well, Scott's off for another 3 week refinery stint, leaving me to fend for myself for almost a month yet again! it sucks missing him for that long (even though he'll be home now and then since he's not too far away), but i gotta say...living on my own while i'm in school is sometimes better for me. i'm more likely to get my homework done in an ( Read more... )

you know how on facebook and netflix and all those things, they have a spot for you to rate a movie out of 5 stars? it's been bugging me lately, it's so simplistic. you can't tell if people are rating the movie for how good is is, or how much they personally liked it. that's what always stumps me when i go to rate them. like, i think Titanic was a ( Read more... )

New Yorkers/Northern Jersey friends: it looks like I'll be up at QXT's on Saturday night. anyone going to be out? maybe we can rendezvous at some point.
