Fall break redux: Birds of a feather!  
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.

EPE, RP, and TDI have taken over my M-I-N-D!  
Man alive, posts have been very few and far between this summer. Let's make up for that with a big, long juicy entry full of angst and squee.

Let's do angst first. AKA, my real life troubles.

( Yeah, yeah, more job-related -ness. )


Okay, I'm done with the griping. Onto the squee!

Spreadin' the love!  
If there is one person or more on your friends list who makes your world a better place just because they exist and who you would not have met (in real life or not) without the internet, then post this same sentence in your journal.


Dear Flisties,

I honestly love each and every one of you, whether we talk a lot or not. You all keep me sane, especially lately. If I ever meet any of you in real life, the first thing I'll do is hug you so hard you won't be able to take deep breaths for a week. &hearts

Love,
Phoenix XOXO


Wow, I haven't updated in a WHILE. But I don't have much to say, real-life wise. Right now, all that's going on in my life is work and the RP. Work alternates between dull and frustrating. The RP and everyone who participates in it alternate between awesome and awfsome.

Going to VA Beach this weekend for my cousin Ben's graduation. And for the first time in my life, I'm not looking forward to seeing them. I haven't seen them since Jack's funeral, and I don't know how I'm going to handle seeing them all again without him. It's horrible and selfish for me to think like that, I know, but... I am. Plus, Jack's trial's set for next week, and my mom's decided to stay down with them for a few days after the rest of us have left so she can be around for that, even though there's a good chance it's going to get delayed, since the guy who was driving the car that night is going to plead not-guilty when everyone knows that's bullshit.

I just want all this to be over. But I'm not sure it ever will be.

...Help?  
So I'm really lame, because my birthday's tomorrow and I still have no idea what I'm going to do to celebrate it.

I was hoping to go home, which I was super excited about, but I couldn't get anything to work out. Lame. So now I'm stuck on campus with half my friends abroad and with no clue of what to do for my birthday. I'm turning 20, which is kind of a big deal, though not as big as 21.

My staff was awesome tonight and surprised me with cupcakes when they pretended to call me about a surprise last-minute staff meeting (right in the middle of Lost, too). I almost cried because of how awesome they were, and because I'm about 83% sure that that's about as good as my birthday's going to get, since I'm too lame to tell people what I want to do.

There's just too much pressure to do something awesome, which is maybe why I can't come up with anything. That, and I'm lame. At the rate I'm going, I'm probably just going to sit home alone and watch Dollhouse or something. Sigh.

Suggestions, anyone? Because I'd kind of like to do something to celebrate the anniversary of the day I was born, but I'm having kind of a mental block (brought on by stress and insomnia and my general suckitude) on what exactly to do.

What goes better with crackfic than a heapin' helping of my unbridled rage?  

Drabble repost! =)

( Necrophilia )



Yay.

In other news, the word of the day is bitterness. Specifically over the crap situation I found myself in at the end of senior year. I wouldn't even bring it up now except that I wrote my nonfiction narrative on it, and it made me realize just how pissed off I was and still am. And now - guess what? - I need to rant.

Me + procrastination + teh grieving process + Thanksgiving = epic fail to get my work done.

Luckily, I don't have anything big due this week. And I'm going home on Tuesday, having FINALLY gotten a ride home for Thanksgiving (woo!) so the week is only really like... tomorrow. *looks at clock* I mean, today. I'd like to not have to work all through break again, however. That's no fun. So I'm trying to work now, since I'm wired after eating dinner at 9:45 after the dress rehearsal that would not die. At this rate, I'm not going to go to bed until 2, so tomorrow will not be fun. Well, it won't be much fun anyway because of the Chorale concert that, if tonight's rehearsal is any indication, will probably last for three hours. Gross. I'll be missing HIMYM either way, so... *shakes fist at the entity of Chorale* Curse you, love of music and sudden desire to be in a choir!!!!

I am, once again, experiencing writer's block. Well, maybe it's more I-don't-want-to-write-this block. We moved on to nonfiction in creative writing class, but I'm not really sure what I'm going to write about. I could always spin a family anecdote into a fun little narrative, but I'm not sure which one would be good. And not-confusing. Or maybe write once more about my love-hate affair with the tuba. I have a surprising amount of source material for having such a boring life. Plus, I still have to rewrite my short story, but I'm losing interest in the story by the day. No, the hour. The minute. It's bad. And I've resolved to have them both done by the end of break, plus part of my star project, a vocab list, some kind of drugs lab thing, and... probably that frickin' Second Life project. Seriously, it's ridiculous.

