I don't actually have a smart answer for this one. I just wanted the stupidity to spread.

One of five grad school applications is in. \o/ Of course I have to send other stuff, but it's a place to start.

ETA: Although I can't remember who I sent my GRE scores to and how much money it's going to cost me to resend them to everyone. ;_;
dramaturgy: ([House] I'm proud of you.)
So I haven't updated much because honestly it's been kind of low-key around here, but today I finally have good news, so here's what's been going on in the last week.

1. I worked two days in a week for the first time in a long time. I love pretending like I'm going to be a contributing member of society.

2. I joined [livejournal.com profile] westerosorting and am working diligently on finishing AFFC so that I can get my app in so I can find out what great house I belong to. \o/

3. I am taking my second GRE on Saturday and I have been relearning how to do algebra, geometry, fractions, and learning about statistics and probability so that I can do better than I did originally. I also wish that I could somehow inherently improve my essay writing skillz like a mofo but alas I don't think it's going to happen. I'm just going to have to make sure that I'm doing my best.

4. On the TV front, my mom has started watching Dirty Sexy Money with me, and my dad has taken to watching Heroes with me so that he can make fun of me when I make noises and yell at the TV. I also finally finished Angel (I liked it, but not as much as I liked Buffy -- it had its moments, like Smile Time wherein Angel becomes a puppet). Joss always kills my favorites, though. The bastard. :( With Angel behind me I no longer have an excuse for not writing Reneesme Cullen/Connor Angel-slash-Reilly I can now watch Doctor Who and Torchwood, which I have started to do -- Doctor Who, anyway. I'm making myself wait for Torchwood (WAH). I think I secretly adore Christopher Eccleston and I want a TARDIS for Christmas.

5. There were many lolz to be had in RP last night. LOLZ are the only reason I do anything anymore.

6. I was contemplating doing NaNoWriMo because I really, really want to and I have an idea and everything, but I'm just not sure. I don't want to start it and be on track only to not do anything for three days in the middle of the month and then boom get behind and discouraged. I might do it anyway, since I don't have pile of homework and three term papers like I have in years past. >_>

7. One reason I love my Movie Gallery job: I get to talk about movies and be paid for it. My co-worker and I last Saturday talked about scary movies with basically every customer who came in and wanted a copy of The Happening, which we can't seem to keep on the shelf. She can't do them at all, and my problem is that I can never seem to find one that's scary enough. The last one I saw that I was truly scared by was The Blair Witch Project which -- okay, say what you want about that movie, but when you're twelve, watching it in the middle of the night because you know your parents wouldn't let you, and watching it in the dark lest mom and dad become suspicious... that is a fucking scary movie. I did not want to get up off the couch to turn off the TV. Maybe I'm too cynical for scary movies, I just end up thinking, "Man. That's lame," and I inevitably get bored.

8. Friday we were all ready to go to my brother's play(s) and then BAM my sister called my mom and asked if anyone was going to come get her. It was her fall break, except she had neglected to tell anyone this until that point. So we changed our plans and went to Cedar Rapids to get her. I took her back yesterday, and reminded her to tell us the next time she wanted to come home. I'm glad that we got to go to CR, though, I love road tripping with my family because seriously. Some of the stuff that happens when I'm out with all of them I could not make up if I tried.

9. Finally, I got that job I interviewed last week for and I am going tonight to do paperwork. \o/ I am going to go crazy but you know what, at least I will be paid. Not particularly well paid, but still paid.

I think you can pretty much tell what kind of shift it's going to be when the first customer of the night walks in and asks, "What's on the ham and cheese?"

I received a baby shower invitation from Heather today, for her new son, Milo Allen.

Milo.

Also, am sad to report that the digital picture shows no tentacle. Pfft.

Also, the location is listed as "Angie's House". Angie is her sister. I don't know where her sister lives, I don't know anyone who does. >_<

I do love Heather, but she is not the brightest crayon in the box.

Also, had a huge tire problem involving running over a nail and driving with a near flat tire that I apparently share with [livejournal.com profile] griffen, but luckily, my tire did not require replacing, as they were able to patch it. Hope things go well, loff. ::hugs::

No 1 setn me reviews 4 my storry!!!!!!!11!!

I mean, er, hello everyone.

Today was the history class's field trip to the University of Iowa library. Oh my God. 4 million books. You think I would have died and gone to Heaven. Mark, Katie, and I wandered the stacks for an hour, but it's all passed into a blur. I think I could live there for the rest of my life and still not read them all.

While at the library, we saw a brochure for the National Socialist Convention in Chicago or summat, and jokingly were all out for going. I just cranked up my CD player. I mean, please, that'd be like me going to the Republican Convention. And then when DJ and Adam yelled out the window at protest-looking people that, "The war's over you dumb fucks!" I told them to sit down and shut up. The entire class, teacher included, predicted that I would be arrested at least once for inciting a riot before I was 21. Gee, thanks guys. So who wants to make bail?

I also found out Heather's due date, May 21. She said she's getting nervous, but I expect she would be. But she's going to Iowa City to have the baby, and the University hospital is one of the best in the state. I should probably get it a little toy or blanket or something for him/her/it (hey, considering the dad, it wouldn't surprise me if the kid had a tentacle or two [but no kid with tentacles could compare to the angel that is Simon Jr., loff]), since Heather's been my friend for only, ever.

Prom is in three days. Eeeee. ::is excited:: I hope things dry up around here before then, though, otherwise my feet are going to be all wet in the ballet slippers.

I saw "The Devil's Own" yesterday, good movie, but I have a question: what was Brad Pitt's REAL name in that? Frankie or Rory? I got the impression that Frankie was his real name, and Rory was an alias (because that was on the passport), but he was listed as "Rory" in the credits, and I'm all confused now. :\ Usually if someone goes by two names in a movie, they'll say "So-and-So/So-and-So".

Speaking of the devil:

The Dante's Inferno Test has sent you to Purgatory!

Take the Dante's Divine Comedy Inferno Test

Although there were a few badly worded questions, I felt:

Can you see yourself engaging in treason against your country?

What I consider treason, or what Ashcroft considers treason?

Do you enjoy violent movies and video games?

I don't go to the movies because they're violent, but I don't say, "I can't see that movie! It's violent!"

RPG meme )<lj user="guitarmack" ain't gonna know what hit 'im...) 12b) Would you ever.. a) Play a prostitute? Yah. b) Play a musician? That's not exactly a stretch. c) Play an actor? Again... d) Play a homosexual? R!Katie's bisexual. I think it's mostly because I would feel like I wouldn't be doing justice to my character more than anything else. e) Play a pedophile? Er, no. I have to draw the line somewhere. f) Play a politician? Yeah. g) Create a character for the sole purpose of smut? No. Gimme a decent dose of angst and we'll talk. ;)

Oh how I do despise being considered uneducated and ignorant for my [livejournal.com profile] antiwar views.

I'm wondering if I should inform Park Newbie that they are mixing Sindarin and Quenya in the same sentence in signature, or just nail her for sig violation.

EDIT: Am apparently getting a door for my new room. Cool.

I'm torn. Should I go to Wal-Mart and buy my LOTR desk calendar and hair color, or put away money that I have for my copy of PSP7? Life is full of tough choices...


What kind of band geek are you?

If MSN is trying to appeal to the Spanish-speaking population, I daresay that they are failing quite miserably.

Caliente Jennifer Lopez indeed. I cringe.
