A few of my thoughts on the season finale of Misfits:

Spoilers for Misfits episodes 5 and 6 under the cut! )

Finals are DONEEEEEE, and I got back home to my family late this evening. Yaaaaaay!!! Grades from this semester were surprisingly good:

A- in modernism (SCOREEEEE, considering all I did was BS for that class)
B+ in film production (again, SCOREEEEEEEE)
B- in poetry (whatever)
C in media law (ordinarily this would make me want to kill myself, but because it was freaking media law, instead I say SCOREEEEEEEEEE.)

Hey, I call this semester a win, rather than the epic fail I was convinced it was for the majority of the time.

Oh, and I've been bingeing on Supernatural over the past couple of days, big-time. I started watching the series a week ago and I'm already more than halfway through season 2 (episode 15, for those of you keeping score at home). I'm doing my best to keep from turning into one of those rabid SPN fangirls, I really am. And I know I do watch this show for more than the man-candy and occasional flashes of Wincest (the one I just finished watching had an opening shot that panned through one of their motel rooms, and you could hear Dean smacking his lips while Sam sighed, like you were supposed to think they were making out; but really Sam was just being emo and Dean was eating ribs or chili fries or something. But SERIOUSLY).

At any rate, I've decided I love this show in all its gory ridiculousness, even though I'm kind of afraid that this season 2 finale will make me cry my eyes out. (If you spoil me at all for that, by the way, I may be forced to kill you.) I already have nearly all the episodes stored on my computer to watch later, even though I haven't even watched half the series.

Also, by this point, Dean has grown on me a lot. Like, a lot a lot. I have a soft spot for tormented guys, what can I say? Though I still call Sam. Okay, I'm done. For now. =P

After 2 hours of sleep and an 8-hour train ride, I'm too tired to go on. Sleep now.

Oh, wait. Amusing family anecdote time.

Emily: Jane only has one kid because she said she got everything perfect the first time. So what's up with you having FIVE kids?
Dad: Well, you first four were practice. /Will/ is perfect.
Will: *is running around the living room* I want my baby back, baby back, baby back, RIBSSS!

Ohhh, Phoenix Phamily. *&hearts them*

NOW sleep.

I'm back, everyone!! I just got back today from 4 magical days at Disney (and 6 days without the interwebz, if you count how long it took me to get there and back. Which was sadface, but we can't have it all, right?). And, spoiler alert, I had an awesome time. Even though I think, by my count, this was my sixth trip to Disney World, it's consistently awesome every time you go.

And now I feel like babbling about my vacation. I uploaded this Megara icon special for the occasion, too! This could well be the longest blog entry I ever write, so hold on to your Mickey hats!

DISNEY!!!!!!!!! )

And now I'm back! I've got LOTS to catch up on, particularly TV shows and RP transcripts. If there's anything in particular you think I should read, post a link to it below, because I am NOT going through my entire flist. I'll just never get anything done.

But I love you all, and it's great to be back! &hearts

I am SO glad this week is over. You all really have no idea. I think severe, continual lack of sleep coupled with crazy stress levels screws with my head/emotions and makes me go off on crying jags over nothing. Good times.

I've got quite a few things to blog about today. I'll start off by talking about Glee, which was totally awesome and kicked the CRAP out of HIMYM this week, which helped cheer me up immensely. (I'm behind on the rest of my shows... will probably watch Castle and V and everything else later tonight or something.) Though while we're on HIMYM, I caught an extended preview for next week (I know, I know) and I already feel a bit more hopeful for the show as a whole. I think there'll be more fallout than there was this week, which can only be a good thing. Still hate how they handled the breakup (and the relationship) itself, but... you know.

Anyway, Glee!

You sing like a girl. You know, in a good way. )

RA stuff is going a little better, I think. Last night I was freaking out to Mezz about how terrible I thought it was going and had a minor emotional breakdown for reasons I couldn't quite pinpoint, but today I feel SO much better. I think it's partly because my 1-on-1 went a lot more smoothly than it has the past couple of weeks, and also that I'm planning a lot of programs for the next month or so, so I feel like I've got plenty of opportunities to connect with residents.

School... meh. Always busy, especially now that break's coming up. You all saw my deadly to-do list for last week... this week should be better, but not by a ton. And it was rainy and cold and nasty all week, which was highly unpleasant. I just wanted to stay curled up in my blankets all day, every day, but I couldn't because I had too much to do. I also feel like I'm getting a little bit sick, or that I have been for a few months, or something. I should probably get more sleep to try and fend that off, but... eh.

Also, my dad called me yesterday and told me that literally half my family -- my mom, two brothers, and one of my sisters -- has the swine flu, or at least flu-like symptoms. So I'm really hoping they all start to feel better and that this doesn't put any dampers on our plans for Thanksgiving... we're supposed to be going to Disney World, which is exciting! But I'm worried about all of them. =/

Happy Friday the 13th, everyone! Three months to my birthday, and (point of interest) tomorrow will mark the one-year anniversary of when I first posted my HIMYM games theory. It's strange to think about me having been so active on here for almost a year.

Dudes, this is my 200th entry!!

So since I failed at commemmorating entry 100 and I've been doing nothing but bitch all summer (or that's what it feels like, anyway), let's make this entry a bit more cheerful, eh? Even though my summer's going to be over tomorrow. After it kind of only started yesterday. But regardless! My new JFK icon is making me happy (as is Clone High in general), and I had a really good day today, and I just got some awesome fandom news, so I'm in a good mood! You might not actually get much emo whining this time! =D

Starting with my happy fandom news: HIMYM season 5 spoilers under the cut! ) Okay, I'm done. =D

Onto life stuff!