Twilight won the weekend. Going to bang my head against things now.

Yesterday we had Thanksgiving dinner at our faculty advisor's house... deliciousity! I got to mash the potatoes and make the gravy, which was exciting. I miss cooking things while I'm at school. Plus, I got all the leftover Crescent rolls, which were like 15 of them, so... go me!

Back to work. =P

Pushing Daisies redux: Like magic!  

I'm going to structure this FIRST EVER PD REDUX OMG as a series of open letters.

(Seriously, don't click in if you don't want to be spoiled.)

( Pushing Daisies spoilers inside... beware!!!!! )
Dear ABC:
If you cancel this show tomorrow (or ever), I will cry. For hours. And then go drown my sorrows in ice cream, which will be upsetting for everyone. Mostly for me. 
Sincerely,
concerned Pushing Daisies viewer

For real, guys. This show had better never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, EVER be cancelled.

Today we had a Thanksgiving dinner instead of an RA meeting (which is why I got to watch this show live for the first time EVER!), and at the dinner they had the cutest cupcakes that were shaped like different Thanksgiving foods, like mounds of mashed potatoes or corn or peas. And I got one shaped like a CHERRY PIE. For real: it had chocolate frosting, and then was covered in red Skittles and then had more chocolate icing criss-crossed on top. It was exciting; I took it home to eat during the PD episode. It wasn't that good, but it was preeeeeetty.

Some time this week I'm going to have to:
-Actually rewrite my short story, instead of writing pointless monologues.
-Write that short nonfiction assignment.
-And the longer one.
-Work on the star projects!
-Drugs... things? I don't know what's going on in that class any more. I probably have to write another paper, with my luck.
-Learn that seventh random Robert Frost song, since none of us know how it goes.
-Chorale concert!!
-Find a ride home. MUY IMPORTANTE.
-Second Life project? (Seriously, why do we have to do these things again?)

ETA:
Real life phone conversation with my mom and me:
Mom: Well, I'm going to go watch Top Chef.
Me: Ooh, I forgot that was on! I'm watching Dirty Sexy Money since I didn't change the channel after Pushing Daisies was over.
Mom: Oh. That show's pretty cute.
Me: It is sooooooooo cute, it makes me want to die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mom: .........

Just thought it was amusing. =D

More drabbley goodness!  

Y'all, I swear, this thread is the most addictive thing. IN. THE. WORLD. I've now written like... seven or eight drabbles in total? But anyway, I think these are the best, so I'm posting them here.

------------

( Prompt: Barney and Robin tell Ted. )
-----------------

( Ted's 31st birthday: the goat incident! )
-----------------

( Barney is Dr. Horrible, which is why no one knows what he does for a living. )
---------------------

Last one. (Angst ahoy!)

( Prompt: He felt as if someone was watching him. )
------

So, that's that. Because of this, I haven't gotten a whole lot of work done. I've got less than 2 weeks left to write a 20-page paper on Birth of a Nation, and I still don't have everything read. Oh, and did I mention the blank document that is my short story, due a mere week from today? And my drugs presentation due in a mere... 16 hours? Life's good. NOT.

Halloween is in 2 days, and I can't bring myself to care. It's been a while since I was really into Halloween anyway, but now I feel like I'm such a downer since everyone's got these elaborate plans for Halloween, and the most exciting thing I'll probably be doing is staring at the aforementioned blank document, trying to get over my writer's block. (OK, it's not so much writer's block as not wanting it to suck. But then, I read one in my class today that hurt my eyes, so there's a good chance that it'll be better than that one.)
 
My absentee ballot still hasn't come in the mail. I'm starting to think I sent the application in too late. If I don't vote, that'll just be one more reason to hate myself, since everyone from my mom to Neil Patrick Harris is all "Vote, dammit!!" and the election is 6 days from now and I STILL can't bring myself to care about who's running my own country since I've been burned out on election talk since like November 2006. (Though the "Don't Vote" video I found actually did make me want to vote for... someone. It was surprisingly moving... especially NPH's line. "I vote because I fell in love and I want it to matter." That dude's just made of awesome, and he made me cry once more, this time by being himself. Why do they have to say my vote counts, though? That's just too much pressure, because what if it all comes down to your vote, and you didn't know what you were talking about so you voted for the wrong person? Then you've become responsible for the decline of the free world, since the person you ignorantly voted for was secretly a militant dictator!)

Overthinking? Yes. Vote Nader!

In other news, I'm approaching levels of morbid obesity, and I still won't get off my fat ass to go to the gym.

