy and was telling me that she was pissed off too. But did she sign off on me? Nope. When Cassie finally signed on again I was still to mad to talk to her. So, I'm going to talk to her to her face tomorrow about this. Because as you can tell, I'm REALLY mad about this.

And I have a test tomorrow. I have been studying for the past three hours and then this happened. Now I really should go to bed and I don't want to because I still have two more chapters to read and I hate going to bed when I'm mad.

I just finished another one-shot called "Raining Tears" for a friend and she really liked it.

Hopefully, I will be able to write more stories soon. I know I need to get my butt into gear and write one for the DBCA's Bathroom Challenge (for members 18 and over). The deadline is coming up fast!

Later!

]]> ~missdusk http://missdusk.deviantart.com/journal/12636589/ http://missdusk.deviantart.com/journal/12636589/ Tue, 17 Apr 2007 19:07:36 PDT
But in other news. I am copying and pasting a post that I wrote on the DBCA (to save my poor fingers):
At the International Festival (last week) I learned that there was a Global Dinner on Friday from 5-10pm. Now, usually I go home on Friday at 5 but a guy named Aaron (who's from Vietnam) wanted me to come. So, I went. Now, he is a sweet guy. He's also very touchy feely, which doesn't really bother me. I think I enjoyed it a little too much if you get what I'm saying.

Anyway...so, Global Dinner the food was so good. Keish... Soooo good. Along with curried chicken. It was so amazingly good. *wants more* So, after the actual food a DJ came downstairs and started playing some songs. This is where I met Gosha (Polish girl... she's 28). She was really nice. She gave me a hug before I left... well, more like she pulled me into her chest by surprise...don't know whether that's just her personality or the Polish in general. Tiina? Opinion?

After she left, Aaron disappeared for a bit (he and I had been talking) so I was walking around and the Indian girl that gave me my Henna tattoo sees me and grabs my hand to see it. She goes, "Oooooh, it's so nice. You ever want more Henna come to me. I'll do it again." So we get to talking... she called me cute and pinched my cheek wicked hard. She even called me innocent. Little does she know...anyway... her name is Karuna, she gave me phone number, address, and told me that we are hanging out on Tuesday (today) and that she would give me a call. Now, she is nice and everything but she kind of creeped me out with that. I wanted to bring a friend with me if I'm going over to see her today (just because it's my first time going to her house, you know? First time jitters), but she never called, so, no worries.

THEN came the dancing part. Karuna dragged me onto the dance floor for one Indian song. Holy crap, these guys knew how to dance and I was just following this one guy's moves. He just keeps smiling at me and we somehow aren't dancing with everyone else anymore and he tells me, "You're a very good dancer. My name is Satish." This is me on the outside: "*blush* Awww, thanks." Inside: "Duuuuude, he said I was a good dancer! Me!! " Yeah. Later, I got his e-mail address and phone number and he told me to drop him a line. *blushes again* That is seriously the first time I was handed a guy's number. He gave me a hug before I left.

I walked out and was about to step out when I noticed Aaron there. So, I gave Aaron a hug and told him that we needed to hang out more. Then Davit walked me home seeing that we live in the same building.

It was a fun time. Seriously, they should do that every Friday. I went up to the Director of International Studies and thanked her for the dinner. She was so happy.

I had another dream with Prof. A in it. I was really weird...(WARNING: IF YOU DON'T LIKE INTIMATE SITUATIONS DON'T READ!) I was having computer problems and so I was taking my computer to Prof. A, why I have no idea. He's good with technology but not a whiz. I remember I was having a conversation with Mrs. Smea and the screen was frozen or something. So, when I was telling him my problem, I noticed that something was off. He was unkept... his nails were long and brownish, his teeth were scary and he was drooling... ewwww. He looks at my computer and then he looks up. There is this chick who is wearing a lavender skirt and I notice that Prof. A is looking at her like a piece of meat. Very OOC there.

Prof. A and I go into his office. He sets my computer down and we start talking and we started talking about "Nightmare Before Christmas" because he goes, "I love the ending."

