Wow, I...just remembered that I had one of these. I was looking up an old webcomic I used to read, and remembered that I followed it here on livejournal.

So life has changed....a lot. A lot a lot. I'm sick right now, and I just took some PM cold meds, so this might get rambly, but oh well.

Well, in the past year, I've done a lot of stuff...I moved out of my parents' house, I worked at Target for like 2 months, and then, blissfully, after 6 months of unemployment/working at a crap part-time job, I got hired at DPI again. I'm still there now, and things are good. A little frustrating, and I think the company might go under, but, I'll cross that bridge if I come to it.

Uhhh...right now, I am reading Game of Thrones, and watching the TV show as I read. That's fun times. I haven't taken to a book like this since The Hunger Games, although being sick, I haven't been able to just concentrate on the book cause my head is all fuzzy.

I have a boyfriend now. We've been dating since December 2011. It's going well.


All of my friends are slowly migrating back to St. Louis. Anne, Sarah, Melissa, they'll all be here this summer. I would say we could have an epic birthday bash, but I will be at Emily and Scott's wedding on my 24th birthday, so that'll have to wait.

Yep, I've been living with yet another engaged couple. I need to write my maid of honor speech, I don't have a lot of time left for that. I got my bridesmaid dress and, thank god, it fits.

I am madly in love with Parks and Recreation. Best TV show ever. (HIMYM too, but I know that's on its way out because they're going to do something big this Monday...I can FEEL it) Grey's Anatomy is still really good too.

I haven't written in ages. That's a little sad. I'm just too distracted by life, work, roommates, friends, netflix/hulu, games....my life is pretty good right now. I have mostly everything I wanted. I think in a couple of months, once Emily and Scott leave, I'll be getting things figured out.

Who knows.

Okay, I'm starting to get woozy from the meds, I think I'm going to curl up with some TV and pass out. Mother's Day lunch tomorrow.

....I think I'm going to start writing here again, maybe. I miss it...(and tumblr sucks ass....I don't care how much Kevin likes it, it annoys the balls out of me.)

I'm getting everything you're sending. And I just lost half a post to copy and paste this because I'm actually snickering. I'm sorry, I don't mean to laugh at your misfortune, but this is what I'm seeing...

Now I'm just confused! Wtf!!

Today was horrible.

Some parts of it were good.

But the good is highly overshadowed by the bad.

I want to curl up with a sad episode of Grey's Anatomy and cry my eyes out.

ROFL.

I just had to write this down for memory's sake.

(reading through this ridiculous book I bought her for Christmas, "Harry Potter Should Have Died")

Me: Ooh! Here's an interesting one. "Were Hufflepuffs dismissed as lame?"
Anne: No, because they were whores.

So, I absolutely adore Edie Britt.

For a lot of reasons.

I think the Carlos/Edie plot is a little weird, but I was just watching, and I totally forgot about her marvelous monologue:

Just stop seeing the person that I've been and start seeing the person I could be. Look at me, not the Edie that I show the world. In fact - let's lose her. Forget the blouse that she wears because she knows it shows off her cleavage. And the skirt that's so short, because she knows that guys love long legs. And the heels, the ones that make her legs look even longer. Forget the bra that holds her breasts a little higher than they are on their own these days. And the panties, the ones that hide the scar from my c-section. This is it. Hi, Carlos. I'm Edie. I might not be the woman that you thought I was under all of that but I'm real, and I'm here. And I'm asking for a chance.

I just think that's so cool.

In other news, can't wait to go see It's Complicated with Anne tonight!! WOOHOO! So much fun! Gotta remember to take lots of pictures. And bring some quarters. DDR? Possibly. Bonus light game? Maybe. Fun times? DEFINITELY.

Love!

So, I have some pretty big stuff that I need to update y'all on, but I just haven't had the time or the motivation. I have SOOOOOO much to get done before tomorrow, it's INSANE. But this time tomorrow, I should be rolling into St. Louis, so it's all worth it. Right? Of course right.

So here's my to-do list, and I'm going to use it to motivate myself to get my butt into gear.

1.) YA Reader Paper
2.) Sci-Fi/Fantasy Paper
3.) Historical Fiction Paper
4.) Misc. Ch Lit Paper
5.) Poster project for Linguistics
6.) Finish MO constitution course...this actually only needs to be done by 5 on Friday, but I don't wanna risk it
7.) Clean and pack!

Okay, so I've got one paper done. And it feels fantastic. Now I just need to do three more, and the poster. I'm debating whether or not I want to hand-write everything or make the trip to the library to print stuff off. I don't want to seem like I rushed it, because I've actually had everything planned for WEEKS now, but you know.....I dunno. We'll see. Presentation for that is tomorrow, which will actually be not so bad.