Oh, almost forgot: today I used the phrase "true story" and made my friend laugh. But I don't think she watches HIMYM. It just made me happy, and I needed some happy news to end this post on.

Sweeney tomorrow!!!!! =D (Okay, more happy news.)

The Office redux: RAINN! Stop making sad faces!  

Seriously, how much more angst can I take from my shows this week?

( You're making a knife with another knife? )

Whoa, good TV week. Even though I'm only really following two shows. (Four, if you count Pushing Daisies and Grey's, both of which I watch online. And five if I ever decide to get back into Chuck. Which I probably won't.)

Onto my life! I got an A/A- on my poetry portfolio!! I'm super psyched about it too. Plus my teacher thinks my "Robin" poem should be a short story...? I don't think I will... too much overlap. But I'm seriously considering a Barney-like protagonist, since I think I've gotten so good at getting into his head. I need to escape this show's grip on me. But on the other hand... I'm having a real mental block about this short story, and if I don't come up with anything else I'm going to have to go with it. I was hoping to write a comedy of sorts anyway... something funny, but not so ridiculous that everyone asks me, "Were you on CRACK when you wrote this?!"

I finally saw Forgetting Sarah Marshall last night. I've now seen more of Jason Segal than I ever thought I cared to. Though I did like his character in the movie. And started to finally get over my girl-crush on Kristen Bell. Curse you, VMars.

Today [info]oopsgirlatsea and I were talking about Halloween costumes... if I dress up at all, which I might not, I'd be super excited to be Robin Sparkles. I peed my pants a little thinking about it. On a side note: when on earth is my Robin Sparkles shirt going to get here?!? I was hoping to have it by the Sandcastles repeat (which I watched today! XD).

HIMYM redux: NEIL! Stop making sad faces!  

So I'm going to switch it up a bit and talk about my life before I talk about TV. Yup. That's right.

Heading home tomorrow. It's kind of sad... fall break is WAY too short. I mean, four days to recoup from a hellish first seven weeks of the semester?!? Unfair, school. Un. Fair. But at the same time, I'll be glad to get back to my real life. I mean, the one that exists outside of my house and the magic box.

I went to lunch with my Oma today... it was really nice to just sit and talk with her. It's weird how the older you get, the more you get to know about your relatives' lives, and how they aren't as great as maybe you've thought. Like Oma and I were just talking about nostalgia for high school, and I said I didn't have any, since I was dying to leave high school since maybe halfway through sophomore year. And then she said she wasn't popular either and didn't have the best time in school, and how she never had any boyfriends, which to me kind of redefined her relationship with Grampy, at least in my mind. Like, no boy paid attention to her in school or cotillion, so she falls for the hot American soldier who notices her, and runs off to America with him and has his babies and spends the rest of her life taking care of him. I'm probably being really morbid and reading way too much into this scenario (as I tend to do with EVERYTHING), but my point is that you can learn things about people you've known your (literally) entire life, and that will change how you've viewed everything about their lives to this point. Which shouldn't be that big of an epiphany to me, but somehow it is. 

Also, my mom kept using four-letter words around me today. That was interesting. And by "interesting", I mean "OMG what alternate universe have I fallen into".

OK, onto HIMYM!

( I don't want to be all mushy-gushy romantic, but this weekend, Robin's the only woman I'm bangin'. )

Hooray for being home on break!!!

Sadly, it doesn't feel too much like a break. I have 7 (that's right, 7) books to read over the next few days FOR THE SAME CLASS. And then two others for other classes. Luckily, I don't think I have a lot of writing to do over this break - unless I want to start on my 20-page research paper. A-hyeah right! But still: I'd like to be able to actually take a break from school, during my breaks from school.

Also, I feel like my mom is scrutinizing me while I'm here: you know, seeing if I'm still losing weight, and stuff. Also, today we were talking about voting (which I'm still not convinced I'm going to do) and she tried to convert me from my apparently Communist, definitely apathetic ways to Republicanism. And while I might be leaning toward McCain anyway because he's adorkable and Obama is kind of phony and pretentious, I'd rather not have my parents proselytize me to their political ideology. Anyway, she was kind of mad I skipped out on seeing Palin. It's not my fault she came on the worst possible day for me, or that I had no interest in seeing her outside of "OMG it's a celebrity".