"Me too. Jack and Sally were so cute together."

He pulls me into his arms and kisses me on the forehead and goes, "Me too." Then he starts blowing into my ear and kissing my neck, saying things like, "You want me don't you?"

*blushes* "Yes..."

Then he says, "Get in line sister! I've got my eye on someone else!" and runs out of the room cackling like a maniac and scooped up the chick with the lavender skirt.

Then I ran off to the band room and was like, "Well, this is just about the first time I regret not being in band so I have someone to talk to about this..." /end dream
When I woke up I was like, "Oh... my...god." but now that I got it out there, it's kinda funny. He was like "Evil!Prof.A"

ANYWAYS, that's all the excitement in my life right at the moment. Just been trying to beat back the plot bunnies... ]]> ~missdusk http://missdusk.deviantart.com/journal/12556855/ http://missdusk.deviantart.com/journal/12556855/ Wed, 11 Apr 2007 17:07:07 PDT
Okay, let's see if I can break this down. First, good news: I managed to survive writing two papers and had my presentation for Appreciation of American Musical class. It was supposed to be 20 (because there was 4 of us) and we were a good half an hour. So... yeah. I was told that our presentation was cute (from a student in the class), so I'm hoping that Prof. A thinks so too.

Yesterday was fun for a little bit though. There was an International Festival in the school. I had to walk through it to get to work so needless to say that I didn't want to go to work. So, I went to the Festival... while on the clock. I got a REALLY nice Henna tattoo from the Indian table. (I was told by the girls at the Kenya table that I HAD to get one.) It's a nice flower design on my left hand. Pretty sweet. I like it. A lot. Then a guy at the Vietnamese table that I know named Thanh was really nice and we were chatting it up a lot. I think he convinced me to go to the Global Dinner that is on Friday. I can't wait! I hope my friend Dom can come but her demon car is still busted.

Now, onto the less fun things... I found out today that my town has gone COMPLETELY insane. A kid that I went to high school with (he's in band too) is most likely going to jail for 20 years for robbing a local convience store! WTF?! First pumpkins being throw onto the major highway and then girls getting pregnant right and left. (One of them is in SEVENTH GRADE!!!!) Now this? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?

So, yeah, definately hoping that I can watch Casablanca tonight (later tonight) so that I can relax. I love that movie. Which brings me to another point... he is being REALLY nice to me this week. He IMed asking if I wanted to go to lunch. I had to eat so I agreed. He offered to get me something when he went back up to get something else to eat. That never happened before. And then, I called him after my US History II class asking if I could borrow Casablanca because in the middle of that class, I was just hit with a HUGE urge to watch it. He didn't give me a hard time or anything. He dropped off the DVD when I was at work... he NEVER goes into there. EVER. Getting a girlfriend has definately made him more tolerable. I like it.

Max, you know that if you ever need to talk me that you are always to talk to me. I would offer you my number but I know that you can't stand phones so I don't see the point. No one deserves to feel alone at a time like this. Also, that chick isn't worth getting worked up over. You know who I mean.

Now... I think I need to write something before I explode.

I have so much crap that I need to do. I have done one thing in the past three days. It's nothing to be proud of. I wrote my "review" for the play I saw on Friday. It was pretty damn funny. I wrote it for Writing II class and extra credit for Musical class.

I have to read 13 pages for a quiz that is at 2. I have to go to class at 12:30 for my eccentric Writing II professor. I have to read 20 pages for World Civ II and then write an essay for it later tonight. HAVE TO. I also have to get my butt in gear and start working on the Appreciation of the American Musical project that is due on Wed. Yeah, this is going to be a fun next few days. Seriously, something has GOT TO give... *resists starting to sing, "Bodies" by Drowing Pool*

My printer JUST got a new ink cartridge LAST WEEK and it's already out. That is how much I go through ink. It's disgusting. I am telling my mom that we need to get two double packs. That is disgusting.

