Er, so. I'm alive. Very, very alive. More importantly, I feel, I'm at college, and have been for three whole weeks, which is mad. Awesome, and mad. And did I mention awesome ( Read more... )

Life is madness, y'all. Packing for college and being a shopgirl (where is my Cocky Bastard With a Time Machine(tm), eh?) and otemen arriving in less than a week, and getting ready to say goodbye, and still managing to find time to become hopelessly addicted to Doctor Who in the midst of it all. (Why did no one tell me it was written to play to all ( Read more... )

I did it! Give this woman her rightful place in the pantheon of culinary gods; I have succesfully made an edible... dare I say it? Possibly even tasty... dessert based entirely around-- eeesh-- tofu.

And lo! It was a great day for humanity.

Last night, a dream, in perfect clarity:

I am in a high-ceilinged room, entirely empty of furnishings except for a single chair I'm standing behind. There's something cold and smooth in my upraised hand. I know without looking that it's a pistol, high-quality and businesslike. I know, too, that I can use it.

Earlier tonight a disturbing thing indeed happened to me on the road. I was passed by a patrol car, but outfitted in green and yellow rather than black and white, and the block lettering on the side proclaimed it to be a "National Security Agency" vehicle.

As everyone probably already knows, it's the sixth day of June, in the year two thousand and six, which means the standard numerical writing of the date leads to 06/06/06. Thank God: for once, I don't have to worry about getting the month and day in the wrong order. I should go catch up on all the paperwork I can find ( Read more... )

So I'm leaving in two hours to go to the Summer Welcome at Austin Peay State University, which appears to be where I'm going to school, mostly by default. Well, I'll stay at my uncle's house overnight, and then get up early and go to the Summer Welcome, because of course the best time to sit down with your faculty advisor and plan out your future ( Read more... )

So, I've decided to try, at least, being vegetarian for a while, since non-organic meat seems to be a major factor in my chronic headaches, and I'd like to do without those as much as possible, particularly in college. Well, vegetarian isn't quite the right word: I'll still eat free-range eggs and organic meat (when it's available), and milk ( Read more... )

It's a grey day, unusual for May, a growling-thunder day, rain hissing down on the leaves. I woke up this morning with a burning need to hear the Safety Dance. I've been ill the past few days, but it must be worse than I thought.

Where's Madge then ( Read more... )
