Sometimes my emotions are out of proportion or altogether incongruent with the current situation. At work we've started asking our customers for food bank donations which we do every year but I tend not to. First off, I just hate asking people for things. But even moreso, I hate their responses. Most of the time it's always some excuse. There ( Read more... )

I just picked up Duke from the groomers and the poor puppy had peed on himself while locked in the cage. That's sad and not funny, Ryan. At the gas station a creeper tried to buy the Tracker off me. "How much is it going to take for you to sell that to me?" I wish it was mine and that I could've sold it because I feel like he would've paid a ( Read more... )

I'm really glad I brought my laptop to school otherwise I'd be really bored. I finally met with an academic advisor and it turns out I really will graduate this year. I even taught her a few things about degree requirements, which is ridiculous. She said "wow you must have really read through this paperwork. Good thing..." Um yes, good thing ( Read more... )

I realized I have more graduation requirements than I thought, like however many upper level whatever, but nothing tragic. Next semester I will take four classes and graduate. I think. Should really talk to an academic advisor or something, as I never have. Horrifying to think of being done ( Read more... )

I have never experienced such a strong aversion towards a simple task as I do when I start to look over my classes and transfer credits. I successfully petitioned a few academic courses last year, but ever since Hideki told me my studios didn't have enough information I've been dreading it insanely. I threw the syllabi out long ago, so there's ( Read more... )

I have to admit, the Fourth of July is my favorite holiday. That seems congruent with some sort of country-lovin' hickfest, I know. It's not the patriotism that I get excited about, it's the fireworks and the cookouts and being up in the UP with my pseudo-family. As far as the beer-drinking, America-lovin part, not so much. I don't really mind ( Read more... )

I had this camera that was made out of a red TV dinner box. I think it was actually a Stouffers box, and I know this because I work in a grocery store, not because I'm a connoisseur of TV dinners. I think the basis of the idea was the pinhole photography class my friend Sarah is in, where they make cameras out of oatmeal canisters and the likes ( Read more... )

The Warped Tour 'headliners' are, I kid you not, the exact same headliners as when I went 10 years ago. How is it possible that a corner of the music scene has changed so little? Bad Religion, Anti-Flag, Flogging Molly, NOFX, and... Jeffree Star? Really? Jeffree Star, yes. So maybe not exactly the same.
