birthday
...was wonderful. There is nothing like being woken up at midnight on the dot by a chorus of friends that sing to you.
There was a surprise party later, though I already sort of suspected it (friends suddenly changing their plans on you because they forgot said plans are supposed to be a surprise -- "Hey, Julia , want to come with me to pick up some ( Read more... ) -
i love it when people excitedly tell me that my initials are a word, like i didn't already know
Trish: Hey! Dave! Did you know Julia's initials spell out "JAB"?!
Dave: Oh, do they? No wonder I always feel like she's going to punch me whenever she wanders by my office.

choose your destiny
Over the weekend we ended up playing a lot of Kung Fu Panda (no, really guys. Kung Fucking Fu Panda. --It came free with the XBox360 for the holidays probably because no one in sound minds would actually pay money for it, and even though I could have gotten Sonic with the Pro whatever package, I decided that the sole reason I was gonna shell out $ ( Read more... ) -
pearls of wisdom (before swine)
I spent the entire weekend thus far watching the entirety of The L Word's third season (no, I haven't seen the first or the second. Yes, I'm still confused as to why Jenny is so batshit crazy.) Between me, two lesbians, three bisexuals, and two straight people, we have determined the following rules about relationships:
1. No one can just be happy.

What is a Julia?
What is a Julia? Well, a Julia lives in a house, and around a house. If you are very careful, you may see her filled with folly, dancing in the moonlight. If you see her once, you are sure to forget her, but if you see her twice, you may forget to forget, and that would be a very bad thing indeed.

yes, that's really his SN. No, please don't actually IM him.
So Jared is a black belt at the UMass dojo, my mentor of sorts (and sempai, of course), who takes karate very seriously and generously guides me in whatever ventures I set forth to do. He is 28 and has a serious and lucrative career as a chemist, and makes very nice furniture-type things out of wood in his spare time. And sometimes when I am in ( Read more... ) -
It's not a piece of cake to bake a pretty cake
Everyone has something to do at the wee hours of the morning when they have pressing assignments due the next day and early morning classes besides -- something that doesn't actually involve productivity, that is. Mine happens to be ruining perfectly good things.
I had a cake mix and container of frosting sitting in my room for... well, the entire ( Read more... ) -
so I just had the worst cup of tea of my life
12:10~ish: finally finish making some kind of first attempt at accursed discrete math homework (how the hell am I acing this class without understanding a single thing?). Decide I am kind of thirsty, not sure what I want though. Think about getting some water. Decide against it as I have no clean cups.
12:15: Wander around room for a minute looking ( Read more... ) -
yes, hi, mother, hello.
Bad things do, in fact, happen to me. If you invited me to complain about anything I wanted, I would have to sit in stony silence for an hour to figure out where to start. Life is not always sunshine and kittens and unicorn farts; I don't think you realize I grew out of this mindset before I was eleven. I'm sorry that you feel I'm too optimistic, ( Read more... ) -
inadequecies ii
So I had a conversation over the weekend with The Boy on the phone, and we talked about the usual things one does to a boy of capital letters. I noticed last Friday that he had been limping a little after karate training, and thinking it odd that he was not making his usual habit of announcing his misery very loudly to the world at large, I asked ( Read more... )
