Compliments!!
I figured this was worth an LJ entry~
So I'm taking this class titled THE USES OF MEMORY: FICTION AS AUTOBIOGRAPHY/ MEMOIR AS FICTION (hilariously convoluted title + all-caps from the CCS website + ??? = profit). My professor, Prof. Albert--I figured she didn't like me for lots of reasons, chief of which being... I have A LOT of opinions. I have ( Read more... ) -
Spoilers: I never use this LJ
TAKE THAT, JAPANESE MIDTERM. MAYBE I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SAY "GRADUATE" IN YOUR IMPOSSIBLE LANGUAGE, BUT I WILL SURE AS HELL DO IT ANYWAY.
Also:
Anyone who has talked to me recently might have gotten the impression that I am stressed out! This is, unfortunately, true. This quarter is kicking my ass--not necessarily academically, as I think I've got all ( Read more... ) -
Another question!
How does one go about getting a job on campus? I'm talking about coffee shops, library work, office filing stuff--anything entry-level that would be likely to be open to someone with pretty much zero experience. Is there someone I should be buddy-buddy with? Are there emails to send out? I wanna get the jump on this, since next quarter starts in ( Read more... ) -
Hello, new people.
OKAY so I have friended a lot of friends... recently... god when you say it like that I sound like a bit of a tool for not doing this earlier. Of course you friend friends, Hilary. Good heavens. A-aaaanyway...
First order of business is suggesting places to get cool icons, I feel like this place needs a bit of a shape-up. I mean I haven't posted ( Read more... ) -
The Neil Gaiman
@neilhimself: Just talked writing to UCSB lit students for 90 Minutes. So fun and so much enthusiasm and smarts. And I was hugged a lot at the end.
SO GUESS WHO JUST MET THE NEIL GAIMAN.
I got there two hours early, and was totally alone in the theater, surprising no one. When even my ever-prompt mother texts me to say "Oh honey, that's just sad," ( Read more... ) -
My bad entirely.
Yes, it has been forever. Yes, I feel bad about it. Yes, it is probably gauche to have my first post in a month to be a Christmas wishlist.
I think we all know where this is going.

Snippits of my life.
Yeah, I think you all saw this coming. I really can't be bothered to update all that often, but since stuff is actually happening to me, this entry is super long. Compromise?

Hooray!
The audition last night went really well, I thought--and hey, apparently the people in charge agree with me, because I got called back for some cold reads tonight at six! YESSS I am excited for these party times.
Also, something that interested me: after my monologue, the man I assume to be a director asked me what year I was. When I told him that I ( Read more... ) -
Playing into the stereotype.
I have come to understand, in my studies of contemporary pop culture (read: watching television) that college is a time of discovery. Even though I've spent maybe two weeks here at most--it's becoming deviously hard to keep track--I have already learned some stuff about myself. I'm sure you're all thrilled to hear about it, and since there's very ( Read more... )
