So I got some strings (viola strings) in the mail today, and they each come wound up in a circle (maybe about 3-4 inches in diameter) and stuck in a little envelope.  To ship them, they gather up the little envelopes and put them between two pieces of cardboard with a bit of tape so that they don't get gunked up in the mail.  And I get these ( Read more... )

Hey, so I know I'm never really around on LJ ever.  I have conflicted feelings on all of the processes associated with things like Live Journal, but at this moment, I feel that I have something share.  It requires a little bit of a backstory, I guess, which is something that you probably already know about me if you've spent much time with me.  If ( Read more... )

Ok, so it's just about 1am on a Saturday night and I get a phone call from unfamiliar number.  I pick it up and some middle-aged guy says "um, uh, I wasn't expecting such a cute female voice - is this Mark's number?" and so I say no and I ask him how he got my number.  Evidently it's in his phone.  Under my name.  And I have no idea who he is (he ( Read more... )

Look! My roommie made me a new icon-y thing! Hooray! She has evidently been spending too much time with the photoshop fun, while I have been wasting time on a variety of non-constructive things. Aw man, now I feel guilty, heh.... But yay for the pretty picture!

Oh yeah, just thought I'd post this for anyone who randomly comes around - everything recent is pretty much friends only. So yeah.

Holy fuck. The math professor sent out the answers to the midterm and now I think I did worse than I thought before. Like fucking wow.

Ok, because I'm boring, I'm just going to copy-paste some stuff I think you should read ( Read more... )

Woo, my yarn came in today and one of the balls in a near perfect match! Backstory - I started knitting this sweater like about a year ago, knitting furiously for less than a week at a time, and then leaving to sit untouched for three months. It's a solid color sweater, in a shade called lagoon made by Rowan yarns (it's one of their cotton glaces ( Read more... )

So I had my first viola lesson since mid-May today. I've been feeling recently that I'm losing it... like I'll always have bad practices. You know what I mean - sometimes you practice, and everything is great, and you sound fine, and other times, no matter what you do, you hate the way you sound, you're watching the clock, nothing gets better. I ( Read more... )

I'm feeling a little bad about the guy in my writing seminar who I said was full of crap, because I think he's caught on to the fact that I don't like him too well and now he seems kind of... aloof/mean. Since I don't really like him, it shouldn't matter to me that he thinks I dislike him and now dislikes me, right? Well, I'm silly, and now I ( Read more... )
