well, not now that the rain is gone (it's not, in fact it's still pouring outside and the weatherbug radar has the entire county covered in a solid block of red), but now that i have finally given in and gotten contacts. you know, those things i said i would never get (i am highly disturbed by the notion of placing anything on my eyeball, ( Read more... )

so, i'm taking a break from homework to bring you this Very Special Announcement:

i have a new ipod. it's shiny (well, only the back, which is a lot less shiny than my old ipod was) and black and silver and it holds 120 GB. 120. all those movies and tv shows and season passes that i so shouldn't have bought and did? can now totally fit on there. i ( Read more... )

so, since i'm bored, and leaving for college interview hell tomorrow morning (early! why? i am so not a morning person), i figured i'd play the ol' put-the-ipod-on-shuffle game and upload the first five songs that came up. dare you all to do the same.

take me to the riot (stars)
i'm not you're boyfriend baby (3OH!3)

 so, about That Show (aka smallville) and it's supposedly "epic, magical" season finale, i have one thing to say:

seriously?

you know, it wasn't even the content of the episode (well, not entirely) - it was the pacing that undid me. the whole episode felt so rushed. while i was watching, it felt like taking a roller coaster ride...on acid. i mean, ( Read more... )

High schools are miniature versions of hell designed to prepare us for the real thing.

That's the only thing I can think right now. Maybe in the morning  later I'll feel differently but right now? Yeah, totally not happening.

Homecoming was clearly the stupidest idea in the history of ever. It even tops "hey, Harry has some repressed never-had-a- ( Read more... )

So I've just reread Eclipse (cuz, just like New Moon, one time isn't enough to take it in) and I got that irresistable fanfic urge...which is why I'm working on one now. But since this book just screamed "fanmix me!" I gave in and...did. So, behold the fanmix...

Not of the midnight ride of Paul Revere, but of another tale, one long in the making.

I call it, The Tale of Rachel and the Unmentionable Locker Problem

You're intrigued, I can tell. So what are you waiting for?

It all started out wrong. Today's a Friday, and I'm normally good on Fridays, but not today. Maybe it was because this didn't really feel ( Read more... )

Ugh. I've been all over the place with this thing. I can never remember to upload my word count, you know? So I end up writing in notebook's in class until I finally have time to type the darn thing up. And this is with the new laptop. So responsible of me, huh? Sadly, I can't report fic is on the way, but then I thought, "Hey, wait, this is a blog ( Read more... )

I'm getting the phone! I'm getting the phone! *sung to the tune of Capt. Jack's Ode to A Jar of Dirt* Yes, that's right, my parents have caved. After many, many moons of lengthy phone calls and judiciously applied whining (which was fully deserved on the part of the whinees* I mean, my step-sib got a car) I am finally getting the phone. Okay, it ( Read more... )

We went to Williamsburg. But I didn't get the phone. Frank is doing better, but he has to take all of these meds. The trip was good. Found the best bok on colonial clothing and their attached meanings ever. It's What Clothes Reveal, the Language of Clothes in Colonial and Federal America by Linda Baumgarten. If anyone ever wants to learn about ( Read more... )
