So here's what I did during exam week...
Last year for Christmas, I got the complete Adobe Creative Suite (insert massive squeeing here). Unfortunately, what with one thing and another, I've still only played with a teeny tiny fraction of what the programs can do. So, being the procrastinator that I am, during finals, I started playing around with Photoshop trying to learn some of the ins ( Read more... ) -
Joplin, MO flattened by tornado
My grandparents live in the little SW Missouri town of Joplin and many of my relatives live within a couple of hundred miles of the town. It's where my Dad grew up and my parents met. This weekend was graduation at Joplin HS, the school my mother graduated from ( Read more... ) -
The State of Virginia
I resent the fact that someone I voted against can pursue courses of action that have the potential to directly and negatively impact my life. I understand the concept of majority rules just fine, thank you, but I'm still pissed off that I have to deal with this asshole and his cohorts in charge of the executive branch of the state government for ( Read more... ) -

WTF WORLD?? It is snowing. Hard. Like, covering the ground even though it was supposedly in the 40s yesterday hard and showing no signs of letting up in the immediate future. What the hell? I'm on SPRING Break in S.W. VA, for god's sakes. Yes it's ridiculously early for break, but it should not be snowing. Except for the fact that it's the ( Read more... ) -
Damnit
My roomate is drunk and vomiting. The people responsible for getting her drunk are having what sounds like a bachelorette party right outside my door. I have a dress rehearsal for a choir concert at 9 am tomorrow. I hate my life and I hate dorm living. Goddanmit. -
move-in grumbles
I'm back at school. Classes start tomorrow, and I'm still not unpacked, and probably won't be unpacked until next weekend. I hate the move-in schedule. I also have no air-conditioning, because effing disability services LOST MY DAMN PAPERWORK!!! GODAMNIT!!! So now I get to resubmit the fucking paperwork. Damnit. -
NaNoWriMo
Remind me why I'm doing NaNo again? Oh, that's right, because I'm insane. And I'm horribly behind on word count because I sort of killed my vision over the weekend and was too busy on Wed to get much written. So this weekend, I'm going at least partially blow off my research projects for word count. I will probably regret this in the middle of next ( Read more... ) -
A non-angsty update
I just looked back over this journal and realized that A.) I don't post very often (surprise, surprise) and B.) looking at just my LJ, you'd think I was a terribly angsty person. And I'm really not, not now. Sooo...here it is; An angst free update ( Read more... ) -

College
Obviously, I'm now at college, at Mary Washington to be precise. I'm liking it ok, my roomate is glued to the phone most of the time, but when she isn't, we get along pretty well. I like most of my classes, although anthropology would be better if I liked the professor, and I'm dreading the Faternity Gang Rape book that we'll be reading later in ( Read more... )
