Okay, so I've been packing to move and I need to make a list of things I still need to do before I go. ( cut for scrolling past )I don't have a ton of stuff, and my mom's saying she'll help me with stuff but I've a feeling it'll just be her whining at me for doing it wrong or something. We'll see! I have some characters at Fair that I need to figure out what to do with. I put up an open thread for Gabby today, and it's been over a month since I've done something with Abby or Gen in-game, and Charles hasn't even really done anything yet. I still need to update or do things with some characters at other games that haven't done anything in a while annndddd yes. The days keep passing so quickly! And I still need to make my family's Christmas cards! Gah. Okay. I can do this. |

Okay! Today's goals are to get more envelopes to mail out books, run to the bank and whatever my mom's insisting I do, finish family Christmas cards, and to pack up at least the clothes in my dresser drawers. Yes.
I'm starting to get sick and I really need to not be. My throat's hurting and I keep coughing and it's ridiculous. I have a few rp things to catch up on today, annnnddddd yes.
That is all. |

Hmmmm I need a listy-list! ( Cut so you can scroll past )idk if I'm forgetting anything. I need to put up something for Oliver at 91 as a reaction to the fair stuff. And probably try to put up an open thread or two at Fair. Andddddd oh! I want to finish the fic I started last night and...Gosh, I still feel like I'm forgetting something! I have no idea what. But if any of you want any of mine for play or whatever, just let me know! ♥ |

Okay. I have Stuff to Catch Up on!
I have made the quiche for today. Then I will shower and load up the car with the blankets my mum wants me to bring her. And I will bring her and the coworkers quiche for lunch. And then I want to stop once at the grocery store, then home to pack the textbooks I've sold to mail off, add this semester's books to half.com to sell, clean my room, go through and start sorting things to pack/throw away.
My Norton anti-virus has expired and I can't really afford $70 to renew it right now. I have Ad-Aware and I need to run it because I've been getting a lot of pop-ups on IE and I don't know why. It's never been a problem before so I wonder if it's some sort of trojan horse or something? I've gotta run ad-aware and...Do any of you guys know of any others that might work better or whatnot? That are relatively affordable?
ACTUALLY Ad-Aware keeps making my computer freeze, so idk what's going on with that?
RP-wise I have just a couple of tags to catch up on and I want to try to update with my characters who owe updates in their games. Annndddd yes.
I am going to eat my quiche now, and then see about starting the rest of my day. |

Man, I am so restless tonight and antsy and bored and lonely and I just want to rp tonight.
But I have enough logs going that I don't want to start anything new, but I'm caught up on tags so I'm just waiting and I feel stuck. |

Okay I think I'm caught up on tags for the moment and will slowly poke at tags and stuff as I get them. I'm not sure yet if I'll work on any other fics or writing projects. I'm itching to write but I'm feeling a bit lazy about it too. It's weird.
Last night was interesting. One of my high school friends took me to Pluckers, a wing bar up here in Dallas. It was $2 margarita night, so I had one and then had one of their "Toxic Tea"s which was sweet tea with raspberry liqueur and vodka. You couldn't taste the vodka and it was so good and I wanted more. But I didn't want to drink too much so I stopped myself after the two. Which was fine because I was starting to feel it and I ended up hanging out for a little while when I got home and then falling asleep at like eight. I'm such a lightweight it's almost pathetic.
I should get up to feed the dogs and stuff. And try to get things started for my day. |

Starting my next book. Inspiration hit me at five in the morning but I laughed and rolled back over to sleep. |

