This is begining to read like a Proust novel, but I'm serious. I know this is probably boring the one or two people who actually look at my journal, but I can't fight this sensation of wasting my life. I'm sure tons of college students feel like this, but... well, I'm not used to it.

It probably doesn't help that I've been reading loads of F Scott FItzgerald and Hemingway, who both have that melancholic nostalgia for days past. Still, at least Fitzgerald put a novel out by 24. I'm nowhere near that.

Aside from my paranoia about losing time, I've been well, and I hope you all have too. I have a few new poems, so please check them out and let me know what you think. Comments make me smile!

In other news, I seem to have gotten back on the bandwagon about posting things up here, so kudos to me! Hope everyone is enjoying the new material, and I must send thanks to all those who have commented on my new work. I'm getting some great feedback, and I love it! Thanks especially to JankoRaven and Bill- love you both!

But much more importantly than anything I may have written is my SUPER HUGE news!!! I AM GOING TO HAVE FUCKING BREAKFAST WITH NEIL GAIMAN!!!!!! This is no joke! I work at a bookstore, and in October we're going to a book seller's convention. And at the author breakfast will be, you guessed it, NEIL GAIMAN! OMG I was so excited when my coworker told me, that I practically flipped out in the middle of the store. I'm still in shock. He's going to be signing books, too. My fear now, of course, is that I'm going to get to the front of the line and sound like some kind of stuttering moron: "Mr. Gaiman... I just... oh, wow... I just LOVE all your work..." Yikes! Like he probably doesn't get that ALL the time. But, y'know, he's only a literary god to me. Wow, I'm still so excited.

Anyway, that's all. Just wanted to inform you. Yeah.
Love to all! Particularly JankoRaven- hope school is going well, lovey!!
Ciao! XOXO!

AND I have some other good news... Eddie, my faithful iPod, was able to fight his way back into the land of the living. So I now, once again, have music! I am SO happy. I was preparing to buy a new one entirely, and I'm glad I can spare myself the expense. Class starts again next week, and I need to buy a parking permit and textbooks. Ick! But I was able to save up quite a bit of money over the summer, and my Financial Aid has actually worked out this semester- thank God!

Oh, and love, love and MORE love to JankoRaven, who is leaving the nest and venturing out on her own to go to school- good luck darling, and don't forget to write!!! I'll miss you!

Anyway, kisses to everybody! Look for the new stories tomorrow!!

That aside, I'm alright. I have written some more, and mean to post it very soon. Promise promise promise!! Oh, and I'm going to see the X Files movie tonight and I'm SUPER excited! Yay!

Well, lovies, cuddles and all the usual! Oodles of love!!

Anyway, that aside, I am out of school now (thank GOD!) and am looking forward to a little fun in the sun! I forsee beach trips, river trips, reading in the sun... and work of course. But I actually like my job, so its okay.

So, happy summer vacation to everyobody, and thanks again for my pageviews and comments! Love love love to YOU for hanging in there with me!!
XOXO

Eddie, my elderly iPod shuffle, has played his last song. He has joined the iPod choir invisible. He is pushing up the iPod daisies. He has passed on to a better world. I hope he's reborn as a Nano, at least, because he deserves it. One with a cool color, like green or pink. He's happier now, I'm sure.

However.... I am now sans iPod. And since I don't have a radio or a CD player in my car, I used to listen to Eddie. With one headphone in, because I know it's illegal with two- get off my case. I guess I shall have to get a new iPod, whenever I have an extra couple hundred dollars. Yeah, and maybe I'll be voted President of the US of A in November. NO FUCKING WAY!

Anyway, just pissed about that. Finals are this week, and I have never been so tired in my entire life. But after tomorrow, it will be all be over until September... when it will all begin anew. Sigh. Oh, well loves to all youse guys who are always so nice to me- you know who you are! See you all later!
XOXO!

So that's what's going on with me. That and finals are next week- BLEH! Er, I guess the week after that. See, school has me so befuddled, I don't even know what day it is! Anyways, love to all who read my lil thingums- special love as always to JankoRaven and WindmillSlayer for sheer awesomeness. Wish me luck! Oh, and new stuff will be posted ASAP. I really really really really mean it this time!
XOXO

Not much going on here. School, work, writing (I know, I know, I haven't posted any of it- get off my back!) I'm excited for this weekend though- I've got Saturday off, and a friend of mine is coming home from college for the weekend! Yay!

God I am so tired! I was housesitting for my aunt last yesterday, and her dog kept me up all night. And then, as if that wasn't enough, it pooped all over the floor, and I was late to work trying to clean it up. As it is, I didn't do a very good job. And I cut myself shaving my legs this morning, and didn't have any band aids. It was great. Sigh. I am perpetually being kept from a good night's sleep.

