I enrolled without (another) hitch! I am so excited! And I have things being ordered. ORDERED!
I start on the 6th of October (only 2 weeks, and I actually do wish it were sooner), and the first day is an orientation- so I get my stuff, and I only have to be there for a few hours.
Anyway, I'm so happy that the whole thing was straightforward, and I' ( Read more... )

All right, so not everyone believes in astrology, but you absolutely cannot deny how absolutely fucked up the last month or so has been. Almost everything that can go wrong, has. I have had a week where all I wanted to do was sleep, and it was followed by some horrible insomnia. Trying to move has been a convoluted mess, and I've been having the ( Read more... )

 I recently made the mistake of researching crickets. Somehow, during my experience with the knitzi cricket, I had forgotten the Wikipedia search that horrible things usually lead me to do. So, curiosity unsatisfied, I had to look. After all, I reasoned. How bad could it be? Crickets are harmless!
I read through the article, until I found this:

 Stephen King is taking over my life- or at least my  vocabulary. Specifically, Lisey's Story- that book has so many vocabulary inundating phrases, it's unreal. Babyluv is a big one, these days, even though there was a period of a week or two that I had to constantly stop myself from using the word "smucking"- as in, "That's smucking fantastic!" I' ( Read more... )

Well, lately I've started going for early morning walks, provided I'm awake and feel like it. Mom thought this was a great idea, and asked me to see if she was awake sometime, so she could go also. I haven't gone with her the last few mornings, so I decided last night that I'd see if she wanted to go today ( Read more... )

So, the knitzi cricket is gone, but he still follows me!
I seem to still think he is around, so I am a little jumpy, even in non-cricketed areas. 
I found these in my inbox:

I've sort of realized that, over the past few days, I've developed a really interesting bond with this cricket. I see it and hear it all the time. I think about it when it's not around. I talk about it. I anticipate its arrival and have a general understanding of its habits. I call it the knitzi cricket. IT'S LIKE WE ARE IN A RELATIONSHIP. What a ( Read more... )

 So, I am sitting here , waiting to try out tscheese 's flashlight trick, and it's just hit me-
I AM SITTING IN THE DARK, WAITING FOR A CRICKET TO GET HORNY.
(Update: no chirping yet, I'm waiting a bit longer to see what happens.)
Update:
I sat in bed for about an hour with the lights off. No cricket sounds. Finally, I turn them back on, feeling certain that ( Read more... )

Well, guess what started chirping its bloody fucking head off when I was thisclose to being asleep? If you said last night's cricket (AKA the bane of my existence), you are CORRECT!
I don't even know where it is right now. All I know is that it is looking for love- so loudly that I can't figure out where it's at because it sounds like it's ( Read more... )

Well, I won't be sleeping (or using that purse/its contents) ever again, so I will continue to post.
( Anyway... )