Hopefully I get a B in that class. I REALLY don't want a C. *sigh*

I don't know how I dealt with getting a C in Latin last year. I'm kind of freaking out right now. Oh well, I don't know. I don't really care. I'm not going to grad school, so my motivation is like...plummetting.

Oh well.

Anyway.

I'm going to go take a small break.

Then come back here and get crackin on that Sci-Fi/Fantasy paper. It shouldn't be too hard. I've read two out of the three books I'm supposed to talk about. The two ch. lit papers are going to be really hard, because I haven't read any of the books for those. Woooops.

Oh well!

Making great time! I might just finish everything by the evening tonight! Hopefully! At least I'm not procrastinating and starting all of this at, like, seven in the evening!

And I don't have to work.

That was a big factor for me not doing these things this whole past week. I've been working every day/every other day since Friday of last week. And I had tests before that. So I mean, it's understandable...right? Of course right.

Blegh!

Okay.

Final stretch.

Let's DO THIS.

I think I found my perfect butterbeer recipe!!

http://www.hanshaupt.com/2009/07/31/madam-rosmertas-butterbeer/

It has alcohol, ANNND it's warm. Do you know how difficult it is to find recipes with BOTH of those?

So yeah, the party should be OUTRAGEOUSLY fun on Friday. I'm super stoked. I should probably do some cleaning tonight to get ready. And then on Friday, we're going to go to Walmart to get everything. I might walk to Walgreens on Thursday, since I have the day off, and get some decorations that I don't want to buy in front of Amanda. Because I have a little surprise that I think will be fun. Yay!

I'm so excited. This semester's almost over. I have no finals, and only two tests, and they're both multiple choice. I still have plenty of papers to do, but I figure I can knock those out no problem. And then the MO constitution course, but that's just a silly joke. I'm four quizzes away from finishing it. So, whatevs.

EEEEEEE!

It's freezing cold outside, so some organization was giving away free hot chocolate. Delicious.

Hrmmm.

I think I'm going to read a bit, then head off to YA Lit and Chemistry. My day ends at 5:30, but I don't have class tomorrow! YAY!

Much love!!

So, the last lab of the semester is done! We made soap today with lye and fat, and at the end I played with it to mold it, but I used my hands. Now my hands are kind of itchy and burning. Also, really really dry. So I hope I didn't burn myself, because that would suck.

Anyway!

Work in about an hour. I'll be there until 11, bleh. But hey, it's money. And I don't have to work again until Saturday, so that's awesome. A week without overnights is a week well spent. (Even though I...*cough*...pulled an all-nighter Sunday night...*shifty eyes*)

I got to take a nap today between class and lab, and I don't have class on Thursday. Nor do I have English classes on Friday, which leaves me with just history. Which is a test. BUH. Oh well. It's modern stuff, post-Cold War, so it'll be fun. I like talking about history that I know.

Anywhoooooooooo...yeah, that nap was great. Any time I sleep now, I sleep like a rock. And I've been having some pretty funky dreams. But at least that means I'm getting my REM cycle, right? Ehh, ehh? *nudgenudge*

I have to do a shift cut tonight. I'm almost looking forward to them. Considering the fact that I used to hate them with every fiber of my being, because they were constantly off, I think I've gotten to the point where I actually kind of enjoy doing them. I get to ignore customers for a while, at least. And with EOD shift cuts, whatever mistakes there are aren't likely to be mine, because it's not just me who's been handling the money. With 6 am cuts, it's been me for the entire shift. So if I'm off by, say, 10 dollars, it's like, "Hmmm....where did that 10 dollars go? Let's check Christine's pockets!"

The party on Friday should be awesome. I walked home from KG today (grabbed some lunch) with Jay, which was pretty fun. And not really awkward. Considering what we talked about the other day. It HAS been a week, and he WAS drinking, so who the heck knows if he even remembers.

Anyway.

I haven't talked to Anne in forever!! She seems really busy, and that's sad. Then again, I'm going to be crazy busy for the next two weeks, so I suppose I understand. But my poster project for Linguistics isn't due until two weeks from Thursday! Hooray! But that means I have to stay all of finals week. Boo. But I don't have any finals! Hooray!

Oh man.

Okies.

I need to....get dressed. Into my awesome KG uniform. Which is probably hellaz dirty cause I haven't washed it in a while. Ooooh weeeell...


Love!

Tired tired tired.

I want to take a nap after my class, but I need to take a shower then...and finish lab...so it's gonna be a small nap.

Then lab from 2:30-4:30. And work from 5-11.

Ewwwwwwwwww.

At least it's Tuesday.

It's never really busy on Tuesday.


Looove.
