Quite frankly, I'm quite disenchanted with you. Yes, you. All of you, actually, but namely Bleach. I think it's because we've been in such close proximity to each other for so long that it was only a matter of time before I began to notice your flaws, your chinks, the skeletons lurking in your closets. All of these are becoming more clear to me, especially as your social circle widens, and I miss the good old days where it was just you and me, baby.

( Don't cry, it's not the end of the world. )

Possibly the last one on this account...? I actually need to go work on ohcapri a bit after this so it's, ya know, usable. Instead of sitting like a dead fish in the water.

I got tagged by sodanielle!!

( Three Things of Everything! )

*I quit smoking before winter break so my mom wouldn't tear me a new one. but i've been really stressed the past few days and just smoked my first cigarette in weeks and GODDAMMIT i want another one sooo badly. but now i feel like shit and smell like a smoker and ;alkdjf;alkjdf i feel like such a quitter for not being able to suck it up and not be tempted.

Blood and Chocolate movie:

I hate you with the burning heat of a thousand suns. I was stupid enough to watch five of ten parts of you on YouTube until I skipped to the end and confirmed my assumptions. You know, I can't even say you ruined the book for me because you are nothing like the book. Your creators have taken the names of the characters and the "werewolf/loup garoux" theme and created a whole different story with a horrible ending. I realize you were trying to prove that love can transcend species barriers, but really...no. Just, no. Even the characters relations are different, as is the setting of the movie. Who the hell decided you should be based in Romania, or that Rafe is Astrid's son? In the book, Rafe and Astrid were practicing the horizontal mambo on a fairly regular basis. Please let me know so I can shank them.

In addition, Vivian working in a chocolate factory? Proves that you totally do not even understand the concept of the phrase "blood or chocolate?"

I hope that the Twilight movie is nothing like you.

Hoping you die a terribly mangled death in a fire,

Me.

New bannah, new bannah!

Thanks to bff_icons for it! I have my Too-san whipped. :DDD

Even though Hitsugaya was able to prove how "special" he was in his own side chapter, I still love this spread.

Also, my New Year's Resolutions:

1. Be more healthy. Work out, lose weight and actually KEEP it off. I'm not overweight really, I'm just insanely short so I just look a little...plump right now. A few weeks in the gym and I'll lose it. I turn into such a gym rat, no lie. In addition, I eat stuff that I really shouldn't. I need to eat more salads and less Chic-Fil-A. Damn you, campus food court. >:[

2. Go home from college less often. I need more of a social life liek whoa. I love going out to the bars and flirting with the boys, but I'm too much in love with my dogs mom to stay away from them her for too long.

3. Keep up my 4.0 GPA so my parent's will still let me go to France in July.

4. Get a boyfriend. I need some lovin'.

What about y'all?

OMG MY FEET ARE KILLING ME.

( My work is LOLarious! )

So now that my LOL factor is filled for the day [it's interesting how it's funny now that the day's over and I'm reflecting, but while I was working...not so much], I'm going to go off and write some.

How was y'all's day?

Omg, I feel like Jazzy right now just typing that subject line. ;-;

( Fandom Debt )

Other than that, I got a job working for my aunt down in Laurel, about an hour and a half away from my house. I hate that I'm basically going to have to spend four days out of the week away from my mom during the break, but I have to. Apparently noone in Jackson wants to hire me. This isn't helping my inferiority complex.

My mood theme is very funny right now. It makes me miss the Pre-SS days and Rukia's hilarious drawings with her This Is Srs Business attitude. Oh, HM arc, you take the hilarity out of my fandom and replace it with amazing plot. I'm going to have to go back to Ouran for my giggles now.

Ahhhh I just got my final grades for my first semester! I got straight As! I feel so happy and proud of myself cuz I had some BITCHES of classes. [bitches of a class? How exactly would the grammar work here?]

More important than the self-inflating vanity and pride of my own intellectual prowess is the fact that I'm above the required GPA to keep my academic scholarships. If I drop below a 3.5, I lose something like $1,700 a year. ;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;

Anyway, what's going on with y'all??

Seriously, this is why I don't abandon the internet. I just had to go 140 entries back in my flist to catch up from the past 2-3 days.

WHAT THE HELL?

So, most of it was crap and fanficrants posts [except for magicalcow's amazing Byakuya post], but still: the very idea of having to spend TWO HOURS sorting through my internet life.

*head --> hands*

k sleep time now...

I have both of my finals today: Intensive Elementary French and Calculus for Decision Making [aka, the math class from hell]. After I finish those, I have to write a research paper for my International Studies class and I've already turned in my portfolio for my English class.

I could technically leave for home this afternoon, but I'm sticking around until Thursday to basically party. I don't go to the No. 2 Party School for nothing, people!

I haven't checked my flist in so long. Please let me know if I've missed something! [I'm looking at you, sodanielle, syneiam, and overtoned]

Hokay, very fast right now before I have to do school work stuff. I've been off of school for a whole week and am just now starting homework--less than 24 hours before my English class.

Anywho:

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 4-7 sentences on your LJ along with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest (unless it's too troublesome to reach and is really heavy. Then go back to step 1).
6. Tag five people

"Emeralds would suit you better, I think. Do you like emeralds, Isabelle?"

"They are green, no? I've never owned much jewelry. I do have a betrothal ring from Hugh. But I suppose I must give it back now, must I not?" she said impishly, and John laughed.

-The scene from Here Be Dragons, by Sharon Kay Penman where 32-year-old King John offers his fiancee, 12-year-old Isabelle, a necklace. He's caught with his hand down her bodice two pages later. It's a kickass book; I've gotten halfway through it in the past week. FIND IT, READ IT, EMBRACE IT! Nothing's more kick ass than reading about 13th century Wales/England!

