Re:No internet since yesterday.
Thank you oh so much. Without warning my internet in my room got cut off due to YOU not informing me that it would be cut off then if I did not register my compooter on the system. And thanks again for not turning it back on today even after I registered and info said my port should be active. Wonderful service.
Screw you

"Don't Cry for Me Argentina~"
Hehe, watched Evita tonight since the Spanish class was having an open-to-all students showing of it. I can't figure out which musical I like best, but this has got to rank up there on the list. It's got such pretty music.*_* And the movie version is surprisingly good. ^_^ If only the speakers hadn't been having so many problems...:/
Bridget went home yesterday. :( It was fun seeing her, tho. We had much fun just hanging out and serenading people with old cartoon songs while at brunch at the cafeteria. I don't just mean me and her, I mean all of my friends that were here this weekend sat in the cafeteria at brunch on Saturday and sang I don't how many old cartoon songs. Then we went back to Jessie's room and listened to those we sang and more on her computer. Ah, nostalgia. ^_^ And I'm starting to remember exactly how I got through senior year of high school without killing myself thanks to all the fun at mealtimes this weekend and since. If I were a cat, the hair on my back would finally not be standing up now. Yay.
I got a nice surprise in my mail today: my mom sent the Duo/Hiiro doujinshi up quite promptly. I believe it arrived on Saturday, I just didn't notice it until today.^^;;; See, we get package slips here due to having boxes and the slip had been well-hidden by other crap cluttering up the mailbox. I highly dislike having a mailbox partner. Tonikaku, I got to look through and giggle over all the funny and cute moments. ^_^ I'm also sure I'll enjoy the vitamins mom sent along with it. I'm still inclined to chuckle over the fact that she unknowingly sent vitamins along with a yaoi doujinshi, though I'd be laughing much more if she'd sent my monthly batch of hormones (needed due to a condition that leaves me with very little in the way of fem hormones) along with it. As I've said before, my mind has found a gutter, albeit a very shallow gutter, that it likes to play in. Doushiyou~.
*yawns* Well, 'tis late (for me) and I am tired. I end the randomness here and say: Goodnight. Monday, October 8, 2001,10:37 p.m.
Hmmmmmmm...
Posting twice in one day, an unusual occurrence for me. However, I'm still somewhat awake after drinking some Wild Cherry Pepsi before watching Apollo 13 with my friends and want to get some of this down anyway, so here I am.^^;;;
Apollo 13 is goooo~d. I guess I say this because I watched it for fun and not because it was something showing at school. Darn those teachers for ruining good movies by making us associate them with school! XD I joke, I probably would have felt the same had I not watched it for school. I wasn't very into the "deeper meaning" stories at all of 14 years old. It's actually a really good movie, and I might just try to obtain a copy one day. *is willing to admit that whatever she buys often depends on her mood at the time*
Oh, and today we went shopping. :) I know own the fifth volume of FY (translated)^______^ Amiboshi finally shows up!! XD In case people couldn't tell who some of my fave FY characters are, they're the Boshi boys. And Amiboshi makes his first appearance in the fifth manga volume, albeit disguised as Chiriko, but it's still him, so I'm happy. And I'm also doing the happy fangirl dance just because I found so much stuff at the comic store we were at. They have an FY wallscroll and Episode Zero manga. *_* Now if I can just get some money and they still have 'em there...*crosses fingers* Talyachan, you're so lucky to have all the FY episodes. I only have select VHS in the expensive Pioneer subs. >_>
Tra-la-la, I'm trotting off now so I can get some sleep so I can get up early to do laundry tomorrow. Hopefully I'll be able to get everything done relatively quickly. And get my muse unstuck. I need it for Creative Writing work. Saturday, October 6, 2001,11:37 p.m.
Ohayo~ Gozaima~su!!!
*looks at time* Wow. Up before 11:00 and have already done some homework. And I call myself a college student.^^;;; Oh, well, to each his or her own. Woulda blogged on other days, but I got an assignment for CW that I wanted to at least get ideas for on Thurs., and Bridget (a friend that graduated last year) is visiting us this weekend so I was busy last night. We (me, Bridget, Mike, and Jessie) went to The Olive Garden for dinner. ^_________^ (Wheeee~, no cafeteria dinners for us this weekend.) Then we came back and watched Who Framed Roger Rabbit. I haven't seen that movie in so long that it was almost like watching for the first time. Funny movie for the most part, and I liked it, though I have one question: Since I'm 20 years old and KNOW it's "just a movie," is there any logical reason that I should be distured by the part where Judge Doom puts the squeaking shoe in the Dip? I can't remember it bothering me that much before...*sighs* As I get older in years, I get younger in mind. :/ Though I can still watch Mortal Kombat and other such movies without blinking an eye. *is somewhat confused by this fact*
Another curious fact: I seem to be losing my ability to handle big groups. I mean, I don't like crowds anyway, but I'm usually able to handle whatever-size groups of friends. I prefer smaller groups or hanging out with only one other friend, like me and Megan watching Sailor Moon in her room yesterday, but everyone together at once usually doesn't bother me. Until now. Maybe it's because I'm used to the crew at home where we all hang out together very rarely as of late, or maybe it's my reaction to the stress of adjusting to the new environment/school stress. Whatever, I kinda hope it'll clear up soon, because my friends up here tend to like hanging out as a group.
And I'm going to cut things short right there. I'm actually not in a bad/complaining mood, just reflective. I worry too much^^;;;; Having Bridget up here is great, and we'll probably have a lot of fun hanging out today.^^ Anyhoo, I'd better go. I hear friend-type people outside in the lobby of the building this 'puter lab is in. Saturday, October 6, 2001,10:45 a.m.
Hisashiburi desu ne~.