Anyway, I've been having horrid writers block lately... in case my barren account didn't clue you in. I've been swamped with posts for the RP board I'm part of, although that's fun so I don't really mind. I must start writing more regularly. Otherwise, I'll have to be like Oscar Wilde and put my genius into my life, and only my talent into my work.

I wish.

Anyway, just letting you all know I wasn't kidnapped or anything. Comments on my work is always appreciated, and I promise that very soon there will be somethign new to comment on. Happy trails to all, and lovies and kisses too!!! Bye now!

That might be a slight exaggeration, but only very slight. Seriously. I just had the midterm in my Standard English Grammar class (totally boring by the way). The essay question.... please describe what a noun is, and distinguish between proper and common nouns. Ummm, I don't know about you guys, but I SWEAR I learned that in the third grade. Or something like that. I mean, did I really just pay $1800 to learn this crappola? Apperently I did. Sigh.

Yeah, and my Oceanography midterm is tomorrow. I'm not worried about that one- it'll be a piece of cake. Although from the way my classmated are panicking, you'd think it was quantum physics or something. I find myself wondering why on god's green earth an English major like myself has to take these classes. Maybe I don't want to be a well-rounded person. Maybe I want to be a not-bored person. But the university system doesn't seem to care what I think.

Anyway, I am right now procrastinating on an essay that's due tomorrow. I really should go do that.... Damn. Well, thanks for helping me put off work that should have been done yesterday. Thankies to all who fave, review, glance at my stuff, etc. Cookies given to you guys who are so sweet about giving me helpful comments- you're the bestest!
Wish me luck in dealing with Satan's children. Toodles!

1. I discovered, much to my chagrin, that there are still tickets to the Marilyn Manson concert in San Francicsco. I thought, YAY! and immediately went to buy one, only to realize.... the concert is for a Wednesday, and I have school all day on Thursdays. I could, conceivably, drive straight from the show to Sac State, sleep in the car for a few hours, and then go to class. But my professors would probably kick me out because I'd hate to think what I'd look like after that particular show. But this bums me out because I love love LOVE the new album, and of course all the old ones too. Maybe next time...

2. I still haven't received my financial aid disbursement, and so I had to put my tuition on a credit card. Eeep!! That hurt, I can tell you! I'm probably going to have to ask for an advance at work becuase I don't have that money, and I had to buy books. Bleh!!

But aside from that, all is well. Thanks to Jankoraven and WindmillSlayer for their responses to my writing dilemma- I'm working on it guys, expect them soon! Anyway, lovies to everybody and think happy thoughts for me in my time of fiscal crisis!
Bye!!

But seriously, my plan is that I'm going to ask practically everyone I know to give me an idea, and I will write a short story about it. This idea can be anything: a word, a phrase, a title, a character, a whole friggin plot line if you want. And whatever it is, I will write a short story about it.

In all fairness, I guess I should warn you of a few things-
1. I make no promises as to when they will be done. Hopefully within the month, but I'm not garunteeing anything.
2. I may take poetic license with your ideas, and if you don't like the end results, I don't care.

Well, that about sums it up. To all who decide to help me, thank you guys very much. For those who decide not to... well, let's just say there might be a broken elbow in your very near future.

Anyway, lovies to all, special shout-out to WindmillSlayer for all the awesome feedback! Some people could take a hint... *cough* BILL! *cough*
Kisses and Hugs!!!

Yeah, so I started school- which was a fiasco of biblical proportions. I'm begining to think I am the walking epitome of Murphy's Law, no joke. I'm fighting WWIII with the financial aid department, and one of my professors looks like a child molestor. I figure I'll stay away from his office hours; you know, just to be on the safe side. I'm also broke. OK, who saw THAT one coming, cause I know I did.

Just got my hair done this morning and I have returned to my original bombshell blonde self. This is, of course, following my stint as a redhead, a brunnette, and emo-ish looking black color, and just about every shade in between. All this in the space of 18 months- whew! It's good to be back!

Anyway, must run before anyone realizes I am not, in fact, enterring orders. Catch you all on the flipside, and peaceout!!! Lovies!!!!

Anyway, Operation Move Out And Then Move In was a success, although I have found that some of my possessions have gone to that abyss where they will never be seen again- aka, my garage. The emo hair has made it's appearance, although I was semi-disappointed to notice that it really doesn't look very emo at all. Oh, well. There goes my plan for infiltrating the emo subculture and then making millions off my heartwrenching memoir based on the experience. Better luck next time, I suppose.

But the holiday season won't truly be over until I host my fourth annual New Years Eve Extravaganza!! This year it is to be Disney themed, which made everyone super excited. We're all dressing as one of our fave Disney characters. I shall be going as the Cheshire Cat, and I look totally hot in the outfit, by the way!! We shall also have a Mad Hatter, a Pocahontas, a Belle, and a Gaston at the party, and hopefully a few others who haven't RSVPed yet. Should be fun!!!

