ramble ramble ramble
01. First off, I want to welcome my new friends to my journal! Thanks to an FNL friending meme and my own Gossip Girl meme, I've met tons of new friends. I stared to list them all out here but whoa there was way too many. So HELLO to all twenty of you.
02. I started classes back on Monday and it was the worst day I have had in a really long time. I have four back-to-back classes so I am in literally in class from 9AM-9PM. I knew it was going to make for a long day but I had no idea all the classes were going to suck so hard. I'm really dreading my semester. Intro to Programming is going to be death of me. The real reason I took Writing & Rhetoric II was because of the professor who is no longer teaching it. Sound for Interaction is full of Audio Acoustics majors and the entire class just went way over my head. 2D Imaging is the only class that has potential but I'm trying not to get my hopes up.
Suffice to say, once you add on the fact that I was exhausted (thank you, roommates) and hungry (damn me and my underestimation of hunger), it shouldn't be all that surprising that I ended up crying on the kitchen floor. I broke my favorite mug (the one Chris gave me for Christmas) and it was kind of the straw that broke the camel's back. Of course, my roommate just ignored me from her spot on the couch but Chris came over soon after and that boy is always good at cheering me up. Plus, he helped me with my Sound homework since he's an audio genius.
03. Thankfully the rest of this week went better. My Tuesday morning class was pretty straight forward and had Blair in it, so that's a plus. I got to eat Thai for dinner and hang out in the student lounge with my friend Rachel afterwards, which was a lot of fun. My Wednesday morning's class was super easy and semi-interesting but more importantly, it was my last class of the week so I don't have anything to do now until next Monday. Or, well... I have plenty to do (a shitload of homework, FASFA crap, some errands, etc), I just have the ability to do it in my own time, which is sweet.
04. Fandom-wise, the capstone to my shitty Monday was checking my email to find that I didn't get the Draco/Hermione fanlisting. GREAT ENDING TO THE DAY, LIFE. I know I haven't squeed about them in forever but they have always been an OTP of mine and, more importantly, they were my first ever unconventional ship. I'm just really sad because I've waited years for a chance at that fl :(
05. I'm working on a new challenge community, because I really enjoy running choco_cherries, so if you're at all into any aspect of fan fiction, could you please go fill out this little poll?
06. MY ROOMMATES CLEANED THE APARTMENT. Apparently there is a kitchen sink under all those dishes (WHO KNEW?!) and our bathroom countertops are apparently white (MIND = BLOWN). In all seriousness though, everybody should duck for cover because this means the apocalypse will surely be here any minute. is completely serious*
07. I HAVE THE BEST BFF EVER. A couple months ago Blair asked me if I liked fan fiction, completely out of the blue. I was all *blinks* "uh...." for a second before I finally spit out "yeah... why?" He was super cyptic so all I could get out of him was that it had something to do with my Christmas present. I had like two months to think about it but I was still shocked when I opened the gift bag to find three books. He bought me Every Nine Seconds, Never Tear Us Apart, and Always Have, Always Will!!! There prequels to the series and they're full of awesome, not at all like those crappy 'novel adaptions.' They fit with canon perfectly but it answers so many questions I had about little mentions made throughout the show. I'm kind of in love with them.
08. Would anyone who has it be willing to upload 'All I Need' by Radiohead for me? Pleeeease? I'd really appreciate it x a lot.
09. Speaking of music, I uploaded two Modest Mouse albums as part of Ginger's (ginger_noodle) Christmas present and they're up for download here if anyone else is interested in them.
10. Last but not least, if you haven't pimped or participated in the Find a Shipping Friend Meme for Gossip Girl, please do so! It's still going strong but I'd love to see more people join in. Unlike all the other memes I've done, there haven't been as many participants but waaaay more actual friending.