And once again it's been almost a week since I've written here. Sorry 'bout that, but the weekend was nuts and I'm just now recovering. Not from hangovers/trippage/whatnot, but just from being so busy. Though there was much hanging out with friends, which is a good thing.^^
Friday was anime viewing night. I showed people the first vid of Slayers (subtitled, natch) and the Yuu Yuu Hakusho movie. Everyone liked Slayers, YYH was a little too shounen-animeish for Megan's tastes. Which is all good. In between the two videos we played a game of Past Lives, this board game I brought up. Complicated game, I will explain upon request.
Saturday us girls went shopping thanks to Megan and her car. ^_^ Food stuffs good. Then that evening Jessie helped me with the new layout you see here (Thankies muchly Jessie^^) and then we all met in her room to play Dreamcast games. Sonic games, to be more exact.I had fun doing the racing part on one game and playing Sega's answer to Mario Party. ^_^
Sunday was spent hanging out, doing homework and all that good stuff.
Monday was the usual school day, and that night I went to hear my CW teacher give a talk. All I have to say is: WOW. No wonder the lady's so respected. She's good. I, and hopefully a lot of other students, got an eye-opener on what it does to teachers to see us come in hungover, half-asleep, or whatever. Not that I've ever done that, and she wasn't just preaching at us. She was just speaking from experience and appealing to our better judgement. She also explained that, as a creative writing teacher, she needs us to be totally there, not just physically, but mentally. Otherwise it's pointless. She said what other teachers have tried to express over the years, and what I've heard people say about jobs: You need to be there. Only, she said it in such clear, plain terms that it stands out much more in my mind. My favorite quote? "No one can fill the you-shaped hole in the universe but you." The talk started out being about drugs(Ecstasy in particular), which she despises (I'm refraining from giving my opinion here), saying nothing good was ever written under their influence, and current events, but it got to be a lot more. The talk seemed longer than it was, and shorter. She talked about a lot, but made it so interesting the time didn't pass by slowly. And I'm not just bragging on one of my favorite teachers here. I mean it.
(For the uninitiated, teachers and other guests often give talks or such things here and we have to go to 25 of those over the course our four years here. Plays count, too, and they usually try to make them interesting, so it's not as bad as it sounds. I went to a ton last year, wonder how many I have left.)
Tues. and today were fairly normal, I've just been unable to blog 'till now. Today it was brought to my knowledge (via e-mail) that my GW doujinshi arrived at my house and will be sent to me whenever my mother feels like sending it. I'm going to call them tonight (was going to anyway) and tell them to send it tomorrow or when they send my meds up for me. As long as it's up here before parents' weekend in November...

Hooooo~.
Long Thursday. Veeeery long Thursday. But not in a bad way. In a very very good way, as a matter of fact. I went for an interview for a job at ye old health center, *crosses fingers* had a blast at creative writing class, went for a walk since the weather was finally warm enough, ate dinner with friends, and helped out at the table us GLBTSOers have set up about the upcoming AIDS Walk and AIDS awareness in general. Very fun, all of it (even the interview, since Lori, the doc at the health center, knows me, is a sweetheart, and all-around kicks arse.^_^), but the best part was creative writing. I haven't laughed so much in a while, and if there's something I've been needing a lot of lately, it's laughter. Plus Di Seuss (the prof) just rules. We all love her muchly, yeswedo.
Does it seem odd that I like my professor and think she's cool? Surprisingly, I like all the professors I have this quarter and it looks like I'm actually going to have a decent time in my classes. ^_^ That is, as long as I keep professors happy with the quality of my work. *remembers that she, unlike Cher from Clueless, cannot argue her way up to a good grade* Soooo...off to contemplation of what to write for CW (If anyone wants copies of stuff I scribble out, let me know, ne). And stuff for Shakespeare. After responding to stuff.
Talya-chan, I'm glad you're feeling better!*hugs* And I absolutely loved "Diamond Dust." ^_^ You did a great job showing exactly what was going through Laguna's head and it was just a good story. Well written and all that good stuff. As far as being non-yaoi goes, thassallgood. It allows you to focus on more of the character than their feelings for their partner, their relationship with their parter as determined by other aspects of their personality, and other such things inherent in any yaoi writing. Or any writing in which a romantic relationship plays a major role. *shrugs* At least, that's what my suddenly-turned-tired brain can think up.
Yeesh, forget about working tonight. Caffeine from coffee during CW has worn off and bed is looking very attractive. G'night all. Thursday, September 27, 2001,10:49 p.m.
Finally...
I get to put things into my storage locker and get my room free of unneeded packing materials. ^_^ Though my locker number is 69. Is it just me, or is that rather laugh-inspiring considering my penchant for reading the occasional yaoi ditty? *laughs* Oh well. Maybe instead of pondering that I should work on getting my mind out of the gutter. Apparently it's found one it likes to play in. *does not yet know whether this is a good, normal, healthy thing or a bad thing* Wednesday, September 26, 2001,10:10 p.m.
Hurricane.
That's kind of what events lately remind me of, mostly because I've been running around and not had much time to sit down before today. School year start time is very busy, yes it is. But I have successfully messed with my schedule, gone on-campus job hunting, gotten a storage locker, bought my books, and gotten a petition to get out of the P.E. requirement here. This is all aside from moving into my room, unpacking my stuff, and going to classes. I think I'm about ready for 10 hours sleep tonight if I can get it. Otherwise 8 hours will do. Whichever.
Meef, what else can I blab about here? Classes look interesting. I'm in Shakespeare, Classical Mythology, and Intro. to Creative Writing, all of which are right up my alley and look interesting. ^_^ And my Creative Writing teacher kicks arse!! ^________^
Well, I shall now run off to a GLBTSO meeting. Ja~!! Tuesday, September 25, 2001,06:41 p.m.
