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.

Oi. I hate that I am such a procrastinator. I have a huge project due in Personal Finance (a HOME INVENTORY) and I just started yesterday. Oy vey. >_<

And, I have a job! Hooray! I will be working at Blimpies starting the weekend after school lets out. I am so happy. :D :D :D

I can't wait until school is out and I can have my free time back. To do things like read and write extra verses to "Frodo of the Nine Fingers".

1. Am playing [livejournal.com profile] greeneyedlily in [livejournal.com profile] the_giant_squid. It was something different. At least I'll get to die eventually, yeah?

2. I hate algebra. Oh yes I do. ::w33ps::

3. The "Tuck Everlasting" soundtrack is one of the few that I can listen to all the way through from beginning to end. Excellent movie, too.

4. Joe was so sick today. I saw him in the morning when we got Mrs. Koch's paper and read the comics, but then I saw him again during jazz band and he didn't look at all well. He was really pale, tired, and just looked icky. :( And Katie was in a bad mood today. I hate it when my friends are sick or in bad moods and I can't do anything about it.

5. I am sitting at my uncle's computer. I love my uncle's computer. The keyboard makes cool noises when I type. Click click click click. :D My uncle has the most amazing books. He has a lot of sccience and fantasy novels, and probably every Stephen King book ever written (except "Bag of Bones", I don't see that one).

6. I apologize to those of you who have Cyg on your friend's list... well, no, not really. Because This will always be worth another look.

7. The funniest thing happened at youth group last night. We were playing Capture the Flag, and I was guarding our flag. Adam comes around the side and says, "Yoooou can't catch me!" I go to chase him, and he says again, "Yoooou can't catch me!" He turns to run and goes probably one and a half steps before he crashes into a tree. It was a young tree that was only planted about five years ago, so it bent with him, but I ended up laughing so hard I couldn't even stand up.

8. I like "A Farewell to Arms". Sometimes it sounds like it was written in another language first, though. Maybe it was. Meh.

9. HAVE RELIENT K'S NEW CD! Whee! "Two Lefts Don't Make a Right... But Three Do." How genius is that?

10. Newsies!Magnum Opus is named "The Hands That Built America." It features characters based off of many of my friends including Joe, Alex, Rachel, Daphne, Katie, [livejournal.com profile] fireandmush, [livejournal.com profile] relic5_5, [livejournal.com profile] cardboardprops, [livejournal.com profile] harumph, and the rest of you schmucks I met in the Newsies fandom. :D

Nothing to write today.

Besides to say that was one hell of an algebra test, Mr. Townsley.

And that I am very sad because Mr. Rogers died today. Its a very sad day in the neighborhood.

EDIT: And I found my "Into the Woods" CD! Much listenage is needed!

(But I have just realized that Jack refers to Milky White as a "he" and his mother refers to the cow as a "she". Is confused.)

I am SO BORED. I'm supposed to be filling out a review worksheet for Personal Finance, but half of the stuff isn't even in our packets. Jesus Christ on a popsicle stick. I guess I'll just fail the freaking test.

I hate school, really. I would rather be home schooled and do work at my own pace.

And my "Into the Woods" CD is still missing, waaaaaah!

Cursed myself by laughing at [livejournal.com profile] mireille626's misfortune of pouring coffee down her shirt. Was at Wal-Mart card shopping for all you lovely people, and of course I didn't want the cards on the bottom four shelves, no, I saw the box I wanted on the top shelf, a good eight or nine feet in the air. So, silly me, I go to stand on the second shelf to get it, and BAM I lose my footing and invariably take three entire shelves of Christmas cards with me to the floor.

But I got the pattern I wanted. :)

And since I haven't ranted about algebra in awhile, let's do that. I hate math and science in almost all forms (I like genetics). It holds no interest for me. I don't like numbers. Numbers are rhetorical, and who really cares how fast train A is traveling if it goes 330 kilometers in the same time it takes train B to travel 400? I. Don't. Care.

Have finished article and letter to the editor about Andrew Carnegie in three hours. Damn I'm good at this procrastinating stuff.

Anyway, not so good at basic algebra. ::cough:: i.e. "The height of the Statue of Liberty is 93m. This is about 0.27 the height of the Hancock Bulding in Chicago. What is the approximate height of the Hancock Building."

ExCUSE me?

Also, "Checkmate" wallpaper is gone. Knew it wouldn't last.

And, I have a new nickname. I am the Soprano from Hell (because Dan said so). Fear me.
