This house-sitting gig is sweet. Wireless internet and satellite TV. w00t.
I need to get cracking on this thesis thing. Also this grad school thing. Murgle.
Borrowed from various:
--Why not take this opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself. Any old thing at all. Just so the next time I see your name I can say: "Ah, there's so and so...she/he wears mismatched socks." I'd love it if every single person who friended me would do this. Yes, even you people who I know really well. Then post this in your own journal.--

Well, here I am in beautiful Columbia, S.C., where it is ninety-two degrees and a million percent (conservative estimate) humidity. I hate southern weather.
My family is here in force, and I very much enjoy 98% of them. It's the other 2% that gets me. We managed to get through the rehearsal dinner without undue incident, though, which is good. These lame-ass Baptists didn't even have champagne for the toasts. Cheap bastards. Sparkling grape juice just isn't the same.

HOORAY!
O Frabjous day, calloo, callay!
Two happy things:
1. Andrea fixed my comptor! It was indeed an overheating problem, exacerbated by the fact that one of the fans was completely clogged with dust to the point where it wasn't spinning. So she blew it out and got it working and de-spywared and anti-virused everything. Plus one laptop cooler later, he is a happy camper and runs fast even when he's a little hot. Yay Andrea!
2. Andrea gave me WOW! I can now waste my time far more effectively. Yay Andrea!

Law & Order: SVU marathon. Yes! Except it's damn cold in this basement, as always. Ironic, considering I spent last night dying of heat. I ask you, what kind of sadist puts flannel sheets on the bed at the end of May? Answer to rhetorical question: my mother. But the screens are up now, so I will be fine tonight.
Big accomplishment for today was knitting a glove for my mother. It came out pretty well, I thought, especially considering I was hybridizing a glove pattern and a mitten pattern from scratch.
I am a acheever!

Oh. My. God.

As many of you well know, this has been the busiest semester I've ever had. I had six or seven hours of rehearsal in a row sometimes. I tried to keep up with my homework and such, but I was definitely behind there at the end. My paper grades were uneven, I was apathetic and procrastinatory . . . I was fully prepped to take a minor grade hit. Nothing life-destroying, just a bunch of B pluses, but I was actually worried it might be enough to disqualify me for honors, despite the magic of GPA inertia.
But . . .

I must be smarter than I thought I was.

Or better at sucking up.

I even somehow managed to wring an A out of Dana Burgess. Damn.

I ate food, and then I felt better.

Also, Aspen's party (what I attended of it) was a smashing success.

And Gordon got me a Keane poster! It's keen! Sorry, sorry. Please don't hit me.

Graduation makes me sad because all you mos are leaving. Bah. Stupid leavey mos.

And now Aspen is gone, and Ruty has already gone, and I am lonely.

The actual busy icon has an expression that is not AT ALL busy.

Moscow tomorrow . . .

So yeah: http://www.livejournal.com/users/superquail/45098.html

It was freaky as hell.

History paper: 7 1/2 pages.
Needs to be: 12 pages.

Back again I go . . .

Query:
For those of you poor unfortunates still awake, do I:
A) Take my Greek final tomorrow at nine, despite the very real possibility that I will pull an all-nighter,
-or-
B) Take my Greek final next week when I will have forgotten everything I know?

Pros to A:
~I am prepared to take it in the sense that I have studied my ass off.
~One more thing over and done with.

Cons to A:
~Having to take it on little-to-no-sleep.
~Losing a potential week of studying.

Pros to B:
~A week to prepare.
~Getting to sleep in a little, maybe.
~Getting to sleep at all.

Cons to B:
~Forgetting everything I know.
~Laziness will prevent studying.
~Don't get to sleep anyway due to stupid history paper.

Edit, 12:01 PM: I took it this morning. Probably failed, but it's done now.

Boys are silly.

So am I.

This presents a problem.

Edit, 2:07 PM: Jesus, Mary, and Joseph! No crush, people, no crush. Just random flirting.

Ren Faire = done! Yay! And we sounded so GOOD. I was very impressed with my singers. Next year, on to six parts . . .
And I have purchased eyelash curlers and other girly accessories for Mikado. Well, and some just for me, but who DOESN'T like clear lip gloss. C'mon.
This is the best lullaby ever. My dad used to sing it to me.
Must go de-babify baby wipes so as to not get taunted by others.
