You can tell that it is wearing off if you start to think maybe some other time would have been better.

Weekend events went well. It was necessary. I don't want to talk about Mike...he killed my buzz. Ever since then I have been feeling strange and ignoring his calls. The feeling and the action are not related. I am not getting much work done--even with my course load I feel like I can slide by. I have to study for the LSAT though. Games will kick my butt and if I get below 160...it doesn't even feel that important right now. That is what happens when you enter your ideal self and feel it slip away.

I kind of wish I had stayed at the white party longer and had been prepared to go. What remains of my black nail polish is a fair indicator of how much I clashed.

Dance is getting better. Hannah and I went to today's TA session and I feel more comfortable moving. Once it feels more natural, I think I can at least not embarrass Hannah too much. It's fun. I just wish my shoes would arrive. Cross your fingers for me people.

What else has been going on?
Becca and I started running. Sessions consist of me trying to keep her at a constant speed, but she is too hard on herself if you ask her how she is doing. Becca is in pretty good shape--at least she can run a mile(+) and hold a conversation the entire time.

I have been thinking about starting a new journal. There isn't any purpose in it...I just like fresh starts. Ha, I actually started writing a short story some time ago. Maybe I'll post it if I feel like criticism. I just want to find my own style for everything.

Maybe I'll go make a new one now. At least it can thin out the dead journals.

I had my first dance class! Too bad I am horrible, because it was a lot of fun. Hannah might have to be a little more patient with me than expected, but I also have to dance with other people...and they have no idea. The horror. My dancing...not so good.

Other classes are great: I will be having slight issues juggling my schedule. I'm taking about 30% more units than I should be and apparently Dash, the twins, and I are doing a panel discussion for international symposium day? In other words the workload is going to keep increasing over the next few weeks as projects get piled on. Maybe I'll drop something. Who knows.

Not really any other news.

I love gossip.

Aug. 19th, 2007 @ 02:30 pm Mochi?
Current Location: CT
Current Mood: aggravated
Current Music: MSI
I nearly freaked when I saw a commercial for a "delicious" food item that looked like mochi. I knew it had to be something else, so I waited and sure enough...it was for transportable cheese. ooook.

Leaving for school Thursday. Three more loads of laundry need to be done between now and then.

My anthro seminar is starting with a heavy amount of mythical beasts from China. One is a bird who calls its name, "Ben! Ben!" It looks like a magpie and is easily frightened. My book goes on like that for another 200 pages I think.

Another one of these things. Leave a comment so that I have something to reply to and I will:
1. Tell you why I friended you.
2. Associate you with something - a song, a color, an image, etc.
3. Tell you something I like about you.
4. Tell you a memory I have of you. (I'll choose a different one than I have before.)
5. Associate you with a fictional character (or several characters, if you are that awesome).
6. Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
7. Tell you my favorite user pic of yours.
8. In return, you must post this in your LJ. (hahahaaa)

Aug. 8th, 2007 @ 08:06 pm Summer Reading
Current Location: CT
Current Mood: distressed
Current Music: Mmm nice AC
I have summer reading!:
Anne Birrell, The Classic of Mountains and Seas
Claude Lévi-Strauss, Tristes Tropiques
Richard Strassberg, A Chinese Bestiary

The third is a library reserve which normally costs between sixty and seventy dollars, but I bought it in adobe format for $15 so...add it to the list.

I also noticed a few fiction books I want. *cries* I have no time.

At least now I have an excuse for not studying Japanese.

Current Location: CT
Current Mood: hyper
Current Music: Switching to Bergerac, "Dress"
So I will be close to Chicago yet again this school year. Might as well take advantage of the location and see some concerts. My research has been less than fulfilling, so if anyone knows of a good one coming up, send the information along. Yes, I am aware that TBM is playing in September, but I saw something on a message board about them incorporating rap? I think I will wait and see.

For the LSAT, I officially want a score about ten points higher. Questions seem formulaic (who would have guessed?) so a little practice won't kill me. I have a whole book on the test who assures me of that. I just don't want to end up in a safety school. :-/

In other news, my sister went to the emergency room. Popped some sort of blister on her hand...now they just need to lance the one on her ear. I wonder if the hand blister was from a piercing too.

And damn, around twenty days until Beloit? I need to fight more Connecticut junkies in preparation! P-Pow. Preparation for begging my old adviser to let me into his logic class.

I just saw a vid of Daisuke's live performance with his new band! Still kicking ass! Thank you, Germany.

USA apparently knows how to get me to watch one of its sub-par shows: Give Bruce Campbell a recurring role. Not to imply that all of USA's programming is crap. Monk, Psych, (shows with one-word names?), probably some others...those are good.

Let's step down a couple floors past sub-par into the near-mental collapse. I'm of course referring to the latest Harry Potter--doubtlessly as wonderfully complex as a live journal entry.

Not implying anything there either.
I can say that I got the full spoiler before the book came out. I won't ruin it. Everyone is entitled to their mindless time suckers.

Like Guild Wars!



A Sicko commercial? This fad needs to die.

Jul. 8th, 2007 @ 05:25 pm The turning point
I blame Nixon. Maybe a lot of the legal problems in America started around then. At least he was ousted. The US started with some good stuff. Slaughterhouse-Five, Silent Spring, gender and ethnic equality movements, a lot of good impetus for making laws. When did it start going downhill I wonder. Judges suing dry-cleaners for hundreds of thousands of dollars for temporarily misplaced suits, RIAA, leased software, morally repugnant consumer contracts...and the worst part is a good deal of this is based on legalist doctrine. I just don't know what to think.

My life follows the path of genocide. Wherever I go, I kill. I kill army upon army of spider babies. Tonight I killed thirty or so in wave after wave of disgusting vacuum-powered slaughter. This will happen until I wipe them from the planet or until spiders learn to have fucking abortions if they can't keep their goddamn kids under control.

When the zombie spiders get here, tell them I left town.

Sartre takes too frickin' long to read and I need beer.

I wish I had some bizarre interest to promote. For the sake of anti-censorship, anti-corporation, anti-control values.

The best I can come up with is sitting around naked. Nobody cares about that though.

Although I am spreading visual kei propaganda one person at a time...

Current Music: "Burn My Dead" -- Persona 3 Soundtrack
Atlus, the game developer behind the Persona and Shin Megami Tensei series, holds monthly contests where someone who registered a game or subscribed to the newsletter wins a "cool prize." I won! Apparently. In November. I got some stuff from Irvine California, the place where the company is located, but my parents didn't give me the envelope until today. I will probably be pissed later after I am over the cool stuff I got: a harmonica key chain and an Atlus strap with Jack Frost, a kind of mascot, on it.

Almost makes up for that terrible game Rule of Rose.

Edit: Oh Sartre, will you be my daddy?

I could very well be the victim of identity theft, so if you get an email from my Beloit account, ignore it.

Edit: Ignore the above. It's just my dad who is :p My password change apparently went through even though it was "illegal" by Beloit protocol. Whatever.