Can you tell that I already want this week to be over. Or to at the very least have all this homework magically do itself? That would be really nice.

Okay, I feel so pissed off right now. I have tried EVERYTHING to get my MSN to work. I have done EVERYTHING in their Troubleshooting thingie-mi-globber and it still doesn't work!! WTF?!

I mean, I wouldn't mind so much if I had another way of actually signing into the damn thing so that I could still talk to people (like AIM does) but that is being a pain in the ass too. HELLO?! I would like to talk to Mrs. Smea, Tara, Renn, and Delta right now!

Especially seeing that they want to start a Harry Potter challenge on the DBCA (which you all should check out by the way, it sounds pretty nifty, I believe the DBCA is my homepage on my profile). They want to be able to talk through MSN. AAAARGHH!!! My life is cursed!

I'm wicked stressed because I have another project for Appreciation of the American Musical due next week and our group hasn't gotten together once. But, it's not that I'm worried about. Once we all know what we are going to be talking about and doing for our creative component we don't really need to get together to get those parts done. (I hope) OY!! I want to punch something.

But I can't because I have yet to finish reading my stuff for World Civ and we have a quiz later today. I'm not happy with that class either right now I got a low B/high C on my last paper. I worked real hard on that! Fine. Whatever. That's what the extra credit is for.

ERGH! So freakin' annoyed.

I woke up and went to breakfast. Returned my friend's inhaler (I accidentally kept it when she asked me to hold onto for her during dinner). Then I accidentally met up with this girl that I haven't talked to in a while. Then he showed up with his girlfriend. I didn't care if she sat with us, I just didn't want to deal with him. So, I all but clamped my mouth shut so I wouldn't say anything that would get us all mad. It was hard because he was leaving himself WIDE open for insults. WIDE open.

So, I went and dropped off my application for the Student Conduct Board. I got an e-mail later in the week asking if I could make an interview Friday morning at 10:30! I'm so excited! If I last through the interview I think that means I'm in. Let's hope I don't faint. *shakes head * That would make any Friday complete.

Then I went to classes. Nothing really exciting there. A couple of quizzes, more depressing poetry, and a test to study for. My poor head...

Later that night a friend of mine and I were on IM and we were like, "I'm free this weekend. We need to hang out. This is ridiculous."

Then on Thursday. I went to classes. Finally passed in an essay for my World Civ class. I only have two more before classes end. I think I got a 10 during class discussion though. I wouldn't shut up during the discussion about the first question (what my essay was about). I was pretty happy. I think my professor was just like, "Was she the only one that read this?" that's kind of sad because I think I really was.

Later on Thursday, my friend "Cassie" IMs me during her class and tells me that she has a bottle of fuckin' wine in a Gatorade bottle and is drinking DURING class. I was shouting at her (through IM) that she was being irresponsible, even if she is legal. Seriously! IN CLASS.

Later (after the wine wore off) Cassie did my hair. She all but shoved me into her chair and said, "I'm doing your hair. No protests."
Me: "O_O Yes ma'am." it was very nice looking. That reminds me, I need to put up my deviant I.D... I'll do it tomorrow. I need my laptop to do that. Anyways, my hair was all nice and straight with a slight curl at the end. Cassie was walking around at dinner looking for a table and she sees a guy that I've liked off and on (because he's an almost perfect gentlemen). and she goes, "Hey ______, don't you think her hair looks pretty?"
He looks, I mean, LOOKS and goes, "Yes, it's very nice." (his tone made me blush) He's so sweet.

Then we were having dinner with "Sandy" and "Joe" and he was so crude it was hysterical. Seriously, why he started talking about pussy I have NO idea. But I couldn't stop laughing to save my life.

