I got into a car accident today. I'm fine, the woman I hit is fine, my car was fine, her car was fine. Right now I'm in Kalamazoo visiting Katie. I'll be home on Sunday sometimes. Um. Something.
Oh, Jessa, when are you moving? Are you working at that bank yet?
Have a nice weekend. I love you all.

People are playing Fusion Frenzy in my realm (aka the tv room) right now. Zomigosh, it brings back sooooo many memories!!! Damn, I need to tell Chad and Brit sometime. Sigh. I was always Gina, and I sucked at everything except for the jump and duck thingy. Hee.
So yeah, tired. Blah. Moo. Don't feel like going into too much detail because I'm lazy.
Joel spent the night at my room, didn't get to sleep until late. Was dumb and told mom that today, she had this evil silence going on. I told her that nothing happened and that I was still a part of the virigin club. She made a relieved noise, then I told her that we had hot and steamy sex all night long. Again, the silence. I told her I was joking, she was relieved but not amused. Parents *sigh*
DDR Friday tomorrow!!!!!!!

Here's my thing...
I never realized how easy it would be to say goodbye. That got me thinking...
If I could disperse with that aspect of my life with such ease, could this thinking be applied elsewhere? Next target, my relentless need for perfection and completion. I'm quickly realizing that when it comes to school, my worst fears have been realized: my workload/program has finally passed my ability to bullshit my way through it. I realize now that from here on out I'm going to have to put my nose to the grindstone and punch this thing out. In order to survive, I'm going to have to adapt to being able to cope while doing so (AHH!!! So many prepositional phrases!!!). I've discovered that here, with no safety net and nobody holding me up (except for myself), that my old reactions, habits, and behavioral contingencies will make me miserable if I don't get them in check. They've already done so to a large extent; my current mood is much more than just a mid-term crunch. If I scale myself back quite a bit, and take this whole thing a little slower, I just might be able to make it work. You know what I feel like? I feel like a pro football rookie who, although he was the star in college, is finding that the NFL is literally a different ballgame. It's an incredibly humbling experience (i.e. I feel like an idiot most of the time), but the little man inside me suggests that it's not a bad thing (although I still want to punch him in the mouth).
The short version of this whole thing: I need to stop trying to reinvent the wheel.
I've got a tattoo that embodies my need for completion, and now I want one to signify the disarray and chaos of life. I'd like one to complement the other. Any suggestions?

"Have you ever seen an idealist with grey hairs on his head?
Or a succesful man who keeps in touch with unsuccessful friends?
You only think you did, I could have sworn I saw it too.
But as it turns out, it was just a clever ad for cigarettes."
Do you really think its true?
God I hope it isn't.
But if it is then I have been wasting my time.

Last night, I was watching Lost and there was a frost advisory warning that popped up and proceeded to scroll the counties that were affected across the screen. This wasn't neccessary because they had a lutle picture of the counties in west Michigan and the ones with the warning were colored blue.
Anyway, they were showing some flashback from the Korean chick so of course they were speaking Korean. With subtitles. And the warning only came up when they were talking, with the subtitles at the bottom.
So, for a while, you had no idea what was going on.

I am quite possibly the worst procrastinator in the world. I should have started studying for french over an hour ago. I finally started about 10 minutes ago, and now I'm taking a "study break". Yeah. But on the plus side, while I was procrastinating, I discovered I like the Pixies. A lot.
Ok, I'm gonna go study for real now.

Free Tibet... I'll take it!
Look who's back, back again...
Read more..
The Dalai Lama is going to speak at Stanford in November. Oh, how I wish one day that I might be able to see Tenzin Gyatso! Either way, you can watch his lectures at Stanford live(!) on their site. So it's a nice alternative.
There's a Free Tibet group in Michigan called TIBETmichigan. Starting on Sunday, October 23, they will show Tibet-related films every Sunday until January 29. You need to RVSP [re(accent?)spondez s'il vous plai(with-a-hat)t] to attend but it would be an awesome thing to go to. It's on Monroe Center, too so it's not too far away. You know what? I will go. If anyone wants to come with, call me. Here is their calendar and here is the event.
I love you all.
P.S. French is the most beautiful language. Songs in French are the most beautiful songs. This is not open for debate.