Anyway, must go, but I'm glad to be back, and I hope that you all enjoyed the holiday season to the fullest. Loves and more loves to all!!!

On the shelf is a promo/ boxed set thing which includes a Schick Quatro razor, replacement blades, and (this is the kicker) a portable mp3 dock with mini speakers. With batteries included. I must have stared at it for, like, ten minutes. And then I whipped out my phone and started calling EVERYBODY!!!! I mean, what the fuck!!!

So that was my adventure. It also explains why there is now a crappy mp3 dock in my car. Yeah, I bought it, who wants to say somethin'? Didn't think so, bitches.

Yeah, gotta go close the store now, so see you on the flip side, dudes and dudettes!!
Love!

My tummy is growling... I should go get some food. But I've been so lazy today. I slept until 2pm today. Admittedly, I haven't slept much the past week or so, but you'd think I'd be used to it by now. Ah well.

Alright, bitches, I'm off to go hunt down some nutritional sustenance. Read- Taco Bell. What can I say, I still can't cook for shit, despite having lived on my own for a year. I think it's a mental handicap.

Loves, and more loves to all y'alls!!!
Later!!!

So my mom is paying for me to get my hair colored, cut and styled as part of my Christmas gift. And I started looking for ideas for how I should cut it. And, you guessed it, I picked an emo hairstyle. What can I say? It was pretty. So, yeah. Next time you see me.... emo hair. Yeah.

That's about it. Finals are next week, and I'm killing myself playing catch-up. I promise myself every semester that I won't procrastinate, but I always do. Sigh....

Anyway, I must sleep. Class tomorrow, and all that. Laters!
Kiss! Love!

I have my orientation in Sac this weekend, so that's good. And I'll get to help decorate my family's Christmas tree, which I thought I'd miss out on. Yay!
I'm listening to a bunch of big band and swing music. I forgot how much I loved that stuff. I used to play it too, and that was awesome! Good times!! I was never very good (didn't practice) but I still loved it!
My new favorite singer (singer, not band) is Miss Peggy Lee. God, she's amazing! So incredible, and so talented- love her!!! Look her up if you want some great jazz sung by a great lady!
Anyway, must get moving!! See y'all later!!
Loves!

Sigh... I don't know. My family and I don't get along as well as I wish we would, and I used to be able to go to my boyfriend for cheering up when they got to be too much for me to handle. I miss that. I guess (as stupid and soppy as this sounds) I just miss being with somebody. And Christmas is all about being with people you love, and I'm just being reminded of my single-ness. Whatever. It's not even December yet, I don't know why I'm even bothering with this already. Anyway, that's what's new with me. Not as depressed as I sound, I assure you. Must get to bed now- I have work in the morning.
Nighty Night!

Yeah, I'm super-duper excited. I got into Sac State just like I wanted, so now I'm moving in with my friend and gonna be having a grand old time!!! We'll have a ball in our swingin bachelorette pad!! YAY! Seriously, I am so glad to be going back home and being with the people I really care about. I'll miss my co-workers here, and the bitchin ocean proximity.... but still. I even got my old job back- no questions asked! So I get to work with all my friends again.

On a side note, I had a rockin Thanksgiving, hope you all did too! Turkey was moist, pie was plentiful, and friends were home from school! What could be better?

Love to the world- I'm happy, and you should be too!!
Kiss kiss!!!!

Yeah, so other than that, nothing new to report. I went to the beach on Friday, and it was beyond perfect. It was warm and sunny, and the tide was just going out. The waves were gentle and I desperately wanted a board to try them out on. Ah well. Got some good meditating in, wrote some poetry (I'll post it later...) and got to oggle the wetsuit clad surfers shamelessly. All in all, a perfect day.

Yeah, so, just feeling chill today. I'm at work, and shouldn't be on dA at all, but the call was too strong to ignore. Anyways, must get back to restocking. Bleh!

Love to ya!! Peace out!!

Yeah, my friend got this place, and the rent is totally doable!!! So celebrations all around!! Now all I need is my acceptance letter to Sac State, and I can get the HELL outta here!! I'm so stoked, you don't even know. Well, maybe you can guess...

It's just been one of those days. Just lonely, I guess. And tired. I was up til 4 last night, and then got up at 6 to get ready for my test. Such is my life.

Wrote a good poem though, which is always a plus. I just posted it in case anyone is interested in reading it. I'm think I'm going to veg out in front of the tv for the rest of the night.
Loves to all!

Er, yeah. Cold's getting better, but I've got a BITCH of a headache. That's what I get for staying up til four in the morning!! But I got into this book I was reading, and I wanted to finish it..... Lame excuse, right? Yeah.