God, I love thinking up cliche titles for my posts. XDD

Anyway. School's out for the week, and it feels fucking amazing. I'm not even going to lie. My brother is flying in from Virginia to see me and mom for the whole week, and that's going to be great...until we get sick of each other and start bickering.

I'm going to use my free time this week to write fic. Because I have all these different ideas running through my head and I haven't been able to sit down and just write in forever. And no offense to my beloved anime/manga fandoms, but as kick ass as y'all are, I think I need to...branch out, shall we say?

In college wtf-ery news: I was unceremoniously dropped from my INST 207 class, which puts me down to 12 hours for next semester. I went to go see my advisor, who said I should take some other class, but I'm still pissed because no matter what class I end up taking, I'll still probably have to double up on my INST classes. Ugh. I hate being in such an intensive major sometimes--I've already got enough stress just being in Croft, why add any more?

AL;DDJFA;LJFA;KDLDF;JDA'SDJ!!!

New layout and banner! I'm so excited! adirtytrip colored the banner for me, and hellogoodmornin supplied the layout.

I will do a proper entry later but...I have a fable to write. No, seriously. A fable. And it's due in an hour.

In light of my uuber-difficult calculus midterm on Thursday that I will be failing and my French exam tomorrow, I am spending my time doing memes. >DDD

List ten things that have recently made you happy and tag ten people [Do I even have ten people on my f-list? I am horribly unpopular. BNF I am not. ;-;]

1. Manga in general. Bleach has risen from the dead, there's so many wonderful OTP7 moments in Ouran, I've completed reading Fruits Basket, and I've caved and begun meandering through Death Note and [possibly] D.Gray-Man.
2. My pets. My dog is an idiot, my mom's dog is so needy [we must throw balls. all the time. or else.], my white cat is the biggest bitch evar and the most fun to mess with, and my fat, fluffy kitten is so chill...it's like he's perpetually high on weed life.
3. sodanielle/adirtytrip's new photoshop skillz. [srsly, danielle, you think I'm kidding, but I'm not. I fangirl all over your style.]
4. My roommate joining Kappa Alpha Theta. I'm so happy that she's happy. And I get to eat free food when I go with her to the house, eat all the candy from her Big Sis that she doesn't want--namely Milk Duds. YUM--, our room looks even cuter with all of her KAO crap, and she's out of my hair for hours a week while she's doing sorority stuff. SCORE.
5. I'm going to France next summer. And it's going to be BAD. ASS.
6. I have to work all winter. I don't know why this makes me happy, but it does. Maybe because I'll be making money? Whatever. All I know is that I'm anticipating it.
7. School being over in two weeks. Count it: this week, off for the week of Thanksgiving, one more week of class, and then finals! And I only have two finals.
8. Screw it, Bleach is getting it's own number. BLEACH IS BACK! We can move out of our Corners of Wibbling/Mushrooms and embrace the idea of there actually being a light at the end of the tunnel! There have already been amazing Kurotsuchi and Byakuya moments, which should be iconed and talked about to death because, seriously? when was the last time this story needed saving so badly? And the Bount Arc doesn't count.
9. I'm seeing my brother on Saturday. What's even better, his little awkward friend is coming with him. John's awesome by himself, but Zack's so...fun. He reminds me of L--not as smart, but in the fact that he stays in a room with a computer, playing video games, and literally squints when he goes out in the sun. And he's so tall that he slouches a lot. It's official...I want to read Death Note now. Even though the fandom scurrs me.
10. The JKR wank has made me LOL quite a lot. Wank in general just makes me happy. I enjoy watching people froth at the mouth. Which is why I enjoy Syn's IchiOri commentary so much. XD

Yayes, done! I've been in such a bad mood lately; I wasn't sure if I could have found ten!

Dear Costa,

I mis.heard. you. Seriously. I mean...I'm trying to log in to a computer on a guest account and listen to what the teacher is saying. So when you asked, "Who here is in the Honors College?" yes, I did raise my hand because I thought you said, "Who here is NOT in the Honors College?" Simple mistake--anyone could have made it, especially with your accent and pissy voice.

So, when I say, "I'm sorry, sir. I misheard you," please don't bitch me the fuck out. No, I was not "following the crowd" when I raised my hand, nor did I "not listen." I mis-fucking-heard you. I also won't "jump off a cliff if everyone else does."

You're not even my teacher. You're the tech guy for the Honors College who hasn't been home to Russia in eleven years.

Get over yourself.

Glaring at you,

Me.

( Cut for IRL ramblings and such. Beware of angzt. XD )

And all of that was without mentioning family drama! *fingers fall off nao*

ETA: I apparently have a paper due tomorrow based on 200+ pages worth of reading and I haven't started the reading or (obviously) the paper. ;-;

Dear Man In Charge of Changing TV Channels At My Gym,

Hey. I was watching that. Now what am I going to ellipticize to for the next 45 minutes? It doesn't help that you changed it from the ever-amusing South Park to some lame-ass wrestling reality show on SpikeTV.

No Love,

Me.

WHUT? DUMBLYDORE'S GHEY???

I'm really not that suprised. lo...l?

This just makes me wonder what he was really thinking all those times Harry was alone in his office.

This is for overtoned, who, a long, LONG, time ago, requested either a self-insert or a Mary Sue parody. Well, Kaasan orders, and I obey. I apologize in advance for this fic, for some characters have unfortunately been harmed in the making of it. Also, there are some references to crackinfusion, because I am a good daughter and I pimp the comm like that. XDDD

There's also a Mind of Mencia reference. Am I the only one that watches that show?

Anyway...plzdon'tbekillingme