Herr Blickle, the German comp prof that I dislike most of the time since he doesn't teach us jack shit, told my class about German citizenship and whatnot today.
So, apparently, if you want to be a citizen of Germany you have to be German by blood. Interesting, ne? I think I could become a citizen. My grandma's grandparents and parents were all German. Hmmm... I'd hafta look at all of my lineage. That'd be time-consuming and boring.
I'll just file this away in the "If I ever go to Germany, marry a German boy, and stay in Germany" file.

So last week, because of budget cuts, three people at work were laid off. And I mean people, not student workers, people who had worked there for 5 - 30 years.
There were two people laid off in the Registrar's and Advising office, where I work. One was the receptionist, Michele, with whom I worked and loved to death. She'd been working there for four years. Her daughter works on the floor above us. One advisor was laid off, I didn't know her very well. Across the hall, in the Registrar's office, the person who handled all the graduation stuff was laid off.
They said they chose to lay off the people whose jobs could be taken over by others.
So it was really sad on Thursday, when they told everyone what happened. Since both offices are run entirely by women, everyone was crying. Even today, people were still upset. And they had reason to be. They are all very close, throwing parties for birthdays and parties for holidays.
So that's what's been happening. It's been upsetting because everyone feels guilty that they still have a job. Especially the student workers.
I love you all.

I want to stab my cellphone, damn its alarm clock
It sucks that people still don't understand my sense of humor. Granted, it is violent (like when I'm in bitch-mode, grumpy, or pissed) at times. But still... it's not like I'm a homicidal maniac out for blood and spleens. Spleens. Hee.
I'd go off and cry now if I could, if only I were by myself and not stuck at Brown. ;_;

I went down for breakfast today. For the first time, ever.
I ate Lucky Charms and thought of Ben ;p
I ate with this one chick, Coop, who lives on my floor. She invited me to stop by her room today sometime, so I will. Because I've gotta become more outgoing and make more friends on the floor. Other than befriending people in long to walk to places like Henry and Hoekje.
Oh and me, being the dumb one, I forgot my keys so I had to call Tara and ask her to come down and let me in through the security door. Right after I got off the phone with her some dude let me in ^^" Gack. Then I had to hurry off to Brown so I wouldn't miss my German convo class.
I'm not hungry because I ate breakfast. But maybe I'll go out to Sprau Tower after next class and yoink a snack before going down to the computer lab and printing up the rough draft for my english paper.
Le w00t.
Memo to self: REMEMBER KEYS
oh, and I've gotta stop being so moody. Effing hormones. All you males suck ;p
The coolest of the cool: I absolutely love it when Tara and I talk when we're both in bed. Even if only for a moment, even if only to say good night. It brings back memories of me wishing that I had a sister to do that with. Sigh. Can't exactly do that with Andy, he's as dense as a brick wall when it comes to emotions.

Roommates and the like
Some roommates become best friends (like Amanda and Tara), some become rivals (no example that I know of). I prefer to think of Tara as a sister. Sometimes the older one (okay, most times) and sometimes the younger one.
I felt so...complimented when she asked me some advice about dating and guys. And I can't help but babble to her about things going on in my life. Friendships, boys *blushes*, classes, weekends, going home... you name it. If I'm in a talkative mood, I'll just try to talk her ear off. I'm afraid though, once in a while, that I'm pissing her off by talking too much.
Tara, her friend, and a couple others are going to be renting out an apartment next year. The day when she came back, excitedly announcing that she'd signed the lease for the apartment, something akin to pride just broke over me. I was immediatly excited for her, seeing her so happy. Like when she told me that Fall Out Boy was going to be at her friend's party. She was so excited that it was freaking adorable.
I have to admit that I'm not the best roommate. Hell, I'm probably the worst. I'm messy, I hate getting up, I'm grumpy as a bitch in the morning, I grumble about food, I take my time in the shower, I listen to heavy metal, I wear black waaaaaaaay too much, in the beginning I was antisocial, depressed, and angry, I won't touch the vaccum, and I rant. I can't see how Tara can stand to live with me. I try to be good, honest. And I don't have any problem with her, just her phone when it rings late at night when we're trying to sleep ;p
Look, the point that I'm rambling on trying to show is that I have no problem with my roommate. She's probably the best roommate that I could ever have. Sure we have our differences, but that adds a bit of spice and flavor to everything. I wish I could tell her that I love her (platonically) and I always want to hug her. But I'm afraid that I'll scare her.
Tara's the best. I hope you all get a chance to meet her someday.