It's official: I'm kind of sick. My nose is all stuffy and my throat is super sore and clogged. It's wonderful (/sarcasm). I need to stop being sick and be awesome instead. =)

OK, I'm getting bummed out. So I'm going to take a cue from [info]dozmuffinxc and list all the positive things going on in my life now:
-I got an A on my creative writing midterm!
-And in Chorale!
-And an A- in drugs!
-Being home is always nice. I never realize just how much I miss everyone until I come home.
-I was able to spend the entire day at home. In a QUIET house. Such a rare occurence!
-I went to the mall. Today.
-At aforementioned mall, I found that elusive little black dress, which was the first one I tried on! And then I found cute shoes to go with it, which were the second ones I tried on. Shopping's never that easy!
-I made my mom laugh. It's been a long time since I made someone laugh using only my words.
-My sister made delicious friendship bread. (Have you heard about this stuff? It's like a chain letter, but with quick bread. Which is hilariously and deliciously awesome.)
-I saw a sneak peek of the upcoming HIMYM episode and it looks like it's going to be awesome! I'm going to force my sister to watch it with me. XD 2 more days!!!
-I FINALLY finished reading the Judy Garland bio, after a solid six weeks trying to get through it. And man, is her life depressing. I'm never going to be able to watch The Wizard of Oz the same way. Oh right, positive things. Um... I'm glad I'm not her.
-Because I have a cold, I finally have an opportunity to say, "My nose is just overflowing with awesome and I had to get some of it out."

That's it. Peace out, hombre(s)!

Doing drugs is boring.  

Which is why I'm posting on here. Again. Nothing's happened since Tuesday. Still an insomniac.

I hate drugs. So, so much.

(And by "drugs", I hope you know I mean my honors class. Though I hate actual drugs, too.)

HIMYM is both my drug and my anti-drug. Good lord, I need to go at least one day without watching an episode of this show.

Is it sad that I've seen "Slap Bet" about 10 times, and it still cracks me up?


4 days to HIMYM.

and 8 days to HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've lost weight. Time for pie!  

I'm buff, everyone!!!

OK, me being buff was a lie. Though I've been to the gym 5 times this past week when my gym attendance average is .000, and I think I've lost 5 pounds this week! Self-five! *dap*

So, I've had this thought. My obsession with pop culture is taking over my life, (as you might be able to tell from my strange above paragraph-- sorry. I've been watching too much HIMYM.) and soon I won't have time for anything any more. Like I decided yesterday was the perfect time to get obsessed with Pushing Daisies. (BTW: Weirdest show EVER, but so cute!) So now I've seen all the eps that they have online, and I'm about to read all the recaps so I can pretend I've seen every episode. And I don't have TIME to get hooked on any new shows! I've already got HIMYM, Lost, The Office, Grey's, and Project Runway... when is all my homework going to get done?! (Hint: never.)

So, I think the thing about Pushing Daisies is that it's too quirky to really be stuck in any one genre, hence its lack of viewership. And while it's great some of its actors got nominated for comedy Emmys, I'm not sure that's the best thing to define them as. Especially when Lee Pace is competing against people like Steve Carell... they're both great actors, but I don't really laugh at Ned so much. He just gives me the warm fuzzies. He and Chuck are so... Damn it, I shouldn't be fawning over this show when I'm trying to convince myself to stop watching it! Anyway, it's on at a bad time for me: smack dab in the middle of RA meetings. Sigh. So I might never really be able to watch it, except online. I will say that it's got a lot of good things going for it: basically all the actors, Jim Dale's narration, black comedy, pie. Only, I don't eat pie. But this show makes me feel like I'm missing out. Anywho, good show!

I finally finished S3 of Buffy! (That's not on my list of shows I watch because... hey, it got cancelled 5 years ago.) Some day, I will finish the series, and my life will be complete, and I can go back to obsessing over other shows. Yeay.

By now, you can probably tell I have no life, except for the things that exist in the magic box.

Lately I've started being better about being not-antisocial. I think. Still spend too much time running around. Or in my room, working.

This past week has been SUPER busy. I've been making extensive lists on Post-Its for all the things that need to get done that day-- on Thursday I had THREE Post-Its! Because that was the day of my not-even-mildly successful program, and I was about to shoot myself in the face to make the stress go away. I haven't gotten any time to sit and just be since last Thursday, which is probably part of the reason why I did nothing today. Except watch Pushing Daisies / Buffy. Oh, AND walk 10,000 steps for the first time in my life! What up!