I had forgotten how much I like to look at Hugh Dancy. (How does one forget such a thing?!) Also, this makes me laugh for all his creepster staring at the girl as he's reciting Byron. (I also want to know how on earth I have half that poem memorized because I can't remember when I read it or why I would have memorized it). I blame episodic. :) I didn't really get a lot of studying done today but I'm not so very worried about tomorrow's test. I'll pass the class no matter what I do, really, so I'm not so very worried about it. I spent most of today looking through pictures of Henry Cavill and Hugh Dancy and Jamie Bell a number of other really pretty boys. Mostly Europeans. Clearly this means that I need to make my way across the Atlantic at some point and marry a man (preferably kilt-wearing) and have lots of pretty babies (and I will then name them things like Jamie and Bailey and other names that rp characters of mine have already held). Except maybe not really. Who knows! This entry has basically turned into a bunch of rambles but that's okay. My mommy cried today because she started getting all sad for my leaving. We ended up eating pistachios and watching Winnie the Pooh on tv before eating dinner. Then we watched The Sing-Off which wasn't as good as I had kind of hoped it would be. I do so love a good a capella group. If you want a good one, go for a group like Hyannis Sound! (hello, random plug >_> ) Tomorrow I have sushi for lunch with a friend, then my test at three, then dinner with another friend. I can't really remember the last time I had plans like this, but it's kind of nice. Definitely a change from the norm. And this has been a lot of rambling. So I shall stop now. |

Hooray! Caught up on tags, icons for ickle!Oliver, Emmeline, and Ava keyworded properly since I never did that, and my current character list is updated!
Tonight I made a hibachi restaurant style dinner, except it was at home in a pan instead of on a grill. Shrimp, steak, and stir-fried bean sprouts/zucchini/squash, along with some miso soup. And it was delicious! My mom and I got to sit down and talk some, which was nice.
I don't have a whole lot going on, so I'd love to talk plot or play with some of you if you're up to it. :)
Random, but I miss writing Wayne Hopkins in a post-warts setting. And my Slytherin girls.
I think I may make some fried bananas for dessert. That sounds delicious! |

So after the crazy of yesterday, I spent today lazing about and now I don't quite know what to do with myself! I need to do a little cleaning and that sort of thing. Then tomorrow's my Italian final, and after that I need to see about figuring out my answers for Tuesday's Medieval Europe final. And catch up on sleep.
RP-wise I think I'm pretty much caught up on things. I need to do something with Ava at BNW. Emmeline was submitted to 91 today, annnndddddd yes.
I think I'm starting to get sick and I really really don't want to get sick, but I suppose this is one of the better times to be getting sick. I also need to start thinking about packing and getting all of that kind of stuff done.
Anddddd yes. That is all I have for now. |

Okayyyyyy I know you guys have cute pictures/gifs/links so can I ask you guys to spam me with stuff to make me smile? Please? Anything you'd like!
Or I'd also be amused by dirty drabbles (anything from a sentence to however long you want?) between one of my characters and one of yours, since that seems to be going around, too, if any of you are up for something like that. ;) |

Classes are done, and I have two exams to take. Those shouldn't be too difficult; I am reminded, however, that I need to get a blue book for my Medieval Europe exam.
Today I pretty much just want to relax and write as I can. I have that strange urge to write something historical again- maybe I'll see about writing some original fiction or something. Or I'll just go find all those books on Scottish history I borrowed at the library last weekend and read them and see what I can come up with.
It is so weird to not have to do anything for school. I'm mostly caught up on rp- I'm pretty sure I'm caught up on all the tags I owe, so today I think I'll hang out, make some meatball subs at home, poke at my app for Emmeline (I wrote a history for her in British Empire yesterday), anddddd yes. I need a good, easy-going day.
ETA: okay not quite such a lazy day but oh well. Off to the store then to do chores around the house. |

( RP To catch up on after tomorrow )I'm not sure if I'm missing anything; if any of you want/need any of mine for anything, or if I'm forgetting something we're doing, please let me know! Had a meeting with career services today; it went about as I had expected. I have to figure out what kind of job I want to look for before she can help me write up my resume. I'm leaning toward HR but am still researching. She suggested trying to look into some of the bigger hotels up there for behind-the-scenes/not-front-desk jobs since most of my work experience has been in the hotel industry. It sounds interesting enough; even if I were to get into HR or sales to begin with, I could learn some stuff and potentially move to another company. I don't know! There's a lot to think about. And..yes. I will close this up and head off to bed now, I think. |