After dinner my friends and I were going to hang for a little bit. But I didn't want to stay for too long because I had to go study for my American Musical quiz. But Cassie, decided that I HAD to have a drink. So, she sneaks some into the room for me. Hello... thank you for breaking the LAW. (no alcohol for me thanks) On the way back to my dorm though, I saw a group of my "freshmen friends" let's call 'em, playing frisbee One of them was so drunk but he was very coordinated. I don't know how that happened but he did it. I played frisbee for a bit with them. It was fun. Then he was there (with his gf) and he was like, "Have you been drinking?" He just doesn't get that I'm loud and hyper when I'm having fun. (he wouldn't know because I never get that way around him) When I said "I'm not drunk." he just continues to look at me like I'm scum. Whatever, you're not my mother or the police.

On Friday, I went to classes. Passed my quizzes (I'm assuming) all 4 of them. 3 in one class. Spanish is so w... ]]> ~missdusk http://missdusk.deviantart.com/journal/12355739/ http://missdusk.deviantart.com/journal/12355739/ Tue, 27 Mar 2007 20:37:46 PDT At 8 in the morning I am up and getting ready for a meeting with my advisor. Well, I was talking with a friend this morning (she'll remain nameless for now, I don't think she'd appreciate me telling the on-line world what I'm about to say) and she tells me that her tests came back from the doctor saying that she has a malignent tumor in her lung. I felt like such an ass for not being able to stay longer and help her talk out her grief (or whatever she does to relieve stress).

Needless to say, when I got to my advisor's office, I was completely out of it. She just thought it was because it was 9 in the morning. What can I say? I really don't want to start a sob story with my advisor when I have other things that I should be doing right at that moment. Well, we finally figured out my classes for next semester. Also, I am now a History major with a minor in English-Professional Writing. I think my English teacher from last year would be kind of proud by that. Or least, I hope he will, when I tell him. I'll try to call him tomorrow, maybe. Yes, I still talk to my English teacher and yes, we talk on the phone...sometimes. We rag on each other so bad, it's fun.

Anyway, during all this, I'm trying to join Student Conduct Board (a judicial board where students decide what the punishment is for other students that get into trouble on campus). It sounds like a really awesome thing to be a part of. So, I have to get two references. Well, I was going to get my advisor and (the infamous) Prof. A...

Well, Prof. A's only class today was at 7:00 pm and it's a band rehearsal. As if he doesn't think I'm weird enough let's add SHOWING UP at 7:00 or 9:00 (when it ends) to ask him to be a reference!! No. Don't think so.

So, I was wondering who I could ask when I literally ran into my other cute professor. Prof...B. Let's call him. (I like being alphabetical. ) I was about to go up the stairs to get my paperwork filled out for being an English minor and he was coming up the stairs from the parking lot and I nearly walked right into him. My face must have been a nice shade of maroon.

I was talking with a friend from that class later about it (I knew she'd get a kick out of it). She goes, "You should have just walked right into him. He would have caught you and you would have swooned." I started to laugh, but I have to admit. I like the way she thinks. So, she told me that it's a shame that I didn't follow through. Kinda funny.

So, I finally ask Prof. B to be a reference and he told me that he thinks I would be a good choice because, "I haven't heard about you raising too much Hell." I wanted to be a smart ass and ask, "Well, what have you heard?" or "Obviously you aren't talking to the right people."

After all that, my friends and I decide to go to TGI Fridays where one of the girls thought a guy looked cute. Other friends gave the guy her phone number on a napkin. The guys at the table were arguing who the number was for and asking which one was Meaghan. So, we told the waitress to say that all four of us were Meaghan.

I got a new pair of shoes that make me look even more like a bum and I love them. They are black and white and then there is a red broken heart on them. LOVE THEM.

Oh and I had lunch with him today because he decided to IM me during class. Whatever. So, he was talking about how his day sucked because he had Writing II with "the Nazi" (drives me crazy that he REFUSES to call her by her real name) and I told him my news about the friend. He has never shut up so fast. It made me almost laugh in his face.

THEN he asks me, "Well, does she smoke?"
I all but shouted, "No!" because I knew he was going to say, "otherwise, she kind of deserves it." Who. the fuck. Says that?! Especially when you are talking to a friend who is clearly upset?! HIM. He makes me want to punch random things....

