At this point I'm generally assumming that I didn't get the job, which may be a bit premature, but gack! I hate waiting. Plus, even though he said I interviewed really well, he also mentioned that I am ( Read more... )

GOD I feel like doing karaoke. NOW. Why're all my otaku friends halfway across the continent when I need them?

At first, I wanted to go to China for the next school-like year. But sadly, my first choice for that didn't make it, and I haven't really felt like applying for any other programs. Or doing homework.

Fowaaah. My right foot is now the size of...something big. Er. Even with my last perkiset (ahem, perkisets) being a good six hours ago I still feel rather faint.  I woke up at six, to the happy song "Shut Up and Smile," which I think could be a nice theme song for my life...when I get a little saucier. ^_^  Half an hour later, I was sitting in ( Read more... )

I can't sleep. For some reason my heart is beating an erratic 96bpm (I'm usually healthily-ish around 70, probably LESS when sleeping...) Stupid anxiety. Or maybe stupid sugar. Who knows. Either way, I feel like I've had caffeine injected into my system somehow, only caffiene doesn't usually effect me and goodness knows I haven't had anything ( Read more... )
