Typically, I have several thousand tabs open at a time. Well, more like 10, depending on what I'm working on/using to procrastinate with. As of right now, I have 14 tabs open, although two are the same picture of Noah from As the World Turns, aka My Glorious Gay Angst-Ridden Temporarily (?!?!) Blind Husband. Click for the pretty.

First tab open is always Facebook. I flip back and forth between mine and Ted's several times a day. Next is usually LJ, which I check CONSTANTLY. Then I have my Elon webmail, since that works better than my regular email, usually. Also because it has the emails that are most important. These three tabs are refreshed constantly, and probably constitute the majority of my internet routine. Sometimes I'll have multiple LJ tabs open, as well (such as the flist, the RP comm, and assorted fics). And I wish I could have both Facebook accounts open at once, but sadly, I cannot.

And then there are the random tabs I open all the time with Youtube videos, Wikipedia articles, Google searches, random things people send me, and the like. I also regularly check TWOP, EW, imdb, and homestarrunner.com, though I tend to forget this last one exists. Except for when there are finals, in which case I tend to watch all 500-something web cartoons over again. Oh, and most recently, Twitter stays open in my tabs, since I just got one and keep checking it.

This is fascinating stuff, I know.

( Real life stuff! )

The HIMYM and TV redux will come later. Probably tomorrow. Because right now I really have to blog about real life stuff. Specifically (because I can say that word, HAH), my fall break and awesometown weekend with LARK!

( You're a real person!!! )

Brief school stress before I go: I checked my midterm grades, and while I do have a surprising A in modernism (YAY!!), I have a D in media law. A *D*. That doesn't include my last test, but I don't think I did too well on that. My only hope is to do amazing on my remaining test and last two written assignments (one of which I have due on Thursday), learn how to actually write a legal argument, and to study my oversized ass off for the rest of the semester. If I do that, then I might end up with a B. But I'm obviously not doing enough for this course at the moment, even if I feel like I understand a lot of the material. I just have trouble retaining it, I guess. That, and my writing style is too rhetorical. Whatever that means.

Oh, and I have a C+ in poetry. What the fuck?! Do reading quizzes really count for THAT much of my grade?

(B in film production. About what I expected. And hey, I have the alphabet on my report card at the moment. I am very displeased by this.)

In other news, my MSN hasn't been letting me log on tonight. This makes me sadder than it probably should. Guess I should go to bed so I'm not dead when my family parades past me tomorrow morning at 7 am to say good-bye, since I'm heading back to school after they all leave for work/school.

You guys remember that video game Lemmings, with the little green-haired dudes that you had to get into their hole by making them dig holes or build stairs or otherwise not walk blindly off cliffs?

As of right now, I am one of those green-haired dudes, blindly following whoever first posted this meme. Hopefully one of us doesn't get bored and make the rest of us supernova. (Also, hopefully I don't get 10 "Ted Mosby"s.)

the I AM meme


ANYWAY. Since my list worked out so well for me last week, I thought I'd make another one for this week, just to help myself keep on track. But I'll be on fall break by Thursday at 4 pm, so yaaaay! And I'll be going home AND meeting darlingchaos on Friday afternoon... EXTREME YAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!! ^_^ ^_^

[x] Write lit midterm -- 4 questions, 1.5 pages each
[x] Watch 1 film (Cold Mountain, Fargo, Truman Show, Undercover Brother)
[x] Write 1 film critique (Psycho, Cold Mountain, Fargo, Truman Show, Undercover Brother) -- due Wednesday, 6 pm!
[x] Study for media law exam
[x] Law exam Thursday!

That's actually a pretty short list. But each item is pretty time-consuming and stressful, especially seeing as most of it has to be done by Wednesday. Anyway, watch this space to see the items on my to-do list disappear. It's an interactive blog entry. *unenthused* Yaaaaaay.

Exciting things, just to end on a positive note: New HIMYM tonight! New Glee Wednesday! And I'm really, really, really, really excited for the weekend!!!!!!! I get to go home AND meet Lark!! Wooooooo!
