1. I am getting glasses. This is a) secretly kind of thrilling, because I was the nerd who always wanted glasses, and b) a little bit annoying, because my eyes have been killing me for awhile and I should have done something about it sooner. But yes. I am far sighted and I can pick the glasses up by next Friday.

2) Because I am an ever-enterprising ( Read more... )

I've only had three Philosophy and Society classes so far this semester, but I knew from day one I would love this course. First of all, the teacher is great--personable, reasonable, and interesting. Second of all, the topics we're going to cover are topics that interest and matter to me. Because of MLK weekend, we're kicking off the course with ( Read more... )

Oh, hi, El Jay. Long time no talk.

I'm sorry I've been so absent lately. I've been a bad LJer in general--the last month has been super stressful, to say the least. Thankfully, I finished my finals and am enjoying this first week of break. Tomorrow, my mom and sister get here, and I drive down to my aunt and uncle's house ( Read more... )

So, part one of Deathly Hallows was fantastic and nostalgic and I'm really, really excited for part two.

I'm crying right now.
I'm tired. I'm tired of my friends being raped. I'm tired of anybody being raped.  I'm tired of rapists going free. I'm tired of victims being terrified to come forward because this is the kind of ( Read more... )

Man, I hate registration. More specifically, I hate coming up with a schedule that somehow fulfills my requirements for graduation but doesn't bore me to death. Also, just once, I would like a semester where I don't have class before 11:00 AM. I am really not a morning person.

Right now I am trying to juggle some of my "core credits" and potentially ( Read more... )

I know I haven't posted in forever, but I just wanted to stop by and say happy Halloween to anyone who celebrates! I hope you're having a wonderful candy-filled day, and that your weekend was pretty epic.

If you dressed up, what was your costume? This year, I'm Hermione--albeit with the wrong colored tie. :( I could only find one with red and blue ( Read more... )

Okay, I'm probably late on this, but:

J.K. Rowling might write more Harry Potter?! 

J.K. Rowling might write more Harry Potter.
J.K. Rowling might write more Harry Potter.
J.K. ROWLING MIGHT WRITE MORE HARRY POTTER.

It is probably safe to say that this is the best "maybe" news I have ever heard in my life, and that a thousand OMGs punctuated by a ( Read more... )

Sooo. The last time I did a video post was a year ago, and I was seeing a couple people around my f-list doing them, so I thought it might be time to give it a try again!  (This may also stem from the fact that I'm procrastinating, shhhh ( Read more... )

What would you name a gorgeous, grey blue-eyed kitty?

Poll Cat names! Thanks, y'all. <3
