I shifted uneasily from side to side, glancing at the roping lines of people surrounding me, the glacially-moving attendants, and the giant sign ten bodies in front of me. It read '20 minutes from this point,' so I figured I had another 20 minutes before I reached that sign. It was the second of three lines I'd have to wait through. I shouldn't be ( Read more... )

Next semester I'll be cross-enrolled at USF and HCC. All because I didn't sign up to take a stupid test early enough. All pre-mass communications majors have to take the EDT before beginning any real mass comm classes, and I was supposed to take it before fall semester ended. Because I didn't have a money order to pay for the test, I couldn't ( Read more... )

Rush, rush, rush. Run, run, run. That's what I do, and I don't accept it when my body tells me to slow down. I'm back on antibiotics, and I'm back to being sleepy with swollen glands and a sore throat. Apparently I'm not contagious, but I'm just relapsing a little. I'm hoping that my body will be understanding that once again this is major project/ ( Read more... )

Nobody will probably read my nearly-1,200-word behemoth on Mixed Martial Arts tomorrow, but I'm proud of it. I gave Carl Greco-Ognibene one last chance to answer his phone (I was already 5 hours past deadline, but the Oracle knows I'm reliable, so they weren't worried.), and to my surprise, he did! I got in a quick interview with the middle-weight ( Read more... )

Ever have one of those days where you seem to fail at every social situation? It's not that you don't want to be around people; it's just that every word you say comes out all wrong? That's me today. Well, that's part of my social ineptness ( Read more... )

Teddy Geiger at the Garage made my weekend. I don't care that my apartment's empty and my family's gone for the weekend and all of my friends are so far-flung; I'm just in awe of that show. The local band, Auditorium, was all right, but the audience wasn't feeling it so most of their stuff fell flat. William Tell, however, was nothing short of ( Read more... )

I came home today to the rancid smell of rotten eggs, the sight my fallen-down Halloween decorations, and there was a letter for me on the kitchen counter, stating that I was to be evicted on October 18 because I owed $126.18 in unexplained charges and an additional $90 in late fees. I wanted to scream at the top of my lungs and drive away. I ( Read more... )

Despite the Mono Week of Death and subsequent massive piles of makeup work, survey says...it's good to be Candace. I'm the kind of mutant freak who gets into these modes where I start to feel like there's no way I can handle everything I have due, and then - for a very short period of time, mind you - I morph into this work-obsessed person who can' ( Read more... )