Oh, and then after lunch, he meets up with his girlfriend and everything. Me, just thinking, " I need to get to class." walks off without him getting to say good-bye. Well, he IMs me later asking where did I go and all that crap. Now, I'm mentally kicking myself. He's probably going to think that I still have feelings for him and I can't stand to see him and his girlfriend together.

Sorry, hun. You n... ]]> ~missdusk http://missdusk.deviantart.com/journal/12303047/ http://missdusk.deviantart.com/journal/12303047/ Fri, 23 Mar 2007 21:47:50 PDT will let me know. (Poor dear, she knows the WHOLE story) OH! I would also like to say that somedays before Prof. A's class, I would grab breakfast and head over to the lobby of the building where I have class. Well, everytime that I go early, I swear, Prof. A walks by and gives me the weirdest look like, "You KNOW class doesn't start for another 45 minutes, right?" (it's easier to just do homework there then walk to the library and then to class, okay?)

Anyway...today. I was about to go to Prof. A's class for a test when a friend of mine IMs me, telling me that she needed to get a paper signed for her to drop a class. I asked her who the teacher was...as you might have guessed... Prof. A. *head/desk* I told her to come after my class was over and before we both headed off to Spanish. Well, she went to his office (seeing that I forgot to tell her which classroom I was going to be in) and he wasn't there.

So, after Spanish, she wants to try again. We go to his office and we see that his class didn't get out for another 20 minutes. We go to lunch, and then book it back to his office 10 minutes after his class is let out. He's not in his office. My friend, who's really frustrated at this point (as am I), we start walking around campus doing other things. and then I ask her if she wants to give Prof. A one more shot.

We get back to the building (after she and I have come up with an amazing plan of how if he's not there, we're going to trash his office, hide under his desk and when he sits down, grabs his leg so he can't leave until he signs the paper so she can drop the class [...my mind just went into the gutter. ])...anyway, I see the window to his office and notice that his computer is on. So, my friend books it into the building and almost ran into Prof. A! My friend finally gets the paper signed (he was really nice about it). and as I turn to leave Prof. A gives me this...odd look. It wasn't like, "I think you're hot." Lord knows if that happened, I'd die. I think it was more of a, "Are you stalking me?" look. !

Then to top everything off, my friend realized that she lost her cellphone as she ran into the building. the only reason why she paid attention to the cell on the ground was because I asked if it was her's. She picks it up and she's like, "Yup. it's mine." and we both start cracking up at the whole situation.

I told my friend this who works at the Info Desk at the college and the woman that she works with says as she is laughing her butt off at my story, "I think that just for this week, you better go to the library before that class, instead of the building." I agree. Seriously. I really don't want him to think that I'm stalking him.

I'm sure that I was supposed to do something for my Spanish class too but right now. I don't give a care about anything.

I really don't know why I feel so freakin' miserable. Maybe it's just late night blues setting in on me but come on...

EDIT: I just found out that he has a girlfriend. I think I'm going to explode with the happiness of not having to worry about him ever again. I KNEW he liked her. I just KNEW it. I'm still mad that he wouldn't just tell me but I figured it out anyway. Freeeeeeeeeeeddddddooooooommmmm!!!

I think I just died and gone to an obscure heaven!! Now I just need to get MYSELF a boy and we are going to be doing just fine.

I'm worried about Tiina a.k.a. , I know that she has been suffering from illness for the past several weeks/months/years (possibly) but honestly, I still feel awful. I'm telling you right now, I don't want to get an e-mail from your brother any time soon! I mean, I like him and everything but...no.

In other news, I have a few ideas for fan fiction one-shots... A Tim Burton/Danny Elfman idea that won't go away, a Pirates of the Caribbean one, and a V for Vendetta one. I'm trying to poke back the full-fledged Corpse Bride idea that I have and I think I'm winning... for now.

But, most importantly I need to finish my musical project, which was (thankfully) pushed back until Monday when I return from break. *drops to knees* THANK YOU!!!