So tomorrow I have to:
-Meet with my Astronomy group to talk about our massively boring Galileo paper.
-Start writing my drugs paper on... what was it again? *checks* Apparently, the impact of the cocaine trade on the stability of the Columbian government. Huh. Sounds profound.
-Ponder how to write an un-love poem. Because there's no way I'm leaving this one for Thursday again. Psht.
-Do review terms for my film class through Chapter 10. Actually, looking at it, it doesn't seem that bad. Thank goodness I've kept up with them until now! Go me!
-Do my October bulletin board! Geez. It just never ends. Why can't they just be satisfied with the one I put up already? It's a good one... sparkly.
-NOT spend any time on TWoP. I'm almost sorry I ever discovered that site. Almost.
-NOT watch any Pushing Daisies. Good thing I finished all those today.
-Go to church! w00t!
-NOT eat everything in sight in my room. Or anything in sight in my room. Id > superego.
-Go to the gym!
-Call my mommy. =)

How on EARTH has October snuck up on me so dang fast?

2 days to HIMYM. XD

I'm still alive? What?  

Yes, I'm here. I just haven't had any time at all to post my thoughts on anything. Has anything of note even happened in the past week outside the realm of HIMYM?

Oh yeah: Project Runway isn't moving to Lifetime anymore. To which I can only say: YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In other Lifetime-related news, HIMYM is apparently going to syndication there. To which I can only say: Booooooooooooooo. Stupid Lifetime. But at least it's in syndication somewhere! Just wish it was on TBS.

Oh right, NOT-HIMYM stuff. Hm....

Jim and Pam got engaged on The Office!!!!! I only wish I had been more excited when it actually happened. A few months ago I would have been over the moon, but now I'm just... meh. Barney and Robin are currently taking over my squee capacity. Sorry, PB&J. The episode of The Office was pretty good though. Best non-proposal part? The fact that Pam's an RA! Yeah. I found it thrilling. Now she's even more like me than she ever was before! Stuff I hated: The stuff with Kelly and her eating disorder was extremely unfunny, however. It made me sad. Also, the fact that Ryan's back. I wanted him to rot in prison with his meth habit and stupid goatee.

And I still hate Jan. And Michael was stupid for tearing up the tickets Holly gave him. He's so clueless! And not in the insensitive way like he normally is!

And BTW, calling it now: Angela's totally preggers with Dwight's baby. And things will get NUTS.

---

OK, HIMYM. Best episode ever!!!! Well, not really. Definitely a good premiere though. I've watched it 6 times already and read the TWOP recap three times, and I still don't think I'm sick of it. I love basically every Barney scene (that voice mail will never not be funny... nor will his posture when he talks about not wanting to be Robin's boyfriend, but wanting to hold her hand and smell her hair and all that other clingy coupley stuff). I could watch the last scene all day... the look on Barney's face when he's looking at the TV? Sigh! He's going to break my heart this season, I can already tell. Yes: I'm going to cry like a baby over a show that has a laugh track. I'm such a degenerate.

Plus, Robin TOTALLY knows Barney's into her! What's the deal, Scherbatsky?!? I think we all need to know more about what's going through her mind, now that we know all about Barney. Here's what I think: Lily needs to tell Marshall how Barney feels (if she hasn't already done so), and then Marshall needs to lawyer Robin to get her to confess that she loves him too. That would be amazing.

Oh right, main character. Ted and Stella are so doomed. But I knew that pretty much from the get-go, so I'm okay with it. Also, I hate Ted, so his problems don't concern me that much. I appreciated all the Star Wars jokes, even if I'm not a huge fan. Liked how they dealt with the idea that they still don't know anything about each other. Which, B the W, doesn't make any sense for Ted. I mean, he badgered Robin about EVERYTHING when they were going out (hence Robin Sparkles and the slap bet - yay!), yet he doesn't know his fiancee is allergic to peanuts, or what her hobbies are, or that she's a Mets fan, or that she hates Star Wars?! I thought the writers were better than that. Hopefully they'll clear things up in the next few episodes, however. (My theory: Ted is, once again, so desperate to get married that he doesn't care who he marries. Which is, in a nutshell, why I think Ted stinks, with his ways, and his head.)

Waiting for Lily and Marshall to have more to do (mostly for more Marshall... he was hilarious in this episode).

And that's all I'm going to say about last week. Might live-blog tomorrow night's episode though! (Or make my own recap...)

Onto my life. My dad and brothers came to visit this weekend and I was worn out by them after spending only 2 hours with them. I've forgotten how exhausting it can be just to be around Luke and Will. Though I definitely enjoyed seeing them, since I haven't for two months. That could have been part of the problem: they were super hyper from having me around, and I had forgotten just how... spirited they could be, so it was just weird. Yes, I do analyze everything. To a fault.

Also, I'm fat.

That is all. (Because I have homework to do now.)
